                    OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF THE BILL

    The Financial Services and General Government 
appropriations bill provides funding for the Department of the 
Treasury, including the Internal Revenue Service; the Executive 
Office of the President; the Judiciary; the District of 
Columbia; and more than two dozen independent Federal agencies.
    The Committee recommends $21,737,000,000 in gross 
discretionary appropriations, including $492,000,000 for the 
Small Business Administration Disaster Loans Program Account 
designated by Congress as disaster relief pursuant to Public 
Law 112-25 and $70,000,000 in emergency funds.

                     PROGRAM, PROJECT, AND ACTIVITY

    During fiscal year 2025, for the purposes of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 
99-177), as amended, with respect to appropriations contained 
in the accompanying bill, the terms ``program, project, and 
activity'' [PPA] shall mean any item for which a dollar amount 
is contained in appropriations acts (including joint 
resolutions providing continuing appropriations) or 
accompanying reports of the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations, or accompanying conference reports and joint 
explanatory statements of the committee of conference.

                        REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

    The Committee includes a provision (section 608) 
establishing the authority of agencies to reprogram funds and 
the limitation on that authority. The provision specifically 
requires the advance approval of the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations of any proposal to reprogram funds 
that: (1) creates a new program; (2) eliminates a program, 
project, or activity; (3) increases funds or personnel for any 
PPA for which funds have been denied or restricted by the 
Congress; (4) proposes to redirect funds that were directed in 
such reports for a specific activity to a different purpose; 
(5) augments an existing PPA in excess of $5,000,000 or 10 
percent, whichever is less; (6) reduces an existing PPA by 
$5,000,000 or 10 percent, whichever is less; or (7) creates, 
reorganizes, or restructures offices differently than the 
congressional budget justifications or the table at the end of 
the Committee report, whichever is more detailed.
    The Committee retains the requirement that each agency 
submit an operating plan to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations not later than 60 days after enactment of this 
act to establish the baseline for application of reprogramming 
and transfer authorities provided in this act. Specifically, 
each agency should provide a table for each appropriation with 
columns displaying the budget request; adjustments made by 
Congress; adjustments for rescissions, if appropriate; and the 
fiscal year enacted level. The table shall delineate the 
appropriation both by object class and by PPA. The report must 
also identify items of special congressional interest.
    The Committee expects the agencies and bureaus to submit 
reprogramming requests in a timely manner and to provide a 
thorough explanation of the proposed reallocations, including a 
detailed justification of increases and reductions and the 
specific impact the proposed changes will have on the budget 
request for the following fiscal year. Except in emergency 
situations, reprogramming requests should be submitted no later 
than June 30.
    The Committee expects each agency to manage the 
expenditures of its programs and activities to remain within 
the amounts appropriated by Congress. The Committee reminds 
agencies that reprogramming requests should be submitted only 
in the case of an unforeseeable emergency or a situation that 
could not have been anticipated when formulating the budget 
request for the current fiscal year. Further, the Committee 
notes that when a department or agency submits a reprogramming 
or transfer request to the Committees on Appropriations and 
does not receive identical responses from the House and the 
Senate, it is the responsibility of the department or agency to 
reconcile the House and the Senate differences before 
proceeding, and if reconciliation is not possible, to consider 
the request to reprogram funds unapproved. The Committee 
reminds agencies that funds made available under section 609 of 
this Act are best used for one-time expenses.

                      QUARTERLY OBLIGATION REPORTS

    Section 633 of the bill directs that no later than 45 days 
after the last day of each quarter, each agency funded in this 
act shall submit a report to the Committee that includes total 
obligations of the Agency for that quarter for each 
appropriation. That table should also include total budget 
authority for each appropriation and cumulative outlays to 
date. The table should also include obligation data for funds 
received by each agency the public laws listed under Quarterly 
Obligation Reports in the Explanatory Statement of division B 
of the FY2024 Further Consolidated Appropriations Act.

                    RELATIONSHIP WITH BUDGET OFFICES

    Through the years, the Committee has channeled most of its 
inquiries and requests for information and assistance through 
the budget offices of the various departments, agencies, 
offices, and commissions. The Committee has often pointed to 
the natural affinity and relationship between the budget 
offices and the Committee which makes such a relationship 
workable. The Committee reiterates its longstanding position 
that while the Committee reserves the right to call upon any 
office or officer in the departments, agencies, and 
commissions, the primary conjunction between the Committee and 
these entities must be through the budget offices. To help 
ensure the Committee's ability to perform its responsibilities, 
the Committee insists on having direct, unobstructed, and 
timely access to the budget offices and expects to be able to 
receive forthright and complete responses from those offices 
and their employees.
    The Committee expects timely agency compliance with 
mandated reporting requirements. The Committee directs all 
agencies from which reports are required to allow sufficient 
time to secure any necessary internal and external clearances 
of reports in order to satisfy congressional deadlines. The 
Committee strongly urges agencies to alert the Committee as far 
as possible in advance of any expected slippage in meeting a 
report delivery due date.

                  CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS

    Budget justifications are prepared not for the use of the 
agency, but instead are the primary tool used by the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations to evaluate the resource 
requirements and fiscal needs of agencies. The Committee is 
aware that the format and presentation of budget materials is 
largely left to the agency within presentation objectives set 
forth by the Office of Management and Budget. However, the 
Committee expects agencies to consult with the Committees on 
Appropriations in advance regarding any plans to modify the 
format of agency budget documents to ensure that the data 
needed to make appropriate and meaningful funding decisions is 
provided.
    The Committee directs that justifications submitted with 
the fiscal year 2026 budget requests by agencies funded under 
this act must contain the customary level of detailed data and 
explanatory statements to support the appropriations requests 
at the level of detail contained in the funding table included 
at the end of the report. Among other items, agencies shall 
provide a detailed discussion of proposed new initiatives, 
proposed changes in the agency's financial plan from prior year 
enactment, and detailed data on all programs and comprehensive 
information on any office or agency restructurings. At a 
minimum, each agency must also provide adequate justification 
for funding and staffing changes for each individual office. 
Explanatory materials should compare programs, projects, and 
activities that are proposed for fiscal year 2026 to the fiscal 
year 2025 enacted level.
    The Committee is aware that the analytical materials 
required for review by the Committee are unique to each agency 
in this act. Therefore, the Committee expects that each agency 
will coordinate with the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations in advance regarding the planned presentation 
for its budget justification materials in support of the fiscal 
year 2026 budget request.

                             AGENCY REPORTS

    As a measure to reduce costs and conserve paper, the 
Committee reminds agencies funded by this act that currently 
provide separate copies of periodic reports (such as 
Performance and Accountability Reports) and correspondence to 
the chairs of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees 
and Subcommittees on Financial Services and General Government, 
and also to the ranking members of the committees and 
subcommittees, to use a single cover letter jointly addressed 
to the chairs and ranking members of the Committee and 
subcommittee of both the House and the Senate. To the greatest 
extent feasible, agencies should include in the cover letter a 
reference or hyperlink to facilitate electronic access to the 
report and provide the documents by electronic mail delivery. 
Consolidating addressees and remitting a copy of the letter and 
attachments to each recipient should expedite agency 
processing. This should also help ensure that consistent 
information is conveyed concurrently to the majority and 
minority committee offices of both chambers of Congress.

                     ANTIDEFICIENCY ACT VIOLATIONS

    The Antideficiency Act is a cornerstone of Federal fiscal 
law. It forbids agencies from exceeding an appropriation, 
apportionment, or allotment; from obligating funds before 
Congress has appropriated them; and from accepting voluntary 
services or employing personal services exceeding those 
authorized by law. These prohibitions ensure that agencies 
operate within amounts that Congress has appropriated and, 
therefore, that agency activities are carried out in accordance 
with the will of the people as expressed through Congress.
    The Antideficiency Act requires agencies to immediately 
report violations of the act to Congress and to the President 
and to transmit a copy of each report to the Comptroller 
General. These reports must include all relevant facts 
pertaining to the violation and a Statement of action taken. 
These reports provide information essential to the Committee as 
it performs oversight and as it considers agency funding 
levels. Therefore, the Committee directs any agency funded by 
this act to concurrently transmit to the Subcommittee on 
Financial Services and General Government a copy of any 
Antideficiency Act violation report submitted pursuant to 31 
U.S.C. 1351 or 31 U.S.C. 1517(b).

                       DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

                          Departmental Offices

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $287,576,000

Committee recommendation................................     312,294,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Secretary of the Treasury has the primary role in 
formulating and managing the domestic and international tax and 
financial policies of the Federal Government. The Secretary's 
responsibilities funded by the Departmental Offices [DO] 
Salaries and Expenses appropriation include: recommending and 
implementing U.S. domestic and international economic and tax 
policy; formulating fiscal policy; governing the fiscal 
operations of the Government; managing the public debt; 
managing international development policy; representing the 
United States on international monetary, trade, and investment 
issues; overseeing Department of the Treasury overseas 
operations; and directing the administrative operations of the 
Department of the Treasury. The majority of the Salaries and 
Expenses appropriation provides resources for policy 
formulation and implementation in the areas of domestic and 
international finance, tax, economic, trade, financial 
operations and general fiscal policy. This appropriation also 
provides resources to support the Secretary, policy components, 
and departmental administrative policies in financial and 
personnel management, procurement operations, and information 
systems and telecommunications.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $312,294,000 for the Departmental 
Offices account of the Department of the Treasury for fiscal 
year 2025.
    Financial Inclusion.--The Committee commends the Department 
for its work to respond to the directive that it develop a 
strategy to improve financial inclusion, which was included in 
the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the Financial 
Services and General Government Appropriations Act, 2023. The 
Department presented to the Committee a detailed strategic 
framework to improve financial inclusion and facilitate broader 
access to safe and useful financial products and services among 
underserved communities. The Committee encourages the 
Department to continue its efforts to establish national 
objectives for financial inclusion, set benchmarks for 
measuring progress, and offer recommendations for advancing 
financial inclusion to ensure that all Americans are able to 
access the financial products and services they need to achieve 
their financial goals. Funds are included for development and 
implementation of the Treasury Department's national strategy 
for financial inclusion.
    Harriet Tubman.--The Committee expects the Secretary of the 
Treasury to continue the process that is underway to place the 
likeness of Harriet Tubman prominently on the $20 bill. The 
Committee directs the Secretary to provide periodic updates to 
the Committee on implementation of this change, which was made 
in response to a grassroots campaign and significant input from 
the public.
    E-mail Compromise Fraud.--The Committee continues to be 
concerned about e-mail fraud schemes in real estate in which 
the email accounts of victims are compromised to send 
fraudulent wire transfer instructions to financial institutions 
in order to misappropriate funds or to assist in financial 
fraud. The Committee directs the Department to submit a report 
no later than 90 days after enactment of this act, describing 
its ongoing activities to both combat and raise awareness of 
wire fraud in real estate transactions and email compromise 
scams. Additionally, the report should detail any joint 
activities to counter such fraud that the Department conducts 
with relevant Federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation and the Department of Justice.
    Treasury Forfeiture Fund.--The Department is directed to 
submit to the Committee a detailed table not later than 20 days 
after the last day of each month on the interest earned, 
forfeiture revenue collected, unobligated balances, recoveries, 
expenses to date, and expenses estimated for the remainder of 
the fiscal year.
    Outbound Investment Screening Mechanism.--The Committee 
supports Treasury's implementation and administration of an 
outbound investment mechanism in consultation with the 
Department of Commerce and other departments and agencies.
    Inbound Investment Screening Mechanism.--The Committee 
encourages the Secretary of the Treasury to consider enhancing 
its inbound investment screening mechanism, and directs the 
Department to provide a briefing to the Committee on any 
efforts no later than 180 days after enactment of this act.
    New Market Tax Credit Native Area.--The Committee 
recognizes the need to increase investments in Native 
communities through the New Market Tax Credit Program [NMTC 
Program], and directs the Secretary to work closely with 
Congress to ensure the following communities are able to fully 
participate in the NMTC Program: Tribal lands, including trust, 
restricted fee, and reservation lands, off-reservation trust 
lands, Alaska Native lands selected pursuant to the Alaska 
Native Claims Settlement Act, Alaska Native Village Statistical 
Areas, and Hawaiian Home Lands.
    SECURE 2.0.--The Committee notes that funds may be made 
available for activities necessary to carry out SECURE 2.0, 
specifically as it relates to the Saver's Match and directs the 
Department to provide a briefing no later than 90 days after 
enactment of this act on the implementation planning for the 
program.
    Office of Tribal and Native Affairs.--The Committee 
commends the Department for acting on Congressional 
recommendations to establish the Office of Tribal and Native 
Affairs to enhance the Department's outreach and capacity to 
respond to the needs of Tribal and other Native communities. 
Given the tremendous workload this Office has undertaken to 
implement and deploy various Treasury programs' funding in 
Indian Country, the Committee directs the Department to support 
the Office of the Treasurer's activities inclusive of the 
establishment of this new office.
    Secondary Market for Housing Construction Loans.--The 
Committee continues to recognize the need to reduce housing 
costs by supporting increased housing supply efforts, including 
through expanded access to acquisition, development, and 
construction [AD&C] loans. The Committee directs the GAO to 
study and provide a briefing on preliminary observations to the 
Committees on Appropriations no later than 180 days after 
enactment of this act, with a report to follow in an agreed 
upon timeframe, on the feasibility of and any recommendations 
related to establishing a government-sponsored secondary market 
for AD&C loans, including by directing the government-sponsored 
enterprises to purchase and securitize a subset of such loans. 
The report should also evaluate other proposals for the 
development of nontraditional AD&C capital sources such as 
potential securitization opportunities and providing advances 
through the Federal Home Loan Banks. The report should address 
the feasibility and potential barriers associated with 
implementing such proposals, as well as potential effects, such 
as on AD&C loan interest rates, construction costs, access to 
capital for community-based financial institutions, quantity of 
affordable housing units, and overall housing costs, cost to 
taxpayers, or risks to the Federal Government.
    Property Insurance Landscape.--The Committee directs the 
Director of the Federal Insurance Office to, no later than 2 
years after the enactment of this act, study and publish a 
report on the current state of the insurance market for multi-
family housing (the ``Report"). The Director shall provide 
updates every 6 months to the Committee on the status of the 
Report. The ``insurance market'' for the Report must at a 
minimum include, but is not necessarily limited to, commercial 
property insurance (excluding auto insurance), liability 
insurance, builders risk construction insurance, commercial 
multiple peril [CMP] policies, and umbrella insurance. The 
Report should include an analysis of all types of multi-family 
housing, including both market-rate properties and affordable 
housing properties that are rent-restricted. The properties to 
be studied may include but are not limited to those developed 
through the use of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and other 
applicable State-level affordable housing tax credits, and/or 
properties involved with any Federal housing assistance 
program. The Report may exclude self-insured public housing 
properties. To inform the Report, the Director should gather 
and analyze data from the last 5 years prior the enactment of 
the act, to the extent practicable. The Report should include 
but is not limited to the following factors covering all types 
of multifamily housing including both market-rate and 
affordable housing properties that are rent-restricted or rent-
assisted: whether and how which insurance premiums have 
increased by line of insurance (e.g., property, liability, and 
umbrella); whether and how insurance coverage has been reduced 
(e.g., by increasing deductibles, reducing limits, or adding 
exclusions or other terms and conditions that may reduce 
coverage); whether and how insurers have increased non-
renewals; what, if any, differences can be observed in the 
insurance market for multi-family housing across zip codes, and 
the number of insurance carriers, by line of insurance, 
providing coverage for multi-family properties for each year. 
The Report should also discuss what factors may contribute to 
insurance costs for multi-family housing and, if possible, 
quantify the impact of each factor. These factors may include 
climate change and inflation, particularly rising labor and 
supply costs. The Report should also discuss whether and how 
unfair discrimination may play a role in underwriting insurance 
coverage for rent-restricted housing properties. This 
discussion should include an analysis of whether and how State 
and local legislation prohibiting or limiting source of income 
discrimination has impacted insurance cost and coverage for 
multifamily housing in applicable jurisdictions. The Report 
should also assess whether multi-family housing properties are 
relying more on residual market insurers, and what may the 
potential consequences are or will be to insurance costs and 
coverage for multi-family housing if this reliance is found to 
have increased or predicted to increase going forward. Based on 
the Report findings on the foregoing topics, the Report should 
also include recommendations for state insurance regulators, 
Federal legislators, and/or Federal housing regulators. The 
Director shall coordinate with the Secretary of Housing and 
Urban Development to obtain and share data, as needed and to 
the extent possible, for inclusion in the Report an analysis 
and prediction on the impact that increased insurance premiums 
may have on the Federal Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and 
project-based rental assistance housing, the supply of new 
affordable housing, and financial sustainment of existing 
affordable housing.
    State Small Business Credit Initiative [SSBCI].--The 
Committee is aware of Treasury's work in implementing critical 
funding for the SSBCI to States, territories, and Tribal 
governments to enable lending and investing for small 
businesses, since the program's reauthorization. To ensure 
Treasury fully addresses issues with delays in disbursing 
funds, the Committee encourages the Department to enact the 
recommendation in GAO-23-105293 to help improve planning, 
processes and reduce the potential for further delays.
    RESTORE Act Implementation.--The Committee expects the 
Department of the Treasury Office of Gulf Coast Restoration 
[OGCR] to meet all requirements under the Administrative 
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 551 et seq.) prior to taking any action 
that would limit the eligibility of previously approved RESTORE 
Act projects from receiving funding under the standardized 
performance metrics established and implemented prior to May 
16, 2024. The Committee expects the Department to go through 
proper notice-and-comment procedures before establishing 
internal directives which could have a detrimental impact on 
the environmental restoration on the U.S. Gulf Coast. No later 
than 90 days after enactment of this act, the Department shall 
brief the Committee on the revised reporting requirements for 
RESTORE Act direct component awards.

       COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN THE UNITED STATES FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $21,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      21,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      21,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 
2018 [FIRRMA] (Public Law 115-232) greatly expanded the 
jurisdiction of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the 
United States [CFIUS] to address growing national security 
concerns over foreign utilization of certain investment 
structures that had fallen outside of the jurisdiction of 
CFIUS. FIRRMA also established the CFIUS Fund, to be 
administered by the Secretary of the Treasury, to accept 
appropriated funds for these expanded functions and 
responsibilities and to collect filing fees.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $21,000,000 to 
address responsibilities facing the Department and other CFIUS 
agencies pursuant to FIRRMA. This appropriation is offset by 
filing fees.
    Spending Plan.--The Committee directs the Department to 
provide a detailed accounting of planned expenditures of the 
Department and member agencies prior to obligating or 
transferring amounts available in the CFIUS fund.
    CFIUS Engagement in Bankruptcy Proceedings.--The Committee 
is concerned by reports that companies backed by the Chinese 
Communist Party are exploiting the bankruptcy process to gain 
access to sensitive and proprietary information from American 
companies. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Treasury 
to work with member agencies to document in the interagency 
committee's annual report, with a classified annex as 
necessary, data on CFIUS' role and engagement in bankruptcy 
proceedings. This will include, to the extent possible, 
information about which covered transactions were in the 
bankruptcy process while before CFIUS as well as a documented 
committee-wide process for reviewing agreements and deciding 
enforcement actions.
    Genomic Data.--The Committee is concerned about the ongoing 
national security threat posed by foreign entities with ties to 
the Chinese government in a position to access Americans' 
genomic data, including instances where this threat could occur 
due to lack of preventable awareness or appropriate 
coordination among Federal agencies. To increase cross-agency 
awareness of transactions of concern, the Committee encourages 
the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to 
continue to consult the Department of Health and Human Services 
on any review of a covered transaction involving a United 
States business that maintains or collects information about 
genetic tests of United States citizens, including any such 
information related to genomic sequencing.

             OFFICE OF TERRORISM AND FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $226,862,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     230,533,000
Committee recommendation................................     235,333,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Economic and trade sanctions issued and enforced by the 
Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence's [TFI] Office 
of Foreign Assets Control safeguard financial systems against 
illicit use and combat rogue nations, terrorist facilitators, 
money launderers, proliferators of weapons of mass destruction, 
and other national security threats. In addition, TFI produces 
vital analysis with regard to foreign intelligence and 
counterintelligence across all elements of the National 
security community.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $235,333,000. 
The Committee strongly supports TFI's mission to strengthen 
national security by using targeted financial measures to 
combat threats and protect the integrity of the financial 
system.
    Economic Security Mission.--The Committee notes that 
Treasury's Office of Intelligence and Analysis [OIA] is 
formalizing its role in leading the intelligence community in 
economic and technology competition analysis. The Committee 
encourages OIA to coordinate analysis and dissemination of 
intelligence within Treasury and other economic policy 
agencies, as needed, to support decision makers that implement 
economic security policy. OIA is directed to provide the 
Committee, within 180 days of enactment of this act, a report 
detailing the necessary resources over 5 years to expand its 
current analytic capacity to meet the economic security 
mission.
    Price Cap on Russian Oil.--The Committee recognizes the 
important efforts of TFI to identify and close loopholes in the 
price cap on Russian oil that have been exploited by the 
Russian Federation to fund Russia's illegal war of aggression 
against Ukraine. The Committee encourages TFI to maintain 
strong enforcement of the Russian oil price cap regime, 
including through the issuance of sanctions and via 
collaboration with other Federal agencies and international 
allies.
    Cryptocurrency.--The Committee appreciates the Department's 
work in enforcing economic sanctions to support our foreign 
policy and national security and recognizes that new 
developments in financial tools like cryptocurrencies and 
decentralized finance may make that work more difficult. The 
Committee directs the Department to continue to report on and 
monitor the usage of cryptocurrencies in evading sanctions, 
laundering money, and other illicit purposes. The Committee is 
also concerned about any expansion in the use of 
cryptocurrencies in a fully illicit economy operating outside 
of traditional currencies and directs the Department to monitor 
and report on any significant changes in cryptocurrency use 
patterns to facilitate illicit activity, including any 
increased use of cryptocurrency by illicit actors to purchase 
goods.
    Financial Attaches.--The Committee recognizes the critical 
work of the Department and TFI in limiting illicit finance 
globally, as well as the necessity of working with 
international partners who may not have the same focus. 
Accordingly, the Committee encourages the Department to 
strongly consider which nations and regions play a significant 
role in sanctions evasion and in exporting Russian petroleum 
products in contravention of the oil price cap in selecting the 
assignments and locations of Treasury financial attaches and 
focus attention of those attaches on limiting illicit finance.
    Payment System.--No later than 180 days after the enactment 
of this act, the Treasury Department shall provide a briefing 
to the Committee on access to the payment system as a tool to 
conduct both foreign and domestic policy. The briefing should 
cover: (1) the benefits and costs of using the payment system 
for policy purposes; (2) the legal authority to deny access to 
the payment system; (3) the situations that would trigger 
removal from access to the payment system; and (4) the actions 
taken to mitigate the negative consequences when access to the 
payment system is limited for policy purposes.
    Hong Kong Sanction Authorities Implementation.--The 
Committee is concerned by the lack of officials in Hong Kong 
that have been sanctioned pursuant to the Hong Kong Autonomy 
Act and Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. Not later 
than 180 days after enactment of this act, the Secretary of the 
Treasury, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the 
heads of other relevant Federal agencies, shall submit a report 
to the Committees on Appropriations listing all officials 
sanctioned under such acts, including the types of information 
required in section 8 of the Hong Kong Human Rights and 
Democracy Act, and a detailed explanation for the limited 
number of individuals sanctioned pursuant to such acts.

