Office of the Inspector General office of inspector generalFor necessary expenses of the Office of Inspector General in carrying out the provisions of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.) (as amended), $29,394,000$33,520,000. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The Office of Inspector General (OIG) promotes efficient and effective programs across the Department of Commerce through various analyses of bureau and Departmental programs and activities. It also works to prevent waste, fraud and abuse through audits, inspections and investigations, and, in cooperation with the Department of Justice, pursues enforcement against restraint-of-trade and commerce activities that relate to Department of Commerce programs.In order to provide more centralized funding in 2012, the OIG requests $2.7 million to support the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC). A direct appropriation to the Census Bureau to support the FAC could result in restrictions on use of the data; therefore, the FAC is funded by a transfer from the OIG, which in addition to being a user of the data, also has an oversight interest in the efficient and effective performance of the FAC as an asset across the Government.A detailed presentation of its performance outcome, and related measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2012 budget.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13–0126–0–1–3762010 actualCR2012 est.

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, and for grants and the cost of loan guarantees authorized by section 27 of the Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 (15 U.S.C. 3701 et seq.), as added by section 603 of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Public Law 111–358), $246,000,000$284,300,000, to remain available until expended; of which up to $7,000,000 shall be for such loan guarantees: Provided, That the costs for loan guarantees, including the cost of modifying such loans, shall be as defined in section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974: Provided further, That these funds are available to subsidize total loan principal, any part of which is to be guaranteed, not to exceed $100,000,000. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.Economic Development Assistance Programs (EDAP)Economic Development Administration (EDA) investments are focused in six broad development assistance programs, which include: Economic Adjustment Assistance, Partnership Planning (Successor to Planning), Technical Assistance, 21st Century Innovation Infrastructure (Successor to Public Works), Sustainable Economic Development (Successor to Global Climate Change Mitigation Incentive Fund), Research and Evaluation, and Trade Adjustment Assistance. 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 Tribes, and Alaska Native Villages to accomplish its mission. In 2012, EDA will continue to place funding priority on investments that drive economic growth, enhance regional competitiveness, and diversify the regional and local economy while also seeking to target funds to our Nation's most distressed communities. Specifically, the Agency is focused on accelerating the transition to the 21st Century economy by supporting sustainable job growth and competitive communities throughout the United States. EDA's framework for these strategies is the Jobs and Innovation Partnership. Two key pillars of the Jobs and Innovation Partnership are innovation and regional collaboration. Innovation is the key to global competitiveness, new and better jobs, a resilient economy, and the attainment of national economic goals. Regional collaboration is essential for economic recovery. Regions that work together to leverage resources and use combined strengths will overcome weaknesses. EDA has strategically invested resources to support a wide array of critical infrastructure for Regional Innovation Clusters, including science and research parks, broadband/smartgrid technology, business incubators and accelerators, high-tech shipping and logistics facilities, and workforce training centers. EDA is also working hand-in-hand with other Federal partners to promote and advance regional collaboration. The Budget also provides $40 million to EDA as part of the Growth Zones initiative, a national competition that will create a "Race to the Top" for Regional Economic Growth. EDA, with assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Agriculture, will provide the 20 winning Zones with planning and seed capital grants. These grants will facilitate rigorous economic development analysis, additional strategic planning, capacity building, and, implementation. The Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative (WI3) proposes to reallocate a total of 500 megahertz of Federal agency and commercial spectrum bands over the next 10 years in order to increase Americans access to wireless broadband. The auctions of reallocated spectrum licenses are expected to raise more than $27 billion by 2021. Repurposing spectrum will greatly facilitate access for smart phones, portable computers, and innovative technologies that are on the horizon. This effort will also enhance Americas public safety, infrastructure, and competitiveness by investing some of the expected receipts in the creation of a broadband network for public safety, expanding access to wireless broadband in rural America, and a Wireless Innovation (WIN) Fund to help develop cutting edge wireless technologies. As part of this initiative, EDA will participate in the WIN Fund by setting aside $100 million over the next five years in prize and grant competitions to fund development of regional clusters of wireless innovation.A detailed presentation of the performance outcomes, measures, and targets is found in the 2012 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, $986,359,400$752,711,000, to remain available until September 30, 20122013: Provided, That from amounts provided herein, funds may be used for promotion, outreach, and marketing activities. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.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. 2012 is the third year of the 2012 Economic Census cycle. In 2012, the focus is the development of the collection instruments and processing systems to be used in the 2012 Economic Census. Specific activities include outreach with over 1,500 of the largest companies about the census, development and creation of electronic tools and the Business Help Site to service respondent needs, conduct of a classification mailing in preparation of the census mailing list, creation of the mail frame through the processing of 100+ million administrative records, printing of millions of report forms, and development of the processing systems to be used in 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. 2012 is the third year in the five-year cycle of the 2012 Census of Governments. In 2012 activities will focus on data collecting and processing of three components: Government organization; Public Employment; and Government Finances.Intercensal demographic estimatesIn years between decennial censuses, this program develops annual estimates of the population of the Nation, States, metropolitan areas, counties and functioning governmental units. These data are used for a variety of purposes including the allocation of hundreds of billions of dollars in Federal funds, as controls for a variety of federally sponsored surveys, as denominators for vital statistics and other health and economic indicators, and for a variety of Federal, State, and private program planning needs. 