                        MULTI-AGENCY DIRECTIVES

    Responding to Climate-Driven Wildfires.--The incidence of 
catastrophic wildfire is a threat to drinking water, air 
quality, plant and animal habitat, rural and urban communities, 
and the very land itself. While the root causes are many, it is 
the undeniable, steady pace of climate chaos that is magnifying 
the dangers and creating sweeping changes to our land, with 
rising temperatures, perpetual drought, and invasive species 
and diseases all taking a toll on forests, rangelands, and 
urban trees.
    To combat the multifaceted problems created by the changing 
climate and the resulting incidence of high-intensity wildfire, 
this bill provides funding to reduce risk to communities, 
protect municipal watersheds, restore the landscape, promote 
responsible biomass use from hazardous fuels, and create 
associated jobs. This bill also provides funding for wildfire 
smoke preparedness through a competitive grant program to 
States, federally recognized Tribes, schools, and non-profits 
for resources to help prevent, abate, and research wildfire 
smoke hazards in community buildings.
    Federal Firefighter Workforce.--Firefighters are on the 
front line for responding to these wildfire events. It is clear 
that Federal firefighters need support to combat the real 
danger of injury and fatigue that is another consequence of 
higher incidence of catastrophic wildfires and year-round fire. 
This includes better pay, appropriate equipment, improved 
housing and facilities, health and wellness support, and 
transitioning seasonal jobs into more permanent positions. To 
that end, the Committee provides the funds for a permanent pay 
fix and job series for Federal wildland firefighters and 
incorporates legislative text to effectuate the necessary 
changes in statute.
    This bill also provides funding to initiate health and 
wellness programs to address issues of physical and mental 
fatigue and continues funding for additional fire positions and 
firefighter housing and facilities. In addition to the funding 
provided through annual appropriations provided in this bill, 
the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service should 
leverage resources available through the Legacy Restoration 
Fund to meet identified housing and fire facility needs.
    Plastic Waste on Public Lands.--The Committee applauds 
Secretarial Order 3407, which aims to reduce the procurement, 
sale, and distribution of single-use plastic products and 
packaging with a goal of a total phaseout of single-use plastic 
products on all Department-managed lands by 2032. The Committee 
maintains the optimism that a phaseout can be complete well 
before the 10-year window. The Committee directs the Department 
to provide a written update to the Committee on the status of 
the phaseout within 90 days of enactment of this act.
    Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.--The Committee is 
concerned about the crisis of missing, trafficked, and murdered 
indigenous women that has plagued Native communities. Native 
American women face high rates of violence and the lack of data 
on the number of women and girls who go missing or murdered 
further complicates the Nation's ability to address this 
crisis. The bill includes both funding and directives under the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service in order 
to improve the Federal response to this epidemic.
    Budgetary Treatment of Contract Support Costs and 105(l) 
Tribal Leases.--Due to findings in recent court decisions (see 
Salazar v. Ramah (132 S. Ct. 2181 (2012)) and Maniilaq Ass'n v. 
Burwell in both 2014 (72 F. Supp. 3d 227 (D.D.C. 2014)) and 
2016 (70 F. Supp. 3d 243 (D.D.C. 2016))), payments for contract 
support costs and 105(l) leases appear to create a type of 
budgetary entitlement that is typically not funded through 
discretionary appropriations. For contract support costs, the 
Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act [ISDEAA] 
of 1975 requires the government to enter into contracts and 
leases with any willing Tribe and requires that the government 
pay a Tribe's costs. Section 105(l) of the ISDEAA requires the 
Secretary, at the request of a Tribe, to enter into a lease 
with the Tribe for a building used to provide services under 
the ISDEAA. Reclassification of these costs from a 
discretionary appropriation to a mandatory appropriated 
entitlement has been under discussion since the Supreme Court 
issued its decision in 2012. The fiscal year 2025 President's 
Budget proposes to reclassify these costs as an appropriated 
entitlement beginning in fiscal year 2026. Similar proposals 
were also included in multiple years since fiscal year 2016.
    Deferred Maintenance.--The Committee has made a concerted 
effort in recent years to address the backlog maintenance needs 
on our public lands. The National Parks and Public Land Legacy 
Restoration Fund [Fund], discussed in more detail below, 
provides for $1,900,000,000 for fiscal year 2025 to invest in 
the maintenance backlogs on public lands and Tribal schools. In 
addition to the amounts allocated for the Fund, the Committee 
continues to provide discretionary funding for deferred 
maintenance. The Department of the Interior and the Forest 
Service are directed to maintain updated 5-year deferred 
maintenance plans that, to the extent practicable, include a 
list of all outstanding deferred maintenance needs, and to 
provide them to the Committee on a quarterly basis.
    Disaster Recovery Needs.--The Committee directs the 
Department of the Interior and the other agencies funded in 
this bill to establish quarterly reporting requirements for 
their component bureaus, regions, offices, and programs, as 
appropriate, to maintain up-to-date comprehensive information 
for funding needs related to disaster recovery, which shall be 
delivered to the Committee within 30 days of a quarter closing 
and shall also be updated and provided at other points in time 
when the Committee requests such an update.
    Land Grants, Acequias and Community Ditches.--The 
Secretaries of the Department of the Interior and the 
Department of Agriculture are urged to recognize the 
traditional use of State-recognized community land grants, 
acequias, and community ditches in the American Southwest 
during the land use planning process. The Department of the 
Interior and the Forest Service shall, in accordance with 
applicable law, consider and, as appropriate, provide for 
within land management plans the traditional-historic uses by 
an acequias or land grant merceds recognized by the State of 
New Mexico.
    Training, Hiring, and Public Lands Education in Alaska.--
The directive in the explanatory statement accompanying Public 
Law 116-94 regarding hiring and conducting annual Alaska 
National Interest Lands Conservation Act training by the 
Department of the Interior and the Forest Service is continued. 
The Committee also recognizes the importance of Alaska Public 
Land Information Centers as partners and tools to educate the 
public regarding Alaska's unique public lands and encourages 
the agencies to look for opportunities to strengthen these 
critical partnerships.
    Transparency of Information.--Federal agencies funded under 
this act shall clearly state within the text, audio, or video 
used for advertising or educational purposes, including emails 
or Internet postings, that the communication is printed, 
published, or produced and disseminated at U.S. taxpayer 
expense. The funds used by a Federal agency to carry out this 
requirement shall be derived from amounts made available to the 
agency for advertising or other communications regarding the 
programs and activities of the agency.
    Delivery of Reports and Correspondence.--All reports, 
correspondence, and reprogramming requests from the agencies to 
the Committee shall be provided electronically, in addition to 
any that are required to be delivered in physical formats.
    Everglades Restoration.--The Committee notes that critical 
progress towards restoring the Everglades ecosystem has been 
made with several projects to improve infrastructure for 
enhanced water deliveries nearing completion. The Committee 
continues to support this multiyear effort to preserve one of 
the great ecological treasures of the United States and urges 
the Department of the Interior and its relevant bureaus to 
ensure that restoration activities, research, and monitoring 
are not delayed.
    Beavers and Aquatic Habitat.--The Committee notes that 
beavers are an important native species across North America, 
and are a well-known ecosystem engineer with the ability to 
create new wetlands and improve habitats for a wide array of 
other species. In addition, the habitats they develop may help 
with regulating the effects of extreme weather events 
associated with a changing climate, including creating natural 
fire breaks, natural carbon capture, and water storage. Federal 
land managers are encouraged to work with state wildlife 
managers on beaver conservation, to make planning decisions 
that recognize beavers' environmental and ecological benefits, 
and to identify locations where restoration of their habitat 
may be most beneficial.
    Valles Caldera National Preserve.--The Committee is 
concerned about the presence of illegal trespass cattle from 
the Santa Fe National Forest on the Valles Caldera National 
Preserve in violation of the Preserve's authorizing statute and 
National Park Service policy. The Committee appreciates the 
recent commitment from the Forest Service and the National Park 
Service to jointly enter into a Memorandum of Understanding 
[MOU] establishing a formal written agreement on funding, fence 
maintenance responsibilities, cattle incursion response, law 
enforcement efforts, and a pilot program to test the use of 
virtual fencing to keep cattle excluded from the Preserve. The 
Committee urges the Services to formalize the MOU with these 
components without delay and to report to the Committee 
immediately if there is any potential for proposed deviations. 
The Committee further directs the Services to jointly brief the 
Committee on the plan to fund the long-term maintenance of the 
fence after its construction, within 90 days of enactment of 
this act.
    Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act.--The Committee 
continues to direct the Department of the Interior and the 
Forest Service to annually post on a centralized agency website 
the list of Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act [FLREA] 
(Public Law 108-447) projects and activities performed in each 
fiscal year, which should include a project or activity title, 
description, location, and amount obligated, beginning with 
fiscal year 2024 as practicable. The Committee awaits a report 
from each land management agency that is unable to complete 
this directive. Such report shall detail the specific steps the 
agency plans to take to secure the capabilities needed to 
provide proper transparency on the spending of FLREA funds.
    Workforce Housing on Public Lands.--Across the country, the 
rise in short-term vacation rentals, particularly at popular 
travel destinations has further decreased the availability and 
affordability of housing in communities near national parks and 
other Federal lands. This has created a crisis in public lands 
staffing access to adequate housing facilities is a key 
component of attracting and retaining a qualified workforce. 
For example, the Committee understands that seasonal employees 
are often forced to turn down permanent employment because they 
would lose the temporary housing provided to some seasonal 
employees. The Department of Interior and the Forest Service 
are directed to continue to prioritize expanding housing 
availability in future budget requests, including by 
considering proposals for projects that construct, improve, or 
maintain adequate housing for land management agency employees. 
Within 120 days of enactment of this act, the Department of the 
Interior and the Forest Service shall each provide briefings to 
the Committee detailing current housing needs and ongoing 
impacts. Further, within 180 days of enactment of this act, the 
Department of the Interior and the Forest Service shall each 
provide the Committee with a housing needs assessment for 
employees who live both in government quarters and in the local 
community, including what Federal funding and potential 
legislative changes would help Federal employees find and pay 
for adequate housing.
    Federal Trust, Federal Obligations, 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.
    Consultation with Indian Tribes and Alaska Native 
Corporations.--The Committee stresses the importance of all 
federal agencies conducting meaningful consultation with 
Tribes, as directed under Executive Order 13175, with regard to 
federal programs and actions and notes that Public Law 108-199 
at section 161, and Public Law 108-447 at section 518 require 
that all Federal agencies must consult with Alaska Native 
Claims Settlement Act of 1971 (ANCSA) Corporations on the same 
basis as Indian Tribes under Executive Order 13175. 
Accordingly, the Committee reminds all federal agencies of the 
law with respect to consultation and expects that all federal 
agencies will meaningfully consult with Indian Tribes and ANCSA 
corporations on the same basis.
    Streamlining Tribal Water Funding.--The Committee 
appreciates the Department of the Interior's recent efforts to 
partner with the Indian Health Service to further develop safe 
drinking water and community sanitation infrastructure projects 
across Indian Country. The Committee directs the Department, in 
coordination with the Indian Health Service, the Environmental 
Protection Agency, and other Federal agencies to, within 
existing authorities, take steps to streamline and better 
coordinate Federal Tribal drinking water and sanitation 
incentives and programs with the goal of simplifying 
administrative burdens for Tribal governments or organizations 
to design, finance, and build necessary water infrastructure. 
The Committee directs the Department, in coordination with IHS 
and EPA, to report to the Committees on Appropriations no later 
than 180 days after enactment of this act on policy 
recommendations to address any statutory barriers and identify 
additional authorities necessary to further this goal.
    Wildlife Connectivity.--The Committee commends the 
Department of the Interior for continuing to implement 
Secretarial Order 3362, which has proven to be effective at 
bolstering big game migrations and improving habitat 
connectivity. In future budget requests, the Department shall 
clearly identify and describe funding requested for programs 
established to implement the Secretarial Order.
    Estimating Fixed Costs.--The Committee directs all agencies 
funded in this act to include in future budget justifications 
an estimate of the ``fixed costs'' needs for the budget year. 
Such costs represent non-programmatic, obligatory costs that 
cannot be changed or avoided and are not associated with 
programmatic increases. For the purposes of this estimate, the 
Committee directs that the components of ``fixed costs'' 
include: (1) change in number of paid days; (2) estimates of 
proposed cost-of-living adjustments, change in number of paid 
days, and benefits increases for current year FTE levels; (3) 
change in employer share of retirement programs for current 
year staffing levels; (4) estimates of costs due for workers 
compensation payments; (5) estimates of change in unemployment 
compensation; (6) estimates of changes in rent payable to the 
General Services Administration [GSA], Federal, and Non-Federal 
sources for office and non-office space, including security 
estimates from the Federal Protective Service, mandatory office 
relocations, and base operations and maintenance increases 
resulting from movement out of GSA or direct-leased space; (7) 
estimated costs for services charged centrally by the 
Department/Agency that are mandatory and non-severable; and (8) 
estimated costs associated with utilities for facilities. Note 
that these costs do not include programmatic contract 
increases. Budget submissions must include a description of the 
assumptions reflected in each category of the fixed cost 
estimates.
    Fair Access to Advertising.--The Committee understands 
that, as the largest advertiser in the United States, the 
Federal Government should work to ensure fair access to its 
advertising contracts for small disadvantaged businesses and 
businesses owned by minorities and women. The Committee directs 
each department and agency funded by this act to include the 
following information in its fiscal year 2026 budget 
justification: Expenditures for fiscal year 2024 and expected 
expenditures for fiscal year 2026 for (1) all contracts for 
advertising services; and (2) contracts for the advertising 
services of (I) socially and economically disadvantaged small 
businesses concerns (as defined in section 8(a)(4) of the Small 
Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637 (a)(4)); and [II] women-and 
minority-owned businesses.
    Voting-Related Activities.--The Committee notes that 
neither the Department nor Agency has provided the briefing 
required under this heading in Senate Report 118-83. As such, 
the Committee directs the Secretary or Administrator to provide 
to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress 
a briefing, within 30 days after enactment of this act, 
regarding any strategic plans developed by the Department or 
Agency since January 20, 2021 outlining ways for the Department 
to promote voter registration and voter participation.
    Recruitment and Retention.--The Committee is greatly 
concerned by the recruitment and retention challenges facing 
the Bureau of Land Management, the Fish and Wildlife Service, 
the Bureau of Reclamation, the National Park Service, and the 
Forest Service. The Committee notes that while there are many 
challenges contributing to the high turnover rates and long-
term vacancies at these agencies, these challenges are driven 
in part by discrepancies between Federal employees' salaries 
and those of comparable State and local agencies, the high cost 
of living in certain areas of the country, and the mismatch 
between certain employees' official worksite versus where 
available and affordable housing is located. Within 180 days of 
enactment of this act, the Departments of the Interior and 
Agriculture shall report to the Committee outlining what 
discretionary authorities and pay flexibilities they have used 
to date to address these significant recruitment and retention 
problems. The report shall also outline the funding and policy 
barriers the agencies face in rectifying these challenges and 
include specific Federal funding needs and legislative 
proposals to address these barriers.

                   Congressionally Directed Spending

    The Committee includes congressionally directed spending as 
defined in section 5(a) of rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of 
the Senate. In the interest of providing full disclosure of 
funding provided in the bill, all projects are listed in a 
table accompanying this report.
    The vast majority of congressionally directed spending 
projects funded in the bill support the improvement of drinking 
water and wastewater infrastructure in the United States. The 
Committee has confirmed that each funded water infrastructure 
project is eligible for funding under the State Revolving 
Funds, the Indian Health Service sanitation deficiency system, 
or is otherwise certified as eligible.
    The bill also funds a number of historic preservation 
projects, each of which the Committee has confirmed is listed 
on the National Register of Historic Places or as a National 
Historic Landmark pursuant to the National Historic 
Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq.). The Committee notes 
that any Land and Water Conservation Fund [LWCF] projects 
funded in the bill that were identified by the administration 
on supplemental lists but that were not a part of the 
President's fiscal year 2025 request are identified as 
congressionally directed spending; LWCF projects requested by 
the President are not identified as congressionally directed 
spending. Other funded projects support on-the-ground 
conservation activities, capital improvement and maintenance on 
public lands, and forest resiliency and wildfire risk reduction 
efforts which will further the missions of longstanding 
programs funded within the bill.

         National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund

    The National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund 
[Fund] was created by the Great American Outdoors Act (Public 
Law 116-152) [GAOA] to address the maintenance backlogs of the 
National Park Service, the United States Fish and Wildlife 
Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Forest Service, and 
the Bureau of Indian Education. GAOA provides up to 
$1,900,000,000 in mandatory funding annually for fiscal years 
2021-2025 for the Fund and provides the Committee authority to 
allocate individual projects within legislation providing full-
year appropriations for agencies and programs under the 
jurisdiction of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on the 
Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies 
(54 U.S.C. 200402). A table detailing the allocation of fiscal 
year 2025 funds by agency, station or unit name, project or 
activity, and State accompanies this report.
    The Committee appreciates the efforts by the Department of 
the Interior and the Forest Service to provide detailed project 
descriptions and estimated costs to the Committee in a timely 
fashion and to keep the Committee updated on developments 
affecting funded projects and future projects under 
consideration. The Committee emphasizes that, pursuant to GAOA, 
the Committee's project allocations are final and must be 
adhered to.

                    Land and Water Conservation Fund

    With enactment of GAOA, Congress provided a permanent 
appropriation of $900,000,000 per year from the Land and Water 
Conservation Fund [LWCF]. Along with other mandatory 
appropriations, LWCF programs are subject to a 5.7 percent 
sequestration, with those sequestered amounts becoming 
available in the subsequent fiscal year. GAOA also mandated 
that account allocations and detailed project information be 
proposed by the administration through the President's budget 
submission, and that such allocations, following review by the 
Committees on Appropriations, may be modified through an 
alternate allocation.
    The Reauthorization of LWCF in Section 3001 of the John D. 
Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act 
(Public Law 116-9) required that funding for Federal purchases 
and for the suite of grant programs providing financial 
assistance to States each constitute at least 40 percent of 
total funds available each fiscal year from all sources, 
annually. That total includes $900,000,000 in mandatory 
appropriations provided under GAOA, as well as deposits to LWCF 
under the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (Public Law 109-
432) [GOMESA]. These GOMESA deposits amounted to $125,000,000 
in fiscal year 2024 and are also projected at $125,000,000 in 
fiscal year 2025. Accordingly, the Committee has taken the full 
amounts available for LWCF expenditures into account in 
determining its allocations and expects that future budget 
submissions will clearly delineate all revenues credited to 
LWCF and will adhere to statutory requirements in the proposed 
allocation to Federal and State programs.
    A detailed table accompanying this report shows the LWCF 
allocation for fiscal year 2025 by agency, account, activity, 
and project, including lists of specific Federal land 
acquisition projects and Forest Legacy Program projects.
    Appraisals.--The Committee appreciates the commitment by 
the Department and the Forest Service to meet congressional 
direction to ameliorate concerns about delays and other process 
issues related to the appraisal function. Concerns persist, 
however, regarding process inconsistencies across regions, the 
need for public transparency regarding policies and manuals 
associated with appraisal review, and other issues related to 
valuation. The Committee expects detailed regular reports 
related to the process and policy changes being implemented, as 
well as the pilot program for returning some functions to the 
Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service, and will 
revisit this issue and funding for appraisal services prior to 
enactment of a final fiscal year 2025 bill.
    Bureau of Land Management.--The Committee is concerned 
about long delays in project transfers and encourages the 
Bureau to address real estate capacity in field offices by 
deploying regional strike teams in State offices or with a 
national strike team, to facilitate timely transfers and 
improve consistency.
    Fish and Wildlife Service.--The Service is expected to 
provide outreach to all units of the National Wildlife Refuge 
System, including Clarks River, Don Edwards, Green River, 
Loxahatchee, and Okefenokee, to ensure these refuges are 
accessing all available funding tools, including recreational 
access and inholdings. The Service is strongly encouraged to 
continue due diligence work on the accumulating backlog of 
parcels available at Clarks River and Green River National 
Wildlife Refuges and is directed to brief the Committee on such 
efforts within 90 days of enactment of this act. The Committee 
directs the Service to consider habitat conservation plan land 
acquisition applications that enhance efforts to establish 
State research forests through the Cooperative Endangered 
Species Conservation Fund program.
    National Park Service.--The Committee is concerned with the 
slow pace in acquisition of the Wright Company Factory at the 
Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. While some 
of the delay is beyond the control of the Service, the 
Committee urges that all appropriate steps are taken to ensure 
that the acquisition moves forward as expeditiously as 
possible. The Committee supports future land acquisition for 
the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park by the Service.
    Big Cypress National Preserve and Florida Panther National 
Wildlife Refuge.--The Committee is aware of the ecological and 
cultural significance of the Big Cypress National Preserve and 
Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge and of the potential 
damage to these public lands should the owners of the 
subsurface rights engage in oil, gas, or mineral exploration or 
extraction. The Committee also is aware of the time-sensitive 
opportunity for the Department of the Interior to acquire the 
subsurface rights to these lands, thereby ensuring permanent 
protection for these areas. The Committee urges the Department 
to prioritize and expedite the review of due diligence and the 
decision-making process with respect to this opportunity, and 
directs the Appraisal and Valuation Services Office to report 
to the Committee on its decision no later than 180 days after 
enactment of this act.
    Forest Legacy Program.--For over thirty years, the Forest 
Service and States have worked together through this program to 
protect privately owned forest lands through conservation 
easements and land purchases, all while not adding to the 
Federal estate. The Committee appreciates the Forest Service's 
successful implementation of this program and its efforts to 
ensure that States fully understand the tools available under 
the current statute and regulation, including management 
agreements, that can contribute to the program's continued 
success.
    Tribal LWCF.--The Committee supports the resource land 
conservation and outdoor recreation access goals of Tribes. The 
Committee has not allocated specific funding for these 
activities in this bill, but recognizes that currently pending 
authorization legislation in both chambers may provide support 
to advance these goals. The Committee is committed to ensuring 
that meaningful funding is provided to Tribes through 
implementation of any such new authorization.

                        Reprogramming Guidelines

    Reprogramming guidelines for the agencies funded in this 
bill were codified in Division D of Public Law 116-94 and 
further described in the accompanying explanatory statement. 
These guidelines are repeated here for emphasis and reference, 
and are continued in this bill as a Title IV general provision.
    The following are the procedures governing reprogramming 
actions for programs and activities funded in the Department of 
the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act. The agencies funded by this act are reminded that no 
reprogramming shall be implemented without the advance approval 
of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in 
accordance with the procedures included in this act. The 
agencies funded in this act are reminded that these 
reprogramming guidelines are in effect, and must be complied 
with, until such time as the Committees modify them through 
bill or report language.
    Definitions.--``Reprogramming,'' as defined in these 
procedures, includes the reallocation of funds from one budget 
activity, budget line-item, or program area to another within 
any appropriation funded in this act. In cases where either the 
House or Senate Committee on Appropriations report displays an 
allocation of an appropriation below that level, the more 
detailed level shall be the basis for reprogramming.
    For construction, land acquisition, and forest legacy 
accounts, a reprogramming constitutes the reallocation of 
funds, including unobligated balances, from one construction, 
land acquisition, or forest legacy project to another such 
project.
    A reprogramming shall also consist of any significant 
departure from the program described in the agency's budget 
justifications. This includes all proposed reorganizations or 
other workforce actions detailed below which affect a total of 
10 staff members or 10 percent of the staffing of an affected 
program or office, whichever is less, even without a change in 
funding. Any change to the organization table presented in the 
budget justification shall also be subject to this requirement.
    Agencies are reminded that these longstanding General 
Guidelines for Reprogramming require agencies funded by this 
act to submit reorganization proposals for the Committees' 
review prior to their implementation. It is noted that such 
reprogramming guidelines apply to proposed reorganizations, 
workforce restructure, reshaping, transfer of functions, or 
bureau-wide downsizing and include closures, consolidations, 
and relocations of offices, facilities, and laboratories. In 
addition, no agency shall implement any part of a 
reorganization that modifies regional or State boundaries for 
agencies or bureaus that were in effect as of the date of 
enactment of this act unless approved consistent with the 
General Guidelines for Reprogramming procedures specified 
herein. Any such reprogramming request submitted to the 
Committees on Appropriations shall include a description of 
anticipated benefits, including anticipated efficiencies and 
cost-savings, as well as a description of anticipated personnel 
impacts and funding changes anticipated to implement the 
proposal.

    General Guidelines for Reprogramming.--

          (a) A reprogramming should be made only when an 
        unforeseen situation arises, and then only if 
        postponement of the project or the activity until the 
        next appropriation year would result in actual loss or 
        damage.
          (b) Any project or activity, which may be deferred 
        through reprogramming, shall not later be accomplished 
        by means of further reprogramming, but instead, funds 
        should again be sought for the deferred project or 
        activity through the regular appropriations process.
          (c) Except under the most urgent situations, 
        reprogramming should not be employed to initiate new 
        programs or increase allocations specifically denied or 
        limited by Congress, or to decrease allocations 
        specifically increased by the Congress.
          (d) Reprogramming proposals submitted to the House 
        and Senate Committees on Appropriations for approval 
        will be considered as expeditiously as possible, and 
        the Committees remind the agencies that in order to 
        process reprogramming requests, adequate and timely 
        information must be provided.
    Criteria and Exceptions.--A reprogramming must be submitted 
to the Committees in writing prior to implementation if it 
exceeds $1,000,000 annually or results in an increase or 
decrease of more than 10 percent annually in affected programs 
or projects, whichever amount is less, with the following 
exceptions:
          (a) With regard to the Tribal priority allocations of 
        the Bureau of Indian Affairs [BIA] and Bureau of Indian 
        Education [BIE], there is no restriction on 
        reprogrammings among these programs. However, the 
        Bureaus shall report on all reprogrammings made during 
        a given fiscal year no later than 60 days after the end 
        of the fiscal year.
          (b) With regard to the EPA, the Committees do not 
        require reprogramming requests associated with the 
        States and Tribes Partnership Grants or up to a 
        cumulative total of $5,000,000 from carryover balances 
        among the individual program areas delineated in the 
        Environmental Programs and Management account, with no 
        more than $1,000,000 coming from any individual program 
        area. No funds, however, shall be reallocated from 
        individual Geographic Programs.
          (c) With regard to the National Park Service, the 
        Committees do not require reprogramming requests 
        associated with the park base within the Park 
        Management activity in the Operation of the National 
        Park System Account. The Service is required to brief 
        the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on 
        spending trends for the park base within 60 days of 
        enactment of this act.
    Assessments.--``Assessment'' as defined in these procedures 
shall refer to any charges, reserves, or holdbacks applied to a 
budget activity or budget line item for costs associated with 
general agency administrative costs, overhead costs, working 
capital expenses, or contingencies.
          (a) No assessment shall be levied against any 
        program, budget activity, subactivity, budget line 
        item, or project funded by the Interior, Environment, 
        and Related Agencies Appropriations Act unless such 
        assessment and the basis therefore are presented to the 
        Committees in the budget justifications and are 
        subsequently approved by the Committees. The 
        explanation for any assessment in the budget 
        justification shall show the amount of the assessment, 
        the activities assessed, and the purpose of the funds.
          (b) Proposed changes to estimated assessments, as 
        such estimates were presented in annual budget 
        justifications, shall be submitted through the 
        reprogramming process and shall be subject to the same 
        dollar and reporting criteria as any other 
        reprogramming.
          (c) Each agency or bureau which utilizes assessments 
        shall submit an annual report to the Committees, which 
        provides details on the use of all funds assessed from 
        any other budget activity, line item, subactivity, or 
        project.
          (d) In no case shall contingency funds or assessments 
        be used to finance projects and activities disapproved 
        or limited by Congress or to finance programs or 
        activities that could be foreseen and included in the 
        normal budget review process.
          (e) New programs requested in the budget should not 
        be initiated before enactment of the bill without 
        notification to, and the approval of, the Committees. 
        This restriction applies to all such actions regardless 
        of whether a formal reprogramming of funds is required 
        to begin the program.
    Quarterly Reports.--All reprogrammings between budget 
activities, budget line-items, program areas, or the more 
detailed activity levels shown in this recommendation, 
including those below the monetary thresholds established 
above, shall be reported to the Committees within 60 days of 
the end of each quarter and shall include cumulative totals for 
each budget activity or budget line item, or construction, land 
acquisition, or forest legacy project.
    Land Acquisitions, Easements, and Forest Legacy.--Lands 
shall not be acquired for more than the approved appraised 
value, as addressed in section 301 (3) of Public Law 91-646, 
unless such acquisitions are submitted to the Committees on 
Appropriations for approval in compliance with these 
procedures.
    Land Exchanges.--Land exchanges, wherein the estimated 
value of the Federal lands to be exchanged is greater than 
$1,000,000 shall not be consummated until the Committees have 
had 30 days in which to examine the proposed exchange. In 
addition, the Committees shall be provided advance notification 
of exchanges valued between $500,000 and $1,000,000.
    Budget Structure.--The budget activity or line item 
structure for any agency appropriation account shall not be 
altered without advance approval of the Committees.

                                TITLE I

                       DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                        LAND AND WATER RESOURCES

                       Bureau of Land Management

    The Bureau of Land Management [Bureau or BLM] manages more 
than 245 million acres of public lands, primarily in 11 Western 
States and Alaska. The Bureau also has responsibility for 700 
million acres of federally owned subsurface mineral estate. The 
Bureau is mandated to administer these lands for multiple uses, 
including recreation, wildlife habitat, mineral and energy 
production, timber harvesting, and rangeland grazing, while 
managing natural, cultural, and historical resources.

