                    OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF THE BILL

    The Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and 
Related Agencies appropriations bill provides funding for a 
wide array of Federal programs, mostly in the Departments of 
Transportation [DOT] and Housing and Urban Development [HUD]. 
Programs in the DOT support road, transit, rail, pipeline, and 
aviation infrastructure development, safety oversight, and 
enforcement; the operation of the Nation's interstate highway 
system, air traffic control system, and passenger rail network; 
maritime readiness for the surge and sustainment of the U.S. 
military; and port infrastructure development. Resources for 
HUD support economic development, affordable housing 
production, and housing assistance for those most in need, 
including the elderly, disabled, and people experiencing 
homelessness. The bill also provides funding for the Federal 
Housing Administration [FHA] and the Government National 
Mortgage Association [Ginnie Mae] to continue their traditional 
roles of providing access to affordable homeownership in the 
United States.
    The bill, as reported, provides the proper balance of 
funding for transportation, housing, and community development 
programs and activities. It is consistent with the 
subcommittee's allocation for fiscal year 2025. All accounts in 
the bill have been closely examined to ensure that a sufficient 
level of funding is provided to carry out the programs and 
activities of the DOT, HUD, and related agencies. Details on 
each of the accounts and the Committee's justifications for the 
funding levels are included in this report.
    For the DOT, the Committee recommendation includes key 
investments in aviation and rail safety programs. Resources are 
targeted in aviation to support the air traffic controller 
hiring surge to meet the demands of air carrier operations, as 
well as the aviation safety workforce to oversee the 
manufacturing sector to address the findings and 
recommendations of the Section 103 Organization Designation 
Authorizations [ODA] for Transport Airplanes Expert Panel 
Review Report and the ongoing implementation of the Aircraft 
Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act [ACSAA]. Rail 
safety investments and directives are included for emergency 
response training, placard sustainability, the inspector 
workforce, as well as research into wayside detection 
technology utilization, deployment, and operational response to 
address the National Transportation Safety Board's [NTSB's] 
recommendations from their final report on the East Palestine, 
Ohio incident, Norfolk Southern Railway Derailment and 
Hazardous Materials Release on East Palestine, Ohio 
[RRD23M005]. Any statutory changes recommended by the NTSB will 
need to be addressed by the authorizing committees of 
jurisdiction. The Committee looks forward to future action on 
these important improvements to railway safety.
    For HUD, the national lack of a sufficient housing supply 
is impacting communities across the country, squeezing rental 
markets, particularly for low-income families, and constraining 
homeownership opportunities. While many of the solutions to 
these housing challenges are State and locally driven, the 
Committee recommendation supports Federal efforts to bolster 
affordable housing development through the community 
development block grant [CDBG] program, the HOME investment 
partnerships program [HOME], and the pathways to removing 
obstacles to housing [PRO] program. Funds are provided to fully 
preserve the current assisted housing portfolio and increase 
the supply of senior housing and permanent supportive housing 
for people experiencing homelessness. As seniors are the 
largest growing demographic of persons experiencing 
homelessness, continuums of care [CoC] are struggling to meet 
their unique needs. Stronger partnerships between our 
healthcare and housing systems are essential and the bill 
provides additional resources to this end to better address the 
high needs of this especially vulnerable population.

                     PROGRAM, PROJECT, AND ACTIVITY

    During fiscal year 2025, 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), accompanying 
reports or explanatory statements 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.

                        REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

    The Committee includes provisions in section 405 
establishing the authority by which funding available to the 
agencies in this act or division J of Public Law 117-58 may be 
reprogrammed for other purposes. These provisions specifically 
require the advanced 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;
  --proposes to redirect funds that were directed in such 
        reports or explanatory statements 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 
        report accompanying this act, whichever is more 
        detailed. This direction applies to both the bill and 
        accompanying reports or explanatory statements.
    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 should provide a table for each appropriation with 
columns displaying the prior year enacted level; budget 
request; adjustments made by Congress; adjustments for 
rescissions, if appropriate; and the fiscal year enacted level. 
The table shall delineate the appropriation and prior year 
enacted level both by object class and by PPA, as detailed in 
this act, accompanying reports, and explanatory statements of 
the House and Senate Committee on Appropriations, or in the 
budget appendix for the respective appropriations, whichever is 
more detailed, and shall apply to all items for which a dollar 
amount is specified and to all programs for which new budget 
(obligational) authority is provided, as well as to 
discretionary grants and discretionary grant allocations. The 
report must also identify items of special congressional 
interest.
    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 the proposed changes will have on the budget 
request for the following fiscal year. Except in emergency 
situations, reprogramming requests should be submitted no later 
than June 30.
    The Committee expects each agency to manage its programs 
and activities within the amounts appropriated by 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. 
Further, the Committee notes that when a Department or agency 
submits a reprogramming or transfer request to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations and does not receive 
identical responses from the House and Senate, it is the 
responsibility of the Department to reconcile the House and 
Senate differences before proceeding, and if reconciliation is 
not possible, to consider the request to reprogram funds not 
approved.
    The Committee would also like to clarify that these 
sections apply to the working capital funds [WCF] for the DOT 
and HUD, and that no funds may be obligated from such funds 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]. The Committee expects all of the budget justifications 
to provide the data needed to make appropriate and meaningful 
funding decisions. This should include the customary level of 
detailed data and explanatory statements to support the 
appropriations requests at the level of detail contained in any 
funding table. 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, and 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 2026 to the fiscal year 2025 
enacted level.
    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 
2026 budget request.
    The Committee also reminds all agencies funded in this act 
to provide accurate organizational charts in the budget 
justifications. The Committee considers any changes to the 
organization charts to be a reprogramming requiring approval of 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations under section 
405 of this act.
    With the significant, historical investments of the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act [IIJA] and the Inflation 
Reduction Act [IRA] in addition to annual appropriations 
funding, the Committee requires a clear and accurate 
presentation of annual available and requested budgetary 
resources for each fiscal year in the congressional budget 
justifications that accompany the President's budget request. 
Each agency funded under this act shall present all available 
budgetary resources from contract authority, mandatory budget 
authority, advanced appropriations, and discretionary budget 
authority in its congressional justification. Each agency shall 
also delineate the funding for salaries and expenses [S&E] and 
number of full-time equivalent [FTE] and full-time positions 
[FTP] separate and distinct from the programmatic funding, 
including in the detailed tables in the congressional budget 
justification. This shall include all S&E funding and FTE/FTP 
provided by administrative takedowns from any and all budgetary 
resources. Advance appropriations from division J of the IIJA 
includes takedowns for administrative expenses, and amounts 
that are made available for programmatic activities should not 
be used to exceed the administrative limitation specified in 
division J of the IIJA. FTEs funded by division J are expected 
to be managed as a separate and distinct resource and shall not 
be included or represented as an adjustment to base in the 
annual discretionary budget request for S&E.

                        TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENT

    The Committee remains interested in increasing transparency 
and accountability of Federal grant spending. The Departments 
of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education are directed 
by the Stevens Amendment, section 505 of title V, division H of 
Public Law 115-141, to require grantees to include the total 
cost of the project, the percentage of Federal funds in the 
project or program, and identify all of the sources of funding 
for the total project or program in all public documents 
announcing the grant award. The Committee directs agencies to 
collect data on what information Federal grant recipients 
currently include in the public documents announcing the grant 
award to determine whether recipients of funding in this act 
could comply with the Stevens Amendment without unreasonable 
burden. The Committee expresses appreciation for the Department 
that has submitted the report and again reminds the remaining 
Department to provide the report required in fiscal year 2020 
on the feasibility of complying with the Stevens Amendment.

               FEDERAL TRUST AND TREATY RESPONSIBILITIES

    The Committee reminds agencies funded by this act of their 
obligation to uphold the Federal trust and treaty 
responsibilities to Tribes and Federal obligations to the 
Native Hawaiian community. This includes upholding treaty and 
reserved rights, and any other rights and obligations under 
Federal law; supporting self-determination efforts by Native 
communities; fulfilling obligations under Presidential 
Memoranda and Executive Orders; and conducting early and robust 
government-to-government consultation with Tribes, and 
meaningful outreach and engagement with Native Hawaiians.

                         REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

    The Committee directs the DOT and HUD to provide the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations with quarterly written 
notifications on the status of pending reports required by this 
and prior appropriations acts. The agencies are reminded that 
these reports are important to the Committee's ability to carry 
out its oversight responsibilities, and each agency is expected 
to comply with specified deadlines.

                            AUDIT STANDARDS

    The Committee is concerned about Federal agencies executing 
contracts with certain independent financial auditing and audit 
remediation firms that have been penalized for poor auditing 
practices. The Committee believes that all firms contracting 
with departments and agencies funded in this act, particularly 
for financial auditing and accounting services, should have 
qualified professionals and ethics, and integrity controls in 
place to ensure they are in compliance with Federal accounting 
and procurement standards. For all contract actions (including 
awards, renewals, and amendments), departments and agencies 
funded in this act shall require any accounting firm providing 
financial auditing or audit remediation services to provide a 
statement setting forth the details of any disciplinary 
proceedings occurring within 1 year of the projected 
performance period related to noncompliance with rules or laws 
applying to audit services.

                       FEDERALLY FUNDED RESEARCH

    The Committee urges the DOT and HUD to affirmatively 
determine and make available on a publicly accessible website a 
justification that federally funded research grants or 
agreements promote the progress of science in the United States 
or will advance a national security or economic interest.

                           HUMAN TRAFFICKING

    Globally, an estimated 25 million people are subjected to 
human trafficking and forced labor. Nearly 80 percent of 
international human trafficking journeys cross though official 
border control points such as airports and land borders. 
Educating and empowering travelers and transportation employees 
of the indicators of this abuse of human rights is a valuable 
prevention mechanism that can enhance community-coordinated 
responses and support informed interventions. The Committee 
supports the DOT's ``Combating Human Trafficking in the 
Transportation Sector Awareness Training'' and directs the 
Department to encourage relevant stakeholders, including 
airports, transit hubs, and recipients of financial assistance 
from the Department, to implement comprehensive policies to 
combat human trafficking and support survivors based on 
guidance and recommendations from the DOT Advisory Committee on 
Human Trafficking. The Committee recommendation provides 
$10,000,000 within the Office of the Secretary to implement the 
newly authorized airport human trafficking prevention grants 
program (section 774A of title VII of the Federal Aviation 
Administration [FAA] Reauthorization Act of 2024). These 
important resources will help airports nationwide raise 
awareness and help get victims away from their traffickers 
safely.

                  AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM ALIGNMENT

    The Committee remains steadfast in its commitment to 
reducing duplicative inspections addressing the statutory, 
regulatory, and procedural barriers that add time and cost to 
affordable housing projects that are developed with multiple 
Federal funding sources. The Committee commends HUD for issuing 
several rules over the past year to improve alignment across 
Federal affordable housing programs and reduce administrative 
burdens on grantees. The actions taken by HUD to update the 
CDBG and HOME programs regulations, as well as to implement the 
Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 [HOTMA] 
will streamline and simplify coordination. However, the 
Committee notes continued challenges within HUD to align and 
streamline efforts across other Federal agencies. The Committee 
directs HUD, in coordination with the Internal Revenue Service 
[IRS], to take steps, within existing authorities, to 
streamline and better coordinate Federal affordable housing 
development incentives and programs with the goals of 
simplifying the work necessary for developers to build the 
capital stack for affordable housing and redevelopment projects 
and minimizing the need for duplicative inspections. The 
Committee directs HUD, in coordination with the IRS, to report 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later 
than 180 days after enactment of this act on policy 
recommendations to address statutory barriers and to identify 
additional authorities necessary to further this goal.

                      TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

    Increasing housing supply is essential to easing rent 
burdens and creating homeownership opportunities. Maximizing a 
community's access to DOT financing for transit-oriented 
development has the potential to make affordable and mixed 
income housing projects co-located near rail and transit 
infrastructure possible due to the programs favorable lending 
rates compared to the private market. Such projects can bolster 
ridership and capitalize on under-utilized property to more 
efficiently connect the workforce to job centers. These 
projects deliver the added benefits of reduced traffic 
congestion, less pollution, and time and cost savings from 
shorter commutes. The Committee supports the efforts of the 
Departments under this act to leverage HUD expertise in housing 
development financing to streamline the application process for 
loans under the DOT's transportation infrastructure finance and 
innovation [TIFIA] credit program and the railroad 
rehabilitation and improvement financing credit [RRIF] program. 
To that end, the DOT and HUD shall establish a task force to 
examine ways to leverage existing underwriting procedures and 
proformas that are familiar to housing developers for use in 
the TIFIA and RRIF application processes, to explore 
opportunities to layer Federal financing to meet the investment 
grade rating requirement of TIFIA, to address timing challenges 
for projects with multiple financing sources, and to minimize 
the need for duplicative credit reviews. The Committee directs 
the task force to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on its priority objectives, assessment of 
administrative and statutory barriers, and planned action items 
and milestones within 120 days of enactment of this act.

                  FOREIGN MALIGN INFLUENCE MITIGATION

    For more than a decade, adversaries of the United States--
primarily Russia, China, and Iran--have utilized foreign malign 
influence [FMI] to conduct influence operations against the 
Nation to create divisiveness and fracture communities. Per the 
Department of Homeland Security [DHS], FMI refers to the 
deliberate and covert actions, such as disinformation campaigns 
and propaganda, used by foreign governments, organizations, or 
individuals to manipulate, disrupt, or undermine that 
political, social, or economic stability of another country. 
FMI aims to create their own narrative to shape public opinion, 
destabilize democratic processes, sow discord, and advance the 
interests of the foreign actor. These influence operations 
generally target politically charged issues, but the Committee 
is concerned that our adversaries are exploiting U.S. 
transportation incidents, infrastructure, and companies in an 
effort to instill a fear of travel and to undermine the economy 
with an adversarial narrative. To gain a better understanding, 
scope and impact of these nefarious efforts, the Committee 
directs the DOT to coordinate efforts with the Office of the 
Director of National Intelligence [ODNI] Foreign Malign 
Influence Center and the National Center for Narrative 
Intelligence [NCNI] to produce a public report on state backed 
influence operations on U.S. transportation infrastructure and 
transportation companies.

                                TITLE I

                      DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

                        Office of the Secretary

    Section 3 of the Department of Transportation Act of 
October 15, 1966 (Public Law 89-670), provides for the 
establishment of the Office of the Secretary of Transportation 
[OST]. OST is comprised of the Secretary and the Deputy 
Secretary immediate and support offices; the Office of the 
General Counsel; the Office of the Under Secretary of 
Transportation for Policy, including the offices of the 
Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs, the 
Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy, and the 
Assistant Secretary for Multimodal Freight Infrastructure and 
Policy; five Assistant Secretarial offices for Budget and 
Programs, Governmental Affairs, Research and Technology, and 
Administration; and the Offices of Public Affairs and Public 
Engagement, the Executive Secretariat, Intelligence, Security 
and Emergency Response, the Chief Information Officer, and 
Tribal Government Affairs. OST also includes the Department's 
Office of Civil Rights and the Department's working capital 
fund.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $191,295,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     209,916,000
Committee recommendation................................     209,676,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This appropriation finances the costs of policy development 
and central supervisory and coordinating functions necessary 
for the overall planning and direction of the Department. It 
covers the immediate secretarial offices as well as those of 
the assistant secretaries and the general counsel.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total of $209,676,000 for the 
salaries and expenses of OST, including $70,000 for reception 
and representation expenses. The recommendation is $240,000 
less than the budget request and $18,381,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2024 enacted level.
    The accompanying bill authorizes the Secretary to transfer 
up to seven percent of the funds from any office within the 
Office of the Secretary to another. The Committee 
recommendation also continues language that permits up to 
$2,500,000 of fees to be credited to the Office of the 
Secretary for salaries and expenses. The Committee 
recommendation supports the realignment of individual office 
WCF expenses being streamlined into one shared services 
account, as well as the realignment of information technology 
development, modernization, and enhancement [IT DME] efforts.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation in comparison to the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
level and the budget request:

    World Cup, Olympic, and Paralympic Events.--The Committee 
recognizes that the mobility needs of competitors, supporting 
staff, and spectators place high demands on the transportation 
and infrastructure systems in U.S. cities hosting the 2026 
World Cup and 2028 Olympic and Paralympic events. These include 
providing safe and reliable event-specific mass transportation 
operations across aviation, road, rail, and transit systems for 
attendees, residents, and visitors to the United States. The 
Committee directs the Department to expedite technical 
assistance and to exercise flexibilities in providing Federal 
resources, funding, approvals, and waivers in a timely manner 
to the host cities, states, local governments, regional or 
metropolitan agencies, transit agencies, airport and public 
authorities, and associated entities to enable adequate 
preparation.
    The Secretary of Homeland Security's designation of the 
2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games as a national special 
security event commits all Federal agencies to provide full 
cooperation and support to ensure the safety of all 
participants. Because significant resources will need to be 
dedicated to the planning, design, and implementation of 
transit infrastructure over the next 4 years, the Secretary 
shall report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the full scope of the DOT's obligations 
including the nature of its coordination with other Federal 
agencies and departments, as well as representatives of the 
relevant state and local transportation entities involved in 
the 2028 Games. The report shall also include the host 
locations projected resource needs for fiscal year 2026 through 
fiscal year 2029, including specific account details for each 
fiscal year.

                   IMMEDIATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Secretary of Transportation provides leadership and has 
the primary responsibility to provide overall planning, 
direction, and control of the Department.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $3,822,000 for fiscal year 2025 
for the Immediate Office of the Secretary. The recommendation 
is $52,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and 
equal to the budget request. The Committee directs the 
Department to abide by both the will and intent of Congress in 
all funding and policy decisions, and to consult with the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to issuing all 
notices of funding opportunities [NOFOs].

                IMMEDIATE OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY SECRETARY

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Deputy Secretary has the primary responsibility of 
assisting the Secretary in the overall planning and direction 
of the Department.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $1,371,000 for the Immediate 
Office of the Deputy Secretary, which is $1,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2024 enacted level and equal to the budget request.

                     OFFICE OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of the General Counsel provides legal services 
to the Office of the Secretary, including the conduct of 
aviation regulatory proceedings, and coordinates and reviews 
the legal work in the chief counsels' offices of the operating 
administrations. The General Counsel is the chief legal officer 
of the Department and the final authority on all legal 
questions.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $20,367,000 for expenses of the 
Office of the General Counsel for fiscal year 2025. The 
recommended funding level is $11,905,000 less than the fiscal 
year 2024 enacted level and $10,835,000 less than the budget 
request. The Committee recommendation realigns 42 FTE to the 
newly authorized Office of Aviation Consumer Protection within 
the Office for the Under Secretary for Policy, in addition to 
$2,163,260 in contract support. The funding recommendation 
supports adjustments to base for the remaining 98 FTE's in this 
office.

                OFFICE OF THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR POLICY

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Under Secretary for Policy is the chief policy officer 
of the Department and is responsible for the analysis, 
development, and review of policies and plans for domestic and 
international transportation matters. The office administers 
the economic regulatory functions regarding the airline 
industry and is responsible for international aviation 
programs, aviation consumer activities, the essential air 
service program, airline fitness licensing, acquisitions, 
international route awards, computerized reservation systems, 
and special investigations, such as those involving airline 
delays. Within this office, the IIJA also created an Office of 
Multimodal Freight Infrastructure and Policy [MFIP] to oversee 
certain multimodal freight grant programs, carry out the 
national multimodal freight policy, and facilitate the movement 
of freight across and within different modes of transportation.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $35,544,000 for the Office of the 
Under Secretary for Policy, of which 2,427,000 is for the MFIP; 
$5,300,000 is for the freight logistics optimization works 
[FLOW] program; and $11,435,000 is for the newly authorized 
Office of Aviation Consumer Protection [OCAP].
    The recommended funding level is $15,480,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2024 enacted level and $11,435,000 more than the 
budget request. The Committee recommendation supports 
adjustments to base to sustain 78 FTE for the Office of the 
Under Secretary for Policy and eight FTE for the MFIP, equal to 
the budget request.
    Office of Aviation Consumer Protection.--Section 501 of the 
FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 (Public Law 118-63) established 
a new Assistant Secretary for Aviation Consumer Protection 
position and OACP within the Department. The Committee 
recommendation realigns $8,631,655 in S&E for 42 FTEs and 
$2,163,260 in contract support from the employees that 
supported this function in Office of the General Counsel to the 
OACP. In order to support the creation of the new Assistant 
Secretary position, the Committee recommendation provides an 
additional $640,085 for three new FTE and associated costs 
within the OACP. This new Office is designed to increase the 
Department's ability to monitor compliance and conduct 
investigations into air carrier violations of consumer 
protections and civil rights, as well as assist, educate, and 
protect passenger consumer rights.
    Due to the impact of COVID-19 on air travel, the number of 
air travel service complaints surged to an unprecedented level 
of 102,561 in 2020 versus 15,332 in 2019--an increase of 569 
percent. Since that time, complaints have de-escalated, but 
remain unacceptably high at a rate of 77,656 in 2022 and 88,136 
in 2023. The Department's final rule on refunds and other 
consumer protections as mandated by Congress will require 
automatic refunds for canceled or significantly delayed 
flights, checked baggage fees for significantly delayed 
baggage, and for ancillary fees that were paid and for which 
the service was not provided. Further actions will need to be 
taken by this newly created office to implement the FAA 
Authorization Act of 2024, which includes issuing mandates for 
fee-free family seating as directed in section 516, setting 
minimum standards for airline credits, and establishing 
reimbursement policies for incurred costs due to air carrier 
contributed cancellations or delays. The Committee directs the 
Department to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the status of these congressional mandates 
and to provide an annual summary of air travel consumer 
complaints from the preceding year accounting for flight 
delays; mishandled baggage, wheelchairs, and scooters; over 
sales; consumer complaints; airlines reports of the loss, 
injury, or death of animals during transportation; and customer 
reports to the Transportation Security Administration.
    Competitive Grant Programs.--The Committee strongly 
believes in the importance of Federal competitive grant 
programs that allow transportation agencies to build 
infrastructure above Federal formula programs limitations. 
Since the inception of the national infrastructure investment 
grant program in 2009, now known as RAISE, competitive grants 
made available by this Committee in the annual appropriations 
bill and in the IIJA have led to tremendous multi-modal 
benefits for every State. While reaching a grant agreement 
between the Department and a grant recipient can be a time-
consuming and burdensome process, such an agreement is critical 
to ensure grantees meet all Federal requirements and make 
prudent use of taxpayer funding. The Committee supports the 
Department's project initiation accelerator initiative, which 
is intended to help at-risk grantees. The Committee expects the 
Department to prioritize staffing increases in the relevant 
division or field offices that can help improve the timeliness 
of reaching grant agreements. In order to bring greater 
transparency to this process, the Committee directs the 
Department to provide quarterly data on all competitive grant 
programs for which funding is appropriated to OST, Federal 
Highway Administration [FHWA], Federal Transit Administration 
[FTA], Federal Railroad Administration [FRA] and Maritime 
Administration [MARAD] that was awarded from funds made 
available for obligation prior to fiscal year 2023, but remain 
unobligated. The data shall consist of a list of all such 
competitive awards by program, by fiscal year, and by grantee.
    Coordination with DHS to Improve Staffing Model 
Forecasting.--The Committee is pleased with the progress the 
FLOW program has made in improving the transparency of the 
supply chain. The Committee directs the Department to 
coordinate with the DHS Supply Chain Resiliency Center [SCRC] 
to improve forecasting and scenario planning for various supply 
chain disruptions, including staffing at U.S. ports.
    Cargo Theft Prevention.--The Committee recognizes the 
substantial increase in cargo theft that has affected the 
transportation supply chain over the last few years. The 
Committee directs the Department to coordinate with the Federal 
Bureau of Investigations [FBI], the Department of Justice, the 
DHS SCRC, and relevant stakeholders, including professional 
policing organizations, to provide a report on cargo theft 
trends in the transportation supply chain, along with a 
strategy to combat cargo theft, to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of 
this act.
    Department Policies.--The Department's current statement of 
international air transportation policy was last updated in 
1995 and is now over 29 years old. The Committee once again 
directs the Department to brief the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations on the status of this policy document within 
120 days of enactment of this act.
    Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything Safety Technology.--The 
Committee commends the Department's commitment to reducing 
deaths and serious injuries on our Nation's roadways. As stated 
in the Department's October 2023 draft report Saving Lives with 
Connectivity: A Plan to Accelerate V2X Deployment, a ``powerful 
tool for achieving this ambitious, long-term goal is vehicle-
to-everything [V2X] technology, which enables vehicles to 
communicate with each other, with other road users such as 
pedestrians and cyclists, and with roadside infrastructure.'' 
Therefore, the Committee expects the Department to find ways to 
incentivize and accelerate the deployment of cellular vehicle-
to-everything [C-V2X] technologies through coordinated actions 
across modal agencies, including potential incorporation into 
the NHTSA's new car assessment program [NCAP] and through 
program guidance, NOFOs for discretionary grant programs, and 
national roadway safety strategy implementation.
    Communications Services for Limited English Proficient 
Communities.--The Committee is supportive of efforts the 
Department is taking to improve multi-lingual communications, 
which should include mediums such as television and radio, to 
reach limited English proficient [LEP] communities. However, to 
improve implementation, the Committee encourages the DOT to 
review its communication practices and create uniform 
applications across all modes, as appropriate, in order to 
strengthen communication including through digital, television 
and radio advertising. The Committee further directs agencies 
at the DOT that engage in educational outreach campaigns report 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on their 
annual advertising budgets within 90 days of enactment of this 
act.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $57,375,000 
for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and 
Technology. This amount is $8,335,000 more than the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level and $4,555,000 less than the budget request. 
This funding level assumes a total of $22,000,000 in 
programmatic spending, of which $3,000,000 is for the highly 
automated systems safety [HASS] center of excellence [COE]; 
$5,000,000 is to support the research, data, and analysis 
necessary to accelerate and integrate needed technology for a 
faster transition to a cleaner, safe, efficient and resilient

navigation and timing [PNT] technologies and global positioning 
system [GPS] back up; and $11,000,000 is for the advanced 
research projects agency--infrastructure [ARPA-I] initiative. 
The Committee appreciates the Department's attempt to improve 
the representation of administrative costs for the office. The 
transparency of staffing levels across activities shall be 
sustained in future budget justifications.
    PNT Technologies and GPS Backup.--The Committee 
recommendation provides $3,000,000 to support this initiative 
established by Congress in 2022 that allows for the wide 
adoption of multiple technologies that provide the necessary 
GPS backup and complementary PNT technologies as identified in

that the Department has issued contracts to nine complimentary 
PNT technology vendors through the Volpe Center that will allow 
for instrumentation, testing, and evaluation of these 
technologies at field test ranges in conjunction with critical 
infrastructure owners and operators. The Department is directed 
to use the funds provided in this and prior year appropriations 
to support the phase II solicitation in order to expand the set 
of technologies to be evaluated. The Committee also encourages 
the Department to use enhanced contracting authority, such as: 
cooperative agreements, cooperative research, and development 
agreements, or small business innovation research [SBIR] to 
deploy such services rapidly.
    ARPA-I.--The recommendation includes $11,000,000 to support 
ARPA-I as authorized under 49 U.S.C. 119, and the open research 
initiative as authorized under 49 U.S.C. 5506. The funding will 
advance and deploy technology products that have the potential 
to transform transportation systems and the way they are used. 
The Committee supports the Administration's proposed emphasis 
on the safety program aimed at developing new, novel, and 
innovative safety solutions to address the over 43,000 roadway 
fatalities in the U.S. annually.
    Ferry Decarbonization Data.--The Committee directs the 
Department to collect additional data in conjunction with the 
national census of ferry operators [NCFO] to better understand 
the condition of the existing domestic ferry fleet, including 
the baseline emissions such as the EPA Tier (0-4), engine model 
year, segment layover duration, and existing electric utility 
infrastructure at terminal. Additionally, the Department shall 
obtain information on whether the respondent has specified 
published emissions reductions goals, what those specific 
emissions reductions goals are, and whether each organization 
maintains a long-range fleet capitalization plan. Responses to 
the NCFO shall be mandatory.
    Infrastructure Durability.--With historic infrastructure 
funding available, the Committee recognizes the importance of 
ensuring long-lasting transportation improvements that are 
capable of withstanding extreme events, natural disasters, and 
other potential impacts to ensure durability, efficiency, and 
cost effectiveness. The DOT has published research showing the 
advances in the science of concrete materials and specifically 
the enhanced durability benefits and exceptional performance of 
ultra-high-performance concrete [UHPC]. The Committee directs 
the Department to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the use of UHPC in Federal infrastructure 
projects and how the use of such materials are expected to 
improve the overall lifespan of these federally-funded 
infrastructure projects.

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

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This program provides grants and credit assistance to State 
and local governments, transit agencies, or a collaboration of 
such entities for capital investments in surface transportation 
infrastructure that will have a significant impact on the 
Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region. Eligible projects 
include highways and bridges, public transportation, freight 
and passenger rail, and port infrastructure. The Department 
awards grants on a competitive basis; however, the Department 
must ensure an equitable geographic distribution of funds and 
an appropriate balance in addressing the needs of urban and 
rural communities and within the timeframes outlined in the 
bill.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $550,000,000 for 
grants and credit assistance as authorized under 49 U.S.C. 
6701, which is $205,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 
enacted level and $250,000,000 less than the budget request.
    The national infrastructure investments program, now known 
as the RAISE program, has become integral to improving safety 
and mobility in communities throughout the country for more 
than a decade. The outcome-oriented selection criteria that 
includes state of good repair, economic competitiveness, 
quality of life, environmental sustainability, safety, 
innovation, and partnership nurtures stronger applications and 
results in successful multimodal projects. Given the importance 
of infrastructure reuse projects for transportation, economic 
development, emissions reduction, and recreation, the Committee 
encourages the Department to consider supporting infrastructure 
reuse projects.
    Geographic Distribution.--The Committee continues to 
believe that our Federal infrastructure programs must benefit 
communities across the country. The Committee continues to 
require the Secretary to award grants and credit assistance in 
a manner that ensures an equitable geographic distribution of 
funds and an appropriate balance in addressing the needs of 
urban and rural communities.
    Sustainable Materials.--The Committee notes the ongoing 
advancements in sustainable infrastructure practices, 
equipment, and building materials and encourages the Department 
to support infrastructure projects that incorporate these 
advancements, utilize these capabilities and products, and 
strive to achieve measurable carbon reductions by 2030.
    Mega Grants.--The Committee recognizes that inland ports 
are an important element in the international supply chain, 
increasing intermodal capacity and efficiencies in the movement 
of global commerce from ships to major transportation networks 
for distribution. Benefits include reduced congestion at marine 
terminals and on the Nation's highways, lower costs of moving 
cargo, environmental and safety benefits, economic development 
in underserved or rural areas, as well as consolidation of 
import/export centers. Within the advance appropriations for 
this program, the Committee encourages the Secretary to 
consider mega grant applications that include the development 
of coastal and inland ports that provide supply chain 
improvements and reduce supply chain disruption.