        DEPARTMENT-WIDE SYSTEMS AND CAPITAL INVESTMENTS PROGRAMS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $11,007,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      14,470,000
Committee recommendation................................      11,118,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Department-wide Systems and Capital Investments 
Programs [DSCIP] account provides a mechanism for Treasury to 
fund capital investments and projects that span several fiscal 
years. Through this account, the Department has been able to 
fund the continual repair and restoration of the Main Treasury 
Building, which is the oldest departmental building and the 
third oldest federally occupied building in Washington, 
preceded only by the Capitol and the White House.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,118,000. 
The Committee notes that the DSCIP account has been utilized to 
fund a wide variety of multiyear information technology 
initiatives and renovation projects. Given the complexity of 
these initiatives, the bill includes an administrative 
provision directing the Department of the Treasury to submit an 
annual Capital Investment Plan to the Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 30 days after the President's 
budget submission.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $48,389,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      50,174,000
Committee recommendation................................      48,878,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    As a result of the 1988 amendments to the Inspector General 
Act, the Secretary of the Treasury established the Office of 
Inspector General [OIG] in 1989.
    The OIG conducts and supervises audits, evaluations, and 
investigations designed to: (1) promote economy, efficiency, 
and effectiveness and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in 
departmental programs and operations; and (2) keep the 
Secretary and Congress fully and currently informed of problems 
and deficiencies in the administration of departmental programs 
and operations. The audit function provides program audit, 
contract audit, and financial statement audit services. 
Contract audits provide professional advice to agency 
contracting officials on accounting and financial matters 
relative to negotiation, award, administration, repricing, and 
settlement of contracts. Program audits review and audit all 
facets of agency operations. Financial statement audits assess 
whether financial statements fairly present the agency's 
financial condition and results of operations, the adequacy of 
accounting controls, and compliance with laws and regulations. 
These audits contribute significantly to improved financial 
management by helping Treasury managers identify improvements 
needed in their accounting and internal control systems. The 
evaluations function reviews program performance and issues 
critical to the mission of the Department. The investigative 
function provides for the detection and investigation of 
improper and illegal activities involving programs, personnel, 
and operations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $48,878,000 for salaries and 
expenses of the Office of Inspector General.
    The Committee remains concerned about cyber-based threats 
as Treasury's information systems are critical to the core 
functions of government and the Nation's financial 
infrastructure. The Committee encourages the Inspector General 
to conduct oversight work on the potential vulnerability of 
Treasury's networks and systems including its physical 
security, continuous monitoring, and strong authentication.

Budget estimate, 2025...................................     179,026,000
Committee recommendation................................     174,250,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration 
[TIGTA] was established by the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act 
of 1998 (Public Law 105-206). TIGTA was created to provide 
independent audit and investigative services necessary to 
improve the quality and credibility of oversight of the 
Internal Revenue Service [IRS] and ensure that the IRS is held 
to a high level of accountability.
    TIGTA conducts audits, investigations, and inspections and 
evaluations to assess the operations and programs of the IRS 
and related entities, the IRS Oversight Board, and the Office 
of Chief Counsel to: (1) promote the economic, efficient, and 
effective administration of the Nation's tax laws and to detect 
and deter fraud and abuse in IRS programs and operations; and 
(2) recommend actions to resolve fraud and other serious 
problems, abuses, and deficiencies in these programs and 
operations, and keep the Secretary and Congress fully and 
currently informed of these issues and the progress made in 
resolving them.
    The audit function provides program audit, limited contract 
audit, and financial audit services. Program audits review and 
audit all facets of the IRS and related entities in an effort 
to improve IRS systems and operations while ensuring fair and 
equitable treatment of taxpayers. Contract audits focus on 
invoices/vouchers submitted to the IRS to determine whether 
charges are valid and to identify erroneous and improper 
payments. The investigative function provides for the detection 
and investigation of improper and illegal activities involving 
IRS programs and operations and protects the IRS and related 
entities against external attempts to corrupt or threaten the 
administration of the tax laws.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $174,250,000 
for TIGTA. The Committee appreciates TIGTA's efforts to promote 
the security of taxpayer data, to improve implementation of tax 
law changes, to combat identity theft and impersonation fraud, 
to ensure efficient and economical investments in information 
technology modernization, and to address all of the management 
and performance challenges confronting the IRS.
    Data Loss Prevention.--No later than 240 days after 
enactment of this act, TIGTA is directed to provide a report to 
the Committee on the maturity of the IRS's data inventory 
management, categorization, availability, access, encryption, 
incidence response, and governance, including for purposes to 
detect and prevent data exfiltration by insider threats.
    Refundable Tax Credit Abuse Prevention.--No later than 180 
days after enactment of this act, TIGTA is directed to provide 
a report to the Committee on the number of individual taxpayers 
that were allowed refundable tax credits who used Individual 
Taxpayer Identification Numbers [ITINs] as a means of 
verification for the primary and/or secondary taxpayer on tax 
returns filed with the IRS during the 2024 tax filing season. 
The report shall include the various types of refundable tax 
credits allowed, the number of each type of refundable that was 
tax credit allowed, and the average dollar amount per each 
refundable tax credit for primary and/or secondary taxpayers 
who filed taxes using an ITIN.

                  Financial Crimes Enforcement Network


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $190,193,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     215,689,000
Committee recommendation................................     215,689,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network [FinCEN], is a 
bureau within the Treasury Department's Office of Terrorism and 
Financial Intelligence, whose mission is to safeguard the 
financial system from the abuses of financial crime, including 
terrorist financing, money laundering, and other illicit 
activity. FinCEN accomplishes its mission by administering the 
Bank Secrecy Act, a collection of statutes that form the 
Nation's anti-money laundering/counterterrorist financing 
regulatory regime. As the delegated administrator of the Bank 
Secrecy Act, FinCEN is responsible for the development and 
implementation of regulations, rules, and guidance issued under 
the Bank Secrecy Act. FinCEN also oversees the work of eight 
Federal agencies with delegated responsibility to examine 
various sectors of the financial industry for compliance with 
the Bank Secrecy Act's requirements. FinCEN is responsible for 
collecting, maintaining, and disseminating the information 
reported by financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act 
through a Governmentwide access service. FinCEN is the United 
States' Financial Intelligence Unit [FIU] and a founding member 
of the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units. As the 
United States' FIU, FinCEN routinely shares information and 
cooperates with other FIUs around the world to address the 
global problems of terrorist financing, money laundering, and 
other illicit activity.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $215,689,000 for FinCEN.
    Anti-Money Laundering Safeguards for Investment Advisers.--
The Committee notes that illicit actors, including Russian 
oligarchs and other kleptocrats as well as drug traffickers and 
other criminals, have used investment advisers such as private 
equity, venture capital, and hedge fund managers to clean their 
ill-gotten gains. The Committee welcomes FinCEN's February 2024 
proposed rule to subject investment advisers to Federal Bank 
Secrecy Act rules and encourages FinCEN to finalize that 
rulemaking as soon as practicable. Further, the Committee 
welcomes FinCEN's stated intention to apply customer 
identification and due diligence requirements to investment 
advisers in the future. The Committee notes that FinCEN is 
required to revise the final rule entitled ``Customer Due 
Diligence Requirements for Financial Institutions'' by January 
1, 2025, and FinCEN is encouraged to address the issue of 
customer identification and due diligence requirements for 
advisers during that rulemaking.
    Anti-Money Laundering Rules for the Residential Real Estate 
Market.--The Committee welcomes FinCEN's 2024 notice of 
proposed rulemaking on ``Anti-Money Laundering Regulations for 
Residential Real Estate Transfers'' and urges FinCEN to 
finalize the rule as soon as practicable.
    Anti-Money Laundering Rules for the Commercial Real Estate 
Market.--The Committee welcomes indications that FinCEN intends 
to promulgate regulations to apply anti-money laundering [AML] 
safeguards to the commercial real estate sector. FinCEN is 
encouraged to propose and finalize a rule extending such AML 
safeguards to commercial real estate transactions as soon as 
practicable.
    Illegal and Unregulated Gambling.--The Committee is 
concerned about the continued spread of illegal gambling, both 
online and in communities, and the risk it possesses for 
illicit finance and money laundering. While the Bank Secrecy 
Act [BSA] provides AML controls for legal gambling, offshore 
online operators and unregulated gaming machines in the United 
States have no such controls allowing for billions of dollars 
to move undetected. The Committee strongly supports due 
diligence and source of funds protocols that protect the 
Nation's financial system and the public. The Committee is not 
aware of any such protocols used by illegal or unregulated 
gambling operators and agrees with the Department of the 
Treasury's 2024 National Money Laundering Risk Assessment's 
[NMLRA] assertion that illegal online sites utilize virtual 
assets to obfuscate sources of funds. The Committee encourages 
the Department to prioritize enforcement actions against 
illegal gambling operators and the financial tools they employ. 
Further, the Committee strongly encourages the Department to 
increase its coordination with other agencies such as the 
Departments of Justice, State, and Homeland Security with 
regards to illegal and unregulated gambling.
    Regulation for Legal Online Gaming.--The Committee strongly 
encourages FinCEN to provide guidance to the legal online 
gaming industry on their AML obligations under the BSA. Since 
2013, eight States have legalized gaming (otherwise known as 
Internet casinos) and 30 States plus the District of Columbia 
have legalized online sports betting. However, AML regulation 
of the gaming industry was established when legal gambling only 
occurred in brick-and-mortar casinos. As the legal industry 
evolved online, gaming operators have had to develop AML 
controls without sufficient guidance from FinCEN. The Committee 
notes the special section on legal online gaming included in 
the Department of the Treasury's 2024 NMLRA that States, ``The 
lack of uniform requirements or regulations of these services 
across state, territorial, and Tribal jurisdictions, present 
significant and increasing money laundering risks.'' The 
Committee directs FinCEN to provide a briefing to the 
authorizing and appropriations committees, within 90 days of 
the enactment of this act, on its progress towards creating 
regulatory certainty on AML responsibilities for legal online 
gaming operators and licensees.
    Redundant Reporting.--Consistent with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 and Executive Order 13610, FinCEN is 
encouraged to minimize, or eliminate, redundant reporting 
across different AML requirements as much as possible. 
Duplicate information can be burdensome and costly for both 
FinCEN and the public.
    Countering the Financing of Online Child Sexual 
Exploitation.--The Committee is concerned with increased online 
child sexual exploitation being monetized through the U.S. 
financial sector. The Committee encourages FinCEN to ensure the 
U.S. financial sector is adequately complying with existing 
regulatory requirements mandated through the ``Anti-Money 
Laundering Program Requirement'' of the USA PATRIOT Act to 
prevent the facilitation of online child exploitation and sex 
trafficking through the U.S. financial sector. Such efforts are 
consistent with FinCEN's priorities through the Anti-Money 
Laundering Act of 2020 in which Congress required FinCEN to 
identify and publish its highest priorities for combating money 
laundering and countering the financing of terrorism. FinCEN 
published its top eight priorities in June 2021 after 
consultations with law enforcement, the intelligence community, 
national security agencies, and Federal and State financial 
regulators. In addition to prioritizing its efforts to combat 
cybercrime, proliferation and terrorist financing, and 
transnational criminal organizations, FinCEN has identified 
combating human trafficking and smuggling as one of its highest 
priorities, consistent with the Treasury Department's National 
Money Laundering Strategy.

    Federal Facilities.--The Committee recognizes the value 
that Federal facilities across the country have on the 
successful operation of the Federal Government, including all 
current facilities operated by the Bureau of the Fiscal 
Service, as well as the communities in which they are located. 
The Committee recognizes the unique challenges faced by Federal 
agencies in reopening and returning to pre-pandemic operations 
at these facilities as a result of the coronavirus. At the same 
time, the Bureau has a responsibility to maintain continuity of 
operations and minimize uncertainty among its employees and the 
communities in which it operates, including the Bureau's 
facilities in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Acknowledging the 
Office of Management and Budget April 13, 2023 directive that 
all Executive Departments and Agencies ``substantially increase 
meaningful in-person work at Federal offices,'' no later than

teleworkers, present in the office, by duty station, on a given 
day during any two-week pay period after the enactment of this 
act; (4) the Bureau's most recent policy on telework, including 
any agreement with employee unions; and (5) metrics for 
measuring employee productivity levels when teleworking.
    Savings Bonds.--The Bureau is directed to provide a 
briefing to the Committee no later than 90 days after enactment 
of this act on its progress regarding the digitization of 
mature unredeemed debt.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $159,679,000 
for TTB. The Committee recommendation includes $5,000,000 for 
TTB's enforcement efforts for industry trade practice 
violations. Enforcement of trade practices functions, as 
required under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act (Public 
Law 74-401), is critical to ensuring a competitive, fair, and 
safe marketplace. The Committee will continue to monitor 
enforcement efforts for industry trade practice violations and 
the process for securing basic label and formula approvals 
under the Federal Alcohol Administration Act.
    Labeling Information.--The Committee notes that TTB is yet 
to finalize a rule proposed in 2007 requiring the alcohol 
content and serving facts information on all alcoholic 
beverages that will enable consumers to make informed drinking 
decisions. In 2022, TTB committed in writing to engage in a new 
rulemaking on this issue. In 2023, TTB announced it would hold 
a series of listening sessions. The Committee awaits TTB's 
rulemaking on this issue. No later than 90 days after enactment 
of this act, TTB shall submit a report to the Committees 
delineating its roadmap for implementation of this rule, 
including any additional resources necessary for its 
implementation.

                           United States Mint


               UNITED STATES MINT PUBLIC ENTERPRISE FUND

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The United States Mint manufactures coins, sells numismatic 
and investment products, and provides for security and asset 
protection. Public Law 104-52 established the U.S. Mint Public 
Enterprise Fund [the Fund]. The Fund encompasses the previous 
Salaries and Expenses, Coinage Profit Fund, Coinage Metal Fund, 
and the Numismatic Public Enterprise Fund. The Mint submits 
annual audited business-type financial statements to the 
Secretary of the Treasury and to Congress in support of the 
operations of the revolving fund.
    The operations of the Mint are divided into two major 
activities: manufacturing and sales (including circulating 
coinage and numismatic and investment products); and 
protection. The Mint is credited with receipts from its 
circulating coinage operations, equal to the full cost of 
producing and distributing coins that are put into circulation, 
including depreciation of the Mint's plant and equipment on the 
basis of current replacement value. Those receipts pay for the 
costs of the Mint's operations, which include the costs of 
production and distribution.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a spending level of $50,000,000 
for circulating coinage and protective service capital 
investments for the Mint for fiscal year 2025.

           Community Development Financial Institutions Fund

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $324,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     324,908,000
Committee recommendation................................     354,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Community Development Financial Institutions Fund makes 
investments in the form of grants, loans, equity investments, 
deposits, and technical assistance grants to new and existing 
community development financial institutions [CDFIs] through 
the CDFI program. CDFIs include community development banks, 
credit unions, venture capital funds, revolving loan funds, and 
microloan funds, among others. Recipient institutions engage in 
lending and investment for affordable housing, small business, 
and community development within underserved communities. The 
CDFI Fund administers the Bank Enterprise Award Program, which 
provides a financial incentive to insured depository 
institutions that undertake community development financing 
activities.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $354,000,000 for the CDFI Fund. Of 
the amounts provided, $191,000,000 is for financial and 
technical assistance grants, of which up to $10,000,000 may be 
used to provide technical and financial assistance to CDFIs 
that fund projects to help individuals with disabilities; 
$35,000,000 is for Native American initiatives; $40,000,000 is 
for the Bank Enterprise Award program; $24,000,000 is for the 
Healthy Food Financing Initiative; $9,000,000 is for the Small 
Dollar Loan Program; $45,000,000 is for the administrative 
expenses for all programs and $10,000,000 is for the Bond 
Guarantee Program.
    Economic Mobility Corps.--The Committee is providing up to 
$2,000,000 for the Economic Mobility Corps Program to continue 
the interagency agreement with the Corporation for National and 
Community Service to place national service members at 
certified CDFIs. The program strengthens the capacity of CDFIs 
to perform their activities relating to community and economic 
development, including but not limited to the following: 
financial literacy, financial planning, budgeting, saving, and 
other financial counseling activities. The expectation of the 
Committee is that the initiative will be funded at the level 
necessary to satisfy demand from CDFIs seeking to host 
AmeriCorps Members.
    Bond Guarantee Program.--The Committee includes a provision 
enabling the Secretary of the Treasury to guarantee up to 
$500,000,000 in bonds until December 31, 2026, an amount equal 
to the request level. The bonds are intended to support CDFI 
lending and investment activities in underserved communities by 
providing a source of long-term capital, and the funds raised 
through the bonds will be used to capitalize new loans or 
refinance existing loans.
    Persistent Poverty.--Building upon the existing investment 
requirement in persistent poverty counties that has been 
included in previous appropriations Acts, the Committee 
supports increasing targeted investments in high-poverty areas, 
defined as any census tract with a poverty rate of at least 20 
percent as measured by the 2016-2020 5-year data series 
available from the American Community Survey of the Census 
Bureau. The Committee directs the CDFI Fund to develop and 
implement measures to increase the share of investments in 
high-poverty census tracts with a poverty rate of at least 20 
percent as measured by the 2016-2020 5-year data series 
available from the American Community Survey of the Census 
Bureau, and any other impoverished areas the CDFI Fund 
determines to be appropriate areas to target. The Committee 
directs the CDFI Fund to submit a report to the Committee that 
includes the amount of funds that were targeted to such areas; 
the percent change from fiscal year 2024 in the amount of funds 
that were targeted toward such areas; and, to the extent 
practicable, an assessment of the economic impact of the 
program on the areas, including data on the categories of 
individuals impacted by the targeting of funds to such areas 
under the program, disaggregated by household income, race, 
gender, age, national origin, disability status, and whether 
the individuals live in an urban area, suburban area, or rural 
area.
    Further, the Committee directs the CDFI Fund to place a 
priority on making additional funds available to CDFI's that 
have provided no less than 15 percent of their total lending to 
recipients in persistent poverty counties, as measured by a 3-
year average of their activity in fiscal years 2022, 2023, and 
2024. The Committee also appreciates the CDFI Fund's efforts to 
increase the overall dollar amount invested by awardees in 
high-poverty areas.
    Non-Metropolitan and Rural Areas.--The Committee directs 
Treasury to take into consideration the unique conditions, 
challenges, and scale of non-metropolitan and rural areas when 
designing and administering programs to address economic 
revitalization and community development and when making CDFI 
award decisions. The Committee notes that the CDFI Fund is 
required by 12 U.S.C. 4706(b) to seek to fund a geographically 
diverse group of award recipients, including those from non-
metropolitan and rural areas. In addition, the Committee 
directs funding to be used in each program for projects that 
serve populations living in persistent poverty counties in 
accordance with this act. The Committee directs the Secretary 
to report to the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this 
act detailing how the fiscal year 2024 CDFI Program recipients 
intend to serve non-metropolitan and rural areas.

                    Bureau of Engraving and Printing


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Bureau of Engraving and Printing [BEP] has been the 
sole manufacturer of U.S. paper currency for almost 150 years. 
The origin of the BEP is traced to an act of Congress passed on 
February 25, 1862, 12 Stat. 345, authorizing the Secretary of 
the Treasury to issue a new currency-United States notes. While 
this law was the cornerstone authority for the operations of 
the engraving and printing division of the Treasury for many 
years, it was not until an act of June 20, 1874, 18 Stat. 100, 
that the Congress first referred to this division as the 
``Bureau of Engraving and Printing.'' The Bureau's status as a 
distinct bureau within the Department of the Treasury was 
solidified by section 1 of the act of June 4, 1897, 30 Stat. 
18, which placed all of the business of the BEP under the 
immediate control of a director, subject to the direction of 
the Secretary of the Treasury. The 1897 law is now codified in 
31 U.S.C. 303.
    The BEP designs, manufactures, and supplies Federal Reserve 
notes and other security documents issued by the Federal 
Government. The operations of the BEP are currently financed by 
means of a revolving fund, which requires the BEP to be 
reimbursed by customer agencies for all costs of manufacturing 
products and services performed. The BEP is also authorized to 
assess amounts to acquire capital equipment and provide for 
working capital needs.