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. Funds for 2012 will focus on the following activities for the 2010 Census: Evaluations, assessments and experiments; Development and dissemination of data products; Archiving response data and questionnaire images; Maintenance and support of the Data Access and Dissemination System (DADS) and implementation of DADS II; and the Closeout of 2010 contracts. 2012 funds will continue the implementation of the American Community Survey at a fully expanded sample size of 3.5 million housing units, including data quality improvement activities.2012 is the first year of funding for the three-year Research and Testing phase of the 2020 Decennial Census. The Census Bureau is committed to designing and conducting a 2020 Census that costs less per housing unit than the 2010 Census while maintaining high quality results. To achieve its cost and quality targets and meet its strategic goals, the Census Bureau is evaluating fundamental changes to the design, implementation, and management of the decennial census. Substantial innovation and improvements are necessary to prevent another large increase in costs, while still maintaining high quality. Demographic Surveys Sample DesignThe demographic surveys sample redesign activity updates the samples for the major recurring household surveys, to reflect America's mobile population and complex socioeconomic environment. The 2012 request includes a reduction of $2 million in order to fund higher priority programs.This activity's goal is to determine the correct location of every residential and business establishment address in the U.S. and its Territories. Major components include the Master Address File (MAF), a geographically-assigned address list for the nation, and the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) database, which provides maps and geographic information for data tabulation. Together, they provide essential information and products critical for conducting many of the Census Bureau's programs. The objective of the Data Processing Systems activity is to provide day-to-day information technology support for all program areas of the Census Bureau. The 2012 request includes a reduction of $2 million in order to fund higher priority programs.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 2012 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, $113,200,000$112,937,000, to remain available until September 30, 20122013, including not to exceed $2,000 for official entertainment. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)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 $300 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 2012 Budget proposes four initiatives to significantly improve BEA's measurement of the U.S. economy. — A New Economic Dashboard: 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. BEA proposes to publish 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.— Modernization of Statistical Production: BEA's current outdated data management processes and disparate information technology leave possible weaknesses in the production of economic statistics. The new, proposed integrated processing system will cut processing time by 30 percent and will also provide accurate and streamlined data transmission among the U.S. economic accounts. The requested funding would use a proven IT modernization model to increase operational efficiency, employee productivity and data quality throughout the bureau. — Energy's Economic Impact: 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 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.Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) Policy supportESA 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 informationA detailed presentation and description of each program, and related performance outcomes, measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2012 budget submission.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13–1500–0–1–3762010 actualCR2012 est.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.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.In 2012, NOAA proposes to reorganize its climate programs into a line office for climate services, making a total of seven line offices that will execute its mission: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 conserve the coastal ocean environment. The Budget increases funding in support of coastal and marine spatial planning , oil spill response and restoration, the Integrated Ocean Observing System, and coastal ecosystem science. 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 (EEZ). The Budget supports the reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Act through increased funding to assess major fish stocks and protected species and to promote innovative approaches to fisheries management . Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR)OAR programs provide environmental research and technology with applications across NOAA's mission. To accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of scientists in its Federal research laboratories, universities, and cooperative institutes and partnership programs. The Budget proposes to consolidate the majority of climate research, modeling, and services activities from this office into a Climate Service line office. Funding increases within OAR will support ocean exploration and improve surface wind projections to benefit wind energy planning.The CS will be established to identify, produce, and deliver authoritative and timely information about climate variations, trends, and their impacts on built and natural systems. CS will consolidate the majority of climate research, modeling, services, and data management from other line offices. For decades, NOAA and its partners have been providing climate information that is essential to many aspects of policy, planning and decision-making. The consolidation of NOAA's climate activities within CS will enable NOAA to more effectively provide climate services on regional to national to global scales. The CS will build upon its achievements gained over decades of engagement with interagency, academic, and private sector partners. The Budget provides increases for regional climate services.National Weather Service (NWS)NWS programs provide timely and accurate meteororological, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings and forecasts to ensure the safety of the population, minimize property losses, and improve the economic productivity of the Nation. The Budget proposes to transfer the Climate Prediction Center to the new Climate Service line office. Increases are provided for upgrades and maintenance of key observing systems.National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS)The Budget proposes to rename the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service as the National Environmental Satellite Service to reflect the proposed transfer of data and information management archive activities to the new Climate Service line office. In 2012, NESS will operate NOAA's polar-orbiting and geostationary environmental satellites and manage the product development and product distribution of the corresponding data. 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). 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 unobligated balances for this account are proposed for cancellation in 2012. Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13–1450–0–1–3062010 actualCR2012 est.