                    Federal Aviation Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal Aviation Administration is responsible for the 
safe movement of civil aviation and the evolution of a national 
system of airports. The Federal Government's regulatory role in 
civil aviation began with the creation of an Aeronautics Branch 
within the Department of Commerce pursuant to the Air Commerce 
Act of 1926 (Public Law 69-254). This act instructed the agency 
to foster air commerce; designate and establish airways; 
establish, operate, and maintain aids to navigation; arrange 
for research and development to improve such aids; issue 
airworthiness certificates for aircraft and major aircraft 
components; and investigate civil aviation accidents. In the 
Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 (Public Law 75-706), these 
activities were transferred to a new, independent agency named 
the Civil Aeronautics Authority. Congress streamlined 
regulatory oversight in 1957 with the creation of two separate 
agencies, the Federal Aviation Agency and the Civil Aeronautics 
Board. When the DOT began its operations in 1967, the Federal 
Aviation Agency was renamed the FAA and became one of several 
modal administrations within DOT. The Civil Aeronautics Board 
was later phased out with enactment of the Airline Deregulation 
Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-504), and ceased to exist in 1984. 
Responsibility for the investigation of civil aviation 
accidents was given to the National Transportation Safety Board 
in 1967. FAA's mission expanded in 1995 with the transfer of 
the Office of Commercial Space Transportation from the Office 
of the Secretary, and decreased in December 2001 with the 
transfer of civil aviation security activities to the 
Transportation Security Administration.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The total recommended funding level for the FAA for fiscal 
year 2025 amounts to $22,013,554,000, including new budget 
authority and a limitation on the obligation of contract 
authority. The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations and advance appropriations provided by the IIJA

    Funding Level.--The Committee provides $13,603,399,000 for 
FAA operations, consistent with the budget request and 
$873,772,000 above the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. This 
increase consists of $736,726,000 in adjustment to base 
increases and the following discretionary adjustments:
  --$42,992,000 for the controller hiring and training surge, 
        with a goal of hiring 2,000 new controllers in fiscal 
        year 2025;
  --$25,912,000 for aviation safety efforts which includes 
        initiatives in the budget request, and $10,000,000 and 
        54 aviation safety inspectors above the budget request 
        to support improved surveillance of production and 
        manufacturing activities, as well as air carrier 
        maintenance surveillance;
  --$1,283,000 for hazardous materials safety;
  --$10,000,000 for aeronautical information management 
        modernization;
  --$13,554,000 for the office of finance management [AFN] 
        initiatives in the budget request;
  --$4,174,000 for facility maintenance and sustainment;
  --$21,049,000 for commercial space operations, of which 
        $7,018,000 is for ATO integration activities;
  --$410,000 for unmanned aircraft systems, including to 
        process applications for environmental certification;
  --$10,409,000 for data analytics within the office of 
        aviation safety [AVS];
  --$1,010,000 for staff office support, to be prioritized for 
        the office of human resource management; and
  --$6,253,000 for the pilot program for FAA transitioning 
        towers, as authorized under section 625 of the FAA 
        Reauthorization Act of 2024.

    Staffing.--The Committee supports the FAA's efforts to hire 
2,000 new air traffic controllers in fiscal year 2025. The FAA 
will achieve this goal by expanding training at the FAA Academy 
and supplementing these efforts by expanding air traffic 
controller training at certain collegiate training initiative 
[CTI] schools. The FAA should ensure that all air traffic 
control trainees are taught according to the same rigorous and 
uniform standards. The Committee expects the FAA to closely 
monitor the CTI programs and provide oversight for each 
individual school. Future controller workforce hiring plans, as 
required by the bill, should include information on the 
anticipated number of trainees at CTIs. The Committee continues 
to direct the FAA to provide quarterly staffing updates, 
including hiring and separations, by program office for all 
positions funded by this act, and to provide on a quarterly 
basis: (1) the status of hiring new controllers; (2) actual 
staffing levels, including hiring and separation levels, at all 
air traffic control [ATC] facilities; and (3) flight delays at 
each ATC facility by category.
    Organization Chart.--The Committee directs the FAA to 
include a more detailed organization chart as an exhibit to 
section one of the President's budget justification that 
provides not less than two levels of offices below the Office 
of the Administrator and Deputy Administrator for the Air 
Traffic Organization and the Office of the Assistant 
Administrator for Aviation Safety.
    Runway Incursions.--The Committee appreciates the progress 
the FAA has made to reduce runway incursion incidents through 
educational outreach, training, marking, lighting, and new 
technology, but more needs to be done. The Committee commends 
the FAA's efforts to keep the Committee informed of runway 
incursions and significant national airspace system [NAS] 
incidents and continues to direct the Chief Operating Officer 
of the FAA to provide monthly briefings to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on these efforts.
    Controller Fatigue.--The Committee supports the FAA's 
efforts to implement the 58 opportunities identified by the 
scientific expert panel on air traffic controller safety, work 
hours, and health in its ``Assessment of Fatigue Risk in FAA 
Air Traffic Operations'' report. As the FAA works to implement 
these opportunities, it should keep the Committee apprised of 
its work with the National Air Traffic Controller Association 
[NATCA] to develop a joint agreement on new rest periods and a 
joint development strategy for implementing the 2025 basic 
watch schedule. The FAA is also directed to work with the 
scientific expert panel and NATCA to determine the extent to 
which fatigue is driven by excessive overtime schedules and to 
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its 
findings. The FAA is expected to continue to develop the 
schedule optimization system for air traffic controllers that 
includes input from both AFN and NATCA which could addresses 
controller staffing and fatigue issues.
    Air Traffic Control Privatization.--The United States has 
the largest, safest, most efficient, and most complex air 
traffic control system in the world, and the FAA should remain 
a global leader with a singular and unified mission of safety. 
To that end, the Committee does not support any efforts to 
transfer the FAA's air traffic functions to a not-for-profit, 
independent, private corporation. The Committee is aware that 
if the Nation's air traffic control system had been privatized 
during the COVID-19 pandemic, similar to other air navigation 
service providers in Canada and the European Union, the United 
States would have faced severe funding shortfalls. These 
shortfalls would have likely led to controller layoffs and 
greater risks to flight safety, and a slower recovery after the 
end of the pandemic, thus leading to more flight delays and 
price increases for consumers.
    Contract Towers.--The Committee recommendation provides not 
less than $241,000,000 for the contract tower program, 
including the cost-share contract towers. The Committee directs 
the FAA to continue to operate all contract towers currently in 
the program, including the contract tower cost-share program, 
as well as to expeditiously add qualified eligible airports. 
The Committee directs the FAA to expedite the applications for 
cost-benefit ratio studies upon receipt of all applications to 
the contract tower program and to take into account all 
relevant operations activities, including military and 
commercial operations, as permissible under current law.
    The Committee recommendation also includes $6,253,000 for a 
pilot program to convert high activity air traffic control 
towers operating under the contract tower program to FAA 
staffed visual flight rules towers, as authorized under section 
625 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024. The Committee 
directs the FAA to commence this program within 180 days of 
enactment of this act and to prioritize contract towers as 
required under section 625(a)(2) of such act.
    The Committee further directs the FAA to brief the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of 
enactment of this act on the expenditures related to the 
contract tower program from the most recent fiscal year. The 
briefing shall include information on all costs attributed to 
the contract tower program, and at a minimum, provide a 
breakout for administrative costs, contract support expenses, 
insurance, equipment procured and installed in contract towers, 
new starts, and aggregate payments for operating the contract 
towers.
    Tower Marking and Logging Rule.--The safety of aerial 
applicators is increasingly compromised due to the presence of 
unmarked towers, particularly those between 50 and 200 feet 
with a small diameter, and has led to a substantial number of 
accidents and fatalities. The FAA Extension, Safety, and 
Security Act of 2016 requires the FAA to develop a rule to mark 
these towers and create a database where they must be logged to 
ensure low altitude pilots are informed of their locations, 
consistent with the NTSB Safety Alert SA-016, The Hazards of 
Unmarked Towers. The Committee directs the FAA to issue this 
proposed rule no later than July 31, 2024 as identified on the 
spring 2024 regulatory agenda.
    FAA Technical Operations Workforce.--The Committee 
reiterates its support for the FAA to develop a workforce plan 
for the technical operations service unit. The FAA shall brief 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the status 
of this workforce plan within 30 days of enactment of this act.
    Radar Approach Control.--The Committee is aware that radar 
approach control enhances aviation safety and efficiency for 
regularly scheduled commercial airline service. The FAA should 
utilize existing budget authorities, if excess funding is 
available, to provide radar to all air traffic control towers 
with significant adverse terrain and seasonal winter weather 
conditions.
    FAA Public Hearing.--The Committee notes that the proposal 
to modify the Condor 1 and Condor 2 military operating areas 
has been withdrawn. However, the Committee remains concerned 
with any potential proposals to modify these military operating 
areas and encourages the FAA to work with its partner agencies 
by holding a public hearing with representatives from the 
relevant Federal agencies in western Maine if any such proposal 
is issued. The Committee recognizes that the Air National 
Guard, as the lead agency under the National Environmental 
Policy Act [NEPA] (Public Law 91-190) process, has previously 
sought to meet the minimum legal requirements for public 
participation and comment in past proposals. Should any similar 
proposal be issued, the Committee directs the FAA to report to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to the 
issuance of a record of decision regarding any modification of 
the Condor 1 and Condor 2 military operations areas that 
includes a summary of any public meeting and hearing and a list 
of the comments, questions, and responses presented at these 
meetings and hearings.
    Special Use Airspace.--The Committee directs the FAA to 
continue its efforts to improve airspace sharing with the 
Department of Defense [DoD] for special use.
    Next Generation Radio Altimeters.--The Committee continues 
to support the FAA's ongoing work at the Mike Monroney 
Aeronautical Center, in partnership with aviation 
manufacturers, to accelerate testing, certification, and 
implementation of new radio altimeter capabilities consistent 
with the next generation avionics standards. The Committee 
directs the FAA to provide an updated report on the roadmap and 
timeline for development, testing, and certification within 180 
days from the enactment of this act.
    Unmanned Aircraft Systems [UAS] Test Sites.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $6,000,000 for providing matching funds 
to commercial entities that contract with an FAA-designated UAS 
test range to demonstrate or validate technologies that the FAA 
considers essential to the safe integration of UAS into the 
NAS. The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024 allows the FAA to 
select up to two additional locations as UAS test sites through 
a criteria-based selection process. Prior to selecting these 
two additional locations, the FAA shall brief the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations on the criteria that will 
be used to select these additional test site locations, 
including references to criteria used to select the previous 
test sites, whether those criteria will be retained, and if 
not, why they were replaced. The Committee further expects the 
FAA to ensure that any new test site selected possess a level 
of expertise and capacity to safely operate UAS equivalent to 
the existing test sites.
    Know Before You Fly.--The Committee supports FAA's ``Know 
Before You Fly'' public-private partnership to improve the 
safety of UAS operations.
    UAS Beyond Visual Line of Sight [BVLOS] Rulemaking.--The 
FAA should meet all requirements in the FAA Reauthorization Act 
of 2024 for the BVLOS rulemaking, including the required 
timeline for the proposed and final rule. The FAA should 
continue to keep UAS stakeholders informed of a realistic BVLOS 
rulemaking timeline, including the challenges associated with 
this rulemaking, and any differences between the proposed 
rulemaking and the BVLOS ARC's recommendations.
    UAS Environmental Reviews.--The expanded use of small UAS 
across the country requires the FAA to conduct environmental 
reviews, and the FAA has made progress toward broader, area-
wide environmental reviews for UAS operations. The Committee 
directs the FAA to continue to streamline area- or region-wide 
environmental reviews, and brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on its progress within 90 days of 
enactment of this act.
    Military UAS Integration.--The Committee recommendation 
includes up to $1,000,000 to support collaborative efforts with 
the Department of Defense to safely integrate military UAS into 
the NAS.
    Protecting Domestic Manufacturing From Unauthorized Drone 
Use.--The Committee is concerned about the use of drones to spy 
on and facilitate theft at automotive manufacturing plants. The 
Committee directs the FAA to report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of 
this act on any challenges associated with including major 
manufacturing plants and domestic automotive manufacturing 
sites as critical infrastructure under section 2209 of the FAA 
Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016.
    Powered Lift Special Federal Aviation Regulation.--The 
Committee commends the FAA for issuing its proposed special 
Federal aviation regulation [SFAR] entitled ``Integration of 
powered-lift: Pilot certification and operations; Miscellaneous 
Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes.'' The timely 
implementation of this regulation is key to ensuring that the 
United States remains the global leader in powered-lift 
technology. As such, the Committee directs the agency to ensure 
that the SFAR is implemented by January 2025, and that it 
shall, to the maximum extent possible, align with relevant 
International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] standards 
(ICAO Annex 1, 2.1.1.4 and ICAO Doc. 10103). The FAA is also 
working to prepare for powered lift operations in the NAS, and 
the Committee directs the FAA to brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of 
this act on the ATO's plan for incorporating powered lift 
operations into ATO operations, including the plan to address 
staffing, identifying routes that need modification, and 
implementing the changes and updated training at required 
facilities.
    UAS and Advanced Air Mobility Integration.--The Committee 
is mindful that the proliferation of UAS deployments around the 
country will require careful coordination with advanced air 
mobility [AAM] aircraft as new AAM entrants are certified and 
begin to operate in the NAS. As such, the Committee supports 
the FAA's efforts to work with public and private stakeholders 
that are actively testing and advancing the operation of UAS 
and AAM aircraft as a tool to connect small communities to 
improve the delivery of goods and services. The FAA should work 
with State partners with broad expertise in aviation 
manufacturing, research and innovation to demonstrate the 
application of these air traffic management technologies, to 
the extent such partnerships benefit the FAA's mission. The FAA 
should also engage with local communities, including those not 
represented at airport roundtables, on how AAM will integrate 
into the NAS and local communities.
    Aircraft Certification.--The Committee recommendation 
includes not less than $375,753,000 for the aircraft 
certification service [AIR]. The Alaska Airlines flight 1282 
incident on January 5, 2024, led to the FAA launching an 
investigation into Boeing's compliance with manufacturing 
requirements, which led to the FAA Administrator's finding that 
Boeing's quality system issues were ``unacceptable''. As a 
result, the FAA has increased its oversight of Boeing's 
production and manufacturing activities, limited Boeing's 
monthly production of the 737 MAX series aircraft, and required 
Boeing to develop a comprehensive action plan to address its 
systemic quality control and production issues. The resulting 
action plan includes: the use of key performance indicators to 
assess the company's system health and address emerging safety 
risks going forward; a serious effort to expand the company's 
``Speak Up'' program for employee reporting of safety and 
quality issues; strengthening the company's safety management 
system; and many other new initiatives that will require FAA 
oversight. However, these new oversight efforts were not 
included in FAA's budget request because of the timing of the 
Alaska Air incident. As such, the Committee reprioritizes funds 
within the request and provides $10,000,000 and 54 staff for 
the AIR within the AVS. The Committee expects the FAA to 
maintain its increased oversight of Boeing (including Spirit 
Aerosystems), continue to monitor implementation of the action 
plan, and brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations prior to changing the production cap of new 
Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
    The Committee also expects the FAA to implement the ACSAA 
to ensure sufficient technical expertise and workforce training 
is made available to strengthen safety oversight. The Committee 
directs the FAA to provide an update to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations by June 1, 2025, on the progress 
made on the congressionally-directed review and study of 
continuous safety improvements in the certification system, 
including advancing digital and modeling requirements for the 
certification process.
    The Committee further directs the FAA to provide a report 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later 
than June 1, 2025, on the personnel levels and funding for the 
International Validation Branch of the Compliance and 
Airworthiness Division and other offices of the Aircraft 
Certification Service compared to validation workload and 
goals. The Committee expects the FAA to outline its performance 
metrics and results for the number and types of projects, 
timeline milestones, and the validating authority level of 
involvement and trends.
    Minority Serving Institutions [MSI] Intern Program.--The 
Committee continues to support the MSI intern program, and 
provides not less than $5,000,000 to continue this initiative.
    Veterans' Pilot Training.--The Committee remains supportive 
of the pilot program to provide veterans with pilot training 
services, as authorized under section 418 of the FAA 
Reauthorization Act of 2024. This program is an important tool 
to increasing the number of commercial pilots. The Committee 
recognizes the importance of building upon existing agreements 
between the FAA and flight training schools to continue 
providing training and education to veterans to become 
commercial airline pilots, and directs that any remaining funds 
previously appropriated for the program remain available for 
use in fiscal year 2025. The Committee recommends that the FAA 
assess best practices and ways to improve pilot training to 
veterans as it implements this program.
    Office of Commercial Space Transportation [AST].--The 
Committee fully funds the budget request of $57,130,000, 
including 54 new FTP for AST. In providing this significant 
funding increase, the Committee expects the AST to meet its 
staffing goals for fiscal year 2025, as delineated in the 
budget request. The Committee is aware that some commercial 
space license applicants face delays in the review and 
processing of license requests. However, despite the 
accelerating pace of work, AST is currently evaluating license 
applications within 118 days on average, and has made license 
determination within the statutorily mandated deadlines 98 
percent of the time over its 40-year history.
    According to the FAA, the burden of proof of compliance for 
license applications rests with the applicant, and accelerating 
license approvals can only be achieved by the licensee 
community consistently submitting applications that speak 
directly to FAA's requirements, thereby avoiding unnecessary 
delay. The FAA is also currently strained due to the large 
number of license modification requests for incremental 
changes. The Committee believes the success of the commercial 
space industry requires a commitment from both the FAA and the 
industry to improve the efficiency of the licensing processes. 
The FAA should continue to address these challenges with 
industry by providing additional information and clarification 
in its pre-application consultation materials.
    Commercial Space Mishap Investigations.--The GAO's report 
GAO-24-105561 on commercial space transportation found that the 
FAA has not developed criteria for, or evaluated the 
effectiveness of, operator-led investigations of commercial 
space mishaps, despite allowing operators to conduct their own 
investigation into all 49 mishaps for which the FAA had lead 
investigative authority. The Committee directs the FAA to brief 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the status 
of implementing the GAO's recommendation to comprehensively 
evaluate the effectiveness of the office's mishap investigation 
process within 90 days of enactment of this act.
    Remote ATC Towers.--The Committee is aware of the interest 
in remote tower systems to provide a safe, cost effective 
alternative to brick and mortar towers at small and non-towered 
airports. The Committee expects the FAA to transparently inform 
stakeholders of the development and validation of defined 
safety, performance, and functional requirements, as well as a 
defined process for approval. The Committee directs the FAA to 
follow its formal advisory circular process, including notice 
and comment, and to provide a plan to finalize system design 
approval documents. The plan should be made available in a 
reasonable amount of time, without compromising safety and 
without undue pressure from industry.
    Enhanced Remote Digital Tower Certification.--The Committee 
is aware of the growing need from small and rural communities 
to improve safety and modernize the air traffic control 
capabilities of their airports in a timely manner. The 
Committee supports the FAA's work on remote digital towers as a 
potential solution to address this need. The FAA is currently 
allowing vendors to participate in a system design approval 
[SDA] process. When a vendor successfully completes the SDA 
process, non-Federal entities will be able to use the airport 
improvement program, airport infrastructure grant program, or 
airport terminal program funding to purchase the approved 
systems.
    Direct Aircraft-to-Aircraft Communications.--The Committee 
remains concerned about the potential exponential growth of 
drone operations in the NAS, which could increase the risk of 
collisions. Direct aircraft-to-aircraft communications enable 
drones to detect and avoid each other without the need for 
terrestrial or satellite connectivity and can play a critical 
role in ensuring that safety-critical communications are always 
available. Therefore, the Committee expects the FAA to consider 
and study the use of well-established wireless communications 
standards for direct aircraft-to-aircraft communications, 
including those proposed by the radio technical commission for 
aeronautics, 3rd generation partnership project, and Institute 
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, to ensure safe drone 
operations in the NAS. The Committee directs the FAA to brief 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its 
findings within 180 days of enactment of this act.
    Mobile Clearances.--The Committee supports the FAA's 
ongoing efforts to implement section 614 of the FAA 
Reauthorization Act of 2024, which requires the FAA to 
implement a pilot program for mobile clearances for general 
aviation and Part 135 air carriers at five airports or 
heliports, which do not have towered data link services to test 
and set security, safety, and operational requirements.
    Epinephrine Autoinjectors on Airplanes.--Consistent with 
section 368 in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, the FAA 
should take such action as necessary to issue a notice of 
proposed rulemaking regarding first aid and emergency medical 
kit equipment and training required for flight crewmembers. The 
FAA should take into consideration the feasibility and costs 
associated with requiring adult and child epinephrine 
autoinjectors on airplanes. As part of its work on the 
rulemaking, the FAA should take into consideration the 
feasibility of requiring passenger airlines to systematically 
report to the FAA about the type and number of incidences of 
medical emergencies in air and the use of onboard emergency 
medical kits, as well as how the FAA should maintain a database 
of this information.
    GPS Disruption Briefing.--The Committee directs the FAA to 
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 
270 days of enactment of this act on the modeled impact of GPS 
disruption, including spoofing and jamming, on air commerce. 
The briefing should include the effects of a GPS disruption at 
a large hub airport, a medium hub airport, a general aviation 
airport, and a joint-use airport.
    New York City Helicopter Noise Report.--The New York 
metropolitan area has one of the highest rates of helicopter 
use in the world, and helicopter-related noise complaints have 
gone up dramatically in the last 5 years. Not later than 180 
days after the date of enactment of this act, the GAO shall 
initiate a study regarding the impact of helicopter operations 
over New York City including, but not limited to: (1) the 
impact of helicopter noise on human health, businesses, and 
non-profit organizations; (2) common flight paths; (3) trends 
in helicopter usage; (4) types of helicopter operations 
occurring over New York City; and (5) efforts by the State of 
New York and local government authorities to mitigate the 
impact of helicopter noise.
    Aircraft Maintenance.--The Office of Inspector General is 
undertaking a systematic review of air carrier maintenance 
programs and has issued several audits on aircraft fleet 
maintenance. Many of the recommendations for these prior audits 
remain open, including recommendations on root cause analysis 
training for inspectors and on ensuring that inspectors 
maintain a link between compliance action and corrective action 
validation. The FAA should expeditiously implement the open 
recommendations from audits AV2022004, AV2020013, and 
AV2020019. The Office of Inspector General is currently 
undertaking an audit of the FAA's oversight of United Airlines. 
Further, the FAA is assessing United's compliance with safety 
regulations, hazard identification, and risk mitigation. As 
with past reviews, the Committee directs the FAA and the Office 
of Inspector General to brief on the results of these audits as 
soon they are completed in order to inform the Committee on the 
FAA's improved ability to track, monitor, and enforce effective 
safety requirements.
    Flight Diversions.--The Committee directs the Secretary to 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on: 
(1) the number of flight diversions by regularly scheduled 
passenger airlines in the most recent year for which the FAA 
has such data compared to the previous three calendar years; 
(2) the location to which such flights were diverted; (3) the 
reason for such diversions; and (4) the airlines' obligations 
under current laws and regulations to support its passengers 
during a flight diversion.
    FAA Reauthorization Implementation.--The FAA should 
prioritize implementation of sections 363 and 364 the FAA 
Reauthorization Act of 2024 regarding air tour and sport 
parachute safety and on the Hawaii air noise and safety task 
force.
    Human Intervention Motivation Study [HIMS] and Flight 
Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program [FADAP].--The Committee 
recognizes the effectiveness of HIMS and FADAP in mitigating 
drug and alcohol abuse through a peer identification and 
intervention program and expects the FAA to continue to 
prioritize these programs.
    Crew Complements.--The presence of a minimum of two well 
trained, qualified pilots in commercial aircraft is another 
example of safety through redundancy. Funding made available in 
this act shall not support reductions in flight deck crew in 
commercial operations as provided under 14 CFR Part 121. This 
direction is not intended to limit FAA's research and 
development activities related to unmanned aerial vehicles.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The facilities and equipment appropriation provides funding 
for modernizing and improving air traffic control and airway 
facilities, equipment, and systems. 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 
NAS. The program aims to keep pace with the increasing demands 
of aeronautical activity and remain in accordance with the FAA 
comprehensive 5-year capital investment plan.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,600,000,000 
for the facilities and equipment account of the FAA. The 
recommended level is equal to the budget request and 
$408,750,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. The 
Committee expects the FAA to make sound investment decisions 
and report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
on any major cost overruns or delays. The Committee continues 
to direct the FAA to notify the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 3 business days of the joint resources 
council making any final investment decisions, establishing a 
baseline for previously approved projects, or making 
acquisition program baseline changes that alter program 
performance, cost or schedule baseline.

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

    NextGen--UAS.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$17,000,000 for this program to enable the FAA to complete the 
development and standardization of airborne collision avoidance 
system [ACAS] program, to support UAS, small UAS, and 
rotorcraft operations. The ACAS program may provide a safety-
enhancing replacement for the existing traffic alert and 
collision avoidance system [TCAS II] to support NextGen 
operations.
    Integrated Departure/Arrival Capability [IDAC].--The 
Committee recommendation includes sufficient funding to install 
IDAC at the remaining seven air route traffic control centers. 
Completing the deployment of this capability is a key component 
in moving the FAA more fully towards trajectory based 
operations. The Committee urges the FAA to work expeditiously 
to install IDAC at these remaining seven centers and to provide 
regular updates to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the implementation status of this new 
equipment until the work has been completed.
    Offshore Automation.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$30,000,000 for offshore automation. The FAA should keep the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations up to date on 
this critical project and ensure that the project incorporate 
the needs of the FAA service operations centers, including 
equipage, cabinetry and consoles, and improved floor-space 
design.
    Commercial Space Integration.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $4,500,000 for commercial space integration 
activities. This includes funding to operationalize the space 
operations portal and for the investment analysis in 
preparation for the final investment decision for a program to 
enable space data to be displayed on existing automation 
systems. The FAA should continue its work on the development, 
acquisition, and deployment of technologies and capabilities, 
including automation where appropriate, to aid in space launch 
and reentry integration into the NAS and to enable near real-
time dynamic rerouting of commercial aircraft during and 
following commercial space launch and reentry operations. The 
FAA is directed to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 180 days after the enactment of 
this act on its efforts, including potential challenges it may 
face, to integrate space launch and reentry tracking data into 
air traffic controller displays.
    Future Flight Services Program.--The Committee is 
supportive of the Department's efforts to modernize flight 
services operations in Alaska and offer enhanced functions and 
capabilities to, as well as improve the safety of, general 
aviation pilots. However, the Committee remains concerned about 
the replacement of current legacy automation services. The FAA 
should develop a plan and complete an investment analysis 
needed for replacement of existing service, as required by the 
FAA acquisition management system, within 120 days after the 
enactment of this act.
    Don Young Alaska Aviation Safety Initiative.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $25,000,000 to implement the Don Young 
Alaska aviation safety initiative [DYAASI], which includes 
$20,000,000 from this budget line item [BLI], $3,500,000 from 
the ADS-B NAS-wide implementation BLI, and $1,500,000 from the 
weather camera program BLI. The Committee notes the persistent 
lack of certified weather reporting capability in the FAA 
Alaska region and directs the FAA to provide the Committee with 
a plan for the visual weather observation program within 90 
days of enactment of this act.
    Terminal Flight Data Manager [TFDM].--The Committee 
recommendation includes $59,100,000 and directs the FAA to 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on 
the feasibility, challenges, and benefits of expanding the 
number of airports on the TFDM waterfall, consistent with 
section 619(e) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024.
    Terminal and En Route Surveillance Portfolio.--The DoD and 
the FAA operate networks of airport surveillance radar that 
monitor the airspace for cooperative and non-cooperative 
aircraft and weather conditions for commercial flights. The FAA 
should continue its efforts to upgrade these radars to extend 
their life and avoid costly replacements.
    Landing and Lighting Portfolio.--The Committee is aware 
that many aging instrument landing systems [ILS] were installed 
in the 1970's and 1980's and their age presents a significant 
threat to maintaining NAS capacity and safety. The Committee 
provides $10,000,000 for ILS within this heading, and also 
allocates $40,000,000 from fiscal year 2025 IIJA funds from the 
navigation, landing and lighting portfolio, of which 
$18,000,000 should be used for ILS installation. The Committee 
also supports the FAA's efforts to replace visual aids systems 
that utilize incandescent bulbs with light emitting diode that 
reduce energy usage and has provided funding for the 
procurement, installation, and commissioning of precision 
approach path indicators.
    Military Operations Areas.--The Committee finds that radar 
and future NextGen systems capable of controlling airspace down 
to 500 feet above ground level enhances aviation safety in 
military operations areas that overlay public use airports. The 
Committee recommends that the FAA utilize existing resources to 
promptly provide radar or NextGen capability in areas with more 
than 5,000 operations per year.
    Airspace Integration.--The Committee encourages the FAA to 
partner with powered-lift aircraft manufacturers, to simulate 
and prepare for high density instrument flight rules [IFR] 
integration into the NAS. The Committee directs the FAA to 
evaluate operational guidelines including air traffic control 
procedures, noise and interference mitigation strategies, and 
safety standards for the full NAS integration of high density 
IFR powered-lift aircraft.
    Facility Replacement and Radar Modernization.--The FAA 
currently owns 370 facilities and 618 radars, most of which are 
decades old and well beyond their useful life, requiring 
expensive repairs and short-term fixes to avoid gaps in air 
traffic services. Replacement of these facilities and radar is 
critical to the safe operations of the NAS, including for the 
DOD, DHS, and other law enforcement agencies. To address this 
backlog, the budget request includes a mandatory funding 
proposal for the FAA to replace and modernize its air traffic 
control towers, terminal radar approach control facilities, air 
route traffic control centers, and radars. The Committee 
encourages the FAA to continue working with the authorizing 
committees of jurisdiction on the details of this proposal. The 
Committee believes any such proposal should also include a 
requirement to submit a spend plan to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations for approval. The Committee also 
directs the FAA be mindful of the consideration of aging towers 
referenced in section 608 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 
2024 in the development of this proposal and in the Facilities 
and Equipment spend plans.

