                    OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF THE BILL

    The Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and 
Related Agencies appropriations bill provides funding for a 
wide array of Federal programs, mostly in the Departments of 
Transportation [DOT] and Housing and Urban Development [HUD]. 
Programs in the DOT support road, transit, rail, pipeline, and 
aviation infrastructure development, safety oversight, and 
enforcement; the operation of the Nation's interstate highway 
system, air traffic control system, and passenger rail network; 
maritime readiness for the surge and sustainment of the U.S. 
military; and port infrastructure development. Resources for 
HUD support economic development, affordable housing 
production, and housing assistance for those most in need, 
including the elderly, disabled, and people experiencing 
homelessness. The bill also provides funding for the Federal 
Housing Administration [FHA] and the Government National 
Mortgage Association [Ginnie Mae] to continue their traditional 
roles of providing access to affordable homeownership in the 
United States.
    The bill, as reported, provides the proper balance of 
funding for transportation, housing, and community development 
programs and activities. It is consistent with the 
subcommittee's allocation for fiscal year 2024. All accounts in 
the bill have been closely examined to ensure that a sufficient 
level of funding is provided to carry out the programs and 
activities of the DOT, HUD, and related agencies. Details on 
each of the accounts and the Committee's justifications for the 
funding levels are included in this report.

                     PROGRAM, PROJECT, AND ACTIVITY

    During fiscal year 2024, for the purposes of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 
99-177), as amended, with respect to appropriations contained 
in the accompanying bill, the terms ``program, project, and 
activity'' [PPA] shall mean any item for which a dollar amount 
is contained in appropriations acts (including joint 
resolutions providing continuing appropriations), accompanying 
reports or explanatory statements of the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations, or accompanying conference 
reports and joint explanatory statements of the committee of 
conference. This definition shall apply to all programs for 
which new budget (obligational) authority is provided, as well 
as to discretionary grants and discretionary grant allocations 
made through either bill or report language.

                        REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

    The Committee includes provisions in section 405 
establishing the authority by which funding available to the 
agencies funded by this act or division J of Public Law 117-58 
may be reprogrammed for other purposes. These provisions 
specifically require the advanced approval of the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations of any proposal to 
reprogram funds that:
  --creates a new program;
  --eliminates a PPA;
  --increases funds or personnel for any PPA for which funds 
        have been denied or restricted by the Congress;
  --proposes to redirect funds that were directed in such 
        reports or explanatory statements for a specific 
        activity to a different purpose;
  --augments an existing PPA in excess of $5,000,000 or 10 
        percent, whichever is less;
  --reduces an existing PPA by $5,000,000 or 10 percent, 
        whichever is less; or
  --creates, reorganizes, or restructures offices different 
        from the congressional budget justifications or the 
        report accompanying this act, whichever is more 
        detailed. This direction applies to both the bill and 
        accompanying reports or explanatory statements.
    The Committee retains the requirement that each agency 
submit an operating plan to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations not later than 60 days after enactment of this 
act to establish the baseline for application of reprogramming 
and transfer authorities provided in this act. Specifically, 
each agency should provide a table for each appropriation with 
columns displaying the prior year enacted level; budget 
request; adjustments made by Congress; adjustments for 
rescissions, if appropriate; and the fiscal year enacted level. 
The table shall delineate the appropriation and prior year 
enacted level both by object class and by PPA, as detailed in 
this act, accompanying reports, and explanatory statements of 
the House and Senate Committee on Appropriations, or in the 
budget appendix for the respective appropriations, whichever is 
more detailed, and shall apply to all items for which a dollar 
amount is specified and to all programs for which new budget 
(obligational) authority is provided, as well as to 
discretionary grants and discretionary grant allocations. The 
report must also identify items of special congressional 
interest.
    The Committee expects the agencies and bureaus to submit 
reprogramming requests in a timely manner and to provide a 
thorough explanation of the proposed reallocations, including a 
detailed justification of increases and reductions and the 
specific impact the proposed changes will have on the budget 
request for the following fiscal year. Except in emergency 
situations, reprogramming requests should be submitted no later 
than June 30.
    The Committee expects each agency to manage its programs 
and activities within the amounts appropriated by Congress. The 
Committee reminds agencies that reprogramming requests should 
be submitted only in the case of an unforeseeable emergency or 
a situation that could not have been anticipated when 
formulating the budget request for the current fiscal year. 
Further, the Committee notes that when a Department or agency 
submits a reprogramming or transfer request to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations and does not receive 
identical responses from the House and Senate, it is the 
responsibility of the Department to reconcile the House and 
Senate differences before proceeding, and if reconciliation is 
not possible, to consider the request to reprogram funds not 
approved.
    The Committee would also like to clarify that these 
sections apply to the working capital funds [WCF] for DOT and 
HUD, and that no funds may be obligated from such funds to 
augment programs, projects or activities for which 
appropriations have been specifically rejected by the Congress, 
or to increase funds or personnel for any PPA above the amounts 
appropriated by this act.

                  CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS

    Budget justifications are the primary tool used by the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations to evaluate the 
resource requirements and fiscal needs of agencies. The 
Committee is aware that the format and presentation of budget 
materials is largely left to the agency within presentation 
objectives set forth by the Office of Management and Budget 
[OMB]. The Committee expects all of the budget justifications 
to provide the data needed to make appropriate and meaningful 
funding decisions. This should include the customary level of 
detailed data and explanatory statements to support the 
appropriations requests at the level of detail contained in any 
funding table. Among other items, agencies shall provide a 
detailed discussion of proposed new initiatives, proposed 
changes in the agency's financial plan from prior year 
enactment, and detailed data on all programs and comprehensive 
information on any office or agency restructurings. At a 
minimum, each agency must also provide adequate justification 
for funding and staffing changes for each individual office and 
materials that compare programs, projects, and activities that 
are proposed for fiscal year 2025 to the fiscal year 2024 
enacted level.
    The Committee is aware that the analytical materials 
required for review by the Committee are unique to each agency 
in this act. Therefore, the Committee expects that each agency 
will coordinate with the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations in advance on its planned presentation for its 
budget justification materials in support of the fiscal year 
2025 budget request.
    The Committee also reminds all agencies funded in this act 
to provide accurate organizational charts in the budget 
justifications. The Committee considers any changes to the 
organization charts to be a reprogramming requiring approval of 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations under section 
405 of this act.
    With the significant, historical investments of the IIJA 
and the Inflation Reduction Act [IRA] in addition to annual 
appropriations funding, the Committee requires a clear and 
accurate presentation of annual available and requested 
budgetary resources for each fiscal year in the congressional 
budget justifications that accompany the President's budget 
request. Each agency funded under this act shall present all 
available budgetary resources from contract authority, 
mandatory budget authority, advanced appropriations, and 
discretionary budget authority in its congressional 
justification. Each agency shall also delineate the funding for 
salaries and expenses [S&E] and number of full-time equivalent 
[FTE] and full-time positions [FTP] separate and distinct from 
the programmatic funding, including in the detailed tables in 
the congressional budget justification. This shall include all 
S&E funding and FTE/FTP provided by administrative takedowns 
from any and all budgetary resources. Advance appropriations 
from division J of the IIJA includes takedowns for 
administrative expenses, and amounts that are made available 
for programmatic activities should not be used to exceed the 
administrative limitation specified in division J of the IIJA. 
FTEs funded by division J are expected to be managed as a 
separate and distinct resource and shall not be included or 
represented as an adjustment to base in the annual 
discretionary budget request for S&E.

                        TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENT

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

                            AUDIT STANDARDS

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

                       FEDERALLY FUNDED RESEARCH

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

                           HUMAN TRAFFICKING

    The Committee directs the Department of Transportation to 
encourage relevant stakeholders, including airports, transit 
hubs, and recipients of financial assistance from the 
Department, to implement comprehensive policies to combat human 
trafficking and support survivors based on guidance and 
recommendations from the DOT Advisory Committee on Human 
Trafficking.

                  AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM ALIGNMENT

    Affordable housing development projects often require 
multiple sources of Federal funding in order to maintain 
affordable rents, but conflicting or duplicative requirements 
can add administrative burden, transaction costs, and 
development time to the project. For example, a single property 
financed by multiple Federal programs may require two, three, 
or more separate inspections in a single year, wasting taxpayer 
dollars and grantee's time that could be better spent on 
assisting more families. During an April 2023 hearing on the 
fiscal year 2024 President's budget request, the Secretary of 
HUD acknowledged the need to standardize program requirements 
as much as possible and committed to reducing duplicative 
inspections and addressing the thicket of statutory, 
regulatory, and procedural barriers that cause conflict and 
duplication.
    The Committee directs HUD to brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 30 days of enactment of 
this act on priority administrative actions to harmonize 
requirements and reduce duplicative efforts across Federal 
rental assistance programs, key milestones for agency action in 
fiscal year 2024, and how the Department intends to staff the 
effort to ensure sustained progress. The Committee also 
supports this alignment work by directing interagency 
coordination across HUD, the Department of the Treasury, and 
the United States Department of Agriculture [USDA] to reduce 
duplicative inspections, directing HUD to provide clarifying 
guidance and technical guidance to HOME investment partnerships 
program [HOME] grantees on alternative processes to reduce 
duplicative inspections, urging HUD to prioritize critical 
staff positions to support program alignment, and urging HUD to 
issue the proposed rules to streamline and modernize the HOME 
and community development block grant [CDBG] programs.

                                TITLE I

                      DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

                        Office of the Secretary

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

Committee recommendation................................     191,295,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total of $191,295,000 for the 
salaries and expenses of OST, including $70,000 for reception 
and representation expenses. The recommendation is $29,111,000 
less than the budget request and $20,281,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2023 enacted level.
    The accompanying bill authorizes the Secretary to transfer 
up to seven percent of the funds from any office within the 
Office of the Secretary to another. The Committee 
recommendation also continues language that permits up to 
$2,500,000 of fees to be credited to the Office of the 
Secretary for salaries and expenses.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendation in comparison to the fiscal year 2023 enacted 
level and the budget request:

                   IMMEDIATE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $3,770,000 for fiscal year 2024 
for the Immediate Office of the Secretary. The recommendation 
is $201,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. The 
Committee directs the Department to abide by both the will and 
intent of Congress in all funding and policy decisions, and to 
consult with the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
prior to issuing all notices of funding opportunities [NOFOs].
    Buy America.--The Committee is encouraged by the recent OMB 
guidance on Buy America as it relates to Federal financial 
assistance programs for infrastructure. This guidance is 
consistent with Executive Order 14005 ``Ensuring the Future Is 
Made in All of America by All of America's Workers.'' To 
support a competitive domestic marketplace, the Committee 
recognizes the need for infrastructure to be built by American 
companies, using American products where possible to maximize 
the safety, security, and economic impact of Federal 
investments in the United States.

                IMMEDIATE OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY SECRETARY

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

assisting the Secretary in the overall planning and direction 
of the Department.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $1,370,000 for the Immediate 
Office of the Deputy Secretary, which is $93,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2023 enacted level.

                     OFFICE OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $32,272,000 for expenses of the 
Office of the General Counsel for fiscal year 2024. The 
recommended funding level is $4,183,000 more than the fiscal 
year 2023 enacted level. The Committee recommendation supports 
adjustments to base and additional contract support as 
requested.

                OFFICE OF THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR POLICY

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $20,064,000 for the Office of the 
Under Secretary for Policy, of which $2,000,000 is for the 
Office of Multimodal Freight Infrastructure and Policy. The 
recommended funding level is $2,595,000 more than the fiscal 
year 2023 enacted level. The Committee recommendation supports 
adjustments to base and the Department's strategic plan 
activities as requested.
    Office of Multimodal Freight Infrastructure and Policy.--
The Committee is concerned that the Department has not provided 
an update on the status of the creation of the office as 
statutorily required under 49 U.S.C. 118(i). The Committee 
directs the Department to expeditiously provide the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations and the relevant 
authorizing committees with the report required. Further, the 
Department is required to notify the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations prior to the execution of the 
authorities under 49 U.S.C. 118(g)(2)-(3).
    Department Policies.--The Department's current statement of 
international air transportation policy was last updated in 
1995 and is now over 28 years old. The Committee directs the 
Department to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the status of this policy document.
    Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything Safety Technology.--The use 
of cellular vehicle-to-everything [C-V2X] technology has the 
potential to contribute to a variety of ongoing transportation 
solutions, including facilitating emergency services and 
improving traffic flow, among others. As such, the Committee 
expects the Department to encourage the use of C-V2X as a 
technology-based safety solution by non-Federal projects 
sponsors. The Department should do so through program guidance, 
NOFOs for discretionary grant programs, and national roadway 
safety strategy implementation, where permissible and feasible. 
The Department should also explore, where appropriate, 
opportunities to facilitate and accelerate voluntary widespread 
deployment of transportation efficiency solutions, which 
include C-V2X, including by conducting research and deployment 
of emerging technologies and innovative concepts that may 
foster more rapid public adoption.
    Veteran Recruitment.--The men and women of our nation's 
military gain significant skills and experience that are 
readily transferable to second careers in transportation once 
these individuals separate from military service. Truck 
drivers, air traffic controllers, aviation maintenance 
technicians, and others in the military receive specialized 
training to safely perform their missions in the military. As 
the DOT seeks to attract veterans into Federal civil service, 
the Committee encourages the Secretary to collaborate with 
relevant stakeholders, including military and industry 
representatives, to evaluate military training and hands-on 
experience. This collaboration should identify areas where 
agency training requirements can be streamlined, while 
maintaining safety and quality standards, to facilitate the 
efficient integration of veterans into DOT career positions.
    Interagency Review.--The Committee directs the Secretary of 
Transportation to provide comments on the National Marine 
Fisheries Service proposed rule (87 FR 46921) being considered 
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 
including a discussion on the potential impacts that navigation 
restrictions could have on maritime traffic as well as 
downstream impacts to other modes of transportation associated 
with offloading cargo at ports receiving vessel traffic 
affected by these proposals and the feasibility of using vessel 
monitoring technology to continuously monitor and report vessel 
speed.

                        RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $48,996,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      66,500,000
Committee recommendation................................      51,358,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and 
Technology has taken over the responsibilities previously held 
by the Research and Innovative Technology Administration. The

reviewing the Department's research and development programs 
and activities; and overseeing and providing direction to the 
Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the Intelligent 
Transportation Systems Joint Program Office, the university 
transportation centers program, the Volpe National 
Transportation Systems Center, and the Transportation Safety 
Institute.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $51,358,000 
for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and 
Technology. This amount is $2,362,000 more than the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level and $15,142,000 less than the budget 
request. The Committee is concerned that the representation of 
administrative costs provided to the Committee in the 
congressional justification is not fully inclusive of all FTP 
costs for the office. Thereby, the annual adjustments to base 
to accommodate the preservation of approved staffing levels in 
accordance with executive branch cost of living adjustments and 
other costs are not fully captured. The funding level provided, 
with available carryover balances, will support the staffing 
levels on board as of July 10, 2023, and the adjustments to 
base to preserve these positions for fiscal year 2024 as the 
office adjusts the 26 FTP funded in programmatic activities to 
an administrative budget line item as directed in the front 
matter of this report. This funding level assumes sufficient 
carryover funding to sustain the programmatic activities of the 
highly automated systems safety [HASS] center of excellence 
[COE] at $4,600,000 and the climate initiative at $2,100,000 in 
fiscal year 2024.
    Positioning Navigation and Timing [PNT] Technologies and 
Global Positioning System [GPS] Backup.--The Committee 
reiterates its support of the findings in the Department's 
January, 2023 report entitled, ``Complementary PNT and GPS 
Backup Technologies Demonstration Report (DOT-VNTSC-20-07)'', 
which found that ``the best strategy for achieving resilient 
PNT service is to pursue multiple technologies to promote 
diversity in the PNT functions that support transportation and 
other critical infrastructure sectors.'' The report found that 
based on the demonstration, the technologies that show strong 
performance, operational diversity, operational readiness, and 
cost effectiveness are the low-frequency and ultra-high 
frequency terrestrial and L-band satellite broadcasts for PNT 
functions with supporting fiber optic time services to 
transmitters/control segments. The Committee recommendation 
sustains the fiscal year 2023 investment of $15,000,000 in 
fiscal year 2024 to enable the Secretary to maintain the 
complementary PNT and backup GPS technologies program, which 
will allow for the wide adoption of multiple technologies that 
provide the necessary GPS backup and complementary PNT as 
identified by the Department's report. This amount is in 
addition to the anticipated carryover of $14,900,000 from prior 
year funds. Funding will enable, among other things, the 
development of safety-critical PNT requirements and standards, 
vulnerability and performance testing, certification protocols 
for safety-critical functions, the procurement of services as 
deemed appropriate by the Department, and user adoption models 
in order to facilitate the responsible use of resilient PNT 
services to meet Federal requirements for widespread adoption. 
The Committee expects the Department to report its findings and 
recommendations enabling GPS backup to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 1 year of enactment of this 
act.
    The Committee commends the Department for its action to 
ensure cybersecurity and all-hazards resilience, including PNT, 
are part of the standard NOFO language in the Department's 
discretionary programs. As such, the Committee believes it is 
equally important to ensure eligible recipients are informed of 
the eligible activities and therefore expects the Department to 
provide adequate notice to its recipients.
    The Committee remains concerned about the disruptions 
caused by interferences resulting from jamming and spoofing at 
and around our nation's air traffic system, as well as the 
threats to other critical infrastructure. A recent GAO Report 
[GAO-23-105335] entitled ``GPS Disruptions'' noted the 
vulnerabilities to unintentional and intentional interference 
from a variety of sources. The Committee is alarmed at the 
potential of such interference to effect transportation safety 
and directs the Department to continue working toward the 
deployment of backup technologies that will prevent 
interference and provide a resilient backup GPS capability for 
critical infrastructure.
    Advanced Research Projects Advancement for Infrastructure 
[ARPA-I].--The recommendation includes $14,750,000 to support 
ARPA-I as authorized by 49 U.S.C. 119 and the open research 
initiative as authorized by 49 U.S.C. 5506. The funding will 
advance and deploy technology products that have the potential 
to transform transportation systems and the way they are used 
with an emphasis on technology transfer and commercialization.

                  NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $800,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................   1,220,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     800,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $800,000,000 for 
grants and credit assistance for investment in significant 
transportation projects, which is equal to the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level and $420,000,000 less than the budget request.
    The national infrastructure investments program, now known 
as the rebuilding american infrastructure with sustainability 
and equity [RAISE] program, has become integral to improving 
safety and mobility in communities throughout the country for 
more than a decade. The outcome-oriented selection criteria 
that includes state of good repair, economic competitiveness, 
quality of life, environmental sustainability, safety, 
innovation, and partnership nurtures stronger applications and 
results in successful multimodal projects. Given the importance 
of infrastructure reuse projects for transportation, economic 
development, emissions reduction, and recreation, the Committee 
encourages the Department to consider supporting infrastructure 
reuse projects.
    Geographic Distribution.--The Committee continues to 
believe that our Federal infrastructure programs must benefit 
communities across the country. The Committee continues to 
require the Secretary to award grants and credit assistance in 
a manner that ensures an equitable geographic distribution of 
funds and an appropriate balance in addressing the needs of 
urban and rural communities.
    Improving Construction Project Delivery.--The Committee 
believes that completing transportation infrastructure projects 
punctually and responsibly is a key step toward improving our 
nation's infrastructure system to better facilitate the safe 
and efficient movement of people and goods. The Committee is 
aware that integrated project delivery [IPD] is a construction 
delivery method that integrates project teams, including 
agencies, engineers, builders, and owners, which can lead to 
significant project delivery efficiencies. The Committee 
encourages the Secretary to incorporate IPD options in 
implementing and administering funding made available by the 
IIJA. When considering RAISE applications, the Committee 
encourages the Secretary, to the extent appropriate, to 
consider awarding at least one grant which proposes employing 
the IPD method.
    Mega Project Eligibility.--The Committee directs the 
Secretary of Transportation to interpret eligibility for public 
transportation projects under 49 U.S.C. 6701(d)(1)(E) to 
include new multi-modal projects where the addition of public 
transportation project components provide a significant 
improvement to the mobility benefits for users of highways or 
intercity passenger rail.
    Mega Grants.--The Committee recognizes that inland ports 
are an important element in the international supply chain, 
increasing intermodal capacity and efficiencies in the movement 
of global commerce from ships to major transportation networks 
for distribution. Benefits include reduced congestion at marine 
terminals and on the Nation's highways, lower costs of moving 
cargo, environmental and safety benefits, economic development 
in underserved or rural areas, as well as consolidation of 
import/export centers. Within the advance appropriations for 
this program, the Committee encourages the Secretary to 
consider mega grant applications that include the development 
of coastal and inland ports that provide supply chain 
improvements and reduce supply chain disruption.

is $992,000 less than the budget request and $708,000 more than 
the fiscal year 2023 enacted level to accommodate adjustments 
to base.
    Selection Process for Nationally Significant Multimodal 
Freight and Highway Projects Program [INFRA] Grants.--The 
Committee is aware of the GAO report entitled ``Discretionary 
Transportation Grants: DOT Should Take Actions to Improve the 
Selection of Freight and Highway Projects'' [GAO-18-38] 
specifically related to the documentation of INFRA grant 
decisions, as well as the most recent report entitled 
``Discretionary Transportation Grants: DOT Should Clarify 
Application Requirements and Oversight Activities'' [GAO-22-
104532]. The Committee appreciates the Department's efforts to 
notify unsuccessful applicants within 60 days of announcing 
awards and to provide more feedback to such applicants. Moving 
forward, the Committee directs the Department to fully 
implement the recommendation included in the most recent GAO 
report.
    Coordination with Joint Office of Energy and 
Transportation.--The Committee directs the Bureau to coordinate 
with the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation to leverage 
private sector engineering, operational, and financial support 
for commercial depot deployment of low- or no-emission port 
drayage and long-haul trucks along commercial and trade 
corridors.
    Transit-Oriented Development.--The GAO has recommended that 
the Bureau should better document its rationale for financing 
decisions in order to evaluate the pilot program allowing for 
transportation infrastructure finance and innovation act 
[TIFIA] and railroad rehabilitation and improvement financing 
[RRIF] loans to be used for transit-oriented development. The 
Committee directs the agency to report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the status of the 
implementation of these recommendations which will be valuable 
in providing certainty to project development and determining 
how additional improvements can be made to facilitate 
affordable housing development along transit corridors.

              RURAL AND TRIBAL INFRASTRUCTURE ADVANCEMENT

Appropriations, 2023....................................................
Budget estimate, 2024\*\................................................
Committee recommendation\*\.............................     $25,000,000

\*\The IIJA provides $2,000,000 in contract authority for this program 
for fiscal year 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The rural and Tribal infrastructure advancement program 
authorized by section 21205 of Public Law 117-58 allows the 
Build America Bureau to provide financial, technical, and legal 
assistance to evaluate and support potential transportation 
projects reasonably expected to be eligible for Federal funding 
or financing.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $25,000,000 for the 
rural and Tribal infrastructure advancement program. The 
recommended funding level is $25,000,000 more than the budget 
request and $25,000,000 more than the level provided in fiscal 
year 2023.
    This program funds activities that are similar to those 
funded in the fiscal year 2023 enacted bill under the thriving 
communities initiative heading, which provides funding for 
technical assistance throughout the full project lifecycle to 
areas of persistent poverty and disadvantaged communities, the 
majority of which are located in rural areas. Section 21205 of 
the Public Law 117-58 separately authorized a rural and Tribal 
assistance infrastructure advancement pilot program to provide 
financial, technical, and legal assistance to rural 
communities, federally recognized Indian Tribes, and the 
Department of Hawaiian Homelands. Both programs encourage the 
development and dissemination of best practices, research, 
modeling and cost-benefit analysis to aid in the development of 
applications for Federal funding and financial assistance. 
Given that the thriving communities program has received 
$50,000,000 over the past two fiscal year and has $28,000,000 
in carryover balances, the Committee is directing resources for 
the authorized IIJA activities that have a targeted focus on 
the needs of Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, Native 
Alaskans, and rural communities. Tribes, specifically, are 
twice as likely to live in poverty compared to the rest of the 
Nation and face the most significant capacity constraints to 
access Federal assistance for which there is overwhelming need.

       RAILROAD REHABILITATION AND IMPROVEMENT FINANCING PROGRAM

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of Civil Rights is responsible for advising the 
Secretary on civil rights and equal employment opportunity 
matters, formulating civil rights policies and procedures for 
the operating administrations, investigating claims that small 
businesses were denied certification or improperly certified as 
disadvantaged business enterprises, overseeing the Department's 
conduct of its civil rights responsibilities, and making final 
determinations on civil rights complaints. In addition, the 
office is responsible for enforcing laws and regulations which 
prohibit discrimination in federally operated and federally 
assisted transportation programs.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a funding level of $18,228,000 for 
the Office of Civil Rights. The recommendation is $3,428,000 
more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level and $10,367,000 
less than the budget request. The increase in resources will be 
used to accommodate adjustments to base.

           TRANSPORTATION PLANNING, RESEARCH, AND DEVELOPMENT

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $36,543,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      25,017,000
Committee recommendation................................      24,069,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of the Secretary performs those research 
activities and studies which can more effectively or 
appropriately be conducted at the departmental level. This 
research effort supports the planning, research, and 
development activities needed to assist the Secretary in the 
formulation of national transportation policies. The program is 
carried out primarily through contracts with other Federal 
agencies, educational institutions, nonprofit research 
organizations, and private firms.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $24,069,000 for transportation 
planning, research, and development, which is $948,000 less 
than the budget request and $12,474,000 less than the fiscal 
year 2023 enacted level. Within this funding level, the 
Committee recommendation also includes $3,443,000 to 
accommodate congressionally directed spending [CDS] for 
eligible projects. The Committee directs the OST to provide 
funding for those projects listed in the table at the end of 
this report in the corresponding amounts. The Committee further 
directs that the specific funding allocated for CDS shall not 
diminish or prejudice any application or geographic region to 
receive other discretionary grants or loans.
    Autonomous Vehicle Research in Rural Communities.--The 
Committee continues to believe that autonomous vehicles have 
the potential to enhance roadway safety and increase mobility 
options for all Americans, but have additional challenges to 
overcome in order to bring these benefits to rural Americans. 
Therefore, the Committee is concerned by the Department's 
delays in awarding the $10,000,000 appropriated by the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103) and 
the additional $15,000,000 directed by the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328). Should the 
previously appropriated funds not be awarded to the higher 
education consortia as intended by Congress within 90 days of 
enactment of this act, the Department is directed to brief the 
Committee on its plan to adhere to prior congressional intent 
for these funds.

                          WORKING CAPITAL FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Limitation, 2023........................................    $505,285,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................................
Committee recommendation................................     522,165,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The working capital fund [WCF] provides technical and 
administrative services to the Department's operating 
administrations and other Federal entities. The services are 
centrally performed in the interest of economy and efficiency, 
are funded through negotiated agreements with the Department's 
operating administrations and other Federal customers, and are 
billed on a fee-for-service basis to the maximum extent 
possible.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation of $522,165,000 on 
activities financed through the WCF. The recommended limit is 
$16,880,000 more than the limit enacted for fiscal year 2023. 
As in past years, the bill specifies that the limitation on the 
WCF shall apply only to the Department and not to services 
provided for other entities. The Committee directs services to 
be provided on a competitive basis to the maximum extent 
possible. The Committee reminds the Department that in fiscal 
year 2023 the Committee only approved the migration of 
commodity IT to the WCF and permission to expand activities to 
human capital and IT activities was not approved. The Committee 
again directs the Department to only sustain the migration of 
commodity IT to the WCF and permission to expand activities for 
human capital and IT activities are denied.

       SMALL AND DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS UTILIZATION AND OUTREACH

Appropriations, 2023....................................      $5,132,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................       7,314,000
Committee recommendation................................       5,330,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This appropriation provides contractual support to assist 
small, women-owned, Native American, and other disadvantaged 
business firms in securing contracts and subcontracts for 
transportation-related projects that involve Federal spending. 
Separate funding is provided for these activities since this 
program provides grants and contract assistance that serve 
Department-wide goals and not just OST purposes.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $5,330,000, which is $198,000 more 
than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level, and $1,984,000 less 
than the budget request.

                        PAYMENTS TO AIR CARRIERS

                    (AIRPORT AND AIRWAY TRUST FUND)

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $354,827,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     348,554,000
Committee recommendation................................     348,554,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This appropriation provides funding for the essential air 
service [EAS] program, which was created to continue air 
service to communities that had received federally mandated air 
service prior to deregulation of commercial aviation in 1978. 
The program currently provides subsidies to air carriers 
serving small communities that meet certain criteria.
    The Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] collects user 
fees that cover the air traffic control services the agency 
provides to aircraft that neither take off from, nor land in, 
the United States. These fees are commonly referred to as 
``overflight fees'' and the receipts from the fees are used to 
help finance the EAS program.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

Committee recommendation..................................       348,554,000       154,410,530       502,964,530
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $348,554,000 
for the EAS program. This appropriation would be in addition to 
an estimated $154,410,530 from overflight fees collected by the 
FAA, allowing the Department to support a total program level 
for EAS of $502,964,530. The Committee's recommendation for the 
appropriation is equal to the budget request and $6,273,000 
less than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level.
    Status of Funds.--The Department is directed to provide the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations quarterly updates 
on overflight fee collections and program costs to ensure the 
continued success of the EAS program.

