This funding will ensure that resources, equipment, and supplies are available for our service members without interruption, and will enable the Department to avoid absorbing incremental operational costs from within baseline programs that are critical to future readiness and home-station activities. The estimates outlined in the Committee's recommendations are based on recent execution data and detailed discussions with the military services and operational commanders. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days of enactment of this legislation on the allocation of the funds within the accounts listed in this chapter. The Secretary shall submit updated reports 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter until funds listed in this chapter are no longer available for obligation. The Committee directs that these reports shall include: a detailed accounting of obligations and expenditures of appropriations provided in this chapter by program and subactivity group for the continuation of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan; and a listing of equipment procured using funds provided in this chapter. The Committee expects that in order to meet unanticipated requirements, the Department of Defense may need to transfer funds within these appropriation accounts for purposes other than those specified in this report. The Committee directs the Department of Defense to follow normal prior approval reprogramming procedures should it be necessary to transfer funding between different appropriations accounts in this chapter. Additionally, the Committee directs that the bi-annual reporting requirements of section 9010 of Public Law 108-287, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2005, regarding the military operations of the Armed Forces and the reconstruction activities of the Department of Defense in Iraq and Afghanistan shall apply to the funds appropriated in this Act. MILITARY PERSONNEL The Committee recommends a total of $10,204,007,000 for the incremental cost of pay and allowances of the Active, Reserve, and Guard Components deployed overseas, retained on active duty to support military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, or participating in or supporting the global war on terror. These include Imminent Danger Pay, Family Separation Allowance, Hardship Duty Pay, Basic Allowance for Housing, Foreign Language Proficiency Pay, Subsistence, and other military personnel requirements. In addition, funds are included for casualty benefits associated with the death or traumatic injury of service members.

Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report that addresses (1) what actions the Department has taken or is taking to make sure that military service members receive the correct amount of pay, allowances, or monetary benefits to which service members are entitled each pay period, including basic pay, hazardous duty pay, imminent danger pay, basic allowance for housing, basic allowance for subsistence, any family separation allowance, or any cost of living allowance, and (2) what steps are being taken to provide accurate pay information to military service members and their spouses so they know the correct amount they should expect to be deposited in their accounts, and (3) what recourses military members and their families have to receive responsive, understanding support from their respective services when pay questions arise. For cases of when one or more overpayments have been made in error by the Department, the report should include what steps the Department is taking to either grant relief for the debt or to make arrangements with the military member for collection in a way that does not create unreasonable financial hardship, especially in cases where the military member is wounded and when families or dependents are involved. For cases when relief of the debt has been denied, the report should include those reasons for denial. For cases in which underpayments have occurred, the report should include an explanation of action by the Department to correct the underpayments. The report should also include what performance standards the Department has set for itself concerning pay errors and how the Department is performing against the standard. The Secretary of Defense shall submit the report to the congressional defense committees not later then 120 days after the date of the enactment of this act. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The Committee recommends $39,194,590,000 for the operation and maintenance accounts. These funds are available to fund military operations by the services and Special Operations Forces to include: flying hours, ship steaming days, ground operations, special airlift missions, increased maintenance requirements, logistics support costs, overseas transportation, communications support, facility management and other operation and maintenance requirements.

Commander's Emergency Response Program [CERP].--The Committee recommends $423,000,000 for the Commander's Emergency Response Program. The amount recommended is in addition to $500,000,000 previously provided in fiscal year 2006. The Committee believes this program provides an invaluable tool for military commanders in the field to provide humanitarian relief and reconstruction projects that have an immediate and visible impact on the quality of life of the Iraqi and Afghan people. The Committee also recognizes that military commanders in the field are the first line of contact with the civilian population and therefore directs that the CERP funds should remain under the operational control of the military commanders. Condolence Payments.--The Committee supports the Department's program for condolence payments to civilians who have suffered injuries, or to the families of those who have died, as a result of combat operations. The Committee directs the Secretary to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after enactment, which addresses: the benefits and disadvantages of a decentralized program; claims documentation, approval, denial and implementation procedures; Department of Defense guidance provided to the field on this matter to ensure consistency of best practices; and recommendations regarding the funding mechanism for these payments.

The Marine Corps has since indicated that a portion of the Active component request will outfit Marine Corps reservists deploying to Iraq and would be better executed within the ``Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps Reserve'' account. Therefore, the Committee recommends the transfer of $32,200,000 from the Active component to the Reserves to align the resources with the requirement.

The recommendation is equal to the estimate. Afghanistan and Iraq Security Forces Funds.--The Committee recommends $5,611,133,000 to train and equip Afghan and Iraq security forces. The funds are provided to assist the governments of Afghanistan and Iraq to assume increasing responsibility for their nations' security. The Committee's recommendation is $289,700,000 below the request. The reduction is taken for security infrastructure in Afghanistan that will not be executed until the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Furthermore, the Committee directs that no funds provided in the ``Iraq Security Forces Fund'' shall be obligated for infrastructure construction or repair until after the formation of the unified Iraqi government.

Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund 2006 appropriation to date.............................................. 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ $1,958,089,000 The Committee recommends $1,958,089,000 to initiate the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund. The recommendation is $1,958,089,000 above the estimate. Improvised explosive devices continue to be a critical threat to the safety of U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The use of these relatively inexpensive weapons has grown, as has the technical sophistication of the terrorists using them. To provide adequate funding and management flexibility to the Department in developing and fielding the necessary tactics, equipment and training to defeat these weapons, the Committee provides $1,958,089,000 in the ``Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund.'' The funds may only be used for activities that support the IED defeat objective. Within 90 days of enactment, the Department shall provide to the congressional defense committees an initial plan for managing and using the Fund. The Department is directed to provide a detailed description of the new JIEDD organization, its command structure, funding sources, and personnel needs (military, civilian and contractor support). In addition, the Department shall submit a report not later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter to the congressional defense committees providing assessments of the evolving threats, individual service requirements to counter the threats, and details on the obligations and expenditures of this Fund. PROCUREMENT The Committee recommends $15,456,598,000 for procurement. This funds the Services' most urgent procurement needs, including improvements for force protection equipment, replacement, repair and reset of war-torn equipment, Army modularity, and essential equipment and munitions. Procurement Overview Including the amounts set forth in this bill, the Committee has provided $350,000,000,000 in emergency supplemental appropriations to the Department of Defense for the global war on terror since the attacks of September 11, 2001. The requirement to reset the force, along with initiatives such as Army Modular Forces and the Marine Corps Special Operations Command, has driven rapid increases in the supplemental funds requested for procurement. This continuous growth is now at the point where, in some instances, the supplemental request for some accounts represents two to three times the amounts requested in the regular Defense appropriations bill. However, the justification material submitted to Congress includes only descriptive summaries for each account and is absent of meaningful program and budget information, such as requirements, pricing and delivery schedules. In the future, the Committee will not be able to fully support supplemental requests unless it is provided the same detailed justification and program materials that it receives with the annual budget request.

The conference report accompanying the fiscal year 2006 Department of Defense Appropriations Act contained a requirement that the Army submit a plan no later than January 15, 2006, detailing its plans to procure evolutionary capability in its network communications packages. The Army is still evaluating the program and has not submitted the report. Due to concerns about the Army's ability to execute the program while the contract strategy is still in question, the Committee reduces the program by $100,000,000 and redirects an additional $10,000,000 from ``Other Procurement, Army'' to the ``Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army'' appropriation to conduct the required operational testing. Physical Security Systems.--The Committee supports the Army's program to acquire non-intrusive vehicle and cargo inspection systems to support ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since the terrorist threat was more fully recognized following September 2001, industry has made progress in developing innovative technologies to meet this critical need. The Committee directs the Department of the Army to use a competitive procurement process to fulfill the equipment requirements funded in the Physical Security Systems line.

The Osprey is the planned replacement for the CH-46E and CH-53D helicopters. Both legacy assets are suffering losses in battle and experiencing significant wear and tear in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Considering the CH-46E and CH-53D are no longer in production and nearing the end of their expected life, the Committee believes procurement of replacement aircraft needs to be accelerated to support Marine Corps operations. Now that the V-22 Osprey program has completed operational testing and entered full rate production, the Committee also believes the production efficiencies gained from this acceleration of replacement aircraft will result in substantial cost savings over the life of the program. UH-1Y Aircraft.--The request includes $74,000,000 to procure four UH-1Y aircraft. The Committee is aware that these funds are no longer executable in the current fiscal year. As a result, the Committee defers the funding to a future appropriations bill. AV-8 Series.--The supplemental request includes $31,947,000 to provide numerous upgrades and modifications to AV-8 aircraft. Several of the modifications appear to be upgrades not directly related to the global war on terror. In addition, a portion of the funds will not be obligated until fiscal year 2007. The Committee, therefore, reduces the request by $10,000,000 and encourages the Navy to pursue modification efforts in the traditional appropriation process. H-53 Series.--The Committee recommendation transfers $2,000,000 from the ``Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy'' account to the ``Aircraft Procurement, Navy'' account to provide Blue Force Tracker/Moving Map capability for H-53s. Subsequent to the budget submission, it was determined this work is more properly funded in the procurement account. E-2 Series.--The Committee recommendation denies $3,420,000 requested for E-2C and C-2 cockpit instrument lighting. The Committee notes this request is an upgrade to existing cockpit lighting and is not urgently needed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom. C-130 Series.--Subsequent to the budget submission, the Committee was informed that $3,691,000 requested for KC-130T ALE dispensers is no longer a requirement. As a result, the Committee denies this request.

The C-17 has proven itself to be a reliable and capable aircraft meeting requirements for both strategic and intra-theater tactical airlift. In 2005, C-17s flew over 24,000 sorties, carrying over 228,000 passengers and lifting 265,000 tons of cargo. This airlift asset has proven invaluable in operations in the global war on terror, but at the cost of aging the equipment more rapidly than planned. The Committee is concerned that because of the heavy utilization supporting on-going operations, the planned inventory may not be sufficient to meet the current and future mobility needs of our armed forces and recommends $227,500,000 to fund advance procurement for additional aircraft procurement in fiscal year 2008.

