THE BUDGET DOCUMENTS

Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 2006
contains the Budget Message of the President, information on the
President’s budget and management priorities, and budget overviews
organized by agency.
Analytical Perspectives, Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal Year 2006 contains analyses that are designed to highlight specified subject areas or provide other significant presentations
of budget data that place the budget in perspective. This volume
includes economic and accounting analyses; information on Federal
receipts and collections; analyses of Federal spending; detailed information on Federal borrowing and debt; baseline or current services
estimates; and other technical presentations.
The Analytical Perspectives volume also contains a CD–ROM with
several large tables previously published in the budget documents,
along with summaries of new performance assessments and updates
on earlier assessments for approximately 600 Federal programs.
Historical Tables, Budget of the United States Government,
Fiscal Year 2006 provides data on budget receipts, outlays, surpluses or deficits, Federal debt, and Federal employment over an
extended time period, generally from 1940 or earlier to 2006. To
the extent feasible, the data have been adjusted to provide consistency with the 2006 Budget and to provide comparability over time.
Appendix, Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal
Year 2006 contains detailed information on the various appropriations and funds that constitute the budget and is designed primarily
for the use of the Appropriations Committee. The Appendix contains

more detailed financial information on individual programs and appropriation accounts than any of the other budget documents. It
includes for each agency: the proposed text of appropriations language, budget schedules for each account, new legislative proposals,
explanations of the work to be performed and the funds needed,
and proposed general provisions applicable to the appropriations of
entire agencies or group of agencies. Information is also provided
on certain activities whose outlays are not part of the budget totals.

1. INTRODUCTION
Purpose of This Volume
The Analytical Perspectives volume presents analyses
that highlight specific subject areas or provide other
significant data that place the budget in context. The
volume presents crosscutting analyses of Government
programs and activities from several perspectives.
Presidential budgets have included separate analytical presentations of this kind for many years. The 1947
Budget and subsequent budgets included a separate
section entitled ‘‘Special Analyses and Tables’’ that covered four or more topics. For the 1952 Budget, this
section was expanded to ten analyses, including many
subjects still covered today, such as receipts, investment, credit programs, and aid to State and local governments. With the 1967 Budget this material became
a separate volume entitled ‘‘Special Analyses,’’ and included 13 chapters. The material has remained a separate volume since then, with the exception of the budgets for 1991–1994, when all of the budget material was
included in one large volume. Beginning with the 1995
Budget, the volume has been named Analytical Perspectives.
The volume this year continues to reflect an interest
in publishing more information on program performance, so that Executive agencies, the Congress, and
the public will become increasingly informed about how
well programs are performing. Better performance information can help managers improve program effectiveness, and can help Executive and Congressional policymakers improve the allocation of public resources.
The performance assessment information is summarized in Chapter 2, ‘‘Performance and Management Assessments,’’ and is discussed in many other chapters,
especially those in the section, ‘‘Crosscutting Programs.’’
One-page summaries of each program are on the Analytical Perspectives CD ROM (inside back cover).
The volume includes a new chapter this year on the
California Bay-Delta restoration program (Chapter 11).
Again this year, several large tables are included as
part of the Budget on the enclosed Analytical Perspectives CD ROM, along with evaluations and analyses
of programs and management at Federal departments
and agencies. A list of the items on the CD ROM is
in the Table of Contents of this volume.
Overview of the Chapters
Introduction
1. Introduction. This chapter discusses each chapter
briefly and highlights the emphasis on performance in
a crosscutting context.

Performance and Management Assessments
2. Budget and Performance Integration. This chapter
summarizes this year’s performance and management
assessments, based primarily on the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART). The enclosed Analytical Perspectives CD ROM includes one-page summaries of the
program evaluations. Additional details of each of the
assessments can be found on the OMB web page under
‘‘Budget Documents’’ at http://www.budget.gov/budget/.
Crosscutting Programs
3. Homeland Security Analysis. This chapter discusses homeland security funding and provides information on homeland security program requirements, performance, and priorities. Additional detailed information is available on the enclosed Analytical Perspectives
CD ROM.
4. Strengthening Federal Statistics. This chapter discusses the development of standards that principal statistical programs can use to assess their performance
and presents highlights of their 2006 Budget proposals.
5. Research and Development. This chapter presents
a crosscutting review of research and development
funding in the budget, including discussions about priorities, performance, and coordination across agencies.
6. Federal Investment. This chapter discusses spending across Federal agencies that yields long-term benefits, and presents information on physical capital, research and development, and education and training.
The chapter includes material on the PART assessments related to direct Federal investment spending.
There is also a section on capital stocks.
7. Credit and Insurance. This chapter provides crosscutting analyses of the roles and risks of Federal credit
and insurance programs and Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), as well as criteria for evaluation. It
covers the categories of Federal credit (housing, education, business including farm operations, and international) and insurance programs (deposit insurance,
pension guarantees, disaster insurance, and insurance
against security-related risks). Two detailed tables,
‘‘Table 7–10. Direct Loan Transactions of the Federal
Government’’ and ‘‘Table 7–11. Guaranteed Loan Transactions of the Federal Government’’, are on the enclosed
Analytical Perspectives CD ROM.
8. Aid to State and Local Governments. This discussion presents crosscutting information on Federal
grants to State and local governments, including highlights of Administration proposals. The chapter also includes material on the PART assessments related to
grants. An Appendix to this chapter includes Stateby-State spending estimates of major grant programs.

9. Integrating Services with Information Technology.
This chapter presents a crosscutting look at investments in information technology (IT). The chapter describes various aspects of the Administration’s information technology agenda, with special emphasis on the
performance, efficiency, and effectiveness of the Government’s IT investments. Three detailed tables, ‘‘Table
9–1. Effectiveness of Agency’s IT Management and EGov Processes,’’ ‘‘Table 9–2. Management Guidance,’’
and ‘‘Table 9–3. Status of Presidential E-Government
Initiatives,’’ are on the enclosed Analytical Perspectives
CD ROM.
10. Federal Drug Control Funding by Agency. This
section presents estimated drug control funding for Federal departments and agencies.
11. California-Federal Bay-Delta Program Budget
Crosscut (CALFED). This chapter presents information
on Federal funding for the California Bay-Delta restoration program, in partial fulfillment of the reporting requirements for this program. A detailed table,
‘‘CALFED-Related Federal Funding’’ is on the enclosed
Analytical Perspectives CD ROM.
Economic Assumptions and Analyses
12. Economic Assumptions. This discussion reviews
recent economic developments; presents the Administration’s assessment of the economic outlook, including
the expected effects of macroeconomic policies; and compares the economic assumptions on which the budget
is based with the assumptions for last year’s budget
and those of other forecasters. This chapter also covers
topics related to the effects on the budget of changes
in economic conditions and assumptions.
13. Stewardship. This chapter assesses the Government’s financial condition and sustainability in an integrated framework that includes Federal assets and liabilities; 75-year projections of the Federal budget
under alternative assumptions for discretionary spending, health cost, productivity, and demographics; actuarial estimates for the shortfalls in Social Security and
Medicare; a national balance sheet that shows the Federal contribution to national wealth; and a table of economic and social indicators. Together these elements
serve similar analytical functions to a business’s accounting statements.
14. National Income and Product Accounts. This
chapter discusses how Federal receipts and outlays fit
into the framework of the National Income and Product
Accounts (NIPAs) prepared by the Department of Commerce. The NIPA measures are the basis for reporting
Federal transactions in the gross domestic product
(GDP) and for analyzing the effect of the budget on
aggregate economic activity.

2. BUDGET AND PERFORMANCE INTEGRATION
The President’s Management Agenda (PMA) aims to
improve the management and performance of the Federal government. The Budget and Performance Integration (BPI) initiative of the PMA specifically directs

departments to improve program results and to ensure
that performance is routinely considered in funding and
management decisions.

It’s not enough to advocate reform. You have to be able to get it done. And that’s what we have done.
When it comes to reforming schools to provide excellent education for all our children, we got the job
done. Results matter. When it comes to health care reforms to give families more access and more
choices, results matter. When it comes to improving our economy and creating jobs, results matter.
When it comes to having a strong farm economy, results matter. When it comes to better securing our
homeland, fighting the forces of terror, and spreading the peace, results matter.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE BUDGET AND PERFORMANCE INTEGRATION INITIATIVE

The Federal government spends over $2 trillion a
year on its programs. In a results-oriented government,
the burden of proof rests with these Federal programs
and their advocates to show that programs are achieving results for the American people in the most effective
and efficient manner. Furthermore, it is the government’s responsibility to make difficult decisions about
whether to increase or decrease the funding of a program, or terminate a program’s funding entirely if it
is not producing the desired results. The Budget and
Performance Integration Initiative is making this link
between a program’s performance and decisions about
its funding more routine.
American taxpayers expect managers of Federal programs to constantly assess whether their programs are
achieving the desired results at acceptable costs. If the
answer is ‘‘no’’ or ‘‘we don’t know,’’ the taxpayer expects
those in charge to take immediate corrective action.

This results-focus is evident in the meaningful
progress that agencies make in the BPI Initiative,
which has three specific objectives all supporting the
goal of using performance information in budgeting and
improving program performance and efficiency:
• Increasing accountability, effectiveness, and
efficiency—implementing plans designed to improve the management and performance of programs.
• Investing in high pay-off or high priority activities—focusing most on programs that can
achieve demonstrably greater results for the same
or less cost.
• Improving program design—developing, enacting, and implementing legislative or other proposals to fix flaws identified through the Program
Assessment Rating Tool (PART) that impede performance.

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

What is the PART and How is it Used?
The Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) is designed to help assess the management and performance of individual programs. The PART evaluates a program’s purpose, design, planning, management, results, and accountability to determine its
overall effectiveness. Recommendations are then made to improve program results.
To reflect that Federal programs deliver goods and services using different mechanisms, the PART is customized by program
category. The seven PART categories are: Direct Federal, Competitive Grant, Block/Formula Grant, Research and Development,
Capital Assets and Acquisition, Credit, and Regulatory. The PART types apply to both discretionary and mandatory programs.
Each PART includes 25 basic questions and some additional questions tailored to the program type all divided up into four sections. The first section of questions gauges whether a program’s design and purpose are clear and defensible. The second section involves strategic planning, and weighs whether the agency establishes valid annual and long-term goals for its programs.
The third section rates the management of an agency’s program, including financial oversight and program improvement efforts.
The fourth section of questions focuses on results that programs can report with accuracy and consistency.
The answers to questions in each of the four sections result in a numerical score for each section from 0 to 100 (100 being the
best score). Because reporting a single weighted numerical rating could suggest false precision, or draw attention away from the
very areas most in need of improvement, numerical scores are translated into qualitative ratings. The bands and associated ratings are as follows:
Rating

Range

Effective ...................................................................

85–100

Moderately Effective ...............................................

70–84

Adequate .................................................................

50–69

Ineffective ................................................................

0–49

Regardless of overall score, programs that do not have acceptable performance measures or have not yet collected performance data generally receive a rating of ‘‘Results Not Demonstrated.’’
PART ratings do not result in automatic decisions about funding. Clearly, over time, funding should be targeted to programs that
can prove they achieve measurable results. In some cases, a PART rating of ‘‘Ineffective’’ or ‘‘Results Not Demonstrated’’ may
suggest that greater funding is necessary to overcome identified shortcomings, while a program rated ‘‘Effective’’ may be in line
for a proposed funding decrease if it is not a priority or has completed its mission. However, most of the time, an ‘‘Effective’’ is
an indication that the program is using its funding well and that major changes may not be needed.

RESULTS AGENCIES AND PROGRAMS ARE ACHIEVING

BPI Initiative Success
More and more agencies are achieving greater results
with the help of the habits and discipline established
through the Budget and Performance Integration (BPI)
Initiative. These agencies recognize that BPI is much
broader than the PART and that the PART is simply
a tool used to achieve the much larger goals of the
initiative.