                    Federal Aviation Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The total recommended funding level for the FAA for fiscal 
year 2024 amounts to $20,278,761,000, including new budget 
authority and a limitation on the obligation of contract 
authority. The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations and advance appropriations provided by the IIJA 
for fiscal year 2024:

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total of $12,740,627,000 for FAA 
Operations. This funding level is equal to the budget request, 
and $825,627,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. 
As in past years, the FAA is directed to report immediately to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in the event 
resources are insufficient to operate a safe and effective air 
traffic control system. The following table summarizes the 
Committee's recommendation in comparison to the budget estimate 
and the fiscal year 2023 enacted level:

    Funding Level.--The increase of $825,627,000 will allow the 
FAA to address ongoing challenges with air traffic controller 
staffing, aircraft certification improvements, new entrants in 
the national airspace system [NAS], and improving the 
efficiency and responsiveness of the agency, and consist of the 
following:
  --$617,348,000 for adjustments to base;
  --$93,646,000 for the air traffic controller hiring surge in 
        fiscal year 2024, which will allow the FAA to bring in 
        1,800 new air traffic controllers and increase/expedite 
        the training capacity at the air traffic control 
        training academy;
  --$50,000,000 for telecommunications infrastructure 
        sustainment to update outdated legacy communications 
        equipment that is no longer supported by 
        telecommunications carriers;
  --$25,000,000 for NAS maintenance and sustainment, which will 
        help improve the reliability and stability of critical 
        systems needed for air traffic management, such as the 
        notice to air missions [NOTAM] system;
  --$16,210,000 and 53 FTP to address aircraft certification 
        reform legislation requirements, such as the safety 
        hotline and whistleblower complaints and a safety 
        culture assessment;
  --$7,918,000 and 72 FTP to strengthen aviation safety 
        oversight, including efforts to help reduce the backlog 
        of operator certifications and increased requirement 
        associated with accident investigations;
  --$2,125,000 and 20 FTP to improve hazardous materials 
        transportation safety oversight;
  --$3,444,000 and 2 FTP to enhance sustainability at the Mike 
        Monroney Aeronautical Center [MMAC] and the Tech 
        Center;
  --$4,050,000 and 30 FTP to for the technical operations 
        division of the air traffic organization [ATO]; and
  --$1,710,000 and 12 FTP for flight standards services of the 
        office of aviation safety [AVS].
    Staffing Levels.--The Committee directs the FAA to provide 
quarterly staffing updates, including hiring and separations, 
by program office for all positions funded by this act.
    Controller Hiring Surge.--The Committee applauds the FAA's 
ongoing controller hiring surge in order to meet the shortfall 
in air traffic controller staffing due to restrictions to 
travel and training during COVID-19 pandemic. Restrictions at 
the air traffic controller training academy and air traffic 
control [ATC] facilities for 2 years severely limited the 
number of new controllers and training for new or transferred 
controllers, and required existing controllers to undergo 
refresher training on a more frequent basis. The Committee 
directs the FAA to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on a quarterly basis on: (1) the status of 
hiring new controllers; (2) actual staffing levels, including 
hiring and separation levels, at all ATC facilities; and (3) 
flight delays at each ATC facility by category.
    The Committee appreciates the FAA's efforts to incorporate 
both the current staffing standard and the collaborative 
resource workgroup [CRWG] targets in the most recent controller 
workforce plan [CWP]. While there are significant differences 
in the assumptions behind the two methodologies, the Committee 
notes that the hiring targets over the next 5 years are the 
same. In that time, the FAA should continue its work to resolve 
the differences in methodologies, accounting for all relevant 
factors and taking into consideration the input from all 
relevant offices within the FAA including the ATO and the 
Office of Finance and Management. The CWP should continue to be 
submitted solely by the Administrator of the FAA.
    The Committee notes that in response to Office of Inspector 
General [OIG] recommendation in Report AV2023035 related to 
implementing a new labor distribution system, the FAA has 
already begun implementing the air traffic operations 
management systems [ATOMS] that will track controller 
timekeeping and various work assignments. The Committee directs 
the FAA to provide quarterly updates to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on its progress in implementing 
ATOMS and make the Committees aware of any challenges that may 
impede the deployment of this system throughout the NAS by the 
end of calendar year 2024.
    Runway Incursions.--The Committee is concerned with the 
increased number of runway incursion incidents occurring 
throughout the Nation. While the Committee applauds the FAA's 
efforts to mitigate these incidents through educational 
outreach, training, marking, lighting, and new technology, the 
Committee believes that more can be done to increase safety and 
reduce runway incursion incidents. Therefore, the Committee 
directs the Chief Operating Officer of the FAA to provide 
monthly briefings to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on: (1) the status and progress of the runway 
incursion mitigation program; (2) the number of runway 
incursion incident totals, including the severity of the 
incursions; and (3) the process the FAA is using to address 
each runway incursion.
    Air Traffic Control Privatization.--The United States has 
the largest, safest, most efficient, and most complex air 
traffic control system in the world, and the FAA should remain 
a global leader with a singular and unified mission of safety. 
To that end, the Committee does not support any efforts to 
transfer the FAA's air traffic functions to a not-for-profit, 
independent, private corporation. The Committee is aware that 
if the nation's air traffic control system had been privatized 
during the COVID-19 pandemic, similar to other air navigation 
service providers in Canada and the European Union, the United 
States would have faced severe funding shortfalls. These 
shortfalls would have likely led to controller layoffs and 
greater risks to flight safety, and a slower recovery after the 
end of the pandemic, thus leading to more flight delays and 
price increases for consumers.
    Contract Towers.--The Committee recommendation provides not 
less than $194,000,000 for the contract tower program, 
including the cost-share contract towers. The Committee directs 
the FAA to continue to operate all contract towers currently in 
the program, including the contract tower cost-share program, 
as well as to expeditiously add qualified eligible airports. 
The Committee directs the FAA to expedite the applications for 
cost-benefit ratio studies upon receipt of all applications to 
the contract tower program, including from Pinal Airpark, and 
to take into account all relevant operations activities, 
including military and commercial operations, as permissible 
under current law. The Committee also directs the FAA to 
provide flexibility to contract towers at small-hub airports 
with unique terrain and winter weather challenges so they 
include a minimum of two controllers during all regularly 
scheduled commercial flights, where permissible under current 
law. The Committee is aware of concerns about the FAA's efforts 
to realign and expand the number of FAA contract tower service 
areas. The Committee expects the FAA to respond to inquiries 
from Congress about the rationale for this proposal, its impact 
on controllers, and the impact on the risk to the NAS as a 
result of this change. Further, the Committee also expects the 
FAA to respond to all Congressional inquiries about this matter 
within 30 days of enactment of this act. The Committee directs 
the FAA to provide a briefing to the House and Senate 
Appropriations Committee on the FAA's plans regarding the 
realignment within 45 days of enactment of this act.
    FAA Technical Operations Workforce.--The Committee 
reiterates its support for the FAA to develop a workforce plan 
for the technical operations service unit, as required by House 
Report 117-402.
    Mitigating Radar Gaps for High-Traffic Airports.--The 
Committee is aware of concerns with the level of air traffic 
services in certain mountain west airports where fire 
management-related air traffic contributes to airspace 
congestion. The FAA shall identify airports where inadequate 
radar coverage is limiting airport capacity for commercial, 
military, and fire management-related air traffic, and increase 
staffing and/or provide terminal radar approach control 
facility [TRACON] services at such airports to better meet 
broad community needs, if justified.
    FAA Public Hearing.--The Committee notes that the proposal 
to modify the Condor 1 and Condor 2 military operating areas 
has been withdrawn. However, the Committee remains concerned 
with any potential proposals to modify these military operating 
areas and encourages the FAA to work with its partner agencies 
by holding a public hearing with representatives from the 
relevant Federal agencies in western Maine if any such proposal 
is issued. The Committee recognizes that the Air National 
Guard, as the lead agency under the National Environmental 
Policy Act (Public Law 91-190) process, has previously sought 
to meet the minimum legal requirements for public participation 
and comment in past proposals. Should any similar proposal be 
issued, the Committee directs the FAA to report to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to the issuance 
of a record of decision regarding any modification of the 
Condor 1 and Condor 2 military operations areas that includes a 
summary of any public meeting and hearing and a list of the 
comments, questions, and responses presented at these meetings 
and hearings.
    Special Use Airspace.--The Committee directs the FAA to 
continue its efforts to improve airspace sharing with the 
Department of Defense [DoD] for special use.
    Aeronautical Mobile Communications Services [AMCS].--The 
AMCS program provides the FAA voice communications over oceanic 
airspace. The program primarily uses high frequency radio 
channels, but the FAA should evaluate whether satellite voice 
communications would be a cost-effective way to minimize 
operational gaps when high frequency service is unavailable.
    Human Intervention Motivation Study [HIMS] and Flight 
Attendant Drug and Alcohol Program [FADAP].--The Committee 
recognizes the effectiveness of HIMS and FADAP in mitigating 
drug and alcohol abuse through a peer identification and 
intervention program and expects the FAA to continue to 
prioritize these programs.
    Air Tour Operators in Hawaii.--The Committee appreciates 
the FAA's work to establish air tour operator management plans 
for national parks in Hawaii, but remains concerned with 
excessive noise in areas outside of national parks. The FAA 
should work with the State of Hawaii and all relevant 
stakeholders to address noise concerns related to air tour 
operators, and to work with the authorizing committees to 
develop legislation to address these concerns.
    Air Tour and Sport Parachuting Safety.--The Committee 
directs the FAA to convene an aviation rulemaking committee 
[ARC] to review and develop findings and recommendations 
relating to improving the operations of air tour operators. The 
Committee also directs the FAA to convene an ARC to review and 
develop findings and recommendations to improve sport parachute 
operations. The FAA shall submit a report based on the findings 
of the ARCs to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations not later than 20 months after the date of 
enactment of this act.
    Radio Altimeters and 5G.--The Committee directs the FAA to 
continue altimeter research and support voluntary forums with 
industry partners in order to establish new performance 
standards that consider the future of 5G, 6G, 7G, and beyond. 
The FAA should brief the House and Senate Committees on any 
research and development activities that the FAA can conduct 
and/or sponsor to prepare for 6G, 7G, and beyond.
    Alaska Safety Initiative.--The Committee is aware of 
concerns with the lack of progress with the FAA Alaska safety 
initiative [FAASI]. Not less than 90 days after enactment of 
this act, the FAA shall brief the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations on the agency's accomplishments in support of 
the FAASI initiative as outlined in the FAASI roadmap.
    Safety.--Funding made available in this act to study 
commercial operations should prioritize the safety effects 
relative to two-person flights, except those related to 
unmanned aerial vehicles.
    Advanced Air Mobility [AAM].--The Committee supports the 
FAA's updated blueprint for airspace and procedure changes to 
accommodate future air taxis and other AAM operations. The FAA 
has committed to completing the proposed special Federal 
aviation requirement which will enable commercial operations 
and pilot licensing by December 31, 2024.
    Unmanned Aircraft Systems [UAS] Test Sites.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $6,000,000 for providing matching funds 
to commercial entities that contract with an FAA-designated UAS 
test site to demonstrate or validate technologies that the FAA 
considers essential to the safe integration of UAS into the 
NAS. The Committee encourages the FAA to use up to $3,000,000 
for virtual testing at the test sites.
    UAS Airworthiness Approvals.--The Committee directs the FAA 
to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on 
its progress toward processing airworthiness approvals of low-
risk small UAS through declarative certification.
    Small UAS Procurement.--For any acquisition of small UAS 
using funds provided by the FAA, including those to Federal 
grant recipients, the FAA should require certification of 
review of the Department of Homeland Security industry alert, 
and any subsequent and relevant UAS guidance, and completion of 
a risk assessment that considers the proposed use of the 
foreign-made UAS. The Committee also directs the FAA to 
regularly brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations, on an as-needed basis, on any security risks or 
challenges identified by either agency from any small UAS or 
UAS components.
    Know Before You Fly.--The Committee supports FAA's ``Know 
Before You Fly'' public-private partnership to improve the 
safety of UAS operations.
    Aircraft Certification.--The Committee recommendation 
includes not less than $351,373,000 for aircraft certification 
service. The Committee expects the FAA to continue its efforts 
on training safety oversight personnel involved in the 
certification process through opportunities for knowledge-
sharing, including demonstration projects, between the FAA and 
industry, and access to the FAA training for the FAA employees 
and other individuals performing oversight work on behalf of 
the agency.
    Flight Standards Certification Services Oversight 
Process.--The Committee is aware of concerns with delays in the 
processing of applications and the resulting backlog contained 
in the flight standards certification services oversight 
process [CSOP] list, including applications for part 135, AAM, 
and other new entrants. The Committee recommendation includes 
$1,710,000 to increase staffing up to 12 FTP above the request 
for the general aviation safety assurance and air carrier 
safety assurance offices to help reduce the certification 
service oversight process backlog. The FAA should consider 
using its existing authority for temporary and term appointment 
positions to recruit experienced engineers, for a limited time 
duration if necessary, in order to expand the FAA's technical 
expertise. These individuals should have a specialized 
background in a line or field that is concerned with the safety 
certification of aircraft and other airborne objects and 
systems, including: aerospace engineering, aerospace 
physiology, aeronautical engineering, airworthiness 
engineering, electrical engineering, human factors engineering, 
software engineering, or systems engineering. The FAA should 
also continue to address initial certifications, work with 
industry to improve initial screening and the standardization 
of applications, and streamline the exemptions process to 
reduce the number of aviation safety inspectors necessary for 
UAS work. The Committee directs the FAA to brief the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment 
of this act on: (1) the staffing allocated to part 135 and 
other CSOP listed applications; (2) the total backlog of 
applications; (3) the time it takes to process applications; 
and (4) steps the FAA will take to provide a more timely 
process.
    Independent Study on a Future State on Type Certification 
Processes.--The Committee directs the FAA to enter into an 
agreement with an appropriate Federally-funded research and 
development center, or other independent nonprofit 
organizations with aviation policy expertise, to conduct a 
review and study to foster continuous safety improvements in 
the certification system by identifying the digital and 
modeling requirements, and the necessary policy, procedures, 
and vision, to improve the safety of aircraft certification 
activities in the future.
    Safety Management System [SMS].--The Committee applauds the 
FAA for issuing a proposed rulemaking expanding the use of SMS 
for aircraft manufacturers and charter, commuter, and air tour 
operators. The Committee directs the FAA to ensure all 
necessary plans, procedures, and staffing resources necessary 
to oversee SMS for these new entities are in place prior to 
implementation. The Committee also directs the FAA to issue a 
rulemaking requiring each person holding a certificate under 14 
CFR 119, and authorized to conduct operations in accordance 
with provisions of 14 CFR 135, to implement an SMS, as 
appropriate for their operations.
    Regulatory Process Improvements.--The Committee is aware of 
concerns about delays in the FAA's regulatory process for 
issues such as cybersecurity, pilot training standards, and 
transport airplane propulsion safety certification. The FAA 
should conduct a comprehensive review of its regulatory 
processes to improve the timeliness, transparency, and 
performance accountability in the promulgation of rules, 
regulatory policies, and guidance to the extent that such 
improvements would not reduce or deter safety. The FAA shall 
report its findings to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 120 days of the enactment of this act.
    Commercial Space Operations.--The Committee has provided 
substantial staffing increases over the last few years and 
expects the FAA to prioritize these resources for its human 
spaceflight activities, to the extent permissible under current 
law, in order to be ready for the end of the ``learning 
period'' under 51 U.S.C. 50905. The FAA should also continue 
integration of commercial space operations in the NAS and 
reduce the resulting delays to aircraft, including by working 
with commercial space operators to provide data to the space 
data integrator. The Committee is also aware of concerns with 
the FAA's approval of SpaceX's starship/super heavy launch from 
the Boca Chica spaceport on April 20, 2023. The Committee 
directs the FAA to provide a briefing on the mishap report to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to any 
future starship/super heavy launches.
    Notifications.--The Committee is disappointed with the 
FAA's lack of notifications to the Committee regarding 
significant disruptions in the FAA's ATC operations that have 
led to flight delays and cancellations. While the Committee 
understands the FAA's need to fully assess the issues at hand 
prior to notifying the Committee, far too often, the Committee 
receives notifications from second or third-hand sources 
instead of directly from the FAA. The Committee directs the FAA 
to provide prompt notifications to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations when significant disruptions occur 
in the NAS within one day of such an occurrence and to respond 
to congressional inquiries as quickly as possible.
    Human Resources.--The Committee supports the FAA's efforts 
to leverage commercially available technology to improve its 
human resources service delivery platform.
    Minority Serving Institutions [MSI] Intern Program.--The 
Committee continues to support the MSI intern program, and 
provides not less than $5,000,000 to continue this initiative. 
The FAA should prioritize interns from MSIs located in 
geographically isolated communities. In its ongoing efforts to 
increase the diversity of FAA staff, the FAA should strive to 
increase the number of interns hired in a full-time capacity 
after graduation and to work with MSI interns to identify 
barriers and challenges for individuals from underrepresented 
and underserved communities to working at the FAA.
    NAS Resource Needs.--The rapid expansion of new entrants 
into the NAS has implications for all other users of the NAS, 
as well as the FAA's ability to manage resources necessary to 
maintain the safest most efficient aerospace system in the 
world. Within 90 days of enactment of this act, the FAA is 
directed to initiate a study that compares its total current 
resources and the current resources dedicated to new entrants 
to the range of resources required to meet the needs of both 
existing users and new entrants for each fiscal year through 
fiscal year 2033. The study should also assess the extent to 
which existing and new users contribute appropriately and 
fairly to the resources needed to manage their use of the 
national airspace through 2033. In carrying out this study, the 
FAA shall consult with aerospace industry stakeholders, 
including representatives from air carriers, general aviation, 
commercial UAS interests, recreational drone system interests, 
commercial space industry, and any other representatives the 
FAA deems necessary. The FAA shall submit the results of the 
study to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
within 18 months after the initiation of this study.
    Women in Aviation Advisory Board.--In March 2022, the Women 
in Aviation Advisory Board [WIAAB], as authorized under section 
612 of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, issued 
recommendations and strategies to address the significant 
underrepresentation of women in aviation. The WIAAB identified 
several challenges that are specific to the commercial airline 
industry, given the physical constraints and scheduling needs 
related to working in a commercial aircraft. The Committee 
therefore directs the GAO to undertake a more detailed analysis 
of such barriers that are specific to the commercial airline 
industry and examine the extent to which such barriers could be 
addressed by the commercial airline industry and FAA without 
further regulations.
    Veterans' Pilot Training Program.--The Committee remains 
supportive of the veterans pilot training program, under which 
flight training schools received funding through cooperative 
agreements with the FAA to provide training and education to 
veterans to become commercial airline pilots. The Committee 
acknowledges the program's importance as a tool in helping to 
address the Nation's current commercial pilot shortage, and 
directs that any remaining funds previously appropriated for 
the program remain available for use in fiscal year 2024. The 
Committee further directs the FAA to provide the assessment 
required in the fiscal year 2022 joint explanatory statement, 
including recommendations on how to provide effective pilot 
training to veterans, within 120 days of enactment of this act.

Budget estimate, 2024...................................   3,462,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   3,429,000,000

Note: The Committee recommendation includes $469,000,000 in emergency-
designated funding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The facilities and equipment appropriation provides funding 
for modernizing and improving air traffic control and airway 
facilities, equipment, and systems. The appropriation also 
finances major capital investments required by other agency 
programs, experimental research and development facilities, and 
other improvements to enhance the safety and capacity of the 
NAS. The program aims to keep pace with the increasing demands 
of aeronautical activity and remain in accordance with the FAA 
comprehensive 5-year capital investment plan.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,429,000,000 
for the facilities and equipment account of the FAA, of which 
$469,000,000 is designated as emergency spending. The 
recommended level is $33,000,000 less than the budget request 
and $484,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. 
The Committee expects the FAA to make sound investment 
decisions and report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on any major cost overruns or delays. The 
Committee recommendation includes $15,000,000 for CDS. The 
Committee directs the FAA to provide funding for the projects 
listed in the table at the end of this report in the 
corresponding amounts. The Committee further directs that the 
specific funding allocated in the table below shall not 
diminish or prejudice the application of a specific airport or 
geographic region to receive discretionary grants or multi-year 
letters of intent.
    Major Capital Programs.--FAA major capital programs, 
including NextGen, continue to improve the safety, security, 
and reliability of FAA's critical air traffic control systems, 
as well as improving airline operations and reducing passenger 
delays by improving aircraft separation, improving flight 
planning, and optimizing re-routing of flights in real time. 
These programs incurred over $270,000,000 in cost escalations 
as a result of necessary restrictions during the COVID-19 
pandemic. While the FAA has successfully completed many 
projects over the last year, it has also had to reduce the 
scope of several projects, which could reduce the long-term 
benefits of NextGen investments. To keep the Committee apprised 
of such changes, the FAA is directed to notify the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations within 3 business days of 
the joint resources council making any final investment 
decisions, establishing a baseline for previously approved 
projects, or making acquisition program baseline changes that 
alter program performance, cost or schedule baseline.
    The following table provides allocations of funds for FAA 
facilities and equipment from the IIJA for fiscal year 2024,

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

    Offshore Automation.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$59,600,000 for offshore automation. The FAA should keep the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations up to date on 
this critical project and ensure that the project incorporate 
the needs of the FAA service operations centers, including 
equipage, cabinetry and consoles, and improved floor-space 
design.
    STARS.--The Committee is aware that the base equipment 
(hardware, monitors, and keyboards) used to operate STARS will 
reach its end of lifecycle in 2026. The FAA should develop a 
plan to review and replace this equipment as needed.
    Terminal Air Traffic Control Facilities-Replace.--The 
Committee directs the FAA to continue working to address aging 
and antiquated air traffic control facilities that it leases 
from airport authorities to ensure they are fully compliant 
with current building codes consistent with being occupied by 
air traffic controllers. The Committee recognizes that this, in 
many cases, may require the construction of new air traffic 
facilities to replace existing ones. The Committee continues to 
direct the FAA to consider creative financing options and to 
include consideration of long-term cost recovery leases, when 
conditions warrant the construction of new air traffic control 
towers. The Committee also directs the FAA to brief the House 
and Senate Committee on Appropriations on how airports in the 
contract tower program that currently have a mobile air traffic 
control tower can qualify for FAA funding for a new brick-and-
mortar air traffic control tower.
    TFDM.--The Committee recommendation includes $65,200,000 
and directs the FAA to report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the feasibility, challenges, 
and benefits of expanding the number of airports on the TFDM 
waterfall.
    Airport Ground Surveillance Portfolio.--The airport surface 
detection equipment--model X [ASDE-X] and airport surface 
surveillance capability [ASSC] systems alert to controllers of 
pending conflicts and collisions on the airport surface, and 
have been critical to reducing runway incursions. The FAA is 
directed to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the maintenance and obsolescence issues 
related to these systems, including with the multilateration 
remote units, and the feasibility of expanding air ground 
surveillance systems in more airports.
    Terminal and En Route Surveillance Portfolio.--The DoD and 
the FAA operate networks of airport surveillance radar that 
monitor the airspace for cooperative and non-cooperative 
aircraft and weather conditions for commercial flights. The FAA 
should continue its efforts to upgrade these radars to extend 
their life and avoid costly replacements.
    Landing and Lighting Portfolio.--The Committee remains 
concerned with the slow pace of installing instrument landing 
systems [ILS] previously funded and directs the FAA to develop 
a plan to install these systems. The FAA is also encouraged to 
prioritize projects at municipal-owned airports that previously 
received an approach lighting system to implement a shortened 
approach lighting system that does not allow airline pilots to 
operate in lower visibility conditions. The Committee notes 
that of the $40,000,000 for navigation and landing from fiscal 
year 2024 IIJA funds, $18,000,000 should be used for ILS 
installation.
    Military Operations Areas.--The Committee finds that radar 
and future NextGen systems capable of controlling airspace down 
to 500 feet above ground level enhances aviation safety in 
military operations areas that overlay public use airports. The 
Committee recommends that the FAA utilize existing resources to 
promptly provide radar or NextGen capability in areas with more 
than 5,000 operations per year.
    Improved Air Traffic Surveillance Services in Caribbean 
Airspace.--The Committee is aware of concerns with ADS-B 
coverage in the Caribbean airspace, which is only served by one 
long-range radar. The FAA should assess the feasibility of 
additional ADS-B ground stations in this airspace if needed to 
improve the safety, capacity, redundancy, and reliability of 
air traffic management service in this area.
    Procurement.--The FAA should exercise a procurement process 
that considers the selection of both commercially available and 
proprietary technologies, and tailors the selection based on 
the capabilities and merits of each technology, while also 
considering the implications for maintaining competition. The 
FAA should also conduct full and open competitions for the 
acquisition of new technologies and where possible for 
sustainment and enhancement efforts associated with older 
technologies.

    Advanced Materials/Structural Safety.--The Committee 
recommendation includes a total of $14,720,000 for advanced 
materials/structural safety, of which not less than $10,000,000 
shall be for the COE for joint advanced materials and 
structures [JAMS]. The Committee recommendation includes 
$6,000,000 to advance the use of these new additive materials 
(both metallic and non-metallic based additive processes) in 
the commercial aviation industry and $4,000,000 to advance the 
use of fiber reinforced composite materials in the commercial 
aviation industry through the FAA joint advanced materials and 
structures COE.
    UAS Research.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$21,128,000 for UAS research. Of this amount, $14,000,000 is 
for the UAS COE of which $2,000,000 is for transportation 
disaster preparedness and response, partnering with 
institutions that have demonstrated experience in damage 
assessment, collaboration with State transportation agencies, 
and applied UAS field testing.
    Alternative Fuels for General Aviation.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $11,201,000 for alternative fuels for 
general aviation. The Committee directs the FAA's management 
advisory council to initiate a special review of the FAA's 
actions and plans to phase out lead from aviation gasoline. The 
special review shall include the effectiveness of the FAA's 
eliminate aviation gasoline lead emissions [EAGLE] initiative, 
the role of agencies beyond the DOT and Environmental 
Protection Agency [EPA] to help expedite the phase out of lead, 
whether additional actions or measures can be taken to 
accelerate the safe transition to unleaded aviation gasoline, 
and recommendations for improving the FAA's ongoing activities, 
including additional interagency participation and support, 
with a view towards accelerating the phase out of lead from 
aviation gasoline. The FAA shall submit a summary of the 
Council's findings to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 2 years after the date of 
enactment of this act.
    Environment and Energy.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $21,000,000 for environment and energy, of which 
$8,500,000 shall be for the aviation sustainability center 
[ASCENT] COE on sustainable aviation fuels [SAFs].
    NextGen-Environmental Research-Aircraft Technologies and

which $26,500,000 shall be for the ASCENT COE on SAFs and 
aviation noise, and $38,000,000 shall be for the continuous 
lower energy, emissions, and noise [CLEEN] program. The 
Committee continues to direct the FAA to prioritize research 
related to SAFs, certification of SAFs, and challenges 
associated with the SAF supply chain. The Office of Environment 
and Energy and the Office of Airports should work together to 
identify SAF related projects at airports that can be funded 
from airport improvement program [AIP] grants. The FAA should 
also support hydrogen and fuel-cell related technologies that 
could reduce the noise and emissions footprint in future 
aircraft.
    Within the CLEEN program, the FAA may use any unused funds 
to work with commercial supersonic aircraft manufacturers that 
will help mature clean and quiet technologies for conventional 
non-supersonic aircraft manufacturers.
    SAF Assessment.--The Committee supports the Department's 
commitment to support the development of infrastructure and 
transportation systems that will connect SAF feedstock 
producers, SAF refiners, and aviation end users. Within 90 days 
of enactment of this act, the FAA is directed to update the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on these efforts, 
including an assessment of locations in FAA's Central Region 
that are near a significant Defense Logistics Agency refueling 
location.
    Aviation Grant Management.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $20,000,000 for the aviation workforce development 
programs as authorized by section 625 of the FAA 
Reauthorization Act of 2018. Funds provided for aircraft pilot 
workforce should be prioritized for applicants that can help 
increase the number of qualified pilots in commercial service 
and that demonstrate the ability to leverage private sector 
investments.
    Aircraft Accessibility Research.--The Committee directs the 
FAA to research how transport category aircraft accessibility 
can be improved. This research should include how manual and 
powered personal wheelchairs can be safely secured in the 
passenger seating areas of transport category airplanes, 
determining the optimal safe evacuation processes for persons 
with disabilities, including persons who use wheelchairs, and 
determining how various types of transport category airplanes 
could most safely and efficiently be retrofit for accessible 
lavatories. The FAA shall include the resource needs for such 
research in future budget justifications.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation on obligations of 
$3,350,000,0000 for grants-in-aid for airports for fiscal year 
2024. The recommended limitation on obligations is equal to the 
enacted level for fiscal year 2023 and the budget request.
    The Committee recommends a liquidating cash appropriation 
of $3,350,000,000 for grants-in-aid for airports. The 
recommended level is equal to the fiscal year 2023 enacted 
level and the budget request. This appropriation is sufficient 
to cover the liquidation of all obligations incurred pursuant 
to the limitation on obligations set forward in the bill.
    Administrative Expenses.--The Committee recommends not more 
than $157,475,000 to cover administrative expenses. This 
funding level is equal to the budget request and $20,103,000 
more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. Increased 
staffing should be used to support the FAA's work to help 
airports develop plans to mitigate the impact of climate change 
on airport infrastructure.
    Airport Cooperative Research.--The Committee recommends not 
less than $15,000,000 for the airport cooperative research 
program. This funding level is equal to the budget estimate and 
the fiscal year 2023 enacted level.
    Airport Technology.--The Committee recommends not less than 
$41,801,000 for airport technology research. This funding level 
is equal to the budget request and $973,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2023 enacted level. Of this amount, $6,000,000 is 
for the airfield pavement technology program authorized under 
section 744 of Public Law 115-254, of which $3,000,000 is for 
concrete pavement research and $3,000,000 is for asphalt 
pavement research.
    Small Community Air Service Development Program.--The 
Committee recommends $10,000,000. This funding level is equal 
to the fiscal year 2023 enacted level and $10,000,000 more than 
the budget request. The Committee expects the Department to 
prioritize grants to communities that lost service due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic.
    Cost Share.--The bill includes a provision that allows 
small airports to continue contributing 5 percent of the total 
cost for unfinished phased projects that were underway prior to 
the passage of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 
(Public Law 112-095).
    AIP Enplanement Levels.--The Committee directs the FAA to 
consider the full range of flight activities (such as flight 
training, air cargo, emergency response, pilot training, etc.) 
and associated metrics when considering AIP discretionary 
grants.
    Burdensome Regulations.--The FAA should continue to 
identify opportunities to eliminate unnecessary regulations, 
streamline burdensome regulations, and identify areas where 
more autonomy can be given to local jurisdictions.
    Boarding Bridges.--The Committee continues to direct the 
FAA to consult with the United States Trade Representative 
[USTR] and the United States Attorney General to develop, to 
the extent practicable, a list of entities that: (1) are a 
foreign State-owned enterprise that is identified by the USTR 
in the report required by subsection (a)(1) of section 182 of 
the Trade Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-618) and subject to 
monitoring by the USTR under section 306 of the Trade Act of 
1974; and (2) have been determined by a Federal court, after 
exhausting all appeals, to have misappropriated intellectual 
property or trade secrets from an entity organized under the 
laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United 
States. The FAA shall make such list available to the public 
and work with the USTR, to the extent practicable, to utilize 
the System for Award Management database to exclude such 
entities from being eligible for Federal non-procurement 
awards. The FAA is expected to notify the Committee of any 
significant challenges the agency faces in completing these 
actions.
    Additional Runways.--The Committee is aware of the need for 
certain commercial airports to have adequate additional runway 
capability and capacity to accommodate air carrier needs. The 
FAA should allow airports to use alternative revenue sources, 
such as passenger facility charges, for reconstruction, 
rehabilitation, or enhancement of additional runways built to 
FAA standards even when they do not meet the FAA operations 
formula. The FAA should consider various factors outside of the 
standard required operations formula or wind coverage in 
evaluating the use of AIP funds for enhancement of additional 
runways, if appropriate.
    Transition Plan to Fluorine-Free Firefighting Foam.--The 
Committee continues to direct the FAA to develop a transition 
plan for part 139 airports to use the new military 
specification [MIL-SPEC] for firefighting foam, including for 
any supplemental equipment needed to utilize these products. 
The FAA should use AIP funds to help airports transition to 
PFAS-free authorized firefighting agents. The FAA should also 
work with the EPA, DoD, industry, and academic institutions to 
find innovative solutions to safely contain or destroy existing 
PFAS chemicals at airports, such as through plasma 
gasification.
    Airport Resiliency.--The FAA shall work with the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United States 
Army Corps of Engineers to identify best practices for, and 
study the feasibility of, improving resiliency of airports in 
coastal or flood-prone areas. The FAA shall also update its 
advisory circular on airport master planning to provide 
guidance on resiliency.
    Reliever Airports.--The Committee strongly encourages the 
FAA to make grants for justified airport projects for civil use 
to reliever airports owned by the military or where the airport 
has an agreement in place with the military. The Committee 
further encourages grants to address improvements to aging 
infrastructure at these sites.

