Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration salaries and expenses The conferees agree to provide $123,746,000 instead of $123,474,000 as proposed by the House and $123,799,000 as proposed by the Senate.

Expanded Access to Financial Services (including transfer of funds) The conferees agree to provide $2,000,000 instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by the House and a rescission of $8,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network salaries and expenses The conferees agree to provide $45,837,000 as proposed by the House instead of $45,702,000 as proposed by the Senate. FinCEN Lease Renegotiation The conferees are aware that the present lease arrangement for the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) expires in fiscal year 2003, and recognize that FinCEN has special needs for space and facilities, both to address growing demands on its resources by customer agencies and in light of new requirements arising after the September 11th terrorist attack. The conferees therefore encourage FinCEN, working with the Department of the Treasury, to ensure that its decisions on office space facilitate the best use of FinCEN resources by joint investigations and task forces, especially where co- location is required and enhanced building security is a necessity. Counterterrorism Fund The conferees agree to provide $40,000,000 for the Counterterrorism Fund instead of $36,879,000 as proposed by the House and $44,879,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees agree that such funding is available to counter, investigate or prosecute unexpected threats or acts of terrorism, subject to prior notification of the Committees in accordance with reprogramming and transfer guidelines. Federal Law Enforcement Training Center salaries and expenses The conferees agree to provide $105,680,000 instead of $102,132,000 as proposed by the House and $106,317,000 as proposed by the Senate. Included in this amount is $3,298,000 to cover additional training costs associated with the U.S. Secret Service rebalancing initiative and the U.S. Customs Service Northern Border initiative, $363,000 for the anticipated pay adjustment, as well as $1,250,000 to continue and expand the rural law enforcement education collaboration of the National Center for State and Local Training. acquisition, construction, improvements, and related expenses The conferees agree to provide $33,434,000 as proposed by the Senate instead of $27,534,000 as proposed by the House. Interagency Law Enforcement interagency crime and drug enforcement The conferees agree to provide $107,576,000 as proposed by the House instead of $106,965,000 as proposed by the Senate. Financial Management Service salaries and expenses The conferees agree to provide $212,850,000 instead of $213,211,000 as proposed by the House and $212,316,000 as proposed by the Senate. Included in this amount are increases of $361,000 for non-pay inflation and an additional $895,000 for the anticipated pay adjustment. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms salaries and expenses The conferees agree to provide $823,316,000 instead of $816,816,000 as proposed by the House and $821,421,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees include $9,655,000 for non-pay inflation, an additional $3,140,000 forthe anticipated pay adjustment, $500,000 to improve firearms licensing and regulatory operations, $3,000,000 to expand the Integrated Violence Reduction Strategy, and $3,500,000 to upgrade the National Tracing Center. The conferees also provide that $13,000,000 shall remain available until expended for grants, cooperative agreements or contracts to local governments for the Gang Resistance Education and Training program, as proposed by the Senate. ATF Automation The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm's (ATF) continued leadership in alcohol beverage regulation is particularly important because the 21st Amendment prohibits the transportation or importation of alcohol beverages for delivery or use within a State in violation of the laws of such State. States have worked with ATF to develop complementary enforcement mechanisms. For example, alcohol beverages can be sold in most States upon submission to the State of the ATF- issued Certificate of Label Approval. As Congress has mandated individual label review, and a government warning on all labels, ATF's efforts to carry out those laws are essential. However, ATF's existing paper-intensive label approval system creates a crushing workload, leading to employee turnover, frustration, and delays in processing applications. ATF officials identified funds in fiscal year 2001 to upgrade the label approval process. The agency has also begun working with the Financial Management Service in an effort to automate industry production reports, which are required to support tax audits and other regulatory activities. The conferees encourage ATF to sustain efforts to automate routine compliance measures mandated by the Federal Alcohol Administration Act, and to implement new initiatives in cooperation with State officials and industry members. United States Customs Service SALARIES AND EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $2,079,357,000, instead of $2,056,604,000 as proposed by the House and $2,022,453,000 as proposed by the Senate. Included in this amount are $33,476,000 for non-pay inflation