PROGRAM, PROJECT, AND ACTIVITY
During fiscal year 2022, for the purposes of the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law
99-177), as amended, with respect to appropriations contained
in the accompanying bill, the terms ``program, project, and
activity'' (PPA) shall mean any item for which a dollar amount
is contained in appropriations acts (including joint
resolutions providing continuing appropriations) and
accompanying reports of the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations, or accompanying conference reports and joint
explanatory statements of the committee of conference. This
definition shall apply to all programs for which new budget
(obligational) authority is provided, as well as to
discretionary grants and discretionary grant allocations made
through either bill or report language.
The Committee directs the departments and agencies funded
by this bill to address each number listed in the reports in
their respective operating plans and warns that efforts to
operate programs at levels contrary to the levels recommended
and directed in these reports would not be advised.
OPERATING PLANS AND REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES
The Committee includes a provision (section 405)
establishing the authority by which funding made available to
the agencies funded by this Act may be reprogrammed for other
purposes. The provision specifically requires the advance
approval of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
of any proposal to reprogram funds that:
creates a new program;
eliminates a PPA;
increases funds or personnel for any PPA for
which funds have been denied or restricted by the
Congress;
redirects funds that were directed in such
reports for a specific activity to a different purpose;
augments an existing PPA in excess of
$5,000,000 or 10 percent, whichever is less;
reduces an existing PPA by $5,000,000 or 10
percent, whichever is less; or
creates, reorganizes, or restructures
offices different from the congressional budget
justifications or the table at the end of the Committee
report, whichever is more detailed.
The Committee retains the requirement that each agency
submit an operating plan to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations not later than 60 days after enactment of this
Act to establish the baseline for application of reprogramming
and transfer authorities provided in this Act. Specifically,
each agency must provide a table for each appropriation with
columns displaying the budget request; adjustments made by
Congress; adjustments for rescissions, if appropriate; and the
fiscal year enacted level. The table shall delineate the
appropriation both by object class and by PPA. The report also
must identify items of special Congressional interest. Should
the agency create, alter, discontinue, or otherwise change any
program as described in the agency's budget justification,
those changes must be a part of the agency's operating plan.
Finally, the agency shall submit with the operating plan a
summary of the reporting requirements contained in this Act,
the House and Senate reports, and the statement of the
managers. The summary should include Inspector General and
Government Accountability Office reports as well. In certain
instances, the Committee may direct the agency to submit a
revised operating plan for approval or may direct changes to
the operating plan if the plan is not consistent with the
directives of the conference report and statement of the
managers.
The Committee expects the agencies and bureaus to submit
reprogramming requests in a timely manner and to provide a
thorough explanation of the proposed reallocations, including a
detailed justification of increases and reductions and the
specific impact of proposed changes on the budget request for
the following fiscal year. Any reprogramming request shall
include any out-year budgetary impacts and a separate
accounting of program or mission impacts on estimated carryover
funds. Reprogramming procedures shall apply to funds provided
in this Act, unobligated balances from previous appropriations
Acts that are available for obligation or expenditure in fiscal
year 2022, and non-appropriated resources such as fee
collections that are used to meet program requirements in
fiscal year 2022.
The Committee expects each agency to manage its programs
and activities within the amounts appropriated by the Congress.
The Committee reminds agencies that reprogramming requests
should be submitted only in the case of an unforeseeable
emergency or a situation that could not have been anticipated
when formulating the budget request for the current fiscal
year. Except in emergency situations, reprogramming requests
should be submitted no later than June 30, 2022. Further, the
Committee notes that when an agency submits a reprogramming or
transfer request to the Committees on Appropriations and does
not receive identical responses from the House and Senate, it
is the responsibility of the agency to reconcile the House and
Senate differences before proceeding and, if reconciliation is
not possible, to consider the request to reprogram funds
unapproved.
The Committee would also like to clarify that this section
applies to working capital funds of both the Department of
Transportation (DOT) and Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) and that no funds may be obligated from
working capital fund accounts to augment programs, projects, or
activities for which appropriations have been specifically
rejected by the Congress, or to increase funds or personnel for
any PPA above the amounts appropriated by this Act.
CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS
Budget justifications are the primary tool used by the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations to evaluate the
resource requirements and fiscal needs of agencies. The
Committee is aware that the format and presentation of budget
materials is largely left to the agency within presentation
objectives set forth by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). In fact, OMB Circular A-11, part 1 specifically
instructs agencies to consult with congressional committees
beforehand. The Committee expects that all agencies funded
under this Act will heed this directive.
The Committee expects all of the budget justifications to
provide the data needed to make appropriate and meaningful
funding decisions. The Committee continues the direction that
justifications submitted with the fiscal year 2023 budget
request by agencies funded under this Act contain the customary
level of detailed data and explanatory statements to support
the appropriations requests at the level of detail contained in
the funding table included at the end of this report. Among
other items, agencies shall provide a detailed discussion of
proposed new initiatives, proposed changes in the agency's
financial plan from prior year enactment, detailed data on all
programs, and comprehensive information on any office or agency
restructurings. At a minimum, each agency must also provide
adequate justification for funding and staffing changes for
each individual office and materials that compare programs,
projects, and activities that are proposed for fiscal year 2023
to the fiscal year 2022 enacted levels.
The Committee is aware that the analytical materials
required for review by the Committee are unique to each agency
in this Act. Therefore, the Committee expects that each agency
will coordinate with the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations in advance on its planned presentation for its
budget justification materials in support of the fiscal year
2023 budget request.
OTHER MATTERS
The Committee directs each of the departments and agencies
funded by this Act to identify opportunities to prioritize
resilience, equity, environmental justice, regional efforts,
and robust stakeholder engagement.
Resiliency.--The Committee believes that every new
construction or major rehabilitation project funded by this Act
should be constructed to the most current relevant standards
and that these projects should address the risk of structure
failure or loss of use from natural hazards throughout the
lifetime of the project. As a measure of responsible fiscal
prudence, resilient construction and land management practices
should be integrated into every program funded by this Act.
Performance measures.--The Committee directs each of the
departments and 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.
Customer service.--The Committee continues to support
efforts to improve customer service in accordance with
executive order 13571. The Committee directs all departments
and agencies funded by this Act to develop standards to improve
customer service and incorporate the standards into the
performance plans required under title 31 of the United States
Code. Further, the Committee recognizes that not all
departments and agencies are subject to executive order 13571.
For such departments and agencies funded by this Act, the
Committee directs the departments and agencies to make
continuous improvements and adopt best practices for improving
customer service.
Native plant preference.--In undertaking a land management
activity on lands under the jurisdiction of any of the
departments or agencies funded by this Act, including
maintenance and restoration in response to degradation caused
by human activity or natural events (such as fire, flood, or
infestation), the Committee continues to direct that it be the
policy of the aforementioned agencies that preference shall be
made, to the extent practicable, for the use of locally adapted
native plant materials.
Federal advertising.--The Committee understands that, as
the largest advertiser in the United States, the Federal
government should work to ensure fair access to its advertising
contracts for small disadvantaged businesses, businesses owned
by minorities and women, and local media. As such, the
Committee directs each department and agency funded by this Act
to include the following information in its fiscal year 2023
budget justification: expenditures for fiscal year 2021 and
2022, respectively, for all contracts for advertising services
of Small Business Administration-recognized socioeconomic
subcategory-certified small businesses, as defined in the Small
Business Act, and all minority-owned businesses, as well as for
local media.
Targeted investments in impoverished areas.--The Committee
supports targeted investments in impoverished areas, including
areas of persistent poverty. To understand how programs funded
through the departments and agencies funded by this Act are
serving these particular areas, House Report 116-106 directed
such departments and agencies to submit a report on the
percentage of funds allocated by each program in fiscal years
2017, 2018, and 2019 and estimates for fiscal year 2020 that
serve populations living in persistent poverty counties or
census tracts. House Report 116-452 further directed such
departments and agencies to update the information with the
data for the next fiscal year upon completion of the initial
report required by House Report 116-106.
The Committee is disappointed that DOT and HUD have not
completed the report required by House Report 116-106. The
Committee understands that DOT is working with its operating
administrations to gather, compile, and analyze this
information from multiple systems and that there are some
limitations on the available data based on the programs
administered by some operating administrations. The Committee
directs DOT to continue this work, and directs DOT to brief the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its findings
no later than 30 days after the completion of the report
required by House Report 116-106. The Committee notes with
further disappointment that HUD did not provide a briefing to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its
efforts to comply with House Report 116-106 as requested by the
Committee in April 2021. The Committee directs HUD to complete
the report required by House Report 116-106, and directs HUD to
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its
findings no later than 30 days after the completion of the
report required by House Report 116-106. Further, if DOT and
HUD have not submitted the reports required by House Report
116-106 within 60 days of enactment of this Act, then the
Committee directs DOT and HUD to brief the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations no later than 90 days after
enactment of this Act on the status of their respective
reports.
Promoting land use policies and affordable housing
development.--The Committee is concerned with urban sprawl,
overwhelming traffic, and lack of housing supply in job-rich
areas. Therefore, the Committee encourages HUD to consult with
DOT and issue joint non-binding guidance outlining voluntary
best practices for land use policies to increase the supply of
affordable and market-rate housing. This guidance should
provide recommendations for local, regional, and state land use
agencies to improve their land use and zoning, such as
increasing density, reducing minimum lot sizes, creating by-
right development for multi-family homes, streamlining or
shortening the permitting processes, eliminating impact fees,
or allowing accessory dwelling units, in order to achieve
affordable, economically vital, and sustainable communities and
encourage efficient land use patterns. This guidance should
also focus on providing best practices to local land use
agencies and transit agencies who work together to promote
transit-oriented development, and should consider best
practices among urban, suburban, and rural communities. The
Committee urges the Departments to use all tools available to
encourage a ``complete streets''' approach to transportation
policy and design.
Building design.--Since World War II, the United States has
favored investment in virtual space over physical places,
individual autonomy over community, and globalization over
local prosperity. As a result, some cities are sprawling,
fragmented, carbon-producing, inequitable, unsustainable, and
disconnected, and prefer individual mobility over human
flourishing. Few buildings are carefully considered and those
that are tend to be for the wealthiest. The Committee
encourages design professionals, social scientists, health
experts, industry, academia, and the Federal government to
collaborate on mechanisms that promote cost-effective design
best practices. This partnership could yield walkable, mixed-
use, culturally rich, diverse, resilient, sustainable, healthy,
and vibrant communities that empower all people to have lives
of meaning and purpose. The Committee encourages HUD and DOT to
coordinate with programs focused on community and livability at
the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and
Human Services to establish a new framework for design and
building. HUD and DOT should convene a summit with other
agencies and outside leaders in planning, architecture, and
health to create a new framework for community livability, with
a focus on new concepts for design, funding, and partnerships
at the local and state levels.
Website modernization.--By law, all agency websites and
applications must be mobile device-friendly, consistent in
appearance, searchable, accessible to individuals with
disabilities, secure, and designed around user goals, needs,
and behaviors. The Committee reminds the agencies funded by
this Act of their obligation to comply with the 21st Century
Integrated Digital Experience Act (P.L. 115-336), especially
after the COVID-19 pandemic revealed the value and necessity of
reliable on-line information and transactions.

Cross-modal coordination for safety.--The Committee is
aware of a need for improved coordination among modes and the
important role it plays in safety oversight, especially where
there is an adoption of cross-modal technology that can
transform the transportation network. In addition to the work
of the Highly Automated Safety Systems Center of Excellence
(HASS-COE), the Committee directs the Secretary to establish a
Department-wide holistic approach to road safety in order to
ensure that agencies with responsibilities for road safety
coordinate their expertise, resources, and approach.
GAO reports on equity.--Inequitable access to
transportation in communities nationwide, particularly
historically marginalized communities, results in inequitable
access to jobs, health care, and educational opportunities.
Nationwide, different states and localities approach such
inequitable access in a variety of ways. Understanding the
differences in approach and outcomes is an important first step
to addressing inequality in transportation systems. As a
result, the Committee directs GAO to examine (1) policies and
procedures DOT has established to define and promote
transportation equity, including processes and outcomes from
surface transportation projects that have resulted in equitable
outcomes for disadvantaged groups or communities; (2) how DOT
incorporates equity into its considerations of distribution of
resources to states and other grantees; and (3) goals, targets
and metrics that DOT has established to measure transportation
equity and assess whether Federal surface transportation
funding has reduced disparities and improved transportation
equity.
In addition, the benefits and costs of many transportation
projects, including their proximity to affordable housing, are
usually determined by decisions made during state and local
planning processes. As result, by the time construction on a
transportation project begins, it is often too late to mitigate
any inequities that may result for affected communities. The
Committee directs GAO to examine how equity issues are
considered during the surface transportation planning process,
including (1) actions taken by states, local governments,
regional transportation planning agencies, and MPOs to identify
existing surface transportation disparities and steps taken to
address these disparities, (2) processes states, local
governments, regional transportation planning agencies, and
MPOs use to identify, collect, and integrate input about
proposed transportation projects from potentially affected
communities; (3) policies states, local governments, regional
transportation planning agencies, and MPOs have in place to
require amendments to proposed plans to address disparities and
issues related to inequities in communities potentially
affected by a plan; and (4) the extent to which DOT and HUD
coordinate on the planning of Federally-funded transportation
projects and affordable housing initiatives.
The Committee directs the GAO to design and initiate such
audits to fully address these issues, and to establish a
schedule for such reporting with Committee staff within 6
months of beginning the audits.
Open skies.--The Committee continues to urge the Department
to take steps to ensure that U.S. airline carriers and their
workers have a fair and equal opportunity to compete in
accordance with open skies agreements with foreign governments.
The Committee notes that DOT worked with the State Department
to reach recent memorandums of agreement with foreign
governments to ensure transparency, accountability, and
enforcement remain important tenets of open skies agreements.
The Committee directs the Department to continue to proactively
work with the State Department to take appropriate action with
any foreign governments where government subsidies have
resulted in market distortion. The Committee directs the
Department to provide regular updates to the Committee on their
activities related to the fair enforcement of open skies
agreements.
Transportation accessibility.--The Committee continues to
direct the Secretary of Transportation, in coordination with
the Administrators of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), to establish
mode-specific accessibility performance measures to be used by
states, metropolitan planning organizations, and transit
agencies to assess the degree to which the surface
transportation system, including public transportation,
provides transportation connections to economic opportunities,
including job concentration areas, health care services, child
care services, and education and workforce training services,
particularly for disadvantaged populations, and to publish its
final rule on such performance measures no later than one year
after enactment of this Act. The Committee recognizes the
ongoing work by DOT to improve accessibility and mobility
services and supports the goals of the Coordinating Council on
Access and Mobility (CCAM) within FTA.
Highway-rail grade crossing safety.--Highway-rail grade
crossing collisions are the second leading cause of all rail-
related fatalities in the United States. As noted throughout
this report, several operating administrations play a role in
addressing this important safety issue. The Committee
recommendation provides funding to assist states and
communities with improving highway-rail grade crossing safety
through the FHWA under section 130(e) of title 23, United
States Code, and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
through the consolidated rail infrastructure and safety
improvements and passenger rail improvement, modernization, and
expansion competitive grant programs. In addition, the
Committee recommendation supports the continuation of a public
education campaign by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration on highway-rail grade crossing safety and FRA's
efforts to gather and analyze data, improve outreach and
partnerships, assist communities in identifying Federal funding
opportunities, and conducting research and development.
Workforce development.--The Committee notes that in 2019,
GAO concluded that DOT lacked a strategic framework in its
workforce development plan. The lack of a strategic framework
has a damaging impact on the long-term adoption of electric
vehicle and alternative energy technologies. The committee also
notes GAO's conclusion that the Bureau of Labor Statistics does
not track occupational projections relating to public
transportation, which makes it difficult to understand changes
and emerging needs in this area. Emerging technologies have the
potential to revolutionize the market, but the workforce
transition, and the corresponding safety issues must be
identified and addressed across DOT's system architecture.
Within 120 days of enactment of this Act the agency shall
provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on the steps it is taking to address the
findings in GAO Report 19-290.
Infrastructure coordinator.--Mexico is the third largest
trading partner for the United States. The Committee continues
to support strengthening the coordination between DOT and other
relevant Federal agencies to improve freight infrastructure
development at the southwest border, which is critical to
maintaining this bilateral trade relationship. The Committee
commends DOT for designating the Office of International
Transportation and Trade (OITT) in OST to lead departmental
efforts to coordinate border transportation infrastructure
initiatives and projects with Mexico. The Committee directs
OITT to work with the General Services Administration (GSA),
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and other relevant
agencies to facilitate more efficient development of
infrastructure projects.
Ports of entry (POE).--The Committee directs DOT to
coordinate with the Office of Management and Budget, GSA, and
DHS, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection, regarding
its efforts in support of those entities in opening and closing
POEs that affect commercial motor vehicle traffic, including
providing sufficient time to plan for operational and staffing
changes. The Committee strongly encourages DOT to share
relevant information with these entities, when appropriate, and
to consider economic impacts, safety, and input from
stakeholders transporting commercial goods when making
operational changes to POEs. The Committee directs DOT to brief
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than
60 days after enactment of this Act on its efforts in this
regard.
Value capture.--The Committee is aware that both FTA and
FHWA have issued extensive guidance on value capture
techniques, the use of a portion of increased property values
created as a result of public infrastructure investment.
Because value capture strategies are usually part of a mixed
funding and financing package, the Committee believes that
value capture can be a tool for economic development and as a
non-Federal source of funding for transportation
infrastructure, such as transit and passenger rail projects.
The Committee encourages DOT to continue to support state and
local governments exploring the use of value capture
strategies.
Climate change and transportation.-- According to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the transportation sector
accounts for almost 30 percent of United States greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions. The Committee recognizes the urgent necessity
of reducing such emissions in order to mitigate the impacts of
global climate change. The Committee encourages DOT to
integrate considerations of climate impacts centrally into all
aspects of transportation planning and funding, including but
not limited to, innovative electric powered, zero-emissions
transit systems such as aerial gondolas and tramways,
monorails, and people movers, and, no later than 18 months
after enactment of this Act, directs the Secretary to submit to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a report
outlining DOT's plans to reduce GHG emissions in line with the
United States Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under
the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Distressed coal communities.--To diversify and enhance
economic opportunities, the Committee directs the Secretary to
prioritize discretionary funding to distressed counties within
the Central Appalachian region to help communities and regions
that have been affected by job losses in coal mining, coal
power plant operations, and coal-related supply chain
industries due to the economic downturn of the coal industry.
Nationally significant freight and highway (INFRA)
projects.--The Committee is concerned that the competitive
grant process for INFRA includes limited transparency into the
evaluation process. The Committee directs DOT, within 60 days
of announcing fiscal year 2022 INFRA awards, to offer briefings
to all applicants that did not receive an award in order to
explain the factors that negatively impacted the application
and to make recommendations for improving the application for
future grant rounds. Further, within 60 days of announcing
grant awards, DOT is directed to publish on its website a list
of all fiscal year 2022 applications received along with the
names of the applicant organizations and the funding amounts
requested. More transparency will allow sponsors to improve
applications in future competitions. Further, the Committee
encourages DOT to give priority consideration to projects which
address freight capacity on interstates where truck traffic is
growing at a faster pace than passenger vehicle traffic.
Coordination with the National Transportation Safety Board
(NTSB).--The Committee is pleased by the periodic and
productive meetings between the technical and managerial staff
of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and their
respective investigative NTSB offices regarding open NTSB
safety recommendations. These meetings are beneficial for
maintaining focus on developing and implementing effective
responses to these recommendations, especially the aviation,
highway, rail, and pipeline recommendations on the NTSB's Most
Wanted list. The Committee recognizes that most operating
administrations meet with the NTSB and encourages these same
operating administrations to form strong partnerships with the
NTSB in order to further DOT's primary mission of safety.
Green infrastructure for rail or multi-modal transportation
hubs.--The Committee encourages the Secretary to allow slow
green infrastructure on or near rail or multi-modal
transportation hubs to be eligible for Federal funding
administered by DOT. This includes, but is not limited to,
activities that would increase green space surrounding the
structure such as urban trees, vegetation, and enhanced
streetscapes, including energy-efficient lighting. These
elements not only provide opportunities to mitigate
transportation pollution, improve air quality, and control
storm water runoff but in some cases could also provide or
enhance the structure's security elements and help conserve and
reduce the structure's energy use. They also serve as a
welcoming component for passengers entering or exiting a rail
or multi-modal transportation hub.
Major metropolitan cities.--In certain cases, state and
regional transportation authorities are controlled by officials
with little or no connection to the major urban areas served by
their agencies or to the residents of the communities who are
directly affected by decisions made by such officials. This can
lead to inefficient and undesirable allocations of public
resources to the detriment of already marginalized communities.
The Committee looks forward to DOT's implementation of
Executive Order 13983: Advancing Racial Equity and Support for
Underserved Community Through the Federal Government.
Subsequently, within 180 days of such implementation, the
Committee directs the Secretary to report to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations on the benefits and
obstacles to making direct allocations of funds to major
metropolitan cities and local governments.
North-south four-lane highways.--The Committee encourages
DOT to work with states on projects to complete north-south
four-lane highways, especially in states with no existing
north-south four-lane highways and where there are significant
freight traffic and safety concerns.

PNT technologies.--The Committee welcomes the findings in
DOT's January 2021 ``Complementary PNT and GPS Backup
Technologies Demonstration Report'' and notes that the National
Timing Resilience and Security Act of 2018 (Section 514 of
Public Law 115-282) provides for multiple technologies and
solutions for GPS backup. To prepare for the implementation of
the technologies identified by DOT's report or others the
Department, in coordination with the Departments of Defense and
Homeland Security and the National Executive Committee for
Space-Based PNT, may subsequently determine are necessary, the
Committee directs DOT to develop system requirements for PNT
functions that support safety-critical services and to develop
standards, test procedures, and monitoring capabilities to
ensure that PNT services meet these safety and resilience
requirements. The Committee directs DOT to provide its plan to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on how it
will develop these requirements and standards and implement the
technologies within six months after enactment of this Act. The
Committee understands the need to develop complementary PNT
user adoption approaches, and therefore directs the Secretary
to report its findings and recommendations enabling GPS backup
and complementary PNT to the Committee within 180 days of
providing the requested implementation plan. Further, the
Committee provides up to $10,000,000 to assist DOT in carrying
out its recommendations.
The Committee also provides $7,000,000, for DOT to engage
in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) performance
monitoring and interference detection capability and to
implement Executive Order 13905 and GPS Signal Authentication.
Transportation Research Board (TRB) reports on equity.--The
Committee recommendation includes $3,000,000 for a series of
studies by the TRB of the National Academy of Sciences to
identify, assess, and develop metrics for measuring equity in
surface transportation with a particular focus on outcomes. The
Committee directs TRB to analyze current data and metrics on
equity to establish a baseline of currently available means for
measuring equity outcomes, which should be the subject of a
first report. Subsequently, the Committee directs TRB to study
opportunities to improve data and the use of such data for the
development of new metrics on equity and to make
recommendations on how those metrics can be integrated into the
transportation planning process. The study shall examine data
and metrics for measuring equity to address concerns such as
infrastructure barriers that cut off individuals and
communities from essential jobs and services (including those
services that are often rendered inadequate during natural and
man-made disasters) and that are needed for the development of
strategies to advance outcomes in economic and community
development in public transportation-dependent populations. The
study shall also consider new and innovative sources of data
and analytic methods for measuring equity for such
transportation planning and decision-making purposes.
University Transportation Centers (UTCs).--UTCs play a key
role in conducting research and development activities. The
Committee continues to support UTCs, which are authorized under
section 5505 of title 49, United States Code, and funded
through FHWA. In addition to the amounts provided under the
Investing in a New Vision for the Environment and Surface
Transportation (INVEST) in America Act (H.R. 3684), the
Committee provides $5,000,000 under this heading for the
National Institute for Congestion Reduction and the National
Center for Transportation Infrastructure and Durability and
Life-Extension for which the Committee provided funds in fiscal
year 2018. The Committee directs that of the amounts made
available under this heading, no more than $250,000 shall be
available for coordination, evaluation, and oversight in
addition to the amounts provided under 49 U.S.C. 5505(d)(3).
Consistent with the INVEST in America Act, the Committee
encourages the Department to solicit applications from UTCs
that promote safety and improve the environment with the goal
of improving outcomes on equity and resiliency. The goals of
equity and resiliency dovetail with research that could be
conducted at a UTC designed to serve as a clearinghouse for
pandemic related transportation research. In addition, the
Committee supports the establishment of a National Center of
Excellence for Rural Transportation under the auspices of the
UTC program at a university-based transportation research
institute with a history of conducting research on rural
transportation challenges and with relevant laboratories and
facilities necessary to conduct the research.
Bridge clearinghouse.--The Committee directs DOT to work
with relevant UTCs to implement an Accelerated Bridge
Technologies Clearinghouse to advance new and advanced
transportation infrastructure techniques and materials for new
innovations in bridge technology. The clearinghouse shall
provide a platform for bridge and structure stakeholders to
find technically robust and unbiased information and reports
that evaluate innovations while facilitating the acceptance and
implementation of new bridge and structure materials and
technologies. The Committee provides up to $10,000,000 under
this heading for such a clearinghouse.
Fair access to science and technology research.--The
Committee encourages DOT to continue its efforts towards
increasing public access to the results of Federally-funded
scientific research. In the fiscal year 2023 budget request,
the Committee directs the Department to include progress on the
plan published on December 16, 2015.
Modeling and simulation.--The Committee encourages the
Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology to support the
development of gaming, experimentation, modeling, and
simulation (GEMS) approaches to accelerate the design of
transportation systems, including but not limited to,
computational simulation, data analytics, and digital twins
technology, with the objective of improving safety, alleviating
congestion and shortening commute times, and enabling a more
efficient flow of commercial goods.
Highly Automated Safety Systems Center of Excellence (HASS
COE).--As automated systems and technologies become
increasingly widespread, the Committee continues to believe
that the safety of the traveling public jointly depends on
innovation by technology developers and owners and operators
coupled with appropriate Federal regulation and effective
oversight. The Committee appreciates the progress that the HASS
COE has made over the past year, including hiring a Director,
and advertising for a Deputy Director of Program Development
and Strategy and a Chief Scientist. However, the Committee is
unhappy that it has not received an overdue staffing plan for
which DOT was directed to provide not later than February 22,
2021, and directs DOT to provide the staffing plan to the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriation with all due speed.
The Committee looks forward to the HASS COE being fully
staffed and working to develop internal capacity within the
Department both by hiring outside staff and training staff
already at DOT. The Committee supports using all available
flexibilities to achieve the full-time, technical expertise
needed by the Department. Of the amounts provided under this
heading, the Committee provides $5,000,000 for the HASS COE.
Autonomous vehicles. (AV)--The Committee recognizes that
any amount of AV development and deployment will require DOT to
collaborate with private-industry and other academic
researchers to ensure the safety of the technology. Amounts
made available under this heading are available for the testing
of autonomous vehicles. In particular, the Committee is
concerned about testing that replicates the GNSS in dense urban
environments where the GNSS signal is often hampered by issues
of lines of sight, signal multipath, and signal interference,
severely disrupting AV operations. The Committee applauds the
collaboration between DOT and the military cyber center in
Augusta, Georgia, and encourages the continuation of this work
in order to design and develop a testing lab which allows the
government and industry developers to test hardware and
software in a way that mirrors the urban environment.
In addition, rural communities must not be left behind from
advancements in AVs. The Committee encourages DOT to
contemplate a hybrid approach to allowing business and
communities, including rural communities, to engage, prepare
for, and benefit from AV deployments. As part of the hybrid
approach, the Committee encourages DOT to focus on first and
last mile solutions by developing a regional demonstration
project designed to demonstrate automated driving system
feasibility that incorporates low speed AVs.
NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $1,000,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 1,000,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 1,200,000,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +200,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. +200,000,000
The national infrastructure investments program (also known
as RAISE and formerly known as both BUILD and TIGER) was
created in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (P.L.
111-5) to provide grants and credit assistance to state and
local governments, tribal governments, United States
territories, transit agencies, port authorities, metropolitan
planning organizations, or a combination of such entities to
improve the nation's transportation infrastructure. Eligible
projects include highways and bridges, public transportation,
freight and passenger rail, port infrastructure, and bicycle
and pedestrian improvements. The national infrastructure
investments program awards funds on a competitive basis to
projects that will have a significant local or regional impact.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $1,200,000,000 for
the national infrastructure investments program to support
multimodal, multijurisdictional transportation projects that
are more difficult to accomplish through traditional
transportation programs. Key tenets of this program include its
flexibility and the ability for any public entity to apply
directly and not through a state department of transportation.
RAISE also fosters collaboration and leverages non-Federal
investments from private, state, and local sources. The
Committee has consistently heard from communities large and
small on the difference RAISE grants have made in improving
safety, state of good repair, economic competitiveness,
environmental sustainability, and quality of life.
The Committee remains concerned that in the past several
years, DOT has moved away from the original intent of the
program to fund multi-modal projects and overemphasized funding
for road projects. The Committee directs DOT to restore the
emphasis on multi-modal, transformative projects that
facilitate competitiveness. To address the needs of these
projects and to restore the original intent of the program, the
Committee raises the maximum grant size to $100,000,000. The
Committee reiterates to DOT and to potential applicants that
RAISE grants support a broad variety of transportation projects
including, but not limited to, highway, bridge, and road
projects; public transportation projects; passenger and freight
rail projects including high speed rail projects; port
infrastructure improvements; intermodal projects, including
commercial, transit, and intermodal parking garages; bicycle
and pedestrian projects; multimodal infrastructure; and
infrastructure reuse projects.
Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).--The Committee
applauds DOT for revising the fiscal year 2021 NOFO to include
climate change, environmental justice, and racial equity within
the existing selection criteria. For fiscal year 2022, the
Committee directs the Secretary to consider the impact of a
project on improving racial and economic equity and reducing
GHG emissions, and directs the Secretary to prioritize such
projects in the distribution of funds.
Funding distribution.--The Committee directs DOT to strive
for an equitable distribution of funding amongst modes and to
give priority to multi-modal projects for which Federal funding
provides the marginal funding required to complete the project.
The Committee notes that investments in urban areas can provide
significant benefits to surrounding areas, including rural
areas. In distributing funds provided under this heading, the
Committee directs the Secretary to ensure an equitable
distribution of funds between urban and rural areas and amongst
transportation modes including public transit and passenger
rail.
Planning grants.--The Committee recognizes that planning
support can be critical for local communities seeking to make
investments in infrastructure, including transit and transit-
oriented development. As a result, the Committee provides
$40,000,000 for the planning, preparation or design of
projects. Of this amount, $20,000,000 is provided for any
eligible project located in or directly benefiting counties and
census tracts experiencing persistent poverty or any territory
or possession of the United States, $10,000,000 is provided for
small and mid-sized communities, and $10,000,000 is provided
for any area. The Committee directs that planning grants should
emphasize transit, transit-oriented development, and multimodal
projects.
Shared mobility operators.--The Committee notes that shared
mobility operators can be an important component of the
transportation network, especially for first and last mile
connections. The Committee encourages DOT to include their
operations as eligible for funding under a NOFO when the
operators partner with a grantee.
Critical infrastructure investments.--The Committee
encourages the Secretary to work with local governments to
identify needed investment in surface transportation projects
that will provide additional road capacity at congested or
dangerous intersections, especially involving rail lines.
THRIVING COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... - - -
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... $110,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 100,000,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +100,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. -10,000,000
The Thriving Communities Initiative identifies and provides
support for communities with persistent barriers that prevent
access to opportunities such as jobs, schools, and businesses.
The program provides technical assistance and planning grants
to improve access to opportunity through transportation
infrastructure improvements.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $100,000,000 for the
thriving communities initiative.
Thriving communities initiative.--The Committee recognizes
that historical and entrenched inequities have created a cycle
of disinvestment in communities across the country. Many of
these communities were once thriving and populated rural and
urban areas before the introduction of the Federal interstate
highway system, which undermined the economic stability, social
connections, and physical and geographic fabric of these areas,
disproportionately impacting communities of color. In effect,
people within these communities across generations have been
disproportionately impacted by highway traffic emissions,
pedestrian fatalities, lack of access to fresh food or health
care, struggling business corridors, and inadequate supply of
quality affordable housing. The Committee recognizes the need
for greater planning and capacity building to advance these
communities and the important role coordination at the Federal,
state, and local levels can play in nurturing thriving
communities. As a result, the Committee provides funding under
this heading for DOT, in collaboration with other agencies, to
facilitate community and regional planning efforts that
integrate housing and transportation with a focus on promoting
equity, environmental justice, and resilient infrastructure. In
addition, the Committee provides funding under Policy,
Development, and Research within the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) to support the thriving communities
program. The Committee directs DOT, to the extent possible, to
fund grants or cooperative agreements in a variety of
geographic areas, including urban and rural communities.
Federal agencies such as HUD, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), the EPA, the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), the Department of Education (ED), the
Department of Labor (DOL), and others all play key roles in
developing and sustaining thriving communities. However, it is
often difficult for local communities, especially lower-income
and disadvantaged communities, to leverage resources across
multiple Federal agencies and receive targeted, coordinated
technical assistance. As such, the Committee directs DOT to
work with HUD, USACE, EPA, HHS, ED, DOL, and any other Federal
agencies DOT deems appropriate to identify Federal resources
which could be leveraged by the thriving communities
initiative, improve cross-agency coordination with respect to
NOFOs, where appropriate, and to consider incentives for
potential applicants to plan for or execute Federal funding
comprehensively toward the goal of addressing persistent
barriers that prevent a community from thriving. The Committee
directs DOT to brief the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on its initial cross-agency engagement and
findings no later than 120 days after the enactment of this
Act.

The National Surface Transportation and Innovative Finance
Bureau (Bureau) is authorized under section 9001 of the Fixing
America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act (P.L. 114-94). The
Bureau administers and coordinates the Department's existing
transportation finance programs and INFRA competitive grant
program and provides technical assistance and outreach to
communities on financing and funding opportunities for
transportation infrastructure.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $13,800,000 for the
Bureau.
Planning grants to assist areas of persistent poverty.--The
Committee recognizes that planning support can be critical for
communities seeking to invest in transportation infrastructure.
Unfortunately, communities that lack the resources or expertise
to adequately plan for such investments experience greater
challenges in securing competitive grants to assist with
project construction. Therefore, the Committee provides
$10,000,000 for a new competitive grant program for planning
grants to assist areas of persistent poverty. These planning
grants would support pre-construction activities including
planning, engineering, design, environmental analysis,
feasibility studies, and finance plans for highway, bridge, or
road projects, bicycle and pedestrian projects, transit
projects, passenger and freight rail projects, port
infrastructure improvement projects, airport improvement
projects, and intermodal projects that are located in or
directly benefit counties and census tracts experiencing
persistent poverty or any territory or possession of the United
States.
RAILROAD REHABILITATION AND IMPROVEMENT FINANCING PROGRAM
The railroad rehabilitation and improvement financing
(RRIF) program was established in the Transportation Equity Act
for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-78) to provide direct loans and
loan guarantees to state and local governments, government-
sponsored entities, and railroads. Credit assistance under the
program may be used for rehabilitating or developing rail
equipment and facilities, developing or establishing intermodal
facilities, and transit-oriented development.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation allows the credit risk premium
for RRIF loans to be eligible for grants under the national
infrastructure investments program.
RRIF credit risk premium (CRP).--The Committee directs the
Department to expedite repayments for cohorts that have
satisfied the terms of their loan agreements, and to diligently
oversee the remaining cohort that has outstanding loans to
ensure borrowers who have repaid their loans are able to
receive their CRP once all loans have been satisfied.

The cyber security initiatives account is an effort to
close performance gaps in the DOT's cyber security. The account
includes support for essential program enhancements,
infrastructure improvements, and contractual resources to
enhance the security of the Department's computer network and
to reduce the risk of security breaches.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $39,400,000 to
provide the necessary resources for DOT to significantly
enhance its cybersecurity program and capabilities, as well as
to maintain existing cybersecurity capabilities and services.
The Committee is alarmed by the increases in cyberattacks
and recognizes the importance of DOT upgrading its systems. A
security breach at DOT could have devastating consequences for
commerce, aviation, or national security. As a result, the
Committee provides funds to support the implementation of key
cybersecurity initiatives and to improve DOT's overall
cybersecurity risk management, oversight and compliance,
identity, credentialing and access management, and enterprise
cybersecurity functions.