In addition, the Committee recommendation includes $200,728,000 
for CDS, for a total appropriation of $500,728,000. This amount 
is $57,827,000 less than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level and 
$500,728,000 more than the budget request. The Committee 
directs the FAA to provide funding for the projects listed in 
the table at the end of this report in the corresponding 
amounts. The Committee further directs that the specific 
funding allocated in the table below shall not diminish or 
prejudice the application of a specific airport or geographic 
region to receive other AIP discretionary grants or multi-year 
letters of intent. The Committee is aware of the importance of 
this funding for nonhub, small hub, reliever, and nonprimary 
airports.
    Zero-Emission Vehicle [ZEV] and Voluntary Airport Low 
Emissions [VALE] Programs.--The Committee supports the use of 
AIP funds for the ZEV and VALE programs and directs the FAA to 
provide not less than $25,000,000 of the funds made available 
for supplemental AIP funding from the general fund for ZEV and 
VALE eligible projects at any commercial service airport. The 
Committee expects the FAA to actively engage with airport 
sponsors at major hubs to identify projects suitable for the 
VALE program, such as energy efficiency, energy resiliency, and 
renewable energy projects that would help prevent power 
disruptions or outages.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends limiting fiscal year 2024 
obligations for the Federal-aid highway program to 
$60,095,782,888, which is equal to the budget request and 
$1,331,272,214 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level.
    Resilient Infrastructure.--The Committee directs the FHWA 
to continue to prioritize research, development, deployment, 
and demonstrations of new and proven technologies that could 
make infrastructure systems more resilient.
    Low-Carbon Materials.--The Committee directs the FHWA to 
provide up to $5,000,000 for States and Tribes to develop and 
implement low-embodied carbon construction materials standards, 
including performance-based standards, that increase the use of 
low-embodied carbon construction materials in State and Tribal 
transportation projects.
    Annual Report.--Transportation remains one of the leading 
contributors of greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions. To provide 
greater transparency on GHG emissions from on-road mobile 
sources, the Committee directs the FHWA to provide an annual 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on 
the level of carbon dioxide [CO2] emissions 
generated by on-road mobile sources, by State, for the most 
recent 5 years for which such data is available for each State 
DOT that has national highway system mileage using readily 
available data.
    Electric Vehicle [EV] Charging Infrastructure.--Under the 
national electric vehicle infrastructure formula program and 
the charging and fueling infrastructure grant program, the IIJA 
requires consideration of the long-term operation and 
maintenance of EV charging infrastructure in order to avoid 
stranded assets. Electricity rate demand charges can place an 
onerous financial burden on EV charging station owners and 
could lead to stranded assets. Section 40431 of the IIJA 
requires States to consider measures to promote greater 
electrification of the transportation sector to address 
concerns with demand charges and help accelerate third-party 
investment. The Committee directs the Department, in 
consultation with the Joint Office of Energy and 
Transportation, to consider the following when awarding 
competitive grants under the charging and fueling 
infrastructure grant program: (1) whether the state regulatory 
authority (or non-regulated utility) in the service territory 
in which the applicant is located is in compliance with the 
requirements of section 40431 of the IIJA; and (2) the impact 
of applicable electric rates on the long-term operation and 
maintenance of the EV charging infrastructure funded by the 
grant.
    Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grants.--The IIJA 
provided $2,500,000,000 over fiscal years 2022-2026 for the 
charging and refueling infrastructure grant program to 
strategically deploy publicly accessible EV charging 
infrastructure, hydrogen fueling infrastructure, propane 
fueling infrastructure, and natural gas fueling infrastructure. 
The Committee directs the Department to give fair and full 
consideration to each eligible technology and not restrict 
awards to only EV charging infrastructure if there are eligible 
meritorious applications that meet all other statutory 
requirements.
    Joint Office of Energy and Transportation.--The Committee 
encourages the Joint Office to prioritize research, 
development, deployment, and demonstrations of new and proven 
technologies for improving EV infrastructure resiliency, 
including advanced charge control optimization technology 
beyond traditional constant current, constant voltage charging. 
The Joint Office is also reminded to promptly provide the 
briefing required by the fiscal year 2023 joint explanatory 
statement on deployment of publicly accessible and affordable 
EV charging infrastructure in underserved or disadvantaged 
communities.
    Fleet and Truck Electrification.--The Joint Office should 
identify and prioritize technical assistance, research, 
workforce development, and funding opportunities for industry 
education and outreach programs to support fleets transitioning 
to electric vehicles. The Joint Office should also coordinate 
with the FHWA and stakeholders, including, but not limited to, 
administrators of state grant programs, state trucking 
associations, clean cities coalitions, and public utility 
commissions, to identify opportunities to advance 
electrification and de-carbonization of medium- and heavy-duty 
vehicles. To advance these efforts, the Joint Office should 
support research, planning, and funding for infrastructure that 
supports medium- and heavy-duty vehicle electrification, 
including high-powered charging depots, grid reliability 
solutions, smart charge management, and distributed energy 
resources, such as integration with on-site energy storage and 
renewable energy generation.
    Zero-Emission Vehicles [ZEV].--The Committee further 
directs DOT to prioritize, to the greatest extent practicable, 
charging and fueling infrastructure grant program funds to 
support ZEV infrastructure.
    Bridge Investment Program.--Title VIII of division J of the 
IIJA provides $20,000,000 for planning, feasibility analysis, 
and revenue forecasting associated with the development of a 
project that would subsequently be eligible to apply for 
assistance under the competitive bridge investment program to 
address pressing bridge needs. The Committee supports the use 
of these funds prior to the application process to improve 
project proposals.
    Appalachian Development Highway System [ADHS].--The 
Committee has yet to receive the ADHS report required by the 
joint explanatory statement accompanying the fiscal year 2020 
Consolidated Appropriations Act. The Committee continues to 
direct the FHWA to submit this report.
    Interstate Projects in the Intermountain West.--The 
Committee encourages the FHWA to work with State DOTs and local 
governments to move forward on several projects in the 
intermountain west, including I-10 improvements and I-11 
construction.
    Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program.--The Committee encourages 
the FHWA to work with States to reduce wildlife-vehicle 
collisions through quick implementation of the wildlife 
crossings pilot program authorized under 23 U.S.C. 171 by the 
IIJA and through the highway safety improvement program and 
eligibilities under 23 U.S.C. 48(a)(4)(B)(xvii). The Committee 
directs the FHWA to provide technical assistance related to the 
implementation of 23 U.S.C. 48(a)(4)(B)(xvii), as needed.
    Region Transportation Workforce Centers.--The Committee 
supports the FHWA's five region transportation workforce 
centers that engage organizations and existing programs to 
establish new strategic partnerships and promote best practices 
to educators, employers, and those on the transportation career 
pathway.
    Pavement Friction.--The Committee appreciates the FHWA's 
efforts to promote continuous pavement friction measurement 
[CPFM] through research and demonstration projects and 
including CPFM in its best practices manual for implementing 
cost-effective roadway safety infrastructure improvements on 
high-risk rural roads. To further help State DOTs adopt CPFM, 
the FHWA should finalize its safety analysis report within 1 
year of enactment of this act.
    Land Use.--The Committee directs the FHWA to work with 
State and local governments to allow underutilized property 
previously funded with Federal-aid highway program funds 
through cooperative agreement to be put to more beneficial 
uses, as permissible under current law. The FHWA shall report 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on any 
such requests from State and local governments within 60 days 
of enactment of this act.
    Federal-aid Highway Apportionments.--The Committee directs 
the GAO to conduct a study on the formulas used to determine 
Federal-aid highway apportionments, as well as highway formula 
funding in division J of the IIJA, to deliver on the national 
goals identified in 23 U.S.C. 150. The GAO's study shall 
examine how the different needs, priorities, geographies, 
roadway types, and population densities of the varying states 
align with the Federal-aid highway apportionments and formulas. 
The GAO shall consult with State DOTs, local governments, 
including metropolitan planning organizations [MPOs], and any 
other recipients of Federal-aid highway funding, and brief the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on a work plan 
for this study within 180 days of enactment of this act.
    Highway Cost Allocation Study.--The highway cost allocation 
study required by section 11530 of the IIJA is intended to 
evaluate highway-related costs attributable to different 
vehicle classes and the extent to which user fees paid by 
different vehicles cover their highway cost responsibility. The 
Committee directs the Department to provide an interim report, 
as required under section 11530(d)(1) of the IIJA, on its 
progress toward completing this study. This interim report 
should address whether any additional resources will be needed 
to comply with the requirements of section 11530 of the IIJA.
    Transportation Demand Management [TDM].--The Committee 
supports the use of TDM (including planning, programs, 
policies, marketing, communications, incentives, pricing, data, 
and technologies) as a tool for reducing congestion, but 
recognizes that each locality has to develop solutions tailored 
to their specific transportation challenges and needs. The 
Committee is also aware that while TDM is eligible under 
certain Federal-aid highway programs, not all TDM strategies 
and programs comply with the restriction on the use of Federal 
funds in 2 CFR 200. As such, the Committee directs the FHWA to 
provide guidance on what TDM strategies and tools are eligible 
for Federal-aid highway funds, and to develop best practices 
and provide additional technical assistance to State DOTs, 
MPOs, and local governments to incentivize the use of TDM.
    Safety.--The Committee remains concerned by the growing 
number of pedestrian fatalities each year involving vehicles, 
and is aware that an increasing number of municipalities are 
developing plans to significantly reduce these incidents. The 
Committee directs the FHWA to continue developing resources and 
providing technical assistance to help state and local 
stakeholders facilitate the implementation of their vision zero 
plans and strategies to reduce pedestrian fatalities and 
serious injuries. The Committee also urges the FHWA to use its 
research funding for crash data research and the development of 
test scenarios that leverage real-world data on advanced driver 
assistance systems.
    Dashboard.--The Committee notes that States are required 
meet the self-established performance measure targets under 23 
U.S.C. 150. The FHWA should increase general awareness of these 
performance measures by improving its state performance 
dashboard to make it more user-friendly and easily 
understandable.
    Material Neutrality.--The Committee supports the FHWA's 
work to promote research, development, and deployment of 
building solutions that advance the performance, 
sustainability, reliability, and resiliency of building 
materials. The Committee appreciates the FHWA's efforts to 
promote all building materials, to the extent permissible under 
current law.
    I-95 Bridge Collapse.--On June 11, 2023, a tanker truck 
carrying 8,500 gallons of gasoline crashed and erupted in 
flames under the northbound span of the I-95 bridge over 
Cottman Avenue, impacting an average 160,000 vehicles per day. 
The FHWA responded expeditiously and provided $3,000,000 in 
quick release emergency relief [ER] program funding to the 
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, which helped to open 
a temporary bridge within two weeks of the incident. The total 
cost of repairs for replacement of the bridge will be 
significantly higher, and the FHWA should continue to work with 
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to complete the repairs as 
soon as possible, including by providing additional funding as 
requested. The FHWA should also notify Congress if additional 
funding for the ER program is needed in the future. While rare, 
these types of disasters reflect the importance of the ER 
program and the FHWA should implement the improvements to the 
program required by the IIJA, including by updating the ER 
manual.
    Unobligated Balances.--The Committee directs the FHWA to 
submit a list of all unobligated balances of contract authority 
and budget authority as of September 30, 2023 to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations by December 1, 2023. The 
list of unobligated balances shall include the account name, 
program name, Treasury account symbol, amounts available, date 
of most recent obligation, and any other information that will 
help the Committee determine the status of funds. After 
submission of this list, the FHWA shall solicit feedback from 
State DOTs to identify any amounts allocated to a specific 
States that the State DOT does not intend to obligate and 
submit a list of such amounts to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations by March 1, 2024.
    Transportation Project Contracts.--The Committee is aware 
of concerns that the FHWA has released guidance explaining that 
consultants providing architectural and engineering [A&E] 
services under Federal-aid or Federal lands highway program 
funded contracts that have received paycheck protection program 
[PPP] loans must provide a refund or a reduction in billing 
rates in the amount of forgiven PPP loans that are allocable to 
contract costs. While the Committee acknowledges that this 
guidance is consistent with current law, it is also aware that 
there is a lack of uniformity in how State DOTs are 
implementing this guidance and enforcing the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation credits clause with respect to forgiven 
PPP loans. The FHWA should help ensure that A&E consultants, 
including small and disadvantaged businesses, do not face 
unreasonable compliance burdens, as permissible under current 
law.

                (LIQUIDATION OF CONTRACT AUTHORIZATION)

                          (HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)

Appropriations, 2023.................................... $59,503,510,674
Budget estimate, 2024...................................  60,792,659,888
Committee recommendation................................  60,792,659,888

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a liquidating cash appropriation 
of $60,834,782,888. The recommended level is equal to the 
budget request and the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. This 
level of liquidating authority is necessary to pay outstanding 
obligations from various highway accounts pursuant to this and 
prior appropriations acts.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $2,046,738,000 in 
funding from the general fund for highway infrastructure 
programs, which is $1,371,073,613 less than the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level and $2,046,738,000 above the budget request. 
An additional $200,000,000 is provided for HIP in section 126 
from repurposed unobligated balances of TIFIA contract 
authority. Of the total amount provided, $701,738,000 is for 
CDS, and the Committee directs the FHWA to provide funding for 
the projects listed in the table at the end of this report in 
the corresponding amounts.
    National Scenic Byways Program.--The Committee directs the 
FHWA to not include any preference for projects based on the 
total cost of the project when awarding grants under this 
program. For the purposes of this program, technical assistance 
as authorized in 23 U.S.C. 162 may include the development and 
dissemination of resources for use by States and Tribes such as 
a program website, updated maps, and economic research. The 
FHWA shall spend no less than 2 percent and no more than 5 
percent on technical assistance activities.
    Regional Infrastructure Accelerator [RIA] Demonstration 
Program.--The Committee directs the Department to select at 
least one accelerator for the RIA demonstration program that 
serves a multi-state region. The Committee directs the 
Department to give preference to RIA applications that support 
at least one project focused on public and private clean energy 
investments in the nation's intermodal freight and logistics 
networks, including efforts to reduce air emissions from 
commercial vehicles that access ports and long haul commercial 
vehicles.

        ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS-FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION

    Section 120 distributes obligation authority among Federal-
aid highway programs.
    Section 121 continues a provision that credits funds 
received by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics to the 
Federal-aid highways account.
    Section 122 sets forth parameters for any waiver of Buy 
America requirements.
    Section 123 mandates 60-day notification for any grants for 
a project under 23 U.S.C. 117 and requires these notifications 
to be made within 180 days of enactment of this act.
    Section 124 allows State DOTs to repurpose certain highway 
project funding and for those funds to be used within 25 miles 
of their original designation.
    Section 125 rescinds certain unobligated funds.
    Section 126 repurposes unobligated funds for new 
activities.
    Section 127 increases the weight limitations for certain 
vehicles on the interstate in Mississippi and West Virginia by 
special permit.

              Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total level of $951,300,000 for 
obligations from the Highway Trust Fund. This level is equal to 
the budget request and $77,650,000 more than the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level.

Committee recommendation................................     435,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation on obligations of 
$435,000,000 for the FMCSA's operations and programs, of which 
$60,000,000 is transferred from prior year unobligated contract 
authority. The recommendation is $67,500,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2023 enacted level and equal to the budget request. 
Of the total limitation on obligations, $14,073,000 is for 
research and technology, not less than $99,098,000 is for 
information technology and information management, and not less 
than $24,000,000 is for a study of causal factors of medium-
duty truck crashes. The Committee recommends $346,000,000 for 
the liquidation of contract authorization, equal to the budget 
request, due to the availability of excess liquidating cash 
associated with repurposed contract authority.
    Safe Driver Apprenticeship Pilot.--Section 23022 of the 
IIJA authorized an apprenticeship pilot program for employers 
to hire and train individuals under the age of 21 as commercial 
drivers in interstate commerce. The Secretary must 
simultaneously ensure that the level of safety of participants 
in the pilot program is equivalent to, or greater than, the 
level of safety of more experienced drivers that are eligible 
to perform such services under current law. The IIJA requires 
that the driver in training be accompanied by an experienced 
driver and may only operate a commercial vehicle that has: (1) 
an automatic manual or automatic transmission, (2) an active 
braking collision mitigation system, (3) a forward-facing video 
event capture system, and (4) a governed speed of 65 miles per 
hour during the probationary training period. The Committee 
supports the Department's implementation and administration of 
the pilot program. However, additional requirements, such as 
mandating the use of inward-facing cameras, create additional 
participation standards that could be considered intrusive when 
other technologies are in place. Thereby, the Department is 
directed to take appropriate actions to ensure safety and the 
protection of personal privacy, as well as data metrics that 
are easily collectible, rational, and reasonably linked to 
current safety requirements.
    Information Technology [IT] and Information Management [IM] 
CIP.--The Committee recommendation includes not less than 
$99,098,000 for IT and IM modernization activities. The 
Committee continues to direct the FMCSA to provide a spending 
plan for the amounts provided for IT and IM and to update the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on modernizing 
its legacy systems no less than annually.
    Training Oversight.--The Committee is aware of concerns 
that some entities listed on the FMCSA's training provider 
registry [TPR] may be in violation of the entry-level training 
requirements established by regulation. The Committee supports 
the FMCSA's efforts to improve transparency and enforcement of 
the entry-level driver training requirements, and directs the 
FMCSA to update its procedures for removing providers from the 
TPR to ensure full consistency with 49 CFR 380.723 no later 
than October 31, 2023.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation on obligations and 
authority to liquidate an equal amount of contract 
authorization of $516,300,000 for motor carrier safety grants. 
The recommended limitation is $10,150,000 more than the fiscal 
year 2023 enacted level and equal to the budget request.

 ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY ADMINISTRATION

    Section 130 requires the FMCSA to send notice of 49 CFR 
385.308 violations by certified mail, registered mail, or some 
other manner of delivery which records receipt of the notice by 
the persons responsible for the violations.
    Section 131 prohibits funds from being used to enforce the 
electronic logging device rule with respect to carriers 
transporting livestock or insects.
    Section 132 prohibits funds from being used to require the 
use of inward-facing cameras or require a motor carrier to be 
enrolled in the Department of Labor's registered apprenticeship 
program as conditions for participation in the safe driver 
apprenticeship pilot program.

             National Highway Traffic Safety Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA] 
was established as a separate organizational entity within the 
Department of Transportation in March 1970 in order to 
administer motor vehicle and highway safety programs. It is the 
successor agency to the National Highway Safety Bureau, which 
was housed within the FHWA. NHTSA is responsible for 
administering motor vehicle safety, highway safety behavior, 
motor vehicle information, and automobile fuel economy 
programs.
    NHTSA's mission is to reduce deaths, injuries, and economic 
losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes. To accomplish 
these goals, NHTSA establishes and enforces safety performance 
standards for motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment, 
investigates safety defects in motor vehicles, and conducts 
research on driver behavior and traffic safety. NHTSA provides 
grants and technical assistance to State and local governments 
to enable them to conduct effective local highway safety 
programs. Together with State and local partners, NHTSA works 
to reduce the threat of drunk, impaired, and distracted 
driving, and to promote policies and devices with demonstrated 
safety benefits, including helmets, child safety seats, 
airbags, and graduated licenses. NHTSA establishes and ensures 
compliance with fuel economy standards, investigates odometer 
fraud, establishes and enforces vehicle anti-theft regulations, 
and provides consumer information on a variety of motor vehicle 
safety topics.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $1,236,501,000, including both 
budget authority and limitations on the obligation of contract 
authority. This funding is $82,062,000 less than the 
President's request and $34,281,000 more than the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level.

                        OPERATIONS AND RESEARCH

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee provides $423,200,000 for operations and 
research, which is $82,062,000 less than the President's budget 
request and $16,200,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted 
level. Of the total amount recommended for Operations and 
Research, $222,000,000 is from the general fund, and 
$201,200,000 is from the Highway Trust Fund.
    Rulemakings.--With 61 rulemakings on the spring 2023 
regulatory agenda, NHTSA has one of the largest and most 
important regulatory agendas in the Department. However, 
NHTSA's pace of progress in advancing rulemakings, including 
those mandated by Congress, remains excessively slow. Each 
update to the regulatory agenda leads to more and more delays 
to critical rulemakings and the agency needs to communicate the 
reasons for these delays to Congress and stakeholders.
    The IIJA requires NHTSA to provide a biannual report on the 
status of 16 specific congressionally mandated rulemakings, but 
NHTSA has yet to provide this simple report almost 2 years 
after the IIJA was enacted. NHTSA has also not provided a 
report on the status of the advanced impaired driving 
technology rulemaking as required by this Committee. In order 
to increase the visibility of NHTSA's ongoing regulatory work, 
the Committee directs NHTSA's Office of the Administrator to 
provide quarterly briefings to the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations on the progress made each quarter for each 
rulemaking on the regulatory agenda. The briefings shall 
include an assessment of whether, and to what extent, the 
statutory requirement of 49 U.S.C. 30111 requiring NHTSA's 
rulemakings to be ``practicable, meet the need for motor 
vehicle safety, and be stated in objective terms'' conflicts 
with or presents barriers to completing each rulemaking.
    NHTSA's annual congressional justification document 
provides an inadequate level of information for the Committee 
to evaluate the impact of funding requests on the research, 
development, and regulatory work needed to advance major 
rulemakings. The Committee reiterates its direction for the 
agency to identify major planned activities in its research 
programs and provide an explanation of how these research 
activities align with its regulatory agenda.
    Automatic Emergency Braking.--The IIJA requires NHTSA to 
move forward on rulemakings related to automatic emergency 
braking [AEB] and other advanced driver assistance systems that 
will help reduce pedestrian fatalities. NHTSA's most recent 
fatality analysis reporting system reported that 75 percent of 
pedestrian fatalities occur at night and 65 percent of 
pedestrian fatalities involve vehicles traveling faster than 37 
miles per hour. The Committee directs NHTSA to brief the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the extent to which 
the AEB and other driver assistance system rulemakings will 
reduce pedestrian fatalities under these conditions and the 
timeline of finalizing these regulations within 30 days of 
enactment of this act.
    Digital Alert Technology.--The Committee continues to 
support use of digital alert technologies that can provide up-
to-date information about dynamic conditions on roads to 
drivers. NHTSA should deploy this technology with local law 
enforcement in the field.
    Crashworthiness.--The Committee is aware that lightweight 
plastics and polymer composites can improve automotive safety, 
meet consumer demand for innovative and autonomous vehicles, 
increase fuel efficiency, and support new highly skilled 
manufacturing jobs in the United States. The Committee directs 
NHTSA to continue to leverage lessons learned from its own 
lightweight materials research, as well as research conducted 
by the DOE and by industry stakeholders, in its development of 
safety-centered approaches for future lightweight automotive 
design, including traditional, advanced propulsion, and 
autonomous vehicles.
    Unrepaired Recalls.--The Committee remains concerned with 
vehicles operating on the roadways that have not been repaired 
appropriately based on a vehicle safety recall. The Committee 
encourages NHTSA to identify initiatives with public, private, 
and non-profit partners that aim to increase recall awareness 
and completion rates without taxpayer expense, and to consider 
ways to leverage these types of efforts, as NHTSA finds 
appropriate, to further reduce the number of vehicles with 
unrepaired recalls. The Committee also directs NHTSA to provide 
an update within 180 days of enactment of this act to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its progress.
    Volpe Report.--The Committee once again directs NHTSA to 
submit the Volpe report on advanced drunk driving prevention 
systems immediately, as required by this Committee in fiscal 
years 2022 and 2023.
    New Car Assessment Program [NCAP].--The Committee remains 
concerned about the substantially higher rates at which women 
are likely to be killed or injured in a vehicle crash and 
directs NHTSA to continue to address gender inequity in NCAP by 
using advanced crash test dummy technology that is more 
representative of women. In addition, NHTSA is directed to 
issue a final decision notice of the NCAP updates proposed in 
March 2022 [Docket No. NHTSA-2021-0002] within 90 days of 
enactment of this act. By December 2023, NHTSA shall also 
provide a final roadmap to adopt the most technologically 
advanced safety equipment, including the most advanced 
anthropomorphic test dummies already used in motor vehicle 
crash tests by other global regulators, and test procedures 
available in the global and domestic marketplace that can be 
used to physically validate the safety of occupants within 
motor vehicles. This roadmap should require the same frontal 
crash tests for both male and female drivers.
    Drug-Impaired Driving.--The Committee remains concerned 
about the rates of drug-impaired driving and supports NHTSA's 
drug-impaired driving initiative, research initiatives, and 
continued education and training efforts with law enforcement 
and prosecutors, such as drug recognition expert and advanced 
roadside impaired driving enforcement training. The Committee 
encourages the collection of toxicology data in fatal 
accidents, and the development of an objective standard to 
measure drug impairment and related field sobriety tests.
    The Committee directs NHTSA to provide the briefing 
required under this heading in House Report 117-402 as adopted 
by Public Law 117-328 on the progress it has made in 
implementing section 25026 of the IIJA. The Committee also 
directs NHTSA to provide States with flexibility, as 
permissible under current law, to use impaired driving 
countermeasures grants for these purposes.
    The Committee continues to direct NHTSA to issue clarifying 
guidance on the eligible uses of highway safety program grants 
for gathering data on individuals in fatal car crashes for 
substance impairments, where permissible under current law.
    Lateral Protection Devices.--Section 23011 of the IIJA 
requires the Secretary to conduct research on side underride 
guards. The Committee directs the Secretary to also conduct 
research on lateral protection devices [LPDs] to address the 
safety of bicyclists, pedestrians, and other vulnerable road 
users. This research shall include the size, height, and weight 
of LPDs and the effect on vulnerable road users in scenarios 
where the truck continues straight or the truck is turning or 
changing lanes. The research shall further include societal co-
benefits of LPDs, including, but not limited to, effects on 
truck fuel consumption due to aerodynamic LPD design and 
overlap with existing aerodynamic fairings, enhanced truck 
driver visibility for awareness of vulnerable road users next 
to trailers, and improved truck detection by automotive safety 
systems such as AEB.
    Automated Vehicles [AVs].--The Committee supports NHTSA's 
work to modernize existing Federal motor vehicle safety 
standards and improve its capacity for rulemakings, 
regulations, and research related to AVs, which have the 
potential to reduce roadway fatalities and promote 
accessibility and mobility for all. The Committee supports the 
creation of the Office of Automation Safety within the Office 
of Rulemaking to support the safe deployment of AVs by 
developing and setting safety standards, evaluating exemption 
petitions, and overseeing safety demonstrations. The Committee 
directs up to $17,000,000 for the Office of Automation Safety 
for these activities and the hiring of up to ten new positions. 
The Committee also directs NHTSA to move forward with safety 
demonstration programs aimed at furthering United States 
leadership on AVs and to work with Congress to develop safety 
standards and a regulatory framework for AV testing, 
manufacturing, and deployment. In the most recent regulatory 
agenda, NHTSA is anticipated to issue a proposed rulemaking to 
develop a framework for the review and assessment of automated 
driving system [ADS]-equipped vehicles, in order to advance 
self-driving technology development and deployment in the 
United States in a safe and transparent manner while informing 
the agency's approach to future rulemaking and oversight in 
October 2023. The Committee expects NHTSA to brief the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on any challenges it 
faces in moving forward with this rulemaking by October 2023. 
NHTSA should adjudicate all stakeholder comments to the 
proposed rulemaking and issue a final rule within six months of 
enactment of this act. The Committee also supports NHTSA's 
ongoing cooperative work for analytics research in traffic 
safety and its focus on real-world insights that can improve 
the performance of AV safety technologies. NHTSA should 
consider expanding the program to include more leading-edge 
technology in order to develop datasets to aid with rulemaking 
and regulation of next generation vehicle safety technologies. 
NHTSA may use up to $3,500,000 to research advanced driver-
assistance systems and automated driving systems testing and 
evaluation platforms using virtual simulation and synthetic 
data generation, which have the potential to enhance NHTSA's 
ability to assess the safety of these systems.

                    Federal Railroad Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal Railroad Administration [FRA] became an 
operating administration within the Department of 
Transportation on April 1, 1967. It incorporated the Bureau of 
Railroad Safety from the Interstate Commerce Commission, the 
Office of High Speed Ground Transportation from the Department 
of Commerce, and the Alaska Railroad from the Department of the 
Interior. The FRA is responsible for planning, developing, and 
administering programs to achieve safe operating and mechanical 
practices in the railroad industry. Grants to the National 
Railroad Passenger Corporation [Amtrak] and other financial 
assistance programs to rehabilitate and improve the railroad 
industry's physical infrastructure are also administered by the 
FRA.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    Under the Committee recommendation, a total program level 
of $3,400,789,000 is provided for the activities of the FRA in 
fiscal year 2024. The recommendation is $1,369,669,000 less 
than the budget request and $3,239,000 less than the fiscal 
year 2023 enacted level. This amount is in addition to the 
$13,200,000,000 in advance appropriations in the IIJA for

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recognizes the importance of taking a 
holistic approach to improving railroad safety and supports a 
comprehensive strategy of data-driven regulatory and inspection 
efforts, proactive approaches to identify and mitigate risks, 
and strategic capital investments in order to improve safety. 
The Committee recommends $267,799,000 for Safety and Operations 
for fiscal year 2024, which is $5,679,000 less than the budget 
request and $17,330,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted 
level. The funding provided, with carryover balances, is 
sufficient to fund safety positions as requested.
    Inspector Workforce.--The Committee is strongly concerned 
with the current level of safety inspectors. In fiscal year 
2021 and 2022, the inspector workforce fell to 343 positions, 
despite available resources for up to 370 positions. The 
Committee directs the FRA to increase staffing for this 
critical safety workforce, which should be the top staffing 
priority of the agency at this time.
    Automated Track Inspection Program [ATIP].--The Committee 
recommendation includes no less than $17,000,000 for ATIP to 
support the FRA's fleet of advanced inspection vehicles that 
compliment FRA's field inspectors, to validate the railroads 
inspection programs and advance research priorities. The FRA 
shall continue to prioritize the inspection of routes 
transporting passengers and hazardous materials.
    System Safety.--The Committee recognizes that continued 
investments in critical freight and passenger rail 
infrastructure programs will make our rails, railcars, and 
trains safer and urges the FRA to continue prioritizing 
investments in safety and maintenance standardization across 
the industry. It is valuable to leverage FRA or third party 
testing to ensure standards are being created and adhered to in 
order to maximize the efficiency of infrastructure and protect 
commerce. These safety and maintenance standards will ensure 
the development of technologies designed to verify the 
functional performance of complex onboard and wayside 
electronic systems such as, but not limited to: positive train 
control [PTC], automated train control, passenger door control, 
train communications, computer based train control, propulsion 
systems, power distribution, braking systems, land mobile radio 
testing, train environmental control, and railcar signs. This 
will also aid in the reduction of a carbon footprint and other 
environmental challenges. The Committee recognizes the 
importance of deploying these technologies and acknowledges 
investments made in such technologies and maintenance depot 
facilities across the country. The Committee urges the FRA to 
continue working with industry to develop standardized 
performance verification, test, diagnostics, and repair for 
such systems as well as new technology to tackle the state of 
good repair backlog.
    Blocked Crossings.--The Committee urges the FRA to require 
States receiving funding through the state participation grant 
program to require first responders to report verified blocked 
crossing incidents to the FRA blocked crossing portal. The 
Committee directs the FRA to continue working with stakeholders 
to identify the root causes of blocked crossing incidents and 
to identify meaningful solutions to prevent future occurrences.
    The Committee directs the FRA to include in the next annual 
public report required under section 22404(j) of Public Law 
117-58 potential solutions and best practices to improve 
safety, mobility, and emergency response capabilities at 
highway-rail crossings. Recognizing that both railroad 
operational practices and local circumstances lead to the 
occurrence of blocked crossings, the report will be informed by 
FRA's outreach to stakeholders, including railroads, 
communities, first responders, labor, and state and local 
authorities. The report should include: (1) best practices for 
engaging the railroad with the public, labor, police, highway 
officials and other stakeholders; (2) how current and future 
technology can be used to identify impacted high risk or 911-
critical locations; (3) what role train length plays in blocked 
crossings; (4) how to mitigate impacts from crossing blockage; 
(5) how to improve mobility for both pedestrians and motorists; 
(6) how to improve community level emergency response 
capabilities; (7) how to identify crossing blockage or other 
mobility constraints at passive crossings that are not a part 
of the national PTC environment; and (8) how to incorporate 
data from the FRA crossing blockage reporting website, or other 
data sources to ensure effective emergency and response plans.