development programs to improve the air traffic control system 
by increasing its safety and capacity, as well as by reducing 
the environmental impacts of air traffic. The programs are 
designed to meet the expected air traffic demands of the future 
and to promote flight safety through improvements in 
facilities, equipment, techniques, and procedures to ensure 
that the system will safely and efficiently handle future 
volumes of aircraft traffic.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $290,000,000 for the FAA's 
research, engineering, and development activities. The

airworthiness certification and $4,000,000 is to advance the 
use of fiber reinforced composite materials in the commercial 
aviation industry through the FAA joint advanced materials and 
structures COE. The Committee also recognizes the importance of 
advanced manufacturing for aerospace. The FAA should conduct 
research, in partnership with the commercial sector, to address 
gaps in knowledge for the use of large-scale metal wire arc 
additive manufacturing in aerospace, including to manufacture 
aerospace products such as aircraft and other aerospace 
vehicles. The focus of the research should be: (1) process 
development for the creation of additive manufacturing design 
and manufacturing standards for aerospace vehicles; (2) 
improving certification efficiency of additively manufactured 
aviation products; (3) evaluating long-term material and 
structural behavior and associated maintenance, including 
support for fatigue life determination, structural changes 
related to fatigue, thermal, corrosive environments, and 
expected maintenance of such material to include recommended 
repair techniques; and (4) utilizing commercial partners to 
mature and certify large-scale metal wire arc additive 
manufacturing and advanced materials capabilities, including 
the development and qualification of new material chemistries, 
optimized for large-scale metal wire arc additive 
manufacturing, to be used in the manufacture of aerospace 
vehicles.
    UAS Research.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$21,500,000 for UAS research. Of this amount, $14,100,000 is 
for the expanded role of the UAS COE in research areas 
including, but not limited to, cybersecurity, agricultural 
applications, and BVLOS, of which $2,000,000 is for 
transportation disaster preparedness and response, partnering 
with institutions that have demonstrated experience in damage 
assessment, collaboration with State transportation agencies, 
and applied UAS field testing, and of which $2,000,000 is to 
continue efforts with the safety standards of UAS for 
development and validation of certification standards for such 
systems.
    Environment and Energy.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $21,000,000 for environment and energy, of which 
$8,500,000 shall be for the aviation sustainability center 
[ASCENT] COE on sustainable aviation fuels [SAFs].
    NextGen-Environmental Research-Aircraft Technologies and 
Fuels.--The Committee recommendation includes $69,771,000, of 
which $26,565,000 shall be for the ASCENT COE on SAFs and 
aviation noise, and $38,000,000 shall be for the continuous 
lower energy, emissions, and noise [CLEEN] program. The 
Committee continues to direct the FAA to prioritize research 
related to SAFs, certification of SAFs, and challenges 
associated with the SAF supply chain. The Office of Environment 
and Energy and the Office of Airports should work together to 
identify SAF-related projects at airports that can be funded 
from airport improvement program grants. The FAA should also 
support hydrogen and fuel-cell related technologies that could 
reduce the noise and emissions footprint in future aircraft.
    Within the CLEEN program, the FAA may use any unused funds 
to work with commercial supersonic aircraft manufacturers that 
will help mature clean and quiet technologies for conventional 
non-supersonic aircraft manufacturers.
    Aviation Grant Management.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $25,000,000 for the aviation workforce development 
programs as authorized by section 625 of the FAA 
Reauthorization Act of 2018, as amended by the FAA 
Reauthorization Act of 2024.
    The Committee encourages the FAA, to prioritize applicants 
for the aviation workforce development programs that provide an 
assurance to either use grant funds to: (1) encourage the 
participation of populations that are underrepresented in the 
aviation industry, including women, minorities, and individuals 
in economically disadvantaged communities and rural 
communities; or (2) strengthen aviation programs at a minority-
serving institution, a public institution of higher education, 
or a public postsecondary vocational institution, including 
such institutions in rural communities.
    Aircraft Accessibility Research.--The Committee continues 
to direct the FAA to research how transport category aircraft 
accessibility can be improved. This research should include how 
manual and powered personal wheelchairs can be safely secured 
in the passenger seating areas of transport category airplanes, 
determining the optimal safe evacuation processes for persons 
with disabilities, including persons who use wheelchairs, and 
determining how various types of transport category airplanes 
could most safely and efficiently be retrofit for accessible 
lavatories.
    PFAS-Free Aviation Fire Suppression Technologies.--The 
Committee encourages the FAA to conduct research and 
development activities, including partnerships with the DoD and 
U.S. industry, to identify, develop and test technologies that 
will provide an alternative to fire protection systems with 
hydrofluorocarbons and halon technologies that are critical 
safety of flight systems in use across civil, commercial and 
military aircraft today.
    Electric Aircraft.--The FAA should identify and prioritize 
technical assistance, research, workforce development, and 
funding opportunities to support aircraft operators 
transitioning to electric aircraft. The FAA should also 
coordinate with outside stakeholders to identify opportunities 
to advance electrification of current and future aircraft.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Funding for grants-in-aid for airports pays for capital 
improvements at the Nation's airports, including those 
investments that emphasize capacity development, safety 
improvements, and security needs. Other priority areas for 
funding under this program include improvements to runway 
safety areas that do not conform to FAA standards, investments 
that are designed to reduce runway incursions, and aircraft 
noise compatibility planning and programs.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation on obligations and a 
liquidating cash appropriation of $4,000,000,000 for grants-in-
aid for airports for fiscal year 2025. This is $650,000,000 
more than the enacted level for fiscal year 2024 and the budget 
request.
    Administrative Expenses.--The Committee recommends not more 
than $163,624,000 to cover administrative expenses. This 
funding level is equal to the budget request and $11,476,000 
more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. Increased 
staffing should be used to support the FAA's work to help 
airports develop plans to mitigate the impact of climate change 
on airport infrastructure.
    Airport Cooperative Research.--The Committee recommends not 
less than $15,000,000 for the airport cooperative research 
program. This funding level is equal to the budget estimate and 
the fiscal year 2024 enacted level.
    Airport Technology.--The Committee recommends not less than 
$43,360,000 for airport technology research. This funding level 
is equal to the budget request and $1,559,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2024 enacted level. Of this amount, $6,000,000 is 
for the airfield pavement technology program authorized under 
section 744 of Public Law 115-254, of which $3,000,000 is for 
concrete pavement research and $3,000,000 is for asphalt 
pavement research.
    Small Community Air Service Development Program.--The 
Committee recommends $15,000,000. This funding level is 
$5,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and 
$15,000,000 more than the budget request.
    Cost Share.--The bill includes a provision that allows 
small airports to continue contributing 5 percent of the total 
cost for unfinished phased projects that were underway prior to 
the passage of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 
(Public Law 112-095).
    AIP Enplanement Levels.--The Committee directs the FAA to 
consider the full range of flight activities (such as flight 
training, air cargo, emergency response, pilot training, etc.) 
and associated metrics when considering AIP discretionary 
grants. The Committee also recognizes that, in certain areas of 
the country, airlines are beginning to operate ticketed flights 
on motorcoach rather than regional jet, amid rising prices to 
operate flights. Passengers transported by motorcoach are not 
counted as enplanements, thereby reducing an airports' AIP 
funding and passenger facility charge revenue. The Committee 
encourages the FAA to study the financial impact of secure-side 
motorcoach access programs on airports, and possible strategies 
to mitigate any reduction in revenue.
    Zero-Emission Vehicle [ZEV] and Voluntary Airport Low 
Emissions [VALE] Programs.--The Committee directs the FAA to 
provide not less than $50,000,000 for ZEV and VALE eligible 
projects. The Committee expects the FAA to actively engage with 
airport sponsors at major hubs to identify projects suitable 
for the VALE program, such as energy efficiency, energy 
resiliency, and renewable energy projects that would help 
prevent power disruptions or outages.
    Sound Insulation.--The Committee is aware that certain 
sound insulation projects installed prior to 2002 caused 
physical damage to the residence or the materials used for such 
insulation have deteriorated, broken, or are otherwise no 
longer functional. As such, the Committee directs the FAA to 
consider residences that were mitigated prior to 2002 with 
sound insulation as ``unmitigated'', and any new sound 
insulation shall be considered a one-time mitigation, subject 
to current requirements for determining eligibility for sound 
insulation, if an airport can verify that: (1) the residences 
continue to fall within the latest day-night average sound 
level [DNL] 65 decibel [dB] contour; (2) the residential 
structure is experiencing an average interior noise level of 
DNL 45 dB or higher; (3) any previously installed sound 
insulation for which prior Federal financial assistance or 
passenger facility charges resulted in structural deterioration 
that was not caused by any actions attributed to the owner or 
occupant of the residence, nor by the failure of a property 
owner to repair or maintain a residential building; and (4) the 
applicant and the property owner demonstrate having made good 
faith effort to exhaust any amounts available through 
warranties, insurance coverage, and legal remedies for the 
sound insulation treatment previously installed on the eligible 
residence.
    The FAA has previously determined other sound insulation 
treatments to be considered as ``unmitigated'' and should 
provide the same flexibility to these treatments. The FAA 
should also continue to require applicants and property owners 
to conform to currently published FAA standards that would 
achieve a measurable reduction in interior noise levels.
    Airport Growth.--Airport modernization and growth projects 
rely on a combination of Federal, State, and local funds, as 
well as airlines, in some instances. For airports experiencing 
growth in traffic, this requires long-term cooperation and 
partnerships between these government and private sector 
entities. The Secretary and the FAA should help coordinate 
these partnerships between airports and airlines, to the extent 
permissible under current law, to ensure funding commitments 
are met and that they adequately capitalize on prior or ongoing 
Federal investments at the airport.
    Long-Term Trends in Aviation.--Certain long-term trends in 
society, such as extreme weather, electrification, automation, 
and demographic changes of the workforce, may have significant 
impacts on airports and their funding needs. The Committee 
directs the GAO to conduct a study on these and other major 
trends that could impact airports and their funding needs over 
the long-term, and how the U.S. commercial aviation industry 
and the FAA can adapt to them.
    Boarding Bridges.--The Committee supports section 711 of 
Public Law 118-63, the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, that 
prohibits Federal funding from going towards the procurement of 
passenger boarding bridges from Chinese State-owned, 
controlled, or subsidized companies that seek to threaten the 
United States' economy and national security.
    Energy Savings.--While the Committee supports efforts by 
airports to reduce energy use, the FAA has determined that 
energy savings performance contracts are considered an 
operational expense and therefore not an eligible expense under 
the airports terminal program and the airport improvement 
program. However, the FAA should work with airports to use such 
contracts with non-Federal grant funds. The Committee directs 
the FAA to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on legislative changes necessary to allow 
airports to use energy savings performance contracts.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Funding for grants-in-aid for airports pays for capital 
improvements at the Nation's airports, including those 
investments that emphasize capacity development, safety 
improvements, and security needs. Other priority areas for 
funding under this program include improvements to runway 
safety areas that do not conform to FAA standards, investments 
that are designed to reduce runway incursions, and aircraft 
noise compatibility planning and programs.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $521,155,000, of 
which $70,000,000 is for the PFAS replacement program for 
airports, as authorized under section 767 of the FAA 
Reauthorization Act of 2024, $230,000,000 is for additional 
airport infrastructure grants, and $221,155,000 is CDS. This 
amount is $11,237,074 less than the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
level and $521,155,000 more than the budget request. The 
Committee directs the FAA to provide funding for the CDS 
projects listed in the table at the end of this report in the 
corresponding amounts. The Committee further directs that the 
specific funding allocated in the table below shall not 
diminish or prejudice the application of a specific airport or 
geographic region to receive other AIP discretionary grants or 
multi-year letters of intent. The Committee is aware of the 
importance of this funding for nonhub, small hub, reliever, and 
nonprimary airports.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal-aid highway program provides financial support 
to States and localities for the development, construction, and 
repair of highways and bridges through grants. This program is 
financed from the Highway Trust Fund, and most of the funds are 
distributed through apportionments and allocations to States. 
Title 23 of the United States Code and other supporting 
legislation provide authority for the various activities of the 
FHWA. Funding is provided by contract authority, with program 
levels established by annual limitations on obligations set 
forth in appropriations acts.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends limiting fiscal year 2025 
obligations for the Federal-aid highway program to 
$61,314,170,545, which is equal to the budget request and 
$1,218,387,657 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level.
    Resilient Electric Vehicle Infrastructure.--The Committee 
encourages FHWA and the Joint Office of Energy and 
Transportation [Joint Office] to prioritize research, 
development, deployment, and demonstrations of new and proven 
technologies for improving electric vehicle infrastructure 
system resiliency, including advanced charge control 
optimization technology beyond traditional constant current/
constant voltage charging.
    Security Risks of Electric Vehicles.--The Committee is 
concerned about the potential security risks of EVs built by 
automakers from certain foreign entities of concern, and the 
extent to which such automakers empower their governments to 
access sensitive data for national security purposes. There 
remains a potential for unauthorized access to collect and 
transmit data implement surveillance capabilities embedded 
within a vehicle's technology, which could allow someone to 
disable a vehicle. The risk also extends to charging stations 
and the Nation's electric grid through bidirectional charging. 
The Committee appreciates the Joint Office's efforts to develop 
sample cybersecurity procurement language clauses that can be 
modified for use in requests for proposals [RFPs] and contracts 
with electric vehicle service providers. To further its efforts 
to identify and address cybersecurity risks to U.S. electric 
vehicle charging infrastructure, the Committee directs the 
Department and the Joint Office to coordinate with key partners 
across Federal Government, such as the Office of the National 
Cyber Director, the Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, 
and Emergency Response, and the Vehicle Technologies Office on 
these issues and to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on its efforts within 1 year of enactment of 
this act.
    Charger Technology.--The FHWA's national electric vehicle 
infrastructure [NEVI] regulations under 23 CFR 680.106(c) 
require all electric vehicle charging ports funded by the NEVI 
program to have at least one permanently attached combined 
charging system [CCS] type 1 connector and to be capable of 
charging a CCS-compliant vehicle. Since this guidance was 
issued, however, most automakers announced plans to use North 
American charging standard port for future vehicles. In 
addition, the Society of Automotive Engineers [SAE] has 
published a technical information report for a new connector 
standard, known as J3400, and is anticipated to approve UL 2251 
system certification for this new connector standard. The FHWA 
has also issued a request for information [RFI] on this new 
standard. The Committee directs the FHWA to use information 
received from the RFI to update its regulations to reflect the 
widespread adoption of the new J3400 connector standard as soon 
as the SAE J3400 standard is published.
    Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicles.--The Committee directs the 
Joint Office to continue to support efforts to decarbonize all 
vehicle sectors under the authorities made available by the 
IIJA. The Committee directs the FHWA and the Joint Office to 
leverage funding across both agencies, to the extent 
permissible under current law, to coordinate investments, and 
to prepare guidelines for States and utilities on how to meet 
the power generation necessary for infrastructure for zero-
emission heavy-duty vehicles. The FHWA and the Joint Office 
should also work with State Departments of Transportation 
[DOTs], where requested, to increase the number of charging 
stations that include at least one dual-purpose pull-through 
charging lane with charging speeds greater than 150kW, and to 
promote site proposals that address proximity to freight 
corridors and major distribution hubs, future-proofing measures 
for charging speeds up to 1.5MW, wide ingress and egress, as 
well as cable lengths and charger locations.
    Electric Vehicle Working Group.--The Committee applauds the 
Joint Office and the electric vehicle working group's efforts 
to expand engagement with stakeholders beyond those required 
under section 25006 of IIJA, such as the rental car industry. 
The Joint Office and the working group should also consider 
engaging with additional industries and groups, such as the 
travel and tourism industry, highway patrol and law 
enforcement, consumer advocacy or educational groups, and 
school bus operators. The Committee also appreciates the 
interagency engagement with the General Services Administration 
[GSA], which has the ability to maximum the Federal 
Government's purchasing power.
    Publicly Accessible EV Charging Stations.--Shared, multi-
fleet heavy-duty EV charging locations will play a major role 
in the adoption and deployment of electric heavy-duty trucks, 
including by independent operators and small businesses. For 
the charging and fueling infrastructure grant program, the 
Department should strive to adopt a uniform definition for 
publicly accessible infrastructure, which should allow for EV 
charging infrastructure that is open to the general public or 
to authorized commercial motor vehicle operators from more than 
one company.
    Bridge Investment Program.--The IIJA provides $20,000,000 
for planning, feasibility analysis, and revenue forecasting 
associated with the development of a project that would 
subsequently be eligible to apply for assistance under the 
competitive bridge investment program to address pressing 
bridge needs. The Committee supports the use of these funds 
prior to the application process to improve project proposals.
    Interstate Projects in the Intermountain West.--The 
Committee encourages the FHWA to work with State DOTs and local 
governments to move forward on several projects in the 
intermountain west, including I-11 construction, and provide 
technical assistance and resources as needed.
    Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program.--The Committee encourages 
the FHWA to work with States to reduce wildlife-vehicle 
collisions through quick implementation of the wildlife 
crossings pilot program and through the highway safety 
improvement program and eligibilities under 23 U.S.C. 
48(a)(4)(B)(xvii). The Committee directs the FHWA to provide 
technical assistance related to the implementation of 23 U.S.C. 
48(a)(4)(B)(xvii), as needed.
    Carbon Dioxide Sequester.--Capturing carbon dioxide from 
the atmosphere and converting it to carbonates for use in the 
construction industry as aggregates, binding agents, and 
concrete could have positive environmental benefits, but the 
performance of these materials is not well understood. The 
Committee directs the FHWA to evaluate ongoing research, and if 
appropriate, use up to $200,000 to conduct field testing of 
cements and aggregates which utilize and sequester carbon 
dioxide.
    Microplastics.--The Committee is concerned with the 
alarming amounts of microplastic pollution in our Nation's 
waterways from transportation related activities. Remediation 
for microplastics is new and poorly understood, and so 
prevention of future accumulation is crucial. The Committee 
encourages the FHWA to investigate the role of the 
transportation sector in microplastic pollution, as well to 
research, aggregate, and provide best practices to prevent or 
mitigate microplastic pollution from entering our Nation's 
waters and environment.
    Asphalt Research.--The Committee directs the FHWA to 
evaluate research initiatives eligible under the FHWA's highway 
research and development program focusing on the properties of 
purified bituminous coal waste as a source of high quality 
carbon to be used as an additive for asphalt road building, and 
provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of this act 
outlining the FHWA's action plan to evaluate such research. The 
Committee also encourages the FHWA to use public-private 
partnerships to advance its research on the use of purified 
carbon-rich materials as environmentally beneficial additives 
for road building material.
    Safe System.--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 
these incidents. The Committee directs the FHWA to continue 
developing resources and providing technical assistance to help 
State and local governments facilitate the implementation of 
their vision zero plans and strategies to reduce pedestrian 
fatalities and injuries consistent with the directives under 
this heading contained in House Report 117-402 and Senate 
Report 118-70.
    Moveable Barriers.--The Committee urges the FHWA to work 
with State DOTs to consider the feasibility of utilizing or 
deploying innovative technologies, including moveable barriers, 
that provide traffic congestion relief, offer quick 
alternatives to costly road construction, result in safer 
roadways, help eliminate crossover fatalities, allow for 
flexibility, improve air quality, and decrease fuel 
consumption.
    National Motor Vehicle Per Mile User Fee Pilot Program.--
The IIJA requires the Department to set up a national motor 
vehicle per mile user fee pilot program, consistent with the 
recommendations of an advisory board comprised of a variety of 
stakeholders. The Committee encourages the Department to 
expeditiously select members of the advisory board, who can 
then make recommendations for the pilot program.
    Truck Parking.--The Committee is aware of the lack of safe 
truck parking on our Nation's highways, which creates a hazard 
for truck drivers, reduces safety for all road users, and 
hinders recruitment of a more diverse trucking workforce. The 
Committee commends the Department for identifying existing 
sources of funding in the IIJA that States can use to address 
the nationwide truck parking shortage and for working with 
private sector stakeholders, State DOTs, and metropolitan 
planning organizations to fund requests for discretionary grant 
funding to increase the availability of safe truck parking. The 
Committee directs the Department to continue these efforts and 
to continue to use existing discretionary grant programs to 
fund truck parking projects, where eligible and appropriate.
    National Culvert Removal, Replacement, and Restoration 
Grant Program.--The Committee appreciates the Department 
clarifying in its recent NOFO for the culvert aquatic organisms 
passage [AOP] program that recipients and sub-recipients may 
request alternative funding arrangements, as permissible under 
2 CFR Part 200. However, it does not provide any details on 
what these alternative funding arrangements are or what 
information recipients are required to submit to be approved 
for them. The Committee is aware that AOP applicants face 
challenges with a grant program that provides funding on a 
reimbursable basis. The Committee directs the Department to 
proactively provide information on alternative funding 
arrangements, including what written procedures and financial 
management systems applicants are required to maintain and 
demonstrate in order to meet the fund control and 
accountability requirements under 2 CFR Part 200. The Committee 
also directs the Department to do so with regard to the 
authority it has to provide cash on a working capital advance 
basis. The Department should do so through webinars, trainings, 
technical assistance, and any means necessary to bring this 
information to the large number of potential applicants for 
this grant program. The Department should use successful 
examples of such arrangements from the first round of awardees. 
The Department should make available to potential applicants, 
upon request, relevant staff with sufficient budgetary and 
legal expertise in these alternative funding arrangements, and 
respond to questions from potential applicants on these matters 
within 15 days of such request. The Committee also urges the 
Department to further clarify to potential applicants how grant 
recipients can partner with implementation entities, such as 
non-profit organizations, through the use of a contract or 
other agreement, to deliver a project.
    The most recent NOFO also requires applicants to identify 
design standards that will be used for fish passage 
improvements, but does not specifically identify any such 
design standards. The Committee expects the Department to work 
with NOAA, and other Federal agencies, to develop a minimum 
design standard that includes minimum fish passage 
requirements, hydraulic design methodology that incorporates 
the impact of climate change on hydrology, and minimum project 
design life and sizing standards that are climate resilient. 
The Department shall brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on these efforts within 180 days of enactment of 
this act.

                 LIQUIDATION OF CONTRACT AUTHORIZATION

                           HIGHWAY TRUST FUND

Appropriations, 2024.................................... $60,834,782,888
Budget estimate, 2025...................................  62,011,047,545
Committee recommendation................................  62,011,047,545

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal-aid highway program is funded through contract 
authority paid out of the Highway Trust Fund. Most forms of 
budget authority provide the authority to enter into 
obligations and then to liquidate those obligations. Put 
another way, it allows a Federal agency to commit to spending 
money on specified activities and then to actually spend that 
money. In contrast, contract authority provides only the 
authority to enter into obligations, but not the authority to 
liquidate those obligations. The authority to liquidate 
obligations, to actually spend the money committed with 
contract authority, must be provided separately. The authority 
to liquidate obligations under the Federal-aid highway program 
is provided under this heading. This liquidating authority 
allows the FHWA to follow through on commitments already 
allowed under current law; it does not provide the authority to 
enter into new commitments for Federal spending.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a liquidating cash appropriation 
of $62,011,047,545. The recommended level is equal to the 
budget request and $1,176,264,657 more than the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level. This level of liquidating authority is 
necessary to pay outstanding obligations from various highway 
accounts pursuant to this and prior appropriations acts.

                    HIGHWAY INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $2,224,676,687
Budget estimate, 2025...................................................
Committee recommendation................................   1,116,889,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Committee provides funding for highway infrastructure 
programs [HIP] to improve highway safety and efficiency for all 
Americans through general fund investments in addition to 
levels authorized in the IIJA (Public Law 117-58).

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $1,116,889,000 in 
funding from the general fund for highway infrastructure 
programs, which is $1,107,787,687 less than the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level and $1,116,889,000 more than the budget 
request. An additional $400,000,000 is provided for HIP in 
section 125 from repurposed unobligated balances of TIFIA 
program contract authority. Of the total amount provided, 
$567,889,000 is for CDS, and the Committee directs the FHWA to 
provide funding for the projects listed in the table at the end 
of this report in the corresponding amounts.
    National Scenic Byways Program.--The Committee directs the 
FHWA to not include any preference for projects based on the 
total cost of the project when awarding grants under this 
program. The Committee notes that the FHWA has yet to produce a 
comprehensive map of the Nation's scenic byways and encourages 
the FHWA to prioritize producing such a map, which would be a 
useful resource for both transportation planners and the 
traveling public. Of the funds provided for this program, 
$1,000,000 shall be for FHWA technical assistance activities. 
For the purposes of this program, technical assistance as 
authorized in 23 U.S.C. 162 may include the development and 
dissemination of resources for use by States and Tribes such as 
a program website, updated maps, and economic research.
    Stormwater Management.--The Committee is concerned with the 
impact of emerging contaminants, such as the compound N-(1,3-
dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine [6PPD] and its 
transformant, 6PPD-quinone. The Committee recommendation 
includes $8,000,000 for the FHWA to work with State DOTs and 
other relevant State agencies to build or implement, operate, 
and maintain low-cost and rapidly deployable stormwater 
management technologies and techniques to reduce the impacts of 
6PPD and 6PPD-quinone on salmon-bearing streams.
    The results of this research shall be used by the FHWA to 
inform its stormwater policies and guidance publications. This 
research shall be conducted in coordination with Federal, 
State, and Tribal agencies engaged in relevant research, along 
with academia. This research shall be conducted in locations 
that: (1) have resident salmonid populations that have 
documented acute toxicity effects to the stormwater 
contaminant, 6PPD-quinone, and where harmful stormwater 
contaminants may bioaccumulate in endangered southern resident 
killer whales through their salmon prey; (2) provide a variety 
of land uses for optimizing technologies to specific 
transportation scenarios; (3) are available for near-term 
installation; and (4) provide opportunities for long-term 
monitoring.
    In conducting this research, the FHWA is directed to 
collaborate and consult with NOAA's National Marine Fisheries 
Service [NMFS] to ensure that NMFS will be able to directly 
corroborate the findings and endorse treatment alternatives 
with proven effectiveness. The intent of this collaboration 
shall be to ensure that demonstrably effective treatment 
alternatives identified through this research can help expedite 
NMFS consultations to the extent that stormwater quality is a 
consideration for determination.

       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION

    Section 120 distributes obligation authority among Federal-
aid highway programs.
    Section 121 continues a provision that credits funds 
received by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics to the 
Federal-aid highways account.
    Section 122 sets forth parameters for any waiver of Buy 
America requirements.
    Section 123 mandates 60-day notification for any grants for 
a project under 23 U.S.C. 117 and requires these notifications 
to be made within 180 days of enactment of this act.
    Section 124 allows State DOTs to repurpose certain highway 
project funding and for those funds to be used within 25 miles 
of their original designation.
    Section 125 repurposes unobligated funds for new 
activities.

              Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's [FMCSA's] 
mission is to promote safe commercial motor vehicle and motor 
coach operations, as well as reduce the number and severity of 
accidents involving those vehicles. Agency resources and 
activities prevent and mitigate commercial motor vehicle and 
motor coach accidents through education, regulation, 
enforcement, stakeholder training, technological innovation, 
and improved information systems. The FMCSA is also responsible 
for ensuring that all commercial vehicles entering the United 
States along its Southern and Northern borders comply with all 
Federal motor carrier safety and hazardous materials 
regulations. To accomplish these activities, the FMCSA works 
with Federal, State, and local enforcement agencies, the motor 
carrier industry, highway safety organizations, and the public.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total level of $964,550,000 for 
obligations from the Highway Trust Fund. This level is equal to 
the budget request and $37,250,000 more than the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level.

Budget estimate, 2025...................................     438,100,000
Committee recommendation................................     438,100,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides necessary resources 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 Federal safety enforcement activities at the United 
States-Mexico border in order to ensure that Mexican carriers 
entering the United States are in compliance with FMCSA 
regulations. Resources are also provided to fund motor carrier 
regulatory development and implementation, information 
management, research and technology, safety education and 
outreach, and the 24-hour safety and consumer telephone 
hotline.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation on obligations of 
$438,100,000 for the FMCSA's operations and programs, of which 
$55,000,000 is transferred from prior year unobligated contract 
authority. The recommendation is $27,100,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2024 enacted level and equal to the budget request. 
Of the total limitation on obligations, $26,073,000 is for 
research and technology, not less than $106,698,000 is for 
information technology and information management [IM], and not 
less than $12,000,000 is for a study of causal factors of 
medium-duty truck crashes.
    The Committee continues to direct the FMCSA to provide a 
spending plan for the amounts provided for IT and IM and to 
update the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on 
modernizing its legacy systems no less than annually.
    Predatory Towing.--The Committee is aware that 49 U.S.C. 
14501(c)(1) makes the Federal Government the sole regulator of 
tow truck operators when towing a vehicle with the prior 
consent or authorization of its owner or operator; however, 
like the States, the FMCSA does not have explicit statutory 
authority to regulate towing fees, and Federal regulations have 
never been promulgated that prohibit excessive fees in these 
circumstances. While the vast majority of towing and storage 
firms are honest and well-intentioned, few bad actors have been 
allowed to operate in a regulatory gap without oversight or 
accountability. Predatory towing can lead to supply chain 
disruptions when motor carriers are held hostage to unethical 
practices in towing and recovery. The Committee directs the 
FMCSA to engage with local, State, and private sector 
stakeholders to study current practices concerning towing and 
recovery regulation and fees in order to ensure fair and 
equitable treatment of roadway safety clearance opportunities 
for motor carriers.
    Alternative Warning Devices for AV Trucks.--The deployment 
and operation of autonomous trucks are currently inhibited by 
roadway safety warning device regulations that require human 
deployment in the event of a motor vehicle being disabled. The 
FMCSA shall review existing research and information on the 
safety impacts of alternative safety warning device systems or 
signs that can be placed on the roadway, on or around a stopped 
commercial motor vehicle [CMV] without human deployment while 
maintaining an equivalent or greater level of safety and report 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations of its 
findings within 120 days of enactment of this act.

Budget estimate, 2025...................................     516,300,000
Committee recommendation................................     526,450,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides resources for Federal grants to 
support compliance, enforcement, and other programs performed 
by States. Grants are also provided to States for enforcement 
efforts at both the Southern and Northern borders in order to 
fortify points of entry into the United States with 
comprehensive safety measures; improve State commercial 
driver's license [CDL] oversight activities to prevent 
unqualified drivers from being issued CDLs; and support the 
performance registration information systems and management 
program, which links State motor vehicle registration systems 
with carrier safety data in order to identify unsafe commercial 
motor carriers.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation on obligations and 
authority to liquidate an equal amount of contract 
authorization of $526,450,000 for motor carrier safety grants. 
The recommended limitation is $10,150,000 more than the fiscal 
year 2024 enacted level and equal to the budget request.

 ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY ADMINISTRATION

    Section 130 prohibits funds from being used to enforce the 
electronic logging device rule with respect to carriers 
transporting livestock or insects.
    Section 131 prohibits funds from being used to require the 
use of inward-facing cameras or require a motor carrier to be 
enrolled in the Department of Labor's registered apprenticeship 
program as conditions for participation in the safe driver 
apprenticeship pilot program.

             National Highway Traffic Safety Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA] 
was established as a separate organizational entity within the 
Department of Transportation in March 1970 in order to 
administer motor vehicle and highway safety programs. It is the 
successor agency to the National Highway Safety Bureau, which 
was housed within the FHWA. NHTSA is responsible for 
administering motor vehicle safety, highway safety behavior, 
motor vehicle information, and automobile fuel economy 
programs.
    NHTSA's mission is to reduce deaths, injuries, and economic 
losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes. 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 
driving, and to promote policies and devices with demonstrated 
safety benefits, including helmets, child safety seats, 
airbags, and graduated 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.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $1,284,845,000, including both 
budget authority and limitations on the obligation of contract 
authority. This funding is equal to the President's request and 
$47,344,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level.