                        Internal Revenue Service


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Internal Revenue Service [IRS] collects the revenue 
that funds the Government and administers the Nation's tax 
laws. The IRS taxpayer service program assists millions of 
taxpayers in understanding and meeting their tax obligations. 
The IRS tax enforcement and compliance program deters taxpayers 
inclined to evade their responsibilities while pursuing those 
who violate tax laws.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total of $12,319,054,000 for the 
Internal Revenue Service for fiscal year 2025.
    The Committee directs the IRS to prioritize audits of high-
income individuals and large corporations that may have 
neglected to pay their full tax obligation and not to increase 
audit rates, relative to historic levels, for small businesses 
and households with actual incomes below $400,000. To ensure 
that audits are being conducted transparently, and in a manner 
consistent with congressional intent, the Committee directs the 
IRS to publicly report the total number of audits conducted on 
households of less than $400,000, the percentage of individual 
income tax audits accounted for by audits of households of less 
than $400,000, and the percentage of these audits that result 
in adjustments to tax liability. The Committee further directs 
the IRS to provide the Committee with periodic briefings on its 
findings regarding disparities in audit rates or outcomes based 
on factors such as age, gender, geography, race and ethnicity.
    Hiring Authorities.--The Committee has included limited 
direct hire authority for the IRS. The Committee recognizes 
that the direct hiring authority provided to the IRS in fiscal 
year 2023 was used successfully to quickly bring on new 
employees to address the backlog of paper returns and address 
customer service issues. However, the Committee encourages the 
agency to continue to improve its use of competitive hiring and 
other existing hiring authorities and ensure adherence to the 
merit system when filling vacancies and to not use the direct 
hire authority provided in this bill as the agency's main 
method of hiring. The Committee directs the IRS to submit 
quarterly reports on its usage of direct hire authority, 
specifically the positions filled by IRS office, state, and 
salary grade. In addition, the Committee directs the agency to 
ensure existing employees are provided notice of vacant 
positions and opportunities to apply.
    User Fees.--The IRS is authorized to charge user fees to 
recover the cost of providing certain services to the public 
that confer a special benefit to the recipient. The Committee 
directs the IRS to submit a user fee spend plan, no later than 
60 days after enactment of this act, detailing planned spending 
on its appropriations accounts. Specifically, the Committee 
would like to see how programs, investments, and initiatives 
funded through each appropriations account are supported by 
user fees.
    Employee Retention Credits [ERC].--The Committee remains 
concerned about continuing IRS inventory backlogs and the delay 
in processing legitimate ERC claims owed to businesses. The IRS 
is directed to submit a report to the Committee outlining its 
work to process low-risk claims for the ERC.
    Federal Contractor Tax Check System [FCTCS].--Since 2019, 
the Committee appropriated significant funding to the IRS for 
the development of a FCTCS, a system whereby IRS can provide 
tax certificates to vendors. Vendors can then provide a copy of 
the certificate to contract officers to certify that they are 
not delinquent in payment of Federal taxes. The Committee 
understands that the IRS has made significant progress toward 
implementing the FCTCS in conjunction with the its plans to 
deliver secure online digital services to business taxpayers. 
Not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, the IRS is 
directed to provide the Committee with a briefing on the status 
of the FCTCS, number of certificates issued, the estimated 
timeline for updating the Federal Acquisition Regulations to 
mandate use of the FCTCS, the IRS' usage of the FCTCS for its 
own compliance with section 744 of this act, and the tax 
revenue attributable to the FCTCS.
    Security of Taxpayer Information.--The Committee reiterates 
its interest in the IRS addressing known security deficiencies 
and that taxpayer data is appropriately protected, in 
accordance with GAO and TIGTA recommendations. The Committee 
reminds the IRS that it is overdue in submitting a report 
required by House Report 118-145 outlining the steps it has 
taken to align with those recommendations.
    Streamlining Federal Affordable Housing Incentives.--The 
Committee directs the IRS, in coordination with the Department 
of Housing and Urban Development [HUD], to, within existing 
authorities, take steps to streamline and better coordinate 
Federal affordable housing development incentives and programs 
with the goal of simplifying the work necessary for developers, 
realtors, State and local housing authorities, and non-profits, 
such as minimizing the need to duplicative inspections. The 
Committee directs IRS, in coordination with HUD, to brief the 
authorization and appropriations committees no later than 180 
days after enactment of this act on steps that can be taken 
within existing authorities.
    W-2G Reporting Threshold.--The Committee recognizes that 
the IRS Advisory Council (IRSAC) Public Report published in 
November 2023 recommended the reporting threshold for slot 
machine jackpot winnings at casinos on Form W-2G be raised from 
$1,200 to $5,000 and indexed periodically. The IRSAC report 
noted that IRS is authorized to modify reporting thresholds for 
Form W2-G, that IRS administratively set the current threshold 
in 1977, and that IRS has not modified it since that time.
    Public Transportation Subsidy Program.--The Committee 
encourages the IRS to study whether to modify Internal Revenue 
Manual 1.32.15.6.1 (Public Transportation Subsidy Program) to 
allow participation of battery electric vehicles which can 
transport one driver and at least four adults.
    IRS Use of Emerging Artificial Intelligence.--The Committee 
notes the impact of emerging artificial intelligence [AI] 
technologies that could improve customer service and other IRS 
operations. The Committee supports efforts to improve customer 
experience in accordance with Executive Order 13571, 
``Streamlining Service Delivery and Improving Customer 
Service''. Further, the Committee encourages the Department to 
study the use of AI technologies in providing entry-level 
support for taxpayer services.
    While AI presents opportunity, it will require significant 
IRS effort to strengthen its data infrastructure to integrate 
the benefits of AI into day-to-day operations; this includes 
training for staff and continuous product and services 
maintenance. Additionally, the IRS will need to examine the 
risks of bias, privacy issues, and the need for transparency so 
that taxpayers have a clear understanding of how AI may 
influence tax administration decisions. This includes the right 
to appeals or seek clarification on matters influenced by AI.
    Within 180 days of enactment of this act, the IRS directed 
to brief the Committee on its examination of the risks and 
opportunities associated with AI and potential implementation 
steps, policy recommendations, as well as any other 
considerations.
    Government Sponsored Enterprises [GSEs].--As mandated by 
their Duty to Serve requirements, the GSEs are critical in 
financing affordable housing in rural communities. The GSEs' 
participation in multiparty Low-Income Housing Credit funds 
invested in rural communities is jeopardized by uncertainty 
regarding their status as tax-exempt controlled entities. The 
Department of the Treasury is directed to study actions that 
will clarify their tax status. The Committee directs the 
Department within 60 days of enactment of this act to provide a 
briefing on the findings of this study.
    Paid Leave Tax Credit Outreach and Awareness.--The 
Committee encourages the IRS to perform targeted outreach to 
employers, entities that provide payroll services, tax 
professionals, and other relevant entities regarding the 
availability and requirements of the Paid Family and Medical 
Leave tax credit under Section 45S of the Internal Revenue Code 
of 1986. This should include providing relevant information 
about the credit as part of IRS' regular communications with 
these entities. The Committee directs the IRS to brief the 
Committee within 90 days after enactment on the progress of the 
outreach and awareness campaign.
    Tax Regulations.--Not later than 90 days after enactment of 
this act, the IRS shall brief the Committee on the inter-agency 
review process and coordination with the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs for tax regulations.
    IRA Energy Tax Credits and Bonuses Implementation.--The 
Inflation Reduction Act (Public Law 117- 169) was drafted and 
signed into law to spur innovation and support a domestic 
manufacturing supply chain thereby reducing our reliance on 
foreign materials and processes and strengthening our energy 
security. The IRA also included provisions to encourage 
investment in particular communities that provided the energy 
resources for our country. The Committee is concerned that 
Treasury's proposed and finalized promulgated rules on the IRA 
clean energy tax credits and bonuses, like 30D, 45W, and the 
Domestic Content Bonus, and Offshore Wind Energy Communities 
Bonus, depart from following the letter and intent of the law. 
Treasury is encouraged to revisit 30D, 45W, and the Domestic 
Content Bonus, and Offshore Wind Energy Communities Bonus to 
ensure alignment with the IRA and its goals, and update these 
rules.
    45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit.--The 
Committee directs the IRS to submit a report identifying the 
total volume of ``45X'' credit claims in tax year 2023 
submitted by taxpayers that meet the criteria of a Foreign 
Entity of Concern, as defined in section 40207(a)(5) of the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (42 U.S.C. 18741(a)(5)).
    Hydrogen Tax Credit.--The Committee remains concerned that 
Treasury is considering imposing additional limitations or 
restrictions that are not authorized by section 45V of the 
Internal Revenue Code in order to qualify for the clean 
hydrogen production tax credit.
    Voting Related Activities.--The Committee notes that the 
IRS has not yet provided the briefing required under this 
heading in Senate Report 118-61. As such, within 30 days of 
enactment of this Act, the Committee directs the IRS to provide 
the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress 
with a briefing regarding any strategic plans developed by the 
IRS since January 20, 2021 outlining ways for the IRS to 
promote voter registration and voter participation.

                           TAXPAYER SERVICES

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $2,780,606,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   2,780,606,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,780,606,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Taxpayer Services appropriation provides for taxpayer 
services, including forms and publications; processing tax 
returns and related documents; filing and account services; 
taxpayer advocacy services; and assisting taxpayers to 
understand their tax obligations, correctly file their returns, 
and pay taxes due in a timely manner.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $2,780,606,000 for Taxpayer 
Services. Bill language is included providing not less than 
$11,000,000 for the Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program, not 
less than $26,000,000 for low-income taxpayer clinic grants, 
not less than $55,000,000, to be available for 2 years, for the 
Community Volunteer Income Tax Assistance [VITA] Matching 
Grants Program for tax return preparation assistance and other 
services, and not less than $301,000,000 for the Taxpayer 
Advocate Service.
    Taxpayer Services in Alaska and Hawaii.--The Committee is 
concerned with a growing number of taxpayer assistance center 
closures and a decline in the number of taxpayers served. The 
Committee is also concerned about the lack of taxpayer 
assistance centers in remote States, such as Alaska and Hawaii. 
Due to Alaska and Hawaii's remote distance from the U.S. 
mainland, the unique geographic challenges that make it 
burdensome to travel to the State's TAC, and the difficulty 
experienced by Alaska and Hawaii taxpayers in receiving needed 
tax assistance by the National toll-free line, it is imperative 
that the IRS improve taxpayer services in these States. The 
Committee directs the IRS to include Hawaii and Alaska in any 
ongoing or future studies of taxpayer needs and services. The 
Committee continues to recommend that the IRS open at least one 
additional TAC or to establish co-location agreements to 
increase access to taxpayer services in both Hawaii and Alaska. 
The Committee further encourages the IRS to take all measures 
to ensure adequate staffing of TACs in both States to meet the 
needs of taxpayers.
    IP PIN Expansion.--In 2023, the IRS identified 
$5,500,000,000 in tax fraud, including tax-related identity 
theft. Tax-related identity theft is most common during tax 
filing season, according to the Federal Trade Commission [FTC]. 
Tax-related identity theft reports have increased in recent 
years. Taxpayers who have their refunds hijacked by fraudsters 
often have to wait years to get the refunds to which they are 
legally entitled. More than 8.1 million taxpayers are now 
protecting themselves against tax-related identity theft by 
participating in the IP PIN program. The Committee recognizes 
that the IP PIN pilot program has been an important tool in 
saving taxpayer money and commends the IRS for expanding the 
pilot program to include all 50 States.
    Technical Assistance for Taxpayer Services Grants.--The 
Committee is concerned that areas needing taxpayer assistance 
the most cannot access the grants and programs designed to 
provide such help. The Secretary shall continue to conduct 
outreach and consider providing technical assistance to 
locations that have faced challenges staffing taxpayer 
assistance centers or accessing or deploying taxpayer 
assistance grants. The Committee encourages the IRS to work 
with the National Taxpayer Advocate for resource planning 
purposes in these efforts.
    IRS Customer Service and Assistance.--The IRS shall submit 
to Congress, and make public, a report of both IRS customer 
service representatives [CSR] and the Taxpayer Advocate 
Service's [TAS] incoming call volume, the average wait time for 
taxpayers placing calls, the number of calls received by CSRs 
and TAS from taxpayers that go unanswered, and any other 
relevant statistics related to CSRs and the TAS' responsiveness 
to taxpayers requesting assistance or account information. The 
report shall also include information on steps, if any, that 
the IRS has taken to improve CSR's and TAS' responsiveness.
    Employer Identification Number [EIN] Trusted Filer 
Program.--The Committee believes a Trusted Filer Program, 
similar to what exists for companies filing large numbers of 
tax returns, may enable the IRS to more efficiently process EIN 
requests from service providers. This program may enhance the 
efficiency of the EIN request process, benefiting both the IRS 
and businesses that require EINs to comply with tax and 
regulatory requirements. Therefore, the Committee encourages 
the IRS to study and provide a proof of concept on a Trusted 
Filer Program for the purpose of more effectively allowing 
qualified service providers to request EINs.
    Taxpayer Services Telework Posture.--The Committee notes 
that Congressional casework activities should be prioritized by 
all Federal agencies. Specifically, taxpayer services IRS 
employees serve an important role for millions of taxpayers 
across the country. It is important that those employees remain 
accessible to taxpayers. The IRS is encouraged to support 
taxpayer services employees' transition to regular in-person 
work at their duty stations.

                              ENFORCEMENT

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $5,437,622,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   5,437,622,000
Committee recommendation................................   5,437,622,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Enforcement appropriation provides for the examination 
of tax returns, both domestic and international; the 
administrative and judicial settlement of taxpayer appeals of 
examination findings; technical rulings; monitoring employee 
pension plans; determining qualifications of organizations 
seeking tax-exempt status; examining tax returns of exempt 
organizations; enforcing statutes relating to detection and 
investigation of criminal violations of the 31 internal revenue 
laws; identifying underreporting of tax obligations; securing 
unfiled tax returns; and collecting unpaid accounts.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $5,437,622,000 for enforcement 
activities for fiscal year 2025.
    Preventing Misclassification of Contractors.--The Committee 
believes that the IRS SS-8 Program, the Questionable Employment 
Tax Practices Program, criminal investigations, and 
examinations initiated based on tax filings that are indicative 
of potential misclassification are all critical to ensuring 
that workers are classified correctly. The Committee emphasizes 
the importance of enforcement of worker classification law to 
combat the underreporting of employment taxes that contributes 
significantly to the tax gap, and believes it is crucial that 
the IRS maintain sufficient staffing at all SS-8 processing 
locations. The Committee directs the IRS to notify the 
Committee prior to making any staffing reductions or 
reallocations within the SS-8 processing program.
    Criminal Investigation Division.--The Committee recognizes 
that tax crimes serve as predicate offenses to money laundering 
given that tax and money laundering violations are closely 
related. As such, the Committee urges the IRS to increase the 
number of special agents in the Criminal Investigations unit 
responsible for investigating money laundering, violations of 
the Bank Secrecy Act, and criminal violations of the tax code, 
to bolster the work of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network 
and the Department of Justice to combat money laundering and 
ensure that offenders are prosecuted to the fullest extent.

                   TECHNOLOGY AND OPERATIONS SUPPORT

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $4,100,826,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   4,100,826,000
Committee recommendation................................   4,100,826,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Technology and Operations Support appropriation 
provides resources for overall planning, direction, operations, 
and critical infrastructure activities for the IRS. These 
activities include IT and cybersecurity that keep tax systems 
running and protect taxpayer data, the financial management 
activities that ensure effective stewardship of the Nation's 
revenues, and the physical infrastructure and security that 
help IRS employees serve customers in office, campus, and 
Taxpayer Assistance Center sites. Telecommunications, human 
resource, and communications infrastructure are also critical 
components of this appropriation and are vital to maintaining 
adequate levels of customer service and the post-filing 
processes necessary for the tax system to function.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $4,100,826,000 for Technology and 
Operations Support for fiscal year 2025.
    Information Technology Reports.--The Committee directs the 
IRS to submit quarterly reports on particular major project 
activities to the Committees on Appropriations and the GAO, no 
later than 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter 
in fiscal year 2025. The Committee expects the reports to 
include detailed, plain English explanations of the cumulative 
expenditures and schedule performance to date, specified by 
fiscal year; the costs and schedules for the previous 3 months; 
the anticipated costs and schedules for the upcoming 3 months; 
and the total expected costs to complete the major information 
technology project activities. In addition, the quarterly 
report should clearly explain when the project was started; the 
expected date of completion; the percentage of work completed 
as compared to planned work; the current and expected state of 
functionality; any changes in schedule; and current risks 
unrelated to funding amounts and mitigation strategies. The 
Committee directs the Department of the Treasury to conduct a 
semi-annual review of the IRS's IT investments to ensure the 
cost, schedule, and scope goals of the projects are 
transparent. The Committee further directs GAO to review and 
provide an annual report to the Committees evaluating the cost 
and schedule of all major IRS information technology projects

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $129,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     138,278,000
Committee recommendation................................     133,290,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of Management and Budget [OMB] assists the 
President in the discharge of his budgetary, management, and 
other executive responsibilities.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $133,290,000 
for OMB. The Committee expects OMB to utilize its resources to 
respond in a timely and complete manner to requests from the 
Committee.
    Apportionment.--The Committee understands that funds 
appropriated by Congress may not be obligated by individual 
agencies until those agencies receive a signed apportionment 
from OMB. When Congress appropriates funds, it expects OMB to 
make those funds available for obligation subject to reasonable 
restrictions on timing. Therefore, the Committee, in fiscal 
year 2023, made permanent a government-wide general provision 
directing OMB to make all signed apportionments available for 
review on the agency's publicly available website within 24 
hours of approval. In addition, OMB shall notify the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations when any program specific 
restrictions are included in an apportionments or when a signed 
apportionment is significantly delayed.
    Government-Wide Provisions.--The bill includes a variety of 
general provisions that apply to all Federal agencies that are 
funded through the appropriations process. These provisions 
address a number of issues, including workplace policies on 
illegal drug use, limitations on use of funds for office 
renovations or the purchase of passenger motor vehicles, 
improper Internet use, and limitations on funding for 
conferences. The Committee agrees that the responsibility to 
enforce these provisions lies primarily with the individual 
agencies. However, the Committee believes that OMB should be 
responsible for ensuring that all agencies are aware of these 
government-wide provisions, as well as any bill-wide provisions 
that may be applicable, and that agencies have the necessary 
policies and procedures in place to comply with these 
requirements. The bill includes an administration provision 
that addresses awareness of and compliance with these 
provisions.
    Federal Trust and Treaty Responsibilities.--OMB is directed 
to remind 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.
    Government-Wide Telework.--The Committee directs OMB to 
consult with all Federal agencies and submit to the Committee 
no later than 90 days after enactment of this act, a report 
that includes: (1) agency action plans for return to work that 
were submitted to OMB in January 2024; (2) by agency, the 
average number and percent of employees present in the office 
on a given day during any two-week pay period after enactment 
of this act; (3) each agency's most recent policy on telework, 
including any agreement with employee unions; (4) metrics for 
measuring employee productivity levels when teleworking; (5) a 
description of each agency's effort to reduce its office 
footprint if their average space utilization is less than 60 
percent, based on a benchmark of 150 useable square feet per 
person; and (6) cost of total office space, average office 
space utilization rate, and estimated cost of underutilized 
space.
    Service Contracts.--The Committee is concerned that many 
Federal agencies are failing to comply with requirements 
enacted in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2010 to 
report information on the use of service contracts, including 
how much is spent on service contracts and the number of 
contractors employed through those contracts. OMB is directed 
to ensure that agencies comply with these provisions and brief 
the Committee on the result of their efforts.
    Federal Resiliency Standards.--The Committee continues to 
believe that a nationwide effort is necessary to ensure that 
federally-supported infrastructure projects are constructed to 
meet or exceed adequate resiliency and sustainability 
standards. OMB is directed to brief the Committee, no later 
than 90 days after enactment of this act, on progress it has 
made toward the establishment of uniform minimum Federal 
resiliency and sustainability standards for federally-supported 
capital projects and the adoption of processes are in place to 
guarantee compliance, as encouraged by the directive under this 
heading contained in House Report 117-79 and adopted by Public 
Law 117-103.
    Made in America Office.--The Committee recognizes that the 
Made in America Office [MIAO] within OMB, authorized under 
Section 70923 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, 
plays an important role in sustaining a domestic supply base to 
meet Federal procurement requirements. The health of our 
manufacturing sector and the efficient completion of Federal 
procurements and federally assisted infrastructure projects 
depends on the timely ability of the MIAO to review proposed 
waivers of domestic preference statutes. The Committee includes 
$3,000,000 for the OMB above its budget request to provide the 
MIAO with the funding it needs to execute its statutory duties, 
including hiring full time employees.
    Statistical Directives.--The Committee notes OMB's 
revisions to statistical policy directives which will ensure 
the collection and reporting of accurate and sufficiently 
detailed data across the Federal Government. The Committee 
encourages OMB to continue working with agencies to ensure the 
required action plans are comprehensive and timely and that 
agencies have sufficient instructions to implement them.
    2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.--On January 30, 2024, 
the Secretary of Homeland Security designated the 2028 Olympic 
and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles, California as a National 
Special Security Event [NSSE]. The designation commits all 
Federal agencies to provide full cooperation and support to 
ensure the safety of all participants. Significant resources 
will need to be dedicated to this effort, and as such, the 
Director shall submit a report to the Committee, not later than 
120 days after enactment of this act, describing the Federal 
Government's commitments in support of securing the Games and 
each department of agency's projected resource needs for fiscal 
year 2026 through fiscal year 2029.
    Agency Advertising.--The Committee is concerned that the 
advertising budgets for agencies are not providing access for 
publications of ethnic, rural, and community media outlets. The 
Committee encourages OMB to examine how the Federal Government 
can better work with ethnic, rural, and community media outlets 
on advertising. OMB is direct to submit a report to the 
Committee not later than 120 days after enactment of this act 
that includes the advertising budget of each Federal agency for 
fiscal year 2024 broken out by medium, including print, 
digital, radio, television, and others as appropriate. The 
report will include recommendations on how Federal agencies can 
better work with ethnic, rural, and community media outlets.
    FedRAMP Implementation Plans.--The Committee directs OMB to 
ensure that agencies have established a FedRAMP implementation 
plan, posted on a publicly available and centralized webpage, 
prepared to achieve transparency of each agency's individual 
FedRAMP approval process, and to provide cloud service 
providers information about the agency policies and procedures.

                 Office of National Drug Control Policy


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $21,785,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      30,300,000
Committee recommendation................................      30,803,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of National Drug Control Policy [ONDCP], 
established by the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, and 
reauthorized by Public Law 115-271, is charged with developing 
policies, objectives, and priorities for the National Drug 
Control Program. In addition, ONDCP administers the High 
Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas Program, the Drug-Free 
Communities Support Program, and several other related 
initiatives.
    This account provides funding for personnel compensation, 
travel, and other basic operations of the Office, and for

National Drug Control Strategy.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $30,803,000 
for ONDCP's salaries and expenses.
    Non-Fatal Overdose Data.--ONDCP is encouraged to continue 
to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and accessibility of fatal 
and non-fatal overdose data from law enforcement, emergency 
medical services, and public health sources through interagency 
coordination and by updating the Drug Control Data Plan on an 
annual basis.

Federal agencies to obtain reliable United States government-
developed estimates of illicit crops used in the production of 
narcotics and to update the Committee on its efforts no later 
than 90 days after enactment of this act.

                     FEDERAL DRUG CONTROL PROGRAMS


             HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $298,579,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     290,200,000
Committee recommendation................................     290,200,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The HIDTA program was established by the Anti-Drug Abuse 
Act of 1988 (Public Law 100-690) to provide assistance to 
Federal, State, and local law enforcement entities operating in 
those areas most adversely affected by drug trafficking.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $290,200,000 
for the HIDTA program. The Committee directs that funding shall 
be provided for the existing HIDTAs at no less than the fiscal 
year 2024 level.
    The Committee recommendation specifies that up to 
$4,000,000 may be used for auditing services and associated 
activities and $2,000,000 is for the grants management system.
    New Counties.--The Committee is concerned about the 
devastating impact the drug epidemic is having on communities 
throughout the country, particularly in the Appalachian Region. 
Many of the areas that are hit hardest by this crisis, such as 
the Appalachian region, lack administrative resources to 
compete adequately for scarce Federal funds intended to assist 
these areas. To ensure communities are equipped with the 
necessary resources to coordinate law enforcement strategies 
adequately, ONDCP is directed to prioritize States with the 
highest overdose death rates per capita when deciding new 
designations. Further, ONDCP is directed to provide enhanced 
technical assistance to any applicants that have applied that 
did not receive a designation at any time during the past 
several award cycles.
    Fentanyl Trafficking and Interdiction.--The HIDTA program's 
work is critical as the fentanyl epidemic continues to ravage 
communities throughout the country. Significantly, the vast 
majority of Customs and Border Patrol's [CBP's] fentanyl 
interdictions, and approximately half of HIDTA's fentanyl 
interdictions, occur in the southwestern border region. 
Accordingly, the Committee recognizes the importance of HIDTA 
funding to support Federal, State, local, and Tribal law 
enforcement agencies operating in areas along the southwest 
border of the United States.