                   MANAGEMENT OF LANDS AND RESOURCES

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $1,294,916,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   1,395,249,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,342,510,000

    The bill provides $1,342,510,000 for Management of Lands 
and Resources, $47,594,000 above the enacted level and 
$52,739,000 below the request. The detailed allocation of 
funding by program and activity is included in the table 
accompanying this report. Program directives and specific 
funding requirements are noted in the following narrative.
    Wild Horse and Burro Management.--The bill provides 
$143,102,000 for wild horse and burro activities. The Committee 
directs the Bureau to utilize these funds to continue efforts 
to reduce the wild horse population on the range through a 
humane and sustainable multi-pronged approach of fertility 
control, targeted removals, off-range holding, and adoptions.
    It is clear that the landscape cannot support the 
populations four times in excess of the appropriate management 
level, and that the Bureau should scale up targeted removals in 
the most heavily ecologically impacts areas. However, the 
Committee is concerned that the cost for housing horses in off-
range facilities is reducing the availability of resources to 
care for and manage on-range populations, or to conduct gathers 
for fertility control treatment or removal. Therefore, the 
Bureau is encouraged to pursue public-private partnerships to 
support an increase in the use of humane fertility control, 
reapplication in previously-treated herds, and applying such 
treatments in additional herd management areas.
    The Bureau is reminded to follow the Comprehensive Animal 
Welfare Program and monitor the wellbeing of animals in holding 
and during gather operations. Further, the Bureau should fully 
implement and enforce safeguards in the adoption program, 
including pre-approval of applicants and postadoption 
compliance checks.
    The Committee appreciates the Bureau's commitment to 
quarterly briefings on the state of the program and directs 
that these briefings continue in fiscal year 2025. Briefings 
should include information on the number of off-range holding 
contracts offered, including renewals, the number of applicants 
for such contracts, and the number of awarded contracts, as 
well as information on the cost of contract adjustments for 
change orders. Finally, the Bureau is reminded to continue to 
follow the directives included in the explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 117-103.
    Land Management Priorities.--The bill provides $150,000 for 
congressionally directed spending in this program. A detailed 
list of projects is included in the ``Congressionally Directed 
Spending'' table accompanying this report.
    Wildlife Habitat Management.--The bill provides no less 
than $34,000,000 for threatened and endangered species 
activities. The Committee appreciates the Bureau's work on its 
five year strategic plan and looks forward to an action plan 
that includes priorities identified through science-based 
criteria. The Bureau is encouraged to prioritize the recovery 
of threatened and endangered species that occur or have 
suitable habitat on public lands and address capacity 
shortfalls.
    Sage-Grouse.--The bill provides no less than $71,000,000 
for sage-grouse conservation activities within Wildlife Habitat 
Management. Greater sage-grouse conservation funding is set 
apart because the Committee expects that these funds will 
result in increased capacity and expertise in ecological 
restoration, continued implementation of the National Seed 
Strategy, and reduction of invasive plants through monitoring, 
early detection, and targeted removal, specific to habitat 
improvements for sage-grouse. Increasing the success of 
restoring sagebrush plant communities, particularly after 
burned events, is critical to conserving the broader sagebrush 
ecosystem. The Bureau is expected to use the multiple existing 
and relevant strategies for sagebrush restoration to increase 
the success of projects that restore burned, degraded, or 
otherwise unhealthy habitat. Further, the Committee expects the 
Bureau to only use these funds for native, genetically-
appropriate plant species in revegetation and restoration 
activities in sage-grouse habitat.
    Plant Conservation Activities.--The bill provides no less 
than $20,600,000 for plant conservation and restoration. The 
Committee expects the Bureau to accelerate the research agenda 
identified in the Seed Strategy, support the interagency Native 
Plant Materials Development program, the Seeds of Success 
program, the Plant Conservation Alliance, regional native plant 
materials development programs, and related activities.
    Energy and Minerals.--The bill provides no less than 
$18,500,000 for legacy well remediation to maintain program 
capacity and continue progress toward cleanup of the next 
cluster of legacy wells in need of remediation.
    Alaska Conveyance.--The bill provides $32,662,000 for 
Alaska conveyance. The Committee recognizes the importance of 
the Bureau of Land Management Alaska Native Vietnam-era 
Veterans Allotment Program and continues funding at the enacted 
level. Further, the Committee recognizes the challenges 
associated with implementation of the Alaska Native Vietnam-era 
Veterans Allotment Program and includes a 5-year program 
extension to allow the Bureau sufficient time to locate and 
assist all eligible veterans and their decedents.
    Resource Management Planning.--The bill provides 
$69,041,000, including up to $10,000,000 for sage grouse and 
sagebrush restoration planning.
    Construction Projects.--The bill provides $3,096,000 for 
congressionally directed spending in this program. A detailed 
list of projects is included in the ``Congressionally Directed 
Spending'' table accompanying this report.
    National Conservation Lands.--The bill provides $61,481,000 
for National Conservation Lands, including $11,248,000 for 
National Scenic and Historic Trails. In order to meet national 
conservation goals, sustain increased visitation, enhance 
visitor experiences, and administer the system's expansion, the 
Bureau must complete land use plans for these special places. 
The Committee expects the Bureau to continue to prioritize 
planning associated with recently designated or expanded 
monuments, including Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and Rio 
Grande del Norte National Monument.
    Additional Guidance.--The Committee provides the following 
additional guidance related to activities funded in this 
account.
    Western Oregon.--The Committee appreciates the Bureau's 
work with the State of Oregon to renew the Western Oregon 
Operating Plan and directs the Bureau to continue to fully 
participate in the unified wildfire protection system and to 
cooperate to maintain the level of fire protection for western 
Oregon forestlands and communities through the full term of the 
agreement to 2029. The Bureau is directed to aggressively 
target hazardous fuels treatments and report annually on the 
amount spent, as well as the scope of hazardous fuels 
management required across BLM-managed lands, including Oregon 
and California Grant Lands.
    Conservation Status Ranking.--The Committee supports 
efforts to update conservation status ranks for species of 
conservation concern in the Pacific Northwest using transparent 
and standardized tools through cooperative agreements with 
institutions of higher learning in the region.
    Metallurgical Coal.--The Bureau is directed to brief the 
Committee regarding barriers to finalizing pending lease 
applications for metallurgical coal within 60 days of enactment 
of this act.
    Availability of Data.--The Committee is aware of the 
Bureau's work to address recommendations from the Government 
Accountability Office regarding the management of key data 
systems used to oversee development on Federal lands. The 
Committee supports these ongoing efforts and expects the Bureau 
to continue make progress towards closing the recommendations 
in GA0-21-209 to ensure the timely reporting of data made 
available to the public on a consistent and predictable basis.
    Rio Puerco Watershed.--The Committee reiterates its support 
for the Rio Puerco Watershed Program and encourages the Bureau 
to continue its financial support.
    Aquifer Recharge.--The Committee continues to direct the 
Bureau to work with the State of Idaho to provide appropriate 
access for recharge projects.
    Tribal Contracting.--The Bureau is encouraged to utilize 
contracts with Indian Tribes pursuant to the Indian Self-
Determination and Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638) 
to enable greater collaboration and co-stewardship of public 
land and natural resources with Indian Tribes.
    Coos Bay Wagon Road Lands.--The Committee notes an 
expectation that an adequate and predictable timber supply from 
Coos Bay Wagon Road Grant Lands is generated by holding regular 
timber sales. The Committee urges the Bureau to report its 
timber sale accomplishments for sales that have been sold and 
awarded. The Committee also expects that Sudden Oak Death 
treatments will continue at current levels.
    Range Management.--The Bureau is directed, to the greatest 
extent practicable, to make vacant grazing allotments available 
to a holder of a grazing permit or lease when lands covered by 
the holder of the permit or lease are unusable because of 
drought or wildfire.
    Grazing Allotments.--The Bureau must prioritize management 
of active allotments impacting riparian areas, that are not 
meeting land health standards, or do not have current 
assessments and reduce the backlog of active grazing permits 
that require analysis and new management decisions under the 
National Environmental Policy Act. These actions should be 
taken in concert with a renewed focus on habitat conservation 
and reducing land degradation.
    Signage for Wilderness Areas.--The Committee directs the 
Bureau to ensure that the public is adequately informed 
regarding the lands protected as well as routes that are open 
or closed with properly posted and maintained signage for the 
areas protected by Public Law 116-9.
    Travel Management Plans.--The Bureau is directed to meet 
its obligations in its settlement agreement to prepare travel 
management plans in specified areas.
    Caja del Rio, New Mexico.--The Committee is concerned about 
documented acts of desecration of sacred sites and illegal 
dumping at the Caja del Rio. The Bureau will conduct 
government-to-government consultation with Tribal governments 
and engage with other stakeholders to address these issues and 
provide a status update to the Committee within 180 days of 
enactment of this act.
    Consultation.--Federal actions play a major role in the 
local economy, community well-being, and use of ancestral lands 
on the North Slope of Alaska. The Committee recognizes the need 
to increase meaningful in-person consultations with federally 
recognized Tribes and Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act 
Corporations during the implementation of the Final Rule for 
``Management and Protection of the National Petroleum Reserve 
in Alaska'' and the comment period for the Request for 
Information [RFI] on ``Special Areas within the National 
Petroleum Reserve in Alaska,'' as well as before any actions 
are taken as a result of the information received from the RFI. 
The Committee directs the Secretary to conduct in-person 
consultations with Tribes, Alaska Native Corporations, and 
other tribal entities in the North Slope region to ensure that 
those Alaska Natives' views are understood and reflected in 
decisions on the implementation of the final rule, the Request 
for Information process, and all other decisions made by the 
Department.
    Soda Ash.--In accordance with the Mineral Leasing Act and 
the Non-Energy Leasing minerals rule, the Bureau set a ten-
year, industry-wide royalty rate of 2 percent on January 1, 
2021, for all existing and future Federal soda ash and sodium 
bicarbonate leases.
    Strategic Workforce Planning.--It is the Committee's view 
that the Bureau should prioritize workforce planning, filling 
vacancies and training across disciplines, in order to maximize 
staffing needs with limited resources, and requests a briefing 
on the Bureau's strategic workforce planning effort within 60 
days of enactment of this act.
    National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.--The Committee has 
returned language to the bill for the Bureau to partner with 
the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation on mutually agreed 
upon cost-shared projects that support critical conservation 
activities across multiple project areas, including for 
building water and forest health resilience in the Pacific 
Northwest.
    North Anchorage Land Agreement.--The Committee recognizes 
that the North Anchorage Land Agreement of March 15, 1982, as 
amended, and authorized as a matter of Federal law by section 
1425 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 
December 2, 1980 (Public Law 96-487), was intended to address 
long-standing land entitlement issues in and surrounding the 
Municipality of Anchorage and Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. 
The continued importance of Fort Richardson for our Nation's 
defense has made it impossible for Eklutna Inc., to realize the 
agreed-upon benefits set out within the North Anchorage Land 
Agreement and remaining entitlement of the Alaska Native Claims 
Settlement Act of December 18, 1971 (Public Law 92-203). Of the 
amounts appropriated, up to $500,000 shall be made available in 
fiscal year 2025 for the Appraisal and Valuation Services 
Office, or a contracted federally qualified appraiser, to 
complete a land appraisal and market analysis within 180 days 
of the date of enactment of this act for the remaining lands 
designated for conveyance to Eklutna Inc. through the North 
Anchorage Land Agreement and Alaska Native Claims Settlement 
Act. The appropriation shall first fully fund the cost of the 
surface appraisal and then, if adequate funds remain, the cost 
of a subsurface appraisal.

                      FISH AND WILDLIFE AND PARKS


                     U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service [Service] is the 
principal Federal agency responsible for conserving, 
protecting, and enhancing fish, wildlife, plants, and their 
habitats. The Service manages more than 150 million acres in 
the National Wildlife Refuge System, which encompasses 568 
national wildlife refuges, thousands of small wetlands, and 
other special management areas and Marine National Monuments. 
It also operates 72 national fish hatcheries, 65 fish and 
wildlife management offices, and 80 ecological services field 
stations. The agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, 
administers the Endangered Species Act [ESA] (Public Law 93-
205), manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally 
significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat 
such as wetlands, and helps foreign governments with their 
conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance 
program, which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in 
excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to State fish and 
wildlife agencies.

                          RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $1,520,273,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   1,706,572,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,549,935,000

    The bill provides $1,549,935,000 for Resource Management. 
This amount is $29,662,000 more than the enacted level and 
$155,637,000 less than the budget request. All programs and 
subactivities included are continued at enacted levels unless 
otherwise specified below. The detailed allocation of funding 
by program and activity is included in the table accompanying 
this report. Fixed costs are provided. Program directives and 
specific funding requirements are noted in the following 
narrative.
    Ecological Services.--The bill provides $298,307,000 for 
Ecological Services activities. This amount is increase of 
$10,023,000 to the enacted level. Within the Ecological 
Services program, funding is provided as follows:
    Listing.--The bill provides $22,543,000 for endangered 
species listing activities. The Service is directed to brief 
the Committee on its work plan for this funding as it relates 
to petition activities, listing of foreign species, and 
critical habitat designations.
    Planning and Consultation.--The bill provides $123,292,000 
for planning and consultation. Included is $4,000,000 for Gulf 
Coast Restoration activities. The bill also provides 
$10,354,000 to support environmental review and permitting of 
energy projects on public lands; $2,772,000 for Environmental 
Response and Restoration; $3,500,000 for National Environmental 
Policy Act [NEPA] permitting; and $2,859,000 for Bay Delta 
Ecosystem Restoration. As the Service works to develop or 
revise species range maps, the Committee advises, when 
possible, for the Service to create maps at the sub-county 
level. The bill also provides $1,100,000 for Pesticide 
Consultations.
    Conservation and Restoration.--The bill provides 
$38,454,000 for Conservation and Restoration. This amount is 
equal to the enacted level and maintains enacted levels of 
$500,000 for the Alaska Nannut Comanagement Council; and 
$250,000 for the Eskimo Walrus Commission. The bill provides 
$14,974,000 for Candidate Conservation efforts to facilitate 
voluntary conservation efforts for at-risk species under 
consideration for listing under the ESA, specifically by 
developing landscape level partnerships with private 
landowners, States, Tribes, and agencies on Candidate 
Conservation Agreements to promote a collaborative approach for 
conservation planning. The bill also provides $1,462,000 for 
Coastal Barrier Resources Act; $7,213,000 for environmental 
response and restoration; $7,510,000 for marine mammals; 
$3,250,000 for the Sagebrush Steppe Ecosystem; and $3,545,000 
for the National Wetlands Inventory.
    Recovery.--The bill provides $114,018,000 for activities in 
support of the recovery and delisting of threatened and 
endangered species which includes $5,250,000 for the State of 
the Birds to respond to the urgent needs of critically 
endangered birds that, due to climate change, now face imminent 
extinction from non-native mosquitoes that carry avian malaria 
and other pathogens lethal to these birds; $2,300,000 for the 
Prescott Grant program; and $1,500,000 for the wolf-livestock 
demonstration program. The agreement provides $10,500,000 for 
Recovery Challenge matching grants. Recovery Challenge grants 
are to be used to implement high priority recovery actions as 
prescribed in recovery plans to recover federally listed 
species. Actions should include, but are not limited to, 
genetically-sound breeding, rearing, and reintroduction 
programs. Project partners must provide contributions at least 
50 percent of the project cost, with the remaining funding 
coming from Recovery Challenge funds. Partner contribution 
calculations may include in-kind services. Unless an affected 
State is a partner on the project, no funds may be awarded to a 
project until the project partners have consulted with such 
State.
    Additional Ecological Services guidance is provided below.
    Traditional Knowledge.--The Service manages lands and 
natural resources of great importance to Indian Tribes, and the 
Committee appreciates the acknowledgment of the benefits of 
traditional ecological knowledge by the Service in past policy 
statements and guidance in managing these lands and resources. 
However, the Committee is concerned the Service has not fully 
incorporated traditional Tribal knowledge in its planning 
processes and its implementation of the Endangered Species Act 
[ESA], and would like to see added importance given to the 
application of this knowledge. When appropriate, the Committee 
expects the Service to make every effort to incorporate 
traditional knowledge in its planning decisions, including in 
ESA decisions. The Committee also expects the Service to engage 
in additional outreach to Tribal governments in circumstances 
where traditional knowledge may provide valuable information 
for species like the northern sea otter.
    Endangered Species Act Consultations.--The Committee 
continues to be concerned regarding the timing of processing of 
Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation requests, 
including in West Virginia, North Dakota, and elsewhere. While 
the Committee recognizes the Service is working to clear the 
backlog, the Service is directed to report to the Committee 
within 90 days of enactment of this act on the existing 
backlog, including the number of outstanding requests and 
relevant staff per State. The Committee also directs the 
Service to direct additional staff and other resources to 
States with the most significant backlogs in order to reduce 
the response times for these consultations. Additionally, the 
Committee notes that a provision to provide transfer authority 
of unobligated Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public 
Law 117-58) funding to the Service and the National Marine 
Fisheries Service to expedite these reviews was enacted in the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-42) as 
requested. The Committee continues to support this provision.
    Native Watershed Forests.--Watershed forests provide the 
important ecological service of recharging aquifers and other 
underground water resources in addition to having carbon 
sequestration benefits, an important component to addressing 
climate change. Such forests may also provide critical habitat 
for endangered endemic species uniquely evolved for the 
ecosystems they create. In such cases, active management 
becomes a cost effective way to support multiple conservation 
goals. The Committee urges the Service to support State and 
local management of native watershed forests.
     Candidate Conservation.--The bill provides $14,974,000 for 
Candidate Conservation efforts to facilitate voluntary 
conservation efforts for at-risk species under consideration 
for listing under the ESA, specifically by developing landscape 
level partnerships with private landowners, States, Tribes, and 
agencies on Candidate Conservation Agreements to promote a 
collaborative approach for conservation planning.
    Collaboration Between Federal Agencies and Private Forest 
Owners.--The Committee recognizes that many at-risk species 
inhabit private lands and that the Service must consider non-
regulatory and voluntary collaborative conservation efforts 
with private landowners to accomplish its mission. The Service 
is directed to continue to utilize its grant and other programs 
to pursue collaborative species conservation to the maximum 
extent practicable, specifically for the Northern Long-Eared 
Bat and the Wood Turtle. Overall, these ongoing collaborative 
efforts with private landowners through programs such as the 
Wildlife Conservation Initiative will play a vital role in 
conserving at-risk and listed species, allow for cooperation, 
and ultimately help achieve important wildlife conservation 
outcomes. Private landowners interested in habitat conservation 
are important partners and their efforts should be encouraged 
by improving access to a fuller range of conservation resources 
that exist across the Federal Government and other entities. 
The Committee encourages the Service to support non-profit 
organizations with expertise and experience in working with 
private landowners to provide greater access to information and 
resources in their local area related to the conservation of 
wildlife habitat on private lands.
    State Research Forests.--The Committee directs the Service 
to support cooperative research, monitoring, and recovery 
efforts for the protection and recovery of threatened and 
endangered species, such as the spotted owl and marbled 
murrelet, on state research forests and to report to the 
Committee within 180 days of enactment of this act on progress 
and future plans for such forests including the Elliott State 
Research Forest.
    Jaguar Habitat Connectivity Research and Restoration.--The 
Committee encourages the Service to prioritize research and 
restoration of jaguar habitat and connectivity in the U.S.--
Mexico borderlands. Prioritization should include, but not be 
limited to, the following actions within the Borderlands 
Secondary Area: mapping of potential trans-border linkages and 
identification and mitigation of impediments in these 
corridors, assessing the level of protection in current and 
potential jaguar range, maintaining and increasing important 
corridors and administration of protected areas, developing 
methodologies for jaguar habitat restoration, and identifying 
prioritized lands for habitat restoration.
    Conservation Banking Report.--The Committee directs the 
Service to report back within 60 days of enactment of this act 
on the status of meeting the directive in section 329 of the 
William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act, 
2021 (Public Law 116-283), related to issuing regulations for 
wildlife conservation banking programs.
    Biobanking.--The Committee is aware that the Service, 
through its regional offices, is exploring the use of 
biobanking, which is the preservation of genetic material, 
including tissues, living cell lines and gametes, as a tool to 
preserve the genetic diversity of species in order to enhance 
recovery efforts. The Committee encourages the Service to 
expand upon these efforts including incorporating sample 
collection for biobanking into the recovery planning process.
    Western Monarch Butterfly.--The Committee is particularly 
concerned over the rapid decline in western monarch butterfly 
populations and urges the Service to continue to act 
expeditiously to make a determination on ESA protections for 
the western monarch. Further, the Service is directed to 
utilize Service-managed lands to the maximum extent practicable 
to serve as habitat corridors for migrating monarchs, in 
particular the western monarch. The Committee recognizes the 
Service provides resources for monarchs and other pollinators 
across multiple accounts, and this agreement provides no less 
than $8,000,000 for the western monarch butterfly and other 
pollinators within National Wildlife Refuge System, Inventory 
and Monitoring and including an additional $1,000,000 within 
Science Support. The Service is encouraged to work alongside 
Federal agencies, State, Tribal, and non-governmental 
organizations on a comprehensive strategy to increase habitat 
and monitoring of critical pollinator species. The Service is 
expected to continue to work with the National Fish and 
Wildlife Foundation [NFWF] to expand and leverage monarch 
recovery efforts.
    Florida Grasshopper Sparrow.--The Committee directs the 
Service to continue to support at the enacted level. 
Furthermore, the Committee is encouraged by the success of the 
Service's captive breeding program as managed by its 
conservation partners and notes that augmenting the wild 
population with captive bred releases as early as this year 
will mark an important new phase in the species' recovery. The 
Committee notes that the disease and health studies necessary 
to understand and combat captive bred sparrow mortality may 
have important benefits to the recovery of other endangered 
birds including the Cape Sable Seaside Sparrow.
    Red Knot Recovery Program.--The Committee supports the 
efforts of the Service's Red Knot Recovery program. Funding 
provided for these activities should be used to improve 
horseshoe crab egg density surveys, safeguarding the red knot's 
food supplies, filling data gaps, and addressing new threats as 
they emerge.
    Native Handicrafts.--The Committee reiterates that the 
Service's 2016 elephant ivory regulation does not apply to 
Alaska Native handicrafts made from walrus ivory and mammoth 
ivory. However, the Committee is concerned that the Federal 
prohibitions on the sale and trade of elephant ivory have 
negatively impacted the Alaska Native arts economy. The 
Committee appreciates the Service's efforts on this matter to 
date. The Committee expects the Service to continue its efforts 
to promote this distinction and directs the Service to develop 
a plan for greater outreach on this matter.
    Habitat Conservation.--The bill provides $77,106,000 for 
Habitat Conservation programs, an increase of $5,106,000 to the 
enacted level. The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program is 
funded at $63,836,000. Within the funds provided for Partners, 
$3,200,000 is for Nutria Eradication activities, $643,000 for 
Environmental Data Quality and Access, $5,085,000 for 
Washington Regional Fisheries Enhancement Groups, an increase 
of $3,800,000 to the enacted levels, and $5,132,000 for Klamath 
Habitat Restoration, equal to the enacted level.
    The bill provides $13,270,000 for the Coastal Program, 
which includes Ecosystem Restoration, Hood Canal Salmon 
Enhancement, and Long Live the Kings.
    National Wildlife Refuge System.--The Committee recommends 
$543,505,000 for the National Wildlife Refuge System. This 
amount is an increase of $16,470,000 to the fiscal year 2024 
enacted level.
    Within the amount provided for the National Wildlife Refuge 
System, $261,752,000 is provided for wildlife and habitat 
management. $17,225,000 is for invasive species, with the 
increase provided for European green crab efforts with more 
direction detailed below. The committee notes an emphasis on 
invasive species Strike Teams to focus on high priority 
invasive species problems before they cause irreparable harm to 
the environment. The bill maintains $500,000 to help improve 
water efficiency at the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in 
order to maintain, improve, and replace and upgrade refuge 
infrastructure per the direction included in the accompanying 
statement in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public 
Law 116-260). The bill also provides $2,500,000 for the Marine 
National Monuments, and $3,000,000 for nutria eradication.
    Refuge Visitor Services are provided $78,969,000, an 
increase of $2,969,000 to the enacted level. The Committee 
directs the Service to provide no less than enacted funding for 
the Arctic Youth Ambassadors program and for the Urban Wildlife 
Conservation Program within Refuge Visitor Services.
    Urban Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge.--The 
Committee directs the Services' Urban Wildlife Conservation 
Program to continue partnerships with organizations that 
provide expertise in Indigenous traditional ecological and 
cultural knowledge, capacity building, employee training, and 
development and evaluation of training methodologies provided 
by such organizations in western States.
    Refuge maintenance is provided $150,901,000, an increase of 
$2,901,000 to the enacted level.
    Refuge Law Enforcement is provided $49,003,000, an increase 
of $3,503,000 to the enacted level.
    Refuge Management Plans.--The bill provides $2,880,000 for 
Refuge Planning. The Committee is concerned that a number of 
refuge management plans have not been updated for many years, 
and directs the Service to prioritize updating management plans 
to improve the management of the oldest Refuges in a manner 
consistent with the strategic vision of the National Wildlife 
Refuge System.
    Trapping in National Wildlife Refuges.--The Committee 
understands that the Service makes efforts to provide 
information to the public regarding acceptable trapping 
practices on refuge lands. The Service is directed to improve 
efforts to inform the public about acceptable trapping 
practices and collect data on trapping activities in refuges, 
and to share those efforts and outcomes with the Committee.
    European Green Crab.--The Committee recognizes invasive 
European green crab is becoming an increasing problem and 
provides $300,000 for European green crab eradication efforts 
at affected National Wildlife Refuges. Further, the Service and 
its partners are directed to jointly brief the Committee no 
later than 90 days after enactment on this act on their 
collective efforts to address European green crab.
    Additional National Wildlife Refuge System funding guidance 
is provided below.
    Klamath Restoration.--The Service is directed to consider 
additional activities that could be undertaken to recover 
endangered and threatened species, restore habitat, and improve 
the health of the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges with 
the funds provided in fiscal year 2025 and during the fiscal 
year 2026 budget formulation. The Service is also encouraged to 
continue to coordinate with the Bureau of Reclamation where 
appropriate and consult with Tribes.
    Additional National Refuge System guidance is provided 
below.
    Staffing of the National Wildlife Refuge System.--Over the 
past decade, the Refuge System's full-time equivalent [FTE] 
staffing has decreased while the Refuge System has continued to 
grow. Within funds provided, the Committee encourages the 
Service to prioritize hiring and retention of FTEs particularly 
to fill longstanding vacancies in the refuge system such as at 
the Northern Maine Wildlife Refuge Complex and Chesapeake 
Marshlands National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
    Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge.--The Committee 
encourages the Service to contribute funding aligned with 
commitments established in the 2018 license agreement with the 
South Florida Water Management District towards the management 
of invasive plant infestations, including Old World Climbing 
Fern, which threaten the value of this resource, ongoing 
Everglades restoration efforts, the provision of critical 
wildlife habitat, and the enjoyment of the public.
    Chesapeake Marshlands National Wildlife Refuge Complex.--
The Committee supports the Service's collaboration with non-
Federal partners to develop and implement the Blackwater 2100 
``A Strategy for Salt Marsh Persistence in an Era of Climate 
Change.'' The plan seeks to restore and protect 800-1,000 acres 
of marsh, which is one-fifth of tidal marsh losses since the 
1930's, using thin layer placement, living shorelines, invasive 
species control, research, and other management strategies to 
enhance climate change resiliency and protect communities.
    John H. Chafee National Wildlife Refuge.--The Committee 
supports the salt marsh restoration work in the John H. Chafee 
National Wildlife Refuge to enhance salt marsh resiliency with 
native plantings and through improved drainage and tidal 
flushing. Furthermore, the Committee directs the Service to 
prioritize these ongoing efforts.
    Polar Bear Tourism.--The Committee is aware of significant 
concerns among residents in Kaktovik, Alaska, related to the 
Service's program for polar bear viewing. While tourism has 
increased significantly in recent years, the Committee has 
received reports of bears becoming less fearful of humans as a 
result of tourism, leading to more human encounters with bears 
within the village. In addition, tourism has reportedly made it 
more difficult for local residents to travel to and from 
Kaktovik, given the limited availability of air service. The 
Committee instructs the Service to review its program for polar 
bear tourism, consult and incorporate the views of Kaktovik 
residents in its decisions related to the program, and explore 
cooperative management of the Beaufort polar bear population 
with Native peoples in the village.
    Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge.--The Committee 
directs the Service to continue to follow the directive from 
previous fiscal years that prohibits a caribou hunt on 
Kagalaska Island and efforts to remove cattle on Chirikof and 
Wosnesenski Islands in the State of Alaska.
    Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.--The Committee is aware 
that the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge has identified 2,500 
acres of forested habitat impacted by spruce bark beetles, 
currently ready for treatment, several acres of which are 
adjacent to existing roads, facilities, campgrounds, trails and 
other high use recreation sites. In an effort to protect the 
refuge and surrounding communities, the Committee encourages 
the Service to treat the 2,500 high priority acres ready for 
treatment within the funds provided. These treatments would 
meet multiple objectives by removing beetle-killed trees and 
reducing risk to the public, employees and infrastructure, 
while reducing accumulations of hazardous fuels.
    Good Neighbor Agreements.--The Committee notes that forest 
ecosystems in the National Wildlife Refuge System are 
susceptible to elevated wildfire risk, drought, and insect and 
disease infestation much like forestland under the 
administrative jurisdiction of other Federal land management 
agencies. The Committee recognizes that the environmental 
stewardship of national wildlife refuges and adjacent non-
Federal lands would benefit if the Service offered cross-
boundary fuels reduction projects to neighboring State, local, 
and Tribal governments similar to those issued by the Bureau of 
Land Management and the USDA Forest Service under Good Neighbor 
Agreements [GNA]. Thus, the bill provides the authority for 
this work in Section 445.
    Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument.--The 
Committee encourages the Service to update commitments and 
funding contributions established in its 2016 agreement with 
neighboring landowners for the conservation and management of 
fish, wildlife, and their habitats at Palmyra Atoll. The 
Committee supports continuing these efforts, particularly the 
management of invasive species, climate change threats, ongoing 
native forest restoration efforts, the provision of critical 
wildlife habitat, and the benefit of the public.
    Conservation & Enforcement.--The bill provides $177,280,000 
for Conservation and Enforcement, an increase of $3,616,000 to 
the enacted level.
    The recommendation maintains $3,500,000 for the Service's 
work with the Indian Arts and Crafts Board to combat 
trafficking of counterfeit arts and crafts, and to conduct 
criminal investigations of alleged violations of the Indian 
Arts and Crafts Act (Public Law 101-644).
    ePermits Operations.--The Committee does not support the 
creation of a new subactivity by transferring funding to the 
International Affairs program at this time.
    Big Cats Public Safety Act Enforcement.--The Committee is 
aware of the Service's additional responsibilities pursuant to 
the enactment of Public Law 117-243. The Committee would like 
to ensure that the Service has adequate resources to implement 
and enforce this act. The Committee encourages the Service to 
collaborate with United States Department of Agriculture and 
the Department of Justice and reminds the Service of the 
directive to report to the Committee within 90 days of 
enactment of this act on staffing, implementation, enforcement 
status, and additional funding needs related to Public Law 117-
243.
    Wildlife Trafficking.--The Service plays a critical role in 
the ongoing effort to combat the global crisis of wildlife 
poaching and trafficking, which escalates the risk of animal-
to-human disease transmission and is driven by demand for high-
value illegal wildlife products, facilitated by sophisticated 
criminal networks profiting from this multi-billion dollar 
black market industry. Poaching of rhinoceros, pangolin, loris, 
and elephants has reached unprecedented levels, and illegal 
trade is undermining the conservation of scores of other 
species. The Committee continues to support government-wide 
efforts to combat wildlife trafficking. The bill maintains 
resources that will support the Service in continuing to 
strengthen its forensic capabilities to disrupt smuggling 
networks; improve collaboration with other Federal, State, 
local, and foreign governments; and promote international 
wildlife conservation. The Committee remains concerned about 
the global health risk from wildlife to human disease 
transmission, particularly in light of recent national health 
emergencies.
    International Affairs.--The bill includes $30,057,000 for 
International Affairs. Long-term success for conserving 
wildlife and wild places relies on building the capacity in 
countries for managing their own protected areas and species, 
including among Indigenous Peoples and communities. Within the 
amount provided, the Committee encourages the Service to 
support projects that foster partnerships with universities or 
other institutions that are educating the current and next 
generations of conservationists.
    Migratory Bird Management.--The bill provides $54,277,000 
which includes $31,108,000 for Conservation and Monitoring, 
$17,021,000 for the North American Waterfowl Management Plan 
activities, and $611,000 for the Federal Duck Stamp Program.
    Incidental Take for Migratory Birds.--The Committee is 
concerned with the decline of North American bird species, 
including the 1,093 species of birds protected under the 
Migratory Bird Treaty Act [MBTA] that are experiencing 
population decreases due to a variety of threats. The Committee 
supports the Service's work to establish an incidental take 
authorization program within the permitting program for the 
MBTA.
    Pacific Flyway.--The Committee is concerned about avian 
biodiversity and habitat in the Pacific Flyway. Several species 
within the flyway are experiencing severe declines and small 
populations and are at risk of extirpation, particularly at the 
critical stop over points. The Committee supports science-based 
research and decision-making on habitat requirements, regional 
movements, and population connectivity that will guide 
management and conservation of these species and their habitats 
in the Pacific Flyway.
    Mississippi Flyway.--The Mathews Brake National Wildlife 
Refuge encompasses more than 2,000 acres of migratory bird 
habitat in the Yazoo River Basin, which is the heart of the 
Mississippi Flyway. The Committee is concerned about the impact 
of water hyacinth and other invasive aquatic plants on habitat 
availability within the Refuge, and urges the Service to 
address the problem using funding made available in this act to 
improve this important habitat, as appropriate.
    Fish and Aquatic Conservation.--The bill provides 
$239,687,000 for Fish and Aquatic Conservation, $12,894,000 
more than the enacted level. The Committee encourages the 
Service to include adequate support for mitigation activities 
at National Fish Hatcheries in future budget submissions. 
Additionally, funds are maintained for the improvements to 
aquatic habitat through the removal of locks and dams. The bill 
maintains $3,750,000 for Klamath Restoration and provides 
$11,750,000 for Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement activities, 
an increase of $2,000,000 to the enacted level. Further, the 
enacted level is continued for implementation of the Pacific 
Salmon Treaty. The Service is directed to work in cooperation 
with State fish and game agencies. This includes funding for 
anadromous salmonids for implementation of the Yukon River 
Salmon Agreement.
    National Fish Habitat Program.--The Committee understands 
that the Service has worked to reduce administrative costs in 
the National Fish Habitat program and encourages the Service to 
seek to reduce these costs further to make additional funding 
available to projects recommended and submitted by the National 
Fish Habitat Board for approval by the Secretary.
    National Fish Hatchery System Operations.--The bill 
provides $83,978,000 for National Fish Hatchery System 
Operations. This is $8,873,000 above the enacted level. The 
Aquatic Animal Drug Approval Partnership is funded at 
$1,200,000, equal to the request. Funding in the amount of 
$8,000,000, equal to the enacted level, is provided for the 
Warm Springs Fish Health Center [FHC] which provides disease 
diagnosis, biosecurity and disease management, disease 
treatment and prevention, fish health inspection services for 
Federal, State, and Tribal hatcheries responsible for 
production of salmonids and warm water species for recovery, 
restoration, and recreational fisheries, and inspections and 
certifications for the National Triploid Grass Carp Program. 
Additional funding is provided to develop environmental DNA 
tools to forecast and detect aquatic invasive species, aquatic 
nuisance species, aquatic pathogens, and rare species for 
Federal, State, and Tribal hatcheries.
    Columbia River Basin Ecosystem Restoration Infrastructure 
Improvements.--The salmon and steelhead hatcheries, adult fish 
traps, and juvenile release facilities along the lower Snake 
River and in the Columbia River Basin are facing immediate and 
significant infrastructure improvement needs due to aging 
critical infrastructure including pipelines, generators, and 
rearing units. While this is not the responsibility of the 
Service alone, the Committee believes the water development 
agencies should be contributing more to protect threatened and 
endangered species. Multiple partners are necessary to fully 
address mitigation activities in the basin, therefore the 
Committee directs the Service to continue dialogue with the 
multiple partners involved to come to a viable solution in 
fiscal year 2025. In the meantime, the Committee directs the 
Service to assist States and Tribes with accelerating critical 
capital and maintenance projects to improve salmon and 
steelhead facilities on the lower Snake River and Columbia 
River basin, and the bill provides $6,000,000 within National 
Fish Hatchery Operations for these efforts.
    6PPD.--The Committee is concerned with the impact of 6p-
phenylene-diameine (6PPD) and its transformant, 6PPD-quinone 
(6PPD-q), on aquatic ecosystems. Stormwater runoff containing 
6PPD-q has already been linked to mass die-offs of endangered 
and threatened fish species across the Puget Sound and San 
Francisco Bay watersheds. The Committee supports the Service's 
work to better understand the impacts of 6PPD and 6PPD-q on 
aquatic species in freshwater environments. The Committee 
directs the Service to continue coordinating across Federal and 
State agencies on 6PPD research and management and to continue 
to work across agencies on robust government-to-government 
consultation with impacted Tribes. The Service is directed to 
provide a briefing to the Committee within 90 days of enactment 
of this act on its 6PPD-related activities, including the 
Service's current strategy, an overview of research work 
completed to date, a plan for addressing potential data gaps, 
recommendations for future research activities, and potential 
funding sources.
    Maintenance and Equipment.--The bill provides $25,328,000 
for maintenance and equipment expenses related to the National 
Fish Hatchery System. A portion of the funding provided for 
National Fish Hatchery Maintenance and Equipment should be 
allocated to hatcheries where partner agencies fund mitigation 
work.
    Aquatic Habitat and Species Conservation.--The bill 
provides $130,381,000 for aquatic habitat and species 
conservation. This amount is an increase of $3,793,000 to than 
the enacted level. Within aquatic habitat and species