In 2004, eight agencies achieved green status on the
BPI Scorecard, a quarterly rating that assesses whether
agencies have achieved clear standards of success for
the initiative. The agencies at green are: Department
of Energy, Department of Labor, Department of Transportation, Department of State, National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, National Science Foundation, Small Business Administration, and Social Security Administration.

Scorecard—Standards for Success
For each initiative, the PMA established clear, Government-wide goals or Standards for Success (http://results.gov/agenda/standards.pdf). Agencies then develop and implement detailed, aggressive action plans to achieve these goals. Most importantly,
agencies are held publicly accountable for adopting these disciplines. The Standards for Success for the BPI Initiative are below:
• Senior agency managers meet at least quarterly to examine reports that integrate financial and performance information that
covers all major responsibilities of the department. Agency demonstrates improvement in program performance and efficiency in achieving results;
• Strategic plans contain a limited number of outcome-oriented goals and objectives. Annual budget and performance documents incorporate all measures identified by the PART and focus on the information used in the senior management report
described in the first criterion;
• Has performance appraisal plans and awards programs for all SES and managers, and more than 60% of agency positions that effectively: link to agency mission, goals and outcomes; hold employees accountable for results appropriate to their
level of responsibility; differentiate between various levels of performance; and provide consequences based on performance.
The agency is also working to include all agency employees under such systems
• Reports the full cost of achieving performance goals accurately in budget and performance documents and can accurately estimate the marginal cost (+/ - 10%) of changing performance goals;
• Has at least one efficiency measure for all PARTed programs; and
• Uses PART evaluations to direct program improvements, and PART ratings and performance information are used consistently to justify funding requests, management actions, and legislative proposals. Fewer than 10% of agency programs receive a Results Not Demonstrated rating for more than two years in a row.
Each quarter, agencies are rated on their status in achieving the overall goals for each initiative and progress in implementing
their respective action plans. To that end, a simple grading system of red, yellow, and green was developed. Green status is for
success in achieving results in each of the criteria above; yellow is for an intermediate level of performance; and red is for unsatisfactory results.
The Government-wide scorecard reporting on individual agency progress is published quarterly at http://results.gov/agenda/scorecard.html.

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

Best Practices
Executive branch agencies are using and sharing
with each other innovative management practices to
achieve the goals of the BPI initiative and thereby improving organizational and program performance. One
of the best practices shared across the Executive
Branch came from the Department of State (DOS).
Management at DOS has integrated the PART into
their automated performance planning system. This capability allows DOS to 1) monitor the quality and content of PART submissions, 2) track the status of PART
recommendations to improve program performance, and
3) most importantly, allows the Department of State
to make this information available to managers so that
they can use performance information to influence
budget decisions.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) shared with
other agencies its successes with implementing marginal cost methodologies, which assists in articulating
the cost/benefit of putting additional resources into a
program. This year, DOT improved its performance
budgeting by estimating the marginal cost of performance for selected programs. DOT’s disciplined approach
allows it to see how inputs affect outputs and how
outputs roll up to produce outcomes. As an example,
DOT is able to estimate the reduction in rail-related
accidents and incidents it expects to achieve at various
funding levels. DOT now submits a budget that shows
expected performance at both a baseline level and a
specified marginal level. As a result, annual performance targets will be adjusted accordingly to reflect the
specified levels of funding.
The bottom line is that without solid performance
baselines, you cannot accurately predict performance
changes resulting from varying resource levels.
Programs Assessed Using the PART
This marks the third year that the PART was used
to assess program performance, make recommendations
to improve program performance, and help link performance to budget decisions. To date, the Administration has assessed 607 programs, which represent ap-

Table 2–1.

proximately 60 percent of the Federal budget. Over the
next two years, the Administration will use the PART
to assess the performance and management of all remaining Federal programs with limited exceptions. Alternative methods and timelines for assessment are
being considered for programs with limited impact and
large activities where it is difficult to determine an
appropriate unit of analysis.
With the help of the PART, we have improved program performance and transparency. There has been
a substantial increase in the total number of programs
rated either ‘‘Effective,’’ ‘‘Moderately Effective,’’ or ‘‘Adequate’’. This increase came from both re-assessments
and newly PARTed programs. The Table 2–1 below
shows the percentage of programs by ratings category.
Of the 607 programs assessed, 71 percent have defined and are tracking clear outcome goals to measure
their results and 59 percent have efficiency measures
in place to manage costs.
Unfortunately, in 2004 33 percent of PARTed programs are rated ‘‘Results Not Demonstrated’’ or ‘‘Ineffective.’’ Particularly in a period of tight budgets, these
programs must improve their performance or their resources may be moved to higher performing programs.
Programs Reassessed
Programs are reassessed when significant changes
have been made to improve the program and those
improvements can be demonstrated. For example, programs might be reassessed when new performance
measures are agreed upon, PART recommendations
have been implemented, new performance data have
been compiled, or a program evaluation has been completed.
In the last two years more than 127 programs were
reassessed. Chart 2–1 which follows demonstrates that
PART recommendations are being implemented and we
are seeing results. The chart illustrates a significant
increase in ‘‘Effective’’ programs and a decrease in programs rated ‘‘Results Not Demonstrated.’’

Following up on PART Recommendations. While
the Administration believes that an increasing number
of programs will earn ‘‘Effective’’ ratings, we also stress
that PART recommendations are more important than
PART ratings because the focus of the PART is on
continuous improvement of program performance. The
PART serves its purpose if its findings and recommendations play a substantial role in guiding decisions on spending, management and program improvements.
A number of Federal programs across the government
have improved their management or performance by
implementing recommendations made through the
PART process:
• Health Centers: The President’s Health Centers
Initiative is creating 1,200 new and expanded
health center sites to serve an additional 6.1 million people by 2006. From 2001 to 2005, this program increased the number of low-income individuals served by over 30 percent. In 2006, the program has a goal to serve approximately 16.4 million people, up from 10.3 million in 2001.
• Broadcasting Board of Governors: As a result
of the PART, this program established goals for
weekly audience size, program quality, signal
strength and cost-per-listener for all language programs. The Near East Asia and South Asia programs are on track to attain their long-term weekly audience size goal in Arabic speaking countries
of 21 million listeners and viewers by 2008—a

Ineffective

Results Not
Demonstrated

nearly 700% increase from 3.1 million weekly listeners and viewers in 2002.
• FAA’s Facilities and equipment Program: The
PART helped management determine the reasons
projects in this program consistently experienced
large costs and schedule overruns. In response to
a PART recommendation, the FAA began focusing
on increasing the use of performance based contracts as a means of controlling costs. Managers
are now held accountable for achieving cost, schedule, and performance targets through the FAA’s
Performance management system, which is evaluated semiannually.
• National Weather Service (NWS): During a
PART reassessment it was determined that NWS
increased its tornado warning lead time from 10
minutes to 13 minutes; improved its flash flood
warning accuracy from 86 percent to 89 percent;
and accurately predicted the tracks of hurricanes
within 94 nautical miles. It has set goals to improve these and other key indicators of its ability
to protect lives and property from national disasters.
• The Migratory Bird Management Program:
This year the program developed new performance
goals during the PART process. Specifically, one
of the new goals examines the percent of migratory birds that are at healthy and sustainable levels. If the program is successful, and external factors that also affect migratory bird populations
do not dramatically change, by 2008, 62 percent

14

of all migratory bird populations will be healthy
and sustainable.
Corps Hydropower Program: A reassessment
of the Hydropower Program credited the Corps
with developing an overall asset management plan
for plant and program mangers. This management
plan is used by managers in making risk-based
hydropower investment decisions, as well as setting regional and national hydropower investment
priorities. The management plan was developed
in response to deficiencies cited in the initial
PART.
Nonpoint Source Grants (NPS): The Environmental Protection Agency’s program provides
grants to states to identify and address NPS pollution problems, a leading cause of water quality
impairment. NPS pollution comes from both urban
and rural sources, including roads, farms, and
mines. A previous program assessment recommended that the NPS program improve its performance metrics and take steps to reduce any
activities duplicated by similar Department of Agriculture (USDA) programs. As a result, in agricultural areas, the program refocused its efforts on
watershed planning to avoid redundancy with
USDA’s efforts. The program also developed good
long-term, annual, and efficiency measures.
The Capital Security Construction Program:
A past program assessment identified a standard
embassy design which would promote the construction of new embassy compounds more quickly, efficiently and in a cost effective manner. This
year’s reassessment found that the Department
of State implemented this design recommendation
across overseas capital construction programs and
for security and non-security projects.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS):
In response to an assessment completed two years
ago, Citizenship and Immigration Services has
begun to implement significant IT and process improvements. Since May 2003, more than 182,000
immigration applications have been filed on-line,
reducing processing time and errors. One CIS field
office is piloting a green card replacement project.
This field office is accepting e-filed applications
and has demonstrated results by reducing the average renewal processing time from eight months
to approximately two business weeks. This improvement is accompanied by a significant rise
in e-filed applications from an average of 650 per
month prior to the pilot to about 1,650 per month.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration: In response to the PART recommendations,
this program now identifies the monetary costs
and net benefits for all new economically significant regulations. In addition, the 2006 Budget requests $1 million for an initiative to allow OSHA
to develop more timely data to assess performance.

Efficiency Measures
One of the greatest challenges for agencies has been
developing meaningful measures of program efficiency.
Ideally, programs should be able to articulate production costs for each unit of what it is they are achieving.
Agencies should be able to use efficiency measures to
capture skillfulness in executing programs and achieving results while avoiding wasted resources, time, and
effort. Although much work remains, this year we experienced many notable examples of success:
• Department of Commerce. In 2005 the Patent
and Trademark Office (PTO) continues to align
resources with its goal of promoting scientific
progress by securing inventors’ rights to their respective discoveries. PTO has clearly defined
quantitative performance measures that are
linked to its annual funding request. For example,
for 2005, PTO set the following annual targets
for the patent program: quality (as measured by
an error rate of 3.75%), processing time (as measured by patent pendency of 31 months), and unit
cost of $4,052 per production unit for a funding
level of $1.337 billion. Moreover, PTO’s budget is
not only framed around its strategic plan, but its
specific initiatives are linked to PTO’s three strategic goals: improving the quality, processing
times, and flexibility of its organization.
• Department of Justice. The Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA) has demonstrated proficiency at quantifying the impact of funding increases (or decreases) on its performance measures
relative to targets established from the PART
process. DEA is capable of translating a budget
increase for additional drug enforcement agents
into a specific number of drug trafficking organizations that will be either disrupted or dismantled
in the fiscal year.
• Social Security Administration (SSA). SSA’s
ability to link financial resources and performance
has assisted executive and legislative branch decision makers during the appropriations process.
SSA was able to determine the number of claims
that could be processed at different funding level
proposals. This efficiency measure provided the
requisite information to arrive at the best possible
funding decision.
• Department of State. The State Department has
developed efficiency measures for each of its programs and is using them to drive down cost while
increasing performance. For instance, the Refugee
Admissions program has decreased the per-person
cost of admitting refugees to the United States
from nearly $4,500 in 2002 to $3,500 in 2004,
while exceeding the goal of admitting 50,000 refugees.
• Department of Energy. The Weatherization Assistance program increases the energy efficiency
of dwellings occupied by low-income Americans,
thereby reducing their energy costs, while safeguarding their health and safety. The program

