and 24 (who are low-income and either homeless, in foster care,
involved in the juvenile justice system, unemployed, or not
enrolled in or at risk of dropping out of an educational
institution) achieve success in meeting educational, employment,
or other key goals.
(3) The ``lead Federal administering agency'' is the Federal
agency, to be designated by the Director of the Office of
Management and Budget (from among the participating Federal
agencies that have statutory responsibility for the Federal
discretionary funds that will be used in a Performance
Partnership Pilot), that will enter into and administer the
particular Performance Partnership Agreement on behalf of that
agency and the other participating Federal agencies.
(b) Use of Discretionary Funds in Fiscal Year 2014.--Federal
agencies may use Federal discretionary funds that are made available in
this Act to carry out up to 10 Performance Partnership Pilots. Such
Pilots shall:
(1) be designed to improve outcomes for disconnected youth,
and

or designed to prevent youth from disconnecting from school or
work, that provide education, training, employment, and other
related social services.
(c) Performance Partnership Agreements.--Federal agencies may use

participate in a Performance Partnership Pilot only in accordance with
the terms of a Performance Partnership Agreement that--

agency, on behalf of all of the participating Federal
agencies (subject to the head of the lead Federal
administering agency having received from the heads of
each of the other participating agencies their written

oversight procedures that will be used for the purpose
of maintaining the necessary level of accountability for
the use of the Federal discretionary funds;
(I) the outcome (or outcomes) that the Pilot is
designed to achieve;
(J) the appropriate, reliable, and objective
outcome-measurement methodology that the Federal
Government and the participating State, local, or tribal
governments will use, in carrying out the Pilot, to
determine whether the Pilot is achieving, and has
achieved, the specified outcomes that the Pilot is
designed to achieve;
(K) the statutory, regulatory, or administrative
requirements related to Federal mandatory programs that
are barriers to achieving improved outcomes of the
Pilot; and
(L) in cases where, during the course of the Pilot,
it is determined that the Pilot is not achieving the
specified outcomes that it is designed to achieve,

such deficiencies with respect to the Federal
discretionary funds that are being used in the
Pilot, and
(ii) the corrective actions that will be taken
in order to increase the likelihood that the
Pilot, upon completion, will have achieved such
specified outcomes.
(d) Agency Head Determinations.--A Federal agency may participate in
a Performance Partnership Pilot (including by providing Federal
discretionary funds that have been appropriated to such agency) only
upon the written determination by the head of such agency that the
agency's participation in such Pilot--
(1) will not result in denying or restricting the
eligibility of any individual for any of the services that (in
whole or in part) are funded by the agency's programs and
Federal discretionary funds that are involved in the Pilot, and
(2) based on the best available information, will not
otherwise adversely affect vulnerable populations that are the
recipients of such services.
In making this determination, the head of the agency may take into
consideration the other Federal discretionary funds that will be used in
the Pilot as well as any non-Federal funds (including from private
sources as well as governmental sources) that will be used in the Pilot.
(e) Transfer Authority.--For the purpose of carrying out the Pilot
in accordance with the Performance Partnership Agreement, and subject to
the written approval of the Director of the
[[Page 416]]
Office of Management and Budget, the head of each participating Federal
agency may transfer Federal discretionary funds that are being used in
the Pilot to an account of the lead Federal administering agency that
includes Federal discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot.
Subject to the waiver authority under subsection (f), such transferred
funds shall remain available for the same purposes for which such funds
were originally appropriated: Provided, That such transferred funds
shall remain available for obligation by the Federal Government until
the expiration of the period of availability for those Federal
discretionary funds (which are being used in the Pilot) that have the
longest period of availability, except that any such transferred funds
shall not remain available beyond September 30, 2018.
(f) Waiver Authority.--In connection with a Federal agency's
participation in a Performance Partnership Pilot, and subject to the
other provisions of this section (including subsection (e)), the head of
the Federal agency to which the Federal discretionary funds were
appropriated may waive (in whole or in part) the application, solely to
such discretionary funds that are being used in the Pilot, of any
statutory, regulatory, or administrative requirement that such agency
head--
(1) is otherwise authorized to waive (in accordance with the
terms and conditions of such other authority), and
(2) is not otherwise authorized to waive, provided that in
such case the agency head shall--
(A) not waive any requirement related to
nondiscrimination, wage and labor standards, or
allocation of funds to State and substate levels;
(B) issue a written determination, prior to granting
the waiver, with respect to such discretionary funds
that the granting of such waiver for purposes of the
Pilot--
(i) is consistent with both--
(I) the statutory purposes of the
Federal program for which such
discretionary funds were appropriated,
and
(II) the other provisions of this
section, including the written
determination by the agency head issued
under subsection (d);
(ii) is necessary to achieve the outcomes of
the Pilot as specified in the Performance
Partnership Agreement, and is no broader in scope
than is necessary to achieve such outcomes; and
(iii) will result in either--
(I) realizing efficiencies by
simplifying reporting burdens or
reducing administrative barriers with
respect to such discretionary funds, or
(II) increasing the ability of
individuals to obtain access to services
that are provided by such discretionary
funds; and
(C) provide at least 60 days advance written notice
to the Committees on Appropriations and other committees
of jurisdiction in the House of Representatives and the
Senate.
Sec. 527. Each Federal agency, or in the case of an agency with
multiple bureaus, each bureau (or operating division) funded under this
Act that has research and development expenditures
[[Page 417]]
in excess of $100,000,000 per year shall develop a Federal research
public access policy that provides for--
(1) the submission to the agency, agency bureau, or
designated entity acting on behalf of the agency, a machine-
readable version of the author's final peer-reviewed manuscripts
that have been accepted for publication in peer-reviewed
journals describing research supported, in whole or in part,
from funding by the Federal Government;
(2) free online public access to such final peer-reviewed
manuscripts or published versions not later than 12 months after
the official date of publication; and
(3) compliance with all relevant copyright laws.

