The activities of this appropriation provide for the collection, compilation, analysis, and publication of a broad range of current economic, demographic, and social statistics.

Current Economic Statistics.—These programs provide public and private sector data users with relevant, accurate, and timely national statistical profiles of every sector of the U.S. economy to enable governments and businesses to make informed decisions. In 2021, the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis will continue to build a Federal Data Service that supports research and increased partnership with third-party data providers to accelerate data innovation and solve complex data challenges.

Current Demographic Statistics.—These programs conduct surveys and data analyses to provide social and economic information on monthly, quarterly, and annual bases that policymakers and others need to make effective policy and program decisions. Building on research in 2020 on improving current U.S. poverty measurement methods and indicators, the Current Demographic Statistics programs will conduct research in 2021 on financially sustainable collection methods or alternative sources of comparable data on the economic well-being of Americans and program participation. Additionally, the Census Bureau will continue to implement operational and methodological efficiencies to several surveys and programs, while preserving the fundamental social and economic data that inform effective public and private decision-making.

State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).—Mandatory appropriations are provided by the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children's Health Insurance Program Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999. The program is designed to support data collection by the Current Population Survey (CPS) on the number of low-income children who do not have health insurance coverage. Data from this enhanced survey are used in the formula to allocate funds to States under the SCHIP program.

This appropriation funds legislatively mandated periodic economic and demographic censuses and other authorized activities. Major programs include the periodic economic programs (including the five-year economic census and census of governments), the American Community Survey, and the decennial census. In addition, other programs provide bureau-wide geographic information and data collection and dissemination systems.

Periodic Economic Programs.—The Periodic Economic Programs include the Economic Census and the Census of Governments. These programs are integral to the Bureau of Economic Analysis' estimates of gross domestic product, industry inputs and outputs, and the economic activities of more than 90,000 State and local governments. Together, these programs measure the structure and functioning of the U.S. economy. In 2021, the Census Bureau will finalize the last releases related to the 2017 Economic Census, while efforts will shift to planning, development, and monitoring activities related to the 2022 Economic Census and Census of Governments.

Decennial Census.—As 2020 ends, the 2020 Census will enter a final, critical phase. In 2021, the Census Bureau will release data for apportionment and redistricting. Additionally, several significant field operations will still be ongoing at the start of 2021. Coverage and quality operations, including the post-enumeration survey, will independently measure the accuracy of the 2020 Census. Nearly 147 million housing unit responses will continue through processing, editing, disclosure avoidance, storage, and preparation for publishing. With a focus on data quality, security, and confidentiality, rigorous processes will ensure the 2020 Census data is secure and ready to be tabulated, aggregated, and presented to the public. After operations end, the massive coordination of people, IT, and infrastructure necessary to conduct the 2020 Census will begin the complex process of ramping down. Field and office staff will be released, Area Census Offices will be closed, and devices and equipment will be decommissioned. As the operational need for the 52 systems of the 2020 Census ends, they will transition to their post-2020 Census state.

Pursuant to the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, Congress provided $6.696 billion in 2020 to support the Decennial Census, including $669 million dedicated towards Secretarial contingency needs that may arise during the Census operation such as major disasters or other unforeseen risks realized, and $263 million in additional sensitivity risks to support additional pay increases and any reduction in self-response rates beyond the current projections of the Census Bureau. However, the Budget does not anticipate that these funds will be needed in 2020, and the schedules above reflect that. If these funds are needed due to an unexpected increase in costs, these funds will remain available to—and be used by—the Census Bureau to carry out its constitutional mandate.

The American Community Survey (ACS), part of the Decennial Census Program, provides current demographic, social, economic, and housing information about America's communities, from the largest cities to the smallest rural communities. The ACS, supported by a complete and accurate address system, has simplified the census design resulting in improvements in both coverage and data quality, while providing current data on detailed population, social, economic, and housing characteristics.

Geographic Support.—The Geographic Support program provides address lists and supports partnerships with all levels of government and geographic areas, geospatial data products, and associated processing systems needed to meet the geographic requirements of all Census Bureau programs, including the 2020 Census. In 2021, the Census Bureau will launch the Frames initiative, which will integrate full count data on persons, places, and the economy for streamlined use by all Census Bureau surveys, censuses, and official products.