15

2. BUDGET AND PERFORMANCE INTEGRATION

added a long-term efficiency measure to maintain
a benefit-cost ratio greater than one, which compares estimated lifetime energy cost savings of all
homes weatherized in a given year to total program costs for that year.
Cross-cutting Review of Federal Programs
The Administration continues to look for new ways
to improve the performance of programs with similar
purpose or design by using the PART to analyze performance across agencies (i.e., cross-cutting analysis).
Cross-cutting analysis can improve coordination and
communication by getting managers from multiple
agencies to agree to a common set of goals and placing
the focus on quantifiable results. This type of analysis
breaks down barriers across the Federal government
and at the state and local levels so that all are working
toward the same goal. This past year the Administration began a cross-cutting analysis of community and
economic development programs and rural water programs.
Community and Economic Development crosscut analysis. To help foster community and economic
development, the Federal Government provides financial assistance to communities through 35 grant, loan,
and tax incentive programs spread across seven agencies. In 2005 nearly $16 billion will be spent on efforts
to revitalize distressed communities and increase economic opportunity in areas that, despite increases in
national economic growth and productivity, continue to
suffer from high unemployment, low incomes and economic disruption.
During 2004, OMB reviewed the effectiveness and
structure of Federal community and economic development programs. An inter-agency group, the Interagency
Collaborative on Community and Economic Development, also assisted this review by highlighting the
strengths, weaknesses and challenges of community
and economic development efforts. OMB reviewed the
PART assessments of several programs to identify challenges shared by these programs. First, several of these
programs had unclear long-term objectives, which resulted in many instances in a focus on short-term outputs (e.g., number of people assisted and number of
housing units constructed), not on long-term community
impacts. Second, the programs did not coordinate effectively, and in many cases overlapped in mission and
function. For example, assistance for infrastructure investment is provided by at least four Federal agencies.
Third, and most importantly, the programs were unable

III.

to demonstrate that they were achieving long-term outcomes. In fact, there was little research to demonstrate
that Federal investment had improved communities
over the long-term. Ultimately, these programs should
be able to measure conditions and track changes in
key indicators such as job creation, homeownership,
commercial development and increases in private sector
investment.
To ensure the efficient use of taxpayer resources and
improve the focus on results, the Budget proposes a
$3.7 billion program within the Department Commerce
to support communities’ economic development and revitalization efforts. This initiative will consolidate programs such as Community Development Block Grants
and the Economic Development Assistance Programs
into a more targeted, unified program that sets accountability standards in exchange for flexible use of the
funds. Further discussion on this initiative can be found
in the Department of Commerce budget chapter.
Rural Water cross-cut analysis. At least 12 different Federal programs participate in building facilities that provide drinking water or wastewater services
to rural areas of the country. These programs have
some overlapping missions and use similar service delivery mechanisms. Water development is part of the
core mission of the Bureau of Reclamation in the Department of Interior, the Rural Utilities Service in
USDA, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s
Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving
Funds. Other agencies, such as the Indian Health Service in the Department of Health and Human Services
and the Economic Development Administration in the
Department of Commerce, support activities related to
rural water development, but use them as means to
achieve broader program goals such as promoting economic development. Analysis of these programs also
revealed that the Federal government’s role in developing water resources is unclear, which hampers the
long-term strategic planning of these agencies and creates uncertainty as to what actions Federal agencies
should undertake and how to prioritize funding for Federal water projects. Consolidating some of these programs may result in more efficient program management and better delivery of on-the-ground services for
rural communities. The Administration will develop recommendations regarding consolidation and reform of
Federal rural water programs that it will forward to
a proposed Results Commission, if authorized by Congress. (See next section).

NEXT STEPS FOR THE BPI INITIATIVE

Results Commission
Dysfunctional program overlap is why many of the
30 percent of programs are rated either ineffective or
unable to demonstrate results. Cross-cutting analysis
can help in many of these areas, but overlapping juris-

dictions in Congress provide daunting hurdles to legislative remedies for the poor performance of duplicative
programs. To overcome this challenge, the President
will propose that Congress enact legislation that gives
him the authority to recommend the creation of ‘‘Re-

16

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

sults Commissions’’ to consider and revise Administration proposals to improve the performance of programs
or agencies by restructuring or consolidating them. Proposals approved by a commission would then be approved by the President and considered by Congress
under expedited procedures.
The President’s proposal to the Congress will also
include a process by which programs undergo the regular scrutiny brought about by having to defend their
existence before a Sunset Commission. Programs would
be reviewed by the Sunset Commission according to
a schedule enacted by Congress. The Commission would
consider and revise Administration proposals to retain,
restructure, or terminate programs. Programs would
automatically terminate according to the schedule unless Congress took some action to reauthorize them.
Both components of this proposal—the Results Commissions and the Sunset Commission—will require enactment by Congress and the President. In the absence
of these reforms, the Administration will continue to
pursue all opportunities to improve program performance to include using the PART for cross-cutting analysis.
Other Cross-Cuts of Federal Programs
In 2005, the Administration will conduct additional
cross-cuts in three different areas: block grant programs, small business innovation research programs
and credit programs.
Block Grants. One of the most common tools used
by the Federal government is the block grant, particularly in the social services area where states and localities are the service providers. Block grants are embraced for their flexibility to meet local needs and criticized because accountability for results can be difficult
when funds are allocated based on formulas and population counts rather than achievements or needs. In
addition, block grants pose performance measurement
challenges precisely because they can be used for a
wide range of activities. The obstacles to measuring
and achieving results through block grants are reflected
in PART scores: they receive the second lowest average
score of the seven PART types, 8 percent of block grant
programs assessed to date are rated ineffective, and
45 percent are rated Results Not Demonstrated.
Nonetheless, the PART shows that some Federal
block grant programs are achieving results superior to
others, effectively combining the flexibility that localities need with the results that taxpayers deserve. In
the coming year, the Administration will apply the lessons learned from the effective block grants to several
of those performing inadequately. This project will identify the methods used to manage highly rated block
grant programs and adapt and implement those practices in large, low-scoring programs. Each of the programs targeted for improvement will develop an action
plan and implementation timeline that will be tracked
quarterly. The targeted programs will be re-analyzed
through the PART in one to two years to assess wheth-

er implementing the block grant best practices results
in improved performance.
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR). The
SBIR program established in 1982, sets aside 2.5 percent of government research and development (R&D)
contract and grant funding to allow small businesses
to explore innovative ideas. The goal of the program
is to assist small businesses in undertaking and obtaining the benefits of research and development, while
assisting the funding agencies to realize their mission.
Approximately $2 billion was spent last year in SBIR
programs.
All Federal agencies with R&D budgets above $100
million per year must publish a list of technical topics
that they would like to support, after which small businesses are encouraged to submit research funding proposals addressing opportunities in those areas. First,
agencies investigate the feasibility of the project and,
if deemed promising, funding is provided for research
and development. Awards generally are limited to about
$1 million per project. Agencies monitor the progress
of the selected projects and report key data annually
to the Small Business Administration.
This year the Administration will review the SBIR
programs of several agencies in a cross-agency review.
Key questions to be asked include how well the program is managed; how well it is coordinated among
the participating agencies; how well the program has
done in commercializing products in the marketplace;
and how well it has contributed to the success of the
missions of the participating agencies.
Credit Programs. The Federal Government is one
of the world’s largest lenders. At the end of 2003, the
Government held a financial asset portfolio of nearly
$1.5 trillion, including direct loans, loan guarantees,
defaulted loans, and non-credit debt owed to agencies.
Many agencies lack the data, processes, or overall understanding of the credit lifecycle (origination, loan
servicing/lender monitoring, liquidation, and debt collection) needed to effectively assist intended borrowers
while also proactively reducing errors, risk, and cost
to the Government. Some credit program PART scores
reflect these fundamental inefficiencies.
A cross-cutting analysis will identify best practices
that can be implemented across the major credit agencies, with the goal of strengthening Government credit
management practices at all stages of the credit
lifecycle. This will in turn lead to improved credit program PART scores as well as substantial budgetary
savings: upfront subsidy costs and administrative expenses could be reduced by hundreds of millions of
dollars, and delinquent debt could be reduced by up
to $10 billion.
Additional discussion of the credit program cross-cut
can be found in chapter seven of this Analytical Perspectives volume (‘‘Credit and Insurance’’).
Follow-up on Recommendations
Rigorous follow-up on recommendations from the
PART will accelerate improvements in the performance

Program—achieves results, reduction in
cost, and net savings for investment

PART Questionnaire. The table below illustrates
key questions from each section of the PART.

Table 2–3.

THE PART QUESTIONNAIRE

Key Questions for Every Program
PROGRAM PURPOSE AND DESIGN
• Is the program purpose clear?
• Does the program address a specific and existing problem, interest, or need?
• Is the program designed so it is not redundant or duplicative of any other federal,
state, local or private effort?
• Is the program designed free of major flaws that would limit program effectiveness or
efficiency?
• Is the program effectively targeted, so that resources will reach the intended beneficiaries and/or otherwise address the program’s purpose directly?

Description

This section examines the clarity of program purpose and soundness of program design. It looks at factors including those the program, agency, or Administration may
not directly control but which are within their influence, such as legislation and market factors. Programs should generally be designed to address a market failure—either an efficiency matter, such as a public good or externality, or a distributional objective, such as assisting low-income families—in the least costly or most efficient
manner. A clear understanding of program purpose is essential to setting meaningful
program goals, measures, and targets; maintaining focus; and managing the program. Potential source documents and evidence for answering questions in this section include authorizing legislation, agency strategic plans, annual performance plans,
and other agency reports. Options for answers are Yes, No or Not Applicable

18

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

Table 2–3.

THE PART QUESTIONNAIRE—Continued

Key Questions for Every Program

Description

STRATEGIC PLANNING
• Does the program have a limited number of specific long-term performance measures that focus on outcomes and meaningfully reflect the purpose of the program?
• Does the program have ambitious targets and timeframes for its long-term measures?
• Does the program have a limited number of specific annual performance goals that
can demonstrate progress toward achieving the program’s long-term goals?
• Does the program have baselines and ambitious targets for its annual measures?
• Do all partners (grantees, sub-grantees, contractors, cost-sharing partners, and other
government partners) commit to and work toward the annual and/or long-term goals
of the program?
• Are independent evaluations of sufficient scope conducted on a regular basis or as
needed to support program improvements and evaluate effectiveness and relevance
to the problem, interest or need?
• Are Budget requests explicitly tied to accomplishment of the annual and long-term
performance goals, and are the resource needs presented in a complete and transparent manner in the program’s budget?
• Has the program taken meaningful steps to address its strategic planning deficiencies?

This section focuses on program planning, priority setting, and resource allocation. Key
elements include an assessment of whether the program has a limited number of
performance measures with ambitious—yet achievable—targets, to ensure planning,
management, and budgeting are strategic and focused. Potential source documents
and evidence for answering questions include strategic planning documents, agency
performance plans and reports, reports and submissions from program partners,
evaluation plans, budget submissions and other program documents. Options for answers are Yes, No or Not Applicable.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT
• Does the agency regularly collect timely and credible performance information from
key program partners, and use it to manage the program and improve performance?
• Are Federal managers and program partners (including grantees, sub-grantees, contractors, cost-sharing partners, and other government partners) held accountable for
cost, schedule and performance results?
• Are funds (Federal and partners’) obligated in a timely manner and spent for the intended purpose?
• Does the program have procedures (i.e. competitive sourcing/cost comparisons, IT
improvements, appropriate incentives) to measure and achieve efficiencies and cost
effectiveness in program execution?
• Does the program collaborate and coordinate effectively with related programs?
• Does the program use strong financial management practices?
• Has the program taken meaningful steps to address its management deficiencies?

This section focuses on a variety of elements related to whether the program is effectively managed to meet program performance goals. Key areas include financial
oversight, evaluation of program improvements, performance data collection, and program manager accountability. Additionally, specific areas of importance for each program type are also explored. Potential source documents and evidence for answering questions in this section include financial statements, GAO reports, IG reports,
performance plans, budget execution data, IT plans, and independent program evaluations. Options for answers are Yes, No or Not Applicable.

PROGRAM RESULTS/ACCOUNTABILITY
• Has the program demonstrated adequate progress in achieving its long-term performance goals?
• Does the program (including program partners) achieve its annual performance
goals?
• Does the program demonstrate improved efficiencies or cost effectiveness in achieving program goals each year?
• Does the performance of this program compare favorably to other programs, including government, private, etc., with similar purpose and goals?
• Do independent evaluations of sufficient scope and quality indicate that the program
is effective and achieving results?