and $9,247,000 for the anticipated pay adjustment; $800,000 for tobacco smuggling task forces, $1,317,000 as authorized by the African Growth and Opportunity Act, $5,000,000 for the Intellectual Property Rights Center and investigations initiative, $33,151,000 for non-intrusive inspection technology, $28,152,000 for a Northern Border hiring initiative, $750,000 for agricultural trade research, $250,000 for a Vermont Trade Center, and $450,000 for screening scrap metal. The conferees direct that not less than $1,000,000 of available funds shall be used to develop a canine training curriculum to combat and respond to terrorist activities related to chemical and biological weapons threats. BORDER PORTS OF ENTRY ORGANIZATION The conferees are interested in the continuing growth in commercial and passenger traffic along the U.S. border ports of entry. Given the events surrounding the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the conferees are also concerned about the heightened security requirements at all ports of entry. Growth in traffic and concurrent security requirements demand that resources be allocated expeditiously to secure our borders while facilitating the free flow of trade. Therefore, the conferees are closely following the infrastructure improvements for the Southern and Northern ports identified in the U.S. Port of Entry Infrastructure Study 2000, and look forward to the recommendations of the Border Station Partnership Council. Given the potential infrastructure enhancements, along with highway improvements on both sides of the border, airport improvements, security enhancements, as well as increased NAFTA activity, the conferees request that Customs submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations on how it plans to change existing port or border infrastructure, including any concomitant changes in the size or organization of Customs Service border operations. Intellectual Property Rights Initiative The conferees have agreed to provide $5,000,000 for the investigative efforts of the Intellectual Property Rights Center (IPR Center) to combat cyberpiracy and counterfeiting, such as software counterfeiting, as proposed in the Senate bill. The conference agreement assumes that this funding will be used for the hiring and strategic placement of additional Customs Special Agents in domestic and overseas offices to enhance enforcement of U.S. intellectual property laws, as well as to support and enhance the operation of the IPR Center to combat intellectual property rights violations. The conferees direct the Customs Service to notify the Committees on Appropriations on its spending plan prior to obligating these funds, and also to provide a status report on the initiative to the Committees not later than July 31, 2002. Harbor Maintenance Fee Collection (Including Transfer of Funds) The conferees agree to provide $3,000,000 as proposed by the Senate, instead of $2,993,000 as proposed by the House. OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND PROCUREMENT, AIR AND MARINE INTERDICTION PROGRAMS The conferees agree to provide $177,860,000 instead of $181,860,000 as proposed by the House and $172,637,000 as proposed by the Senate. This amount includes funding for non- pay inflation; $7,000,000 for the Training Standardization Branch; $4,200,000 for electro-optical and infrared imaging systems; and $2,938,000 for additional marine interceptor craft and safety equipment. AUTOMATION MODERNIZATION The conferees agree to provide $427,832,000 as proposed by the House instead of $357,832,000 as proposed by the Senate. AUTOMATED COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT The conferees strongly believe that continued oversight of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) program by GAO and Treasury is critical to successful adherence to the ACE expenditure plan. Periodic review of investment increments allows for oversight of the capital planning and architecture development, and is consistent with best practices. The conferees direct that regular quarterly reports continue to be provided until ACE becomes functional. Additionally, the conferees direct Customs to submit requests for release of funds, including a cost-benefit analysis, in a timely manner, but in no case less than 30 days before the anticipated need for the funds. United States Mint UNITED STATES MINT PUBLIC ENTERPRISE FUND The conferees agree to include new bill language establishing a spending level for capital investments by the U.S. Mint for circulating coinage and protective services of $43,000,000. The conferees also agree to include a requirement that the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund pay $250,000 for a study by the General Accounting Office on public interest and acceptance of circulating coinage. The conferees recognize the initial steps the Director has taken to investigate and remedy many of the ongoing problems and concerns raised by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The conferees are aware of the challenges facing the U.S. Mint and look forward to a close working relationship with its new Director. The conferees are concerned with the direction of the marketing campaigns that the U.S. Mint is using to promote the Golden Dollar coin and the circulating commemorative quarters authorized under P.L. 105-124. The conferees are also concerned with the lack of information regarding