Combat Engineer Equipment Up-Armoring Engineering Development.--The request includes $25,800,000 to develop add- on-armor [AoA] for construction engineer equipment deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The Committee is aware a large portion of this request would procure armor installation kits that is more appropriately funded in the ``Other Procurement, Army'' account. As a result, the Committee reduces the research and development request by $21,800,000 and addresses the armor purchase in the appropriate procurement account. Engineer Vehicle Upgrade.--The supplemental request includes funds to develop assault bridging capability for Heavy Brigade Combat Teams. In the Committee's view, this development effort is not an emergency requirement and should be financed through the annual appropriations process. The Committee, therefore, denies the request of $5,000,000. Biometrics.--The Committee is aware that the Defense Science Board is studying the management of the Department of Defense's biometrics program and will make recommendations on whether or not the current structure is meeting the needs of the warfighters dependent on the system in Iraq and in the Global War on Terror. The Committee directs that no management changes be made until the Defense Science Board completes its study and informs the Congress of its recommendations.

From within these funds, the Committee recommends $5,000,000 for agriculture and rural development programs in Afghanistan to be administered through a national consortium of agriculture colleges and land-grant universities. The Committee recommends $1,489,000,000 for assistance for Iraq for programs and activities to enhance and improve security, economic opportunities, and political stability for the people of Iraq. From within these funds, the Committee provides not less than $75,000,000 to USAID to continue its Community Action Program, a community reconstruction and development program that directly engages local Iraqi officials and civil society in democratic decision-making, of which not less than $10,000,000 is to be made available for the Marla Ruzicka Iraqi War Victims Fund. The Committee supports USAID's Iraq Civil Society Program, which strengthens civil society organizations, independent media, and anti-corruption efforts in Iraq. A vibrant civil society and free media are key to Iraq's democratic future, and the Committee directs that sufficient funds be made available for training and technical assistance to continue this successful program.

The Committee commends President Johnson-Sirleaf for her aggressive reform agenda (including a crackdown on corruption and development of a professional civil service) and her commitment to justice for crimes committed by Charles Taylor. The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for assistance for Jordan, a key ally in the Middle East, for programs to continue and accelerate economic and social reforms, including infrastructure development, vocational training and education. The Committee notes that additional assistance will enhance stability in the region. The Committee recommends an additional $35,000,000 for assistance for Haiti, and remains concerned with the myriad challenges facing that country. Of this amount, $10,000,000 is for programs to increase economic opportunities, $10,000,000 is for police reform, and $15,000,000 is for judicial and legal reforms. The Committee does not include $65,000,000 for democracy programs in Iran under this heading. The Committee fully funds the request for Iran under appropriate accounts in this bill.

The Committee recommends that these funds be allocated consistent with the following table: MIGRATION AND REFUGEE ASSISTANCE [In thousands of dollars] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Request Recommendation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Afghanistan............................. 3,400 7,400 Chad/Darfur humanitarian assistance..... 11,700 11,700 Southern Sudan repatriation............. 12,300 12,300 Liberia................................. 13,800 13,800 Refugee food aid........................ 10,000 20,000 Somalia................................. .............. 3,000 Horn and West Africa.................... .............. 10,000 DRC..................................... .............. 15,000 UNHCR................................... .............. 4,000 North Caucasus.......................... .............. 2,500 Colombia................................ .............. 2,500 North Asia.............................. .............. 3,000 Burma................................... .............. 5,000 ------------------------------- TOTAL............................. 51,200 110,200 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to address the urgent needs of refugees from Burma in Thailand.

ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS Sec. 1402. This provision clarifies that supervision and administrative costs of the Department of Defense associated with a construction project funded with IRRF funds may be obligated at the time a construction contract is awarded, or for pre-existing contracts, by September 30, 2006. AUTHORIZATION OF FUNDS Sec. 1403. This provision waives certain authorization requirements as there are no fiscal year 2006 foreign assistance and foreign relations authorization acts. PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY Sec. 1404. This provision modifies current restrictions on assistance to the Palestinian Authority [PA] contained in Section 550 of Public Law 109-102 by conditioning the availability of funds for the PA on a determination by the Secretary of State that the PA has acknowledged Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state, renounced violence, and accepted and is adhering to all previous diplomatic Agreements and understandings with the United States Government, the Government of Israel, and the international community. The Committee commends the State Department's review of assistance for the West Bank and Gaza, and requests to be consulted in a timely manner on proposed deviations, if any, from the fiscal year 2007 budget request. (RESCISSION) Sec. 1405. This provision rescinds $13,200,000 from funds appropriated under the heading ``Subsidy Appropriation'' for the Export-Import Bank of the United States that are available for tied-aid grants in Public Law 107-115 and prior Acts. SUDAN The Committee did not include a provision, as requested, that would allow funds made available for Sudan to be made available notwithstanding any other provision of law. CHAPTER 5 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS Office of the Secretary and Executive Management COUNTERINTELLIGENCE STUDY Within 30 days of enactment of this act, the Committee directs the Secretary, in consultation with the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on the adequacy of Federal Government counterintelligence at foreign ports. United States Coast Guard Operating Expenses 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $5,293,771,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 26,692,000 House allowance......................................... 26,692,000 Committee recommendation................................ 26,692,000 The Committee recommends $26,692,000, as requested, for the Coast Guard's share of the enhanced death gratuity benefit as authorized by section 664 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2006 (Public Law 109-163). The recommendation includes $500,000 to cover necessary upgrades to certain Coast Guard intelligence systems. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. CHAPTER 6 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MILITARY CONSTRUCTION Permanent Bases in Iraq.--The Committee noted in Senate Report 109-52, accompanying H.R. 1268, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005, requests for emergency military construction must be considered against two broad criteria before individual projects can be considered on their merits: ``whether the proposed spending is truly of an emergency nature, and whether the construction of permanent facilities (where proposed), rather than those of a more expeditionary nature, is appropriate.'' It is the current policy of the United States to establish no permanent military bases in Iraq. The United States has not proposed to change that policy, and there is not yet a formalized means by which Iraq can accept or reject such a proposal were it offered. Against this backdrop, and given the long-term nature of military construction, both in the time it takes to construct and the duration for which it lasts, the Committee recommends approval of only those requested projects that immediately support operations ongoing in Iraq, rather than those requests which propose a longer-term presence. While these projects may indeed be of military value, they intend a more permanent presence than is the policy of the United States. Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan.--The Air Force recently provided the Committee with a base master plan for Bagram Air Base. However, the Committee understands that NATO will soon begin operations out of Bagram, yet there is no mention of consultation with NATO in the Bagram Air Base master plan. Further, there is no mention regarding the level of expected NATO presence or NATO cost-sharing on the installation. Until these questions are fully answered, the base master plan, while much improved, is incomplete, and funding military construction projects within the limited confines of Bagram is premature. The Committee has not provided the requested authority for the Secretary of Defense to transfer military construction funds between appropriations. Military Construction, Army 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $1,737,761,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 413,400,000 House allowance......................................... 287,100,000 Committee recommendation................................ 214,344,000 The Committee recommends $214,344,000 for Military Construction, Army, which is $199,056,000 below the administration's request and $72,756,000 below the House allowance.

However, after discussion with Central Command officials, the Committee remains unconvinced that building an extensive new system of roadways which lack any force protection will achieve the shared goal of Central Command and the Committee to stop IED-related casualties. There are limited instances in which the Committee believes bypassing urban areas will provide the desired benefit, and the Committee has consequently recommended funding for these instances. Air Control Tower, Camp Taqaddum, Iraq.--The Committee understands this project is no longer needed. Therefore, no funds have been provided. Military Construction, Air Force 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $1,299,157,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 36,100,000 House allowance......................................... 35,600,000 Committee recommendation................................ 28,200,000 The Committee recommends $28,200,000 for Military Construction, Air Force, which is $7,900,000 below the administration's request and $7,400,000 below the House allowance.

For the Office of the Inspector General, the Committee recommends $445,000 for audits and investigations related to oversight of hurricane related activities. Agricultural Research Service SALARIES AND EXPENSES 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $1,130,654,000 2006 supplemental estimate..............................................

The Committee recommendation includes $6,000,000 for the immediate cleanup, salvage, and remediation of the Southern Regional Research Center [SRRC] in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Committee recommendation also includes $9,600,000 for expenses related to temporary duty assignments for ARS scientists working at the SRRC.

Committee recommendation................................ 5,000,000 The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for additional salaries and expenses incurred by the Farm Service Agency to respond to damages caused by hurricanes that occurred during the 2005 calendar year. EMERGENCY CONSERVATION PROGRAM 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $199,800,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 32,547,000 The Committee recommends $32,547,000 for the Emergency Conservation Program to respond to damages caused by hurricanes that occurred during the 2005 calendar year. Natural Resources Conservation Service EMERGENCY WATERSHED PROTECTION PROGRAM 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $300,000,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 10,000,000 House allowance......................................... 10,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 165,000,000 The Committee recommends $165,000,000 for the Emergency Watershed Protection Program to restore and rehabilitate watersheds in States affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Rural Development SALARIES AND EXPENSES 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $162,979,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 1,000,000 The Committee recommends $1,000,000 for additional salaries and expenses incurred by the Rural Development mission area to respond to damages caused by hurricanes that occurred during the 2005 calendar year. RURAL COMMUNITY ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $739,922,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 150,000,000 The Committee recommends $150,000,000 for the Rural Community Advancement Program account to respond to damages caused by hurricanes that occurred during the 2005 calendar year. The Committee is aware of the critical role community facilities played during the evacuations prompted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Several communities in the affected areas were compelled to rely upon make-shift facilities to house evacuees from neighboring counties and parishes. In providing assistance through the Community Facilities Grant Program, the Committee encourages the Secretary to consider the benefits of community facilities that can serve a dual use by also providing emergency housing or staging facility capacity during severe weather events and other emergencies. Food and Nutrition Service CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAMS The Committee commends the efforts of the Food and Nutrition Service [FNS] in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and notes that FNS permitted schools in hurricane affected areas to serve all meals free to attending children until February 28, 2006. However, the Committee is concerned that the extreme devastation to schools and communities in Hurricane Katrina affected areas has left many local schools without the ability to operate a normal accountability system as required by the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. Many of these schools suffered a complete loss of records, cafeteria facilities and food service equipment. Further, many of the residents of these areas are homeless, dislocated, and have lost all personal financial records.