This section considers whether a program is meeting its long-term and annual performance goals. This section also assesses how well the program compares to similar
programs and how effective the program is based on independent evaluations. Potential source documents and evidence for answering questions in this section include annual performance reports, evaluations, GAO reports, IG reports and other
agency documents. Assessments of program results should be based on the most
recent reporting cycle or other relevant data. The PART worksheet, under the
‘‘Measures Page,’’ calls for data on a few years of performance targets and results
to be reported. Answers in this section are rated as Yes, Large Extent, Small Extent,
and No.

PART Categories. The PART segments mandatory
and discretionary Federal programs into seven cat-

egories. The accompanying table describes the program

APPENDIX 2:

SUMMARY RESULTS OF PROGRAMS EVALUATED USING THE PART

Since its inception, the PART has been improved annually based on feedback received from agencies and
the public. Although there were no changes to the
PART questions for this past year, the guidance has
been refined each year to improve consistency in application of the PART across programs. Feedback from
Federal agencies, General Accounting Office, Center for
Excellence in Government, National Academy of Public
Administrators, the public, and internal quality control
reviews all helped improve the guidance.
The table that follows lists summary PART results
and funding information for each of the assessed pro-

grams. It affirms the fact that PART ratings are one
factor, but not the only factor, in the Administration’s
budget formulation process. The PART gives the Executive Branch, Congress, and individual program managers valuable insight into ways we can improve program performance on behalf of the American people.
Individual PART summaries are included on the CD
that accompanies the Analytical Perspectives volume,
and full PART worksheets can be found on OMB’s web
page (www.budget.gov/budget/fy2006/part.html)

3. HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING ANALYSIS
Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001,
America has engaged in a broad, determined effort to
thwart terrorism, identifying and pursuing terrorists
abroad and implementing an array of measures to secure our citizens and resources at home. The Administration has worked with the Congress to reorganize
the Federal Government, acquire countermeasures to
biological weapons, enhance security at our borders,
transportation systems, critical infrastructure and local
communities, and strengthen America’s preparedness
and response capabilities. To build upon these accomplishments, the President signed landmark legislation
to reorganize America’s intelligence agencies and implement other recommendations of the 9/11 Commission,
the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act
of 2004. These are elements of our national homeland
security strategy—to prevent terrorist attacks within
the United States, reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism, and minimize the damage from attacks that
may occur—involving every level of government, the
private sector, and individual citizens. Since September
11th, homeland security has remained a major policy
focus for all levels of government, and one of the President’s highest priorities.
To underscore the importance of homeland security
as a crosscutting Government-wide function, section
889 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 requires a
homeland security funding analysis to be incorporated
in the President’s Budget. This analysis addresses that
legislative requirement. It covers the homeland security
funding and activities of all Federal agencies, not only
those carried out by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and discusses State, local, and private sector expenditures. In addition, not all activities carried
out by DHS constitute homeland security funding (e.g.,
Coast Guard search and rescue activities), so DHS estimates in this section do not represent the entire DHS
budget.
Federal Expenditures
The Federal spending estimates in this analysis utilize funding and programmatic information collected on
the Executive Branch’s homeland security efforts. 1
Throughout the budget formulation process, the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) collects three-year
funding estimates and associated programmatic information from all Federal agencies with homeland security responsibilities. These estimates do not include the
efforts of the Legislative or Judicial branches. Information in this chapter is augmented by a detailed appen1 All data in the Federal expenditures section are based on the President’s policy for
the 2006 Budget. Additional policy and baseline data is presented in the ‘‘Additional Tables’’
section. Due to rounding differences, data in this section may not add to totals in other
Budget volumes.

dix of account-level funding estimates, which is available on the Analytical Perspectives CD ROM.
To compile these data, agencies report information
using standardized definitions for homeland security.
The data provided by the agencies are developed at
the ‘‘activity level,’’ which is a set of like programs
or projects that make up a coherent effort, at a level
of detail sufficient to analyze total governmental spending on homeland security.
To the extent possible, this analysis maintains programmatic and funding consistency with previous estimates. Some discrepancies from data reported in earlier
years arise due to agencies’ improved ability to extract
terrorism-related activities from host programs and refine their characterizations. 2 As in the Budget, where
appropriate, the data is also updated to reflect agency
activities, Congressional action, and technical re-estimates. In addition, the Administration may refine definitions or mission area estimates over time based on
additional analysis or changes in the way specific activities are characterized, aggregated, or disaggregated. Activities in many of the mission areas are closely related.
For example, information gleaned from activities in the
intelligence and warning category may be utilized to
inform law enforcement activities in the domestic
counterterrorism category. Augmentation of pharmaceutical stockpiles, categorized as emergency preparedness and response, may address agents that represent
catastrophic threats.
Total funding for homeland security has grown significantly since the attacks of September 11, 2001. For
2006, the President’s Budget includes $49.9 billion for
homeland security activities, a $3.9 billion (8.6 percent)
increase over the 2005 level, excluding DHS’ Project
BioShield. 3 The 2006 level is more than $29 billion
above, or approximately 240 percent, of the 2002 level
of $20.7 billion. Excluding mandatory funding, the Department of Defense, and DHS’ Project BioShield, the
2006 Budget proposes a gross discretionary increase
of $2.9 billion (8.3 percent) over the 2005 level. The
Budget also proposes to increase aviation security fees
to allow the Government to recover most of the cost
of Federal aviation screening operations. Including this
2 For the estimates in this section, the significant changes of this type are: 1) a change
to estimates in the U.S. Coast Guard to reflect distribution of defense-related funding
consistent with appropriations, 2) a change to estimates to capture additional resources
for plant and animal monitoring and surveillance programs in the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service, and 3) a change to estimates to remove resources for the Health Resources and Services Administration’s poison control activities. Historical data has been
adjusted to reflect these changes. Major changes to the classification of homeland security
activities will be reviewed pursuant to section 889 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
3 The Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2004, provided $5.6 billion
for Project BioShield, to remain available through 2013. Pursuant to that Act, specific
amounts became available in 2004 ($0.9 billion) and 2005 ($2.5 billion) that are intended
to cover programmatic activities through 2008. The remainder will become available in
2009. Including this uneven funding stream can distort year-over-year comparisons.

fee proposal, the net non-defense discretionary increase
from 2005 to 2006 is 3.1 percent.
A total of 33 agencies comprise Federal homeland
security funding. Of those, five agencies—the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS), Defense (DOD),

Health and Human Services (HHS), Justice (DOJ) and

The growth in Federal homeland security funding is
indicative of the efforts that have been initiated to secure our Nation. However, it should be recognized that
fully developing the strategic capacity to protect America is a complex effort. There is a wide range of potential threats and risks from terrorism. To optimize lim-

ited resources and minimize the potential social costs
to our free and open society, homeland security activities should be prioritized based on the highest threats
and risks. Homeland security represents a partnership
among the Federal Government, State and local govern-

ments, the private sector, and individual citizens, each
with a unique role in protecting our Nation.
The National Strategy for Homeland Security provides a framework for addressing these challenges. It
guides the highest priority requirements for securing
the Nation. As demonstrated below, the Federal Government has used the National Strategy to guide its
homeland security efforts. For this analysis, agencies
categorize their funding data based on the critical mission areas defined in the National Strategy: intelligence
and warning, border and transportation security, domestic counterterrorism, protecting critical infrastructures and key assets, defending against catastrophic
threats, and emergency preparedness and response. In
all tables, classified funding for the Intelligence Community is combined with the Department of Defense
and titled ‘‘Department of Defense.’’
The National Strategy is a dynamic document; it includes actions that agencies use and must build upon
to measure progress. In some cases, progress may be
easily measured. In others, Federal agencies, along with
Table 3–2.

State and local governments and the private sector,
are working together to develop measurable goals. Finally, in some areas, Federal agencies and partners
must continue to develop a better understanding of
risks and threats—such as the biological agents most
likely to be used by a terrorist group or the highestrisk critical infrastructure targets—in order to develop
benchmarks.
This chapter highlights some significant results from
OMB’s Performance Assessment Rating Tool (PART),
as well as some major performance metrics and milestones. These are not an exhaustive list of homeland
security PART results, measures, or milestones; nor are
they exempt from the performance measurement challenges highlighted above. However, they do illustrate
the Government’s efforts in building a more robust architecture to measure homeland security performance.
The following table summarizes funding levels by the
National Strategy’s mission areas; more detailed analysis is provided in subsequent mission-specific analysis
sections.

National Strategy Mission Area: Intelligence and
Warning
The intelligence and warning mission area covers activities to detect terrorist threats and disseminate terrorist-threat information. The category includes intelligence collection, risk analysis, and threat-vulnerability
integration activities for preventing terrorist attacks.
It also includes information sharing activities among
Federal, State, and local governments, relevant private
sector entities (particularly custodians of critical infrastructure), and the public at large. It does not include
most foreign intelligence collection—although the resulting intelligence may inform homeland security activities—nor does it fully capture classified intelligence
activities. In 2006, the bulk of the funding for intelligence and warning is in DHS (61 percent in 2006),
primarily in the Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection (IAIP) Directorate and the Secret Serv-

ice, DOJ (21 percent in 2006), primarily in the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Intelligence
Community Management Account (13 percent in 2006).
2006 funding for intelligence and warning activities
would increase by 23 percent over the 2005 level.
The major requirements addressed in the intelligence
and warning mission area include:
• Unifying and enhancing intelligence and analytical capabilities to ensure officials have the information they need to prevent attacks; and
• Implementing the Homeland Security Advisory
System and other information sharing and warning mechanisms to allow Federal, State, local, and
private authorities to take action to prevent attacks and protect potential targets.
The recently-passed Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, supported by executive
orders on information sharing, management of the in-

community,
and
the
National
Counterterrorism Center, will improve the Nation’s intelligence and warning capabilities. The new Director
of National Intelligence (DNI) is empowered to set collection and analysis priorities, which will help ensure
that homeland security requirements are addressed.
The DNI is also empowered to ensure that information
sharing takes place across the intelligence community.
These changes implement the recommendations of the
9/11 Commission, and should allow the intelligence
community to ‘‘connect the dots’’ more effectively, develop a better integrated system for identifying and
analyzing terrorist threats, and issue warnings more
rapidly.
In
addition,
the
newly
created
National
Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) is specifically chartered to centralize U.S. Government terrorism threat
analysis and ensure that all agencies receive relevant
analysis and information. The NCTC will serve as the
primary organization in the U.S. Government for analyzing and integrating all intelligence pertaining to terrorism and counterterrorism (excepting purely domestic
terrorism); operate as the central and shared knowledge
bank on known and suspected terrorists and international terror groups; and ensure that agencies, as
appropriate, have access to and receive the all-source
intelligence
support
needed
to
execute
their
counterterrorism plans or perform independent, alternative analysis. NCTC is tasked to coordinate
counterterrorism operations on a global basis and develop strategic, operational plans for the Global War
on Terrorism. The NCTC will use this capability to
allocate requirements to the agencies with the assets
and capabilities to address them. NCTC will not direct
operations, leaving mission execution to the appropriate
agencies. This structure will ensure that the chain of
command remains intact and prevent bureaucratic
micromanagement of counterterrorism missions. Taken
together, the creation of the NCTC and recent legislation and executive orders will ensure that
counterterrorism assets are better allocated and coordinated to produce improved indications and warning intelligence to benefit homeland security.
These structural changes complement ongoing efforts
to improve information sharing. The Information Systems Council (ISC) established by Executive Order
13356, ‘‘Strengthening of Terrorism Information to Protect Americans,’’ was directed to establish an interoper-

able terrorism ‘‘environment’’ to automate information
sharing among the homeland security, law enforcement,
and intelligence communities. The ISC recently reported to the President a plan to improve sharing of
terrorism information through the establishment of an
interoperable terrorism information sharing ‘‘environment.’’ The proposed plan includes a vision for the future of the environment, including additional functions
and capabilities, and a four-phase plan for moving forward, including near-term solutions to address gaps.
The environment will enable the interchange of information between appropriate Federal, State, and local
authorities and the private sector while protecting the
privacy rights and civil liberties of Americans.
As discussed above, the DNI and the NCTC will continue to utilize the unique assets and capabilities of
other Government agencies—some of which are reorganizing to improve these capabilities and better interface
with the new intelligence structure. After 9/11, the FBI
created an Office of Intelligence to establish intelligence
requirements and coordinate information collection and
sharing. The 2005 Department of Justice Appropriations Act and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism
Prevention Act directed the FBI to re-designate the Office of Intelligence as the Directorate of Intelligence.
The new Directorate supervises all national intelligence
programs of the FBI, oversees field intelligence operations, and is developing an FBI intelligence career
service. The 2006 Budget provides $117 million in new
funding for FBI to enhance its intelligence programs.
Performance measures that will be used by the FBI
program include the percentage of intelligence products
meeting all standards and the percentage of investigations that are intelligence-based.
The Department of Homeland Security’s Information
Analysis and Infrastructure Protection Directorate
(IAIP) will also contribute to the new intelligence structure. By maintaining and expanding its partnership the
NCTC, IAIP will continue to coordinate its activities
with other members within the newly reorganized intelligence community. IAIP was established as part of
DHS to fill a unique role: mapping threat information
against our nation’s vulnerabilities and working with
the Federal, State, and local government officials and
private sector custodians of critical infrastructure to
mitigate those vulnerabilities. IAIP’s Office of Information Analysis, which is the Department’s intelligence
division, centralizes analysis and information about