Federal Aviation Administration
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible
for the safety of civil aviation, navigation and surveillance,
and airports. The Federal government's regulatory role in civil
aviation dates back to 1926. When the Department of
Transportation began its operations in 1967, the FAA became one
of several modal administrations within the Department. The
FAA's mission expanded in 1995 with the transfer of the Office
of Commercial Space Transportation from the Office of the
Secretary and contracted in December 2001 with the transfer of
civil aviation security activities to the Transportation
Security Administration.
Next Generation of Air Traffic Control (NextGen).--The
Committee places a high priority on NextGen programs and
provides resources in the operations, facilities and equipment,
and research, engineering, and development accounts to
modernize air traffic control along with private sector
stakeholders.
NextGen Advisory Committee (NAC).--The NAC includes an
appropriate mix of the aviation community, including
representatives from general aviation, commercial aviation,
labor organizations, airports, local community representatives,
and the Federal government. The Committee supports the current
diverse NAC membership and believes that the NAC performs an
important role in setting priorities for the FAA's air traffic
control modernization efforts. The Committee encourages the FAA
to implement NAC recommendations and directs the FAA to provide

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aviation safety.--Safety is required of every product,
process, and person, including passengers, in the national
airspace system. Every achievement in aircraft design,
manufacturing, and maintenance; airport operations; and air
traffic control should be managed and measured in terms of
safety without commercial advantage to any manufacturer,
operator, technology, or airport. The Committee continues to
support a systems and interdisciplinary approach to aviation
safety to identify the root causes, circumstances, and
conditions that increase the likelihood of human error and to
minimize the frequency and impact of human error.
Consistent with the request, the Committee provides an
increase of $57,239,000 within the Operations account. This is
the third increase in a series of investments to review and
respond to the numerous recommendations made by multiple safety
oversight entities that completed or have yet to complete their
review or investigation of the 737 MAX accidents or the
aircraft certification process in general.
A significant amount of this funding increase is dedicated
to numerous initiatives to enhance aviation safety and
oversight, including the hiring of inspectors, engineers, human
factors specialists, and software and cybersecurity experts,
among others, in Aircraft Certification (AIR) and Flight
Standards (AFS). In making these new hires, the Committee
reminds the FAA to seek highly specialized candidates who are
motivated by the FAA's mission, appreciate the non-pecuniary
benefits of public service, and have great intellectual
curiosity about the fast-changing nature of aviation
technology. With a more expansive Aviation Safety (AVS)
workforce, the FAA can make full use of the Aircraft Evaluation
Group to provide an operational perspective to engineering in
the aircraft certification process, operationalize the
Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) Office to
standardize the oversight of ODA unit members, and promulgate
statutorily required regulations on safety management systems.
In addition to hiring, the FAA can augment its workforce
with cost-effective on-line and classroom training, as
appropriate. Within the funds for AVS and in accordance with
the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act
(P.L. 116-260), amounts are available for engineers,
inspectors, and other subject matter experts to continue
developing their knowledge of new and emerging technologies in
systems design, flight controls, principles of aviation safety,
system oversight, and certification project management.
In the aviation safety workplan required by the bill, the
Committee directs the FAA to include the actual and estimated
number of attrition of AVS employees by job series from 2011 to
2026 and its plans for implementing the two recommendations
made in GAO-21-94 in the context of carrying out the mandates
in the Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act
(P.L. 116-260).
The Committee directs the FAA to provide quarterly progress
reports to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on
its action plan in response to the recommendations of the NTSB,
the DOT Special Committee to Review FAA's Aircraft
Certification Process, the Joint Authorities Technical Review,
and the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee.
In order to be a global leader in aviation safety, the FAA
actively participates in and supports the International Civil
Aviation Organization at its headquarters in Montreal, Canada
and regional offices around the world. The FAA also has small
number of employees stationed overseas to engage and advise
foreign civil aviation authorities on aviation standards,
safety, and policies. The Committee recognizes the importance
of these bilateral and multilateral relationships and
especially encourages the FAA to work with countries that do
not meet the criteria of the International Aviation Safety
Assessment program.
Authorization acts.--The Committee directs the FAA to
submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on March 2, 2022, and September 8, 2022, on the
status of implementation of the provisions in the FAA
Reauthorization Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-254) and the Aircraft
Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act (P.L. 116-260),
including a list of all mandates and associated deadlines, the
primary office responsible for executing each mandate, and
actions taken to date on implementing each mandate.
Central Appalachia.--The Committee again requests the FAA
to review air navigation needs in Central Appalachia and the
potential benefits of transponder landing system, or similar
technologies to enhance safety and efficiency in the region.
Cockpit voice and flight data recorder regulations.--The
Committee is concerned that the FAA has not updated Federal
Aviation Regulations (FARs) for cockpit voice and flight data
recorders (CV/FDRs) as directed in the Transportation, Housing
and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act,
2018 (P.L. 115-141). This is a problem that has remained
unresolved for far too long, and the complete and timely
recovery of CV/FDRs is essential in determining the cause of
commercial aviation accidents in a timely manner. The Committee
continues to be interested in advanced technologies that enable
the complete and rapid recovery of CV/FDR data without an
underwater search and recovery effort, including automatic
deployable flight recorders. The Committee understands that
acceptable technologies exist that meet International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements, but that the
corresponding CV/FDRs have not been harmonized to allow their
use, resulting in uncertain certification and installation
requirements for aircraft manufacturers and airlines wishing to
voluntarily install such technologies. The Committee directs
the FAA to formally update all FARs and any other necessary
U.S. regulations to enable the voluntary installation and
certification of FAA approved technologies in compliance with
U.S. and international standards for commercial aircraft by not
later than June 1, 2023.
Commercial tour flights.--The Committee looks forward to
the FAA's report as required by the Consolidated Appropriations
Act of 2021 (P.L. 116-260) on its responses to the NTSB on
safety recommendations regarding commercial air tour flights
flying under 14 C.F.R. Pt. 91 and Pt. 135, including what
action the FAA has taken on each recommendation and why or why
none was taken.
Community engagement and noise.--The Committee recognizes
the need for a higher caliber of transparency and participation
in discussions about airport and aircraft noise, as evidenced
by the multiple lawsuits brought on by metroplex projects.
Conversations between the FAA and community residents alone are
wholly inadequate. Airports, airlines, pilots, state and local
officials, residential developers, and real estate agents also
bear some responsibility for preventing and resolving community
noise concerns, such as compatible land use, construction
methods and materials for noise reduction, disclosure of
existing and future noise issues, voluntary noise abatement
operating procedures, and equitable enforcement of noise
ordinances. The FAA may not have jurisdiction over all these
matters, but it does have the ability to convene and the
technical capability to collect, analyze, and distribute
information about civil aviation activity. The Committee
encourages the FAA, when appropriate, to invite Federal
agencies that operate military, law enforcement, or rescue
aircraft, such as the Departments of Defense and Homeland
Security, to participate in community noise events.
In furtherance of this goal, the Committee provides an
increase of not less than $8,000,000 in the Operations account
to support regular engagement with communities affected by
noise. These funds are primarily to be used to provide on-line,
real-time, authoritative information to the public about
airport operations and aircraft position and altitude, respond
to questions and complaints from public, make aggregated
information from the FAA noise portal available to the public,
and ensure FAA participation and technical analysis at
roundtables, workshops, and other public forums about noise.
After publishing the results of a nationwide survey on
aircraft noise annoyance, the FAA is undertaking a
comprehensive noise policy review which includes, but is not
limited, to a reexamination of noise metrics. The Committee is
pleased that the FAA is challenging its own long-held beliefs
about noise, including whether the day-night average sound
level (DNL) is the appropriate metric and whether 65 decibels
(dB) is the appropriate threshold for noise tolerance. Since
the regulation of noise is rooted in the National Environmental
Protection Act, the Committee directs the FAA to consult with
the Federal Interagency Committee on Aviation Noise and the
Council on Environmental Quality on the implications that this
noise policy review may have on fields and industries outside
of aviation. The Committee further directs the FAA to provide
an update on the noise policy review process, participants, and
timetable not less than 90 days after the date of enactment of
this Act.
The Committee looks forward to the report on activities
undertaken by the Regional Ombudsmen, who serve as the regional
liaison on issues regarding aircraft noise, pollution, and
safety, as required by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of
2021 (P.L. 116-260).
The Committee appreciates the GAO's report on helicopter
noise (GAO-21-200) in Washington, D.C. and is pleased that the
FAA agrees with the GAO's recommendation that it needs to
consistently and fully share noise complaints with helicopter
operators and pilots and that they, in turn, need to share the
same with the FAA in order to develop an effective strategy to
address these complaints. The Committee directs the FAA to
provide progress reports to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on the implementation of this recommendation and
to consider its application nationwide.
Contract tower program.--The Committee recommendation
includes $178,000,000 for the contract tower program, including
the contract tower cost share program. The Committee continues
to strongly support the FAA contract tower program as a cost-
effective and efficient way to provide air traffic control
services to smaller airports across the country. The Committee
expects the FAA to continue to operate the 258 contract towers
currently in the program, annualize funding for towers that
will be added in 2021, and provide full-year funding for new
airports expected to be added to the program in fiscal year
2022.
FAA organization chart.--To understand how the FAA's
organizational structure reflects its strategic and performance
goals, the Committee directs the FAA to submit to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations accurate and comprehensive
organizational charts of each service, division, and office not
later than December 1, 2021. In addition, the FAA shall submit
a business case for each organizational chart that outlines its
function, statutory authority, chain of command, span of
control, and interdependencies.
Fuel dumping.--The Committee reiterates its concern over
the fuel dump that occurred over Los Angeles on January 14,
2020, and reminds the FAA that it is overdue in submitting a
report on the annual occurrences of fuel dumps in the U.S. over
the fiscal year 2015-2020 period, including the location of the
fuel dumps, the amount of fuel dumped, the population density
of the community over which the fuel dump location occurred, if
the fuel dump occurred over land, and the FAA's process for
reviewing fuel dumps.
Human Intervention Motivation Study (HIMS) and the Flight
Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program (FADAP).--The Committee
recognizes the effectiveness of the HIMS and the FADAP in
mitigating drug and alcohol misuse through a peer
identification and intervention program. The Committee
recommends that the FAA continue to prioritize this program and
urges the FAA to continue this program from within available
resources.
Lunar exploration.--The Committee notes the possible value
of using the payload and lifting capabilities of the Space
Launch System and encourages the FAA to continue to facilitate
lunar exploration and development.
Pilot records database (PRD).--The Committee welcomes the
final PRD rule as mandated by the Airline Safety and Federal
Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-216,
section 203). The final rule (86 FR 31006) requires air
carriers and certain other operators to report current and
historical employment records of pilots and then to evaluate
these employment records, combined with FAA and other records,
before an individual may serve as a pilot.
Workforce diversity and training.--To further the goal of
workforce diversity, $7,500,000 of the amounts provided for
staff offices is for the Minority Serving Institutions (MSI)
internship program, which provides students from Historically
Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions,
students attending a college or university with a high
percentage of Asian American and Pacific Islanders, Tribal
Colleges and Universities, and Students with Disabilities the
opportunity to participate in internship opportunities. Not
later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
the FAA shall submit a report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations on the fiscal year 2019 through
2021 activities of the MSI program, including the number of
student participants by type of institution, by FAA line of
business and location, the stipend and non-stipend expenses
directly and indirectly supporting the program, and a
description of recruitment and post-program completion
activities.
The Committee appreciates the FAA's many efforts to
increase its own workforce diversity and that of the aviation
industry at large and looks forward to the briefing required by
the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (P.L. 116-260) on
how these efforts are coordinated and evaluated, which offices
and executives are involved, and the contributions made by the
eight officially recognized employee associations. The
Committee directs the Administrator to ensure the availability
of funds to support the FAA's diversity and inclusion programs,
Aviation Workforce Steering Committee, and Women in Aviation
Advisory Board and to continue engagement with the eight
officially recognized employee associations. The Committee
directs the FAA to provide the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations with quarterly staffing data, including hiring
and separations, by program office for all positions funded by
this Act.
Unfinished rulemakings.--The Committee notes that the FAA
has not met the statutory deadlines to comply with section 336
of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-254), which
requires the FAA to issue an order for ``secondary cockpit
barrier on each new aircraft''; section 308 of the FAA
Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (P.L. 112-95), which
requires the FAA to issue a rule related to alcohol and
controlled substances testing of persons that perform safety-
sensitive maintenance functions on commercial air carrier
aircraft; and section 335(a) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of
2018 (P.L. 115-254), which requires the FAA to update a rule
related to flight attendant duty period limitations and rest
requirements. The Committee directs the FAA to report every 30
days after the date of enactment of this Act to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations, the House Committee on
Transportation and Infrastructure, and the Senate Committee on
Commerce, Science, and Transportation on actions taken and
planned to promulgate final rules on these matters.
Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).--The diversity of the UAS
industry, the variety of its operational needs, and the wide
array of safety risks and public concerns, such as noise and
privacy, with each type of operation necessitates significant
research and coordination within and outside of the FAA. To
support the safe and secure integration of UAS into the NAS,
the recommendation includes not less than $173 million, in
total, among the FAA's appropriations accounts.
On June 8, 2021, the FAA approved the creation of an
aviation rulemaking committee (ARC) to help develop a
regulatory path for routine beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS)
operations. The ARC currently plans to submit its final report
to the FAA by November 30, 2021. The Committee directs the FAA
to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on
the actions that it will take in response to the ARC's
recommendations not less than 120 days after the day that the
FAA receives the ARC's report. The Committee strongly
encourages the FAA to complete BVLOS rulemakings by December
2023. In normalizing BVLOS operations, the FAA's rulemakings
should meet the public's safety expectations, align
responsibility with industry capabilities, apply existing
regulatory concepts where appropriate, incorporate lessons
learned from Partnership for Safety Plan and BEYOND programs,
and standardize where possible.
In the meantime, the Committee looks forward to the report
required by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (P.L.
116-260) on how the FAA will address a number of complex safety
concerns prior to allowing for BVLOS and directs the FAA to
ensure the Part 107 waiver process addresses the needs of first
responders.
FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $3,015,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 3,410,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 3,416,000,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +401,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. +6,000,000
The Facilities and Equipment (F&E) account is the principal
means for modernizing and improving air traffic control and
airway facilities. The appropriation also finances major
capital investments required by other agency programs,
experimental research and development facilities, and other
improvements to enhance the safety and capacity of the airspace
system.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Condition of FAA facilities and equipment.--The essential
tools of air traffic control are FAA-owned facilities and
equipment. The Committee appreciates the Air Traffic Facilities
and Engineering Services for keeping these tools in working
order, but is concerned about the $5.1 billion maintenance
backlog reported in the budget request. The Committee directs
the FAA to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees
on Appropriations not later than 60 days after the date of
enactment of this Act on the annual maintenance cost, the
accumulated maintenance backlog and processes used to report,
prioritize, and budget for maintenance.
To ensure the safety of airport employees, passengers, and
the aviation community, the FAA conducts an annual assessment
of air traffic control towers across the country, weighing not
only the tower's physical condition, but also the tower's
effect on airport operations and incidents. The Committee
supports the FAA's reporting and ranking systems and strongly
recommends that the FAA also collect and consider the input of
local airport directors and air traffic controllers since they
have a first-hand and intimate understanding of airport
operations and incidents.
Lighting and landing portfolio.--The Committee supports the
FAA's effort to replace visual aids systems that utilize
incandescent bulbs with light emitting diode that reduce energy
usage and includes not less than $15,000,000 for the
procurement, installation, and commissioning of precision
approach path indicators.
Navigational aids monitoring equipment.--The Committee
directs the FAA to make funding available to maintain and
operate integrated control and monitoring systems until such
time as these systems are replaced.
Remote telecommunications infrastructure replacement.--To
address time division multiplexing discontinuance, the
recommendation includes $17,200,000 under this heading and an
additional $21,441,000 under the Operations account.
Remote towers.--Consistent with section 161 of the FAA
Reauthorization Act of 2018, the Committee encourages the FAA
to use remote tower technology as a means to enhance safety,
reduce costs, and expand air traffic control services at rural
and small community airports. The FAA anticipates completing
the specifications for the certification of a remote tower by
the end of calendar year 2021; the FAA is directed to report to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations about any
delays in meeting this deadline as soon as they become known.
Issuance of the certification will depend on the strength of
the application, quality of data presented, and the safety
benefit provided.

This appropriation provides funding for long-term research,
engineering, and development programs to improve the air
traffic control system and to raise the level of aviation
safety, as authorized by the Airport and Airway Improvement Act
and the Federal Aviation Act. The appropriation also finances
the research, engineering, and development needed to establish
or modify federal air regulations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Aviation climate and noise research.--The Committee
supports the FAA's research to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
from aviation and strongly encourages the FAA to coordinate its
activities with other Federal agencies. The recommendation
provides $50,000,000 for this endeavor across multiple existing
research programs that strive to advance, among other things,
the screening and testing of alternative and sustainable
aviation fuels, the development of electric and hybrid-electric
propulsion technology, and the design of engine and airframe
efficiency to reduce the environmental impact of aviation noise
and emissions.
The recommendation provides $35,336,000 for Environment and
Energy, of which not less than $30,00,000 is for the Center of
Excellence for Alternative Jet Fuels and Environment (ASCENT)
to analyze, model, and measure technologies capable of reducing
noise, improving air quality, increasing energy efficiency, and
producing sustainable aviation fuels at commercial scale. Of
these funds, not less than $2,000,000 is for the study of the
impacts of aviation noise on community annoyance, sleep,
health, and children's learning. The Committee appreciates that
the FAA completed its evaluation of alternative airplane noise
metrics and has awarded a grant to the FAA's Air Transportation
Center of Excellence for Alternative Jet Fuels and Environment
in April 2019 in order to study the health impacts of noise
from overflights in accordance with sections 173 and 189 of the
FAA Reauthorization Act (P.L. 115-254). Research on the health
effects of aircraft noise in the United States is lagging.
Studies on sleep disturbances due to a range of noise exposure
would be informative for airport and flight operations.
The recommendation provides $58,476,000 for NextGen-
Environmental Research-Aircraft Technologies and Fuels, of
which $46,000,000 is to support the Continuous Lower Energy,
Emissions, and Noise (CLEEN) program to reduce noise and
emissions at its source--the aircraft engine. The Committee is
pleased that the CLEEN program is adding reducing community
noise exposure and particulate matter emissions to its goals.
Aviation professionals.--The Committee supports increasing
the strength and number of aviation professionals who are well-
trained and can be relied upon to make air travel safe and
efficient. To that end, the Committee provides $5,000,000 for
the aviation maintenance technician development program and
$5,000,000 for aviation workforce development program in
accordance with section 625 of the FAA Reauthorization Act
(P.L. 115-254).
Crew complements.--The presence of two well-trained,
qualified pilots in commercial aircraft is another example of
safety through redundancy. Funding made available in this Act
to study alternative crew complements for flight decks in
commercial operations should prioritize the safety effects
relative to two-person flights. This direction is not intended
to limit the FAA's research and development activities related
to unmanned aerial vehicles.
Emissions reduction plan.--The FAA anticipates revising its
United States Aviation Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Plan
in support of achieving net-zero emissions, economy-wide by
2050. The Committee believes such a plan must be comprehensive
(addressing airframe design, engine technology, operational
improvements through the NextGen program, and alternative
fuels), actionable (resulting in specific policies, standards,
measures, and timetables), and defensible (based on peer-
reviewed quantitative analysis and modeling). The Committee
directs the FAA to brief the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on its framework for revising the plan not later
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
Fire research and safety.--The Committee values the FAA's
work on aircraft fire safety research to prevent accidents
caused by in-flight fires and to improve survivability in post-
crash fires. Among this research is testing to support the
development of standards for new fire detection technology and
suppression agents and fire-safety materials.
Ice.--Aircraft icing continues to be one of the major
safety threats to aircraft operations, both in flight and on
the ground. The Committee provides $6,426,000 for aircraft
icing research for the FAA to deepen its understanding of the
effectiveness of ice protection and detection systems on
aircraft operations under different atmospheric and climate
conditions and to address the emerging issue of ice and UAS
operations.
UAS research.--The Committee supports the safe integration
of UAS into the national airspace system, including the
continued development of a low-altitude UAS traffic management
(UTM) system and low altitude authorization and notification
capability (LAANC) program. The Committee provides $14,035,000
for the Center of Excellence for UAS Research.
Supersonic aircraft.--The Committee encourages the FAA to
continues its research, rulemaking, and international
engagement activities related to supersonic aircraft, including
developing noise and emissions standards. Certification will
ultimately depend on safety, but should also be informed by
acoustical modeling, health effects on persons and animals,
pollutants in the stratosphere, and the interdependency among
noise, emissions, and fuel.
Structural safety.--With the current and forecasted use of
advanced material growing, the Committee supports the FAA's
research, primarily through the Joint Centers of Excellence for
Advance Materials and Structures (JAMS), to ensure the safety
of aircraft made of advanced materials. This research
contributes to the FAA's ability to provide consistent guidance
to industry for compliance with certification requirements and
to evaluate test and analysis procedures used by industry to
comply with crashworthiness regulations.
Test environments.--The Committee reminds the FAA that
interested state aviation departments, universities, UAS
centers, test complexes and relevant industry stakeholders can
be valuable partners to demonstrate the operational
requirements for remote towers, unmanned and manned aerial
vehicles, urban air mobility flight and electric vertical
takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles between multiple airports
in order to measure community acceptance and to identify
training requirements for the controller, technician and pilot
workforces to safely operate and integrate these vehicles and
systems into the NAS. Research should be conducted at a variety
of places that offer different air traffic operating
environments, weather conditions, runway configurations, and
terrains to assess their impact on operations.

This funding provides grants for airport planning and
development, noise compatibility and planning, the military
airport programs, reliever airports, airport program
administration, and other authorized activities.
In addition, the Coronavirus Response and Relief
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) and the
American Rescue Plan Act, 2021 (P.L. 117-2) included
$2,000,000,000 and $8,000,000,000, respectively, for the
Airport Improvement Program to prevent, prepare for, and
respond to COVID-19.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Airport technology research.--The Committee recommendation
includes not less than $40,961,000 for the FAA's airport
technology research program to conduct research on topics such
as concrete and asphalt airport pavement in accordance with
section 744 of the FAA Reauthorization Act (P.L. 115-254);
airport marking and lighting; airport rescue and firefighting;
airport planning and design; wildlife hazard mitigation; and
visual guidance.
Airport vehicles.--The Committee directs the FAA to promote
both the Airport Zero Emissions Vehicle and Infrastructure
Pilot Program and the Voluntary Airport Low Emissions Program
as opportunities for airports to meet their obligations under
the Clean Air Act.
Foreign object debris (FOD).--FOD is any object located at
the airport that has the potential to injure airport or air
carrier personnel and damage aircraft. The FAA requires
airports with air carrier service to conduct safety
inspections, which includes FOD detection and removal. FOD
hazards can be reduced through the implementation of a FOD
management program (FAA Advisory Circular 150/5210-24). In
2017, the TRB conducted a survey on airport FOD practices and
found that FOD management programs are commensurate with the
complexity of the airport, most airports rely on visual
searches for FOD detection and mechanical equipment for FOD
removal, and few airports use some sort of technology or
equipment for detecting FOD, but that most airports would like
a better structured FOD management program and to acquire more
technology for FOD detection (Airport Cooperative Research
Program Synthesis 26). To that end, the Committee directs the
FAA Office of Airport Safety and Standards to engage with
airports about the cost-benefit of FOD detection technology,
the eligible use of the airport improvement and passenger
facility charge programs of such technology, and best practices
for FOD management programs. The FAA should prioritize its
engagement with airports based on the number, frequency, and
severity of FOD incidents; operational complexity; and analysis
of documented FOD sources, amounts, materials, locations, and
time of day. The Committee further directs the FAA to report to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the
implementation of this directive not later than 180 days after
the date of enactment of this Act.
Sound insulation.--The Committee is pleased that the FAA
considers residences that were mitigated prior to 1993 with
sound insulation as ``unmitigated'' if an airport can verify
that the residences continue to fall within the latest DNL 65
dB contour, and have an interior noise level of DNL 45 dB or
higher. The Committee directs the FAA to continue its outreach
efforts to airports of this eligible use of AIP funding. For
residences that do not meet the criteria for the AIP sound
insulation program, the FAA and airports should seek assistance
from other Federal agencies and programs, such as HUD's Healthy
Homes program which makes grants to non-profits and state and
local governments for identifying and correcting residential
health and safety hazards. Among these hazards are mold, noise,
and pests.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation includes $400,000,000 in
discretionary funding, which is available for community
projects in accordance with the table at the end of this report
and for additional grants for airport infrastructure.
Prioritization for additional grants for airport
infrastructure.-- Section 47115(j)(3)(B) of title 49, United
States Code, requires that not less than 50 percent of the
funds made available under this heading shall be for grants at
nonhub, small hub, reliever, and nonprimary airports. The
Committee directs the FAA to restrict this set-aside to 50
percent and to use the remaining funds for grants at medium hub
and large hub airports.
In addition, the Committee directs the FAA to provide
priority consideration for grant applications that complete
previously awarded discretionary grant projects, and to provide
priority consideration based on project justification and
completeness of pre-grant actions.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION

Airports'' account to reimburse airports affected by temporary
flight restrictions for residences of the President.
Federal Highway Administration
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) provides
financial assistance to the states to construct and improve
roads and highways. It also provides technical assistance to
other agencies and organizations involved in road building
activities. Title 23 of the United States Code and other
supporting statutes provide authority for the activities of
FHWA. Funding is provided by contract authority, while program
levels are established by annual limitations on obligations, as
set forth in appropriations Acts.

the Federal-aid highway program, highway-related research, and
most other Federal highway programs.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends a limitation on FHWA
administrative expenses of $492,000,000, including $3,248,000
to be transferred to the Appalachian Regional Commission.
Implementation of the Native American Tourism Improving
Visitor Experience (NATIVE) Act.--The Committee recognizes the
importance of cross agency coordination in delivering
multisector solutions to tribal communities and encourages the
Department to work with the Department of Interior and
implement the requirements of the NATIVE Act (P.L. 114-221).

Budget request, fiscal year 2022...... +14,778,010,951
*These amounts do not include $739,000,000 of contract authority exempt
from the limitation on obligations. As a result, the total program
level for fiscal year 2021 was $47,104,092,000. The total recommended
program level for fiscal year 2022 is $61,882,102,951.
The Federal-aid highways program is funded by contract
authority, and liquidating cash appropriations are subsequently
provided to fund resulting outlays. The Committee sets, through
the annual appropriations process, an overall limitation on the
total contract authority that can be obligated under the
program in a given year. Programs included within the Federal-
aid highways program are financed from the Highway Trust Fund.
Federal-aid highways and bridges are managed through a
Federal-state partnership. States and localities maintain
ownership of and responsibility for the maintenance, repair,
and new construction of roads. State highway departments have
the authority to initiate Federal-aid projects, subject to FHWA
approval of the plans, specifications, and cost estimates. The
Federal government provides financial support, on a
reimbursable basis, for construction and repair through
matching grants.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Consistent with the amounts authorized in the INVEST in
America Act, the Committee recommends a total program level of
$61,882,102,951 for the regular Federal-aid highway program in
fiscal year 2022. Included within the recommended amount is an
obligation limitation of $61,143,102,951 and $739,000,000 in
contract authority that is exempt from the obligation
limitation.
Bridges with impacts to protected species under the
Endangered Species Act.--The Committee directs FHWA to give
priority consideration to projects that make improvements to
bridges with significant impacts to species listed under the
Endangered Species Act to mitigate those impacts. The Committee
directs the Department to provide a report to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations not later than 270 days
after enactment of this Act on how FHWA is making its selection
of bridge improvements to address endangered species.
Truck size and weight.--In fiscal year 2020, the Committee
directed the Department to expeditiously develop an
implementation plan, including projected timelines, for
conducting the research outlined in the Transportation Research
Board's Truck Size and Weight Research Plan, which outlines
numerous projects that are essential to understanding the
impacts of different truck configurations on driver safety, the
service life and deterioration rates of bridges, and the
condition of pavement, as well as potential impacts of such
changes on the long-term solvency of the Highway Trust Fund.
The Committee notes that it has not yet received the
implementation plan required by Congress in fiscal year 2020
and directs FHWA to brief the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on its progress to finalize the implementation
plan within 30 days of enactment of this Act. The results of
this research should be considered by the Department and
Congress before any national changes in truck length or weight
policy are considered.
Structurally deficient bridges.--The Committee is concerned
with the large number of structurally deficient bridges in the
United States. DOT's June 2015 Comprehensive Truck Size and
Weight Technical Reports Summary found that 4,845 bridges would
need to be strengthened or replaced to handle additional stress
if Federal truck weights were increased to 91,000 pounds. The
Committee is concerned that Federal policies, including the
consideration of increased Federal truck weights, may result in
greater funding needs that the Highway Trust Fund will be
unable to sustain. The Committee directs DOT, as part of this
implementation plan, to provide consideration of the repair of
structurally deficient bridges.
Permeable pavements.--The Committee continues to encourage
the Secretary to accelerate research, demonstration, and
deployment of permeable pavements to achieve flood mitigation,
pollutant reduction, stormwater runoff reduction, environmental
conservation, and resilience for new road construction and
retrofit of existing roads. The Committee encourages the
Secretary to conduct structural evaluations of flood-damaged
pavements, with emphasis on local roads and highways subject to
flooding and extended periods of inundation, to understand the
mechanisms of flood damage and how permeable pavements might be
used to prevent or reduce damage from future flooding.
Furthermore, the Secretary is encouraged to work with the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as both agencies are
also doing work in the area of permeable pavements and a cross-
agency collaboration may yield more innovation. As such, the
Committee directs the Department to submit a report within 240
days of enactment of this Act to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations detailing current efforts,
utilization, and research within FHWA and efforts made with
FEMA and EPA.
Material neutrality.--The Committee supports the
Department's work to promote research, development, and
deployment of building solutions that advance the performance,
sustainability, reliability, and resiliency of building
materials. The Committee encourages the Department to support
material neutral decisions that do not promote or provide
preference for specific building materials. The Committee
believes that Federal resources are best utilized when all
materials are able to compete on their own merits, allowing for
the best solutions to address our infrastructure challenges.
Aggregates sustainability.--Aggregates are essential to the
construction of highways, bridges, tunnels, and all types of
public works projects and sustainable access to these materials
is crucial in reducing costs, congestion, and emissions. The
Department is directed to continue working with U.S. Geological
Survey and stakeholders to ensure information on the
availability of aggregates meets the nation's infrastructure
needs. The Department is directed to provide a report to the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 days
of enactment of this Act on how it can best address the
challenge of the lack of sustainable aggregates resources in
communities across the nation. The Department is encouraged to
work with relevant Federal agencies, state, tribal, and local
transportation and planning agencies to further these efforts.
Safe systems.--More than 36,000 Americans are killed each
year in traffic crashes, and road traffic crashes are the
world's leading cause of death for children and young adults 5-
29 years of age. The Committee remains concerned by the
staggering number of pedestrian fatalities each year involving
vehicles and is aware that an increasing number of
municipalities are developing plans to significantly reduce
incidences. The Committee supports the critical work that FHWA
is doing to define, support, and encourage adoption of a safe
systems approach to reduce and eventually eliminate fatalities
and serious injuries on our nation's roadways. The Committee
directs FHWA to continue to work with the Road to Zero
Coalition and other safety stakeholders to accelerate adoption
of a safe systems approach by state and local transportation
agencies. As part of establishing safe systems, cities
nationwide are developing interagency Vision Zero plans to
connect engineering, education, and enforcement with the goal
of ending transportation deaths and serious injuries. The
Committee directs FHWA to work with state and local
stakeholders to facilitate the implementation their Vision Zero
plans and strategies.
Complete streets.--The Committee is concerned about recent
increases in cyclist and pedestrian fatalities and encourages
the adoption of a complete streets design model in which roads
and streets are designed and operated to enable safe access for
all users, including but not limited to pedestrians,
bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders across a broad
spectrum of ages and abilities. To lay the groundwork for the
adoption of a complete streets design model, House Report 116-
452 required FHWA to review its current policies, rules, and
procedures to determine their impact on safety for road users,
particularly those outside automobiles. The Committee looks
forward to receiving this report, and appreciates the
Secretary's commitment to a complete streets approach. The
Committee continues to direct the Department to disseminate
best practices for complete streets to state and local highway
partners.
Safe routes to schools.--The Committee recognizes the
important role infrastructure investments, education, and
enforcement efforts can have in ensuring safe access to
schools. Investments in sidewalks, bike paths, and alternative
transportation have proven to increase safety and decrease the
number of deaths and injuries associated with commutes to
school. The Committee encourages FHWA to work with the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Safe Routes
to School Partnership, and state and local stakeholders to
facilitate safe student access to schools.
Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management
Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD).--Under the FAST Act, ATCMTD
was able to fund 5 to 10 projects, annually, to make
competitive grants for the development of model deployment
sites for large scale installation and operation of advanced
transportation technologies with the goal of improving safety,
efficiency, system performance, and return on investment. The
levels of funding provided under this heading will allow the
Department to increase research funding for additional
advancements in such transportation technologies.
Ohio River crossings.--The Committee encourages the
Department to work with relevant state departments of
transportation to complete unfinished sections of certain
interstate corridors and address capacity constraints at Ohio
River crossings along these routes to create a continuous
transportation network from Canada to Mexico that will
facilitate international trade and spur economic development.
Alabama highway improvements.--The Committee is aware of
the importance of challenges faced by the southeast region of
Alabama, along routes that are critical for regional tourism,
emergency evacuations, and provide access to the U.S. Army
Aviation Center of Excellence and Fort Rucker. Due to steep
grades along the route and an increasing number of passenger
vehicles and heavily loaded freight carriers, roads such as
Highway 167 regularly experience delayed traffic flows and an
increased number of traffic-safety hazards. The Committee
encourages FHWA to work with state and local stakeholders to
address safety improvements to alleviate delays and chokepoints
to ensure a clear route for the transportation of goods and
services and for major emergency evacuations.
Virginia highway capacity.--The Committee recognizes the
challenges faced on certain highways in the Commonwealth of
Virginia, which are critical to the freight network along the
east coast. Interstate 81, for example, is a corridor in
Virginia that is two lanes in each direction, and when one lane
is blocked there is a significant reduction in capacity.
Contributing factors to the long crash clearance times include:
lack of capacity, the rolling terrain, lack of reliable detour
routes, and the constrained configuration. Travel is
anticipated to continue to increase on some of these routes,
with truck traffic growing at a faster pace than passenger
vehicle traffic. The Committee encourages FHWA to work with
state and local stakeholders to address surface conditions and
other improvements to alleviate incident-related delays and
backups.
Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) program.--The
STBG program provides flexible funding that may be used to
improve Federal-aid highways. Interstates are crucial to our
nation's freight network and incident-related delays lead to
significant safety concerns and a reduction in capacity on our
roadways. The Committee encourages the Secretary to assist
states where truck traffic is growing on interstates at a
faster pace than passenger vehicle traffic to alleviate
incident-related delays and backups.
Critical commerce corridors.--The Committee believes
critical commerce corridors, an authorized use of funds in the
nationally significant freight and highway projects program,
can improve economic efficiency, reduce travel times, and
promote safe travel on our nation's roads and highways. These
corridors include existing highways where a barrier physically
separates lanes dedicated to heavy commercial trucks from lanes
dedicated to passenger vehicles. The Committee encourages DOT
to strongly consider applications for the creation of critical
commerce corridors when awarding grants to individual states.
Safe routes to school and emergency medical care.--The
Committee is aware of a commuter-preferred option for residents
in multiple communities just west of the Delaware Water Gap
National Recreation Area (DEWA), a U.S. Department of Interior
park. Such options include Route 2001, which is also a primary
route for school buses and ambulances. During adverse winter
weather conditions, Route 2001 specifically becomes the only
north-south route option in southeastern Pike County,
Pennsylvania as DEWA closes an arterial route, which runs
inside its boundaries for just under 30 miles. The Committee
continues to be concerned regarding Route 2001's ability to
handle the increased winter traffic and encourages the
Department to work with state and local stakeholders to address
surface conditions and other improvements needed to alleviate
the recurring delays on routes, such as Route 2001, to school
buses, ambulances, and commuters when traffic is redirected to
it from arterial routes by DEWA.
Cap park development.--The Committee notes the growing
interest in communities across the country in developing cap
parks (also called a City Deck Park) in which a park is placed
over a highway. These parks connect neighborhoods that have
long been divided by highways, reduce traffic congestion,
improve air quality, and bring green space to communities.
House Report 116-452 directed the Department to analyze the
benefits of cap parks and to report back to the Committee
within one year of enactment on its findings. The Committee
looks forward to receiving the report.
Capping highways.--The Committee acknowledges President
Biden's call to redress historic inequities and build the
future of transportation infrastructure within the American
Jobs Plan. This plan seeks to right the wrongs previous
infrastructure projects have imposed on urban communities. One
solution to this issue is to cap major highways to reduce the
air pollutants in the surrounding neighborhoods. As such, the
Committee directs GAO, in consultation with the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations, within one year of
enactment of this Act, to assess the extent to which states and
local governments have undertaken similar projects in recent
years; the efforts of FHWA to provide technical assistance or
other support for such projects; and stakeholder perspectives
on the potential costs and benefits of capping major highways.
This study should consider highways that intersect
neighborhoods with racially concentrated poverty and
neighborhoods with high asthmas hospitalization rates, as well
as examine the health benefits to the surrounding neighborhoods
of capping a highway with greenspace and installing filtrations
systems within the new tunnels.
Resiliency for coastal roads and highways.--Coastal roads
and highways, which are the lifelines of many communities, are
facing major challenges from the effects of climate change,
particularly sea level rise and coastal erosion. As DOT makes
investments in coastal areas, the Committee continues to urge
the Department to emphasize resiliency and support for roads
that are currently in crisis situations, ensuring that the most
vulnerable roads are being modernized utilizing best practices,
and that planning for future resilient roads take these
realities into account.
Resilient building materials.--The Committee encourages the
Department to promote the use of resilient building materials
that will reduce carbon emissions and nonpoint source
pollution, as appropriate, in all Federally funded highway
projects.
New interstate designations.--The Committee recognizes the
benefits that communities achieve when existing roads are
designated as interstates or future interstates, including
those that will facilitate the safe evacuation of coastal
areas. The Committee encourages FHWA to work with the
appropriate state departments of transportation to facilitate
the development of these highways. The Department is directed
to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
on these efforts within 60 days of enactment of this Act.
Innovative technologies.--The Committee urges FHWA to
consider the feasibility of utilizing or deploying innovative
technologies, including moveable barriers, that provide
congestion relief, improve air quality, and decrease fuel
consumption. Innovative technologies can also offer quick
alternatives to costly road construction, result in safer
roadways, and help eliminate crossover fatalities. The
Committee encourages FHWA to consider such technologies as part
of any project for which the Federal government provides
grants.
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).--The
Committee recognizes the importance that the MUTCD plays in
creating a uniform and safe experience for drivers nationwide.
It defines the standards used by road managers nationwide to
install and maintain traffic control devices on all public
streets, highways, bikeways, and private roads open to public
travel. It is updated periodically to accommodate the nation's
changing transportation needs and to address new safety
technologies, traffic control tools, and traffic management
techniques. The Committee understands FHWA is currently
undergoing rulemaking on MUTCD and encourages FHWA to implement
the final rule expeditiously.
Local empowerment for accelerating projects.--The Committee
is aware that counties play an important role in our nation's
transportation network, owning a large share of the nation's
road miles. Section 1420 of the FAST Act authorized the Local
Empowerment for Accelerating Projects Pilot Program, which
allowed, on an experimental basis, for the direct delivery of
Federal-aid funding to up to five Local Public Agencies. The
Committee is interested in the outcomes of the pilot program
and directs the Department to provide a report to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 180 days
after enactment of this Act.
Redressing historic inequities in the nation's interstate
highway system.--The construction of the nation's interstate
highway system was shaped by systemic racism. There are
countless examples of interstate highways that were directly
and purposefully routed through established minority
communities, causing community upheaval, loss of homes and
businesses, and economic hardship. The Committee encourages the
Department to address the systemic destruction of communities
by prioritizing projects that reconnect neighborhoods cut off
by historic investments in the interstate highway system and to
ensure new projects increase opportunity, advance racial equity
and environmental justice, and promote affordable access.
Bike lanes for equitable, sustainable transportation.--The
addition of high quality bike infrastructure, including trails
and protected bike lanes, is proven to reduce traffic
fatalities and open up opportunities for healthy and zero-
carbon transportation. High quality bike infrastructure opens
up access for low-income communities and encourages cycling
among novice cyclists and families who may have a lower
tolerance for risk. The Committee encourages FHWA to work with
state and local agencies to support greater implementation of
bike lanes throughout the nation.
Pedestrian safety.--The Committee is aware of cities that
might have the capacity to directly assist with implementation
of safety projects and directs FHWA to provide a report to the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 270 days
of enactment of this Act on how the highway safety improvement
program can better assist cities in directing Federal funding
or providing Federal assistance to pedestrian safety projects.
Infrastructure monitoring demonstration project.--The
Committee is interested in new technology advancements to
monitor and assess the lifespan, safety, and durability of
infrastructure investments, and directs FHWA to brief the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 180 days of
enactment of this Act on its research in this area.
Communities impacted by persistent flooding.--The Committee
directs DOT, through its Federal Lands Access Program, to
provide consideration for communities that are impacted by
persistent flooding.
Highway-rail grade crossing safety.--The Committee notes
that highway-rail grade crossing collisions are the second
leading cause of all rail-related fatalities in the United
States. Consistent with the authorized level, the Committee
provides $245,000,000 for railway-highway crossing improvements
under section 130(e) of title 23, United States Code for the
elimination of hazards at railway-highway crossings.