Enterprise Data Collection & Dissemination Systems.—The objective of the program is to support major data collection, processing, and dissemination systems for the Census Bureau's censuses and surveys. In 2021, the Census Enterprise Data Collection and Processing program will transition to the Data Ingest and Collection for the Enterprise program to support data collection for Census Bureau censuses and surveys. The program will focus on minimizing redundancy associated with multiple data collection systems and platforms that support different modes of collection and ingestion, including commercial and administrative datasets. With the decommissioning of the American Fact Finder, the Center for Enterprise Dissemination Services and Consumer Innovation will deliver all data products for the 2020 Census data, the American Community Survey, the Economic Census, and other major programs. Additionally, the Census Bureau will expand efforts to provide disclosure protection, improve data analytics and accessibility by preserving historical information and metadata about censuses and surveys, and modernize data storage and data analysis capabilities across all of its directorates through the Enterprise Data Lake. The Census Bureau will establish an enterprise-wide capability to expand the use of administrative records to improve sample survey operations, data quality, and data products and continue to support the Administrative Records Clearinghouse in providing the Federal government with increased capacity to make data-driven decisions about critical programs and provide transparency about program effectiveness.

The Working Capital Fund finances, on a reimbursable basis, functions within the Census Bureau that are more efficiently and economically performed on a centralized basis. The Fund also finances reimbursable work that the Census Bureau performs for other public, including Federal, and private entities.

The Budget includes a proposal to transfer up to $208 million in unobligated balances from prior year appropriations in the Periodic Censuses and Programs account to the Census Bureau's Working Capital Fund. These funds would be used to reconfigure the Census Bureau's headquarters at the Suitland Federal Center in order to accommodate the proposed relocation of the Bureau of Labor Statistics to the site, to support the proposed move of the Census Bureau's National Processing Center, and to replace generators that provide emergency power to the Census Bureau's Bowie Computing Center. These balances would be transferred only to the extent that they are not needed for 2020 Census operations.

Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).—BEA, a principal Federal statistical agency, promotes a better understanding of the U.S. economy by providing timely, relevant, and accurate economic data in an objective and cost-effective manner. BEA's national, industry, regional, and international economic statistics present crucial information on key issues such as U.S. economic growth, regional economic development, inter-industry relationships, and the Nation's position in the world economy. These key statistics provide a comprehensive picture of the U.S. economy and affect decisions related to interest and exchange rates, tax and budget projections, and business investment plans. The statistics are used by Federal, State, and local governments for budget development and projections and to support the allocation of over $400 billion in Federal funds. The statistics are also used by the American public to follow and understand the performance of the Nation's economy. Some of the Bureau's widely used statistical measures include gross domestic product (GDP), personal income and outlays, corporate profits, balance of payments, GDP by state, GDP by industry, and county-level GDP. BEA also publishes sector specific statistics on areas such as outdoor recreation and arts and culture. Additionally, BEA and the Census Bureau will continue to build a Federal Data Service that supports research and increased partnership with third-party data providers to accelerate data innovation and solve complex data challenges. BEA's strategic vision is to remain the world's most respected producer of economic accounts.

The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment and to conserve and manage coastal and marine resources to meet our Nation's economic, social, and environmental needs.

NOAA executes programs and activities to achieve its mission through seven line activities:

National Ocean Service (NOS).—NOS programs work to promote safe navigation; assess and restore the health of coastal and marine resources; improve coastal communities' resilience to extreme weather events, climate hazards, and changing ocean conditions and uses; and conserve the coastal and ocean environment.

National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).—NMFS programs provide for the management and conservation of the Nation's living marine resources including fish stocks, marine mammals, and endangered species and their habitats within the United States Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).—OAR programs provide climate, weather, air chemistry, ocean and coastal research and technology with applications across NOAA's mission. To accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of scientists in its Federal research laboratories, universities, and cooperative institutes and partnership programs.

National Weather Service (NWS).—NWS programs provide timely and accurate meteorological, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings and forecasts to ensure the safety of the population, minimize property losses, and improve the economic productivity of the Nation.

National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS).—NESDIS operates polar orbiting and geostationary satellites, and collects and archives global environmental data and information for distribution to private and public sector users.

Mission Support.—Mission Support provides management and administrative support for NOAA, including acquisition and grant administration, budget, accounting functions, and human resources.

Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO).—OMAO provides aircraft and marine data acquisition, fleet repair and maintenance, and operations that provide technical and management support for NOAA-wide activities.

Funds collected under this authority are deposited into the Limited Access System Administrative Fund. Fees shall not exceed three percent of the ex-vessel value of fish harvested under any such program, and shall be collected at either the time of the landing, filing of a landing report, or sale of such fish during a fishing season or in the last quarter of the calendar year in which the fish is harvested. The Limited Access Administration Fund shall be available, without appropriation or fiscal year limitation, only for the purposes of administering the central registry system and administering and implementing the Magnuson-Stevens Act in the fishery in which the fees were collected. Sums in the fund that are not currently needed for these purposes shall be kept on deposit or invested in obligations of, or guaranteed by the U.S. Also, in establishing a LAP program, a Regional Council can consider, and may provide, if appropriate, an auction system or other program to collect royalties for the initial or any subsequent distribution of allocations. If an auction system is developed, revenues from these royalties are deposited in the Limited Access System Administration Fund.

The Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund account was established in 2000 to augment State, tribal, and local programs to conserve and restore sustainable Pacific salmon populations and their habitats. Through 2019, over $1.4 billion has been provided to the States of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Idaho and to the Pacific Coastal and Columbia River Tribes to conserve salmon. The Budget does not provide funding for this program, but provides continued support for the science and technical assistance programs necessary to inform salmon recovery.

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

Section 311(e)(1) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to pay certain enforcement-related expenses from fines, penalties and forfeiture proceeds received for violations of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, or of any other marine resource law enforced by the Secretary. Pursuant to this authority, NOAA has established a Civil Monetary Penalty/Asset Forfeiture Fund (AFF) where proceeds are deposited. When Congress authorized the AFF it was deemed appropriate to use these proceeds to offset in part the costs of administering the enforcement program. Expenses funded through this source include: costs directly related to the storage, maintenance, and care of seized fish, vessels, or other property during a civil or criminal proceeding; expenditures related directly to specific investigations and enforcement proceedings such as travel for interviewing witnesses; enforcement-unique information technology infrastructure; and annual interagency agreement costs for the administration, adjudication process, including Administrative Law Judges.

The complex process of transferring customs duties receipts from the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to the Department of Commerce (DOC) to partially fund fishery activities is neither transparent to the public nor consistent with general federal budgeting practices. In the place of customs receipts and to increase transparency, the Budget proposes to directly appropriate funding to DOC. These funds will be provided to DOC without further appropriation and are available for the same purposes as previous receipt-funded activities. Within DOC, an initial $184 million will be provided to the Promote and Develop program in 2021, equal to the level of funding that would otherwise have been provided by USDA, and adjusted annually in future years. The Administration will formalize these changes through a legislative proposal to be transmitted at a later date. This request is part of a broader reform proposed for USDA's Section 32 program.

The Fishermen's Contingency Fund is authorized under Section 402 of Title IV of the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act Amendments of 1978. NOAA compensates U.S. commercial fishermen for damage or loss of fishing gear, vessels, and resulting economic loss caused by obstructions related to oil and gas exploration, development, and production in any area of the Outer Continental Shelf. The funds used to provide this compensation are derived from fees collected by the Secretary of the Interior from the holders of leases, exploration permits, easements, or rights-of-way in areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. This activity is funded entirely through user fees. Disbursements can be made only to the extent authorized in appropriation acts.

Fishery disaster assistance is administered by NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service within the Department of Commerce. Two statutes, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the Interjurisdictional Fisheries Act, provide the authority for fishery disaster assistance. Under both statutes, a request for a fishery disaster determination is generally made by the Governor of a State, or an elected leader of a fishing community, although the Secretary of Commerce may also initiate a review at his or her own discretion. The Secretary determines whether the circumstances are consistent with relevant statutes and warrant a fishery disaster determination. If the Secretary determines that a fishery disaster has occurred, Congress may appropriate funds for disaster assistance, which are administered by the Secretary.

NOAA intends to revise its procedures to provide greater clarity and improve consistency with respect to the process of requesting a fishery disaster declaration. These changes will accelerate the timeline for making disaster determinations and establish guidelines for administering awards. The issues to be considered include, but are not limited to, deadlines, incentives for recipients to carry insurance, required documentation of loss, cost sharing by states, other available financial assistance, eligible uses, and prioritization of the long term sustainability of the affected fishery. The changes under consideration will accelerate the Department's responsiveness to fishery disaster requests, help get appropriated funds distributed to affected communities in a more timely manner, and contribute to the long term environmental and economic sustainability of the fishery.