41

threats to homeland security. IAIP is also the focal
point for disseminating information to states and local
entities. For example, IAIP is connected to homeland
security directors of States and territories through the
Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN). All
fifty States and major urban areas are now connected
to HSIN. In 2006, HSIN will be rolled out to major
counties as well. In addition, IAIP’s analysis informs
the Secretary as he administers the Homeland Security
Advisory System.
National Strategy Mission
Transportation Security

Area:

Border

and

This mission area covers activities to protect border
and transportation systems, such as screening airport
passengers, detecting dangerous materials at ports
overseas and at U.S. ports-of-entry, and patrolling our
coasts and the land between ports-of-entry. The majority of funding in this mission area ($18.2 billion, or
94 percent, in 2006) is in DHS, largely for the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the Coast
Guard. Other DHS bureaus and other Departments,
such as State and Agriculture, also play significant
roles. The President’s 2006 request would increase
funding for border and transportation security activities
by 10 percent over the 2005 level.
Securing our borders and transportation systems is
a complex task. Security enhancements in one area may
make another avenue more attractive to terrorists.
Therefore, our border and transportation security strategy aims to make the U.S. borders ‘‘smarter’’—targeting
resources toward the highest risks and sharing information so that frontline personnel can stay ahead of potential adversaries—while facilitating the flow of legitimate visitors and commerce. The creation of DHS,
which unified the Federal Government’s major border
and transportation security resources, facilitates the integration of risk targeting systems and ensures greater
accountability in border and transportation security.
Rather than having separate systems for managing
goods, people, and agricultural products, one agency is
now accountable for ensuring that there is one cohesive
border management system.
In 2005 and 2006, the Administration will focus on
implementing Homeland Security Presidential Directive

Table 3–4.

(HSPD) 11, Comprehensive Terrorist-Related Screening
Procedures. Although resources related to screening are
spread throughout mission areas, the majority are captured in border and transportation security because of
the sizable Federal efforts to screen people, cargo, and
conveyances as they cross U.S. borders or travel
through U.S. transportation systems. A cohesive screening system is a key element of a smart border strategy.
Internally, DHS will modify its own organizational
structure to consolidate screening programs previously
spread throughout the Department’s components. The
new Screening Coordination and Operations Office
(SCO) will manage the two DHS centerpiece screening
programs: US-VISIT, which screens international travelers arriving at our ports of entry; and the Secure
Flight program, which conducts automated screening
of all domestic aviation passengers. At least nine other
existing programs will also be consolidated, including
the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) and the Transportation Worker Identification (TWIC) card programs.
DHS is also leading the HSPD-11 interagency effort
to implement a coordinated approach to terrorist-related screening in immigration, law enforcement, intelligence, counterintelligence, border and transportation
systems, and critical infrastructure. This effort covers
diverse areas, from information sharing to screener
training. SCO will play a central coordinating role. The
2006 Budget includes more than $800 million in discretionary, fee-funded, and mandatory resources to support
SCO.
Key to the Federal government’s screening of international visitors is the US-VISIT program, which will
be incorporated into SCO. US-VISIT is designed to expedite the clearance of legitimate travelers while identifying and denying clearance to those who may intend
to do harm. In 2004 and 2005 the first phases of USVISIT were successfully deployed. The 2006 Budget includes a $50 million increase for accelerated deployment of US-VISIT at land border ports of entry and
for enhancing border personnel’s access to immigration,
criminal, and terrorist information. Through 2006, over
$1.4 billion will be appropriated to support this initiative.
In the area of aviation security, the Administration
continues to strengthen multiple layers of security implemented in the wake of the September 11th attacks.
The Federal Government will continue to improve the

airport screening system to ensure that it provides effective security with less bother to travelers. TSA will
refine its training programs and screening procedures
to ensure a balance among security needs, screening
efficiency, and traveler privacy. While maintaining the
more than 10,000 screening devices at 448 airports,
TSA will also begin to upgrade equipment and address
technology gaps, such as screening for explosives on
higher risk passengers and property. TSA will receive
an increase of more than $400 million over 2005 for
aviation security. Improved domestic and international
passenger prescreening systems and processes will be
fully implemented in 2006 to ensure that higher risk
passengers receive scrutiny before boarding aircraft.
The Budget also proposes to set aviation security fees
at a level that allows the Government to recover most
of the cost of Federal aviation screening operations.
Outside of passenger and baggage screening, DHS
has recently proposed a comprehensive set of air cargo
security requirements. The rulemaking process should
be completed this year. The Budget will support a
strong air cargo prescreening and regulatory enforcement program in CBP and TSA, and air cargo technology research and development program in the DHS
Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate. In addition,
the S&T Directorate will continue its R&D program
on the viability of countermeasures that could be placed
on commercial aircraft to defend against the threat of
shoulder-fired missiles. The Budget provides $110 million to test these systems to determine operational,
safety, and reliability issues.
The security of our seaports is critical since terrorists
may seek to use them to enter the country or introduce
weapons or other dangerous materials. With 95 percent
of all U.S. cargo passing through the Nation’s 361 ports,
a terrorist attack on a seaport could be economically
devastating. The Maritime Transportation Security Act
(MTSA) and its implementing regulations, issued by
DHS in October 2003, require ports, vessels, and facilities to conduct security assessments. In 2006, the Coast
Guard will continue implementation of MTSA to ensure
compliance with port and vessel security standards and
regulations.
The 2006 Budget provides more than $2 billion for
port security across DHS, including $1.9 billion in discretionary funding for Coast Guard port security activities such as Maritime Safety and Security Teams and
harbor patrols for ports with liquefied natural gas terminals. In addition, the Coast Guard budget funds operations to strengthen intelligence collection and surveillance capabilities in the maritime environment, both
of which contribute to the broader Coast Guard effort
to enhance Maritime Domain Awareness.
To secure our borders while also maintaining openness to travel and trade, CBP utilizes a risk-based,
layered security approach. Overall funding for CBP
homeland security activities in 2006 would increase by

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

more than $150 million over the 2005 level, with enhancements supporting additional inspectors at portsof-entry, additional Border Patrol agents, inspection
equipment, enhancements to tracking and targeting
databases, and information technology upgrades. Further, through its Container Security Initiative (CSI),
CBP has addressed an area of identified risk—the security of international shipping containers. CSI screens
cargo containers at foreign ports before the containers
are placed on ships bound for the United States. The
2006 Budget requests $138 million for CSI.
A major focus across mission areas for 2006 is the
effort to upgrade our radiological and nuclear detection
capability. The 2006 Budget provides $178 million to
CBP (along with an increase for radiological and nuclear detection research, discussed below) to defend
against radiological and nuclear threats by deploying
current non-intrusive inspection technologies and piloting next-generation radiation detection technologies.
The 2006 PART on the Inspection Technology program
found that while the program is lacking in specific targets to measure long-term success, it has a very clear
program purpose and sound management.
To ensure detention and removal of illegal aliens
present in the U.S., the 2006 Budget also supports a
$176 million increase for the Detention and Removal
Program. This includes funding to expand the program
to apprehend alien fugitives and to increase efforts to
ensure that aliens convicted of crimes in the U.S. are
deported directly from correctional institutions after
their time is served. A 2005 PART found this program
moderately effective because DHS Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) has reorganized its operations and engaged in significant strategic and performance planning efforts to identify ambitious goals to improve program performance.
The State Department is the second largest agency
contributor to border and transportation security. The
Bureau of Consular Affairs Border Security program
consists of visa, passport and American Citizen Services
programs. The State Department Border Security program underwent a PART analysis in 2004, 2005 and
2006 budgets, and was found to be effective. The analysis determined that State, working in coordination
with the other border and transportation security agencies, has effectively targeted programs and funding, established achievable annual and long term goals as well
as developed thoughtful policies that not only secure
processes related to screening of all travelers to the
US but also facilitate legitimate travel. The 2006 Budget includes funding in State for technology related to
increased interviews, screening, and information sharing between Federal agencies on visa applicants; the
development and production of new machine-readable
biometric U.S. passports; and for increased interoperability of border security and counterterrorism systems
between State, DHS, and FBI.

Since the attacks of September 11th, preventing and
interdicting terrorist activity within the United States
has become a priority for law enforcement at all levels
of government. The major requirements addressed in
the domestic counterterrorism mission area include:
• Developing a proactive law enforcement capability
to prevent terrorist attacks.
• Apprehending potential terrorists.
• Improving law enforcement cooperation and information
sharing
to
enhance
domestic
counterterrorism efforts across all levels of government.
Over the past three years, FBI has transformed its
organization and established priorities to ensure that
protecting the U.S. from terrorist attack is its primary
focus. To support this transformation, resources have
been
shifted
from
lower
priority
programs,
counterterrorism analytical capability has been enhanced, additional field investigators have been hired,
and headquarters oversight and management of terrorism cases has been strengthened. Overall, FBI resources in the domestic counterterrorism category have
increased from $0.9 billion in 2002 to over $1.7 billion
in 2006, with the 2006 Budget providing an increase
of approximately $300 million over the 2005 level. The
increase will support a range of activities, such as
counterterrorism investigations and countering cyber
crime. To specifically promote information sharing efforts, it includes an additional $17 million for FBI to
upgrade its Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System. This will enhance system capacity,
speed, and capabilities, and will promote information
sharing between the FBI, DHS, and other agencies.
By merging existing immigration and customs enforcement functions into ICE, the Department of Homeland Security created one of America’s largest law en-

forcement agencies. The Nation is better prepared to
apprehend potential terrorists because DHS has combined the information and resources to identify and
investigate illegal activities—such as smuggling, identity theft, and money laundering, and trafficking in
dangerous materials. The 2006 PART found that the
investigative arm of ICE, the Office of Investigations,
has made significant progress in the integration of
former customs and immigration investigators, and has
started to reap the benefits of additional investigative
authorities. However, the program must institute
stronger financial and management controls to ensure
appropriate expenditure and budgeting of resources and
to hold managers and agency partners accountable for
performance results. The 2006 Budget provides an increase of $34 million to expand these enforcement activities.
The interagency Terrorist Screening Center (TSC) is
a hub for domestic counterterrorism activity. TSC was
established in September 2003 pursuant to HSPD-6 in
order to consolidate terror screening watch lists and
to support Federal screeners worldwide. In its first
year, TSC has created a single point for terrorist
screening data; established a round-the-clock call center
for officials encountering suspects; coordinated response
for Federal, State, and local law enforcement; and instituted a formal process for tracking encounters. TSC
staff, who include participants from DOD, DHS, DOJ,
State, and other agencies, currently field nearly 100
calls per day from Federal, State, and local law enforcement representatives. The 2006 Budget provides $104
million for TSC, a $75 million increase over 2005, to
enable TSC to meet its increasing responsibilities, particularly in support of the DHS Secure Flight program.