Office of Justice Programs STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $385,691,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 10,000,000 The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance, for necessary costs incurred by hurricanes in the gulf coast region. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration OPERATIONS, RESEARCH, AND FACILITIES 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,748,092,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 21,000,000 House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 1,135,000,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,135,000,000 for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Operations, Research, and Facilities. The recommendation is $1,114,000,000 above the 2006 supplemental estimate. The Committee recommendation includes $30,000,000, to be equally divided among Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, for the Office of Coast Survey to conduct shipboard and autonomous underwater vehicle side scan sonar and multibeam mapping of fishing grounds to produce estimates of quantity and distribution of debris essential to refining cost estimates for the actual removal of debris. Included in this recommendation is funding for the Office of Response and Restoration to coordinate marine debris removal from tidal creeks, salt marshes, oyster beds, coastal wetlands, barrier islands, and the marine environment. In the wake of the numerous hurricanes of 2005, which greatly disrupted the water in the Gulf of Mexico, all previous mappings of those waters are now inaccurate. To date the only areas within the Gulf of Mexico that have been remapped are the vessel channels to allow for safe passage of ships coming in and out of the many ports along the Gulf of Mexico. The remainder of the Gulf of Mexico must also be mapped beginning with traditional fishing grounds in order to remove debris and begin the process of surveying stocks and reestablishing this element of the economy. It is also critical for the safety and security of our commercial and recreational fisherman that the fishing grounds are properly mapped in order to prevent catastrophic accidents from occurring during the upcoming fishing season. This appropriation will not cover complete mapping of all impacted gulf areas, but will provide sufficient funds to allow NOAA to obligate for contract surveys for the remainder of the 2006 survey season. The Committee recommendation includes $1,000,000 for the Coastal Services Center to produce multi-hazard maps to assist with rebuilding the Coastal Zone affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Prior to replacing the infrastructure along the Gulf of Mexico, new maps of water levels and hazards of storm surge must be produced to allow for fully informed decisions to be made regarding the best possible scenarios for rebuilding coastal communities. This analysis will use storm surge models, frequency, intensity and flooding risks to mitigate against future catastrophes caused by natural disasters. The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 for the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO- OPS) to establish Physical Oceanographic Reporting Systems (PORTS) along the Gulf of Mexico, like those currently installed in 13 port locations around the United States. Of the funds provided, $500,000 shall be for each of the Ports of Mobile, Alabama; Pascagoula and Gulfport, Mississippi; and New Orleans, Louisiana. PORTS provide access to accurate real-time water level data which allows U.S. port authorities and maritime shippers to make critical decisions regarding vessel routes in and out of harbors, maximize vessel tonnage and limit passage time. The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 for CO-OPS to repair and replace nine tide gauge stations in the northern Gulf of Mexico damaged during the hurricanes of 2005. The tide gauges are a critical component of our Nation's Water Level Observing Network needed to provide critical navigational and storm tide information throughout extreme weather events such as hurricanes. The gauges provide critical observations to NOAA forecasters to predict storm surges and issue maritime weather warnings and forecasts. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $15,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service to provide technical assistance to States and industry for oyster bed and shrimp ground rehabilitation, and continued surveys to examine seafood safety and abundance of species. Critical to rebuilding the commercial seafood industry in the Gulf of Mexico is cleaning and replacing oyster and shrimp grounds; monitoring toxic elements for potential contamination of shrimp, fish species and oysters; and abundance surveys to examine population recovery. The Committee recommendation includes $100,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service to provide technical assistance to States and industry for oyster bed and shrimp ground rehabilitation, debris removal and cleaning, and to prepare for spat fall by planting sufficient amounts of cultch. The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service and the National Ocean Service for its expertise to assist in rebuilding coastal communities, especially focusing on fisheries infrastructure, zoning to mitigate against future catastrophes and natural disasters, and building standards for coastal structures. The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the Gulf of Mexico Fisheries Management Council and the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission to help implement planning efforts that will lead to capacity and effort reductions in Federal and State waters. The Committee recommendation includes $15,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with industry groups to develop and implement a seafood promotion strategy for Gulf of Mexico fisheries. The Committee recommendation includes $15,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service retraining in coordination with the United States Department of Labor to coordinate and institute job for displaced fisheries workers into alternative occupations. The Committee recommendation includes $200,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in cooperation with the Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission to replace fishing gear damaged or lost in the hurricanes, and deploy advanced versions of turtle exclusion devices and by-catch reduction devices. The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with State Marine Fisheries Agencies, State Recovery Authorities, and National Sea Grant Program to develop temporary marine services centers to cluster docking facilities, fuel, ice and provisions, offloading, processing and distribution and marine repair facilities for seafood industries. The Committee recommendation includes $300,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the State marine fisheries agencies, State recovery authorities, and National Sea Grant Program for re-development of marinas, piers, docks, wharves and warehouses to support commercial and recreational fishing, and especially investments in public facilities supporting working waterfronts. The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the Economic Development Administration for planning and support for fishing-related marine industrial parks to cluster processing and marine support businesses in ways that increase access to key facilities and services, and enhance intermodal transportation of fishery products. The Committee recommendation includes $90,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the Economic Development Administration for replacement of private fisheries infrastructure other than vessels. The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service to implement rules where appropriate, and purchase and provide 1 year of associated fees to equip the off-shore shrimp and reef fish fishery with electronic vessel monitoring systems. The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service to equip federally permitted fishing vessels with electronic logbooks to record haul-by-haul catch data. The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service or 1 percent coverage of the shrimp and reef fish fisheries with at-sea observer coverage to document catch, by-catch and profitability of these fisheries, for 3 years. The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with State marine fisheries agencies, and the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Administration to develop and fund a cooperative research program to test various gears and to monitor the recovery of Gulf of Mexico fishery resources and fisheries. The Committee recommendation includes $100,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service and National Ocean Service in coordination with the Economic Development Administration and Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission for direct assistance to fishers and seafood workers to undertake cleanup activities and begin repairing damaged facilities. The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in cooperation with New England coastal States to assist shellfishermen in New England's coastal communities who suffered severe economic impact from last year's toxic red tide outbreak. The Committee recommendation includes $25,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service, National Ocean Service, and Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Administration to employ fishers and vessel owners in marine debris and living marine resource assessment activities.

Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $10,924,270,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 1,025,236,000 House allowance......................................... 775,236,000 Committee recommendation................................ 1,025,236,000 The Committee recommendation fully supports the administration's request of $1,025,236,000 for the Hurricane Katrina related cost impact on shipbuilding programs. The damage to the gulf coast region shipbuilding industrial base by Hurricane Katrina is unprecedented and has a direct impact on national security. Funding provided in this bill and previously provided in Public Law 109-148 provide resources to replace destroyed or damaged equipment, business disruption, and related shipyard workforce costs at gulf coast shipyards impacted by hurricanes in the gulf coast region in 2005. These funds also provides resources to replace contractor furnished equipment for other Navy ship programs damaged or destroyed at vendors located in this region and for associated overhead impacts resulting from equipment delivery delays. It is in the best interest of Department of the Navy and national security to restore compromised shipyard capability. Slow shipyard restoration causes significant risk of cost increases and delayed ship deliveries to the Navy whose fleet size is the smallest since World War I. It is also in the interest of the Navy and United States Government to ensure industry seeks reimbursement by insurance companies to the maximum extent. The Committee expects the shipbuilders to reimburse the Navy with any insurance receipts they receive for interruptions to their business caused by Hurricane Katrina or other hurricanes of the 2005 season to the extent payment for that item of damage was made with supplemental funding. The Committee expects the Navy or appropriate agency to have complete visibility into the insurance claim process to ensure no redundant funding is received.

