Economic Development Assistance Programs economic development assistance programsFor grants for economic development assistance as provided by the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, and for trade adjustment assistance, $255,000,000 $246,000,000, to remain available until expended. (Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 2010.) Economic Development Assistance Programs (EDAP)-EDA investments are focused in seven broad development assistance programs, which include: Economic Adjustment Assistance, Planning, Technical Assistance, Public Works and Economic Development, Research and Evaluation, Trade Adjustment Assistance, and the Global Climate Change Mitigation Incentive Fund. EDA provides grants within each of these areas to generate or retain jobs, attract new industry and private sector investment, encourage business expansion, and serve as a backstop to sudden and severe economic impacts. These investments assist communities characterized by substantial and persistent unemployment levels, low income and population growth, loss of jobs, out-migration, and long-term economic deterioration. EDA works in partnership with other Federal agencies, state and local governments, regional economic development districts, public and private non-profit organizations, Native American Indian Tribes, and Alaska Native Villages to accomplish its mission. In 2011, EDA will put special emphasis on the development and implementation of regional innovation clusters (RIC) that leverage regions' existing competitive strengths to boost job creation; economic growth; and encourage entrepreneurial activity in economically distressed areas and regions. The RIC initiative will be achieved through a two-pronged process: 1) mapping/identification of clusters nationwide and characteristics of successful clusters; and 2) a national grants program that supports and strengthens clusters to promote economic development and job creation. As part of the RIC initiative efforts will be taken to link business incubators into a strong network that is able to support job creation and business development. EDA expects the RIC initiative will receive at least $75 million in funding.A detailed presentation of EDA's performance outcomes, measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2011 budget submission.

salaries and expensesFor expenses necessary for collecting, compiling, analyzing, preparing, and publishing statistics, provided for by law, $259,024,000 $280,364,000. (Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 2010.) The activities of this appropriation provide for the collection, compilation, and publication of a broad range of current economic, demographic, and social statistics. Current economic statisticsThese programs provide public and private sector data users with relevant, accurate, and timely national statistical profiles of every sector of the U.S. economy. Current demographic statisticsThese programs provide social and economic information on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis to inform effective public and private decision-making. The 2011 request includes a $5 million program initiative to allow the Census Bureau to expand its research and production capacities, and work in coordination with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to supplement the official poverty measures with annual, alternative measures of poverty from the Current Poplulation Survey.Survey Development and Data ServicesT he Budget includes a $9 million initiative to enhance the ability of the Federal statistical system to utilize administrative records. The Census Bureau will expand its administrative records infrastructure to support various cross-cutting administrative records initiatives, including a 2010 Census simulation and a health pilot project involving the National Center for Health Statistics. These pilot projects are designed to address existing barriers to more complete use of administrative data while at the same time contributing substantive topical knowledge in critical fields.Survey of program dynamicsThis program is supported by mandatory appropriations provided by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996, as reauthorized by the 109th Congress, to provide data necessary to determine the impact of welfare provisions. State children's health insurance program (SCHIP)Mandatory appropriations provided by the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance Program Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999, as reauthorized by the 111th Congress, support data collection by the Current Population Survey (CPS) on the number of low-income children who do not have health insurance coverage. Data from this enhanced survey are used in the formula to allocate funds to States under the SCHIP program.Performance measures and program informationA detailed presentation and description of each program, its performance outcome and related measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2011 budget submission.