In 2013, the North Pacific Observer Fund was established to support the restructured North Pacific Groundfish Observer Program (NPGOP). The observer program places all vessels and processors in the groundfish and halibut fisheries off Alaska into one of two observer coverage categories: (1) a full coverage category, and (2) a partial coverage category. Vessels and processors in the full coverage category (100% observer coverage) will obtain observers by contracting directly with observer providers. Vessels and processors in the partial coverage category (less than 100% observer coverage) will no longer contract independently with an observer provider, and will be required to carry an observer when they are selected through the Observer Declare and Deploy System (ODDS). Additionally, landings from all vessels in the partial coverage category will be assessed a 1.25 percent fee on standard ex-vessel prices of the landed catch weight of groundfish and halibut to be deposited in the North Pacific Observer Fund. The fee percentage is set in regulation and will be reviewed periodically by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council. The money generated by this fee will be used to pay for observer coverage on the vessels and processors in the partial coverage category in the following year.

The Damage Assessment and Restoration Revolving Fund is authorized under Section 1012(a) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, for the deposit of sums provided by any party or governmental entity to respond to the environmental effects of discharges of oil and other hazardous substances. Through the Revolving Fund, NOAA retains funds that are recovered through settlement or awarded by a court for the assessment and restoration of injured natural resources. NOAA also ensures deposited funds shall remain available to the trustee, without further appropriation, until expended to pay costs associated with the response, damage assessment, and restoration of natural resources.

These program functions are conducted jointly within NOAA by the Office of General Counsel, the National Ocean Service, and the National Marine Fisheries Service.

The Fisheries Finance Program (FFP) is a national loan program that makes long-term fixed-rate financing available to U.S. citizens who otherwise qualify for financing or refinancing of the reconstruction, reconditioning, and, in some cases, the purchasing of fishing vessels, shoreside processing, aquaculture, and mariculture facilities. The FFP also provides fishery-wide financing to ease the transition to sustainable fisheries through its fishing capacity reduction programs and provides financial assistance in the form of loans to fishermen who fish from small vessels and entry-level fishermen to promote stability and reduce consolidation in already rationalized fisheries. Additionally, FFP can provide loans for fisheries investments of Native American Community Development Quota groups.

The FFP operates under the authority of Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as amended; Section 303(a) of the Sustainable Fisheries Act amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Act; and, from time to time FFP-specific legislation. The overriding guideline for all FFP financings is that they cannot contribute or be construed to contribute to an increase in existing fish harvesting.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. NIST is authorized by the NIST Organic Act (15 USC 271), which outlines major roles for NIST in promoting national competitiveness and innovation. For more than 110 years, NIST has maintained the national standards of measurement, a role that the U.S. Constitution assigns to the Federal Government to ensure fairness in the marketplace. NIST was founded in 1901 and is one of the nation's oldest physical science laboratories. Today, the NIST Laboratory Programs work at the frontiers of measurement science to ensure that the U.S. system of measurements is firmly grounded on sound scientific and technical principles. The NIST Laboratories address increasingly complex measurement challenges, ranging from the very small (quantum devices for sensing and advanced computing) to the very large (vehicles and buildings), and from the physical infrastructure to the virtual (cybersecurity and the internet of things). As new technologies develop and evolve, NIST's measurement research and services remain critical to national defense, homeland security, trade, and innovation.

NIST's Industrial Technology Services (ITS) appropriations account consists of two extramural programs:

1. Manufacturing USA: Manufacturing USA, previously referred to as the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation, serves to create effective robust manufacturing research infrastructure for U.S. industry and academia to solve industry-relevant problems. The Manufacturing USA consists of linked Institutes for Manufacturing Innovation with common goals, but unique concentrations. In an institute, industry, academia, and government partners leverage existing resources, collaborate, and co-invest to nurture manufacturing innovation and accelerate commercialization. The Budget proposes to initiate a second NIST-funded Manufacturing USA institute while discontinuing dedicated Federal funding to the first institute.

2. Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP): The Budget request proposes to discontinue Federal funding for the MEP program.