INVESTIGATIONS 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $199,660,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 3,750,000 Funds totaling $3,750,000 are recommended subject to an official budget request, that includes designation of the entire amount as an emergency requirement, being transmitted by the President to the Congress. Of the total, $1,000,000 of the funding shall be used for Flood Plain Management Services to provide flood hazard and hydrologic investigations in flood prone areas of Hawaii; and $2,750,000 of the funding shall be used to accelerate the Delta Islands and Levees Feasibility Study to develop the Delta Risk Management Strategy. CONSTRUCTION 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,449,697,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 100,000,000 House allowance......................................... 100,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 122,850,000 The Committee is aware of the rapidly eroding coastline of south Louisiana. The wetlands surrounding the greater New Orleans metropolitan area operate as a natural buffer to lessen storm impacts, and are an important part of the overall storm damage reduction system. Nourishing and rebuilding these wetlands will increase the effectiveness of the levees and floodwalls of New Orleans. Therefore, the Committee has recommended bill language directing the Corps to use $122,850,000 at full Federal expense to reduce the risks of storm surge and storm damage to the greater New Orleans metropolitan area by restoring the surrounding wetlands, and to aid in the reduction of risk to both loss of life and damage to homes, businesses, and local infrastructure in the metropolitan area. The Corps is further directed to use these funds in the following manner: $10,000,000 to modify the Caernarvon Freshwater Diversion structure or its operations; $10,000,000 to protect the shoreline along Lake Borgne in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana; $15,000,000 to protect the shoreline and create marsh along Irish Bayou and Chef Menteur Pass in Orleans Parish, Louisiana; $15,000,000 to create marsh along the Rigolets in Orleans and St. Tammany Parishes, Louisiana; $25,000,000 to create marsh in the Golden Triangle in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes, Louisiana; $15,000,000 to restore the ridge along Bayou La Loutre in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana; and $10,000,000 to protect the shoreline along the Barataria Basin Landbridge in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. Additional funds of $22,850,000 are recommended subject to an official budget request for a specific dollar amount that includes designation of the entire amount as an emergency requirement, being transmitted by the President to the Congress. Of the funding recommended, $20,850,000 is recommended for the following projects to mitigate the flood threat to the Sacramento, California, metropolitan area. These contingency funds should be distributed as follows: --$6,250,000 to accelerate the South Sacramento Streams, California Project. --$11,300,000 to accelerate construction of the Sacramento River Bank Protection Project, California. --$3,300,000 to accelerate the American River (Common Features), California project. Of the funding recommended, $2,000,000 at full Federal expense, is recommended for the Hawaii water systems technical assistance program (including technical studies of ditch and water supply systems, as identified by the State of Hawaii) to provide planning and technical analysis relating to the Kaloko and Morita Reservoir dams and other high hazard facilities, as identified by the State. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,296,627,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 4,700,000 Funds totaling $4,700,000 are recommended, subject to an official budget request, that includes designation of the entire amount as an emergency requirement, being transmitted by the President to the Congress. The funding shall be used to restore navigation channels and harbors to pre-storm conditions and to repair flood damage reduction and other projects in States affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. The funding provided is based on Corps of Engineers' estimates of the requirements for the Texas Gulf Coast. The Committee expects the funds provided herein shall be expended substantially in accordance with those estimates. FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,277,965,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 1,360,000,000 House allowance......................................... 1,360,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 2,001,500,000 The Committee understands that additional funds will be needed to provide 100 year level of protection for the New Orleans Metropolitan area. The Administration has briefed members of Congress that this may require as much as an additional $6,000,000,000, but has not transmitted any request for additional funding to the Committee. The Committee notes that this 100 year level of protection is a regulatory requirement pertaining to flood insurance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency and that the estimates to support this number are preliminary. Contained within the fiscal year 2006 Energy and Water Conference Report is funding for the Army Corps of Engineers to carryout studies to determine this higher level of protection and the interim results are due in June 2006. Additionally, the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force report is also due by June 2006. The Committee expects that this report will describe the results of the forensic examination for the levee failures as well as describe the overall condition of the entire levee system and any weaknesses therein. Before the Committee can provide additional funding for the levee system in South Louisiana, it is critical that the Administration provide a definitive request, including a more rigorous accounting of needs than has been provided thus far. Funds totaling $2,001,500,000 are recommended to continue repairs to flood and storm damage reduction projects. These projects are to be funded at full Federal expense. The Committee has recommended $530,000,000 for construction of closures and pumping plants at the 17th Street, Orleans, and London Avenue Canals. Within the funds recommended, the Corps is expected to remove the existing pumping stations at the heads of the three canals and perform necessary work to realign the sumps with the new pumping stations at the mouths of the canals. The Committee is concerned about the interim pumping capacity the Corps is proposing at the temporary closures on the 17th Street, Orleans and London Avenue drainage canals. In particular, the Committee is concerned that the interim pumping capacity for the 17th Street Canal is proposed to be roughly one-fourth of the capacity of the existing number 6 pumping station on the canal. The Committee directs that the Corps provide adequate temporary pumping capacity to evacuate expected flows from the existing pumping stations in the three drainage canals in order to minimize interior flooding. The Committee recommendation recommends $170,000,000 for levee armoring. The Committee has increased this amount in order to allow the Corps to better strengthen the levee system at transition points as well as in areas that face direct attack from wave action. The Committee recommends $350,000,000 to construct navigable closures, one near Seabrook on the Industrial Canal and the other on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway west of its confluence with the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet. The Committee recommendation includes $60,000,000 for incorporation of non-Federal levees on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish in order to provide improved storm surge protection and to protect evacuation routes. The Committee rcommends $250,000,000 for storm proofing interior pump stations to ensure their reliability during hurricanes, storms and high water events. The Committee has been informed that funds requested under this account are insufficient to fully fund the items requested or other emergency needs. Additional funds of $641,500,000 are recommended subject to an official budget request for a specific dollar amount that includes designation of the entire amount as an emergency requirement, being transmitted by the President to the Congress. These contingency funds should be distributed as follows: --$190,000,000 is provided for closures and pump stations for the three interior drainage canals. The Committee understands that the increase is due to refinements to the cost estimates and an increase in the project scope. Some of the additional funds would be used to remove the existing pumping stations and realign the drainage canals to direct interior flows to the new pump stations rather than having to pump the water twice within a few miles on the canal to evacuate the drainage water to Lake Ponchartrain. --$20,000,000 is provided for the navigable closures on the Industrial Canal and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The Committee understands that additional funds are needed due to refinements of the cost estimates for these structures. --$30,000,000 is provided for repairs to non-Federal levees in Terrebonne Parish. The Committee understands that these local levees were damaged by the effects of Hurricane Rita. The Committee believes that repairs to these levees should be undertaken at Federal expense. This is consistent with the treatment of the non- Federal levees in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and Plaquemines Parishes as proposed and funded in the third disaster supplemental. --$160,000,000 is provided to incorporate the West Bank non- Federal levee in Plaquemines Parish. The Committee understands that this is the current estimate to increase the levee height to provide storm surge protection. The large increase is due to the poor soil conditions in the area. --$94,000,000 is provided to incorporate the East Bank non- Federal levee in Plaquemines Parish. Incorporation of this levee was not included in the 2006 supplemental estimate however; the Committee believes it is prudent to include this levee as well. The Committee notes that terminal facilities for the Port of Plaquemines are located throughout these leveed areas and that this port facility is the eleventh busiest port in the Nation handling nearly 56,000,000 tons of cargo in 2003, the latest year for which statistics are available. Further, the Committee understands that much of the support services and workers for the off-shore oil and gas industry are concentrated in Plaquemines parish as well as other significant infrastructure. --$130,000,000 is provided for additional levee armoring. The Committee is very concerned that the previous estimates for levee armoring given by the Administration were well over $600,000,000. The Committee recognizes that the original estimate may have been based on armoring all the levees and the current estimate is only for selected transition areas. However, the Committee believes the current request is much too low. The Committee believes that not only transition areas need to be protected, but those levees that are going to face direct attack from long-period ocean waves should also be armored. --$17,500,000 shall be used to restore previously appropriated emergency funds for 13 flood protection projects damaged in previous disasters in Brockway; Brookville; Burgettstown; Canonsburg; James G. Fulton Chartiers Creek; Leetonia; Meyersale; Millvalle; New Kensington; Saw Mill Run Pittsburgh; Sykesville; Tarentum; and Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania. Funds for these projects were withdrawn shortly after Katrina struck the Gulf Coast to address immediate needs. Previous supplemental appropriations have not been directed to repay these reprogrammed funds in order to make these storm repairs. CHAPTER 5 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Office of Inspector General 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $82,187,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 13,500,000 House allowance......................................... 13,500,000 Committee recommendation................................................ The Committee does not approve the $13,500,000 request to make additional funds available to the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General for transfer to Inspectors General in the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, Labor, Transportation; the Environmental Protection Agency, the General Service Administration, and the Social Security Administration. If appropriate, additional amounts are made available directly to the Inspector General of these Federal departments and agencies. Customs and Border Protection SALARIES AND EXPENSES 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $4,802,190,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................... 12,900,000 Committee recommendation................................ 12,900,000 The Committee recommends an additional $12,900,000 for Customs and Border Protection [CBP] expenditures related to the consequences of Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. This funding will provide for repair and replacement of critical information technology equipment and other property lost due to the hurricanes, and relocation costs for employees of the New Orleans laboratory. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. The Committee is aware that CBP intends, within available funds, to co-locate its marine operations offices at the Coast Guard facility in Gulfport, Mississippi. CONSTRUCTION 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $277,700,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 16,000,000 House allowance......................................... 4,800,000 Committee recommendation................................ 4,800,000 The Committee recommends an additional $4,800,000 for Customs and Border Protection [CBP] expenditures related to the consequences of Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. This funding will provide for build-out costs, replacement items, and other tenant improvements to rebuild CBP structures. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. United States Coast Guard OPERATING EXPENSES (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS) 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $5,293,771,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 7,350,000 House allowance......................................... 14,300,000 Committee recommendation................................ 90,570,900 The Committee recommends $90,570,900, an increase of $83,220,900 above the amount requested. The total recommended shall be allocated as follows: $7,350,000 for cleanup and repair of damaged facilities; $7,400,000 for increased temporary logistics costs; $3,483,900 for the increased cost of basic housing allowances; $1,600,000 for the evacuation costs of members and dependents; $70,000,000 for costs incurred by the rise in energy prices; up to $267,000 for transfer to the ``Environmental Compliance and Restoration'' appropriation for removal of contaminated soil at Coast Guard facilities in Gulfport and New Orleans; and up to $470,000 for transfer to the ``Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation'' appropriation for additional costs to reposition the vessel, State of Maine, at the Fire Safety and Test Detachment after its grounding. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $1,130,382,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 62,160,000 House allowance......................................... 80,755,000 Committee recommendation................................ 191,844,000 The Committee recommends $191,844,000, an increase of $129,684,000 above the amount requested, for repair and major reconstruction of facilities damaged by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Of the total recommended, $7,000,000 is for the relocation of the Gulfport Coast Guard Station, $80,914,000 is for the repair and reconstruction of the New Orleans Integrated Support Command Center, and $103,930,000 is for Katrina-related costs associated with material, equipment, facilities, and labor. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. Federal Emergency Management Agency The Committee recognizes all the work the White House, the Department of Homeland Security [DHS], the Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], the Government Accountability Office [GAO], and the DHS Inspector General have done in reviewing and analyzing the Federal response to Hurricane Katrina. These investigations have put forth many recommendations intended to strengthen the way the Federal Government prepares and responds to natural and man-made disasters. The Committee is concerned the Federal Government will not have ample time to review and implement these recommendations prior to the upcoming hurricane season, which begins in June 2006. It is imperative DHS implement changes that can be done easily and without the need for additional resources prior to June 1, 2006. The DHS Preparedness Directorate and FEMA are to brief the Committee, no later than May 30, 2006, on the differences in the preparedness, response, and recovery system as of May 2006 in comparison to a year ago. DHS is also expected to inform the Committee on the funding associated with implementing the recommendations listed in ``The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina Lessons Learned''. ADMINISTRATIVE AND REGIONAL OPERATIONS 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $236,228,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 70,000,000 House allowance......................................... 70,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 71,800,000 The Committee recommends $71,800,000, an increase of $1,800,000 from the amount requested, for ``Administrative and Regional Operations.'' Of the total amount recommended, $70,000,000 is provided for the reconstruction and improvement of existing public alert, warning and crisis communications systems in the gulf coast and $1,800,000 is provided for additional personnel needed in the Office of National Security Coordination. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. The Committee understands there are numerous vacancies and ``acting'' individuals in senior leadership positions in FEMA's Regional Offices and Headquarters. The Committee believes strong permanent leadership is vital for carrying out FEMA's mission. The Committee expects FEMA to fill these positions with well-qualified individuals as quickly as possible. PREPAREDNESS, MITIGATION, RESPONSE, AND RECOVERY 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $202,017,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 5,000,000 House allowance......................................... 10,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 10,000,000 The Committee recommends $10,000,000, an increase of $5,000,000 from the amount requested for ``Preparedness, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery'' for ongoing recovery efforts in response to Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Of the total amount recommended, $5,000,000 is provided for additional personnel; $1,500,000 is provided for a logistics management system; $2,000,000 is provided for the pre-positioned essential equipment program; and $1,500,000 for the disaster claims system. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. Additional Personnel.--The Committee recommendation includes $5,000,000 for FEMA to hire 60 full-time equivalents [FTEs]. The Committee recognizes the urgency in FEMA being adequately staffed and the difficulty the agency faces attracting and hiring well-qualified professionals. FEMA is to brief the Committee, no later than May 30, 2006, on the hiring initiatives to meet its staffing requirements and its staffing plan. Logistics Management System.--The Committee understands FEMA lacks technology and information management systems which are critical to track shipments and manage inventories. The Committee is disappointed there is no funding requested for strengthening this aspect of FEMA. Included in the total amount recomended is $1,500,000 for FEMA to begin to bring its logistic management system into the 21st century. Obligation of this funding is available once the FEMA is to submit an expenditure plan to the Committee prior to the obligation of these funds. Pre-positioning Essential Items/Equipment.--The Committee is concerned with FEMA's reliance on other Federal agencies for the procurement and supply of essential items and equipment, including satellite communications. It is difficult for other Federal agencies to stockpile supplies for FEMA. An example of this is the Department of Defense's inability to provide additional Meals-Ready-To-Eat after Hurricane Katrina because of a limited supply left in the War Reserve Stockpile. FEMA is to brief the Committee, no later than May 30, 2006, on its procurement plan for essential items and equipment, including satellite communications. This plan should include how FEMA is working with both Federal agencies and the private industry to ensure ample supplies are available to meet future disaster needs. Disaster Claims System.--Both the DHS Inspector General and GAO have conducted several audits and investigations on the assistance provided to individuals and households as a result of Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. These audits found weaknesses in the processes FEMA utilizes to review registration for disaster relief and approve assistance payments. The Committee is disappointed no funding is requested to strengthen the claims process. The Committee understands FEMA is developing an Enterprise Content Management System to enhance its claims processing capacity. The Committee provides an additional $1,500,000 for this purpose. Obligation of this funding is available once the Secretary submits an expenditure plan to the Committee. Contracting.--GAO's report on ``Agency Management of Contractors Responding to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita'' found problems with the implementation of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act preference for utilizing contractors residing or doing business in the affected areas. The Committee believes the use of these contractors is important for revitalizing local economies in the gulf coast. FEMA is encouraged to issue additional Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act guidance to clarify how to determine if the company was in the affected area prior to the disaster and how preferences can be applied in the contract process. Mass Evacuation.--The Committee recognizes there were many problems evacuating individuals with disabilities and severe medical conditions before and after Hurricane Katrina. Although evacuation planning should be conducted by States, the White House report ``The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina Lessons Learned'' recommends the Federal Government have a coordinated plan to evacuate this population when States are overwhelmed. DHS, in consultation with the Department of Transportation and the Department of Health and Human Services, is to provide a report by June 30, 2006 on the Federal plan to identify and evacuate special needs populations. The report is to incorporate efforts already underway by DHS as required by Public Law 109-90. Assessing Emergency Response.--After Hurricane Andrew tore through southern Florida in 1992, Congress asked the National Academy of Public Administration (the Academy) to conduct a comprehensive and objective study of the Federal, State, and local government's capacity to respond promptly and effectively to major natural disasters. In February 1993, the Academy issued the study report, ``Coping with Catastrophe: Building an Emergency Management System to Meet People's Needs in Natural and Manmade Disaster.'' The Committee believes many of the recommendations made in this report are still practical, relevant, and applicable to the responses to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma as well as other disasters. The Academy's 1993 findings and recommendations related to the role, organization, and operation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency should be reexamined, particularly after the incorporation of FEMA into the Department of Homeland Security. The Committee is also interested in a review of the Department's overall organizational structure as it relates to preparedness, mitigation, emergency response and recovery and the pros and cons of these functions being separated among components of the Department. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to use the section 504 authority in Public Law 108-334 to provide $750,000 for the purpose of contracting with the National Academy of Public Administration for such a review. This notification is to be submitted to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 30 days from the date of enactment of this act and the funds to be made available to the Academy to begin the study within 30 days of approval. DISASTER RELIEF 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $1,752,300,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 9,400,000,000 House allowance......................................... 9,548,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 10,600,000,000 The Committee recommends $10,600,000,000 for the Disaster Relief Fund [DRF]. Included in this amount is the $9,400,000,000 requested by the President for the following: $2,000,000,000 for on-going individual and housing assistance needs; $5,000,000,000 for State/local infrastructure repair, grant and mitigation assistance; and $2,400,000,000 for other needs, including, FEMA mission assignments, on-going debris removal and other response requirements. An additional $1,200,000,000 is made available to carry out section 2503 of this chapter. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. Housing Policy.--The Committee continues to be frustrated with the lack of a housing policy for the gulf coast. It is critical a comprehensive housing policy be developed immediately so appropriate resources can be provided for this region. The Committee is encouraged FEMA is working with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to assist States and local entities with their housing plans. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit an expenditure plan for housing prior to the obligation of DRF funds for this purpose. DISASTER ASSISTANCE DIRECT LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT 2006 appropriation to date \1\.......................... $561,000 2006 supplemental estimate \2\.......................... 301,000,000 House allowance \2\..................................... 151,000,000 Committee recommendation \2\............................ 301,000,000 \1\ Administrative expenses only. \2\ Includes $1,000,000 for administrative expenses. The Committee recommends an additional $301,000,000 to subsidize up to $400,000,000 in direct loans for the Community Disaster Loan program, including $1,000,000 for the administrative costs of this program. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY Sec. 2501. The Committee recommends bill language, as requested, authorizing FEMA to pay for utility costs for those leases negotiated by State and local entities on FEMA's behalf. NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE FUND Sec. 2502. The Committee recommends bill language amending the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-90) to allow the National Flood Insurance Fund to pay such sums as necessary, not to exceed $1,000,000,000, for interest on the amount the program has borrowed from the Treasury to pay claims associated with Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. HOUSING PILOT PROGRAMS Sec. 2503. The Committee recommends bill language allowing the Secretary of Homeland Security to consider eligible for funding the costs of alternative housing pilot programs in the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. CHAPTER 6 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR United States Fish and Wildlife Service CONSTRUCTION 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $75,216,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 132,400,000 House allowance......................................... 132,400,000 Committee recommendation................................ 132,400,000 The Committee recommends $132,400,000 for construction, including cleanup and facility repair needs at National Wildlife Refuges, related to the consequences of Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. National Park Service HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUND 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $72,172,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 3,000,000 House allowance......................................... 3,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 83,000,000 The Committee recommends $83,000,000 for historic preservation needs. Of these funds, $3,000,000 is for financial assistance to State Historic Preservation Offices in States that were damaged by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. These funds will assist the States in completing reviews under section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The remaining $80,000,000 shall be used to establish a grant program to facilitate the repair of thousands of historic structures that were damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. These funds may be used to make grants for the preservation, stabilization, rehabilitation, and repair of historic houses and designated ``Main Street'' commercial properties listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and for planning and technical assistance. CONSTRUCTION 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $332,858,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 55,400,000 House allowance......................................... 55,400,000 Committee recommendation................................ 55,400,000 The Committee recommends $55,400,000 for construction, including immediate cleanup and facility repair needs at National Parks, related to the consequences of Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Within the amount provided, the Committee encourages the Park Service to provide funding for the purchase of a boat to replace the World War II era landing craft vessel now in use at Gulf Islands National Seashore. In the aftermath of recent hurricanes, a much greater workload has significantly increased the stress on the current boat, which has already far exceeded its expected useful life. The new vessel would be used to transport personnel, equipment, supplies and materials for cleanup and reconstruction projects in both the Mississippi and Florida Districts of the Seashore. United States Geological Survey SURVEYS, INVESTIGATIONS, AND RESEARCH 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $970,645,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 10,200,000 House allowance......................................... 10,200,000 Committee recommendation................................ 10,200,000 The Committee recommends $10,200,000 for surveys, investigations, and research for facility and equipment repair needs related to the consequences of Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season and for repayment of advances to other appropriation accounts from which funds were transferred for such purposes.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Environmental Programs and Management 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,346,711,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 6,000,000 House allowance......................................... 6,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 6,000,000 The Committee recommends $6,000,000 for environmental programs and management for increased environmental monitoring, assessment, and analytical support necessary to protect public health during the ongoing recovery and reconstruction efforts related to the consequences of Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $79,953,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 7,000,000 House allowance......................................... 7,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 7,000,000 The Committee recommends $7,000,000 for the leaking underground storage tank program to assess the most immediate underground storage tank needs in areas affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season and to initiate appropriate corrective actions. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Forest Service NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $1,423,392,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................... $20,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ $20,000,000 The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for the national forest system for necessary expenses of debris cleanup and related activities on National Forests affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. CHAPTER 7 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Employment and Training Administration TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $5,242,466,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 32,500,000 The Committee recommendation includes $32,500,000 for construction and renovation of Job Corps centers damaged by hurricanes of the 2005 season. Of this amount, $27,000,000 is for reconstruction of the Gulfport, Mississippi Job Corps center, and $5,500,000 for the New Orleans, Louisiana Job Corps center. The House did not consider this recommendation, for which there was no budget request. The Committee rejects the administration's proposal to rescind $75,000,000 of appropriations for construction and renovation of Job Corps centers. The Committee expects the Department of Labor to make these funds available immediately for Job Corps facilities and expansion activities. Departmental Management OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $71,101,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 2,000,000 The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 for the Department of Labor Inspector General to support audits and investigations related to Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. The House included these funds as part of the appropriation to the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security, as proposed by the administration. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Health Resources and Services Administration HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $6,563,364,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 6,000,000 The Committee recommendation includes $6,000,000 for Community Health Centers to establish a communications network among Community Health Centers, the Departments of Health and Major Medical Centers in States affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Funds are also provided for satellite phones and other communications equipment. The administration did not request funds for this activity. During Hurricane Katrina, a large portion of the public health infrastructure in Mississippi was destroyed. Providing health care services to survivors and evacuees was severely hampered because no phone services or other communications devices were available to coordinate care. The funds recommended by the Committee would set up a communications network and provide satellite phones and other communications equipment to provide prompt health care in the event of future disasters. The Committee expects these funds to be distributed by June 30, 2006 so that systems can be in place early in the hurricane season. Where they exist, State associations representing community health centers should be the primary recipients of these funds and coordinate distribution to other entities. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention DISEASE CONTROL, RESEARCH, AND TRAINING 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $5,901,085,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 20,000,000 The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000, to be available until expended, for mosquito and other pest abatement activities in States affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. The Committee notes that mosquito and other insect activity in storm-damaged areas of the gulf coast has gone beyond the level of nuisance and is now a public health hazard that could lead to the spread of infectious diseases. Office of the Secretary OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $39,415,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance.........................................................