          --Habitat Assessment and Restoration.--The Committee 
        recommends $50,176,000 for habitat assessment and 
        restoration activities. Funding is provided in the 
        amount of $11,500,000 for activities associated with 
        the Delaware River Basin Conservation Act (Public Law 
        114-322). The Service is encouraged to support the 
        Delaware River Basin Restoration Program's existing, 
        successful practice of allowing cash or in-kind 
        contributions of services or materials to be used for 
        the non-Department of the Interior share of the cost of 
        a project funded under the grant program. The bill also 
        provides $15,000,000 for fish passage improvements, 
        equal to the enacted level. Within the provided 
        funding, the bill provides an additional $1,000,000 for 
        the Service to comply with the instructions and 
        requirements in the explanatory statement accompanying 
        Public Law 117-328, the Consolidated Appropriations 
        Act, 2023, regarding implementation of the Fisheries 
        Restoration and Irrigation Mitigation Act [FRIMA] 
        (Public Law 106-502).
          --Population Assessment and Cooperative Management.--
        The Committee recommends $29,664,000 for population 
        assessment and cooperative management activities, an 
        increase of $1,051,000 to the enacted level. Great 
        Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Grants are provided 
        $3,000,000. The program supports critical work to 
        restore Great Lakes fisheries and inform management 
        decisions through sound science. This includes the 
        Great Lakes Mass Marking Program, which is essential to 
        assessing hatchery production and supporting a robust 
        fishery. Within funds provided, the Service is 
        encouraged to support these important efforts. The 
        recommendation maintains enacted funding for the Lake 
        Champlain sea lamprey program at $818,000.

          The Committee remains concerned by the decline of 
        American shad in coastal rivers and encourages the 
        Service to collaborate with academic research 
        institutions to research, monitor, conserve, and 
        restore other anadromous fish, in close collaboration 
        with state, Tribal, and local governments.
    Further the Committee agrees with the proposed reduction 
for eradication activities, per the budget request.
          --Aquatic Invasive Species.--The Committee recommends 
        $50,541,000 for aquatic invasive species activities, an 
        increase of $398,000 to the enacted level. Within these 
        funds, $5,038,000 has been maintained to implement 
        section 5(d)(2) of the Lake Tahoe Restoration Act 
        (Public Law 106-506). Funding for research on hydrilla, 
        eel, and milfoil invasive grasses is maintained at the 
        enacted level.

    Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon Commission.--The bill 
maintains $700,000 for the Connecticut River Atlantic Salmon 
Compact, as authorized in Public Law 98-138, for research, 
monitoring, conservation, and habitat restoration work related 
to this high-priority watershed. The Committee directs that the 
Secretary undertake a special resource study of the National 
significance of, and the suitability and feasibility of 
carrying out a basin-scale, nonregulatory program of 
conservation, stewardship, and enhancement of habitat for fish 
and wildlife in Connecticut River basin.
    Non-Intrusive Zebra Mussel Elimination.--The Committee 
recommends $3,500,000 for zebra mussel eradication, equal to 
the enacted level. The Committee is aware of the environmental 
and economic threat posed by invasive quagga and zebra mussels.
    Invasive Carp.--The Committee recognizes the importance of 
the work conducted by the Service to combat the serious threat 
of invasive carp and recommends $31,000,000 for invasive carp 
activities, across invasive carp and Contract Fishing 
subaccounts. Overall, this funding is aimed at protecting and 
enhancing activities in the Great Lakes to prevent invasive 
carp from entering and establishing in the Great Lakes. Funding 
provided should also be used to control invasive carp in the 
Mississippi River and its Sub-basins, including the Upper 
Mississippi River Sub-basin; Missouri River Sub-basin; 
Arkansas-Red-White River Sub-basin; Lower Mississippi River 
Sub-basin; Tennessee Cumberland Sub-basin; and Ohio River Sub-
basin, including in Kentucky Lake, Lake Barkley, and the Ohio 
River. The Service should consider the utility of creating a 
dedicated funding source to increase the intensity and 
geographic scope of efforts to prevent entry into the Great 
Lakes and control in areas where invasive carp are currently 
located. The Service is directed to continue to work with those 
States with existing cooperative agreements, including non-
profits, to develop and implement innovative solutions to 
reduce invasive carp populations.
    The Committee encourages the Service to focus on invasive 
species removal as it relates to the eradication efforts for 
invasive Carp. While the Committee recognizes the importance of 
studying and understanding invasive carp patterns, the Service 
is encouraged to take action on a strategy that increases the 
focus on biomass removal.
    Additionally, $4,400,000 is provided for implementation of 
State Aquatic Nuisance Species management plans to help control 
the spread of invasive carp.
    Invasive Species Competitive Grants.--The Committee is 
aware that work is ongoing in several regions to address the 
threats posed by aquatic invasive species and directs the 
Service to continue to make available competitive grant funding 
for projects to eliminate these destructive, non-native 
species.
    Prioritization of Combatting Invasive Plant and Animal 
Species.--Invasive plant and animal species are a pervasive 
problem affecting communities across the Nation. Invasives, 
such as the carp, European Green Crab, nutria, quagga and zebra 
mussels, emerald ash borer, Eurasian milfoil, elodea, and the 
Hemlock Woolly Adelgid threaten our natural resources and wreak 
havoc on the communities and industries that rely upon them. 
Preventing invasive species from gaining a foothold in our 
communities and suppressing established species is of utmost 
importance. The Committee makes several increases to programs 
designed to combat invasive species before and after they 
become a problem. The Committee encourages the Service to 
support research, monitoring, mitigation, and outreach efforts 
in all regions.
    Quagga Mussel.--The Committee recognizes the potential 
threat of invasive quagga mussels in the Pacific Northwest and 
directs the Service to brief the Committee no later than 90

previous fiscal years.

                         National Park Service

    Since the creation of Yellowstone National Park in 1872, 
the National Park System has grown to encompass 430 sites 
spanning more than 85 million acres in all 50 States, the 
District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, 
Saipan, and the Virgin Islands. The National Park Service 
[Service], created in 1916, is charged with preserving these 
sites ``unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.'' 
The Service and its employees also contribute to the protection 
of other historical, cultural, and recreational resources 
through a variety of grant and technical assistance programs. 
More than 300 million people visit National Park units each 
year.
    Since the enactment of the Great American Outdoors Act 
(Public Law 116-152), the Service has an unprecedented 
opportunity to make investments into addressing backlog 
maintenance of critical park infrastructure. The Committee is

$6,702,000 less than the enacted level and $6,020,000 less than 
to the budget request.
    Adaptive Recreation Equipment.--The Committee supports the 
Service's work in expanding accessible options for outdoor 
recreation, including through partnerships with external 
organizations to ensure that adaptive recreation equipment is 
available for use by visitors with disabilities. The Committee 
directs the Service to prioritize these partnerships to provide 
more opportunities for more visitors to explore more areas of 
the outdoors for adaptive hiking, hunting, birding, kayaking, 
and other activities on snow, sand, water, uneven terrain, and 
more.
    Appalachian National Scenic Trail.--The Appalachian 
National Scenic Trail is a 2,190-mile linear park stretching 
through 14 States and 88 counties, more than any other unit of 
the National Park System. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail 
draws visitors from all over the United States and the world, 
bolstering the economy of the communities along the trail. The 
Committee is aware that the Trail is experiencing increased 
visitation and encourages the Service to include sufficient 
resources in future budget requests to meet its expanded 
visitor services, law enforcement, compliance, and land 
acquisition requirements.
    Beaver Conservation.--The Committee encourages the Service 
to prioritize restoration of current and historic riparian 
areas in ways that support beaver populations, use 
infrastructure that is beaver friendly, allow for beavers to 
construct dams and otherwise influence water flow in lieu of 
hard infrastructure where appropriate, and is mindful of the 
ways in which beavers can influence a landscape.
    Biscayne National Park.--The Committee continues to support 
the Memorandum of Understanding [MOU] between Biscayne National 
Park [BNP] and the State of Florida's Fish and Wildlife

provide the water, biological, energy, and mineral resources 
information needed by other Federal, State, Tribal, and local 
government agencies to guide planning, management, and 
regulatory programs. Scientists, technicians, and support staff 
of the Survey are located in nearly 400 offices in every State 
and in several foreign countries throughout the world. The 
Survey leverages its resources and expertise in partnership 
with more than 2,000 agencies of Federal, State, local, and 
Tribal governments; the academic community; nongovernmental 
organizations; and the private sector.

totaling $55,000,000. The detailed allocation of funding by 
program and activity is included in the table accompanying this 
report. Program directives and specific funding requirements 
are noted in the following narrative.
    Renewable Energy.--As the Bureau refines the offshore wind 
permitting process, it must include steps to understand 
existing ocean uses and the opportunities for meaningful 
community benefits by consulting early and often with the 
commercial fishing industry and other stakeholders, for which 
the Rhode Island Ocean Special Area Management Plan provides a 
model. The Bureau must also enhance its partnership with the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to support 
research and incorporate mutual data and recommendations on the 
siting and development of offshore wind projects.
    Offshore waters also contain cultural and natural resources 
of significance and value to Tribal communities. The Committee 
appreciates the Department's commitment to Tribal co-
stewardship and implementing the Joint Secretarial Order on 
Fulfilling the Trust Responsibility to Indian Tribes in the 
Stewardship of Federal Lands and Waters. In this effort, the 
Bureau is expected to work on effective engagement, 
incorporating Indigenous knowledge and Tribal input into 
decision-making processes, and assisting Tribes to build 
capacity for active participation in all stages of project 
development.
    Due to the increasing number of offshore wind proposals and 
the need for coordination and collaboration on regional 
research and monitoring of the impacts to marine wildlife and 
habitats, the Committee expects the Bureau to continue work 
with the Regional Wildlife Science Collaborative to support the 
priorities stated in the science plan, including a passive 
acoustic monitoring network. Further, the Bureau should pursue 
opportunities to expand public-private partnerships to leverage 
the resources, expertise, and capacity in the private sector to 
provide the scientific data needed for meeting offshore wind 
generation goals.
    Conventional Energy.--The Committee expects the Bureau to 
meet the statutory requirements provided in the Infrastructure 
Investment and Jobs Act and Inflation Reduction Act, including 
time-specific deadlines, and to conduct its predecisional work 
in accordance with those deadlines.
    Carbon Sequestration.--The Committee strongly urges the 
Bureau to publish the proposed rule on carbon, capture, and 
sequestration required by Public Law 117-58 by the end of 
calendar year 2024 and to provide a briefing to the Senate 
Committees on Appropriations and Energy and Natural Resources 
and the House Committees on Appropriations and Natural 
Resources on the Bureau's progress toward meeting that deadline 
within 30 days of enactment of this act and every 30 days 
thereafter until it is published.
    Marine Minerals.--The Bureau is expected to continue 
critical mineral assessments and activities, including in the 
Gulf of Mexico, including exploring potential mineral resources 
in deep water and implementing new technologies in ocean 
exploration and sampling processes. The Bureau is further 
encouraged to maintain its partnerships with academia to 
characterize the environment of potential marine mineral 
resources, utilizing universities and research institutions 
with expertise in deepwater exploration to evaluate mineral 
deposits using technologies that minimize disturbance to the 
seabed ecosystem.

[OSMRE] was established in 1977 to oversee and carry out the 
requirements of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act 
(Public Law 95-87) in concert with States and Indian Tribes. 
OSMRE's primary objectives are to ensure coal mining activities 
are conducted in a manner that protects citizens and the 
environment during mining, ensure the land is properly 
reclaimed, and mitigate effects of past mining by reclaiming 
historic coal abandoned mine land [AML]. OSMRE addresses its 
mission through grants to States and Tribes to carry out their 
own regulatory and reclamation programs and the administration 
of OSMRE's regulatory and reclamation programs. The Surface 
Mining Control and Reclamation Act Amendments of 2006 (Public 
Law 109-432) revised the mine reclamation fee distribution 
mechanism beginning in fiscal year 2008. State and Tribal 
reclamation grants are now provided under mandatory 
appropriations instead of through this bill.

                       REGULATION AND TECHNOLOGY

$34,207,000 shall be derived from the Abandoned Mine 
Reclamation Fund and $130,000,000 shall be derived from the 
General Fund. The detailed allocation of funding by activity is 
included in the table accompanying this report.
    The Committee is committed to ensuring States and Tribes 
are able to access and utilize funding from the Infrastructure 
Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58) to reclaim 
abandoned mine land across the country as expeditiously as 
possible. To that end, the Committee expects the Office to work 
with and solicit input from the States and Tribes to simplify 
the process where possible and directs OSMRE to consider 
synchronizing reporting requirements.
    Passive Treatment Protection Program Grants.--The Committee 
continues support for grants to assist State and local 
governments and non-governmental organizations with the 
operation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of mine drainage 
passive treatment systems. The Committee notes that States and 
Tribes receiving AML funds through the Infrastructure 
Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58) may set aside up to 
30 percent of that funding each year for these projects.
    Appalachian Regional Reforestation Initiative [ARRI].--The 
Committee notes that the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 
(Public Law 117-58) provided $200,000,000 for replanting on 
formerly mined lands, for activities such as ARRI. Therefore, 
the Committee expects ongoing support for ARRI, including staff 
time and equipment.
    State and Tribal Economic Revitalization Grants.--The bill 
provides a total of $130,000,000 for the Abandoned Mine Land 
Economic Revitalization [AMLER] grants to States and federally 
recognized Indian Tribes for the reclamation of abandoned mine 
land in conjunction with economic and community development and 
reuse goals. Program changes were made in fiscal year 2024 to 
expedite funding to recipients, but the Committee remains 
concerned that these changes will not result in expedited 
project completion. The Office is directed to brief the 
Committee within 90 days of enactment of this act on 
implementing GAO's recommendations detailed in GAO-24-106680 
and specifically, meeting States' goals for project review.
    For fiscal year 2025, $86,000,000 shall be divided equally 
between the three Appalachian States with the largest unfunded 
needs for the reclamation of Priority 1 and Priority 2 sites as 
delineated in the AML Inventory System; and $33,000,000 shall 
be divided equally between the next three Appalachian States 
with the largest unfunded needs for the reclamation of Priority 
1 and Priority 2 sites as delineated in the AML Inventory 
System; and $11,000,000 shall be for grants to federally 
recognized Indian Tribes.