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

National Strategy Mission Area: Protecting Critical Infrastructure and Key Assets
Funding in the protecting critical infrastructure and
key assets mission area captures the efforts of the U.S.
Government to secure the Nation’s infrastructure, including information infrastructure, from terrorist attacks. Protecting the Nation’s key assets is a complex
challenge because an estimated more than 85 percent
are not Federally-owned. DOD reports the largest share
of funding in this category for 2006 ($8.7 billion, or
56 percent), and includes programs focusing on physical
security and improving the military’s ability to prevent
or mitigate the consequences of attacks against personnel and bases. DHS has overall responsibility for
prioritizing and executing infrastructure protection activities at a national level and accounts for $2.8 billion
(18 percent) of 2006 funding. A total of 26 other agencies report funding to protect their own assets and to

work with States, localities, and the private sector to
reduce vulnerabilities in their areas of expertise. The
President’s 2006 request increases funding for activities
to protect critical infrastructure and key assets by $0.7
billion (5 percent) over the 2005 level.
Securing America’s critical infrastructure and key assets is a complex task. The major requirements include:
• Unifying disparate efforts to protect critical infrastructure across the Federal Government, and
with State, local, and private stakeholders.
• Building and maintaining a complete and accurate
assessment of America’s critical infrastructure and
key assets and prioritizing protective action based
on risk.
• Enabling effective partnerships to protect critical
infrastructure.
• Reducing threats and vulnerabilities in cyberspace.

IAIP is the focal point for DHS infrastructure protection efforts, and is responsible for prioritizing and addressing requirements at a national level. IAIP maintains the National Asset Database, which catalogues
critical infrastructure and key assets. IAIP leverages
tactical intelligence with a risk-based strategy that
identifies critical infrastructures in targeted areas, assesses the vulnerabilities of that infrastructure, and
recommends protective measures. IAIP conducts site
visits and assessments of more than 1,000 sites each
year, and has used this information to develop site
security guidelines for nuclear power plants and chemical facilities. Security guidelines are also being developed for all infrastructure sectors, covering spent nuclear fuel, petroleum refineries, natural gas facilities,
and railroads, for example. In addition, IAIP trains
State and local officials and infrastructure owners to
improve security in the areas immediately surrounding
critical sites. The 2006 Budget provides $530 million

2005
Enacted

2006
Request

for IAIP activities in the protecting critical infrastructures and key assets mission area. In addition, the
Administration proposes $600 million for Targeted Infrastructure Protection (TIP) grants. Awarded through
the Office of State and Local Government Coordination
and Preparedness, TIP grants and assistance will supplement state and local infrastructure protection efforts,
especially detection and security investments.
Cyberspace security is a key element of infrastructure
protection because the internet and other computer systems link infrastructure sectors. The consequences of
a cyber attack could cascade across the economy, imperiling public safety and national security. To address
this threat, DHS has established the National Cyber
Security Division (NCSD) to identify, analyze and reduce cyber threats and vulnerabilities, coordinate incident response, and provide technical assistance. Since
its formal establishment in 2003, NCSD has worked
with the private sector to improve security of the Na-

45

3. HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING ANALYSIS

tion’s information infrastructure. For example, it coordinated the response and mitigation of the Blaster worm
and SoBig virus. NCSD has also established the U.S.
Computer Emergency Response Team (US-CERT). USCERT supports watch and warning capability responsible for tracking incident and trend data, ranking associated severity, and generating real-time alerts. $73
million is requested for the NCSD in 2006.
HSPD-7, signed in December 2003, established a national policy to protect critical infrastructures and key
resources from attack, ensure the delivery of essential
goods and services, and maintain public safety and security. Under HSPD-7, DHS is responsible for coordinating Federal critical infrastructure protection efforts.
To provide a consistent structure to integrate critical
infrastructure protection, DHS has an interim National
Infrastructure Protection Plan. Under the plan’s framework, DHS will coordinate the infrastructure protection
efforts of other Federal departments and agencies. A
number of agencies rely on specialized expertise and
long-standing relationships with industry in conducting
infrastructure protection activities.
Recognizing that each infrastructure sector possesses
it own unique characteristics, a sector-specific agency
has been designated to oversee infrastructure protection
efforts for each sector. Consequently, sector-specific
agencies are pursuing infrastructure protection efforts
in concert with DHS. For example, the Department of
Energy is coordinating protection activities within the
energy sector. The Department of Agriculture is protecting agricultural resources, a source of essential commodities, through research and testing programs. There
are 13 critical infrastructure sectors and nine sectorspecific agencies.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the
water sector-specific agency under HSPD-7, guides the
protection of water infrastructure through training and
technical support for water utilities and grants for
State water security coordinators. In 2006, EPA will
address the HSPD-9 requirement to lead the development of surveillance and monitoring systems for water
quality. EPA will introduce Water Sentinel, a program

Table 3–7.

to develop and demonstrate cost-effective, real-time
sampling and analysis capabilities at critical points in
a water system for early detection of disease, pest, or
poisonous agents. The Administration’s request for $44
million in 2006 will fund Water Sentinel as a pilot
program in five major cities.
National Strategy Mission Area: Defending
Against Catastrophic Threats
The defending against catastrophic threats mission
area covers activities to research, develop, and deploy
technologies, systems, and medical measures to detect
and counter the threat of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons. The agencies
with the most significant resources in this category are
HHS ($2.0 billion, or 51 percent, of the 2006 total),
largely for research in the National Institutes of
Health, and in DHS, mostly for the Directorate of
Science and Technology (S&T) ($1.2 billion, or 31 percent, of the 2006 total), to help develop and field technologies to counter CBRN threats. The President’s 2006
request would increase funding for activities defending
against catastrophic threats by 15 percent over the
2005 level.
The major requirements addressed in this mission
area include:
• Developing countermeasures, including broad
spectrum vaccines, antimicrobials, and antidotes.
• Preventing terrorist use of CBRN weapons
through detection systems and procedures, and
improving decontamination techniques.
A key element in addressing these requirements is
developing and maintaining adequate countermeasures
for a CBRN attack. This not only means stockpiling
countermeasures that are currently available, but developing new countermeasures for agents that currently
have none and next-generation countermeasures that
are safer and more effective than those that presently
exist. Also, unlike an attack with conventional weapons,
a CBRN attack may not be immediately apparent.
Working to ensure earlier detection and characterization of an attack helps protect and save lives.

The Federal Government is addressing these requirements. The DHS Biological Countermeasures Office
budget request is $385 million in 2006, a $22 million
increase over 2005. This program received an effective
PART rating, demonstrating significant accomplishments for a new program. Within the Biological Countermeasures Office, new vaccine research funds will target specific vaccines that can be used to defend our
food supply from the intentional or accidental introduction of foreign animal diseases into the country. These
vaccines will help protect the Nation from the catastrophic economic consequences that a major disease
outbreak would cause. Funds are also requested for
a National Agrodefense Facility that will be able to
analyze pathogens in large animals. The 2006 Budget
also includes $59 million for the Department of Agriculture to complete a state-of-the-art animal disease
research and diagnostic facility at Ames, Iowa.
The Budget continues to invest in efforts to decrease
the time between an attack and implementation of Federal, State and local response protocols. The Science
and Technology Directorate will expand and enhance
the BioWatch environmental monitoring program,
which samples and analyzes air in over 30 metropolitan
areas to continually check for dangerous biological
agents. The program is designed to provide early warning of a large-scale biological weapon attack, allowing
the distribution of life-saving treatment and preventative measures before the development of serious and
widespread illnesses.
The Administration maintains HHS’ investment in
developing medical countermeasures to CBRN threats,
investing nearly $1.8 billion, an increase of $56 million
over 2005 and $1.7 billion over the level prior to September 11th (this includes funding for programs focused
on chemical and radiological and nuclear countermeasures referenced below). HHS will continue to improve human health surveillance with $79 million dedicated to the BioSense program (collecting information
from hospitals, emergency departments, and laboratories to identify ‘‘real-time’’ trends), increasing laboratory capacity, and augmenting the number and quality
of border health and quarantine stations. The Food and
Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture will also conduct surveillance to ensure the security of the food supply. Information collected from
these programs will be disseminated to the National
Biosurveillance Integration Center at DHS.
In addition, the Administration proposes to double
the amount of spending on chemical agent R&D conducted by DHS, including $36 million in additional
spending on non-traditional chemical agent threats, enhancing our ability to detect and counter these weapons. This funding level includes the creation of a stateof-the-art materials testing facility that will be housed
with the Department of Defense chemical countermeasures programs. The National Institutes of Health
will also devote $50 million to research chemical agent
countermeasures.

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

To protect against a nuclear or radiological weapon
entering the country, a new Domestic Nuclear Detection
Office (DNDO) is being created in the Department of
Homeland Security. The DNDO will be responsible for
developing and deploying a comprehensive system to
detect and report any attempt to import a nuclear explosive device or radiological material. This Office will
have oversight of all research and development for detection, identification, and reporting of radiological and
nuclear materials. It will also be responsible for establishing response protocols to ensure that the detection
of a nuclear explosive device or radiological material
leads to timely and effective action by military, law
enforcement, emergency response, and other appropriate government assets.
The Administration is requesting $262 million in
DHS R&D funds for advanced detection devices to minimize the likelihood that a radiological or nuclear device
could enter the United States; this more than doubles
the amount provided in 2005. This R&D program will
be integrated with our overseas non-proliferation and
border security efforts to keep these devices out of the
hands of terrorists and outside the borders of this country. The DNDO will also work with CBP on its pilot
program to deploy next-generation radiation detectors.
Finally, the Office will work with State and local grant
recipients to best deploy their radiation detection assets
to work in concert with Federal detection efforts.
National Strategy Mission Area: Emergency Preparedness and Response
The Emergency Preparedness and Response mission
area covers agency efforts to prepare for and minimize
the damage from major incidents and disasters, particularly terrorist attacks that endanger lives and property
or disrupt government operations. The mission area encompasses a broad range of agency incident management activities, as well as grants and other assistance
to States and localities. DHS maintains the largest
share of funding in this category ($2.7 billion, or 45
percent, for 2006), mainly for preparedness grant assistance to State and local first responders. HHS, the second largest contributor ($2.2 billion, or 37 percent, in
2006), also assists States and localities to upgrade public health capacity. A total of 24 other agencies include
emergency preparedness and response funding. A number maintain specialized response assets that may be
called upon in select circumstances, and others report
only funding for their agency’s internal preparedness
capability. Excluding BioShield, in the President’s 2006
Budget, funding for emergency preparedness and response activities would increase by $0.4 billion (6 percent) over the 2005 level. The major requirements addressed in this mission area include:
• Establishing measurable goals for national preparedness and ensuring that Federal funding supports these goals
• Ensuring that Federal programs to train and
equip States and localities meet national pre-