the nature and extent to which the Golden Dollar coin is being used in commerce as contained within the report, Report to Congress on the Marketing of the Golden Dollar, submitted to the Congress by the U.S. Mint. The conferees are especially concerned with the lack of consultation by the Mint with the Congress on these promotional efforts. Therefore, the U.S. Mint shall not draw funds from the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund to further promote the Golden Dollar coin or the circulating commemorative quarters until the Director submits and the Committees on Appropriations approve a marketing plan for such promotional efforts. This requirement shall not be construed to limit the sales or marketing of either of these coins for sale directly to the public through the U.S. Mint's traditional numismatic sales channels. The conferees remain concerned with the amount of travel outside the continental United States that is being conducted by the U.S. Mint. Therefore, the conferees direct the U.S. Mint not to draw funds from the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund for travel outside the continental United States without specific approval of the Director of the Mint. The Director shall submit a report on the cost of such travel occurring during fiscal year 2002 to the Committees on Appropriations no later than October 31, 2002. Bureau of the Public Debt ADMINISTERING THE PUBLIC DEBT The conferees agree to provide $186,953,000 instead of $187,927,000 as proposed by the House and $187,318,000 as proposed by the Senate. Included in this amount are increases of $974,000 for non-pay inflation and an additional $609,000 for the anticipated pay adjustment. Within these funds, the conferees have provided sufficient amounts to pay for administrative services by the Bureau of the Public Debt in association with the South Dakota Trust Fund and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Terrestrial Wildlife Restoration and Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Terrestrial Restoration Trust Fund, as authorized by sections 603(f) and 604(f) of Public Law 106-53. Internal Revenue Service PROCESSING, ASSISTANCE, AND MANAGEMENT The conferees agree to provide $3,797,890,000 instead of $3,808,434,000 as proposed by the House and $3,786,347,000 as proposed by the Senate. Included in this amount are increases of $12,543,000 for non-pay inflation,$1,000,000 for low-income taxpayer clinics, and $1,000,000 for volunteer income tax assistance. TAX LAW ENFORCEMENT The conferees agree to provide $3,538,347,000 as proposed by the House instead of $3,535,198,000 as proposed by the Senate. EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT COMPLIANCE INITIATIVE The conferees agree to provide $146,000,000 as proposed by the House and the Senate. INFORMATION SYSTEMS The conferees agree to provide $1,563,249,000 as proposed by the Senate instead of $1,573,065,000 as proposed by the House. The conferees are concerned about the degree to which development-related investments funded in this account are coordinated and integrated with the information technology improvements funded in the business systems modernization account. The conferees further believe that the development- related activities funded under this account should be managed with careful diligence and appropriate centralized control. BUSINESS SYSTEMS MODERNIZATION The conferees agree to provide $391,593,000 as proposed by the House instead of $419,593,000 as proposed by the Senate.

Section 103. The conferees agree to continue a provision which requires the IRS to institute and enforce policies and practices that will safeguard the confidentially of taxpayer information. Section 104. The conferees agree to continue a provision with respect to the IRS 1-800 help line service. United States Secret Service SALARIES AND EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $920,615,000 instead of $920,112,000 as proposed by the House and $899,615,000 as proposed by the Senate. This includes the costs of non-pay inflation and the anticipated pay adjustment. The conferees also provide $1,633,000 for forensic support to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), and $3,009,000 for grants to NCMEC. ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENT, AND RELATED EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $3,457,000 as proposed by the House instead of $3,352,000 as proposed by the Senate. General Provisions--Department of the Treasury Section 110. The conferees agree to continue a provision that requires the Secretary of the Treasury to comply with certain reprogramming guidelines when obligating or expending funds for law enforcement activities. Section 111. The conferees agree to continue a provision that allows the Department of the Treasury to purchase uniforms, insurance, and motor vehicles without regard to the general purchase price limitation, and enter into contracts with the Department of State for health and medical services for Treasury employees in overseas locations. Section 112. The conferees agree to continue a provision that requires the expenditure of funds so as not to diminish efforts under section 105 of the Federal Alcohol Administration Act. Section 113. The conferees agree to continue a provision that authorizes transfers, up to 2 percent, between law enforcement appropriations under certain circumstances. Section 114.