Act [ICWA], a program increase of $1,500,000 to the enacted 
level to support ICWA grants to assist American Indians and 
Alaska Natives to assert their sovereignty under ICWA and to 
protect the rights of children in State welfare and judicial 
systems. The Committee expects the Bureau to continue to work 
with Tribes through Tribal consultation in the delivery of 
services to children and families within Indian Country.
    The Committee also acknowledges the discrepancy of Alaska 
Native and American Indian children that are disproportionately 
represented in foster care systems and Tribes are the only 
entity in Children in Need of Assistance [CINA] cases not 
provided an attorney by the state. The Committee notes funds 
included shall be used to meet the ICWA's mandate and attorney 
assistance in CINA cases.
    The Committee includes $250,000 to produce a plan to share 
information on the recommendations included in the Native 
Children Commission's report with Indian Country and other 
stakeholders. Funds are also available to begin implementing 
this plan to support their integration into Federal practice 
and for Tribal leaders to continue working with the 
recommendations as a priority for Federal, State and Tribal 
synergies that will transform outcomes for Native children and 
youth.
    Housing Improvement Program.--The bill provides $11,961,000 
for the Housing Program.
    Trust-Natural Resources Management.--The bill provides 
$333,561,000 for Trust and Natural Resources programs, an 
increase of $11,212,000 to the enacted level.
    It is the Committee's understanding that the Bureau has 
entered into cooperative agreements with Ahtna Inter-Tribal 
Resource Commission and the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal 
Fisheries Commission, and has initiated similar agreements with 
other organizations. Therefore, it is the Committee's 
expectation that within the funding provided, pilot projects 
and programs for Alaska subsistence will continue. The Bureau 
will report to the Committee within 60 days of enactment of 
this act on a distribution plan for these funds.
    Within funds for Natural Resources, an increase of 
$1,000,000 to the enacted level is provide to support the 
Indian Youth Service Corps.
    Rights Protection Implementation.--The bill provides 
$49,959,000 for Rights Protection Implementation, an increase 
of $500,000 to the enacted level and $759,000 more than the 
request. Within the funding increases provided for Rights 
Protection Implementation, an additional $500,000 is provided 
in a general program increase to benefit the off-reservation 
hunting, fishing, and gathering rights supported by this 
program.
    The Committee continues support for the Bureau's 
partnership with local Tribes and the U.S. Geological Survey to 
help develop a water quality strategy for transboundary rivers.
    The Committee supports those Tribal communities who must 
meet treaty obligations and directs the Bureau to report to the 
Committee within 60 days of enactment of this act outlining 
mitigation strategies under this subactivity that could help 
these communities meet their treaty obligations.
    Tribal Management/Development Program.--The bill provides 
$18,837,000 for the Tribal Management/Development Program, an 
increase of $293,000 to the enacted level and $141,000 more the 
budget request. The additional funding provided supports 
expanding capacity for Tribal participation in natural resource 
decisionmaking.
    Endangered Species.--The bill provides $6,010,000 for 
Endangered Species.
    Tribal Climate Resilience.--The bill provides $37,339,000 
for Tribal Climate Resilience. The provided funding includes 
funding for relocation grants, for which all Tribes shall be 
eligible, and Tribal climate adaptation grants.
    The Committee reminds the Bureau that the Denali Commission 
was designated as the lead coordinating agency for Alaska 
Native village relocation in 2015, and the Commission has been 
leading the efforts since then. The Committee recommends the 
Bureau work closely with the Commission in order to avoid 
duplication of work and to take advantage of the Commission's 
expertise in the area when considering relocation grants. An 
additional $3,000,000 is made available to support critically 
vulnerable Tribal communities including coastal and Alaska 
Native Villages.
    Integrated Resource Information Program.--The bill provides 
$2,993,000 for Integrated Resource Information Program.
    Agriculture and Range Program.--The bill provides 
$41,937,000 for the Agriculture and Range Program, an increase 
of $2,499,000 to the enacted level. This includes $14,300,000 
for Invasive Species and $27,637,000 for the Agriculture 
Program [TPA]. The program increase for invasive species is 
provided to address the spread of invasive European Green Crab, 
with further direction explained below. Additionally, the 
Committee directs the BIA to provide information on the 
historic geographic distribution of funds provided by the 
Agriculture and Range program.
    European Green Crab.--The Committee remains concerned by 
the rapid and growing invasion of European green crab around 
the country, including in the Pacific Northwest. This invasive 
species is resilient to rising water temperatures caused by 
climate change. This crab species preys on native vegetation 
which is important habitat for endangered salmon and other 
species that are critical to uphold Tribal treaty rights and 
Puget Sound recovery. The Committee provides $2,000,000 to 
address the spread of invasive European Green Crab in the Puget 
Sound region. The Committee directs the Bureau to coordinate 
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to ensure a 
comprehensive Federal approach to addressing the threat posed 
by European green crab, mitigate harm, and protect native crab 
and other shellfish populations. Further, the Bureau and its 
Federal partners are directed to jointly brief the Committee no 
later than 90 days after enactment of this act on their 
collective efforts to address European Green Crab.
    Tribal Forestry.--The bill provides $64,082,000 for Tribal 
Forestry, an increase of $1,195,000 more than the enacted level 
and a program increase of $500,000. Of these funds, $28,414,000 
is provided for Forestry Projects and $35,668,000 for base 
funding.
    The Department of the Interior is expected to promote and 
expand the use of agreements with Indian Tribes to protect 
Indian trust resources from catastrophic wildfire, insect and 
disease infestation, or other threats from adjacent Federal 
lands, as authorized by law. The Committee reminds the Bureau 
of the directive to coordinate with the Office of Wildland Fire 
to submit a report describing how the Department determines the 
use of wildfire suppression and rehabilitation resources and 
prioritizes Indian forest land. The Committee notes that many 
Tribal communities are at a heightened risk of wildfire due to 
funding constraints and a fire detection deficit. In order to 
address the heightened fire risks, the Committee directs the 
Bureau to take special consideration of pre-fire detection 
technologies to protect the public, property, vital 
infrastructure, cultural resources, and natural resources, and 
adopt strategies for their implementation across Tribal lands. 
The Committee also reminds the Bureau of the directive in the 
explanatory statement accompanying the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103) to provide a 
report within 1 year summarizing the fire detection deficits 
across Tribal lands and their efforts to prioritize early 
detection strategies and fire mitigation as part of the Natural 
Resources Management Program, and looks forward to that report.
    Water Resources.--The bill provides $18,103,000, which 
includes $8,315,000 for Water Resources [TPA], and $9,788,000 
for Water Management, Planning and Pre-development.
    Fish, Wildlife and Parks.--The bill provides $25,344,000 
for Fish, Wildlife and Parks programs, which includes 
$11,616,000 for Wildlife and Parks [TPA] and $13,228,000 for 
Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Projects, a total program increase of 
$1,500,000 to support the operation and maintenance of fish 
hatcheries.
    Energy and Minerals.--The bill provides $31,038,000 for 
Energy and Minerals. The Bureau is directed to update the 
Committee on open GAO recommendations related to GAO-22-103514 
regarding the Indian Energy Service Center. Specifically, the 
report should detail the establishment of performance goals and 
related outcome-oriented performance measures. If GAO's 
recommendations remain open, the report should detail a 
timeline for closing out the recommendations.
    Resource Management Program Oversight.--The bill provides 
$8,353,000 for Resource Management Program Oversight.
    Trust-Real Estate Services.--The bill provides $172,127,000 
for trust-real estate services programs, an increase of 
$6,240,000. The Committee directs no less than the enacted 
program level of $450,000 for the certification of historical 
places and cultural sites, including Alaska Native Claims 
Settlement Act [ANCSA] (Public Law 92-203) sites.
    Mortgages on Indian Land.--The Committee directs the Bureau 
to process and complete all mortgage packages associated with 
residential and business mortgages on Indian land abiding by 
the current Bureau mortgage handbook deadlines for reviewing 
and processing residential and business leasehold mortgages, 
land mortgages, and rights of way.
    Probate.--The Committee is concerned about the length of 
time it takes for BIA to probate Tribal citizens' assets and 
the administrative burden associated with the process. Within 
60 days of enactment of this act, BIA is directed to provide a 
report indicating how many FTEs the BIA would need nationally 
to reduce the probate backlog to less than 2 years in each 
region; the resources BIA would need to ensure technical 
assistance to ensure proper training and capacity for self-
governance providers handling probate packages; and the average 
amount of time it takes for Interior to complete the probate 
process for eligible States and what, if any, opportunities 
exist to improve timeliness and comply with regulatory 
deadlines.
    To help reduce the probate backlog and help process lands 
records, rights of way, and other real estate functions, the 
bill provides $19,184,000 for Trust-Real Estate Services 
Oversight, a total program increase of $2,250,000, of which 
$1,500,000 is provided to Central Oversight and $750,000 to 
Regional Oversight, additionally, $15,324,000 is provided for 
Probate [TPA], an increase of $1,184,000 to the enacted level.
    Public Safety and Justice.--The bill provides $572,822,000 
for Public Safety and Justice programs, an increase of 
$17,263,000 to the enacted level.
    Criminal Investigations and Police Services.--The bill 
provides $283,722,000 for Criminal Investigations and Police 
Services, a $9,570,000 increase to the enacted level. The 
increased funding is provided to support an increase in the 
number of officers and investigators on the ground performing 
crucial public safety services on a 24/7 basis in Indian 
Country.
    For funds dispersed for fiscal years 2022 and 2023 to 
address the impacts of the McGirt v. Oklahoma decision, the 
Bureau, in coordination with the Oklahoma Tribal recipients for 
McGirt related public safety and justice funding, is required, 
to the maximum extent practicable, to report on the number and 
specific types of convictions in their respective court 
systems. Additionally, the report is required to include 
barriers to collecting this data from Tribes and any statutory 
updates needed to best accomplish conviction reporting under 
these funds. The Bureau is expected to deliver a report to the 
Committee within 60 days of enactment of this act.
    The Committee recognizes the critical need for increased 
law enforcement resources in Tribal communities, including 
those in Public Law 280 (PL 280) States. Despite the 
jurisdictional limitations imposed by PL 280, the safety and 
well-being of Tribal communities remain a top concern. To 
address the challenges these communities face, the Committee 
directs the BIA to conduct comprehensive Tribal consultation 
with Tribes in PL 280 States, aiming to explore the available 
flexibilities that would enable these Tribes to utilize their 
existing and future resources more effectively for law 
enforcement purposes, given the importance of ensuring Tribes 
have the flexibility and resources to improve public safety 
within their communities. The consultation should specifically 
consider the potential for Tribes to use their Tribal Priority 
Allocations (TPA) for law enforcement needs, among other 
possible avenues. The Committee directs the BIA to report to 
the Committee within 180 days of the enactment of this act on 
the outcomes of the consultation and any recommended actions to 
support Tribal law enforcement in PL 280 States.
    The Committee remains concerned about the theft, looting, 
and trafficking of sacred objects and items of cultural 
patrimony, and notes the importance of enforcing the Native 
American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act [NAGPRA], or 
other related laws. The bill provides continued funding for 
these activities, equal to the fiscal year 2024 enacted level.
    The Committee also expects the recidivism initiative 
administered through the Tiwahe initiative to be continued. 
Within the amounts provided, the Committee supports enacted 
funding levels for implementation of the Violence Against Women 
Act [VAWA] (Public Law 103-322) for both training and VAWA-
specific Tribal court needs.
    International Drug Trafficking.--The Committee is deeply 
concerned about the growing presence of international drug 
trafficking organizations in Indian Country, despite the 
efforts of Tribal law enforcement. These organizations are 
contributing to violent crime and drug trafficking and 
exacerbating the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous 
women. The Committee directs the BIA to develop a comprehensive 
plan to address these issues. This plan should be created in 
close cooperation with relevant Tribal, Federal, State, and 
local agencies, and through thorough consultation with Tribal 
governments and surrounding communities. The goal is to create 
a coordinated and effective response to the threats posed by 
these organizations. Furthermore, the Committee directs the BIA 
to provide a briefing to the Committee within 90 days of the 
enactment of this act. This briefing should cover the progress 
made in developing this plan, the policies that have been 
established, and the steps that will be taken to combat the 
influence of these organizations in Indian Country.
    Detention/Corrections.--The bill provides $142,812,000 for 
detention and corrections, a $5,933,000 increase to the enacted 
level. The Committee remains very concerned with the welfare of 
inmates in custody at BIA and Tribal jails across Indian 
Country and the directs the BIA to provide regular updates on 
fulfilling recommendations from the Department's Office of 
Inspector General related to training, coordination, and 
standardized protocols to maintain accountability and oversight 
over BIA and Tribal jails.
    Pre-Conviction Detention.--The Committee is concerned about 
the practice of sending individuals to out-of-state detention 
facilities in other BIA regions for pre-conviction detention, 
particularly prevalent in the Rocky Mountain Region. This 
practice is costly and results in the separation of individuals 
who have not been convicted of a crime from their communities, 
causing undue hardship for both the detainees and their 
families. Thus, the Committee directs the BIA to explore and 
consider alternatives to this practice. The BIA should 
prioritize solutions that keep individuals closer to their 
communities, reduce costs, and maintain the integrity of the 
pre-conviction process. The Committee expects the BIA to engage 
with Tribal governments and local stakeholders to identify 
viable alternatives and to provide a briefing within 90 days of 
enactment of this act on the progress of these efforts.
    Law Enforcement Special Initiatives.--The bill provides 
$26,097,000 for law enforcement special initiatives, which is 
$1,003,000 more than the enacted level, including an additional 
$250,000 with an emphasis on addressing the crisis of missing, 
trafficked, and murdered indigenous persons, especially woman. 
Native American women continue to face high rates of violence, 
and the Committee notes that a lack of data on the number of 
women and girls who go missing or murdered further complicates 
the ability to address this crisis. Increases are provided to 
help better address the crisis by identifying gaps in 
information sharing and data collection, and more dedicated 
resources to resolve cold cases. Funding is maintained to 
perform background check investigations to help with the hiring 
process. Additional funding is included for cold-case offices 
and for detention and corrections staff. Within 90 days of 
enactment of this act, the Bureau shall brief the Committee on 
the status of law enforcement vacancies in each Bureau region, 
as well as the number of law enforcement checks pending as of 
the date of enactment. At the same time as the annual budget 
request, the Bureau shall provide detail on how funding 
provided in fiscal year 2024 and fiscal year 2025 is being used 
to expedite these investigations.
    Further, to assist Tribal and Federal law enforcement 
agencies in finding missing persons, the Secretary shall make 
funding available through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office 
of Justice Services, for software platforms that assist the 
agencies in finding missing persons. Such contributory software 
platforms may combine law enforcement public records data, 
analytics, geospatial mapping, and cellular network forensics.
    Tribal Justice Support.--The bill provides $35,556,000 for 
Tribal Justice Support, an increase of $720,000 to the fiscal 
year 2024 enacted level. The Committee remains concerned about 
Tribal courts' needs as identified in the Indian Law and Order 
Commission's November 2013 report, which notes Federal 
investment in Tribal justice for Public Law 83-280 States has 
been more limited than elsewhere in Indian Country. The 
Committee expects the Bureau to continue to work with Indian 
Tribes and Tribal organizations to consider options that 
promote, design, or pilot Tribal court systems for Tribal 
communities subject to full or partial State jurisdiction under 
Public Law 83-280, and provides an additional $700,000 in 
funding within Tribal Justice Support.
    Victim/Witness Assistance Program.--The Committee is 
concerned with the high declination rates of criminal cases in 
Indian Country by Federal law enforcement and encourages the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs/Witness Assistance Program to help 
advocate for families and survivors by bringing forward 
information and witnesses that could be used by Federal law 
enforcement in active missing person cases, homicides, and 
other investigations.
    In addition to these resources, the bill also includes 
funding to focus on retention and advanced training needs. The 
Committee remains fully supportive of the Indian Police Academy 
in Artesia, New Mexico, and expects the Bureau to maintain the 
Academy's longstanding role as the central justice services 
training location for Tribal law enforcement, including entry-
level law enforcement officers, agents, and corrections 
officers. The bill provides $5,243,000 for the Indian Police 
Academy. The bill includes an additional $500,000 to operate 
advanced training activities in the Great Plains region that 
focuses on training for detectives, forensics, and other 
advanced training, per the accompanying statement in the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260).
    The Committee is aware that Indian reservations have 
violent crime rates that are more than two and a half times 
higher than the National average. The Committee recognizes the 
need to address crime and violence in Indian Country and is 
concerned that there is a nearly 30 percent vacancy rate among 
Bureau law enforcement personnel. The Committee notes that the 
vacancy and turnover rate is especially high in the Great 
Plains Region, which contains 68 percent of all Office of 
Justice Services vacancies and over half of all Bureau of 
Indian Affairs police officer vacancies. The Committee directs 
the Bureau, working with other Federal partners, to report back 
to the Committee within 1 year of enactment of this act on the 
training needs for Bureau law enforcement and Tribal law 
enforcement by location, with a comprehensive plan on how to 
recruit, train, and fill the vacancies, including whether 
hiring and retention is hindered by delayed hiring processes 
and delayed background checks. As part of this report, the 
Committee expects the Bureau to work with the Indian Police 
Academy to clearly identify what funding mechanisms are 
authorized that may be used for the recruitment, training, and 
facility needs, as well as what type of partnerships, including 
Federal, State, and Tribal, could be utilized to address and 
fill these needs.
    Further, because of the ongoing public safety issues facing 
Tribal nations, the Committee supports the Bureau's innovative 
new efforts to help with law enforcement recruitment and 
retention like the pay parity effort which began in fiscal year 
2024, but more action is necessary to support Tribes and Tribal 
safety. Therefore, the Committee directs the Bureau to expedite 
the hiring process, including background checks, and training. 
The Committee also directs the Bureau to work closely with 
Tribal leaders on this issue to ensure the Bureau has the 
resources necessary to meet this higher level of service.
    The Committee understands the funding provided in previous 
fiscal years for opioid addiction was not used solely for this 
purpose, but instead was used to hire additional drug 
enforcement officers to assist with all drug-related issues on 
Tribal lands. The Committee acknowledges that each community 
may have its own unique drug-related issues apart from opioids 
and continues this funding without the designation for opioid 
addiction.
    Community and Economic Development.--The bill provides 
$31,695,000 for community and economic development programs, an 
increase of $1,149,000 to the enacted level accounting for 
internal transfers. The bill provides an increase of $500,000 
to the enacted funding levels to carry out the provisions of 
the NATIVE Act (Public Law 114-221) to support strategic 
planning and capacity-building for Tribes, and for grants, 
studies, and tourism projects for Tribes and eligible Native 
Hawaiian Organizations, with further direction explained below.
    NATIVE Act Implementation.--The Committee notes that the 
NATIVE Act, Public Law 114-221, requires an annual report 
outlining actions taken, policies formulated, and management 
plans and tourism initiatives formulated to include American 
Indians and Alaska Natives [AI/AN], Tribal organizations, and 
Native Hawaiian organizations. Additionally, the NATIVE Act 
requires a co-leadership role to integrate Federal tourism 
assets within the Federal Government to strengthen and develop 
Native American tourism, yet both of these requirements have 
not been met. Therefore the Committee directs the Bureau to 
produce and submit the required report to the Committee within 
120 days of enactment of this act. Further, the NATIVE Act 
requires the Bureau and the Department of Commerce to enter 
into a Memorandum of Understanding [MOU] with a qualified 
Native-led non-profit organization with an established record 
of managing a national program providing outreach, training and 
support specific to Native American communities in the 
development, growth and enhancement of cultural tourism. The 
Committee further directs the Bureau to keep the Committee 
informed on how the Bureau intends to implement the MOU in 
future years once the report is released.
    The Committee supports and recommends funding for the 
Bureau's job training efforts, and support for business 
incubators in Indian Country, in accordance with the budget 
request.
    The Committee understands the importance of preserving 
native languages for all Tribal communities and continues to 
support building capacity for language immersion programs or to 
create new programs for federally recognized Tribes beyond the 
Bureau of Indian Education school system. The Committee 
recommends an increase of $500,000 in funding under this 
subactivity for language immersion grants. The Committee 
continues to expect that eligibility will include any private 
nonprofit or Tribal organization in those States without 
Bureau-funded schools that are interested in further enhancing 
or creating native language immersion programs. The Committee 
supports the administration's efforts.
    Executive Direction and Administrative Services.--The bill 
provides $265,617,000 for Executive Direction and 
Administrative Services, an increase of $4,983,000 to the 
enacted level.
    Native Boarding School Initiative.--In June 2021, the 
Department announced an investigation into the Federal 
Government's past oversight of Native boarding schools. The 
past policies of forcing children into these schools tore 
families apart and led to a loss of culture and identity for 
generations of Native Americans. The Committee applauds the 
efforts of the Department to reexamine this era and looks 
forward to the findings. The bill continues enacted funding for 
these efforts.
    Special Initiatives.--The Committee provides $6,650,000 in 
congressionally directed spending for Special Initiatives. A 
detailed list of projects is included in the ``Congressionally 
Directed Spending'' table accompanying this report.

                       INDIAN LAND CONSOLIDATION

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $4,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      11,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       4,000,000

    The Committee recommends $4,000,000 for Indian Land 
Consolidation, which is equal to the enacted level and 
$7,000,000 below the request. This newer account is to reduce 
land fractionation and increase Tribal majority ownership of 
lands to provide more control over land management, use, and 
protection. The Committee is concerned that the Bureau did not 
include administrative expense estimates in the budget request 
and expects the Bureau to do so in future budget 
justifications. Further, the Committee expects that each fiscal 
year the Bureau will provide metrics, including the number of 
fractionated interests purchased and acreage consolidated.

                         CONTRACT SUPPORT COSTS

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $342,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     356,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     356,000,000

    The bill provides $356,000,000 for Contract Support Costs. 
The Committee continues language establishing an indefinite 
appropriation for contract support costs estimated to be 
$356,000,000 for fiscal year 2025. By retaining an indefinite 
appropriation for this account, additional funds may be 
provided by the Bureau if its budget estimate proves to be 
lower than necessary to meet the legal obligation to pay the 
full amount due to Tribes. The Committee believes fully funding 
these costs will ensure that Tribes have the necessary 
resources they need to deliver program services efficiently and 
effectively.

                       PAYMENTS FOR TRIBAL LEASES

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $64,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      69,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      69,000,000

    The bill provides $69,000,000 for Payments for Tribal 
Leases. The Committee recommends establishing a separate 
appropriation account for payments for Tribal leases estimated 
to be $69,000,000 for fiscal year 2025. Section 105(l) of the 
Indian Self Determination Education Assistance Act provides 
that Tribes and Tribal organizations carrying out Federal 
functions under a self-determination contract or self-
governance compact may enter into a lease agreement with the 
Department of the Interior or Indian Health Service for the 
facilities used to carry out these functions.

                              CONSTRUCTION

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $133,780,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     154,771,000
Committee recommendation................................     146,022,000

    The bill provides $146,022,000 for Construction Programs, 
$12,242,000 more than the enacted level. All programs and 
subactivities included are continued at enacted levels unless 
otherwise specified below or reflected in the table 
accompanying this report. Internal transfers within the 
accounts are reflected below and in the table.
    Public Safety and Justice Construction.--The Committee 
recommends $55,791,000, a $10,000,000 increase. The bill 
provides $37,730,000 for the Facilities Replacement and 
Construction Program; $4,744,000 for Employee Housing; 
$9,872,000 for Facilities Improvement and Repair; $171,000 for 
Fire Safety Coordination; and $3,274,000 for Fire Protection.
    The Committee is concerned with the continuous dilapidated 
conditions of public safety and justice facilities and 
understands the demand for public safety and construction 
funding remains high and the backlog to replace public safety 
facilities has grown exponentially. The Committee is aware 
there are many condemned facilities across the country 
including the Hopi, White Mountain Apache, and San Carlos 
Apache detention and justice facilities and directs the Bureau 
to keep the Committee apprised on the progress to replace these 
facilities.
    The Committee expects the Bureau to distribute funds 
provided in this act to expeditiously complete construction of 
adult detention center projects that were previously awarded. 
Remaining amounts should be considered available for all public 
safety and justice facilities, consistent with previous 
direction. Direction is provided for the Bureau to: (1) produce 
a plan on how to spend unobligated public safety and justice 
balances on facilities in poor condition; and (2) provide the 
plan to the Committee within 120 days of enactment of this act.
    Additionally, the Bureau is directed to provide information 
to the Committee on any gaps in facilities resources associated 
with the growing demand for advanced law enforcement training.
    Tribal communities, including Alaska Native communities, 
don't have sufficient public safety facilities to hold 
individuals until they can be transported to appropriate 
corrections facilities. The Bureau is reminded of the directive 
in fiscal year 2024 to provide a report indicating whether 
existing programs available can address this need, or whether 
additional authorities and programs are necessary to provide 
funding to address this need.
    Resources Management Construction.--The Committee 
recommends $66,813,000, an increase of $1,119,000 to the 
enacted level. This funding includes: $29,727,000 for 
irrigation projects, of which not less than $3,427,000 is for 
the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project and $11,000,000 is for 
projects authorized by the Water Infrastructure Improvements 
for the Nation [WIIN] Act (Public Law 114-322); $32,604,000 for 
dam projects; $1,016,000 for survey and design; $2,788,000 for 
engineering and supervision; and $678,000 for Federal power 
compliance. The Committee expects the funds designated for WIIN 
Act (Public Law 114-322) activities will be deposited into the 
Indian Irrigation Fund to fund those projects authorized by 
Public Law 114-322.
    The Committee continues the previous fiscal year funding 
increases for dam safety. However, the Committee is concerned 
that an unknown number of dams on reservations have not 
received a hazard classification, and the current review 
process is behind schedule, resulting in delays for 
comprehensive reviews. The Committee strongly encourages the 
Bureau to begin dam safety work expeditiously and report back 
to the Committee on the best way to effectively quantify the 
potential pool of dams on reservations in need of a review and/
or classification.
    Other Program Construction.--The Committee recommends 
$23,418,000, an increase of $1,123,000 to the enacted level. 
This includes $2,419,000 for telecommunications repair and 
$10,620,000 for construction program management, which includes 
funding for the Fort Peck water system as well as funding for 
facilities improvement and repair.
    Ft. Peck Water System.--The Committee directs the Bureau to 
prioritize and allocate the necessary funding to support the 
continued operations and maintenance of the Ft. Peck Water 
System in Montana. The Bureau is to ensure that this funding is 
sufficient to maintain the system's functionality and 
reliability, thereby ensuring the continued delivery of safe 
and clean drinking water to the communities it serves. The bill 
provides an additional $1,062,000 for these efforts, and 
instructs the Bureau to keep the Committee informed of any 
challenges to maintain operations and maintenance and steps 
taken to address them.
    San Carlos Irrigation Project.--The Committee is aware of 
challenges with the ability of the San Carlos Irrigation 
Project's power system to purchase power when there are 
fluctuations in market conditions. The Bureau should keep the 
Committee updated regarding challenges of the project to 
purchase power.

Appropriations, 2024....................................        $976,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      45,897,000
Committee recommendation................................      45,897,000

    The bill provides $45,897,000 for the Indian Land and Water 
Claim Settlements account, an increase of $44,921,000 to than 
the enacted level and equal to the budget request.

                 INDIAN GUARANTEED LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $13,329,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      14,489,000
Committee recommendation................................      13,616,000

    The bill includes $13,616,000 for the Indian Guaranteed 
Loan account, an increase of $287,000 to the enacted level. The 
Committee directs the Office of Indian Economic Development to 
report on its efforts to restart the use of the Interest 
Subsidy at this critical time. The Committee understands that 
Interest Subsidy is not as critical when interest rates are 
low, but conversely it is very critical when interest rates are 
high. The report should document how planned uses of the 
interest subsidy impacts the program if defaults increase and 
how Interest Subsidy can mitigate those defaults.

                       Bureau of Indian Education


                 Operation of Indian Education Programs


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $1,131,617,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   1,210,690,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,156,853,000

    The bill provides $1,156,853,000 for the Operation of 
Indian Education Programs, an increase $25,236,000 to the 
enacted level. The detailed allocation of funding by program 
and activity is included in the table accompanying this report. 
Internal transfers within the accounts are reflected below and 
in the table.
    The Committee fully supports broadening access to Native 
language and culture programs, which have been linked to higher 
academic achievement for Native youth. The Committee expects 
the Individual Student Equalization Program [ISEP] to continue 
to enhance access to Native language and culture programs in 
Bureau-funded schools and directs the Bureau to report within 
60 days of enactment of this act on how previous funding 
provided has been and can continue to be used to support these 
programs.
    Within the funds provided for education program 
enhancements, continued funding is provided for native language 
immersion grants with the understanding that the recipients of 
these grants are Bureau-funded schools. The Bureau is expected 
to report within 60 days of enactment of this act regarding the 
status of fiscal year 2025 funds and the planned distribution 
of funds in this act.
    The Committee remains concerned about the distribution 
methodology of the Johnson O'Malley [JOM] assistance grants and 
is aware that Congress enacted the Johnson O'Malley 
Modernization Act (Public Law 115-404) in 2018. In addition to 
requesting a report detailing the Bureau's compliance with the 
act, the Committee once again requests that the Department 
include estimates of necessary appropriations levels to provide 
per pupil funding levels equal to the fiscal year 2018 level 
per pupil levels for all newly reported eligible students.
    The administration's emphasis on education must be 
complemented by efforts to improve interagency coordination for 
the multiplicity of programs that affect the wellbeing of 
Native children. In addition to education, these include 
healthcare, mental and behavioral healthcare, social service, 
child welfare, and juvenile justice programs. The Committee 
encourages the Bureau to work with other relevant Federal, 
State, local, and Tribal organizations to begin the process of 
identifying ways to make programs more effective in serving 
Native children.
    Haskell Indian Nations Campus.--The Bureau is directed to 
provide a briefing to the Committee on how funds made available 
to the college have been used to improve infrastructure and 
safety on campus.
    The Committee notes that the Bureau is required to 
compensate teachers and counselors at a pay rate that is 
consistent with the Defense Department Overseas Teachers Pay 
and Personnel Practices Act, as provided by 25 U.S.C. 201. The 
Committee directs the Bureau to clearly display funding amounts 
required to comply with Department of Defense Education 
Activity (Public Law 86-91, as amended) pay rates as part of 
future budget justifications and encourages the Bureau to 
include sufficient funding in its budget request to fully fund 
these requirements.
    Further, the Committee directs the Bureau to provide an 
analysis of ISEP funds beginning in fiscal year 2025 in the 
annual budget request that details: The Bureau's pay rate for 
teacher and counselor salaries; the Department of Defense [DOD] 
pay rate for teacher and counselor salaries; the amount of 
funding provided for teacher and counselor pay parity in annual 
budget requests and actually provided with available funds; the 
amount of annual funding spent on Bureau-funded schools non-
salary expenses (including student services, safety, 
programming, and other standard operations); the impact that 
any shortfall of ISEP funds for required pay increases had on 
school services and programming (if any); and a complete 
accounting of any amounts Bureau-funded schools may not have 
received because fixed costs increases that align with DOD 
teacher and counselor pay parity requirements were not included 
in annual budget requests.
    FERS Eligibility for Employees at BIE Tribally Controlled 
Schools.--The Committee is concerned about the inequity created 
by the loss of Federal Employees Retirement System [FERS] 
benefits for teachers and staff when Tribes exercise their 
self-determination right to operate BIE-funded schools under 
Public Law 100-297 grants or Public Law 93-638 contracts. The 
loss of these benefits is a major impediment to the recruitment 
and retention of teachers and staff, as these Tribally 
Controlled Schools often bear the hardship of recruiting, 
hiring, and training teachers and staff only to lose them 
shortly thereafter to other schools offering better pay and 
benefits. Any policy denying Federal benefits to employees 
carrying out a Federal trust responsibility is incompatible 
with the Federal policy of self-determination. Congress 
recognized this incompatibility and barrier to recruitment and 
retention in 2020 when it extended the Federal Employee Health 
Benefits [FEHB] program to teachers and staff of Tribally 
Controlled Schools. Thus, the Committee directs the Bureau to 
analyze the extent of the problem and the systems, processes, 
and authorizations necessary to extend FERS benefits to 
teachers and staff employed by these schools; develop an 
associated plan, timeline, and budget; and report back to the 
Committee with a proposal no later than 180 days after the date 
of enactment of this act.
    The Committee directs the Bureau to work with the Indian 
Health Service as appropriate to continue integrating school-
based preventative health services, such as dental, mental, and 
behavioral care, into elementary schools in order to improve 
health outcomes of Tribal students.

                         EDUCATION CONSTRUCTION

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $234,725,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     310,236,000
Committee recommendation................................     264,775,000

    The bill provides $264,775,000 for Education Construction, 
an increase of $30,050,000 to the enacted level. Funding 
amounts support a level of $123,342,000 for replacement 
schools; $15,935,000 for replacement facilities; $13,595,000 
for employee housing repair; and $96,403,000 for facility 
improvement and repair.
    The Committee recognizes that many Tribal colleges have 
significant unfunded needs and directs the Bureau to work with 
Tribal leaders and other stakeholders to develop a consistent 
methodology for determining Tribal colleges operating and 
maintenance needs to inform future budget requests. The 
Committee included directives under the Bureau of Indian 
Education-Operation of Indian Education Programs in previous 
years directing the Bureau to develop a methodology regarding 
the operating and infrastructure needs for Tribal colleges, but 
the Bureau has not yet complied and submitted a methodology. 
With the addition of mandatory money for deferred maintenance 
for these activities, the Committee again directs the Bureau to 
conduct an assessment of Tribal colleges facility needs and 
develop a distribution methodology to address these needs. The 
Committee also directs the Bureau to report back within 60 days 
of enactment of this act on how it conducts student counts at 
Tribal colleges and how funding is provided to address 
facilities operation, maintenance, and construction needs.
    The Committee expects that the discretionary funding for 
the facility improvement and repair program will continue to be 
used to address deficiencies identified by annual school safety 
inspections. The Committee remains concerned about the deferred 
maintenance projects at schools and directs the Bureau to 
submit the allocation plan as required by Public Law 115-31. 
The Committee is encouraged to learn that BIA and BIE continue 
to work together to ensure annual safety inspections are 
completed for all BIE school facilities. However, the Committee 
is concerned that, as noted by GAO in report GAO-16-313, BIA 
and BIE have not developed concrete tracking and capacity-
building systems to ensure safety issues flagged by these 
inspections are addressed in a timely manner. Furthermore, the 
Committee is concerned by reports from Tribally-operated BIE 
schools that BIE does not provide timely access to or training 
about the Facilities Improvement and Repair Program and other 
available emergency maintenance funding. The Committee reminds 
the Bureau that it has yet to comply with the reporting 
requirements for school safety inspections included in Senate 
Report 116-123, and that this report should be delivered within 
30 days of enactment of this act.
    The Committee understands that many schools are in need of 
repair, improvement, and upgrades to be in good condition, and 
mandatory funds provided by the Great American Outdoors Act 
will address some of these challenges. The Committee stands 
ready to work with the administration and Tribes to develop a 
comprehensive strategy that provides safe, functional, and 
accessible facilities for schools. The Committee reminds the 
Bureau of the previous requirement to report back on the 
progress the Bureau has made towards implementing a long-term 
facilities plan similar to the Department of Defense process in 
2009, as encouraged in the joint explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 114-113.

                  Bureau of Trust Fund Administration

    Congress has designated the Secretary of the Interior as 
the trustee delegate with responsibility for approximately 55 
million surface acres of land, 57 million acres of subsurface 
mineral interests, and management of approximately $8.2 billion 
held in trust by the Federal Government on behalf of American 
Indians, Alaska Natives, and federally recognized Indian 
Tribes. The Bureau of Trust Fund Administration [BTFA] is 
assigned trust management of these assets includes conserving, 
maintaining, accounting, investing, disbursing, and reporting 
to individual Indians and federally recognized Tribes and 
Tribal organizations on asset transactions generated from 
sales, leasing and other commercial activities on these lands.