These funds are available for obligation until September 30, 2007. The House bill, H.R. 4939, included $13,500,000 for the Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General which may be transferred to the Education Department's and other specified Federal Inspectors General, as proposed by the administration. HURRICANE EDUCATION RECOVERY 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $1,600,000,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 880,000,000 The Committee recommends $200,000,000 to carry out section 2701 of this Act, which establishes an Education Relief Loan Program for eligible postsecondary educational institutions. These funds are available until expended. The administration did not request funds for this purpose, nor were any funds included in House bill, H.R. 4939, for this reason. The Committee recommendation includes an additional $300,000,000 for Temporary Emergency Impact Aid for Displaced Students, as authorized by section 107 of title IV, division B of Public Law 109-148. The House bill, H.R. 3949, did not include any funds for this purpose, nor did the administration request any funds for this activity. Together with the $645,000,000 provided in Public Law 109-148, these resources will reimburse schools for the additional costs they incurred educating students displaced by the gulf hurricanes. The Committee recommendation includes an additional $350,000,000 for the Temporary Impact Aid program authorized in the Hurricane Education Recovery Act. These funds are available until expended. The Committee recommendation includes an additional $30,000,000 under the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education for grants to institutions of higher education impacted by the Gulf hurricanes of the 2005 calendar year. RELATED AGENCIES Corporation for National and Community Service NATIONAL AND COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS, OPERATING EXPENSES (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS) 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $899,959,000 2006 supplemental estimate..............................................