    Drug-Free Communities Support Program.--The Drug-Free 
Communities [DFC] Support Program provides dollar-for-dollar 
matching grants of up to $125,000 to local coalitions that 
mobilize their communities to prevent youth alcohol, tobacco, 
illicit drug, and inhalant abuse. Such grants support 
coalitions of youth; parents; media; law enforcement; school 
officials; faith-based organizations; fraternal organizations; 
State, local, and Tribal government agencies; healthcare 
professionals; and other community representatives. The DFC 
Support Program enables these coalitions to strengthen their 
coordination and prevention efforts, encourage citizen 
participation in substance abuse reduction efforts, and 
disseminate information about effective programs. The Committee 
provides $109,000,000 for the continuation of the DFC Support 
Program. Of that amount, $2,500,000 shall be for training and 
related purposes as authorized by section 4 of Public Law 107-
82, as amended by section 8204 of Public Law 115-271.
    Fentanyl-Related Substances.--ONDCP is encouraged to 
promote the efforts of community-led coalitions to raise 
awareness of the rise of fentanyl contamination of illegal 
drugs and to prevent drug overdose deaths caused by illicit 
fentanyl in the National Drug Control Strategy on an annual 
basis.
    World Anti-Doping Agency [WADA] Governance.--The Committee 
is deeply concerned over allegations that WADA failed to take 
appropriate action in response to positive tests of a 
prohibited substance (trimetazidine, also known as TMZ) among 
23 Chinese swimmers in January 2021. The Committee notes that 
the FBI and the Justice Department have opened a criminal 
investigation into this matter. The Committee fervently 
believes that WADA and other anti-doping stakeholders must take 
action to vastly improve their management of such cases in the 
future through internal reforms, changes to the World Anti-
Doping Code, and a deeper study of this and other contamination 
cases. American athletes, and athletes around the world, need 
to be confident that WADA and all national anti-doping 
organizations will take a fair, consistent, and transparent 
approach to positive drug tests, wherever they occur. The 
Committee is pleased that ONDCP, as President of the American 
Sports Council (Consejo Americano del Deporte or CADE), serves 
on WADA Executive Committee and directs ONDCP to continue 
pushing WADA to strengthen its disclosure requirements in 
instances of positive test findings and its uniform application 
of anti-doping protocol so WADA can fully be fit for purpose as 
the single global regulator of doping in sports. ONDCP is 
directed to brief the Committees no later than 60 days after 
enactment of this act on the status of WADA's response to this 
crisis of confidence in WADA and the steps WADA is taking to 
strengthen key components of the organization.
    The Committee expects WADA to: (1) make detailed 
information about the circumstances related to WADA's handling 
of the case regarding the 23 Chinese swimmers available to the 
public; (2) identify and implement a process that will 
significantly improve how alleged contamination cases are 
handled both by WADA and by national anti-doping organizations, 
such as the establishment of a WADA independent expert 
committee with decision-making authority on all positive tests 
that do not result in an anti-doping rule violation and public 
announcement; (3) establish mechanisms to ensure that the WADA 
Executive Committee receives timely notification of any alleged 
contamination cases involving multiple athletes in the future; 
and (4) have an outside audit performed of WADA.
    The Committee includes language allowing ONDCP to provide 
up to the level requested for WADA dues and directs that, no 
less than 30 days prior to obligating funds to WADA, ONDCP 
shall submit a spending plan and explanation of the proposed 
uses of these funds to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations. The Committee will evaluate WADA's further 
actions and reforms in response to its handling of this matter, 
which will be taken into consideration in deciding a final 
fiscal year 2025 WADA Dues funding level.
    Evolving and Emerging Drug Threats.--Funding is provided to 
implement evolving and emerging drug threat response plans, as 
authorized by section 709 of the Office of National Drug 
Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 1988, such as the use of 
xylazine, an adulterant of fentanyl.

                               TITLE III

                             THE JUDICIARY

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Established under Article III of the Constitution, the 
judicial branch of the Federal Government is a separate but 
equal branch. The Federal judiciary consists of the Supreme 
Court, United States Courts of Appeals, District Courts, 
Bankruptcy Courts, Court of International Trade, Court of 
Federal Claims, and several other entities and programs. The 
organization of the judiciary, the district and circuit 
boundaries, the places of holding court, and the number of 
Federal judges are legislated by the Congress and signed into 
law by the President.
    The Committee's recommended funding levels support the 
Federal judiciary's role of providing equal justice under the 
law and include sufficient funds to support this critical 
mission. The recommended funding level includes the salaries of 
judges and support staff and the operation and security of our 
Nation's courts.
    The judicial branch is subject to the same funding 
constraints facing the executive and legislative branches. It 
is imperative that the Federal judiciary devote its resources 
primarily to the retention of staff. Further, it is also 
important that the judiciary contain controllable costs such as 
travel, construction, and other expenses.

    The United States Supreme Court consists of nine justices 
appointed under Article III of the Constitution of the United 
States, one of whom is appointed as Chief Justice of the United 
States. The Supreme Court acts as the final arbiter in the 
Federal court system.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $140,323,000 
for the salaries and expenses of personnel, and the costs of 
operating the Supreme Court, excluding the care of the building 
and grounds. The increased funding is for security needs.
    Supreme Court Assessment of Security Investments.--The 
Supreme Court has been provided with significant investment in 
recent years as a result of increased security needs. The 
Committee understands the Court's desire to expand the scope of 
the Supreme Court Police's capabilities to address emerging and 
future security requirements. The Supreme Court is requested to 
provide to the Committee, no later than 120 days after 
enactment of this act, a detailed written report from an 
independent party with Federal security expertise that 
provides: (1) an analysis of the Court's current security 
program, including a mission description reflecting the current 
and future security requirements for the protection of the 
Court and the Justices and the number of sworn and civilian 
personnel and contractors allocated to each security and 
support function currently performed and planned for the future 
state. This independent analysis should also include the sworn 
personnel currently onboard and the required training and 
equipping required at various stages of planned expansion for 
the security program; and the current and future state 
technological and physical security capabilities to address the 
security requirements for the protection of both the Court and 
the residences of the Justices; and (2) an analysis of and 
recommendations for a cohesive strategy linking the various 
components of the Court's security operations. The strategy 
should focus on force protection, dignitary protection, 
protective intelligence, technical and physical security and 
residential security operations and set out measurable Court 
security benchmarks and goals.
    To ensure the protection of the Court and the Justices 
during the development and evaluation of the requested report, 
the Court shall execute a memorandum of understanding with a 
period of performance extending no later than the end of fiscal 
year 2026, by which time the Supreme Court Police shall assume 
full responsibility for Justice residential protection, between 
the United States Marshals Service [USMS] and the Supreme 
Court. The memorandum shall detail the protective services to 
be provided by the USMS as proposed by the USMS Director, the 
Marshal of the Court, and the Supreme Court Police.

Other Judicial Services. In addition to funding the salaries of 
judges and support staff, this account also funds the operating 
costs of appellate, district, and bankruptcy courts, the Court 
of Federal Claims, and probation and pretrial services offices.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,100,000,000 
for salaries and expenses.
    Cybersecurity and IT Modernization.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of the need to improve cybersecurity 
and IT Modernization and assumes continued progress with funds 
provided.
    Strengthening Collaboration to Ensure Effective Treatment 
Services.--The Committee recognizes the importance of 
rehabilitation and successfully enabling reentry of 
incarcerated people into their communities, including providing 
mental health, substance misuse, and other behavioral health 
support to individuals leaving the custody of the Federal 
Bureau of Prisons and entering the Federal Judiciary's 
Probation and Pretrial Services program for a term of court-
ordered post-release supervision. Creating a continuum of care 
can help certain offenders adhere to and continue engagement 
with their behavioral health treatment plans, obtain gainful 
employment, and avoid committing future crimes. The Committee 
is aware that there is continuum of care collaboration between 
the Federal Judiciary's Probation and Pretrial Services program 
and the Federal Bureau of Prisons but encourages both entities 
to strengthen that collaboration to include better information 
sharing, including electronic data sharing, on the treatment 
needs of individuals coming out of Federal prison.
    Early Termination of Supervised Release.--Supervised 
release is currently imposed by a Federal district court in the 
vast majority of Federal criminal sentences. The U.S. Supreme 
Court explained in Johnson v. United States, 529 U.S. 694 
(2000), that supervised release was designed to be provided 
``for those, and only those, who needed it.'' Unnecessary 
supervision increases burdens on probation officers and may 
limit their ability to supervise those who need it. The 
Committee believes that better tailoring when and how 
supervised release is imposed, better notifying individuals on 
supervised release when appropriate about their right to seek 
early termination, and granting early termination when doing so 
would be consistent with public safety, can not only reduce 
burdens on law enforcement and save valuable judicial 
resources, but also create positive incentives for compliance 
and rehabilitation consistent with the purposes of supervision. 
The Committee directs the Administrative Office to provide a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations no later than 180 
days after enactment of this act detailing any Federal statutes 
or Judicial Conference policies requiring the Administrative 
Office to notify individuals of their eligibility to seek early 
termination, and Judicial Conference policies and practices 
regarding the recommending of early termination. The report 
should also include data on grants of early termination and the 
imposition of supervised release, disaggregated by 
jurisdiction.

                 VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION TRUST FUND

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $9,975,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      11,764,000
Committee recommendation................................      11,686,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Enacted by the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 
1986 (Public Law 99-660), the Vaccine Injury Compensation 
Program is a Federal no-fault program designed to resolve a 
perceived crisis in vaccine tort liability claims that 
threatened the continued availability of childhood vaccines 
nationwide. The statute's primary intention is the creation of 
a more efficient adjudicatory mechanism that ensures a no-fault 
compensation result for those allegedly injured or killed by 
certain covered vaccines. This program protects the 
availability of vaccines in the United States by diverting a 
substantial number of claims from the tort arena.
    Not only did this act create a special fund to pay 
judgments awarded under the act, but it also created the Office 
of Special Masters within the United States Court of Federal 
Claims to hear vaccine injury cases. The act stipulates that up 
to eight special masters may be appointed for this purpose. The 
special masters' expenditures are reimbursed to the judiciary 
for vaccine injury cases from a special fund set up under the 
act.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,686,000.

                           DEFENDER SERVICES

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $1,450,680,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   1,690,024,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,500,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Defender Services program ensures the right to counsel 
guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the 
Criminal Justice Act (18 U.S.C. 3006A(e)), and other 
congressional mandates for those who cannot afford to retain 
counsel and other necessary defense services. The Criminal 
Justice Act provides that courts appoint counsel from Federal 
public and community defender organizations or from a panel of 
private attorneys established by the court. The Defender 
Services program helps to maintain public confidence in the 
Nation's commitment to equal justice under the law and ensures 
the successful operation of the constitutionally based 
adversary system of justice by which Federal criminal laws and 
federally guaranteed rights are enforced.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$1,500,000,000.
    McGirt v. Oklahoma.--No later than 120 days after enactment 
of this act, the Administrative Office [AO] of the U.S. Courts

United States Attorneys.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $38,555,000.

           Administrative Office of the United States Courts


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $102,673,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     108,684,000
Committee recommendation................................     103,700,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Administrative Office [AO] of the United States Courts 
was created in 1939 by Public Law 76-299. It serves the Federal 
judiciary in carrying out its constitutional mission to provide 
equal justice under the law. Beyond providing numerous services 
to the Federal courts, the AO provides support and staff 
counsel to the Judicial Conference of the United States and its 
committees, and implements Judicial Conference policies as well 
as applicable Federal statutes and regulations. The AO is the 
focal point for communication and coordination within the 
Federal judiciary and with Congress, the executive branch, and 
the public on behalf of the judiciary.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $103,700,000.
    Artificial Intelligence.--The Committee understands that 
artificial intelligence [AI] may hold great promise for the 
administration of law, perhaps allowing judges, lawyers and 
litigants greater ease in litigating matters. However, the 
Committee is also aware of reports of how the use of AI has led 
to problems with pleadings and documents filed with courts. The 
Committee also knows that automated speech recognition software 
has led to mixed results, including inadequately preserved 
transcripts of proceedings that have compromised parties' 
capabilities to appeal adverse rulings. The administration of 
justice must be founded in reason and logic, and it is far from 
clear that AI would substantially aid in this process. The 
Committee notes Chief Justice Roberts' comments on AI in his 
most recent update on the state of U.S. courts. Consequently, 
the Administrative Office of the United States Courts [AO] is 
directed to study and report to the Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 1 year after enactment of this act 
on the current and potential future impact of AI on courts in 
the U.S., including potential impacts on litigants, the 
administration of justice, the ability of parties to appeal, 
judicial decision-making and rulings and the legal and judicial 
workforces. The Committee urges the AO to engage with experts 
in relevant disciplines in studying AI and how it could affect 
the law.
    District of Colorado Long-Range Courthouse Space 
Planning.--The Committee is aware that the AO is undertaking an 
update to the long-range facilities plan for Federal courthouse 
space within the District of Colorado, a process that will take 
12-15 months, and will identify current and future space needs 
within the district and strategies for addressing those needs. 
The AO is directed to provide a briefing to the Committees on 
Appropriations on the results of the long-range facilities plan 
for the District of Colorado once completed.
    Judicial Conduct and Disability [JC&D] Act Orders.--The AO 
is directed to continue to report to the House and Senate 
authorizing and appropriations committees on Judicial Conduct 
and Disability [JC&D] Act orders that result in a finding of 
misconduct for any judge no later than 30 days after an order 
of the relevant judicial council becomes final or, for those 
orders where review by the Judicial Conference's Committee on 
Judicial Conduct and Disability [JC&D Committee] has been 
requested, no later than 30 days after the JC&D Committee's 
review has been completed. The Committee notes that a single, 
centralized webpage on JC&D orders is located on uscourts.gov.
    Office of Judicial Integrity.--The AO is encouraged to 
ensure that there are sufficient staffing resources in the 
Office of Judicial Integrity to address workplace conduct needs 
in the branch and should identify additional staffing and 
resource needs in the AO's budget request to Congress.
    Financial Disclosure Reports.--The Committee is concerned 
about delays in posting on the Judiciary's public website 
annual financial disclosure reports for Federal judges as 
required by the Courthouse Ethics and Transparency Act (Public 
Law 117-125). The Administrative Office [AO] is encouraged to 
evaluate staff resources for the Committee on Financial 
Disclosure to ensure timely review and posting online of 
financial disclosure reports, and to address any additional 
resource needs in the AO's annual budget request.
    Improving Compliance with Judicial Disclosures 
Requirements.--The Committee notes that it has been reported 
that dozens of Federal judges are not disclosing their 
participation in privately-funded seminars as required by the 
Ethics in Government Act and Judicial Conference policy. The 
Judicial Conference is urged to redouble its efforts to ensure 
100 percent compliance with seminar disclosure requirements.
    Office of Employee Advocacy.--As the judiciary continues 
its work to ensure that it is an exemplary workplace for all 
employees, the Committee urges the Administrative Office to 
create an independent office of employee advocacy to serve as 
the legal counsel for employees who need advice or legal 
representation regarding harassment, discrimination, 
retaliation and other workplace misconduct matters.
    Judiciary Workplace Practices.--In its July 2024 report, 
Enhancing Efforts to Coordinate Best Workplace Practices Across 
the Federal Judiciary, the FJC and NAPA presented findings and 
options for consideration regarding workplace practices. No 
later than May 30, 2025, the AO is directed to update the 
Committee on its consideration of each option in the report. 
Additional useful information, such as resources that would be 
required to carry out options, is encouraged to be included.

                                TITLE IV

                          DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

                             FEDERAL FUNDS

    The Appropriations Committees have a special relationship 
with the District of Columbia that is unlike any other city in 
the country. Under the National Capital Revitalization and 
Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-33), 
the Federal Government is required to fund the court operations 
of the District of Columbia, offender and defendant 
supervision, and defendant representation. Title IV of this act 
provides Federal payments to meet these statutory obligations. 
Title IV also includes other Federal payments to fund 
initiatives in areas including education and security.
    Death with Dignity.--Congress has expressly forbidden the 
use of Federal funding for purposes related to assisted suicide

the District of Columbia shall submit an annual report to the 
Committee to certify that no Federal funds are used to 
implement D.C. Law 21-182 in the District of Columbia in 
contravention of existing law.

106-98). The program provides grants annually for undergraduate 
District students to attend eligible public 2-year and 4-year 
colleges and universities nationwide. The grants are applied 
toward the cost of the difference between in-State and out-of-
State tuition. Grants are also provided for students to attend 
private institutions in the D.C. metropolitan area and private 
Historically Black Colleges and Universities nationwide.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $40,000,000

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $8,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................       8,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       8,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Approximately one-third of the District of Columbia is 
served by a combined sewer system, constructed by the Federal 
Government in 1890, in which both sanitary waste and stormwater 
flow through the same pipes. When the collection system or the 
Blue Plains treatment plant reach capacity, typically during 
periods of heavy rainfall, the system is designed to overflow 
the excess water. This mixture of sewage and stormwater runoff 
is discharged to the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers, Rock Creek, 
and tributary waters between 60 and 75 times each year. The 
Clean Rivers Project includes deep underground storage tunnels, 
side tunnels to reduce flooding, pump station rehabilitation, 
and the elimination of over a dozen CSO outfalls along the 
Potomac and Anacostia Rivers and Rock Creek. When completed in 
2025, this project is expected to vastly improve water quality 
and significantly reduce contaminated discharges into and 
debris in our Nation's capital waterways as well as improve the 
health of the Chesapeake Bay.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $8,000,000.

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $150,975,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     183,050,000
Committee recommendation................................     162,485,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Consumer Product Safety Commission [CPSC] is an 
independent Federal regulatory agency, created in 1972, and is 
responsible for protecting the public against unreasonable 
risks of injury from consumer products; assisting consumers to 
evaluate the comparative safety of consumer products; 
developing uniform safety standards for consumer products and 
minimizing conflicting State and local regulations; and 
promoting research and investigation into the causes and 
prevention of product-related deaths, illnesses, and injuries.
    In carrying out its mandate, the CPSC establishes mandatory 
product safety standards, where appropriate, to reduce the 
unreasonable risk of injury to consumers from consumer 
products; helps industry develop voluntary safety standards; 
bans unsafe products if it finds that a safety standard is not 
feasible; monitors recalls of defective products; informs and 
educates consumers about product hazards; conducts research and 
develops test methods; collects and publishes injury and hazard 
data; and promotes uniform product regulations by governmental 
units.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $162,485,000 for the Consumer 
Product Safety Commission [CPSC].
    Fire-safe battery enclosures for micromobility devices.--
Industry safety standards, such as UL2849, contain effective 
measures to reduce the likelihood of battery fires, including 
requiring a battery management system and testing battery's 
ability to withstand real-world use scenarios (e.g., a 
vibration test, overcharging test, and short circuit test). 
However, these industry standards also require that plastic 
battery enclosures meet a flame rating. To meet these 
requirements, companies may select among plastics that may 
contain harmful flame retardant chemicals. The Committee notes 
that once a lithium-ion battery ignites, it may not be slowed 
or stopped by a flame-retarded plastic enclosure but the flame 
retardant chemicals may make the battery fire more dangerous 
for fire victims and firefighters. In the course of its work 
examining the fire hazards associated with rechargeable 
lithium-ion batteries for micromobility products, the CPSC is 
directed to consider the benefits and risks associated with use 
of commonly used flame retardant chemicals often used to meet 
such flammability requirements of plastic battery enclosures.

     ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION

    Section 501 continues a prohibition of funds to finalize,

    Section 502 is a new provision preventing CPSC from 
promulgating, implementing, administering, or enforcing any 
CPSC regulation to ban gas stoves as a class of products.

the PRAC's data analytics capabilities.
    Pandemic Analytics Center of Excellence.--In 2021, Congress 
appropriated funds that allowed the PRAC to build the Pandemic 
Analytics Center of Excellence [PACE]. In standing up the PACE, 
the PRAC's goal was to build an affordable, flexible, and 
scalable analytics platform that can support the oversight and 
law enforcement communities during their pandemic-related work 
and beyond. Funds appropriated to CIGIE will continue 
supporting the transition from the PACE into the CIGIE 
environment establishing a viable and enduring long-term IG 
community data analytics capability to support a broader 
capacity to detect fraud, waste, and abuse across all 
Government programs.

Committee recommendation................................      30,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Election Assistance Commission [EAC] was created by the 
Help America Vote Act of 2002 [HAVA] (Public Law 107-252) and 
is charged with implementing provisions of that act relating to 
the reform of Federal election administration. The EAC assists 
State and local election officials by testing and certifying 
election equipment, sharing best practices to improve the 
administration of Federal elections, and providing them with 
information about the voting system standards established by 
HAVA.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for EAC's salaries and 
expenses. The bill provides for $1,250,000 of these funds to be 
made available to the National Institute for Standards and 
Technology [NIST] to support the Technical Guidelines 
Development Committee in developing a comprehensive set of 
testing guidelines for voting system hardware and software. In 
addition, the EAC is responsible for distributing and auditing 
the use of election reform grant funding, in accordance with 
the requirements of the HAVA.
    Within 30 days after funds are made available, the Director 
of NIST (or designee) shall provide to the Executive Director 
(or Acting) of the EAC and the Committee an expenditure plan 
for the funds that includes: (1) the number and position title 
and office of each staff person doing work and amount of time 
each staff person spends on that work; (2) the specific tasks 
accomplished including length of time needed to accomplish the 
task; (3) an explanation of expenditures, including contracts 
and grants, and use of the EAC funding transferred to NIST 
(including enumeration of funds); and (4) an explanation of how 
the work accomplished relates to mandated activities under 
HAVA. Finally, the Executive Director (or Acting) of the EAC 
and Director of NIST (or designee) shall work together to set 
priorities for the work outlined in order to meet timelines.
    Language Assistance Guidance for Election Jurisdictions.--
The Committee is aware of the cost and logistical burdens 
associated with compliance with Section 203 of the Voting 
Rights Act, codified at 52 USC 1503, including the critical 
requirement that voting materials must not be provided only in 
the English language in covered jurisdictions. Moreover, the 
Committee is aware that an increasing number of jurisdictions, 
while not required to do so by such statutory provision, are 
opting to provide voting materials in languages in addition to 
English.
    In order to encourage and assist with the continued 
adoption of this practice--whether or not required by such 
statutory provision--the EAC is requested to report to the 
Committee, no later than 180 days after enactment of this act, 
regarding its work to provide guidance to State and local 
jurisdictions regarding the elements of--and resources 
available to assist with--a successful language assistance 
election program, including, but not limited to, outreach 
efforts, bilingual election personnel, and accurately-
translated and effectively-distributed materials.
    Local Election Administration Funding Feedback.--The 
Committee notes that it could be helpful for the EAC to 
understand better how States allocate resources to the local 
level and recommends that the EAC request that grantees report 
how they conduct outreach to and solicit feedback from local 
entities as well as how their reported and planned grant 
spending reflects the needs of local communities. The EAC is 
requested to report to the Committee, no later than 180 days 
after enactment of this act, any challenges the agency and 
grantees face in gathering funding information from local 
entities and any impacts of inconsistent funding.
    Barriers to Election Worker Recruitment.--The EAC is 
requested to report to the Committee, no later than 180 days 
after enactment of this act, the results of its review of 
existing responses to on the 2022 Election Administration and 
Voting Survey [EAVS] Comprehensive Report regarding election 
worker recruitment to identify barriers to election worker 
recruitment, such as threats or perceived threats to election 
workers, including any changes to the EAVS questions.
    Election Resources.--The EAC is directed to report to the 
Committee no later than 90 days after enactment of this act 
regarding what would be needed to produce comprehensive 
information on the scope of election funding needs, as reported 
by local election administrators. The report should describe 
any challenges in further ascertaining the funding needs of 
local election administrators.
    Language Resources.--The Committee commends the work that 
the EAC has done to promote non-English language resources and 
encourages any additional efforts in this regard, including 
efforts to promote such resources to local election 
administrators.