The conferees agree to include a new provision that extends the pilot project for designated critical occupations for one additional year. Section 121. The conferees agree to include a new provision as proposed by the Senate that requires the approval of the authorizing committees for the construction and operation of any museum by the U.S. Mint. Section 122.

TITLE II--POSTAL SERVICE Payment to the Postal Service Fund The conferees agree to provide $143,712,000, as proposed by the House and Senate. Of this amount $47,619,000 is provided as an advance appropriation for free mail to the blind and overseas voters, as proposed by the House. The conferees include an additional $29,000,000 for prior year reimbursement shortfalls, as proposed by the House and Senate. Additional funds of $67,093,000 reflect the advance appropriation provided in the fiscal year 2001 appropriations bill. Mail Sorting Practices in Hawaii The conferees are aware that Hawaii has only one mail sorting station, on the island of Oahu. Standard practice dictates that mail sent within Hawaii be sent to Oahu for sorting and delivery, even mail sent within a given island. In light of the disruption of the Nation's air transportation and mail delivery system caused by the recent terrorist attacks, the conferees urge the Postal Service to develop a procedure by which mail that originates on the same island to which it is addressed can be kept and sorted on that island. The conferees agree that the Postal Service should examine the feasibility of implementing procedures that take into account Hawaii's unique geography. Postal Service Authorities The conferees direct both the United States Postal Service and the Postal Rate Commission to independently report, 90 days after enactment of this Act, on the scope of existing authority of the US Postal Service, under title 39, United States Code, and title 39, Code of Federal Regulations, to introduce and provide new products and services (including the introduction and provision of new products and services on an experimental or market test basis) and to enter into negotiated service agreements with individual customers or groups of customers. Such reports shall include background on the use of such authority within the past 24 months and shall be provided to the Committees on Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, and the House Committee on Government Reform. Semi-Postal Stamps The conferees have included and modified a Senate provision reauthorizing the Breast Cancer Research Special Postage Stamp, included and modified a Senate provision authorizing the 9/11 Heroes Stamp Act of 2001, and included a new provision authorizing the Stamp Out Domestic Violence Act of 2001. The conferees agree that each of these causes are in the national public interest and are appropriate at this time. The conferees expect that any future candidates for semi-postal stamps will be selected by the Postal Service through the congressionally- authorized process. TITLE III--EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT AND FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT Compensation of the President and the White House Office SALARIES AND EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $54,651,000 as proposed by the House instead of $54,165,000 as proposed by the Senate. Executive Residence at the White House OPERATING EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $11,695,000 as proposed by the House instead of $11,914,000 as proposed by the Senate. WHITE HOUSE REPAIR AND RESTORATION The conferees agree to provide $8,625,000 as proposed by the House and Senate for 9 separate construction projects. For each project in excess of $100,000, with the exception of computer upgrades and software development, and prior to the obligation of funds, the conferees direct the National Park Service to submit to the Committees on Appropriations a prospectus that includes, at minimum, a complete description of the project's scope and design, major work items to be completed, estimated total obligations by activity (construction cost, design and review cost, management and inspection), estimated construction schedules including start and completion dates for both design and construction, and estimated construction cost by major work item. Special Assistance to the President and Official Residence of the Vice President SALARIES AND EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $3,925,000 as proposed by the House instead of $3,896,000 as proposed by the Senate. OPERATING EXPENSES (including transfer of funds) The conferees agree to provide $318,000 as proposed by the House instead of $314,000 as proposed by the Senate. Council of Economic Advisers SALARIES AND EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $4,211,000 as proposed by the House instead of $4,192,000 as proposed by the Senate. Office of Policy Development SALARIES AND EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $4,142,000 as proposed by the House instead of $4,119,000 as proposed by the Senate. National