                   RAILROAD RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $44,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      59,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      59,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The railroad research and development program provides 
science and technology support for the FRA's rail safety 
rulemaking and enforcement efforts. It also supports 
technological advances in conventional and high-speed 
railroads, as well as evaluations of the role of railroads in 
the Nation's transportation system.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $59,000,000 
for railroad research and development as authorized by section 
22102 of the IIJA, which is equal to the budget request and 
$15,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level.
    Rolling Stock Equipment and Components [RSEC] Maintenance 
and Inspection.--The recommendation includes no less than 
$5,000,000 to support RSEC research in order to evaluate, test, 
and demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of automated 
inspection and maintenance equipment and procedures. The FRA 
shall conduct an evaluation of existing wayside automated 
inspection/defect detector technologies to assess manufacturer 
performance, recommended practices, industry-developed 
voluntary consensus technical standards, and railroad safety 
data. The agency shall also conduct an assessment of existing 
operational alert thresholds, trending algorithms, and response 
protocols to determine the appropriate metrics and conditions 
upon which wayside defect detector systems identify unsafe 
equipment or operations in real-time, including standards 
relating to maintenance, testing, inspection, installation, and 
use of the wayside defect detector systems. This investment 
will inform and verify the capabilities and limitations of 
existing technologies in order to establish standards for 
commercially available systems. Ensuring the reliability of 
these automated technologies and the integrity of the 
operational parameters of their use on the general railroad 
system will help to predict and prevent future failures, 
improve rolling stock capabilities and performance, and 
increase overall railroad safety.
    RSEC Train Handling and Operating Practices.--The Committee 
directs the FRA to provide a report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the findings and 
recommendations from the very long trains study. This research 
will provide an assessment of emerging long train operational 
safety, including train handling on crew efficiency and 
fatigue. By analyzing the industry trends for longer trains and 
the impact of train makeup, handling, and operations, the FRA 
can conduct the necessary analytical and technical basis to 
develop equipment safety standards for brake systems and 
associated bearing lubrication and their impact on wheel 
performance. The Committee expects this research and the 
subsequent safety standards to reduce the likelihood of 
derailments from equipment failures, as well as foster the 
development of wayside and onboard technologies that can 
provide continuous component health monitoring.
    Short Line Safety Institute [SLSI].--The Committee remains 
supportive of the FRA's efforts, in partnership with short line 
and regional railroads, to build a stronger, more sustainable 
safety culture in this segment of the rail industry and 
includes $2,500,000 to fund the SLSI and its mission, including 
continued efforts to improve the safe transportation of crude 
oil, other hazardous materials, freight, and passenger rail.
    Research Partnerships with Universities.--The Committee's 
recommendation includes up to $5,000,000 for partnerships with 
qualified universities on research related to improving the 
safety, capacity, and efficiency of the Nation's rail 
infrastructure, including $1,000,000 for research on 
intelligent railroad systems. This includes basic and applied 
research related to rolling stock; operational reliability; 
infrastructure; inspection technology; maintenance; energy 
efficiency; the development of rail safety technologies such as 
positive train control; grade crossing safety improvements; and 
derailment prevention, particularly for trains carrying 
passengers and hazardous materials. Research conducted in 
conjunction with the FRA at universities should also be 
structured to facilitate the education and training of the next 
generation of professionals in rail engineering and 
transportation.
    Emissions Reduction and Alternative Fuel Locomotives.--The 
Committee supports research to hasten the commercial viability 
of clean energy and alternative fuels options for use in 
locomotives, including electrification, batteries and other 
energy storage systems, hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, 
biodiesel, renewable diesel, and other forms of alternative 
fuels. The Committee recommendation includes not less than 
$2,500,000 to further the research, development, testing, and 
demonstration of innovative technologies and solutions for 
alternative fuels for locomotives, engine improvements, and 
motive power technologies. The Department is directed to 
coordinate this research in collaboration with the DOE, 
railroads, and rail suppliers and to ensure that any research 
will advance the ongoing efforts of those entities.
    University Rail Research and Development COE.--The 
Committee supports the FRA's intent to use $2,500,000 of the 
resources provided to support the establishment of a rail 
research and development COE as authorized in Section 22413 of 
the IIJA. The COE is intended to advance basic and applied 
research, evaluation, education, workforce development, and 
training efforts related to safety, project delivery, 
efficiency, reliability, resiliency, and sustainability of 
urban commuter, intercity high-speed, and freight rail 
transportation.

    Regional Rail Planning.--Of the funds provided under this 
heading in this act and in Public Law 117-58 for fiscal year 
2024, the Committee directs the Secretary to exercise the 
authorities under 49 U.S.C. 24911(k) to withhold 5 percent of 
the total amounts made available to carry out planning and 
development activities related to the corridor identification 
and development program authorized under 49 U.S.C. 25101. This 
funding maybe used to provide assistance to public entities for 
the development of service development plans; facilitating and 
providing guidance for intercity passenger rail systems 
planning; and funding for the development and refinement of 
intercity passenger rail systems planning analytical tools and 
models.
    NEC Project Dashboards.--The Committee directs the 
Northeast Corridor Commission to make publicly available on the 
agency's website a dashboard for each Northeast Corridor 
project that receives funding under this heading that 
summarizes key performance indicators and associated project 
timelines. The dashboard for each project shall include the 
amount of funding awarded, steps needed to complete the 
project, estimated time left until completion of the project, 
and the amount and status of matching contributions for the 
project award. These dashboards should be used to support all 
aspects of a project from planning through post construction 
and can include both manual and automated systems.

    CONSOLIDATED RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE AND SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS GRANTS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $535,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     510,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     572,861,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The consolidated rail infrastructure and safety 
improvements grants program [CRISI] was authorized to improve 
the safety, efficiency, and reliability of passenger and 
freight rail systems. Eligible activities include a wide range 
of freight and passenger rail capital, safety, technology 
deployment, planning, environmental analysis, research, 
workforce development, and training projects as authorized 
under 49 U.S.C. 22907. Eligible recipients include States, 
local governments, Class II and Class III railroads, Amtrak, 
and other intercity passenger rail operators, rail carriers and 
equipment manufacturers that partner with an eligible public-
sector applicant, the Transportation Research Board, university 
transportation centers, and non-profit rail labor 
organizations. As authorized, the program requires a minimum 
non-Federal share of 20 percent, that preference be given to 
projects with at least a 50 percent non-Federal match, and that 
at least 25 percent of the funds be provided to projects in 
rural areas.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $572,861,000 for the CRISI 
program, which is $62,861,000 more than the budget request and 
$37,861,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. This 
amount is in addition to the $1,000,000,000 in advance 
appropriations made available in the IIJA. Within the amounts 
made available in this act, the recommendation includes 
$72,861,000 to accommodate CDS for eligible projects. The 
Committee directs the FRA to provide funding for those projects 
listed in the table at the end of this report in the 
corresponding amounts. The Committee further directs that the 
specific funding allocated in the table at the end of this 
report shall not diminish or prejudice any application or 
geographic region to receive other discretionary grants or 
loans.
    Railroad Workforce Development Program.--The Committee 
directs that not less than $5,000,000 of the funds made 
available under this heading be directed to develop and execute 
workforce development, training, and apprenticeship programs. 
With the investments in the IIJA to bring the Nation's rail 
network into a state of good repair, this funding will help to 
support the workforce necessary to effectively execute these 
projects.

              THE NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION

Appropriations, 2023....................................  $2,453,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................   3,068,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,454,475,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$2,454,475,000 for Amtrak, which is $613,525,000 less than the 
budget request and $1,475,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level. The amount is in addition to the $4,400,000,000 
in advance appropriations made available in the IIJA, which is 
limited to only capital projects to address the state of good 
repair backlog.
    Charter Trains and Private Cars.--The Committee continues 
to applaud Amtrak's efforts to make itself financially more 
sustainable through a business-like approach to its operations. 
Amtrak is directed to once again report on the impact of its 
policies to charter trains and private trains in the fiscal 
year 2025 budget request, and to include the amounts and 
percentages by which revenues and usage declined, including 
separate figures for charter trains run with Amtrak-owned and 
with privately-owned cars. Amtrak should also continue to 
update the list of eligible locations for private car moves and 
continue to evaluate such locations going forward. Amtrak 
should continue to strive to improve public outreach and offer 
its stakeholders an opportunity to comment on policies that 
affect services prior to finalizing any such decisions.
    Amtrak Station Agents.--Amtrak is required to provide 
station agents, which included either Amtrak ticket agents or 
caretakers, at all Amtrak stations that had a ticket agent 
position eliminated in fiscal year 2018. Amtrak is again 
directed to communicate and collaborate with local partners and 
take into consideration the unique needs of each community, 
including impacts to local jobs, when making decisions related 
to the staffing of Amtrak stations.
    Food and Beverage.--The Committee urges Amtrak to provide 
food and beverage services in a cost effective manner 
consistent with available revenue and Federal funds. The 
Committee directs Amtrak to periodically update the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations on the food and beverage 
offerings, new initiatives, and operating loss, as appropriate.
    Services.--The Committee is concerned with any potential 
offshoring of services contracts and the potential displacement 
of U.S. labor. Amtrak should take the necessary affirmative 
steps to ensure the contracts for customer service, 
professional, and IT services, including such subsidiary 
services, shall be performed within the United States.

     NORTHEAST CORRIDOR GRANTS TO THE NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER 
                              CORPORATION

    The Committee recommends $1,141,442,000 for northeast 
corridor grants to Amtrak. The funding level provided includes 
$5,000,000 for the Northeast Corridor Commission established 
under 49 U.S.C. 24905 which is in addition to the $5,000,000 in 
advance appropriations made available for the northeast 
corridor commission in the IIJA.

 NATIONAL NETWORK GRANTS TO THE NATIONAL RAILROAD PASSENGER CORPORATION

    The Committee recommends $1,313,033,000 for national 
network grants to Amtrak. The funding level provided includes 
$3,000,000 for use of the State-Supported Route Committee 
established in the FAST Act (Public Law 114-94), which is in 
addition to the $3,000,000 made available in advance 
appropriations in the IIJA.
    National Network Services.--Amtrak's long-distance routes 
provide much needed transportation access in hundreds of 
communities and for rural areas where mobility options are 
limited. Equally important are routes that provide service to 
rural areas from urban areas along the northeast corridor. The 
Senate has previously expressed a sense of Congress that long-
distance passenger routes should be sustained to ensure 
connectivity for the millions of riders that support 325 
communities in 40 States that rely on this service. The 
Committee does not support proposals that will inevitably lead 
to long-term or permanent service cuts or segmentation of 
routes, which will lead to less service for rural communities.
    Corridor and Identification and Development Program 
[CIDP].--Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 25101, the FRA established the 
CIDP in May 2023 to facilitate the development of intercity 
passenger rail corridors across the Nation, including passenger 
rail services as defined under 49 U.S.C. 26106(b)(4). Eligible 
entities include Amtrak, States, groups of States, entities 
implementing interstate compacts, regional passenger rail 
authorities, regional planning organizations, political 
subdivisions of a State, Federally recognized Indian Tribes, 
and other public entities as determined by the Secretary. Once 
corridors are selected, the Secretary shall partner with 
eligible entities that submitted each proposal, relevant 
States, and Amtrak, as appropriate, to prepare a service 
development plan to help advance the implementation of the 
intercity passenger rail service. To facilitate this effort, 
the Committee recommendation includes up to $60,000,000 for 
Amtrak to carryout activities for corridors selected under 
CIDP, as authorized by section 22101(h) of Public Law 117-58.

       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS-FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION

                        (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

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

                     Federal Transit Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    Under the Committee recommendations, a total program level 
of $16,865,161,000 is provided for FTA programs in fiscal year 
2024. The recommendation is $162,839,000 less than the budget 
request and $103,298,000 less than the fiscal year 2023 enacted 
level. This amount is in addition to the $4,250,000,000 in 
advance appropriations in the IIJA for fiscal year 2024.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends limiting obligations and the 
liquidation of contract authorizations in the transit formula 
and bus grants account in fiscal year 2024 to $13,990,000,000. 
The recommendation is equal to the budget request and 
$356,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. The 
level of funding provided supports the increased staffing 
resources as requested for a total of 819 FTP. However, the 
additional positions should be more focused on regional 
staffing increases to address workload demands and directs no 
less than 10 of the proposed positions in headquarters to be 
allocated to regional offices with high demand, such as region 
9 and 10.

                     TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $541,959,324
Budget estimate, 2024...................................................
Committee recommendation................................     268,261,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $268,261,000 in transit 
infrastructure grants to remain available until expended, which 
is $273,698,324 less than fiscal year 2023 enacted level and 
$268,261,000 more than the budget request. An additional 
$179,790,000 is repurposed from prior year activities for 
similar activities under currently authorized programs for a 
total of $448,051,000. Of the funds provided: (1) $80,000,000 
is available for buses and bus facilities grants authorized 
under 49 U.S.C. 5339, and $81,863,000 in repurposed funding for 
a total of $161,863,000 in additional budgetary authority for 
fiscal year 2024; (2) $46,000,000 is available for low or no 
emission grants authorized under 49 U.S.C. 5339(c), and 
$4,009,000 in repurposed funding for a total of $50,009,000 in 
additional budget authority for fiscal year 2024; (3) 
$20,000,000 is provided for ferry boat grant grants authorized 
under 49 U.S.C. 5307(h); (4) $2,000,000 is available for bus 
testing facilities authorized under section 5318 of such title; 
(5) $10,000,000 is available for accelerating innovating 
mobility demonstration projects authorized under 49 U.S.C. 
5312; (6) $45,187,000 in repurposed funding provided for areas 
of persistent poverty; (7) $5,000,000 is available for 
accelerating zero emission buses as authorized under 49 U.S.C. 
5312; (8) $82,247,000 is provided for CDS; and (9) $23,014,000 
is provided for rural ferry boat grants under section 71103 of 
Public Law 117-58. The Committee further directs that the 
specific funding allocated for CDS in the table at the end of 
this report shall not diminish or prejudice the application of 
a specific project or geographic region to receive other 
discretionary grants or loans. The Committee recommendation 
includes funding from the general fund, and the funding is not 
subject to any limitation on obligations.
    Transit Vehicle Innovation Deployment Centers [TVIDC].--The 
Committee supports the continued use of FTA's TVIDC program to 
develop solutions to the challenges transit operators and bus 
original equipment manufacturer's face as they move to full 
scale adoption of zero-emission transit technologies. The 
Committee directs the FTA to utilize the TVIDC program to focus 
research on efficiency improvements, including more efficient 
HVAC systems, safer and more efficient drive and brake-by-wire 
systems, integrated cooling systems, improved electric drive 
technologies, and increasing understanding and skill sets 
within transit agencies in regards to planning, procuring, and 
deploying zero-emission buses [ZEB] using TVIDC's industry-wide 
coordination structure for the development and testing of ZEB 
components and vehicles.
    Cost Escalations.--The Committee recognizes that cost 
escalations can reduce the impact of prior transit grant 
awards. The Committee encourages the FTA to work with grantees 
when cost adjustments or other factors impacting the completion 
of projects become necessary to address.
    Critical Components.--The Committee encourages the FTA to 
work with the Made in America Office within OMB to utilize all 
available authorities to ensure critical components of ferry 
vessels acquired with FTA funds are not excluded as a result of 
49 U.S.C. 5232(j). Critical components include items vital to 
relatability, safety, and performance such as propulsion 
systems.

under the heading ``Transit Formula Grants'' as authorized by 
the IIJA.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total of $7,500,000 for 
technical assistance and training, which is $500,000 less than 
the budget request and equal to the fiscal year 2023 enacted 
level. The Committee recognizes the need among transit 
providers serving small cities, rural areas, and disadvantaged 
communities for technical assistance to help them take 
advantage of new technologies, including ride-hailing 
applications, autonomous shuttles, and micro-transit 
innovations that are transforming how Americans use public 
transportation. This funding will provide rural and small city 
transit operators with hands-on technical assistance that will 
facilitate the adoption of these new tools.
    Cooperative Agreements.--The Committee includes $1,500,000 
for a cooperative agreement with a technical assistance center 
to assist small urban, rural, and Tribal public transit 
recipients and planning organizations with applied innovation 
and capacity building that helps these grantees and sub-
recipients successfully incorporate more low- and zero-emission 
transit vehicles in their fleets, develop effective post-
pandemic transit service strategies and configurations, 
establish responsive and equitable forms of transit in 
historically underserved areas, and assisting rural and urban 
areas with changing mode-share strategies, particularly with 
respect to changing patterns of urban growth and transit need 
as indicated by the 2020 decennial census. The Committee 
recommendation also includes $2,500,000 for a cooperative 
agreement to a national non-profit organization with a 
demonstrated capacity to develop and provide workforce 
development and standards based training in maintenance and 
operations within the public transportation industry.

program includes funding for four categories of eligible 
projects authorized under 49 U.S.C. 5309, and section 3005(b) 
of the FAST Act (Public Law 114-94): new starts, small starts, 
core capacity, and the expedited project delivery pilot 
program.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $2,450,000,000 for capital 
investment grants, which is $240,000,000 more than the fiscal 
year 2023 enacted level, and $400,000,000 less than the budget 
request.
    Project Management Oversight [PMO] Activities.--The 
Committee directs the FTA to continue to submit to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations the quarterly PMO 
reports for each project with a full funding grant agreement.
    Full Funding Grant Agreements [FFGAs].--Section 5309(k) of 
title 49, United States Code, requires that the FTA notify the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, as well as the 
House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the 
Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, 30 
days before executing a FFGA. In its notification to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations, the Committee directs 
the FTA to submit the following information: (1) a copy of the 
proposed FFGA; (2) the total and annual Federal appropriations 
required for the project; (3) the yearly and total Federal 
appropriations that can be planned or anticipated for existing 
FFGAs for each fiscal year through 2025; (4) a detailed 
analysis of annual commitments for current and anticipated 
FFGAs against the program authorization, by individual project; 
(5) a financial analysis of the project's cost and sponsor's 
ability to finance the project, which shall be conducted by an 
independent examiner and which shall include an assessment of 
the capital cost estimate and finance plan; (6) the source and 
security of all public and private sector financing; (7) the 
project's operating plan, which enumerates the project's future 
revenue and ridership forecasts; and (8) a listing of all 
planned contingencies and possible risks associated with the 
project.
    The Committee also directs the FTA to inform the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations in writing 30 days before 
approving schedule, scope, or budget changes to any FFGA. 
Correspondence relating to all changes shall include any budget 
revisions or program changes that materially alter the project 
as originally stipulated in the FFGA, including any proposed 
change in rail car procurement.
    The Committee directs the FTA to continue to provide a 
monthly capital investment grant program update to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations, detailing the status 
of each project. This update should include anticipated 
milestone schedules for advancing projects, especially those 
within 2 years of a proposed FFGA. It should also highlight and 
explain any potential cost and schedule changes affecting 
projects.
    Annual Report on Funding Recommendations.--The Committee 
directs the Secretary to submit the fiscal year 2025 annual 
report on funding recommendations required by 49 U.S.C. 
5309(o), and directs the Secretary to maintain the Federal 
Government funding commitments for all existing grant 
agreements and identify all projects with a medium or higher 
rating that anticipate requesting a grant agreement in fiscal 
year 2025.
    New Transportation Projects in Low-Growth Areas.--The 
Committee encourages the FTA to prioritize projects that 
connect communities unserved or underserved by transit to 
employment centers and projects that support economic growth in 
disadvantaged areas.
    New Starts.--The Committee urges the FTA to proceed 
expeditiously while reviewing revised new start project 
applications for projects previously recommended for funding in 
more than one FTA Annual Report on Funding Recommendations.

        Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation 
[GLS] is a wholly-owned government corporation established by 
the Saint Lawrence Seaway Act of 1954 (33 U.S.C. 981). The St. 
Lawrence Seaway [Seaway] is a vital transportation corridor for 
the international movement of bulk commodities, such as steel, 
iron, grain, and coal, serving the North American region that 
contains one-quarter of the United States' population and 
nearly one-half of the Canadian population. The GLS is 
responsible for the operation, maintenance, and development of 
the United States' portion of the Seaway between Montreal and 
Lake Erie.

                       OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE

                    (HARBOR MAINTENANCE TRUST FUND)

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $38,500,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      40,288,000
Committee recommendation................................      40,288,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund [HMTF] was established by 
the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-
662). Since 1987, the HMTF has supported the operations and 
maintenance of commercial harbor projects maintained by the 
Federal Government. Appropriations from the HMTF and revenues 
from non-Federal sources finance the operation and maintenance 
of those portions of the Seaway for which the GLS is 
responsible.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $40,288,000 for the operations, 
maintenance, and capital infrastructure activities of the GLS, 
of which not less than $16,300,000 is provided for the seaway 
infrastructure program. This amount is equal to the budget 
request and $1,788,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted 
level.
    Seaway Infrastructure Program.--The GLS has obligated 
$209,000,000 for a total of 62 maintenance and capital 
infrastructure projects between fiscal years 2009 and 2022 in 
the seaway infrastructure program. These investments sustain 
the safe, reliable, and efficient operations of the Seaway and 
support future growth. The seaway infrastructure program 
ensures that aging machinery, equipment, and parts are 
rehabilitated or replaced; buildings for employees and the 
public, grounds, and utilities are sufficiently maintained; and 
commercial trade can continue to move on the Seaway safely. The 
Committee directs the GLS to continue to submit an annual 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, 
not later than 90 days after enactment of this act, summarizing 
the activities of the seaway infrastructure program during the 
immediate preceding fiscal year.

                        Maritime Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Maritime Administration [MARAD] is responsible for 
programs authorized by the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as 
amended (46 App. U.S.C. 1101 et seq.). MARAD is also 
responsible for programs that strengthen the United States 
maritime industry in support of the Nation's security and 
economic needs. MARAD prioritizes the DoD use of ports and 
intermodal facilities during DoD mobilizations to guarantee the 
smooth flow of military cargo through commercial ports. MARAD 
manages the maritime security program, the voluntary intermodal 
sealift agreement program, and the ready reserve force, which 
assure DoD access to commercial and strategic sealift and 
associated intermodal capacity. MARAD also ensures the safe 
disposal of obsolete ships in the national defense reserve 
fleet. Further, MARAD administers education and training 
programs through the United States Merchant Marine Academy 
[USMMA] and six State maritime schools that assist in producing 
skilled merchant marine officers who are capable of serving 
defense and commercial transportation needs.

                       MARITIME SECURITY PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2023\1\.................................    $318,000,000

\1\Includes $318,000,000 in new budget authority and a rescission of 
$55,000,000 from prior year appropriations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The maritime security program [MSP] provides resources to 
maintain a U.S. flag merchant fleet crewed by U.S. citizens to 
serve both the commercial and national security needs of the 
United States. The program provides direct payments to U.S. 
flagship operators engaged in U.S. foreign trade. Participating 
operators are required to keep the vessels in active commercial 
service and provide intermodal sealift support to DoD in times 
of war or national emergency.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $318,000,000 
for the MSP. This amount is equal to the budget request and the 
fiscal year 2023 enacted level.

                          CABLE SECURITY FLEET

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $10,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................................
Committee recommendation................................      10,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Section 3521 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) authorized the cable 
security fleet program to establish and maintain a fleet of 
United States-documented cable vessels to meet the National 
security requirements of the United States. The cable security 
fleet program provides payments to U.S. flagship commercial 
vessel operators that provide cable services upon the request 
of the United States.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,000,000 
for the cable security fleet program. This amount is 
$10,000,000 more than the budget request and equal to the 
fiscal year 2023 enacted level.

                         TANKER SECURITY FLEET

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $60,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      60,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     120,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Section 3511 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-
283) authorized the tanker security fleet to establish and 
maintain a fleet of active, commercially viable, militarily 
useful, privately owned product tank vessels to meet the 
National defense and other security requirements of the United 
States. The tanker security fleet program provides direct 
payments to U.S. flagship operators, and participating 
operators are in turn required to operate in U.S. foreign 
commerce, mixed U.S. foreign commerce, and domestic trade and 
to make vessels available upon the request of the DoD.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $120,000,000 
for the tanker security fleet program. This amount is 
$60,000,000 more than the budget request and the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level, and equal to the increased authorization 
level in Public Law 117-263.

                        OPERATIONS AND TRAINING

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $213,181,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     289,773,000
Committee recommendation................................     283,546,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The operations and training appropriation primarily funds 
the salaries and expenses for MARAD headquarters and regional 
staff for all MARAD programs. The account also includes funding 
for the USMMA, port and intermodal development, cargo 
preference, international trade relations, deep-water port 
licensing, maritime environmental and technical assistance, the 
United States marine highway program, and administrative 
support costs.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $283,546,000 for operations and 
training. This amount is $6,227,000 less than the budget 
request and $70,365,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted 
level. The amounts provided for MARAD headquarters operations 
are sufficient to accommodate the adjustments to base and the 
request for additional headquarters operations staff as 
proposed in the budget is not approved at this time. The 
following table provides funding levels for activities within 
this account:

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

    Reprogramming.--The Committee notes that the non-budgetary 
organizational realignment reprogramming request for a new 
Office of Policy and Strategic Engagement and the Office for 
Maritime Industry Support was approved in the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of 2021 (Public Law 116-260), but has not 
been implemented and remains under review by Department 
leadership. Within 30 days of enactment of this act, MARAD 
shall provide an update in writing to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the status of the review and 
realignment. Should the review result in MARAD not completing 
the realignment as previously approved or other organizational 
changes within the MARAD headquarters operations program 
activity, MARAD is required to request a reversal of the 
previously approved action from the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations under the requirements of section 405 of this 
act.
    Accountability.--The Committee is concerned by MARAD and 
DOT's inconsistent management of and compliance with reporting 
requirements in both appropriations and authorization acts, as 
well as the agency's failure to respond promptly to 
congressional inquiries. Reporting requirements mandated by 
Congress are motivated by the desire to help improve operations 
and programs within MARAD and provide transparency in planning 
and execution of critical activities. Continued areas of 
Committee oversight include:
    (1) Staffing levels and vacancy rates to ensure the ability 
of headquarters to execute its mission and the USMMA's ability 
to manage facility maintenance and capital infrastructure 
projects;
    (2) Short and long-term maintenance and repair backlog and 
capital infrastructure needs of the USMMA in order to provide 
students with safe and suitable academic and dormitory 
facilities;
    (3) Rates of sexual assault and sexual harassment [SASH] at 
the USMMA both on campus and at sea to understand the nature of 
incidents that occur, those that are reported, and the ability 
of senior leadership to create a culture of safety for 
students;
    (4) Level of carrier enrollment and compliance with Every 
Mariner Builds a Respectful Culture [EMBARC] policies; and
    (5) Actions the Department and agency are undertaking to 
address the recommendations of the National Academy of Public 
Administration [NAPA], whose findings and recommendations in 
the November 2021 report titled ``Organizational Assessment of 
the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy: A Path Forward'' are intended 
to ``address longstanding issues that put the safety and health 
of the midshipmen and the entire USMMA community in peril''.
    Each of these categories are discussed in more detail below 
in order to remind the agency of its requirements and the 
purpose behind the requests for information. It is unfortunate 
that Congress must again delineate these concerns in such 
detail, but for the sake of abundant clarity, the Committee 
believes it is necessary to reiterate MARAD's requirements, the 
deadline for which such information should have been submitted, 
and the sustained desire for this information to be provided in 
order to work with MARAD to overcome decades of ``fundamental 
weaknesses in internal and external governance systems and 
processes that endanger the USMMA's ability to fulfill its 
mission today and into the future,'' as identified by NAPA. The 
Committee is fully supportive of MARAD and the USMMA's mission. 
Fulfilling that mission requires a clear understanding of the 
needs of the agency and the Academy, having assurances of 
effective oversight and management of the limited resources, 
and a vision and comprehensive plan for timely execution.
    Staffing.--The Committee continues to direct MARAD to 
provide the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with 
quarterly staffing updates, including on hiring and 
separations, by program office for all positions funded by this 
act in the MARAD headquarters operations and USMMA operations 
PPA. The Committee received a hiring and separations table in 
May 2023, the first one submitted in over 1 year, and it lacked 
critical detail. Subsequent and clarifying questions from the 
Committee remain unanswered.
    MARAD's Oversight of the USMMA.--The Committee supports the 
increase in funding for USMMA academy operations and the 
capital asset management program as requested in the budget. 
The Committee notes this is the first budget request since 
fiscal year 2019 that includes funding for the capital 
improvement program [CIP] and encourages DOT and MARAD to 
continue to advocate for the desperately needed investments in 
the USMMA infrastructure. The increase in funding for the USMMA 
will support mandatory labor cost increases, staffing of the 
Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, essential 
capital improvements, and maintenance and repair activities. 
The Committee acknowledges the Department and MARAD are making 
efforts to strengthen oversight of the USMMA, and directs DOT 
and MARAD to continue to prioritize implementing SASH 
prevention and response policies and procedures, addressing 
long-standing maintenance and repair needs of campus 
infrastructure, and effectively managing campus capital 
improvement project planning and execution.
    USMMA Facility Maintenance.--The Committee's recommendation 
includes $22,000,000 for USMMA facilities maintenance and 
repair, and equipment, which is equal to the budget request. 
The Committee notes that the USMMA and MARAD recently executed 
a comprehensive facilities and systems maintenance contract for 
the USMMA and appreciates MARAD's completion of the fiscal year 
2023 joint explanatory statement directive to provide a 
briefing to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
on such contract. The Committee expects the contract to result 
in efficient and timely routine maintenance of the USMMA 
campus. In addition, the Committee reminds MARAD of the 
incomplete directive required by the fiscal year 2023 joint 
explanatory statement to maintain a list of the status of all 
essential and recurring maintenance and repair needs and 
activities, annual estimates of the resources needed to replace 
and rehabilitate major operating systems that are not 
anticipated to be recapitalized under projects within the CIP, 
the date by which such activities should be completed, and the 
date by which they were completed. The Committee continues this 
directive for fiscal year 2024. The first list and accompanying 
briefing was due by March 31, 2023 and has not been received. 
Moving forward, these briefings may be held in conjunction with 
the required quarterly CIP briefings.
    USMMA Capital Improvements.--The Committee's recommendation 
includes $70,000,000 for the USMMA's CIP, which combined with 
the $39,563,546 in available unobligated prior year funding 
will provide a total of $109,563,546 for CIP projects in fiscal 
year 2024. The Committee appreciates MARAD's submission of the 
required fiscal year 2022 capital improvement plan in January 
2023 and recognizes the new sense of urgency among senior 
leadership to make progress on CIP projects. An up-to-date 
annual CIP report is critical to providing safe learning and 
living environments for students, and for utilizing the 
resources provided for the USMMA CIP under this heading in this 
and prior fiscal years. However, the Committee continues to be 
deeply concerned by the state of the USMMA's facilities, which 
has a direct impact on the quality of the education provided to 
students and the ability to attract new entrants to serve as 
future leaders in the United States Merchant Marine. At the 
time of the submission of the 2022 CIP report, the USMMA had 
sufficient unobligated balances to address all near-term active 
projects identified in the plan, which includes samuels hall 
renovation, lower roosevelt field, gate access controls 
upgrades, fulton/gibbs complex renovation, crowninshield pier 
demolition, and mallory pier breakwater upgrades. The 
additional capital funding provided by the Committee in fiscal 
year 2024 will support work on long-term projects identified in 
the 2022 CIP report, such as repair and replacement of the 
storm water management system and seawall. With both funding 
and a current CIP plan already in-hand, it is unacceptable for 
DOT, MARAD, and the USMMA to not complete identified and 
planned near-term CIP projects. For example, renovation work on 
Samuels Hall, the first of four academic buildings to be 
renovated, began in September 2020 and remains incomplete. The 
Committee reiterates the expectation that MARAD complete 
capital improvement projects on an annual basis. With the 
upcoming Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology 
review of the USMMA's Marine Engineering Systems and Marine 
Engineering and Shipyard Management degree programs in the fall 
of 2023 and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education 
review of the institutional accreditation in the spring of 
2025, DOT, MARAD, and the USMMA shall ensure the facilities 
provide suitable and safe learning environments to maintain 
accreditation of the school and its programs. Further, the 
Committee expects MARAD to make a decision immediately on how 
to address the cressy pier and prosser boathouse and directs 
MARAD to notify the Committee once such a decision is made.
    The Committee continues to direct MARAD to expand and 
improve the capacity of USMMA staff in order to facilitate the 
proper management and oversight of CIP projects. The Committee 
also continues to direct the Department to use design-build 
contracts in order to expedite the renovation of academic 
facilities and related infrastructure in fiscal year 2024.
    Further, the USMMA, MARAD, and the Department shall 
continue to provide quarterly briefings to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the status of all short- and 
long-term capital improvement projects and continue to provide 
the annual report in the same manner and context as in previous 
fiscal years. Future CIP briefings and reports shall also 
identify the long-term goals and sequencing of dormitory 
building renovations or replacements, including project budget 
estimates, so that the Committee can properly evaluate 
appropriation needs and renovations can be conducted on an 
annual basis. The last dorm renovation was completed in 2014 
and new capital needs have arisen since then. The Committee 
expects MARAD to prepare for the next round of dormitory 
renovations to provide safe and modern living conditions for 
students. The Committee appreciates MARAD making the annual CIP 
report publicly available on its website and strongly 
encourages the USMMA to maintain on its website current 
information on CIP project updates and any major repair 
activities to expand the availability of this information to 
students and external stakeholders, such as the alumni 
foundation which also provides support to USMMA projects. The 
USMMA's facilities campus construction updates web page has not 
been updated since February 2020.
    SASH at the USMMA.--Creating a culture of respect and 
dignity for cadets and faculty is essential to reducing student 
vulnerability to SASH, and every student deserves to seek and 
pursue an education and a future workplace free from unwanted 
sexual aggression. The Committee commends students who have 
bravely come forward to publicly report allegations of SASH in 
an effort to hold perpetrators accountable and prevent future 
violations.
    In March 2023, MARAD submitted a combined annual report to 
Congress on SASH at the USMMA for academic years 2019 through 
the first half of the 2022-2023 academic year. The reporting of 
timely SASH data is critical, and the Committee directs MARAD 
to ensure future reports meet statutory deadlines. According to 
the March 2023 report, between 2019 and December 2022, there 
were 26 reported cases of sexual assault and 35 reported cases 
of sexual harassment, gender-based harassment, relationship 
violence, and stalking. The Committee acknowledges MARAD and 
the USMMA have made meaningful steps in improving safety for 
USMMA midshipmen and supporting a culture of accountability 
through the EMBARC program; enhancing sea year policies and 
procedures; establishing concurrent jurisdiction with the State 
of New York; establishing and staffing the MARAD Office of 
Cadet Training At-Sea Safety; and strengthening and staffing 
the USMMA Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response. The 
Committee expects MARAD to continue to work to prevent cases of 
SASH both on the USMMA campus and at sea, strengthen internal 
policies, and submit required SASH reports on time. The 
Committee also reminds MARAD of the incomplete directive in the 
fiscal year 2023 joint explanatory statement for the USMMA and 
MARAD to update the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 60 days of enactment on its progress to 
fully staff the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office 
at the USMMA and the EMBARC Office at MARAD. This update was 
due on February 27, 2023 and has not been received.
    The EMBARC program, which improves upon the previous 
shipboard climate compliance team [SCCT] for sea-year training, 
continues to have too few commercial carriers enrolled. As of 
June 2023, only 16 carriers were enrolled in EMBARC compared to 
the 41 carriers that were enrolled under the previous SCCT. 
MARAD is directed to continue to engage with U.S. commercial 
vessel operators on EMBARC SASH prevention standards in order 
to enroll additional vessel operators in the sea year program 
and address impediments to participation. Further, the 
Committee reminds MARAD of the incomplete directive required by 
the fiscal year 2023 joint explanatory statement to report to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations quarterly in 
writing on the ways in which it is conducting such outreach and 
engagement in order to improve EMBARC program carrier 
enrollment. The first quarterly update was due by March 31, 
2023 and has not been received. The Committee reiterates this 
requirement, which can also be satisfied in the quarterly USMMA 
CIP/maintenance and repair activities briefings to Congress. 
More carriers must be enrolled in the EMBARC program to ensure 
that students are able to receive sufficient training time to 
meet their licensing requirements upon graduation.
    The Committee also continues to direct the Department to 
conduct routine assessments of the satellite phone 
functionality to ensure cadets serving in sea year have the 
means for direct 24/7 communication with the Academy.
    NAPA Tracking.--In November 2021, in accordance with 
section 3513 of Public Law 116-92, NAPA issued a report that 
included 67 actionable recommendations to meet the challenges 
facing the USMMA. To maintain congressional oversight of 
progress made in addressing these recommendations, section 
3515(a) of Public Law 117-263 requires the Secretary of 
Transportation to submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees reports on the status of the implementation of these 
recommendations, with the initial report due not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of such Act, which was 
June 21, 2023. To date, the appropriate congressional 
committees have not received the initial report with the 
required elements. Within 15 days of enactment of this act, 
MARAD shall submit the overdue report and within 30 days the 
Superintendent of the USMMA, along with Administrator of MARAD 
and senior leadership at DOT, shall provide a briefing to the 
appropriate congressional committees on such report. Failure to 
provide this information to the Committees has a direct impact 
on the ability of Congress to effectively provide oversight of 
the USMMA. As the NAPA report importantly recognizes, ``the 
current leaders of USMMA, MARAD, and DOT did not put USMMA in 
this position'' and instead the challenges are the 
repercussions of decades of ineffective and inefficient 
systems, but now it is ``incumbent upon the current leaders of 
these organizations to restore USMMA.''
    Vessel Generated Underwater Noise.--MARAD shall use not 
less than $1,500,000 of the funds provided under META to 
collect data and further investigate vessel generated 
underwater noise, consistent with the President's budget 
request. When selecting projects, the Committee directs MARAD 
to strongly consider projects led by regional coalitions that 
conduct research, mitigation, and management activities to 
reduce vessel-generated underwater noise on the maritime 
environment, including large commercial vessels impacting 
Endangered Species Act-listed whales.

                   STATE MARITIME ACADEMY OPERATIONS

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $120,700,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      53,400,000
Committee recommendation................................     131,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Committee provides funding for the six state maritime 
academies [SMAs] to support the training and education of the 
Nation's marine transportation workforce. Funding provided 
supports financial assistance for the SMAs as well as upkeep, 
maintenance, and operation of the schools' training ships.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $131,000,000 
for state maritime academy operations. The bill provides the 
following funding levels for specific activities within this 
account:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             2024

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

    National Security Multi-Mission Vessel [NSMV].--The 
Committee commends MARAD, DOT, and the vessel construction 
manager for the successful delivery of the first NSMV. For 
fiscal year 2024, the Committee includes resources for steel 
cost increases, SMA shore-side infrastructure improvements to 
support the berthing and operation of the NSMVs, and the budget 
request for operations & integration, as well as shore spares 
to support the vessel class. Consistent with fiscal year 2022 
and 2023, shore-side infrastructure shall only include NSMV-
specific improvements required by MARAD to safely moor the 
vessels and other improvements that are necessary for SMAs to 
receive the NSMVs. Specifically, shore-side infrastructure 
shall include pier construction and upgrades directly related 
to the mooring of the vessel, but not for general maintenance 
that would otherwise be necessary absent receiving an NSMV, and 
is inclusive of associated utility upgrades directly related to 
mooring and operating the vessel, including, but not limited 
to, electricity and steam. The Committee directs MARAD to 
implement a non-Federal cost share of 20 percent for shore-side 
infrastructure improvements. In the event that there are 
extenuating circumstances that an SMA is unable to meet the 20 
percent non-Federal cost-share requirement, MARAD may determine 
whether a different non-Federal cost-share requirement is 
appropriate, necessary, and executable. In addition, the 
Committee directs MARAD to sequence the funding distributed to 
SMAs for shore-side infrastructure improvements based on the 
vessel delivery schedule. Further, MARAD shall notify the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to obligating any 
funds for shore-side infrastructure improvements, and such 
notification shall include the amount of funding provided by 
non-Federal sources for such infrastructure.
    The Committee also continues to direct MARAD to conduct 
vigorous oversight of the vessel construction manager, as well 
as the shipyard, to ensure the NSMVs are delivered on budget 
and on time. MARAD is directed to continue to provide briefings 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the 
status of the NSMV program on a quarterly basis, including 
detailed reporting on the SMAs' shore-side infrastructure 
improvements needed to ensure successful berthing and operation 
of the NSMVs, and to provide immediate notification of any 
risks to the construction schedule or cost. The Committee 
appreciates MARAD's initiative and promptness in providing the 
required quarterly NSMV briefings.

                     ASSISTANCE TO SMALL SHIPYARDS

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $20,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      20,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      20,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    As authorized under section 54101 of title 46, the 
assistance to small shipyards program provides assistance in 
the form of grants, loans, and loan guarantees to small 
shipyards for capital improvements and training programs.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for 
assistance to small shipyards. This level of funding is equal 
to the fiscal year 2023 enacted level and the budget request. 
Funding for this program is intended to help small shipyards 
improve the efficiency of their operations by providing funding 
for equipment and other facility upgrades. The funding 
recommended by the Committee will help improve the 
competitiveness of our Nation's small shipyards, as well as 
workforce training and apprenticeships in communities dependent 
upon maritime transportation.

                             SHIP DISPOSAL

Appropriations, 2023\1\.................................      $6,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................       6,021,000
Committee recommendation................................       6,021,000

\1\Includes $6,000,000 in new budget authority and a rescission of 
$12,000,000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The ship disposal account provides resources to dispose of 
obsolete merchant-type vessels of 150,000 gross tons or more in 
the national defense reserve fleet. MARAD contracts with 
domestic shipbreaking companies to dismantle these vessels in 
accordance with guidelines established by the EPA.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,021,000 for 
MARAD's ship disposal program. This amount is equal to the 
budget request and $21,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level.
    National Maritime Heritage Grants Program.--With the 
increasing cost of scrap steel, the Committee expects MARAD to 
ensure it is able to secure the highest price possible from 
vessels recycled through the ship disposal program. The funds 
received from these sales are deposited into the vessel 
operations revolving fund [VORF], and MARAD distributes funding 
from the VORF according to the authorized purposes and 
allocations under 54 U.S.C. 308704, including to the national 
maritime heritage grants program. The Committee supports the 
use of funding from the VORF for these grants since maritime 
heritage attractions are vital to local economies and provide 
educational and engagement opportunities.

              MARITIME GUARANTEED LOAN PROGRAM (TITLE XI)

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2023....................................      $3,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................       3,020,000
Committee recommendation................................     103,020,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The maritime guaranteed loan program was established 
pursuant to title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936 (Public 
Law 74-835), as amended. The program provides for a full faith 
and credit guarantee by the U.S. Government of debt obligations 
issued by: (1) U.S. or foreign shipowners for the purposes of 
financing or refinancing either U.S. flag vessels or eligible 
export vessels constructed, reconstructed, or reconditioned in 
U.S. shipyards; and (2) U.S. shipyards, for the purpose of 
financing advanced shipbuilding technology of privately owned 
general shipyard facilities located in the United States. Under 
the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), 
appropriations to cover the estimated costs of a project must 
be obtained prior to the issuance of any approvals for title XI 
financing.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee provides an appropriation of $3,020,000 for 
administrative expenses of the maritime guaranteed loan title 
XI program and $100,000,000 for subsidy. This level of funding 
is $100,000,000 more than the budget request and $100,020,000 
more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level.
    Title XI Demand.--The Committee notes the growing demand 
among shipyards and ship operators for title XI financing and 
provides $100,000,000 in subsidy funding for MARAD to make 
additional loan guarantees.

                PORT INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $212,203,512
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     230,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     213,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The port infrastructure development program [PIDP] is 
authorized in 46 U.S.C. 50302 to provide grants for the 
improvement of port facilities.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $213,000,000 for the 
PIDP, which is $796,488 more than the enacted level and 
$17,000,000 less than the budget request.
    Set Asides.--The Committee directs MARAD to set aside 25 
percent of the funds for small inland river and coastal ports 
and terminals, as required by 46 U.S.C. 54301. The 
recommendation directs MARAD to allow Federal cost shares above 
80 percent for projects in rural areas, as permitted by 46 
U.S.C. 54301.

           ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION--MARITIME ADMINISTRATION

    Section 170 authorizes MARAD to furnish utilities and 
services and to make necessary repairs in connection with any 
lease, contract, or occupancy involving Government property 
under control of MARAD and allows payments received to be 
credited to the Treasury and to remain available until 
expended.

         Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration


                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration 
[PHMSA] was established within the Department of Transportation 
on November 30, 2004, pursuant to the Norman Y. Mineta Research 
and Special Programs Improvement Act (Public Law 108-426). 
PHMSA is responsible for the Department's pipeline safety 
program as well as oversight of hazardous materials 
transportation safety operations. The agency is dedicated to 
safety, including the elimination of transportation-related 
deaths and injuries associated with hazardous materials and 
pipeline transportation, and to promoting transportation 
solutions, which enhance communities and protect the 
environment.

Budget estimate, 2024...................................      31,681,000
Committee recommendation................................      31,681,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides funding for program support costs for 
PHMSA, including policy development, civil rights, management, 
administration, and other agency-wide expenses.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $31,681,000 for this account, of 
which $2,000,000 shall be for pipeline safety information 
grants to communities and $2,500,000 shall be for emergency 
response grants. The Committee's recommendation is equal to the 
budget request and $1,745,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level.
    Natural Gas Distribution Grant Program.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of PHMSA's natural gas distribution 
grant program, which will help communities replace their aging, 
deteriorating gas pipelines. The Committee is aware of certain 
rural disadvantaged communities that have had service 
disruptions lasting for several months, which is catastrophic 
for such communities. To the extent possible, PHMSA should 
ensure funds provided by this program are used to help such 
communities that apply for a grant under this program to avoid 
service disruptions in the future.

                       HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SAFETY

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $70,743,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      80,554,000
Committee recommendation................................      74,556,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $74,556,000 
for hazardous materials safety, which is $5,998,000 less than 
the budget request and $3,813,000 more than the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level. The Committee recommendation includes 
$1,000,000 for the assistance for local emergency response 
training [ALERT] grants. The Committee directs PHMSA to 
prioritize ALERT grants for training in rural areas.
    Placards.--In the East Palestine train derailment, placards 
identifying hazardous materials carried in train cars melted in 
the heat, preventing first responders from identifying what 
chemicals they were encountering. Current PHMSA placard 
regulations only protect from exposure to open weather 
conditions, but do not require placards to be sturdy enough to 
survive the heat of a crash and ensuing blaze. PHMSA should 
conduct research, in collaboration with the railroad industry, 
on the temperature threshold and visibility issues to determine 
whether a heat survivability performance standard would enhance 
safety. PHMSA should also develop technology solutions, in 
collaboration with industry, to improve hazard communication 
and enhance responder awareness in instances where traditional 
means of communication such as placards, labels, and markings 
are not readily visible due to accident conditions.
    Real-Time Train Consist Information.--PHMSA recently issued 
a notice of proposed rulemaking to improve real-time train 
consist information notifications to help inform first 
responders and emergency response officials in advance of their 
arrival to an accident or incident. The Committee directs PHMSA 
to work with first responders and the railroad industry to 
ensure that any system implemented as a result of this 
rulemaking can effectively reach those responding to incidents 
with the necessary information.

                            PIPELINE SAFETY

                         (PIPELINE SAFETY FUND)

                    (OIL SPILL LIABILITY TRUST FUND)

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $190,385,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     228,228,000
Committee recommendation................................     226,228,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $226,228,000 for the 
OPS. The amount is $35,843,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level and $2,000,000 less than the budget request. Of 
this amount, $93,704,000 is for operations, $29,966,000 is for 
programs, $13,000,000 is for research and development, and 
$89,558,000 is for grants.
    Enhanced Positive Response [EPR].--The Committee encourages 
PHMSA to advance broader adoption of EPR, which will allow 
commonly collected, enhanced information to excavators in order 
to improve the accuracy of information of underground pipelines 
to excavators to prevent pipeline damage.
    Liquefied Natural Gas [LNG] COE.--The Committee directs 
PHMSA to continue its work to establishing the LNG COE, as 
authorized under section 111 of the Protecting Our 
Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2020 
[PIPES Act].
    CO2 Pipelines.--The Committee applauds the 
PHMSA's efforts to improve the safety of CO2 
pipelines by proposing to update standards for such pipelines, 
including requirements related to emergency preparedness and 
response. The PHMSA also has ongoing research activities 
related to potential impact radius zones along CO2 
pipelines. The Committee encourages the PHMSA to also examine 
requiring an odorant to transport CO2 and how 
CO2 affect the integrity of existing pipelines.
    National Pipeline Mapping System [NPMS].--The Committee 
directs PHMSA to update the NPMS data biennially, as required 
by statute, and incorporate high consequence areas [HCAs] into 
the NPMS data to help the public, first responders, and local 
governments better plan and prepare for potential emergencies. 
The PHMSA should also consider incorporating gathering 
pipelines into the NPMS.
    Pipeline Safety Rulemaking.--PHMSA issued a notice of 
proposed rulemaking on the class location rule on October 14, 
2020, and the comment period closed December 14, 2020. The 
Committee recognizes that it is important for PHMSA to obtain 
input from the gas pipeline advisory committee [GPAC], as 
required by section 115 of the PIPES Act, prior to issuing a 
final rule. However, the PHMSA is conducting a third-party 
assessment of its special permit process and the safety 
conditions required of operators for class location special 
permits, and the results of this assessments should be made 
available to members of the GPAC prior to holding the meeting 
on the class location rule. The Committee directs the PHMSA to 
brief the House and Senate Appropriations Committees on any 
delays to this assessment if the assessment is not completed 
within 60 days of enactment of this act.
    Pipeline Leak Prevention Technology.--Pipeline leaks, 
particularly in HCAs and unusually sensitive areas [USAs], such 
as population centers, waterways, and watersheds, can cause 
irreparable environmental and public health damage and are 
incredibly costly to repair and remediate. The Committee's 
recommendation includes up to $1,000,000 from research and 
development for a pilot program to test and validate existing 
pipeline leak prevention and mitigation technologies, including 
technologies that can be installed around existing, gas, 
CO2, and hazardous liquid pipes or installed with

Committee recommendation................................      46,825,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

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

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $108,073,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     121,001,000
Committee recommendation................................     116,452,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Inspector General Act of 1978 (Public Law 95-452) 
established the Office of Inspector General as an independent, 
objective organization with a mission to: conduct and supervise 
audits and investigations relating to the programs and 
operations of the Department; provide leadership and recommend 
policies designed to promote economy, efficiency, and 
effectiveness in the administration of programs and operations; 
prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse; and keep the 
Secretary and the Congress informed regarding problems and 
deficiencies.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides $116,452,000 for the 
activities of the Office of Inspector General, which is 
$4,549,000 less than the budget request and $8,379,000 more 
than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. This funding level is 
sufficient to annualize the 15 additional FTE authorized in 
fiscal year 2023 for a total of 397 FTE, as well as other 
adjustments to base funding to sustain current services. 
Another 13 positions are supported through emergency designated 
funding for oversight of the CARES Act, division J of IIJA, and 
disaster relief.
    Audit Reports.--The Office of Inspector General is directed 
to continue to provide copies of all audit reports to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations as soon as they are 
issued, and to continue to make the Committees aware 
immediately of any review that recommends cancellation of, or 
modifications to, any major acquisition project or grant, or 
significant budgetary savings. The Office of Inspector General 
is also directed to withhold from public distribution for a 
period of 15 days any final audit or investigative report which 
was requested by the House or Senate Committees on 
Appropriations.

                                TITLE II

              DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

                     Management and Administration

    The Department of Housing and Urban Development [HUD] was 
established by the Housing and Urban Development Act (Public 
Law 89-174), effective November 9, 1965. This Department is the 
principal Federal agency responsible for programs concerned 
with the Nation's housing needs, fair housing opportunities, 
and improving and developing communities.
    Broadband Deployment Locations Map.--The Committee 
appreciates HUD's recognition of the importance of broadband 
access to communities and individuals, but notes that the 
Department has yet to submit the report to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on broadband deployment location 
maps as required by the joint explanatory statement 
accompanying Public Law 117-328. The Committee directs the 
Department to submit this report no later than August 31, 2023 
and to identify any responsibilities not yet fulfilled, 
particularly as it relates to data relating to broadband 
infrastructure deployment funding and coordination with other 
Federal entities.
    Energy Codes.--The Committee urges the Department to 
continue working with the USDA to expeditiously issue a final 
determination regarding the adoption of updated minimum energy 
efficiency standards, as required under 42 U.S.C. 12709. The 
Committee notes the DOE findings that more recent model codes 
reduce energy use by more than 25 percent and are cost 
effective. If a final determination is not issued within 120 
days of enactment of this act, the Department is directed to 
report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
detailing the reasons for the continued delays and estimating 
the lifecycle amount of taxpayer dollars wasted by continuing 
to use the existing standard.
    Customer Experience.--The Committee recognizes that moving 
toward a more customer-oriented culture within Federal agencies 
is a continuous effort and encourages the Department to 
continue to improve HUD's customer service standards and 
explore how to incorporate customer experience into offices' 
performance targets or goals by ensuring standards include 
performance measures.
    Connections to Other Federal, State, and Local Services.--
The Committee recognizes that HUD's mission includes ``creating 
strong, sustainable, inclusive communities'' and utilizing 
``housing as a platform for improving quality of life.'' In 
furtherance of that mission, and recognizing the fact that the 
Department has a special position in working closely through 
its grantees with much of the country's low-income population, 
the Committee directs HUD to provide technical assistance to 
increase the knowledge and capacity of HUD grantees to connect 
program participants to other government services and civic 
engagement opportunities, where appropriate.
    Buy America Requirements.--The Committee urges the 
Department to fully and swiftly comply with the Buy America 
requirements of the IIJA.
    Rural Areas.--The Committee urges the Department to enhance 
its efforts to provide decent, affordable housing and to 
promote economic development for Americans living in rural 
areas. When designing programs and making funding decisions, 
the Secretary shall take into consideration the unique 
conditions, challenges, and scale of rural areas.
    Appropriations Attorneys.--For fiscal year 2024, the 
Committee continues to fund appropriations attorneys in the 
Office of the Chief Financial Officer [OCFO] and directs HUD to 
refer all appropriations law issues to such attorneys within 
the OCFO. These appropriations law staff routinely provide 
prompt, accurate, and reliable information on various 
appropriations law matters, and the Committee urges the 
Department to ensure the office has adequate personnel and non-
personnel resources to fulfill their responsibilities, 
including training HUD staff in funds control procedures and 
directives, as required by section 215 of this act.
    Organizational Charts and Staffing Realignments.--The 
Department is directed to consult with the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment of 
this act on the requirements specified under the heading 
``Congressional Budget Justifications'' at the front of this 
report.
    The Committee approves the following proposed 
reorganizations described in the fiscal year 2024 the 
congressional budget justification: the Office of the Chief 
Information Officer; the Office of Departmental Equal 
Employment Opportunity; the Office of Chief Financial Officer; 
and the Office of Housing, except for the proposals described 
in the congressional budget justification on page 46-5 under 
Office of Multifamily Housing, only the Asset Management and 
Portfolio Oversight proposal is approved. Regarding the 
Assistant CFO for Financial Management reorganization within 
the OCFO, the Committee directs the Department to ensure office 
names are sufficiently distinct and allow those within and 
outside the Department to easily understand the office 
function. For the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, 
the Committee does not approve the proposed realignment of the 
Office of Gender-based Violence Prevention, the creation of the 
Office of Fair Lending, or the proposed creation of the Office 
of the National Fair Housing Training Academy, but other 
proposed reorganizations described on page 48-9 of the 
congressional budget justification are approved. The Committee 
does not approve: (1) the proposed reorganization of the Office 
of General Counsel [OGC], (2) the creation of a separate Office 
of Resident Services within the Office of Public and Indian 
Housing, (3) the proposed reorganization of the Office of 
Special Needs Assistance Programs [SNAPS] within the Office of 
Community Planning and Development, or (4) the consolidation of 
the Office of Administration, the Office of the Chief Human 
Capital Officer, and the Office of the Chief Procurement 
Officer into a single funding line. The Committee does not 
approve any other realignments or reorganizations not expressly 
approved here. The Department is invited to provide additional 
detail on the OGC and SNAPS reorganization to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations and to discuss other ways 
to improve coordination of economic opportunity, self-
sufficiency and supportive service policies across all HUD 
rental assistance programs.
    GAO Priority Recommendations.--The Committee notes that the 
GAO serves an important function in helping improve the 
efficiency and effectiveness of HUD's programs and operations. 
As of May 2023, HUD had 96 open GAO recommendations. Of these, 
11 are considered priority recommendations in areas including, 
but not limited to, disaster recovery, homelessness, 
information technology, lead paint hazards, and the Real Estate 
Assessment Center's physical inspection process. The Committee 
commends HUD's efforts to close 5 priority recommendations over 
the last year and for reaching a 78 percent implementation rate 
for GAO recommendations, which is slightly above the 
government-wide average of 77 percent and a substantial 
improvement from its June 2021 implementation rate of 56 
percent. The Committee directs HUD to report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment 
of this act on all priority recommendations, the steps taken in 
fiscal year 2023 to implement those recommendations, and what 
additional actions will be undertaken in fiscal year 2024 to 
address outstanding recommendations.
    Disaster Coordination for Homeless Populations.--A recent 
GAO Report [GAO-23-105379] found that the Federal Emergency 
Management Agency [FEMA] and HUD do not regularly coordinate on 
issues related to disaster sheltering and housing assistance 
provided to homeless populations, and noted the importance of 
having established relationships between emergency management 
and homelessness stakeholders to effectively collaborate to 
assist the homeless population. The Committee directs the 
Department to work in coordination with FEMA and United States 
Interagency Council on Homelessness [USICH] to advance the 
recommendations made by GAO.
    Regional Approaches to Affordable Housing.--The Committee 
encourages the Department to make explicit in competitions for 
Federal funding that regional councils, councils of government, 
metropolitan planning organizations, and multi-jurisdictional 
consortiums may apply whenever these entities are eligible 
applicants. Furthermore, the Committee encourages the 
Department to actively seek opportunities for these entities to 
serve as lead applicants and grantees in order to promote and 
expand local, State, and regional collaboration. HUD should 
work with entities that have experience in developing and 
carrying out well-coordinated, comprehensive approaches to 
solving multi-jurisdictional affordable housing challenges.
    Pending Reports.--In the report on the status of pending 
congressional reports submitted to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on May 16, 2023, the Department 
proposed to combine overlapping reports, replace certain 
reports with briefings, and close reporting requirements that 
have been overcome by events. The Committee agrees to all such 
changes, except those on lines 332, 337, 395, 396, 397, 472, 
504, 507, 516, 517, 531, 547, 559, 618, 632, 637, and 668. 
These reports are retained but the Department is invited to 
consult with the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
on replacing those reports with briefings or combining them 
with similar reports.
    Voting-Related Activities.--The Committee directs the 
Secretary to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 90 days after enactment of this 
act regarding any strategic plans developed by the Department 
over the three prior fiscal years outlining the ways that the 
Department has promoted voter registration, and voter 
participation.

                           EXECUTIVE OFFICES

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $18,500,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      20,300,000
Committee recommendation................................      19,400,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $19,400,000 
for this account, which is $900,000 more than the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level and $900,000 less than the budget request. 
Of the amounts provided, not less than $600,000 shall be 
allocated to the Office of Gender-Based Violence Prevention to 
support the Director and three staff positions. The Committee 
reminds the Department that sufficient resources were provided 
in this account in fiscal year 2023 to create the statutorily-
established Office of Gender-based Violence Prevention and hire 
additional staff to complete the realignments associated with 
the Disaster Management Division the Executive Secretariat 
Division. Failure to execute these directives in a timely 
fashion for such critical roles of VAWA implementation and 
disaster recovery is misguided at best. The submission of 
reorganization requests contrary to the bipartisan, bicameral 
congressional direction to establish these offices is ill 
advised in this instance and in future circumstances when 
Congress has within months deliberated and issued a decision on 
such matters. The Committee directs the Department to 
prioritize addressing the staffing gaps in these offices in 
fiscal year 2024. Due to funding constraints and staffing 
priorities, the Committee recommendation for travel during 
fiscal year 2024, including transfers and carryover, equals the 
amount included in the fiscal year 2023 operating plan for all 
offices except the Office of Gender-based Violence Prevention 
and Disaster Management Division. The Secretary is directed to 
inform the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 
15 days of enactment of this act regarding how the Department 
is implementing the Committee's hiring directive and to outline 
how budgetary resources, including travel funds, will be 
distributed among the offices funded under this heading as part 
of the Department's operating plan for fiscal year 2024.
    Violence Against Women Act [VAWA].--For several years, the 
Committee has directed HUD to address shortcomings in the 
Department's implementation and oversight of the housing 
protections established by the Violence Against Women 
Reauthorization Act of 2013 for HUD-assisted properties. 
Closing these gaps are critical to enabling the timely 
relocation of survivors of domestic violence and limiting 
continued trauma. The Committee recognizes that the Department 
has finally initiated efforts to begin collecting data on the 
use and timeliness of emergency transfers and intends to 
publish a proposed rule to implement the requirements of VAWA 
2022 in October 2023. The Committee directs the Office of 
Gender-Based Violence to work across the Department to 
expeditiously move forward with both actions and to brief the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of 
enactment of this act on agency progress, identified obstacles, 
and how HUD is coordinating with other Federal agencies to 
ensure consistency.