Periodic Censuses and Programs periodic censuses and programsFor necessary expenses to collect and publish statistics for periodic censuses and programs provided for by law, $7,065,707,000, of which $100,000,000 shall be derived from available unobligated balances previously appropriated under this heading $986,359,400, to remain available until September 30, 2011 2012: Provided, That none of the funds provided in this or any other Act for any fiscal year may be used for the collection of census data on race identification that does not include "some other race'' as a category: Provided further, That from amounts provided herein, funds may be used for additional promotion, outreach, and marketing activities. (Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 2010.) This appropriation funds legislatively mandated periodic economic and demographic censuses and other authorized activities. Major programs include the five-year economic census and census of governments, and the decennial census. In addition, other programs provide annual population estimates, updated survey sample designs, and bureau-wide geographic and data processing systems and support.The economic census is integral to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimates of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and industry inputs and outputs. It provides decision-makers with comprehensive, detailed, and authoritative facts about the structure and functioning of the U.S. economy. 2011 is the second year of the 2012 Economic Census cycle. In 2011, the Census Bureau will focus on determining the content of the census, developing electronic and other data collection methods and processing systems, procuring hardware and equipment necessary to process returns, releasing the remaining data from the 2007 Economic Census, and beginning initial design of products for the 2012 Economic Census.This program is also integral to the BEA's estimates of GDP. It is the only source of comprehensive and uniformly classified data on the economic activities of more than 90,000 state and local governments, which account for about 12 percent of GDP and nearly 16 percent of the U.S. workforce. 2011 is the second year in the five-year cycle of the 2012 Census of Governments. 2010 decennial census programAs mandated in the U.S. Constitution, the decennial census provides the official population counts for determining the allocation to States of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and the data used by States to determine how the districts are defined for those seats. In 2011, the Census Bureau will compile and deliver state-level population totals for apportionment for House seats by the legal deadline of December 31, 2010. Based on plans developed by each state, the Census Bureau will process, tabulate, and disseminate census data below the state-level for use in redistricting efforts by the legal deadline of March 31, 2011, as well as begin to provide data used for the distribution of federal funds and other purposes. The 2011 Budget requests an additional $44 million to improve the reliability and accuracy of the American Community Survey (ACS), the replacement for the decennial long-form. 2011 funds will begin a process to increase the annual sample to 2.5 percent of the population (from 2.9 million to 3.5 million housing units) to improve the reliability of the ACS estimates at the tract level. The increase will also allow the Census Bureau to enhance field and telephone center data collection, conduct a 100 percent non-response follow-up operation in Remote Alaska and small American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian Homeland areas, and provide additional resources for the full review of 3-year and 5-year data.The request includes a $26 million program initiative to support improved address coverage, preparation for a mid-decade statistical boundary review and delineation, continual update of road and other spatial data, and enhanced quality measures of Census Bureau geographic programs. These efforts are expected to provide an up-to-date address list and correct geographic area boundaries throughout the decade, increase the efficiency of field staff working on ongoing surveys, and allow the Census Bureau to pursue a targeted address canvassing operation (as opposed to a 100 percent operation) for the 2020 Census. Performance measures and program informationA detailed presentation and description of each program, its performance outcome and related measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2011 budget submission.

Economic and Statistical Analysis salaries and expensesFor necessary expenses, as authorized by law, of economic and statistical analysis programs of the Department of Commerce, $97,255,000 $113,200,000, to remain available until September 30, 2011 2012, including not to exceed $2,000 for official entertainment. (Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 2010.) Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).|95|BEA's mission is to promote the understanding of the U.S. economy by providing the most timely, relevant, and accurate economic accounts data in an objective and cost-effective manner. BEA's economic statistics are among the Nation's most closely watched and provide a comprehensive picture of the U.S. economy; they affect decisions related to interest and exchange rates, tax and budget projections, business investment plans, and the allocation of over $200 billion in federal funds. BEA prepares national, regional, industry and international accounts that present essential information on such issues as economic growth, regional economic development, inter-industry relationships and the Nation's position in the world economy. The 2011 Budget proposes four initiatives to significantly improve BEA's measurement of the U.S. economy. A New Economic Dashboard.|95|To maximize the Government's ability to provide detailed economic information at the right time, BEA will expand the statistical coverage of the business and government sectors and develop new data series that will better serve the statistical and regulatory communities. Specifically, BEA proposes new measures of GDP-by-Industry on a quarterly basis (currently only available on an annual basis) as well as new detail and breakouts of the business sector, with an emphasis on small businesses. These new data series will provide far greater tools than currently exist for analysts, policy-makers, and regulators . Everyday Economics: The American Household.|95|BEA proposes publishing a new suite of measures of household income, expenses, debt, and savings. This indicator suite will provide critical tools necessary to identify signs of weakness in the future.Energy's Economic Impact.|95|BEA will extend the economic accounts to include new and expanded measures of energy usage in the U.S. economy. More accurate, comprehensive, and integrated measures for the energy sector are critical; such data are essential for developing a comprehensive U.S. energy policy built on accurate forecasts of energy supply and consumption and for identifying infrastructure enhancements that will improve the domestic supply chain for energy goods and services.Restoring and Improving Foreign Direct Investment Statistics.|95|Foreign direct investment in the United States and U.S. direct investment abroad affect domestic income, output, employment, and capital formation. BEA eliminated certain foreign direct investment statistics in 2008 as a result of enacted budget constraints. The initiative will allow BEA to restore the discontinued statistics, re-examine the coverage and detail of the data that it collects on multinational corporations, redesign surveys to maximize their efficiency, and improve the quantity and usefulness of the resulting data. Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) Policy support.|95|ESA headquarters conducts economic research and policy analysis directly in support of the Secretary of Commerce. ESA also provides oversight of the Census Bureau and BEA. In addition, ESA provides economic and statistical data and analyses to other Federal agencies, individuals, and firms requesting such information through reimbursable funding. The Census Bureau and BEA reimburse ESA headquarters for certain administrative, financial, and policy services. Performance measures and program information.|95|A detailed presentation and description of each program, and related performance outcomes, measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2011 budget submission.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13-1500-0-1-3762009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO The Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004 (PL 108-429) mandated grants to manufacturers of worsted wool products who were in business in calendar years 1999, 2000, and 2001, in order to help them adjust to changes in trade law. The program now provides a yearly subsidy to a small number of firms in the worsted wool manufacturing industry, allocated through a six-year-old formula according to each company's share of the relevant market in 1999, 2000, and 2001. Eligible manufacturers have already received approximately $25 million in subsidies over the past five years to invest in the productivity improvements necessary to counter increased foreign competition. The program was originally slated to expire in 2007, but has been extended multiple times, and now legislatively is slated to sunset at the end of 2014. Worsted wool manufacturers have had almost a decade to adjust to the new policies. Continued adjustment subsidies are not warranted and the Budget proposes to terminate the program in 2011. Eliminating the program will save taxpayers approximately $5 million annually. Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13-5521-4-2-3762009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

(Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 2010.) The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment and to conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation's economic, social, and environmental needs.NOAA executes activities to achieve its mission through the following six line offices:National Ocean Service (NOS)NOS programs work to promote safe navigation; assess the health of coastal and marine resources and respond to natural and human-induced threats; and preserve the coastal ocean environment. The Budget increases funding in support of Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning, Preparing Coastal Communites for Climate Hazards, and Regional Ocean Partnerships. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)NMFS programs provide for the management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources including fish stocks, marine mammals, and endangered species and their habitats within the United States Exclusive Economic Zone. The Budget continues to support the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act through increased funding to rebuild, recover, and conserve major fish stocks and protected species, promote market-based management approaches, reduce bycatch of protected living marine resources, and discourage illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing. The Budget also creates a National Catch Share Program to assist fisheries considering this management system.Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR)OAR programs provide environmental research and technology for improving NOAA weather and air quality warnings and forecasts, climate predictions, and marine services. To accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of scientists in its Federal research laboratories, universities, and cooperative institutes and partnership programs. The Budget provides increased support for all aspects of NOAA's climate programs including observations, modeling, data management, impact assessments, and decision support tools. National Weather Service (NWS)NWS programs provide timely and accurate meterorological, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings and forecasts to ensure the safety of the population, minimize property losses, and improve the economic productivity of the Nation. NWS is also responsible for issuing operational climate forecasts for the United States, which are used by agriculture and other industries. The Budget provides increases for IT security improvements to the National Critical Space Weather System and forecasts of aviation weather.National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS)NESDIS programs operate polar-orbiting and geostationary environmental satellites and collect and archive global environmental data and information for distribution to private and public sector users. Program Support provides management and administrative support for NOAA, including acquisition and grant administration, budget, accounting functions, and human resources. Through the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO), it provides aircraft and marine data acquisition fleet repair and maintenance, planning of future fleet modernization, and technical and management support for NOAA-wide activities.Foreign Fishing Observer FundThe Foreign Fishing Observer Fund is financed through fees collected from owners and operators of foreign fishing vessels fishing within the U.S. EEZ (such fishing requires a permit issued under the Magnuson-Stevens Act). This includes longline vessels fishing in the Atlantic billfish and shark fishery and other foreign vessels fishing in the EEZ. The fund is used by NOAA to pay salaries, administrative costs, data editing and entry costs, and other costs incurred in placing observers aboard foreign fishing vessels. The observer program is conducted primarily through contracts with the private sector. NOAA/NMFS places these observers aboard foreign fishing vessels to monitor compliance with U.S. fishery laws and to collect fishery management data. Amounts available in the fund can be disbursed only to the extent and in amounts provided in appropriation acts. In 1985 Congress approved the establishment of a supplemental observer program. The program provided that foreign vessels without federally funded observers are required to obtain the services of private contractors certified by the Secretary of Commerce.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13-1450-0-1-3062009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Coastal Zone Management Fund coastal zone management fund(including transfer of funds)Of amounts collected pursuant to section 308 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1456a), not to exceed $3,000,000 shall be transferred to the "Operations, Research, and Facilities'' account to offset the costs of implementing such Act. (Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 2010.) This fund consists of loan repayments from the former Coastal Energy Impact Program. Loans under this program were made prior to 1992, but balances were not transferred to the General Fund in accordance with the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA), even though the account effectively serves as a liquidating account. To resolve this inconsistency, the Budget proposes to cancel all balances in the Coastal Zone Management Fund, make future payments to the Fund subject to FCRA, and eliminate the annual transfer from this account to the Operations, Research, and Facilities account. The display below includes reporting information consistent with all other credit liquidating accounts.