Limited Access System Administration Fund Under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Act Section 304(d)(2)(A), NMFS must collect a fee to recover the incremental costs of management, data collection, and enforcement of Limited Access Privilege (LAP) Programs. Funds collected under this authority are deposited into the Limited Access System Administrative Fund. Fees shall not exceed three percent of the ex-vessel value of fish harvested under any such program, and shall be collected at either the time of the landing, filing of a landing report, or sale of such fish during a fishing season or in the last quarter of the calendar year in which the fish is harvested. The Limited Access Administration Fund shall be available, without appropriation or fiscal year limitation, only for the purposes of administrating the central registry system; and administering and implementing the Magnuson-Stevens Act in the fishery in which the fees were collected. Sums in the fund that are not currently needed for these purposes shall be kept on deposit or invested in obligations of, or guaranteed by the U.S. Also, in establishing a LAP program, a Regional Council can consider, and may provide, if appropriate, an auction system or other program to collect royalties for the initial or any subsequent distribution of allocations. If an auction system is developed, revenues from these royalties are deposited in the Limited Access System Administration Fund.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13–5284–0–2–3062010 actualCR2012 est.

Fisheries Conservation and Management Fund Sanctuaries Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund The Sanctuaries Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund is a new account to receive proceeds from civil penalties and forfeiture claims against responsible parties, as determined through court settlements or agreements, for violations of NOAA sanctuary regulations. Penalties received are held in sanctuary site-specific accounts from year to year, as the funds are spent on resource protection within the sanctuary site where the penalty or forfeiture occurred. Funds are expended for resource protection purposes which may include all aspects of law enforcement (from equipment to labor), community oriented policing programs, and other resource protection and management measures such as the installation of mooring buoys or restoration of injured resources.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13–5584–0–2–3762010 actualCR2012 est.

Medicare-eligible Retiree Health Fund Contribution, NOAA This account includes amounts necessary to finance the cost of Tricare retirement health care benefits accrued by the active duty members of the NOAA Commissioned Corps. The Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for 2005 (P.L. 108–375) provided permanent, indefinite appropriations to finance these costs for all uniformed service members. As these costs are borne in support of NOAA's mission, they are shown as part of the NOAA discretionary total. Total obligations on behalf of active NOAA Commissioned Corps personnel include both the wages and related amounts requested for appropriation and amounts paid from the permanent, indefinite authority.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13–1465–0–1–3062010 actualCR2012 est.

Fisheries Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund Section 311(e)(1) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to pay certain enforcement-related expenses from fines, penalties and forfeiture proceeds received for violations of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, or of any other marine resource law enforced by the Secretary. Pursuant to this authority, NOAA is establishing an account for these receipts, the Fisheries Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund (AFF). Certain fines, penalties and forfeiture proceeds received by NOAA are deposited into this Fund and subsequently used to pay for certain enforcement-related expenses. When Congress authorized the AFF it was deemed appropriate to use these proceeds to offset in part the costs of administering the enforcement program. Expenses such as: costs directly related to the storage, maintenance, and care of seized fish, vessels, or other property during a civil or criminal proceeding; reimbursement to other Federal or State agencies for enforcement related services provided pursuant to an agreement entered into with the Secretary; and other limited uses as outlined in NOAAs Asset Forfeiture Fund policy. The NMFS Office of Law Enforcement (OLE) manages the AFF, which is used by OLE and NOAA General Counsel for Enforcement and Litigation to pay for enforcement activities.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13–5583–0–2–3762010 actualCR2012 est.