    Hiring and Separation Report.--The Committee directs the 
OCFO and the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer [OCHCO] 
to submit semiannual reports to the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations on hiring and separations by program office, 
including the Office of the Inspector General and the Ginnie 
Mae. This report shall include position titles and location for 
FTP, including the Office of the Inspector General and the 
Ginnie Mae, and include trend analysis on staffing levels in 
field offices versus headquarters.
    Expired Balances Report.--The Committee directs HUD's OCFO 
to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 90 days of the end of each fiscal year on 
all expired balances. The Committee reminds HUD to identify 
amounts by account and line item, including carryover and 
recaptures.
    Office of the Chief Financial Officer.--The Committee 
supports the ongoing work of the appropriations law staff, and 
includes funding for two additional FTE for this office.
    Office of General Counsel [OGC].--The Committee supports 
the Department's request for 119 FTE for the Departmental 
Enforcement Center [DEC] and has provided sufficient funding 
for this hiring level. The Committee urges OGC to prioritize 
staffing needs to support efforts to improve alignment between 
affordable housing development program requirements, support 
more timely execution of the Department's regulatory agenda, 
and reduce unnecessary burdens on grantees.
    The Committee reminds the Department to provide the report 
required by the fiscal year 2023 joint explanatory statement on 
its progress towards closing the six outstanding GAO 
recommendations from GAO report 19-38. The Committee again 
invites the Department to assess whether HUD's mission is 
better served by the DEC being within OGC or reporting directly 
to the Deputy Secretary.
    Office of Administration.--The Committee recommendation 
includes not less than $3,500,000 to address critical deferred 
maintenance to the sanitary, sewer, and storm drain systems of 
the weaver building, and directs the Department to brief the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations not less than 
annually on its multiyear capital plan to modernize and 
consolidate office space.
    Office of the Chief Procurement Officer [OCPO].--According 
to the HUD OIG, increasing efficiency in procurement continues 
to be one of the HUD's top management challenges. The OIG 2021 
evaluation report on IT acquisitions [2020-OE-0004] highlighted 
inadequate staffing capacity and the lack of effective 
coordination and communication practices. The Committee 
sustains its support for staffing and training for the OCPO, 
but is concerned by the continued frequency and length of 
delays on major IT acquisitions. The Committee directs OCPO to 
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 
60 days of enactment of this act on the actions the Department 
has taken and plans to take in fiscal year 2024 to address the 
OIG recommendations on IT acquisitions, how OCPO and OCIO are 
monitoring and strategically reducing HUD's reliance on 
temporary bridge contracts, and the root causes for the latest 
delays on efforts to modernize FHA and Office of Public and 
Indian Housing [PIH] IT systems.

    Office of Housing.--The Committee approves the Department's 
request to provide direct support to small properties and 
owners converting assistance under the rental assistance 
demonstration who lack the capacity needed to meet due 
diligence and underwriting requirements, including but not 
limited to properties assisted under the section 202 and 
section 8 moderate rehabilitation and mckinney-vento single 
room occupancy programs. The Committee directs the Department 
to use not more than $2,000,000 for this purpose through 
existing cooperative agreements with participating 
administrative entities until further data is available on 
demand among such properties.

                          WORKING CAPITAL FUND

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides the Secretary with 
the authority to transfer amounts provided in this title for 
salaries and expenses, except those for the Office of Inspector 
General, to this account for the purpose of funding centralized 
activities, such as shared service agreements executed between 
HUD and other Federal agencies. The Committee expects that, 
prior to exercising discretion to centrally fund an activity, 
the Secretary shall have established transparent and reliable 
unit cost accounting for the offices and agencies of the 
Department that use the activity, and shall have adequately 
trained staff within each affected office and agency on 
resource planning and accounting processes associated with the 
centralization of funds to this account. Prior to exercising 
its authority to transfer funds for activities beyond what is 
required for shared service agreements, HUD shall establish a 
clear execution plan for centralizing the additional 
activities, and to properly vet that plan with the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to transferring such 
funds into the WCF. Financial management, procurement, travel, 
and relocation costs for services provided to the Office of the 
Inspector General are covered by the OCFO.
    Approved Activities.--For fiscal year 2024, the Department 
is permitted to only centralize and fund from this account: 
Federal shared services for financial management, procurement, 
travel, relocation, and human resources; printing; records 
management, including scanning and digital archiving services; 
space renovation; furniture; and supply services. The Committee 
supports the Department's plan to use the fund and carryover 
balances to support its efforts to modernize and consolidate 
office space, and reminds the Department of the requirement to 
notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations at 
least 15 days in advance of such transfers. The Committee does 
not expand the authority, as proposed in the budget request, to 
include IT customer devices. The Committee continues to direct 
HUD to include in its annual operating plan a detailed outline 
of its plans for transferring budgetary resources to the WCF in 
fiscal year 2024.

Appropriations, 2023.................................... $30,253,112,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................  32,703,000,000
Committee recommendation................................  31,737,961,000

Note: Amounts for fiscal year 2023 include $2,653,580,000 in emergency-
designated funding appropriated in Division N of Public Law 117-328. The 
Committee recommendation for fiscal year 2024 includes $5,289,210,000 in 
emergency-designated funding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$31,737,961,000 for fiscal year 2024, including $4,000,000,000 
as an advance appropriation to be made available on October 1, 
2024. This amount is $1,484,849,000 more than the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level and $965,039,000 less than the budget 
request.
    Contract Renewals and Pilot Demonstration on Tenant Leasing 
Expenses.--The Committee recommends $27,765,512,000 for the 
renewal costs of section 8 vouchers. The Committee 
recommendation and existing reserves will provide sufficient 
resources to ensure that no current voucher holders are put at 
risk of losing their housing assistance. The Committee will 
continue to monitor leasing data to make sure housing 
assistance is preserved.
    The bill authorizes a demonstration to allow up to eight 
PHAs to use a limited amount of housing assistance payments 
funding for tenant leasing expenses, such as security and 
utility deposits. Low-income families are often unsuccessful in 
utilizing section 8 vouchers due to their inability to pay such 
deposits, which are commonly required by landlords, especially 
in difficult rental markets. This demonstration will assess the 
impact of this flexibility on improving voucher utilization, 
landlord participation and voucher costs, and evaluate how PHAs 
balance these costs and benefits within available resources. 
The Committee does not include any additional funding for this 
demonstration. In selecting PHAs for the demonstration, the 
Committee directs HUD to ensure geographic diversity and 
consider PHA performance and reserve levels to ensure this 
flexibility can be utilized without reducing the number of 
families served.
    Tenant Protection Vouchers [TPVs].--The Committee 
recommendation includes $445,000,000 for new tenant protection 
vouchers, $60,000,000 more than the budget request and 
$108,000,000 more than fiscal year 2023 enacted, to fully fund 
the estimated need for TPVs in fiscal year 2024 to help HUD-
assisted families relocate and avoid hardship.
    Administrative Fees.--The Committee recommends 
$2,781,449,000 for administrative fees, which is $3,837,000 
more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. The Committee 
notes that these funds are critical to the execution and 
success of the voucher program, supporting a diverse range of 
activities and critical functions such as: property 
inspections; case management, including tenant screening, 
income recertification, and emergency transfers; landlord 
outreach; the issuance of new vouchers upon program turnover; 
and assistance for tenants seeking housing.
    The Committee supports HUD's efforts over the last year to 
provide clarifying guidance on the eligible use of 
administrative fees to improve leasing through other expenses, 
such as security deposit assistance and landlord recruitment 
and incentive payments. The Committee directs the Department to 
brief the House and Senate Committee on Appropriations not less 
than annually on the utilization of administrative fees for 
such purposes.
    The Committee recognizes that HUD is currently consulting 
PHAs, advocates, and researchers to reexamine the 
administrative fee formula and ways to make it more relevant to 
what it costs to administer a high-performing and efficient 
voucher program today, as required by the fiscal year 2022 
joint explanatory statement. The Committee directs HUD to brief 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on those 
findings and recommendations within 90 days of enactment of 
this act.
    Section 811 Mainstream Vouchers.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $686,000,000 for the renewal of rental 
assistance and associated administrative costs of this program.
    Tribal HUD-VASH.--The Committee recommendation includes up 
to $7,500,000 for the renewal of rental assistance and 
associated administrative costs for the Tribal HUD-VASH 
demonstration program. The Committee continues to encourage HUD 
to use its existing reallocation authority where necessary to 
ensure this program is utilized to the greatest extent 
possible.
    HUD-VASH.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$30,000,000 to expand the HUD-VASH program, of which up to 
$10,000,000 may be used for other eligible expenses defined by 
notice to facilitate leasing, such as security deposit 
assistance and other costs related to retention and support of 
participating owners. For several years, the Committee has 
supported a wide range of initiatives to improve voucher 
utilization, including, but not limited to, using PHAs, 
continuums of care, and other local social service 
organizations to support referrals of homeless veterans, 
housing search and case management needs. Collaborative case 
management [CCM] models allow the VA Secretary to designate a 
third party to provide case management services to HUD-VASH 
veterans and can be effective in increasing the accessibility 
of case management services, particularly in circumstances 
where the VA is insufficiently staffed. However, without 
published guidance, the process for applying for such 
flexibilities is unclear. The Committee reminds HUD that the 
fiscal year 2023 joint explanatory statement directed HUD to 
continue to coordinate with the VA to establish pathways for 
temporary transitional case management in areas that PHAs have 
vouchers available and accompanied with VA case management 
resources but where vouchers are underutilized due to a lack of 
VA referrals, and to finalize its guidance related to approving 
a PHA to be a designated service provider. The Committee 
directs the Department to coordinate with the VA to jointly 
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 
30 days of enactment of this act on its progress in 
establishing these alternative models and how the Department is 
working with the VA to inform communities of their 
availability.
    Family Unification Program [FUP].--The Committee includes 
$30,000,000 for new FUP vouchers and allows HUD to provide 
vouchers outside of a competitive NOFO process to PHAs that 
have partnered with public child welfare agencies [PCWAs] and 
have identified eligible youth. The housing assistance, as 
authorized under section 8(x) of the United States Housing Act 
of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437f(x)), combined with access to 
supportive services through partnerships with the local PCWA, 
will enable youth to remain stably housed and achieve self-
sufficiency. To ensure that vouchers are available where youth 
need assistance, the Committee directs the Department to base 
the maximum number of vouchers that a PHA may request in a 
Federal fiscal year on identified need and referrals. To 
improve the accessibility of youth FUP vouchers, the Committee 
directs HUD in its training materials to encourage PHAs to 
affirmatively amend their administrative plans to facilitate 
requesting youth FUP vouchers.
    The Committee notes that both HUD and the PHAs are 
responsible for maximizing voucher utilization and reallocating 
vouchers when appropriate. In carrying out this responsibility, 
HUD should seek to minimize the risk that governing notices it 
publishes, especially when considering utilization thresholds, 
do not inadvertently lead to delays and preclude identified 
youth from receiving assistance through these vouchers. To 
better understand the Department's approach to allocating or 
reallocating vouchers, the Committee directs the Department to 
submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no 
later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this act a 
report identifying: (1) the Department's process and frequency 
for assessing if potential reallocations are appropriate, (2) 
the extent voucher utilization thresholds, related narratives 
and plans submitted by PHAs when requesting youth FUP vouchers, 
and HUD's review of those materials has resulted in the denial 
of additional vouchers being issued to a PHA, and (3) the 
amount of time required for the reviews described in (2).
    Special Purpose Vouchers.--The Committee understands that 
populations served by section 811 mainstream, FUP, and foster 
youth initiative vouchers face certain challenges to finding 
units available for lease within the normal timeframes of the 
larger voucher program. These difficulties increase the risk of 
these vulnerable groups experiencing homelessness and cause 
these vouchers to be unused. Therefore, the bill authorizes HUD 
to waive or specify alternative requirements for certain 
waiting list and timing requirements.
    Project-Based Vouchers.--The Committee reminds HUD that the 
fiscal year 2023 joint explanatory statement directed the 
Department to improve its collection of data on project-based 
vouchers, including their utilization, and to provide a 
briefing to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
on what data gaps exist and the steps HUD is taking to remedy 
those gaps. The Committee directs HUD to provide the briefing 
within 90 days of enactment of this act.
    Housing Choice Voucher Data Dashboard.--The Committee is 
appreciative of the Department's work to increase program 
transparency though the development of the voucher data 
dashboard tool. To better inform the identification of program 
challenges and where additional policy and research 
considerations may be beneficial, the Committee directs HUD to 
add PHA and special purpose voucher-level data points on 
voucher success rates and to identify the amount of reserves 
that HUD determines are in excess of prudent program 
management. The Committee underscores that neither additional 
data point should be inherently viewed as a deficiency of PHA's 
operations. Rather, such data can be instructive for 
identifying broader issues such as a lack of available housing 
stock at current fair market rents or a lack of landlord 
participation where more targeted outreach may be beneficial.

                        HOUSING CERTIFICATE FUND

                        (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Until fiscal year 2005, the housing certificate fund 
provided funding for both the project-based and tenant-based 
components of the section 8 program. Project-based rental 
assistance and tenant-based rental assistance are now 
separately funded accounts. The housing certificate fund 
retains balances from previous years' appropriations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

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

                          PUBLIC HOUSING FUND

Appropriations, 2023....................................  $8,514,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................   8,893,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   8,875,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account provides funding for the payment of operating 
subsidies, as well as modernization and capital expenses for 
approximately 3,000 PHAs (except tribally designated housing 
entities) that manage approximately 960,000 public housing 
units.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,875,000,000 
for the public housing fund, which is $18,000,000 less than the 
budget request and $361,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level.
    Operating Expenses.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$5,530,000,000 for allocations to PHAs through the operating 
fund formula to fully fund public housing operations in 2024.
    Capital Expenses.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$3,200,000,000 for allocations to PHAs through the capital fund 
formula, which is equal to the fiscal year 2023 enacted level.
    Shortfall Funding.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$35,000,000 to mitigate the risk of financial shortfalls among 
PHAs, which is $10,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level. PHAs have faced residual financial challenges as 
a result of the pandemic, and HUD has seen an increase in the 
number of PHAs eligible for shortfall awards and the total 
amount of their shortfalls. The Committee continues to direct 
that the allocation of these funds shall first be prioritized 
to PHAs with 249 or fewer public housing units that are 
experiencing shortfalls and have less than 1 month of reserves 
before allocating funds to larger PHAs.
    Receiverships and Troubled, Substandard or Otherwise At-
Risk PHAs.--The Committee recommendation includes $15,000,000 
for the cost of administrative and judicial receiverships and 
competitive grants for PHAs in receivership, designated 
troubled or substandard, or otherwise at risk to address 
capital needs.
    The Committee directs the Department to report quarterly 
during fiscal year 2024 to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the status of PHAs under receivership, 
including factors that informed the receivership, such as 
physical and financial scores, deficiencies with internal 
controls, and other information demonstrating why HUD believes 
PHAs are unable to effectively oversee their business 
operations. This report shall also include an identification of 
funding resources and technical assistance provided to each PHA 
for the purpose of transitioning out of receivership, and 
future steps HUD will take to address deficiencies in an effort 
to return the respective PHAs to local control.
    Emergency and Safety and Security Grants.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $30,000,000 for emergency capital 
needs, of which at least $10,000,000 is to be used for safety 
and security measures in public housing in order to protect 
tenants. The Committee believes that this level of funding will 
support both repairs from disasters and safety and security 
improvements. Therefore, the Committee directs the Department 
to fund eligible safety and security projects with a portion of 
these funds as quickly as possible.
    Residential Health Hazards.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $65,000,000 to help PHAs address lead-based paint and 
other residential health hazards, including mold, carbon 
monoxide, radon and fire, in public housing units. The 
Committee reminds the Department that the intent of this 
funding is to help PHAs come into compliance with Federal 
statutes and regulations in order to improve the living 
conditions of public housing residents. The Committee prohibits 
the Department from deeming any PHA that is under the direction 
of a monitor to be ineligible to apply for or receive funding, 
provided that the PHA is in compliance with any current 
memorandum of agreement or recovery agreements. The Committee 
also prohibits HUD from deeming any PHA as ineligible to apply 
for or receive funding that has a violation or violations of 
the lead-safe housing or lead disclosure rules and who present 
documentation establishing it is working in good faith to 
resolve such findings by meeting any deadlines it was required 
to reach under the terms of a settlement agreement, consent 
decree, voluntary agreement, or similar document as of the date 
of application. The Department is also prohibited from 
precluding funds from being used to carry out work to settle an 
outstanding violation. The Committee continues to expect the 
Department to work with PHAs to ensure that the initiative 
reflects the unique needs of the industry and strongly 
encourages HUD to work with PHAs, their maintenance staff, and 
tenants to help ensure potential lead-based paint risks are 
identified and addressed expeditiously. The Committee directs 
the Department to continue to explore ways to simplify the 
grant application process to enable PHAs to simultaneously 
address multiple health hazards, while maintaining transparency 
on the amount used to address lead-based paint hazards.
    Public Housing Data Dashboard.--The Committee appreciates 
the Department's work to increase program transparency though 
the development of the public housing data dashboard tool. To 
better inform the identification of program challenges and 
where additional policy and research considerations may be 
beneficial, the Committee directs HUD to add PHA-level data 
points on both program reserves and the amount of reserves that 
HUD determines are in excess of prudent program management. The 
Committee underscores that neither additional data point should 
be inherently viewed as a deficiency of PHA's operations. 
Rather, such data can be instructive for identifying broader 
policy and programmatic issues.
    Flexibility for Operating and Capital Funds.--The public 
housing program is the only Federal housing program that 
provides separate, and distinct funding streams to pay for 
capital and operating costs. The separate funding lines can 
result in program inefficiencies and additional administrative 
burdens and limit PHAs in their ability to respond to priority 
needs, including the backlog of capital needs and operating 
shortfalls. In 2020 and 2021, with the additional flexibilities 
provided by the Department to respond to the pandemic, the 
amount of capital funds used for operations and operating funds 
used for capital expenses increased. The Committee directs HUD 
submit to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no 
later than 240 days after the enactment of this act a report on 
the lessons learned on how the additional flexibility supported 
PHAs in recent years, how a single fund could be used to 
support investment in public housing properties, how an 
expansion of flexibilities could ensure that PHAs maintain 
adequate reserves to pay for current and long-term liabilities 
for the program, and how small, medium, and large PHAs are 
using current flexibilities.
    Cash Management.--The Committee notes that HUD has 
previously transitioned the section 8 voucher program's 
reserves to be maintained at the HUD-level rather than 
disbursed to PHAs which has resulted in a consistent 
understanding of available resources and no adverse impediments 
to PHA operations. The Committee directs HUD to brief the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the state of the 
public housing fund's compliance with cash management and on 
approaches to strengthen the program's compliance with cash 
management requirements, the efficient use of taxpayer funds, 
and data consistency, including the establishment of HUD-held 
program reserves consistent with the section 8 voucher program.
    Utility Costs.--According to HUD, utility expenses are 
approximately $2,000,000,000 annually. On average, public 
housing is typically less energy efficient than comparable 
privately-owned housing, primarily due to the aging housing 
stock and lack of investment in energy conservation measures. 
PHAs have several energy incentives available to support 
reductions in consumption and costs including energy 
performance contracts, rate reduction incentives, and the small 
and rural frozen rolling base program. The Committee directs 
HUD to submit to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations no later than 180 after enactment of this act a 
report that summarizes the use of these energy incentives by 
PHAs. Further, the report should identify any challenges PHAs 
face in using the incentives, and recommendations for how the 
incentives could be improved to support additional investment 
in energy conservation measures both for PHA-paid and resident-
paid utilities. Finally, the report should identify how PHAs 
use or could use energy audit information and existing 
databases on building performance to make informed decisions, 
ensure funding accuracy and enhance whole building data.
    Resident Services.--PHAs report that they are continuing 
efforts started during the pandemic to expend additional 
resources to connect families to local service providers or to 
directly provide such services to families. In some cases, PHAs 
report that they have changed hiring strategies to hire 
individuals with social service experience. Other than direct 
service programs like resident opportunity and self-sufficiency 
and family self-sufficiency, there is little public information 
available about the extent to which and how PHAs are using 
other resources like operating funds to provide such services. 
The Committee directs the Department to submit to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 180 days 
after enactment of this act a report that identifies how PHAs 
are managing services programs outside of HUD's supportive 
services programs, whether these alternative models of service 
provision could be replicated and scaled, and the extent such 
opportunities exist to extend services or service coordination 
to low-income residents at other HUD-assisted or tax credit 
supported properties.

              ASSISTED HOUSING INSPECTIONS AND ASSESSMENTS

Appropriations, 2023....................................................
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     $61,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      50,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 to 
support ongoing physical and financial assessment activities 
performed by REAC, including implementation of the national 
standards for the physical inspection of real estate [NSPIRE] 
model. Funding for such assessment activities is consolidated 
within one account to improve transparency and streamline HUD 
operations.
    Physical Property Inspection Coordination.--The Committee 
directs the Department to coordinate with the Treasury and USDA 
to clarify what actions the agencies are taking to align 
inspection standards and to raise awareness on ways to minimize 
the need for duplicative physical inspections, such as the 
existing physical inspection alignment program [PIAP], within 
60 days of enactment of this act. The Committee directs the 
Department to report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of this act on the 
extent to which the PIAP is currently utilized, the number of 
duplicative inspections and estimated costs that could 
eliminated if the PIAP was maximized, and any identified 
limitations to providing this data.
    The Committee is aware that the HOME statute additionally 
requires participating jurisdictions to document that units 
also meet State and local codes, which can lead to duplicative 
inspections. The Committee directs HUD to issue clarifying 
guidance and provide direct assistance to grantees on the PIAP 
and alternative processes to allow HOME participating 
jurisdictions to self-certify that NSPIRE inspections also meet 
State and local standards to avoid the need for redundant 
inspections.
    Health Hazards.--The Committee directs REAC to continue to 
work across the Department to improve processes and procedures 
to ensure consistent and timely actions are taken to address 
health hazards identified in HUD-assisted housing, and to 
expeditiously close out all open recommendations made in GAO 
report 18-394 on lead-based paint hazard in assisted housing 
and HUD OIG report 2020-CH-0003 on oversight of the lead-safe 
housing rule requirements. The Committee directs the Department 
to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations not 
less than annually on the procedures and systems established to 
monitor such actions, agency progress in improving timeliness, 
and how staffing and training resources are allocated to 
address the recommendations in HUD OIG report 2023-CH-0004.

                    CHOICE NEIGHBORHOODS INITIATIVE

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $350,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     185,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     150,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $150,000,000 
for the choice neighborhoods initiative. This amount is 
$200,000,000 less than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level and 
$35,000,000 less than the budget request. Of the total amount 
provided, not less than $75,000,000 shall be awarded to 
projects where PHAs are the lead applicant, and no more than 
$10,000,000 may be used for planning, including planning and 
action, grants. The Committee continues to direct the Secretary 
to give recipients of prior year planning grants priority 
consideration for implementation grant awards.

                       SELF-SUFFICIENCY PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $175,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     175,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     198,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$198,000,000 for self-sufficiency programs in fiscal year 2024, 
which is $23,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted 
level, and $23,000,000 more than the budget request. This 
includes $140,500,000 for the FSS program, $42,500,000 for the 
ROSS program, and $15,000,000 for the JPI.
    FSS Program.--The Committee strongly supports the FSS 
program, which provides public housing and section 8 residents 
with the tools to improve their economic stability and 
financial management skills, and ultimately achieve self-
sufficiency. Before awarding funding to new grantees, HUD shall 
first prioritize the renewal of all existing coordinators and 
second prioritize funding additional coordinators for current 
grantees whose program sizes qualify for additional 
coordinators.
    FSS Performance Metrics.--The Committee continues to 
advocate for effective performance measures that will enable 
the Department to promote best practices across programs and 
maximize the number of families that achieve self-sufficiency. 
To that end, the Committee supports efforts to update 
performance metrics for FSS and directs HUD to consider 
additional metrics in the performance score set forth in the 
November 25, 2018, final notice entitled ``Family Self-
Sufficiency Performance Measurement System (`Composite 
Score')'' that are focused on social outcomes for individuals. 
HUD shall provide a briefing to the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations within 30 days of enactment of this act on 
what steps have been taken to consider these additional 
metrics. Further, the Committee notes that HUD is in the 
process of improving the quality of the data and the analysis 
of FSS programs. The Committee directs HUD to brief the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on its FSS performance 
measurement methodology which will be published in the Federal 
Register and looks forward to continuing to review the 
Department's work in this area.
    JPI.--The bill includes authority requested in the 
President's budget to allow the JPI financial and rent 
incentive expenses to be paid from housing assistance source 
accounts to help reduce administrative burdens for HUD and 
grantees. To ensure transparency, HUD is directed to provide in 
its congressional justifications the actual total cost of the 
JPI, including the financial and rent incentives provided to 
program participants.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommended funding level for Native American 
programs is $1,081,625,000, which is $61,625,000 more than the 
amount provided in fiscal year 2023 and $28,625,000 more than 
the budget request. The table below provides funding levels for 
activities within this account.

    Competitive Grants.--The IHBG program is a vital resource 
for Tribal governments to address the dire housing conditions 
in Indian Country, as the quality of and access to affordable 
housing remains in a critical state for many Tribes across the 
country. The most recent HUD survey data indicates that over 
68,000 units of new affordable housing are necessary to replace 
substandard or over-crowded housing conditions for Native 
Americans and Alaska Natives living in Tribal areas. To assist 
Tribes with these daunting housing challenges, the Committee 
recommendation includes $848,625,000 in formula funding and 
$150,000,000 in competitive funding in order to assist areas 
with greater need. The competitive grants should prioritize 
projects that spur the construction and rehabilitation of 
housing units. Since the competitive program was initially 
funded in fiscal year 2019, over $400,000,000 has been awarded 
to 93 Tribes and TDHE's to construct approximately 1,550 new 
housing units and encourage economic development in distressed 
communities.
    In administering the competitive program, the Committee 
directs HUD staff to review and score each application in its 
entirety. Additionally, the fiscal year 2024 appropriation 
shall be administered as a new stand-alone competition and may 
not be combined with prior or future year appropriations, 
although any remaining balances from the fiscal year 2023 
competition or prior competition may be included in the fiscal 
year 2024 competition. Demonstrating sufficient administrative 
capacity to administer these grants has been, and remains, a 
critical consideration. Applicants should be required to meet a 
threshold of capacity, but the competition should not provide 
additional points for capacity above and beyond what is needed 
to successfully administer these grants.
    Coordinated Environmental Reviews for Tribal Housing and 
Related Infrastructure.--Since fiscal year 2015, the Committee 
has directed HUD to collaborate with its Federal agency 
partners to develop a coordinated environmental review process 
to simplify and streamline Tribal housing development and its 
related infrastructure needs. The Committee believes that 
eliminating unnecessary Federal barriers to housing development 
is an essential component to facilitate an effective use of 
Federal funding, while also balancing the need to ensure 
appropriate and necessary environmental protections. The 
Committee supports HUD's efforts to advance the Tribal Housing 
and Related Infrastructure Interagency Task Force in order to 
identify opportunities for greater efficiencies. The recently 
developed Tribal/Interagency environmental streamlining [TIES] 
tool will allow an agency to incorporate a NEPA document 
prepared by it or by another agency, as well as other 
publically available studies or materials, in its environmental 
reviews. The Committee directs HUD to develop guidance on 
incorporation by reference and to make the toolkit publically 
available within 120 days of enactment of this act. The 2020 
NEPA regulations also give agencies the flexibility to 
establish a process to use another agency's categorical 
exclusion. Given that there are over 133 categorical exclusions 
that are used for Tribal housing, roads, water, and broadband 
activities, the task force should focus on developing 
procedures to allow for using these new authorities and update 
the toolkit accordingly. The Committee appreciates HUD's work 
on this issue to date, and expects routine reports to the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on task force meetings, 
action items, goals, and recommendations.
    Technical Assistance.--Limited capacity hinders the ability 
of many Tribes to effectively address their housing needs. The 
Committee recommendation includes $7,000,000 for technical 
assistance needs in Indian Country to support the IHBG program, 
as well as other HUD programs, in order to meet the needs of 
Native American families and Indian Country. The Committee 
expects HUD to use the technical assistance funding provided to 
aid Tribes with capacity challenges, especially Tribes 
receiving small grant awards. The funding should be used for 
training, contract expertise, and other services necessary to 
improve data collection, increase leveraging, and address other 
needs identified by Tribes. The Committee also expects that 
these technical assistance funds will be provided to 
organizations with experience in providing technical assistance 
that reflects the unique needs and culture of Native Americans.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $905,700 in 
credit subsidy to support a loan level of $1,400,000,000. This 
appropriation is $4,615,300 less than the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level and equal to the budget request.
    The bill includes the legislative proposals referenced in 
the budget request to: (1) remove geographic disparities and 
expand program service areas to all Tribal members, regardless 
of where they purchase a home; (2) allow for mortgages to be 
guaranteed for up to 40 years in length when seeking to modify 
a loan to avoid foreclosure to align loss mitigation options 
with that of the FHA; and (3) prohibit section 184 and section 
184A loans from being subject to a property assessed clean 
energy [PACE] loan or equivalent financing without the 
financing provider first obtaining prior consent from HUD.
    Native Advantage.--The Committee remains concerned about 
the extraordinarily long period of time that it is taking to 
address the HUD Office of Inspector General findings and 
recommendations with respect to the processes and information 
technology systems that are used to monitor, track, evaluate, 
and report on the loans issued under the section 184 program 
dating back to 2015. In the latest of four Office of Inspector 
General reports and evaluations on this issue, there remains 16 
open recommendations and the Department still is not ``to a 
point at which there are adequate systems, monitoring, 
oversight, and enforcement . . . resulting in an increased 
overall risk to the program.'' The Department has briefed the 
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations that the latest 
iteration of IT modernization, the native advantage system, is 
currently in steady state of operations with minimal loan 
application, credit analysis and claims capabilities with the 
intention to establish a path forward for an end-to-end loan 
origination, monitoring, and reporting system by the second 
quarter of fiscal year 2024. The Committee directs the HUD 
Office of Inspector General to review the capabilities of the 
native advantage system once implemented to verify all 
outstanding recommendations are fully implemented and that the 
Department has achieved an appropriate level of oversight for 
its loan portfolio.
    Skilled Workers Loan Credit Subsidy.--The Committee notes 
that there remains $1,727,000 in skilled workers credit loan 
subsidy in carry over from fiscal year 2017, which could 
provide $421,219,512 in loan guarantees. The Committee strongly 
urges the Department to significantly expand stakeholder 
outreach regarding the availability of this resources which 
will help develop housing for the critical workforces that 
supports the education, healthcare, law enforcement, emergency 
response, and construction needs of Tribal communities.