Fisheries Finance Program Account fisheries finance program accountSubject to section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, during fiscal year 2010 2011, obligations of direct loans may not exceed $16,000,000 $12,000,000 for Individual Fishing Quota loans and not to exceed $59,000,000 for traditional direct loans as authorized by the Merchant Marine Act of 1936: Provided, That none of the funds made available under this heading may be used for direct loans for any new fishing vessel that will increase the harvesting capacity in any United States fishery. (Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Fisheries Finance Program (FFP) is a national loan program that makes long-term fixed-rate financing available to U.S. citizens who otherwise qualify for financing or refinancing of the construction, reconstruction, reconditioning, and, in some cases, the purchasing of fishing vessels, shoreside processing, aquaculture, and mariculture facilities. The FFP also provides fishery-wide financing to ease the transition to sustainable fisheries through its fishing capacity reduction programs and provides financial assistance in the form of loans to fishermen who fish from small vessels and entry-level fishermen to promote stability and reduce consolidation in already rationalized fisheries. Additionally, FFP can provide loans for fisheries investments of Native American Community Development Quota groups. The FFP operates under the authority of Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended; Section 303(a) of the Sustainable Fisheries Act amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Act; and, from time to time FFP-specific legislation. The overriding guideline for all FFP financings is that they cannot contribute or be construed to contribute to an increase in existing fishing capacity.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issues patents and registers trademarks, which provide protection to inventors and businesses for their inventions and corporate and product identifications. USPTO also advises other U.S. government agencies on intellectual property issues and promotes stronger intellectual property protections in other countries. USPTO is funded through fees that are paid to obtain and renew patents and trademarks. The 2011 Budget requests a program level of $2.3 billion for USPTO and full access for the agency to its fee collections. Legislation restructuring and increasing patent fees was enacted for 2005 and 2006 and subsequently extended through 2010. The Budget requests an extension of these provisions in 2011, along with a surcharge on Patent fees to provide additional resources to decrease the current backlog of patent applications and increase the efficiency of the USPTO processes. Requested increases in fuding for 2011 will be used to hire additional patent examiners, continue improvements to USPTO's information technology infrastructure , and improve intellectual property protections worldwide. The 2011 Budget supports improvements to infomration technology to enhance trademark application processes .

(Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 2010.) The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is the principal Executive Branch adviser on domestic and international telecommunications policy. NTIA manages the Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and performs extensive research in telecommunication sciences. In 2011, a primary focus of NTIA's activities will be on spectrum reform. Specifically, NTIA will examine spectrum sharing approaches to identify the techniques that can provide the most efficient and effective sharing of the radio spectrum through the use of intelligent radios. This research will aid the NTIA, FCC, the telecommunications industry, and other government agencies in the design of dynamic spectrum access schemes for cognitive radio under different communication requirements.In addition, NTIA will support the Administration's efforts to foster new wireless broadband technologies by making new spectrum available. Specifically, NTIA will collaborate with the FCC to develop a plan to make available significant spectrum suitable for both mobile and fixed wireless broadband use over the next ten years. The plan will focus on making spectrum available for exclusive use by commercial broadband providers or technologies, or for dynamic, shared access by commercial and government users.