Nationally significant federal lands and tribal projects
program.--The Committee directs that when making grant awards
under this heading, FHWA should prioritize roadways that in the
previous two fiscal years have been closed or had speed
reductions due to unsafe travel conditions as a result of the
roadway's infrastructure condition and maintenance.
Tribal transportation program (TTP).--The Committee
recognizes that providing safe and adequate transportation over
the more than 160,000 miles of roads and trails within Indian
reservations, Indian lands, and Alaska Native Village
communities is crucial for the safety and welfare of tribal and
surrounding non-tribal communities. A prime objective of the
TTP is to contribute to the economic development, self-
determination, and employment of Indians and Native Americans.
As a result, the Committee provides an additional $20,000,000
for tribal transportation programs. This funding should be
available for transportation needs to address the existence of
safety hazards with documented fatality and injury accidents,
to address challenges caused by geographic isolation, or to
plan for all weather access for emergencies, employment,
commerce, health, safety, educational resources, or housing
with an emphasis on key roads vital to gain access to tribal
reservations and may serve adjacent communities.
Advanced digital construction management systems.--Advanced
Digital Construction Management Systems are defined as
commercially proven digital technologies and processes for
management of construction and engineering activities,
including systems for infrastructure planning and coordination,
construction, maintenance, modernization and management, asset
management systems for machines, site equipment, and personnel.
Project delivery systems for project management are also
included. The Committee intends for software, hardware,
services, and employee training on the use and management of
Advanced Digital Construction Management System to be eligible
expenses under this heading. Further, the Committee directs the
Secretary to release a Notice of Funding Opportunity for
current and previous years funding within 90 days of the
enactment of this Act.
Tribal fatalities study.--The Committee provides $2,000,000
for research that leads to decreases in highway and pedestrian
fatalities among tribal populations. This research should build
on reports mandated in the FAST Act and should be competitively
awarded to state governments, academic institutions, or non-
profits with both existing partnerships among tribal
governments and which have traffic safety and transportation
research expertise. Research should focus on priority areas
identified in FHWA's 2018 report ``Options for Improving
Transportation Safety in Tribal Areas''. Other activities
should include, but are not limited to, the creation of a
national survey that engages Tribal nations in evaluating the
awareness and effectiveness of available transportation safety
resources; research that enhances the transportation decision-
making process; research that explores and develops crash
mitigation strategies and countermeasures in priority topic
areas; and the identification of best practices.
Insterstate-35 innovative corridor project.--The Committee
notes the importance of Interstate 35, a critical north-south
corridor for commerce that is crucial for an efficient,
resilient, and secure supply chain. As such, the Committee
provides $7,500,000 and directs FHWA to conduct comprehensive
evaluations and analysis of highway corridors from ports of
entry to inland ports.
Salmon recovery.--The Committee provides $5,000,000 to
establish a cooperative series of agreements with universities,
Federal agencies, the National Academy of Sciences,
transportation agencies and/or nonprofit organizations with
demonstrated capacity and expertise to conduct aligned
investigations and studies to advance the biologic, hydraulic,
geomorphologic, cultural, and other scientific engineering to
help mitigate and improve the impacts of culverts, roads, and
bridges on threatened or endangered salmon populations. The
aligned outcomes will assist with identifying, prioritizing for
future funding, and providing scientific and engineering
approaches applicable to highway infrastructure improvement
projects that will reduce these impacts and enhance recovery
efforts.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
Section 120 distributes obligation authority among Federal-
aid highway programs.
Section 121 credits funds received by the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics to the Federal-aid highways account.
Section 122 provides requirements for any waiver of the Buy
America Act.
Section 123 requires 60-day notification to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations of any grants as authorized
under 23 U.S.C. 117.
Section 124 allows state DOTs to repurpose certain highway
project funding to be used within 5 miles of its original
designation.
Section 125 requires the Federal Highway Administration to
adjudicate Buy America waivers based on the rules and
regulations in effect before April 17, 2018.
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) was
established within the Department of Transportation (DOT) by
Congress through the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of
1999. FMCSA's mission is to promote safe commercial motor
vehicle operations and to reduce truck and bus crashes. FMCSA
works with Federal, state, and local entities, the motor
carrier industry, highway safety organizations, and the public
to further its mission.
FMCSA resources are used to prevent and mitigate commercial
vehicle accidents through regulation, enforcement, stakeholder
training, technological innovation, and improved information
systems. FMCSA also is responsible for enforcing Federal motor
carrier safety and hazardous materials regulations for all
commercial vehicles entering the United States along its
southern and northern borders.

Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +51,357,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. +91,500,000
The limitation on obligations establishes FMCSA's spending
level for salaries, operating expenses, and research to support
motor carrier safety program activities and to maintain the
agency's administrative infrastructure. This funding supports
nationwide motor carrier safety and consumer enforcement
efforts, including the compliance, safety, and accountability
program, regulation and enforcement of freight transport, and
Federal safety enforcement at the U.S. borders. These resources
also fund regulatory development and implementation,
information management, research and technology, safety
education and outreach, and the safety and consumer telephone
hotline.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Consistent with the amounts authorized in the INVEST in
America Act, the Committee recommends $379,500,000 for the
Operations and Programs account. The obligation limitation is
for one fiscal year, except $78,073,000 which is available
until September 30, 2024. Of the amounts available until
September 30, 2024, not less than $65,000,000 is for
information management and $13,073,000 is for the research and
technology program.
Transparency and responsiveness to Congress.--The Committee
is concerned that it has not been notified of key developments
within FMCSA, including the issuance of reports, one of which
was directed by the Committee. The Committee expects FMCSA to
be responsive and transparent and directs the agency to notify
staff no later than one business day in advance of publishing
notices in the Federal Register or when studies requested by
the Committee are published.
Hours of service (HOS).--The Committee remains concerned
about the safety and labor ramifications of the HOS rule that
FMCSA finalized on September 29, 2020. The final rule will
extend driving time and distance while also reducing the amount
of time a driver takes for rest. The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260) directed that
FMCSA annually analyze such regulations by comparing specified
safety data to data collected prior to the implementation of
the final HOS rule and to report the results in the fiscal year
budget request. The fiscal year 2022 request did not include
such analysis. The Committee repeats such direction for fiscal
year 2022 and directs FMCSA to make the information publicly
available and to post the analysis on the agency's website
concurrently with the posting of the fiscal year budget request
for fiscal year 2023.
Large truck crash causation study.--The Committee remains
alarmed by truck safety trends. In 2019, injuries to people
involved in large truck crashes increased more than 5 percent
and the number of deaths has increased by 36 percent since
2010. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law
116-260) included $30,000,000 for a study on the causes of
large truck crashes because injuries to occupants of large
trucks, occupants of other vehicles, and nonoccupants like
pedestrians and cyclists continue to increase. Within 90 days
of enactment of this Act, the Committee directs FMCSA to brief
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the
progress of the study.
Information technology.--Information technology problems at
FMCSA continue to have negative effects on the safety and
efficiency of the trucking industry nationwide. The legacy of
layered, antiquated systems remains a stumbling block for the
agency. As a result, the Committee provides $65,000,000 for
information management and directs FMCSA to provide quarterly
briefings to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
on the agency's progress towards a streamlined and efficient
information management system.
National registry of certified medical examiners.--The DOT
Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found that FMCSA is not
meeting its oversight requirements for the National Registry of
Certified Medical Examiners (report number ST2021013). Outdated
and missing data stymie the agency's ability to monitor the
industry. In addition, FMCSA has not implemented requirements
for monitoring, and the roll out of the electronic registry has
been plagued by delays. The OIG reports ``Without these
oversight reviews, FMCSA may be missing fraud indicators or
other risks that may require mitigation and has less assurance
that drivers are physically qualified to safely operate a
commercial vehicle.'' In December 2020, the agency proposed a
timeline for addressing the OIG's concerns. Within 90 days of
enactment of this Act, FMCSA is directed to brief the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriation on the agency's plan to
comply with the OIG's recommendations.
Motor carrier safety fitness determination (SFD)
rulemaking.--Within 90 days of enactment of this Act, the
Committee directs the Secretary to initiate a rulemaking to
update and revise regulations issued pursuant to subsection (b)
of section 31144 of title 49, United States Code. The Committee
directs that such a rulemaking shall include procedures for the
Secretary to determine if a motor carrier is not fit to operate
a commercial motor vehicle in or affecting interstate commerce
in accordance with such section.
Commercial zone boundaries.--FMCSA currently designates the
South Texas counties of Cameron, Hidalgo, Starr, and Willacy as
part of a commercial zone at the border between the United
States and Mexico. As a result, these counties are exempt from
certain regulations under 49 U.S.C. 13506(b)(1). The Committee
notes that Zapata county is adjacent to Starr County and the
Mexican border. The Committee encourages FMCSA to analyze
expanding the commercial zone boundaries defined under 49 CFR
Sec. 372.237.

The limitation on obligations controls FMCSA's spending
level for motor carrier safety grants. These grants are used to
support compliance reviews in the states, identify and
apprehend traffic violators, conduct roadside inspections, and
conduct safety audits of new entrant carriers. Additionally,
grants are provided to states for improvement of state
commercial driver's license oversight activities.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Consistent with the amounts authorized in the INVEST in
America Act, the Committee recommends $506,200,000 in
obligation limitation and liquidating cash for the federal

Section 130 requires FMCSA to send notice of 49 CFR section
385.308 violations by certified mail, registered mail, or
another manner of delivery, which records the receipt of the
notice by the persons responsible for the violations.
Section 131 requires FMCSA to update annual inspection
regulations to require that rear underride guards be inspected
annually.
Section 132 prohibits funds from being used to enforce the
requirements of section 31137 of title 49, or any regulation
pursuant to such section, with respect to carriers transporting
livestock or insects.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
was established in March 1970 to administer motor vehicle and
highway safety programs. It was the successor agency to the
National Highway Safety Bureau, which was housed in the Federal
Highway Administration.
NHTSA's mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and
reduce economic costs due to road traffic crashes through
education, research, safety standards, and enforcement
activity. To accomplish these goals, NHTSA establishes and
enforces safety performance standards for motor vehicles and
motor vehicle equipment, investigates safety defects in motor
vehicles, and conducts research on driver behavior and traffic
safety.
NHTSA provides grants and technical assistance to state and
local governments to enable them to conduct effective local
highway safety programs. Together with state and local
partners, NHTSA works to reduce the threat of drunk, impaired,
and distracted drivers, and to promote policies and devices
with demonstrated safety benefits including helmets, child
safety seats, airbags, and graduated driver's licenses.
NHTSA establishes and ensures compliance with fuel economy
standards, investigates odometer fraud, establishes and
enforces vehicle anti-theft regulations, and provides consumer
information on a variety of motor vehicle safety topics.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Truck underrides.--The Committee highlights that DOT has
been researching truck underrides for more than 50 years and
that NHTSA's proposed rulemaking to update truck rear impact
guard requirements in December 2015 cited 362 annual fatalities
associated with light vehicle crashes into the rear of trucks.
The Committee directs NHTSA to prioritize working with relevant
experts and stakeholders, including researchers, engineers,
safety advocates, and the trucking industry, to facilitate the
deployment and adoption of rear and side underride protection
devices. The Committee encourages DOT to form an advisory
committee on truck underrides to further this work. The
Committee reiterates direction from the past several years that
NHTSA implement GAO recommendations on truck underrides and to
complete rulemaking to improve rear guards in order to
ultimately meet the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
standards for Toughguard awards. The Committee repeats such
direction and directs NHTSA to brief the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations quarterly on its progress to meet
such requirements. In addition, the Committee directs NHTSA to
substantively respond to the grant of petition for rulemaking
on Rear Impact Guards, Rear Impact Protection published in the
Federal Registrar on July 10, 2014.
Automatic emergency braking (AEB).--The Committee notes
that the safety benefits of AEBs on large trucks are well
documented and mandating such technology would significantly
reduce the more than 5,000 annual fatalities from large truck
crashes. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has found
that AEBs can reduce front-to-rear crashes with injuries by 56
percent. The costs to generating these benefits are not large.
A September 2018 study by NHTSA found that the incremental cost
to a truck driver of automatic emergency brakes would be less
than $350. The Committee appreciates that the Spring 2021
regulatory agenda included the AEB rulemaking, and the
Committee directs that NHTSA move with all deliberate speed in
finalizing this rule.
Test dummies.--The Committee understands that developing,
testing, and fully vetting an advanced anthropomorphic test
dummy is complicated and time consuming. However, NHTSA has
been working on such research and development for almost 15
years. The Committee is anxiously awaiting the adoption of the
Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint (THOR) 50th percentile
test dummy, as well as the eventual adoption of the THOR 5th
percentile female and the Worldwide Harmonized Side Impact
Dummy (WorldSID) side impact test dummies. In order to
adequately address the gender inequities in crash testing data,
the updates must ensure equitable frontal crash tests for both
male and female drivers. Within eighteen months of enactment of
this Act, the Committee directs NHTSA to issue the long overdue
New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) proposed rule that adopts the
most technologically advanced safety equipment, including the
most advanced anthropomorphic test dummies. Subsequently, the
Committee directs NHTSA to report on, and make public, an
analysis addressing the findings on and progress to adopt the
THOR 50th and THOR 5th percentile test dummies, including an
accounting of all relative studies, as well as any efforts
NHTSA has made to address gender disparities in crash testing
and accident effects.
Crashworthiness research.--The Committee recognizes the
importance that lightweight plastics and polymer composites
play to improve automotive safety, meet consumer demand for
innovative and autonomous vehicles, increase fuel efficiency,
and support new highly skilled manufacturing jobs. Effective
lightweight materials can also have the benefit of increasing
fuel-economy. The Committee is pleased that NHTSA continues to
work closely with the Department of Energy on lessons learned
from lightweight materials research. The Committee directs
NHTSA to continue to include the consideration of lightweight
materials as standards, test procedures, and associated
countermeasures are developed as part of the occupant
protections program. Safety standards established by NHTSA
should not present a barrier to the integration or adoption of
new materials, many of which have lightweight components.
Fuel-economy standards.--According to the EPA, GHG
emissions from transportation account for about 30 percent of
total greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, making it
the largest contributor of GHG emissions in the country. The
Committee applauds the finding by NHTSA that California's
authority to regulate GHG emissions is not preempted by the
Federal government's authority to set fuel economy standards.
The Committee encourages NHTSA, in conjunction with EPA, to set
a higher federal fuel economy standard as a part of a shift
towards electrification of the motor vehicle fleet. As part of
this effort, the Committee encourages NHTSA to consider the
availability of alternative fuel vehicles when establishing new
fuel economy standards.
Autonomous vehicle (AV) testing.--The Committee remains
concerned that changes in driving technology will bring
significant changes to the roadways from both cars and large
trucks, and that the nation remains unprepared for such
changes. Testing how AVs react to various environmental and
weather conditions is a critical part of validating AV safety.
The Committee is concerned that the United States does not have
research and test facilities which replicate a wide variety of
challenging weather conditions like rain, fog, and low sun
angles. The Committee encourages NHTSA to use previously
designated AV proving grounds or to partner with an existing
non-profit automotive vehicle test and research facility to
facilitate the development and deployment of AV technology that
can operate in all weather conditions. Such partnerships should
include sensor environmental testing where the vehicle moves
through the driven environment. In addition, the Committee
reiterates its direction from fiscal year 2021 that NHTSA
develop a research program to better understand the kinetics
and injury outcomes associated with alternatively positioned
vehicle occupants. This research program may involve partnering
with one or more academic institutions for an experimental
validation study.
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).--The Committee
recognizes the safety benefits of ADAS but is concerned that
there are not minimum performance standards for the technology,
resulting in consumer confusion about the benefits and
constraints of the technology. While the Committee supports
NHTSA's recent efforts to educate consumers about ADAS
technologies and directs NHTSA to continue such outreach, the
Committee further directs NHTSA to develop minimum performance
standards for ADAS and AV technologies including, but not
limited to, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning,
lane departure warnings, and traffic signal recognition. The
Committee fully supports the recommendation by the NTSB that
NHTSA collect standardized crash data from AV and certain ADAS
systems and applauds NHTSA's announcement on June 29, 2021 that
they will begin requiring manufacturers and operators to report
such data. A better understanding of these systems by NHTSA is
crucial for the evaluation of their safety.
Emergency responders and electric batteries.--The Committee
is worried about the danger to emergency responders who respond
to incidents involving electric vehicles. Crash damage can
result in fires because of the high energy stored in propulsion
battery packs. As a result, the battery can reignite. The
Committee supports the NTSB's recommendations that NHTSA
convene a coalition of stakeholders to continue research on
ways to mitigate or deenergize the stranded energy in high-
voltage lithium-ion batteries and to reduce the hazards
associated with thermal runaway resulting from high-speed,
high-severity crashes.
Trailer safety.--The Committee is supportive of ongoing
national efforts aimed at increasing awareness of light and
medium duty safety for trailer towing and encourages NHTSA, in
conjunction with national stakeholder groups, to conduct
outreach to the driving public through advertising so consumers
understand how to safely use trailers and properly utilize
safety features implemented by vehicle manufacturers.
Overdue rulemakings.--The Committee remains concerned about
the slow progress by NHTSA on completing rulemakings mandated
by Congress in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st
Century Act (MAP-21) (P.L. 112-141) (MAP-21) and the FAST Act.
The Committee anticipates receiving the GAO report listing all
congressionally mandated rulemakings related to 49 USC Chapter
301 which DOT and NHTSA have failed to address consistent with
the required deadlines. That report will also include the
reasons for such delays and potential actions to reduce delay
in mandated rulemaking activities, including the prioritization
of congressionally mandated rules in relation to general
rulemaking activities.

This limitation on obligations controls NHTSA's spending
for highway safety research and development programs. Many of
these programs are conducted in partnership with state and
local governments, the private sector, universities, research
units, and various safety associations and organizations.
Programs funded by this account include research,
demonstrations, and technical assistance to state and local
governments around behavioral aspects of driver, occupant, and
pedestrian behavior. This account also funds NHTSA's National
Center for Statistics and Analysis which collects and analyzes
crash data and provides technical assistance to support state
highway safety activities.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
For behavioral safety research funded by the operations and
research account, the Committee recommends $180,612,000 in
liquidating cash and obligation limitation. Obligation
limitation is available for one year, except for $20,000,000
which is available until September 30, 2023 and up to
$7,000,000 which is available until expended. The total
includes $170,612,000 consistent with the INVEST in America Act
and $10,000,000 in funds from prior years.
Highway fatalities.--Despite dramatic decreases in the
number of cars on the road, automobile fatalities and injuries
spiked in 2020. Fatalities per vehicle mile traveled increased
by 24 percent over the previous 12-month period, the largest
year-over-year increase since 1924, imposing a cost of more
than $800 billion on society. The Committee recognizes the need
for more robust data collection and analysis related to
vehicle, highway, and behavioral safety to develop effective
countermeasures to reduce the number of and severity of vehicle
crashes involving intersections, pedestrians, and a vehicle
leaving the lane or roadway. Immediate steps must be taken to
focus resources on a national campaign to save lives on the
roadways. The Committee directs NHTSA to assert its leadership
by developing and implementing a national campaign, working
with other Federal agencies, the states, law enforcement, the
public health community, industry, and others who can
contribute to the goal of saving lives. Funding provided under
this heading is provided for robust research on causal factors
of auto crashes such as distracted driving, road conditions,
and congestion. In fiscal year 2021, the Committee required a
report on the agency's plans and progress on this campaign, due
December 23, 2021. The Committee expects that the report will
be on time, will include specific goals, and any impediments to
achieving those goals.
Pedestrian fatalities.--The Committee remains alarmed at
the increased number of pedestrian fatalities, that have soared
almost 50 percent to more than 7,000 fatalities over the last
10 years, roughly one-sixth of all traffic deaths in the United
States. Reducing these fatalities and injuries will take a
concerted effort that includes enforcement of existing laws,
changes in street design and engineering, and education of
drivers and pedestrians. The Committee directs NHTSA to
continue to work with FHWA and state and local stakeholders to
conduct education and enforcement efforts in cities nationwide
and to convene stakeholders to develop and publicize innovative
solutions to reduce pedestrian fatalities. In addition, the
Committee directs NHTSA to update data collection methodologies
to evaluate pedestrian injuries and fatalities.
Road to zero coalition.--The Committee believes that
conquering persistent problems with speed, seat belt use,
distraction, and substance-impaired driving requires a
collaborative effort. The Road to Zero coalition has mobilized
more than 1,700 organizations supporting a goal to reduce
fatalities on the roads and reach a goal of zero fatalities by
2050. Conquering the traffic safety question requires a
collective effort around the Road to Zero's three pillars:
doubling down on proven countermeasures, accelerating the
adoption of life-saving technology, and prioritizing a safe
system approach. In order to reduce motor vehicle fatalities,
the Road to Zero coalition has awarded 25 safe system
innovation grants totaling $3,500,000 over three years to
qualifying organizations that could clearly explain how their
program would reduce motor vehicle fatalities. The Committee
encourages DOT to remain engaged and involved with the Road to
Zero coalition as it develops data-driven actions to meet the
goal of reducing motor vehicle fatalities to zero. Within 120
days of enactment of this Act, the Committee directs NHTSA to
develop and implement an agreement to provide safe system
innovation grant funding for such activities at a level
commensurate with previous levels of support.
Drunk and impaired driving detection.--Drunk driving is the
number one cause of traffic fatalities, costing the United
States $194 billion annually and accounting for roughly one-
quarter to one-third of motor vehicle fatalities each year. To
address the scourge of drunk driving, the Committee has
continually supported the Driver Alcohol Detection System for
Safety (DADSS) research under this heading. The DADSS system
specifically aims to detect the presence of a certain level of
alcohol in a driver. NHSTA and staff of the DADSS program
estimate they will complete their work by the end of fiscal
year 2025. The Committee expects NHTSA will continue to support
the program with funds made available under this heading.
The Committee is also encouraged by the development of
camera-based driver monitoring systems. These developing,
probability-based systems aim to detect a variety of behaviors
that are not conducive to safe driving such as distraction,
drowsiness, or impairment. The Committee believes that these
technologies, in combination with other technological
innovations, have the ability to save lives and reduce impaired
driving.
In fiscal year 2021, the Committee directed NHTSA to
contract with the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center
to update the 2007 Review of Technology to Prevent Alcohol-
Impaired Crashes and looks forward to receiving that report.
The Committee directs NHTSA to emphasize research on driver
monitoring and to identify promising technologies that will
reduce or eliminate impaired and distracted driving.
Drug-impaired driving.--The Committee remains concerned
with the growing problem of people driving under the influence
of one or multiple substances, including marijuana and opioids.
The Committee encourages NHTSA to continue funding training
efforts to ensure stakeholders can identify drug-impaired
driving and enforce the law. Funding under this heading is
provided to continue research with the goal of developing a
standardized field sobriety test (SFST) to detect marijuana
impairment.
The Committee directs NHTSA to work with the Department of
Justice, the Department of Health and Human Service, and the
Department of Commerce to ensure that state highway safety
offices and state law enforcement have the most up-to-date
information from the Federal government on detecting impaired
driving. In order to increase the safety of the transportation
network by reducing drug-impaired driving, the Committee
directs NHTSA to work with states to determine their toxicology
testing and funding needs and to make states aware that
assistance for state toxicology labs are eligible expenses
under section 402 and 405 formula grant funds.
Child-car seat testing.--In 2014, NHTSA issued a proposed
rulemaking that would have required all car seats designed for
children up to 40 pounds to be tested for side-impact
collisions. The Committee reiterates its direction that, by
December 31, 2021, NHTSA issue the long overdue rule to test
car seats for effectiveness in side-impact car crashes and to
update rules for frontal impacts.
Child hyperthermia.--The Committee remains deeply concerned
about the ongoing crisis involving children dying of
hyperthermia after being left alone in motor vehicles. From
2018 through 2020, more than 100 children died in this tragic
manner. NHTSA must pursue a two-pronged strategy of public
education and technology solutions. Continued public education
activities should include aggressive media and community
outreach. The auto industry must continue to develop effective
technological solutions to swiftly install such systems that
detect the presence of a child in a motor vehicle and alert
individuals inside and outside the vehicle. Of the amounts
provided under this heading, the Committee directs that no less
than $3,000,000 shall be available primarily to advance the
installation of effective detection and technological solutions
and, secondarily, to raise the awareness of parents and
caregivers by developing and placing assets for campaigns on
social media, radio, and other media.
Virtual car seat checks.--For the past 30 years, child
passenger safety technicians have assisted parents one-on-one
in ensuring that car seats were properly installed. As a result
of COVID-19, one-on-one in-person instruction became extremely
limited, so technicians began to conduct virtual car seat
checks as an alternative. The Committee directs NHTSA to work
with relevant stakeholders, including state highway safety
offices, to promote virtual car seat safety checks.
Children with disabilities.--The Committee is aware that
almost 20 percent of children in the United States have a
physical, emotional, or intellectual disability. Transportation
for these children can be a challenge and the physical eco-
system of our transportation networks can be difficult for such
children to navigate. The Committee directs NHTSA to update the
training curriculum Safe Travel for All Children to address the
training needs of the professionals responsible for the safe
transport of children with disabilities.
Stroke victim transportation protocol.--Stroke is a leading
cause of death and long-term disability among adults in the
United States, but faster diagnosis and treatment greatly
increase chances of survival. The Committee encourages NHTSA
and its Office of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to continue
working with stakeholders in the EMS community to develop and
disseminate information on assessment, treatment, and
transport-destination protocols to ensure that stroke patients
are transported to the most appropriate hospital for treatment.
In developing such protocols, stakeholders shall consider the
capability of an emergency receiving facility to improve
outcomes for patients suspected of having an emergent large
vessel occlusion.
EMS/911.--The Committee believes that providing high-
quality telephone CPR instructions can save lives from cardiac
arrest and should be a standard of care for every 9-1-1
telecommunicator that provides dispatch instructions for
medical emergencies in the United States. Through the EMS, the
Committee encourages NHTSA to develop training in
cardiopulmonary resuscitation to disseminate to state and local
emergency dispatchers. Such training should include evidence-
based protocols, continuing education, and performance
measures.
Cooperative research and evaluation program.--The Committee
recognizes the important role that the Behavioral Traffic
Safety Cooperative Research program plays in ensuring highway
safety. The Committee supports the INVEST in America Act's
inclusion of funding for this program out of amounts made
available under section 402 of title 23, United States Code.
Research on older drivers.--The Committee remains concerned
about the safety of older drivers and sees promise in the
development of tools that can prolong safe and independent
mobility. The Committee supports widespread testing of tools
such as app-based software that provides in-vehicle assistance
to elderly drivers. Of the amounts made available under this
heading, no more than $7,000,000, to remain available until
expended, shall be available for research with a university or
multi-university consortia to test software in order to develop
a framework that facilitates mobility for elderly drivers.
Highway-rail grade crossing safety.--Railroad crossings are
the second largest source of rail-related fatalities annually
in the United States. While incidences at railroad crossings
have been decreasing over the last 30 years due to safety
improvements, the FRA estimates that there were still almost
2,000 collisions, over 600 injuries, and over 200 fatalities.
To address these needless deaths and injuries, the Committee
includes $10,000,000 for NHTSA, in collaboration with FRA, to
continue a high-visibility enforcement campaign on the dangers
of rail-grade crossings.

Safety promotional materials.--For the purpose of Federal
grants administered by NHTSA, safety equipment purchased for
traffic safety education trainings, such as child car seats,
bicycle helmets and lights, and reflective vests, shall not be
considered promotional materials or memorabilia.
Distracted driving.--The Committee notes that in 2019, more
than 3,000 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted
driver, a 10 percent increase over the previous year. NTSB
lists eliminating distractions as a key safety improvement that
would save lives. The Committee continues to fund NHTSA
programs that support state efforts to educate the public and
to enforce laws promoting safe driving habits and to prevent
unnecessary deaths.
State traffic safety information system improvements.--The
Committee recognizes the potential dangers to drivers and
pedestrians caused by the delays associated with mailed paper
notices of out-of-state driving infractions. In coordination
with the National Driver Registry funded under ``Operations and
Research,'' and to help meet the outlined purpose of grants
under sections 402 and 405 of title 23, United States Code, the
Committee directs NHTSA to continue to provide technical
assistance to states on improving the interoperability of state
and national traffic safety information systems, and, where
possible, to build capacity for a transition to digital
notifications. In addition, within one-year after enactment of
this Act, the Committee directs NHTSA to produce a publicly
available report on what challenges states are facing with
improving their traffic safety coordination and to brief the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the findings
of the analysis.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY

Section 142 provides additional funding for highway safety
programs.
Section 143 prohibits funds from being used to enforce
certain state maintenance of effort requirements under 23
U.S.C. 405.
Federal Railroad Administration
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) was established
by the Department of Transportation Act (P.L. 89-670) on
October 15, 1966. FRA plans, develops, and administers programs
and regulations to promote the safe operation of freight and
passenger rail transportation in the United States. The U.S.
freight railroad system consists of approximately 630 railroads
and 140,000 miles of track, which deliver approximately
5,000,000 tons of goods each day. In addition, FRA oversees
grants to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak)
with the goal of assisting Amtrak with improving its passenger
rail service and physical infrastructure.

Competitive grants.--The Committee recognizes that
competitive grant programs require dedicated staff and contract
support to issue notice of funding opportunities (NOFOs),
review applications, select projects for awards, execute grant
agreements, and conduct project management oversight. In fiscal
year 2022, the Committee again provides significant resources
to help communities address transportation challenges through
FRA competitive grant programs. This investment by Congress in
the nation's rail infrastructure requires a robust program of
grant management and oversight. Therefore, the Act allows the
Secretary to withhold up to two percent of the funding provided
for the passenger rail improvement, modernization, and
expansion (PRIME) and consolidated rail infrastructure and
safety improvements (CRISI) grant programs to support the costs
of grant awards and project management oversight. In addition,
section 152 of this Act provides FRA with additional
flexibilities in the use of such administrative set-asides. The
Committee directs FRA to administer and manage all FRA
competitive grant programs funded by this Act in a timely and
responsible manner. Further, the Committee continues to direct
FRA to provide quarterly reports to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations on the status of grant agreements
and obligations for all awards for fiscal years 2017 through
2022 for the Federal-state partnership for state of good
repair, CRISI, and PRIME grant programs.
Safe transportation of energy products.--The Committee
recommendation supports FRA's safe transportation of energy
products programs, which includes safety inspectors, safety
route managers, tank car quality assurance specialists, tank
car research, and increased mileage of the automated track
inspection program (ATIP) on routes that carry energy products.
ATIP.--The ATIP uses track geometry measurement vehicles to
automatically measure track conditions which supplement the
work of FRA inspectors to ensure railroads are compliant with
FRA track safety standards. The Committee recommendation
supports the inspection of passenger rail routes, commuter rail
routes, routes that carry energy products and other hazardous
materials, and further enhancements to the ATIP's inspection
capabilities. The Committee notes that funds provided for the
ATIP in fiscal year 2022 are available to inspect tracks and
analyze data from the ATIP operations and inspections.
Positive train control (PTC).--The Committee commends
freight, passenger, and commuter railroads and FRA for fully
implementing FRA-certified and interoperable PTC systems by
December 31, 2020 as required by law and FRA's regulations. PTC
is now in operation across the country on nearly 58,000 route
miles which carry passengers or certain hazardous materials as
required by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-
432). The Committee understands FRA will play an ongoing role
in the oversight, approval, and enforcement of PTC regulations,
including performance monitoring, compliance audits, and
approval of safety-critical modifications and upgrades. In
addition, should new passenger rail service be initiated or
railroads seek to voluntarily implement PTC, FRA would provide
technical support and conduct the necessary oversight and
approvals of PTC safety plans. The Committee recommendation
provides funding to support FRA's work on these activities in
fiscal year 2022.
Trespasser prevention.--Pedestrians trespassing on railroad
property remains the leading cause of all rail-related
fatalities, accounting for 70 percent of all U.S. rail-related
deaths in 2020. The Committee commends FRA for its commitment
to addressing this issue and its work to implement the National
Strategy to Prevent Trespassing on Railroad Property (National
Strategy). As reported by FRA in the 2020 progress update, FRA
has completed 18 of the 20 tasks in the National Strategy, with
work in process on the remaining two tasks. Of the 18 completed
tasks, 11 are ongoing activities. The railroad trespassing
enforcement grant and railroad trespassing suicide prevention
grant programs which FRA initiated in part in response to the
National Strategy, and were made possible by funding provided
through the safety and operations account in fiscal years 2019
and 2020, were oversubscribed. The Committee understands that
FRA will continue to advance the goals of the National Strategy
by conducting more outreach and local assessments, developing
new partnerships, and gathering and analyzing data. The
Committee recommendation provides funding for FRA to continue
these activities in fiscal year 2022. In addition, as proposed
in the budget request, the Committee recommendation provides
funding for activities supported by the railroad trespassing
enforcement grant and railroad trespassing suicide prevention
grant programs through a set-aside within the CRISI grant
program. Further, the Committee directs FRA to update the
National Strategy annually with the most current data
available, FRA's progress on the milestones outlined in the
National Strategy, and any potential new initiatives to reduce
trespasser fatalities. FRA is directed to submit the updated
National Strategy to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations no later than June 30 each year.
Highway-rail grade crossing safety.--Highway-rail grade
crossing collisions are the second leading cause of all rail-
related fatalities in the United States, accounting for 26
percent of all U.S. rail-related deaths in 2020. Despite more
than half of all public crossings being equipped with active
warning devices, 68 percent of collisions occur at crossings
with active, functional warning devices. The Committee
understands that FRA has established a technology and
automation division to assist with the development,
coordination, and implementation of new technology across the
rail industry. FRA is also using a data driven process to
identify the most dangerous highway-rail grade crossings, which
allows FRA to engage with communities, state and local
agencies, law enforcement, railroads, and advocacy
organizations to identify potential local solutions. In
addition, FRA is assisting communities in identifying Federal
funding opportunities, improving outreach and partnerships,
gathering and analyzing data, and conducting research and
development. The Committee directs FRA to continue these
activities and provides funding to support FRA's work in fiscal
year 2022.
Blocked railroad crossings.--The Committee remains
concerned with the prevalence of railroad crossings blocked by
trains, and the potential impacts to communities and safety.
The website FRA launched for the public and law enforcement to
report blocked railroad crossings has been operational for over
a year. The Committee appreciates FRA's work to review,
analyze, and when appropriate, investigate, these reports. The
Committee directs FRA to continue to use the information
gathered through the website to work with communities, state
and local agencies, law enforcement, railroads, and others to
develop local solutions to blocked railroad crossings.
Amfleet replacement.--The Committee notes that the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) directed
FRA to utilize the flexibilities provided in 2 CFR
200.308(d)(1) to allow state acquisition costs and on-going
capital charges related to Amtrak's new fleet to be an eligible
activity in any future NOFOs for the CRISI and Federal-state
partnership for state of good repair grant programs. The
Committee continues this direction for the CRISI and PRIME
grant programs for fiscal year 2022.
Washington Union Station expansion project.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of Washington Union Station as a
multimodal transportation hub for the National Capital Region.
The Committee understands plans are underway to expand capacity
and improve multimodal facilities at the station and that FRA,
as the lead Federal agency, is preparing an environmental
impact statement (EIS) for the project. The Committee further
understands that it could be beneficial to the project for FRA,
as the representative of the Department of Transportation,
which is the station complex Federal owner, to conduct near-
term project development activities to evaluate implementation
options for the proposed project, such as real estate studies,
financial analysis, and project structure. Conducting these
activities concurrent with the EIS process could better
position FRA, Amtrak, and stakeholders to plan for and carry
out steps to advance the project following the conclusion of
the EIS process. In addition to FRA working with Amtrak to
advance the project, FRA may use funding provided under this
heading to initiate these activities in fiscal year 2022.
Further, the Committee directs FRA to continue working with the
District of Columbia government on the project and to consider
the feedback of all stakeholders, including residents of
affected neighborhoods, in its planning process.
Direct intercity and commuter rail service.--The Committee
recognizes the economic benefits of direct intercity and
commuter rail service in connecting urban and suburban areas
and advancing projects that facilitate expanded opportunities
for one-seat ride service to and from New York Penn Station,
the busiest station in the United States. The Committee urges
FRA and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to work
together with Amtrak and commuter rail agencies, as sufficient
resources are available, to expedite regional investments on
the northeast corridor that would unlock new capacity for
currently underserved communities in New York and New Jersey
and along the northeast corridor.
Railroad safety inspectors and specialists.--The Committee
notes the importance of a well-trained, stable workforce of
railroad safety inspectors and specialists to the overall
safety of the passenger and freight rail transportation system.
This workforce is in high demand and FRA faces competition from
the private sector for these skilled safety professionals. The
Committee understands that the position classifications for
railroad safety inspectors and railroad safety specialists are
authorized in section 5109(b) of title 5, United States Code,
sets a minimum position classification, and that these position
classifications have not been updated since 1979. The Committee
directs FRA to review the position descriptions and
classifications for railroad safety inspectors and railroad
safety specialists. This review should include advances in
technology and automation, any additional scope of technical
work and duties that may not be reflected in current position
descriptions, and a comparison between FRA's railroad safety
inspectors and railroad safety specialists with other
government positions that perform similar duties for other
Federal agencies, such as the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration, the FTA, and National Transportation
Safety Board. In addition, this review should take into
consideration information gathered in the recent review and
update of the position descriptions for railroad safety
inspectors and railroad safety specialists. The Committee
directs FRA to brief the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations, the House Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee, and the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and
Transportation no later than 180 days after enactment of this
Act on the results of its review of the position descriptions
and classifications, including any recommendations on using
FRA's existing authorities to update the position descriptions
and classifications to reflect advances in technology and
automation and any additional scope of technical work and
duties, retaining FRA's workforce, and recruiting, hiring, and
training railroad safety inspectors and railroad safety
specialists.