                   Federal Communications Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $390,192,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     448,075,000
Committee recommendation................................     448,075,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal Communications Commission [FCC] is charged with 
regulating interstate and international communications by 
radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. The FCC is also 
charged with promoting the safety of life and property through 
wire and radio communications. The mandate of the FCC under the 
Communications Act is to make available to all people of the 
United States a rapid, efficient, nationwide, and worldwide 
wire and radio communication service. The FCC performs five 
major functions to fulfill this charge: (1) spectrum 
allocation; (2) creating rules to promote fair competition and 
protect consumers where required by market conditions; (3) 
authorization of service; (4) enhancing public safety and 
homeland security; and (5) enforcement.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $448,075,000 
for the salaries and expenses of the FCC for fiscal year 2025, 
which will be derived from offsetting collections. The 
Committee also recommends that up to $139,000,000 be retained 
from spectrum auction activities to fund the administrative 
expenses of conducting such auctions.
    National Broadband Map.--The FCC has released versions of 
the National Broadband Map, which displays where Internet 
services are available by location across the U.S., and 
continues to improve their accuracy with input from consumers; 
State, local, and Tribal government entities; and other 
stakeholders. States and territories are required to use the 
National Broadband Map as the basis for awarding Broadband 
Equity Access and Deployment [BEAD] program funds for broadband 
deployment projects. The Committee encourages the FCC to take 
into account funding under the BEAD program in determining how 
best to use universal service funds in addressing service gaps.
    Broadband Funding Map.--Not later than 90 days after 
enactment of this act, the FCC shall provide the Committee with 
an update on the measures the FCC has taken since May 15, 2023, 
to coordinate with relevant Federal agencies and populate the 
Broadband Funding Map with the required data pursuant to 
Section 60105 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 
(Public Law 117-58). In its update, the FCC shall identify the 
extent to which each Federal agency is submitting the data 
necessary to populate the map in a timely manner and in 
coordination with state broadband offices.
    Tribal Broadband Mapping.--The Committee urges the FCC as 
part of its National Broadband Map to: (1) provide the number 
of locations associated with individual Tribal areas and; (2) 
offer an aggregated rollup of the number of Tribal locations 
and Tribal broadband availability nationwide.
    Spectrum.--The Committee recognizes the need to make 
available more high-, mid-, and low-band spectrum for the 
expansion of broadband and 5G technology and encourages the FCC 
to continue their work to hold auctions of licensed spectrum 
and make available unlicensed spectrum that allows small and 
large providers the ability to expand broadband and 5G 
technology throughout the United States.
    Universal Service Fund [USF] Reform.--In recognition of the 
rapidly changing communications industry landscape, the 
Committee urges the FCC to: (1) seek public comment this fiscal 
year on any reform proposals that have been submitted to the 
commission or otherwise previously considered that would 
promote the sustainability and viability of the universal 
service fund and resolve inequities in the current contribution 
structure (the ``Reform Objectives''); and (2) act as soon as 
possible following review of that record to adopt reforms to 
achieve the Reform Objectives. The FCC should also provide 
specific recommendations to Congress regarding additional 
authority it believes it may need to enact any reforms that are 
found to be prudent, advisable, or necessary. Additionally, the 
Committee remains concerned that far too many Americans living 
in rural areas lack access to broadband at speeds necessary to 
fully participate in the Internet age. The Committee urges the 
FCC to prioritize unserved and underserved areas in all USF 
programs.
    Pirate Radio Operators.--The Committee commends the FCC for 
implementing the PIRATE Act and taking decisive action this 
year against violators of this important law. The FCC is 
encouraged to continue prioritizing pirate radio enforcement 
and is directed to update the Committee on additional 
enforcement actions taken during the fiscal year.
    Contraband Cell Phones.--The Committee remains concerned 
regarding the exploitation of contraband cell phones in prisons 
and jails nationwide. On July 13, 2021, the FCC adopted a 
Second Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking (GN Docket No. 13-11). The Second Report and Order 
established a framework enabling designated correctional 
facility officials relying on an authorized contraband 
interdiction system to submit qualifying requests to wireless 
providers to disable contraband wireless devices in qualifying 
facilities and the FNPRM sought comment on the use and 
consideration of further technological solutions to combat 
contraband devices. While the FCC has been continually working 
with stakeholders to implement the disabling framework 
established in the Second Report and Order, it has not yet 
acted on the FNPRM. The Committee urges the FCC to explore all 
available options to mitigate this issue as it works to 
complete its rulemaking process, including the use of 
geofencing, quiet zones, network-based solutions, and beacon 
technology. The FCC is encouraged to continue its work to 
prevent contraband cell phone use in prisons and is directed to 
provide the Committee with quarterly briefings on the status of 
its implementation of the Second Report and Order and any 
status updates on topics raised in the Further Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking (FCC 21-82).
    Satellite Industry.--The Committee recognizes the FCC for 
supporting, through both licensing and regulatory oversight, 
the growing U.S. satellite industry, which includes low Earth 
orbit broadband communications networks, earth observation and 
imaging satellites, and other commercial satellite 
constellations. Given the growing industry, the Committee 
supports additional resources for the International Bureau to 
ensure it can undertake timely review of license applications 
and related work of U.S. satellite systems.
    Digital Divide.--Whether it is obtaining telehealth 
services, applying for jobs and services or educational access, 
Internet in the home is essential in today's world. The 
Committee directs the FCC to report back to the Committee no 
later than 180 days after enactment of this act on its recent 
efforts to address the digital divide.
    Robocalls.--The Committee continues to be concerned that 
scammers are increasingly using robocalls to target Americans, 
especially Older Americans, seeking to swindle them out of 
their hard-earned life savings. The Committee commends the FCC 
for demanding that the telecommunications industry adopt and 
implement a robust call authentication system to combat illegal 
robocalling and caller ID spoofing. The Committee directs the 
FCC to brief the Committee on the progress that has been made 
by industry to adopt authentication systems
    Agency Coordination.--The Committee recognizes the FCC's 
vital role in preserving and advancing universal communications 
services. The Committee encourages the FCC to coordinate 
efforts with the Rural Utility Service to optimize the use of 
limited resources and promote broadband deployment in rural 
America.
    Tribal E-Rate.--The Committee supports increasing access to 
the E-Rate programs for Tribal communities to include Tribal 
Essential Community-Serving Institutions as eligible for E-Rate 
funding. Because Tribal Essential Community-Serving 
Institutions have not been eligible since the creation of E-
Rate in 1996, Tribes have historically missed out on being 
eligible for this critical Federal program. Not later than 90 
days after enactment of this act, the FCC is directed to report 
to the Committee on the status of this issue.
    Rural Digital Opportunity Fund.--The Committee is concerned 
that certain Rural Digital Opportunity Fund [RDOF] awardees may 
not follow through on their commitments to communities slated 
to receive broadband deployment through the fund. The committee 
reminds RDOF awardees of their obligations under the program 
and directs the FCC to prepare a report within 90 days of 
enactment of this act listing (1) RDOF awardees that have not 
yet met their commitments under the program, and outlining (2) 
available administrative action to enforce the FCC's rules.
    9-8-8.--The Committee supports efforts by the FCC to 
improve access to the 9-8-8 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by 
initiating the rulemaking process for proximity-based routing 
of calls. The Committee encourages the FCC to also consider 
regulations that would ensure each provider of commercial 
mobile services transmits all calls and text messages made or 
sent to 9-8-8, including a call or text message that originates 
from a non-service-initiated handset, and that Multi-Line 
telephone systems can directly initiate a call to 9-8-8. The 
FCC will report to the Committee once the rulemaking is 
resolved.
    Chinese Internet of Things Modules.--The Committee is 
concerned that the presence of the internet of things (IoT) 
devices that are produced or controlled by the People's 
Republic of China within critical U.S. infrastructure poses 
significant national security risks. The Committee directs the 
FCC to work with its national security counterparts, such as 
the Federal Acquisitions Security Council; Departments of 
Commerce, Homeland Security, and Defense; and Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, to combat the threats from Chinese IoT devices 
in sensitive government systems. In addition, the Committee 
directs the FCC to engage with other federal agencies to raise 
their awareness of and encourage them to measure their exposure 
to the potential hazardous of Chinese IoT devices embedded in 
their telecommunications and technological infrastructure.

      ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

    Section 510 continues a provision relating to the Anti-
deficiency Act but extends the provision to cover 2 years.
    Section 511 continues a provision prohibiting the FCC from 
changing rules governing the USF regarding single connection or 
primary line restrictions.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal Labor Relations Authority [FLRA] is an 
independent administrative Federal agency created by title VII 
of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-454) 
with a mission to carry out five statutory responsibilities in 
relation to the Federal workforce: (1) determining the 
appropriateness of units for labor organization representation; 
(2) resolving complaints of unfair labor practices; (3) 
adjudicating exceptions to arbitrator's awards; (4) 
adjudicating legal issues relating to the duty to bargain; and 
(5) resolving impasses during negotiations.
    The FLRA's authority is divided by law and by delegation 
among a three-member authority and an Office of General 
Counsel, appointed by the President and subject to Senate 
confirmation; and the Federal Service Impasses Panel, which 
consists of seven part-time members appointed by the President.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $32,100,000 
for the Federal Labor Relations Authority.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This appropriation supports the authorized activities of 
the Environmental Review Improvement Fund and the Federal 
Permitting Improvement Steering Council. The Council will lead 
on-going government-wide efforts to modernize the Federal 
permitting and review process for major infrastructure projects 
and work with Federal agency partners to implement and oversee 
adherence to the statutory requirements set forth in the Fixing 
America's Surface Transportation Act of 2015.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee provides no funding for the Federal 
Permitting Improvement Steering Council's [FPISC] Environmental 
Review Improvement Fund. The Committee notes that Public Law 
117-169 provided FPISC's Environmental Review Fund with 
$350,000,000 to remain available through September 30, 2031. In 
addition, Public Law 117-58 provided $650,000 for fiscal year 
2025. FPISC's budget justification should include an accounting 
of activities accomplished in fiscal year 2024 and planned for 
fiscal year 2025 with funding from Public Law 117-169 and 
Public Law 117-58.

                        Federal Trade Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $425,700,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     535,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     450,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal Trade Commission [FTC] administers a variety of 
Federal antitrust and consumer protection laws. Activities in 
the antitrust area include detection and elimination of illegal 
collusion, anticompetitive mergers, unlawful single-firm 
conduct, and injurious vertical agreements. The FTC enforces 
consumer protection laws involving advertising, marketing, and 
financial practices; fights consumer fraud; and addresses 
privacy and identity protection concerns.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides $450,000,000 for the 
salaries and expenses of the FTC for fiscal year 2025.
    The Congressional Budget Office estimates $304,000,000 of 
collections from Hart-Scott-Rodino premerger filing fees and 
$15,000,000 of collections from Do-Not-Call fees will partially 
offset the appropriation requirement for this account. The 
total amount of direct appropriations for this account is 
therefore estimated at $131,000,000.
    Artificial Intelligence.--Artificial intelligence [A.I.] 
promises to have a profound impact on many aspects of our 
society, with vast implications for how people live, work and 
communicate. The benefits of A.I., though, are accompanied by a 
dark side; A.I. risks violating consumers' privacy, automating 
critical decisionmaking, and turbocharging imposter schemes and 
other types of scams. And, the rapid development and deployment 
of A.I. risks further locking in the market dominance of large 
incumbent technology firms. The Committee recognizes the 
resource-intensive nature of protecting consumers and promoting 
competition in an area of rapidly evolving technology and 
supports the FTC's dedication to vigorously use the full range 
of its authorities to protect consumers from deceptive and 
unfair conduct and maintain open, fair and competitive markets.
    Subscription Based Services.--The Committee commends the 
FTC on its proposed ``click to cancel'' rule to combat unfair 
or deceptive practices related to subscriptions, memberships, 
and other recurring-payment programs, making it as easy for 
consumers to cancel their enrollment as it was to first enroll. 
While negative option billing can be legitimate and beneficial 
with proper disclosure and consent, many consumers fall victim 
to deceptive tactics when marketers fail to be transparent or 
make cancellation difficult.
    Refunds for Consumers.--The Supreme Court's 2021 decision 
in AMG Capital Management, LLC, et al., v. Federal Trade 
Commission that prevents the FTC from seeking monetary redress 
under section 13(b) of the FTC Act has severely limited the 
FTC's ability to provide refunds to consumers injured by 
violations of laws it enforces. The FTC is encouraged to work 
with Congress to address this critical issue. Not later than 
120 days after enactment of this act, the FTC will provide a 
briefing to the Committee on its work related to refunds for 
consumers.
    Pharmacy Benefit Manager Study.--The FTC is encouraged to 
expeditiously execute its 6(b) study of pharmacy benefits 
managers' business practices. The study should identify acts 
and practices that may be either unlawful today or contrary to 
the public interest in obtaining safe and affordable medicines, 
and provide recommendations to Congress and the Administration.
    Interstate License Portability.--The Committee believes 
that temporary licensure flexibilities enacted during the 
COVID-19 pandemic offer a unique opportunity to continue past 
FTC research into the effect of occupational licensure on 
healthcare competition. The FTC is directed to brief the 
Committee on interstate license portability and healthcare 
competition. The Committee encourages the FTC to review 
information from multiple States on changes in healthcare 
access, patient safety, consumer satisfaction, and healthcare 
costs.
    Adoption Intermediaries.--The Committee is concerned by the 
proliferation of unlicensed adoption intermediaries 
increasingly engaging in fraudulent or deceptive practices 
concerning domestic private adoption. The Committee is aware of 
the growing practice of entities operating on a for-profit 
basis and charging exorbitant fees (e.g., ``finder's fee'' or 
``matching fee'') to hopeful adoptive parents in exchange for 
matching and/or facilitating interstate adoption services. In 
many cases, these brokers engage in illegal or deceptive 
advertising practices potentially in violation of consumer 
protection laws. The Committee encourages the FTC to 
investigate and enforce laws against unfair or deceptive 
business practices in this area. The FTC shall provide a 
briefing to the Committee no later than 180 days after 
enactment of this act on this issue.
    Contact Lens.--The Committee is concerned that a prior FTC 
rulemaking on contact lens meant to protect competition in the 
market may have had the unintended consequence of 
deprioritizing patient safety in the sale of prescription 
medical devices, including contact lenses. Enforcement actions 
by the FTC continue to focus on physician regulatory compliance 
rather than closing loopholes in the automated prescription 
verification process that can, in some circumstances, allow 
sellers to fill patient prescriptions with devices that were 
not prescribed by their doctor. Therefore, the Committee 
supports enforcement of the amended Contact Lens Rule, 
including modifications to improve the quality of automated 
calls to relieve the burden on prescribers and reduce potential 
health risks to patients from incomplete or incomprehensible 
automated telephone messages, and directs the FTC to act on 
complaints filed by eye care professionals if they receive poor 
quality, incomplete, or otherwise non-compliant automated 
telephone messages and to monitor whether this process 
appropriately protects patient safety.
    Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act.--The Committee 
supports continued implementation of the Horseracing Integrity 
and Safety Act (Public Law 116-260) to promote fairness and 
increase safety in the horseracing industry.
    Researcher Data Access.--Billions of human interactions 
occur on a small number of social media platforms, but the 
public has little insight into what occurs there other than 
what platforms choose to share. This has significant 
implications for the FTC's ability to protect consumers of 
social media platforms, including as to children's safety and 
the growth in artificial intelligence. In recent years, models 
have developed for independent researchers to study platform 
behavior, but there is significant uncertainty about the 
applicable laws and to examine best practices for researchers 
and platforms to ensure research can be conducted appropriately 
and consistent with privacy. The Committee believes the FTC has 
a role to play on these matters to protect American consumers. 
The Committee directs the FTC to work with other Federal agency 
partners to convene stakeholders best practices and codes of 
conduct for the sharing of data with independent researchers to 
study platform behavior while protecting the privacy of user 
information and the types of research and data access that 
would best inform the FTC's work.
    Junk Fees.--The Committee recognizes the financial burden 
placed on consumers by unfair and deceptive junk fees, and as 
such, encourages the FTC to finalize their proposed rule, and 
other rulemakings, that protect consumers from deceptive junk 
fees.
    Disinformation and Misinformation.--The Committee is aware 
of the proliferation of online disinformation and 
misinformation. The Committee also understands that a 
significant portion of disinformation and misinformation on 
major online platforms violates the terms of service and 
community standards under which these platforms offer service 
to users. In many cases, disinformation and misinformation 
poses risks to the health and well-being of users. The 
Committee is concerned that platforms are not meeting their own 
terms of service and community standards in policing and 
removing potentially harmful disinformation and misinformation. 
In a number of cases, platforms' algorithms are promoting 
disinformation and misinformation. The Committee encourages the 
FTC to investigate whether platforms are failing to follow 
their own terms of service and community standards with respect 
to disinformation and misinformation is an unfair or deceptive 
business practice in violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act.
    Older Adult Scams.--The Committee is concerned about the 
significant increase in consumer scams as criminals 
increasingly target consumers, including older adults. The 
Committee is concerned that Americans reported losing more than 
$10,000,000,000 to fraud in 2023, a 14 percent increase from 
2022, while older adults lost more than $1,600,000,000 to fraud 
in 2022. The Committee notes that, in 2021, the FTC lost a key 
authority to obtain equitable monetary relief for consumers. 
The advent of artificial intelligence is likely to supercharge 
fraud impacting all consumers, including older adults, leading 
to even greater economic harm. The Committee commends the FTC 
efforts to educate consumers about the increasing assortment of 
financial schemes and frauds and its efforts to track, deter 
and halt scams and frauds. The Committee encourages the FTC to 
collaborate and coordinate with usa.gov and mymoney.gov to 
update and include information for consumers to develop a 
comprehensive online resource that will serve as a centralized 
resource page for victims of financial scams and fraud, which 
includes information about recovery steps and best practices 
after being scammed.
    Funeral Rule.--The Committee recognizes the FTC's efforts 
to monitor compliance with the funeral rule. The Committee 
encourages FTC to modernize the rule so that consumers have the 
ability to access online price lists.
    Grocery Industry Consolidation.--The Committee notes that 
the consolidation of the retail grocery sector impacts food 
prices, selection, and quality for American consumers. The 
Committee encourages the FTC to address retail grocery 
consolidation, specifically in rural areas, and analyze that 
consolidation's impact to consumers as compared to non-rural 
areas.
    Closing the Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online 
Retail Marketplaces [INFORM] for Consumers Act Loophole.--The 
Integrity, Notification, and Fairness in Online Retail 
Marketplaces for Consumers Act (Public Law 117-328) requires 
online marketplaces to obtain and verify information from 
certain high-volume third-party sellers, and to ensure that 
contact information about those sellers is clearly disclosed. 
The Committee is concerned that some online marketplaces appear 
to skirt congressional intent by providing such information 
only in a foreign language, which may make it difficult for 
parties to contact a particular seller. Not later than 180 days 
after enactment of this act, the FTC is directed to provide to 
the Committee a briefing on enforcement actions the agency has 
taken, stakeholder outreach to ensure compliance, and any 
challenges to implementation of the law since it entered into 
force.
    FTC Green Guides.--House Report 118-145 directed the FTC to 
engage in comprehensive review guidelines for marketers with 
regard to environmental claims, including review of the FTC's 
Green Guides. Considering the Green Guides were last revised in 
2012 and the guidelines have not kept pace with the 
marketplace, which has seen monumental changes in environmental 
marketing, emerging technology, and the desire for industry and 
other stakeholders to innovate, the Committee directs the FTC 
to prioritize its ongoing review of the Green Guides and 
encourages it to include comprehensive consumer perception 
research surveys. The FTC is directed to provide a briefing to 
the Committee within 180 days of enactment of this act on the 
progress of the review.
    Labeling for non-flushable wipes.--The Committee recognizes 
the costly impact that flushing wet wipes has on local 
wastewater systems. The Committee encourages the Federal Trade 
Commission, in consultation with the Environmental Protection 
Agency [EPA], to address deceptive flushable wipe marketing 
claims.