Public Telecommunications Facilities, Planning and Construction public telecommunications facilities, planning and constructionFor the administration of prior year grants, authorized by section 392 of the Communications Act of 1934, $20,000,000, to remain available until expended as authorized by section 391 of the Act: Provided, That not to exceed $2,000,000 shall be available for program administration as authorized by section 391 of the Act: Provided further, That, notwithstanding the provisions of section 391 of the Act, the prior year unobligated balances may be made available for grants for projects for which applications have been submitted and approved during any fiscal year recoveries and unobligated balances of funds previously appropriated are hereafter available for the administration of all open grants until their expiration. (Department of Commerce Appropriations Act, 2010.) The awarding of new Public Telecommunications Facilities, Planning and Construction grants is proposed for termination in 2011. Since 2000, almost 70 percent of PTFP awards have supported public television stations' conversion to digital broadcasting, and mandated conversion efforts are now completed. Funding for remaining digital conversion and other activities is available from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which has authority to provide such grants. CPB funds can support the same types of capital projects as PTFP funding as well as stations' operating and programming costs. PTFP provides a lower level of support to public broadcasters than CPB, while requiring separate overhead resources.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13-0551-0-1-5032009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Broadband Technology Opportunities Program, Recovery Act The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-5) provides for the establishment of the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) in the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and also provides resources for broadband grants and loans through the Rural Utilities Service of the Department of Agriculture. The Administration is working in coordination to ensure effective implementation of these programs. The purposes of the BTOP include making grants to provide increased access to broadband service in unserved and underserved areas of the Nation, and ensuring broadband access to strategic institutions such as schools, libraries, healthcare providers, and public safety agencies that are likely to provide significant public benefits. Competitive grants are being made for broadband infrastructure, public computing centers, and sustainable broadband adoption. In addition, Federal assistance is being provided in the form of competitive grants to develop and implement statewide initiatives to identify and track the availability and adoption of broadband services within each State. As expeditiously as practicable, and not later than February 2011 by law, NTIA will develop and maintain a comprehensive nationwide inventory map of existing broadband service capability and availability in the United States. Authority for this program expires September 30, 2010. Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13-0554-0-1-3762009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

No. 110-385, 122 Stat. 4096, 4099 (2008).) Funding will provide resources to continue the administration and oversight of this $4.7 billion Recovery Act grant program for broadband technologies and deployment mapping. The majority of the Recovery Act grant funds will be awarded during 2010, but recipients will have three years, in most cases, to complete their projects. NTIA will continue to operate its grants management office to provide oversight and monitoring, grant evaluation, impact assessments, and reporting essential to ensure these grants comply with Federal grants management regulations and requirements, and to ensure that program goals are met. The Recovery Act also required NTIA to use a portion of Recovery funds to develop a map of broadband services in the United States. The 2011 funding will allow NTIA to continue with oversight of the grants funded through the broadband mapping program, and for ongoing work with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to maintain the national broadband map in 2011.

Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Fund The Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Fund, created by the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, as amended by the DTV Delay Act, received offsetting receipts from the auction of licenses to use electromagnetic spectrum formerly assigned to broadcast television service, and provides funding for several one-time programs from these receipts. The Act, as amended, specifies that recovered spectrum, aside from 24 megahertz dedicated to public safety use, was to be auctioned by the Federal Communications Commission in 2008 and identifies the distribution of revenue for deficit reduction and program purposes as identified below. Receipts exceeding amounts specified for authorized programs will be returned to the general fund of the Treasury. The Act also provided borrowing authority to the Department of Commerce to commence specified programs prior to the availability of auction receipts. Amounts borrowed from the Treasury have been returned as auction revenue has been realized. Digital-to-Analog Converter Box ProgramTo assist consumers during the transition from analog to digital television, up to two redeemed coupons were provided upon request to qualifying households, to be used towards the purchase of digital-to-analog television converter boxes. This program expired July 31, 2009. Public Safety Interoperable CommunicationsGrants have been awarded in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security to public safety agencies to assist efforts to make their communications systems interoperable ( i.e., capable of sharing voice and data signals). Public safety agencies are required to provide not less than twenty percent of the costs of acquiring and deploying the interoperable communications systems funded under this program from non-Federal sources. The program awarded the grants by September 30, 2007, in accordance with the Call Home Act of 2006, and NTIA will administer the grants to completion. New York City 9/11 Digital TransitionFederal assistance has been provided to the Metropolitan Television Alliance of New York City for the design and deployment of a temporary digital television broadcast system until a permanent facility atop the planned One World Trade Center building is constructed. The grant has been fully awarded and the program is now in the second phase which will improve television reception in sections of Brooklyn and the Bronx where digital television reception is marginal. Assistance to Low-Power Television StationsEligible low-power stations received compensation for a digital-to-analog conversion device through the Low-Power Television and Translator Digital-to-Analog Conversion Program to convert the incoming digital signal of a full-power television station to analog for transmission on the low-power station's analog channel. This program expired September 30, 2009. NTIA published a Notice of Funding Availability for the Low-Power Television and Translator Digital Upgrade Program in May 2009. This program is now awarding grants to eligible low-power television and translator stations to upgrade their television signals from analog to digital format. National and Remote Alert ProgramsTitle VI of the SAFE Port Act of 2006 specified the use of funds in these programs and requires the following: that public and educational broadcasters modify their towers to enable the distribution of targeted alerts by commercial mobile services providers, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); the establishment of a research program to support the development of technologies to increase the number of commercial mobile service devices that receive emergency alerts; and the establishment in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of a grant program for outdoor alerting technologies in remote communities to enable receipt of emergency alerts. NTIA has agreements with both NOAA and DHS regarding their grant programs and has transferred funds from the Digital Television Transition and Public Safety Fund to each agency. NTIA is currently working with public and educational broadcasters so they can distribute targeted alerts to commercial mobile services providers. National Tsunami Warning Program. NTIA entered an agreement with NOAA for NOAA to implement a tsunami warning system using a variety of communications technologies capable of alerting the public to emergency situations, including tsunamis and coastal vulnerability. Funds will be used to implement the ENHANCE 911 Act of 2004, which created a joint effort between of the Department of Commerce and the Department of Transportation to assist State and local governments in providing caller location identification capabilities for emergency 911 services and established a matching grant program for that purpose.