Security Council SALARIES AND EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $7,494,000 as proposed by the House instead of $7,447,000 as proposed by the Senate. Office of Administration SALARIES AND EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $46,955,000 as proposed by the House instead of $46,032,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees agree to include bill language withholding a portion of the funds appropriated for the Capital Investment Plan pending the submission of a report, as proposed by the House. Office of Management and Budget SALARIES AND EXPENSES The conferees agree to provide $70,752,000 as proposed by the House instead of $70,519,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees modify a provision proposed by the House related to a cost and benefit assessment of Executive Order 13166 and agree to delete a provision related to subsidy estimates of certain loans. sba loan programs The conferees are concerned that since the enactment of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, the subsidy rate for the Small Business Administration's 7(a) and 504 loan programs has been reestimated downwards, and that borrowers and lenders in both programs have been paying higher than necessary fees to participate in the programs. This is a direct result of the fact that the subsidy rate model developed to determine a program's subsidy rate uses default assumptions that do not reflect recent program performance of either the 7(a) program or the 504 program, or the legislative and administrative changes made to these programs in the 1990's. The conferees also note that although the Administration reports it has begun to update the 7(a) program's subsidy rate model, which is welcome, no written verification has been given that they have begun to address the 504 program's subsidy rate calculation issue. Finally, the conferees understand that the Small Business Administration has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review new subsidy rate estimates for inclusion in the President's budget submission for FY 2003. The conferees direct that, within 30 days after enactment of this act, the Office of Management and Budget and the Small Business Administration submit a progress report to the House and Senate Committees on Small Business, the Committees on Appropriations, and the Committees on the Budget on this subject. INTERNATIONAL FOOD ASSISTANCE The House bill contained a provision based upon concerns of the proper role for the Office of Management and Budget in the administration of international food assistance programs. In lieu of the House bill language, the conferees direct the Office of Management and Budget to work closely with USDA and AID, as well as other appropriate Federal departments and agencies, with the expectations that agencies will work together to standardize eligibility standards and deadlines for aid; define program goals with measurable standards of performance; ensure that performance is appropriately measured and evaluated; and fully utilize all Federal expertise to ensure that the best possible assistance is being provided to the private voluntary organizations operating the programs. The Office of Management and Budget is also expected to keep the Committees on Appropriations fully apprised of on-going action with respect to this multi-agency effort. Office of National Drug Control Policy SALARIES AND EXPENSES (including transfer of funds) The conferees agree to provide $25,263,000 instead of $25,267,000 as proposed by the House and $25,096,000 as proposed by the Senate. This includes $167,000 for non-pay inflation. COUNTERDRUG TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT CENTER (including transfer of funds) The conferees agree to provide $42,300,000 instead of $42,000,000 as proposed by the Senate and $40,000,000 as proposed by the House. Of this funding, $20,064,000 is for the basic research and development program and $22,236,000 is for continuation of the technology transfer program. The conferees include $2,000,000 to provide neuroimaging technology to an institution that can conduct substance abuse research and train Native American physicians in substance abuse research as described in the Senate report, and $300,000 to support research into the relationship between genetic factors leading to conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease and environmental factors, particularly substance abuse. Federal Drug Control Programs HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM (including transfer of funds) The conferees agree to provide $226,350,000 as proposed by the Senate instead of $233,882,000 as proposed by the House. The conferees fully fund the Administration's request, and include an additional $20,000,000 to increase funding for or expand existing High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTAs), or to fund newly designated HIDTAs. The conferees provide that existing HIDTAs shall be funded at no less than fiscal year 2001 levels unless