                        OPERATIONS AND RESEARCH

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    These programs support traffic safety initiatives and 
related research, demonstrations, technical assistance, and 
national leadership for highway safety programs conducted by 
State and local governments, the private sector, universities, 
research units, and various safety associations and 
organizations. These highway safety programs emphasize alcohol 
and drug countermeasures, vehicle occupant protection, traffic 
law enforcement, emergency medical and trauma care systems, 
traffic records and licensing, State and community traffic 
safety evaluations, protection of motorcycle riders, pedestrian 
and bicyclist safety, pupil transportation, distracted driving 
prevention, young and older driver safety, and improved 
accident investigation procedures.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee provides $453,400,000 for operations and 
research, which is equal to the President's budget request and 
$29,200,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. Of 
the total amount recommended for Operations and Research, 
$248,000,000 is from the general fund, and $205,400,000 is from 
the Highway Trust Fund. The Committee recommendation includes 
an increase of up to $13,000,000 for NHTSA's rulemakings 
program, and directs NHTSA to prioritize issuing all 
congressionally mandated rulemakings on time, to the maximum 
extent practicable.
    Rulemakings.--The Committee appreciates the progress NHTSA 
has made in issuing proposed and final rulemakings over the 
last year. The Committee also appreciates the quarterly 
briefings on the status of major rulemakings, and directs NHTSA 
to continue to provide such briefings on a quarterly basis 
using the same format. The Committee continues to believe, 
however, that NHTSA needs to better communicate the reasons for 
delays to congressionally mandated rulemakings to its external 
stakeholders. While the OMB regulatory agenda is the primary 
method for Federal agencies to communicate the status of 
rulemakings, the Committee is all too aware that the 
information on the spring and fall OIRA regulatory agendas 
comes late, is often inaccurate, and does not reflect the 
nuances of the internal rulemaking process.
    As such, the Committee directs NHTSA to create its own 
rulemaking status website, to be updated no less frequently 
than quarterly, that reflects the status of all outstanding 
rulemakings required by MAP-21, the FAST Act, and the IIJA. The 
website shall include for each rulemaking: (1) a realistic 
timeframe for the issuance of the proposed or final rulemaking; 
(2) a description of the work plan for each outstanding 
mandate; (3) an estimate of the NHTSA and OST staff resources, 
research, and contract costs to complete the outstanding 
mandate; (4) any NHTSA and OST resource constraints that could 
delay the rulemaking; (5) any statutory, judicial, or 
regulatory barriers to completing the rulemaking as mandated by 
Congress; and (6) the date of each occurrence on which the 
rulemaking is transmitted between NHTSA and the OST and the 
OMB.
    Digital Alert Technology.--The Committee continues to 
support use of digital alert technologies that can provide up-
to-date information about dynamic conditions on roads to 
drivers. NHTSA should deploy this technology with local law 
enforcement in the field.
    Improving Recall Grant Outreach.--NHTSA's ``State Process 
for Informing Consumers of Recalls'' grant program is intended 
to reduce the number of vehicles that have not been repaired 
appropriately for a vehicle safety recall. This program has 
been shown to be a cost-effective way to both improve safety 
and reduce the burden on vehicle owners. However, too few 
States are applying for this program in part because NHTSA's 
NOFOs have been open for very limited time periods and States 
may not be aware of their access to NHTSA data on open recalls. 
The Committee directs NHTSA to examine these barriers and keep 
future NOFOs open for not less than 4 months, to the maximum 
extent practicable.
    Over-the-Air [OTA] Recalls.--The Committee recognizes that 
as vehicles become more automated and connected, the use of 
over-the-air [OTA] software updates by manufacturers to improve 
vehicle safety will be increasingly important and a core 
experience of modern vehicle ownership. Section 24104 of the 
FAST Act allows vehicle manufacturers to include notification 
of recalls by electronic means in addition to notification by 
first class mail. The Committee encourages NHTSA to modernize 
the recall process to better utilize new technological 
opportunities presented by OTA software updates. The Committee 
further directs NHTSA to assess whether there is any safety 
benefit to requiring recall notifications through first class 
mail for vehicle manufacturers that can otherwise address a 
recall through OTA updates. The Committee directs NHTSA to 
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the 
results of this assessment, on the extent to which vehicle 
manufacturers are currently using electronic notifications for 
recalls, and how vehicle manufacturers can leverage OTA updates 
to distinguish between hardware recalls and critical software 
update campaigns to address an unreasonable risk to safety or a 
non-compliance.
    Impaired Driving.--The Committee continues to support the 
timely implementation of Section 24220 of the IIJA, which 
requires issuance of an impaired driving prevention technology 
safety standard. The Committee notes significant developments 
which support expeditious action on this rulemaking. These 
developments include demonstrations of viable technologies by 
auto industry suppliers and manufacturers; a public statement 
from the manager of the driver alcohol detection system for 
safety [DADSS], the cooperative auto industry-NHTSA technology 
program, that DADSS aims to have technology that complies with 
the IIJA mandate by the end of 2025; and a commitment of 
support for implementing the technology from the chief 
executive of our Nation's largest auto manufacturer.
    The Committee is also aware of the privacy concerns related 
to this rulemaking mandate, and expects NHTSA to thoroughly 
address such concerns in any future proposed rulemaking. The 
success of the implementation of any new standard will depend 
on public acceptance and understanding of the technology. 
Therefore, the Committee encourages NHTSA to work with industry 
and other stakeholders, including drunk driving victims and 
survivors, on coordinating a comprehensive public education 
program regarding the new safety standard.
    New Car Assessment Program [NCAP].--In March 2022, NHTSA 
published a draft NCAP roadmap, but has yet to issue a final 
roadmap. NHTSA is directed to issue a final NCAP roadmap within 
30 days of enactment of this act. The final roadmap should 
adopt the most technologically advanced safety equipment, 
including the most advanced anthropomorphic test dummies 
already used in motor vehicle crash tests by other global 
regulators, and test procedures available in the global and 
domestic marketplace that can be used to physically validate 
the safety of occupants within motor vehicles. This roadmap 
should require the same frontal crash tests for both male and 
female drivers.
    Drug-Impaired Driving.--The Committee remains concerned 
about the rates of drug-impaired driving and supports NHTSA's 
drug-impaired driving initiative, research initiatives, and 
continued education and training efforts with law enforcement 
and prosecutors, such as drug recognition expert and advanced 
roadside impaired driving enforcement training. The Committee 
encourages the collection of toxicology data in fatal 
accidents, and the development of an objective standard to 
measure drug impairment and related field sobriety tests. 
Additionally, NHTSA is encouraged to continue public awareness 
campaigns.
    The Committee also directs NHTSA to provide States with 
flexibility, as permissible under current law, to use impaired 
driving countermeasures grants for these purposes, and to issue 
clarifying guidance on the eligible uses of highway safety 
program grants for roadside drug testing devices.
    Automated Vehicles [AVs].--The Committee recommendation 
includes $13,900,000 for NHTSA's new Office of Automation 
Safety within the Office of Rulemaking to support the safe 
deployment of AVs by developing and setting safety standards, 
evaluating exemption petitions, and overseeing safety 
demonstrations.
    The Committee recommendation includes $3,500,000 for the 
public-private partnership for analytics research in traffic 
safety [PARTS] and its focus on real-world insights that can 
improve the performance of advanced vehicle safety 
technologies. The Committee encourages NHTSA to expand this 
program to include more leading-edge technology like AVs and 
advanced driver assistance systems in order to develop datasets 
to aid with rulemaking and regulation of next generation 
vehicle safety technologies. NHTSA should also consider the 
feasibility and potential benefits of developing a neutral 
application programming interface that enables third-party 
designees of motor vehicle owners to access some motor vehicle 
data in a structured, commonly used machine readable format for 
accident crash investigation purposes.
    The Committee recommendation also provides $1,000,000 for 
the automated vehicle transparency and engagement for safe 
testing [AV TEST] program.
    Automated Driving Systems [ADS] and Advanced Driver 
Assistance Systems [ADAS] Crash Data.--The Committee is aware 
that the data collected and published under NHTSA's Standing 
General Order 2021-01 for crashes involving ADS and ADAS is 
limited and may lack context to fully understand incident 
rates. The Committee directs NHTSA to report on challenges 
related to improving the reporting criteria that would 
normalize data reported to the public under Standing General 
Order 2021-01, and directs NHTSA to brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on how it will streamline the 
reporting process with manufacturers within 1 year of enactment 
of this act.
    Consumer Tire Standards.--In the Energy Independence and 
Security Act [EISA] of 2007, Congress directed that a national 
tire fuel efficiency consumer information program be 
established to educate consumers about the safety, durability, 
and fuel efficiency of replacement tires. In the FAST Act, 
Congress directed NHTSA to promulgate regulations for tire fuel 
efficiency and minimum performance standards, which will be 
important for energy savings, dissemination of information to 
consumers, ensuring U.S. consumers have access to the latest 
tire technologies, and assuring an equal playing field for 
domestic tire producers. The Committee is disappointed that 
NHTSA has not completed this congressionally mandated 
rulemaking. In 2021, the IIJA required the DOT to report to 
Congress on why it had not completed these regulations. The 
report indicated that NHTSA is still collecting and analyzing 
data and plans to publish a proposed rule in 2024. The 
Committee is concerned that NHTSA is having to restart its 
research program for this rulemaking in order to meet the 
requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety 
Act under 49 U.S.C. 30111, and directs NHTSA to provide a 
status update on this research program. The Committee also 
directs NHTSA to issue a NPRM in accordance with the timeline 
set forth by the OMB's unified agenda and regulatory plan and 
brief the House and Senate Committee on Appropriations on a 
realistic timeline to complete this much-delayed rulemaking.
    Traffic Fatalities and Injuries on Tribal Land.--The 
Committee is concerned that crash data on Tribal lands may be 
underreported by NHTSA. In 2018, NHTSA issued a report showing 
that fatal crashes on Native American reservations were 
underreported in previous years, and proposed a new methodology 
to better identify these fatal crashes using a special 
jurisdictional element in the fatality analysis reporting 
system. However, it is unclear what impact this new methodology 
has had to improve fatal crash data, and if this new 
methodology has been used for non-fatal crash reports in 
NHTSA's crash reporting sampling system. The Committee directs 
the GAO to conduct a study to assess Federal management of 
crash data on Tribal lands. The study should consider: (1) the 
data available on fatal and nonfatal crashes on Tribal lands, 
and the extent to which American Indian and Alaska Native 
Tribal governments have access to these data; (2) any actions 
DOT and Bureau of Indian Affairs [BIA] have taken to improve 
the quality and use of data about crashes on Tribal lands; (3) 
additional actions that DOT, BIA, or others could take to 
improve the quality and availability of data about crashes on 
Tribal lands; and (4) the extent to which the IIJA funding for 
the crash data program as authorized under section 24108 of the 
IIJA has benefited Tribes. The GAO should provide this report 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 1 
year of the date of enactment of this act.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    These programs support section 402 State and community 
formula grants, the high visibility enforcement grants, and the 
consolidated national priority safety program, which consists 
of occupant protection grants, State traffic safety information 
grants, impaired driving countermeasures grants, distracted 
driving grants, motorcycle safety grants, State graduated 
driver license grants, and non-motorized safety grants.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation on obligations of 
$831,445,000 and authority to liquidate an equal amount of 
contract authorization for the highway traffic safety grant 
programs funded under this heading. The recommended limitation 
is equal to the budget estimate and $18,144,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2024 enacted level.
    The Committee continues to prohibit the use of section 402 
funds for construction, rehabilitation, or remodeling costs, or 
for office furnishings and fixtures for State, local, or 
private buildings or structures.
    Section 402 State and Community Highway Safety Grant 
Program.--NHTSA's section 402 grant program provides funding 
for State programs to address traffic safety issues, such as 
drug- and alcohol-impaired driving and speeding. States are 
required to submit for NHTSA's approval a data-driven, 
triennial highway safety plan that includes quantifiable, 
annual performance targets and strategies for how the State 
intends to meet those targets. The Committee directs the GAO to 
conduct a study to assess NHTSA's management and implementation 
of the section 402 programs, and to provide a report to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 1 year of 
the date of enactment of this act. The study should consider: 
(1) the steps NHTSA takes to review State plans and 
applications; (2) the extent to which NHTSA examines States' 
use of data to develop performance plans and targets and 
assesses State results; (3) the practices or programs States 
have implemented that have resulted in large improvements in 
safety outcomes for selected national priorities; and (4) 
whether NHTSA has identified and shared these practices or 
programs with other States.

      ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY 
                             ADMINISTRATION

    Section 140 exempts obligation authority, which was made 
available in previous public laws, from limitations on 
obligations for the current year.
    Section 141 requires the Department to create a Vulnerable 
Road User Advisory Committee.

                    Federal Railroad Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The FRA is responsible for planning, developing, and 
administering programs to achieve safe operating and mechanical 
practices in the railroad industry. The FRA is also responsible 
for administering grants to the National Railroad Passenger 
Corporation [Amtrak] and other financial assistance programs to 
rehabilitate and improve railroad infrastructure.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    Under the Committee recommendation, a total program level 
of $3,461,460,000 is provided for the activities of the FRA in 
fiscal year 2025. The recommendation is $261,020,000 more than 
the budget request and $491,266,000 more than the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level. This amount is in addition to the 
$13,200,000,000 in advance appropriations in the IIJA for

Committee recommendation................................     292,817,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Safety and Operations account provides support for FRA 
rail safety activities and all other administrative and 
operating activities related to staff and programs.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recognizes the importance of taking a 
holistic approach to improving railroad safety and supports a 
comprehensive strategy of data-driven regulatory and inspection 
efforts, proactive approaches to identify and mitigate risks, 
and strategic capital investments in order to improve safety. 
The Committee recommends $292,817,000 for Safety and Operations 
for fiscal year 2025, which is $1,148,000 less than the budget 
request and $25,018,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
level. The funding provided, with carryover balances, is 
sufficient to fund safety positions as requested.
    Inspector Workforce.--The Committee remains concerned with 
the current level of safety inspectors despite available 
resources. The Committee supports the budget request to 
increase the inspector level to 400 positions and directs the 
FRA to continue to increase staffing for this critical safety 
workforce, which should be the top staffing priority of the 
agency at this time. As part of addressing potential hiring and 
retention challenges, the Committee encourages the FRA to 
complete its internal update to the classification standard of 
railroad inspectors. Once complete, the FRA shall provide the 
Office of Personnel and Management the suggested update for 
appropriate action. The Committee also directs the FRA to 
continue to exercise its classification authority and review 
position descriptions for accuracy on an ongoing basis.
    Multi-Disciplinary Safety Audits.--The increased funding 
for FRA safety-related personnel also supports the expansion of 
multi-disciplinary safety audit [MDSA] teams. MDSAs were 
developed in response to the East Palestine incident to gain a 
more comprehensive understanding of systemic safety issues on a 
railroad by examining not only regulatory compliance, but also 
overall safety culture and operations. The Committee commends 
the FRA for initiating these assessments, which will include a 
thorough review of each Class I railroad's safety culture, 
practices, regulatory compliance, and recommend changes that 
the FRA will track to completion. To date, the FRA has 
completed its supplemental safety assessment of Norfolk 
Southern, which found the railroad's safety culture to be 
evolving. Among other issues, the agency identified multiple 
violations of the inspection and placarding of rail cars 
containing hazardous materials, and deficiencies in the 
carrier's continuous welded rail plan. The Committee is 
disappointed by reports of other assessments being halted after 
processes were undermined by potential employee coaching. The 
Committee encourages the FRA to continue its due diligence in 
these assessments and in publishing reports detailing the 
agency's findings.
    Automated Track Inspection Program [ATIP].--The Committee 
recommendation includes no less than $20,500,000 for ATIP to 
support the FRA's contract for advanced inspection vehicles, 
which complement the FRA's field inspectors, to validate the 
railroads inspection programs, and to advance research 
priorities. The FRA shall continue to prioritize the inspection 
of routes transporting passengers and hazardous materials.
    System Safety and Maintenance Standards.--The Committee 
urges the FRA to continue prioritizing investments in safety 
and maintenance standardization across the industry, which 
supports the development of technologies designed to verify the 
functional performance of complex onboard and wayside 
electronic systems such as, but not limited to: positive train 
control [PTC], automated train control, passenger door control, 
train communications, computer based train control, propulsion 
systems, power distribution, braking systems, land mobile radio 
testing, train environmental control, and railcar signs. The 
Committee recognizes the importance of developing and deploying 
these technologies to address the state of good repair backlog 
and urges the FRA to continue working with industry to develop 
standardized performance verification, testing, diagnostics, 
and repair for such systems.
    Blocked Crossings.--The Committee urges the FRA to require 
States receiving funding through the railroad safety State 
participation grant program to require first responders to 
report verified blocked crossing incidents to the FRA blocked 
crossing portal. The Committee also directs the FRA to work 
with railroads to collect data on specific blocked crossing 
events, the causes of blocked crossings, and share best 
practices for preventing and reducing the number and duration 
of blocked crossing events. Finally, consistent with fiscal 
year 2024, the Committee directs the FRA to include in the next 
annual public report required under section 22404(j) of the 
IIJA (Public Law 117-58) potential solutions and best practices 
to improve safety, mobility, and emergency response 
capabilities at highway-rail crossings. Recognizing that both 
railroad operational practices and local circumstances lead to 
the occurrence of blocked crossings, the report will be 
informed by the FRA's outreach to stakeholders, including 
railroads, communities, first responders, labor, and State and 
local authorities. The report should include: (1) best 
practices for engaging the railroad with the public, labor, 
police, highway officials and other stakeholders; (2) how 
current and future technology can be used to identify impacted 
high risk or 911-critical locations; (3) what role train length 
plays in blocked crossings; (4) how to mitigate impacts from 
crossing blockage; (5) how to improve mobility for both 
pedestrians and motorists; (6) how to improve community level 
emergency response capabilities; (7) how to identify crossing 
blockage or other mobility constraints at passive crossings 
that are not a part of the national PTC environment; and (8) 
how to incorporate data from the FRA crossing blockage 
reporting website, or other data sources, to ensure effective 
emergency and response plans.
    Confidential Close Call Reporting System [C3RS].--The 
confidential close call reporting system program enables 
railroad employees to report close calls and unsafe events 
without fear of retribution from a railroad or the FRA. The 
Committee acknowledges the FRA's work to grow the program with 
industry, but remains concerned with the low level of 
participation from Class I railroads as only two of the six 
have joined the pilot program. The Committee supports further 
enrollment and provides the requested increase of up to 
$8,000,000 in order to accommodate the additional reporting and 
analysis activities associated with the planned participation 
of the remaining Class I railroads and their employees. The 
Committee directs the FRA to continue to work with railroads on 
ways to improve the C3RS program to expand enrollment and 
provide protections for railroad employees who report close 
calls and unsafe events.
    Hazardous Materials Incident Mitigation.--The NTSB's 
investigation of the East Palestine derailment found a need to 
improve emergency response procedures for unloading damaged 
railroad tank cars in the field. The Committee directs the FRA 
to update and re-publish its 2007 vent and burn reports to 
include clear instructions to consult the shipper when 
considering a vent and burn; more comprehensive guidance on 
what products are candidates for a vent and burn, along with 
what chemicals and other hazards may result from a vent and 
burn; and an updated process flow chart. These reports shall be 
distributed to emergency responder associations.

                   RAILROAD RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $54,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      52,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      54,750,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The railroad research and development program provides 
scientific and engineering support for the FRA's rail safety 
rulemaking and enforcement efforts. The program also identifies 
and develops emerging technologies for voluntary adoption by 
industry and supports intercity passenger rail development by 
providing technical assistance, equipment specifications, and 
proposal evaluations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $54,750,000 
for railroad research and development as authorized under 
section 22102 of the IIJA, which is $2,750,000 more than the 
budget request and $750,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 
enacted level.
    Rolling Stock Equipment and Components [RSEC] Safety, 
Maintenance, and Inspection.--The recommendation includes no 
less than $5,000,000 to continue support for RSEC research in 
order to evaluate, test, and demonstrate the effectiveness and 
efficiency of automated inspection and maintenance equipment 
and procedures. The NTSB's investigation of the East Palestine 
derailment found that more FRA research is necessary to 
determine whether changes to wayside bearing defect detection 
systems, such as lowering alert and alarm thresholds, would 
result in significant safety improvements and to determine 
which operational responses to bearing alerts and alarms are 
sufficient to prevent derailments. Therefore, as part of the 
funding for RSEC research, the FRA shall continue to research 
the effectiveness of current bearing defect detection systems, 
including heat and acoustic; bearing alert and alarm 
thresholds; the distances between wayside detectors; the 
installation, inspection, and maintenance of wayside bearing 
defect detectors; and railroads' operational responses to 
bearing alerts and alarms. The FRA shall make research on these 
topics publicly available. The FRA's research and evaluation 
will inform the capabilities and limitations of existing 
technologies and provide railroads and regulators with 
information on what changes could improve railroad safety. The 
FRA's research is critical for the development of any future 
standards and minimum requirements for commercially available 
systems that could protect railroad personnel and the public.
    Further, the Committee commends the DOT and the FRA for 
taking steps within current authority to improve railroad 
safety, such as tasking the Railroad Safety Advisory Committee 
[RSAC] in 2023 with considering and reviewing issues related to 
wayside detectors. The Committee looks forward to the RSAC's 
recommendations resulting from this review and directs the FRA 
to continue to use the RSAC to inform industry, Congress, and 
the public on additional safety measures that should be taken, 
including regulatory and statutory changes.
    Short Line Safety Institute [SLSI].--The Committee remains 
supportive of the FRA's efforts, in partnership with short line 
and regional railroads, to build a stronger, more sustainable 
safety culture in this segment of the rail industry, and 
includes $2,750,000 for the SLSI. These efforts include safety 
culture assessments, and the provision of hazardous materials 
emergency response training in an effort to improve the safe 
transportation of crude oil and other hazardous materials on 
our Nation's rail network.
    Emissions Reduction and Alternative Fuel Locomotives.--The 
Committee supports research to hasten the commercial viability 
of clean energy and alternative fuels options for use in 
locomotives, including electrification, batteries and other 
energy storage systems, hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, 
biodiesel, renewable diesel, and other forms of alternative 
fuels. The Committee recommendation includes not less than 
$2,500,000 to further the research, development, testing, and 
demonstration of innovative technologies and solutions for 
alternative fuels for locomotives, engine improvements, and 
motive power technologies. The Department is directed to 
coordinate this research in collaboration with the DOE, 
railroads, and rail suppliers, and ensure that any research 
will advance the ongoing efforts of those entities.
    University Rail Research and Development COE.--The 
Committee supports the FRA's intent to use $2,500,000 of the 
resources provided for the rail research and development COE as 
authorized in section 22413 of the IIJA. The COE is intended to 
advance basic and applied research, evaluation, education, 
workforce development, and training efforts related to safety, 
project delivery, efficiency, reliability, resiliency, and 
sustainability of urban commuter, intercity high-speed, and 
freight rail transportation.
    Transportation Technology Center.--The Committee includes 
up to $6,000,000 for the construction, alteration, and repair 
of buildings and improvements at the Transportation Technology 
Center, which is $3,000,000 more than fiscal year 2024 enacted. 
The Committee expects this additional funding to result in 
infrastructure improvements that will modernize the site and 
ensure it can continue to support the valuable rail safety 
research, testing, and training conducted at the facility.

development program authorized under 49 U.S.C. 25101.
    Washington Union Station.--The Committee recommendation 
supports the budget request of $15,000,000 for the repair and 
rehabilitation of Washington Union Station. As the owner of the 
station, the Federal government has a clear role in addressing 
station infrastructure and system needs. The Committee directs 
the FRA to provide a briefing to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of 
this act on the structural challenges and deficiencies at this 
Federal facility and an estimate of the scope of work necessary 
to preserve this historical asset. Further, the DOT and the FRA 
are directed to pursue adding designees from the Commonwealth 
of Virginia and the State of Maryland to the Union Station 
Redevelopment Corporation Board of Directors.

              THE NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $2,427,763,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   2,504,475,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,638,072,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Amtrak operates intercity passenger rail services in 46 
States and the District of Columbia, in addition to serving as 
a contractor in various capacities for several commuter rail 
agencies. Congress created Amtrak in the Rail Passenger Service 
Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-518) in response to private 
carriers' inability to profitably operate intercity passenger 
rail service. Thereafter, Amtrak assumed the common carrier 
obligations of the private railroads in exchange for the right 
to priority access to their tracks for incremental cost.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$2,638,072,000 for Amtrak, which is $133,597,000 more than the 
budget request and $210,309,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 
enacted level. The amount is in addition to the $4,400,000,000 
in advance appropriations made available in the IIJA, which is 
limited to only capital projects to address the state of good 
repair backlog.
    Charter Trains and Private Cars.--Amtrak is directed to 
once again report on the impact of its policies to charter 
trains and private trains in the fiscal year 2026 budget 
request, and to include the amounts and percentages by which 
revenues and usage declined, including separate figures for 
charter trains run with Amtrak-owned and with privately-owned 
cars. Amtrak should also continue to update the list of 
eligible locations for private car moves and continue to 
evaluate such locations going forward. Amtrak should continue 
to strive to improve public outreach and offer its stakeholders 
an opportunity to comment on policies that affect services 
prior to finalizing any such decisions.
    Amtrak Station Agents.--Amtrak is required to provide 
station agents, which include either Amtrak ticket agents or 
caretakers, at all Amtrak stations that had a ticket agent 
position eliminated in fiscal year 2018. Amtrak is again 
directed to communicate and collaborate 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.
    Food and Beverage.--The Committee urges Amtrak to provide 
food and beverage services in a cost effective manner 
consistent with available revenue and Federal funds. The 
Committee directs Amtrak to periodically update the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations on the food and beverage 
offerings, new initiatives, and operating loss, as appropriate.
    Services.--The Committee is concerned with any potential 
offshoring of services contracts and the potential displacement 
of U.S. labor. Amtrak should take the necessary affirmative 
steps to ensure the contracts for customer, professional, and 
IT services, including such subsidiary services, be performed 
within the United States.
    Lactation Accommodations.--The Committee recognizes 
Amtrak's work to implement lactation accommodations for nursing 
employees and customers, and encourages Amtrak to consider the 
continued expansion of such accommodations on board its trains 
and stations. Amtrak is directed to report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations within 180 days of this act 
with an assessment on the feasibility and demand for lactation 
spaces or other accommodations on board its trains or in 
stations, as well as cost estimates for the design and 
installation of such spaces or accommodations and if there are 
low-cost alternatives.

     NORTHEAST CORRIDOR GRANTS TO THE NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER 
                              CORPORATION

    The Committee recommends $1,020,974,000 for northeast 
corridor grants to Amtrak. The funding level provided includes 
$5,000,000 for the Northeast Corridor Commission established 
under 49 U.S.C. 24905 which is in addition to the $5,000,000 in 
advance appropriations made available for the Northeast 
Corridor Commission in the IIJA.

 NATIONAL NETWORK GRANTS TO THE NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION

    The Committee recommends $1,617,098,000 for national 
network grants to Amtrak. The funding level provided includes 
$3,000,000 for the State-Supported Route Committee established 
in the FAST Act (Public Law 114-94), which is in addition to 
the $3,000,000 made available in advance appropriations in the 
IIJA.
    National Network Services.--Amtrak's long-distance routes 
provide much needed transportation access in hundreds of 
communities and for rural areas where mobility options are 
limited. Equally important are routes that provide service to 
rural areas from urban areas along the northeast corridor. The 
Committee does not support proposals that will inevitably lead 
to long-term or permanent service cuts or segmentation of 
routes, which will result in less service for rural 
communities.
    Corridor Identification and Development Program [CIDP].--
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 25101, the FRA established the CIDP in 
May 2023 to facilitate the development of intercity passenger 
rail corridors across the Nation, including passenger rail 
services as defined under 49 U.S.C. 26106(b)(4). To facilitate 
this effort, the Committee recommendation includes up to 
$66,000,000 for Amtrak to carryout activities for corridors 
selected under CIDP, as authorized under section 22101(h) of 
Public Law 117-58.
    Modernization Projects.--The Committee acknowledges 
Amtrak's request for additional modernization projects above 
its base operating needs. Of the amount provided for the 
National Network, $10,000,000 is for the Atlanta hub initiative 
for a new intercity passenger rail hub and $20,000,000 is for 
the Pacific Northwest rail improvements initiative for 
infrastructure, station, and facility improvements across the 
region as proposed in Amtrak's fiscal year 2025 legislative and 
grant request.
    Midwest Rail Commission Study.--The Committee directs the 
DOT and the FRA, in coordination with Amtrak, to study and 
provide recommendations on any Federal resources, including 
staff and funding, necessary to establish a federally 
authorized commission for the purposes of developing a long-
term delivery strategy for Midwest rail, including identifying 
projects in need of prioritization. The study should include 
recommendations on how to most appropriately establish a 
Federal entity, including where the Commission would ideally be 
housed. The findings and recommendations shall be provided to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 6 
months of enactment of this act.

       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS-FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    Section 150 allows the FRA to transfer certain amounts made 
available in this and prior acts to the financial assistance 
oversight and technical assistance account to support the 
award, administration, project management oversight, and 
technical assistance of grants administered by the FRA, with an 
exception.
    Section 151 limits overtime payments to employees at Amtrak 
to $35,000 per employee. However, Amtrak's President may waive 
this restriction for specific employees for safety or 
operational efficiency reasons.
    Section 152 prohibits the use of funds made available by 
this act by Amtrak in contravention of the Worker Adjustment 
and Retraining Notification Act.
    Section 153 permits the Union Station Redevelopment 
Corporation to be an eligible recipient for the FSP program.
    Section 154 expresses the sense of Congress in support of 
Amtrak's long-distance passenger routes.

                     Federal Transit Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal Transit Administration [FTA] was established as 
a component of the Department of Transportation by 
Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1968, effective July 1, 1968, 
which transferred most of the functions and programs under the 
Federal Transit Act of 1964, as amended (78 Stat. 302; 49 
U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), from the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development. The missions of the FTA are: to help develop 
improved mass transportation systems and practices; to support 
the inclusion of public transportation in community and 
regional planning to support economic development; to provide 
mobility for Americans who depend on transit for transportation 
in both metropolitan and rural areas; to maximize the 
productivity and efficiency of transportation systems; and, to 
provide assistance to State and local governments and agencies 
in financing such services and systems.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    Under the Committee recommendations, a total program level 
of $17,044,661,000 is provided for FTA programs in fiscal year 
2025. The recommendation is $242,136,000 more than the budget 
request and $440,752,111 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
level. This amount is in addition to the $4,250,000,000 in 
advance appropriations in the IIJA for fiscal year 2025.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Communities use formula grants funds for bus and railcar 
purchases, facility repair and construction, maintenance, and 
where eligible, planning and operating expenses. The formula 
grants account includes funding for the following programs: 
transit-oriented development; planning programs; urbanized area 
formula grants; enhanced mobility for seniors and individuals 
with disabilities; a pilot program for enhanced mobility; 
formula grants for rural areas; public transportation 
innovation; technical assistance and workforce development, 
including a national transit institute; a bus testing facility; 
the national transit database; state of good repair grants; 
buses and bus facilities formulas grants; and growing States 
and high-density States formula grants. Set-asides from formula 
funds are directed to a grant program for each State with rail 
systems not regulated by the FRA to meet the requirements for a 
State safety oversight program. The account also provides 
funding to support passenger ferry services and public 
transportation on Indian reservations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends limiting obligations and the 
liquidation of contract authorizations in the transit formula 
and bus grants account in fiscal year 2025 to $14,279,000,000. 
The recommendation is equal to the budget request and 
$289,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. The 
level of funding provided supports the increased staffing 
resources as requested for a total of 558 FTE.
    Ferry Fleet Transition Plans.--The Committee directs the 
Department to consider ferry fleet transition plans as eligible 
under the planning programs in 49 U.S.C. 5305, the urbanized 
area formula program (49 U.S.C. 5307) and rural area formula 
program (49 U.S.C. 5311).
    Bus-to-Person Collisions.--The Committee commends the FTA 
for its efforts to encourage the adoption of mitigation 
strategies that reduce bus-to-person collisions, including the 
issuance of FTA Safety Advisory 23-1. As such, the Committee 
expects the FTA to encourage transit agencies to adopt proven 
on-board technology solutions to detect, deter, and avoid 
collisions through program guidance and NOFOs, where 
permissible and feasible.
    Roadway Worker Protections.--The Committee is concerned 
about the safety of transit employees working on or near 
transit rail tracks. Proven roadway worker protection [RWP] 
technologies exist that provide advanced train approach 
warnings and have the potential to improve the safety and 
efficiency of rail operations. The Committee encourages the FTA 
to promote the maximum level of RWP safety, to the extent 
permissible under current law, and notes the agency's notice of 
proposed rulemaking for minimum safety standards issued March 
25, 2024 taking affirmative actions on this important workplace 
safety measure.
    Hydrogen Bus Technology.--The Committee recognizes the 
potential of hydrogen fuel cell technology for zero emission 
transit. The Committee directs the FTA, in partnership with 
relevant stakeholders, including non-profit organizations with 
experience in researching and deploying hydrogen technology, to 
provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of this act on 
hydrogen fuel cell technology in public transit. The report 
should include the challenges to further expansion of the 
technology pertaining to operations and maintenance, as well as 
a historical review of the quantity of applications and awards 
under the low-no emission grant program that include hydrogen 
fuel cell technology.
    Updates to the FTA's Best Practices Procurement and Lessons 
Learned Manual.--The FTA is directed to update its best 
practices procurement manual within 180 days of enactment and 
to the greatest extent practicable incorporate recommendations 
submitted to the agency by industry stakeholders for 
consideration.

                     TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $252,386,844
Budget estimate, 2025...................................................
Committee recommendation................................     345,661,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Committee provides funding for transit infrastructure 
grants to address targeted capital, operating, and state of 
good repair needs for public transportation providers and 
services across America.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $345,661,000 in transit 
infrastructure grants to remain available until expended, which 
is $93,274,156 more than fiscal year 2024 enacted level and 
$345,661,000 more than the budget request. An additional 
$187,431,586 is repurposed from prior year activities for 
similar activities under currently authorized programs for a 
total of $533,092,586 in budget authority. Of this total, 
$66,161,000 is for CDS.
    Transit Vehicle Innovation Deployment Centers [TVIDC].--The 
Committee supports the continued use of FTA's TVIDC program to 
develop solutions to the challenges transit operators and bus 
original equipment manufacturers face as they move to full 
scale adoption of zero-emission transit technologies. The 
Committee directs the FTA to utilize the TVIDC program to focus 
research on efficiency improvements, including more efficient 
HVAC systems, safer and more efficient drive and brake-by-wire 
systems, integrated cooling systems, improved electric drive 
technologies, and increasing understanding and skill sets 
within transit agencies in regards to planning, procuring, and 
deploying zero-emission buses [ZEB] using TVIDC's industry-wide 
coordination structure for the development and testing of ZEB 
components and vehicles.
    Cost Escalations.--The Committee recognizes that cost 
escalations can reduce the impact of prior transit grant 
awards. The Committee encourages the FTA to work with grantees 
when cost adjustments or other factors impacting the completion 
of projects become necessary to address.
    Critical Components.--The Committee encourages the FTA to 
work with the Made in America Office within OMB to utilize all 
available authorities to ensure critical components of ferry 
vessels acquired with FTA funds are not excluded as a result of 
49 U.S.C. 5323(j). Critical components include items vital to 
relatability, safety, and performance, such as propulsion 
systems. The Committee continues to urge the Department to 
continue to harmonize the regulatory regimes across modes, 
utilizing existing authorities, to ensure Buy America 
provisions for ferry construction are transparent and deliver 
the best vessel for riders and the taxpayer.
    Olympic and Paralympic Games.--The Committee notes that, 
for the two prior Olympic Games in the United States, Salt Lake 
City, Utah in 2002 and Atlanta, Georgia in 1996, a program was 
established under which public transit agencies throughout the 
United States donated or leased buses (and in some instances 
provided bus operators) to the host public transportation 
agencies and the host city Olympic committee. To build on that 
model and replicate those successes, the Committee directs the 
Secretary and the Administration to assist in the 
implementation of a similar bus leasing program for the cities 
hosting events in support of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic 
Games. To that end, the Committee recommendation includes 
$200,000,000 to support the planning, development, and 
operations of a supplemental bus system; regional traffic 
surveillance and management systems; and identification and 
deployment of dedicated bus lanes for the games route network.