The railroad research and development program provides
science and technology support for FRA's policy and regulatory
efforts. The program's objectives are to reduce the frequency
and severity of railroad accidents through scientific
advancement, and to support technological innovations in
conventional and high-speed railroads.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $53,826,000 for the
railroad research and development program.
The Committee directs FRA to undertake research and
development activities in all disciplines--track research,
rolling stock, signals, train control and communications, human
factors, and railroad systems--in order to maximize gains in
rail safety and directs FRA to prioritize the introduction of
new technology and data analysis methods to improve safety in
all areas of railroad operations.
Safe transportation of energy products.--The Committee
provides $2,500,000 for FRA to research and mitigate risks
associated with the transportation of crude oil, ethanol,
liquefied natural gas (LNG), and other hazardous materials,
including tank car research in partnership with other Federal
agencies. The Committee is aware of several research and
development projects FRA and the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) are actively pursuing
relating to the transportation of LNG in rail tank cars and the
use of LNG as a fuel for locomotives. The Committee directs
FRA, in collaboration with PHMSA, to continue to support
cooperative research on the safe use of LNG in these
applications which should inform rulemaking.
Emissions reduction.--Freight railroads account for about
40 percent of U.S. freight transportation but only 1.9 percent
of U.S. transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions.
Similarly, on a per-passenger-per mile basis, Amtrak is 46
percent more energy efficient than traveling by car and 34
percent more energy efficient than domestic air travel. Despite
this, the Committee recognizes that more can and should be done
to reduce the emissions associated with freight and passenger
rail operations. FRA, the Department of Energy (DOE), and the
private sector are conducting research, development, and
testing on alternative fuels for locomotives, including the use
of electric batteries, hydrogen, fuel cell technologies, LNG,
biofuels, and renewable biodiesel. The Committee directs FRA,
in collaboration with DOE, to continue to support cooperative
research on innovative technology solutions for low- or no-
emission alternative fuels, including zero emission
technologies, engine improvements, and motive power
technologies. In addition, the Committee directs FRA to conduct
research, development, testing, and analysis to determine the
safety of such technologies, any additional emergency response
planning and training requirements relating to such
technologies, related infrastructure requirements to support
such technologies, and any other activities FRA deems necessary
to ensure the safe operations of such technologies. The
Committee provides $5,000,000 to support this research, which
could improve energy efficiency, hasten the transition from
traditional diesel fuel locomotives, and spur the development
and deployment of low- or no-emission technologies.
Workforce development.--The Committee notes that FRA's
railroad systems issues program has conducted workforce
development activities for several years, focusing on the
recruitment, retention, and development of the railroad
workforce. FRA recently conducted a survey to collect data from
railroad stakeholders to better understand the challenges
facing the railroad workforce. The 2017-2018 survey found
common themes related to concerns with training and emerging
technologies, an aging workforce and succession planning,
diversity, and data collection and sharing. The Committee
understands that FRA's research will focus on gathering and
analyzing data on trends, skill gaps, skill demands, training
opportunities, and industry best practices; identifying
innovative approaches to recruiting talent, attracting and
retaining a more diverse workforce, and knowledge sharing and
succession planning; improving training and educational
opportunities; and fostering an interest in railroad related
employment through science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) programs for pre-K-12, as well as minority
serving institutions, technical and vocational schools, and
community colleges. The Committee provides up to $5,000,000 to
support these research activities, including working with
minority serving institutions. Further, the Committee supports
FRA's efforts to address diversity, equity, and inclusion in
the railroad workforce through its research activities.
Workforce safety.--The Committee notes that FRA's railroad
safety inspector workforce includes hazardous materials safety
inspectors whose duties require them to enter potentially
hazardous environments and have exposed them to dangerous
chemicals. The Committee directs FRA to use funding provided
under this heading to conduct a pilot program on multi-gas
detectors. This pilot program shall include purchasing several
different types of multi-gas detectors, evaluating the
capabilities of such devices to detect a wide range of
potential hazards under the real-world conditions experienced
by hazardous materials safety inspectors, and determining the
calibration, maintenance, and training program the use of such
devices would require. The Committee directs FRA to report to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the
findings of the pilot program upon its completion.
PTC.--As previously noted, freight, passenger, and commuter
railroads fully implemented PTC systems on nearly 58,000 route
miles across the country by December 31, 2020. While this marks
a significant achievement for rail safety, the Committee
recognizes that work on PTC does not end with this milestone.
The Committee understands that FRA's train control and
communication research program will continue to develop and
test next generation PTC technology to provide additional
functionality, improve reliability, support integration with
other technologies, and ensure safe operations. The Committee
supports FRA's continued focus on PTC and directs FRA to foster
the development and deployment of the next generation of PTC
technologies.
Trespasser prevention and highway-rail grade crossing
safety.--As previously noted, the Committee is concerned that
the two leading causes of all rail-related fatalities are
trespassing on railroad rights-of-way and collisions at
highway-rail grade crossings. Combined, these two causes
accounted for 96 percent of all rail-related fatalities in
2020. The Committee urges FRA to continue research and
development activities which could improve trespass detection
and prevention, including at or near highway-rail grade
crossings, and to assist with the National Strategy to Prevent
Trespassing on Railroad Property. In addition, the Committee
urges FRA to continue research and development activities on
grade crossing technology and engineering solutions, including
human interactions with such technology.
Short-line safety.--The Committee provides $3,000,000 to
improve safety practices and training and develop safety
management systems for class II and class III freight
railroads. This funding supports FRA's initiative to partner
with short-line and regional railroads to build a stronger,
more sustainable safety culture through safety culture
assessments, training and education, including on the safe
transportation of energy products and other hazardous
materials, outreach activities, and research.
Electronic systems.--The Committee recognizes that
continued investment in freight and passenger rail
infrastructure programs will make rail infrastructure,
equipment, and the operating environment safer. Therefore, the
Committee urges FRA to continue prioritizing investments in the
development of technologies designed to verify the functional
performance of complex onboard and wayside electronic systems
such as: PTC, automated train control, passenger door control,
train communications, computer based train control and land
mobile radio testing, and train environmental control. The
Committee recognizes the importance of deploying these
technologies in new and existing systems and acknowledges
investments made in such technologies by cities, transportation
agencies, and railroads across the country. The Committee urges
FRA to continue working with industry to develop standardized
performance specifications, test and verification processes,
and maintenance and diagnostics tools for such systems.

The consolidated rail infrastructure and safety
improvements (CRISI) grant program is authorized by section
22907 of title 49, United States Code, to improve the safety,
efficiency, and reliability of passenger and freight rail
transportation systems. Eligible activities include a wide
range of capital, regional and corridor planning, environmental
analyses, research, workforce development, and training
projects.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $500,000,000 for the
CRISI grant program. Of the total funds provided, not less than
$150,000,000 is for projects eligible under section 22907(c)(2)
of title 49, United States Code, that support the development
of new intercity passenger rail service routes including
alignments for existing routes; not less than $25,000,000 is
for projects to reduce trespassing on railroad property and
along railroad rights-of-way; and not more than $5,000,000 is
for planning and project development activities.
Trespasser prevention.--The Committee is committed to
reducing the number of deaths from pedestrians trespassing on
railroad rights-of-way. FRA identified funding as one of four
strategic areas in its National Strategy to Prevent Trespassing
on Railroad Property. The National Strategy notes that programs
like CRISI could help communities implement targeted trespasser
mitigation strategies. Therefore, the Committee provides not
less than $25,000,000 for projects to reduce trespassing on
railroad property and along railroad rights-of-way and directs
FRA to give preference to projects located in counties with the
most pedestrian trespasser casualties. The Committee further
directs FRA to provide technical assistance to applicants to
ensure proposed trespasser mitigation projects meet CRISI grant
program requirements.
Planning grants.--The Committee recognizes that planning
support can be critical for communities seeking to invest in
and improve rail infrastructure. While CRISI project
eligibility includes the preparation of regional rail and
corridor service development plans and corresponding
environmental analyses, project specific planning is not an
eligible use under section 22907(c) of title 49, United States
Code. Therefore, the Committee provides not more than
$5,000,000 for planning and project development activities to
assist communities in developing passenger and freight rail
projects. This funding would support activities such as project
planning, engineering, design, environmental analysis,
feasibility studies, the development and analysis of project
alternatives, the preparation of reginal intercity passenger
rail plans, and state rail plans.

GRANTS TO THE NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION (AMTRAK)
Amtrak was created by Congress in the Rail Passenger
Service Act of 1970 (P.L. 91-518) to operate intercity
passenger rail service, which was previously operated by
private railroads. Amtrak assumed the common carrier
obligations of the private railroads in exchange for the right
to priority access to the private railroad tracks for an
incremental cost.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Amtrak operated more than
300 trains each day to more than 500 destinations in 46 states,
the District of Columbia, and Canada. About 75 percent of the
miles traveled by Amtrak trains are on tracks owned by other
railroads, and Amtrak owns 624 route-miles of its own track,
most of which is on the northeast corridor (NEC) from
Washington, D.C. to Boston, Massachusetts. In fiscal year 2019,
Amtrak carried 32,500,000 people on the NEC, state-supported
routes, and long-distance routes.
The FAST Act authorizes funding for northeast corridor
grants to Amtrak and national network grants to Amtrak, which
encompasses Amtrak's state-supported and long-distance routes,
as well as other non-NEC activities.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides a total of
$2,700,000,000 for Amtrak through the northeast corridor grants
and national network grants accounts, which is consistent with
the FAST Act authorized structure.
In addition, the Coronavirus Response and Relief
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) and
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2) provided a total
of $2,700,000,000 for Amtrak to prevent, prepare for, and
respond to COVID-19 through the northeast corridor grants and
national network grants. The Committee notes that Amtrak's
General and Legislative Annual Report & Fiscal Year 2022 Grant
Request identified $1,771,700,000 in additional COVID-19 relief
needs in fiscal year 2022 in order to respond to the COVID-19
pandemic. While the Committee has and continues to strongly
support Amtrak's workforce, operations, and assistance to
states and commuter rail agencies operating on state-supported
routes and the NEC, such support in fiscal years 2020 and 2021
was provided through supplemental emergency funding. The
Committee remains committed to working with others in Congress
in the coming months to address the additional COVID-19 relief
needs through other legislative opportunities.
Congressional budget justification.--The Committee
appreciates the level of detail in the fiscal year 2022 budget
justification and directs Amtrak to submit a budget
justification with a similar level of detail for fiscal year
2023.
New or expanded passenger rail service.--The Committee
understands that Amtrak has engaged in a multiyear process to
review its existing route network and potential changes which
could provide new or expanded passenger rail service throughout
the nation. Amtrak studied demographic changes and travel
trends and conducted outreach and site visits with
stakeholders, including state and local governments, economic
development organizations, and the public. This work resulted
in the Amtrak Connects US plan, which could create up to 39 new
routes, improve as many as 25 existing routes, serve up to 166
more cities, and expand service in up to 16 states by 2035.
Unlike in past discussions about new or expanded service, the
Committee understands this plan would not supplant or reduce
service on Amtrak's 15 long-distance and 28 state-supported
routes. It is entirely additive to Amtrak's existing service.
The Committee strongly supports passenger rail service.
Passenger rail helps reduce single occupancy trips, traffic
congestion, and harmful emissions that contribute to climate
change. While the Committee sees promise in Amtrak's plan, it
is vital that any such new or expanded service continues to be
carried out in close collaboration with FRA, states, local
governments, and other stakeholders. States and local
governments have successfully improved or expanded passenger
rail service, are actively working on additional projects, and
must continue to have the opportunity to serve as leads on
projects and should have the opportunity to partner with
Amtrak. The Committee understands that Amtrak intends for the
Amtrak Connects US plan to provide a vision for Amtrak's future
passenger rail service, but that Amtrak does not intend it to
be the final plan. The Committee further understands that
Amtrak welcomes engagement with states, local communities, and
other regional stakeholders on additional new or expanded
service, which may include routes along existing long-distance
service as well as corridor service that connects to long-
distance service. As Amtrak works to advance its plan, the
Committee directs Amtrak to continue to conduct comprehensive
outreach and consultation with state and local governments, the
state-supported route committee (known as the State-Amtrak
intercity passenger rail committee (SAIPRC)), Amtrak employees,
communities, passenger rail organizations, host railroads, and
the public. Amtrak must engage in an open and transparent
process which encompasses anyone who could be impacted,
positively or negatively, by such plans. Further, the Committee
strongly reminds Amtrak that section 24701 of title 49, United
States Code, requires Amtrak to operate a national passenger
rail system, and urges Amtrak to ensure any potential changes
also increase ridership in rural areas and improve service for
long-distance customers.
State-supported route cost sharing.--Section 24712(a)(6) of
title 49, United States Code, authorizes SAIPRC to amend the
cost allocation methodology approved under section 209 of the
Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (P.L.
110-432). The Committee understands that SAIPRC members, which
includes Amtrak, FRA, and 20 state agencies responsible for
supporting 28 state-supported routes, voted to update and
revise the section 209 cost allocation methodology, and
approved a set of principles to guide the development of such
revisions. A process is now underway to review, develop, and
approve a revised section 209 cost allocation methodology by
March 31, 2022. The Committee is encouraged with the
recognition by Amtrak and the state agencies that the section
209 cost allocation methodology ``needs to be updated and
revised to address the cost approach and the business
relationship between the States and Amtrak.'' The Committee
directs Amtrak and FRA to work with the state agencies, in the
forum of SAIPRC, in an open and transparent manner on the
effort to revise the section 209 cost allocation methodology.
In addition, the Committee understands that the Amtrak OIG
initiated an audit to assess the process and data Amtrak uses
to allocate costs for state-supported routes, including
processes for managing cost-sharing, billing states, and
addressing concerns with the section 209 cost allocation
methodology. Upon the completion of this audit, the Committee
directs the Amtrak OIG to brief the House and Senate Committees
on Appropriations on Amtrak's actions relating to any potential
recommendations and no later than 120 days after enactment of
this Act.
Modernizing the NEC.--Amtrak's NEC is the busiest passenger
rail segment in North America. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic,
2,160 Amtrak, commuter rail, and freight trains operated on
some portion of the NEC each day and about 820,000 passengers
were served daily by Amtrak and commuter rail trains. Most of
the NEC infrastructure was built between the Civil War and
1930s, and according to the northeast corridor commission the
NEC has a state of good repair backlog of more than
$42,000,000,000. The NEC is critical to the national economy,
with the loss of NEC services for just one day estimated to
cost the national economy $100,000,000 in transportation-
related impacts and productivity losses. The Committee
recognizes that modernizing the NEC is crucial to sustaining
and growing economic activity. Investments are needed
throughout the system; from replacing basic infrastructure,
like track, structures, communications and signals, and
electronic traction, to replacing or rehabilitating major
assets, like bridges, stations, and tunnels. The Committee has
consistently supported such activities through the northeast
corridor grants account. The Committee continues to support
Amtrak's efforts to advance such infrastructure projects,
consistent with the northeast corridor commission's northeast
corridor commuter and intercity rail cost allocation policy,
through the northeast corridor grants account and its non-
Federal revenue to ensure the vitality of the corridor and
support continued growth in passenger service.
New York Penn Station access.--The Committee understands
efforts are underway to establish a direct commuter rail
connection between New York Penn Station and an underserved
area of the East Bronx, which includes adding new commuter rail
service on a segment of Amtrak's NEC infrastructure, known as
the hell gate line, that currently does not support commuter
rail service. The Committee further understands that joint
beneficiaries of infrastructure projects on the NEC need to
reach cost-sharing agreements for such projects in a manner
consistent with the northeast corridor commission's northeast
corridor commuter and intercity rail cost allocation policy.
Negotiations are ongoing between Amtrak and a commuter rail
agency on a cost-sharing agreement for infrastructure
investments to bring the hell gate line to a state of good
repair and accommodate the new commuter rail service. The
Committee urges Amtrak to continue working with the commuter
rail agency to finalize the cost-sharing agreement as soon as
practicable. Further, the Committee reminds Amtrak and commuter
rail agencies of the dispute resolution processes available
under sections 24905(c)(2) and 24905(c)(4) of title 49, United
States Code.
ADA accessibility at Amtrak stations.--The Committee notes
that the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a complaint against
Amtrak for violating and continuing to violate the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 (P.L. 101-336) by failing
to make existing stations used in intercity rail transportation
accessible to and useable by individuals with disabilities. The
ADA provided Amtrak 20 years, until July 26, 2010, to complete
the necessary upgrades at existing stations. DOJ and Amtrak
reached a settlement agreement in December 2020 in which Amtrak
committed to fixing inaccessible stations, compensating
individuals harmed by inaccessible stations while trying to
travel by train to or from 78 stations with significant
accessibility issues through a $2,250,000 settlement fund,
training staff on ADA requirements, and implementing an agreed-
upon process for accepting and handling ADA complaints.
According to the Americans with Disabilities Act Stations
Program Report Amtrak submitted to the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees in response to direction in House
Report 116-452, 74 of the 386 stations (or 19 percent) at which
Amtrak has either sole or shared ADA responsibilities were
fully ADA compliant as of April 1, 2021. In addition, Amtrak
has reached partial ADA compliance at another 71 stations but
work on the platforms remains to be completed in order to
become fully compliant. The Committee understands that Amtrak
anticipates becoming fully ADA compliant for all station
components for which Amtrak bears responsibility by September
30, 2027. According to the most recent Americans with
Disabilities Act Stations Program Strategy Five-Year Plan,
Amtrak anticipates spending more than $900,000,000 on design
and construction work between fiscal years 2021 and 2026.
Therefore, the Committee recommendation provides $75,000,000
through the northeast corridor grants and national network
grants accounts to bring Amtrak-served facilities and stations
into compliance with the ADA. Further, the Committee urges
Amtrak to also use its non-Federal revenue to advance this
work. In addition, the Committee directs Amtrak to submit an
updated report to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations no later than 120 days after enactment of this
Act detailing the Americans with Disabilities Act stations
program plan and timeline to make the remaining 312 stations
ADA compliant and accessible.
Finally, the Committee understands that the Amtrak OIG is
conducting an audit to assess Amtrak's compliance with the ADA,
including the management of the Americans with Disabilities Act
stations program and Amtrak's policies and procedures relating
to individuals with disabilities. Upon the completion of this
audit, the Committee directs the Amtrak OIG to brief the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on Amtrak's actions
relating to any potential recommendations and no later than 120
days after enactment of this Act.
Station agents.--Since fiscal year 2019, the Committee has
directed Amtrak to provide a station agent in each Amtrak
station that had a ticket agent position eliminated in fiscal
year 2018. Station agents assist passengers with their
passenger rail travel, conduct the sale of tickets, provide
customer service during all hours that a station is open, and
perform building maintenance duties. In fiscal year 2020,
Amtrak began working to fill these positions, advertising
positions internally and subsequently to the general public,
conducting interviews, and making hires. Amtrak continues to
work to recruit, hire, and retain employees at these stations.
The Committee continues to direct Amtrak to provide a station
agent in each Amtrak station that had a ticket agent position
eliminated in fiscal year 2018. In addition, Amtrak is directed
to continue to improve communication and collaboration with
local partners and take into consideration the unique needs of
each community, including impacts to local jobs, when making
decisions related to the staffing of Amtrak stations.
Safety.--The Committee appreciates Amtrak's commitment to
ensuring the safety of Amtrak's passengers, employees,
property, and infrastructure. The Committee understands that
Amtrak is working to implement recommendations made by the
Amtrak OIG in report OIG-A-2020-012. As Amtrak continues this
work, the Committee directs Amtrak to ensure that its workforce
has opportunities to engage in the process and to brief the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 60
days after enactment of this Act. The Committee understands
that Amtrak is complying with section 151 of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) and directs Amtrak to
report quarterly to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on Amtrak's efforts to implement section 151.
Contact centers.--The contact center in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania assists Amtrak's customers with booking travel,
managing their Amtrak guest rewards program, arranging group or
special travel, navigating reimbursements, addressing
complaints, and more. The Committee continues to believe the
employees at the contact center provide an important service to
Amtrak's customers and that Amtrak should continue to employ a
dedicated Amtrak workforce to support the customer service
functions at the Philadelphia contact center. The Committee
directs Amtrak to continue operations at the Philadelphia
contact center with a dedicated workforce consisting of Amtrak
employees, maintain such operations with Amtrak employees, and
minimize the use of outside vendors to perform telephonic or
internet-based customer service support. In addition, Amtrak
should provide its contact center employees with training on
new forms of telephonic or internet-based customer service
communication features. Further, the Committee directs Amtrak
to report quarterly to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on the total number of Amtrak employees at the
Philadelphia contact center, including data on separations,
hiring, and vacancies.
Private cars and charter trains.--In fiscal year 2018,
Amtrak issued new guidelines for private cars on Amtrak trains
and charter trains operated by Amtrak. The Committee continues
to direct Amtrak to review and evaluate the locations and
trains that may be eligible for private car moves, update the
guidelines for private cars on Amtrak if additional locations
or trains meet Amtrak's criteria, and notify private car owners
of these changes. In addition, the Committee directs Amtrak to
continue to brief the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on the effects of these guidelines on private
cars and charter trains and how Amtrak could achieve its goals
without negatively impacting private car and charter train
operations. Amtrak is directed to include an updated report on
private car and charter train policies in its fiscal year 2023
budget justification. The report should include the amounts and
percentages by which revenues and usage declined for private
cars and charter trains. For charter trains, such information
should be provided as separate figures for Amtrak-owned and
privately-owned charter trains. The Committee acknowledges that
certain information may be commercially sensitive and cannot be
made public. Therefore, the Committee directs Amtrak to provide
such information through briefings to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations.
Cybersecurity.--The Committee understands that Amtrak is
working to implement the Amtrak cybersecurity strategic plan to
create a more cyber resilient environment that reduces risks
and quickly detects cyber threats in Amtrak's enterprise,
critical infrastructure, and cloud environments, consistent
with standards developed by the National Institute of
Technology and Standards. The Committee supports Amtrak's plans
to use fiscal year 2022 funding to implement its cybersecurity
strategic plan through capital and operating activities,
including the use of cyber deception capabilities.

1968, when most of the functions and programs under the Federal
Transit Act (78 Stat. 302; 49 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) were
transferred from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development. The Federal Transit Administration administers
Federal financial assistance programs for planning, developing,
and improving comprehensive mass transportation systems in both
urban and non-urban areas.
The most recent authorization for the programs under FTA is
contained in the FAST Act (P.L. 114-94). Annual appropriations

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends a total of $132,500,000 for FTA's
administrative expenses to remain available until September 30,
2023 including $1,000,000, to remain available until expended,
to administer local transportation priorities provided under
the header ``Highway Infrastructure Programs''. The Committee's
recommendation provides these funds from the General Fund.
Operating plans.--The Committee directs FTA to comply with
all directives for operating plans and reprogramming guidelines
within this Act. Consistent with these guidelines, the
Committee directs FTA to provide an operating plan to the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of
enactment of this Act and to follow the reprogramming
requirements contained in section 405 of this Act and prior
Acts.
Budget justifications.--The Committee strongly encourages
FTA to maintain the format and content of the fiscal year 2021
budget justification in the fiscal year 2023 documents.
Annual new starts report.--The Committee has again included
language in the Act requiring FTA to submit the annual new
starts report with the initial submission of the fiscal year
2023 budget request.
Full funding grant agreements (FFGA).--Title 49 of the
United States Code requires that FTA notify the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as the House
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate
Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs 30 days prior
to executing a FFGA. In its notification to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations, the Committee directs FTA
to include the following: (1) a copy of the proposed FFGA; (2)
the total and annual Federal appropriations amount required for
the project; (3) yearly and total Federal appropriations amount
that can be reasonably planned or anticipated for future FFGAs
for each fiscal year through 2025; (4) a detailed analysis of
annual commitments for current and anticipated FFGAs against
the program authorization, by individual project; (5) a
financial analysis of the project's cost and the sponsor's
ability to finance the project, which shall be conducted by an
independent examiner, and shall include an assessment of the
capital cost estimate and finance plan; (6) the source and
security of all public- and private-sector financial
instruments; (7) the project's operating plan, which enumerates
the project's future revenue and ridership forecasts; and (8) a
listing of all planned contingencies and possible risks
associated with the project.
The Committee continues to direct FTA to inform the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations in writing 30 days
prior to approving schedule, scope, or budget changes to any
FFGA. Correspondence relating to such changes shall include any
budget revisions or program changes that materially alter the
project as originally stipulated in the FFGA, including any
proposed change in rail car procurements.
In addition, the Committee directs FTA to continue
reporting monthly to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on the status of each project with a FFGA or
that is within two years of executing a FFGA. The Committee
directs that monthly reporting include any requests for letters
of no prejudice and the level of funds allocated and obligated,
by fiscal year.
Transit worker safety.--The Committee notes that FTA has
not met the statutory deadline in accordance with section 3022
of Public Law 114-94, which requires the FTA to establish
protections from assault for transit workers. The Committee
does not view the actions taken by FTA under 84 FR 24196 as
sufficient to meet the requirements under that section and
notes that Congress explicitly directed FTA to address the
threat of transit worker assault separately in addition to its
directives with regard to public transportation agency safety
plans. Within 60 days of enactment of this Act, the Committee
directs FTA to brief the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations with how it will comply with section 3022 of
Public Law 114-94 in a manner that is consistent with
Congressional intent.
Priority bus corridors.--Transit agencies are responsible
for providing bus service but the quality of such service can
depend on actions by local governments, which control the
right-of-way. Accommodations such as bus-boarding islands, bus-
only lanes, and transit signal priority improve the quality of
service for bus passengers, who are more likely to be people of
color or low-income. Relatively small investments in bus
priority improvements can make a transformative improvement in
access to jobs, education, and other opportunities. The
Committee encourages FTA to work with transit agencies to
facilitate local government cooperation and coordination on bus
transit in order to improve the quality of service though
priority bus corridors.

Authorization acts provide contract authority for the
transit formula grant programs funded from the mass transit
account of the Highway Trust Fund. These programs include:
urbanized area formula grants, state of good repair grants,
formula grants for rural areas, growing states and high-density
states, mobility for seniors and persons with disabilities, bus
and bus facilities grants, bus testing facilities, planning
programs, transit-oriented development, a pilot program for
enhanced mobility, public transportation innovation, technical
assistance and workforce development, and the National Transit
Database. This Act sets an annual obligation limitation for
such authority and provides liquidating cash. This account is
the only FTA account funded from the Highway Trust Fund.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Consistent with the levels authorized in the INVEST in
America Act, the Committee recommends an obligation limitation
of $12,150,348,462 for formula programs and activities. The
Committee's recommendation also includes $13,000,000,000 in
liquidating cash.
Transit-oriented development (TOD).--The utilization and
expansion of TOD is critical to revitalizing cities, reducing
pollution and congestion, and enhancing economic opportunity.
However, such projects require significant planning work before
sponsors may apply for a capital investment grant. The
Committee directs that not less than $10,000,000 be made
available for the FTA's pilot program for TOD as authorized
under Section 20005(b) of MAP-21 (Public Law 112-141).
Innovation in affordable transit demonstration program.--As
part of the research program authorized under section 5312 of
title 49, United States Code, the Committee encourages the
Department to fund an innovative development program to
determine the impacts of need-based transit subsidy programs in
areas with the worst air quality and traffic congestion in the
country.
Cultural and natural areas in cities.--Cities such as
Chicago, Illinois, have a number of cultural attractions, such
as museums, adjacent to natural areas, such as Lake Michigan.
The Committee believes that facilitating zero-emission ``last-
mile'' transportation options to such cultural and natural
attractions would support access to these areas as well as
increase accessibility for underserved residents. The Committee
encourages FTA to study solutions for zero-emission transit
connections in cities where there are adjacent cultural and
natural areas.
Tribal transit fare cards.--The Committee recognizes that
tribal communities can face unique challenges to using transit
including lack of access or technology, and long commutes due
to rural living. The FTA's Tribal Transit Program provides
funding to Federally recognized tribes for capital, operating,
planning, and administrative expenses for public transit
projects that meet the growing needs of rural tribal
communities. The Committee encourages the FTA to provide
technical assistance to tribes and transit agencies that seek
to provide transit fare collection technology, including but
not limited to fare cards, to support access to public transit
and transportation options for members of tribal nations.
Transit cooperative research program (TCRP).--The Committee
supports the critical research completed by TCRP which helps
transit agencies nationwide solve problems and inform decisions
about how to improve efficiencies and serve customer demands.
Research funded by TCRP is used to solve operating problems, to
adapt appropriate new technologies from other industries, and
to introduce innovations into the public transportation
industry. The Committee directs FTA to continue to support the
program at a level commensurate with previous years.
Agricultural worker transportation.--The Committee is
concerned about the provision of safe, reliable transportation
to and from worksites for farmworkers, including farmworkers
residing in housing financed by the Department of Agriculture
(USDA). The Committee encourages FTA, through the national
rural transit assistance program, in coordination with USDA's
rural housing service, to develop materials and best practices
that can be disseminated to local government authorities,
nonprofit organizations, and operators of public transportation
with the goal of identifying options to establish or expand
transit services for farmworkers.

In addition, the Coronavirus Response and Relief
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260)
included $14,000,000,000 and the American Rescue Plan (Public
Law 117-2) included $30,461,365,534 through the Transit
Infrastructure Grants account for transit agencies to prevent,
prepare for, and respond to COVID-19.
Zero emission bus grants.--The Committee is pleased by the
interest in low and no emission buses nationwide and provides
$240,000,000 under this heading, in addition to the amounts
provided under ``Transit Formula Grants'' for FTA to continue
this competitive grant program authorized in the FAST Act. As
part of the criteria for the fiscal year 2022 Notice of Funding
Opportunity, the Committee encourages FTA to include evaluation
criteria that considers the number of zero-emission buses the
applicant currently has in revenue service. In addition, the
Committee strongly encourages FTA to promote greater use of the
innovative procurement authorities for technologically advanced
buses that were established by section 3019 of the FAST Act.
The Committee encourages FTA to provide technical assistance to
states in developing state schedules that are consistent with
Federal law and making purchases from other state schedules
that comply with Federal requirements. FTA may use webinars and
stakeholder events to make transit agencies more aware that
they may purchase from state schedules that comply with Federal
law regardless of location.
Transit vehicle innovation deployment centers (TVIDC).--The
Committee remains keenly interested in the TVIDC program which
provides critical research and technical assistance to advance
innovation in transit. The bill provides $5,000,000 for two
centers to provide technical assistance and to coordinate the
bus industry transition to zero-emission buses. As a result,
the Committee directs FTA to provide ongoing support to TVIDC.
The Committee directs FTA to work with TVIDC to focus on
transit's transition to zero emission bus fleets. In that role,
TVIDC shall continue to work with the transit industry to
establish workforce development plans that support the new
technologies; develop plans to expand transit bus testing to
include low and no emission component testing; establish
procedures to efficiently divide testing responsibilities
amongst the three FTA bus testing centers; establish testing
protocols and priorities while also making recommendations
about how to best disseminate results; support FTA's research
priorities to support the transition to zero emission fleets,
including automation and fueling technologies; and continue to
work with transit and power utilities to establish standards
for bus fleet fueling.
Bus and bus facilities.--The Committee supports the FAST
Act's inclusion of competitive grants in the buses and bus
facilities grant program and encourages FTA to follow the
guidance set forth in the FAST Act when developing selection
criteria for the program. Consistent with 49 U.S.C. 5339(b),
the age and condition of buses, bus fleets, related equipment,
and bus-related facilities should be the primary components of
selection criteria. The amounts provided under this heading are
in addition to the amounts provided under ``Transit Formula
Grants''.
Transformative transit system research.--The Committee
recognizes that transit systems must transform and adapt to
better serve the needs of riders and communities. Past
investments in innovation have resulted in progress in payment
and trip planning technologies as well as mobility on demand,
including the integration of micro-mobility. Funds provided
under this heading are intended to build on and expand from
such technologies. To that end, the Committee believes that
grantees that have received mobility on demand or accelerating
innovative mobility grants under section 5312 of title 49,
United States Code, are well positioned to apply for these
grants. The Committee directs FTA to consider including the
reduction or elimination of fares, the improvement of air
quality, and the integration of micro mobility options such as
bike or scooter sharing as part of the Notice of Funding
Opportunity.
Air quality and traffic congestion.--The Committee supports
the Administration's emphasis on sustainability, climate
resilience, and equity, and encourages the Secretary and the
FTA to prioritize funding for transit projects in areas that
suffer from the worst air quality and traffic congestion in the
country.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING

Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... - - -
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. - - -
The FAST Act authorizes FTA to provide technical assistance
under section 5314 of title 49, United States Code, for human
resource and training activities, and workforce development
programs.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $7,500,000 for technical
assistance and training authorized under section 5314(a)(2) of
title 49, United States Code to remain available until
expended. In addition to the amounts provided under this
heading for activities under section 5314 of title 49, United
States Code, $9,000,000 is provided through the obligation
limitation under the heading ``Transit Formula Grants''.
Workforce development and standards-based training.--The
Committee directs that not less than $2,500,000, to remain
available until expended, shall be for a cooperative agreement
through which FTA assists transit recipients with frontline
workforce development and standards-based training in
maintenance and operations. The cooperative agreement should be
with a national nonprofit organization with a demonstrated
capacity to develop and provide such programs though labor
management partnerships and apprenticeships.
Mobility for people with disabilities and older adults.--Of
the total amounts made available for activities under section
5314 of title 49, United States Code, the Committee directs the
Department to continue to fund agreements that support mobility
for people with disabilities and older adults at a level
commensurate with the amounts dedicated to such agreements in
each year since 2018.
Small-urban, rural and tribal transit providers.--The
Committee directs that not less than $1,500,000 made available
under this heading shall be for a cooperative agreement through
which FTA assists small-urban, rural and tribal transit
providers and planning agencies with providing technical
assistance to deploy new forms of transit service, providing
metropolitan mobility in urban areas that historically have not
received FTA formula grants, promoting regionalized approaches
to transit and mobility, and assisting rural and urban areas
with changing mode-share strategies.
Transportation Research Board (TRB).--The Committee
believes that FTA's active participation in and support of TRB
are crucial to the successful completion and dissemination of
transit research. Of the amounts provided under this heading,
the Committee provides $250,000 for FTA's contribution as a
sponsor of the TRB, which includes support for the annual TRB
Conference and access to all TRB publications and online
resources for all FTA employees.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Committee directs FTA to continue to administer the
program under current guidance and to proactively work with
applicants and grantees to facilitate projects moving through
the capital investment grant pipeline and towards a FFGA. FTA
is directed to evaluate, rate, and recommend projects for
funding, and subsequently award grants to projects that meet
the statutory requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5309. The Committee
directs FTA to enter into FFGAs in which the capital investment
grant contribution is not less than 40 percent of the net
project cost, except at the direct request of the project
sponsor.
The Committee encourages FTA to fully consider small starts
projects that would include stations that serve one or more
Opportunity Zones, as defined in Public Law 115-97. The
Committee further directs that FTA may provide funding for
projects without a FFGA.
Funding is provided for projects that currently have
executed grant agreements, and for projects that have met the
statutory requirements of 49 U.S.C. 5309 and that are
anticipating grant agreements in fiscal year 2022. Funding is
provided consistent with the budget request for fiscal year
2022.
The Committee directs FTA to continue to update the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations, monthly, on the status
of projects that are in the current capital investment grant
funding pipeline. The Committee also directs the Secretary to
provide notice to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations not less than 90 days prior to altering or
rescinding any rule, circular or guidance relating to the
evaluation, rating, and approval process pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
5309.
The Committee directs the Secretary to submit the fiscal
year 2023 annual report on funding recommendations as required
by 49 U.S.C. 5309, to maintain the Federal funding commitments
for all existing grant agreements, and to identify all projects
with a medium or higher rating that anticipate requesting a
grant agreement in fiscal year 2023. As part of the fiscal year
2023 budget request, the Committee directs the Secretary to
submit a list of projects to which it expects to award an FFGA
during the budget year.
Stakeholder engagement.--The Committee remains concerned
that industry stakeholders have not been consulted on past
changes to FTA policies, especially within the capital
investment grant program. Project sponsors require a level of
certainty and understanding of program parameters when
completing lengthy and complicated project plans. The Committee
directs FTA to engage with industry stakeholders before making
significant changes to the program's process or criteria. In
addition, the Committee reemphasizes current law and directs
FTA to issue policy guidance each time significant changes are
made to such processes and criteria.
Phoenix, Arizona.--The Committee is aware that Valley
Metro's Northwest Extension project was not awarded a grant in
the American Rescue Plan (Public Law 117-2) because it had not
yet signed a FFGA. Additionally, the Committee recognizes that
this project was significantly impacted by FTA's 2018 changes
with respect to risk assessments and estimates of cost
probability thresholds. As a result of these dual adverse
impacts on the Northwest Extensions project, the Committee
encourages FTA to work with Valley Metro to assist the project
using all existing flexibilities, including, but not limited
to, deferred local share.
Sacramento, California.--The Committee encourages all
parties to the downtown streetcar project in Sacramento,
California, including, but not limited to, the cities of
Sacramento and West Sacramento and FTA to work proactively and
expeditiously towards a project agreement and directs FTA to
extend the availability of allocated funds for one year in
order to facilitate the completion of an agreement.
Equity and the Federal share.--The Committee remains
concerned that areas with historic transportation inequities
may need a relatively larger federal share of project costs
than areas with fewer historical inequities. The Committee
encourages FTA to consider the maximum-federal cost share for
such communities, especially when proposed projects will
alleviate road congestion, facilitate sea-level resiliency, and
mitigate impacts of climate change or reduce emissions.
Locally Preferred Alternative.--The Committee recognizes
the regional importance of the Riverview Modern Streetcar
project, a 12-mile planned transportation connection between
neighborhoods and anchor destinations and employers in downtown
Saint Paul, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and the
Mall of America. This planned modern streetcar line is planned
to run generally along State Highway 5 (West 7th Street) and
will provide a higher capacity with frequent service in an area
with growing population and employment, and a transit reliant
population that is lacking accessible and dependable service.
Modern streetcar can also be an incentive for reinvestment and
economic development. Modern streetcar, running generally along
State Highway 5 (West 7th Street), was chosen as the Locally
Preferred alternative by the Riverview Policy Advisory
Committee in December 2017 after analyzing various routes and
transit modes for more than three years. The Committee
encourages the Federal Transit Administration to continue
working with the regional MPO to advance Riverview Modern
Streetcar project through its next planning stage, the
Engineering and Pre-Environmental Phase of work, which began in
October 2020 and will continue through 2023.