Of the funds provided, $561,000,000 shall be for a replacement Veterans Affairs Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana and $62,000,000 shall be for the disposal and cleanup of the land associated with the VA's medical facilities in Gulfport, Mississippi. The Committee is supportive of the VA's request to replace the damaged VA Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Committee previously appropriated $75,000,000 for planning and design associated with the construction of a new medical facility in New Orleans. Subsequent to the appropriation of $75,000,000, the VA transmitted to the Congress a report on reestablishing a VA Medical Center in New Orleans. As part of this report, the VA estimated a total of $636,000,000 as the cost for accomplishing this goal. The recommendation in this supplemental brings total funds appropriated for the construction of a new medical facility to $636,000,000, thus fully funding the project. However, the Committee is concerned about future flood risk for any new facility constructed in the New Orleans floodplain. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Department to explore all options for the future site of the replacement medical center and must take into account the probability of flooding before a final decision is made or location is chosen. The construction of the new medical center should be designed to withstand future hurricanes. The Committee also encourages the Department to establish an affiliation with another medical facility and/or current affiliations and consider constructing a shared facility. However, the Committee cautions the Department not to enter into an agreement where the VA pays for more than its share in the name of collaboration. The Committee recommendation also includes $62,000,000 for the land disposal environmental cleanup and debris removal of the Gulfport, Mississippi VA Medical Center. The attached bill directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to transfer the property associated with the VA's medical facility to the city of Gulfport, Mississippi and includes $50,000,000 to compensate the VA. Before any such transfer may take place, the VA shall undertake an environmentally cleanup of the property. The Committee recommendation includes $12,000,000 for this purpose. The Committee recommendation does not include a general provision, proposed in the supplemental request, to provide the Department of Veterans Affairs with the authority to transfer $122,000,000 of previously appropriated funds from the ``Veterans Health Administration-Medical Services'' account to other accounts in the Department. The Committee recommendation does, however, include language making available until expended the $198,625,000, originally provided in Public Law 109-148. In addition, the Committee has provided the Department transfer authority for these funds. RELATED AGENCY Armed Forces Retirement Home (MAJOR CONSTRUCTION) 2006 appropriation to date.............................................. 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ $176,000,000 The Committee recommends $176,000,000 for major construction for the Armed Forces Retirement Home--Gulfport, Mississippi (AFRH--Gulfport, Mississippi), $176,000,000 above both the administration's request and the House allowance. The Committee appreciates the heroic perseverance of the Armed Forces Retirement Home residents and staff in Gulfport, Mississippi, and Washington, DC, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Further, the Committee understands its obligation to the residents of the Home, veterans who sacrificed much for the United States and performed nobly when called to duty. These veterans deserve nothing less than the average citizen receiving aid from the Federal Government in the aftermath of this disaster. They deserve the firm assurance of their Government that they will be allowed to return home as soon as possible. Therefore, the Committee has provided additional funding, to be combined with prior unobligated balances, which shall be used to construct a new multi-building, campus-style facility on the site occupied by the former AFRH--Gulfport, Mississippi. This facility will allow the residents to be fully reintegrated into the Gulfport community while still providing for the facility to be a component of the master plan for the gulf coast as it rebuilds. This plan will also allow the continued close relationship between AFRH--Gulfport, Mississippi and the Seabees at NCBC Gulfport, Mississippi, who provided critical assistance to the residents of AFRH--Gulfport, Mississippi during and after Hurricane Katrina. GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER MILITARY CONSTRUCTION (WAIVER OF LIMITATION) Sec. 2801. The Committee recommendation includes a provision that waives the limit on the amount of Federal funds that can be provided for Army National Guard readiness center projects appropriated in this chapter. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS (INCLUDING RESCISSION AND TRANSFER OF FUNDS) Sec. 2802. The Committee includes a provision making the funds previously appropriated under Public Law 109-148 available until expended and allows the VA to reprogram these funds between accounts as required. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS LAND TRANSFER Sec. 2803. The Committee includes a provision directing the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to transfer the title of the land associated with the VA's medical facility in Gulfport, Mississippi to the city of Gulfport, Mississippi. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS NEW ORLEANS AND BILOXI MEDICAL FACILITIES Sec. 2804. The Committee includes a provision allowing the Department of Veterans Affairs to purchase land and construct medical facilities in New Orleans, Louisiana and Biloxi, Mississippi. ARMED FORCES RETIREMENT HOME (TRANSFER OF FUNDS) Sec. 2805. The Committee includes a provision transferring past unobligated balances into the Armed Forces Retirement Home ``Major Construction'' account. CHAPTER 9 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Highway Administration EMERGENCY RELIEF PROGRAM 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,750,000,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee Recommendation................................ 594,000,000 The Committee recommends an additional $594,000,000 to carry out emergency relief [ER] projects for which a formal request has been submitted to the Federal Highway Administration [FHWA] and which are included in the current FHWA ER backlog table, and for projects that are currently being considered for inclusion in the FHWA ER backlog program. The committee notes that the recent catastrophic failure of the Kaloko Reservoir Dam on the Island of Kauai, HI resulted in substantial damage to the Kuhio Highway. As a result, funds have also been included in this account to cover the current estimates for the repair of the Kuhio Highway. Federal Transit Administration EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION 2006 appropriation to date.............................................. 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ $200,000,000 The Committee recommends $200,000,000 in additional funds for grants to State and local governmental entities directly affected by Hurricane Katrina for expenses related to emergency response and recovery of public transportation equipment, facilities, and services, as determined by the Secretary of Transportation. Under this account, the Secretary may waive Federal matching share requirements or any other statutory Federal transit program requirement, as the Secretary determines. The Secretary may also allow urbanized areas that he determines to have been directly affected by Hurricane Katrina and having a population of 200,000 or greater to use Federal transit funds for operating assistance as well as capital projects to facilitate response and recovery. The Secretary's authority under this section shall expire 2 years after the date of enactment of this section, unless otherwise determined by the Secretary for a compelling need. Federal Railroad Administration CAPITAL GRANTS FOR RAIL LINE RELOCATION 2006 appropriation to date.............................................. 2006 supplement estimate............................................... House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ $700,000,000 The Committee recommends $700,000,000 for the Rail Line Relocation Capital Grant program in order to mitigate damage to this important link to transport commerce in the gulf coast region. These funds would be used to relocate tracks that are currently located along the coast of Mississippi and provide a connection within the footprints of tracks farther north and outside the scope of any anticipated hurricane danger. In particular, the Committee is concerned with the movement of commerce and the safety of citizens in the gulf coast region as a result of the effects of Hurricane Katrina and the risks posed by future hurricanes. The damaged railroad line is a major east and west freight corridor adjacent to the Mississippi gulf coast. It is vitally important to numerous Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama industries and essential to the successful operations of major Gulf of Mexico ports. The rail line in Mississippi sustained major damage and total destruction in some areas as a result of Hurricane Katrina's powerful winds and water surges: eleven bridges were destroyed, more than 38 miles of track were a complete loss, signaling and safety systems were demolished, and many track beds were completely washed out along the rail corridor. As a result of Hurricane Katrina, the rail line was out of commission for 143 days and has since re-opened only on a temporary basis. Even prior to Katrina, residents, business leaders, and local and State officials seriously considered relocating the rail line inland from its present location to alleviate burgeoning traffic and safety concerns. Gridlock and traffic congestion associated with the railroad continually worsened as the region's tourism industry grew. Along Mississippi's gulf coast alone, there are 170 grade crossings, and risks to motorists and pedestrians have increased exponentially as development has occurred. From January 2000 to August 2005, 90 grade crossing accidents involving trains were reported to the Federal Railroad Administration. RAILROAD RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $54,524,000 2006 supplement estimate................................................ House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................................ Deployment of Safety Overlay Technology.--Within the amounts made available for the deployment of railroad safety overlay technology made available in the conference agreement accompanying Public Law 109-115, the Committee expects that funds shall be allocated for the purpose of deploying train control technology for which the FRA is currently considering a product safety plan. This initiative should build upon an existing train control demonstration project to which the FRA has contributed funding and which has successfully demonstrated train control overlay technology in freight revenue service. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Public and Indian Housing TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $16,310,000,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 202,000,000 House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 202,000,000 The Committee recommends $202,000,000 in additional funds for section 8 tenant- and project-based rental housing assistance. The administration proposed the same funding level solely for vouchers. These funds, however, will help cover any shortfalls in rental contracts supported by section 8 funds appropriated under Public Law 109-148 (December 30, 2005) to assist previously assisted HUD tenants in obtaining housing. In addition, no less than $100,000,000 of the funds made available under this heading are to be used to provide project-based assistance for the repair, rebuilding, and other needs of assisted housing damaged by Katrina and the other hurricanes of the 2005 season in the gulf. These funds will help expedite the preservation of the stock of low-income housing in the gulf. In addition, these funds may also be used to subsidize new tax credit projects where these projects are replacing destroyed or obsolete project-based housing or where low-income housing needs are greatest. The Committee directs HUD to report to the Committees on Appropriations every 6 months from the date of enactment on the use of project-based assistance under this account. The Committee understands that the impacted States have developed plans to address the needs of the most vulnerable citizens--namely, people with disabilities, the elderly, and the homeless. For example, one State has adopted a plan to create permanent supportive housing for people with special needs as part of its broader rental housing rebuilding strategies. Accordingly, the Committee urges the Department to work with the States in addressing the needs of the disabled, the elderly, and the homeless, and directs the Secretary to submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 180 days after the date of enactment of this act on the States' efforts in addressing these needs. Community Planning and Development COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS) 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $14,532,000,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 4,200,000,000 House allowance......................................... 4,200,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 5,200,000,000 The Committee recommends $5,200,000,000 in CDBG funds for disaster relief, long-term recovery, and restoration of infrastructure in the most impacted and distressed areas related to the consequences of Katrina and the other hurricanes of 2005 in the Gulf of Mexico. The administration proposed $4,200,000,000 solely for Louisiana. Because other States still have significant disaster-related needs, the Committee has included $5,200,000,000. In particular, Mississippi still has significant needs that will not be adequately addressed through the earlier appropriation. No State may use more than 5 percent of amounts allocated for administrative costs directly associated with administering these funds. The Committee directs that no less than $1,000,000,000 of the amounts appropriated under this heading be used for repair, rehabilitation, and reconstruction (including demolition, site clearance, and remediation of the low-income affordable housing stock, including HUD-assisted housing and public housing). None of the impacted States have focused adequately on low-income housing and the needs of low-income families. The Committee also expects that any State receiving CDBG funds under this account will use no less than the pro-rata share of those funds for low-income housing. The Committee includes $12,000,000 for the HUD Office of the Inspector General to ensure the IG has adequate resources to address fraud and abuse as well as provide adequate accountability for the use of CDBG funds throughout this region. The Committee notes, that while the Department can waive the requirement that 50 percent of all funds be used to benefit low- and moderate-income persons, HUD has never waived this requirement and can do so only for a compelling need. The Committee considers this a substantial requirement and does not expect such a waiver as a practical matter. In addition, CDBG funds may only be released where a State submits a detailed plan on how the funds will be used to address long-term recovery and the restoration of infrastructure. HUD has the burden to ensure the plan gives priority to these needs as well as to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the affordable rental housing stock, including public housing and HUD-assisted housing. The Committee believes that some may have unrealistic expectations of how CDBG funds can be used. For example, CDBG funds cannot generally be used for public safety and homeland security, uncompensated care and mental health services, the reimbursement of educational services, and social services and emergency services. These activities and needs are within the purview of other subcommittees and other programs. Any analysis of need should be balanced to include an assessment of any public benefit which may have accrued in certain areas because of a disaster such as the increased rental of housing units and increased employment. INDEPENDENT AGENCY General Services Administration FEDERAL BUILDING FUND 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $8,084,666,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 37,000,000 House allowance......................................... 