                   TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND TRAINING

    The FTA is authorized to provide technical assistance, 
workforce development programs, and training to the public 
transportation industry under section 5314 of title 49. Funding 
under this heading is supplemental to the funding provided 
under the heading ``Transit Formula Grants'' as authorized by 
the IIJA.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total of $8,000,000 for 
technical assistance and training, which is equal to the budget 
request and $500,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
level. The Committee recognizes the need among transit 
providers serving small cities, rural areas, and disadvantaged 
communities for technical assistance to help them take 
advantage of new technologies, including ride-hailing 
applications, autonomous shuttles, and micro-transit 
innovations that are transforming how Americans use public 
transportation. This funding will provide rural and small city 
transit operators with hands-on technical assistance that will 
facilitate the adoption of these new tools.
    Cooperative Agreements.--The Committee includes $1,500,000 
for a cooperative agreement with a technical assistance center 
to assist small urban, rural, and Tribal public transit 
recipients and planning organizations with applied innovation 
and capacity building that helps these grantees and sub-
recipients successfully incorporate more low- and zero-emission 
transit vehicles in their fleets, develop effective post-
pandemic transit service strategies and configurations, 
establish responsive and equitable forms of transit in 
historically underserved areas, and assist areas with changing 
mode-share strategies. The Committee recommendation also 
includes $2,500,000 for a cooperative agreement to a national 
non-profit organization with a demonstrated capacity to develop 
and provide workforce development and standards based training 
in maintenance and operations within the public transportation 
industry.

                       CAPITAL INVESTMENT GRANTS

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Under the capital investment grants [CIG] program, the FTA 
provides grants to fund the building of new fixed guideway 
systems or extensions and improvements to existing fixed 
guideway systems. Eligible services include light rail, rapid 
rail (heavy rail), commuter rail, and bus rapid transit. The 
program includes funding for four categories of eligible 
projects authorized under 49 U.S.C. 5309, and section 3005(b) 
of the FAST Act (Public Law 114-94): new starts, small starts, 
core capacity, and the expedited project delivery pilot 
program.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $2,262,000,000 for capital 
investment grants, which is $57,000,000 more than the fiscal 
year 2024 enacted level, and $103,525,000 less than the budget 
request.
    Project Management Oversight [PMO] Activities.--The 
Committee directs the FTA to continue to submit to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations the quarterly PMO 
reports for each project with a full funding grant agreement.
    Full Funding Grant Agreements [FFGAs].--Section 5309(k) of 
title 49, United States Code, requires that the 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 before executing a FFGA. In its notification to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations, the Committee directs 
the FTA to submit the following information: (1) a copy of the 
proposed FFGA; (2) the total and annual Federal appropriations 
required for the project; (3) the yearly and total Federal 
appropriations that can be planned or anticipated for existing 
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 sponsor's 
ability to finance the project, which shall be conducted by an 
independent examiner and which shall include an assessment of 
the capital cost estimate and finance plan; (6) the source and 
security of all public and private sector financing; (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 also directs the FTA to inform the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations in writing 30 days before 
approving schedule, scope, or budget changes to any FFGA. 
Correspondence relating to all 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 procurement.
    The Committee directs the FTA to continue to provide a 
monthly capital investment grant program update to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations, detailing the status 
of each project. This update should include anticipated 
milestone schedules for advancing projects, especially those 
within 2 years of a proposed FFGA. It should also highlight and 
explain any potential cost and schedule changes affecting 
projects.
    Annual Report on Funding Recommendations.--The Committee 
directs the Secretary to submit the fiscal year 2026 annual 
report on funding recommendations required by 49 U.S.C. 
5309(o), and directs the Secretary to maintain the Federal 
Government funding commitments for all existing grant 
agreements and identify all projects with a medium or higher 
rating that anticipate requesting a grant agreement in fiscal 
year 2025.
    New Transportation Projects in Low-Growth Areas.--The 
Committee encourages the FTA to prioritize projects that 
connect communities unserved or underserved by transit to 
employment centers and projects that support economic growth in 
disadvantaged areas.
    New Starts.--The Committee urges the FTA to proceed 
expeditiously while reviewing revised new start project 
applications for projects previously recommended for funding in 
more than one FTA Annual Report on Funding Recommendations.

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

    Accountability.--The Committee is fully supportive of the 
USMMA's mission, but remains concerned with MARAD and DOT's 
capacity to address the findings and recommendations of the 
National Academy of Public Administration [NAPA] November 2021 
Organizational Assessment of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy: 
A Path Forward report. According to the report, MARAD must 
``address longstanding issues that put the safety and health of 
the midshipmen and the entire USMMA community in peril''. The 
USMMA has to overcome decades of ``fundamental weaknesses in 
internal and external governance systems and processes that 
endanger the USMMA's ability to fulfill its mission today and 
into the future''. Fulfilling that mission requires a clear 
understanding of the needs of the agency and the USMMA, having 
assurances of effective oversight and management of existing 
resources, and a vision and comprehensive plan for timely 
execution of capital and maintenance projects. To that end, 
while the recommendation fully funds the budget request for 
staffing, capital, and maintenance activities, the long-awaited 
report to Congress on the status of the implementation of the 
2021 NAPA recommendations lacks an appropriate level of detail 
in the agency's ``action items to implement'' that would 
properly outline an effective recovery strategy and cultural 
evolution of the USMMA. If additional resources are necessary 
to execute specific recommendations, the Department should 
specify what the staffing or contract needs are, how those 
needs align with the recommendation(s), and what results the 
investment will achieve. The Committee looks forward to a 
continued dialogue on these needs in order to optimize the 
success of the Department in transforming the campus facilities 
and the students' overall academic experience.
    Staffing.--The Committee continues to direct MARAD to 
provide the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with 
quarterly staffing updates, including on hiring and 
separations, by program office for all positions funded by this 
act in MARAD headquarters operations and USMMA operations.
    USMMA Capital Improvements.--The Committee's recommendation 
includes $64,000,000 for the USMMA's capital improvement 
program [CIP], which combined with the $96,000,000 in available 
unobligated prior year funding will provide a total of 
$160,000,000 for CIP projects in fiscal year 2025. The 
Committee appreciates MARAD's submission of the required fiscal 
year 2023 capital improvement plan and recognizes the new sense 
of urgency among senior leadership to make progress on CIP 
projects. An up-to-date annual CIP report is critical to 
providing safe learning and living environments for students, 
and for utilizing the resources provided for the USMMA CIP 
under this heading in this and prior fiscal years. However, the 
Committee continues to be deeply concerned by the condition of 
the USMMA's facilities, which has a direct impact on the 
quality of the education provided to students and the ability 
to attract new entrants to serve as future leaders in the 
United States Merchant Marine. At the time of the submission of 
the 2023 CIP report, the USMMA had sufficient resources to 
address all near-term active projects identified in the plan, 
which included Samuels Hall renovation, lower Roosevelt field, 
gate access controls upgrades, Fulton/Gibbs complex renovation, 
Crowninshield pier demolition, campus fiber optic upgrades, and 
gate access control phase II, as well as the long-term 
facilities master plan, repair and replacement of the storm 
water management system, and seawall repairs. The additional 
capital funding provided by the Committee in fiscal year 2025 
will support work on projects identified in the budget request, 
such as the renovation of barracks, Wiley Hall, and Delano 
Hall. The Committee reiterates the expectation that MARAD 
aggressively pursue facility modernization efforts. With the 
upcoming Middle States Commission on Higher Education review of 
the institutional accreditation in the spring of 2025, DOT, 
MARAD, and the USMMA shall ensure the facilities provide 
suitable and safe learning environments to maintain 
accreditation of the school and its programs.
    Further, the USMMA, MARAD, and the Department shall 
continue to provide quarterly briefings to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the status of all short- and 
long-term capital improvement projects and continue to provide 
the annual report in the same manner and context as in previous 
fiscal years. The Committee is pleased that MARAD is now 
preparing for the next round of dormitory renovations to 
provide safe and quality living conditions for students. The 
Committee appreciates MARAD making the annual CIP report 
publicly available and strongly encourages the USMMA to 
maintain current information on CIP projects and any major 
repair activities on its website to expand the availability of 
this information to students and external stakeholders, such as 
the alumni foundation that also provides support to USMMA 
projects. It is disappointing that despite directives on this 
matter in prior years, the USMMA's facilities campus 
construction web page has not been updated since February 2020.
    Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment [SASH] at the USMMA.--
Creating a culture of respect and dignity for cadets and 
faculty is essential to reducing student vulnerability to SASH, 
and every student deserves to seek and pursue an education and 
a future workplace free from unwanted sexual aggression. The 
Committee commends students who have bravely come forward to 
publicly report allegations of SASH in an effort to hold 
perpetrators accountable and prevent future violations.
    On May 30, 2024, Congress received the SASH report from the 
2022-2023 academic year that disclosed a total of 31 incidents 
reported, an increase from 21 reports in the previous 2021-2022 
academic year. While the survey results are within the range of 
the other service academies, one incident is too many and 
concerted efforts to prevent and prosecute these crimes need to 
be sustained. The Committee acknowledges MARAD and the USMMA 
have made meaningful steps to improving safety for USMMA 
midshipmen, but it remains a work in progress to sustain 
staffing for the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and 
Response [SAPRO], to secure broader industry participation in 
the every mariner builds a respectful culture [EMBARC] program, 
and to improve access to mental health and counseling services.
    Vessel Generated Underwater Noise.--MARAD shall use not 
less than $1,500,000 of the funds provided under the META 
program to collect data and further investigate vessel 
generated underwater noise. When selecting projects, the 
Committee directs MARAD to strongly consider projects led by 
regional coalitions that conduct research, mitigation, and 
management activities to reduce vessel-generated underwater 
noise on the maritime environment, including large commercial 
vessels impacting Endangered Species Act-listed whales.

    National Security Multi-Mission Vessel [NSMV] Program.--The 
Committee recommendation for the NSMV program includes 
$15,000,000 for operations and integration requirements; 
$1,700,000 for MARAD salaries and expenses; $41,000,000 for 
oversight and management; and $75,000,000 for shore side 
infrastructure improvements at the SMAs. Consistent with 
previous fiscal year, shore-side infrastructure shall only 
include NSMV-specific improvements required by MARAD to safely 
moor the vessels and other improvements that are necessary for 
SMAs to receive the NSMVs. Specifically, shore-side 
infrastructure shall include pier construction and upgrades 
directly related to the mooring of the vessel, but not for 
general maintenance that would otherwise be necessary absent 
receiving an NSMV, and is inclusive of associated utility 
upgrades directly related to mooring and operating the vessel, 
including, but not limited to, electricity and steam. The 
Committee directs MARAD to implement a non-Federal cost share 
of 20 percent for shore-side infrastructure improvements. In 
the event that there are extenuating circumstances that an SMA 
is unable to meet the 20 percent non-Federal cost-share 
requirement, MARAD may determine whether a different non-
Federal cost-share requirement is appropriate, necessary, and 
executable. In addition, the Committee directs MARAD to 
sequence the funding distributed to SMAs for shore-side 
infrastructure improvements based on the vessel delivery 
schedule. Further, MARAD shall notify the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations prior to obligating any funds for 
shore-side infrastructure improvements, and such notification 
shall include the amount of funding provided by non-Federal 
sources for such infrastructure.
    The Committee also continues to direct MARAD to conduct 
vigorous oversight of the vessel construction manager, as well 
as the shipyard, to ensure the NSMVs are delivered on budget 
and on time. MARAD is directed to continue to provide briefings 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the 
status of the NSMV program on a quarterly basis, including 
detailed reporting on the SMAs' shore-side infrastructure 
improvements needed to ensure successful berthing and operation 
of the NSMVs, and to provide immediate notification of any 
risks to the construction schedule or cost. The Committee 
appreciates MARAD's initiative and promptness in providing the 
required quarterly NSMV briefings.

export vessels constructed, reconstructed, or reconditioned in 
U.S. shipyards; and (2) U.S. shipyards, for the purpose of 
financing advanced shipbuilding technology of privately owned 
general shipyard facilities located in the United States. Under 
the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), 
appropriations to cover the estimated costs of a project must 
be obtained prior to the issuance of any approvals for title XI 
financing.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee provides an appropriation of $3,000,000 for 
administrative expenses of the maritime guaranteed loan title 
XI program and $2,000,000 for subsidy. This level of funding is 
$2,000,000 more than the budget request and $48,586,000 less 
than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level.

                PORT INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

authorized in 46 U.S.C. 50302 to provide grants for the 
improvement of port facilities.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $200,000,000 for the 
PIDP, which is $79,539,876 more than the enacted level and 
$120,000,000 more than the budget request.
    Set Asides.--The Committee directs MARAD to set aside 25 
percent of the funds for small inland river and coastal ports 
and terminals, as required by 46 U.S.C. 54301. The 
recommendation directs MARAD to allow Federal cost shares above 
80 percent for projects in rural areas, as permitted by 46 
U.S.C. 54301.

           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


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

                       HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SAFETY

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $74,556,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      86,586,000
Committee recommendation................................      86,586,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    PHMSA oversees the safety of more than one million 
hazardous materials shipments daily within the United States, 
using risk management principles and security threat 
assessments in order to fully review and reduce the risks 
inherent in hazardous materials transportation.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $86,586,000 
for hazardous materials safety, which is equal to the budget 
request and $12,030,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
level. The Committee recommendation includes $1,000,000 for the 
assistance for local emergency response training [ALERT] 
grants. The Committee directs PHMSA to prioritize ALERT grants 
for training in rural areas. The Committee recommendation also 
includes $4,000,000 for community safety grants.
    East Palestine, Ohio.--The NTSB's investigation of the East 
Palestine derailment found that the vulnerability of tank car 
placards to fire exposure resulted in illegible placards and 
hampered emergency responders' efforts to identify hazards. The 
Committee directs PHMSA to issue the necessary regulations to 
require placards to be able to survive fires and accidents and 
remain legible during emergencies long enough to fulfill their 
functions as described in the emergency response guidebook.
    The NTSB also found that the post-derailment fire likely 
began because of hazardous materials released from a punctured 
DOT-111 tank car. It has been over 10 years since the Lac-
Megantic rail accident in 2013, which destroyed an entire town 
near the Maine border, and which led to Congress mandating the 
gradual phase out of DOT-111s. However, the phase out will not 
be completed until 2029, nearly 16 years after the Lac-Megantic 
rail accident. The NTSB believes that the leak and explosion in 
the East Palestine rail accident could have been entirely 
avoided if DOT-111s had been fully phased out. Therefore, the 
Committee strongly urges PHMSA to work with the relevant 
authorizing committees in Congress to accelerate this phase-
out.
    The NTSB's East Palestine investigation also found the need 
to revise the definition of a ``high-hazard flammable train.'' 
The Committee notes that PHMSA has already issued a notice of 
proposed rulemaking on enhancing the safety for high-hazard 
trains. The Committee directs PHMSA to ensure this rulemaking 
revises the definition of a ``high-hazard flammable train'' and 
adopts operational controls to improve the safe movement of 
trains carrying all types of hazardous materials, not just 
flammable liquids.
    Finally, the NTSB recommended that PHMSA distribute the 
FRA's most current guidance on the vent and burn methods to 
emergency response agencies by referencing it in the next 
edition of the emergency response guidebook, and the Committee 
directs PHMSA to do so expeditiously.

                         (PIPELINE SAFETY FUND)

                    (OIL SPILL LIABILITY TRUST FUND)

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $218,186,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     234,580,000
Committee recommendation................................     234,580,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of Pipeline Safety [OPS] promotes the safe, 
reliable, and sound transportation of natural gas and hazardous 
liquids through the Nation's more than 2.6 million miles of 
privately-owned and operated pipeline.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $234,580,000 for the 
OPS. The amount is $16,394,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 
enacted level and equal to the budget request. Of this amount, 
$101,856,000 is for operations, $30,166,000 is for programs, 
$14,000,000 is for research and development, and $88,558,000 is 
for grants.
    Liquefied Natural Gas [LNG] COE.--The Committee remains 
concerned that PHMSA has not located the national COE for LNG 
Safety that was authorized, nearly 4 years ago, under section 
111 of the Protecting Our Infrastructure of Pipelines and 
Enhancing Safety Act of 2020 [PIPES] Act. PHMSA's report to 
Congress detailing the resources necessary to establish the COE 
was provided nearly 2 years ago. In response to that report, 
the Committee provided $8,400,000 in fiscal year 2023 for this 
purpose, but the COE has yet to be established. The Committee 
directs PHMSA to work expeditiously to establish the COE for 
LNG Safety in accordance with the criteria outlined in the 
PIPES Act.
    Hydrogen Pipeline Leak Detection and Monitoring.--With the 
significant Federal investment and policies to incentivize the 
development of hydrogen pipelines, it is important for PHMSA to 
have appropriate hydrogen gas pipeline-specific provisions in 
regulations to ensure such pipelines operate safely and to 
protect the environment (as required under 49 U.S.C. 60102(b)). 
The Committee directs PHMSA to promulgate a rulemaking to 
ensure that hydrogen infrastructure is designed or modified to 
operate safely and to protect the environment, with minimal 
leaks, and by leveraging all possible learning from methane 
leak detection, monitoring, and prevention Federal programs and 
efforts.

                     EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS GRANTS

                      (LIMITATION ON OBLIGATIONS)

                     (EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FUND)

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $46,825,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................................
Committee recommendation................................      46,825,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act 
of 1990 (Public Law 101-615) requires PHMSA to: (1) develop and 
implement a reimbursable emergency preparedness grant program; 
(2) monitor public sector emergency response training and 
planning, and provide technical assistance to States, political 
subdivisions, and Indian Tribes; and (3) develop and 
periodically update a mandatory training curriculum for 
emergency responders.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $46,825,000 for emergency 
preparedness grants. The recommendation continues to provide 
PHMSA the authority to use prior year carryover and recaptures 
for the development of Web-based, off-the-shelf training 
materials that can be used by emergency responders across the 
country. The Committee encourages 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. The Committee also 
encourages PHMSA to train public sector emergency response 
personnel in communities on or near rail lines, which transport 
a significant volume of high-risk energy commodities or toxic 
inhalation hazards.
    The Committee directs PHMSA to include recommendations for 
the development of courses necessary for public sector 
employees to be able to respond safely and efficiently to an 
accident or incident involving the transportation of hazardous 
material and to provide such training for virtual learning and 
any courses for which the Secretary has recommended adaptation 
to provide virtual options, subject to the condition that the 
Secretary ensures that the virtual options recommended will 
provide an equivalent level of training as in-person courses.

                                TITLE II

              DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

                     Management and Administration

    The Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD] was 
established by the Housing and Urban Development Act (Public 
Law 89-174), effective November 9, 1965. This Department is the 
principal Federal agency responsible for programs concerned 
with the Nation's housing needs, fair housing opportunities, 
and improving and developing communities.
    Child Care.--The Committee recognizes that both housing and 
child care present significant challenges for families, 
businesses, and the economy. The Department is directed to work 
with affordable housing and child care stakeholders to support 
innovative approaches that coordinate housing and child care 
support to address both needs and is encouraged to prioritize 
applications for Department funding that show promise in those 
efforts, where appropriate.
    Insurance Costs.--The Committee directs the Secretary of 
HUD to coordinate with the Director of the Federal Insurance 
Office to complete a report on the current state of the 
property insurance market with an emphasis on affordable 
housing properties that are rent-restricted or rent-assisted. 
This should include, but not be limited to, properties 
developed through the use of the low-income housing tax credit 
and other applicable state-level affordable housing tax 
credits, public housing that is not self-insured, or properties 
participating in any Federal housing assistance program. The 
Secretary should make all existing data available, to the 
extent possible, to the Director and coordinate to provide an 
analysis on the potential impact that increasing insurance 
premiums may have on: (1) the supply of new affordable housing, 
and (2) the financial sustainment of existing affordable 
housing. The Secretary should also assess the implications of 
rising insurance costs on program operations, such as housing 
authorities' levels of reserves, and conduct outreach to 
property owners to solicit qualitative feedback on how rising 
insurance costs affect their ability to effectively meet the 
goal of providing affordable housing. The Secretary should 
also, to the extent possible, provide an analysis and 
prediction on the potential effects of increased insurance 
premiums on Federal section 8 housing choice voucher and 
project-based rental assistance housing, including properties 
that have undergone or are undergoing conversion through the 
rental assistance demonstration [RAD]. In carrying out this 
effort, the Secretary should coordinate with the Director to 
obtain data and analysis required for this work to prevent 
duplication of effort, complete the report within 2 years of 
the date of enactment of this act, and update the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations on the status of the report 
every 6 months.
    Environmental Review.--The Committee directs the Department 
to work across its program offices, the White House Council on 
Environmental Quality, the Advisory Council on Historic 
Preservation, and other stakeholders to improve processes for 
environmental review with the goal of lowering the cost of 
reviews, streamlining review procedures, reducing duplication, 
and accelerating new housing construction. As part of the 
review, the Department is directed to consider options for 
streamlining environmental reviews for office-to-residential 
conversions, including the feasibility of a categorical 
exclusion within defined parameters, targeted technical 
assistance, and new toolkits, and to brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on these efforts within 270 days 
of enactment of this act.
    Rent Reporting.--As many as 64 million Americans have 
limited or no credit history, which impacts their ability to 
purchase a first home, which apartments they can rent, and 
where they work. Multiple studies have demonstrated that rent 
reporting can lead to increases in credit scores and 
scorability. The Committee encourages the Department to support 
and promote training and technical assistance opportunities and 
resources, either through HUD or provided by other Federal, 
state, and non-profit partners, for public housing authorities, 
Tribally designated housing entities, and private owners of 
affordable housing on how to move forward with rent reporting. 
To the greatest extent possible, the Committee encourages the 
Department to partner with one or more organizations 
specialized in rent reporting and make educational or training 
materials publicly available on the HUD exchange website.
    Connections to Other Federal, State, and Local Services.--
The Committee recognizes that HUD's mission includes ``creating 
strong, sustainable, inclusive communities'' and utilizing 
``housing as a platform for improving quality of life.'' In 
furtherance of that mission, and recognizing the fact that the 
Department has a special position in working closely through 
its grantees with much of the country's low-income population, 
the Committee directs HUD to provide technical assistance to 
increase the knowledge and capacity of HUD grantees to connect 
program participants to other government services and civic 
engagement opportunities, where appropriate.
    Buy America.--The Committee appreciates the Department's 
actions to implement Build America, Buy America [BABA] 
requirements to ensure Federal housing funds are supporting 
American industry and jobs, but also recognizes that certain 
components may be difficult to source domestically or add 
excessive costs. An effective BABA waiver request process is 
needed to appropriately balance BABA requirements with 
preventing unnecessary delays and costs in affordable housing 
development. The Committee directs the Department to ensure 
BABA waiver requests can be appropriately evaluated and 
processed in a timely manner, to brief the Committee on its 
plans to do so within 90 days of enactment of this act, and to 
report on processing times for BABA waiver requests within 180 
days of enactment of this act.
    Congressionally Directed Reports and Briefings.--The 
Committee notes that it has worked with the Department over the 
last 2 years to reduce reporting burdens by reconciling 
outdated and outstanding reports, supporting the Department's 
efforts to move to a consolidated report tracking system, 
eliminating outdated reporting requirements, and modifying 
reporting requirements to briefings, where appropriate. 
However, the Committee is concerned that the Department 
continues to miss deadlines for reports and has failed to 
provide required briefings. The Committee directs the 
Department to brief the House and Senate Committees within 60 
days of enactment of this act on how responsibilities for 
report and briefings are assigned, how such accountability is 
integrated into program office and employee performance 
expectations, and how HUD senior leadership maintains 
visibility on its overall performance on such directives.
    GAO Priority Recommendations.--As of May 2024, HUD had 92 
open GAO recommendations, of which 11 are considered priority 
recommendations in areas including, but not limited to, 
disaster recovery, homelessness, cybersecurity and information 
technology. The Committee notes that HUD has substantially 
improved its implementation rate of GAO recommendations since 
2021, and the Committee urges the Department to build on this 
progress. The Committee directs HUD to report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment 
of this act on all priority recommendations, the steps taken in 
fiscal year 2024 to implement those recommendations, and what 
additional actions will be undertaken in fiscal year 2025 to 
address outstanding recommendations.
    Rural Areas.--The Committee urges the Department to enhance 
its efforts to provide decent, affordable housing and to 
promote economic development for Americans living in rural 
areas. When designing programs and making funding decisions, 
the Secretary shall take into consideration the unique 
conditions, challenges, and scale of rural areas.
    Appropriations Attorneys.--For fiscal year 2025, the 
Committee continues to fund appropriations attorneys in the 
Office of the Chief Financial Officer [OCFO], directs HUD to 
refer all appropriations law issues to such attorneys within 
the OCFO, and urges the Department to ensure the office has 
adequate personnel and non-personnel resources to fulfill their 
responsibilities, including training HUD staff in funds control 
procedures and directives, as required by section 215 of this 
act.
    Voting-related Activities.--The Committee notes that the 
Department has not yet provided the briefing required under 
this heading in Senate Report 118-70. As such, the Committee 
directs the Secretary to brief the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations, within 30 days after enactment of this act, 
regarding any strategic plans developed by the Department over 
the prior three fiscal years outlining ways for the Department 
to promote voter registration and voter participation.

                           EXECUTIVE OFFICES

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $19,400,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      20,500,000
Committee recommendation................................      20,400,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Executive Offices account provides the salaries and 
expenses funding to support the Department's senior leadership 
and other key functions, including the immediate offices of the 
Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Congressional and 
Intergovernmental Relations, Public Affairs, Adjudicatory 
Services, the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, 
and the Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $20,400,000 
for this account, which is $1,000,000 more than the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level and $100,000 less than the budget request. 
Of the amounts provided, not less than $610,000 shall be 
allocated to the Office of Gender-Based Violence Prevention 
[GBVP]. The Committee directs the Department to prioritize 
addressing the staffing gaps for the GBVP and Disaster 
Management Division offices in fiscal year 2025.
    Violence Against Women Act.--For several years, the 
Committee has directed HUD to address shortcomings in the 
Department's implementation and oversight of the housing 
protection requirements for survivors of domestic violence or 
sexual assault in HUD-assisted properties. The Committee 
acknowledges the work the Department has done over the past 
year to provide increased technical assistance and training to 
housing providers, to staff the GBVP office, and to begin 
monitoring efforts. The Department has yet to brief the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on agency progress on 
collecting data on the use and timeliness of emergency 
transfers established by the Violence Against Women 
Reauthorization Act of 2013 (Public Law 113-4) and on 
implementing the 2022 reauthorization (division W of Public Law 
117-103) as required by Senate Report 118-70. The Department is 
directed to provide this briefing by September 30, 2024, and to 
additionally include as part of this briefing the Department's 
action plan to close all 10 recommendations made in the GAO-24-
106481 report that was conducted at the direction of this 
Committee, including target timeframes for major milestones and 
how the Department intends to resource that action plan. The 
Committee also directs HUD to allocate adequate funding to 
support at least four staff for the GBVP office in fiscal year 
2025.
    Affordable Housing Program Alignment.--As noted in the 
front matter of this report, the Committee remains committed to 
reducing duplicative inspections and other conflicts and 
fragmentation between Federal programs that are commonly 
layered together to build affordable housing. Making continued 
progress on these efforts requires consistent attention, 
strategic prioritization and leadership. The Committee directs 
HUD to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
within 60 days of enactment of this act on the Department's top 
priority alignment actions for fiscal year 2025 and 2026, 
target milestones, and how the Department intends to track 
progress and facilitate resolution of any interagency disputes 
that may arise.
    Whistleblower Protections.--In the Office of Inspector 
General's Management Alert: HUD Should Take Additional Steps to 
Protect Contractor Employees Who Disclose Wrongdoing [2023-IG-
0002], the Office of Inspector General identified a troubling 
gap in HUD contracts when it found that several aggrieved 
employees of contractors who receive funds from HUD lacked 
whistleblower protections under 41 U.S.C. 4712. These critical 
protections have not been added to project-based rental 
assistance housing assistance payment contracts and contracts 
in other programs that have yet to undergo a major modification 
following the codification of 41 U.S.C. 4712 in 2013. Section 
245 of the bill addresses this gap and applies these 
whistleblower and anti-retaliation protections to all 
contracts, subcontracts, grants, subgrant, and personal service 
contracts.

    Hiring and Separation Report.--The Committee directs the 
OCFO and the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer [OCHCO] 
to submit semiannual reports to the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations on hiring and separations by program office, 
including the Office of the Inspector General and the Ginnie 
Mae. This report shall include position titles and location for 
FTP, including the Office of the Inspector General and the 
Ginnie Mae. The report shall also include trend analysis on 
staffing levels in field offices versus headquarters over the 
past three fiscal years.
    Expired Balances Report.--The Committee directs HUD's OCFO 
to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 90 days of the end of each fiscal year on 
all expired balances. The Committee reminds HUD to identify 
amounts by account and line item, including carryover and 
recaptures.
    Office of the Chief Financial Officer.--The Committee 
recommendation includes sufficient funding for at least three 
FTE in OCFO to support the increased workload associated with 
BABA compliance and providing timely responses to BABA waiver 
requests.
    Office of General Counsel [OGC].--The Committee directs the 
Department to maintain at least 119 FTE for the Departmental 
Enforcement Center and has provided sufficient funding for this 
hiring level.
    Weaver Building.--In a recent interim report to Congress, 
the Public Building Reform Board reported that ``taxpayers 
overspend to house agencies, while Federal employees often work 
in substandard office conditions that negatively impact mission 
outcomes, employee recruitment and retention, and 
sustainability goals.'' The Committee acknowledges the 
Department's efforts to consolidate its footprint and reassess 
its space requirements and assets. The Committee directs the 
Department to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 90 days of receipt of the final program 
of requirements that are currently in development for the 
Weaver Building and how the Department intends to gauge 
employee preferences regarding future space arrangements and 
use this information to inform potential alternatives, such as 
continued use of the Weaver Building, moving to another 
building, or sharing space with other agencies.

    Office of Public and Indian Housing [PIH].--The Committee 
is directed to ensure adequate staff are allocated to the Real 
Estate Assessment Center [REAC] to support the implementation 
of the national standards for the physical inspection of real 
estate [NSPIRE] and to support strategic coordination with 
other Federal agencies and external stakeholders to reduce 
duplicative physical inspections, as directed in Senate Report 
118-70. The Committee directs the Department to describe any 
staffing or budgetary changes made as a result of this 
directive as part of its fiscal year 2025 operating plan.
    The Committee does not approve the creation of a separate 
Office of Resident Services within PIH. The Committee supports 
the Department's goal of improving coordination related to 
resident experience and quality of life, but continues to 
encourage HUD to consider alternative structures or 
delineations of authorities to support policy alignment across 
all HUD-assisted residents.
    Office of Community Planning and Development [CPD].--Within 
the recommendation, the Committee provides adequate funding to 
support 21 additional FTE above the fiscal year 2024 estimated 
FTE level to support the significant increase in grants 
management work and environmental reviews associated with 
additional community investments for economic development 
initiatives [EDIs]. The Committee appreciates the Department's 
due diligence in managing this massive growth in workload over 
the past few fiscal years.
    Office of Housing.--The Committee approves the Department's 
request to provide direct support to small properties and 
owners converting assistance under RAD who lack the capacity 
needed to meet due diligence and underwriting requirements, 
including properties assisted under the section 202 and section 
8 moderate rehabilitation and McKinney-Vento single room 
occupancy programs. The Committee directs the Department to use 
not more than $2,000,000 for this purpose through existing 
cooperative agreements with participating administrative 
entities until further data is available on the scope of demand 
among such properties.