This program provides grants to the Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Authority (WMATA) for capital investment and asset
rehabilitation activities as authorized by the Passenger Rail
Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA) of 2008 (P.L. 110-432).
These funds, along with funds provided under FTA's core formula
programs, will help return the existing system to a state of
good repair and improve the safety and reliability of service.
Federal funds provided under this account are matched dollar-
for-dollar by Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia
in equal proportions.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee provides $150,000,000 for WMATA for critical
capital and safety improvements. PRIIA created a successful
Federal-state partnership under which the three WMATA
jurisdictions collectively match this funding with another
$150,000,000 each year. This funding will maintain the Federal
government's commitment to a safe and reliable public
transportation system for the National Capital Region.
Cybersecurity.--The Committee remains concerned that as
systems for controlling various modes of transportation become
more complex, the security of transportation could be
compromised. As a result, the Committee again includes
direction that WMATA work with the Secretary of Transportation
and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency within
the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that the agency
is complying with best practices for the procurement of
Industrial Control Systems. The Committee directs WMATA to
include analysis of Internet of Things (IoT) and unknown and
unauthorized devices in its cybersecurity plan.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION
(INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)
Section 160 exempts previously made transit obligations
from limitations on obligations.
Section 161 allows funds appropriated for capital
investment grants and bus and bus facilities not obligated by
September 30, 2025, plus other recoveries, to be available for
other projects under 49 U.S.C. 5309.
Section 162 allows for the transfer of prior year
appropriations from older accounts to be merged into new
accounts with similar, current activities.
Section 163 prohibits the enforcement of the Rostenkowski
Test.
Section 164 allows certain recipients of Low and No
Emission Bus Grants to continue to partner with non-profits and
companies as part of their grant applications.
Section 165 prohibits the use of funds to impede or hinder
project advancement or approval for any project seeking a
Federal contribution from the Capital Investment Grants program
of greater than 40 percent of project costs.
Section 166 rescinds unobligated amounts made available in
prior fiscal years from the formula grants account.

The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway navigation system is a
binational, 15-lock system jointly operated by the Great Lakes
St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (GLS) and its
Canadian counterpart, the Canadian St. Lawrence Seaway
Management Corporation. The GLS was established by the St.
Lawrence Seaway Act of 1954, is a wholly owned government
corporation, and an operating administration of the Department
of Transportation. The GLS is charged with operating and
maintaining the U.S. portion of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence
Seaway, which includes the two U.S. locks in Massena, New York,
vessel traffic control in portions of the St. Lawrence River
and Lake Ontario, and trade development functions to enhance
the utilization of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway. The
Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-662)
authorized the harbor maintenance trust fund as a source of
appropriations for the GLS operations and maintenance.
Additionally, the GLS generates non-Federal revenues which can
be used for operations and maintenance.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $40,000,000 to fund
the operations, maintenance, and capital infrastructure
activities of the GLS. Of the total funds provided, not more
than $14,500,000 is for the seaway infrastructure program. In
addition, the Act allows the GLS to use $1,500,000 in prior
year unobligated balances for operations and maintenance of the
seaway international bridge.
Market development and promotion.--The Committee provides
$4,000,000 for market development and promotion of the Great
Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway navigation system, to be carried out
in cooperation with system stakeholders. These resources may be
used to enhance and expand existing marketing efforts, conduct
market research, and support marketing initiatives and trade
promotion with the goal of growing the volume of waterborne
commerce and passenger cruise activity on the system. The
Committee understands that the GLS is developing a strategic
plan for the $4,000,000 provided for trade and economic
development activities in the Further Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-94) and the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) and has taken several
steps to utilize this funding in support of the system,
including establishing a dedicated Office of Trade and Economic
Development. The Committee notes with disappointment that the
GLS has not completed the strategic plan as required by House
Report 116-452 and directs the GLS to deliver the strategic
plan to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no
later than 30 days after enactment of this Act. Further, the
Committee directs the GLS to provide regular updates to the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its progress
implementing the strategic plan and to continue to coordinate
with system stakeholders.
Harmonization of navigation season.--On March 22, 2021, the
GLS and the Canadian St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation
marked the opening of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway's
63rd navigation season. The Committee notes that the annual
opening and closure dates of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence
Seaway are not synchronized with other assets on the Great
Lakes navigation system such as the soo locks, which are
operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The
Committee directs the GLS, in consultation with the USACE, to
identify the opportunities and challenges with coordinating the
opening and closing of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway and
soo locks. The Committee directs the GLS to brief the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 180 days
after enactment of this Act on its findings.
Maritime Administration
The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is responsible for
strengthening the U.S. maritime industry in support of the
nation's security and economic needs, as authorized by the
Merchant Marine Act of 1936 (P.L. 74-835). MARAD's mission is
to promote the development and maintenance of a U.S. merchant
marine sufficient to carry the nation's waterborne domestic
commerce and a substantial portion of its waterborne foreign
commerce, and to serve as a naval and military auxiliary in
time of war or national emergency.
MARAD, working with the Department of Defense (DOD),
provides a seamless, time-phased transition from peacetime to
wartime operations, while balancing the defense and commercial
elements of the maritime transportation system. MARAD also
manages the maritime security program, the cable security fleet
program, the voluntary intermodal sealift agreement program,
and the ready reserve force, which assures DOD access to
commercial and strategic sealift and associated intermodal
capability. Further, MARAD's education and training programs
through the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and six state maritime
academies help develop skilled U.S. merchant marine officers.

MARAD reorganization.--The Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2021 (P.L. 116-260) approved a non-budgetary organizational
realignment for two new offices within the MARAD headquarters
operations program activity as proposed in the fiscal year 2021
budget request. The Committee notes that MARAD has paused the
implementation of these changes to MARAD's organizational
structure to enable departmental and MARAD leadership to review
and assess the realignment. The Committee directs MARAD to
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations upon
the completion of this review. Should the review result in
MARAD not completing the realignment as previously approved or
other organizational changes within the MARAD headquarters
operations program activity, the Committee directs MARAD to
request approval from the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations through the process outlined in section 405 of
this Act.
MARAD staffing.--The Committee continues to require MARAD
to submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
information on the number of vacancies at MARAD headquarters
and regional offices, and the duties associated with each
vacancy concurrent with the fiscal year 2023 budget
justification.
Emissions reduction.--The U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency estimates that 39,000,000 people across the country live
in close proximity to ports. These communities are particularly
susceptible to air pollution from mobile emission sources in
and around ports, including trucks, locomotives, harbor craft
like tugboats, ocean going vessels, and non-road vehicles,
engines, and equipment used in support of port operations. The
Committee supports the Department's efforts to mitigate and
reduce the environmental impacts of the maritime sector through
the maritime environmental and technical assistance (META),
America's marine highway, and port infrastructure development
programs. To assist the META program in testing, evaluating,
and demonstrating alternative energy technologies, alternative
and renewable fuels, energy conservation technologies or
methods, and more, the Committee provides not less than
$4,000,000 for activities that reduce vessel and port air
emissions. In addition, the Act requires the Secretary to give
preference to projects that reduce air emissions and vehicle
miles traveled when awarding grants through the America's
marine highway program and expands project eligibility for the
port infrastructure development program for activities that
reduce port air emissions and environmental impacts.
Sexual assault and sexual harassment at USMMA.--The USMMA
is required to conduct a survey on sexual harassment and sexual
assault every other year. The most recent survey was conducted
with students in 2018 and the Final 2017-2018 Academic Year
Biennial Survey and Report on Sexual Harassment and Sexual
Assault at the United States Merchant Marine Academy was
transmitted to Congress on December 23, 2020. The final report
found that 10.6 percent of women and 1.4 percent of men
experienced at least one incident of unwanted sexual contact,
which represents a 7.8 percent decrease for women and a 0.6
percent increase for men when compared to the 2015-2016
academic year. The Committee understands that the next survey
scheduled for March 2020 for the 2019-2020 academic year was
not conducted due to the COVID-19 pandemic and that a mixed
methods study will be conducted in 2021 through a virtual
survey and virtual focus group sessions for the 2020-2021
academic year. The Committee directs MARAD to work with the
USMMA to ensure the preliminary and final report for the 2020-
2021 academic year are completed in a timely manner as these
surveys and accompanying analysis are important tools in
determining the effectiveness of the policies, training, and
procedures the USMMA has put into place to address sexual
harassment and sexual assault and to improve the culture at the
USMMA. Further, the Committee directs the USMMA to continue to
fully staff the Sexual Assault/Sexual Harassment Prevention and
Response Office.
According to the final report for the 2017-2018 academic
year the majority of unwanted sexual contact experiences for
women, at 66 percent, and men, at 42 percent, took place on the
USMMA campus. These findings underscore the importance of the
Department complying with the Further Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-94) and John S. McCain
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (P.L.
115-232). P.L. 116-94 directs the Secretary to seek concurrent
criminal jurisdiction over the USMMA campus, as authorized by
section 3506 of P.L. 115-232, which would allow local law
enforcement to prosecute sexual assault incidents that occur on
the USMMA campus. The Committee understands that MARAD is
working to implement this direction, including engaging with
local authorities and coordinating with other Federal agencies,
and plans to engage the USMMA community. The Committee directs
MARAD to continue these efforts and to brief the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations on its progress on a
quarterly basis until the Department files a notice of
jurisdictional relinquishment in order to establish concurrent
criminal jurisdiction with the State of New York.
Finally, the Committee notes that while the final report
for the 2017-2018 academic year found a reduction in the
unwanted sexual contact rate experienced by women on sea duty,
the sea year experience continues to be a source of unwanted
sexual contact. Of the women who experienced unwanted sexual
contact, 24 percent indicated that it occurred during maritime
duty and 23 percent indicated that it occurred during the
summer experience, training, or sea duty. Further, two of the
seven unrestricted reports of sexual assault made to the USMMA
in the 2017-2018 academic year occurred while at sea and all
three unrestricted reports of sexual assault in the 2018-2019
academic year occurred while at sea. MARAD's shipboard climate
compliance team (SCCT) works to ensure commercial shipping
companies provide a safe environment for students during sea
year. Companies must meet the conditions outlined in the SCCT
sea year eligibility requirements document to be sea year
eligible, the MARAD SCCT conducts an annual reaffirmation
process with companies to certify continued compliance with
crew training, policy requirements, and student onboarding
processes, and before COVID-19 academy training representatives
conducted ship visits. The Committee was disappointed to learn
that the MARAD SCCT does not have procedures in place to
reevaluate a company's compliance when a restricted or
unrestricted report of sexual assault or sexual harassment is
made to the USMMA by students while at sea. Considering the
continued experiences of students during sea year, the
Committee directs MARAD to review current requirements for sea
year eligibility to determine whether additional steps should
be taken by companies when a restricted or unrestricted report
of sexual assault or sexual harassment is made by students
while at sea. As the final report for the 2017-2018 academic
year highlights, the USMMA must continue to focus on ``working
with the maritime industry to eliminate hazing, bullying,
coercion, sexual assault and sexual harassment from the
shipboard living and working environment.''
USMMA long range planning strategy (LRPS).--The Committee
understands that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed a
report for the USMMA which is being used to inform a master
installation plan, now known as the USMMA LRPS, to modernize
the USMMA's 1940s era academic and training facilities. The
USMMA LRPS is expected to identify near- and long-term new
facilities needed for the USMMA to remain a premier academic
and maritime training institution. The Committee notes that the
capital improvement program (CIP) has approximately $73,000,000
in prior year unobligated balances as of June 2021. While this
funding has been assigned to nearly 20 CIP projects, the
Committee understands that the USMMA may reprioritize current
CIP projects and realign the unobligated balances based on the
results of the USMMA LRPS. The Committee eagerly awaits the
completion of the USMMA LRPS, which is expected to be in fiscal
year 2021, and directs MARAD to brief the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations upon its completion. The Committee
provides $5,000,000 through the CIP to assist the USMMA in its
initial implementation of the USMMA LRPS in fiscal year 2022,
which could include planning, design, engineering, and
construction activities. Further, should the USMMA determine
that the USMMA LRPS requires the realignment of unobligated
balances in the CIP, the Committee directs MARAD to request
approval from the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
through the process outlined in section 405 of this Act.
Shipyards.--Due to the lack of available private shipyard
facilities and the extended time to relocate vessels and
assets, there is a backlog of maintenance, repair, and
modernization projects which may impair maritime commerce and
national security. To avoid displacement, increased costs, and
impacts on East Coast and West Coast based vessels and
personnel, the Committee encourages MARAD to continue utilizing
privately owned shipyards for national defense reserve fleet
and ready reserve force maintenance, repair, and modernization.
The Committee also encourages MARAD to compile a list of
available shipyards and to share such a list with other
government partners.
Domestic maritime centers of excellence (DMCOEs).--Section
3507 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2018 (P.L. 115-91) authorized the Department to designate
community and technical colleges or maritime training centers
as DMCOEs and to enter into cooperative agreements with DMCOEs
to support maritime workforce training and education. The
Committee notes that MARAD published a final policy (85 FR
13231) for this voluntary program in March 2020, began
accepting applications from eligible and qualified institutions
for DMCOE designations in October 2020, and announced the
selection of the first DMCOEs in May 2021, designating 27
centers of excellence for domestic maritime workforce training
and education. MARAD may use up to $2,000,000 of the funding
provided to the MARAD headquarters operations program activity
under this heading to assist DMCOEs, who have entered into a
cooperative agreement with MARAD, with activities outlined in
the final policy (85 FR 13231).
America's supply chains.--The Committee notes that
executive order 14017 issued on February 24, 2021 initiated a
comprehensive review of U.S. supply chains and directed Federal
departments and agencies to identify opportunities to enhance
the resilience and security of supply chains. As required by
the executive order, DOT is conducting a review on supply
chains for the transportation industrial base. As part of this
review, DOT as well as the Departments of Defense, Health and
Human Services, Commerce, Homeland Security, Energy, and
Agriculture are to assess the role of transportation systems in
supporting supply chains and the risks associated with those
transportation systems. The Committee understands that DOT
intends to review the transportation systems which support the
export and import of goods through a complex system of ocean
carriers, ports, terminal operators, freight rail, trucking,
and more; assess the primary causes of and risks associated
with congestion, delays, and bottlenecks within these
transportation systems; consult with stakeholders; and provide
policy recommendations, including executive, legislative, or
regulatory changes. The Committee directs DOT to submit the
report required by executive order 14017 to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations, the House Transportation
and Infrastructure Committee, and the Senate Committee on
Commerce, Science, and Transportation upon its completion.

National security multi-mission vessel (NSMV) program.--The
NSMV will serve as a critical educational and training platform
for the next generation of mariners, replacing five aging SMA
training vessels while supporting Federal response capabilities
for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. In May 2019,
MARAD selected a vessel construction manager to use commercial
practices to contract with a single shipyard to construct up to
five NSMVs according to MARAD specified designs, conduct
oversight and management of vessel construction, and deliver
the vessels to MARAD. In April 2020, the vessel construction
manager selected a shipyard and MARAD authorized construction
of the first two vessels. Following the enactment of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260), MARAD
authorized construction of the third and fourth vessels. The
Committee provides $315,600,000 for the NSMV program to fully
fund the fifth and final vessel.
The Committee notes that a March 2021 audit conducted by
the DOT OIG found that MARAD's overall management of the NSMV
program risks is inadequate; MARAD relies upon the periodic
risk assessments and quarterly updates from the vessel
construction manager; and MARAD had not reviewed complete
versions of three required oversight plans from the vessel
construction manager that detail plans for its management and
oversight of NSMV design and construction. The DOT OIG
recommended that MARAD document and implement a risk-based
management process to analyze program risk, which includes
monitoring, tracking, and updating risks over the life of the
program, and to obtain, review, and approve complete versions
of the three oversight plans before the start of full-scale
vessel construction. The Committee is pleased that MARAD has
taken these recommendations seriously and has implemented both
recommendations. Full-scale vessel construction of the first
NSMV began in April 2021, and it is scheduled for delivery in
April 2023. The Committee directs MARAD to conduct vigorous
oversight of the vessel construction manager and to follow the
risk-based management process developed as a result of the DOT
OIG audit in order to ensure the NSMVs are delivered on budget
and on time. Further, the Committee directs MARAD to continue
to provide briefings to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on the status of the NSMV program on a quarterly
basis, and to provide immediate notification of any substantial
risks to the construction schedule or cost.
The Committee understands that MARAD is working with the
SMAs to ensure their facilities are properly prepared for the
delivery and use of the NSMVs, including conducting assessments
of the SMAs' shore-side infrastructure. The Committee
recognizes that upgrading shore-side infrastructure, such as
piers, mooring improvements, dredging, and connections to power
and other utilities, comes at a significant cost to SMAs.
Therefore, the Committee provides $5,000,000 for the NSMV
program to assist SMAs in making such shore-side infrastructure
improvements.
ASSISTANCE TO SMALL SHIPYARDS
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $20,000,000

As authorized under section 54101 of title 46, United
States Code, the assistance to small shipyards program provides
grants, loans, and loan guarantees to small shipyards for
capital improvements and maritime training programs.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $20,000,000 for the
assistance to small shipyards program.
SHIP DISPOSAL
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $4,200,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 10,000,000

Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. -2,492,000
MARAD serves as the Federal government's disposal agent for
government-owned merchant vessels weighing 1,500 gross tons or
more. The ship disposal program provides resources to dispose
of obsolete merchant-type vessels in the national defense
reserve fleet. These vessels pose a significant environmental
threat due to the presence of hazardous substances such as
asbestos and solid and liquid polychlorinated biphenyls.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $7,508,000 for the
ship disposal program. Of the total funds provided, $3,000,000
is for maintaining the NS Savannah in protective storage in
accordance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's license
requirements while it is being disposed.
National maritime heritage grants program.--When MARAD
completes the sale of obsolete vessels through the ship
disposal program, the receipts from the sales are deposited
into the vessel operations revolving fund (VORF). MARAD
distributes funding from the VORF according to the authorized
purposes and allocations in section 308704 of title 54, United
States Code, when vessel sale proceeds are no longer subject to
claims and the recycling contract is closed. The National
Maritime Heritage Act established the national maritime
heritage grants program, which receives a portion of such
funds. The Committee understands that in recent years the
proceeds from such sales have been insufficient for the
National Park Service (NPS) to conduct an annual grant cycle
for the national maritime heritage grants program. The
Committee further notes that the NPS is expected to accept
proposals for the next round of grants in 2021. The Committee
directs MARAD to continue to work with the NPS to ensure that
the portion of the VORF allocated for the national maritime
heritage grants program under section 308704(b)(1)(A) of title
54, United States Code, is distributed in a timely fashion.

The port infrastructure development program is authorized
by section 50302(c) of title 46, United States Code, to improve
port facilities and the transportation networks and flows of
cargo in, around, and through ports. Port authorities, states
and local governments, tribal governments, publicly chartered
entities, and special purpose districts with a transportation
function are eligible to apply for this competitive grant
program.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $300,000,000 for the
port infrastructure development program. The Act expands
project eligibility for activities that reduce port air
emissions and environmental impacts and improve natural
disaster preparedness and resiliency. The Committee directs
MARAD to follow the eligibility requirements enumerated in this
Act.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION--MARITIME ADMINISTRATION
Section 170 authorizes MARAD to furnish utilities and
services and to make necessary repairs in connection with any
lease, contract, or occupancy involving government property
under control of MARAD and allows payments received to be
credited to the treasury and to remain available until
expended.
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA) administers nationwide safety programs designed to
protect the public and the environment from risks inherent in
the commercial transportation of hazardous materials by
pipeline, air, rail, vessel, and highway. Many of these
materials are essential to the national economy. PHMSA's
highest priority is safety, and it uses safety management
principles and security assessments to promote the safe
transport of hazardous materials and the security of the
nation's pipelines, underground natural gas storage facilities,
and liquefied natural gas facilities.

communities as authorized by section 60130 of title 49, Untied
States Code, and $2,500,000 shall be for emergency response
grants as authorized by section 60125(b) of title 49, United
States Code.
Pipeline safety rulemaking.--Congress required PHMSA to
establish regulations on the use of automatic and remote-
controlled shut-off valves on transmission pipeline facilities
and hazardous liquid pipeline facilities leak detection systems
in the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation
Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-90). PHMSA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking on Pipeline Safety: Valve Installation and Minimum
Rupture Detection Standards on February 6, 2020 to address
these overdue Congressional mandates. The public comment period
closed on April 6, 2020 and PHMSA facilitated meetings with the
gas pipeline advisory committee and the liquid pipeline
advisory committee in July 2020. While the Committee
understands PHMSA is working diligently to consider comments
and complete a final rule, the Committee is disappointed that
PHMSA did not issue a final rule by December 20, 2020 as
required by the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020
(P.L. 116-94) and subsequently did not issue a final rule by
June 25, 2021 after Congress provided the agency more time to
complete its work in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021
(P.L. 116-260). Therefore, the Act directs PHMSA to issue a
final rule on this matter not later than 90 days after the date
of enactment of this Act and reduces the funding provided to
the operational expenses account by $5,000 per day for each day
that a final rule has not been issued following the expiration
of such 90 day period.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SAFETY
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $62,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 69,029,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 66,391,500
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +4,391,500
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. -2,637,500
The hazardous materials safety account advances the safe
and secure transport of hazardous materials in commerce by air,
highway, rail, and vessel. PHMSA evaluates hazardous materials
safety risks, develops and enforces regulations for
transporting hazardous materials, educates shippers and
carriers, investigates hazardous materials incidents and
failures, conducts research, and provides grants to improve
emergency response to transportation incidents involving
hazardous materials.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $66,391,500 for the
hazardous materials safety account. Of the total funds
provided, $1,000,000 shall be for community safety grants as
authorized by section 5107(i) of title 49, United States Code,
and $2,500,000 shall be for the state hazardous materials
safety inspection program. In addition, this funding level
supports PHMSA's existing hazardous materials safety program,
including the safe transportation of energy products.
Staffing and outreach activities.--The Committee
recommendation provides funding for a total of 208 full-time
positions to support the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety,
which consists of 78 inspectors and 130 safety program,
scientific, and safety standard development professionals.
PHMSA's hazardous materials safety assistance team (HMSAT)
conducts outreach, technical assistance, communication, and
education on hazardous materials regulations and compliance
with local and state governments, as well as businesses. While
the Committee appreciates PHMSA's proposal to increase its
outreach capabilities to assist more communities and improve
hazardous materials transportation planning and emergency
response plans, increasing the HMSAT by 400 percent from five
to 25 full-time positions in one fiscal year is too ambitious.
The Committee recommendation provides $537,500 to add five
full-time positions to the HMSAT, which would result in 10
full-time positions on the HMSAT, two in each of PHMSA's five
regional offices.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) by rail.--The Committee remains
concerned that the transportation of LNG by rail poses new and
different risks to the public, environment, and property. The
Committee is pleased that PHMSA has, in accordance with the
directives in executive order 13990 issued on January 20, 2021,
reviewed the final rule, which was issued on July 24, 2020 and
allowed the bulk transportation of LNG by rail in DOT-113 rail
tank cars. The Committee understands that PHMSA intends to
issue a notice of proposed rulemaking to suspend the
authorization for the transportation of LNG by rail pending
completion of a companion rulemaking. The companion rulemaking
PHMSA intends to issue would amend the hazardous materials
regulations governing the transportation of LNG in rail tank
cars in order to incorporate ongoing research efforts,
collaboration with other agencies, and external technical
experts; respond to executive order 13990; and provide
additional opportunities for stakeholder input.
The Committee further understands that PHMSA and FRA
continue to actively conduct research and development projects
relating to the transportation of LNG in rail tank cars and the
use of LNG as a fuel for locomotives. These activities are
expected to continue through July 2023 and additional research
projects may be initiated in fiscal year 2022. The Committee
supports PHMSA and FRA continuing its work on these ongoing and
future research projects.
In addition, PHMSA entered into an agreement in April 2020
with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and
Medicine to conduct an independent study by an expert panel of
the Transportation Research Board (TRB) on the transportation
of LNG in rail tank cars as required by the Further
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-94). TRB is
conducting this study in two phases. In phase 1, the expert
panel reviewed completed, ongoing, and planned PHMSA and FRA
research, testing, and data analysis tasks relating to the
transportation of LNG in rail tank cars, releasing a report on
June 14, 2021. The expert panel found that while the PHMSA-FRA
work is comprehensive as planned, there are areas ``where more
complete treatment is warranted, and where the basis for
choices about the structure and execution of tasks . . . has
not been made sufficiently clear to assess the applicability
and validity of the results.'' Further, the expert panel made
recommendations on planned tasks related to LNG safety that
have not been completed, including changes to portable tank
fire testing, updates to modeling for worst-case scenarios, and
adding loading and unloading operations and train assembly and
classification activities to the assessment of the risk of LNG
by rail. The Committee directs PHMSA to implement the expert
panel's recommendations for the planned or ongoing work and to
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on
any limitations which would prevent PHMSA from implementing
such recommendations. Further, the Committee directs PHMSA to
establish a framework for integrating and reporting the results
of the LNG by rail tasks. On June 7, 2021, TRB initiated phase
2 in which the expert panel will gather and analyze information
relating to the transportation of LNG in rail tank cars,
including information on methods used to transport LNG by other
modes, train operational controls, and emergency response
planning. The Committee understands that the transportation of
LNG in rail tank cars is likely to occur in unit trains and
encourages the TRB expert panel to include a safety analysis of
such bulk shipments as part of its phase 2 work. The Committee
reminds PHMSA of the requirement in House Report 116-452 to
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no
later than 30 days after TRB completes phase 2 on actions the
agency plans to take in response to the results of phase 2. The
Committee continues to assert that the ongoing research
projects and TRB study should inform the Department's decision-
making and rulemaking on this matter.
Safe transportation of energy products.--The Committee
continues to closely monitor PHMSA's efforts to improve the
safety of transporting class 3 flammable liquids, including
crude oil and ethanol, by rail. The Fixing America's Surface
Transportation (FAST) Act (P.L. 114-94) established a schedule
to phase-out certain rail tank cars used to transport class 3
flammable liquids. In September 2020, the Bureau of
Transportation Statistics reported that 48 percent of all rail
tank cars transporting class 3 flammable liquids in 2019 met
the new safety requirements (DOT-117s), which is a 14 percent
increase over 2018. In comparison, in 2015 when the FAST Act
was enacted, DOT-117 rail tank cars made up just two percent of
all tank cars transporting class 3 flammable liquids. The
Committee continues to encourage the Department to work with
industry to ensure continued progress on the tank car phaseout,
and if possible, accelerate the phaseout timeline.
Inland ports of entry.--The Committee directs PHMSA to
continue to work with local governments and their Mexico
counterparts at international inland ports of entry with a high
volume of hazardous materials crossing the border to reduce the
risk associated with transporting and storing hazardous
materials and to enhance the capacity of local officials in
dealing with the threat of hazardous materials incidents.

PHMSA oversees the safety, security, and environmental
protection of approximately 2,800,000 miles of pipelines, 163
liquefied natural gas facilities, and 400 underground natural
gas storage facilities through analysis of data, damage
prevention, education and training, development and enforcement
of regulations and policies, research and development, grants
for safety programs, and emergency planning and response to
accidents. The pipeline safety program is responsible for a
national regulatory program to protect the public against the
risks to life and property in the transportation of natural
gas, petroleum, and other hazardous materials by pipeline and
facilities that liquefy natural gas and store natural gas
underground.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $182,650,000 for the
pipeline safety account to continue pipeline safety operations,
research and development, and grants. Of the total funds
provided, $27,650,000 is from the oil spill liability trust
fund, $146,600,000 is from the pipeline safety fund, $400,000
is from the liquefied natural gas siting account within the
pipeline safety fund, and $8,000,000 is from the underground
natural gas storage facility safety account within the pipeline
safety fund. The following table provides funding levels for
activities within this account.

Research and development.--Between 2001 and 2020, PHMSA
reported 12,507 pipeline incidents, which resulted in 283
deaths, 1,180 injuries, and $9,949,823,849 in reported damages.
Over this 20-year time frame an average of 625 incidents
occurred each year. Pipeline research and development plays a
vital role in improving pipeline safety, reducing the
environmental impacts of pipeline failures, and increasing the
reliability of the nation's pipeline system through advancing
new, near-term solutions. While the Committee supports PHMSA's
pipeline research and development program and appreciates the
increased level of detail provided by PHMSA on these activities
in the fiscal year 2022 budget justification, the Committee
remains concerned with the lack of clarity and transparency of
PHMSA's research and development program and priorities. The
Committee notes that the most recently available Pipeline
Safety Research and Development Five-Year Program Plan is for
fiscal years 2016 to 2020 and the most recent Pipeline Safety
Research and Development Biennial Update Report is for fiscal
years 2017 and 2018. Further, of the $42,000,000 provided for
pipeline research and development in fiscal years 2019, 2020,
and 2021, PHMSA had only awarded or committed about half--
$23,110,016--to general research projects and the competitive
academic agreement program as of May 31, 2021. The Committee
reminds PHMSA of the requirement in the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) to submit an updated
research plan to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations and directs PHMSA to brief the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations on this plan no later than 30 days
after its completion. Further, until the Committee has greater
transparency and understanding of PHMSA's research plan,
objectives, and priorities, PHMSA shall only use the
$13,000,000 in pipeline research and development provided in
the Committee recommendation for projects which further the six
programmatic elements in the Pipeline Safety Research and
Development Five-Year Program Plan issued in October 2017,
which includes threat prevention; leak detection; anomaly
detection and characterization; anomaly remediation and repair;
design, materials, and welding/joining; and LNG and underground
natural gas storage. In addition, the Committee directs PHMSA
to use the pipeline research and development unobligated
balances from fiscal years 2019, 2020, and 2021 to advance
these same six programmatic elements. The Committee notes that
this direction does not preclude PHMSA from supporting
university and small business research projects advancing these
six programmatic elements through the competitive academic
agreement program and the small business innovative research
program.
Staffing and hiring plans.--The Committee recommendation
provides funding for a total of 337 full-time positions to
support the Office of Pipeline Safety, which consists of 235
inspection and enforcement staff, including the 17 additional
inspection and enforcement staff that were mandated by the
PIPES Act of 2020 (division R of P.L. 116-260), and 102 safety
professionals, including the eight additional regulatory
positions that were mandated by the same Act. The Committee
notes that according to the Report to Congress on the Office of
Pipeline Safety FY 2020 Hiring Actuals and FY 2021 Hiring Plan,
PHMSA successfully increased the Office of Pipeline Safety
full-time positions to 305 by September 30, 2020, the highest
staffing level in three fiscal years. Despite this improvement
and recognizing the hiring PHMSA must complete in fiscal year
2022 to meet the requirements in the PIPES Act of 2020, the
Committee remains concerned with PHMSA's ability to fill
vacancies and retain staff due in part to competition from the
private sector. The PIPES Act of 2020 directed PHMSA to use
incentives, such as special pay rates, repayment of student
loans, tuition assistance, and other recruitment incentives, to
recruit and retain a qualified pipeline workforce, including
inspection and enforcement staff and attorneys and other
subject matter experts in the Office of Pipeline Safety. The
Committee recommendation supports PHMSA's proposal in the
budget request to utilize $2,500,000 in fiscal year 2022 to
recruit and retain qualified inspectors and engineers through
such incentives. Further, the Committee directs PHMSA to
provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations no later than 120 days after enactment of this
Act detailing (1) staffing and hiring plans for fiscal year
2022, (2) information on the actual turnover and hiring in
fiscal year 2021, and (3) outcomes for the workforce retention
and recruitment strategies PHMSA implemented or continued in
fiscal year 2021 as outlined in the fiscal year 2021 hiring
plan which was included in the Report to Congress on the Office
of Pipeline Safety FY 2020 Hiring Actuals and FY 2021 Hiring
Plan.

implement a reimbursable emergency preparedness grants program;
(2) monitor public sector emergency response training and
planning and provide technical assistance to states, political
subdivisions, and tribal governments; and (3) develop and
periodically update a mandatory training curriculum for
emergency responders.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $28,318,000 for the
emergency preparedness grants account.
Energy products training.--The Committee recognizes the
important role the emergency preparedness grants program plays
in training local emergency responders. The Committee directs
PHMSA to continue to enhance its training curriculum for local
emergency responders, including response activities for crude
oil, ethanol, and other flammable liquids transported by rail,
loading and unloading at LNG facilities, and the transportation
of LNG in rail tank cars.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) was established in
1978 to provide an objective and independent organization that
would be more effective in: (1) preventing and detecting fraud,
waste, and abuse in departmental programs and operations; and
(2) providing a means of keeping the Secretary of
Transportation and the Congress fully and currently informed of
problems and deficiencies in the administration of such
programs and operations. According to the authorizing
legislation, the Inspector General is to report dually to the
Secretary of Transportation and to the Congress.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $103,150,000 for the Office of
Inspector General.
Audit reports.--The Committee directs the OIG to continue
transmitting all audit reports to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations immediately after they are issued,
and to continue to make the Committee aware immediately of any
review that recommends cancellation or modifications to any
major acquisition project or grant, or which recommends
significant budgetary savings. The OIG is also directed to
withhold from public distribution for a period of 15 days, any
final audit or investigative report that was requested by the
House or Senate Committees on Appropriations.
Safety improvements.--The Committee notes that some transit
agencies use a private, independent safety monitor, whereas
others use public entities to serve as the state safety
oversight body. The Committee directs the OIG to analyze the
differences in safety and financial management between these
approaches. The Committee directs the OIG to include the
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority in this
analysis.
General Provisions--Department of Transportation
Section 180 provides authorization for DOT to maintain and
operate aircraft, hire passenger motor vehicles and aircraft,
purchase liability insurance, pay for uniforms, and purchase
and operate unmanned aircraft systems.
Section 181 limits appropriations for services authorized
by section 3109 of title 5, United States Code, up to the rate
permitted for an executive level IV.
Section 182 prohibits recipients of funds in this Act from
disseminating personal information obtained by state DMVs in
connection to motor vehicle records with an exception.
Section 183 prohibits funds in this Act for salaries and
expenses of more than 125 political and presidential appointees

to specific accounts within the agencies with an exception for
state rail safety inspectors participating in training.
Section 185 prohibits DOT from using funds to make a loan,
loan guarantee, line of credit, letter of intent, Federally
funded cooperative agreement, full funding grant agreement, or
discretionary grant unless DOT gives a 3-day advance notice to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. The
provision requires DOT to provide a comprehensive list of all
such loans, loan guarantees, lines of credit, letters of
intent, Federally funded cooperative agreements, full funding
grant agreements, and discretionary grants that will be
announced with a 3-day advance notice to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations. The provision also requires
concurrent notice of any ``quick release'' of funds from FHWA's
emergency relief program, and prohibits notifications from
involving funds not available for obligation.
Section 186 allows funds received from rebates, refunds,
and similar sources to be credited to appropriations of DOT.
Section 187 requires reprogramming actions to be approved
or denied by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations,