the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) Director submits to the Committees, and the Committees approve, justification for changes in those levels based on clearly articulated priorities for the HIDTA program, as well as published ONDCP performance measures of effectiveness. Similarly, while the conferees provide additional funding that may be used for newly designated HIDTAs, they direct that no funds may be obligated for such purposes until similar justification is provided to the Committees for approval. The ability to evaluate effectiveness of individual HIDTAs, and to match funding needs against budgets, depends on reliable and consistent methodology for performance measurement and management. This is particularly important given the key role HIDTAs play in bringing together many divergent counterdrug agencies and crosscutting programs--which also exacerbates the problem of isolating the impact of HIDTAs. The conferees direct that the HIDTA program shall employ the performance measurement methodology and data collection identified by the HIDTA Performance Management Working Group in 1999. These would emphasize three main areas: increasing compliance with HIDTA developmental standards; dismantling or disabling at least 5 percent of targeted drug trafficking organizations; and reducing specific types of violent crime. The conferees support, and include funding for, ONDCP validation and verification of HIDTA management and performance, including the use of on-site reviews and external financial evaluations. As ONDCP reviews proposals for the increased HIDTA funding provided, the conferees direct it to consider the following: increases for Central Florida, Rocky Mountain, Midwest (for Missouri, Iowa and North Dakota), Chicago, Southwest Border (for Arizona, New Mexico and West Texas), Southeast Michigan, Appalachian, Lake County, Gulf Coast, Hawaii, Philadelphia/ Camden, Oregon, and Milwaukee HIDTAs; and funding for expansion of HIDTAs in North Texas (to Oklahoma counties), and the Northwest (to counties in southwest andeastern Washington); and possible designation of Arkansas and North Carolina, which have sought designation in recent years. special forfeiture fund (including transfer of funds) The conferees agree to provide $239,400,000 instead of $238,600,000 as proposed by the House and $249,400,000 as proposed by the Senate. This includes $180,000,000 for the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, of which $5,000,000 shall be spent on purchasing advertising time and space specifically targeted at combating the drug Ecstasy. It also includes $50,600,000 for the Drug-Free Communities Act program, $4,800,000 for the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, $1,000,000 for the National Drug Courts Institute, and $3,000,000 for the Counterdrug Intelligence Executive Secretariat. drug-free communities act evaluation The conferees recognize the importance of evaluating performance of the Drug-Free Communities Program, and expect that ONDCP will utilize up to $750,000 of total funding provided for this purpose. The conferees direct ONDCP to work with the authorizing committees of jurisdiction to ensure authorization for such funding is included in forthcoming ONDCP reauthorization legislation. TITLE IV--INDEPENDENT AGENCIES Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or Severely Disabled salaries and expenses The conferees agree to provide $4,629,000 as proposed by the House instead of $4,498,000 as proposed by the Senate. Federal Election Commission salaries and expenses The conferees agree to provide $43,689,000 as proposed by the House instead of $43,993,000 as proposed by the Senate. election administration reform The conferees support efforts to achieve election administration reform and are aware of several legislative initiatives currently being considered in both the Senate and the House. The conferees support bipartisan efforts to produce legislation that assists State and local governments while respecting their primacy in the conduct of elections. The conferees will consider appropriations for election administration reform when such reform measures become authorized. Federal Labor Relations Authority salaries and expenses The conferees agree to provide $26,524,000 as proposed by the House instead of $26,378,000 as proposed by the Senate. General Services Administration federal buildings fund limitations on availability of revenue (including transfer of funds) The conferees agree to provide $6,100,382,000 in new obligational authority instead of $6,072,138,000 as proposed by the House and $6,217,350,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees directly appropriate $8,000,000 into the Fund to cover a portion of the new obligational needs of the Fund. construction and acquisition The conferees agree to provide $386,280,000 instead of $348,816,000 as proposed by the House and $477,544,000 as proposed by the Senate. orlando, florida, courthouse The conferees agree to provide $4,000,000 for additional design of the Orlando, Florida, courthouse.