                          WORKING CAPITAL FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The WCF allows HUD to support Federal shared services used 
by offices and agencies of the Department on an enterprise-wide 
basis. Funds transferred to the WCF are derived from salaries 
and expenses accounts.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides the Secretary with 
the authority to transfer amounts provided in this title for 
S&E, except those for the Office of Inspector General, to this 
account for the purpose of funding centralized activities. For 
fiscal year 2025, the Department is permitted to only 
centralize and fund from this account: Federal shared services 
for financial management, procurement, travel, relocation, 
grants management platforms and human resources, including 
reorganization processing; printing; records management, 
including scanning and digital archiving services; space 
renovation; furniture; and supply services. The Committee urges 
the Department to fully implement the existing scope of 
approved WCF authorities and flexibilities before seeking to 
supplement those activities. Once the existing activities have 
been centralized, the Committee is open to expanding this 
authority. The Committee expects that, 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. Prior to exercising its authority to transfer funds 
for activities beyond what is required for shared service 
agreements, HUD shall establish a clear execution plan for 
centralizing the additional activities, and to properly vet 
that plan with the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations prior to transferring such funds into the WCF. 
Financial management, procurement, travel, and relocation costs 
for services provided to the Office of the Inspector General 
are covered by the OCFO.

                      INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY FUND

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $383,050,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     419,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     435,950,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The information technology fund finances the IT systems 
that support departmental programs and operations, including 
FHA mortgage insurance, housing assistance and grant programs, 
as well as core financial and general operations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $435,950,000 for the IT Fund for 
fiscal year 2025, which is $52,900,000 more than the fiscal 
year 2024 enacted level and $16,950,000 more than the budget 
request. The Committee recommendation includes $11,800,000 for 
IT end user and wireless devices within this account and does 
not approve the Department's request to fund such activities 
through the WCF. Within the total recommendation, $9,000,000 is 
provided to the zero trust & trusted Internet connection 
project, and no less than $5,150,000 is allocated to modernize 
and enhance systems that are used to manage EDIs.
    IT Fund Reporting and Oversight.--The Committee directs HUD 
to continue to include sufficient detail in its congressional 
justifications to delineate between funding for operations and 
maintenance [O&M] and DME, which as defined by OMB includes 
planning, and include plain language summaries of proposed DME 
projects, total costs and savings potential, target 
functionality, estimated timeline, and mission benefits 
associated with the requested amount. The Committee also 
directs HUD to continue to delineate funding for O&M and DME by 
project in its fiscal year 2025 operating plan.
    Quarterly Briefings.--The Committee continues to direct HUD 
to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on 
IT modernization efforts on a quarterly basis. For fiscal year 
2025, such briefings shall address, for each development, 
modernization, and enhancement project to be funded from 
available balances, including carryover: (1) results of the 
prior quarter, including actual expenditures and major 
milestones achieved; (2) any variances in cost, schedule 
(including procurement), or functionality from the previously 
provided project plan, reasons for such variances and estimated 
impact on total lifecycle costs; and (3) risks and mitigation 
strategies associated with ongoing work. The Committee directs 
HUD to provide status updates on the data center and end user 
contract transition as part of these briefings in fiscal year 
2025.
    Active Partners Performance System [APPS].--APPS supports 
the Department in its responsibility to review the previous 
participation of property owners in order to make decisions 
about future participation. The Office of Inspector General 
Report 2023-KC-0002 found that HUD lacked an automated process 
for flagging a property once it received a second consecutive 
REAC score below 60. The Committee appreciates that the Office 
of Multifamily Housing has automated such flags within APPS, 
but remains concerned that all related entities may not be 
identified within the system. The Committee encourages the 
Department to address this technical capability gap 
expeditiously, and directs the Department to brief the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of 
enactment of this act on whether such changes require a system 
enhancement and the extent to which such needs can be addressed 
through business process changes and data management.

Appropriations, 2024.................................... $32,386,831,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................  32,756,000,000
Committee recommendation................................  35,260,450,000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Amounts for fiscal year 2024 include $6,000,000,000 in emergency-
designated funding. The Committee recommendation for fiscal year 2025 
includes $8,030,000,000 in emergency-designated funding.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides funding for the section 8 tenant-
based [voucher] program, one of the principal appropriations 
for Federal housing assistance, serving approximately 2.3 
million families. Under this program, eligible low-income 
individuals and families pay 30 percent of their adjusted 
income for rent, and the Federal Government is responsible for 
the remainder of the rent, up to the fair market rent or some 
other payment standard. This account also provides funding for 
tenant protection vouchers for the replacement of units lost 
from the assisted housing inventory, administrative fees for 
public housing authorities [PHAs], mainstream vouchers, HUD-
Veterans Affairs supportive housing [HUD-VASH] and Tribal HUD-
VASH programs, and other incremental vouchers for vulnerable 
populations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $35,260,450,000 for fiscal year 
2025, including $4,000,000,000 as an advance appropriation to 
be made available on October 1, 2025. This amount is 
$2,873,619,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and 
$2,504,450,000 more than the budget request.
    Contract Renewals and Pilot Demonstration on Tenant Leasing 
Expenses.--The Committee recommends $32,035,450,000 for the 
renewal costs of section 8 vouchers. The recommendation 
includes an estimated $811,035,000 for section 811 mainstream 
vouchers within the total amount provided for renewals and 
administrative fees. Funding lines have been consolidated in 
order to reduce the administrative burden on HUD and PHAs. 
However, section 811 vouchers must continue to serve non-
elderly persons with disabilities upon turnover. Additionally, 
up to $10,000,000 of the amounts set-aside for renewal 
adjustments shall be for costs associated with mainstream 
vouchers. The Committee directs HUD to continue to provide 
timely updates on the voucher dashboard on the number of 
mainstream vouchers allocated and leased to ensure continued 
transparency. Based on current estimates, the Committee 
recommendation provides sufficient resources to ensure that no 
current voucher holders are put at risk of losing their housing 
assistance. The Committee will continue to monitor leasing and 
rental assistance cost data to make sure housing assistance is 
preserved, which has continually been a top priority for the 
Subcommittee. HUD should ensure that resources provided to PHAs 
reflect the market conditions of their specific geographies.
    The bill authorizes a demonstration to allow a limited 
number of PHAs to use housing assistance payments funding for 
tenant leasing expenses, such as security and utility deposits. 
Low-income families are often unsuccessful in utilizing section 
8 vouchers due to their inability to pay such deposits, which 
are commonly required by landlords, especially in difficult 
rental markets. This demonstration will assess the impact of 
this flexibility on improving voucher utilization, landlord 
participation and voucher costs, and evaluate how PHAs balance 
these costs and benefits within available resources. The 
Committee does not include any additional funding for this 
demonstration. In selecting PHAs for the demonstration, the 
Committee directs HUD to ensure geographic diversity and 
consider PHA performance and reserve levels to ensure this 
flexibility can be utilized without reducing the number of 
families served.
    Tenant Protection Vouchers [TPVs].--The Committee 
recommendation includes $300,000,000 for new tenant protection 
vouchers, equal to the budget request and $37,000,000 less than 
the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. With projected carryover 
balances, the amounts provided should fully fund the estimated 
need for TPVs in fiscal year 2025 to help HUD-assisted families 
relocate and avoid hardship.
    Administrative Fees.--The Committee recommends 
$2,880,000,000 for administrative fees, which is $109,065,000 
more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. The Committee 
notes that these funds are critical to the execution and 
success of the voucher program, supporting a diverse range of 
activities and critical functions such as: property 
inspections; case management, including tenant screening, 
income recertification, and emergency transfers; landlord 
outreach; the issuance of new vouchers upon program turnover; 
and assistance for tenants seeking housing. The Committee 
continues to direct the Department to brief the House and 
Senate Committee on Appropriations not less than annually on 
the utilization of administrative fees for eligible expenses to 
improve leasing, such as security deposit assistance and 
landlord recruitment and incentive payments.
    Tribal HUD-VASH.--The Committee recommendation includes up 
to $7,500,000 for the renewal of rental assistance and 
associated administrative costs for the Tribal HUD-VASH 
demonstration program. The Committee continues to encourage HUD 
to use its existing reallocation authority where necessary to 
ensure this program is utilized to the greatest extent 
possible.
    HUD-VASH.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$15,000,000 to expand the HUD-VASH program, of which up to 
$10,000,000 may be used for other eligible expenses defined by 
notice to facilitate leasing, such as security deposit 
assistance and other costs related to retention and support of 
participating owners. Over the past year, at the direction of 
this Committee, HUD and the VA have taken several actions to 
improve the HUD-VASH voucher utilization. This includes 
publishing guidance to allow a PHA to be a designated service 
provider; allowing third party providers to provide case 
management services through contracts and other collaborative 
case management models, particularly in instances where the VA 
is insufficiently staffed; making multiple rounds of HUD-VASH 
and additional administrative fees available; and supporting 
HUD-VASH boot camps across the country to bring PHAs and VA 
medical center staff together to work through the challenges 
they face on the ground. The Committee directs HUD, in 
coordination with the VA, to consider conducting additional 
HUD-VASH boot camps, to continue to provide targeted technical 
assistance based on action plans and learning from the HUD-VASH 
boot camps, and to provide a status update, within 60 days of 
enactment of this act, regarding the extent to which 
communities have deployed alternative methods to expand HUD-
VASH case management capacity.
    Family Unification Program [FUP].--The Committee includes 
$30,000,000 for new FUP vouchers. To ensure that vouchers are 
available where youth need assistance, the Committee directs 
the Department to base the maximum number of vouchers that a 
PHA may request in a Federal fiscal year on identified need and 
referrals. To improve the accessibility of youth FUP vouchers, 
the Committee directs HUD in its training materials to 
encourage PHAs to affirmatively amend their administrative 
plans to facilitate requesting youth FUP vouchers.
    The Committee reminds the Department of the requirement 
contained in Senate Report 118-70 on the FUP voucher request 
and reallocation processes.
    The Committee directs HUD to consult with PHAs 
participating in FUP, HHS, experts on child welfare, and other 
stakeholders regarding any potential program challenges due to 
statutory time limits, statutory criteria, policy definitions, 
or other operational aspects. The Committee directs HUD to 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations and 
respective authorizing committees within 180 days of enactment 
of this act on such consultation, and provide its 
recommendations: (1) to improve program operations; (2) to 
assist youth in navigating the housing search process and 
preventing returns to homelessness after the subsidized rental 
assistance sunsets; and (3) on how Federal, State, and local 
stakeholders can best support participants as they transition 
from foster care to successful adulthood.
    Special Purpose Vouchers.--The Committee understands that 
populations served by section 811 mainstream, FUP, and foster 
youth initiative vouchers face certain challenges to finding 
units available for lease within the normal timeframes of the 
larger voucher program. These difficulties increase the risk of 
these vulnerable groups experiencing homelessness and cause 
these vouchers to be unused. Therefore, the bill continues to 
permit HUD to waive or specify alternative requirements for 
certain waiting list and timing requirements.
    Project-Based Vouchers.--The Committee supports the 
Department's efforts to improve its data on the number and 
percentage of vouchers that are, or planned to be, project-
based at each PHA through the planned improvements to the 
housing information portal [HIP], and directs the Department to 
expeditiously launch this functionality. To support the 
implementation of the recently published final rule related to 
project-based voucher changes made in HOTMA, the Committee 
directs HUD to provide training and direct technical 
assistance, as appropriate, to clarify the categories of units 
excluded from the 20 percent limitation and 10 percent 
exception. The Committee directs the Department to brief the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations and relevant 
authorizing committees within 120 days of enactment of this act 
on: (1) the analysis of impact required under 24 CFR 983.6(a) 
when a PHA project-bases 50 percent or more of its authorized 
voucher units; (2) what information will be expected regarding 
local market constraints and needs; and (3) the PHA's ability 
to fulfill its responsibilities to provide tenant-based 
assistance to project-base assisted families that wish to move.
    Homeownership.--The housing choice voucher homeownership 
program allows assisted families to use their vouchers to buy a 
home. However, PHA staff who administer rental programs may not 
have the expertise to facilitate homeownership. The Committee 
encourages the Department to support training and education 
opportunities for PHA staff on the mortgage and loan process 
and best practices in the housing choice voucher homeownership 
program. To the greatest extent possible, educational or 
training material produced shall be publicly available on the 
HUD exchange website.

                        HOUSING CERTIFICATE FUND

                        (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Until fiscal year 2005, the housing certificate fund 
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

    The Committee has included language that will allow 
unobligated balances from specific accounts to be used to renew 
or amend project-based rental assistance contracts.

                          PUBLIC HOUSING FUND

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $8,810,784,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   8,540,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   8,783,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides funding for the payment of operating 
subsidies, as well as modernization and capital expenses for 
approximately 3,000 PHAs (except tribally designated housing 
entities) that manage approximately 900,000 public housing 
units.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,783,000,000 
for the public housing fund, which is $243,000,000 more than 
the budget request and $27,784,000 less than the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level.
    Capital Expenses.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$3,200,000,000 for allocations to PHAs through the capital fund 
formula, which is equal to the fiscal year 2024 enacted level.
    Operating Expenses.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$5,366,000,000 for allocations to PHAs through the operating 
fund formula and $107,000,000 to mitigate the risk of financial 
shortfalls among PHAs, which is $82,000,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2024 enacted level. Combined, these recommended 
funding levels provide sufficient resources for every PHA to 
maintain current service levels and have 4 months of operating 
reserves based on current estimates.
    Receiverships and Troubled, Substandard or Otherwise At-
Risk PHAs.--The Committee recommendation includes $15,000,000 
for the cost of administrative and judicial receiverships and 
competitive grants for PHAs in receivership, designated 
troubled or substandard, or otherwise at risk to address 
capital needs.
    The Committee directs the Department to provide a report to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 45 
days of the enactment of this act, and on an annual basis 
thereafter no later than March 1, on the status of PHAs under 
receivership, and the factors that informed the receivership, 
such as physical and financial scores, deficiencies with 
internal controls, and other information demonstrating why HUD 
believes PHAs are unable to effectively oversee their business 
operations. This report shall also include an identification of 
funding resources and technical assistance provided to each PHA 
for the purpose of transitioning out of receivership, and 
future steps HUD will take to address deficiencies in an effort 
to return the respective PHAs to local control. The Committee 
also directs the Department to promptly brief the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations if there are any changes to 
the list of administrative and judicial receiverships.
    Emergency and Safety and Security Grants.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $30,000,000 for emergency capital 
needs, of which at least $10,000,000 is to be used for safety 
and security measures in public housing in order to protect 
tenants. The Committee believes that this level of funding will 
support both repairs from disasters and safety and security 
improvements. Therefore, the Committee directs the Department 
to fund eligible safety and security projects with a portion of 
these funds as quickly as possible.
    Residential Health Hazards.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $65,000,000 to help PHAs address lead-based paint and 
other residential health hazards, including mold, carbon 
monoxide, radon and fire, in public housing units. The 
Committee continues to include prohibitions on the Department's 
ability to preclude funds from being awarded to any PHA that is 
under the direction of a monitor or any PHA as ineligible to 
apply for or receive funding that has a violation or violations 
of the lead-safe housing or lead disclosure rules, or from 
being used to carry out work to settle an outstanding 
violation.
    Flexibility for Operating Funds for Capital Needs.--The 
Committee is committed to addressing the physical needs of 
troubled public housing properties and provides a new 
flexibility to allow PHAs with one or more properties with low 
physical inspection scores to use available operating funds and 
excess reserves for capital expenses.

              ASSISTED HOUSING INSPECTIONS AND ASSESSMENTS

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $50,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      50,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      50,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account supports financial, and health and safety 
inspections conducted by the REAC for over 2.4 million units of 
HUD-assisted affordable housing. Prior to fiscal year 2024, 
funding for such inspections were provided under the public 
housing fund and multifamily housing accounts.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 to 
support ongoing physical and financial assessment activities 
performed by REAC, including implementation of NSPIRE.
    Physical Property Inspection Coordination.--As discussed in 
the front matter of this report, the Committee directs the 
Department, in coordination with the IRS, to, within existing 
authorities, take steps to minimize the need for duplicative 
inspections. The Committee reminds the Department that Senate 
Report 118-70 directed HUD to report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the extent to which the 
physical inspection alignment program [PIAP] is currently 
utilized, the number of duplicative inspections and estimated 
costs that could eliminated if the PIAP was maximized, and any 
identified limitations to providing this data. The Committee 
directs HUD to promote use of the interagency housing alignment 
portal [IHAP], address data gaps in IHAP, including the current 
exclusion of project-based vouchers, and to ensure adequate 
staff are allocated to REAC to support strategic coordination 
efforts with other Federal agencies and external stakeholders 
to reduce duplicative physical inspections.
    Health Hazards.--The Committee commends the Department in 
the closure of multiple priority GAO and Office of Inspector 
General recommendations regarding processes, procedures and 
timely action to address health hazards identified in HUD-
assisted housing. The Committee directs the Department to 
expeditiously close the remaining open recommendation in HUD 
Office of Inspector General report 2023-CH-0004 to develop and 
implement a nationwide protocol for field offices regarding PHA 
self-inspections.

                    CHOICE NEIGHBORHOODS INITIATIVE

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $75,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     140,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     100,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The choice neighborhoods initiative provides competitive 
grants to transform underserved distressed neighborhoods into 
sustainable, mixed-income neighborhoods with co-location of 
appropriate services, schools, public assets, transportation 
options, and access to jobs or job training. Choice 
neighborhoods grants fund the development of comprehensive 
neighborhood transformation plans that involve broad civic 
engagement from residents and the community and the 
implementation of these plans through affordable housing 
activities and supportive services for residents. Grantees 
include PHAs, Tribes, local governments, and nonprofit 
organizations. For-profit developers may also apply in 
partnership with another eligible grantee.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $100,000,000 
for the choice neighborhoods initiative. This amount is 
$25,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and 
$40,000,000 less than the budget request. Of the total amount 
provided, not less than $50,000,000 shall be awarded to 
projects where PHAs are the lead applicant, and no more than 
$10,000,000 may be used for planning, including planning and 
action, grants. The Committee continues to direct the Secretary 
to give recipients of prior year planning grants priority 
consideration for implementation grant awards.

                       SELF-SUFFICIENCY PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $195,500,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     175,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     200,500,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides funding for self-sufficiency 
programs, including the family self-sufficiency and the 
resident opportunities and self-sufficiency [ROSS] programs, 
and the jobs plus initiative [JPI]. FSS provides funding to 
PHAs for the salaries of FSS coordinators to help section 8 and 
public housing residents achieve self-sufficiency and economic 
independence. ROSS provides funding to PHAs, public housing 
resident associations, Native American Tribes, and non-profit 
organizations to hire and maintain service coordinators to 
connect residents of public housing and Indian housing with 
supportive services including employment and educational 
opportunities. The JPI provides grants to PHAs, which are 
required to partner with Department of Labor jobs centers, to 
assist public housing residents with job placement and 
increasing earned income.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$200,500,000 for self-sufficiency programs in fiscal year 2025, 
which is $5,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
level, and $25,500,000 more than the budget request. This 
includes $145,500,000 for the FSS program, $40,000,000 for the 
ROSS program, and $15,000,000 for the JPI.
    FSS Program.--The Committee strongly supports the FSS 
program, which provides public housing and section 8 residents 
with the tools to improve their economic stability and 
financial management skills, and ultimately achieve self-
sufficiency. Before awarding funding to new grantees, the 
Committee directs the Department to first prioritize the 
renewal of all existing coordinators and second prioritize 
funding additional coordinators for current grantees whose 
program sizes qualify for additional coordinators.
    JPI.--Section 237 of the bill provides the authority 
requested in the President's budget to allow the JPI financial 
and rent incentive expenses to be paid from housing assistance 
source accounts to help reduce administrative burdens for HUD 
and grantees. To ensure transparency, HUD is directed to 
provide in its congressional justifications the actual total 
cost of the JPI, including the financial and rent incentives 
provided to program participants.

                        NATIVE AMERICAN PROGRAMS

Committee recommendation................................   1,455,100,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account funds the Indian housing block grant program 
[IHBG], as authorized under title I of the Native American 
Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (Public 
Law 104-330), and the Indian community development block grant 
program [ICDBG], authorized under title I of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-383). The IHBG 
program provides a funding allocation on a formula basis to 
Indian Tribes and their Tribally designated housing entities 
[TDHEs] to help address the housing needs within their 
communities. The ICDBG program provides Indian Tribes the 
opportunity to compete for funding to address Tribal community 
development needs.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommended funding level for Native American 
programs is $1,455,100,000, which is $111,100,000 more than the 
amount provided in fiscal year 2024 and $402,100,000 more than 
the budget request. The table below provides funding levels for 
activities within this account.

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

    Competitive Grants.--The IHBG program is a vital resource 
for Tribal governments to address the dire housing conditions 
in Indian Country, as the quality of and access to affordable 
housing remains in a critical state for many Tribes across the 
country. The most recent HUD survey data indicates that over 
68,000 units of new affordable housing are necessary to replace 
substandard or over-crowded housing conditions for Native 
Americans and Alaska Natives living in Tribal areas. To assist 
Tribes with these daunting housing challenges, the Committee 
recommendation includes $1,217,100,000 in formula funding and 
$150,000,000 in competitive funding in order to assist areas 
with greater need.
    In administering the competitive program, the Committee 
directs HUD staff to review and score each application in its 
entirety. Additionally, the fiscal year 2025 appropriation 
shall be administered as a new stand-alone competition and may 
not be combined with prior or future year appropriations, 
although any remaining balances from the fiscal year 2024 
competition or prior competition may be included in the fiscal 
year 2025 competition. Demonstrating sufficient administrative 
capacity to administer these grants has been, and remains, a 
critical consideration. Applicants should be required to meet a 
threshold of capacity, but the competition should not provide 
additional points for capacity above and beyond what is needed 
to successfully administer these grants.
    Coordinated Environmental Reviews for Tribal Housing and 
Related Infrastructure.--Since fiscal year 2015, the Committee 
has directed HUD to collaborate with its Federal agency 
partners to develop a coordinated environmental review process 
to simplify and streamline Tribal housing development and its 
related infrastructure needs. The Committee believes that 
eliminating unnecessary Federal barriers to housing development 
is an essential component to facilitate an effective use of 
Federal funding, while also balancing the need to ensure 
appropriate and necessary environmental protections. The 
Committee supports HUD's efforts to advance the Tribal Housing 
and Related Infrastructure Interagency Task Force in order to 
identify opportunities for greater efficiencies.
    Technical Assistance.--Limited capacity hinders the ability 
of many Tribes to effectively address their housing needs. The 
Committee recommendation includes $7,000,000 for technical 
assistance needs in Indian Country to support the IHBG program, 
as well as other HUD programs, in order to meet the needs of 
Native American families and Indian Country. The Committee 
expects HUD to use the technical assistance funding provided to 
aid Tribes with capacity challenges, especially Tribes 
receiving small grant awards. The funding should be used for 
training, contract expertise, and other services necessary to 
improve data collection, increase leveraging, and address other 
needs identified by Tribes. The Committee also expects that 
these technical assistance funds will be provided to 
organizations with experience in providing technical assistance 
that reflects the unique needs and culture of Native Americans.
    Legislative Proposals.--The bill includes legislative 
proposals to: (1) allow for mortgages to be guaranteed for up 
to 40 years in length when seeking to modify a loan to avoid 
foreclosure to align loss mitigation options with that of the 
FHA; and (2) to expand program service areas to all Tribal 
members, regardless ofwhere they purchase a home; and (3) to 
correct implementation challenges with the authority for Tribes 
to participate in the CoC program.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This program provides access to private financing for 
Indian families, Indian Tribes, and their TDHE's that otherwise 
could not acquire housing financing because of the unique 
status of Indian trust land. HUD continues to be the largest 
single source of financing for housing in Tribal communities. 
This program makes it possible to promote sustainable 
reservation communities by providing access to financing for 
higher income Native Americans to achieve homeownership within 
their Native communities. As required by the Federal Credit 
Reform Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), this account includes 
the subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees 
authorized under this program.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,500,000 in 
credit subsidy to support a loan level of $1,800,000,000. This 
appropriation is equal to the fiscal year 2024 enacted level 
and $500,000 less than the budget request.
    Native Advantage.--The Committee remains concerned about 
the extraordinarily long period of time that it is taking to 
address the HUD Office of Inspector General findings and 
recommendations with respect to the processes and information 
technology systems that are used to monitor, track, evaluate, 
and report on the loans issued under the section 184 program 
dating back to 2015. There remain 12 open recommendations, 3 of 
which date back to a programmatic audit from 2015. The 
Committee directs the Department to update the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations quarterly during fiscal year 2025 
on its progress in both completing the Native advantage system 
and resolving the Office of Inspector General's open finding 
and recommendations.
    Skilled Workers Loan Credit Subsidy.--The Committee notes 
that there remains substantial carry over from fiscal year 2017 
for skilled workers credit loan subsidy which can generate 
meaningful investments across Indian Country. The Committee 
strongly urges the Department to significantly expand 
stakeholder outreach regarding the availability of these 
resources which will help develop housing for the critical 
workforces that supports the education, healthcare, law 
enforcement, emergency response, and construction needs of 
Tribal communities.

                  NATIVE HAWAIIAN HOUSING BLOCK GRANT

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $22,300,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      22,300,000
Committee recommendation................................      22,300,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Hawaiian Homelands Homeownership Act of 2000 (Public 
Law 106-568) created the Native Hawaiian housing block grant 
program to provide grants to the State of Hawaii Department of 
Hawaiian Home Lands [DHHL] for housing and housing-related 
assistance, in order to develop, maintain, and operate 
affordable housing for eligible low-income Native Hawaiian 
families. As one of the United States' indigenous people, 
Native Hawaiian people have a unique relationship with the 
Federal Government.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $22,300,000 
for the Native Hawaiian housing block grant program, which is 
equal to the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and the budget 
request.
    The Committee is encouraged to learn that DHHL intends to 
address the needs of low-income Native Hawaiians through the 
development of multifamily, affordable housing rental units, 
rent to own options on Hawaiian homelands, and permanent 
supportive housing for Native Hawaiians experiencing 
homelessness. The expansion of programmatic services beyond 
those that afford homeownership options will help to serve all 
Native Hawaiians on the waiting list, of which 46 percent are 
cost burdened and paying more than 30 percent of income on 
housing costs, 38 percent experience overcrowding, and 10 
percent lack complete plumbing facilities. Additionally, Native 
Hawaiians are overrepresented among Hawaii's homeless as Native 
Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders accounted for only 10 
percent of the state's population, but were over 40 percent of 
the individuals experiencing homelessness.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Native Hawaiian housing loan guarantee fund (section 
184A program) offers Native Hawaiian homeownership, property 
rehabilitation, and new construction opportunities on Hawaiian 
home lands. The section 184A program expands the market for 
lenders and ensures access to private-market mortgages for a 
traditionally underserved population. Private financing is used 
to cover construction or acquisitions costs, while Federal 
funding is used only to guarantee payment in the event of a 
default. Eligible borrowers include Native Hawaiian families 
who are eligible to reside on the Hawaiian home lands, DHHL, 
the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and organizations experienced 
in the planning and development of affordable housing for 
Native Hawaiians.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides $28,000,000 in loan 
guarantee commitment authority, including the authority to 
refinance loans. Since the section 184A program has operated on 
a negative subsidy since 2017, additional appropriations for 
subsidy are not necessary due to historically low defaults and 
high recovery rates of this successful program.

              HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $505,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     505,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     524,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The housing opportunities for persons with AIDS [HOPWA] 
program provides grants to States, localities, and nonprofits 
to devise and deploy long-term, comprehensive strategies for 
meeting the housing and supportive service needs of persons 
living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
    By statute, 90 percent of appropriated funds are 
distributed to qualifying States and metropolitan areas on the 
basis of the number of living HIV and living AIDS cases, as 
well as poverty and local housing cost factors. The remaining 
10 percent of funds are awarded through a national competition, 
with priority given to the renewal of funding for expiring 
agreements consistent with appropriations act requirements.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $524,000,000 
for the HOPWA program, which is $19,000,000 more than the 
budget request and fiscal year 2024 enacted level.
    Meeting the Current Needs of Communities.--It is critical 
that people in every State have access to funding that supports 
low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS. Accordingly, 10 
percent of nonformula funding provides an opportunity to States 
and units of general local government that do not receive 
formula funding to apply for competitive grants. The Committee 
continues to include language requiring HUD to prioritize the 
renewal or replacement of expiring agreements in a manner that 
preserves existing HOPWA programs and allows active competitive 
grantees to modify and update their original activities to meet 
the current needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS within their 
communities. The Committee directs HUD to ensure competitive 
grantees are aware of the opportunity to modify and update 
service models and any potential benefits to doing so.
    Formula Eligibility.--The Committee directs the Department 
to continue to conduct outreach to all grantees with potential 
formula changes in 2026, pursuant to the HOTMA, and to provide 
direct technical assistance as needed. The Committee directs 
the Department to provide the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations and the relevant authorizing committees with a 
quarterly status update on its efforts to ensure adequate 
transition plans are in place to minimize disruptions to 
housing assistance due to the projected 2026 formula changes 
and its efforts in advancing the legislative changes described 
in the fiscal year 2025 congressional justifications.