                    General Services Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The General Services Administration [GSA] was established 
by the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 
(Public Law 81-152) when Congress mandated the consolidation of 
the Federal Government's real property and administrative 
services. GSA is organized into the Public Buildings Service, 
the Federal Acquisition Service, the Office of Government-wide 
Policy, and the Office of Citizen Services.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    Five-Year Plan.--GSA is reminded that the Committee expects 
to receive an updated Five-Year Plan submitted annually with 
the GSA congressional budget justification, per statute.
    Dirksen Courthouse.--The Dirksen Courthouse in Chicago is 
adjacent to vacant federally-owned buildings that are in 
critical disrepair. Funding has been provided to GSA for the 
demolition of these properties, as previous proposals for the 
private redevelopment of the properties raised significant 
concerns about increased security risks to the courthouse and 
Federal agencies located in the courthouse complex. GSA is 
commended for efforts to involve stakeholders in discussion to 
address the vacant federally-owned State Street properties that 
are in disrepair and pose security risks to the adjacent 
Dirksen Courthouse in Chicago. GSA is expected to continue to 
provide advance notice to and consult with the Committee before 
taking any actions with respect to these properties.
    Santa Teresa Land Port of Entry [LPOE].--The Committee 
notes that the Santa Teresa Land port of entry is among GSA's 
priorities and that GSA intends to initiate an Environmental 
Assessment for the project and will work with CBP to prioritize 
the port in the overall context of the LPOE portfolio.
    The National Archives at Seattle.--The Committee recognizes 
that the Federal Archives and Records Center at NARA's Sand 
Point facility, which is in disrepair, houses invaluable and 
significant Territorial, Native American, archival and Federal 
records for Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and 
outlying areas. The Federal records stored at the Sand Point 
facility hold significant value to individuals and 
organizations, including Indian Tribes and Alaska Native 
organizations, State agencies, higher education institutions, 
researchers, scientists, students, and individuals. GSA is 
directed to continue to provide advance notice to and consult 
with the Committee regarding the overall project schedules and 
at critical milestones for repair projects at the Sand Point 
facility, and before any actions requiring the movement of 
records. Further, the Committee directs GSA, in consultation 
with NARA, to continue consultation with impacted State and 
Tribal governments on the analysis and design of a future 
construction project for a long-term records storage facility 
in the Seattle, Washington region.
    Plum Island Closure and Sale.--The Committee expresses 
support for the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] and GSA's 
efforts to remediate and transfer ownership of Plum Island. 
Both agencies are encouraged to work together expeditiously on 
the Plum Island Closure and Sale project.
    Odell Horton Federal Building.--The Committee looks forward 
to receiving the feasibility study on the Odell Horton Federal 
Building in the City of Memphis and encourages GSA to start the 
study prior to the end of the calendar year.
    Stegmaier Building Security Concerns.--GSA shall work with 
the Facility Security Committee, composed of the tenant agency 
representatives, to provide to the Committee with a 
comprehensive and updated plan to address ongoing security 
concerns at the Stegmaier Building in Wilkes-Barre, 
Pennsylvania, no later than 30 days after enactment of this 
act,
    Implementation of Funds from Public Law 117-169.--
Specifying lower impact materials and products will reduce 
harmful pollution while supporting the competitiveness of US 
manufacturers. With support from Federal Government programs, 
many U.S. manufacturers are improving and upgrading their 
processes to reduce emissions. The Committee recognizes that 
GSA has been working to specify materials with a lower 
environmental impact including those identified as 
substantially lower embodied carbon by the Environmental 
Protection Agency. The Committee is aware that GSA has 
expertise in this area and specifies low-carbon building 
materials as appropriate for projects' needs, such as for 
Inflation Reduction Act-funded purchases of concrete, asphalt, 
steel, and glass. For any product category not covered by EPA's 
Interim Determination on Low-Carbon Materials under sections 
60503 and 60506 of Public Law 117-169 has not made a 
determination, GSA should work with EPA and other Buy Clean 
agencies to identify additional lower embodied carbon 
categories that may advance the goals of the Public Law 117-
169, section 60503.
    Energy Savings and Resilience.--The Committee appreciates 
work by the Public Buildings Service [PBS] to support 
resilience and cost savings through energy retrofits to GSA-
owned and managed buildings. The PBS is expected to evaluate 
and incorporate resilience, energy efficiency, and building 
systems needs for buildings it manages in order to align with 
and support tenant agency mission, for example, taking into 
account heightened need for operational resilience for Customs 
and Border Patrol buildings. The PBS should make continued and 
measurable progress on energy efficiency, water efficiency, and 
renewable energy across GSA's building portfolio to protect 
Federal assets and save taxpayer money by reducing operational 
costs.
    Addressing Child Labor Violations.--GSA shall not enter 
into a contract or agreement with any business entity that was 
found to be in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act in the 
preceding 24 months, unless the awarding Federal agency has 
considered suspension or debarment of the corporation and has 
made a determination that this further action is not necessary 
to protect the interests of the Government. Entities found to 
cause the death or serious injury of a child should be added to 
the list of suspended and listed as debarred for a period of 3 
years contractors listed at www.SAM.gov.
    Good Neighbor Program.--The Committee is aware that GSA 
expanded the use of its ``Good Neighbor Program'' to support 
local communities, including the redevelopment of Federal 
property for residential development. To better gauge the 
agency's progress and address any issues with this initiative, 
the Committee encourages the agency to compose a report, 
tracking outcomes of the program that positively impact local 
communities through enhanced economic activity, help to 
identify additional opportunities for Federal real estate 
activities to support local community priorities, and address 
concerns and obstacles within the program, including issues 
with local developers, municipalities, government agencies, 
other stakeholders, timely dispositioning of property, and 
redevelopment of Federal property.
    Bio-Based Materials.--The Committee notes that GSA's use of 
bio-based materials, including innovative wood products and 
mass timber that are naturally low in embodied carbon and do 
not require the same energy-intensive manufacturing process 
common for other building materials, should qualify for EPA's 
consideration of low embodied carbon construction materials 
under the Inflation Reduction Act [IRA] sections 60503 and 
60506. The Committee encourages the implementation and 
utilization of bio-based materials in Federal construction and 
acquisition.
    Federal Facility Design.--The Committee notes that GSA's 
P100 standards that govern the design of Federal facilities are 
aligned with both the design principles contained in the report 
published by the Ad Hoc Committee on Federal Office Space 
entitled ``Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture'' and 
dated June 1, 1962, as well as current sustainability goals for 
the Agency and the Federal Government.
    FedRAMP Implementation Plans.--The Committee directs GSA to 
provide, within 180 days of enactment, a briefing on an 
approach for obtaining cost information with cloud service 
providers [CSPs] and agencies actively engaged in the process, 
and aggregating that information to make it available for new 
program entrants.
    Covered Telecommunications Equipment and Services.--The 
Federal Acquisition Service is encouraged to take action to 
ensure that no products from Lorex, Dahua, or Huawei Technology 
are included on GSA Advantage.

     FEDERAL BUILDINGS FUND--LIMITATIONS ON AVAILABILITY OF REVENUE

    The Federal Buildings Fund [FBF] finances the activities of 
the Public Buildings Service, which provides space and services 
for Federal agencies in a relationship similar to that of 
landlord and tenant. The FBF, established in 1975, replaces 
direct appropriations by using income derived from rent 
assessments, which approximate commercial rates for comparable 
space and services. The Committee makes funds available through 
a process of placing limitations on obligations from the FBF as 
a way of allocating funds for various FBF activities.

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

    Innovative Wood Products.--The Committee supports ongoing 
efforts by GSA to address procurement of low embodied energy 
and carbon materials in Federal procurement processes. GSA 
should evaluate the use of innovative wood products as a green 
building material and potential aid in carbon storage, which 
can deliver a cost-effective and sustainable path to reduce 
excessive hazardous fuels loads and foster long-term forest 
resilience by expanding markets for low-grade and low-value 
wood, providing economic diversity for forest communities and 
reducing wildfire risk in the process. GSA is encouraged to 
continue to partner with industry to identify opportunities to 
expand utilization of these materials in Federal construction 
projects in the future.
    Wood-Based Technologies and Products.--GSA is directed to 
work with the U.S. Forest Service's Research Stations and 
Forest Products Laboratory to develop and utilize innovative 
wood-based technologies and products, such as mass timber, 
biochar, and nanoparticles for building materials, that will 
further the Administration's mission, and to brief the 
Committee on these partnering efforts no later than 180 days 
after enactment of this act.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation of $3,200,000,000 for 
building operations.
    Solar Power Procurement.--The Committee directs GSA not to 
enter into a power purchase agreement with a ``foreign entity 
of concern'' as defined by section 9901(6) of the William M. 
(Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2021 (15 U.S.C. 4651(8) consistent with 15 CFR231.104 that 
manufactures solar modules as defined by 26 U.S.C. Sec. 45X 
3(c)(3)(B)(v)). Additionally, GSA should preference procurement 
of electricity from solar modules manufactured with domestic 
content.
    Renewable Energy Outleasing.--The Committee encourages the 
GSA to work with DOE and its other Federal partners to launch a 
program to evaluate, support, facilitate and implement the use 
of renewable energy outleasing, including: (1) Conducting a 
comprehensive review of Federal agency outleasing authorities 
to identify where this approach is feasible, including an 
explanation of regional differences in energy needs and 
resources; (2) Conduct a comprehensive review of the GSA's 
owned portfolio to determine which assets are conducive to 
renewable energy outleasing based on the criteria developed by 
the Green Building Advisory Group recommendations; (3) Research 
the costs, benefits, challenges and logistics of integrating 
Federal renewable outleases into GSA's outleasing program, 
learning from the experience of State and local governments, as 
appropriate; (4) Develop resources to support renewable energy 
outleasing at GSA, including standardized processes and 
documentation for identifying underutilized assets and 
soliciting competitive proposals for renewable outleasing; and 
(5) Test the renewable energy outleasing concept with a pilot 
project for an asset that is conducive to renewable energy 
outleasing at Federal buildings.
    The Committee recommends that Section 111 of the National 
Historic Preservation Authority apply to outleasing space on 
GSA's historic buildings for photovoltaics [PVs] and EV 
charging infrastructure at Federal buildings. Under this 
authority, the proceeds shall be deposited in the historic 
property outlease budget activity account in the Federal 
Buildings Fund and may be used by GSA to defray the costs of 
administration, repair and related operating expenses incurred 
for the outleased property, or any other GSA-controlled 
property listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
    Building Information Management [BIM].--The Committee is 
concerned that GSA is not consistently applying its own BIM 
guidelines for the construction or modification of Federal 
buildings. No later than 180 days after enactment of this act, 
GSA shall report to the Committee on the steps being taken to 
ensure compliance with GSA's BIM requirements in new 
construction, major renovation, and small project renovations 
of major mechanical systems, the projects where BIM is proven 
to be most beneficial. GSA is further encouraged to engage its 
staff and contractors to ensure building projects include all 
necessary BIM files, including 2D and 3D models and As-Built 
(Record) models, which accurately reflect installed conditions. 
GSA should ensure that all files and models are compliant with 
the GSA BIM, Common Data Exchange [CDX], and Construction 
Operations Building Information Exchange [COBie] Standard.
    Lifesaving Safety Stations.--GSA is directed, in 
consultation with Department of Health and Human Services, to 
continue to work in coordination with relevant Federal agencies 
and provide them with any necessary additional guidance that 
will aid in the deployment of lifesaving Safety Stations to 
implement an automated external defibrillator, opioid reversal 
agents, and hemorrhagic control program.

                         GOVERNMENT-WIDE POLICY

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $70,474,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      74,033,000
Committee recommendation................................      71,186,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of Government-wide Policy [OGP], working 
cooperatively with other agencies, provides the leadership 
needed to develop and evaluate policies associated with high-
performance green buildings and real property, acquisition 
policy, personal property, travel and transportation 
management, vehicles and aircraft, committee and regulations 
management, and management of Federal spending data. OGP 
collaborates with partner agencies and other stakeholders to 
improve public access to policy information and support data, 
and improve transparency in Government.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $71,186,000 
for the Office of Government-wide Policy.
    Green Building Certification.--The Committee recognizes the 
importance of incorporating energy and water efficiency in 
constructing, modernizing, and operating Federal facilities to 
save taxpayer money and meet Federal goals. GSA is encouraged 
to build on its successful track record of using green building 
certification on construction projects by utilizing 
certification and recertification of existing buildings to 
ensure continued focus on excellence in performance operations 
and as a means of achieving Guiding Principles. GSA is further 
encouraged to engage its staff and contractors through 
competitions and awards as appropriate.
    Accessible Federal Technology.--The Committee recognizes a 
need to ensure that technology at Federal departments and 
agencies is accessible for people with disabilities, as 
required by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. 
Accessible Federal technology is critical for ensuring equal 
access to government programs and benefits. As the Nation's 
population ages, there will be more people with disabilities 
who rely on accessibility tools to access government resources. 
This underscores the importance of making Federal websites, 
apps, kiosks, and other technology accessible in the coming 
decades. The Committee supports GSA's request for $1,400,000 
for its Office of Technology Policy and Initiatives, under its 
Office of Government-wide Policy [OGP]. Through that office, 
GSA develops tools and training, and provides technical 
assistance, to help agencies with Section 508 compliance. It 
also provides valuable data to Congress by conducting an 
annual, Federal-wide assessment on Section 508 compliance.
    Digital Content Provenance.--The OGP shall assess the 
feasibility and advisability of implementing industry open 
technical standards for digital content provenance for both 
synthetic and non-synthetic official government digital content 
including photographs and videos owned, distributed, or 
otherwise published by Federal Government agencies. No later 
than 180 days after enactment of this act, OGP shall submit to 
the Committee a report of its findings.

    The Committee recommends $90,000,000 for the Federal 
Citizen Services Fund.

                   EXPENSES, PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriation, 2024.....................................................
Budget Estimates, 2025..................................     $11,202,000
Committee recommendation................................      19,424,177

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This appropriation provides for an orderly transfer of 
Executive leadership in accordance with the Presidential 
Transition Act of 1963, as amended. These expenses include 
costs of $1,000,000 provided for briefing personnel associated 
with the incoming administration. New appropriations are 
generally requested only in Presidential election years.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $19,424,177 for Presidential 
Transition expenses.
    Pursuant to the Presidential Transition Act, GSA will 
equally allocate funding to any eligible, non-incumbent 
President candidates for Incoming Transition and appointee 
orientation activities in a multiple possible apparent 
successful candidate scenario. Individual candidates will 
receive the amount permitted under the Presidential Transition 
Act. Funding available to a candidates (or candidates) that was 
initially identified as a possible apparent successful 
candidate will be rescinded after a sole apparent successful 
candidate is determined and that candidate (or candidates) is 
not determined to be the sole apparent successful candidate. 
Pursuant to section 3(g) of the Presidential Transition Act, in 
the case that either the Incumbent President becomes the 
President-Elect or the Incumbent Vice-President becomes the 
Vice-President elect, that incumbent is ineligible for incoming 
transition support.

                     TECHNOLOGY MODERNIZATION FUND

Appropriation, 2024.....................................................
Budget estimates, 2025..................................     $75,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      25,000,000

    The Technology Modernization Fund [TMF] is designed to be a 
full cost recovery fund that finances the transition of Federal 
agencies from antiquated legacy IT systems to modern IT 
platforms. The Fund is administered by GSA in accordance with 
recommendations made by an inter-agency TMF Board established 
by the Modernizing Government Technology Act. The Fund was 
established to provide upfront funding for modernization 
investments, which agencies are required to repay over a period 
of up to 5 years.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee includes $25,000,000 for the TMF. The 
Committee notes that the TMF received $1,000,000,000 in the 
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).
    The Committee provides $25,000,000 to support the work of 
the Technology Modernization Fund [TMF]. Established by the 
Fiscal Year 2018 NDAA (Public Law 115-91; 49 U.S.C. 11301 
note), the TMF is an innovative investment program transforming 
the way agencies deliver accessible, secure, and people-first 
services to the American public. It is administered by GSA in 
accordance with recommendations made by the interagency TMF 
board. While some larger agencies utilize Nonrecurring Expense 
Funds [NEFs] and/or Working Capital Funds [WCFs] which allow 
spending of expired balances on on-off capital investments, 
like IT, rather than have those expired funds revert to the 
Treasury, some agencies do not have this authorization. The 
Committee supports GSA's work in exploring alternative funding 
mechanisms for TMF, which could provide much-needed authorities 
to agencies without NEFs and/or WCF. GSA, in consultation with 
OMB, is directed to provide, no later than 90 days after 
enactment of this act: (1) a list of agencies that do not have 
NEF and/or WCF authority; and (2) statutory language options 
for the Committee to pursue regarding pass-the-hat authority 
for TMF that will not impact NEF and/or WCF authorities of 
agencies.

Committee recommendation................................................

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This appropriation provides funding to support electrifying 
the Federal fleet by providing the mechanism for GSA to procure 
zero emission and electric vehicles and the associated charging 
infrastructure on behalf of Federal agencies.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    While the Committee recognizes the importance of the 
procurement of zero-emission and electric passenger motor 
vehicles, and associated charging infrastructure, the Committee 
notes that Federal agencies have not prioritized this 
initiative in their respective budget requests, and due to 
budgetary constraints, the Committee has not provided funding 
for this purpose.
    Federal Fleet.--The Committee is aware of the potential 
benefits associated with the use of zero-emission vehicles 
[ZEVs] and the potential advantages of integrating ZEVs into 
the Federal fleet. The Committee encourages GSA to work with 
the Department of Energy to develop and/or adopt a Total Cost 
of Ownership [TCO] model that accounts for vehicle full 
lifecycle costs including acquisition, use, disposal, fuel, 
charging and maintenance costs, and sale proceeds to estimate 
the cost of vehicles for fleet conversion to ZEVs. The 
Committee encourages executive agencies to use this TCO model 
when leasing or purchasing vehicles from GSA or from a 
commercial entity.

       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    Section 520 authorizes GSA to use funds for the hire of 
passenger motor vehicles.
    Section 521 authorizes GSA to transfer funds within the 
Federal buildings fund to meet program requirements.
    Section 522 requires that the fiscal year 2026 budget 
request and courthouse projects meet certain standards.
    Section 523 provides that no funds may be used to increase 
the amount of occupiable square feet, provide cleaning 
services, security enhancements, or any other service usually 
provided, to any agency which does not pay the requested rate.
    Section 524 permits GSA to pay small claims less than 
$250,000 made against the Government.
    Section 525 provides that certain lease agreements must 
conform to an approved prospectus.
    Section 526 requires a GSA spending plan for each E-Gov 
project funded through the Federal Citizen Services Fund.
    Section 527 is a new provision clarifying the reimburseable 
authority of GSA's Office of Evaluation Sciences.

Committee recommendation................................       3,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Harry S Truman Scholarship Foundation is an independent 
agency established by Congress in 1975 (Public Law 93-642) to 
encourage exceptional college students to pursue careers in 
public service through the Truman Scholarship program. The 
Truman Scholarship is a merit-based award available to college 
juniors who plan to pursue careers in government or elsewhere 
in public service.
    The Foundation Trust Fund was established with a 
$30,000,000 appropriation in 1976. The authorizing legislation 
directed that this endowment be invested solely in U.S. 
Treasury securities, the interest from which has funded the 
Foundation's operating budget. With the decline in interest 
rates, the annual yield from the trust fund has declined by 
nearly 80 percent since 2002.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,000,000 for 
the Harry S Truman Scholarship Foundation.

Budget estimate, 2025...................................      56,075,000
Committee recommendation................................      52,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Merit Systems Protection Board [MSPB] was established 
by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. MSPB is an independent 
quasi-judicial agency manifested to protect Federal merit 
systems against partisan political and other prohibited 
personnel practices and to ensure adequate protection for 
employees against abuses by agency management.
    MSPB assists Federal agencies in running a merit-based 
civil service system. This is accomplished on a case-by-case 
basis through hearing and deciding employee appeals and on a 
systemic basis by reviewing significant actions and regulations 
of the Office of Personnel Management [OPM] and conducting 
studies of the civil service and other merit systems. The 
intended results of MSPB's efforts are to assure that personnel 
actions taken against employees are processed within the law 
and that actions taken by OPM and other agencies support and 
enhance Federal merit principles.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $52,000,000 
for the MSPB. The recommendation includes not more than 
$3,075,000 for adjudicating retirement appeals through an 
appropriation from the trust fund consistent with past 
practice.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The U.S. Institute for Environmental Conflict Resolution is 
a Federal program established by Public Law 105-156 to assist 
parties in resolving environmental, natural resource, and 
public lands conflicts. The Institute is part of the Morris K. 
Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation and serves as an 
impartial, nonpartisan institution providing professional 
expertise, services, and resources to all parties involved in 
such disputes. The Institute helps parties determine whether 
collaborative problem solving is appropriate for specific 
environmental conflicts, how and when to bring all the parties 
together for discussion, and whether a third-party facilitator 
or mediator might be helpful in assisting the parties in their 
efforts to reach consensus or to resolve the conflict. In 
addition, the Institute maintains a roster of qualified 
facilitators and mediators with substantial experience in 
environmental conflict resolution and can help parties in 
selecting an appropriate neutral professional.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,943,000 for 
the Environmental Dispute Resolution Fund.

              National Archives and Records Administration

    The National Archives and Records Administration [NARA] is 
the National record keeper, managing the Government's archives 
and records, and operating the Presidential libraries. NARA is 
an independent agency created by statute in 1934 and tasked 
with the unique mission to identify, access, protect, preserve, 
and make available for use the important documents and records 
of all three branches of the Federal Government. NARA 
administers the Information Security Oversight Office and is 
the publisher of the Federal Register. In addition, NARA is 
charged with additional responsibilities including mediating 
Freedom of Information Act disputes and coordinating controlled 
unclassified information.

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $427,250,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     456,327,000
Committee recommendation................................     434,650,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides for basic operations dealing with 
management of the Federal Government's archives and records, 
operation of Presidential libraries, review for 
declassification of classified security information, and other 
duties.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $434,650,000 for operating 
expenses of the National Archives and Records Administration 
for fiscal year 2025. NARA facilitates its mission of public 
access to Federal records through both physical and digital 
means. This past year, NARA had over 53 million visitors access 
their digital platforms, representing a significant increase in 
exposure to NARA's digital records versus their physical, on-
site records. By fiscal year 2026, NARA plans to have digitized 
and made available online over 500 million pages of records. 
NARA no longer accepts transfers of Federal records in analog 
formats and will accept records only in digital format with the 
appropriate metadata. This will drive exponential growth of 
NARA's digital holdings over the next 5 years and beyond.
    The Committee's recommendation supports initiatives to 
strengthen NARA's record management leadership role; address 
archival storage needs; continue to develop, build, and expand 
the IT infrastructure to conduct the business of the National 
Declassification Center established in Executive Order 13526; 
operate and maintain the Electronic Records Archive; and 
improve research room holdings protection.
    The National Archives at Seattle.--The Committee 
appreciates NARA's efforts to work with GSA and consult with 
impacted State and Tribal governments to ensure Federal records 
at the Sand Point facility are stored at a future long-term 
records storage facility in the Seattle, Washington region. The 
Committee directs NARA to provide advance notice to and consult 
with the Committee before taking any action with respect to the 
permanent relocation of archival records from the Sand Point 
facility.
    Missing Armed Forces and Civilian Personnel Records.--The 
Committee knows that since the beginning of World War II, the 
fates of roughly 80,000 uniformed and civilian personnel remain 
unknown. The families of these Americans lack the closure that 
comes from knowing how their loved ones paid the last full 
measure defending the United States. U.S. agencies have held 
records for decades that could help shed light on the ultimate 
fate of missing Armed Forces and civilian personnel. The 
Committee directs NARA to submit a plan to the Committee on how 
it plans to use the $2,000,000 provided in fiscal year 2024 to 
compile and release the records of missing Armed Forces and 
civilian personnel the agency has on hand. The Committee urges 
the agency to establish a public, searchable database. The 
Committee also urges NARA to liaise with other Federal agencies 
such as the Departments of State and Defense to request that 
they make all efforts to find and submit all available records 
of missing Armed Forces and civilian personnel to NARA so that 
they may be available to the families who have waited and 
wondered for decades about the ultimate fates of their loved 
ones.
    Alaskan Records.--NARA is commended for keeping its 
commitment to digitize the Territorial and Federal records 
generated in Alaska that are currently stored at the Sand Point 
facility in Washington; to ensure that such records are fully 
described, indexed, and posted online in an easily accessible 
and searchable format, both in the NARA Catalog and on the 
Alaska Digitization Project website, including those previously 
digitized by Family Search; and to consult with Alaska Native 
Tribes and Tribal organizations, Alaska historical societies, 
the State of Alaska, university libraries and archives, and 
other stakeholders concerning the most effective methods of 
maintaining meaningful access to these records. No later than 
180 days after enactment of this act, NARA is directed to 
submit a report to the Committees that summarizes the 
consultations that have occurred, the result of those 
consultations, a list of records that have been digitized and 
posted online to date, and a timeline for completing the 
digitization within 1 year or, if complete digitization exceeds 
1 year, then documentation for the reasons additional time will 
be necessary.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $5,920,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................       6,800,000
Committee recommendation................................       5,980,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The mission of the Office of Inspector General is to ensure 
that NARA safeguards and preserves the records of our 
Government while providing the American people with access to 
the essential documentation of their rights and the actions of 
their Government. The OIG accomplishes this by combating fraud, 
waste, and abuse through high-quality objective audits and 
investigations covering all aspects of agency operations at 
facilities nationwide. The OIG also serves as an independent, 
internal advocate for the economy, efficiency, and 
effectiveness of NARA and its operations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $5,980,000 for the OIG. The 
Committee supports a distinct account for the OIG in order to 
clearly identify the resources necessary to staff and operate 
the expanding mission-critical oversight and accountability 
functions performed by the OIG to ensure responsible NARA 
stewardship over public records.