paredness goals in a coordinated and complementary manner.
• Encouraging standardization and interoperability
of first responder equipment, especially for communications.
• Building a national training, exercise, and evaluation system.
• Implementing the National Incident Management
System.
• Preparing health care providers for a mass casualty event.
• Augmenting America’s pharmaceutical and vaccine stockpiles.
Many of the key elements of the national emergency
response system are already in place. During 2004, separate Federal response plans were integrated into a
single all-discipline National Response Plan. To ensure
that Federal, State, and local investments translate
into improvements in preparedness, we must continue
to identify capability gaps, establish national preparedness goals, and improve response and recovery efforts
at all levels of government. A related challenge is ensuring that investments in State and local preparedness
are focused on new response capabilities, and not supplanting normal operating expenses. DHS is leading
an interagency effort to better match Federal resources
with achieving national preparedness goals.
From 2001 through 2005, the Federal Government
has allocated $18.2 billion in State and local terrorism
preparedness grant funding from the Departments of
Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and
Justice, increasing spending from an annual level of
approximately $300 million in 2001 to $4.8 billion in
the 2006 request. The funding growth has been directed
to Federal assistance for State and local preparedness
and response activities, including equipping and training first responders and preparing the public health
infrastructure for a range of terrorist threats. The Federal Government has also taken steps to rationalize
and simplify the distribution of State and local assistance; better target funds based on risks, threats, vulnerability and need; and develop and implement national preparedness goals. In addition, DHS’ new Office

of Interoperability and Compatibility is developing a
strategic plan to standardize public safety communications equipment and protocols.
In 2005, DHS will begin to implement the National
Response Plan and develop national preparedness
goals. DHS will leverage the existing network of State
and local responder training facilities by focusing more
effort on ‘‘training the trainer.’’ DHS will organize 150
terrorism preparedness exercises during 2005, and provide grant funding to support approximately 400 exercises at the State and local level. The 2006 Budget
continues to provide coordinated terrorism preparedness training and equipment for State and local responders across the various responder agencies. The
2006 request includes $3.6 billion for terrorism preparedness grants, training, and exercises to be administered by the Office of State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness within DHS, and proposes
a significant restructuring in the grant allocation process to better address threats and needs. The Budget
also supports a range of Federal response capabilities,
including providing $110 million for the Department
of Energy’s Nuclear Emergency Support Team and
other emergency response, management, and operations
assets. The capabilities of these teams range from providing radiological assistance in support of State and
local agencies to responding to major incidents worldwide.
In 2005 and 2006 a new catastrophic incident response planning initiative will be undertaken. This
planning effort will span across Federal agencies, as
well as State and local governments. In addition to
this planning initiative, the budget includes $80 million
in the Departments of Homeland Security and Health
and Human Services to strengthen the nation’s capabilities to respond to a mass casualty event.
The Budget reflects ongoing investment for Project
BioShield. BioShield is designed to stimulate the development of the next generation of countermeasures by
allowing the Federal Government to buy critically needed vaccines and medications for biodefense as soon as
experts agree they are safe and effective enough to
be added to the Strategic National Stockpile. This pro-

48

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

gram provides an incentive to manufacture these countermeasures. BioShield is a shared responsibility, joining the intelligence capabilities of DHS with the medical expertise of HHS.
The Budget includes $600 million for the Strategic
National Stockpile to maintain and augment the supply
of vaccines and other countermeasures that can be
made available within 12 hours in the event of a terrorist attack or other public health emergency. This
now includes funding for storage and maintenance of
products purchased through BioShield, and $50 million
for the purchase of supplies under the medical surge
capacity initiative. HHS has the lead role in preparing
public health providers for catastrophic terrorism. For
2005, HHS will provide $483 million to continue improvements for hospital infrastructure and mutual aid
through the Health Resources and Services Administration, and $797 million for States through the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention for upgrades to
State and local public health capacity. This investment
will bring the total assistance provided by HHS to
States, local governments and health care providers
since 2001 to more than $7 billion.
Non-Federal Expenditures 4
State and local governments and private-sector firms
also have devoted resources of their own to the task
of defending against terrorist threats. Some of the additional spending has been of a one-time nature, such
as investment in new security equipment and structures; some additional spending has been ongoing, such
as hiring more personnel, and increasing overtime for
existing security personnel. In many cases, own-source
spending has supplemented the resources provided by
the Federal government.
Many governments and businesses are placing a high
priority on, and providing additional resources for, security. On the other hand, many entities have not increased their spending. A survey conducted by the National Association of Counties in the spring of 2004
found that as a result of the homeland security process
of intergovernmental planning and funding, three out
of four counties believed they were better prepared to
respond to terrorist threats. Moreover, almost 40 percent of the surveyed counties had appropriated their
own funds to assist with homeland security. Ownsource resources supplemented funds provided by states
4 OMB

or private entities directly.

and the Federal Government. However, the same survey revealed that 54 percent of counties had not used
any of their own funds. 5
There is also a diversity of responses in the businesses community. In a survey conducted by the Conference Board in 2003, just over half of the companies
reported that they had permanently increased security
spending post-September 11, 2001. About 15 percent
of the companies surveyed had increased their security
spending by 20 percent or more. Large increases in
spending were especially evident in critical industries,
such as transportation, energy, financial services, media
and telecommunications, information technology, and
healthcare. However, about one-third of the surveyed
companies reported that they had not increased their
security spending after September 11th. 6
In light of the range of spending responses to the
new security environment and the inherent difficulty
of obtaining survey results that are representative of
the entire universe of States, localities, and businesses,
it is not surprising that estimates of non-Federal security spending also differ widely. Estimates by two private consulting firms for 2004 reveal that States and
localities may have spent as little as $8 billion (according to International Horizons Unlimited) or as much
as $15 billion (according to Deloitte Consulting). The
business sector may have spent about $5 billion (International Horizons Unlimited) or as much as $46 billion
(Deloitte Consulting).
The estimates by International Horizons Unlimited
were published in September 2003. They are on a Federal fiscal year basis. The Deloitte Consulting estimates
were published in June 2002. They are on a fiscal year
basis appropriate to the reporting entity. For State and
local governments, both sets of estimates attempted to
remove spending funded by Federal grants to avoid
double counting spending that was reported by the Federal Government.

STRENGTHENING FEDERAL STATISTICS

Federal statistical programs produce key information
about a range of topics of interest to public and private
decision makers, including the economy, the population,
agriculture, crime, education, energy, the environment,
health, science, and transportation. The ability of governments, businesses, and citizens to make appropriate
decisions about budgets, employment, investments,
taxes, and a host of other important matters depends
critically on the ready availability of relevant, accurate,
and timely Federal statistics. The Federal statistical
community remains on alert for opportunities to
strengthen these measures of our Nation’s performance.
For example, during 2004, Federal statistical agencies
launched the first new economic indicator survey in
40 years—the Quarterly Services Survey (Census Bureau); expanded regional economic data from 318 to
934 American communities (BEA); successfully adopted
new collection and processing technologies that will
greatly accelerate the release of data from the National
Health Interview Survey (NCHS); and completed the
first data collection on the cyberinfrastructure of academic and biomedical facilities (NSF’s SRS).
For Federal statistical programs to effectively benefit
such a wide range of users, the underlying data systems
must be viewed as credible. In order to foster this credibility, Federal statistical programs seek to adhere to
high quality standards and to maintain integrity and
efficiency in the production of statistics. As the collectors and providers of these basic data, Federal statistical agencies act as data stewards—balancing public
and private decision makers’ needs for information with
legal and ethical obligations to minimize reporting burden, respect respondents’ privacy, and protect the confidentiality of the data provided to the Government.
This chapter discusses the development of standards
that principal statistical programs can use to assess
their performance and presents highlights of their 2006
budget proposals.
Performance Standards
Statistical programs maintain the quality of their
data or information products as well as their credibility
by setting high performance standards for their activities. The statistical agencies and statistical units represented on the Interagency Council on Statistical Policy (ICSP) have collaborated on developing an initial
set of common performance standards for use under
the Government Performance and Results Act and in
completing the Administration’s Program Assessment

Rating Tool (PART). Federal statistical agencies have
agreed that there are six conceptual dimensions within
two general areas of focus that are key to measuring
and monitoring statistical programs. The first area of
focus is Product Quality, encompassing the traditional
dimensions of relevance, accuracy, and timeliness. The
second area of focus is Program Performance, encompassing the dimensions of cost, dissemination, and mission achievement.
Statistical agencies historically have focused on measuring performance in the area of product quality, especially the dimensions most amenable to quantitative
measurement, specifically accuracy and timeliness. Relevance, also an accepted measure of quality, can be
either a qualitative description of the usefulness of
products or a quantitative measure such as a customer
satisfaction score. Relevance is more difficult to measure, and the indicators that do exist are more varied.
Program performance standards form the basis for
evaluating effectiveness. They address questions such
as: Are taxpayer dollars spent most effectively? Are
products made available to those who need them? Are
agencies meeting their mission requirements or making
it possible for other agencies to meet their missions?
The indicators available to measure program performance for statistical activities currently are less well developed.
Product quality and program performance standards
are designed to serve as indicators when answering
specific questions in the Administration’s PART process. Chart 4–1 presents each principal Federal statistical agency’s assessment of the status of its current
and planned use of indicators on the six dimensions.
During the past year, four agencies (BTS, EIA, NCES,
and SRS) have improved the status of their indicators.
Use of the indicators may be for internal management,
strategic planning, or annual performance reporting.
The dimensions shown in the figure reflect an overall
set of indicators for statistical activities but the specific
measures vary among the individual programs depending on their unique characteristics and requirements.
Annual performance reports and PARTs contain these
specific measures as well as additional information
about performance goals and targets and whether a
program is meeting, or making measurable progress
toward meeting, its performance goals. The examples
below illustrate different ways agencies track their performance on each dimension.

Description of Dimensions

Product Quality
Relevance: Qualitative or quantitative descriptions of the degree to which products and services are useful to users and responsive to users’ needs.
Accuracy: Qualitative or quantitative measure of important features of correctness, validity, and reliability of data and information products measured as degree of closeness
to target values.
Timeliness: Qualitative or quantitative measure of the timing of information releases.
Program Performance
Cost: Quantitative measure of the dollar amount used to produce data products and services.
Dissemination: Qualitative or quantitative information on the availability, accessibility, and distribution of products and services.
Mission Achievement: Qualitative or quantitative information about the effect of, or satisfaction with, statistical programs.
Key to Statistical Agencies
BEA = Bureau of Economic Analysis, Department of Commerce
BJS = Bureau of Justice Statistics, Department of Justice
BLS = Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor

Product Quality: Statistical agencies agree that
product quality encompasses many attributes, including
(but not limited to) relevance, accuracy, and timeliness.

The basic measures in this group relate to the quality
of specific products, thereby providing actionable information to managers. These are ‘‘outcome-oriented’’

4.