Law enforcement agencies may request firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons are not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not all firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced are used in crime.2 Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for purposes of determining which types, makes, or models of firearms are used for illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not constitute a random sample and should not be considered representative of the larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or any subset of that universe. Firearms are normally traced to the first retail seller, and sources reported for firearms traced do not necessarily represent the sources or methods by which firearms in general are acquired for use in crime.517a The Inspectors General of the Department of Commerce, the Department of Justice, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, and the Legal Services Corporation shall conduct audits, pursuant to the Inspector General Act (5 U.S.C.

The President shall terminate the requirements of a license when reasons for the temporary requirements have ceased.521 Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no department, agency, or instrumentality of the United States receiving appropriated funds under this Act or any other Act shall obligate or expend in any way such funds to pay administrative expenses or the compensation of any officer or employee of the United States to deny any application submitted pursuant to 22 U.S.C. 2778(b)(1)(B) and qualified pursuant to 27 CFR section 478.112 or .113, for a permit to import United States origin "curios or relics'' firearms, parts, or ammunition.522 None of the funds made available in this Act may be used to include in any new bilateral or multilateral trade agreement the text of--1 paragraph 2 of article 16.7 of the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement;2 paragraph 4 of article 17.9 of the United States-Australia Free Trade Agreement; or3 paragraph 4 of article 15.9 of the United States-Morocco Free Trade Agreement.523514 None of the funds made available in this Act may be used to authorize or issue a national security letter in contravention of any of the following laws authorizing the Federal Bureau of Investigation to issue national security letters: The Right to Financial Privacy Act; The Electronic Communications Privacy Act; The Fair Credit Reporting Act; The National Security Act of 1947; USA PATRIOT Act; and the laws amended by these Acts.524515 If at any time during any quarter, the program manager of a project within the jurisdiction of the Departments of Commerce or Justice, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or the National Science Foundation totaling more than $75,000,000 $250,000,000 has reasonable cause to believe that the total program cost has increased by 10 15 percent, the program manager shall immediately inform the Secretary, Administrator, or Director. The Secretary, Administrator, or Director shall notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 30 days in writing of such increase, and shall include in such notice: the date on which such determination was made; a statement of the reasons for such increases; the action taken and proposed to be taken to control future cost growth of the project; changes made in the performance or schedule milestones and the degree to which such changes have contributed to the increase in total program costs or procurement costs; new estimates of the total project or procurement costs; and a statement validating that the project's management structure is adequate to control total project or procurement costs.525516 Funds appropriated by this Act, or made available by the transfer of funds in this Act, for intelligence or intelligence related activities are deemed to be specifically authorized by the Congress for purposes of section 504 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 414) during fiscal year 2010 2011 until the enactment of the Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2010 2011.526 The Departments, agencies, and commissions funded under this Act, shall establish and maintain on the homepages of their Internet websites--1 a direct link to the Internet websites of their Offices of Inspectors General;