                         FEDERAL TRUST PROGRAMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $100,009,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     111,277,000
Committee recommendation................................     100,472,000

    The bill provides $100,472,000 for the Federal Trust 
Programs account. The total includes a $500,000 program 
increase over enacted. The recommendation includes $1,422,000 
for executive direction.
    Individual Indian Money Accounts.--The Committee has 
concerns with the timely distribution and management of 
proceeds held in Individual Indian Money accounts at the Bureau 
of Trust Funds Administration. Delays in disbursement and 
accounting impact the financial health of Tribal members who 
reside in communities with a lack of economic opportunity, and 
fail to uphold the Department's trust asset management 
responsibilities on behalf of tribes. The Committee encourages 
the Department to respond to IIM withdraw requests in as 
expedited a time as possible. Further, not later than 90 days 
after the enactment of this act, the Department shall provide a 
report to this Committee detailing the number of outstanding 
distribution requests, the status of those requests, and plans 
to improve the timeliness of processing distribution requests.

                          Departmental Offices


                        Office of the Secretary


                        DEPARTMENTAL OPERATIONS

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $147,418,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     157,890,000
Committee recommendation................................     154,945,000

    The bill includes a total appropriation of $154,945,000 for 
the Office of the Secretary account. This amount is $7,527,000 
more than the enacted level and $2,945,000 less than the budget 
request. The bill continues the direction from previous fiscal 
years to maintain the Office of Native Hawaiian Relations 
within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, 
Management, and Budget.
    Leadership and Administration.--The bill includes an 
appropriation of $117,869,000 for the leadership and 
administration activity. Increases are allocated for the 
Department's contribution to the Federal executive board, the 
annual service contract, and information technology 
requirements. The Committee recommends not less than $500,000 
to carry out land assessments, appraisals, surveys and other 
activities in support of the Secretary's responsibilities under 
the Hawaiian Home Lands Recovery Act. Funding is continued to 
support the Office of Subsistence Management.
    Safeguard Tribal Objects of Patrimony [STOP] Act.--The STOP 
Act fills a key void in preventing the export and trafficking 
of Tribal cultural heritage items in the international market 
and facilitating their repatriation to their respective Tribal 
communities. The Committee includes an increase of $500,000 for 
the Department to begin implementation of this important 
mission. Further, timely implementation of the export 
certification system established by the Safeguard Tribal 
Objects of Patrimony Act (Public Law 117-258) is necessary to 
prevent the illegal export of protected Tribal sacred objects 
to foreign markets. The Department is directed to complete its 
STOP Act regulations expeditiously and brief the Committee 
within 60 days of enactment of this act on its plan to 
implement the export certification system required by the STOP 
Act.
    Subsistence Activities.--The Committee believes marine 
mammal subsistence harvest management and enforcement decisions 
should be, to the extent practicable, led by Alaska Native 
Organizations at the local level, with Federal agencies working 
in partnership with Alaska Native Organizations. The Committee 
expects the Service to finalize a co-management agreement with 
the Alaska Nannut Co-Management Council [ANCC], and in the 
interim, to work closely with ANCC on enforcement actions that 
may arise in relation to subsistence uses of polar bears. The 
Service is directed to provide funding to Alaska Native 
Organizations with which it co-manages marine mammals at no 
less than fiscal year 2021 levels. The Service is reminded of 
the report due to the Committee on the Service's efforts to 
work collaboratively with other Federal agencies on activities 
related to marine mammal subsistence harvests. Within 1 year of 
enactment, the Committee directs the Service to work with the 
State of Alaska to develop a joint strategy with management 
recommendations on subsistence hunting and fishing that will 
help increase food security in rural areas in the State. This 
joint strategy should include public input from Alaska's rural 
residents, document and apply local and traditional knowledge, 
and identify any needed regulatory flexibilities to respond to 
the timing and changing distributions of fish and wildlife 
populations.
    Management Services.--The bill provides an appropriation of 
$37,076,000 for the management services activity, $627,000 more 
than the enacted level and $10,244,000 more than the request.
    Indian and Arts and Crafts Board [IACB].--The 
recommendation includes not less than $1,806,000 for the IACB 
to support activities related to enforcement of the Indian Arts 
and Crafts Act. The Committee supports the work of the IACB to 
promote the economic development of Native Americans through 
the expansion of the Indian arts and crafts market and 
combatting illegal sales and trafficking of indigenous artwork 
through IACB's administration and enforcement of the Indian 
Arts and Crafts Act.
    Indian Youth Service Corps.--The Committee is encouraged by 
the progress the Department has made in standing up the Indian 
Youth Service Corps. Across the Department, the Committee 
continues to provide ongoing funding to support youth through 
the Indian Youth Service Corps and directs the Department to 
work in partnership with land management agencies to identify 
additional capacity for the program.
    Plum Island.--The Committee expresses support for the 
permanent conservation of Plum Island for the protection in 
perpetuity of its natural and cultural resources. The Committee 
directs the Department to provide a briefing to the Committee 
within 180 days of enactment of this act regarding processes 
and potential resources needed to complete a transfer for 
permanent conservation of Plum Island, including management of 
and partnerships with State, Federal, and Tribal entities, and 
potential costs for managing the island.
    Compliance with Required Submissions.--The Committee is 
concerned that the Department has not complied with the 
requirements of Section 40206(d) and Section 40206(e) of the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, including the 
submission of the critical mineral permitting and review 
performance improvement report and publishing of the 
performance metric required under those sections. Therefore, 
the Committee directs the Department to brief the appropriate 
authorizing and appropriations committees every 30 days on the 
Department's efforts to assist with preparation of the required 
submissions until such time that the requirements are 
satisfied.

                            Insular Affairs

    The Office of Insular Affairs [OIA] was established on 
August 4, 1995, through Secretarial Order No. 3191, which also 
abolished the former Office of Territorial and International 
Affairs. OIA has administrative responsibility for coordinating 
Federal policy in the territories of American Samoa, Guam, the 
U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern 
Mariana Islands [CNMI], as well as oversight of Federal 
programs and funds in the freely associated States of the 
Federated States of Micronesia [FSM], the Republic of the 
Marshall Islands [RMI], and the Republic of Palau.
    Following the expiration of the first Compact of Free 
Association in 2003, a new Compact of Free Association was 
negotiated between the United States and the States of FSM and 
RMI. Under the Compact, the status of free association 
recognizes each Freely Associated State as a sovereign State 
with the capacity to conduct foreign affairs consistent with 
the terms of the Compact. The Compact places full 
responsibility for defense with the United States. The Compact 
also provides grant funds and Federal program assistance, 
principally through the Department of the Interior.

                       ASSISTANCE TO TERRITORIES

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $64,267,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      61,469,000
Committee recommendation................................      58,775,000

    The bill provides $58,775,000 for assistance to 
territories, a decrease of $5,492,000 to the enacted level and 
a decrease of $2,694,000 to the request. Funding levels for 
each subactivity can be found in the table accompanying this 
report.
    The bill recognizes that the Office of Insular Affairs' 
most impactful spending is through projects to improve 
education, drinking water, sanitation, health, safety, 
transportation, reliability of power, availability of 
technology, including through fiber optics, and economic 
opportunity and sustainability. The Committee directs these 
funds to be awarded accordingly. Additionally, OIA is directed 
to continue to award non-competitive technical assistance funds 
to support investments in civic education programs for Insular 
Area students.
    Kwajalein Masterplan Implementation.--The Office is 
directed to report to the Committee within 180 days of 
enactment of this act on implementation of activities the 
Department is undertaking pursuant to the Kwajalein Atoll 
Masterplan to address the special needs of communities within 
Kwajalein Atoll.
    Funding for Energizing Insular Communities is provided 
equal to the request.

the Office of the Solicitor, $3,609,000 more than the enacted 
level and $5,967,000 less than the budget request.
    Freedom of Information Act [FOIA].--The Committee 
appreciates the efforts made by the Office of the Solicitor to 
increase the processing capacity of the Department's FOIA 
program and reduce the Department's FOIA request backlog. The 
Committee directs the Department to include in future budget 
justifications an exhibit on staffing levels and metrics 
showing the status of the FOIA request backlog.

                      Office of Inspector General


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                        Department-Wide Programs


                        WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

    The Department's Wildland Fire Management account funds the 
Office of Wildland Fire and fire prevention, readiness, 
suppression, and rehabilitation activities performed by the 
Bureau of Indian Affairs, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service.
Appropriations, 2024....................................  $1,113,471,000
Budget estimate, 2025\1\................................   1,279,510,000
Committee recommendation\2\.............................   1,210,789,000

\1\Includes $831,816,000 provided with an emergency designation.
\2\Includes $1,210,789,000 provided with an emergency designation.

    The bill provides $1,210,789,000 for wildland fire 
management, $97,318,000 above the enacted level and $68,721,000 
below the request. Program directives and specific funding 
requirements are noted in the following narrative.
    Fire Operations.--The bill provides $938,023,000 for 
Wildfire Preparedness and Suppression. This amount includes 
$554,366,000 for preparedness and $383,657,000 for fire 
suppression operations. These amounts are provided with an 
emergency designation. Within preparedness funding, $2,000,000 
is to initiate a health and wellness program for firefighters. 
As noted in the Front Matter, the bill includes funding for a 
permanent pay fix and job series for Federal wildland 
firefighters and incorporates legislative text to effectuate 
the necessary changes in statute.
    As noted in the front matter of this report, the Committee 
expects that with these resources, the Department will continue 
to transform its wildland fire workforce to allow for increased 
firefighter pay, create year-round firefighting and fuels 
management capacity, and implement technology modernizations 
outlined in Section 1114 of the John D. Dingell, Jr. 
Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (Public Law 116-
9). These upgrades will improve firefighter and public safety 
and enhance effective and cost-efficient wildfire response, 
through expanded use of uncrewed aircraft systems and better 
incident support, such as remote location tracking, smoke 
projections, safe operations in degraded visual environments, 
and wildfire decision support.
    The Department is encouraged to increase adoption of 
decision support tools such as Potential Operational 
Delineations [PODs], Quantitative Wildfire Risk Assessments 
[QWRA], and scenario investment tools for increased work on 
joint cross boundary planning with State, local, and Tribal 
governments.
    Other Operations.--The bill provides $272,766,000 for other 
wildland fire management operations. This includes $244,766,000 
for fuels management, $14,000,000 for burned area 
rehabilitation, $10,000,000 for fire facilities, and $4,000,000 
for joint fire science. Within fire facilities, no less than 
$4,000,000 is provided for the Department's firefighter housing 
improvement initiative.
    The Department is directed to prioritize collaboratively-
developed wildfire risk reduction efforts in high-risk 
firesheds with fragmented ownership of Federal, State, and 
private forest lands, susceptibility to wildfire and 
concentration of homes. The Department is further directed to 
brief the Committee within 60 days of enactment of this act on 
the proposed distribution of hazardous fuels funding to its 
component bureaus, the allocation methodology, and how it takes 
into account areas with special designations, such as the 
Oregon and California Grant Lands.
    Direction related to the Joint Fire Science Program is 
included under the Forest and Rangeland Research heading of 
this report.

                                TITLE II

                    ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

                          Program Description

    The Environmental Protection Agency [EPA or Agency] was 
created through Executive Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1970, 
designed to consolidate certain Federal Government 
environmental activities into a single agency. The plan was 
submitted by the President to the Congress on July 8, 1970, and 
the EPA was established as an independent agency in the 
executive branch on December 2, 1970, by consolidating 15 
components from five departments and independent agencies.
    A description of EPA's pollution control programs by media 
follows:

    Air.--The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Public Law 101-
549) authorize a national program of air pollution research, 
regulation, prevention, and enforcement activities.
    Water Quality.--The Federal Water Pollution Control Act 
(Public Law 92-500), as amended, provides the framework for 
protection of the Nation's surface waters. The law recognizes 
that it is the primary responsibility of the States to prevent, 
reduce, and eliminate water pollution. The States determine the 
desired uses for their waters, set standards, identify current 
uses and, where uses are being impaired or threatened, develop 
plans for the protection or restoration of the designated use. 
They implement the plans through control programs such as 
permitting and enforcement, construction of municipal waste 
water treatment works, and nonpoint source control practices. 
The act also regulates discharge of dredge or fill material 
into waters of the United States, including wetlands.
    Drinking Water.--The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 
(Public Law 93-523), as amended in 1996, charges EPA with the 
responsibility of implementing a program to assure that the 
Nation's public drinking water supplies are free of 
contamination that may pose a human health risk and to protect 
and prevent the endangerment of ground water resources which 
serve as drinking water supplies.
    Hazardous Waste.--The Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act of 1976 [RCRA] (Public Law 94-580) mandated EPA to develop 
a regulatory program to protect human health and the 
environment from improper hazardous waste disposal practices. 
The RCRA Program manages hazardous wastes from generation 
through disposal.
    EPA's responsibilities and authorities to manage hazardous 
waste were greatly expanded under the Hazardous and Solid Waste 
Amendments of 1984 (Public Law 98-616). Not only did the 
regulated universe of wastes and facilities dealing with 
hazardous waste increase significantly, but past mismanagement 
practices, in particular prior releases at inactive hazardous 
and solid waste management units, were to be identified and 
corrective action taken. The 1984 amendments also authorized a 
regulatory and implementation program directed to owners and 
operators of underground storage tanks.
    The Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act 
of 2012 (Public Law 112-195) amended subtitle C of the Solid 
Waste Disposal Act (Public Law 89-272) to establish an 
electronic means of tracking wastes subject to RCRA regulation.
    Pesticides.--The objective of the pesticide program is to 
protect the public health and the environment from unreasonable 
risks while permitting the use of necessary pest control 
approaches. This objective is pursued by EPA under the Food 
Quality Protection Act (Public Law 104-170); the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (Public Law 61-
152); the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Public Law 75-
717); and the Pesticide Registration Improvement Extension Act 
of 2012 (Public Law 112-117) through three principal means: (1) 
review of existing and new pesticide products; (2) enforcement 
of pesticide use rules; and (3) research and development to 
reinforce the ability to evaluate the risks and benefits of 
pesticides.
    Radiation.--The radiation program's major emphasis is to 
minimize the exposure of persons to ionizing radiation, whether 
from naturally occurring sources, medical or industrial 
applications, nuclear power sources, or weapons development.
    Toxic Substances.--The Toxic Substances Control Act (Public 
Law 94-469) established a program to stimulate the development 
of adequate data on the effects of chemical substances on 
health and the environment and instituted control action for 
those chemicals which present an unreasonable risk of injury to 
health or the environment. The original statute was amended by 
the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century 
Act of 2016 (Public Law 114-182). The act's coverage affects 
thousands of chemicals currently in commerce and all new 
chemicals.
    Multimedia.--Multimedia activities are designed to support 
programs where the problems, tools, and results are cross media 
and must be integrated to affect results. This integrated 
program encompasses EPA's research, enforcement, and abatement 
activities.
    Superfund.--The Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-510) 
established a national program to protect public health and the 
environment from the threats posed by inactive hazardous waste 
sites and uncontrolled spills of hazardous substances. The 
original statute was amended by the Superfund Amendments and 
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-499). Under these 
authorities, EPA manages a hazardous waste site clean-up 
program that includes emergency response and long-term 
remediation.
    Brownfields.--The Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-510), as 
amended by the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields 
Revitalization Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-118), established a 
national program to assess, clean up, and provide support to 
States, Tribes, local communities, and other stakeholders to 
work together to develop Brownfields.
    Leaking Underground Storage Tanks.--The Leaking Underground 
Storage Tank [LUST] Program addresses petroleum releases from 
federally regulated underground storage tanks. It was created 
in 1986 when Congress amended subtitle I of the Solid Waste 
Disposal Act (Public Law 89-272). EPA implements the LUST 
response program primarily through cooperative agreements with 
the States. In 2005, the Energy Policy Act (Public Law 109-58) 
expanded eligible uses of the Trust Fund to include certain 
leak prevention activities.
    Inland Oil Spill.--The Federal Water Pollution Control Act 
(Public Law 80-845), as amended by section 4202 of the Oil 
Pollution Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-380), established a 
national program to help prepare for, and respond to, any oil 
spill affecting the inland waters of the United States.

                         Programmatic Guidance

    The bill provides $9,286,304,000 for the Agency, 
$127,410,000 above the enacted level and $1,707,349,000 below 
the budget request.
    Workforce.--EPA staff include scientists, engineers, 
analysts, community coordinators, and program managers who help 
protect public health and the environment in communities across 
the country. EPA permanent staff numbers remain well below 
historic levels despite the growing workload to support clean 
air, clean water, and a stable climate. The Committee expects 
the Agency to submit as part of its operating plan, staffing 
targets by National Program Management area, in line with the 
Agency's enacted appropriation. The Committee expects the 
Agency to continue to develop workforce and staffing plans. 
Further, not later than 45 days after the end of each quarter, 
the Agency shall submit data on the number of full time 
equivalent employees employed by the Agency in the same format 
as the fiscal year 2020 employment target data was submitted.
    PFAS and Contaminants of Emerging Concern.--The Committee 
supports the Agency's continued action on PFAS, including 
issuing its first-ever drinking water standard, designating two 
substances as hazardous under the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act [CERCLA], and 
updating interim guidance on the destruction and disposal of 
PFAS-containing materials. Within 60 days of enactment of this 
act, the Agency is directed to brief the Committee on updated 
fiscal year 2026 PFAS-related actions and provide the Committee 
with a spend plan that details funding at the program project 
level.
    Congressional Budget Justification.--The Agency is directed 
to continue to include the information requested in House 
Report 112-331 and any proposals to change State allocation 
formulas that affect the distribution of appropriated funds in 
future budget justifications.
    Annual Operating Plan.--Within 30 days of enactment of this 
act, the Agency is directed to submit to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations its annual operating plan for 
fiscal year 2025, which shall detail how the Agency plans to 
allocate funds at the program project level.
    Reprogramming.--The Committee notes that the Agency must 
follow the reprogramming directives codified in a general 
provision and restated in the front matter of this report, 
including for proposed reorganizations, workforce restructure, 
reshaping, transfer of functions, or downsizing, especially 
those of significant national or regional importance, as well 
as closures, consolidations, and relocations of offices, 
facilities, and laboratories. Further, the Agency may not use 
any amount of deobligated funds to initiate a new program, 
office, or initiative without the prior approval of the 
Committee.
    Combination of Separate Fiscal Year Grant Funding.--The 
Committee acknowledges instances in which the Agency combined 
separate fiscal year grant appropriations and put out a multi-
year Request for Application and directs the Agency to brief 
the Committee before publishing a multi-year Request for 
Application of grant funding.
    Changes to Grant Formulas or Allocations.--The Agency is 
directed to brief the Committee before making changes to grant 
funding allocations or formula changes.

Budget estimate, 2025...................................   1,009,960,000
Committee recommendation................................     783,704,000

    The bill provides $783,704,000 for Science and Technology, 
$25,601,000 above the enacted level and $226,256,000 below the 
budget request. The bill provides an additional $32,120,000 for 
this account from Hazardous Substance Superfund to fund ongoing 
research activities authorized by the Comprehensive 
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 
(Public Law 96-510), as amended. The detailed allocation of 
funding by program and activity is included in the table 
accompanying this report. Program directives and specific 
funding requirements are noted in the following narrative.
    Clean Air.--The Committee recommends $146,278,000. The 
Committee supports the Agency's efforts to modernize its 
monitoring, analytic, and testing capabilities.
    The Committee notes the Agency's Science Advisory Board 
panel's review of the Clean Air Allowance Trading Program, 
urges the networks to keep active at their fiscal 2021 levels, 
and provides up to $3,000,000 above enacted levels to modernize 
the Clean Air Status and Trends Network [CASTNet]. The 
Committee directs the Agency to provide a report within 180 
days of enactment of this act on current and future plans for 
the Clean Air Status and Trends Network and the National Trends 
Network as well as funding requirements.
    Within funds provided, the Committee encourages increased 
emphasis for the Federal Vehicle and Fuels Standards and 
Certification line and encourages resources be allocated to 
vehicle research and development and enforcement, including 
testing capabilities of the National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions 
Laboratory.
    Electric Pathway.--The Committee notes the Agency still has 
not implemented the electricity program under the Renewable 
Fuel Standard [RFS], despite past direction from this 
Committee. The Committee directs the Agency to finalize the 
eRINS program within 90 days of enactment of this act and to 
process all electric pathway feedstock petitions prior to 
issuing the final 2026 Renewable Volume Obligation rule. The 
Committee expects that the eRIN program will be implemented 
with all eligible feedstocks, particularly those that support 
agriculture activity, minimize wildfire risk, and reduce 
methane emissions.
    Homeland Security.--The Committee recommends $34,665,000. 
The Committee urges the Agency to prioritize activities related 
to the cybersecurity of the Nation's water systems. The 
Committee is concerned by public reports of cyberattacks on 
water systems across the world and provides additional funding 
for the Agency to prevent cyber threats in coordination with 
other Federal agencies and partners.
    Research: Air, Climate, and Energy.--The bill provides 
$97,315,000. The Committee supports EPA's efforts to advance 
climate research. The Committee encourages the Agency to 
prioritize research into improving air pollution monitoring 
capabilities and methodologies. Within available funds, the 
Committee continues funding for the study under the heading 
``Partnership Research'' contained in the explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 115-141.
    Research: Chemical Safety and Sustainability.--The bill 
provides $128,374,000.
    Research: Safe and Sustainable Water Resources.--The bill 
provides $112,867,000 for the Safe and Sustainable Water 
Resources Program. Of the funds provided, up to $5,000,000 
shall be allocated for grants under Section 2007 of Public Law 
115-270.
    Research: National Priorities.--The bill provides 
$9,500,000 for extramural research grants, independent of the 
Science to Achieve Results [STAR] grant program, to fund high-
priority water quality and availability research by not-for-
profit organizations that often partner with the Agency. 
Because these grants are independent of the STAR grant program, 
the Agency should strive to award grants in as large an amount 
as is possible to achieve the most scientifically significant 
research. Funds shall be awarded competitively with priority 
given to partners proposing research of national scope and who 
provide a 25-percent match. The Agency is directed to allocate 
funds to grantees within 180 days of enactment of this act. The 
Committee supports the Agency's efforts to prioritize new 
Federal research that will help farmers, ranchers, and rural 
communities manage PFAS impacts in agricultural settings and 
communities and provides $8,000,000 to continue that work. The 
Agency is directed to work with the Department of Agriculture 
to invest in agronomic research to better understand PFAS 
uptake into plants and animals to help reduce PFAS exposure in 
our food supply and promote farm viability.
    The bill provides $7,704,000 for Congressionally Directed 
Spending grants. Further detail on these projects is located in 
the table titled ``Congressionally Directed Spending'' 
accompanying this report.
    Additional Guidance.--The Committee has provided the 
following additional guidance with respect to funding provided 
under this account.
    Integrated Risk Information System [IRIS].--The Committee 
continues its direction to the Agency to follow the guidance in 
the joint explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 117-
103.
    Science to Achieve Results [STAR] Grants.--The Committee 
recommends funds to continue the STAR program and directs the 
Agency to distribute grants consistent with fiscal year 2024. 
The Committee urges that funding for Children's Environmental 
Health and Disease Prevention be continued. The Committee 
supports the efforts of the Agency to focus this funding on 
research related to early life stage, including prenatal, 
vulnerabilities to environmental stressors. The Committee 
remains interested in the feasibility of reestablishing the 
Graduate Fellowship program and of implementing a mechanism to 
allow for submission of unsolicited, principal investigator-
initiated proposals to STAR in order to capture innovative 
research ideas that may exist outside of the Agency and that 
advance its mission. The Agency is directed to brief the 
Committee on the program within 60 days of enactment of this 
act. The Committee looks forward to receiving the briefing 
directed in the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 
116-260.
    Wildfire Smoke Research.--The Committee notes with concern 
the adverse health effects that smoke from wildland fire has on 
impacted communities. The Committee is aware of and supports 
efforts by EPA to develop best-practices, community-based 
interventions, and communication strategies for affected 
communities including for underserved or under-monitored 
communities. The Committee encourages the Agency to expand its 
efforts to identify methods to reduce smoke exposure during 
wildfire episodes and improve wildfire smoke monitoring and 
prediction.
    Plastics.--The Committee continues the directive contained 
in Senate Report 118-83.
    Landfill Emissions Research.--The Committee encourages the 
Agency to prioritize efforts to refine greenhouse gas and air 
pollutant measurement. In particular, municipal solid waste 
landfills continue to be a significant source of greenhouse gas 
and hazardous air pollutant emissions. The Committee directs 
that at least enacted levels be used by the Office of Research 
and Development to support research to frequently monitor and 
quantify emissions of methane and hazardous air pollutants from 
landfills using the most effective technologies, including 
infrared spectroscopy from satellites, as appropriate and, 
during the times the emissions are measured, measurement of any 
quantity of methane captured by the landfill gas collection 
system. The Committee notes the Agency's recent Unified Agenda 
seeking to reexamine its air quality standards for municipal 
solid waste landfills. Finally, the Committee recommends 
$1,750,000 be used to establish a methane monitoring and 
detection pilot program at least at one landfill to demonstrate 
the latest technologies of methane detection.
    Harmful Algal Blooms.--The Committee recognizes the 
increasing challenges many communities face from harmful algal 
blooms [HABs] in freshwater and coastal ecosystems. The 
Committee encourages the Agency to fund research grants that 
help promote scientific progress towards preventing and 
controlling HABs in freshwater and coastal ecosystems, 
including research to: (1) determine the effectiveness of 
existing nutrient prevention and treatment technologies; (2) 
evaluate the scale-up of emerging nutrient treatment 
technologies and develop new technologies; and (3) develop best 
management practices to help both rural and urban communities 
reduce nutrients in their watersheds. Within the Safe and 
Sustainable Water Research Program, the Committee encourages 
EPA to prioritize funding for research on how to better 
understand and address HABs, support States in their efforts to 
prevent and manage HABs, and research the health issues related 
to aerosolized exposure to water contaminated with HABs. 
Further, the Committee notes the Agency's research to improve 
the understanding of discrete and diffuse sources of nutrient 
pollution that contribute directly to HABs as well as research 
to better understand the variety of nutrients that can 
contribute to HABs.
    Research Vessels.--The Committee notes the Lake Explorer II 
vessel is close to being condemned and encourages current 
funding be used to ensure continuity of the Agency's water 
quality and biological monitoring of the Great Lakes, including 
by replacing the vessel.
    PFAS.--The Committee continues its support for PFAS 
research at enacted levels and supports the research priorities 
outlined in the PFAS Framework to Prevent Unsafe New PFAS from 
Entering the Market.
    Waste Plastic and Waste Tires.--The Committee reiterates 
the directive included in the explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 118-42. The Committee notes continued 
stakeholder interest on the issue and directs the Agency to 
expedite its reporting to the Committee.