                        REPAIRS AND RESTORATION

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $25,500,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      13,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      10,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides for the repair, alteration, and 
improvement of Archives facilities and Presidential libraries 
nationwide, and provides adequate storage for holdings. Funding 
made available will better enable NARA to maintain its 
facilities in proper condition for public visitors, 
researchers, and NARA employees, and also maintain the 
structural integrity of the buildings.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for the repairs and 
restoration account.

within the executive branch, was established by the Ethics in 
Government Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-521). The OGE is charged 
by law to provide overall direction of executive branch 
policies designed to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure 
high ethical standards for executive branch employers. The OGE 
carries out these responsibilities by promulgating and 
maintaining enforceable standards of ethical conduct for nearly 
2.7 million civilian employees in more than 130 executive 
branch agencies and the White House; overseeing a financial 
disclosure system that reaches 26,000 public and over 380,000 
confidential financial disclosure report filers; ensuring that 
executive branch ethics programs are in compliance with 
applicable ethics laws and regulations; providing direct 
education and training products to more than 4,500 ethics 
officials executive branch-wide; conducting outreach to the 
general public, the private sector, and civil society; and 
providing technical assistance to, State, local, and foreign 
governments, and international organizations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

                     Office of Personnel Management


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

                  (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF TRUST FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $219,076,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     205,237,000
Committee recommendation................................     205,237,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of Personnel Management [OPM] was established by 
Public Law 95-454, the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, 
enacted in 1978. OPM is responsible for management of Federal 
human resources policy and oversight of the merit civil service 
system. Although individual agencies are largely responsible 
for personnel operations, OPM provides a Government-wide 
framework for human resources policy, advises and assists 
agencies (often on a reimbursable basis) with workforce 
planning and personnel matters, and ensures that agency 
operations are consistent with requirements of law on issues 
such as veterans' preference and merit system compliance. OPM 
oversees examination of applicants for employment in the 
competitive service; issues regulations and policies on 
recruitment, hiring, classification and pay, training, and 
other aspects of personnel management. OPM is also responsible 
for administering the retirement, health benefits, and life 
insurance programs affecting most Federal employees, retired 
Federal employees, and their families and survivors.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a general fund appropriation of 
$205,237,000 for the salaries and expenses of OPM. The 
Committee includes funding for OPM's highest priorities, i.e., 
the new Postal Service Health Benefits program, improvements to 
Retirement Services, IT modernization improvements, and hiring.
    IT Modernization.--The Committee expects IT Modernization 
to be a high priority and expects continual progress. The 
Committee continues a prior directive for OPM to provide 
quarterly briefings to the Committees on Appropriations of the 
House and Senate on its IT progress.
    Retirement Services.--OPM is to be commended for the 
progress made in processing the retirement backlog. OPM shall 
continue to brief the Committee quarterly on OPM's efforts and 
progress and expects to continue to receive monthly reports on 
the pace of retirement processing.
    Government-wide Federal Workforce Training on Tribal 
Consultation.--The Committee notes that it is critical that 
Federal employees understand that they have a responsibility to 
uphold Federal trust and treaty responsibilities to Tribes. 
This includes engaging in regular, meaningful, and robust 
consultation with Tribes in the development of Federal policies 
that impact Tribes and requires understanding the Nation-to-
Nation relationship and Tribal sovereignty. The Committee 
supports ongoing efforts by OPM and the Department of the 
Interior [DOI] to develop a training module regarding Tribal 
consultation for agency employees who work with Tribes or on 
policies that impact Tribes and directs OPM, in consultation 
with DOI, to include robust material covering Tribal treaties 
and reserved rights in such training modules.
    Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] Police.--Senate 
Report 118-61 directed the OPM to work with the Director of the 
FBI to develop cost estimates associated with making the rates 
of pay, salary schedule, pay provisions and other retirement 
benefits to members of the FBI Police equivalent to other 
Federal law enforcement divisions that perform similar duties 
and have similar scope of work as the FBI Police. As such, the 
Committee directs OPM, in conjunction with the FBI, to publish 
those cost estimates to the Committee no later than 120 days 
after enactment, along with any additional statutory changes 
needed to properly implement any elevated wage and retirement 
benefits.
    Federal Hiring Process.--The Committee is concerned with 
the length of time it takes the Federal Government to hire 
qualified employees and directs OPM to continue to find ways to 
reduce barriers to Federal employment and reduce delays in the 
hiring process. Rigid rules and long delays in the hiring and 
interview process discourage top candidates from applying for 
or accepting Federal positions. Specifically, the Committee 
encourages OPM to seek input from hiring managers on the type 
of challenges they face, improvements that could be made to 
make the Federal hiring process more efficient and effective, 
and which hiring authorities they find most beneficial.
    Timely Agency Responsiveness to USAJobs.gov Applicants.--
The Committee is concerned that applicants for Federal jobs on 
USAJobs.gov do not always receive timely communications 
regarding their application status and recognizes that agencies 
are responsible for sending notifications to applicants about 
their application status. The Committee strongly encourages 
agencies to take appropriate measures, including consulting 
with OPM on how agencies can fully utilize the tools and 
technology available to them, to ensure the delivery of timely 
communications to applicants about their application status 
with notifications for each applicable stage of the hiring 
process--including application acceptance, determination of 
qualifications, issuance of certificates to the hiring manager, 
and selection or cancellation of announcement. The Committee 
further encourages OPM to provide guidance to agency personnel 
that use USAJOBS.gov on how to best to communicate position 
status with applicants.
    Locality Pay Areas.--The Committee recognizes that OPM is 
responsible for overseeing the implementation and 
administration of the Federal Wage System [FWS] in consultation 
with other agencies, appropriate labor organizations, and the 
advice of the Federal Prevailing Rate Advisory Committee 
[FPRAC]. The Committee was encouraged by the December 2023 
recommendation by FPRAC to harmonize locality pay areas for 
hourly and salaried Federal workers, and it encourages OPM to 
issue regulations to implement the recommendation as soon as 
possible.
    Pathways and Third-Party Internships.--The Committee notes 
that Federal internships represent an opportunity for the 
Federal Government to attract early career talent to public 
service. To evaluate the effectiveness of Federal internships 
and the Pathways Internship Program, OPM is directed to report 
to Congress on the fiscal year 2023 Pathways data collected 
from agencies pursuant to 5 CFR 362.109, no later than 180 days 
after enactment of this act, and to make the report available 
to the public on its website. OPM is further directed to 
provide a briefing to the appropriations and authorizing 
committees on how it tracks data on Pathways, non-Pathways and 
third-party internships. This briefing should include 
information on the data OPM receives from agencies, what data 
OPM tracks and whether that data contains information on the 
schools or institutions that internship participants come from, 
which agencies they work for, and where they are geographically 
located. If this information is not tracked, OPM should 
indicate how this data could be collected.
    First Responder Protective Uniforms.--The Committee is 
concerned about the increasing costs of agency-mandated 
protective uniforms. Agencies that require employees to wear 
uniforms constructed with advanced materials integrated with 
protective qualities should use their authority under 5 U.S.C. 
7903 to provide protective uniforms for their employees. OPM is 
urged to adjust the uniform allowance for non-protective 
uniforms using the appropriate indices related to such costs.
    Railroad Safety Occupational Series.--OPM, after receiving 
preliminary data from the Federal Railroad Administration [FRA] 
to reflect current FRA disciplines, technological advancements 
and operational conditions, is urged to work with FRA to 
complete the study and classification policy review in a timely 
manner.
    Providing Greater Awareness of Federal Job Opportunities 
for Military Spouses.--The Committee is aware that eligibility 
determinations for the military spouse non-competitive hiring 
authority occur on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of 
each individual Federal hiring authority. As a result, military 
spouses may not have maximized applicable Federal hiring 
authorities and exceptions available to them. The Committee 
notes the challenge to recruit and retain military spouse 
employees and OPM's efforts to facilitate greater military-
connected hiring across the Federal workforce and expand 
opportunities for military-connected spouses, caregivers, and 
survivors, including for spouses of disabled and deceased 
veterans. The Committee also notes eligible spouses may not be 
aware of the non-competitive appointment authority, their 
eligibility, and how to leverage it when applying for Federal 
jobs.
    OPM is instructed to further explore ways to advance hiring 
outcomes by providing eligible spouses information about the 
non-competitive hiring authority and Federal job opportunities 
and giving agencies greater access to and identification of 
these pools of candidates.
    Official Worksite for Locality Pay Purposes.--OPM is 
strongly urged to issue guidance to agencies, not later than 
120 days after enactment of this act, including: (1) a review 
of existing regulations and guidance on determining a 
teleworker's official worksite for purposes of locality pay 
under 5 U.S.C. 5304; (2) supplemental guidance and examples to 
assist agencies in developing detailed policies on determining 
a teleworker's official worksite for purposes of locality pay 
that are consistent with OPM regulations and guidance described 
in (1) and developed in consultation with agency Chief Human 
Capital Officers; and (3) a recommendation that agencies 
provide guidance/training to supervisors and employees, conduct 
surveys, and/or perform reviews to ensure that OPM's locality 
pay regulations are being followed, as applicable.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The U.S. Office of Special Counsel [OSC] provides a safe 
channel for Federal employees to report waste, fraud, abuse, 
and threats to public health and safety.
    The OSC was first established on January 1, 1979. From 1979 
until 1989, it operated as an autonomous investigative and 
prosecutorial arm of the Merit Systems Protection Board. In 
1989, Congress enacted the Whistleblower Protection Act (Public 
Law 101-12), which made OSC an independent agency within the 
executive branch. In 1994, the Uniformed Services Employment 
and Reemployment Rights Act (Public Law 103-353) became law. It 
defined employment-related rights of persons in connection with 
military service, prohibited discrimination against them 
because of that service, and gave OSC new authority to pursue 
remedies for violations by Federal agencies.
    Enactment of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act 
(Public Law 112-199) in November 2012 significantly expanded 
the jurisdiction of the OSC and the types of cases the OSC is 
required by law to investigate.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $31,904,000 
for OSC.

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $2,188,658,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   2,602,400,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,231,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] is an 
independent agency responsible for administering many of the 
Nation's laws regulating the areas of securities and finance.
    The mission of the SEC is to administer and enforce Federal 
securities laws in order to protect investors, maintain fair, 
orderly, and efficient markets, and promote capital formation. 
This includes ensuring full disclosure of appropriate financial 
information, regulating the Nation's securities markets, and 
preventing and policing fraud and malpractice in the securities 
and financial markets.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total budget (obligational) 
authority of $2,231,000,000 for the salaries and expenses of 
the SEC, to be fully derived from fee collections.
    Fee Offset Nature of Account.--Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank 
Act, transaction fees receipts are treated as offsetting 
collections equal to the amount of the appropriation.
    Reserve Fund Notifications.--The Committee appreciates the 
SEC's adherence to its obligation to notify Congress of the 
date, amount, and purpose of any obligation from the Fund 
within 10 days of such obligation. The Committee directs the 
SEC, in its written notifications to Congress required by 15 
U.S.C. 78d(i)(3) regarding amounts obligated from the SEC 
Reserve Fund, to specify: (1) the balance in the fund remaining 
available after the obligation is deducted; (2) the estimated 
total cost of the project for which amounts are being deducted; 
(3) the total amount for all projects that have withdrawn 
funding from the Reserve Fund since fiscal year 2012; and (4) 
the estimated amount, per project, that will be required to 
complete all ongoing projects which use funding derived from 
the Reserve Fund.
    Mandatory Arbitration Clauses.--The Committee is concerned 
about proposals that would remove shareholder rights, and make 
companies less accountable to investors. The Committee 
appreciates the Commission's position that some mandatory 
arbitration clauses violate the anti-waiver provisions of 
securities laws. By denying investors their right to sue in the 
courts, some mandatory arbitration would remove a critical 
remedy for harmed investors and significantly reduce the 
accountability of wrongdoers who break the law. Therefore, the 
Committee encourages the Commission to maintain the 
Commission's position that some mandatory arbitration clauses 
violate the anti-waiver provisions of the securities laws. The 
Committee is aware that virtually all securities broker-dealers 
require their customers to agree that disputes that may arise 
between them must be resolved through arbitration rather than 
through lawsuits filed in Federal or State courts.
    Holding Foreign Companies Accountable [HFCA] Act.--HFCA 
requires certain issuers of securities to establish that they 
are not owned or controlled by a foreign government. The 
Committee encourages the SEC to implement the disclosure and 
submission requirements of the HFCA Act. The Committee requests 
a briefing from the SEC no later than 90 days after enactment 
on the status of implementing the legislation.
    Investor Advisory Committee.--The Committee recognizes the 
SEC has the challenging responsibility of maintaining the 
integrity of our capital markets, fostering capital formation, 
and ensuring that America's investors are protected. Investors 
are a critical pillar of our capital markets, especially retail 
investors who often invest for the long-term with a view 
towards financing a child's education, purchasing a home, or 
preparing for retirement. Congress created the Investor 
Advocate and the Investor Advisory Committee to provide the 
Commission with a direct and representative investor 
perspective. The SEC should make every effort to hear from all 
investors, especially retail investors, and the Investor 
Advisory Committee should be selected in a fair manner with a 
robust process to ensure this broad perspective. Therefore, the 
Committee encourages the Chairman of the SEC to establish a 
transparent process for selecting members of the Investor 
Advisory Committee, such as a staff-led process for identifying 
candidates that: (1) incorporates the perspectives of each 
member of the Commission; (2) ensures that a wide array of 
market and investor perspectives are represented; and (3) 
reflects the SEC's commitment to expanding opportunity for all 
Americans in our capital markets.
    Data Security and the Consolidated Audit Trail.--The SEC 
has access to an increasing amount of market-sensitive data and 
customer information including through the data collected by 
Self Regulatory Organizations [SROs] via the the Consolidated 
Audit Trail [CAT]. The Committee directs the SEC to provide a 
briefing 90 days after enactment explaining the safeguards in 
place to protect information that is collected by SROs in CAT 
(``CAT Data''--See CAT NMS Plan, supra note 3, at Section 1.1.) 
and accessed by the SEC, the number of SEC employees who have 
access to CAT data containing personally identifiable 
information [PII], under what circumstances SEC employees can 
access both CAT data containing PII and CAT transaction data 
and the cost of maintaining SEC access to CAT.
    Conflict Minerals.--The Committee notes that section 1502 
of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection 
Act (Public Law 111-203) relating to conflict minerals and 
requiring supply chain due diligence has furthered important 
U.S. policy goals in the Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC], 
had important positive effects on the security of the people of 
Eastern Congo, and gained the support and confidence of 
investors in companies using minerals from the region. 
Recognizing that in April 2014, a U.S. court of appeals 
invalidated parts of the rule relating to ``DRC conflict free'' 
or ``DRC conflict undeterminable'' labeling and reporting 
requirements, the Committee notes that the law and the SEC rule 
otherwise broadly remain in place and in effect; thus, the 
inquiry and due diligence reporting measures for companies 
listed with the SEC on source and chain of custody are separate 
and distinct, and they must each be enforced as required by 
law.
    Financial Industry Regulatory Authority [FINRA].--The 
Committee understands that FINRA has failed to undertake steps 
to address unpaid arbitration awards by its members. The SEC 
shall continue to engage with FINRA to identify ways to reduce 
and eliminate the occurrence of unpaid awards.
    Social Media Disclosures.--The Committee is concerned that 
limited public information exists surrounding the degree to 
which publicly traded technology companies may be reliant on 
revenues supported by privacy concerns, disinformation, and 
misinformation, and encourages the SEC to consider requirements 
for public companies operating social media platforms to 
disclose additional information about those operations.
    Critical Supply Chains.--The Committee is concerned that 
financial disclosures do not include factors relevant to the 
public related to domestic capital investment, the job quality 
of nonsupervisory workers in the United States, and the re-
shoring to the United States of critical supply chains. The 
Committee encourages the SEC to consider such factors in future 
rules
    Rulemakings and the People's Republic of China.--The 
Committee is concerned about the special circumstances 
presented by issuers based in the People's Republic of China. 
The Committee encourages the SEC to consider the People's 
Republic of China's gross human rights abuses and lack of 
environmental protection in future rulemakings.

                        Selective Service System


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $31,300,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      33,499,000
Committee recommendation................................      33,550,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Selective Service System is an independent Federal 
agency, operating with permanent authorization under the 
Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 451 et seq.). 
The agency is not part of the Department of Defense, but its 
basic mission is to be prepared to supply manpower to the Armed 
Forces adequate to ensure the security of the United States 
during a time of national emergency. Since 1973, the Armed 
Forces have relied on volunteers to fill military manpower 
requirements. However, the Selective Service System remains the 
primary vehicle by which personnel will be brought into the 
military if Congress and the President should authorize a 
return to the draft.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $33,550,000 
for the Selective Service System.

                     Small Business Administration


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $361,235,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     396,907,000
Committee recommendation................................     385,615,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Salaries and Expenses appropriation provides for the 
overall operating expenses of the Small Business Administration 
[SBA], including compensation and benefits for staff located at 
headquarters, regional, and district offices, rent and other 
agency-wide costs, and operating costs for program offices, 
including the Office of Capital Access, Office of Credit Risk 
Management, Office of Entrepreneurial Development, Office of 
Investments and Innovation, Office of Government Contracting 
and Business Development, Office of International Trade, Office 
of Management and Administration, and for other program and 
supporting offices.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides $385,615,000 for 
salaries and expenses of the SBA.
    The Committee recommends at least $12,000,000 for the SBA's 
Office of Credit Risk Management [OCRM] for lender oversight 
and risk-based reviews. Funding for the Office of General 
Counsel has been provided separately from this total. In 
support of its mission to analyze and manage the risk of the 
SBA's loan portfolio, OCRM performs performance analytics to 
identify and understand lender performance trends and assess 
the quality of the overall loan portfolio. The Committee finds 
that OCRM must play a key role in eliminating waste, fraud, and 
abuse in the SBA lending programs and protecting taxpayer 
losses on loans by ensuring lenders comply with procedures that 
mitigate the risk of loss under the SBA's loan programs.
    Veteran Small Business Certification Program [VetCert].--
The recommendation includes $15,500,000 to support VetCert. 
VetCert verifies veteran eligibility of firms owned by veteran-
owned small businesses and service-disabled veteran-owned small 
businesses. The Committee will continue to work with SBA to 
ensure the agency has the resources necessary to sustain this 
program.
    Coordinator of Employee Ownership.--The Committee 
recognizes that employee-owned businesses are uniquely 
structured and provide wide-ranging benefits for businesses, 
workers, and local communities. The Committee encourages the 
SBA to designate a Coordinator of Employee Ownership who will 
develop expertise in employee ownership structures, including 
Employee Stock Ownership Plans and cooperatives, in cooperation 
with Small Business Development Centers. The Committee further 
encourages the Coordinator to promote the use of the SBA's 
financing programs for conversions to employee-owned 
structures, work with the Office of Investment and Innovation 
and the Office of Capital Access to increase the number of 
Small Business Investment Companies and 7(a) lenders, 
respectively, providing financing for employee-ownership 
conversions, and coordinate with employee ownership 
stakeholders.
    SBA Contracting Officers.--The Committee notes the 
importance of procurement center representatives [PCRs], and 
encourages the SBA to hire adequate levels of staff to carry 
out this vital function.
    Succession Planning Toolkit.--The Committee encourages the 
SBA to develop a publicly available online toolkit that can be 
used by the SBA and its resource partners, including Small 
Business Development Centers, to guide small business owners 
through the process of creating a business succession plan, 
connect owners with relevant resources and provide information 
on employee ownership options, including Employee Stock 
Ownership Plans and cooperatives, as a succession planning 
strategy.
    USDA-SBA Memorandum of Understanding.--The Committee 
supports efforts to better help rural small businesses and 
encourages the SBA to continue collaborating with the U.S. 
Department of Agriculture [USDA] to improve service delivery, 
advice and assistance for small businesses, especially those in 
rural areas, including through the activities outlined in the 
memorandum of understanding signed November 20, 2023. The 
Committee directs the SBA, in collaboration with USDA, to 
submit a report to the Committee on Appropriations of the 
Senate, the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship of 
the Senate and the Committee on Small Business of the House of 
Representatives on the activities undertaken as a result of the 
memorandum of understanding. The report should include an 
update on the identification of synergies between business loan 
programs, barriers to the SBA programs for cooperatives and 
opportunities to collaborate on technical assistance, 
especially with respect to exportation and procurement.
    SBIC Collaboration.--The SBA is directed to continue its 
collaborative effort with the SEC to ensure effective oversight 
of SBICs and the protection of SBIC investors.
    Nonprofit Child Care Support.--The Committee recognizes the 
critical role of child care providers in supporting the economy 
and workforce, and encourages the Administrator to consider 
allowing qualified nonprofit child care providers access to all 
SBA loan programs that for-profit child care providers may 
utilize. A qualified nonprofit provider must be in compliance 
with State licensing requirements, operate as a 501(c)(3) 
organization, primarily engage in providing child care for 
children from birth through school age including preschool or 
prekindergarten or care for school-age children outside of 
school hours or schedule, and comply with background checks for 
each employee and regular volunteer.
    District Office Staffing Levels.--The Committee recognizes 
that operational resources and adequate staffing at district 
offices is essential to the SBA's mission, particularly in 
rural areas where small businesses may lack connectivity to the 
Internet. District offices offer a critical line of 
communication and source of advice for small businesses. The 
SBA is encouraged to ensure each State has no fewer than seven 
full-time equivalent staffers across its district offices, and 
shall speedily fill vacant positions below that level.
    Small Business Broadband Assistance.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of high-speed Internet and new 
technologies to the growth and success of small businesses and 
notes that many small businesses could benefit from additional 
advice in adopting and utilizing these technologies.
    Place of Business Requirement.--The Committee notes that 
Native and other minority-owned businesses have concerns about 
the effect and practicality of implementing the rule 
promulgated by the Administrator for the SBA 8(a) Business 
Development Program that proposes to clarify the place of 
business requirement in 13 CFR 124.501(k). The Committee 
expects the SBA to work closely with its authorizers on this 
issue.
    Native Hawaiian Organizations.--The Committee is concerned 
that Native Hawaiian Organizations [NHOs] are not treated as 
8(a) eligible entities by all Federal agencies, and expects the 
SBA to work closely with Congress to provide equal 
opportunities to NHOs.
    Paid Leave Tax Credit Outreach and Awareness.--Of the funds 
provided under this heading, not to exceed $1,000,000 shall be 
used for SBA to educate small businesses about the availability 
of the Paid Family and Medical Leave tax credit under Section 
45S of the Internal Revenue Code [IRC] of 1986. In partnership 
with district offices, the SBA shall conduct outreach which 
could include targeted communications, education, training, and 
technical assistance to relevant parties.
    Women-Owned Small Business [WOSB] Certification Delays.--
The Committee is concerned with the existing WOSB program 
certification and recertification process, which has led to 
unacceptable delays for WOSBs to become certified or 
recertified. The Committee encourages the SBA to hire adequate 
levels of staff to carry out this vital function. No later than 
90 days after enactment of this act, SBA is directed to brief 
the Committee on its plan to address the backlog of WOSB 
applications.