Fishermen's Contingency Fund Fishermen's Contingency FundFor carrying out the provisions of Title IV of Public Law 95–372, not to exceed $350,000, to be derived from receipts collected pursuant to that Act, to remain available until expended. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The Fishermen's Contingency Fund is authorized under Section 402 of Title IV of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act Amendments of 1978. NOAA compensates U.S. commercial fishermen for damage or loss of fishing gear, vessels, and resulting economic loss caused by obstructions related to oil and gas exploration, development, and production in any area of the Outer Continental Shelf. The funds used to provide this compensation are derived from fees collected by the Secretary of the Interior from the holders of leases, exploration permits, easements, or rights-of-way in areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. This activity is funded entirely through user fees. Disbursements can be made only to the extent authorized in appropriation acts.

Coastal Zone Management Fund 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.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution. 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.

USPTO is funded through fees that are paid to obtain and renew patents and trademarks. The 2012 Budget requests a program level of $2.7 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. The Budget requests an extension of these provisions in 2012, 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 funding for 2012 will be used for examining patent applications and granting patents. USPTO will continue its aggressive patent pendency reduction agenda to reduce overall pendency and backlog over the next three years; continue to reengineer its quality management program; make improvements to its information technology infrastructure; and improve intellectual property protections worldwide. The 2012 Budget provides resources for examining trademark applications, registering trademarks, maximizing the use of e-government for conducting business with applicants and registrants, and improving trademark practices worldwide.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13–1006–0–1–3762010 actualCR2012 est.

In addition, for necessary expenses of the Technology Innovation Program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, $79,900,000, to remain available until expended. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The ITS appropriation consists of four extramural programs, the Technology Innovation Program (TIP), Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (BPEP) and Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia (AMTech). The AMTech program is a new program proposed in 2012. The Baldrige Performance Excellence Program was previously funded through the Scientific and Technical Research and Services account. Technology Innovation Program (TIP)A total of $75.0 million is requested for TIP in 2012. TIP was established by the America Creating Opportunities to Meaningfully Promote Excellence in Technology, Education, and Sciences (COMPETES) Act of 2007 (P.L. 110–69), which was recently reauthorized. TIP promotes and accelerates innovation in the United States through high-risk, high-reward research in areas of critical national need. Areas which TIP has supported include Civil Infrastructure, and Manufacturing and Biomanufacturing. Future competitions will focus on other critical national need areas. TIP support for collaborative high-risk, high-reward technology development projects aims to attract a critical mass of talent in industry, academia, and government to take on important national challenges that can be addressed through advances in technology. Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP)The Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) is a Federal-state-industry partnership that provides U.S. manufacturers with access to technologies, resources, and industry experts. The MEP program consists of 60 Manufacturing Extension Partnership Centers that work directly with their local manufacturing communities to strengthen the competitiveness of our Nation's domestic manufacturing base. MEP supports the mission of NIST and the Department of Commerce to promote U.S. innovation and competitiveness and enable economic growth for American industries, workers, and consumers. Across the country, MEP Centers serve as trusted advisors to their manufacturing clients and help them navigate economic and business challenges, capitalize on opportunities and develop pathways leading to profitable growth. Services provided by MEP are grounded in technology-related activities, sustainability, efficiencies through continuous improvement, and the integration of supply chains. The $142.6 million requested for MEP in 2012 will expand the MEP program in support of the Administration's policy initiatives for reinventing domestic manufacturing to create jobs and better respond to future challenges and opportunities.Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (BPEP) The BPEP provides global leadership in the learning and sharing of successful strategies and performance practices, principles, and methodologies to strengthen U.S. organizations. The program promotes organizational excellence through education, outreach, and an annual Presidential awards program. The Baldrige Award is given to organizations in six categories: manufacturing, service, small business, health care, education, and nonprofit. BPEP works closely with these organizations to recognize and disseminate proven best practices for management and operation, leading to organizations that are more strategic, innovative, competitive, and effective. The Administration proposes to reduce funding for the BPEP, with the goal of transitioning the program out of Federal funding. The request includes $7.7 million for criteria development, best practices disseminations, and the award process. Additionally, the program will evaluate alternative sources of funding and reforms to the program that would generate efficiencies and reduce program overhead. Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia (AMTech)The request includes $12.3 million for an Advanced Manufacturing Technology Consortia (AMTech), a new pilot program proposed in 2012. AMTech will provide grants to leverage existing consortia or establish new industry-led consortia to develop road-maps of critical long-term industrial research needs as well as fund facilities, equipment and research at leading universities and government laboratories directed at meeting these needs. This program would be based on NIST's experience with the Nanoelectronics Research Initiative (NRI) partnership and would expand and improve on that model. A detailed presentation of performance outcomes, related measures, and targets is found in the Department's 2012 budget.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13–0525–0–1–3762010 actualCR2012 est.