                 Environmental Programs and Management

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $3,178,028,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   4,406,988,000
Committee recommendation................................   3,255,489,000

    The bill provides $3,255,489,000 for Environmental Programs 
and Management, $77,641,000 more than the enacted level and 
$1,151,499,000 less than the budget request. The detailed 
allocation of funding by program and activity is included in 
the table accompanying this report. Program directives and 
specific funding requirements are noted in the following 
narrative.
    Clean Air.--The Committee recommends $305,924,000 for Clean 
Air. These resources will support efforts to address harmful 
air pollutants including greenhouse gases that are contributing 
to climate change. The resources provided include funding for 
the phase down of the use of hydrofluorocarbons. The Committee 
appreciates the Agency's work to implement this phase down and 
recognizes more resources are necessary to make grants under 
the authority provided in 42 U.S.C. 7676(h)(5). The Committee 
requests a briefing within 120 days of enactment of this act on 
these efforts. The Committee recognizes the value of and 
continues to support the EnergySTAR program and other programs 
where EPA works collaboratively with non-governmental entities 
to identify beneficial methods to reduce emissions, reduce 
pollution, or increase efficiency.
    The Committee provides an increase of $1,750,000, in 
partnership with other federal agencies to study and 
incorporate capabilities for observational methane and 
greenhouse gas monitoring and information systems that will 
integrate data from a variety of observational sources. The 
goal of such a system should be to make data more accessible 
and usable to Federal, State, Tribal, and local governments, 
researchers, the public, and other users and to inform the 
Agency's Greenhouse Gas Inventory.
    The Committee notes concerns about ozone standards in 
extreme non-attainment areas. The Committee directs the Agency 
to submit a report within 180 days of enactment of this act on 
how it will work with local, State, and Federal stakeholders, 
especially where Federal sources are a significant source of 
nonattainment, to reduce criteria pollutants. Where 
appropriate, the Committee encourages the Agency to solicit 
information from the public on ideas for achieving emissions 
reductions which could include incentive programs.
    Cost Effective Technologies.--The Committee notes the 
Agency's plans for additional climate change research as 
outlined in the President's budget request. The Committee 
directs the Agency to provide enacted levels in making use of 
available greenhouse gas emissions information from advanced 
monitoring technologies. The Agency is further directed to 
report to the Committee not later than 45 days after enactment 
of this act on progress to identify and mitigate methane 
emissions.
    The Committee commends EPA for its efforts through the 
AirNow Fire and Smoke Map to better forecast and communicate 
the impact of wildfire smoke on communities. The Committee is 
concerned that air quality monitors are not currently 
distributed equitably across impacted communities. The 
Committee encourages EPA to expand its support for wildfire 
smoke monitoring, including improving instrumentation, 
technical assistance, and outreach, using the resources 
provided in this bill with a focus on traditionally underserved 
or under-monitored communities. The bill continues funding for 
wildfire smoke-related activities.
    The Committee remains very concerned over the Agency's wood 
stove certification and testing program. The Committee notes 
the Inspector General's report finding significant shortcomings 
in the program leading to little health benefits at significant 
public cost. The bill maintains the enacted level for the 
Agency's wood stove certification and testing standards work. 
The Agency is directed to use the base funding to increase its 
staffing and other required efforts to support the wood stove 
certification and testing program. The Agency is further 
directed to brief the Committee within 60 days of enactment of 
this act on improvements the Agency plans to make to the 
program and how it will better communicate with State and local 
stakeholders.
    Compliance.--The bill provides $109,338,000 for Compliance. 
The Committee supports the Agency's efforts to modernize its 
compliance information systems to reduce duplication of effort 
and improve their utility for the public, States, Territories, 
Tribes, and other stakeholders, as well as efforts to 
accelerate EPA's development and adoption of Smart Tools for 
Field Inspectors. The Committee urges the Agency to facilitate 
ample opportunities for stakeholder input into the development 
of these efforts.
    Enforcement.--The bill provides $383,236,000, of which the 
enacted level is provided for the Environmental Justice

encourages the Agency to focus its enforcement resources on the 
most serious environmental violations, including through 
National Enforcement and Compliance Initiatives [NECIs] that 
seek to improve air quality, provide for clean and safe water, 
and ensure chemical safety. The Committee also notes the 
potential of addressing PFAS contamination in the future NECIs 
and considering voluntary Supplemental Environmental Projects 
[SEPs] as appropriate.
    The bill funds the Agency's Criminal Enforcement program 
and urges the Agency to remain fully engaged on the 
Hydrofluorocarbons Enforcement Task Force in collaboration with 
relevant partners, including working with domestic and 
international law enforcement to prevent illegal importation of 
prohibited products.
    Environmental Protection: National Priorities.--The bill 
provides $32,700,000 for competitive grants for qualified non-

making multi-year awards.
    Geographic Programs.--The bill provides $690,176,000 for 
Geographic Programs. A detailed allocation of funding for 
specific geographic programs is included in the table 
accompanying this report.
    This funding builds on the $1,717,000,000 appropriated to 
these programs in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 
(Public Law 117-58), including $381,800,000 for fiscal year 
2025.
    Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.--A long-term goal of 
the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative [GLRI] articulated in 
the GLRI Action Plan calls for land use, recreation, and 
economic activities that are managed to ensure that nearshore 
aquatic, wetland, and upland habitats will sustain the health 
and function of natural communities. The Committee is aware 
that metropolitan planning organizations in the region are 
working on site-specific land-use and economic development 
projects with local communities bordering the Great Lakes that 
can help advance this effort. The Agency is encouraged to work 
with these groups to advance this long-term goal as they 
allocate funding under the GLRI. The Committee encourages 
Agency funds for Great Lakes projects to be made available for 
projects in the historic Great Lakes Basin, which includes the 
Chicago River Watershed.
    The Committee encourages the Agency to work with the other 
members of the Great Lakes Interagency Taskforce and implement 
projects benefiting historically underserved communities.
    The Committee is encouraged by the Agency's commitment to 
accelerate the clean-up of Areas of Concern. The Committee 
notes that there is currently no community representation 
standard for Areas of Concern Public Advisory Councils, which 
are the entities charged with increasing public awareness, 
representing public priorities, and ensuring project 
implementation. The Committee urges the Agency to brief the 
Committee on how communities most impacted by Areas of Concern 
are represented in decision-making processes, steps to enhance 
community engagement and local capacity building, and the 
Agency's plan for engaging the Great Lakes community in the 
development of Action Plan IV. Finally, the Committee 
recommends the GLRI Distinct Tribal Program be funded at 5 
percent of the annually appropriated GLRI funding level.

funding for the Border Water Infrastructure Grant Program.
    Pesticide Licensing.--The Committee provides $118,901,000. 
The Committee continues the direction contained in Senate 
Report 118-83. The Committee recommends that the Agency ensure 
that any epidemiological study or data considered by the Agency 
for regulatory decisionmaking in the pesticide review process 
meets appropriate data requirements and peer review and 
consider whether to update its guidance accordingly.
    The Committee recognizes more resources are necessary to 
update the Framework for Incorporating Human Epidemiologic and 
Incident Data in Risk Assessments for Pesticides. The Committee 
directs the Agency to continue to update and refine its draft 
Rodenticide Strategy to include stakeholder input on the 
feasibility of mitigation measures, measurable feedback on 
their effectiveness at minimizing exposure to nontarget 
wildlife, and to listed species and their habitat. Finally, the 
Committee notes the agency's review of neonicotinoid 
insecticides on birds, insects, and the environment in addition 
to the tests regularly undertaken as part of pesticide 
registration and review and requests a briefing within 180 days 
of enactment of this act, including about the litigation and 
statutory requirements related to the exemption of treated 
seeds.
    The Committee notes the workload and demand of the Emerging

a Federal permit program for coal combustion residuals in 
nonparticipating States, as authorized under section 
4005(d)(2)(B) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 
6945(d)(2)(B)), or to provide technical assistance to States 
establishing their own permitting program under section 4005(d) 
of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6945(d)).
    Alaska Contaminated Sites.--The Committee recognizes the 
injustice done to Alaska Natives when, in return for settling 
their aboriginal rights to land under the Alaska Native Claims 
Settlement Act, the Federal Government conveyed to them 
thousands of contaminated sites which to-date largely remain 
contaminated because of Federal inaction. This enduring 
environmental injustice poses a significant threat to human 
health and the environment, including to drinking water 
sources, homes, schools, and more. The bill provides 
$22,016,000 for the inventory, verification, assessment, and 
remediation of these contaminated sites, as well as related 
community outreach and involvement. The Committee recognizes 
that neither the State of Alaska nor the Agency are responsible 
for the contamination. The Committee continues to thank the 
Agency for its leadership on this longstanding environmental 
injustice.
    Toxics Risk Review and Prevention.--The bill provides 
$116,234,000 for Toxics Risk Review and Prevention activities. 
The Committee reminds the Agency that the Lautenberg Act 
established a shared responsibility for the taxpayer and 
industry to contribute their share to support the TSCA program. 
The Committee notes recent actions related to changes to the 
fee amounts, the Agency's total costs for administering TSCA, 
exemptions, and modifications to requirements and timeframes, 
and directs the Agency to provide a briefing within 60 days of 
enactment of this act and a report to the Committee within 90 
days of enactment of this act outlining implementation of these 
changes.
    The Committee supports the Safer Choice program and directs 
that the program be funded at no less than the enacted level 
and operated consistent with prior years. Given the significant 
impact lead exposure has on children and their development, the 
Committee encourages EPA to prioritize its efforts to protect 
the public from lead hazards, including working with other 
agencies and departments to advance progress in addressing lead 
hazards in homes with children and in schools.
    The Committee understands the Agency's Office of Pollution 
Prevention and Toxics technology systems are in need of 
significant modernization. Of the funds provided, the Committee 
encourages the Agency to begin the stabilization and 
modernization of relevant systems.
    The Committee notes that the Agency has recently finalized 
a Risk Evaluation Framework rule regarding the use of personal 
protective equipment. The Agency is directed to brief the 
Committee about how stakeholder feedback is being considered by 
the Agency within 180 days of enactment of this act.
    6PPD-quinone.--The Committee continues to be concerned with 
the impact that 6p-phenylene-diameine (6PPD) and its 
transformant, 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-q), are having on aquatic 
ecosystems. The Committee supports the Agency's work on the 
recent testing method, its efforts to evaluate and implement 
stormwater management tools, and its research of safe 
alternatives to 6PPD. The Committee directs the Agency to 
continue coordinating across Federal and State agencies on 
shared priorities and to engage in robust government-to-

decision-making for both new and existing chemicals. Further, 
the Committee directs the Agency to employ a tiered testing and 
assessment framework to address data needs, in accordance with 
the law.
    Ensure Clean Water: National Estuary Program/Coastal 
Waterways and Wetlands.--The bill provides $62,285,000, of 
which the Committee recommends $885,714 per estuary for each of 
the 28 national estuaries in the National Estuary Program [NEP] 
authorized by section 320 of the Clean Water Act (Public Law 
92-500), an increase of $35,714 per estuary above the enacted 
level. The bill also provides at least $2,500,000 in 
competitive grants under the NEP. This funding builds on the 
$132,000,000 appropriated to the NEP in the Infrastructure 
Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58), including 
$26,400,000 for fiscal year 2025.
    National Estuary Program.--The Committee supports the 
National Estuary Program [NEP] and believes that estuaries 
provide critical ecosystem services that protect human health 
and public safety. These include water filtration, flood 
control, habitat enhancement and restoration, shoreline 
stabilization, erosion prevention, and the protection of 
coastal communities during hurricanes and storms. The Committee 
recognizes that many industries rely on healthy estuaries, and 
the Committee has provided funding to ensure the protection of 
these critical ecosystems.
    Meat and Poultry Products Effluent Guidelines.--The 
Committee notes concerns of the Agency's analysis of costs and

drinking water programs and provide input into their 
development. The Committee provides funding via the State and 
Tribal Assistance Grant account to support monitoring for 
unregulated contaminants under Section 1445(a)(2)(C) of the 
Safe Drinking Water Act and urges the Agency to proceed 
expeditiously to implement this program. The Agency is directed 
to brief the Committee on the Agency's implementation plan 
within 180 days of the enactment of this act. The Committee 
appreciates the completion of the 2024 Drinking Water 
Infrastructure Needs Survey Assessment and recognizes the 
assessment results in a substantial increase in drinking water 
infrastructure need since the sixth assessment.
    Within available funds, the Committee looks forward to the 
completion of the needs assessment for nationwide rural and 
urban low-income community water assistance authorized in 
section 50108 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 
(Public Law 117-58). The Agency is directed to brief the 
Committee on these findings within 120 days of enactment of 
this act.
    The Committee is concerned by the long processing time for 
Underground Injection Control Class VI well applications and 
the small number of final decisions approved by the Agency. The 
Committee urges greater priority be given to these permits 
within the Agency, including reviewing State applications for 
primacy.
    The Committee provides $5,800,000 for the Agency's 
continued work within the Underground Injection Control [UIC] 
program related to Class VI wells for geologic sequestration to 
help develop expertise and capacity at the Agency and process 
primacy applications.
    In addition, the Committee recommends $1,400,000 to support

additional staff or resources needed for this project.
    Small Refinery Relief.--The Committee recognizes that the 
Renewable Fuels Standard [RFS] under Clean Air Act Section 
211(o)(9) provides that EPA may exempt small refineries from 
compliance with the RFS in certain circumstances and that a 
small refinery ``may at any time petition the Administrator for 
an extension of the exemption for the reason of 
disproportionate economic hardship.''
    Pre-Commercial Thinning.--The Committee recognizes that 
pre-commercial thinning from non-Federal forestland that is not 
ecologically sensitive forestland can qualify as renewable 
biomass for purposes of the RFS under the provisions detailed 
in 40 C.F.R. 80.1401. The Committee directs the Agency to 
support other Federal agencies leading efforts to enhance 
markets for low-grade and low-value wood. The Agency is further 
directed to brief the Committee on these efforts within 180 
days of enactment of this act.
    Ethylene Oxide.--The Committee notes recent action on 
ethylene oxide emissions and encourages continued collaboration 
with stakeholders.

level and $99,551,000 below the budget request. The detailed 
allocation of funding by program and activity is included in 
the table accompanying this report. Program directives and 
specific funding requirements are noted in the following 
narrative.
    Infrastructure Assistance.--The bill provides 
$3,314,655,000 for Infrastructure Assistance. The Committee is 
aware that the Agency requires a certified operator in order to 
release funds for certain water and sanitation funding; 
however, some communities do not have a community system for 
either, or access to a certified operator. Therefore, the 
Committee directs the Agency to work with the Indian Health 
Service and those communities that lack water and sanitation 
systems, as well as a certified operator, to prevent the 
potential loss of funding and develop a training plan for 
operator certification.
    State Revolving Funds.--The bill provides $2,764,962,000 
for State Revolving Funds [SRFs] to support drinking and clean 
water infrastructure. These funds provide support for critical 
investments in water infrastructure in communities across the 
country. The Committee notes that a supplemental amount of 
$9,231,000,000 was appropriated for fiscal year 2025 for the 
State Revolving Funds in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs 
Act (Public Law 117-58).
    Infrastructure Projects.--From within funds provided for 
capitalization grants for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund 
and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, the Committee 
recommends $362,500,000 from the Clean Water SRF and 
$242,391,000 from the Drinking Water SRF be for Congressionally 
Directed Spending grants for the construction of drinking 
water, waste-water, and storm-water infrastructure and for 
water quality protection. Each project shall provide not less 
than 20 percent matching funds from non-Federal sources, unless 
approved for a waiver. Applicable Federal requirements that 
would apply to a Clean Water State Revolving Fund or Drinking 
Water State Revolving Fund project grant recipient shall apply 
to a grantee receiving a congressionally directed spending 
grant under this section. The Committee notes that the 
following funding sources are to be treated as non-Federal 
funds and can be used to meet the non-Federal matching fund 
requirement: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 
Community Development Block Grant Program; U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, Rural Development Program; and Appalachian 
Regional Commission grants. Funding made available to 
jurisdictions through the American Rescue Plan act of 2021 
(Public Law 117-2) is considered Federal funds and may not be 
applied towards the non-Federal cost share requirement. With 
approval from the project recipient, the Administrator may 
provide funding by grant or cooperative agreement to States to 
administer any Congressional Directed Spending projects being 
co-funded by the State SRF program or to support administration 
of other Congressional Directed Spending projects. A detailed 
list of projects is located in the table titled 
``Congressionally Directed Spending'' accompanying this report.
    The Committee provides a total of $596,641,000 in funding 
for 330 drinking water and clean water Congressionally Directed 
Spending projects. In the Fiscal Year 2024 Annual 
Appropriations bill (Public Law 117-103), the Committees 
provided $1,419,312,000 in funding for drinking water and clean 
water Congressionally Directed Spending and Community Project 
Funding projects. These community initiated projects are 
locally identified priorities to address pressing environmental 
challenges. The Committee reminds EPA that these projects are 
vital community priorities and strongly urges EPA to 
prioritize, communicate, and expedite support for grant 
recipients as they implement these projects. The Committee 
remains concerned that EPA does not have sufficient resources 
necessary to expeditiously implement this program and fully 
support recipients as they address applicable Federal grant 
requirements. Accordingly, the Committee provides $19,000,000 
in new funding for salaries, expenses, and administration for 
Congressionally Directed Spending and Community Project Funding 
grants provided in Fiscal Year 2024 and in this act. Further, 
the Committee appreciates the Agency's engagement with the 
Committee regarding additional, potential solutions to help 
resolve the Agency's significant backlog of Congressionally 
Directed Spending projects and directs the Agency to identify 
and commence regulatory actions and other administrative 
actions that will help obligate funding more quickly, including 
to adopt state environmental reviews. The Committee reminds the 
Agency of previous commitments to seriously engage with the 
Committee on finding long-term solutions to the growing backlog 
of CDS projects.
    Cost Share Waivers for Watershed Scale Benefits.--The 
Committee is concerned that the Agency has limited cost share 
waiver criteria for community grants within the State Revolving 
Funds to direct financial benefit in areas where projects 
provide clear indirect benefits to eligible communities and 
encourages EPA to reexamine waiver eligibility for community 
grant projects, such as improved water quality, conserved 
water, and drought resiliency.
    Diesel Emission Reduction Act Grants.--The Committee 
recommends $91,000,000 to continue a grant program to reduce 
diesel emissions, including through electrification, as 
authorized by Section 793 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 
(Public Law 109-58).
    Targeted Airshed Grants.--The bill provides $68,860,000 for 
Targeted Airshed Grants. These grants shall be distributed on a 
competitive basis to nonattainment areas that EPA determines 
are ranked as the top five most polluted areas relative to 
annual ozone or particulate matter 2.5 standards, as well as 
the top five areas based on the 24-hour particulate matter 2.5 
standard where the design values exceed the 35 mg/m3 standard. 
To determine these areas, the Agency shall use the most recent 
design values calculated from validated air quality data. The 
Committee notes that these funds are available for emission 
reduction activities deemed necessary for compliance with 
national ambient air quality standards and included in a State 
Implementation Plan submitted to EPA. The Committee reminds the 
agency of the report request contained in Senate Report 118-83 
and seeks updates with how more recent funds were allocated. 
EPA should provide a report to the Committee within 30 days of 
enactment of this act that includes a table showing how fiscal 
year 2022 and 2024 funds were allocated. The table should also 
include grant recipients and metrics for anticipated or actual 
results.
    Reducing Lead in Drinking Water.--The Committee encourages 
these funds to be prioritized and distributed to assist the 
communities most burdened by lead service lines in meeting the 
Administration's 10-year goal as outlined in the Lead Pipe and 
Paint Plan.
    Lead Service Line Replacement.--The Committee recognizes 
that certain States have expressed an early commitment to the 
Agency's 10-year goal, as outlined in the Lead Pipe and Paint 
Plan, by enacting state laws requiring lead service line 
replacement within 10 years. The Committee encourages the 
Agency to provide technical and operational assistance to 
communities within these States and to prioritize funding to 
help meet these goals.
    Sewer Overflow Control Grants.--The Committee recommends 
$41,000,000 to continue a grant program to control and treat 
sewer overflows and stormwater, as authorized in section 4106 
of Public Law 115-270.
    Wildfire Smoke Preparedness.--The Committee provides 
$9,000,000 for wildfire smoke preparedness grants. These grants 
shall be distributed on a competitive basis to States, 
federally recognized Tribes, public pre-schools, local 
educational agencies as defined in 20 U.S.C. 7801(30), and non-
profit organizations, for assessment, prevention, control, or 
abatement of wildland fire smoke hazards in community 
buildings, including schools as defined in 20 U.S.C. 3610(6), 
and related activities, and that serve disadvantaged 
communities or vulnerable populations. The Federal share of the 
costs of such activities shall not exceed 90 percent except 
that the Administrator may waive such cost share requirement in 
the case of facilities located in economically distressed 
communities. A maximum of 25 percent of grant funding under 
this paragraph during this fiscal year may go to recipients in 
any one State. Further, the Committee encourages the Agency to 
expand its efforts to select recipients that research and 
identify methods to reduce smoke exposure during wildland fire 
episodes, in addition to current eligibility categories, and 
improve wildfire smoke data collection, monitoring, prediction 
and community preparedness.
    Technical Assistance for Wastewater Treatment Works.--The 
Agency is directed to allocate funds to grantees within 180 
days of enactment of this act.
    State & Tribal Assistance Grants--Other.--The bill provides 
$26,297,000 for Congressionally Directed Spending grants. 
Further detail on these projects is located in the table titled 
``Congressionally Directed Spending'' accompanying this report.
    Stormwater Centers of Excellence.--The Committee supports 
addressing the unique challenges posed by managing stormwater 
and runoff in different regions of the country, including 
impacts on varying ecosystems. The Committee notes the 
importance of advancing stormwater management technologies and 
techniques to protect endangered aquatic species. The Committee 
provides $3,000,000 for the Agency's Centers of Excellence for 
the Stormwater Infrastructure Technology Program.
    Categorical Grants.--For Categorical Grants to States, 
Tribes, and other environmental partners for the implementation 
of delegated programs, the bill provides $1,113,833,000. The 
Committee recommends additional resources to support State and 
Tribal capacity to address environmental challenges and protect 
the public. The Committee believes that it is vital for the 
Agency to work collaboratively with State and Tribal partners 
and support their work to implement delegated environmental 
programs.
    Categorical Grant: Nonpoint Source (Sec. 319).--The bill 
provides $175,500,000. The Committee expects the Agency to 
examine the allocation formula to ensure that resources are 
spent in areas with the most pressing need.
    Categorical Grant: Public Water System Supervision.--The 
bill provides $116,990,000 in Public Water System Supervision 
Grants. Of the funds provided, $13,000,000 is to further 
support States, Territories, and Tribes in addressing PFAS and 
other contaminants of emerging concern as they carry out their 
Public Water System Supervision programs.
    Categorical Grant: State and Local Air Quality 
Management.--The bill provides $237,922,000 for State and Local 
Air Quality Management. The Committee recommends increased 
resources to help expand the capacity of air pollution control 
agencies to implement programs to address greenhouse gas 
emissions, improve air quality monitoring and outcomes, and 
reduce disproportionate exposure to dangerous pollution in 
communities. The Agency is directed to allocate funds for this 
program using the same formula as fiscal year 2015. Should the 
Agency seek to change the formula, it should submit a proposal 
in its fiscal year 2026 budget justification for consideration 
by the Committee.
    Categorical Grant: Resource Recovery and Hazardous Waste 
Grants.--The bill provides $103,500,000 for hazardous waste 
financial assistance grants. The bill includes a provision 
supporting categorical grant funds for the purpose of providing 
grants to assist States in the development and implementation 
of State programs for the control of coal combustion residuals 
under section 2301 of the Water and Waste Act of 2016 (Public 
Law 114-322), and EPA is directed to continue funding of at 
least $6,000,000 from the Hazardous Waste Financial Assistance 
categorical grants program project for this purpose. The 
Committee notes that funds awarded under the authority provided 
by this act are not subject to section 3011 of the Solid Waste 
Disposal Act (Public Law 89-272).
    Categorical Grant: Tribal General Assistance Program.--The 
bill provides $72,200,000 for Tribal General Assistance.
    Categorical Grant: Wetland Program Development Grant.--The 
Committee notes that this program, authorized under Section 
104(b)(3) of the Clean Water Act, allows for a wide range of 
activities, and encourages the Agency to coordinate with states 
and Tribes to ensure existing wetlands programs may 
successfully utilize these funds.
    Additional Guidance.--The Committee has provided the 
following additional guidance with respect to funding provided 
under this account.
    PFAS.--The Committee supports EPA's implementation of 
funding for PFAS and emerging contaminants under the bipartisan 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58). 
Congress provided a total of $10,000,000,000 to address PFAS 
and other emerging contaminants through the Drinking Water 
State Revolving Fund, the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and 
the Small and Disadvantaged Communities Program that includes a 
critical state response to contaminants program. The Committee 
encourages EPA to prioritize support to communities including 
providing technical assistance, information sessions, grant 
workshops, as well as extensive advertising and outreach to 
ensure States, Tribes and local entities are aware of and can 
fully participate in opportunities to address PFAS and other 
emerging contaminants provided by the bipartisan infrastructure 
law. The bill clarifies Congressional intent that funding 
provided in fiscal year 2025, including from Public Law 117-58, 
for grants for addressing contaminants under subsections (a) 
through (j) of section 1459A of the Safe Drinking Water (42 
U.S.C. 300j-19a) may be used by a State to provide assistance 
to benefit one or more owners of drinking water wells that are 
not public water systems or connected to a public water system 
for necessary and appropriate activities related to a 
contaminant pursuant to subsection (j) of section 1459A of the 
Safe Drinking Water Act. In implementing this funding, the 
Committee directs the Agency to encourage States to prioritize 
beneficiaries that make less than the average household income 
for that state.
    Use of Iron and Steel.--The bill includes language in title 
IV general provisions that stipulates requirements for the use 
of iron and steel in State Revolving Fund projects, and the 
recommendation includes only the following guidance. The 
Committee acknowledges that EPA may issue a waiver of said 
requirements for de minimis amounts of iron and steel building 
materials. The Committee emphasizes that any coating processes 
that are applied to the external surface of iron and steel 
components that otherwise qualify under the procurement 
preference shall not render such products ineligible for the 
procurement preference regardless of where the coating 
processes occur, provided that final assembly of the products 
occurs in the United States.
    Schools and Clean School Bus Program.--The Committee 
directs the Agency to conduct outreach to potential applicants 
in historically disadvantaged, underserved, low-income, and 
rural communities regarding the availability of resources for 
the replacement of existing school buses. The Agency should 
collaborate with the Departments of Energy and Transportation 
to ensure technical assistance, funding resources, and 
procedures to ensure that mechanics and drivers have the 
training needed, that charging infrastructure is appropriately 
installed, and the investment in clean school buses protects 
and creates high-quality jobs throughout the domestic supply 
chain. Further, the Committee encourages the Agency to continue 
to work with the Departments of Energy and Education for 
educational institutions to expand the transition to clean 
energy and transportation.
    Regional Water Commissions.--The Committee continues the 
direction contained in Senate Report 118-83.
    Food Waste.--The Committee encourages the Agency to 
supplement education through the Recycling Education Outreach 
program for a National Education Campaign on Food Waste 
Reduction to be carried out in partnership with other 
stakeholders as detailed in the Draft National Strategy for 
Reducing Food Loss and Waste and Recycling Organics. The 
Committee requests a briefing within 180 days of enactment of 
this act, including regarding funding for anaerobic digestion 
and food waste reduction infrastructure grants in the Waste 
Minimization and Recycling Program for the Solid Waste 
Infrastructure for Recycling grant program.

Committee recognizes the importance of seed stock and tree 
nurseries in efforts to regenerate white oak populations.
    Wildfire Recovery.--The Service should partner with Tribes 
to prioritize recovery on lands impacted by wildfire.
    21st Century Conservation Service Corps and Job Corps.--The 
Service offers workforce development experiences for youth from 
rural, suburban, and urban communities through a portfolio of 
programs including the Job Corps Civilian Conservation Centers, 
the Youth Conservation Corps, and hundreds of Public Lands 
Corps and 21st Century Conservation Service Corps partnerships 
with non-government organizations. The Committee appreciates 
the Service's continued focus on establishing additional work-
based learning projects that better integrate these programs 
into agency operations and creating additional career ladders 
throughout the Department of Agriculture for Job Corps 
graduates. The Service should ensure that diverse and 
underrepresented young people are included in these programs 
and that locations served by urban and community forestry units 
are incorporated into work zones. The Committee directs the 
Service to continue to expand advanced wildfire training 
offerings at Job Corps Civilian Conservation Centers.

                     FOREST AND RANGELAND RESEARCH

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $300,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     315,624,000
Committee recommendation................................     319,124,000

    The bill provides $319,124,000 for Forest and Rangeland 
Research, $19,124,000 above the enacted level and $3,500,000 
above the request. Program directives and specific funding 
requirements are noted in the following narrative.
    The Forest Service research and development program 
represents the premier forest science institution in the world. 
The basic and applied research produced by these Federal 
scientists and collaborators is integral to improving the 
health of our forests and grasslands by addressing threats like 
climate change, invasive species and diseases, biodiversity 
loss, and uncharacteristic fire. Research and development is 
also important to the health of rural economies through the 
Service's work to deliver new technologies and uses for woody 
biomass. The Committee provides the investments and directed 
projects in this bill in anticipation of more innovative 
solutions for sustainable management and biomass utilization to 
come.
    Forest Inventory and Analysis.--The bill provides 
$33,697,000 for the Forest Inventory and Analysis [FIA] 
program, the authoritative national data source for forests and 
forest carbon data, which provides comprehensive data 
collection, analysis and reporting on forest conditions, 
including urban and community forest environments, across all 
forestlands for use by all forest stakeholders.
    While Federal and non-Federal teams work to collect the 
data, the Committee recognizes the efforts of the Forest 
Service research and development staff who are responsible for 
analyzing and translating the data into actionable products. 
The Committee directs the Service to provide a briefing within 
90 days of enactment of this act detailing the interdependency 
of FIA and other Research and Development programs.
    To increase data resolution of products based on the FIA 
plot network and to develop ways to deal with nonresponse on 
the FIA plot network, the Service should work to complete the 
small area estimation effort with partners, and continue 
development, demonstration, and deployment of advanced forest 
carbon monitoring, reporting, and verification technologies 
such as LiDAR, hyperspectral monitoring, uncrewed aircraft 
systems, in collaboration with Research and Development and 
other partners.
    Research and Development Programs.--The bill provides 
$60,000,000 for base research activities and $221,427,000 for 
salaries and expenses.
    The Committee supports the current structure consisting of 
the five regional research stations, the International 
Institute of Tropical Forestry, and the Forest Products 
Laboratory, and directs that each of the existing facilities 
and programs be funded at least at the enacted level. The 
Service is reminded that the benefit to the agency and public 
should be identified prior to initiating a project and that the 
research priority should be for projects requested by or 
benefitting the agency's mission first, not those from external 
entities. The Committee also expects that funds collected from 
reimbursable agreements by the research program will be 
reinvested at the station level into programs of work, rather 
than used to offset salaries and expenses.
    The Committee notes that the National Agroforestry Center 
should be appropriately staffed to provide technology transfer 
and technical assistance delivery to meet increasing producer 
demand for agroforestry technical assistance and scale 
implementation of agroforestry practices, thus advancing the 
health, diversity, climate mitigation and adaptation, and 
productivity of working lands, waters, and communities.
    Forest Products Laboratory.--The Committee expects the Lab 
to continue research to advance wood markets, including 
research on the amount of carbon stored annually in harvested 
wood products, evaluated by specific wood producing sectors, 
setting the stage for the completion of this carbon storage 
accounting on an annual basis. Efforts should also continue to 
focus on the environmental lifecycle benefits of harvested wood 
products in the built environment, utilizing a ``whole 
building'' life cycle approach to quantify these benefits. The 
Committee further notes that the Lab should prioritize wood 
innovation tech transfer and science deployment while 
protecting the taxpayer's intellectual property, and fill 
positions that are necessary for this effort.
    Ongoing Research.--The Committee continues to support 
research optimizing and improving the understanding of carbon 
uptake in trees in a manner consistent with advancing 
traditional food and fiber mission objectives, including remote 
monitoring, modeling the technical, economic, and social 
impacts on land use from afforestation and forest management 
changes, demonstration projects for best practices to improve 
disposal of wood products after use, and design and 
demonstration of landfills for woody biomass disposal and 
carbon sequestration.
    Experimental Forests in the Northeast.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of experimental forests in the 
northeastern United States for assessing the long-term response 
of eastern white pine and northern hardwoods to various forest 
management prescriptions, controlled burning and natural 
factors, such as insects, disease, weather events and climate 
change. The continued collection of data and sustained research 
on experimental forests in the Northeast is essential for 
predicting future forest conditions to inform management on 
National Forest System lands. This research is also critical 
for advising private landowners and the forest industry on how 
to build resilience into forest stewardship. Accordingly, the 
Committee directs the Service to prioritize restoring staffing 
at experimental forests with vacancies in leadership positions 
and to develop a plan to address deferred maintenance needs.
    Northwest Wildland and Rangeland Fire Science Consortium.--
The Committee continues to recognize the growing economic and 
ecological threat wildfires pose to communities in the 
Northwest. The Committee directs the Service to partner with a 
consortium of higher education institutions with a demonstrated 
history of collaborating on forest and rangeland wildfire 
research in the Northwest region to advance the design and 
implementation of geographically, ecologically, and culturally 
relevant science-based treatments at scale across public, 
private, and Tribal forests and rangelands. This program should 
include all stakeholders, including industry partners.
    Research Funding Priorities.--For the following research 
initiatives, the Service is reminded that funding for the 
following items is in addition to funds otherwise provided to 
individual research stations and therefore is not to be 
factored into base allocations for the stations.
  --$6,000,000 to support the Northeastern States Research 
        Cooperative, a collaboration among universities in 
        Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont, sponsoring 
        research to sustain the health of northern forest 
        ecosystems and communities, develop new forest products 
        and improve forest biodiversity management. Within the 
        available funds, the Cooperative is directed to 
        continue the work of the Digital Forestry Systems 
        Research Consortium to advance digital forest 
        management systems to increase ecosystem services and 
        operational efficiency in eastern forests.
  --$4,000,000 for cooperative research to advance 
        understandings and innovative solutions to address 
        wildfire impacts on forested source water, downstream 
        clean water, and water treatability.
  --$3,000,000 for university-led research and partnerships to 
        better understand fires in the wildland-urban 
        interface, improve workforce development for wildfire 
        management professionals, and improve the safety and 
        efficiency of wildland firefighting techniques.
  --$1,500,000 to continue Forest Products Laboratory 
        university partnerships to optimize biomass 
        commercialization, including lumber standards, mass 
        timber construction, and durability.
  --$1,000,000 for a Northwest wildland and rangeland fire 
        science consortium.
  --$500,000 to increase modeling work to better understand the 
        upper limit of fish distribution in the Pacific 
        Northwest.
    Joint Fire Science.--The bill provides $4,000,000 for Joint 
Fire Science. Combined with $4,000,000 in the Department of 
Interior Wildland Fire Management account, a total of 
$8,000,000 is provided for this program. The Committee expects 
the program to continue to work with a broad network of 
academic researchers to address the range of research needs to 
better address fundamental connections and interactions across 
all temporal phases of wildfires and enhance wildfire 
resilience. The Committee expects the program to focus on 
salient issues such as understanding smoke impacts, identifying 
drivers of fire costs, analyzing fire behavior, and quantifying 
fire's effects on resources and communities. The Committee 
urges the Governing Board to respond to the recommendations 
included in the Report of the Wildland Fire Mitigation and 
Management Commission, including by establishing mechanisms to 
partner with the National Science Foundation and the Department 
of Defense to address scientific innovation and technology 
development related to wildfires, post-fire monitoring and 
recovery, and watershed health-related fire research.