37,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 37,000,000 The Committee recommends $37,000,000 to continue to support the short- and long-term repair and alterations of buildings damaged by the hurricanes of 2005, the same as the administration request. Federal buildings throughout the gulf coast received significant wind and water damage with estimated repair and alteration costs far in excess of GSA's ability to absorb these costs. These funds will pay for the clean up and repair work that is necessary to make these facilities safe and fully functional. TITLE III EMERGENCY AGRICULTURAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Commodity Credit Corporation Fund EMERGENCY AGRICULTURAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE The Committee recommends $3,944,000,000 for emergency agricultural disaster assistance. These funds will help farmers and ranchers in States affected by recent hurricanes, drought, flood, wildfire, and other natural disasters recover from resulting production losses. These funds will also assist in the removal of debris from watersheds in order to minimize the threat of flooding from future storm events. In addition, the funds will provide economic assistance to producers to compensate for high energy costs relating to agricultural production. TITLE IV DROUGHT EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS DROUGHT ASSISTANCE Sec. 4001. The Committee recommendation includes $5,000,000 for the Corps to provide drought assistance to affected areas of the country, particularly in the southwestern states. BUREAU OF RECLAMATION DROUGHT ASSISTANCE Sec. 4002. The Committee recommendation includes $7,500,000 for the Bureau of Reclamation to provide drought assistance. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION Sec. 4003. The Committee recommendation includes an emergency designation for the funds in the title. TITLE V PORT SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION Salaries and Expenses The Committee recommends an additional $266,050,000. Of this amount: $31,790,000 is to hire sufficient additional Supply Chain Security Specialists to triple the current number of specialists involved with conducting inspections and validations of Customs and Trade Partnership Against Terrorism participants; $211,000,000 is to purchase additional non- intrusive inspection equipment for U.S. seaports and rail border crossings and to hire additional officers to operate the equipment and conduct additional cargo container inspections; and $23,260,000 is to hire an additional 50 Customs and Border Protection inspectors for deployment to overseas Container Security Initiative [CSI] ports and to double the number of CSI intelligence specialists in support of the CSI mission. UNITED STATES COAST GUARD Operating Expenses The Committee recommends an additional $23,000,000 to hire Coast Guard inspectors to validate security plans at domestic and foreign ports. OFFICE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS State and Local Programs The Committee recommends an additional $227,000,000 for port security grants to address known risks. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Research, Development, Acquisition, and Operations The Committee recommends an additional $132,000,000 to accelerate completion of radiation portal monitor deployments at U.S. seaports in order to screen 100 percent of inbound containers. TITLE VI PANDEMIC FLU DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Office of the Secretary PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES EMERGENCY FUND 2006 appropriation to date.............................. $3,360,027,000 2006 supplemental estimate.............................................. House allowance......................................................... Committee recommendation................................ 2,300,000,000 The Committee recommendation provides $2,300,000,000, to be available until expended, for the Department of Health and Human Services Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund to prepare for and respond to an influenza pandemic. The Committee notes that this appropriation will fulfill the second year's funding for pandemic influenza activities as originally requested by the administration. Appropriating these funds at this time enables long-term plans developed by the department and pharmaceutical manufacturers to be based on actual appropriations. The Committee recommendation includes bill language designating $300,000,000 for building State and Local Capacity; $50,000,000 for laboratory capacity and research at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]; and at least $200,000,000 for the CDC to carry out global and domestic disease surveillance, laboratory capacity and research, risk communication, laboratory diagnostics, rapid response and quarantine. The balance of the funds provided are available to support, at the Secretary's discretion, other core preparedness activities, such as expanding the domestic production capacity of influenza vaccine, developing and stockpiling pandemic vaccine, and stockpiling antivirals and other medical supplies necessary to protect and preserve lives in the event of an outbreak of pandemic influenza. The Committee directs the Secretary to provide on a semi- annual basis to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees a report identifying the disbursements of funds received under this heading and a listing of the governments, companies and organizations that received funding. The report should include the amount and purpose of each grant or other form of assistance. Finally, the report should include the cumulative obligations by activity of the funds made available under this heading for pandemic preparedness, as well as any remaining unobligated balances. TITLE VII GENERAL PROVISIONS AND TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS Sec. 7001. The Committee recommends a provision that limits the availability of the funds provided in this supplemental to the current fiscal year unless expressly provided otherwise. OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION Sec. 7002. The Committee includes a provision authorizing funds to be used for a study related to forensic sciences. NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION SCIENCE, AERONAUTICS AND EXPLORATION ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION Sec. 7003. Bill language is included regarding the Mitchell Institute. SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION Sec. 7004. Bill language is included clarifying the Small Business Administration grant related to Las Vegas, Nevada. INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES Sec. 7005. The Committee recommendation includes a provision deeming funds appropriated or made available by transfer in this Act for intelligence activities be authorized by Congress. OFFICE OF ECOMONIC ADJUSTMENT--DEFENSE Sec. 7006. The Committee recommendation includes a provision making a technical correction to section 8044 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006 regarding the Office of Economic Adjustment. INVESTIGATIONS, LOUISIANA HURRICANE STUDY COST SHARING Sec. 7007. The Committee has recommended a provision that states that the funds provided in division B, chapter 3, Investigations, of Public Law 109-148 are not subject to any non-Federal cost sharing requirement. MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES Sec. 7008. The Committee has recommended a provision that further defines the activities that can be undertaken in division B, chapter 3, Flood Control, Mississippi River and Tributaries, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee, of Public Law 109-148. MISSISSIPPI RIVER-GULF OUTLET Sec. 7009. The Committee has recommended a provision that modifies a provision in division B, chapter 3, Operations and Maintenance, of Public Law, 109-148, concerning activities that can be undertaken along the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet. SHORE PROTECTION Sec. 7010. The Committee has included a provision to extend the duration through September 30, 2006 and increasing the cost limitation to $25,000,000 for section 227 of Public Law 104-303 in order to allow funds appropriated in the fiscal year 2006 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act to be utilized for continuing projects. RECLAMATION STATES EMERGENCY DROUGHT RELIEF ACT OF 1991 Sec. 7011. The Committee has included a provision extending the Drought Relief Act through 2010. REPROGRAMMING OF FUNDS Sec. 7012. The Committee has included a provision clarifying the availability of funds for the purposes of reprogramming actions. BONNEVILLE POWER AUTHORITY Sec. 7013. The Committee has included a provision that prohibits the use of any funds in fiscal year 2006 through April 1, 2007 to initiate a rate case. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS) Sec. 7014. The Committee recommends rescinding $3,960,000 from the Office of Screening Coordination and Operations [SCO]. The Committee notes that 5 months into the fiscal year the SCO has not been established. Rather than establish another new office for departmental integration, the Committee recommends the funding for the SCO be made available to the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management for the Office of Policy. The Office of Policy was established to integrate polices across the Department and is capable of developing a unified strategy for screening, developing coordinated screening policies, overseeing screening programs, and establishing unified standards. The additional $3,960,000 recommended will allow the Office of Policy to carry out these functions or other priorities. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR--U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Sec. 7015. The Committee recommends $500,000 for the U.S. Geological Survey's Hydrologic Networks and Analysis Program to provide assistance with conducting assessments of critical reservoirs and dams on the Island of Kauai, Hawaii, including reservoir level instrumentation, post flood hydraulic assessments, and monitoring of dam structures using light detection imagery. SURFACE MINING CONTROL AND RECLAMATION ACT Sec. 7016. This section extends the authority of the Secretary of the Interior to collect fees pursuant to the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act until September 30, 2007. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR--OFFICE OF JOB CORPS Sec. 7017. The Committee recommends a general provision which prohibits the Department of Labor from carrying out Secretary's Order 09-2006. This Order, to establish the Office of Job Corps as an independent agency within the Department of Labor as mandated by Congress, instead fragments authority to other offices, contrary to the intent of the law. The Committee directs the Secretary to immediately transfer the Office of Job Corps intact, retaining all its staff, functions, and authorities. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR--MINE SAFETY Sec. 7018. The Committee has included an additional $25,600,000 to supplement the inspection of coal mines. This funding is intended to hire additional FTE's to enforce the relevant provisions of the Mine Safety and Health Act and regulations pertaining to that act. The Committee does not intend for this funding to supplant current enforcement activities. While this money shall be available for 2 years to give the Mine Safety and Health Administration the time to hire and train additional personnel, it is expected that the Mine Safety Health Administration will rapidly hire and train 217 additional FTEs for the coal mine inspection teams. The Committee recommendation includes bill language requiring the Secretary to submit progress reports on hiring to the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate on a quarterly basis, with the first report due June 15, 2006. CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL--MINE SAFETY Sec. 7019. The Committee has included an additional $10,000,000 for research to develop mine safety technology. In particular, the Committee directs that the funding be used for mine rescue chambers, emergency tracking, breathing and communication devices. The Committee is aware that significant advances have been made in the fields of communications, robotics, chemistry and other sciences that can be brought to bear on mine safety. For that reason, the Committee is eager that grants be made to institutions that routinely partner on these types of research with other Federal agencies such as the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Energy. The Committee recommendation includes bill language requiring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to submit progress reports on grant-making and research findings to the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate on a quarterly basis, with the first report due June 15, 2006. LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE The Committee recommendation strikes the general provision in the House bill amending section 9001 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, allowing $750,000,000 in fiscal year 2007 funds to be obligated in fiscal year 2006. Subsequent to House action, Public Law 109-204 provided $1,000,000,000 for this program, bringing the total available for fiscal year 2006 to $3,161,170,000. RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD Sec. 7020. The Committee recommendation includes a new general provision making a technical correction regarding the Dual Benefits Payments Account. HEADSTART REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE DATE Sec. 7021. The Committee recommendation includes a new general provision extending the effective date for enforcement of Head Start transportation regulations. CAPE CANAVERAL AIR STATION, FLORIDA The Committee agrees that of the funds made available in the Military Construction, Military Quality of Life, and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-114), the funds provided for the ``Satellite Processing Operations Support Facility'' at Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida, may be used for the ``Satellite Alert Facility'' at Cape Canaveral Air Station. MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATION Sec. 7022. The Committee recommendation includes a provision increasing authorization for a military construction project in Georgia. MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATION Sec. 7023. The Committee recommendation includes a provision increasing authorization for a military construction project in Hawaii. MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATION Sec. 7024. The Committee recommendation includes a provision authorizing the purchase of land in North Carolina. DETAIL AUTHORITY FOR DOT Sec. 7025. The Committee includes a provision that permits the Department of Transportation's Office of Intelligence, Security, and Emergency Response to assess and enter into certain reimbursable agreements with the modal administrations for services necessary to carry out emergency preparedness or emergency response activities The provision also authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to detail modal administration employees to the Office of Intelligence, Security, and Emergency Response without reimbursement and for fixed periods of time as necessary to carry out emergency preparedness or emergency response activities with reports to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on these details. EMERGENCY HIGHWAY FUNDS Sec. 7026. The Committee includes a provision that replaces the funding cap for the repair and reconstruction of the I-10 bridge spanning New Orleans and Slidell, Louisiana from $629,000,000 to $803,000,000. LIMITATION ON CERTAIN TRANSPORTATION ACTIONS Sec. 7027. While the Committee has not specifically addressed the issue of foreign control of U.S. airlines as proposed by the Department of Transportation, the Committee believes that the U.S. aviation industry is part of our critical infrastructure as are the ports. For this reason, it is critical that any final rule regarding foreign control of U.S. airlines not only comply with current laws regarding foreign ownership, but also comply with statutes recently passed by the Congress which require that all U.S. airlines be under the ``actual control'' of U.S. citizens. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Transportation to refrain from issuing a final rule for 120 days. The Committee is seriously concerned about the promulgation of any rule which would allow any minority foreign investor to exercise control or decision making authority over any aspect of a U.S. carrier operation. DOJ AND TREASURY FUNDING FOR INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES Sec. 7028. The Committee includes a provision authorizing the use of funds appropriated for intelligence activities for the Departments of Justice and Treasury during fiscal year 2006 until the enactment of the Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2006. FUNDING FOR TREASURY TRAVEL Sec. 7029. The Committee has included a technical correction to Public Law 109-115 related to travel for the Department of the Treasury's Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence and the Office of International Affairs. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES CORRECTIONS Sec. 7030. The Committee includes a provision that makes a number of technical corrections to EDI grants. GSA TRANSFER OF PROPERTY Sec. 7031. The Committee includes a provision that transfers certain lots of real property to the City of Crosby, North Dakota from GSA. This property was determined to be no longer needed for a Homeland Security purpose and will be reconveyed to the original owner upon enactment of this legislation. COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 17, RULE XVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports accompanying general appropriations bills identify each recommended amendment which proposes an item of appropriation which is not made to carry out the provisions of an existing law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or resolution previously passed by the Senate during that session.