The Executive Offices (EO) account funds the salaries and
expenses for the leadership and executive management offices of
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Specifically, these offices are the Office of the Secretary,
the Office of the Deputy Secretary, the Office of Congressional
and Intergovernmental Relations, the Office of Public Affairs,
the Office of Adjudicatory Services, the Office of Small and
Disadvantaged Business Utilization, and the Center for Faith-
Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee provides $15,000,000 for the Executive
Offices for fiscal year 2022.
Collaboration with Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS).--The Committee recognizes that a number of Department
programs have an impact in improving health outcomes. The
Committee is aware that the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019
(P.L. 115-245) encouraged HHS to devise a strategy on how to
construct a decision-support tool that can contribute to
community-participatory health prevention efforts. The
Committee is interested in whether HUD can collaborate with HHS
in such a decision support tool to assess the value of
departmental investments. Within 90 days of enactment of this
Act, the Committee directs the Department to report to the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the
feasibility of a collaboration with HHS to support a local
decision support tool. Furthermore, the Committee directs the
Department to provide a report within 180 days of enactment of
this Act on ways it can further collaborate and coordinate with
HHS and other government agencies, such as the Departments of
Transportation, Veterans Affairs, and Labor, on shared goals
and values.
Violence Against Women Act.--The Committee remains
concerned about the Department's implementation of its
responsibilities under the Violence Against Women Act, but is
pleased with the establishment of a position for a Violence
Against Women Act Director within the Office of the Secretary
and encourages the Department to fill it expeditiously. In
addition, the Committee reiterates the direction in House
Report 116-452 for the Department to provide the Committee with
information regarding the status of implementation of housing
protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, and stalking outlined in 34 U.S.C. 12491,
including notification requirements, confidentiality
requirements, and emergency transfers. The Department is also
directed to provide information about the extent to which
public housing agencies and owners have adopted emergency
transfer policies since the publication of the Department's
model emergency transfer plan, and the effectiveness of those
emergency transfer policies in allowing victims to access safe
housing. The Committee directs the Department to provide a
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on
this information within 90 days of enactment of this Act.
Energy codes.--The Committee is concerned the Department
has yet to update minimum energy efficiency standards, as
required under 42 U.S.C. 12709, since the 2009 International
Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007.
Further, the Committee notes the findings of the Department of
Energy reveal that more recent model codes reduce energy use by
more than 25 percent and are cost effective. The Committee
urges the Department to take immediate steps to update the
standards as required under the law, which will reduce
operating expenses for HUD owned and subsidized properties.
Efficient, resilient, and healthy housing.--The Committee
is aware that millions of American households experienced
energy insecurity last year, unable to pay an energy bill.
Housing energy consumption can be significantly and
successfully reduced by increasing energy efficiency through
methods such as improved envelopes, more efficient HVAC
systems, efficient lighting and appliances, as well as solar
and renewable energy systems and building electrification. The
Committee directs the Secretary to evaluate such measures to
identify and implement opportunities to improve energy
efficiency, resilience, and healthfulness of public and
assisted housing, and lower energy costs for low- and moderate-
income residents. In doing so, the Secretary should consider a
range of approaches, such as partnering with nonprofit
organizations with expertise in energy efficiency,
collaboration with other Federal agencies and with states,
leveraging private finance, and protecting housing investments
through measures, such as third party verification of outcomes
where appropriate. Further, within 180 days of enactment of
this Act, the Secretary is directed to report to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations on the result of such
evaluation and provide recommendations for any additional
funding or authority needed to achieve efficiency, resilience,
and health improvements in assisted housing.
Cost analysis on HUD-assisted household spending on rent
and utilities.--The Committee recognizes that, due to the
rising cost of utilities, some households that receive Federal
housing assistance pay more than 30 percent of their income on
rent and utilities. This issue is most likely to affect
households that pay for utilities directly and receive a
utility allowance from their public housing agency (PHA). The
Committee directs the U.S. Government Accountability Office
(GAO), in consultation with the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations, to study the issue of utility costs and
consumption and rent burdens for HUD-assisted households,
including such matters as: the extent to which rent burdens of
HUD-assisted households exceed 30 percent; the extent to which
PHAs review and update utility allowances in accordance with
HUD guidance; the sufficiency of HUD's guidance for
establishing utility allowances and HUD's oversight of PHA
allowance-setting processes; options for minimizing the number
of households whose rent burdens exceed 30 percent due to
utility costs, and other topics deemed appropriate by
Comptroller General to offer recommendations to minimize the
impact of rising utility costs on families that receive HUD
housing assistance. The Committee expects an initial
consultation with GAO on the cost analysis not later than 180
days after enactment of this Act, with a deadline for the final
delivery of the report to be set at that time.
Equal access to housing.--The previous Administration
removed and rolled back HUD rules, regulations, and guidance
designed to minimize or eliminate discrimination against
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ)
individuals, in particular, sub-regulatory guidance specified
in House Report 115-750. Under the new leadership, the
Committee is pleased that the Department has prioritized
restoring equal protections for all individuals, regardless of
gender identity by publishing a Notice on April 27, 2021 in the
Federal Register that effectively withdrew the previous
Administration's proposed rule that would have threatened
protections for transgender people and their families. The
Committee strongly supports HUD's reinstatement of technical
assistance and guidance for HUD grantees, to help ensure that
all HUD-assisted and -insured housing remains available to
eligible persons, without regard to sexual orientation or
gender identity. It is the belief of the Committee that these
key steps work to restore equitable access to and treatment in
Federally assisted housing.
Top management challenges.--In November 2020, the HUD
Office of Inspector General (OIG) identified ten top management
challenges: (1) Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic, (2)
Financial Management, (3) Management and Oversight of
Information Technology, (4) Monitoring and Mitigating Risk, (5)
Ensuring the Availability of Affordable Housing That is Decent,
Safe, Sanitary, and in Good Repair, (6) Protecting the FHA
Insurance Fund, (7) Administering Disaster Recovery Assistance,
(8) Human Resource Management Challenges, (9) Increasing
Efficiency in Procurement Processes, and (10) Ensuring Ethical
Conduct, many of which have been identified as top management
challenges facing the Department for the past few years. The
Committee continues to be concerned that the Department is
stymied by basic business fundamentals, despite increases in
funding each year. The Committee reminds the Department of the
direction provided in House Report 116-452 to form an executive
task form to address the OIG's top management challenges for
fiscal year 2020, to expand the report to address the
additional challenges identified in the OIG's 2021 report, and
further directs the Department to report to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations on the progress of the
executive task force to address these challenges within 30 days
of enactment of this Act.
HUD staffing assessment.--The Committee is concerned by the
significant reductions in Department staffing levels and by
reports that affordable housing projects have been delayed
because the Department lacks the staff capacity to process
requests in a timely manner. The Committee directs GAO to do a
comprehensive evaluation of staff capacity across the entire
Department, including in the field, regional, and headquarters
offices, in consultation with the House and Senate Committee on
Appropriations. The report or reports should examine staff
hiring, training, and retention, the capacity of staff to meet
workload at current staff levels, the impact of low staff
capacity on completion of affordable housing projects, and
provide recommendations both to the Department and the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on ways to improve
staff capacity.
Housing income limits for Puerto Rico.--The Committee
encourages the Department to work with relevant Federal
stakeholders and the government of Puerto Rico to review
current income limits used to determine eligibility for
affordable Federal housing programs in Puerto Rico. The
Committee further encourages the Department's assessment on how
these income limits may be affecting the participation of low-
income individuals and developers in Federal housing programs,
indicate if they are a hinderance in participation, and
identify ways to potentially remedy this issue.
Investment in Central Appalachia.--To diversify and enhance
economic opportunities, the Committee encourages the Secretary
to prioritize discretionary funding to distressed counties
within the Central Appalachian region to help communities and
regions that have been affected by job losses in coal mining,
coal power plant operations, and coal-related supply chain
industries due to the economic downturn of the coal industry.
Women- and minority-owned businesses and procurement.--The
Committee acknowledges the barriers that women-owned businesses
and small disadvantaged businesses face. The Committee directs
HUD to examine its Federal contracting requirements for
procurement to determine if any revisions need to be made,
particularly with regard to bonding and insurance, for the
purpose of promoting contracting with women-owned businesses
and small disadvantaged businesses, and report back to the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its findings
within 270 days of enactment of this Act.
Review of HUD grantees.--The Committee recognizes that HUD
appoints Federal monitors to oversee and assist with the
management of Federal funds and that these monitors may add
additional cost burdens to the cities, states, and territories
to which the monitors are appointed. The Committee directs GAO,
in consultation with the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations, to review the efficacy and cost of the
monitorship, management, and administration of HUD grantees
under the direction of a monitor, including the New York City
Housing Authority and the Community Development Block Grant
Disaster Recovery administering agencies for Puerto Rico and
the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Affordable housing and construction costs.--The Committee
recognizes that the demand and need for affordable housing
throughout the nation continues to outpace production and
supply. Programs like the HOME investment partnerships program,
choice neighborhoods initiative, Native American housing block
grants--competitive, housing for the elderly, housing for
persons with disabilities, and the self-help and assisted
homeownership opportunity program play a critical role in
expanding affordable single family and multifamily housing for
low-income people. In fiscal year 2022, the Committee again
provides significant resources through these programs to
support new construction of affordable housing. One of the many
challenges with combatting the affordable housing crisis is the
cost of construction. Costs associated with land acquisition,
infrastructure improvements, construction, and development have
increased across the country and even more so recently as a
result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To better understand the
impacts of construction and development costs on the ability of
these HUD programs to expand the affordable housing supply, the
Committee directs GAO to conduct an evaluation of how the per
unit costs of eligible activities under these HUD programs have
changed throughout the country based on historical cost trends,
including identification of regions or housing markets in the
country where costs have increased more significantly than
others, an analysis on how such increases impacted affordable
housing development, and recommendations on how such programs
could better address this challenge. The Committee directs GAO
to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on
its preliminary findings no later than 180 days after enactment
of this Act, and to provide a full report to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations on a date established
during such briefing.
Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) standards.--The Committee
recognizes that HUD is the only agency that has not adopted the
ABA implementation guidelines that the Access Board published
in 2004 and instead continues to apply the Uniform Federal
Accessibility Standards. Adopting the ABA standards will lead
to more accessible housing for Americans with disabilities and
promote greater consistency government-wide with respect to the
accessibility of Federal facilities. The Committee directs HUD
to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
within 90 days of enactment of this Act on its plans to
implement these guidelines.

Hiring and separation report.--The Committee continues to
direct the Office of the Chief Financial Officer and the Office
of the Human Capital Officer to submit quarterly reports to the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on hiring and
separations by program office. The reports should include
position titles, location, associated full-time equivalent
(FTE), total number of unfilled FTEs, and the length of time
each individual FTE has been unfilled. The reports should
include the Office of the Inspector General and Government
National Mortgage Association.
Office space.--The recommendation includes $5,143,000 to
address urgent, previously unfunded Robert C. Weaver Federal
Building deferred maintenance and modernization of critical
infrastructure systems that are well past their useful lives
and at high-risk of failure. Not later than 90 days after the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary is directed to submit to
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations an
expenditure plan for these funds. Any changes to this plan are
subject to the reprogramming process described in section 405
of this Act.
Top management challenges.--Based on the Department's top
ten management challenges identified in November 2020 by the
HUD OIG, the Committee is concerned that the Department's
growing and complex mission rests on a fragile foundation. Many
of these challenges will need to be addressed within the ASO.
The Committee directs the executives of the ASO to fully
participate and support the executive task force that the
Secretary was directed to form to address these challenges.
Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO).--The
Committee directs OCIO to hire not less than one FTE for
project management and one FTE for cost accounting to enhance
OCIO's ability to estimate and analyze the cost and schedule of
projects throughout their lifecycle and to report these costs
and schedules in a timely and accurate manner to internal and
external stakeholders.

Empowerment zones (EZs).--The Committee recognizes that EZs
can serve as an important tool for community revitalization.
The Committee also acknowledges that additional data is needed
to assess the effectiveness of EZs. The Committee directs GAO
to evaluate the effectiveness of round I EZs, including the
management of Federal funds. The Committee directs GAO to brief
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its
preliminary findings no later than 180 days after enactment of
this Act, and to provide a full report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations on a date established during such
briefing.
Environmental regulations enforcement.--The Committee is
concerned about the OIG Report entitled, ``Contaminated Sites
Pose Potential Health Risks to Residents at HUD Funded
Properties'', (2019-OE-0003) showing that the Department
neglected for years to enforce its own environmental
regulations at public housing complexes. This lack of oversight
resulted in the lead poisoning of children in at least one
public housing development. Therefore, the Committee directs
the Department to report on the progress that they have made on
the recommendations provided by the HUD OIG, in the above-
captioned report within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
Foster care youth.--The Committee recognizes that foster
care youth are more likely to suffer from trauma or post-
traumatic stress disorder than other children their age and, on
average, move once to twice a year. Although children entering
foster care are required to undergo physical health
assessments, many children do not receive a mental health
screening. The Committee strongly recommends that the
Department collaborate HHS to identify and support programs
that could promote mental health screenings for foster youth.
It is the Committee's understanding that these mental health
screenings should occur within 30 days of a child entering the
foster care system.
WORKING CAPITAL FUND
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Working
Capital Fund (WCF), in its present form, was established by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (P.L. 114-113) to perform
a limited number of commodity-like administrative functions
where economies of scale can be achieved. These functions are
limited in statute to the following: printing, records
management, space renovation, furniture, and supply services.
The Committee does not provide any funding to the WCF.
Instead, the WCF staff and its activities are funded with
transfers from the Department's salary and expenses accounts
(i.e., Executive Offices, Administrative Support Offices,
Program Offices, and Government National Mortgage Association).
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Prior to exercising discretion to centrally fund an
activity, the Secretary shall have established transparent and
reliable unit cost accounting for the offices and agencies of
the Department that use the activity, and shall have adequately
trained staff within each affected office and agency on
resource planning and accounting processes associated with the
centralization of funds to this account.
Prior to exercising its authority to transfer funds for
activities beyond what is required for shared service
agreements, the Committee directs HUD to establish a clear
execution plan for centralizing the additional activities, and
to transmit that plan to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations 30 days prior to transferring such funds into
the WCF.

In fiscal year 2005, the housing certificate fund was
separated into two new accounts: tenant-based rental assistance
and project-based rental assistance. This account administers
the tenant-based section 8 rental assistance program otherwise
known as the housing choice voucher program.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $29,215,714,000 for tenant-based
rental assistance. Consistent with the budget request, the
Committee continues the advance of $4,000,000,000 of the funds
appropriated under this heading for section 8 programs to
October 1, 2022. The following table provides funding levels
for activities funded within this account.

-------------------------------------
Total......................... 30,442,000,000 29,215,714,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Voucher renewals.--The Committee provides $24,950,926,000
for the renewal of tenant-based vouchers. The Committee directs
the Department to monitor and report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations each quarter on the trends in
section 8 subsidies and to report on the required program
alterations due to changes in rent or changes in tenant income.
Incremental vouchers to address homelessness.--The
Committee provides $1,000,000,000 to support more than 125,000
new incremental vouchers to expand affordable housing
opportunities for low-income people in America. The Committee
supports the use of these funds for housing opportunities
targeted to individuals and families that are experiencing or
at-risk of homelessness and individuals and families fleeing,
or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, or stalking, as well as for veterans.
Veterans Affairs supportive housing (VASH).--The Committee
recognizes the value and impact of the HUD-VASH program, which
serves veterans experiencing homelessness. To continue the
effort to eliminate homelessness among our Nation's veterans,
the Committee provides $20,000,000 for new, incremental
vouchers dedicated to vulnerable veteran households. In
addition, no less than $762,500,000 of the amounts made
available for voucher renewals is available to renew more than
100,000 eligible VASH vouchers funded in prior years. Since
2008, the Committee has provided more than $835,000,000 in
targeted funding to increase the number of HUD-VASH vouchers
available to address veteran homelessness and billions of
dollars have been made available to renew HUD-VASH vouchers
over the same period.
Case management services are critically important to the
success of the program, and public housing agencies (PHAs) rely
on Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center referrals
to house veterans. In fiscal year 2021, the Committee directed
HUD to work with the VA to determine how PHAs can become
designated entities to screen for eligibility and make
referrals to the VA for services. Further, the Committee
directed the VA and HUD to use their existing authorities to
allow PHAs to house and provide services to veterans in the
interim. The Committee directs HUD to continue its coordination
with VA and to issue guidance no later than one year after
enactment of this Act on how PHAs can coordinate with local VA
Medical Centers to improve service delivery and referrals for
HUD-VASH eligible veterans awaiting a VA-issued referral to
ensure no veteran goes unserved where housing and services
remain available. The Committee recommendation provides
$5,000,000 for PHAs administering temporary case management and
supportive services for HUD-VASH eligible veterans awaiting a
referral from the VA.
Housing and economic mobility.--The Committee supports the
Department's new initiative to target funds to a mobility
services demonstration to help families with children move to
areas of opportunity and provides $150,000,000 for this
purpose. This level of funding is in addition to the combined
$50,000,000 provided in fiscal years 2019 and 2020 for the
housing mobility demonstration, which builds on research that
has found that when families with young children use housing
vouchers to locate in areas with quality schools and other
opportunities, their children are much more likely to attend
college and earn more income as adults. The Committee believes
counseling, relocation assistance, landlord incentives, and
targeted coordination between families, PHAs, financial
institutions, landlords, and other key stakeholders will be
critical to helping improve outcomes for low-income children
and families.
Vouchers for homeless Native American veterans.--The
Committee provides up to $5,000,000 for rental assistance and
associated administrative costs for Tribal HUD-VASH to serve
Native American veterans who are homeless or at risk of
homelessness living on or near a reservation, or other Indian
areas. The Committee anticipates that this funding will be
needed to renew previously provided rental assistance. This
program was first funded in fiscal year 2015, and because of
the unique nature of the program, a separate renewal line is
required. These resources are in addition to the HUD-VASH
program.
The Committee recognizes that the rural and remote nature
of many tribal communities presents unique barriers to hiring
and retaining qualified professionals who meet the VA's
standards for case managers. The Committee encourages HUD to
continue working collaboratively with the VA and Tribal HUD--
VASH funding recipients to implement their program. In
addition, the Committee urges HUD to ensure that Tribal HUD--
VASH funding recipients unable to fully implement their program
due to challenges hiring and retaining case managers are not
treated inequitably due to delays, particularly in performance
evaluations and when applying for continued funding.
Tenant protection vouchers.--The Committee provides
$100,000,000 for tenant protection vouchers. In its annual
notice of funding awards for tenant protection vouchers, the
Department shall also include each specific property ID and
name that experienced a triggering event to support each
funding award.
Section 811 mainstream vouchers.--The Committee provides
$500,253,000 for section 811 tenant-based subsidies. This level
of funding is sufficient to renew previously awarded eligible
vouchers.
Supportive housing for people with mental illness pilot.--
The Committee is concerned that people with serious mental
illness have inadequate access to housing and supportive
services. The Committee is alarmed by the frequency in which
these individuals are found in hospitals and public
institutions like jails, prisons, and emergency shelters, which
results in increased costs to taxpayers and does not allow
individuals to receive the robust behavioral health services
that they need. As evidenced by the progress made through the
HUD-VASH program, the Committee recognizes that pairing housing
with wrap-around services is a successful model. In fiscal year
2021, the Committee requested a report from HUD and the
Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) on the
feasibility of creating a pilot program for individuals with
serious mental illness. To pilot this initiative, the Committee
provides up to $5,000,000 for public housing agencies to
partner with SAMHSA grantees through the projects for
assistance in transition from homelessness (PATH) program to
support new housing vouchers for individuals concurrently
seeking housing and mental health supportive services.
Family unification program (FUP) vouchers.--The Committee
provides $25,000,000 for family unification vouchers, which
provide housing assistance for youth transitioning out of
foster care and for child welfare-involved families whose
primary barrier to reunification is lack of stable housing.
Young adults associated with the child welfare systems are more
likely to experience homelessness as adults or as they
transition to adulthood. The Committee recognizes that stable,
affordable housing with appropriate services can help prevent
children from being unnecessarily removed from their families
and help youth exiting foster care transition to adulthood. The
Committee is concerned that FUP vouchers are underutilized as a
housing strategy to assist at-risk youth and that PHAs and
local public child welfare agencies have had limited success in
developing effective partnerships. According to a May 2014
report from HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research,
youth only comprise about 14 percent of the total FUP
participants. Therefore, the Committee directs $10,000,000 of
the funding provided for FUP vouchers to PHAs that partner with
their local public child welfare agency to ensure youth
referrals for these vouchers. The Committee also includes
language permitting the Secretary to recapture voucher
assistance from PHAs that no longer have a need for that
assistance and reallocate it to PHAs with an identified need.
Homeless veterans on the United States-Mexico border.--The
Committee notes that there are many homeless veterans living on
the United States-Mexico border, many of whom have not
historically been counted in the point-in-time homelessness
survey. The Committee directs HUD to take action to ensure that
HUD--VASH vouchers are made available to this population. The
Committee further directs HUD to build upon previous work and
develop strategies and recommendations for addressing and
reducing veteran homelessness on the southern border. The
Department is directed to report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations on these efforts within 60 days of
the enactment of this Act.
Section 8 management assessment program.--In fiscal year
2019, the Committee directed the Department to analyze whether
differences in scoring PHAs created inequities and to report to
the Committee. The Committee continues to look forward to
receiving the results of this report.
Housing for the reentry population.--The Committee is
encouraged by the actions that HUD has taken to reduce the
barriers that the reentry population faces in securing housing.
Recognizing that safe and reliable housing is a critical part
of reducing recidivism, the Committee urges HUD to further
explore other initiatives to reducing reentry barriers.
Administrative fees.--The Committee encourages the
Department to work with its authorizing congressional
committees to determine the feasibility of providing
administrative fees for the section 8 housing choice voucher
program to high performing, fully-leased PHAs that are
prioritizing housing homeless and special needs populations.
This consideration should be given to PHAs in high-cost areas
that serve these populations and have leveraged local
resources.
Home buying assistance.--The Committee directs HUD to
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on
the impediments and/or barriers of using section 8 housing
choice voucher program funding for the purposes of home
purchase assistance such as down payment assistance and closing
costs no later than 120 days after enactment of this Act.
Project-based vouchers.--The Committee supports the use of
project-based vouchers for expanding affordable housing to
special needs populations who would otherwise face barriers in
finding suitable housing in the private rental market. The
Committee encourages the Department to work with its
authorizing congressional committees to consider increasing the
percentage cap on project-based rental assistance in order to
expand housing opportunities for populations such as those with
special needs.
HOUSING CERTIFICATE FUND
(INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)
The housing certificate fund, until fiscal year 2005,
provided funding for both the project-based and tenant-based
components of the section 8 program. Project-based rental
assistance and tenant-based rental assistance are now
separately funded accounts. The housing certificate fund
retains balances from previous years' appropriations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Language is included to allow unobligated balances from
specific accounts to renew or amend project-based rental
assistance contracts.
PUBLIC HOUSING FUND
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $7,806,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 8,575,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 8,640,000,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +834,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. +65,000,000
The public housing fund provides funding for the costs
associated with operating and maintaining public housing, as
well as modernization and capital expenses for approximately
3,100 PHAs (except tribally designated housing entities) that
manage public housing units.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $8,640,000,000 for the public
housing fund to support the operating and capital expenses of
more than 960,000 public housing units in calendar year 2022.
Operating and capital formula grants.--The Committee
recommendation provides $4,897,000,000 to allocate to PHAs by
formula to support the operating expenses of public housing. Of
the funding provided for operating formula grants, the
Committee recommendation includes up to $21,000,000 for
resident participation activities, including tenant organizing
activities, capacity building and technical assistance, and
access to community services. The Committee recommendation
provides $3,400,000,000 to allocate to PHAs by formula to
support the maintenance of public housing. This level of
funding will address the estimated accrual need in calendar
year 2022 to prevent the loss of any public housing unit to
disrepair.
Shortfall prevention.--The Committee recommendation
provides $25,000,000 for shortfall prevention to reduce the
risk of financial insolvency for high risk PHAs.
Emergency and disaster grants.--The Committee
recommendation provides $65,000,000 for emergency capital
needs, excluding Presidentially-declared disasters. Of this
amount, $45,000,000 is for PHAs in receivership or under the
direction of a Federal monitor and no less than $10,000,000 is
for safety and security measures.
Financial and physical assessment.--The Committee
recommendation provides $23,000,000 to support the ongoing
public housing financial and physical assessment activities of
HUD's real estate assessment center.
Administrative and judicial receiverships.--The Committee
recommendation provides $15,000,000 to support the costs of
administrative and judicial receiverships.
Lead hazard reduction and healthy homes.--The Committee
recommendation provides $65,000,000 for competitive grants to
PHAs to evaluate and reduce lead-based paint and other health
hazards, including addressing carbon monoxide, mold, fire
safety, and other household hazards. Of this amount, up to
$5,000,000 is to continue a pilot for radon testing and
mitigation in public housing.
Energy and water performance.--The Committee supports the
Department's energy performance contracting (EPC) as a tool for
innovative financing that uses cost savings from reduced energy
consumption to repay the cost of installing energy conservation
measures. The Committee recognizes that HUD's rate reduction
incentive allows PHAs to share cost savings resulting from
utility rate reduction action equally with HUD. In order to
strengthen energy conservation measures, the Committee
recommendation provides $50,000,000 for public housing energy
and water efficiency initiatives, including an EPC incentive
pilot program. As part of this pilot, the Committee directs HUD
to consider the following changes to its utility cost reduction
programs: (1) accept rate reduction benefit from all utilities;
(2) waive the three-year water baselines; (3) permit use of all
available funding sources to generate utility savings,
including the frozen base; (4) remove restrictions on EPC
incentives; and (5) allow structured financing for operations
and maintenance to reduce costs. The Committee recognizes that
there is insufficient information to estimate the full cost of
public housing capital needs due to a lack of data on the costs
of public housing electrification. The Committee directs HUD to
ensure that PHAs participating in the pilot include a detailed
description of energy deficiencies in their physical needs
assessments.
Further, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 amended the public
housing capital section of the United States Housing Act of
1937 to encourage the integration of utility management and
capital planning to maximize energy conservation and efficiency
measures. All PHAs are currently required to perform energy
audits every five years pursuant to 24 CFR 965. However, energy
audit data is not collected on a national basis, nor is it
required to be integrated with capital needs planning.
Decarbonizing the existing public housing stock is projected to
reduce carbon emissions by as much as 5.6 million metric tons,
which is the equivalent of 1.2 million cars each year. In the
process, it is estimated that energy cost savings of up to 70
percent could be realized and up to 240,000 jobs could be
created each year, including 36,000 on-site maintenance and
constructions jobs. The Committee believes that the Department
and PHAs have the potential to ensure a sustainable future for
public housing and directs HUD to submit a report to the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 120 days of
enactment of this Act on how HUD and PHAs can increase the
available data on public housing for energy usage, energy
conservation and efficiency measures, and other relevant
information, including green physical needs assessments, in
order to ensure public housing fund resources are being used in
a way that maximizes their impact.
Utility conservation and climate resiliency.--The Committee
recommendation includes $100,000,000 for competitive grants to
PHAs for capital improvements to reduce utility consumption or
improve the climate resilience of public housing.
Green retrofits.--The Committee recognizes the benefits of
readily available physical and green assessment data that could
assist with long-term asset management, ensure resident safety
and well-being, and promote the longevity and decarbonization
of public housing. The Committee believes that HUD is well-
suited to provide data on green retrofits financed through the
public housing fund and directs HUD, in collaboration with
PHAs, to report on green retrofitting activities by PHA.
Quality assurance of physical inspections.--The Committee
is troubled by reports of deplorable living conditions found in
some HUD-subsidized properties across the country. The scope of
this issue spans geographic regions, highlights systemic
problems, and calls into question the effectiveness of HUD's
oversight and the real estate assessment center's (REAC)
inspections of HUD-assisted housing. The Committee encourages
the Department to work with the Committee on enforcement
actions, including civil monetary penalties, that HUD can take
to ensure PHAs and landlords maintain the physical quality and
safety of HUD-assisted units. Similarly, while the Committee is
supportive of efforts to quickly issue tenant-protection
vouchers, the issuance of such vouchers due to unsafe housing
conditions is an acknowledgement by the Department that it has
failed to ensure housing units are maintained as decent, safe,
and sanitary. Additionally, failure to maintain the physical
condition of HUD-assisted properties results in a loss of
critical affordable housing and tenant protection vouchers are
more difficult for individual and families to utilize in
communities with limited affordable housing options. As part of
any change in inspection protocols or standards, the Committee
directs the Department to solicit comments from stakeholders,
including tenants, to identify ways the Department can improve
its inspection protocols and oversight. The Committee will
continue to closely monitor the Department's efforts and
progress and directs the Department to submit to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 60 days of
enactment of this Act, a report identifying how HUD is
improving the inspection process and related protocols,
including quality assurance of inspections, identified actions
yet to be implemented, the status of actions undertaken, and a
timeline for completion of all actions.
Public housing trusts.--The Committee recognizes that
certain public housing preservation and recapitalization tools
result in affordable housing units being transferred to the
ownership of public entities. The Committee is aware that, as
part of these ownership transfers, some PHAs have expressed
interest in establishing a separate entity to further leverage
public and private funding sources, including through the
establishment of a public housing trust, in order to execute
capital projects with the greatest possible efficiency. When
converting public housing units, the Committee encourages the
Department to work with PHAs in order to leverage public-
private partnerships.
Fire safety.--The Committee understands that while the
Federal Fire Safety Act of 1992 mandated that all new public
housing units have automatic sprinkler systems, it did not
mandate that these systems be installed in Federally-assisted
housing units built prior to the date of enactment of the Act,
which poses a risk to tenants residing in outdated units
without adequate fire sprinkler systems. The Committee
recommendation provides funding under this heading for fire
safety, which may be used to install automatic sprinkler system
in public housing. Furthermore, the Committee directs the
Department to provide a report within 120 days of enactment of
this Act to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
on the presence or absence of automatic sprinkler systems in
public housing.
Burial grounds.--The Committee directs HUD to survey PHAs
to determine how many public housing properties are known to be
built on cemeteries or historic burial grounds and report its
findings to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
within 90 days of enactment of this Act.
Recycling and zero waste.--The Committee recognizes the
benefits of recycling and zero-waste programs and supports
expanding the availability of such programs in public housing.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to create a
pilot program to support recycling and zero-waste programs in
public housing and provides $10,000,000 from public housing
operations funding under this heading for such a pilot program.
Carbon monoxide.--The Committee is alarmed at reports of
incidents of carbon monoxide poisoning in public housing and
supports the Department's use of emergency safety and security
funding provided under this heading to award funding to PHAs
for the purchase and installation of carbon monoxide detectors.
The Committee directs HUD to, within 90 days of enactment of
this Act, report to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on its progress to meet the requirements of
section 101 of title I of division Q of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260), including its efforts
to educate tenants on carbon monoxide poisoning to help prevent
future injuries, deaths, and other harms.
Physical needs assessments.--The Committee recognizes that
the data needed to estimate the full cost of public housing
capital needs is insufficient to inform short- and long-term
funding and capital planning needs. The Committee urges the
Department to consider requiring a detailed description of
energy deficiencies as part of a PHA's physical needs
assessments.
CHOICE NEIGHBORHOODS INITIATIVE
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $200,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 250,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 400,000,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +200,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. +150,000,000
The choice neighborhoods initiative program leverages
significant public and private funding to support locally
driven strategies that transform underserved neighborhoods with
distressed public and/or HUD-assisted housing into
neighborhoods of choice through a comprehensive approach. The
program uses Federal grants to help communities transform
neighborhoods by revitalizing severely distressed public and/or
HUD-assisted housing into high quality, energy efficient,
mixed-income housing; providing supportive services to
residents related to employment, health care, and education;
and catalyzing community-wide improvements in the neighborhood,
like addressing vacant property, economic development, public
safety, services, and schools.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $400,000,000 for the
choice neighborhoods initiative program. Of the total funds
provided, not more than $10,000,000 is for planning grants to
conduct comprehensive local planning for neighborhood
transformation plans which includes engagement with residents
and the community. The Committee encourages the Department to
give prior year planning grant recipients priority
consideration when awarding implementation grants.
Supporting residents.--Supportive services are a key
component to helping residents thrive and remain stably housed.
Through the choice neighborhoods initiative program, supportive
services are tailored to the needs of residents to strengthen
self-sufficiency by focusing on employment and income, health,
and education. These services help ensure individuals receive
support during their relocation and return to the public and/or
HUD-assisted housing that is being redeveloped. For households
receiving this support, HUD has found that 85 percent of
grantees have increased employment rates, the percentage of
residents with a regular health care provider has increased,
and the number of children participating in early childhood and
after-school programs increased by 22 percent and 26 percent,
respectively. The Committee notes that the amount of
implementation grant funding that may be used for supportive
services for residents is limited to 15 percent, and that 66
percent of all implementation grant awardees budgeted the
maximum 15 percent allowable for supportive services and the
average for all awardees was 14.8 percent. Considering the
strong utilization of funding for supportive services by
awardees and the demonstrated success for residents, the Act
increases the maximum amount of implementation grant funding
that may be used for supportive services to 20 percent in order
to continue to improve social outcomes for residents.
Improving cross-agency coordination.--The Committee is
pleased that the Department of Transportation (DOT)
incorporated the choice neighborhoods initiative program into
the notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for some of its fiscal
year 2021 competitive grant programs, effectively making an
application for a transportation project proposed in a choice
neighborhood more competitive than a similar transportation
project not located in a choice neighborhood. In order to
achieve a successful neighborhood transformation, a choice
neighborhoods initiative applicant must leverage significant
public and private funding opportunities. At the Federal level,
a diverse set of agencies including DOT, the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Education
(ED), and the Department of Labor (DOL), among others, could
all have a role to play in the housing, people, and
neighborhood components of the choice neighborhoods initiative
program. However, it is often difficult for local communities,
especially lower-income and disadvantaged communities, to
leverage resources across multiple Federal agencies. The
Committee directs HUD to work with DOT, HHS, ED, DOL, and any
other Federal agencies HUD deems appropriate to identify
Federal resources which could be leveraged by choice
neighborhoods initiative applicants and awardees, improve
cross-agency coordination with respect to NOFOs, if
appropriate, and to explore developing incentives and
increasing emphasis within NOFOs on certain activities to
encourage potential applicants to approach community
development in a more holistic manner. The Committee directs
HUD to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
on its initial cross-agency engagement and findings no later
than 180 days after the enactment of this Act.
Program evaluation.--Since fiscal year 2010, HUD has
awarded more than $1,200,000,000 to 41 implementation grants.
These implementation grants will replace more than 11,300
distressed public and/or HUD-assisted housing units, construct
more than 26,800 total affordable and market rate housing
units, leverage more than $7 of non-Federal investment for
every $1 of implementation grant funding, and as noted earlier
improve social outcomes for residents. An initial study on the
first five choice neighborhoods, managed by HUD's Office of
Policy Development and Research (PDR), was completed in 2015.
At that time, the five choice neighborhoods had not completed
their full implementation, redevelopment was still underway,
and Federal funding was still being expended. The Committee
understands that PDR has initiated phase two of this study to
collect additional information on the first five choice
neighborhoods and a second cohort of choice neighborhoods. This
follow-on evaluation will provide HUD and Congress with
important information on the outcomes, challenges, and
opportunities for the housing, people, and neighborhood
elements of the choice neighborhoods initiative program. The
Committee directs HUD to brief the House and Senate Committees
on Appropriations on the status of phase two of this study,
including any initial findings, no later than 120 days after
the enactment of this Act.
SELF-SUFFICIENCY PROGRAMS
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $155,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 175,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 200,000,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +45,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. +25,000,000
The self-sufficiency programs account funds several
programs which help low-income individuals and families living
in subsidized housing enhance job skills, increase earnings,
and improve their economic security. The family self-
sufficiency (FSS) program provides grants for FSS coordinators
to public housing agencies (PHAs) and the Economic Growth,
Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (P.L. 115-174)
expanded eligibility to residents of project-based rental
assistance (PBRA) properties. The resident opportunity and
self-sufficiency (ROSS) program funds service coordinators to
work with residents of public and Indian housing, and the jobs-
plus initiative provides grants to PHAs, which are required to
partner with Department of Labor jobs centers.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $200,000,000 for the
self-sufficiency programs account. The following table provides
funding levels for activities within this account.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Expanded FSS eligibility.--The Committee commends HUD for
issuing a proposed rule on September 21, 2020 to implement the
Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act
(P.L. 115-174) which amended the FSS program. Specifically,
section 306 of P.L. 115-174 streamlined FSS program
administration and expanded the program to residents of PBRA
properties. The Committee directs HUD to thoroughly review and
consider all comments received in response to the proposed rule
and to issue a final rule as soon as practicable. In addition,
the Act ensures that owners or sponsors of PBRA properties are
eligible for new grants upon the Secretary issuing a final
rule.
FSS performance measurement system.--In 2017, HUD issued a
notice requesting comment on a proposed performance measurement
system for PHAs receiving FSS program coordinator grants. On
November 15, 2018, HUD issued a final notice on the new
performance measurement system with revisions to the
methodology used to compute FSS performance scores in response
to public comments received to the notice. According to the
final notice entitled ``Family Self-Sufficiency Performance
Measurement System (``Composite Score'')'', a PHA's FSS
performance score will be calculated based on an earnings
performance measure, graduation rate, and participation rate.
While HUD intended to begin using this performance measurement
system in determining FSS funding awards in fiscal year 2019,
section 236 of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act,
2020 (P.L. 116-94) and section 233 of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) prohibited HUD from
considering performance measures or scores in making funding
awards for the FSS program. The Committee supports the intent
of HUD's efforts to evaluate individual FSS programs, which
could provide HUD vital information on the FSS program overall
and inform best practices and technical assistance. However,
the Committee considers the focus on earnings, graduation rate,
and participation rate to be too narrow in scope and
insufficient in terms of measuring success and outcomes for
individuals participating in the program. For example, while
graduation rates are important such a metric does not provide
insights into how graduation from the FSS program may result in
individuals exiting HUD-assisted housing and no longer needing
rental assistance. The Committee understands that HUD is
working to make further improvements to the performance
measurement system and directs HUD to consider additional
metrics focused on social outcomes for individuals.
Tribal participation.--The Committee reminds HUD,
applicants, and residents of HUD-assisted housing that tribes
and tribally designated housing entities are eligible
applicants for the ROSS program.
NATIVE AMERICAN PROGRAMS
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $825,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 1,000,000,000

The Native American programs account funds the Native
American housing block grants and Indian community development
block grant programs. The Native American housing block grants
program, authorized by the Native American Housing Assistance
and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA), provides funding
to American Indian tribes and tribally designated housing
entities (TDHEs) to help address affordable housing needs in
tribal communities. The Indian community development block
grant program, authorized under title I of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974, provides American Indian
tribes the opportunity to compete for funding to address tribal
community development needs.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $950,000,000 for the
Native American programs account. The following table provides
funding levels for activities within this account.