                  STATE, PRIVATE, AND TRIBAL FORESTRY

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $303,306,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     305,408,000
Committee recommendation................................     314,481,000

    The bill provides $314,481,000 for State, Private, and 
Tribal Forestry, $11,175,000 above the enacted level and 
$9,073,000 above the request. The detailed allocation of 
funding by program and activity is included in the table 
accompanying this report. Program directives and specific 
funding requirements are noted in the following narrative. All 
funding for specific programs, directives, or congressionally 
directed spending identified herein is in addition to funds 
otherwise provided to States and regions through the formula 
and competitive grant process and therefore is not to be 
factored into those allocations.
    Within the funds provided, $1,000,000 is for the Forest 
Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative to support existing academic 
partnerships in the Northern Forest Region.
    Lake Tahoe Basin.--The Committee directs the Service to 
support the implementation of Public Law 106-506, as amended, 
at no less than the fiscal year 2024 enacted levels.
    Sudden Oak Death.--Since 2001, the Service has been 
treating Sudden Oak Death infestations on public lands in 
Oregon and California in partnership with the Bureau of Land 
Management. The Committee expects the Service to continue these 
efforts and provides $3,000,000 for Sudden Oak Death treatments 
and partnerships with States and private landowners.
    Western Bark Beetle.--The Committee remains concerned about 
the high rate of tree mortality in National Forests due to 
insect and disease outbreaks. In many cases throughout the 
West, bark beetle infestation threatens local communities and 
non-Federal lands located outside of a National Forest unit. 
The Committee instructs the Service to prioritize the use of 
funding provided under the Western Bark Beetle Initiative for 
projects located on non-Federal land in cases where state 
government partners identify a need related to community 
wildfire protection.
    Urban and Community Forestry.--The Committee recognizes 
there is a critical need to restore and improve urban forests 
due to dominance of exotic invasive woody species. The Service 
should prioritize regional multi-organizational collaborations 
to support conservation efforts that help trees adapt to and 
offset climate change, which model best practices for effective 
urban and community forestry grants. The Committee expects the 
program to prioritize tree-planting in socially disadvantaged 
and historically underserved communities with low canopy 
coverage, including Tribal communities.
    The Service is further directed to work with the Office of 
Urban Agriculture to provide a report outlining a strategy for 
capitalizing on Forest Service authorities to use agroforestry 
to develop green infrastructure, resilient local food sheds, 
and workforce development, within 180 days of enactment of this 
act.
    Forest Resource Information and Analysis.--The bill 
provides $14,923,000 for congressionally directed spending in 
this program. In order to align with 2022 agency guidance, no 
match is required for these projects. A detailed list of 
projects is included in the ``Congressionally Directed 
Spending'' table accompanying this report.
    International Programs and Trade.--The bill provides 
$20,150,000 for the Forest Service Office of International 
Programs. The Committee supports the International Program for 
its benefits to American forestry stakeholders through global 
engagement on climate change, forest products trade, U.S. 
migratory species habitat conservation, and initiatives to 
protect American forests from invasive pests. The Committee 
directs the Office to collaborate with other Department of 
Agriculture agencies to continue to promote American wood 
product exports by implementing applied research, technical 
cooperation, financial assistance, marketing initiatives, and 
other support mechanisms. Further, an additional $150,000 is 
included for the program to continue to expand existing 
relationships with universities and other partners to combat 
illegal logging, protect American forests from invasive 
species, and conserve international habitat of migratory 
species.
    The Committee expects that funds collected from 
reimbursable agreements will be reinvested into programs of 
work, rather than used to offset salaries and expenses.
    In fiscal year 2023, the Committee included language 
providing for the creation of a supporting organization in 
order to complement and expand the impact of the Office of 
International Programs. Now that the Forest Service 
International Foundation has been established, the Committee 
encourages continued cooperative support and investment by the 
Forest Service. While the Committee directs that no match shall 
be required from the Foundation, the Foundation is expected to 
prioritize securing external funding, as appropriate. The 
Service is directed to brief the Committee on funding and the 
state of the partnership within 90 days of enactment of this 
Act.

                         NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $1,863,557,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   2,007,149,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,009,697,000

    The bill provides $2,009,697,000 for the National Forest 
System, $146,140,000 above the enacted level and $2,548,000 
above the request. The detailed allocation of funding by 
program and activity is included in the table accompanying this 
report.
    Recreation, Heritage, and Wilderness.--The bill provides 
$58,000,000 for Recreation, Heritage, and Wilderness. These 
funds are used to maintain recreation sites like campgrounds 
and trails, rehabilitate recreation infrastructure, improve 
visitor use, manage special use authorizations, protect 
heritage sites, and steward a network of 451 Wilderness areas 
and 130 Wild & Scenic Rivers. The increase provided 
acknowledges the significant increase in recreational 
visitation over the past decade.
    Within the funds provided, $1,000,000 is included for the 
Office of Recreation, Heritage and Volunteer Resources-Travel, 
Tourism and Interpretation Program to continue implementation 
of the Native American Tourism and Improving Visitor Experience 
[NATIVE] Act (Public Law 114-221), including to identify and 
provide technical assistance, training, and rural development 
support to Tribes, Tribal organizations and Native Hawaiian 
organizations to promote sustainable native tourism activities. 
The Committee directs the Service, in consultation with Indian 
tribes, Tribal organizations, and Native Hawaiian 
organizations, to identify areas where technical assistance, 
training, and cultural tourism development support is needed to 
implement the NATIVE Act.
    Within the funds provided, $3,000,000 is continued to 
support infrastructure and trails development and to build the 
capacity of local user groups and partnership organizations in 
National Recreation Areas administered by the Service and 
established after 1997.
    The Service is encouraged to evaluate how it supports the 
administration, cooperative management, and collaboration with 
the National Park Service for the Appalachian National Scenic 
Trail.
    Grazing Management.--The bill provides $6,300,000 for 
Grazing Management.
    The Service is directed, to the greatest extent 
practicable, to make vacant grazing allotments available to a 
holder of a grazing permit or lease when lands covered by the 
holder of the permit or lease are unusable because of drought 
or wildfire. The Service must prioritize management of active 
allotments that are not meeting or are inconsistent with 
current forest plan standards or do not have current 
assessments, and reducing the backlog of active allotments 
requiring analysis and new management decisions under the 
National Environmental Policy Act, according to the priorities 
established in the Forest Service Handbook. The Service is 
directed to brief the Committee within 90 days of enactment of 
this act on its progress to relieve the backlog of fully 
processed permits. Further, the Service shall evaluate the 
condition of permitted lands with Greater sage-grouse habitat 
and is directed to modify usage to assure achievement of sage-
grouse habitat requirements, taking into account drought, 
climate change, and its multiple use mandate.
    Fuels Management.--The bill provides $208,548,000 for fuels 
management. Within funds provided, $30,000,000 is for Wood 
Innovation Grants; $15,000,000 is for the Community Wood Energy 
Program; and $6,600,000 is provided for the Southwest 
Ecological Restoration Institutes.
    Wood Innovation Grants are an important tool for creating 
and expanding markets for low-grade and low-value wood, 
providing economic diversity for forest communities and 
reducing wildfire risk in the process. The Committee notes that 
these efforts can deliver a cost-effective and sustainable path 
to reduce excessive hazardous fuels loads, foster long-term 
forest resilience, and potentially aid in carbon storage. The 
Service must expand its efforts on innovative biomass uses, 
giving precedence to funding Wood Innovation Grant projects 
that will open the door to new, widespread uses for wood-based 
nanotechnology, mass timber and cross-laminated timber, fire-
resistant building materials, high-energy efficient wood for 
energy production, affordable housing, and other promising 
products.
    Fuels Outcome Metrics.--The Committee is concerned that 
existing performance indicators for fuels management are 
insufficient and directs the Service to work collaboratively 
across deputy areas to define and expand the use of outcome-
based performance metrics that better capture the extent to 
which forest health is improved and wildfire risk reduced. The 
Service shall report to the Committee on models and decision 
support tools to improve reporting within 180 days of enactment 
of this act.
    Fuels Contracts.--The Committee is aware that the Service 
is pursuing contracting mechanisms that accelerate hazardous 
fuels reduction efforts. The Committee urges the Service to 
utilize these contracting mechanisms on project areas across 
the country, such as the Four Forest Restoration Initiative, to 
prioritize forest health and restoration, including hazardous 
fuels treatment, in accordance with the Wildfire Crisis 
Strategy.
    Prescribed Fire Strategy.--The Service is directed to 
develop a national strategy for increasing the use of 
prescribed fire consistent with the ecological needs of an area 
and brief the Committee on the strategy within 270 days of 
enactment of this act.
    Vegetation and Watershed Management.--The bill provides 
$33,000,000 for Vegetation and Watershed Management. The 
Committee recognizes that wildfire risk mitigation and aquatic 
restoration efforts are critical to protecting the quantity and 
quality of source water on National Forest System lands that 
provides drinking water and agricultural use while benefitting 
fish and wildlife. The Service should maximize its use of 
current authorities and funding to protect and restore source 
watersheds. The Committee encourages the Service to conduct 
additional outreach to water users to utilize existing 
vegetation and watershed management funding to demonstrate the 
value of restoring aquatic ecosystems to build resilience to 
natural hazards in source watersheds, including through the 
Water Source Protection Program.
    Wildlife and Fish Habitat Management.--The bill provides 
$25,000,000 for Wildlife and Fish Habitat Management.
    The Committee expects the Service to maintain no less than 
$2,000,000 for threatened and endangered species activities to 
contribute to significant recovery actions. The Committee 
expects the Service to increase its efforts to recover listed 
plant and animal species and take actions that will protect 
sensitive plant and animal species from requiring listing. The 
Service is directed to provide an accounting of how funds are 
allocated to specific recovery programs and activities to the 
Committee in its congressional budget justification.
    Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Fund.--The bill 
provides $34,000,000 for Collaborative Forest Landscape 
Restoration [CFLR] and continues language allowing additional 
projects to be funded with this significant expansion of the 
program. CFLR is the single best way to facilitate large scale 
projects on National Forests that make meaningful progress for 
forest and watershed health while also creating jobs with the 
generation of commercial timber. These projects come to 
fruition through identifying innovative techniques for getting 
work done, increasing community support for restoration 
projects, leveraging capacity, expanding the scale of 
restoration, and creating and maintaining jobs by a diverse set 
of local stakeholders who are committed to forest restoration 
and sustaining rural communities. The Committee commends the 
Service on continuing to expand this program and expects many 
positive results as these projects are implemented.
    Salaries and Expenses.--The bill provides $1,541,344,000 
for Salaries and Expenses, including for employees who carry 
out functions funded by the Capital Improvement and 
Maintenance, Range Betterment Fund, and Management of National 
Forest Lands for Subsistence Uses accounts.
    Additional Guidance.--The Committee provides the following 
additional guidance related to activities funded in this 
account.
    Black Hills National Forest.--The Committee directs the 
Service to provide a briefing within 60 days of enactment of 
this act on historic timber sale program trends in the Black 
Hills National Forest and the potential impacts on forest 
health.
    Pisgah National Forest.--The Committee directs the Service 
to provide a briefing on management challenges and resulting 
impacts to the ecosystem related to increased recreational use 
in the Wilson Creek Area of the Pisgah National Forest.
    Tongass National Forest.--The Service is expected to meet 
the targets outlined in the current 2016 Tongass Land and 
Resource Management Plan. The Committee continues the direction 
contained in Senate Report 115-276. The bill provides funding 
necessary to for the Service's costs to process rights-of-way 
applications.
    Regional Recreation Enhancement.--The Committee strongly 
encourages the Service to schedule and meaningfully participate 
in quarterly meetings with Pat Harrison Waterway District and 
the Smith County, Mississippi Board of Supervisors to 
collaborate on ways to expand outdoor recreation activities on 
the Bienville National Forest and to make the Committee aware 
of such discussions.
    Recommended Wilderness.--The Committee encourages the 
Service to manage recommended wilderness both for the 
characteristics that provide the basis for wilderness 
recommendation as well as to reconsider historic uses that can 
be managed using appropriate adaptive management that does not 
permanently harm the social and ecological characteristics that 
provide the basis for wilderness designation.
    Northwest Forest Plan.--The Committee recognizes the 
significance of the Northwest Forest Plan revisions and directs 
the Service to prioritize resources to ensure the timely 
completion of this planning process. The Service is directed to 
report to the Committee on implementation needs and costs of 
Plan revisions, including funding requirements in fiscal year 
2026, within 90 days of enactment of this Act.
    Old Growth Forests.--The Committee recognizes that the 
draft Environmental Impact Statement for the National Old 
Growth Amendment was released on June 21, 2024 for a 90-day 
comment period. The Committee expects the Service to consider 
developing adaptive strategies for the conservation of old-
growth forests and create a national old-growth monitoring 
network. The Committee encourages the Service to use its 
relationships with non-Federal partners to leverage resources 
to assist with this effort and expects the Service to 
collaborate with Tribal Nations, State governments, and 
nongovernmental stakeholders to develop the adaptive strategy. 
The Committee recognizes that the Wildfire Crisis Strategy, 
which emphasizes wildfire risk reduction and proactive 
stewardship to create resilient forests, is consistent with the 
conservation of old-growth forests that are resilient to 
disturbances such as uncharacteristic wildfire, and expects the 
Service to implement both management strategies.
    Sediment Removal.--The Service shall initiate the 
development of necessary guidance to establish a streamlined 
process to facilitate, when feasible, the relocation of 
noncontaminated, accumulated sediment from behind a dam or 
impoundment within or adjacent to Forest Service lands, where 
such sediment impairs water supply or electric power 
generation, or if left unattended, would pose a threat to the 
structural integrity of the dam.
    Lake Tahoe Basin.--The Committee directs the Service to 
support the implementation of Public Law 106-506, as amended, 
and restoration efforts in the greater Lake Tahoe fireshed, at 
no less than the fiscal year 2024 enacted levels.

                  CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND MAINTENANCE

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $156,130,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     158,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     179,701,000

    The bill provides $179,701,000 for Capital Improvement and 
Maintenance, $23,571,000 above the enacted level and 
$21,701,000 above the request. As in previous years, this 
amount is offset with a scoring credit related to the Roads and 
Trails Fund. Program directives and specific funding 
requirements are noted in the following narrative. All funding 
for specific programs, directives, or congressionally directed 
spending identified herein is in addition to funds otherwise 
provided to stations and regions and therefore is not to be 
taken into account when allocating those resources.
    The Committee recognizes the importance of the Legacy 
Restoration Fund authorized by the Great American Outdoors Act 
(Public Law 116-152), which will provide $1,425,000,000 over 5 
years to addressing deferred maintenance. These mandatory funds 
augment the appropriations from this account, which continues 
to be necessary for new construction and to maintain Service 
infrastructure so that additional projects are not added to the 
deferred maintenance backlog. Fiscal Year 2025 is the last year 
for this mandatory funding under the current authorization.
    Facilities.--The bill provides $56,500,000 for Facilities, 
of which at least $4,000,000 is for firefighter housing 
improvements.
    The Committee believes that the Service should be an 
exemplar in using mass timber building materials and require 
the use of mass timber in the construction, renovation, or 
repair of its facilities.
    Roads.--The bill provides $74,500,000 for Roads. The 
Service should focus on managing and protecting investments 
made to the National Forest Road System, which provides access 
to residents, visitors, outfitters, emergency responders, and 
those involved in restoration, stewardship and commercial 
activities. This will reduce accidents, minimize ecological 
impacts, and provide safe access to communities and residents 
as secondary evacuation routes during emergencies.
    Trails.--The bill provides $21,500,000 for Trails, of which 
no less than the enacted level is for trail operations, 
maintenance, and construction on National Scenic and Historical 
Trails. The Committee is aware of the growing need to sustain 
and increase the capacity for resilient trail building within 
the outdoor recreation community. The Service is encouraged to 
collaborate with regional training centers that provide 
resources for training trails stewards responsible for the 
maintenance of trails for public use and is further encouraged 
to focus on maintaining geographical diversity in its 
partnerships.
    Legacy Roads and Trails.--The bill provides $6,000,000 for 
Legacy Roads and Trails. This program was permanently 
authorized, clarifying the allowable activities, and funded at 
$50,000,000 per year in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs 
Act (Public Law 117-58). The program goals are to restore 
watersheds, protect drinking water, and reconnect waterways for 
migrating fish, by strategically targeting projects associated 
with the backlog of deteriorating national forest 
infrastructure.
    The Service is directed to provide an annual report to the 
Committee within 120 days of the end of the fiscal year, 
detailing Legacy Roads and Trails Remediation accomplishments, 
including miles of roads and trails improved, miles of streams 
restored, number of bridges and stream crossings constructed, 
miles of road decommissioned, and number of jobs created.
    Construction Projects.--The bill provides $21,201,000 for 
congressionally directed spending in this program. A detailed 
list of projects is included in the ``Congressionally Directed 
Spending'' table accompanying this report.

                        WILDLAND FIRE MANAGEMENT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024\1\................................. $2, 312,654,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   2,550,442,000
Committee recommendation\2\.............................   2,438,611,000

\1\Includes $1,363,184,000 provided with an emergency designation.
\2\Includes $2, 438,611,000 provided with an emergency designation.

    The bill provides $2,438,611,000 for wildland fire 
management, $125,957,000 above the enacted level and 
$111,831,000 below the request.
    Fire Operations.--The bill provides $204,500,000 for 
preparedness, $1,011,000,000 for suppression operations, and 
$1,223,111,000 for salaries and expenses. As noted in the Front 
Matter, the bill includes funding for a permanent pay fix and 
job series for Federal wildland firefighters and incorporates 
legislative text to effectuate the necessary changes in 
statute. Within preparedness funding, $2,000,000 is to initiate 
a health and wellness program for firefighters.
    As noted in the front matter of this report, the Committee 
expects that with these resources, the Service will continue to 
transform its wildland fire workforce to allow for increased 
firefighter pay, create year-round firefighting and fuels 
management capacity, supply appropriate levels of personal 
protective equipment, and implement technology modernizations 
outlined in Section 1114 of the John D. Dingell, Jr. 
Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (Public Law 116-9) 
to increase the safety of firefighters and the public, as well 
to enhance effective responses to wildfire.
    Procurement Forecasting.--The Service should actively 
engage with stakeholders, including industry partners, to 
leverage their expertise and innovation in developing and 
implementing new technology and contract processes for where 
they can address wildland fire management priorities, 
challenges, and opportunities.
    Firefighter Housing.--The Committee is concerned that the 
low availability, high cost, and/or disrepair of housing 
provided by Federal agencies in many areas of the country is a 
barrier to the recruitment and retention of Federal wildland 
firefighters. Accordingly, the Service is encouraged to address 
the housing needs necessary to support a professional 
firefighting capacity with a predominantly permanent workforce, 
including by determining the maintenance and reconstruction 
needs for existing housing and new housing needed in order to 
recruit and retain firefighters in areas where it is difficult 
to find housing.
    New Technology Adoption.--Instead of establishing a joint 
office for wildfire science technology as proposed in the 
budget request, the Committee directs the Service to use 
existing resources to create a strategic plan for adopting new 
technologies. The Service should fully utilize the expertise of 
the Fire Science Laboratory to develop and deploy new 
technologies, tools and techniques that will assist in 
prediction, detection, monitoring, suppression, and other 
capabilities that must be improved to respond to the higher 
incidence of catastrophic wildfire. This includes remote 
automated weather stations, space-based remote sensing data, 
satellite imagery, and integrated acquisition technology 
services. Further, the Service is encouraged to work with 
States and other Federal agencies to evaluate existing 
contracts and identify opportunities to allow greater use and 
coordination of satellite data.

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


                         Indian Health Service

    The Indian Health Service [IHS] is the agency within the 
Department of Health and Human Services that has responsibility 
for providing Federal health services to approximately 2.6 
million American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of 
health services to Tribes grew out of the special relationship 
between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes that was 
established in 1787, based on article I, section 8 of the 
Constitution, and given form and substance by numerous 
treaties, laws, Supreme Court decisions, and Executive orders 
that followed. Most notable among these is the Snyder Act of 
1921 (Public Law 67-85), which provides the basic authority for 
most Indian health services provided by the Federal Government 
to Native Americans and Alaska Natives.
    IHS services are provided directly and through Tribally-
contracted and operated programs in over 600 healthcare 
facilities located throughout the United States, primarily in 
rural and isolated areas. Healthcare is also purchased from 
more than 9,000 private providers annually. The Federal system 
consists of 28 hospitals, 61 health centers, and 34 health 
stations. Through Public Law 93-638, the Indian Self-
Determination and Education Assistance Act, Tribes and Tribal 
organizations compact and contract health programs to manage 17 
hospitals, 249 health centers, and 70 health stations. In 
addition, grants to 34 nonprofit urban Indian health 
organizations provide a variety of health and referral 
services.
    Access to a good education, safe and reliable housing, 
clean drinking water, and access to healthcare are all 
important for positive health outcomes and life expectancy. 
Disparities among these areas of basic infrastructure have 
contributed to health disparities among Native American 
communities. In order to truly address Indian Country's 
healthcare needs, more must be done to address the 
comprehensive full-scale social determinants of health across 
the Federal Government. IHS plays a pivotal role in not only 
providing direct care services to Native Americans but through 
preventative programs that make a meaningful difference for 
Native American health outcomes.

                         Indian Health Services

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $4,948,731,000
Advance Appropriations, 2025............................  $4,684,029,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   5,641,232,000
Committee recommendation, new appropriations, 2025......     527,779,000
Committee recommendation, total resources available, 
    2025................................................   5,211,808,000
Budget estimate, advance appropriations, 2026...........   5,641,232,000
Committee recommendation, advance appropriations, 2026..   4,933,790,000