Public Safety Innovation Fund The Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative proposes to reallocate a total of 500 megahertz of Federal agency and commercial spectrum bands over the next 10 years in order to increase Americans' access to wireless broadband. The auctions of reallocated spectrum licenses are expected to raise more than $27 billion by 2021. This effort will enhance America's public safety, infrastructure, and competitiveness by investing some of the expected receipts in the creation of a broadband network for public safety, expanding access to wireless broadband in rural America, and a Wireless Innovation (WIN) Fund to help develop cutting-edge wireless technologies. As part of this initiative, NIST will participate in the WIN Fund by working with industry and public safety organizations to conduct research and to develop new standards, technologies and applications to advance public safety communications.

National Telecommunications and Information Administration salaries and expensesFor necessary expenses, as provided for by law, of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), $21,825,000$55,827,000, to remain available until September 30, 20122013: Provided, That, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 1535(d), the Secretary of Commerce shall charge Federal agencies for costs incurred in spectrum management, analysis, operations, and related services, and such fees shall be retained and used as offsetting collections for costs of such spectrum services, to remain available until expended: Provided further, That the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to retain and use as offsetting collections all funds transferred, or previously transferred, from other Government agencies for all costs incurred in telecommunications research, engineering, and related activities by the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences of NTIA, in furtherance of its assigned functions under this paragraph, and such funds received from other Government agencies shall remain available until expended. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution. 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. As part of the Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative (WI3), the primary focus of NTIA's activities in 2012 will be supporting the creation of a public safety broadband network and spectrum reform. Specifically, NTIA will examine spectrum sharing approaches to identify the techniques that can provide the most efficient and effective use of the radio spectrum. NTIA will also evaluate spectrum use to identify new candidate bands for spectrum sharing or spectrum reallocation and will support the Administration's efforts to foster new wireless broadband technologies by identifying 500 Mhz of spectrum to make available for both mobile and fixed wireless broadband use over the next ten years. To further this effort, NTIA released the "Plan and Timetable to Make Available 500 MHz of Spectrum for Wireless Broadband" in November 2010 and will focus on implementing the plan in 2012. NTIA will also lead the formation of federal and international internet policies pertaining to internet-based privacy principles; growth of the global internet economy; protection of intellectual property; and protection of consumers and children. NTIA will continue to monitor broadband grants awarded by September 30, 2010, to ensure that funds are used appropriately by recipients.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 13–0550–0–1–3762010 actualCR2012 est.

Public Safety Broadband Network In support of the Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative (WI3), the Budget proposes $7 billion of funding over the next several years to help build an interoperable public safety broadband network and provides additional spectrum (the D block of spectrum in the 700 Megahertz band) for public safety use. This spectrum is currently valued at $3.2 billion, making the total commitment for the public safety network over $10 billion. Building upon the recommendations of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, this effort will enhance public safety by providing the Nation's first responders modern communications capabilities while allowing the network to benefit from commercial innovation. NTIA will work the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice along with the Federal Communications Commission to implement this program in a way that ensures a secure, interoperable, and efficient network.

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 applied to deficit reduction. 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 all been returned. 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. The authority for this program was extended from September 30, 2010, to September 30, 2012. Low-Power Television and Translator Digital Upgrade ProgramThis 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. The Budget proposal will cancel $4.3 million in unobligated balances from the National Alert account. The remaining balances will fund anticipated program activities.