The Budget proposes: (1) to create a Federal Capital Revolving Fund (FCRF) to fund large-dollar, federally owned, civilian real property capital projects; and (2) provide specific budget enforcement rules for the FCRF that would allow it to function, in effect, like State and local government capital budgets. The FCRF will be housed in the General Services Administration (GSA). This proposal incorporates principles that are central to the success of capital budgeting at the State and local level—a limit on total funding for capital investment, annual decisions on the allocation of funding for capital projects, and spreading the acquisition cost over 15 years in the discretionary operating budgets of agencies that purchase the assets.

The Budget proposes to use the FCRF concept to fund the renovation of NIST's Building 1 in Boulder, Colorado, estimated to be $294 million. In accordance with the principles and design of the FCRF, the Budget requests appropriations language designating NIST's renovation as a project to be funded out of the FCRF along with 1/15 of the estimated purchase price, or $19.6 million, for the first year repayment back to the FCRF.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is the principal Executive Branch adviser on domestic and international telecommunications and Internet policy. NTIA also manages the Federal Government's use of the radio frequency spectrum and performs extensive research in telecommunication sciences. The Budget: (1) continues to provide spectrum assignment and analysis support to Federal agencies; (2) supports NTIA's responsibilities under the Spectrum Pipeline Act of 2015 and MOBILE NOW Act (2018) to help identify additional federal spectrum to be shared or reallocated for commercial use. NTIA will continue with its efforts through BroadbandUSA to improve the nation's understanding of broadband availability by implementing its broadband availability data mapping initiative. Through online, regional workshops, and in-person technical assistance, BroadbandUSA will also continue to promote partnerships among state, municipal, non-profit, and private-sector organizations in support of deployment of new community broadband systems through proven solutions that resolve problems with broadband planning, financing, construction, and operations.

The Budget proposes to increase the Domestic and International Policies Program to fund NTIA's growing efforts to oversee, mitigate, and manage supply chain risks to our nation's telecommunications infrastructure. This will enable NTIA to drive and support the nation's efforts to promote and protect our economic and national security in the fast approaching 5G environment.

This Budget includes an increase in Spectrum Management Programs to support the agency's efforts in the modernization of its spectrum IT systems, resulting in advanced automation tools; improved data accuracy and transparency; and spectrum efficiency evaluation tools. Improved analytical precision will enable NTIA and Federal agencies to, among other things, identify new spectrum sharing arrangements that are more attractive and valuable to commercial entities.

The Budget also proposes an increase to fund NTIA's spectrum research for 5G and other evolving advanced communications innovations. This funding will enable NTIA to execute advanced engineering algorithms; to improve data security and availability; to develop a robust, spectrum usage measurement programs; and to design a spectrum efficiency program to promote and incentivize the best possible and most efficient use of spectrum.

The Budget proposes to establish a new Program, Project, or Activity (PPA) for Public Safety Communications to provide the critical leadership and support for the coordination, interoperability, transition, and technical resources for our nation's public safety agencies in their adoption and implementation of advanced communications technologies.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 created the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) to ensure the building, deployment, and operation of the nationwide public safety broadband network. FirstNet is an independent authority within the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Administration and is overseen by a 15-member Board comprised of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General of the United States, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, as well as 12 members that have public safety expertise, represent the interests of states, localities, tribes, and territories and/or have technical, network or financial expertise. The First Responder Network Authority (FRNA) account reflects funds that FirstNet is authorized to collect to reinvest into the network, enhance public safety communications, and manage FirstNet operations. Incoming funds that are shown in the budget schedule represent funds that FirstNet will collect for use of spectrum licensed to FirstNet. Activities not supported through the FRNA account are either supported through the Public Safety Trust Fund or the Network Construction Fund.

The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (the Act) created the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and directed that up to $7 billion of auction proceeds be used to support the establishment of a nationwide, interoperable public safety broadband network. Resources in this account have primarily funded FirstNet's and NTIA's public safety activities with some support for public safety communications research and Next Generation 911 (NG911) activities.

The amounts presented in the budget schedules for 2021 reflect funding for NTIA's implementation and a small portion of FirstNet's administrative costs. In 2021, FirstNet's activities will be focused on the continued transition to the First Responder Network Authority account with only a minimal activity remaining in the Public Safety Trust Fund. This account will expire September 30, 2022.