    The Committee recommends $5,211,808,000 in total resources 
for fiscal year 2025 for Indian Health Services, an increase of 
$263,077,000 to the enacted level. The Committee recommendation 
also provides $4,933,790,000 in advance appropriations for the 
Services account for fiscal year 2026, equal to the fiscal year 
2025 Committee recommendation with the exception of funding 
provided for Electronic Health Records and the Indian 
Healthcare Improvement Fund, which is provided only an annual 
appropriation. The following direction relates to the total 
fiscal year 2025 funding recommendation. All programs, 
projects, and activities are maintained at fiscal year 2024 
enacted levels unless otherwise stated. The bill provides 
$119,037,000 for pay costs within current services, as 
requested.
    Recruitment and Retention.--The Committee remains concerned 
the IHS is not able to recruit and retain enough clinical staff 
to maintain a high quality of care at the Service's federally 
operated facilities and directs the Service to work with the 
Office of Management and Budget to expedite creation of market-
specific pay scales to ensure the Service is able to offer 
competitive recruitment packages, an issue highlighted in the 
2018 GAO report that examined agency challenges filling 
provider vacancies (GAO-18-580). The Committee reminds IHS a 
report is owed on any regulatory or statutory limitations that 
prohibit the Service from offering incentives, such as 
scheduling flexibility, that the Service believes hurts its 
recruitment and retention efforts. The Committee is encouraged 
by the establishment of the Office of Quality that will 
hopefully improve access to care and availability of service. 
The Committee directs the Service to establish measurements for 
tracking the improvement of patient health rather than defining 
increased funding alone as the metric for measuring 
improvements.
    The Committee is aware of IHS collaboration with the 
Department of Veterans Affairs and Health Resources and 
Services Administration focused on workforce development and 
physician residency placement. The Committee applauds this 
collaboration and requests quarterly reports on progress to 
bring additional coordinated training opportunities to 
physicians in Tribal communities.
    Public Health Workforce.--The Committee recommends that 
funds provided for supporting public health workforce across 
the agency shall include a distribution among all IHS Service 
Areas not just in areas where BIE schools are present.
    Protecting Patients from Abuse.--The Committee remains 
deeply troubled by past reports of sexual abuse. The Service is 
directed to keep the Committee promptly apprised of any 
investigations into sexual abuse and provide policy 
recommendations for Congress to consider if barriers exist to 
address issues. Further, the Committee directs the Service to 
take immediate action to investigate any abuse allegations and 
take appropriate and prompt disciplinary actions to protect 
patients from harm.
    Staffing for New Facilities.--The bill provides $83,522,000 
for staffing of newly opened health facilities within the 
Services account. The Committee has a longstanding policy of 
providing sufficient staffing funds for all facilities that are 
expected to open during the fiscal year. Funds for staffing of 
new facilities are limited to facilities funded through the 
Health Care Facilities Construction Priority System or the 
Joint Venture Construction Program that have opened in fiscal 
year 2024 or will open in fiscal year 2025. None of these funds 
may be allocated to a facility until such facility has achieved 
beneficial occupancy status. As initial estimates included as 
part of the annual budget request are refined, IHS is expected 
to communicate updated cost estimates to the Committee.
    Hospitals and Health Clinics.--The bill provides 
$2,745,125,000 for Hospitals and Health Clinics, an increase of 
$194,611,000 to the enacted level, which includes an additional 
$21,650,000 for increases to improve patient care, an 
additional $2,000,000 for village built clinics, and an 
additional $1,000,000 to improve maternal health. The bill 
maintains funding at fiscal year 2024 enacted levels for the 
Alzheimer's program and Produce Prescription Pilot program. The 
bill also continues funding at the fiscal year 2024 enacted 
levels for the domestic violence prevention program, 
accreditation emergencies, health information technology, 
healthy lifestyles in youth project, and the National Indian 
Health Board cooperative agreement.
    Community Health Aide Program Expansion.--The Committee 
supports the expansion of the Community Health Aide Program 
[CHAP] in lower-48 States and provides an additional $3,000,000 
for these efforts within the funding provided for Hospitals and 
Health Clinics. This expansion should not divert funding from 
the existing CHAP program in Alaska.
    Village Built Clinics [VBC].--The Committee directs IHS to 
work collaboratively with impacted Tribes and Tribal 
organizations to produce, within 120 days of enactment of this 
act, the data needed to accurately calculate the funding for 
VBC lease funding, including the number of outstanding VBC 
facilities, their current funding levels, and if necessary, any 
additional amounts needed to fully fund the eligible operating 
and ownership costs for all VBC facilities.
    Improving Maternal Health.--The Committee remains concerned 
with the maternal mortality crisis in the United States, which 
is even more acute in Native American communities. American 
Indian and Alaska Native women are two times more likely to die 
of pregnancy-related causes than White women, and 93 percent of 
pregnancy-related deaths among American Indian and Alaska 
Native women are preventable. The Committee recommendation 
supports funding for maternal health initiatives and provides 
an additional $1,000,000 for these efforts as noted above. The 
Committee reminds the IHS of the directive to brief the 
Committee within 90 days of enactment of this act on its plans 
for such funds. Further, the Committee directs IHS to 
coordinate with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 
Health Resources and Services Administration, and Centers for 
Medicare and Medicaid Services to further enhance its maternal 
health initiatives, which should include improved data 
collection to facilitate an agency-wide effort to improve 
outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native women.
    Dental Therapy Education Program.--Within the funds 
provided, funding is maintained at enacted levels for the 
dental health therapy education program that currently trains 
students in Alaska, Washington, Idaho, and Oregon. The 
Committee also directs the Service to continue the cooperative 
agreement with the National Indian Health Board from within 
existing funds.
    Electronic Health Records.--The Committee is aware there is 
a need for a new electronic health record system to improve the 
overall interoperability, efficiency, and security of the 
Service's information technology system and provides 
$203,880,000 for this effort, equal to the enacted level. 
Further, the Committee understands many Tribes recently 
upgraded computer systems for the new Department of Veterans 
Affairs [VA] system, and it is important these systems are 
compatible. It is the Committee's expectation that the Service 
will be able to use the compiled information gathered during 
this recent effort with VA to inform both the Service and the 
Committee on which Tribes use their own system and the 
estimated costs. Finally, the Committee notes that the 
Electronic Health Records is excluded from the advance 
appropriation for fiscal year 2026 as specified in bill 
language.
    Dental Health.--The recommendation includes $267,189,000 
for dental health, an increase of $14,628,000 to the enacted 
level. The Service is encouraged to coordinate with the Bureau 
of Indian Education [BIE] to integrate preventive dental care 
at schools within the BIE system.
    Mental Health.--The recommendation includes $135,287,000 
for mental health programs, an increase of $5,522,000 to the 
enacted level. The bill maintains fiscal year 2024 funding for 
the behavioral health integration initiative to better 
integrate treatment programs for mental health and substance 
abuse problems and for the suicide prevention initiative.
    Alcohol and Substance Abuse.--The recommendation includes 
$273,138,000 for alcohol and substance abuse programs, an 
increase of $6,502,000 to the enacted level. The bill also 
provides $11,000,000 for opioid abuse, described below. The 
bill retains funding provided in previous fiscal years for the 
Generation Indigenous initiative; and for the youth pilot 
project, two important programs to prevent substance abuse. The 
Committee continues bill language that allocates funding for 
essential detoxification and related services provided by the 
Service's public and private partners to IHS beneficiaries. The 
Service shall continue its partnership with Na'Nizhoozhi Center 
in Gallup, New Mexico, and work with the Center and other 
Federal, State, local and Tribal partners to develop a 
sustainable model for clinical capacity, as provided by the 
explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 115-31.
    The Committee is concerned that alcohol and opioid use 
disorders continue to be some of the most severe public health 
and safety problems facing American Indian and Alaska Native 
[AI/AN] individuals, families, and communities. To address this 
problem, the Committee continues to direct IHS to increase its 
support for culturally competent preventive, educational, and 
treatment services programs and to partner with academic 
institutions with established AI/AN training and health 
professions programs to research and promote culturally 
responsive care. Additionally, the Committee encourages the 
Service to employ the full spectrum of medication assisted 
treatments [MAT] for alcohol and opioid use disorders, 
including non-narcotic treatment options that are less subject 
to diversion combined with counseling services.
    Opioid Grants.--To better combat the opioid epidemic, the 
recommendation includes fiscal year 2024 enacted funding to 
continue a Special Behavioral Health Pilot Program, as 
authorized by Public Law 116-6. The Director of IHS, in 
coordination with the Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and 
Substance Abuse, shall award grants for providing services, 
provide technical assistance to grantees under this section, 
and evaluate performance of the program. Further, the Committee 
has heard from Tribes that assistance should not only focus on 
opioids, and therefore urges IHS to examine whether grant funds 
should be made available to address all types of drug abuse.
    Purchased/Referred Care.--The recommendation includes 
$1,005,356,000 for purchased/referred care, an increase of 
$8,601,000 above the enacted level. The Committee directs IHS 
to examine the policies for the Purchased/Referred Care Program 
and work to better facilitate reimbursement of authorized 
travel to be used for more than one medical procedure or visit 
during the time that a patient is scheduled for such healthcare 
treatment.
    Within the funding increase provided for Purchased/Referred 
care, the Service shall consider providing support for the 
delivery of health care services for the United Keetoowah Band 
of Cherokee Indians of Oklahoma, as requested.
    Indian Health Care Improvement Fund.--The recommendation 
includes $74,138,000 in funding for the Indian Health Care 
Improvement Fund. The recommendation maintains the funding in 
its enacted appropriations location, and does not consolidate 
it into the Hospitals and Health Clinics line. Furthermore, the 
Committee notes the Indian Health Care Improvement Fund is not 
included in the fiscal year 2026 advance appropriation as 
specified in bill language.
    Public Health Nursing.--The recommendation includes 
$118,588,000 for public health nursing, an increase of 
$6,554,000 to the enacted level.
    Health Education.--The recommendation includes $25,253,000 
for health education, an increase of $836,000 to the enacted 
level.
    Urban Indian Health.--The recommendation includes 
$94,573,000 for the Urban Indian Health program, an increase of 
$4,154,000 to the enacted level. The Committee is committed to 
improving the health and well-being of AI/AN living in urban 
Indian communities. Despite the excellent efforts of Urban 
Indian Organizations, AI/AN populations continue to be left out 
of many Federal initiatives. Therefore, the Committee reminds 
the IHS of the directive to explore the formation of an 
interagency working group to identify existing Federal funding 
supporting Urban Indian Organizations [UIOs] and determine 
where increases are needed, or what programs should be amended 
to allow for greater access by UIOs; to develop a Federal 
funding strategy to build out and coordinate the infrastructure 
necessary to pilot and scale innovative programs that address 
the needs and aspirations of urban AI/ANs in a holistic manner; 
develop a wellness centered framework to inform health 
services; and meet quarterly with UIOs to address other 
relevant issues. In addition to the Indian Health Service, the 
working group should consist of the U.S. Department of Health 
and Human Services, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of 
Justice, U.S. Department of Education, U.S. Department of 
Veteran Affairs, U.S. Department of Labor, the Small Business 
Administration, the Economic Development Agency, FEMA, the U.S. 
Conference of Mayors, and others as identified by UIOs.
    Direct Operations.--The bill provides $106,730,000 for 
Direct Operations, an increase of $2,925,000 to the enacted 
level.
    Continued Directives.--The Committee continues the 
directions contained in Public Law 116-260, Consolidated 
Appropriations Act 2021, regarding the dental health therapist 
training program and first-aid kit enhancements.
    Indian Health Professions.--The recommendation includes 
$84,192,000 for the Indian Health Professions program, an 
increase of $3,624,000 to the enacted level. The Committee 
believes this is a critical program and expects this increase 
will allow the Indians into Medicine program to expand to four 
sites. Within funds, the recommendation also includes funding 
for the Quentin N. Burdick American Indians into Nursing 
Program, and American Indians into Psychology Program at no 
less than the enacted levels.

                         CONTRACT SUPPORT COSTS

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $1,051,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   2,036,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,036,000,000

    The Committee has continued language from fiscal year 2021 
establishing an indefinite appropriation for contract support 
costs estimated to be $2,036,000,000 in fiscal year 2025. By 
retaining an indefinite appropriation for this account, 
additional funds may be provided by the Agency if its budget 
estimate proves to be lower than necessary to meet the legal 
obligation to pay the full amount due to Tribes. The Committee 
believes that fully funding these costs will ensure Tribes have 
the resources they need to deliver program services efficiently 
and effectively.

                       PAYMENTS FOR TRIBAL LEASES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $149,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     400,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     400,000,000

    The recommendation includes an indefinite appropriation of 
an estimated $400,000,000 for the compensation of operating 
costs associated with facilities leased or owned by Tribes and 
Tribal organizations for carrying out health programs under 
ISDEAA contracts and compacts as required by 25 U.S.C. 5324(l).

                        INDIAN HEALTH FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $813,183,000
Advance appropriations, 2025............................    $506,854,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     993,825,000
Committee recommendation, new appropriations, 2025......     384,740,000
Committee recommendation, total resources available, 
    2025................................................     891,594,000
Budget estimate, advance appropriations, 2026...........     993,825,000
Committee recommendation, advance appropriations, 2026..     523,744,000

    The Committee recommends $891,594,000 in total resources 
for fiscal year 2025 for health facilities operations of the 
IHS. This amount is $78,411,000 above the enacted level. The 
Committee recommendation also provides $523,744,000 in advance 
appropriations for the account for fiscal year 2026, equal to 
the Fiscal Year 2025 Committee recommendation with the 
exception of funding provided for Sanitation Facilities 
Construction, and Health Care Facilities Construction which are 
provided only an annual appropriation in recognition of the 
project-based nature of those accounts. All programs, projects, 
and activities are maintained at fiscal year 2024 enacted 
levels unless otherwise specified. The following direction 
relates to fiscal year 2025 funding. The bill provides 
$5,143,000 for pay costs within current services, as requested.
    Staffing for New Facilities.--The bill provides $7,856,000 
for staffing of newly opened health facilities within the 
Facilities account.
    Maintenance & Improvement.--The recommendation includes 
$170,595,000 for Maintenance and Improvement, equal to the 
enacted level.
    Sanitation Facilities Construction.--The recommendation 
includes $145,171,000 for Sanitation Facilities Construction 
activities, an increase of $21,521,000 to the enacted level. 
The bill provides $10,806,000 for Congressionally Directed 
Spending [CDS] projects in this program. A detailed list of 
projects is included in the ``Congressionally Directed 
Spending'' table accompanying this report.
    Health Care Facilities Construction.--The recommendation 
includes $222,679,000 for Health Care Facilities Construction, 
an increase of $40,000,000 to the enacted level. The Service is 
encouraged to incorporate green infrastructure and renewable 
energy in planning, design, and operations of buildings to 
reduce costs and minimize environmental impacts to the maximum 
extent practicable. Of the funds provided, fiscal year 2024 
funding is maintained for the small ambulatory clinic program.
    Equipment.--The recommendation includes $32,598,000 for 
medical equipment upgrades and replacement, equal to the 
enacted level.
    Facilities & Environmental Health Support.--The 
recommendation includes $320,551,000 for Facilities & 
Environmental Health Support, an increase of $16,890,000 above 
the enacted level. The health impacts of a lack of sanitation 
infrastructure remain a public health crisis in Indian Country. 
The Committee is concerned that delayed decisionmaking is 
jeopardizing these projects and directs the Service to brief 
the Committee within 60 days of enactment of this act on the 
status of discussions with other Federal partners involved to 
ensure funding is coordinated and projects are completed. 
Within the funds provided for facilities and environmental 
health support projects, fiscal year 2024 funding is maintained 
for preliminary engineering reports and provides funding for 
the certification training that was transferred to this budget 
line in fiscal year 2023 as requested.
    An additional increase of $1,400,000 is included to augment 
the Service's efforts to increase the number of Alaska Native 
Communities enrolled in programs that assist communities and 
their utility systems in building self-sustaining operations 
and maintenance systems for new piped water and sanitation 
systems.
    Housing Quarters.--The Committee believes that funds for 
housing quarters is essential to help resolve the widespread 
housing shortages, which have contributed to high vacancy rates 
for medical personnel throughout the system, particularly in 
rural areas. These funds have been used in areas with chronic 
housing shortages, such as Alaska and the Great Plains, in 
order to ameliorate these problems. The Committee expects a 
report from the Service within 60 days of enactment of this act 
on the distribution of funds.
    Health Facilities Requirements in Alaska.--The Committee 
continues the directive for the Service to work with 
appropriate Tribal organizations and submit a report to the 
Committees within 1 year of enactment that includes an 
assessment of updated facilities needs in the State of Alaska 
as well as recommendations for alternative financing options 
which could address the need for additional healthcare 
facilities space suitable to meet the current and future 
healthcare needs of IHS beneficiaries in the State. 
Additionally, within 30 days of enactment of this act, the 
Service is directed to provide the Committee with a briefing 
detailing why this directive has not been previously met, 
despite inclusion in previous fiscal years.

                        Smithsonian Institution

    Congress established the Smithsonian Institution in 1846 to 
administer a large bequest left to the United States by James 
Smithson, an English scientist, for the purpose of establishing 
in Washington, D.C., an institution ``for the increase and 
diffusion of knowledge among men.'' The act establishing the 
Smithsonian provided for the administration of the trust, 
independent of the Government itself, by a Board of Regents and 
a Secretary, who were given broad discretion in the use of 
these funds. The board was to be composed of both private 
citizens and members of all three branches of the Federal 
Government in order to ensure ``the wise and faithful use'' of 
the Institution's funds. The trust funds were permanently 
loaned to the U.S. Department of the Treasury to be maintained 
in a separate account, with the interest from that money used 
for the operation of the Institution. Construction of the 
Smithsonian Castle was completed in 1855 and collections that 
the Government had accepted on behalf of the Institution were 
moved into the building. Today, the Smithsonian Institution is 
the world's largest museum and research complex, housing 
approximately 157 million objects and specimens and receiving 
an estimated 17 million visitors annually.
    The Smithsonian Institution's facilities include 19 museums 
and galleries, the National Zoo, and nine research facilities, 
most located in or near Washington, DC, with others in 
Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Arizona, Hawaii, and the 
Republic of Panama.

    Smithsonian American Women's History Museum.--Public Law 
116-260, enacted on December 27, 2020, established the 
Smithsonian American Women's History Museum [SAWHM] within the 
Smithsonian Institution. Women have made invaluable 
contributions to our country across such diverse fields as 
government, business, medicine, law, literature, sports, 
entertainment, the arts, and the military, and the SAWHM will 
be the first comprehensive museum anywhere in the United States 
dedicated to the full story of women's history. This 
comprehensive museum will document the spectrum of the 
experiences of women in the United States, represent a diverse 
range of viewpoints, experiences, and backgrounds, more 
accurately depict the history of the United States, and add 
value to the Smithsonian Institution for the American people.
    Funding will support continued activities including: 
recruitment and selection of additional personnel, including 
human resources activities; formation of planning and 
coordination teams to develop exhibitions, public programs, 
education, research, collections acquisition, technology, and 
capital fundraising; and developing administrative operations. 
The Committee looks forward to continuing to support the 
development of the SAWHM as detailed plans for siting, design, 
construction, operations, and private fundraising become 
available for review.
    National Museum of the American Latino.--Public Law 116-
260, enacted on December 27, 2020, established the National 
Museum of the American Latino [NMAL] within the Smithsonian 
Institution. The mission of the NMAL is to give voice to both 
the richness and the challenges of the Latino American 
experience, to make it possible for all people to understand 
the depth, complexity, and promise of the American experience, 
and to serve as a national forum for collaboration and 
celebration of Latino American history and culture. The NMAL 
will be the keystone for people in the United States and 
visitors worldwide to learn about Latino contributions to life, 
art, history, and culture in the United States and will serve 
as a gateway for visitors to view Latino exhibitions, 
collections, and programming at other Smithsonian Institution 
facilities and museums throughout the United States.
    Funding will support continued activities including: 
recruitment and selection of additional personnel, including 
human resources activities; formation of planning and 
coordination teams to develop exhibitions, public programs, 
education, research, collections acquisition, technology, and 
capital fundraising; and developing administrative operations. 
The Committee looks forward to continuing to support the 
development of the NMAL as detailed plans for siting, design, 
construction, operations, and private fundraising become 
available for review.
    Repressed Cultures Preservation.--Global conflicts and 
repressive regimes continue to threaten cultural and linguistic 
heritage across the world. The Committee finds that, in 
particular, groups facing threats from repression by the 
Chinese government have an especially acute need for their 
cultural heritage to be presented in an accurate, culturally 
sensitive manner. The Committee appreciates the ongoing and 
longstanding in-person and digital efforts the Smithsonian has 
made to preserve aspects of threatened cultures that, once 
lost, cannot be restored. For example, through the 
Smithsonian's ``Recovering Voices'' program, Smithsonian 
scientists, curators, conservators, and archivists work with 
communities to promote global cultural diversity and preserve 
endangered languages through work at international sites as 
well as programming in Washington, DC. These have included the 
2013 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, One World, Many Voices, the 
ongoing National Breath of Life Archival Institute for 
Indigenous Languages, and the Community Research Grants 
program. The Committee continues to support the Smithsonian's 
work in this area, including preservation efforts as well as 
research, exhibitions and education programming. Within 90 days 
of enactment of this act, the Smithsonian is directed to brief 
the Committee on its plans for such activities for fiscal year 
2025.
    Repatriation of Human Remains.--The Committee notes that 
since the passage of the National Museum of American Indian Act 
(Public Law 101-185) in 1989, the Smithsonian Institution has 
repatriated the remains of approximately 5,000 Indigenous 
people. The Committee appreciates the commitment the 
Smithsonian Institution has made to repatriation activities, 
including the establishment of a taskforce to develop a formal 
policy for handling all human remains. The Committee directs 
the Smithsonian to act with urgency in prioritizing 
repatriation activities for Indian Tribes, as governed by the 
Act, and in developing ways to improve the repatriation 
policies within Smithsonian Institutions.
    First Americans Museum.--The Committee is aware of the 
agreement between the First Americans Museum and the 
Smithsonian National Museum of American Indian to advance the 
reunification, maintenance, education, research, and exhibition 
of objects from Tribal descendants and Tribal nations to 
enhance access to historical and cultural resources to benefit 
the public. Within 90 days of enactment of this act, the 
Institution is instructed to brief the Committee on the status 
of the agreement.

    The bill includes $197,645,000 for the Smithsonian 
Institution's Facilities Capital program, which is equal to the 
enacted level and $2,355,000 less than the budget request. 
Funding provided supports the revitalization and construction 
projects identified by the Smithsonian Institution as the 
highest priority.
    Funding is included in accordance with the request for the 
Smithsonian Institution's share of the design and construction 
of an off-site storage facility that will be built and utilized 
in partnership with the National Gallery of Art. A recent 
evaluation found that almost 50 percent of existing storage 
space is unacceptable for collections storage and that much of 
the space does not meet current building code requirements for 
structural support, is compromised by hazardous materials, and 
does not provide the proper environmental conditions to 
adequately preserve the Nation's priceless artifacts stored 
there. The new shared facility will address the preservation 
and storage needs of both the Smithsonian Institution and the 
National Gallery of Art at a significantly lower cost than two 
independent facilities. The bill provides authority for the 
National Gallery of Art to transfer funds to the Smithsonian 
Institution to enable this shared effort.

                        National Gallery of Art

    The National Gallery of Art was created in 1937 by a joint 
resolution of Congress accepting Andrew W. Mellon's gift to the 
Nation of his art collection. The generosity of the Mellon 
family also provided the funds to construct the Gallery's two 
landmark buildings, the West Building, designed by Alexander 
Pope and completed in 1941, and the East Building, designed by 
I.M. Pei and completed in 1978. In 1999, an outdoor sculpture 
garden was created with funding from the Cafritz Foundation. 
Today, these two buildings and the Sculpture Garden form a 
museum complex that houses one of the world's premier art 
collections. Since the Gallery's founding, Federal funds have 
been appropriated to ensure the operation, maintenance, 
protection, and care of its collection. Private contributions 
are used by the Gallery for art acquisition and conservation, 
scholarly and scientific research, exhibitions, and educational 
outreach programs.

             John F. Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts

    Originally established in 1958 as the National Cultural 
Center, an independently administered bureau of the Smithsonian 
Institution, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts 
was designated as a living memorial to President Kennedy in 
1964. The Kennedy Center building was constructed with a 
combination of private contributions, Federal matching funds, 
and long-term revenue bonds held by the U.S. Department of the 
Treasury. Since 1972, Congress has provided funds for the 
operations and repair of the presidential monument, initially 
through the National Park Service and since 1995 to the Kennedy 
Center Board of Trustees. Approximately 87 percent of the 
Center's total annual operating budget is derived from non-

Budget estimate, 2025...................................     200,100,000
Committee recommendation................................     209,000,000

    The bill provides $209,000,000 for grants and 
administration of the National Endowment for the Humanities, 
$2,000,000 above the enacted level and $8,900,000 above the 
budget request. The Committee maintains fiscal year 2024 
enacted funding at $7,000,000 for Special Initiatives for the 
Endowment, including the ``A More Perfect Union'' initiative. 
The Committee supports the ``We the People'' initiative which 
encourages a better understanding of the history of our country 
and the democratic principles upon which it was founded, by 
supporting grants for the teaching and study of American 
history. The Committee encourages the NEH to incorporate and 
continue the two popular components of the former ``We the 
People'' initiative grant opportunities, the National Digital 
Newspapers Program, and the Landmarks of American History and 
Culture workshops as part of the initiative or with other 
funds.
    The Committee supports the Documenting Endangered Languages 
initiative and NEH's partnership with the National Science 
Foundation [NSF] to develop and advance knowledge concerning 
endangered human languages, and is especially concerned with 
the linguistic threats faced by ethnic and religious minorities 
in Central and East Asia, including the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and 
Mongolians.
    The mission of the NEH is to aid the American People in the 
examination of the human condition, to understand our cultural 
heritage, to foster mutual respect for diverse beliefs and 
cultures, to develop media and information literacy, and to 
promote civic engagement. In order to advance racial equity, 
the Committee directs that NEH continue to develop an Office of 
Outreach whose mission will be to enhance the agency's efforts 
on behalf of underserved communities and institutions, such as 
Tribal Nations, Historically Black Colleges and Universities 
[HBCUs], Hispanic Serving Institutions [HSIs], Tribal Colleges 
and Universities [TCUs], veterans, community colleges, and 
others. The Committee also welcomes the establishment of a 
Chief Diversity Officer to serve within the office of the 
Chairperson, to oversee efforts to improve diversity, equity, 
and inclusion, and to create better access within NEH's 
programs, operations, outreach and communications, human 
capital, and research and analysis. Further, the Committee 
encourages NEH to provide support for projects that illustrate 
the transformative role of women in American history, such as 
Katherine Johnson and Amelia Earhart, to educate and inspire 
the next generation of women leaders and professionals in 
fields such as aviation, advanced computer technologies and the 
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) disciplines.
    The distribution of funds among the agency's various 
activities is displayed in the table that accompanies this 
report.

                        Commission of Fine Arts

    The Commission of Fine Arts was established in 1910 to fill 
the need for a permanent agency whose members would be 
qualified to make available to the Government expert opinion on 
questions of art and architecture. The Commission's mission, as 
design proposals are brought before it, is to safeguard and 
improve the appearance and symbolic significance of the city as 
a capital. The Commission provides knowledgeable advice on 
matters pertaining to architecture, landscape architecture, 
sculpture, painting, and the decorative arts to all branches 
and departments of the Federal and District of Columbia 
governments when such matters affect the National Capital. The 
Commission also must approve of the site and design of all 
commemorative works and memorials erected in the District. The 
Commission advises on the design of circulating and 
commemorative coinage and must approve the siting and design 
for national memorials, both in the United States and on 
foreign soil, in accordance with the American Battle Monuments 
Act and the Commemorative Works Act (Public Law 106-214).

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $3,661,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................       3,857,000

    The bill provides $3,834,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the Commission of Fine Arts, $173,000 above the enacted level 
and $23,000 below the request.

               NATIONAL CAPITAL ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS

    The National Capital Arts and Cultural Affairs program was 
established by Public Law 99-190 to provide grants for general 
operating support to District of Columbia nonprofit arts and 
other cultural organizations. In fiscal year 1988, 
administrative responsibility for the program was transferred 
from the National Endowment for the Humanities to the 
Commission of Fine Arts. Currently, this program helps support 
more than 20 nationally renowned organizations in the Nation's 
Capital by providing funding for operating expenses, jobs, 
exhibits, and performances that might not have been possible 
otherwise.

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $5,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................       5,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       5,000,000

    The bill provides $5,000,000 for the National Capital Arts 
and Cultural Affairs program administered by the Commission of 
Fine Arts, equal to the enacted level and to the request.

               Advisory Council on Historic Preservation

    The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Public Law 
89-665) established the Advisory Council on Historic 
Preservation as an independent Federal agency. The Council's 
mission is to promote the preservation, enhancement, and 
productive use of our Nation's historic resources, and to 
advise the President and Congress on national historic 
preservation policy. It also provides a forum for discussion of 
Federal activities, programs, and policies that affect historic 
properties. One of the principal responsibilities of the 
Council is to implement section 106 of the National Historic 
Preservation Act (Public Law 89-665), which requires that the 
Council be given an opportunity to comment on the impacts of 
projects or actions undertaken by other Federal agencies on 
sites or structures eligible for inclusion in the National 
Register of Historic Places.

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $8,585,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................       9,554,000
Committee recommendation................................       8,735,000

    The bill provides $8,735,000 for the Advisory Council on 
Historic Preservation, an increase of $150,000 to the enacted 
level and $819,000 less than the request. The Council's 
responsibility to assist Tribes and Native Hawaiian 
Organizations with the National Historic Preservation Act's 
Section 106 process, which requires Federal agencies to 
consider the effects of their projects on historic properties, 
is a critical opportunity for these communities to provide 
input about how Federal projects might affect historic, 
culturally significant sites.
    The Committee notes that recent major Federal investments 
in transportation, energy, telecommunications, water, and other 
infrastructure have resulted in a sharp increase in Section 106 
reviews, which are required under the National Historic 
Preservation Act. As a result, State Historic Preservation 
Offices [SHPOs], Tribal Historic Preservation Offices [THPOs], 
and Indian Tribes have seen their workloads increase 
significantly over the past several years. The Committee 
recognizes the value of close partnership and coordination 
between SHPOs, THPOs, and Tribes, and encourages increased 
opportunities for SHPOs, THPOs, and Tribes to share best 
practices. The Committee directs the Council to report to the 
Committee within 90 days of enactment of this act describing, 
with examples, the magnitude of the increased workloads and the 
impacts on SHPOs and THPOs.

                  National Capital Planning Commission

    The National Capital Planning Commission [NCPC] was 
established in 1924 as a park planning agency. Two years later, 
the agency's role was expanded to include more comprehensive 
planning. The National Capital Planning Act of 1952 (Public Law 
592) designated the NCPC as the central planning agency for the 
Federal Government in the National Capital Region. Today, major 
functions and responsibilities of the NCPC include 
comprehensive and coordinated planning for the Nation's 
Capital; an annual assessment of all proposed Federal capital 
improvements in the National Capital region; the review of 
proposed Federal development projects; and representation of 
the Federal interest in local and regional planning 
initiatives.

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $8,750,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................       8,849,000

    The bill provides $8,849,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the National Capital Planning Commission, an increase of 
$99,000 to the enacted level and equal to the request.

                United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

    The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum was created by 
Congress in 1980 through Public Law 96-388 with the mandate to 
operate and maintain a permanent living memorial museum to the 
victims of the Holocaust; provide appropriate ways for the 
Nation to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust through the 
annual national civic observances known as the Days of 
Remembrance; and carry out the recommendations of the 
President's Commission on the Holocaust. The building that 
houses the museum was constructed with private funds and opened 
to the public in 1993. Since that time, the museum has 
attracted four to five times the number of expected visitors 
and has been highly successful in its fundraising efforts. With 
private contributions comprising nearly 50 percent of its 
annual operating budget, the Holocaust Memorial Museum serves 
as a model for the public-private partnership.

                       HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL MUSEUM

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $65,231,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      74,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      66,331,000

    The bill provides $66,331,000 for operations of the United 
States Holocaust Memorial Museum, an increase of $1,100,000 to 
the enacted level and $7,669,000 less than the request. The 
Committee continues not less than $2,000,000 for implementation 
of the Never Again Education Act (Public Law 116-141) in order 
to support and strengthen Holocaust education programs.

                             Presidio Trust

    The bill provides $45,000,000 for the Presidio Trust, 
$45,000,000 below the enacted level and equal to the request.

              United States Semiquincentennial Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $15,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     100,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      15,250,000

    The bill provides $15,250,000 for salaries and expenses of 
the United States Semiquincentennial Commission, $250,000 more 
than the enacted level and $84,750,000 less than the request. 
The Committee looks forward to celebrations commemorating the 
Nation's 250th anniversary in 2026 and continues to support the 
mission of the Semiquincentennial Commission. The Committee 
notes that a total of $49,300,000 has been appropriated for the 
Commission since fiscal year 2020. The Committee continues to 
find that, like other federally-funded entities, independent 
Federal oversight of the Commission is warranted.

         DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS

    The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the 
purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should 
make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money. As 
defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the 
term ``congressionally directed spending item'' means a 
provision or report language included primarily at the request 
of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a 
specific amount of 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.senate.gov/
congressionally-directed-spending-requests). Following is a 
list of congressionally directed spending items included in the 
Senate recommendation discussed in this report along with the 
name of each Senator who submitted a request to the Committee 
of jurisdiction for each item so identified. Neither the 
Committee recommendation nor this report contains any limited 
tax benefits or limited tariff benefits as defined in rule 
XLIV.