In addition, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L.
117-2) provided a total of $745,000,000 to prevent, prepare
for, and respond to COVID-19, of which $450,000,000 was for the
Native American housing block grants formula program,
$280,000,000 was for the Indian community development block
grant program, $10,000,000 was for training and technical
assistance, and $5,000,000 was for administrative oversight.
Competitive grants.--A 2017 HUD report confirmed that
homelessness in tribal areas translates into overcrowded homes,
finding that between 42,000 and 85,000 Native Americans were
living with friends or relatives only because they had no place
of their own and to prevent homelessness. In addition, 23
percent of households in tribal areas experienced plumbing,
kitchen, heating, electrical, and maintenance problems which is
significantly more than the five percent of all U.S. households
experiencing similar issues. According to the report, 33,000
new units are needed in Indian country to eliminate
overcrowding and another 35,000 new units are needed to replace
units that are physically inadequate. Recognizing this
significant need in tribal communities across the country, the
Committee has appropriated $400,000,000 for competitive grants
to eligible recipients under NAHASDA to spur the construction
and rehabilitation of housing. To date, HUD has awarded funding
from fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, which is expected to
result in approximately 1,700 new and rehabilitated housing
units. The Committee recommendation provides $150,000,000 to
continue to assist tribal communities with expanding affordable
housing and improving housing conditions through this
competitive grant program. In addition, the Act expands this
competitive grant program to allow the Secretary to award
grants to rehabilitate or retrofit housing units owned,
operated, or assisted by eligible recipients under NAHASDA to
improve water or energy efficiency or increase resilience to
natural hazards.
The Committee directs HUD to administer the fiscal year
2022 funding as a stand-alone competition and to review and
score each application in its entirety. HUD shall not combine
the fiscal year 2022 notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) with
prior or future year appropriations for the same purpose,
except that any remaining unobligated balances from prior
fiscal year competitions may be included in the fiscal year
2022 NOFO. While the fiscal year 2022 NOFO should require
applicants to meet a capacity threshold, it shall not provide
additional points for capacity above want is needed to
successfully administer these grants. Further, the Committee
notes that $1,727,000 in funding appropriated in fiscal year
2017 remains available in the section 184 loan guarantee
program for the construction of rental housing for law
enforcement, health care, educational, technical, and other
skilled workers. The Committee encourages tribes and TDHEs to
consider utilizing this support for workforce housing when
developing projects for these competitive grants.
Formula grant overfunding.--The Native American housing
block grants formula program allocation is based on need, as
measured in part by current assisted housing stock. However,
housing data used to calculate allocations in any given year
often contains inaccuracies that are subsequently corrected.
These data revisions result in some Indian tribes having
received grants in excess of their accurate formula allocation
which in turn causes all other Indian tribes to be technically
underfunded for that same year. To address this recurring
problem, the Department has in the past recouped prior year
awards made in excess of eligibility by offsetting current year
awards. The Committee believes that this practice is within the
Department's authority. To ensure that the Native American
housing block grants formula program is allocated accurately
and in accordance with statutory requirements, the Committee
directs the Department to continue the practice of offsetting
formula allocations in fiscal year 2022 should it receive data
indicating that an overpayment occurred, provided the
Department takes action within three years from the date the
formula response form is sent out. If the Department recoups
funds from a tribe and a subsequent appeals process determines
that the funds should not have been recouped, the Committee
directs the Department to increase the tribe's next funding
allocation, following the final appeals determination, equal to
the amount of the improperly recouped funds.
Training and technical assistance.--The Committee
recommendation provides $7,000,000 for training and technical
assistance needs in Indian country to support the Native
American housing block grants program, the Indian community
development block grant program, and other HUD programs in
order to meet the needs of Native American families and tribal
communities. The Committee directs HUD to use this funding to
aid tribes with capacity challenges. The funding should be used
for training, contract expertise, inspections, and other
services necessary to address needs identified by tribes. Of
the total funding provided, no less than $2,000,000 shall be
awarded to a national organization as authorized by section 703
of NAHASDA.
Reservation housing.--The Committee recognizes the
importance of housing assistance provided as a result of
NAHASDA and encourages the Department to support efforts by
tribes to renovate substandard reservation housing. HUD has an
obligation to ensure that housing in its inventory is
transferred to Indian tribes, TDHEs, or eligible Native
American families as expeditiously as possible.
Coastal tribes.--The Committee understands that several
coastal tribal communities are actively working to relocate
homes and other critical infrastructure to higher ground to
mitigate the impacts of climate change. The Committee
encourages HUD to prioritize funding and technical assistance
resources to support these efforts and to encourage the use of
resilient building and planning practices throughout Indian
country. Further, the Act expands the Native American housing
block grants competitive program to allow the Secretary to
award grants to rehabilitate or retrofit housing units owned,
operated, or assisted by eligible recipients under NAHASDA to
improve water or energy efficiency or increase resilience to
natural hazards and allows the Secretary to give priority to
projects that include activities that improve water or energy
efficiency or increase resilience to natural hazards through
the Indian community development block grant program.

Section 184 of the Housing and Community Development Act of
1992 established a loan guarantee program for Native American
individuals, tribes, and tribally designated housing entities
to build new housing or purchase existing housing on trust
land. This program provides access to private financing that
otherwise might be unavailable because of the unique legal
status of Indian trust land.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $3,500,000 for the
Indian housing loan guarantee fund program account, of which
$3,000,000 is for the cost of section 184 guaranteed loans and
$500,000 is for administrative contract expenses to carry out
the section 184 loan guarantee program. The Act allows HUD to
use prior year unobligated balances to support the cost of
section 184 guaranteed loans. The fiscal year 2022 funding
combined with the unobligated balances will support a total
loan volume of up to $1,400,000,000.
Management and oversight.--The Committee remains concerned
with the Department's response to three management and
oversight reviews by the HUD OIG on the section 184 program,
with the initial audit report dating back to 2015. In the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) the
Committee directed the HUD OIG to conduct a follow-up review on
the section 184 program to determine if the weaknesses in
internal controls and information technology (IT) systems
previously identified by the HUD OIG have been effectively
addressed. According to the June 2021 update the Committee
received from the HUD OIG on the status of the Department's
efforts to address these issues, 16 of the 20 recommendations
the HUD OIG has issued or reopened remain open and unresolved.
Further, the HUD OIG reiterated that the Office of Native
American Programs (ONAP) ``must continue its efforts to get the
Section 184 program to a point at which there are adequate
systems, monitoring, oversight, and enforcement.'' While 14 of
the open recommendations are targeted for completion by the end
of calendar year 2021, the Committee remains concerned with the
Department's ability to complete this work. Further, while the
Committee notes positive progress on the IT systems in the
information technology fund account, addressing the IT systems
needs is only one portion of the issues ONAP must address. The
Committee directs the Department to redouble its efforts to
complete the necessary regulations, develop and implement
policies and procedures to supplement such regulations, work
with authorizing committees to enact indemnification authority,
and address issues relating to the expenditure of the
administrative contract expenses. The section 184 program is an
important tool to foster Native American homeownership and has
typically supported between 3,000 and 4,000 loans each year. It
is imperative that the Department fully implement the HUD OIG
recommendations to ensure the integrity and sustainability of
this vital program for Native Americans, tribes, and tribally
designated housing entities.
NATIVE HAWAIIAN HOUSING BLOCK GRANT

The Hawaiian Homelands Homeownership Act of 2000 created
the Native Hawaiian housing block grant program to provide
grants to the State of Hawaii Department of Hawaiian Home Lands
(DHHL) for housing activities on Hawaiian home lands, in order
to develop, maintain, and operate affordable housing for
eligible low-income Native Hawaiians. As one of the United
States' indigenous people, Native Hawaiian people have a unique
relationship with the Federal government.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $4,000,000 for the
Native Hawaiian housing block grant program. The Committee
directs the Department to continue to provide technical
assistance to DHHL in developing and executing plans to meet
the housing needs of low-income Native Hawaiians.
In addition, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L.
117-2) provided $5,000,000 for the Native Hawaiian housing
block grant program to prevent, prepare for, and respond to
COVID-19.

Section 184A of the Housing and Community Development Act
of 1992 established a loan guarantee program for Native
Hawaiians who are eligible to reside on Hawaiian home lands and
would otherwise face barriers to acquiring such financing
because of the unique legal status of the Hawaiian home lands.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee rejects the proposal in the budget request to
rescind $6,000,000 in prior year unobligated balances from the
section 184A loan guarantee program. The Act provides
$28,000,000 in loan guarantee commitment authority to make
section 184A loans and provides the Secretary the authority to
guarantee refinance loans.

The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)
program provides states and localities with resources to
address the housing needs of low-income persons living with
HIV/AIDS. Stable housing can reduce risky behavior, improve
adherence to medication, and reduce HIV transmission. Funding
is distributed primarily by formula to qualifying states and
metropolitan areas based on the number of individuals living
with HIV/AIDS reported to the Centers for Disease Control,
housing costs, and poverty rates. Government grantees are
required to have a HUD-approved comprehensive plan.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $600,000,000 for HOPWA, which is
sufficient funding to ensure that no grantee receives less
funding in fiscal year 2022 than they did in fiscal year 2021.
The Committee recommendation includes formula grants and
funding for the renewal of certain expiring contracts that were
previously funded under HOPWA competitive grants.
Formula modernization.--As HOPWA formula modernization has
come to an end and housing continues to consume a larger
percentage of the incomes of low- and moderate- income people,
the Committee is concerned that without significant increases
in funding, people living with HIV or AIDS in communities
nationwide will lose their access to stable housing. With this
recommended funding level, as well as funds for any community
that would see its funding reduced, the Committee strives to
ensure that no person who is currently housed will lose such
housing or associated services.
Competitive program.--The Committee is concerned that the
automatic renewal of competitive grants does not fulfill the
goals of the HOPWA program or advance the practice of providing
essential services to people living with HIV or AIDS. At the
same time, the Committee is aware that certain providers
eligible for such renewals may be the only providers in their
state or area. As a result, the Committee provides a way for
service providers with pre-2010 grants to transition into new
service models or to show that current models are effective for
the population they are serving. The Committee believes that
competitive funds under the HOPWA program can provide
innovations in care that inform the practice of providing
housing and other services for people living with HIV or AIDS.
The Committee expects that over the next several years, as the
next step after formula modernization, preference for pre-2010
grantees will lessen.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND

The Community Development Fund, authorized by the Housing
and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.),
provides funding, primarily through Community Development Block
Grants (CDBG), to state and local governments and other
eligible entities to carry out community and economic
development activities.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends a total of $4,688,000,000 for the
CDBG formula program for entitlement communities and states. Of
the amount provided for the CDBG formula programs, $7,000,000
is for insular areas, per 42 U.S.C. 5306(a)(2), which is the
same as the fiscal year 2021 enacted level. The recommendation
continues language requiring the Department to notify grantees
of their formula allocation not later than 60 days after
enactment of this Act.
In addition, under this header, the Committee provides up
to $935,500,000 for community projects funded through the
Economic Development Initiative (EDI) program in accordance
with the table at the end of this report.
Resilience.--The Committee again directs the Secretary to
encourage grantees of the CDBG program to utilize funds for
activities designed to increase project resilience including
hardening structures to withstand severe weather and other
natural hazards such as flooding, wind, and other hazards
identified by the Secretary.
Reinvestment in low- and moderate-income communities.--The
Committee reminds both HUD and grantees that a core tenet of
the CDBG program is the improvement of the living environment
of low- and moderate-income families. The Committee challenges
grantees to refocus the level of CDBG investment in low- and
moderate-income families and neighborhoods. CDBG funding is a
tool to create equitable, viable, and cohesive neighborhoods
throughout a jurisdiction. Further, the Committee notes that
CDBG funding can be used to rebuild and revitalize areas
affected by civil unrest and strongly encourages grantees that
have an identified need for this purpose to consider using CDBG
funding in these areas.
Transitional housing for individuals exiting recovery.--The
Committee recognizes the importance of stable transitional
living environments for individuals in recovery from substance
misuse disorder, including opioid addiction, and includes up to
$25,000,000 for activities authorized under section 8071 of the
SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act (P.L. 115-271). The
Committee directs HUD to encourage CDBG recipients to provide
funding to organizations that offer transitional housing
opportunities to those in recovery, and further directs HUD to
give special consideration to recipients that offer wrap-around
services for those exiting recovery. Fiscal year 2022 will be
the third year of funding for the SUPPORT Act. As a result, the
Committee directs HUD to complete an analysis of how such
funding has been used in order to identify and disseminate best
practices for housing and supporting individuals in recovery.
Technical assistance for the SUPPORT Act.--Notwithstanding
section 8071(f) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities
Act, the Committee includes funds for technical assistance
under the SUPPORT Act within the Office of Policy, Development
and Research to ensure that HUD can support CDBG grantees in
facilitating housing for people recovering from opioid
addiction and to ensure efficient and effective spending of
appropriated funds.
Fairness in CDBG formulas.--The Committee is concerned that
the CDBG distribution formulas are not accurately targeting
communities with the most pressing needs and the least ability
to address those needs with their own resources. The Congress
explored revising formulas during 2005 and 2006 but no
legislation was ever passed. In order to revisit the question,
the Committee directs HUD to update the 2005 report titled
``CDBG Formula Targeting to Community Development Need'' in
order to analyze the current formula's effectiveness in meeting
the goals of the CDBG program and if it is meeting those goals
equitably. The Committee directs HUD's Office of Policy,
Development, and Research to complete a publicly available
report and brief the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriation within one year of enactment of this Act.
CDBG best practices report.--The Committee is pleased with
the provision of a CDBG best practices report to Congress. The
Committee recognizes that the flexibility of the CDBG program
can bring development to communities with diverse needs and
assets. The Committee encourages HUD to conduct trainings on
best practices gleaned from success stories from urban areas.
Such trainings will provide technical expertise to other
struggling urban areas on how best to invest and leverage these
grants.
Coordination.--In order to enhance program design and
administration at the local level, the Committee encourages HUD
to coordinate with other agencies including, but not limited
to, DOT, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of
Agriculture to target resources and program goals for
infrastructure and other projects funded under CDBG.
Buy America.--The Committee supports the use of American
made iron, steel, and manufactured products with use of funds
provided under the CDBG program. The Committee encourages HUD
to support grantee's use of American manufactured products for
the construction, reconstruction, installation, maintenance, or
repair of public works or buildings.
Puerto Rico disaster recovery.--The Committee directs the
Department to improve the administration of aid for natural
disaster relief efforts in Puerto Rico to ensure a more timely
and effective response in addressing the overwhelming needs of
the territory. Puerto Rico remains in the relatively early
stages of recovery from the devastation caused by Hurricanes
Maria and Irma in 2017 and the major earthquake activity in
2019 and 2020. HUD must take all necessary steps to
significantly progress the administration of agency personnel
assistance and congressionally provided aid for Puerto Rico,
including efforts to improve resiliency of the territory's
energy grid and stabilize permanent housing readiness.
Disaster mitigation.--The Committee is concerned that
Community Development Block Grant Mitigation (CDBG--MIT)
Program funds that were appropriated for Hurricane Harvey
recovery in February 2018 in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018
(P.L. 115-123), are not being properly allocated to provide the
greatest relief to the hardest hit and neediest populations.
Therefore, the Committee directs HUD to conduct a review of
state action plans and the criteria used for the distribution
of the CDBG--MIT funds for Hurricane Harvey relief with
particular focus on Congressional intent for the funding and
the impact such plans have on minority and low-income
communities who have suffered from repeated flooding events.
The Committee directs HUD to provide a report to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations on its findings not later
than 120 days after enactment of this Act.
Community project funding (CPF) grants.--From within funds
provided for the Community Development Fund for the EDI
program, the Committee recommends up to $935,500,000 for CPF
grants to finance a variety of targeted housing, economic, and
community development investments. A detailed list of projects
is located in the table titled ``Incorporation of Community
Project Funding'' located at the end of this report.

The Section 108 loan guarantee program is a source of
variable and fixed-rate financing for communities undertaking
projects eligible under the CDBG program.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation continues the Section 108 loan
guarantee program as a borrower-paid subsidy program, and
therefore recommends providing no budget authority, but
provides a limit on guaranteed loan volume of $300,000,000.

The HOME Investment Partnerships Program provides block
grants to participating jurisdictions (states and units of
general local government) to undertake activities that expand
the supply of affordable housing. HOME block grants are
distributed based on formula allocations. Upon receipt of these
Federal funds, state and local governments develop a housing
affordability strategy to acquire, rehabilitate, or construct
new affordable housing, or to provide rental assistance to
eligible families.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $1,850,000,000 for activities
funded under this account, an increase of $500,000,000 over
fiscal year 2021. HOME is the largest Federal block grant to
state and local governments designed exclusively to create
affordable housing for low-income households and is therefore a
crucial tool in the effort to address homelessness in this
country. HOME has invested $38,100,000,000 since 1992 to help
build and preserve about 1.33 million affordable homes, of
which over 546,000 were for new homebuyers, 256,000 were for
owner-occupied rehabilitated housing, and over 530,000 were new
and rehabilitated rental units, and to provide direct rental
assistance to more than 389,000 families. This investment has
leveraged over $158,000,000,000 in other public and private
funds.
In addition, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA)
(Public Law 117-2) included $5,000,000,000 for the HOME
Investment Partnerships program to address homelessness.
FirstHOME down payment assistance.--The Committee believes
that homeownership is an important and proven method of
building wealth, however the required down payment and closing
costs can be significant financial hindrances to potential
first-time homebuyers. Therefore, the Committee includes
$50,000,000 for down payment assistance to support sustainable
homeownership among first-generation, first-time homebuyers. To
improve the likelihood that the terms and conditions of a
mortgage are well-matched with the personal and financial
circumstances of an individual before a home purchase and
throughout homeownership, the Committee encourages the
Department to refer first-time homebuyers to utilize HUD-
approved housing counseling services.
Energy and water efficiency and resilience.--The Committee
acknowledges that the HOME regulation, 24 CFR 92.251, requires
grantees to construct housing according to property standards
that mitigate against the impact of disasters such as
earthquakes, wildfires, floods, and windstorms. However, the
Committee believes the Department can do more to improve the
longevity and resiliency of HUD assisted housing and directs
the Department to promulgate regulations updating its property
standards for HOME to reduce carbon pollution, increase energy
and water efficiency, and increase resilience to natural
hazards. The Department is directed to brief the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations on its efforts within 180
days of enactment of this Act.
Requirements for rental assistance.--The Committee
recognizes many families do not qualify for the HOME program
because their combined income marginally exceeds 60 percent of
the area median income. The Committee recognizes the need for
affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families and
encourages the Department to work with HOME grantees to
leverage partnerships with other housing providers to identify
income-eligible housing options for income-ineligible
households and to brief the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations within one year of enactment of this Act on the
extent to which partnerships and referrals can be improved.
SELF-HELP AND ASSISTED HOMEOWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $60,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 60,000,000

The self-help and assisted homeownership opportunity
program account funds several programs. The self-help
homeownership opportunity program (SHOP) supports low-income
homeownership by providing funding to non-profit organizations
and consortia that utilize the sweat-equity model to build
housing for first-time homeowners. Funds are distributed
through grants for land acquisition and improvements associated
with developing new, quality housing for low-income persons,
including those living in colonias. This account also funds the
capacity building for affordable housing and community
development program, known as section 4, and assistance to
rural communities, as authorized by the HUD Demonstration Act
of 1993 (P.L. 103-120), which provides grants to build and
expand the capacity of non-profit organizations to develop
affordable housing and carry out community development
activities that benefit low-income persons. In addition, this
account funds the veterans housing rehabilitation and
modification pilot program, as authorized by the Carl Levin and
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2015 (P.L. 113-291), which awards grants to
non-profit organizations to assist in the rehabilitation and
modification of the primary residence of veterans who have
disabilities or low-incomes.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $65,000,000 for the
self-help and assisted homeownership opportunity program
account. The following table provides funding levels for
activities within this account.

Section 4 capacity building.--HUD awards section 4 funding
competitively to a limited number of non-profit organizations
which work to build and expand the capacity of community
development corporations (CDCs) and community housing
development organizations (CHDOs). CDCs and CHDOs then
undertake affordable housing and community development
activities, such as financing small businesses, revitalizing
commercial corridors, and addressing local health care,
childcare, education, and safety needs, in low- and moderate-
income urban and rural communities. The Committee notes that
the section 4 program was highlighted during its March 25, 2021
hearing on Creating Equitable Communities through
Transportation and Housing as a key program for promoting
equitable development and housing production by fostering
bottom-up solutions and empowering community organizations.
Further, the Committee understands that every $1 of section 4
funding leverages more than $20 in public and private
investments, which is much more than the program requirement
that each dollar awarded be matched by $3, and continues to
support programs that leverage additional investments.
Multiyear agreements.--The Committee appreciates the
Department's proposal to improve grant management and execution
for the section 4 program through the use of multiyear
agreements. The Committee notes that a similar change was made
for the housing counseling assistance program, and has been
implemented with positive results for HUD and grantees. While
the use of multiyear agreements, subject to the availability of
annual appropriations, could be beneficial to HUD and grantees
of the section 4 program, more information is needed by the
Committee on how such multiyear agreements would be implemented
in order to fully evaluate this proposal and its potential
impact on grantees. Therefore, the Committee directs HUD to
develop an implementation plan for the use of multiyear
agreements for the section 4 program, to consult with
potentially impacted grantees, and to submit the implementation
plan to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no
later than 180 days after enactment of this Act.
HOMELESS ASSISTANCE GRANTS
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $3,000,000,000

Homeless assistance grants provide funding for programs
under title IV of the McKinney Act, as amended by the Homeless
Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH)
Act of 2009. HEARTH Act programs include the continuum of care
(CoC) competitive grants, the emergency solutions grants (ESG)
program, and the rural housing stability grants program.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $3,420,000,000 for homeless
assistance grants, to remain available until September 30,
2024. This level of funding is an increase of $420,000,000 from
fiscal year 2021 and includes $225,000,000 for new CoC grants.
The Committee recommendation includes not less than
$290,000,000 for emergency solutions grants and not less than
$52,000,000 to provide housing and services for survivors of
domestic violence, equal to fiscal year 2021. The
recommendation also includes up to $92,000,000 for grants to
comprehensively serve youth experiencing homelessness, of which
up to $10,000,000 is for technical assistance to improve
service delivery for youth experiencing homelessness.
These investments in homeless assistance grants taken
together with the new investment of $1,000,000,000 for vouchers
targeted to individuals currently experiencing homelessness,
including veterans and survivors of domestic violence, and a
$500,000,000 increase to the HOME investment partnerships
program to increase the supply of affordable housing, represent
a major step forward by this Act in supporting efforts to
reduce homelessness across the nation.
Addressing the needs of survivors of domestic violence,
sexual violence, and stalking.--The Committee recommendation
includes not less than $52,000,000 for rapid re-housing and
supportive services projects for survivors of domestic
violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. The
Committee again recommends that the Department and CoCs partner
with providers, including service providers, that have
experience in delivering trauma-specific and culturally
appropriate care to survivors.
Homelessness in California.--The Committee is aware of the
complex challenges California faces with its affordable housing
crisis and homelessness, which has only been exacerbated by the
COVID-19 pandemic. The Committee commends all stakeholders in
California for their work to reduce homelessness during these
difficult times. The Committee encourages the Secretary to
exercise all existing authorities to work or partner with
entities, including the U.S. Interagency Council on
Homelessness, the State of California, and local governments,
to continue efforts to reduce homelessness, including through,
but not limited to, construction of transitional housing,
permanent supportive housing, and emergency shelters, as well
as wrap-around services, such as substance abuse programs and
mental health services, for individuals and families
experiencing homelessness.
Annual homeless assessment report (AHAR) to Congress.--The
Committee continues to be concerned that the AHAR does not
include data on homelessness in the U.S. territories, including
Puerto Rico. The Committee encourages the Department to take
all reasonable steps to collect and publish homelessness
estimates for these jurisdictions in forthcoming versions of
the AHAR, in the same manner that such data is collected and
published for states and the District of Columbia. The
Committee also urges the Department to work with grantees on
data quality, and to provide technical assistance when
necessary.
COVID-19 impacts.--The Committee is aware of the diverse
and complex housing and services needs that exist as a result
of COVID-19. The Committee directs the Secretary, in
consultation with the relevant Federal agencies, to within 180
days of the enactment of this Act, submit a report to the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the impact COVID-19
has had on individuals experiencing homelessness or housing-
instability, including youth, and ways to address and reduce
long-term homelessness and housing instability that has been
exacerbated by the economic crisis brought on by the pandemic.
GAO study on hunger and homelessness.--The Committee is
concerned about the short and long-term effects of hunger and
homelessness on people in America, including the 172,000
individuals in families with children that were experiencing
homelessness in 2020. Hunger or food insecurity can lead to
poor mental and physical health, developmental delays, and even
child mortality; and a person experiencing hunger is more
likely to also experience housing instability or homelessness.
The Committee understands that programs such as the emergency
food and shelter grants program of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, as authorized by subtitle B of title III of
the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11341 et
seq.), provide a shared benefit for addressing issues of food
and housing insecurity. However, the Committee believes more
should be done to leverage Federal resources in order to
comprehensively address these issues. As such, the GAO is
directed to identify and analyze the methods in effect on the
date of the enactment of this Act for distributing Federal
assistance to determine whether such current methods adequately
address the needs of persons experiencing hunger and
homelessness. Not later than 180 days after the enactment of
this Act, GAO shall brief the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations on the preliminary findings of such study and
provide a full report, including recommendations as to how the
respective Federal agencies should revise such methods to
adequately and accurately meet such needs, to the House and
Senate Committees on a date established during such briefing.
The Committee directs GAO to give special consideration to the
ways in which funds are allocated to counties with high levels
of homelessness and to counties with high levels of economic
inequality.
Comprehensive approaches to serving youth experiencing
homelessness.--The Committee strongly believes that every CoC
must provide safe, inclusive, and culturally appropriate
services for youth at risk of or experiencing homelessness. To
accomplish this goal, the recommendation provides up to
$92,000,000 for projects dedicated to providing services to
youth experiencing homelessness, including up to $10,000,000
for technical assistance to help every CoC better serve youth
at risk of or experiencing homelessness. This recommendation is
intended to advance best practices learned in this
demonstration through targeted training and technical
assistance to help inform broader systems change.
As part of its competitive youth demonstration process, the
Committee supports that HUD places an emphasis on projects that
can demonstrate community-wide authentic youth collaboration in
strategy, design, and implementation; quality data collection,
management, and utilization of youth experiencing homelessness;
and collective ownership of a common goal to end youth
homelessness as demonstrated by a coordinated plan with
accountability to community-wide performance indicators. The
Committee encourages HUD to ensure that youth demonstrations
provide services and housing that are developmentally
appropriate for young adults, including connections to
education and employment support, and to provide services for
youth in all four of the HUD categories of homelessness without
a waiver. Further, as part of its data collection, HUD is
encouraged to include separate outcome measures for youth aged
25 and under, including families headed by youth aged 25 and
under, and to gather data on social and emotional well-being,
permanent connections, education and employment, and stable
housing.
The Committee applauds the Department's work to ensure that
the voices of youth with experiences of homelessness are an
integral part of a local community's application and planning
process, and that youth are further integrated into HUD's own
process for reviewing applications for the demonstration. The
Secretary is encouraged to utilize models and practices that
are informed by authentic youth engagement and shared decision-
making, which should include creating and maintaining youth
advisory boards with participation by individuals with lived
experiences of youth homelessness, providing board members
support for their participation, and empowering such boards to
inform youth demonstration coordinated community plans.
Further, the Committee understands that a growing number of
CoCs have identified a need to expand opportunities for youth
but may not have the capacity to undertake the planning that is
required to demonstrate an effective youth homelessness
response model. The Department is directed to submit a report
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within
180 days of enactment of this Act, on the ways HUD can increase
the capacity of CoCs to comprehensively plan for and address
homelessness among youth, including the cost of providing such
assistance.
Rural units.--The Committee notes that the Department has
made great progress to expand housing for people experiencing
homelessness. Housing options and where a person ultimately
secures housing varies based on the market and person seeking
housing, but some prefer living in tiny homes in rural
communities. The Committee is aware that current Federal
housing programs may limit a community's ability to secure
Federal funding for the purchase and construction of rural,
single unit, tiny homes for individuals experiencing
homelessness, which could provide a pathway to stable housing
for people exiting or experiencing homelessness. The Committee
directs the Department to submit, within 180 days of enactment
of this Act, a report detailing the legislative or regulatory
changes that would be required to support such activities, on a
pilot basis, and the feasibility and estimated cost of such
activities. The report should be provided to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations, the House Committee on
Financial Services, and Senate Committee on Banking, Housing,
and Urban Affairs.
Internet access in emergency shelters.--The Committee is
concerned about the lack of internet access and capacity in
emergency shelters and the impacts this has had on students
living in such shelters, particularly throughout the COVID-19
pandemic and remote learning requirements. The Committee notes
that emergency solutions grants can be used to pay for the
costs of carrying out operations and essential services,
including the cost of internet service and devices that help
deliver essential services to residents in emergency shelters.
The Committee encourages the Secretary to issue guidance on how
ESG can be leveraged to address the gaps in internet access or
capacity in emergency shelters.
Advancing nondiscrimination practices.--The Committee
recognizes the role of local CoCs and community-based
organizations in advancing nondiscrimination practices that
support homelessness service providers in responding to the
critical needs of transgender and LGBTQ people in America. The
Committee supports these efforts and encourages HUD to work
with these providers to overcome significant barriers to
securing Federal funding, including lack of previous
development experience, limited ability to secure matching
funds, and limited support from local and state governments,
among others.
Equal Access.--The Committee recognizes the necessity of
the Equal Access rule in helping transgender and non-gender
conforming individuals seeking emergency housing and affirms
their right to be housed safely, regardless of sexual
orientation or gender identity. The Committee further
recognizes HUD's efforts to investigate complaints of housing
discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity
through the Fair Housing Act. In previous years, such
complaints have gone ignored, denying recourse, justice, and
protection to transgender and non-gender conforming individuals
seeking shelter. HUD is directed to prioritize investigating
allegations of discrimination and misgendering against
transgender and non-gender conforming individuals. HUD is also
directed to prioritize outreach to such populations to raise
awareness of their rights and protections under the Fair
Housing Act, including options for filing a complaint.
Serving vulnerable youth populations.--The Committee
recognizes the challenges faced by vulnerable foster youth who
face significantly higher risks of experiencing homelessness,
domestic violence, and sex trafficking. The Committee provides
annual funding under this heading to take local, community-
driven, and innovative approaches to ending housing insecurity
and domestic violence. The Committee encourages HUD to
diligently ensure that the CoC program continues to address all
populations, including vulnerable youth in foster care and
youth who have aged out of foster care.
Mental health support for youth.--LGBTQ youth who
experienced housing instability reported considering suicide at
twice the rate and attempted suicide at more than three times
the rate of LGBTQ youth who had not experienced housing
instability. LGBTQ youth who experience housing instability
were on average younger, transgender or non-gender conforming,
Hispanic or a racial minority, and from families with low-
income. Youth who experienced housing instability also reported
higher rates of discrimination and physical threats or harm
related to their sexual orientation or gender identity. To this
end, the Committee supports projects that facilitate mental
health support for LGBTQ youth by working with specialty
partners to provide educational resources to youth experiencing
housing instability and providing the necessary technology for
youth to confidentially access mental health services in times
of crisis.
Renewal calculation.--The Committee is aware that the CoC
application process takes into account the estimated number and
sizes of units for proposed projects and is used in the
Department's determination of grant amount eligibility.
Grantees have the ability to make changes to unit sizes by
submitting to HUD an amendment to an existing grant agreement
or by revising estimated needs through the renewal process in
order to use grant amounts to support such units. The Committee
encourages the Department to continue working with grantees
through the renewal and grant agreement process to ensure grant
amounts reflect the unit size under lease.

The project-based rental assistance (PBRA) account provides
a rental subsidy to private landlords tied to a specific
housing unit so that the properties themselves, rather than the
individual living in the unit, remain subsidized. PBRA provides
safe, stable, and affordable housing to over 1,200,000 low-
income and very-low income households at approximately 17,000
multifamily housing properties each year. Funding provided
through this account supports the renewal of expiring project-
based contracts, including section 8, moderate rehabilitation,
and single room occupancy contracts; amendments to section 8
project-based contracts; and administrative costs for contract
administration.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $14,010,000,000 for
the project-based rental assistance account to support the
annual renewals and amendments of project-based contracts. Of
the total funds provided, $400,000,000 is for advance
appropriations, $355,000,000 is for performance-based contract
administrators (PBCAs), $30,000,000 is for service coordinators
for the elderly, and $10,000,000 is for tenant education and
outreach, which includes tenant organizing activities, capacity
building and technical assistance, and access to community
services.
PBCAs.--The Department suspended PBCA management and
occupancy reviews from 2011 to 2016 in response to litigation
filed against the Department over the procurement process. The
Committee is troubled by the findings in the HUD OIG report
2020-FW-0001 indicating that this suspension resulted in owners
not meeting contract requirements and HUD incurring more than
$5,600,000 in questionable costs. Furthermore, the Department's
lack of monitoring resulted in ongoing compliance issues which
have resulted in the physical deterioration of some properties
and put the health and safety of residents at risk. The HUD OIG
report demonstrates the important role PBCAs play in providing
oversight and ensuring safety for residents. The Committee
reiterates its concern about the Department's PBCA solicitation
procedures, which have resulted in litigation, and due to the
contract structure have increased costs and created the
potential for excessive profits. While HUD worked with PBCAs to
reinstate management and occupancy reviews in 2016 and extended
annual contributions contracts for existing PBCAs to prevent
further disruptions to program operations, the Committee notes
that the annual contributions contracts are set to expire in
January 2022. The Committee understands that HUD is working to
develop a new solicitation for PBCA contracts that takes into
account decisions by the Federal Circuit and Court of Appeals,
complies with the Competition in Contracting Act, and meets
requirements under the Federal Acquisition Regulations. The
Committee reiterates that it is HUD's responsibility to
implement a new competition and award procedure that includes
stakeholder comments, full and open competition, and is
compliant with all Federal laws and regulatory requirements.
The Committee is also aware of the impact that COVID-19 may
have on the capacity of PBCAs and stakeholders to respond to
future contract or award opportunities and encourages HUD to
take this into consideration.
Reimbursement delays.--The Committee notes with
disappointment that the Department has not submitted a report
required by House Report 116-452 providing information on PHAs
which converted housing units under the rental assistance
demonstration program to be funded through PBRA and are
experiencing late payments. The Committee directs HUD to
complete this report and submit it to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations no later than 30 days after
enactment of this Act.
HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $855,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 928,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 1,033,000,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +178,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. +105,000,000
The Housing for the Elderly (Section 202) program provides
eligible private, non-profit organizations with capital grants
to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation or construction of
housing intended for low-income, elderly people. In addition,
the program provides project-based rental assistance contracts
(PRAC) to support operational costs for units constructed under
the program.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee provides $1,033,000,000 for Housing for the
Elderly, to remain available until September 30, 2025, which
will fully fund contract renewals and amendments. Within the
total amount provided, up to $125,000,000 is provided for
service coordinators and the continuation of congregate
services grants to provide supportive services for residents,
which will fully fund the renewal of approximately 1,600
existing Service Coordinator and Congregate Housing Services
grants plus new awards that will be determined based on the
results of the 2021 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). This
recommendation provides $205,000,000 for new construction of
affordable senior housing, including up to $10,000,000 for
intergenerational housing. This will provide for approximately
2,250 new units for seniors. To further the goal of making HUD-
assisted properties more energy efficient and more resilient to
extreme weather events, the bill allows the Secretary to give
preference to projects that promote water and energy efficiency
or seek to increase resilience to natural hazards. The
Committee directs the Department to provide a report to the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 180 days
of enactment of this Act on ways the Department can further the
goals of energy efficiency and resiliency in Section 202
housing.
Investments in new construction.--The Committee
recommendation includes $205,000,000 for new capital advances
to address the acute shortage of affordable housing for
seniors. From fiscal years 2018-2021, the Committee provided a
total of $298,000,000 in funds for new construction. To date,
the Department has only awarded a total of $51,647,750 for 18
awards to create an estimated 1,100 units for very low-income
seniors, and a significant portion of funds have yet to be made
available. The Committee directs the Department to make all
remaining funding provided in fiscal years 2018, 2019, 2020,
and 2021 available within 60 days of enactment of this Act, and
to award that funding within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
Continuation of the Integrated Wellness in Supportive
Housing (IWISH) demonstration.--The Committee directs the
Department to provide an update to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations on the IWISH demonstration within
60 days of enactment of this Act.
Intergenerational housing.--The Committee recognizes the
critical need to provide housing opportunities for grandparents
raising grandchildren in high poverty urban and rural areas.
This need has only increased due to the opioid crisis. The
Committee provides up to $10,000,000 to expand the supply of
intergenerational dwelling units as described in the Legacy Act
(P.L. 108-186).
HOUSING FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $227,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 272,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 352,000,000

The Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811)
program provides eligible private, non-profit organizations
with capital grants to finance the acquisition, rehabilitation
or construction of supportive housing for disabled persons and
provides project-based rental assistance (PRAC) to support
operational costs for such units.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee provides $352,000,000 for Section 811
activities, which will fully fund project rental assistance and
project assistance contract renewals and amendments, to remain
available until September 30, 2025. The recommendation also
includes $160,000,000 for new capital advances and project
rental assistance contracts to increase the availability of
affordable housing for persons with disabilities. To further
the goal of making HUD-assisted properties more energy
efficient and more resilient to extreme weather events, the
bill allows the Secretary to give preference to projects that
promote water and energy efficiency or seek to increase
resilience to natural hazards. The Committee directs the
Department to provide a report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of
this Act on ways the Department can further the goals of energy
efficiency and resiliency in Section 811 housing. The
recommendation continues to include bill language allowing
funds to be used for inspections and analysis of data by HUD's
REAC program office.
Investments in new construction.--The Committee
recommendation includes $160,000,000 for new capital advances
and project rental assistance contracts to increase the
availability of affordable housing for persons with
disabilities. This will provide for approximately 1,800 new
affordable housing units for persons with disabilities. From
fiscal years 2018-2021, the Committee provided a total of
$206,755,00 for capital advances and project rental assistance
contracts. Thus far, the Department has issued Notices of
Funding Availability (NOFA) or Notices of Funding Opportunity
(NOFO) for $112,000,000, but final awards have yet to be made.
The Committee directs the Department to expeditiously make all
remaining funding provided in fiscal years 2018, 2019, 2020,
and 2021 available within 60 days of enactment of this Act and
to award that funding within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
Importance of supportive services.--House Report 116-06 and
House Report 116-452 directed the Department to provide a
report on: vacancy rates and wait lists (by state); how Section
811-funded projects are partnering with service providers,
including state health and human services departments and
Medicaid agencies to provide access to community-based
supportive services; and recommendations for ensuring that
necessary supportive services for tenants are provided in all
units. The Committee has yet to receive the report and
reiterates the direction included in the past two fiscal years
and expects the Department to provide this report to the House
and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 30 days of
enactment of this Act.
Supportive services for persons with disabilities.--The
Committee understands that supportive services for persons with
disabilities may be provided through state health and human
services and Medicaid agencies to support independent living.
However, not all individuals living in Section 811 housing
require the types of intensive services offered by those
agencies, but may still need some level of support services or
assistance. In order to help property owners provide additional
support to aid in self-sufficiency and connection to community
resources, the Committee recommendation allows excess residual
receipts to be used to pay for supportive services, including a
service coordinator, not currently covered by HUD or other
governmental agencies in an area for which a Section 811
household resides. The Department is further directed to issue
guidance to property owners on how they can work with local
supportive service agencies to leverage services for residents.
HOUSING COUNSELING ASSISTANCE
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $77,500,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 85,900,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 100,000,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +22,500,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. +14,100,000
The housing counseling assistance program, authorized under
section 106 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968,
works with a nationwide network of housing counseling agencies
and counselors to provide tools to current and prospective
homeowners and renters so that they can make responsible
choices to address their housing needs. Housing counseling
services range from addressing homelessness and preventing
foreclosures and evictions to planning for first-time home
purchases. Housing counselors also provide assistance to
victims of natural disasters.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
For fiscal year 2022, the Committee recommends $100,000,000
for housing counseling assistance in the Office of Housing
Counseling (OHC) and provides $20,000,000 for legal assistance
grants in the Office of Policy Development and Research (PDR).
These grants were initially funded in fiscal year 2021 under
this heading and the fiscal year 2022 budget requests funding
for these grants in OHC, but they are being administered by
PDR.
Home inspection.--The Committee reminds the Department to
provide training to housing counseling agencies (HCAs) on the
availability and importance of obtaining an independent home
inspection (12 U.S.C. 1701x-1(d)) and directs the Department to
remind HCAs of their obligation to provide each client, as part
of the home purchase counseling process, with HUD Document
92564-CN ``For Your Protection: Get a Home Inspection'' (12
U.S.C. 1701x-1(a)).
Limited English proficiency.--The Committee directs the OHC
to remind HCAs of their obligation to provide meaningful
support to limited English proficient communities, including
recruiting, certifying, and training additional bi- and multi-
lingual housing counselors.
Pre- and post-purchase homeownership counseling.--The
excitement and enjoyment of homeownership, especially for
first-time buyers, must not be overshadowed by the serious and
continuous financial and legal responsibilities that are
required of homeowners. Pre-purchase counseling is an
opportunity for potential homeowners to assess their readiness
to purchase a home and to learn about the process of obtaining
a mortgage loan, the costs and responsibilities associated with
maintaining a home, and basic personal finance matters, such as
credit and budgeting. Post-purchase counseling completes a
homeowner's education with an understanding of emergency
preparedness, energy and water efficiency, fire and flood
prevention, refinancing, and home sale. To improve the
likelihood that terms and conditions of a mortgage is well-
matched with the personal and financial circumstances of an
individual before home purchase and throughout homeownership,
not less than $5,000,000 of the funds made available under this
heading is for participants in the HOME down payment assistance
program to receive pre- and post- purchase counseling from HUD-
approved housing counselors.
Real estate wire fraud.--The Committee looks forward to the
Department's report on its efforts to educate consumers on real
estate fraud as required by the Consolidated Appropriations Act
of 2021 (P.L. 116-260) and encourages the development of
brochures and flyers for HCAs to distribute to clients.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) provides mortgage
insurance for the purchase, refinance, and rehabilitation of
single-family homes. FHA mortgage insurance is designed to
encourage lenders to make credit available to borrowers whom
the conventional market perceives as bearing more risk,
including first-time homebuyers, minorities, lower-income
families, and residents of underserved areas.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
FHA loan limits.--The Committee encourages HUD to use the
highest possible median house price to calculate FHA loan
limits for metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) that
experienced a drop in FHA loan limits of 20 percent or more
when the Housing Economic Recovery Act went into effect. To
qualify, MSAs must be at least 1,300 square miles or more in
land area.
Small dollar loans.--The Committee looks forward to the
Department's report on single-family mortgage insurance
policies, practices, and products for mortgages having an
original principal obligation of $70,000 or less as required by
the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (P.L. 116-260).