                       COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $6,720,054,336
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   2,930,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   4,614,317,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Under title I of the Housing and Community Development Act 
of 1974 (Public Law 93-383), as amended, the Department is 
authorized to award block grants to units of general local 
government and States for the funding of local community 
development programs. A wide range of physical, economic, and 
social development activities are eligible, with spending 
priorities determined at the local level. The law enumerates 
general objectives which the block grants are designed to 
fulfill, including adequate housing, a suitable living 
environment, and expanded economic opportunities, principally 
for persons of low- and moderate-income. Grant recipients are 
required to use at least 70 percent of their block grant funds 
for activities that benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
    Funds are distributed to eligible recipients for community 
development purposes utilizing the higher of two objective 
formulas, one of which gives somewhat greater weight to the age 
of housing stock. Of the funds appropriated, 70 percent are 
distributed to entitlement communities and 30 percent are 
distributed to non-entitlement communities after deducting 
designated amounts for insular areas.
    Funding under this heading also accommodates investments 
authorized under the Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that 
Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment [SUPPORT] for Patients 
and Communities Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-271), in order to 
provide safe transitional housing for individuals recovering 
from substance use disorders.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee provides $4,614,317,000 for the community 
development fund, which is $1,684,317,000 above the budget 
request and $2,102,737,336 below the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
level. Within this total, $3,300,000,000 is for CDBG, 
$30,000,000 is for activities authorized under the SUPPORT for 
Patients and Communities Act, $100,000,000 is for grants to 
reduce barriers to affordable housing development, and 
$1,187,317,000 is for EDIs.
    Since 2005, CDBG has assisted nearly 1.9 million homeowners 
and renters with services such as housing rehabilitation, down 
payment assistance, and lead abatement; helped create or retain 
over 505,000 jobs; and benefited over 656 million people 
through public facility improvements. For every dollar of CDBG 
funding invested in 2022, an additional $5.02 was leveraged in 
non-CDBG funding. The flexibility associated with CDBG enables 
State and local governments to tailor solutions to effectively 
meet the unique needs of their communities. As HUD works with 
communities to determine eligible activities that meet the 
national objective of benefiting low- and moderate-income 
persons, the Committee encourages the Department to extend 
flexibility to rural communities with less than 1,000 residents 
to use alternate sources of data when American community survey 
data is considered by the CDBG applicant to be unreliable. 
Additionally, to ensure accountability and transparency, the 
Committee recommendation continues provisions in this act that 
prohibit any community from selling its CDBG award to another 
community, and that require any funding provided to a for-
profit entity for an economic development project funded under 
this act to undergo appropriate underwriting.
    Yes in My Backyard Incentive Grant Program.--For decades, 
housing production across the country has not kept pace with 
population and economic growth, resulting in a nation-wide 
housing shortage. This is in part due to restrictive local 
zoning and land use regulations as well as a lack of necessary 
housing-related infrastructure. The Federal Government can 
support communities as they remove barriers to affordable 
housing production in order to increase the supply of housing, 
lower housing costs, and ensure families have an affordable 
place to live, particularly in high-opportunity neighborhoods. 
The Committee includes $100,000,000 for this competitive grant 
program to reward State, local, and regional jurisdictions that 
have made significant progress in improving zoning and land use 
policies, or removing other local barriers, that can increase 
affordable housing production and preservation. Improved 
policies may include increasing density, reducing minimum lot 
sizes, creating transit-oriented development zones, 
streamlining or shortening permitting processes and timelines, 
expanding by-right multifamily zoned areas, allowing accessory 
dwelling units [ADU] on lots with single-family homes, 
eliminating or relaxing residential property height 
limitations, eliminating or reducing off-street parking 
requirements, and allowing the conversion of vacant retail and 
office space into residential housing. Eligible grant 
activities shall include new construction of housing, including 
mixed-income housing to the greatest extent possible, and 
putting in place the necessary infrastructure for new housing 
development. When making awards, the Committee encourages HUD 
to ensure geographic diversity amongst grantees, including in 
urban, suburban, rural areas. Further, the Committee directs 
HUD to continue to seek ways to permit a more streamlined 
application process and to ensure grants are awarded in a 
timely manner. Finally, the Committee emphasizes its intentions 
for this to be an outcome-focused program that will unlock 
housing availability.
    CDBG Formula Modernization.--The Committee notes that the 
CDBG formula has not been updated since 1978 and appreciates 
HUD's updating of its report, entitled An Evaluation of the 
CDBG Formula's Targeting to Community Development Need in order 
to analyze the current formula's effectiveness in meeting the 
goals of the CDBG program. This report offers considerations 
for updating the current formula to better target community 
development needs, and HUD is encouraged to work with the 
relevant congressional committees on updating the formula and 
reauthorizing the program.
    CDBG Rulemaking.--The Committee commends HUD for publishing 
a proposed rulemaking for the CDBG program regulations, working 
within the constraints of the existing statute. The Committee 
continues to direct HUD to work expeditiously towards a final 
rule that will enhance grantees' ability to use CDBG funds 
while streamlining reporting requirements, and take steps in 
the interim to use administrative authorities to reduce 
unnecessary burdens.
    Recovery Housing Program [RHP].--The Committee directs HUD 
to provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of this act on the 
impact of the RHP since it began receiving funding in 2020, 
lessons learned from service delivery models, and 
recommendations for modifications to the program's formula that 
would modernize the data utilized, reflect the widespread needs 
across the Nation, and ensure appropriate allocations of 
funding.
    EDIs.--The Committee recommends $1,187,317,000 for EDIs. 
EDIs are CDS projects that support a variety of community 
development and affordable housing needs and benefit low- and 
moderate-income areas and people or meet an urgent need. The 
Committee directs HUD to provide funding for the projects 
listed in the table at the end of this report in the 
corresponding amounts and for the corresponding recipient. The 
Committee continues to direct HUD to provide semi-annual 
briefings to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
on the implementation of EDIs and the Department's oversight of 
projects. The Committee continues to direct HUD to prioritize 
timely outreach and responses to EDI grantees. To support HUD 
in its efforts, the Committee recommendation includes increased 
funding for CPD and the information technology fund to help 
address the increasing number of EDIs and the associated 
workload.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Section 108 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 
1974 (Public Law 93-383), as amended, authorizes the Secretary 
to issue Federal loan guarantees of private market loans used 
by entitlement and non-entitlement communities to cover the 
costs of acquiring real property, rehabilitation of publicly 
owned real property, housing rehabilitation, and other economic 
development activities.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides a loan level 
guarantee of $400,000,000, which is equal to the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level and the budget request. The Committee 
requires HUD to collect fees to offset credit subsidy costs 
such that the program operates at a net zero credit subsidy 
cost.
    This program enables CDBG recipients to use their CDBG 
dollars to leverage financing for economic development 
projects, community facilities, and housing rehabilitation 
programs. Communities are allowed to borrow up to five times 
their most recent CDBG allocation.

                  HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $1,250,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   1,250,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,425,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Title II of the National Affordable Housing Act (Public Law 
101-625), as amended, authorizes the HOME program. This program 
provides assistance to States and local governments for the 
purpose of expanding the supply and affordability of housing to 
low- and very low-income people. Eligible activities include 
tenant-based rental assistance, acquisition and rehabilitation 
of affordable rental and ownership housing, and housing 
construction. To participate in the HOME program, State and 
local governments must develop a comprehensive housing 
affordability strategy. There is a 25 percent matching 
requirement for participating jurisdictions, which can be 
reduced or eliminated if they are experiencing fiscal distress.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,425,000,000 
for the HOME program. This amount is $175,000,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2024 enacted level and the budget request.
    Affordable Housing Needs.--Communities across the country 
continue to face an affordable housing crisis as rents are on 
the rise nationally, low and moderate incomes have not kept 
pace with housing cost increases, and the production of 
affordable housing units lags far behind the need. According to 
HUD's most recent ``Worst Case Housing Needs: 2023 Report to 
Congress,'' in 2021, only 57 affordable units were available 
for every 100 very low-income renter households and only 36 
units were available for every 100 extremely low-income renter 
households. The HOME program is an essential tool to address 
the shortfall of affordable housing for rent or homeownership 
and provides necessary public gap financing to facilitate 
private sector investment in affordable housing, enabling 
significant leverage capacity of public and private resources. 
Over the life of the program, HOME has leveraged more than 
$184,000,000,000 in other funding sources for affordable 
housing, yielding $4.86 in other sources invested in rental and 
homebuyer projects for every HOME dollar invested.
    Rulemaking.--The Committee commends HUD for publishing a 
proposed rulemaking for the HOME program that could streamline 
and modernize program regulations, working within the 
constraints of the existing statute. The Committee continues to 
direct HUD to work expeditiously towards a final rule, and take 
steps in the interim to use administrative authorities to 
reduce unnecessary burdens.

   PRESERVATION AND REINVESTMENT INITIATIVE FOR COMMUNITY ENHANCEMENT

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $10,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................................
Committee recommendation................................      10,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The preservation and reinvestment initiative for community 
enhancement [PRICE] program provides competitive grants to 
preserve and revitalize manufactured housing and eligible 
manufactured housing communities. Grants support low- and 
moderate-income homeowners with manufactured housing units and 
manufactured housing communities with repairs, infrastructure 
improvements, upgrades to increase resilience, services like 
eviction prevention and housing counseling, and planning 
activities such as those needed to transition to resident-
managed communities.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,000,000 
for the PRICE program. This amount is equal to the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level and $10,000,000 more than the budget 
request.

        SELF-HELP AND ASSISTED HOMEOWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $60,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      54,700,000
Committee recommendation................................      70,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The self-help and assisted homeownership opportunity 
program provides funding for several programs, including the 
self-help homeownership opportunity program [SHOP], which 
assists low-income homebuyers who are willing to contribute 
``sweat equity'' toward the construction of their houses. These 
funds increase nonprofit organizations' ability to leverage 
funds from other sources. This account also includes funding 
for the capacity building for community development and 
affordable housing program, as well as assistance to rural 
communities, as authorized under sections 6301 through 6305 of 
Public Law 110-246. These programs assist in the development of 
the capacity of nonprofit organizations to carry out community 
development and affordable housing projects.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $70,000,000 for the self-help and 
assisted homeownership opportunity program, which is 
$10,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and 
$15,300,000 more than the budget request. The Committee 
recommendation includes $13,000,000 for SHOP, as authorized 
under section 11 of the Housing Opportunity Program Extension 
Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-120); $47,000,000 for capacity 
building, as authorized by section 4(a) of the HUD 
Demonstration Act of 1993 (Public Law 104-120), of which not 
less than $5,000,000 is for rural capacity building activities; 
and $10,000,000 to carry out the national capacity building 
activities in rural communities. The Committee notes that 
funding for technical assistance is being provided in the 
research and technology account and directs that funds 
available for the section 4 program be used solely for capacity 
building activities.
    SHOP Per Unit Average Investment Cap.--SHOP funds can be 
used to acquire land, purchase foreclosed or abandoned 
properties, and improve the infrastructure of homes for first 
time, low-income homeowners. The Committee recognizes these 
activities are some of the most difficult activities for 
nonprofits to finance. The Committee notes that HUD increased 
the allowable average SHOP expenditure for the combined cost of 
land acquisition and infrastructure improvements for the first 
time since 2004 in the fiscal year 2022 NOFO. The Committee 
directs HUD to use its existing authorities to include an 
allowable average per SHOP unit cost in the fiscal year 2025 
NOFO that is greater than the historical cap of $15,000 per 
SHOP unit.
    Capacity Building to Address the Needs of Tribal 
Communities.--American Indian, Native Hawaiian, and Alaska 
Native communities and populations face rising housing cost 
burdens and barriers to homeownership, as well as 
disproportionate physical housing and capacity deficiencies. 
HUD is directed to ensure section 4 grantees collectively 
invest not less than $1,000,000 in targeted capacity building 
activities to benefit Native Hawaiian, American Indian, and 
Alaska Native communities and populations. This minimum 
investment is separate from the required investment for rural 
capacity building activities of not less than $5,000,000.
    Rural Capacity Building Program.--Funding for the rural 
capacity building program for community development and 
affordable housing is intended for truly national 
organizations. For the purposes of the national rural capacity 
building NOFO, the Committee directs HUD to define an eligible 
national organization as ``a nonprofit entity, which has 
ongoing experience in rural housing, including experience 
working with rural housing organizations, local governments, 
and Indian Tribes, as evidenced by past and continuing work in 
one or more States in eight or more of HUD's Federal regions.''
    Manufactured Housing.--A significant portion of the housing 
stock in rural areas is comprised of manufactured housing. More 
than half of all manufactured homes are located in rural areas 
around the country and manufactured homes make up 13 percent of 
all occupied homes in rural and small town communities, while 
also comprising about 6 percent of the nation's overall housing 
stock. The Committee encourages section 4 grantees to support 
manufactured housing communities, including resident-owned 
cooperatives that are working to improve infrastructure, 
purchase their communities, preserve housing affordability, and 
develop more affordable homes.

                       HOMELESS ASSISTANCE GRANTS

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $4,051,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   4,060,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   4,319,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Homeless assistance grants assist localities in addressing 
the housing and service needs of a wide variety of homeless 
populations while developing coordinated systems to help those 
who are homeless attain housing and move toward self-
sufficiency. These grants provide funding for rental 
assistance, emergency shelter, transitional and permanent 
housing, prevention, rapid re-housing, and supportive services 
to homeless persons and families or those at risk of 
homelessness. The emergency solutions grants [ESG] program is a 
formula grant program, while the continuum of care [CoC] and 
rural housing stability programs are competitive grants.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,319,000,000 
for homeless assistance grants in fiscal year 2025. This amount 
is $259,000,000 above the budget request, and $268,000,000 
above the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. The Committee 
recommendation includes $3,812,000,000 to support the CoC 
program, including the renewal of existing projects, and 
$290,000,000 for the ESG program.
    Improving Access to Healthcare and Services.--Several 
studies have demonstrated that interventions focused on social 
determinants of health can help support housing permanency 
while also reducing healthcare costs. Moreover, shelters and 
homeless assistance programs across the country are seeing 
sharp increases in the number of elderly individuals, many of 
whom have complex medical conditions that necessitate 
coordination between housing and healthcare services to help 
them become or remain stably housed. The Committee continues to 
support the efforts underway between HUD and the Department of 
Health and Human Services' [HHS's] Centers for Medicare and 
Medicaid Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service 
Administration, Administration for Community Living and 
Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation to provide 
direct technical assistance to communities leveraging programs, 
like Medicaid, to cover and provide housing-related supportive 
services and behavioral healthcare. The Committee 
recommendation includes no less than $20,000,000 for technical 
assistance, of which $5,000,000 is provided to support direct, 
community-specific technical assistance to such communities. 
The Committee reminds HUD and HHS of the requirement to jointly 
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on this 
effort by September 5, 2024.
    The Committee recommendation also includes up to 
$25,000,000 for one-time, non-renewable grants to CoCs to 
support the system-level changes needed to improve coordination 
to address housing-related supportive services and improve 
access to health services, particularly for chronically 
homeless individuals. These funds are intended to provide 
flexible support to bolster CoC capacity and may be used to 
address a wide range of costs, such as staffing increases, 
training to support interagency coordination and benefit 
design, system or process changes to support Medicaid billing 
and payment requirements, and data integration needs. In 
implementing this new grant, the Committee directs the 
Department to assess leveraged resources in a manner that 
ensures smaller communities are not excluded or disadvantaged 
when determining whether amounts are ``significant'' for 
purposes of competing for this funding.
    To ensure that service providers can offer competitive 
wages to hire and retain qualified personnel, the Committee 
recommendation for the CoC program includes $47,000,000 to 
support reasonable cost of living adjustments for supportive 
service line items, and directs the Secretary to provide such 
increases.
    Permanent Supportive Housing.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $100,000,000 for grants to CoCs for the construction, 
acquisition, or rehabilitation of new permanent supportive 
housing. These funds are largely intended to be one-time 
grants, but up to 20 percent of a grant may be used for 
operational and supportive costs which will be eligible for 
renewal within the context of the overall CoC competition. The 
Committee encourages HUD and CoCs to leverage these funds with 
other sources, such as tax credits and project-based rental 
assistance, to maximize the amount of housing that can be 
directed to meeting the needs of homeless individuals and 
families, especially those who are unsheltered or seeking to 
exit emergency shelter.
    Addressing the Needs of Survivors of Domestic Violence.--
The Committee recommendation continues to provide no less than 
$52,000,000 in CoC grants for rapid re-housing projects and 
supportive service projects providing coordinated entry and 
other critical activities in order to assist survivors of 
domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. As grants 
through the CoC program, such projects are eligible for renewal 
and subject to the same terms and conditions as other renewal 
applicants in the CoC program.
    Unaccompanied Women.--The Committee recognizes the 
population of unaccompanied women experiencing homelessness is 
increasing nationwide. In order to improve the understanding 
and identification of the unique needs of such women at initial 
intake, the Committee encourages the Department to work with 
victim-service providers and CoCs to develop best practices and 
urges the Department to incorporate such best practices in the 
technical assistance and trainings it provides on trauma-
informed care
    Youth Homelessness.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$107,000,000 to continue implementation of comprehensive 
approaches to serving homeless youth, of which up to 
$10,000,000 shall be used to provide technical assistance to 
grantees, and of which up to $25,000,000 shall be for youth 
homelessness system improvement [YHSI] grants. YHSI grants are 
intended to improve youth homelessness systems on a local level 
and help implement successful, evidence-based intervention 
methods for this population. The Committee prohibits the use of 
YHSI funds for direct services or housing. When determining 
YHSI funding allocations, the Committee expects the Department 
to adjust the funding level between YHSI and additional 
projects serving youth based on the level of interest in the 
next competition cycle for YHSI and the youth homelessness 
demonstration program. The Committee encourages HUD to 
incorporate the following components as objectives for YHSI 
grantees: youth collaboration in project design and 
implementation, including establishment of local youth advisory 
boards; quality data collection, management, utilization, and 
evaluation; direct coordination and communication with service 
providers; cross-system partnerships including juvenile 
justice, child welfare, and education systems; and prevention 
and diversion strategies. The Committee directs HUD to ensure 
that sufficient technical assistance resources and equal 
consideration for YHSI grants are provided to rural areas.
    Clarifying Eligibility and Documentation Requirements for 
Homeless Youth.--The Committee continues to include language 
that waives the requirement for youth ages 24 and under to 
provide third-party documentation to receive housing and 
supportive services within the CoC. The Committee encourages 
the Department to continue to clarify program requirements 
through guidance, notice, and webcasts as appropriate.
    Tribal Participation.--The Committee recommendation 
provides additional flexibilities to Tribes and TDHEs to enable 
their increased participation in homeless assistance programs, 
which was made eligible by the Consolidated Appropriations Act 
of 2021 (Public Law 116-260), and directs HUD to continue to 
provide guidance or trainings to support such participation.
    Transitional Housing.--The Committee notes that 
successfully meeting the needs of differing homeless 
subpopulations requires varying approaches. The Committee 
reminds HUD and service providers that well-designed 
transitional housing can be an effective and successful housing 
strategy for homeless youth and individuals in substance abuse 
treatment.
    Homeless Management Information Systems [HMIS].--The 
Committee previously directed HUD to work with CoCs, people who 
have experienced homelessness, vendors, and other stakeholders 
to enable a standard report of all currently active individuals 
and key program information that is available to CoCs to inform 
real-time decisions, and to specify application programming 
interface requirements and other specifications so CoCs can 
better share information and ensure privacy and security for 
more effective real-time program management. The Committee 
directs HUD to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of this act on the 
result of this engagement, recommendations for future data 
standards and HUD system updates, and how HUD intends to work 
with HMIS software vendors and CoCs to address structural and 
financial barriers impeding CoCs' ability to utilize their data 
to rehouse those experiencing homelessness in their 
communities.
    Biennial Competition.--Section 242 of Public Law 118-42 
authorized HUD to issue a 2-year NOFO for fiscal years 2024 and 
2025. This change will allow CoCs to redirect the thousands of 
hours that would have been spent on the application process for 
fiscal year 2025 funding to direct service delivery. The 
Committee directs the Department to brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations no later than 60 days after the 
announcement of the fiscal year 2025 CoC awards on the total 
adjustments made for fair market rent and cost of living 
increases, the changes associated with expiring and replacement 
grants, and recommendations for process improvements for any 
future noncompetitive renewal years.
    Point-in-Time Count.--The Committee reminds HUD that the 
joint explanatory statement accompanying the fiscal year 2023 
appropriations act directed the Department to report to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the viability 
of creating a digital point-in-time count data collection and 
analysis platform for communities to use. Additionally, the 
Committee directs HUD to include data on the population of 
homeless individuals and households who are elderly and near 
elderly in its annual point-in-time estimates to improve 
national understanding of the aging homeless population and the 
implications for Federal policy.
    Annual Homeless Assessment Report [AHAR].--The Committee 
continues to direct HUD to incorporate additional Federal data 
on homelessness, particularly as it relates to youth 
homelessness, into the AHAR. This information is important to 
ensure that communities develop and implement policies that 
respond to local needs.
    Emergency Shelters and Supportive Services.--The Committee 
underscores the importance of housing options for building 
pathways to long-term housing stability, such as through well-
designed rapid re-housing, transitional housing, or permanent 
supportive housing models. However, the Committee is concerned 
that in placing an appropriate emphasis on long-term solutions, 
the more immediate needs of individuals and families in 
emergency shelters may be overlooked. Emergency shelters are 
most effective when shelter operations are combined with onsite 
and robust supportive services to best position shelter 
residents for successfully exiting the system into long-term 
stable housing. Therefore, the Committee directs HUD to review 
agency guidance regarding the use of Homeless Assistance Grants 
funds in emergency shelters and identify regulatory or 
statutory measures that may potentially undermine either the 
direct provision of supportive services or the effective 
partnership with other Federal, State, or local stakeholders 
and service providers. The Department is directed to submit a 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
within 90 days of the enactment of this act on its findings.

                            Housing Programs


                    PROJECT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2024.................................... $16,010,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................  16,686,000,000
Committee recommendation................................  16,654,000,000

Note: Amounts for fiscal year 2024 include $2,000,000,000 in emergency-
designated funding. The Committee recommendation for fiscal year 2025 
includes $3,000,000,000 in emergency-designated funding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Section 8 project-based rental assistance provides a rental 
subsidy to a private landlord that is tied to a specific 
housing unit, as opposed to a voucher, which allows a recipient 
to seek a unit, subject primarily to certain rent caps. Amounts 
in this account include funding for the renewal of and 
amendments to expiring section 8 project-based contracts, 
including section 8 moderate rehabilitation, and single room 
occupancy housing. This account also provides funds for 
contract administrators.
    The section 8 project-based rental assistance [PBRA] 
program supports approximately 17,700 contracts with private 
owners of multifamily housing. Through this program, HUD and 
private sector partners support the preservation of safe, 
stable, and sanitary housing for approximately 1.3 million low-
income households. Without PBRA, many affordable housing 
projects would convert to market rates with large rent 
increases that current tenants would be unable to afford.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$16,654,000,000 for annual PBRA contract renewals and related 
activities, of which up to $492,000,000 is for the cost of 
contract administrators, $10,000,000 is for budget-based rent 
increases to certain project-based contracts, and $25,000,000 
is for direct loans for distressed properties. The recommended 
level of funding is $644,000,000 above the amount provided in 
fiscal year 2024 and $32,000,000 below the budget request.
    Performance-Based Contract Administrators.--Performance-
based contract administrators [PBCAs] are PHAs, or their 
instrumentalities, and State housing finance agencies [HFAs], 
and are responsible for conducting on-site management reviews 
of assisted properties; adjusting contract rents; and 
reviewing, processing, and paying monthly vouchers submitted by 
owners, among other tasks. The Committee notes that PBCAs are 
integral to the Department's efforts to be more effective and 
efficient in the oversight and monitoring of this program in 
order to reduce improper payments, protect tenants, and ensure 
properties are well maintained. There are current PBCAs that 
have demonstrated success in providing high quality program 
services and have valuable experience in administering 
affordable housing resources in the States in which they 
operate. The Committee recognizes that HUD has faced a 
complicated task of developing new PBCA arrangements before the 
current ones expire in 2025. The bill includes a modified 
version of the general provision in the President's budget 
request to help address the challenges in a new competition and 
directs HUD to ensure that any new arrangements result in 
improved and cost-effective oversight and monitoring of the 
PBRA program; quality services offered to property owners and 
tenants in each State; and the maintenance of safe, stable, and 
affordable housing for the approximately 1.3 million households 
living in PBRA properties across the country. HUD is directed 
to continue to work with relevant stakeholders and 
congressional committees on a permanent statutory framework for 
PBCAs. Additionally, the Committee recognizes that tenants can 
serve a valuable role in identifying potential problems with 
the physical condition of a property. The Committee urges HUD 
to assess the effectiveness of using resident surveys as a tool 
to help PBCAs conduct effective oversight.
    Oversight of Property Owners.--The Committee places a 
priority on providing access to safe, sanitary, and affordable 
housing to those most in need. If owners fail to uphold these 
standards, HUD should hold them accountable. The Committee 
continues to include a general provision requiring the 
Department to take specific steps to ensure that serious 
defects are quickly addressed. This provision requires the 
Secretary to take specific actions if an owner fails to 
maintain its property, including imposing civil monetary 
penalties, securing a different owner for the property, or 
transferring the section 8 contract to another property.
    Managing Troubled Properties.--The Committee remains 
concerned for tenants enduring deplorable living conditions 
that risk their health and safety, as a result of delayed or 
inaccurate REAC inspections of troubled properties and HUD's 
inability to track property owners under litigation for failure 
to maintain decent, safe, and sanitary housing. The Committee 
continues to include a general provision requiring HUD to 
report on properties with failing physical inspection scores of 
less than 60 or that have received an unsatisfactory management 
and occupancy review within the past 36 months to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations. The Committee continues to 
direct HUD to include in this report data on project-based 
rental assistance program properties and units that have exited 
the programs as a result of contract abatement from poor 
physical conditions or for other reasons and to identify if the 
properties and units are preserved through a transfer to other 
properties or are lost.
    Improving Properties with Health, Safety, or Operational 
Deficiencies.--The Committee strongly supports preserving the 
PBRA affordable housing stock. To that end, the Committee 
includes $10,000,000 for HUD to provide budget-based rent 
adjustments to PBRA contracts that have been renewed through 
the mark-to-market [M2M] program and are distressed or at risk 
of becoming distressed. In utilizing this additional funding, 
the Department shall prioritize properties that meet all of the 
following conditions: rents below 80 percent of fair market 
rent; REAC scores below 70; and designated as troubled or 
potentially troubled. The Committee reiterates the importance 
of maintaining properties in a decent, safe, and sanitary 
condition and directs HUD to ensure the rent adjustments will 
help address the operational and/or physical needs of the 
properties and help improve living conditions for tenants.
    The Committee notes that HUD issued a notice in February 
2024 on the process for making the first round of budget-based 
rent adjustments following the statutory authority provided in 
fiscal year 2023. The Committee directs HUD to provide a 
briefing to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
within 45 days of enactment of this act on the dollar amount 
and number of funding requests received under this notice, as 
well as HUD's property selection process, and planned oversight 
of properties following the rent adjustments. Further, the 
Committee again reminds HUD of the directive included in the 
fiscal year 2023 joint explanatory statement to assess the 
needs amongst post-M2M properties and other PBRA properties 
with health and safety deficiencies, and to provide the results 
of this assessment to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations.
    Finally, to assist distressed PBRA properties that are 
already at market rate rents but still need additional capital 
to address the causes of their distress, the Committee provides 
$25,000,000 for HUD to make direct loans to owners of such PBRA 
properties to support rehabilitation or replacement. In 
utilizing this funding, HUD shall target the most distressed 
inventory, incorporate resident consultation requirements in 
the application process, and provide monitoring over the life 
cycle of the loan.
    Survivors of Domestic Violence or Sexual Assault.--GAO 
recently issued a report [GAO-24-106481] identifying 
opportunities for HUD to improve its oversight of housing 
providers' emergency transfers for relocating victims of 
domestic violence or sexual assault. Of the seven 
recommendations, three apply directly to PBRA properties and 
involve HUD taking action to provide written instructions to 
PBRA property owners on implementing emergency transfers, 
revising the management and occupancy review form, and 
collecting data. HUD is directed to close these recommendations 
quickly to ensure compliance with the Violence Against Women 
Act requirements, and to protect survivors in HUD-assisted 
rental housing.

                        HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $913,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     931,400,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,046,400,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides funding for housing for the elderly 
pursuant to section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959 (Public Law 
86-372). Under this program, the Department provides capital 
grants to eligible entities for the acquisition, 
rehabilitation, or construction of housing for seniors, as well 
as project-based rental assistance contracts [PRACs] to support 
the operational costs of such units. Tenants living in section 
202 supportive housing units can access a variety of community-
based services in order to continue living independently in 
their communities and effectively age in place.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,046,400,000 
for the section 202 program. This amount is $133,400,000 more 
than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and $115,000,000 more 
than the budget request. The Committee's recommendation 
includes: $813,400,000 for the costs associated with fully 
funding all annual PRAC renewals and amendments; $115,000,000 
for new capital advances and PRACs; $115,000,000 to fund the 
renewal of existing for service coordinators and congregate 
service grants and; $3,000,000 for contract services.
    Service Coordinators.--The Committee directs HUD to review 
the distribution of section 202 service coordinators amongst 
States with the oldest populations according Census Bureau data 
and the availability of eligible multifamily properties in 
those States that could qualify for the service coordinator 
program. As part of this review, HUD should assess if these 
areas are underserved by the service coordinator program and if 
program expansion funding should be prioritized to these 
States. HUD is directed to provide this review to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations within 1 year of enactment 
of this act.

                 HOUSING FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $208,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     256,700,000
Committee recommendation................................     256,700,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides funding for housing for persons with 
disabilities pursuant to section 811 of the Cranston-Gonzalez 
National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-625). 
Traditionally, the section 811 program provided capital grants 
to eligible entities for the acquisition, rehabilitation, or 
construction of housing for persons with disabilities, as well 
as PRACs to support the operational costs of such units. Since 
fiscal year 2012, HUD has transitioned to providing project 
rental assistance to State housing finance agencies or other 
appropriate entities, which act in partnership with State 
health and human services agencies to provide supportive 
services, as authorized by the Frank Melville Supportive 
Housing Investment Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-374).

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $256,700,000 
for the section 811 program. This amount is equal to the budget 
request and $48,700,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
level. This level of funding, in addition to residual receipts, 
recaptures, and other unobligated balances, will support all 
project-based renewals and amendments.

                     HOUSING COUNSELING ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $57,500,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      57,500,000
Committee recommendation................................      57,500,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The housing counseling assistance program provides 
comprehensive housing counseling services to eligible 
homeowners and tenants through grants to non-profit 
intermediaries, State government entities, and other local and 
national agencies. Eligible counseling activities include: pre- 
and post-purchase education, personal financial management, 
reverse mortgage product education, foreclosure prevention and 
mitigation, and rental counseling.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $57,500,000 
for housing counseling assistance, which is equal to the fiscal 
year 2024 enacted level and the budget request. Of the amount 
provided, up to $4,500,000 is available for administrative 
contract services. The Committee directs HUD to use not less 
than $3,000,000 of the funds provided for the housing 
counseling grant program specifically for housing counseling 
agencies to partner with historically black colleges and 
universities, Tribal colleges and universities, and other MSIs. 
Up to $5,000,000 may be used to continue the homeownership 
initiative targeted to historically underserved communities, 
including Asian-Pacific, Latino, Black, Alaska Native, Native 
Hawaiian, Tribal, and rural communities. Outreach efforts must 
include culturally sensitive and linguistically appropriate 
service delivery, materials, and educational initiatives.