                  NATIVE HAWAIIAN HOUSING BLOCK GRANT

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $22,300,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      22,300,000
Committee recommendation................................      22,300,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $22,300,000 
for the Native Hawaiian housing block grant program, which is 
equal to the fiscal year 2023 enacted level and the budget 
request.
    The Committee is encouraged to learn that DHHL intends to 
address the needs of low-income Native Hawaiians through the 
development of multifamily, affordable housing rental units, 
rent to own options on Hawaiian homelands, and permanent 
supportive housing for Native Hawaiians experiencing 
homelessness. The expansion of programmatic services beyond 
those that afford homeownership options will help to serve all 
Native Hawaiians on the waiting list, of which 46 percent are 
cost burdened and paying more than 30 percent of income on 
housing costs, 38 percent experience overcrowding, and 10 
percent lack complete plumbing facilities. Additionally, Native 
Hawaiians are overrepresented among Hawaii's homeless as Native 
Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders accounted for only 10 
percent of the state's population, but were over 40 percent of 
the individuals experiencing homelessness.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides $28,000,000 in loan 
guarantee commitment authority, including the authority to 
refinance loans. Since the section 184A program has operated on 
a negative subsidy since 2017, additional appropriations for 
subsidy are not necessary due to historically low defaults and 
high recovery rates of this successful program. The bill 
includes the legislative proposals referenced in the budget 
request to: (1) allow for mortgages to be guaranteed for up to 
40 years in length when seeking to modify a loan to avoid 
foreclosure to align loss mitigation options with that of the 
FHA; and (2) prohibit section 184 and section 184A loans from 
being subject to a PACE loan or equivalent financing without 
the financing provider first obtaining prior consent from HUD.

              HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $499,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     505,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     505,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $505,000,000 
for the HOPWA program, which is equal to the budget request and 
$6,000,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level.
    Meeting the Current Needs of Communities.--It is critical 
that people in every State have access to funding that supports 
low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS. Accordingly, 10 
percent of nonformula funding provides an opportunity to States 
and units of general local government that do not receive 
formula funding to apply for competitive grants. The Committee 
continues to include language requiring HUD to prioritize the 
renewal or replacement of expiring agreements in a manner that 
preserves existing HOPWA programs and allows active competitive 
grantees to modify and update their original activities to meet 
the current needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS within their 
communities. The Committee directs HUD to ensure competitive 
grantees are aware of the opportunity to modify and update 
service models and any potential benefits to doing so.

                       COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND

Appropriations, 2023....................................  $6,397,285,641
Budget estimate, 2024...................................   3,415,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   4,491,483,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee provides $4,491,483,000 for the community 
development fund, which is $1,076,483,000 above the budget 
request and $1,905,802,641 below the fiscal year 2023 enacted 
level. Within this total, $3,300,000,000 is for CDBG, 
$30,000,000 is for activities authorized under the SUPPORT for 
Patients and Communities Act, $100,000,000 is for grants to 
reduce barriers to affordable housing development, and 
$1,061,483,000 is for economic development initiatives [EDIs].
    Since 2005, CDBG has assisted nearly 1.7 million homeowners 
with services such as housing rehabilitation, down payment 
assistance, and lead abatement; helped create or retain over 
500,000 jobs; and benefited over 609 million people through 
public facility improvements. For every dollar of CDBG funding 
invested in 2021, an additional $2.80 was leveraged in non-CDBG 
funding. The flexibility associated with CDBG enables State and 
local governments to tailor solutions to effectively meet the 
unique needs of their communities. As HUD works with 
communities to determine eligible activities that meet the 
national objective of benefiting low- and moderate-income 
persons, the Committee encourages the Department to extend 
flexibility to rural communities with less than 1,000 residents 
to use alternate sources of data when American community survey 
data is considered by the CDBG applicant to be unreliable. 
Additionally, to ensure accountability and transparency, the 
Committee recommendation continues provisions in this act that 
prohibit any community from selling its CDBG award to another 
community, and that require any funding provided to a for-
profit entity for an economic development project funded under 
this act to undergo appropriate underwriting.
    Yes In My Backyard Incentive Grant Program.--For decades, 
housing production across the country has not kept pace with 
population growth, resulting in a nation-wide housing shortage. 
This is in part due to restrictive local zoning and land use 
regulations as well as a lack of necessary housing-related 
infrastructure. The Federal Government can support communities 
as they remove barriers to affordable housing production in 
order to increase the supply of housing, lower housing costs, 
and ensure families have an affordable place to live, 
particularly in high-opportunity neighborhoods. The Committee 
includes $100,000,000 for this competitive grant program to 
reward State, local, and regional jurisdictions that have made 
significant progress in improving zoning and land use policies, 
or removing other local barriers, that can increase affordable 
housing production and preservation. Improved policies may 
include increasing density, reducing minimum lot sizes, 
creating transit-oriented development zones, streamlining or 
shortening permitting processes and timelines, expanding by-
right multifamily zoned areas, allowing accessory dwelling 
units [ADU] on lots with single-family homes, eliminating or 
relaxing residential property height limitations, eliminating 
or reducing off-street parking requirements, and allowing the 
conversion of vacant retail and office space into residential 
housing. Eligible grant activities shall include new 
construction of housing, including mixed-income housing to the 
greatest extent possible, and putting in place the necessary 
infrastructure for new housing development. When making awards, 
the Committee encourages HUD to ensure geographic diversity 
amongst grantees, including in urban, suburban, rural areas.
    CDBG Formula Modernization.--The Committee notes that the 
CDBG formula has not been updated since 1978 and is in need of 
review. The Committee recognizes that HUD is nearing completion 
of a past-due report required by the fiscal year 2023 joint 
explanatory statement related to work undertaken by the 
Department in 2021 and 2022, and planned work in 2023, to 
update the CDBG formula and reauthorize the CDBG program, and 
reminds HUD of its obligation to fulfil this requirement in a 
timely manner.
    Rulemaking.--The Committee notes that HUD is developing a 
proposed rulemaking for CDBG program regulations that could 
enhance grantees' ability to use CDBG funds, update 
definitions, and streamline reporting requirements, working 
within the constraints of the existing statute. The Committee 
is concerned that delays in proposing this rule perpetuate 
administrative burdens on grantees. The Committee directs HUD 
to prioritize publishing the CDBG proposed rule in 2023, work 
expeditiously towards a final rule, and take steps in the 
interim to use administrative authorities to reduce unnecessary 
burdens.
    EDIs.--The Committee recommends $1,061,483,000 for EDIs. 
EDIs are CDS projects that support a variety of community 
development and affordable housing needs and benefit low- and 
moderate-income areas and people or meet an urgent need. The 
Committee directs HUD to provide funding for the projects 
listed in the table at the end of this report in the 
corresponding amounts. The Committee continues to direct HUD to 
provide semi-annual briefings to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the implementation of EDIs and 
the Department's oversight of projects.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation provides a loan level 
guarantee of $400,000,000, which is $100,000,000 more than the 
fiscal year 2023 enacted level and equal to the budget request. 
The Committee requires HUD to collect fees to offset credit 
subsidy costs such that the program operates at a net zero 
credit subsidy cost.
    This program enables CDBG recipients to use their CDBG 
dollars to leverage financing for economic development 
projects, community facilities, and housing rehabilitation 
programs. Communities are allowed to borrow up to five times 
their most recent CDBG allocation.
    Loan Guarantee Level.--The Committee notes the growing 
demand for Section 108 loan guarantees to finance construction 
of infrastructure improvements and renovation of multi-family 
housing and that the fiscal year 2024 loan guarantee 
applications are expected to exceed $300,000,000. As a result, 
the Committee includes the budget request to increase the loan 
guarantee authority to $400,000,000.

Appropriations, 2023....................................  $1,500,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................   1,800,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,500,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,500,000,000 
for the HOME program. This amount is equal to the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level and $300,000,000 less than the budget 
request.
    Affordable Housing Needs.--Communities across the country 
continue to face an affordable housing crisis as rents are on 
the rise nationally, low and moderate incomes have not kept 
pace with housing cost increases, and the production of 
affordable housing units lags far behind the need. According to 
HUD's most recent ``Worst Case Housing Needs: 2021 Report to 
Congress'', in 2019, only 62 affordable units were available 
for every 100 very low-income renter households and only 40 
units were available for every 100 extremely low-income 
renters. The HOME program is an essential tool to address the 
shortfall of affordable housing for rent or homeownership and 
provides necessary public gap financing to facilitate private 
sector investment in affordable housing, enabling significant 
leverage capacity of public and private resources. Over the 
life of the program, HOME has leveraged more than 
$174,000,000,000 in other funding sources for affordable 
housing, yielding $4.73 in other sources invested in rental and 
homebuyer project for every HOME dollar invested.
    Rulemaking.--The Committee notes that HUD is drafting a 
proposed rulemaking for the HOME program to streamline and 
modernize program regulations, working within the constraints 
of the existing statute. The Committee directs HUD to 
prioritize publishing the proposed HOME rule in 2023, work 
expeditiously towards a final rule, and take steps in the 
interim to use administrative authorities to reduce unnecessary 
burdens.

        SELF-HELP AND ASSISTED HOMEOWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $62,500,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      60,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      61,500,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $61,500,000 for the self-help and 
assisted homeownership opportunity program, which is $1,000,000 
less than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level and $1,500,000 
more than the budget request. The Committee recommendation 
includes $13,500,000 for SHOP, as authorized under section 11 
of the Housing Opportunity Program Extension Act of 1996 
(Public Law 104-120); $42,000,000 for capacity building, as 
authorized by section 4(a) of the HUD Demonstration Act of 1993 
(Public Law 104-120), of which not less than $5,000,000 is for 
rural capacity building activities; and $6,000,000 to carry out 
the National capacity building activities in rural communities. 
The Committee notes that funding for technical assistance is 
being provided in the research and technology account and 
directs that funds available for the section 4 program be used 
solely for capacity building activities.
    SHOP Per Unit Average Investment Cap.--SHOP funds can be 
used to acquire land, purchase foreclosed or abandoned 
properties, and improve the infrastructure of homes for first 
time, low-income homeowners. The Committee recognizes these 
activities are some of the most difficult activities for 
nonprofits to finance. The Committee notes that HUD increased 
the allowable average SHOP expenditure for the combined cost of 
land acquisition and infrastructure improvements for the first 
time since 2004 in the fiscal year 2022 NOFO. The Committee 
directs HUD to use its existing authorities to include an 
allowable average per SHOP unit cost in the fiscal year 2024 
NOFO that is greater than the historical cap of $15,000 per 
SHOP unit.
    Data Collection.--The Committee is pleased with the 
progress that HUD has made to improve, increase, and 
standardize SHOP data collection requirements for grantees and 
strengthen its internal data analysis relating to cost trends, 
needs, changes, and impacts for the average per SHOP unit cost, 
as required by the fiscal year 2023 joint explanatory 
statement. The Committee directs HUD to continue these efforts 
for SHOP and to look for ways to increase and improve data 
collection and analysis in other programs funded under this 
heading.
    Capacity Building to Address the Needs of Tribal 
Communities.--The Section 4 capacity building for community 
development and affordable housing program provides Federal 
funding to national nonprofit intermediaries to carry out 
affordable housing and community development activities, 
including increasing access to safe and affordable housing and 
supporting income and asset building opportunities. American 
Indian, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan communities and 
populations, much like other communities, face rising housing 
cost burdens and barriers to homeownership, as well as 
disproportionate physical housing and capacity deficiencies. 
Therefore, HUD is directed to ensure section 4 grantees 
collectively invest not less than $1,000,000 in targeted 
capacity building activities to benefit Native Hawaiian, 
American Indian, and Native Alaskan communities and 
populations. This minimum investment is separate from the 
required investment for rural capacity building activities of 
not less than $5,000,000.
    Rural Capacity Building Program.--Funding for the rural 
capacity building program for community development and 
affordable housing is intended for truly national 
organizations. For the purposes of the national rural capacity 
building NOFO, the Committee directs HUD to define an eligible 
national organization as ``a nonprofit entity, which has 
ongoing experience in rural housing, including experience 
working with rural housing organizations, local governments, 
and Indian Tribes, as evidenced by past and continuing work in 
one or more States in eight or more of HUD's Federal regions.''

                       HOMELESS ASSISTANCE GRANTS

Appropriations, 2023....................................  $3,633,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................   3,749,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   3,908,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,908,000,000 
for homeless assistance grants in fiscal year 2024. This amount 
is $159,000,000 above the budget request, and $275,000,000 
above the fiscal year 2023 enacted level.
    The Committee recommendation includes $3,401,000,000 to 
support the CoC program, including the renewal of existing 
projects, the rural housing stability assistance program, and 
$290,000,000 for the ESG program. Of the amount provided for 
the CoC program, no less than $21,000,000 shall be for 
technical assistance.
    Biennial Competitions.--Each year CoCs spend thousands of 
hours implementing a local competition process and completing 
the application for the annual CoC NOFO. These hours could be 
better spent on strategic planning and improving project 
performance and service coordination to prevent and end 
homelessness. Section 253 of this act allows HUD to issue a 
two-year NOFO for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. In the NOFO, the 
Committee directs the Department to prescribe the conditions, 
format, and process by which the awards will be 
noncompetitively renewed in year two, allowing for adjustments 
for fair market rents, expiring grants that were not eligible 
for renewal in the first year, and the replacement of 
underperforming projects.
    Improving Access to Healthcare and Services.--Several 
studies have demonstrated that interventions focused on social 
determinants of health can help support housing permanency 
while also reducing healthcare costs. The Committee supports 
the efforts underway between HUD and the Department of Health 
and Human Services' [HHS's] Centers for Medicare and Medicaid 
Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service 
Administration, Administration for Community Living and 
Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation to provide 
direct technical assistance to communities leveraging programs, 
like medicaid, to cover and provide housing-related supportive 
services and behavioral healthcare. Within the amounts provided 
under this heading for technical assistance, the Committee 
provides $5,000,000 to support direct, community-specific 
technical assistance to such communities. The Committee directs 
HUD and HHS to jointly brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on this effort within 180 days of enactment of 
this act.
    The Committee recommendation also includes up to 
$25,000,000 for one-time, non-renewable grants to CoCs to 
support the system-level changes needed to improve coordination 
to address housing-related supportive services and improve 
access to health services, particularly for chronically 
homeless individuals. These funds are intended to provide 
flexible support to bolster CoC capacity and may be used to 
address a wide range of costs, such as staffing increases and 
training needs to support interagency coordination and benefit 
design, costs associated with system or process changes to 
support medicaid billing and payment requirements, and data 
integration needs.
    The Committee is concerned with multiple reports of service 
provider challenges in hiring and retaining qualified 
personnel. These challenges adversely impact the delivery of 
direct supportive services to people experiencing homelessness 
and those being served in permanent housing programs, and 
undermines the effectiveness of the Federal investment in 
ending homelessness. To ensure that projects can offer 
competitive wages and salaries to employees, the amounts 
provided for the CoC program include $25,000,000 for supportive 
service line items to address reasonable cost of living 
adjustments, and directs the Secretary to provide such 
increases. The Committee directs HUD to brief the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations on its planned methodology 
for making such adjustments within 90 days of enactment of this 
act.
    Planning Resources.--The bill continues to include 
authority for the Secretary to allow grantees to use the larger 
of 5 percent or $50,000 of their grants for planning. This 
change is intended to help smaller grantees who have lacked 
adequate resources to coordinate assistance across the multiple 
governmental and nonprofit entities that administer housing and 
supportive service programs in their CoC. Thus, the Committee 
directs HUD to continue its practice of administratively 
capping planning funds for the largest grantees.
    Permanent Supportive Housing.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $100,000,000 for grants to CoCs for the construction, 
acquisition, or rehabilitation of new permanent supportive 
housing. These funds are largely intended to be one-time 
grants, but up to 20 percent of a grant may be used for 
operational and supportive costs which will be eligible for 
renewal within the context of the overall CoC competition. The 
Committee encourages HUD and CoCs to leverage these funds with 
other funding sources, such as tax credits and project-based 
rental assistance, to maximize the amount of housing that can 
be directed to meeting the needs of homeless individuals and 
families, especially those who are unsheltered or seeking to 
exit emergency shelter.
    Addressing the Needs of Survivors of Domestic Violence.--
The Committee recommendation continues to provide no less than 
$52,000,000 in CoC grants for rapid re-housing projects and 
supportive service projects providing coordinated entry and 
other critical activities in order to assist survivors of 
domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. As grants 
through the CoC program, such projects are eligible for renewal 
and subject to the same terms and conditions as other renewal 
applicants in the CoC program.
    As noted in the Department's congressional budget 
justifications, many providers and communities, including past 
recipients of funding dedicated for domestic violence 
survivors, need help implementing comparable homeless databases 
compliant with VAWA requirements. The Committee supports the 
Department's efforts to build victim service providers' 
capacity to ensure high-quality data to support implementation 
and demonstration effectiveness, while maintaining the 
confidentiality of survivor data. The Committee directs HUD to 
provide technical assistance to victim services providers on 
homeless databases and to promote best practices and cost-
effective solutions.
    Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program [YHDP].--The 
Committee recommendation includes $107,000,000 to continue 
implementation of comprehensive approaches to serving homeless 
youth, of which up to $10,000,000 shall be used to provide 
technical assistance to grantees, and of which not less than 
$25,000,000 shall be for youth homelessness system improvement 
grants. These competitive grants to CoCs are intended to 
improve youth homelessness systems on a local level and help 
implement successful, evidence-based intervention methods for 
this population. The Committee directs HUD to ensure that 
sufficient technical assistance resources and equal 
consideration for youth homelessness system improvement grants 
are provided to rural areas. When determining grant awards, the 
Committee encourages HUD to incorporate the following 
components as objectives for grantees: youth collaboration in 
project design and implementation, including establishment of 
local youth advisory boards; quality data collection, 
management, utilization, and evaluation; direct coordination 
and communication with service providers; cross-system 
partnerships including juvenile justice, child welfare, and 
education systems; and prevention and diversion strategies. The 
Committee prohibits the use of these funds for direct services 
or housing.
    Clarifying Eligibility and Documentation Requirements for 
Homeless Youth.--The Committee continues to include language 
that waives the requirement for youth ages 24 and under to 
provide third-party documentation to receive housing and 
supportive services within the CoC. The Committee encourages 
the Department to continue to clarify program requirements 
through guidance, notice, and webcasts as appropriate.
    Tribal Participation in CoC and YHDP.--The Consolidated 
Appropriations Act of 2021 (Public Law 116-260) expanded CoC 
grantee eligibility allowing federally recognized Indian Tribes 
and TDHEs to be recipients of CoC funds. Although the CoC and 
YHDP NOFOs have been updated to clearly indicate their 
eligibility for funds, Tribal participation to date has been 
limited. The Committee recommendation provides additional 
flexibilities to Tribes and TDHEs that are needed to 
successfully participate in the CoC program. The Committee also 
encourages HUD to expand outreach to Tribes and TDHEs and 
provide guidance or trainings on the CoC program as 
appropriate.
    Homelessness Among Older Adults.--As the general population 
continues to age, these trends are also being observed in the 
homeless population. The combination of aging and homelessness 
has greater detrimental health effects on individuals than is 
the case with elderly and near elderly individuals that are 
housed. The Committee is aware of these trends and is concerned 
that the Federal response to homelessness may need to adjust to 
account for these demographic changes. The Committee is also 
concerned that while there is a growing body of research that 
looks at limited population samples, there is a lack of 
comprehensive Federal data. This is highlighted by HUD's point-
in-time count grouping together all adults over age 25 without 
further disaggregation that could inform questions of scale and 
scope nationally and not just in some larger metropolitan areas 
of the country. The Committee urges the Department to review 
and improve its data collection related to elderly and near 
elderly homeless individuals and households, as well as to 
coordinate with its Federal partners through the USICH to 
improve the Federal data collection, dissemination, and 
understanding of aging homeless populations and the 
implications for Federal policy.
    Homeless Management Information Systems [HMIS].--The 
Committee is aware of reports that CoCs are having difficulty 
using HMIS to inform real time decisions, as needed to rehouse 
those experiencing homelessness. These barriers can take the 
form of high costs, licensing limitations, lack of system 
interoperability, and upgrade requirements that directly 
inhibit a CoC's ability to use their own data. The Committee 
directs HUD to work with CoCs, people who have experienced 
homelessness, vendors, and other stakeholders to provide 
guidance that requires vendors to provide a standard report of 
all currently active individuals and key program information 
that is available to CoCs as needed, and to specify application 
programming interface requirements and other specifications so 
CoCs can better share information and ensure privacy and 
security for more effective real-time program management. The 
Committee also encourages HUD to work with HMIS software 
vendors and CoCs to address structural and financial barriers 
so CoCs can more quickly and easily utilize their data to 
rehouse those experiencing homelessness in their communities.
    Point-in-time Count.--The Committee reminds HUD that the 
fiscal year joint explanatory statement directed the Department 
to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
on the viability of creating a digital point-in-time count data 
collection and analysis platform for communities to use.
    Annual Homeless Assessment Report [AHAR].--The Committee 
continues to direct HUD to incorporate additional Federal data 
on homelessness, particularly as it relates to youth 
homelessness, into the AHAR. This information is important to 
ensure that communities develop and implement policies that 
respond to local needs.

                            Housing Programs


                    PROJECT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2023.................................... $14,907,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................  15,904,000,000
Committee recommendation................................  15,790,924,000

Note: Amounts for fiscal year 2023 include $969,420,000 in emergency-
designated funding appropriated in Division N of Public Law 117-328. The 
committee recommendation for fiscal year 2024 includes $5,081,790,000 in 
emergency-designated funding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$15,790,924,000 for the annual renewal of project-based 
contracts, of which up to $448,000,000 is for the cost of 
contract administrators and $32,924,000 is for budget-based 
rent increases to certain project-based contracts. The 
recommended level of funding is $883,924,000 above the amount 
provided in fiscal year 2023 and $113,076,000 below the budget 
request.
    Performance-Based Contract Administrators.--Performance-
based contract administrators [PBCAs] are PHAs, or their 
instrumentalities, and State housing finance agencies [HFAs], 
and are responsible for conducting on-site management reviews 
of assisted properties; adjusting contract rents; and 
reviewing, processing, and paying monthly vouchers submitted by 
owners, among other tasks. The Committee notes that PBCAs are 
integral to the Department's efforts to be more effective and 
efficient in the oversight and monitoring of this program, 
reduce improper payments, protect tenants, and ensure 
properties are well maintained, and that there are current 
PBCAs that have demonstrated success in providing high quality 
program services and have valuable experience in administering 
affordable housing resources in the state in which it operates. 
The Committee recognizes that HUD has faced a complicated task 
of developing new PBCA arrangements before the current ones 
expire in 2025. The bill includes a modified version of the 
general provision in the President's budget request and directs 
HUD to ensure the new arrangements result in effective and 
efficient oversight and monitoring of the PBRA program, quality 
services and activities offered to property owners and tenants 
in each state, and maintains safe, stable, and affordable 
housing for the approximately 1.3 million households living in 
PBRA properties across the country. HUD is directed to continue 
to work with relevant stakeholders on a permanent statutory 
framework for PBCAs. Additionally, the Committee recognizes 
that tenants can serve a valuable role in identifying potential 
problems with the physical condition of a property. The 
Committee urges HUD to assess the effectiveness of using 
resident surveys as a tool to help PBCAs conduct effective 
oversight.
    Oversight of Property Owners.--The Committee places a 
priority on providing access to safe, sanitary, and affordable 
housing to those most in need. If owners fail to uphold these 
standards, HUD should hold them accountable. The Committee 
continues to include a general provision requiring the 
Department to take specific steps to ensure that serious 
defects are quickly addressed. This provision requires the 
Secretary to take specific actions if an owner fails to 
maintain its property, including imposing civil monetary 
penalties, securing a different owner for the property, or 
transferring the Section 8 contract to another property.
    Managing Troubled Properties.--The Committee remains 
concerned for tenants enduring deplorable living conditions 
that risk their health and safety, as a result of delayed or 
inaccurate REAC inspections of troubled properties and HUD's 
inability to track property owners under litigation for failure 
to maintain decent, safe, and sanitary housing. The Committee 
continues to include a general provision requiring HUD to 
report on properties with failing physical inspection scores of 
less than 60 or that have received an unsatisfactory management 
and occupancy review within the past 36 months to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations. The Committee directs HUD 
to include in this report data on project-based rental 
assistance program properties and units that have exited the 
programs as a result of contract abatement from poor physical 
conditions or for other reasons and to identify if the 
properties and units are preserved through a transfer to other 
properties or are lost.
    Properties with Health, Safety, or Operational 
Deficiencies.--The Committee includes $32,924,000 for HUD to 
provide budget-based rent adjustments to PBRA contracts that 
have been renewed through the mark-to-market [M2M] program and 
are distressed or at risk of becoming distressed. In utilizing 
this additional funding, the Department shall prioritize 
properties that meet all of the following conditions: rents 
below 80 percent of fair market rent; REAC scores below 70; and 
designated as troubled or potentially troubled. The Committee 
reiterates the importance of maintaining properties in a 
decent, safe, and sanitary condition and encourages HUD to 
ensure the rent adjustments will help address the operational 
and/or physical needs of the properties. Further, the Committee 
reminds HUD of the directive included in the fiscal year 2023 
joint explanatory statement to use existing data sources, 
including PBCA/HUD management and occupancy reviews, as well as 
REAC inspections, to assess the physical property and 
operational needs amongst post-M2M properties and other PBRA 
properties with health and safety deficiencies. This 
information will enable the Committees to better understand the 
scope of the budget-based rent adjustment needs for PBRA 
properties. HUD should provide the results of this assessment 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as soon as 
possible.

                        HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY

Appropriations, 2023....................................  $1,075,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................   1,023,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,075,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,075,000,000 
for the section 202 program. This amount is equal to the amount 
provided in fiscal year 2023 and $52,000,000 more than the 
budget request. The Committee's recommendation includes: 
$797,000,000 for the costs associated with fully funding all 
annual PRAC renewals and amendments; $6,000,000 to support 
preservation transactions originally developed with a capital 
advance and assisted by a PRAC; $152,000,000 for new capital 
advances; and $120,000,000 for service coordinators and the 
continuation of existing congregate service grants.

                 HOUSING FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $360,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     356,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     360,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $360,000,000 
for the section 811 program. This amount is $4,000,000 more 
than the budget request and equal to the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level. This level of funding, in addition to residual 
receipts, recaptures, and other unobligated balances, will 
support all PRAC renewals and amendments while also providing 
up to $152,000,000 for the creation of new affordable housing 
for persons with disabilities through project rental 
assistance.

                     HOUSING COUNSELING ASSISTANCE

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $57,500,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      66,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      57,500,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $57,500,000 
for housing counseling assistance. This level of funding is 
equal to the fiscal year 2023 enacted level and $8,500,000 
below the budget request. Of the amount provided, up to 
$4,500,000 is available for administrative contract services. 
HUD is directed to prioritize funding for grants if the fiscal 
year 2024 carryover balances for administrative contract 
services remain high and in excess of what is required for the 
year. The Committee continues language requiring HUD to 
obligate housing counseling grants within 180 days of enactment 
of this act, as well as permitting HUD to publish multi-year 
NOFOs, contingent on annual appropriations. This should result 
in administrative savings for both HUD and its grantees.
    Housing Counseling Agency Partnerships with Minority 
Serving Institutions [MSIs].--The Committee continues to direct 
HUD to use not less than $3,000,000 of the funds provided for 
the housing counseling grant program specifically for housing 
counseling agencies to partner with historically black colleges 
and universities, Tribal colleges and universities, and other 
MSIs.
    Expanding Services to Historically Underserved 
Communities.--The Committee encourages the Department to 
continue its efforts to expand outreach to diverse and 
historically underserved communities, including Asian-Pacific, 
Latino, Black, Native Alaskan, Native Hawaiian, Tribal, and 
rural communities. Outreach efforts must include culturally 
sensitive and linguistically appropriate service delivery, 
materials, and educational initiatives. Of the amounts 
provided, up to $5,000,000 may be used to continue the recently 
initiated homeownership initiative targeted to historically 
underserved communities. The Committee directs the Office of 
Housing Counseling to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on this initiative within 180 days of enactment

            PAYMENT TO MANUFACTURED HOUSING FEES TRUST FUND

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $14,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      14,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      14,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $14,000,000 to support the 
manufactured housing standards programs, of which $14,000,000 
is expected to be derived from fees collected and deposited 
into the manufactured housing fees trust fund account. No 
direct appropriation is provided. The total amount recommended 
is equal to the budget request and equal to the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level.
    Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee [MHCC] 
Construction and Safety Standards Backlog.--The Committee is 
disappointed that the fourth and fifth sets of construction and 
safety standards recommended by the MHCC have not been 
finalized and continues to be delayed. The Committee directs 
the Department to expeditiously move forward on rulemaking and 
provide a briefing to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on this issue within 90 days of enactment of 
this act.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee has included the following amounts for the 
MMI Program account: a limitation on guaranteed loans of 
$400,000,000,000, a limitation on direct loans of $1,000,000, 
and $150,000,000 for administrative contract expenses. This 
amount for administrative contract expenses is equal to the 
fiscal year 2023 enacted level. For the GI/SRI account, the 
Committee recommends $35,000,000,000 as a limitation on 
guaranteed loans and a limitation on direct loans of 
$1,000,000.
    Institutional Investment in Single-Family Housing.--The 
Committee remains concerned by the increasing concentration of 
institutional financial investment in single-family housing in 
a number of geographic areas, which could distort local real 
estate markets and create barriers to affordable homeownership. 
The Committee directs HUD to continue to prioritize sale of HUD 
owned single-family homes to owner-occupants, HUD-approved 
nonprofits, and government entities to mitigate any negative 
effects from institutional investors.
    Limited English Proficiency.--The Committee applauds the 
FHA's work to translate its single family mortgage documents 
and related resources used in the origination of FHA-insured 
mortgages. These translated materials will help borrowers and 
reduce the risk of FHA-insured mortgages for individuals with 
limited English proficiency. The Committee expects the HUD to 
continue to translate these materials into additional 
languages.
    Increasing Affordable Housing Supply.--The Committee 
supports FHA's efforts to increase the supply of affordable 
housing, and commends FHA's proposed changes to allow lenders 
to include a portion of the actual or prospective rental income 
from an ADU in a borrower's effective income for purposes of 
qualifying for an FHA-insured 203(b) or 203(k) mortgage. 
However, the 203(k) program still cannot be used to construct a 
new stand-alone ADU not affixed to an existing structure on the 
property, and the Committee directs the FHA to submit a 
legislative proposal to do so within 30 days of enactment of 
this act. The FHA should also provide other legislative 
proposals to increase the supply of FHA-insured affordable 
housing and provide a briefing on its legislative proposals 
within 60 days of enactment of this act to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations and relevant authorizing 
Committees. The briefing shall include information in the 
impact of FHA's legislative proposals to expand the housing 
supply, the impact on offsetting receipts deposited into the 
MMI fund, and any other potential impacts of these proposals.
    HUD Handbook.--The Committee encourages the HUD and FHA to 
simplify the process for registering government housing 
agencies as mortgagors for the purposes of FHA insurance 
eligibility and provide needed assurances for lenders to 
further encourage participation. The FHA should consider 
updating its single-family housing handbook for the 203(b) 
mortgagor program by deeming section 115 entities to be 
instrumentalities of Government for the purpose of providing 
secondary financing ``or as an FHA Mortgagor''. FHA should also 
consider clarifying that section 115 entities do not require 
approval to participate in FHA's nonprofit secondary financing 
``or FHA Mortgagor programs''. HUD should improve its training 
for homeownership center staff and clarify lender instructions.
    FHA Multifamily Housing.--The current increase in the cost 
of construction has led to fewer new construction and 
rehabilitation loan applications for FHA multifamily loan 
guarantees. The Committee urges the FHA to mitigate the 
pressure from increased construction costs by providing 
flexibility to loan applicants while maintaining effective risk 
management. For properties that have spent substantial time in 
the application queue, the FHA should consider allowing 
reconsideration of rents that have increased during the 
underwriting process to reflect current market conditions and 
providing flexibility in underwriting where construction costs 
have increased or when storage for construction materials and 
supplies on a building location is constrained. The FHA should 
communicate to stakeholders the actions it has and can take to 
increase the volume of FHA multifamily lending. The Committee 
directs the Department to brief the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of this act on 
the actions taken by the Department to increase volume of FHA 
multifamily lending and update guidance for processing new 
construction and rehabilitation loans.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a limitation on new commitments on 
mortgage-backed securities of $900,000,000,000. This level is 
the $450,000,000,000 above the budget request and equal to the 
fiscal year 2023 enacted level. The bill allows Ginnie Mae to 
use $54,000,000 for salaries and expenses. This is $13,600,000 
more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level and $7,000,000 
less than the budget request.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Title V of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 
(Public Law 91-609), as amended, directs the Secretary of the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development to undertake 
programs of research, evaluation, and reports relating to the 
Department's mission and programs. These functions are carried 
out internally and through grants and contracts with industry, 
nonprofit research organizations, educational institutions, and 
through agreements with State and local governments and other 
Federal agencies. The research programs seek ways to improve 
the efficiency, effectiveness, and equity of HUD programs and 
to identify methods to achieve cost reductions. Additionally, 
this appropriation is used to support HUD evaluation and 
monitoring activities and to conduct housing surveys.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $145,400,000 
for the research and technology account in fiscal year 2024. 
This level is equal to the fiscal year 2023 enacted level and 
$9,600,000 less than the budget request.
    The following table summarizes the Committee's 
recommendations for fiscal year 2024:

      Total..........................................       145,400,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Core Research and Technology.--The Committee 
recommendations includes not less than $70,000,000 for core 
research and technology, of which $500,000 is for innovation 
activities and $5,000,000 is for cooperative agreements with 
minority serving institutions, including Tribal colleges and 
universities, Asian American and Native Pacific Islander 
serving institutions, historically black colleges and 
universities, Hispanic serving institutions, and other minority 
serving institutions.
    Research, Evaluation, and Demonstration.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $10,400,000 for research, evaluation, 
and demonstration. Included in this total is funding for 
ongoing research on moving to work [MTW] expansion, and for new 
research projects, including: testing innovative housing 
discrimination studies methodologies, reducing regulatory 
barriers, assessing impacts of climate change on Tribal 
communities, Native Alaskans, and Native Hawaiians and U.S. 
territories, expanding the eligible uses of HCV housing 
assistance payments, missing middle financing, utility 
allowance modeling, and the use of HOME-ARP and state and local 
fiscal recovery funds for housing supply. Remaining funds may 
be used for research on bias in the appraisal process.
    Technical Assistance.--The Committee recommendation 
includes up to $45,000,000 for technical assistance. Of this 
amount, up to $5,000,000 is for the distressed cities and 
persistent poverty technical assistance program. The Committee 
directs HUD to assess how it can improve technical assistance 
to State and local entities to access Federal housing resources 
across the country and make recommendations on best practices 
and the Federal support necessary to the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of 
this act.
    Investor Owned Housing.--The Committee directs HUD to 
convene experts to discuss what data might be available to 
assess if owners of multiple single family housing properties 
within a local metropolitan market have an outsized influence 
on that market. The Committee further directs HUD to assess the 
feasibility of collecting and producing rental property 
investor ownership data, disaggregated by state and ownership 
entity size, in the next data collection cycle for the 2027 
rental housing finance survey. HUD is encouraged to also assess 
the feasibility of including data identifying the locations and 
market share of large single family housing investors and the 
impact of these investors' activities, if any, on housing 
availability, affordability, eviction rates, home maintenance, 
and gentrification.
    Fair Market Rents [FMRs].--The Committee remains concerned 
that, in some areas, fair market rents calculated by the 
Department continue to drop, despite increases in rent at the 
local level. The Committee encourages HUD to continue its 
progress toward reforming the process of setting FMRs and 
strongly encourages HUD, to the extent permissible under 
current regulations, to set FMRs at no lower than the previous 
year's level for an FMR area, unless the Department has 
sufficient local data to justify such a change. Upon completion 
of current studies underway to improve FMR estimates, HUD shall 
brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the 
findings, including any lessons related to alternative data 
sources and methods to decrease PHA cost burden. Additionally, 
the Department shall report on the potential impact of 
expanding PHAs' ability to set payment standards from 110 
percent of FMR to 120 percent of FMR if PHAs provide rent 
comparability studies that illustrate HUD-calculated FMRs are 
lower than actual market rates, or of increasing the FMR above 
the 40th percentile of gross rents.
    VAWA Study.--The Committee directs HUD to complete the 
study and report on housing and service needs of survivors of 
trafficking and individuals at risk for trafficking, as 
required by section 606 of the VAWA 2022. HUD is directed to 
submit this study and report to the House and Senate Committees 
on Appropriations not later than September 15, 2023.
    Conversion of Office Buildings to Housing.--The Committee 
strongly encourages PD&R to provide best practices, case 
studies, and other forms of technical assistance, as 
practicable, to help state and local governments to convert 
vacant or unused office building space into residential 
housing.
    Housing Turnover Data.--Timely and consistent metrics are 
important to provide a comprehensive picture of the scale, 
scope, and drivers of turnover in the housing stock, as well as 
to inform potential Federal, State, and local policy decisions. 
Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to identify 
best practices for ways localities collect, analyze, and make 
publicly available data on housing turnover, including 
evictions, foreclosures (property tax foreclosures and mortgage 
foreclosures), and lost housing stock resulting from natural 
disasters and other unforeseen events. The Department is 
further directed to explore how these best practices could 
inform Federal data collection and the development of a 
standardized data set or measure of housing turnover and to 
report to the House and Senate Committee on Appropriations on 
its findings not later than 270 days after enactment of this 
act.

                   Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity


                        FAIR HOUSING ACTIVITIES

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $86,355,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      90,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      86,355,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $86,355,000 
for the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. This 
amount is $3,645,000 less than the budget request and equal to 
the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. Of the amounts provided: 
(1) $26,000,000 is for FHAP; (2) $56,000,000 is for FHIP, 
including not less than $10,400,000 for education and outreach 
programs and not less than $3,700,000 for fair housing 
organization initiatives; (3) $1,355,000 is for the creation, 
promotion, and dissemination of translated materials that 
support the assistance of persons with limited English 
proficiency; and (4) $3,000,000 is for the national fair 
housing training academy.

            Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes


                         LEAD HAZARD REDUCTION

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $410,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     410,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     350,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $350,000,000 
for the lead hazard reduction account, $60,000,000 less than 
the budget request and fiscal year 2023 enacted level. The 
following table summarizes the Committee's recommendation in 
comparison to the budget estimate and the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level:

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

    The reallocations between grant programs account for recent 
application rates and the available carryover balances for each 
activity. During the pandemic, application rates for lead 
hazard reduction grants, particularly from public health 
agencies, dropped. However, the Committee is pleased to see 
that incoming applications are beginning to increase. The 
Committee remains committed to reducing exposures to lead-based 
paint and other residential health hazards, and directs the 
Department to provide the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations with updated reports on all unobligated balances 
for each program following each funding competition award 
announcement.
    Improving the Lead Grant Application Process.--The 
Committee directs HUD to continue to conduct outreach and 
improve the NOFOs to encourage more grantees to apply, 
especially those that may not have access to professional grant 
writers, such as smaller and more rural communities. 
Additionally, HUD shall continue to clearly state in the NOFOs 
that an application may include non-profit co-applicants, 
provided that an eligible city, county/parish, other unit of 
local government, or eligible State or Tribe are identified as 
the lead or co-applicant. Non-profit co-applicants may include 
community development financial institutions who may be 
positioned to accelerate the pace at which low-income 
homeowners and rental property owners can address lead paint 
hazards in high-risk communities.
    Lead Standards and Oversight.--The Committee recognizes 
there are multiple open priority recommendations from GAO 
report 18-394 on lead-based paint hazards in assisted housing, 
HUD OIG report 2023-CH-0001 on oversight of lead-safe housing 
rule requirements, and HUD OIG report 2020-CH-0005 on lead in 
water in multifamily housing. The Committee acknowledges that 
the implementation of NSPIRE and accompanying process 
improvements aim to address these recommendations, and urges 
HUD to coordinate across the Department to ensure its new 
procedures and controls sufficiently address the identified 
gaps. The Committee also directs HUD to continue to coordinate 
with the EPA on: (1) visual inspection protocols, (2) 
inventories of lead service lines, and (3) identifying any 
cross-agency progress made by public water systems in 
eliminating lead service lines at HUD-assisted properties, 
which is a priority under the IIJA. The Committee directs HUD 
to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
within 120 days of enactment of this act on its data sharing 
needs related to lead service lines.
    Lead Risk Assessment.--The Committee directs OLHCHH and PIH 
to jointly engage with PHAs and other stakeholders to 
understand why so few applications were submitted for the lead 
risk assessment demonstration and brief the House and Senate 
Committees on Appropriations on the findings of this engagement 
no later than 270 days after the enactment of this act.
    Aging-in-Place Home Modification Grants.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $30,000,000 within the healthy homes 
initiative for aging-in-place home modification grants in order 
to enable low-income seniors [persons who are 62 years of age 
or older] to remain in their homes through low-cost, high-
impact home modifications. The intended beneficiaries of these 
grants are low-income seniors living in homes that are not 
receiving project-based rental assistance, and HUD shall ensure 
the use of funds appropriated will reflect that intent. In 
designing the NOFO for this program, HUD is directed to 
continue to take into account successful models of low-barrier, 
participant-led, holistic approaches to aging-in-place. The 
Committee continues to direct HUD to track the outcomes of 
seniors whose homes have been modified in order to better 
understand the effectiveness of this funding in reducing at-
home falls, hospitalizations, and emergency response calls, as 
well as improving independence and tenure in home over time.
    Weatherization Assistance Program.--The Committee continues 
to acknowledge the potential time and cost savings to be 
realized from the coordinated execution of the HUD lead-based 
paint hazard control grant program and the DOE's weatherization 
assistance program. HUD is directed to continue collecting 
information on how many units benefit from this coordination 
and quantify how this coordination has reduced costs for 
hardware and labor. HUD is directed to provide this information 
to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations after the 
end of each grant cycle.

    The Committee directs the Department to delineate funding 
for O&M and DME by project in its fiscal year 2024 operating 
plan, and to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the status of infrastructure contract 
transitions upon submission of the operating plan.
    IT Fund Reporting and Oversight.--The Committee directs HUD 
to continue to include sufficient detail in its congressional 
justifications to delineate between funding for O&M and DME, 
which as defined by OMB includes planning, and include plain 
language summaries of proposed DME projects, total costs and 
savings potential, target functionality, estimated timeline, 
and mission benefits associated with the requested amount.
    Quarterly Briefings.--The Committee continues to direct HUD 
to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on 
IT modernization efforts on a quarterly basis. For fiscal year 
2024, such briefings shall address, for each development, 
modernization, and enhancement project to be funded from 
available balances, including carryover: (1) results of the 
prior quarter, including actual expenditures and major 
milestones achieved; (2) any variances in cost, schedule 
(including procurement), or functionality from the previously 
provided project plan, reasons for such variances and estimated 
impact on total lifecycle costs; and (3) risks and mitigation 
strategies associated with ongoing work.
    IT Roadmap.--The Committee urges HUD to expeditiously 
update its enterprise IT roadmap and address the 
recommendations in HUD OIG report 2021-OE-0003. This roadmap is 
critical to informing future IT investment decisions, more 
strategically sequencing modernization efforts, reducing 
duplication and successfully decommissioning costly legacy 
systems and mainframes.

                      Office of Inspector General

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $152,924,000 
for the Office of Inspector General, which is $1,076,000 below 
the budget request and $6,924,000 more than the fiscal year 
2023 enacted level. This funding level is sufficient to sustain 
support for the 520 FTE authorized in fiscal year 2023, as well 
as other adjustments to base funding to maintain current 
services. Another 12 positions are supported through emergency 
designated funding for oversight of the CARES Act and disaster 
relief.
    Audit Reports.--The Committee expects the Office of 
Inspector General to continue providing copies of all audit 
reports to the Committee immediately after they are issued and 
to make the Committee aware immediately of any review which 
recommends significant budgetary savings.
    Contracting Audits of Annual Financial Statements.--Since 
fiscal year 2020, the Committee has required the Office of 
Inspector General to procure and rely upon the services of an 
independent external auditor, or auditors, to audit the 
financial statements of the Department, including the financial 
statements of FHA and Ginnie Mae. The Committee directs the 
Office of the Inspector General to continue to adhere to this 
requirement.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Federal Maritime Commission [FMC] is an independent 
regulatory agency, which administers the Shipping Act of 1984 
(Public Law 98-237), as amended by the Ocean Shipping Reform 
Act of 1998 (Public Law 105-258); section 19 of the Merchant 
Marine Act of 1920 (41 Stat. 998); the Foreign Shipping

and the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 (OSRA 2022, Public 
Law 117-146).
    The FMC's mission is to foster a fair, efficient, and 
reliable international ocean transportation system and to 
protect the public from unfair and deceptive practices. To 
accomplish this mission, the FMC regulates the international 
waterborne commerce of the United States. In addition, the FMC 
has responsibility for licensing and bonding ocean 
transportation intermediaries and for ensuring that vessel 
owners or operators establish financial responsibility to pay 
judgments for death or injury to passengers, or nonperformance

Committee recommendation................................      29,240,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes $29,240,000 for the 
Amtrak Office of Inspector General. This funding level is 
$1,170,000 less than the budget request and $1,305,000 more 
than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. The funding 
recommendation is sufficient to annualize the additional 12 FTE 
provided in fiscal year 2023 for a total of 106 FTE's, as well 
as other non-payroll program costs identified in the fiscal 
year 2024 budget request. The Committee retains language that 
requires the Amtrak Office of Inspector General to submit a 
budget request in similar format and substance to those 
submitted by other executive agencies in the Federal 
Government.

                  National Transportation Safety Board

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $129,300,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     145,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     134,300,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $134,300,000 for the NTSB, which 
is $10,700,000 less than the budget request and $5,000,000 more 
than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. The Committee directs 
the NTSB to continue to provide the compliance report required 
under 49 U.S.C. 1135(e).

                 Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation


          PAYMENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD REINVESTMENT CORPORATION

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $170,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     172,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     170,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $170,000,000 for NeighborWorks 
America, which includes $2,000,000 for the promotion and 
development of shared equity housing models. This total amount 
is $2,000,000 less than the budget request and equal to the 
fiscal year 2023 enacted level. The Committee directs 
NeighborWorks to provide at least three days' advance notice to 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to the 
announcement of any grant exceeding $50,000 that is awarded to 
a NeighborWorks Network organization.
    Rural Areas.--The Committee commends NeighborWorks' efforts 
to build capacity in rural areas and urges NeighborWorks to 
continue those initiatives.
    Multilingual Training Courses.--NeighborWorks is encouraged 
to continue to develop and offer new professional development 
and certification training courses and translated materials to 
meet the needs of the Network and support its work on minority 
homeownership.
    Shared Equity Homeownership.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $2,000,000 for the promotion and development of shared 
equity housing portfolios among its affiliates, of which not 
less than $1,500,000 is for capital grants for affiliates to 
bring new homes into their existing shared equity portfolios. 
When awarding capital grants, the Committee directs 
NeighborWorks to invest in at least one recipient that serves a 
rural area or a city of under 50,000 people that has 
demonstrated success in managing a shared equity portfolio. 
NeighborWorks is directed to work with affiliated organizations 
with extensive experience in offering shared equity 
homeownership opportunities as technical assistance providers.
    Policies and Procedures.--As directed by the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations in the fiscal year 2023 
joint explanatory statement, the GAO reviewed NeighborWorks' 
compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies. 
A report [GAO-23-105944] was published in June 2023 that makes 
10 recommendations to improve procurement practices, conflicts 
of interest, whistleblower policies and procedures, and staff 
training. The Committee is troubled by reports that current and 
former staff have witnessed or experienced retaliation, and 
cite a lack of trust in senior leadership. Retaliation against 
individuals who report waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer 
resources is highly inappropriate and a violation of 
whistleblower protections and laws. If such practices are 
substantiated, the Committee will be forced to re-evaluate a 
direct appropriation with more strict oversight conditions or 
apportionment limitations which would be a most unfortunate 
outcome given the valuable and important work of affiliate 
organizations nationwide. The Committee directs NeighborWorks 
to brief the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations not 
less than annually until all GAO recommendations are closed. 
Such briefings shall also report on the actions the 
organization is taking to assess and rebuild employee and 
congressional trust.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$47,452,000. This funding level is $732,000 less than the 
budget request and $6,023,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 
enacted level. Included in the recommendation is $1,250,000 in 
fees, which will offset the appropriated funding, resulting in 
final appropriation from the general fund estimated at no more 
than $46,202,000. This funding level will accommodate 
adjustments to base, the annualization of the 4 positions 
provided for the Office of Passenger Rail in fiscal year 2023, 
an additional 6 positions for that office in fiscal year 2024 
to fully meet the required hiring objective of the 
authorization, and the non-personnel cost changes as requested.
    Regulatory Proceedings.--There remains a number of pending 
regulatory proceedings that would reform existing regulations 
at the STB. The Committee continues to encourage the STB to 
provide a timely and decisive regulatory process.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

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

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,300,000 for 
USICH. This amount is $500,000 less than the budget request and 
$300,000 more than the fiscal year 2023 enacted level. This 
funding level is sufficient to sustain current staffing levels 
and address other adjustments to maintain current services. The 
Committee reminds USICH of its obligations pursuant to section 
405 of this act, including the need to receive Committee 
approval prior to any reorganization.
    ALL INside.--The Committee directs USICH to brief the House 
and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the ALL INside 
initiative on unsheltered homelessness within 180 days of 
enactment of this act and not less than annually thereafter. 
The briefing shall describe the tailored assistance and 
regulatory flexibilities provided to each of the six sites, the 
risk and benefits of wider application of such flexibilities, 
and the impact of the initiative on local systems.
    Documentation Barriers for People Experiencing 
Homelessness.--USICH's strategic plan seeks to streamline 
eligibility and documentation requirements that can often act 
as a barrier to assistance, especially when individuals access 
assistance across multiple agencies. The Committee directs 
USICH to brief the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the progress of these efforts within 60 days 
of enactment of this act and 180 days thereafter on the actions 
taken. The Committee is also aware that GAO will be conducting 
a study on barriers persons experiencing homelessness or 
housing instability encounter in obtaining or replacing state-
issued identification and steps Federal agencies could take to 
mitigate those barriers. The Committee is content to see this 
study is underway and encourages GAO to study barriers related 
to essential personal documents and state-issued identification 
that people experiencing homelessness face to obtain housing 
and include the USICH and HUD in its study. The Committee also 
encourages GAO to provide recommendations on related 
administrative actions and policy changes.
    Youth Homelessness.--The Committee directs USICH to place a 
greater consideration on the potential impacts of Federal 
policies on children and youth experiencing homelessness and 
those at-risk of becoming homeless. The Committee directs USICH 
to work with Federal entities and communities to support best 
practices in identifying, reporting, and coordinating across 
local systems to address the needs of homeless children and 
youth across all Federal definitions of homelessness. The 
Committee also supports USICH's work in supporting communities 
through trauma-informed care across services to promote housing 
stability.
    Implementation of Best Practices.--To prevent USICH from 
misusing Federal funds through sharing inaccurate or misleading 
data with Federal partners, community practitioners, and other 
stakeholders, the Committee continues to direct USICH to ensure 
best practices and evidence-based conclusions are central to 
any technical assistance and recommendations released by the 
agency.

Treaty and the U.S. law.
    Section 419 prohibits funds made available by this act to

                    Rental Assistance Demonstration

    To conduct a demonstration designed to preserve and improve 
public housing and certain other multifamily housing through 
the voluntary conversion of properties with assistance under 
section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, 
(hereinafter, ``the Act''), or the moderate rehabilitation 
program under section 8(e)(2) of the Act, to properties with 
assistance under a project-based subsidy contract under section 
8 of the Act, which shall be eligible for renewal under section 
524 of the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and 
Affordability Act of 1997, or assistance under section 8(o)(13) 
of the Act, the Secretary may transfer amounts provided through 
contracts under section 8(e)(2) of the Act or under the 
headings ``Public Housing Capital Fund'' [and ``Public Housing 
Operating Fund''] , ``Public Housing Operating Fund'', and 
``Public Housing Fund'' to the headings ``Tenant-Based Rental 
Assistance'' or ``Project-Based Rental Assistance'' (herein the 
``First Component''): Provided, That the initial long-term 
contract under which converted assistance is made available may 
allow for rental adjustments only by an operating cost factor 
established by the Secretary, and shall be subject to the 
availability of appropriations for each year of such term: 
Provided further, That project applications may be received 
under this demonstration until September 30, [2024] 2030: 
Provided further, That any increase in cost for ``Tenant-Based 
Rental Assistance'' or ``Project-Based Rental Assistance'' 
associated with such conversion in excess of amounts made 
available under this heading shall be equal to amounts 
transferred from ``Public Housing Capital Fund'' and ``Public 
Housing Operating Fund'' or other account from which it was 
transferred: [Provided further, That not more than 455,000 
units currently receiving assistance under section 9 or section 
8(e)(2) of the Act shall be converted under the authority 
provided under this heading:] Provided further, That at 
properties with assistance under section 9 of the Act 
requesting to partially convert such assistance, and where an 
event under section 18 of the Act occurs that results in the 
eligibility for tenant protection vouchers under section 8(o) 
of the Act, the Secretary may convert the tenant protection 
voucher assistance to assistance under a project-based subsidy 
contract under section 8 of the Act, which shall be eligible 
for renewal under section 524 of the Multifamily Assisted 
Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997, or assistance 
under section 8(o)(13) of the Act, so long as the property 
meets any additional requirements established by the Secretary 
to facilitate conversion: Provided further, That to facilitate 
the conversion of assistance under the previous proviso, the 
Secretary may transfer an amount equal to the total amount that 
would have been allocated for tenant protection voucher 
assistance for properties that have requested such conversions 
from amounts made available for tenant protection voucher 
assistance under the heading ``Tenant-Based Rental Assistance'' 
to the heading ``Project-Based Rental Assistance'': Provided 
further, That at properties with assistance previously 
converted hereunder to assistance under the heading ``Project 
Based Rental Assistance,'' which are also separately assisted 
under section 8(o)(13) of the Act, the Secretary may, with the 
consent of the public housing agency and owner, terminate such 
project-based subsidy contracts and immediately enter into one 
new project-based subsidy contract under section 8 of the Act, 
which shall be eligible for renewal under section 524 of the 
Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 
1997, subject to the requirement that any residents assisted 
under section 8(o)(13) of the Act at the time of such 
termination of such project-based subsidy contract shall retain 
all rights accrued under section 8(o)(13)(E) of the Act under 
the new project-based subsidy contract and section 
8(o)(13)(F)(iv) of the Act shall not apply: Provided further, 
That to carry out the previous proviso, the Secretary may 
transfer from the heading ``Tenant-Based Rental Assistance'' to 
the heading ``Project-Based Rental Assistance'' an amount equal 
to the amounts associated with such terminating contract under 
section 8(o)(13) of the Act: Provided further, That tenants of 
such properties with assistance converted from assistance under 
section 9 shall, at a minimum, maintain the same rights under 
such conversion as those provided under sections 6 and 9 of the 
Act: Provided further, That the Secretary shall select 
properties from applications for conversion as part of this 
demonstration through a competitive process: Provided further, 
That in establishing criteria for such competition, the 
Secretary shall seek to demonstrate the feasibility of this 
conversion model to recapitalize and operate public housing 
properties (1) in different markets and geographic areas, (2) 
within portfolios managed by public housing agencies of varying 
sizes, and (3) by leveraging other sources of funding to 
recapitalize properties: Provided further, That the Secretary 
shall provide an opportunity for public comment on draft 
eligibility and selection criteria and procedures that will 
apply to the selection of properties that will participate in 
the demonstration: Provided further, That the Secretary shall 
provide an opportunity for comment from residents of properties 
to be proposed for participation in the demonstration to the 
owners or public housing agencies responsible for such 
properties: Provided further, That the Secretary may waive or 
specify alternative requirements for (except for requirements 
related to fair housing, nondiscrimination, labor standards, 
and the environment) any provision of section 8(o)(13) or any 
provision that governs the use of assistance from which a 
property is converted under the demonstration or funds made 
available under the headings of ``Public Housing Capital 
Fund'', ``Public Housing Operating Fund'', ``Public Housing 
Fund'', ``Self-Sufficiency Programs'', ``Family Self-
Sufficiency'' and ``Project-Based Rental Assistance'', under 
this Act or any prior Act or any Act enacted during the period 
of conversion of assistance under the demonstration for 
properties with assistance converted under the demonstration, 
upon a finding by the Secretary that any such waivers or 
alternative requirements are necessary for the effective 
conversion of assistance under the demonstration or the ongoing 
availability of services for residents: Provided further, That 
the Secretary shall publish by notice in the Federal Register 
any waivers or alternative requirements pursuant to the 
previous proviso no later than 10 days before the effective 
date of such notice: Provided further, That the demonstration 
may proceed after the Secretary publishes notice of its terms 
in the Federal Register: Provided further, That notwithstanding 
sections 3 and 16 of the Act, the conversion of assistance 
under the demonstration shall not be the basis for re-screening 
or termination of assistance or eviction of any tenant family 
in a property participating in the demonstration, and such a 
family shall not be considered a new admission for any purpose, 
including compliance with income targeting requirements: 
Provided further, That in the case of a property with 
assistance converted under the demonstration from assistance 
under section 9 of the Act, section 18 of the Act shall not 
apply to a property converting assistance under the 
demonstration for all or substantially all of its units, the 
Secretary shall require ownership or control of assisted units 
by a public or nonprofit entity except as determined by the 
Secretary to be necessary pursuant to foreclosure, bankruptcy, 
or termination and transfer of assistance for material 
violations or substantial default, in which case the priority 
for ownership or control shall be provided to a capable public 
or nonprofit entity, then a capable entity, as determined by 
the Secretary, shall require long-term renewable use and 
affordability restrictions for assisted units, and may allow 
ownership to be transferred to a for-profit entity to 
facilitate the use of tax credits only if the public housing 
agency or a nonprofit entity preserves an interest in the 
property in a manner approved by the Secretary, and upon 
expiration of the initial contract and each renewal contract, 
the Secretary shall offer and the owner of the property shall 
accept renewal of the contract subject to the terms and 
conditions applicable at the time of renewal and the 
availability of appropriations each year of such renewal: 
Provided further, That the Secretary may permit transfer of 
assistance at or after conversion under the demonstration to 
replacement units subject to the requirements in the previous 
proviso: Provided further, That the Secretary may establish the 
requirements for converted assistance under the demonstration 
through contracts, use agreements, regulations, or other means: 
Provided further, That the Secretary shall assess and publish 
findings regarding the impact of the conversion of assistance 
under the demonstration on the preservation and improvement of 
public housing, the amount of private sector leveraging as a 
result of such conversion, and the effect of such conversion on 
tenants: Provided further, That conversions of assistance under 
the following provisos herein shall be considered as the 
``Second Component'' and shall be authorized for fiscal year 
2012 and thereafter: Provided further, That owners of 
properties assisted under section 101 of the Housing and Urban 
Development Act of 1965, section 236(f)(2) of the National 
Housing Act, or section 8(e)(2) of the United States Housing 
Act of 1937, for which an event after October 1, 2006 has 
caused or results in the termination of rental assistance or 
affordability restrictions and the issuance of tenant 
protection vouchers under section 8(o) of the Act shall be 
eligible, subject to requirements established by the Secretary, 
for conversion of assistance available for such vouchers or 
assistance contracts to assistance under a long term project-
based subsidy contract under section 8 of the Act: Provided 
further, That owners of properties with a project rental 
assistance contract under section 202(c)(2) of the Housing Act 
of 1959 shall be eligible, subject to requirements established 
by the Secretary, including but not limited to the 
subordination, restructuring, or both, of any capital advance 
documentation, including any note, mortgage, use agreement or 
other agreements, evidencing or securing a capital advance 
previously provided by the Secretary under section 202(c)(1) of 
the Housing Act of 1959 as necessary to facilitate the 
conversion of assistance while maintaining the affordability 
period and the designation of the property as serving elderly 
persons, and tenant consultation procedures, for conversion of 
assistance available for such assistance contracts to 
assistance under a long term project-based subsidy contract 
under section 8 of the Act: Provided further, That owners of 
properties with a senior preservation rental assistance 
contract under section 811 of the American Homeownership and 
Economic Opportunity Act of 2000 (12 U.S.C. 1701q note), shall 
be eligible, subject to requirements established by the 
Secretary as necessary to facilitate the conversion of 
assistance while maintaining the affordability period and the 
designation of the property as serving elderly families, and 
tenant consultation procedures, for conversion of assistance 
available for such assistance contracts to assistance under a 
long-term project-based subsidy contract under section 8 of the 
Act: Provided further, That owners of properties with a project 
rental assistance contract under section 811(d)(2) of the 
Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, shall be 
eligible, subject to requirements established by the Secretary, 
including but not limited to the subordination, restructuring, 
or both, of any capital advance documentation, including any 
note, mortgage, use agreement or other agreements, evidencing 
or securing a capital advance previously provided by the 
Secretary under section 811(d)(2) of the Cranston-Gonzalez 
National Affordable Housing Act as necessary to facilitate the 
conversion of assistance while maintaining the affordability 
period and the designation of the property as serving persons 
with disabilities, and tenant consultation procedures, for 
conversion of assistance contracts to assistance under a long 
term project-based subsidy contract under section 8 of the Act: 
Provided further, That long term project-based subsidy 
contracts under section 8 of the Act which are established 
under this Second Component shall have a term of no less than 
20 years, with rent adjustments only by an operating cost 
factor established by the Secretary, which shall be eligible 
for renewal under section 524 of the Multifamily Assisted 
Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (42 U.S.C. 1437f 
note), or, subject to agreement of the administering public 
housing agency, to assistance under section 8(o)(13) of the

8(o)(13) of the Act shall not apply and for which the Secretary 
may waive or alter the provisions of subparagraphs (C) and (D) 
of section 8(o)(13) of the Act: Provided further, That 
contracts provided to properties converting assistance from 
section 101 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965 or 
section 236(f)(2) of the National Housing Act located in high-
cost areas shall have initial rents set at comparable market

section 811 of the American Homeownership and Economic 
Opportunity Act of 2000, or section 811(d)(2) of the Cranston-
Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act as necessary to ensure 
the ongoing provision and coordination of services or to avoid 
a reduction in project subsidy: Provided further, That 
conversions of assistance under the Second Component may not be

eviction of any tenant family in a property participating in 
the demonstration and such a family shall not be considered a 
new admission for any purpose, including compliance with income 
targeting: Provided further, That amounts made available under