used to maintain or establish a computer network unless such network
blocks the viewing, downloading, and exchanging of pornography.

other entity carrying out criminal investigations, prosecution, or
adjudication activities.

the default and foreclosure of mortgages of owner-occupied
single-family homes that are at risk of such foreclosure. Other
than areas with high rates of defaults and foreclosures, grants

risky and likely to fail, including any trends for mortgages
that are likely to default and face foreclosure. A State Housing

made available to homeowners of owner-occupied homes with
mortgages in default or in danger of default. These mortgages
shall likely be subject to a foreclosure action and homeowners
will be provided such assistance that shall consist of
activities that are likely to prevent foreclosures and result in
the long-term affordability of the mortgage retained pursuant to
such activity or another positive outcome for the homeowner. No
funds made available under this paragraph may be provided
directly to lenders or homeowners to discharge outstanding
mortgage balances or for any other direct debt reduction
payments.
(3) The use of mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance by
approved counseling intermediaries and State Housing Finance
Agencies shall involve a reasonable analysis of the borrower's
financial situation, an evaluation of the current value of the
property that is subject to the mortgage, counseling regarding
the assumption of the mortgage by another non-Federal party,
counseling regarding the possible purchase of the mortgage by a
non-Federal third party, counseling and advice of all likely
restructuring and refinancing strategies or the approval of a
work-out strategy by all interested parties.
(4) NRC may provide up to 15 percent of the total funds
under this paragraph to its own charter members with expertise
in foreclosure prevention counseling, subject to a certification
by the NRC that the procedures for selection do not consist of
any procedures or activities that could be construed as an
unacceptable conflict of interest or have the appearance of
impropriety.
(5) HUD-approved counseling entities and State Housing
Finance Agencies receiving funds under this paragraph shall have
demonstrated experience in successfully working with financial
institutions as well as borrowers facing default, delinquency
and foreclosure as well as documented counseling capacity,
outreach capacity, past successful performance and positive
outcomes with documented counseling plans (including post
mortgage foreclosure mitigation counseling), loan workout
agreements and loan modification agreements. NRC may use other
criteria to demonstrate capacity in underserved areas.
(6) Of the total amount made available under this paragraph,
up to $3,000,000 may be made available to build the mortgage
foreclosure and default mitigation counseling capacity of
counseling intermediaries through NRC training courses with HUD-
approved counseling intermediaries and their partners, except
that private financial institutions that participate in NRC
training shall pay market rates for such training.

up to 5 percent may be used for associated administrative
expenses for the NRC to carry out activities provided under this
section.
(8) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance grants may
include a budget for outreach and advertising, and training, as
determined by the NRC.
(9) The NRC shall continue to report bi-annually to the
House and Senate Committees on Appropriations as well as
[[Page 640]]

Committee on its efforts to mitigate mortgage default.