The FHA's general insurance and special risk insurance (GI
and SRI) program account includes 17 different programs
administered by FHA. The GI fund includes a wide variety of
insurance programs for special-purpose single and multifamily
loans, including loans for property improvements, manufactured
housing, multifamily rental housing, condominiums, housing for
the elderly, hospitals, group practice facilities, and nursing
homes. The SRI fund includes insurance programs for mortgages
in older, declining urban areas that would not be otherwise
eligible for insurance, mortgages with interest reduction
payments, and mortgages for experimental housing and for high-
risk mortgagors who would not normally be eligible for mortgage
insurance without housing counseling.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Housing finance agency risk sharing.--The Committee notes
the HUD Office of Multifamily Housing Programs' intention to
use its administrative authority under section 542(c) of P.L.
102-550 (12 U.S.C. 1707) to enter into risk-sharing
arrangements to help state and local housing finance agencies
provide more insurance and credit for multifamily loans. The
Committee appreciates that the Department has recognized the
importance that section 542(c) has played in development of
affordable multifamily housing.

Title V of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970,
as amended, directs the Secretary of the Department of Housing
and Urban Development to undertake programs of research,
evaluation, and reports relating to the Department's mission
and programs. These functions are carried out internally and
through grants and contracts with industry, nonprofit research
organizations, educational institutions, and through agreements
with state and local governments and other Federal agencies.
The research programs seek ways to improve the efficiency,
effectiveness, and equity of HUD programs and to identify
methods to achieve cost reductions. This appropriation is used
to support HUD evaluation and monitoring activities and to
conduct housing surveys. Finally, funds under this heading are
used to support technical assistance activities to the various
states, communities, and agencies that are charged with
administering HUD's programs and funds.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $185,000,000 for this account. Of
the amounts provided under this heading, $20,000,000 is for
legal assistance grants. These grants were initially funded in
fiscal year 2021 and included in the fiscal year 2022 budget
request under the heading ``Housing Counseling Assistance'' but
are administered by the Office of Policy Development and
Research (PDR).
The Committee recommends up to $81,500,000 for the core
research programs, including market surveys, research support
and dissemination, data acquisition, housing finance studies,
research partnerships, and housing technology, and $20,000,000
for cooperative agreements and research partnerships with
historically Black colleges and universities and Hispanic
serving institutions.
The Committee recommends $24,100,000 for new and continuing
studies and demonstration evaluations, including the:
Mobility demonstration evaluation,
Family options long term tracking study,
Choice neighborhoods initiative,
Stakeholder engagement for national
evictions database,
Evaluation of the emergency housing voucher
program (EHV),
Evictions legal assistance demonstration,
Evictions among HUD-assisted households,
PHA use of COVID-19 waivers and effects for
PHAs and tenants,
FHA's role in closing the homeownership gap
and preserving homeownership during economic decline,
and
Advanced research projects agency for
climate.
Further, the Committee recommendation includes no less than
$50,000,000 for all technical assistance, including assistance
to grantees receiving allocations for SUPPORT Act activities
under the heading ``Community Development Fund''. Of the funds
made available under technical assistance, $7,500,000 shall be
available on a competitive basis to non-profit or private
sector organizations to provide technical assistance to units
of general local government or non-profit organizations that
serve distressed areas, prioritizing applications for
jurisdictions containing persistent poverty census tracts where
20 percent or more of the population living in poverty as
measured by the 1990 and 2000 decennial census and the most
recent five-year data series available from the American
Community Survey of the Census Bureau, and any territory or
possession of the United States. Such targeted technical
assistance may include outreach efforts for local governments
that have persistent poverty tracts in their jurisdiction.
As in prior years, the Committee includes a provision
prohibiting funds from being used for a doctoral dissertation
research grant program. The Committee also includes a general
provision in Title II that allows the Department to use prior
year deobligated or unexpended funds made available to PDR for
other research and evaluations. The Committee provides this
authority under the condition that any new obligations are
subject to the regular reprogramming procedures outlined in
section 405 of this Act.
Eviction prevention.--More than 6,300 individuals living in
America are evicted every day--nearly one eviction every four
minutes. Low-income women, especially women of color, are at
particularly high risk of eviction. Only 10 percent of tenants
in eviction cases have legal representation, while 90 percent
of landlords do. The Committee recommendation provides
$20,000,000 for competitive grants to nonprofit or governmental
entities to provide legal assistance, including assistance
related to pretrial activities, trial activities, post-trial
activities, and alternative dispute resolution, at no cost to
eligible low-income tenants at risk of or subject to eviction.
The Committee also directs the Department to remind grantees
that the ESG program can be used as a tool to prevent
evictions.
Higher education and community partnerships.--The Committee
is aware that many localities across the country lack the
staff, resources, or expertise to fully utilize the many
opportunities available to them and supports the partnership
and critical role that anchor institutions of higher education
play in communities and in achieving the Department's mission.
Of the amounts made available under this heading, up to
$5,000,000 is available to competitively award a cooperative
agreement for institutions of higher education or nonprofit
entities that train and support institutions of higher
education, to conduct research or provide technical assistance
on matters related to economic opportunity, reducing
homelessness, stable homeownership, disaster resiliency,
equity, environmental and climate justice in housing,
sustainable housing options and practices, expanding services
focused on social determinants of health, workforce
development, or other areas that improve the long-term capacity
of communities or otherwise address priorities of PDR. In
addition, the Committee urges the Department to include funding
for its Office of University Partnerships in its fiscal year
2023 congressional budget justification.
Thriving and sustainable communities.--Homebuyers and
homebuilders are faced with limited access to financing,
increasing building material costs, a limited pool of skilled
labor, and restrictive land-use policies. Local zoning and
planning policies can also prevent the integration of housing
and transportation development, disconnecting communities from
access to public transit, jobs, public services, and other
necessities. The Committee provides funding within DOT to
support the planning and revisioning of distressed and
disconnected communities through the thriving communities
initiative and directs that up to $5,000,000 of the amounts
provided under this heading for technical assistance shall be
used by HUD to work with DOT to ensure housing and
infrastructure development is taken into consideration as part
of this initiative. The Department is directed to brief the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its progress
no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act. The
Committee further directs the Department to provide a report to
the Committees within 270 days of enactment of this Act on ways
the Department can work with local governments to foster reform
and reduce barriers, including through the reform of existing
building codes and zoning ordinances, to achieve affordable,
economically vital, and sustainable communities and discourage
inefficient land-use patterns.
Broadband access for HUD-assisted households.--The
Committee recognizes that broadband infrastructure barriers and
high monthly costs result in HUD-assisted households often
receiving inadequate access to internet and capacity not
provided through a personal cellular device. Using amounts made
available for core research programs, the Committee directs HUD
to complete an analysis of the extent to which this problem
exists, the results of which are to be made publicly available
within one year of enactment of this Act. As part of this
analysis, the Committee directs the Department to explore
potential methods for providing high-quality, subsidized
broadband to HUD-assisted households, including through the
expansion of monthly utility subsidies to include broadband,
and the cost for building such capacity. The Committee
recognizes broadband access is a particularly urgent concern in
many rural communities and directs that this analysis include
options for expanding broadband access to HUD-assisted
households in rural areas.
Housing smart.--The Committee is aware of promising
initiatives developed by nonprofit community groups in
collaboration with local health systems and public housing
agencies that are targeted at homeless and unstably housed
individuals who are frequent users of expensive and relatively
inefficient medical care provided by emergency departments at
hospitals. These initiatives work across different areas of
core competency to provide safe, affordable housing together
with ancillary medical, behavioral, substance use disorder,
nutritional, and employment or job training services. Some
participants demonstrate significant improvements in their
health, sustainable incomes, and reduced use of emergency and
other expensive medical services. The Committee encourages the
Department to support research to understand the cost
effectiveness of such approach, and to coordinate such
activities with the Department of Health and Human Services.
Roofing and housing rehabilitation for seniors.--The
Committee is concerned about the prospect of seniors not being
able to afford roofing and housing rehabilitation, which could
lead to unsafe living conditions that could lead to increased
poverty for this vulnerable population. The Committee is
troubled by the impact and cost burden that roof repair and
housing rehabilitation may place on seniors, therefore, the
Committee directs HUD to within 120 days of enactment of this
Act report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
on the estimated number of seniors that are unable to afford to
have their homes reroofed and rehabilitated by geographical
region.
Affordable housing and child care.--The Committee remains
concerned about the need to better integrate access to
affordable housing and high-quality child care and notes that
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260)
provided funding for a research collaboration with the
Department of Health and Human Services to better promote and
prioritize on-site child care supportive services for HUD-
assisted families. The Committee looks forward to reviewing the
findings of this research collaboration and directs the
Department to keep the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations apprised of its progress and any interim
findings during the course of its assessment.
Innovation in climate and resiliency.--Based on data from
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, climate
projections for cities across the country indicate they will
continue to get hotter and wetter for decades to come, even
under emissions reductions scenarios. Hotter temperatures and
the increased frequency and severity of storms will continue to
harm public health, damage homes and infrastructure, and result
in billions of dollars in clean-up and recovery costs. These
impacts have not and will continue to not be felt equally, with
low-income individuals and people of color more at risk of
being harmed, and less likely to fully recover after disruptive
events. These dire projections require a holistic adaptation
and resiliency program to inform future development, identify
critical vulnerabilities, and engage residents in efforts to
increase community resiliency. Municipalities across the
country have developed and are implementing interagency climate
adaptation and resiliency plans to create more resilient cities
through planning, development, and engagement. Adaptation and
resilient strategies include updating zoning and land use
requirements, as well as investments in flooding mitigation,
tree planting, cool roof installation, and home weatherization,
among other activities. The Department is directed to
prioritize amounts provided under this heading for the Office
of Innovation for climate adaptation and resiliency innovation.
Housing innovation.--The Committee recognizes the important
work that the Office of Innovation does to advance solutions to
make housing more affordable and resilient. The Committee
directs the Office of Innovation to establish a pilot program
that challenges the affordable housing industry to
substantially drive down the cost of affordable housing design
and production, which shall include an evaluation of vertically
integrated modular housing development.
Eviction counseling.--Nearly one million households in the
United States were evicted in 2016 and the Committee is
concerned about the short- and long-term effects of these
evictions on families and individuals. The Committee provides
funding for a new pilot study to explore the incidence of
evictions among HUD-assisted households in order to understand
eviction trends and to inform a larger study of evictions in
HUD-assisted housing. The Committee directs HUD to work with
housing counselors to identify the predominant causes of
evictions and to report to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations within 120 days of enactment of this Act on
efforts to improve their processes, including the
identification of any barriers to the collection of data on at-
risk households, as well as to augment the services offered by
housing counselors.
Demolition of abandoned properties.--Concentrations of
abandoned properties negatively impact the long-term viability
of the communities in which they are located and undermine the
potential positive impacts of other infrastructure
improvements. When undertaken strategically and directed by a
coherent long-term strategy for addressing vacant and abandoned
structures, demolition of abandoned properties can alleviate
these challenges. The Department is directed to examine
property demolition programs, including the neighborhood
stabilization program, and report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of
this Act on the feasibility and reasonableness of these types
of programs.
Digitizing housing code violations.--The Committee is
troubled by reports of deplorable living conditions found in
HUD-subsidized properties and properties in the rental market
in cities and towns that receive funding through the community
development block grant (CDBG) program. The scope of this issue
spans geographic regions and highlights systemic problems in
the affordable housing rental market. Individuals and families
have the right to know if the home they may be renting has had
repeated housing code violations without having to file a
Freedom of Information Act request.
The Committee directs the Department to complete a
feasibility study on the extent to which HUD can help cities
and localities digitize housing codes for public view,
including the associated costs. The Department shall submit the
feasibility study to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations within 120 days of enactment of this Act.
Fair market rents.--The Committee is aware of the concerns
regarding the data used to calculate fair market rents and
directs the Department to work with its authorizing
congressional committees to develop statutory flexibilities for
operating the voucher program in such a way that vouchers are
usable in rapidly rising rental markets. The Committee further
directs the Department to study the correlation of rapidly
rising rental markets and areas, defined as high-growth by the
latest census data, and report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations on its findings within 120 days of
enactment of this Act.
Factory-built housing.--As noted throughout this report,
the Committee supports expanding affordable housing. HUD is
responsible for research into strategies that increase
efficiency in housing manufacturing. The Committee urges HUD to
continue research to identify areas that could benefit from
factory-built housing, regulatory barriers to factory-built
housing, and impacts of those barriers on communities.

The Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (OFHEO) is
responsible for implementation, enforcement, administration,
development, and public understanding of federal fair housing
policies and laws. OFHEO manages fair housing grants,
investigates discrimination complaints, conducts civil rights
compliance reviews, and ensures civil rights protections are
included in HUD programs, with the overall goal of preventing
housing discrimination.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The bill provides $85,000,000 for OFHEO. The following
table provides the funding for various fair housing activities
undertaken by the office:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Request Recommendation

Total......................... 85,000,000 85,000,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of the funds provided for FHIP, not less than $10,400,000
is for education and outreach programs, and not less than
$3,700,000 is for fair housing organization initiatives.
In addition, the American Rescue Plan Act, 2021 (P.L. 117-
2) included $19,400,000 for Fair Housing Activities to address
fair housing inquiries, complaints, investigations, education
and outreach activities, and costs of delivering or adapting
services, during or relating to COVID-19.
Application of the Fair Housing Act.--The Committee
recognizes that the Departments of Justice (DOJ) and HUD are
jointly responsible for the enforcement of the Fair Housing
Act. In 2016, these Departments issued a joint statement on the
Fair Housing Act's requirements as it relates to state and
local land use practices and zoning laws. The Committee directs
HUD to conduct additional legal analysis, in consultation with
DOJ, to determine the fullest extent to which the Fair Housing
Act can be used to determine when state and local zoning and
land use policy violates Federal law and to report its findings
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
Tester coordinator training.--The Committee directs the
Department to operate a comprehensive tester coordinator
training program and to provide ongoing training, technical
assistance, and resources to test coordinators working in fair
housing organizations. Upon the publication of the fiscal year
2022 tester training NOFO, the Department is directed to
clearly outline grantee eligibility requirements, provide
thorough guidance, and indicate any changes from the previous
NOFO so prospective grantees can plan their application
strategies with sufficient notice before the submission
deadline. HUD shall ensure technical assistance remains an
eligible use of funds in the fiscal year 2022 tester training
NOFO. Additionally, the Department shall not merge existing
tester coordinator training with other fair housing activities,
including the national fair housing training academy.
Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes
LEAD HAZARD REDUCTION
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $360,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 400,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 460,000,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +100,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. +60,000,000
The Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes
(OLHCHH) is responsible for the administration of the lead-
based paint hazard reduction program authorized by title X of
the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. Through the
healthy homes initiative (HHI), the office also addresses
multiple housing-related hazards affecting the health of
residents, particularly children. The office develops lead-
based paint regulations, guidelines, and policies applicable to
HUD programs, and enforces the Lead Disclosure Rule issued
under title X. For both lead-related and healthy homes issues,
the office designs and administers programs for grants,
training, research, demonstration, and education.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation includes $460,000,000 for the
OLHCHH. Of this amount, the Committee provides $85,000,000 for
the healthy homes initiative and directs the Department to fund
activities aimed at reducing incidences of asthma, mold, noise,
pests, and radon. The recommendation also includes $60,000,000
for a housing choice voucher lead risk assessment demonstration
and allows up to $2,000,000 to be transferred from the OLHCHH
to PDR for research and studies.
HCV lead risk assessment demonstration.--The Committee
notes the value of the OLHCHH as a tool to eliminate childhood
lead poisoning. Lead risk assessments are essential in halting
exposure to lead-based paint hazards, which has a devastating
long-term impact on children's health. The Committee recognizes
the need for increased lead inspection standards within HCV
units occupied by a child under age 6. The Department continues
to assert that it does not have the statutory authority to
require more than a visual lead assessment in HCV units, and
those limited actions are only required when a child under age
6 resides or is expected to reside in the unit.
According to a recent GAO report (GAO-21-325), voucher
holders lived in 2.1 million housing units as of year-end 2019.
Of these units, 1.1 million, or 53 percent, were built before
1978--the year the United States banned the use of lead paint
in housing. Of these pre-1978 units, 171,000, or 16 percent,
were occupied by families that included about 229,000 young
children. Given the estimated prevalence of young children
living in voucher-supported housing units that may be exposed
to the risk of the lead, the Committee provides $60,000,000 for
a HCV lead risk assessment demonstration and directs HUD to
provide the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with
a report on the implementation and findings of this
demonstration, including whether public housing agencies can
effectively incorporate a lead risk assessment or a lead hazard
screening into the HCV unit inspection process while preserving
rental housing availability and affordability.
Lead in drinking water.--The Committee encourages the
Secretary to work in coordination with the EPA's programs to
mitigate sources of lead exposure from water from the public
water supply, ambient air, and industrial emissions.
Multiple health hazards in homes.--The HHI strives to
protect children and their families from housing-related health
and safety hazards. Among these health and safety concerns are
mold, noise, allergens, asthma, pesticides, and volatile
organic compounds. The presence of these multiple hazards
exacerbates existing health problems and can lead to new
physical and psychological ones. The Committee directs the
OLHCHH to give homes with multiple hazards priority
consideration.
Radon.--The Committee looks forward to an update from the
Department as required by the Consolidated Appropriations Act
of 2021 (P.L. 116-260) on two outstanding commitments outlined
in the Federal Radon Action Plan.
Information Technology Fund
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $300,000,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 323,200,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 278,200,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... -21,800,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. -45,000,000
The appropriations pays for the information technology (IT)
systems that support departmental programs and operations,
including mortgage insurance, housing assistance and grant
programs, as well as core financial and general operations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Native advantage.--The Committee notes that the Department
has tried over several years with limited success to deploy an
IT system for the Office of Native American Programs' (ONAP)
section 184 program and to implement corrective actions to the
HUD OIG recommendations identified in reports 2015-LA-0002,
2018-LA-0801, and 2018-OE-0004. In 2020, the OCIO and ONAP
determined that replicating the FHA catalyst IT system for the
section 184 and section 184A programs could address an
immediate need to transition a paper-based process to an
electronic solution in the face of COVID-19, as well as the
long-term needs for a functional IT system. The Committee
supports the OCIO's efforts to develop the native advantage IT
system, its plans to add additional functionality to better
support ONAP's loan guarantee process, and once completed
support the full loan life cycle. The Committee directs the
OCIO to continue to work collaboratively with ONAP on native
advantage to ensure this IT system meets the needs of the
section 184 and section 184A programs and addresses the
remaining open HUD OIG recommendations.
Performance plans and budget request.--The Committee looks
forward to the performance plans and quarterly updates on the
PIH and FHA IT modernization initiatives required by the
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (P.L. 116-260) and
continued discussion with the Department about its development,
modernization, and enhancement needs. The Committee directs the
OCIO to include in its fiscal year 2023 budget request for the
IT Fund a detailed cost and schedule of its information
technology activities. For each activity, the OCIO shall
provide the prior, current, and upcoming lifecycle stage,
costs, and benefits; identify risks and mitigation plans; and
procurement strategy.
Office of Inspector General
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $137,200,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 147,000,000
Recommended in the bill............................... 145,000,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +7,800,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022.................. -2,000,000
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) provides agency-wide
audit and investigative functions to identify and correct
management and administrative deficiencies that create
conditions for waste, fraud, and mismanagement. The audit
function provides internal audit, contract audit, and
inspection services. Contract audits provide professional
advice to agency contracting officials on accounting and
financial matters relative to negotiation, award,
administration, re-pricing, and settlement of contracts.
Internal audits evaluate all facets of agency operations.
Inspection services provide detailed technical evaluations of
agency operations. The investigative function provides for the
detection and investigation of improper and illegal activities
involving programs, personnel, and operations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $145,000,000 for the Office of
Inspector General.
The Committee recognizes the importance of the OIG's role
in safeguarding against waste and fraud and upholding HUD as a
principled and financially sound agency and therefore provides
the OIG with funding for external audits. The congressionally
mandated and self-initiated reports and investigations
undertaken by the OIG continue to be extremely helpful to the
Committee.

The United States Access Board (Access Board) was
established by section 502 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
with the mission of promoting equality for people with
disabilities through accessible design and the development of
accessibility guidelines and standards for the built
environment, transportation, communication, medical diagnostic
equipment, and information technology.
The Access Board is responsible for developing guidelines
under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Architectural
Barriers Act, and the Communications Act, as well as for
developing standards under the Rehabilitation Act for
accessible electronic and information technology used by
Federal agencies. The Access Board enforces the Architectural
Barriers Act and provides training and technical assistance on
its guidelines and standards. The Access Board serves on the
election assistance commission's board of advisors and
technical guidelines development committee to assist in
developing voluntary guidelines for voting systems, including
accessibility for people with disabilities. Additionally, the
Access Board maintains a small research program that develops
technical assistance materials and provides information needed
for rulemaking.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $9,750,000 for the operations of
the Access Board.
Rulemakings.--The Committee recognizes that executive order
13771, ``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory
Costs'', for the past four years hindered the Access Board's
ability to proceed with vital rulemakings. The Committee is
pleased that with the executive order now reversed by the new
administration, the agency can continue its mission and
continue with the Public Rights-of-Way Accessible Guidelines
and Americans with Disabilities Act Guidelines for
Transportation Vehicles rulemakings that have been put on hold
for the last four years.

Established in 1961, the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC)
is an independent agency, responsible for the regulation of
ocean-borne transportation in the foreign commerce of the
United States. The FMC monitors ocean common carriers, marine
terminal operators, conferences, ports, and ocean
transportation intermediaries to ensure they maintain just and
reasonable practices. Among other activities, the FMC also
maintains a trade monitoring and enforcement program, monitors
the laws and practices of foreign governments and their impacts
on shipping conditions in the U.S., and enforces special
regulatory requirements as they apply to controlled carriers.
The principal shipping statutes administered by the FMC are
the Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. 40101-44106), the Foreign
Shipping Practices Act of 1988 (46 U.S.C. 42301-42307), section
19 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920 (46 U.S.C. 42101-42109),
sections 2 and 3 of Public Law 89-777, and section 834 of the
Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-
282).
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $31,398,000 for the
FMC. Of the total funds provided, up to $577,781 is available
for the Office of Inspector General.
Staffing.--The Committee provides $525,000 above the budget
request to support the hiring of additional full-time
equivalents. The FMC may use these additional resources to
further the statutorily established purpose of the FMC to
``promote the growth and development of United States exports
through competitive and efficient ocean transportation and by
placing a greater reliance on the marketplace'' (46 U.S.C.
40101(4)), including to support the Office of Consumer Affairs
and Dispute Resolution Services (CADRS), Bureau of Enforcement
(BOE), Area Representatives (ARs), Bureau of Trade Analysis,
Office of the Secretary, the national shipper advisory
committee, fact finding investigations, and for necessary
support services. The Committee understands that the FMC has
initiated a review of the CADRS' caseload to determine if
additional resources would benefit U.S. exporters and importers
and other supply chain participants. The Committee urges the
FMC to conduct a similar review of the BOE. The FMC should use
these assessments to help inform its hiring decisions. Further,
the Committee directs the FMC to brief the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations no later than 60 days after
enactment of this Act detailing its hiring plans for these
additional resources.
Shipping practices.--On March 31, 2020, the FMC initiated
fact finding 29 in response to supply chain impacts related to
COVID-19 and to help identify operational solutions to cargo
delivery system challenges. The initial findings from fact
finding 29 led the FMC to approve a supplemental order on
November 20, 2020 to authorize a formal investigation to
examine issues related to detention and demurrage practices,
container return practices, and the availability of containers
for export cargo and to determine if the policies and practices
of vessel-operating common carries (VOCCs) violate section
44102(c) of title 46, United States Code. The Committee
understands that the FMC issued information demand orders to
VOCCs and marine terminal operators (MTOs) on these practices
and is in the process of reviewing the information received.
Further, the FMC voted on May 19, 2021 to formally establish
the national shipper advisory committee which was created by
the Elijah E. Cummings Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2020
(P.L. 116-283) for exporters and importers to advise the FMC on
policies relating to the competitiveness, reliability,
integrity, and fairness of the international ocean freight
delivery system. The Committee directs the FMC to brief the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, the House
Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and the Senate
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation no later
than 90 days after enactment of this Act on the progress of
fact finding 29 and its investigation, any subsequent
enforcement actions, and an analysis on any additional
resources and authorities the FMC may deem necessary as a
result of the findings from fact finding 29.
Further, the Committee notes that the fines and penalties
that the FMC assessed in fiscal year 2020 totaled just $103,
which is a significant decrease from $660,125 in fiscal year
2019 and $1,108,194 in fiscal year 2018. The Committee
encourages the FMC to use its existing authorities and
enforcement tools to investigate and address instances in which
VOCCs that are regulated under the Shipping Act of 1984 are
engaging in unfair or unjust discriminatory practices, giving
undue or unreasonable preferences, or unreasonably refusing to
deal or negotiate. In addition, the Committee directs the FMC,
through the CADRS, to continue to assist U.S. exporters and
importers, ocean transportation intermediaries (OTIs), and
truckers in engaging with VOCCs and MTOs, and, as requested,
intercede on their behalf in disputes with such entities.
Section 46106 of title 46, United States Code, requires the
FMC to submit an annual report to Congress no later than April
1 of each year. The Committee notes that the 59th Annual Report
for Fiscal Year 2020 submitted to Congress on March 31, 2021
provided details on the work of the CADRS through alternative
dispute resolution, ombuds, and mediation services, the BOE and
ARs through investigations and enforcement cases, and formal
proceedings through investigations, private complaints, and
litigation. In addition to providing such information for
fiscal year 2021, the Committee directs the FMC to detail
efforts across the agency to protect U.S. exporters and
importers, OTIs, and truckers against unfair and unjust
discriminatory practices, including instances where the CADRS
responded to a request by a U.S. exporter or importer, OTI, or
trucker for assistance with a commercial cargo matter, in the
60th Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2021 which the FMC is to
deliver to Congress no later than April 1, 2022 as required by
section 46106 of title 46, United States Code.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is an independent,
objective unit responsible for detecting and preventing fraud,
waste, abuse, and violations of law and for promoting
efficiencies and effectiveness at Amtrak.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides $26,762,000 for the
OIG. The recommendation will allow the OIG to undertake audits,
evaluations, and investigations and will ensure effective
oversight of Amtrak's programs and operations. The OIG's
efforts have resulted in valuable reports and recommendations
for the Committee and for Amtrak that have yielded cost savings
and management improvements.
COVID-19 oversight.--The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (P.L. 116-136), Coronavirus
Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021
(CRRSAA, P.L. 116-260), and American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
(ARPA, P.L. 117-2) provided a combined $3,718,000,000 to Amtrak
in supplemental funding in fiscal years 2020 and 2021 to
support Amtrak's workforce, operations, and response to COVID-
19. The Committee appreciates the work done to date by the OIG
to monitor and assess Amtrak's use, accounting, and reporting
of this funding, issuing interim observations on the CARES Act
on August 5, 2020, final observations on the CARES Act on
December 15, 2020, and an assessment on CRRSAA on May 12, 2021.
The Committee is pleased that Amtrak has established and
implemented effective controls, has incorporated the OIG's
suggestions for improving accountability and transparency, and
overall has demonstrated good stewardship of this funding,
according to the OIG. As Amtrak continues to implement CRRSAA
and ARPA, the Committee directs the OIG to continue to monitor
Amtrak's use, accounting, and reporting of this funding and any
other authorized use of Federal funds provided to Amtrak in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, the Committee
directs the OIG to notify the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations of any anomalies it finds through its monitoring
of CRRSSA and ARPA spending and any other authorized use of
Federal funds provided to Amtrak in response to the COVID-19
pandemic.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is an
independent federal agency charged by Congress with
investigating every civil aviation accident in the United
States, as well as significant accidents in other modes of
transportation--including railroad, highway, marine, and
pipeline--and issuing safety recommendations aimed at
preventing future accidents.
In addition to its investigatory duties, the NTSB is
responsible for maintaining the government's database of civil
aviation accidents and conducting special studies of
transportation safety issues of national significance.
Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of international
treaties, the NTSB supplies investigators to serve as U.S.
accredited representatives for aviation accidents overseas
involving U.S.-registered aircraft, or involving aircraft or
major components of U.S. manufacture.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Most wanted list.--The Committee appreciates the NTSB's
effort to increase transparency in its selection of
transportation safety issues for its annual most wanted list in
response to the recommendations in GAO-20-395 and looks forward
to GAO's review of these efforts.

Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $165,000,000

The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (NRC) was created
by the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation Act (title VI of
the Housing and Community Development Amendments of 1978). The
NRC now operates under the trade name ``NeighborWorks America''
and helps local communities establish working partnerships
between residents and representatives of the public and private
sectors. These partnership-based organizations are independent,
tax-exempt, community-based nonprofit entities, often referred
to as NeighborWorks organizations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $185,000,000
for fiscal year 2022, of which $5,000,000 is for a multi-family
rental housing program.
In addition, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA)
(Public Law 117-2) included $100,000,000 for NRC.
Neighborhood revitalizations.--The Committee provides
$25,000,000 for a competitive grant program to carry out
neighborhood revitalization support activities in areas with
concentrations of abandoned or distressed properties. The
Committee directs that NRC brief the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations on its proposed competition
guidelines no later than 180 days after enactment of this Act.
Aging in place.--Due to the rising costs of long-term care
and societal changes, the Committee continues to support aging
in place programs that modify and improve older homes so that
seniors may safely live in those homes for a longer period as
they age. The Committee continues to encourage NRC to support
training, counseling, and programs that assist seniors in
sustainable aging in place and to identify the conflux of older
housing stock, older-population states, and, in particular,
older-population regions within those states and to invest
robustly in those regions with aging in place housing programs.
Surface Transportation Board
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021....................... $37,500,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022...................... 39,152,000

Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021................... +1,652,000

The Surface Transportation Board (STB) was created by the
ICC Termination Act of 1995 (P.L. 104-88) and is the successor
agency to the Interstate Commerce Commission. The STB is an
economic regulatory and adjudicatory body charged by Congress
with resolving railroad rate and service disputes and reviewing
proposed railroad mergers, and the regulation of other surface
transportation carriers, including the intercity bus industry
and surface pipeline carriers, and household-good carriers. The
Surface Transportation Board Reauthorization Act of 2015 (P.L.
114-110) established the STB as a wholly independent agency.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation provides an appropriation of
$39,152,000 for the STB. The STB is estimated to collect
$1,250,000 in fees, which will offset the appropriation for a
total program cost of $37,902,000.
Cost-benefit analysis.--In March 2019, a petition was filed
with the STB to institute a rulemaking to adopt procedural
rules that would require a cost-benefit analysis in certain
future STB rulemaking proceedings. In response, the STB
reviewed the practices at other agencies, including independent
agencies that, like the STB, are not statutorily required to
have cost-benefit analysis procedural rules. In November 2019,
the STB issued a solicitation of information to request
comments from stakeholders on whether and how particular cost-
benefit analysis approaches might be more formally integrated
into the STB's rulemaking process. The Committee continues to
encourage the STB to thoroughly review and consider all
comments received in response to the solicitation of
information to determine the extent to which cost-benefit
analysis would be helpful in ensuring that the economic
consequences of certain significant rulemakings are fully
evaluated and that the basis for any decisions are clear to
stakeholders. If the STB decides to adopt a cost-benefit
analysis procedure for significant rulemakings, then the
Committee encourages the STB to request additional resources,
as necessary, to ensure the STB has the staffing and expertise
to undertake such cost-benefit analyses.
On-time performance.--A significant obstacle to
establishing new passenger rail service or adding frequencies
is the ability to obtain reliable access to host railroad
tracks. The Committee recognizes the challenges host railroads
face in balancing the demands of passenger and freight trains,
which can impact on-time performance. These challenges are
regularly reflected in Amtrak's existing service. In fiscal
year 2020, Amtrak reports that its long-distance trains were on
time at stations 59.2 percent of the time, while its state-
supported trains were on time 84.5 percent of the time.
Congress sought to address on-time performance through the
Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA) of 2008
(P.L. 110-432). The Committee is pleased that following several
years of litigation in Federal court regarding PRIIA, FRA and
Amtrak jointly developed proposed metrics and minimum standards
for measuring the performance and service quality of intercity
passenger train operations as required by section 207 of PRIIA,
consulted with impacted stakeholders, and led to FRA issuing a
final rule on November 16, 2020. The final rule establishes a
customer on-time performance minimum standard of 80 percent for
any two consecutive calendar quarters, establishes a certified
schedule metric that addresses alignment with the customer on-
time performance metric and standard, provides time for Amtrak
and host railroads to negotiate schedules, and includes a
dispute resolution process if the parties disagree on
schedules.
The Committee understands that the customer on-time
performance minimum standard is in effect for certified and
uncertified schedules as of July 2021 and will go into effect
for disputed schedules in October 2021, which means the first
opportunity for a party to initiate an on-time performance
investigation before the STB would be in January 2022 and April
2022 for disputed schedules. While the STB could play a
critical role in the implementation of the customer on-time
performance minimum standard in fiscal year 2022, the Committee
understands it is difficult to predict in advance the amount of
resources and staff the STB may need as the customer on-time
performance minimum standard goes into effect. The Committee
appreciates the STB forming a passenger rail working group to
assist with evaluating the current and future needs of the STB
to fulfill its oversight and investigatory responsibilities for
the customer on-time performance minimum standard. The
Committee directs the STB to brief the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations on the status of its preparation
for such oversight and investigatory responsibilities no later
than 60 days after enactment of this Act. Further, the
Committee directs the STB to report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations no later than January 31, 2023 on
the number of on-time performance matters formally brought
before the STB, the average staff resources dedicated to each
such matter, the average length of time needed to complete its
work on each such matter, the number of staff necessary to
support these activities, and estimates on any additional
resources needed to address such matters in a timely manner.

The mission of the United States Interagency Council on
Homelessness (USICH) is to coordinate multi-agency Federal
response to homelessness.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $4,000,000 for continued
operations of the United States Interagency Council on
Homelessness, to remain available until September 30, 2022.
Schools and housing opportunities.--The Committee is
concerned that students lacking adequate housing opportunities
leads to instability in schools, worsening school performance,
and the continuation of the cycle of poverty. The Committee
directs the USICH, in consultation with the Department of
Education, to provide a report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations within 180 days on the feasibility
of creating stronger partnerships between schools and housing
agencies to facilitate access to stable housing opportunities
for students.
LGBTQ youth care.--The Committee requests USICH to issue a
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
within 180 days of enactment of this Act on the steps that can
be taken to improve access to housing services for LGBTQ youth,
who make up 40 percent of the youth homeless population. The
report should also detail methods in which the Federal
government can partner with LGBTQ youth organizations to
provide the highest standard of care through using the four
core outcomes of the Federal framework to end youth
homelessness: stable housing, permanent connections, education/
employment, and social-emotional well-being. The report should
serve as a roadmap for continuum of care grantees on how to
best care for LGBTQ youth and provide access to needed mental
health services.
Vehicular homelessness community response.--The Committee
recommends that the USICH, in consultation with HUD's Office of
Special Needs Assistance Program and Office of Policy
Development and Research, report on how communities are
responding to the challenge of individuals who are experiencing
vehicular homelessness to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