                  ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $316,800,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     320,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     330,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The SBA's Entrepreneurial Development Programs support non-
credit business assistance to entrepreneurs. The appropriation 
includes funding for a vast network of resource partners 
located throughout the Nation, including Small Business 
Development Centers, Women's Business Centers, SCORE 
(previously Service Corps of Retired Executives) chapters, and 
Veterans Business Outreach Centers. This resource network and 
several other SBA programs provide training, counseling, and 
technical assistance to entrepreneurs.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides $330,000,000 for the 
SBA Entrepreneurial Development Programs. The Committee 
recommendations are displayed in the following table:

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

    The Committee directs that the amounts provided for SBA's 
Entrepreneurial Development Programs, as specified in the table 
above, shall be administered in the same manner as previous 
years and shall not be reduced, reallocated, or reprogrammed to 
provide additional funds for other programs, initiatives, or 
activities without advance approval from the Committee.
    Small Business Development Centers.--The Committee 
recommends $143,000,000 for the Small Business Development 
Center [SBDC] Program for fiscal year 2025. SBDCs play an 
integral role in the SBA resource partner network that supports 
1.2 million small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs 
each year. Through more than 900 service centers, SBDCs provide 
management and technical assistance in key areas to small 
business clients throughout the Nation. The SBDC program is the 
largest grant program in the SBA's portfolio.
    SBDC Minimum Funding Awards.--SBA should assess the minimum 
funding levels awarded to States and U.S. territories through 
the SBDC Program to ensure adequate resources are provided to 
meet the demand of each State. The SBA shall provide a report 
on its recommendations to the Committee within 180 days of 
enactment of this act.
    SCORE.--The Committee recommends $18,000,000 for the SCORE 
Program (formerly known as the Service Corps of Retired 
Executives). The Committee is encouraged by improvements the 
SCORE program has made to address issues identified in the SBA 
Inspector General's audit of SCORE's fiscal year 2017 award and 
supports the program's efforts to improve operational 
accountability and service.
    Cybersecurity for Small Businesses.--The Committee 
recommends $3,000,000 for a Cybersecurity Assistance Pilot 
Program that will competitively award up to three grants to 
States to provide new small businesses with access to 
cybersecurity tools during their formative and most vulnerable 
years.
    Women's Business Centers.--The Committee recommends 
$28,000,000 for Women's Business Centers [WBCs]. The WBC 
program funds more than 100 nonprofit organizations that 
provide quality advising and training services to women 
entrepreneurs in socially or economically disadvantaged 
communities in an effort to help women start their own 
businesses. Participating organizations must match the Federal 
funding with one non-Federal dollar for every two Federal 
dollars during the first 2 years and on a one-to-one basis 
thereafter. The Committee recommends that the SBA refine and 
share its quarterly dashboard of performance goals with all 
WBCs for transparency and coordinate services with other 
business assistance programs to avoid duplication.
    Veterans Outreach Programs.--The Committee supports funding 
for veterans programs and provides $19,000,000 for veterans 
outreach, which includes funding for Veterans Business Outreach 
Centers, Boots to Business, Veteran-Women Igniting the Spirit 
of Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans 
with Disabilities, and Boots to Business Reboot.
    Growth Accelerators.--The Committee recommends $10,000,000 
for growth accelerators-organizations that help entrepreneurs 
start and scale their business. The Committee recognizes the 
success of Growth Accelerators in spreading the growth of 
start-ups in areas of the country where funding from private 
capital is scarce.
    Federal and State Technology Partnership Program.--The 
Committee recommends $10,000,000 for the Federal and State 
Technology [FAST] Partnership Program in fiscal year 2025. The 
Committee supports the FAST program's efforts to reach 
innovative, technology-driven small businesses and to leverage 
the Small Business Innovation Research [SBIR] and Small 
Business Technology Transfer [STTR] program to stimulate 
economic development. The FAST program is particularly 
important in States that are seeking to build high technology 
industries but are underrepresented in the SBIR/STTR programs. 
The Committee directs SBA to consider prioritizing awards to 
States that receive below the National median average of SBIRs/
STTRs.
    Native American Outreach.--The SBA's Office of Native 
American Affairs works to ensure that American Indians, Alaska 
Natives, and Native Hawaiians seeking to create, develop, and 
expand small businesses have full access to SBA's 
entrepreneurial development, lending, and procurement programs. 
The Committee recommends $5,300,000 for SBA's Native American 
Outreach program. The Committee directs the Assistant 
Administrator for the Office of Native American Affairs [ONAA] 
to continue to manage Native American Outreach activities. The 
Assistant Administrator is responsible for organizing multi-
agency workshops and Native supplier initiative events around 
the country, and facilitating Native contractors' participation 
in SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program, HUB Zone, Women's 
Business Centers, Veteran and Service-Disabled Veteran-owned 
Small Business programs, and other small business contracting 
programs.
    HUBZone.--The Historically Underutilized Business Zones 
[HUBZone] program helps small businesses in urban and rural 
communities gain preferential access to Federal procurement 
opportunities. The Committee recommends $4,000,000 for the 
HUBZone program. The Committee is concerned by the SBA 
Inspector General's findings that the SBA Program Office's 
oversight did not ensure that it certified only eligible firms 
into the HUBZone program due to weakness in the certification 
process. The Committee encourages the SBA to update and 
implement HUBZone guidance, as well as implement a plan to 
mitigate information technology issues affecting the HUBZone 
certification process.
    Small Business Employee Ownership and Cooperatives 
Promotion Program.--The Committee notes that the Main Street 
Employee Ownership Act, which Congress enacted in section 862 
of Public Law 115-232, requires the SBA to establish a Small 
Business Employee Ownership and Cooperatives Promotion Program 
to offer technical assistance and training on the transition to 
employee ownership through cooperatives and qualified employee 
trusts. SBA is urged to fully implement this provision and 
report to the Committee on the status of implementation no 
later than 90 days after the enactment of this act.

inefficiencies in SBA programs and operations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides $47,020,000 for the 
OIG. The Committee encourages the OIG to continue routine 
analysis and reporting on the SBA's oversight of the 7(a) loan 
program; effective management of counseling and training 
services offered by partner organizations; and the SBA's 
management of the Disaster Assistance Program.

                     BUSINESS LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $168,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     165,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     165,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The SBA administers a variety of loan programs to expand 
entrepreneurs' access to capital to start and grow small 
businesses. The 7(a) loan program is the Federal Government's 
primary business loan program to assist small businesses in 
obtaining financing when they do not qualify for traditional 
credit. Under 7(a), the SBA guarantees a portion (typically 75 
to 90 percent) of loans made by private lenders. Under the 504 
program, the SBA supports loans to small businesses for 
financing major fixed assets such as real estate and major 
equipment. The 504 program combines SBA guaranteed loans made 
by nonprofit Certified Development Companies with loans from 
private lenders to provide financing for small businesses.
    Under the SBIC program, the SBA partners with 
professionally managed investment funds, called SBICs. The 
SBICs combine their own capital with funds borrowed with an SBA 
guarantee to make investments in small businesses.
    Under the Microloan program, the SBA provides funds to 
specialized nonprofit, community-based intermediary lenders 
which provide small loans for working capital, inventory, and 
other operating expenses.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides $165,000,000 for the 
Business Loans Program Account for fiscal year 2025.
    The recommendation provides $162,000,000 for administrative 
expenses, which may be transferred to and merged with SBA 
salaries and expenses to cover the common overhead expenses 
associated with the business loans programs.
    The recommendation also provides $3,000,000 for the 
Microloan direct loan program. An additional amount of 
$42,000,000 is recommended under the heading ``Entrepreneurial 
Development Programs'' for technical assistance grants to 
Microlending intermediaries.
    7(a) Criminal History Survey.--The Committee encourages the 
SBA to conduct a survey of 7(a) lenders relating to their 
practices on the use of criminal history when determining 
whether to approve a 7(a) loan or a similarly sized commercial 
loan that is not guaranteed by the Administration, and whether 
these practices changed following the implementation of the 
``Criminal Justice Reviews for the SBA Business Loan Programs 
and Surety Bond Guaranty Program'' rule when finalized. The 
intent of this report is to understand market gaps as it 
relates to this population. A report detailing the results of 
such a survey should be submitted to the Committee on 
Appropriations of the Senate, the Committee on Small Business 
and Entrepreneurship of the Senate and the Committee on Small 
Business of the House of Representatives.

                     DISASTER LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $175,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     523,674,000
Committee recommendation................................     523,674,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The SBA provides low-interest, long-term loans to 
businesses of all sizes, homeowners, renters, and nonprofit 
organizations affected by disasters. The SBA disaster loans are 
the primary form of Federal assistance for the repair and 
rebuilding of non-farm, private sector disaster losses. The SBA 
makes two types of disaster loans. Physical disaster loans are 
for permanent rebuilding and replacement of uninsured or 
underinsured disaster-damaged privately owned real and/or 
personal property and are available to businesses of all sizes, 
nonprofit organizations, homeowners, and renters. Economic 
Injury Disaster Loans provide necessary working capital for 
small businesses and nonprofit organizations until normal 
operations resume after a disaster.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $523,674,000 for the 
administrative costs of the Disaster Loans program. Of the 
total recommendation, $492,000,000 is designated by the 
Congress as disaster relief pursuant to the Balanced Budget and 
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
    Low Snow.--The Committee recognizes the prominent role that 
the SBA plays in providing Federal resources to small 
businesses during ongoing Federal drought disaster 
declarations. It also acknowledges the work and relief SBA has 
provided in making the Economic Injury Disaster Loans [EIDL] 
available to small businesses because of ongoing Federal 
drought declarations. However, there are small businesses that 
are experiencing warm winters and low to no snow but aren't 
qualifying for EIDL or being declined in the drought 
declaration because the declarations authorize assistance for 
small business concerns affected by drought, but not for small 
businesses affected by low snow accumulation. Under the Small 
Business Act, warm winters and low to no snow are not included 
as a definition under ``disaster.'' As such, no later than 270 
days after enactment of this act the GAO is directed to brief 
the Committee, with a report to follow by a mutually agreed 
upon date, on: (1) work the SBA is already doing to address 
concerns for small businesses experiencing low to no snow 
accumulation; (2) any executive or legislative recommendations 
for SBA and Congress to consider so that small businesses 
impacted by low to no snow accumulation and warm winters can 
seek and receive suitable Federal relief; and (3) other Federal 
programs or resources available to assist small businesses that 
are negatively impacted by low to no snow accumulation.
    SBA Pandemic Collections.--No later than 90 days after the 
date of enactment of this act, the Administrator of the SBA 
shall submit a report to the committees of jurisdiction on the 
debt collection practices of loans issued in response to the 
COVID-19 pandemic, which should include-an assessment of net 
impact to recoveries of taxpayer funds, broken out by program: 
Paycheck Protection Program; COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster 
Loan; and Economic Injury Disaster Loan; the anticipated 
increase to SBA loan servicing and administrative costs 
incurred for each of the three SBA programs; and a summary of 
the funds recovered so far as a result of the agency's decision 
to institute collections on COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster 
Loan and Paycheck Protection Program loans under $100,000.
    2017 Hurricane Recommendations.--The Committee recognizes 
that the SBA has implemented two recommendations made by GAO in 
its March 2020 Disaster Loan Processing report and looks 
forward to monitoring the implementation of the remaining 
recommendations.
    Disaster Loan Assistance Portal.--The Committee is aware of 
issues raised by disaster survivors related to difficulties 
navigating the current Disaster Loan Assistance Portal. The 
Committee encourages the SBA to consider developing a Disaster 
Loan Mobile Application. This application would be available 
for use by applicants to submit information related to their 
loan and check the status of their application.

                   PAYMENT TO THE POSTAL SERVICE FUND

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $49,750,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      70,486,000
Committee recommendation................................      50,253,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The United States Postal Service does not depend upon 
taxpayer subsidies through discretionary appropriations for its 
operations but generates nearly all of its annual gross 
operating revenue by charging users of the mail for the costs 
of postage, products, and services. Funds provided to the 
Postal Service in the Payment to the Postal Service Fund 
include appropriations for revenue forgone including providing 
free mail for the blind, and for overseas absentee voting.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends appropriations totaling 
$50,253,000 for payment to the Postal Service Fund to 
compensate for revenue forgone on free mail for the blind and 
for overseas voters.
    Postal Consolidations and Network Changes.--The Committee 
is deeply concerned with the permanent changes to the 
facilities and network of the United States Postal Service 
being implemented on or after January 1,2023, including 
consolidation and partial consolidation of facilities, 
aggregation of operations, and reduction of transportation 
trips. The Committee encourages the United States Postal 
Service to submit a comprehensive proposal within 120 days of 
enactment to the Postal Regulatory Commission requesting an 
advisory opinion regarding all such permanent changes to the 
Postal Service facilities and network. The Committee encourages 
the Postal Regulatory Commission to issue an opinion on such 
changes. The advisory opinion should include recommendations 
and a cost impact analysis (detailing cost of operations and 
cost overruns), on how reversal of such changes would impact 
postal operations as well as how a continuation of such changes 
would impact postal operations. Further, the Committee notes 
the Postmaster General's May 14, 2024, letter to Congress in 
which the Postal Service committed to pausing the movement of 
processing operations associated with Mail Processing Facility 
Reviews until January 1, 2025. The Committee expresses concern 
about reports of ongoing United States Postal Service 
activities in violation of this pause. Additionally, the 
Committee notes that consolidation that occurred early in 2024 
has deeply damaged postal delivery, resulting in concerns by 
constituents across the country. The United States Postal 
Service should strongly consider extending this pause until a 
plan is developed to end the deterioration of timely delivery 
of mail.
    Rural Post Offices.--The Committee is concerned with the 
consolidation and closure of rural and small post offices 
throughout the United States.
    Closing and Reopening of Post Offices.--The Committee is 
concerned by continued delays in reopening closed post offices. 
The Committee directs the United States Postal Service to 
provide a report outlining the status update of the 
recommendations made in the Office of Inspector General's audit 
report 21-239-R23 within 90 days of enactment.
    Post Office Hours.--The Committee is concerned with the 
reduction of work hours for Postal employees. The Committee 
encourages the United States Postal Service to ensure that 
Postal employees do not face reduction in working hours.
    Timely Delivery.--The Committee reminds the United States 
Postal Service that the Postal Service Reform Act codified a 6-
day delivery. The Committee directs the Postal Service to 
continue 6-day delivery standards without reductions to 
operations anywhere in the United States.
    First Class Mail.--The Committee encourages the United 
States Postal Service to continue their standards operations 
for first class mail.
    Overseas voting and Mail for the Blind.--The Committee 
includes provisions in the bill to ensure that mail for 
overseas voting and mail for the blind shall continue to be 
free.
    Zip Codes.--The Committee is concerned with cities who have 
multiple zip codes in their jurisdiction. The Committee is 
concerned with reports of undeliverable mail, including 
absentee ballots, in Scotland, Connecticut, and numerous places 
throughout the country. In Fiscal Year 2024 the Committee 
directed the United States Postal Service to conduct an 
internal review of why there are numerous instances, 
nationwide, where assigned zip codes overlap municipal 
jurisdictions resulting in multiple city listings or incorrect 
listings. The Committee also directed the United States Postal 
Service to provide a detailed report of their findings, 
including what solutions could be utilized to ensure proper 
designations in the future. The Committee has not received this 
report and expects the report immediately upon enactment. The 
Committee directs the Postal Service to brief the Committee on 
Appropriations within 30 days of enactment on the methodology 
surrounding zip codes overlapping municipal jurisdiction.
    Project Safe Delivery.--The Committee encourages the Postal 
Service to continue combatting mail theft and violent crimes 
targeting Postal Service employees.
    Service Area Definition.--The Committee encourages the 
United States Postal Service to continue notifying impacted 
areas if a decision is made to permanently move operations of a 
three-digit ZIP code from one processing facility to another.
    Rugged Terrain Service Areas.--The Committee encourages the 
United States Postal Service to review the impact of rugged 
terrain on service areas when considering consolidation of mail 
delivery and movement of processing operations. The Committee 
encourages the United States Postal Service to use the United 
States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service 
report on Characterizing Rugged Terrain in the United States, 
specifically the Road Ruggedness Scale [RRS], when defining 
rugged terrain.
    Air Service.--The Committee directs the United States 
Postal Service to provide a briefing immediately upon enactment 
regarding the end of the contracts for air service which impact 
priority and express mail in Montana and other rural States.
    Rural Alaskan Post Office Facilities Review.--The Committee 
is concerned about reports of post offices in rural Alaska that 
lack heat, adequate space for incoming mail, sufficient number 
of post office boxes, have leaking roofs, and other problems 
that impede the timely and efficient delivery of mail and the 
safety of USPS personnel and customers. The Committee 
encourages USPS to conduct a facilities review of all rural 
post offices in the state, to complete such a review within 2 
years, and to report to the Committee on its progress and 
findings within 180 days after enactment of this act and at the 
completion of the review. Such a report will list each post 
office visited, each issue that needs to be addressed at each 
post office, and the estimated cost to address them.
    Remedying Non-Delivery and Delays of Mail Service.--The 
Committee notes repeated reports of non-delivery and delays of 
mail service. The Committee urges the Postmaster General to 
work with Congressional Offices to review its delivery 
schedule, performance rates, and responsiveness to these issues 
in all parts of the country to ensure that mail is being 
delivered six days a week and without any unreasonable delays.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The United States Postal Service Office of Inspector 
General is an independent organization established in 1996 and 
charged with reporting to Congress on the overall efficiency, 
effectiveness, and economy of Postal Service programs and 
operations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation, out of the 
Postal Fund, of $274,000,000.
    Access to the Postal Service Asset Forfeiture Fund.--The 
Committee recognizes that, since 2005, the USPS OIG has been a 
valuable law enforcement partner and active participant in the 
Postal Service's asset forfeiture program, which is managed by 
the U.S. Postal Inspection Service [USPIS]. Notably, over the 
past 15 years, the OIG has contributed over $35,000,000 in 
forfeited funds to the Postal Service Fund, either from cases 
where it was the lead investigating agency or as a participant 
in joint law enforcement investigations. However, the Committee 
is concerned that the OIG no longer has access to proceeds in 
the Fund, as it has had since 2005. The Committee further notes 
its strong support for the OIG's ongoing efforts to investigate 
narcotics trafficking and healthcare fraud involving the Postal 
Service.
    Mail Security.--The Office of the Inspector General [OIG] 
is encouraged to make recommendations to the Postal Service as 
it looks to make significant improvements in the security of 
the mail. OIG recommendations should take into consideration 
its findings in recent Field Operations Review Team [FORT] 
audits and other relevant work.

Committee recommendation................................      57,300,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The U.S. Tax Court is an independent judicial body 
reconstituted in 1969 under Article I of the Constitution of 
the United States. The Court was created to provide a national 
forum for the resolution of disputes between taxpayers and the 
Internal Revenue Service, to ensure the uniform interpretation 
of the Internal Revenue Code, and to provide times and places 
of trial with a view to giving reasonable opportunity for 
taxpayers to appear before the Court with as little 
inconvenience and expense as is practicable. The Court's 
mission is to resolve cases expeditiously while giving careful 
consideration to the merits of each matter.
    The Tax Court is one of the courts in which taxpayers can 
bring suit to contest IRS determinations, and it is the primary 
court in which taxpayers can do so without prepaying any 
portion of the disputed taxes. The matters over which the Court 
has jurisdiction are set forth in various sections of title 26 
of the United States Code.
    The Court is composed of 19 judges, one of whom the judges 
elect as chief judge. Tax Court judges are appointed to 15-year 
terms by the President with the advice and consent of the 
Senate. In their judicial duties, the judges are assisted by 
senior judges, who participate in the adjudication of regular 
cases, and by special trial judges, who hear small tax cases 
and certain regular cases assigned to them by the chief judge.
    The Court is headquartered in Washington, DC, and conducts 
trial sessions relating to 74 designated cities throughout the 
United States, including Hawaii and Alaska. Decisions by the 
Court are reviewable by the U.S. courts of appeals and, if 
certiorari is granted, by the Supreme Court.

NOTE.--Consistent with the funding recommended in the bill for disaster relief and for emergency requirements in
  accordance with subparagraphs (A)(i) and (D) of section 251(b)(2) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
  Control Act of 1985, the Committee anticipates that the Budget Committee will revise the 302(a) allocation for
  the Committee on Appropriations to reflect an upward adjustment of $562,000,000 in budget authority and the
  associated outlays.

         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 
explanatory statement, 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.