            PAYMENT TO MANUFACTURED HOUSING FEES TRUST FUND

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $14,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      14,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      14,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety 
Standards Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-383), as amended by the 
Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-
569), authorizes the Secretary to establish Federal standards 
for the construction, design, safety, and performance of 
manufactured homes. All manufactured homes are required to meet 
these Federal standards, and fees are charged to producers to 
cover the costs of administering the act.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $14,000,000 to support the 
manufactured housing standards programs, of which $14,000,000 
is expected to be derived from fees collected and deposited 
into the manufactured housing fees trust fund account. No 
direct appropriation is provided. The total amount recommended 
is equal to the budget request and equal to the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The FHA fund covers the mortgage and loan insurance 
activity of HUD mortgage/loan insurance programs. These include 
the mutual mortgage insurance [MMI] fund, cooperative 
management housing insurance [CMHI] fund, general insurance 
[GI] fund, and the special risk insurance [SRI] fund. For 
presentation and accounting control purposes, these are divided 
into two sets of accounts based on shared characteristics. The 
unsubsidized insurance programs of the MMI fund and the CMHI 
fund constitute one set; and the GI and SRI funds make up the 
other.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee has included the following amounts for the 
MMI Program account: a limitation on guaranteed loans of 
$400,000,000,000, a limitation on direct loans of $1,000,000, 
and $155,000,000 for administrative contract expenses. This 
amount for administrative contract expenses is $5,000,000 more 
than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and equal to the budget 
request. The Committee is aware that the contract expense 
estimates for MMI program may have increased since the budget 
request was submitted to the Committee, and the Department 
should update the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
of updated estimates throughout the year. For the GI/SRI 
account, the Committee recommends $35,000,000,000 as a 
limitation on guaranteed loans and a limitation on direct loans 
of $1,000,000.
    Institutional Investment in Single-Family Housing.--The 
Committee notes that in some local housing markets there are 
increasing concentrations of institutional financial investment 
in single-family housing, and that trend has the potential to 
affect local real estate markets. The Committee directs HUD to 
continue to prioritize the sale of HUD owned single-family 
homes to owner-occupants, HUD-approved nonprofits, and 
government entities to mitigate any negative effects from 
institutional investors.
    Report on State Property Tax Impact on Homeownership.--The 
Committee is aware that in certain States, increased property 
tax rates are making it harder for homeowners to stay in their 
homes and for prospective homeowners to purchase a new home. 
The FHA should provide a briefing to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 120 days of enactment of 
this act on the impact of increasing property taxes on 
homeowners and prospective homeowners.
    Energy Audits.--The Committee notes that FHA's single 
family housing handbook 4000.1 requires the incorporation of 
energy audits into home appraisals for special energy-related 
component that affect the value of the property. The FHA is 
directed to brief the House and Senate Committee on 
Appropriations on the impact these energy audits can have on 
home appraisal values.
    Affordable Housing Finance.--The Committee is concerned 
about the diminished supply of affordable housing across the 
country and is supportive of efforts and initiatives that 
result in measurable increases in that supply. The Section 
542(c) Housing Finance Agency risk-sharing initiative has been 
in place since 2021 and warrants broader evaluation to 
understand the extent to which it has increased housing supply. 
The Committee directs the GAO to review this initiative and 
submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of this act. This 
review should include at a minimum: the number of loans funded 
and geographic interest in this initiative; the underwriting 
standards applicable through this initiative compared to other 
similar FHA-insured loans outside of this initiative; the 
differences between HUD's multifamily accelerated processing 
guide [MAP Guide] and the guidelines for a HFA-underwritten 
loan, including an analysis of if MAP Guide results in higher 
costs and longer production time when creating affordable 
housing when compared to the requirements of an HFA-
underwritten loan; if the lower borrowing costs through this 
initiative results in lower rents to families; the extent to 
which this initiative has resulted in the production of more 
housing units rather than shifting production from one sector 
to another; and the oversight requirements applicable under 
this initiative compared to non-initiative financing.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Ginnie Mae, through the mortgage-backed securities 
program, guarantees privately issued securities backed by pools 
of Government-guaranteed mortgages. Ginnie Mae is a wholly 
owned corporate instrumentality of the United States within the 
Department. Its powers are prescribed generally by title III of 
the National Housing Act (Public Law 73-479), as amended. 
Ginnie Mae is authorized by section 306(g) of the National 
Housing Act to guarantee the timely payment of principal and 
interest on securities that are based on and backed by a trust, 
or pool, composed of mortgages that are guaranteed and insured 
by FHA, the Rural Housing Service, or the VA. Ginnie Mae's 
guarantee of mortgage-backed securities is backed by the full 
faith and credit of the United States. This account also funds 
all salaries and benefits funding to support Ginnie Mae.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation on new commitments on 
mortgage-backed securities of $550,000,000,000. This level is 
equal to the budget request and the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
level. The bill allows Ginnie Mae to use $67,000,000 for 
salaries and expenses. This is $13,000,000 more than the fiscal 
year 2024 enacted level and equal to the budget request. The 
Committee directs Ginnie Mae to submit quarterly data to the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on staffing 
levels, staffing expenses, and other non-personnel expenses.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Title V of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 
(Public Law 91-609), 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. Additionally, 
this appropriation is used to support HUD evaluation and 
monitoring activities and to conduct housing surveys.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $149,500,000 
for the research and technology account in fiscal year 2025. 
This level is $10,500,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 
enacted level and $6,000,000 less than the budget request.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations for fiscal year 2025:

      Total..........................................       145,000,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Core Research and Technology.--The Committee 
recommendations includes not less than $71,500,000 for core 
research and technology, of which $5,000,000 is for cooperative 
agreements and research partnerships with minority serving 
institutions, including Tribal colleges and universities, Asian 
American and Native Pacific Islander serving institutions, 
historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic serving 
institutions, and other minority serving institutions.
    Research, Evaluation, and Demonstration.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $8,000,000 for research, evaluation, 
and demonstration. Included in this total is funding for 
ongoing research on moving to work [MTW] expansion, and the 
community choice demonstration.
    In addition, HUD shall fund the following new research 
projects: expanding the eligible uses of HCV housing assistance 
payments; State and local public financing models to produce 
affordable housing; use of HOME-ARP and State and local fiscal 
recovery funds for housing supply; updating the HUD code; 
property insurance rates and resiliency upgrades; HUD-assisted 
households and workforce development programs; evaluation of 
the foster youth to independence initiative; and a study on the 
disaster-impacted renters and rental markets, to be conducted 
by the NAPA.
    State Mapping.--The Committee supports the Department's 
ongoing research partnership on geospatial repository of zoning 
conditions to analyze the correlations between zoning and 
housing conditions, in cooperation with the national zoning 
atlas. HUD is directed to brief the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations on this work within 90 days of enactment of 
this act, and encourages HUD to invite further research 
partnership efforts to map and digitize zoning jurisdictions in 
large States with a significant share of the Nation's total 
zoning jurisdictions and with low home availability and 
affordability rates for low-income and extremely-low income 
households.
    Disaster-Impacted Renters and Rental Markets.--The 
Committee is concerned insufficient attention is being paid to 
renter household needs and rental market forces following 
natural disasters. Recent analysis shows that rents in 
disaster-impacted communities rise and then remain higher than 
their original rates for years. These impacts are amplified in 
already constrained rental markets, especially when communities 
are hit by successive disasters. Without adequate and 
thoughtful intervention, these market impacts can lead to 
secondary displacement of other vulnerable renter households 
who were not directly affected by the disaster. Within the 
funds provided for research, evaluation, and demonstration, 
HUD, in coordination with and after consulting the Federal 
Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], is directed to contract 
with NAPA, no later than 30 days after the date of enactment of 
this act, to study this issue. The Committee expects HUD and 
FEMA to share the contract cost, with HUD being the lead agency 
to coordinate with FEMA to let the NAPA contract. The study 
shall be overseen by a panel of experts, to examine in-depth 
how renters and rental markets have recovered from recent major 
disasters, with a special focus on disasters that involve long 
displacement times for a large number of renter households. The 
study should consider the roles of the insurance industry, 
FEMA, HUD, Small Business Administration [SBA], and State and 
local governments as they relate to: (1) addressing the 
temporary and long-term housing needs and the recovery of 
impacted renters; (2) how the disaster and disaster response 
impacts other renters in the housing market; and (3) the 
replacement of lost affordable rental housing inventory. The 
Committee recommends that the expert panel include the 
experience and expertise of former FEMA, HUD, and SBA leaders, 
expertise in research and advocacy for displaced renters and 
impacted single-family and multi-family rental property owners; 
insurance and reinsurance industry; support services for those 
at risk of homelessness; and State and local emergency 
management and long-term recovery. From that review, NAPA 
should make recommendations on reforms to guide FEMA, HUD, and 
SBA that would, in coordination with the insurance industry, 
facilitate affordable, faster, inclusive, and resilient 
recovery for renters, and include guidance on improving how 
Federal, State and local governments monitor rental market 
trends to inform disaster recovery policy decisions. NAPA 
should submit a report with its findings, conclusions, and 
recommendations no later than 1 year after the Departments have 
contracted with NAPA pursuant to this directive. NAPA should 
communicate with the GAO and the National Academy of Sciences 
over the course of its study and review previous studies to 
prevent duplication of effort.
    Technical Assistance.--The Committee recommendation 
includes up to $50,000,000 for technical assistance. Of this 
amount, up to $5,000,000 is for the distressed cities and 
persistent poverty technical assistance program. The Committee 
directs HUD to assess how it can improve technical assistance 
to State and local entities to access Federal housing resources 
across the country and make recommendations on best practices 
and the Federal support necessary to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of 
this act.
    Evictions.--The Committee appreciates HUD's 2021 report on 
the feasibility of creating a national database of residential 
rental evictions. The report identified ongoing efforts to 
collect and analyze eviction data at State and local levels, 
but acknowledged the high cost and complexity of creating a 
national database. The Committee invites HUD to consider this 
topic when soliciting research partnerships in order to 
increase the availability of data and research related to 
evictions. HUD should also update the Committee on any follow-
up steps it has taken since the 2021 report was provided to the 
Committee.
    Institutional Investors.--The Committee remains interested 
in the feasibility of HUD collecting data related to investor 
owned residential rental housing units, and looks forward to 
receiving the assessment required in Senate Report 118-70.
    Fair Market Rents [FMRs].--While the Committee remains 
concerned about the timeliness of HUD's FMR determinations, it 
appreciates efforts undertaken by the Department to expand the 
use of data sources that inform those determinations. The 
Committee strongly encourages HUD, to the extent permissible 
under current regulations, to set FMRs at no lower than the 
previous year's level for an FMR area, unless the Department 
has sufficient local data to justify such a change and 
encourages HUD to continue its progress toward reforming the 
process of setting FMRs. Data limitations that result in 
inadequate FMR levels for communities and families undercut the 
mission of the voucher program, and these impacts are 
especially concerning in areas that lack the third-party data 
sources HUD has identified to supplement its FMR data. In 
response to these challenges and in addition to HUD's on-going 
FMR improvement efforts, the Committee directs the Department 
to consider and assess the merits and potential operational 
concerns of permitting state housing finance agencies to 
support calculations of FMR levels. Additionally, this 
assessment should focus on the potential of permitting this 
flexibility only where there is a lack of either HUD or third-
party data to make local FMR determinations. The Committee 
directs HUD to report its finding to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 120 days of enactment of 
this act.
    Conversion of Office Buildings to Housing.--The Committee 
commends the administration's efforts to support the conversion 
of high-vacancy commercial buildings into residential use, 
including by producing a guidebook of available Federal 
resources. In order to better support communities in their 
adaptive reuse efforts, HUD is encouraged to help local 
jurisdictions with high housing costs to develop a building 
inventory, in coordination with local planning departments, to 
determine which commercial properties are most suitable for 
residential conversion.
    Individuals With Autism.--HUD's 2022 report on supportive 
services for individuals with autism noted that there is 
currently little research about the effects of different 
housing options on outcomes and quality of life for people with 
autism, despite the great need for housing support services for 
people with autism. Further, the report notes that homelessness 
among the autistic population is a growing cause for concern 
and that U.S.-based research is needed to inform our 
understanding of the incidence of people on the autism spectrum 
experiencing homelessness and ways to better support these 
individuals. The Committee encourages HUD to continue its 
research activities on improving housing outcomes for 
individuals with autism.
    Master Leasing Models.--Master leasing models, where a 
homelessness services provider or a CoC leases a whole building 
or a block of units from a property owner's portfolio to 
provide housing to persons experiencing homelessness, have been 
shown to remove critical barriers to housing people. However, 
some existing HUD regulations have made the model 
administratively burdensome to operationalize. The Committee 
directs the Department to submit a report to the House and 
Senate Appropriations Committees on master leasing models 
across the country and provide an assessment with 
recommendations on how the Department can adjust its 
regulations to better accommodate this innovative model.
    Off-Site Construction.--The Committee supports efforts to 
incentivize the use of off-site construction through local 
adoption of and improvements to off-site construction 
standards. Such construction can help increase housing supply, 
affordability, and accessibility. In addition, the Committee 
encourages HUD to conduct research on the impact of regulatory 
inconsistencies in off-site construction regulation across the 
United States.
    Community Choice Demonstration Program.--The Committee 
anticipates the completion of phase I and the published rapid 
cycle evaluation report in 2025, and requests that HUD brief 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its 
findings related to the outcomes of phase I of the 
demonstration.

                   Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity


                        FAIR HOUSING ACTIVITIES

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $86,355,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      86,400,000
Committee recommendation................................      86,400,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The fair housing activities appropriation includes funding 
for both the fair housing assistance program [FHAP] and the 
fair housing initiatives program [FHIP], among others.
    FHAP assists State and local fair housing agencies with 
implementing title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Public 
Law 90-284), as amended, which prohibits discrimination in the 
sale, rental, and financing of housing and in the provision of 
brokerage services. The major objective of the program is to 
ensure prompt and effective processing of title VIII 
complaints, with appropriate remedies for complaints being 
provided by State and local fair housing agencies.
    FHIP is authorized by section 561 of the Housing and 
Community Development Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-242), as 
amended, and by section 905 of the Housing and Community 
Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-550). This program 
provides support to public and private organizations for the 
purpose of eliminating or preventing discrimination in housing, 
and enhances fair housing opportunities.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $86,400,000 
for the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. This 
amount is equal to the budget request and $45,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2024 enacted level. Of the amounts provided: (1) 
$26,400,000 is for FHAP; (2) $56,000,000 is for FHIP, including 
not less than $10,400,000 for education and outreach programs 
and not less than $3,700,000 for fair housing organization 
initiatives; (3) $1,000,000 is for the creation, promotion, and 
dissemination of translated materials that support the 
assistance of persons with limited English proficiency; and (4) 
$3,000,000 is for the national fair housing training academy.
    Test Coordinator Training.--The Committee recognizes that 
testing remains one of the most effective investigative tools 
and is fundamental to fair housing law enforcement. Those who 
coordinate testing investigations need specialized training 
from skilled and experienced professionals in this field. HUD 
shall continue to implement a comprehensive test coordinator 
training program to provide ongoing training, technical 
assistance, and resources to test coordinators working in fair 
housing organizations throughout the country. HUD shall not 
merge existing test 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)

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $345,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     350,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     345,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 
1992 (Public Law 102-550) established the Residential Lead-
Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, under which HUD is authorized 
to make grants to States, localities, and Tribes in order to 
conduct lead-based paint hazard remediation and abatement 
activities in private, low-income housing. Lead is a 
significant environmental health hazard, particularly for young 
children and pregnant women, and exposure can result in 
neurological damage, learning disabilities, and impaired 
growth. The healthy homes initiative, which was authorized 
under sections 501 and 502 of the Housing and Urban Development 
Act of 1970 (Public Law 91-609), provides grants to remediate 
hazards in housing that have been scientifically shown to 
negatively impact occupant health and safety.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $345,000,000 for the lead hazard 
reduction account, which is $5,000,000 less than the budget 
request and equal to the fiscal year 2024 enacted level.
    Unobligated Balances.--The Committee continues to direct 
the Department to provide the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations with updated reports on all unobligated balances 
for each program following each funding competition award 
announcement. The Committee continues to closely monitor 
balances, program subscription rates, and funding reallocations 
between undersubscribed and oversubscribed programs to inform 
funding decisions.
    Lead Hazard Reduction Grants.--The Committee recommendation 
provides $200,000,000 for lead hazard reduction grants, which 
is equal to the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and budget 
request. Within this amount, $105,000,000 is set aside for 
jurisdictions with the highest lead-based paint abatement 
needs, which is equal to the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and 
$5,000,000 above the budget request. The Committee does not 
approve the request to allocate funds to jurisdictions with the 
highest need for lead hazard reduction grants by formula, but 
supports the Department's goal of streamlining the selection 
and award process. The Committee directs HUD to continue to 
work with stakeholders and its authorizing committees as it 
develops this proposal and to solicit public input on program 
design.
    In the interim, the Committee directs the Department to 
continue to conduct outreach and improve the NOFOs to encourage 
more grantees to apply and make efficient use of lead hazard 
reduction grant funds. The Committee directs the Department to 
include in such outreach smaller and rural communities, and 
nonprofit organizations and community development financial 
institutions [CDFIs] interested in being co-applicants. The 
Committee directs the Department to brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of 
this act on such outreach, major participation barriers 
identified, whether those barriers are administrative or 
statutory in nature, and how CDFI lending capabilities can be 
leveraged to increase the pace at which low-income communities 
can address lead paint hazards in high-risk communities.
    Lead Interagency Coordination.--The Committee reminds HUD 
of an outstanding requirement from Senate Report 118-70 to 
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its 
data sharing needs with the EPA related to lead service line 
inventories.
    Lead Risk Assessment.--The Committee reminds OLHCHH and PIH 
of the outstanding requirement from Public Law 118-42 to 
jointly engage with PHAs and other stakeholders to understand 
why so few applications were submitted for the lead risk 
assessment demonstration and brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the findings of this 
engagement.
    Aging-in-Place.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$40,000,000 within the healthy homes initiative for aging-in-
place home modification grants in order to enable low-income 
seniors (persons who are 62 years of age or older) to remain in 
their homes through low-cost, high-impact home modifications. 
The recommendation is $10,000,000 more than the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level and equal to the budget request. The 
intended beneficiaries of these grants are low-income seniors 
living in homes that are not receiving project-based rental 
assistance, and HUD shall ensure the use of funds appropriated 
will reflect that intent.
    The Committee recommendation includes language to 
streamline the environmental review process for these low-cost 
interventions and directs HUD to take several other common-
sense actions to improve the impact of these grants. HUD is 
directed to adjust the current $5,000 cap on the cost of home 
modifications per housing unit to account for annual changes in 
the cost of labor, materials and supplies. In designing the 
NOFO for this program, the Committee continues to encourage the 
use of successful models of low-barrier, participant-led, 
holistic approaches to aging-in-place. However, the Committee 
is concerned that the Department's required use of occupational 
therapists in the program services model is not practical or 
necessary for all communities, and excludes other successful 
models that have helped form the Committee's appreciation for 
the value of these investments, including the State of Maine's 
community aging-in-place grant program. Thus, the Committee 
directs the Department to accept without additional 
justification alternative program services models that do not 
require occupational therapists for grants awarded with fiscal 
year 2025 funds or balances remaining from prior years. 
Applicants that propose an alternative model shall not be 
disadvantaged during the application and selection process on 
that basis. The Committee continues to direct HUD to track the 
outcomes of seniors whose homes have been modified in order to 
better understand the effectiveness of this funding in reducing 
at-home falls, hospitalizations, and emergency response calls, 
as well as improving independence and tenure in home over time. 
The Committee also encourages HUD to support research and 
technical studies on housing technologies that enable aging-in-
place strategies within the amounts available for healthy homes 
technical studies.
    Weatherization Assistance Program.--The Committee reminds 
the Department of its responsibility to continue collecting 
information on how many units benefit from this coordinated 
execution of HUD lead-based paint hazard control grants and the 
Department of Energy weatherization assistance program, to 
quantify how this coordination has reduced costs for hardware 
and labor, and to provide this information to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations after the end of each grant 
cycle. The Committee looks forward to receiving the first such 
report in the near future and encourages the Department to 
highlight best practices in coordination that can be integrated 
into grant management practices.

                      Office of Inspector General

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $152,924,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     160,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     160,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of Inspector General conducts independent 
investigations, audits, and evaluations not only to prevent and 
detect fraud, waste, and abuse, but also to promote efficiency 
and effectiveness in the programs and operations of the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development. This appropriation 
will finance all salaries and related expenses associated with 
the operation of the Office of Inspector General.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $160,000,000 
for the Office of Inspector General, which is equal to the 
budget request and $7,076,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 
enacted level. This funding level is sufficient to sustain 
support for the 520 FTE authorized in fiscal year 2024, 
adjustments to base funding to maintain current services, as 
well as one-time costs related to technology refresh 
requirements and space consolidations.
    Audit Reports.--The Committee expects the Office of 
Inspector General to continue providing copies of all audit 
reports to the Committee immediately after they are issued and 
to make the Committee aware immediately of any review which 
recommends significant budgetary savings.
    Contracting Audits of Annual Financial Statements.--The 
Committee directs the Office of the Inspector General to 
continue to procure and rely upon the services of an 
independent external auditor, or auditors, to audit the 
financial statements of the Department, including the financial 
statements of the FHA and Ginnie Mae.

               General Provisions--Department of Housing 
                         and Urban Development


                        (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Budget estimate, 2025...................................       9,955,000
Committee recommendation................................       9,955,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Access Board is responsible for developing design 
guidelines for the build environment, transit vehicles, 
information communications technology, and medical diagnostic 
equipment under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 
(Public Law 101-336) and other laws. The Access Board also 
enforces the Architectural Barriers Act, ensuring accessibility

national parks, post offices, social security offices, and 
prisons. In addition, the Access Board provides training and 
technical assistance on its guidelines and standards to Federal 
agencies, public and private organizations, individuals, and 
businesses.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $9,955,000 for the operations of 
the Access Board. This level of funding is equal to the budget 
request and the fiscal year 2024 enacted level.

                      Federal Maritime Commission

Budget estimate, 2025...................................      48,452,000
Committee recommendation................................      45,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal Maritime Commission [FMC] is an independent 
regulatory agency, which administers the Shipping Act of 1984 
(Public Law 98-237), as amended by the Ocean Shipping Reform 
Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-258); section 19 of the Merchant 
Marine Act of 1920 (41 Stat. 998); the Foreign Shipping 
Practices Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-418); Public Law 89-777; 
and the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 (OSRA 2022, Public 
Law 117-146).
    The FMC's mission is to foster a fair, efficient, and 
reliable international ocean transportation system and to 
protect the public from unfair and deceptive practices. To 
accomplish this mission, the FMC regulates the international 
waterborne commerce of the United States. In addition, the FMC 
has responsibility for licensing and bonding ocean 
transportation intermediaries and for ensuring that vessel 
owners or operators establish financial responsibility to pay 
judgments for death or injury to passengers, or nonperformance 
of a cruise, on voyages from United States ports.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for the salaries and 
expenses of the FMC for fiscal year 2025 which is $5,000,000 
more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level and $3,452,000 
less than the budget request.
    Staffing and IT.--To implement the new authorities and 
requirements of OSRA 2022, the FMC has initiated a multiyear 
staffing effort. Of the amount provided, $2,000,000 shall 
remain available until September 30, 2026 to provide additional 
flexibility in the sequencing of hiring actions. The Committee 
is concerned the FMC is not increasing the capacity of 
investigators to respond to additional oversight measures of 
industry as directed in OSRA 2022 and encourages the agency to 
increase additional investigative personnel as soon as possible 
to directly support audits, investigations, and enforcement 
proceedings.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of Inspector General for Amtrak was created by 
the Inspector General Act Amendment of 1988 (Public Law 100-
504). The act recognized Amtrak as a ``designated Federal 
entity'' and required the railroad to establish an independent 
and objective unit to conduct and supervise audits and 
investigations relating to the programs and operations of 
Amtrak; recommend policies designed to promote economy, 
efficiency, and effectiveness in Amtrak, and prevent and detect 
fraud and abuse; and to provide a means for keeping the Amtrak 
leadership and the Congress fully informed about problems in 
Amtrak operations and the corporation's progress in taking 
corrective action.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $32,100,000 for the 
Amtrak Office of Inspector General. This funding level is equal 
to the budget request and $2,860,000 more than the fiscal year 
2024 enacted level. The funding recommendation is sufficient to 
hire up to 114 total FTE, an increase of 8 FTE compared to the 
resources provided in fiscal year 2024, and meets other non-
payroll program costs identified in the fiscal year 2025 budget 
request. The Committee retains language that requires the 
Amtrak Office of Inspector General to submit a budget request 
in similar format and substance to those submitted by other 
executive agencies in the Federal Government.

                  National Transportation Safety Board


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $140,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     150,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     145,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Initially established along with the Department of 
Transportation, the National Transportation Safety Board [NTSB] 
commenced operations on April 1, 1967, as an independent 
Federal agency. The Board is charged by Congress with 
investigating every civil aviation accident in the United 
States, as well as significant accidents in the other modes of 
transportation railroad, highway, marine, and pipeline- and 
issuing safety recommendations aimed at preventing future 
accidents. Although it has always operated independently, NTSB 
relied on DOT for funding and administrative support until the 
Independent Safety Board Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-633) 
severed all ties between the two organizations starting in 
1975.
    In addition to its investigatory duties, NTSB is 
responsible for maintaining the Government's database of civil 
aviation accidents and also conducts special studies of 
transportation safety issues of national significance. 
Furthermore, in accordance with the provisions of international 
treaties, 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. NTSB also serves as the 
``court of appeals'' for any airman, mechanic, or mariner 
whenever certificate action is taken by the FAA or the U.S. 
Coast Guard Commandant, or when civil penalties are assessed by 
the FAA.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $145,000,000 for the NTSB, which 
is $5,000,000 less than the budget request and $5,000,000 more 
than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. The Committee is 
alarmed with private companies that have voluntarily signed a 
party agreement with the NTSB, who have the privilege of 
receiving investigative information (as defined in 59 CFR 
831.13) from the NTSB during the investigation, but have 
repeatedly violated the terms of such agreement. The Committee 
fully supports the use of the party system in NTSB's 
investigations, and directs the NTSB to notify other entities 
party to an investigation if any entity with party status 
violates the terms of the party agreement.

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $158,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     168,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     168,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation was created by 
the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation Act (Title VI of the 
Housing and Community Development Amendments of 1978, Public 
Law 95-557) and operates under the trade name ``NeighborWorks 
America''. NeighborWorks provides financial, technical, and 
training assistance to community-based organizations that work 
in partnership with community residents, the private sector, 
and local governments to promote community revitalization and 
affordable housing opportunities. These partnership-based 
organizations are independent, tax-exempt, non-profit entities, 
collectively known as the ``NeighborWorks Network.'' The 
NeighborWorks Network consists of nearly 250 local and regional 
organizations that serve almost 3,000 urban, suburban, and 
rural communities in every State, the District of Columbia, and 
Puerto Rico.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $168,000,000 for NeighborWorks, 
which is equal to the budget request and $10,000,000 more than 
the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. The Committee directs 
NeighborWorks to provide at least three days' advance notice to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to the 
announcement of any grant exceeding $50,000 that is awarded to 
a NeighborWorks Network organization.
    Rural Areas.--The Committee commends NeighborWorks' efforts 
to build capacity in rural areas and urges NeighborWorks to 
continue those initiatives.
    Multilingual Training Courses.--NeighborWorks is encouraged 
to continue to develop and offer new professional development 
and certification training courses and translated materials to 
meet the needs of the Network and support its work on minority 
homeownership.
    Shared Equity Homeownership.--The Committee directs 
NeighborWorks to work with affiliated organizations with 
extensive experience in offering shared equity homeownership 
opportunities as technical assistance providers and to continue 
to develop and enhance professional development offerings 
around shared equity housing.
    Policies and Procedures.--The Committee acknowledges that, 
as of February 2024, three of the 10 recommendations from the 
GAO-23-105944 report have been closed, and multiple actions are 
underway to address the remaining open recommendations 
regarding whistleblower, procurement, and conflict of interest 
policies. The Committee stresses the importance of moving 
forward quickly with those actions to ensure any future reports 
of wrongdoing are managed with objectivity and independence, 
and directs NeighborWorks to brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations not less than annually until all 
GAO recommendations are closed.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Surface Transportation Board [STB] was created on 
January 1, 1996, by the Interstate Commerce Commission 
Termination Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-88). The Board is a 
five-member, bipartisan, decisionally independent adjudicatory 
body, and is responsible for the regulation of the rail and 
pipeline industries and certain non-licensing regulations of 
motor carriers and water carriers.
    The STB's rail oversight activities include rate 
reasonableness, car service and interchange, mergers, line 
acquisitions, line constructions, and abandonments. The STB's 
jurisdiction also includes certain oversight of the intercity 
bus industry, pipeline carriers, intercity passenger train 
service, rate regulation involving noncontiguous domestic water 
transportation, household goods carriers, and collectively 
determined motor carrier rates.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$50,646,000. This funding level is equal to the budget request 
and $3,194,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. 
Included in the recommendation is $1,250,000 in fees, which 
will offset the appropriated funding, resulting in a final 
appropriation from the general fund estimated at no more than 
$49,396,000. This funding level will accommodate adjustments to 
base, including annualizing the 10 additional full-time 
equivalents provided in fiscal year 2024 to support the Board's 
Office of Passenger Rail, and provide the non-personnel 
expenses as requested to support the Board's mission.
    Regulatory Proceedings.--There remains a number of pending 
regulatory proceedings that would reform existing regulations 
at the STB. The Committee continues to encourage the STB to 
facilitate a timely and decisive regulatory process. For 
example, EP 704 ``Review of Commodity, Boxcar, and TOFC/COFC 
Exemptions,'' was first issued as a proposed rulemaking in 
2016. The Committee directs the STB to provide an update in 
writing to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on 
the status of the EP 704 proceeding within 90 days of the 
enactment of this act. Further, the Committee notes a board 
member vacancy exists and urges the administration to nominate 
the full complement of board members to the STB as soon as 
possible.
    Rail Rate Evaluation.--In 2015, the Transportation Research 
Board of the National Academy of Sciences issued a report 
titled ``Modernizing Freight Rail Regulation,'' as authorized 
in Section 9007 of Public Law 109-59. The report raised 
concerns with the methodology used to identify unusually high 
rail rates. Since then, the STB has taken steps to improve rate 
reasonableness. In 2020, the Board commissioned a study, issued 
in March 2022, which analyzed and evaluated alternatives to its 
current economic model. In December 2022, the Board issued two 
final rules establishing new rate reasonableness procedures 
which provide two streamlined approaches for shippers and 
railroads to resolve smaller rate disputes: Final Offer Rate 
Review and Voluntary Arbitration. The Committee directs the STB 
to evaluate the need to construct a new economic model of rail 
rates, the appropriate method for constructing such a model, 
and the authorization and resources that would be required to 
construct the model. The Committee directs the STB to provide 
this evaluation in writing to the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations within 1 year of enactment of this act.

           United States Interagency Council on Homelessness


                           OPERATING EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $4,300,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................       4,300,000
Committee recommendation................................       4,300,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The United States Interagency Council on Homelessness is an 
independent agency created by the McKinney-Vento Homeless 
Assistance Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-77) to coordinate the 
Federal response to homelessness. USICH was authorized to 
review Federal programs that assist homeless persons, to take 
necessary actions to reduce duplication, and to recommend 
improvements in programs and activities conducted by Federal, 
State, and local governments, as well as local volunteer 
organizations. USICH consists of the heads of 19 Federal 
agencies, including the Departments of Housing and Urban 
Development, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, 
Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Labor, and 
Transportation, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and 
other entities as deemed appropriate.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,300,000 for 
USICH, which is equal to the budget request and fiscal year 
2024 enacted level. This funding level is sufficient to sustain 
current staffing levels and address other adjustments to 
maintain current services.
    Documentation Barriers for People Experiencing 
Homelessness.--The Committee reminds USICH of the requirement 
in Senate Report 118-70 to brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the actions taken in fiscal 
year 2024 to streamline eligibility and documentation 
requirements that can often act as a barrier to assistance.
    Disaster Preparedness and Coordination for Homeless 
Populations.--The USICH strategic plan, All In: The Federal 
Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, includes 
strategies to improve coordination and the deployment of 
assistance to the homeless population when natural disasters 
strike. The Committee directs USICH, in coordination with HUD 
and FEMA, to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of this act on the 
specific actions taken in fiscal year 2024 and planned for 
fiscal year 2025 in support of this goal, including actions 
taken to address open recommendations from the GAO-23-105379 
report. This briefing shall include lessons learned from the 
challenges recent disaster-impacted communities have faced in 
quickly deploying available resources to address the needs of 
homeless populations, recommendations for how to improve 
relationships between emergency management and homelessness 
stakeholders, and ways to support better pre-disaster 
preparedness.
    Youth Homelessness.--Youth homelessness is often invisible 
and includes vulnerable housing situations, such as couch 
surfing or staying with relatives. The Committee remains 
concerned not only about youth homelessness overall, but also 
the increase in those numbers throughout the Nation. According 
to HUD's Annual Homeless Assessment Report, the number of 
unaccompanied youth increased by 15 percent from 2022 to 2023; 
this increase was second only to the increase in family 
homelessness, a category that also includes parenting youth. 
The overall increase in homeless among youth, either 
unaccompanied or parenting, is not only troubling but also 
likely reflects an undercounting of the true numbers. Concerns 
around meeting the needs of homeless youth are not new and are 
complicated by the roles that multiple Federal agencies play in 
addressing this challenge. To that end, the GAO published a 
report in 2021, Youth Homelessness: HUD and HHS Could Enhance 
Coordination to Better Support Communities [GAO-21-540]. The 
Committee is disappointed to learn that all 10 recommendations 
to HUD, HHS, and USICH remain open. Therefore, the Committee 
directs USICH to compile a report identifying the progress both 
it, and its member agencies, have made in addressing these GAO 
recommendations, and to submit this report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment 
of this act. The Committee further directs USICH to submit an 
annual update to this report to the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations within 60 days of the end of each subsequent 
fiscal year until all recommendations from the GAO-21-540 
report are closed.
    Implementation of Best Practices.--To prevent USICH from 
misusing Federal funds through sharing inaccurate or misleading 
data with Federal partners, community practitioners, and other 
stakeholders, the Committee continues to direct USICH to ensure 
best practices and evidence-based conclusions are central to 
any technical assistance and recommendations released by the 
agency.
    Local Community Interactions with Persons Experiencing 
Homelessness.--The Committee encourages USICH to continue to 
work with Federal, State, and local partners to identify and 
promote constructive partnerships with local community entities 
that promote the safety of people experiencing homelessness and 
the communities in which they reside. The Committee notes the 
prevalence of existing research that shows how addressing the 
housing and supportive service needs of homeless individuals 
reduces local expenditures on emergency rooms and jails, and 
that diversion strategies can mitigate against further trauma 
and harm. As part of this effort, the Committee encourages 
USICH to review existing research and demonstrations from 
across the country and determine how best to incorporate these 
materials into USICH's ongoing training and technical 
assistance.

discretionary budget authority, credit authority, or other 
spending authority for a contract, loan, loan guarantee, grant, 
loan authority, or other expenditure with or to an entity, or 
targeted to a specific State, locality or congressional 
district, other than through a statutory or administrative, 
formula-driven, or competitive award process.
    For each item, a Member is required to provide a 
certification that neither the Member nor the Member's 
immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such 
congressionally directed spending item Such certifications are 
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee 
on Appropriations (https://www.appropriations.