STRENGTHENING FEDERAL STATISTICS

measures and are key to the usability of information
products. Statistical agencies or units establish targets
and monitor how well targets are met. In some sense,
relevance relates to ‘‘doing the right things,’’ while accuracy and timeliness relate to ‘‘doing things right.’’
Relevance: Qualitative or quantitative descriptions
of the degree to which products and services are
useful and responsive to users’ needs. Relevance
of data products and analytic reports may be monitored through a professional review process and
ongoing contacts with data users. Product relevance may be indicated by customer satisfaction
with product content, information from customers
about product use, demonstration of product improvements, comparability with other data series,
agency responses to customer suggestions for improvement, new or customized products/services,
frequency of use, or responses to data requests
from users (including policy makers). Through a
variety of professional review activities, agencies
maintain the relevance, accuracy, and validity of
their products, and encourage data users and
other stakeholders to contribute to the agency’s
data collection and dissemination programs. Striving for relevance requires monitoring to ensure
that information systems anticipate change and
evolve to appropriately measure our dynamic society and economy.
Accuracy: Qualitative or quantitative measures of
important features of correctness, validity, and reliability of data and information products measured as degree of closeness to target values. For
statistical data, accuracy may be defined as the
degree of closeness to the target value and measured as sampling error and various aspects of nonsampling error (e.g., response rates, size of revisions, coverage, edit performance). For analysis
products, accuracy may be the quality of the reasoning, reasonableness of assumptions, and clarity
of the exposition, typically measured and monitored through review processes. In addition, accuracy is assessed and improved by internal reviews,
comparisons of data among different surveys, linkages of survey data to administrative records, redesigns of surveys, or expansions of sample sizes.
Timeliness: Qualitative or quantitative measure of
timing of information releases. Timeliness may be
measured as time from the close of the reference
period to the release of information, or customer
satisfaction with timeliness. Timeliness may also
be measured as how well agencies meet scheduled
and publicized release dates, expressed as a percent of release dates met.
Program Performance: Statistical agencies agree
that program performance encompasses balancing the
dimensions of cost, dissemination, and mission accomplishment for the agency as a whole; operating efficiently and effectively; ensuring that customers receive

55
the information they need; and serving the information
needs of the Nation. Costs of products or programs
may be used to develop efficiency measures. Dissemination involves making sure customers receive the information they need via the most appropriate mechanisms.
Mission achievement means that the information program makes a difference. Hence, three key dimensions
are being used to indicate program performance: cost
(input), dissemination (output), and mission achievement (outcome).
Cost: Quantitative measure of the dollar amount
used to produce data products or services. The
development and use of financial performance
measures within the Federal Government is an
established goal, and the intent of such measures
is to determine the ‘‘true costs’’ of various programs or alternative modes of operation at the
Federal level. Examples of cost data include full
costs of products or programs, return on investment, dollar value of efficiencies, and ratios of
cost to products distributed.
Dissemination: Qualitative or quantitative information on the availability, accessibility, and distribution of products and services. Most agencies
have goals to improve product accessibility, particularly through the Internet. Typical measures
include: on-demand requests fulfilled, product
downloads, degree of accessibility, customer satisfaction with ease of use, number of participants
at user conferences, citations of agency data in
the media, number of Internet user sessions, number of formats in which data are available, amount
of technical support provided to data users, exhibits to inform the public about information products, issuance of newsletters describing products,
usability testing of web sites, and assessing compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act,
which requires Federal agencies to make their
electronic and information technology accessible to
people with disabilities.
Mission Achievement: Qualitative or quantitative
information about the effect of, or satisfaction
with, statistical programs. For Government statistical programs, this dimension responds to the
question—have we achieved our objectives and
met the expectations of our stakeholders? Under
this dimension, statistical programs document
their contributions to the goals and missions of
parent departments and other agencies, the Administration, the Congress, and information users
in the private sector and the general public. For
statistical programs, this broad dimension involves
meeting recognized societal information needs and
also addresses the linkage between statistical outputs and programmatic outcomes.
However, identifying this linkage is far from
straightforward. It is frequently difficult to trace
the effects of information products on the public

56

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

good. Such products often are necessary intermediate inputs in the creation of high visibility
information whose societal benefit is clearly recognized. For example, the economic statistics produced by a variety of agencies are directly used
by the Bureau of Economic Analysis in the calculation of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP),
which analysts universally use to assess changes
in the level of domestic economic activity. Similarly, statistics from specific surveys are directly
used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which
is widely used in diverse applications, such as indexing pensions for retirees. As a result, a number
of statistical agencies can claim credit for contributing to the GDP and/or the CPI and to the many
uses of these information products. In addition,
the statistics produced by statistical agencies are
used to track the performance of programs managed by their parent or other organizations related
to topics such as crime, education, energy, the environment, health, science, and transportation.
Moreover, beyond the direct and focused uses of
statistical products and programs, the statistical
agencies and their products serve a diverse and
dispersed set of data users working on a broad
range of applications. Users include government
policy makers at the Federal, State, and local levels, business leaders, households, academic researchers, analysts at public policy institutes and
trade groups, marketers and planners in the private sector, and many others. Information produced by statistical agencies often is combined
with other information for use in the decisionmaking process. Thus, the relationship between
program outputs and their beneficial uses and outcomes is often complex and difficult to track. Consequently, agencies use both qualitative and quantitative indicators to make this linkage as explicit
as feasible.
In the absence of preferred quantitative indicators,
qualitative narratives can indicate how statistical
agency products contribute to and evaluate
progress toward important goals established for
government or private programs. In particular,
narratives can highlight how statistical agencies
measure the Nation’s social and economic structure, and how the availability of the information
influences changes in policies and programs.
These narratives contribute to demonstrating mission accomplishment, particularly in response to
questions in Section I of the PART, ‘‘program purpose and design.’’ Narratives may describe statistical information’s effects on measuring agency
policy or change of policy, supporting research focused on policy issues, informing debate on policy
issues, or providing in-house consulting support.
In addition to narratives, quantitative measures
may be used to reflect mission achievement. For

example, customer satisfaction with the statistical
agency or unit indicates if the agency or unit has
met the expectations of its stakeholders.
Of the 14 principal Federal statistical agencies that
are members of the ICSP, six agencies have programs
that have been assessed using the PART process. Most
of these agencies’ programs have received PART summary ratings of Effective or Moderately Effective, as
shown in Chart 4–2. While recognizing the strength
of the Energy Information Administration’s purpose and
management, EIA’s PART evaluation found that it
lacks specific annual performance measures, baselines,
and targets and should consider enhancing independent
expert evaluation of its major program areas. EIA is
correcting both of these shortcomings, which should
bring its PART rating into line with those of its sister
agencies. As additional ICSP agencies have an opportunity to undergo the PART process, the agencies plan
to continue to use the results of the collaborative performance standards development effort to help maintain and extend their generally favorable assessments.

Highlights of 2006 Program Budget Proposals
The programs that provide essential statistical information for use by governments, businesses, researchers,
and the public are carried out by some 70 agencies
spread across every department and several independent agencies. Approximately 40 percent of the
funding for these programs provides resources for
twelve agencies or units that have statistical activities
as their principal mission. (Please see Table 4–1.) The
remaining funding supports work in 60-plus agencies
or units that carry out statistical activities in conjunction with other missions such as providing services or
enforcing regulations. More comprehensive budget and
program information about the Federal statistical system will be available in OMB’s annual report, Statistical Programs of the United States Government, Fiscal
Year 2006, when it is published later this year. The
following highlights elaborate on the Administration’s

5. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
I.

INTRODUCTION

U.S. investments in science and technology in past
decades have greatly enhanced the standard of living
and quality of life we enjoy today and have generated
significant economic growth in the United States. Advances have been possible only with the support of both
public and private investment in research and development (R&D).
The U.S. Government boasts the highest level of R&D
investment in the world: $132 billion. However, unlike
40 years ago, when Federal R&D expenditures were
double those of the private sector, industry R&D spending now exceeds Federal Government R&D spending.
While the U.S. investment is, by a wide margin, the
largest in the world, we also strive to make sure it
is going to the highest priority and highest quality
work. The President’s 2006 Budget maintains a strong
focus on winning the war against terrorism, while moderating the growth in overall spending, and this focus
is reflected in the R&D the Administration proposes
for 2006. In addition, recognizing that fundamental research fuels future innovation and technology development, the Administration has maintained high levels
of support for priority R&D areas such as
nanotechnology, information technology, hydrogen energy, and space exploration.
The Federal Government funds many types of R&D.
First, the Government is the primary supporter of basic
research, which is directed toward greater understanding of fundamental scientific phenomena. Basic research is the source of tomorrow’s discoveries and new
capabilities, and this long-term research will fuel further gains in economic productivity, quality of life, and
homeland and national security. The Government has
an important role in supporting applied research, which
is driven by more targeted scientific questions and specific needs, and development, which applies scientific
knowledge and technology to specific needs. Together,
II.

these R&D activities are critical for ensuring that agencies effectively implement their missions.
In addition to direct R&D investments, the Federal
Government also helps stimulate private investment
and provide incentives for private sources to continue
to fuel the discovery and innovation of tomorrow. The
Administration proposes to do this, for instance, by permanently extending the Research and Experimentation
Tax Credit.
The Administration continues to meet the President’s
charge to improve the management, performance, and
results of the Federal Government. By strengthening
effective programs and addressing lower performers
through reforms or reallocations to higher performers,
we will increase the productivity of the Federal R&D
portfolio and transcend the attention given to year-toyear marginal increases or decreases. Additionally,
while it can be difficult to assess the outcomes of some
research programs, many of which may not fully pay
off for years, agencies can establish meaningful program goals and measure annual progress and performance in appropriate ways.
Towards that end, the Administration continues to
implement and improve investment criteria for R&D
programs across the Government as part of the President’s Management Agenda. Further, the Government
will coordinate interrelated and complementary R&D
efforts among agencies, combining programs where appropriate to improve effectiveness and eliminate redundancy, to leverage these resources to the greatest effect.
This chapter discusses how the Administration will
improve the performance of R&D programs through investment principles and other means that encourage
and reinforce quality research. Highlights of the coordination of multi-agency R&D priority areas are also included. The chapter concludes with details of R&D
funding across the Federal Government.

IMPROVING THE PERFORMANCE OF R&D PROGRAMS

R&D is critically important for keeping our Nation
economically competitive, and it will help solve the
challenges we face in health, defense, energy, and the
environment. Therefore, and consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act, every Federal
R&D dollar must be invested as effectively as possible.
The discussion below will focus on the use of R&D
investment criteria and the effect on overall performance of research earmarks on the Federal R&D portfolio.

R&D Investment Criteria
The Administration is improving the effectiveness of
the Federal Government’s investments in R&D by applying transparent investment criteria in analyses that
inform recommendations for program funding and management. R&D performance assessment must be done
with care. Research often leads scientists and engineers
down unpredictable pathways with unpredictable results. This outcome can require special consideration
when measuring an R&D program’s performance
against its initial goals.

61

62

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

With this in mind, the Administration is improving
methods for setting priorities based on expected results,
including applying specific criteria that programs or
projects must meet to be started or continued, clear
milestones for gauging progress, and improved metrics
for assessing results.
As directed by the President’s Management Agenda,
the R&D Investment Criteria accommodate the wide
range of R&D activities, from basic research to development and demonstration programs, by addressing three
fundamental aspects of R&D:
• Relevance—Programs must be able to articulate
why they are important, relevant, and appropriate
for Federal investment;
• Quality—Programs must justify how funds will be
allocated to ensure quality; and
• Performance—Programs must be able to monitor
and document how well the investments are performing.

In addition, R&D projects and programs relevant to
industry are expected to apply criteria to determine
the appropriateness of the public investment, enable
comparisons of proposed and demonstrated benefits,
and provide meaningful decision points for completing
or transitioning the activity to the private sector.
As discussed throughout the 2006 Budget, the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) and the agencies
are working on other initiatives as part of the President’s Management Agenda. For the Budget and Performance Integration initiative, the Administration developed the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART)
to consistently assess the effectiveness of programs. A
section of the PART specifically addresses the assessment of R&D program management and performance
and is aligned with the R&D Investment criteria. In
the last three years, agencies have completed PART
assessments of 84 R&D programs. The results of these
PART assessments may be found on the web at http:/
/www.whitehouse.gov/omb/part/.

Performance assessments help policy makers identify
those programs that are the most effective and worthy
of funding; however, the Administration does not allocate funding levels and initiate management reforms
strictly by formula or based solely on PART results.
For instance, funding may be reduced for ‘‘effective’’
programs that have achieved what they set out to do,
and ‘‘ineffective’’ programs might receive more money
if it is clear it would help them become more effective.
The PART provides information that leads to more informed decisions. For example, as a result of the PART

review process, the Department of Veterans Affairs designed new performance measures that will enable its
senior management to better assess the agency’s overall
research direction and its contributions to the health
of veterans and the general population. In another case,
the PART informed a decision in the 2006 Budget to
eliminate funds for the Department of Energy’s oil and
gas R&D programs, which were determined to often
duplicate private-sector R&D efforts and generate benefits primarily for the private sector.

5. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

R&D agencies will continue to integrate the R&D
Criteria more meaningfully into the budget formulation
process in the coming year. Interagency R&D initiatives
use the R&D Criteria in developing plans and reports,
such as ‘‘A 21st Century Frontier for Discovery: The
Physics of the Universe.’’ Based on lessons learned and

other feedback from experts and stakeholders, the Administration will continue to improve the R&D Investment Criteria and their implementation to achieve
more effective management of R&D programs and better-informed budget-allocation decisions.

President’s Management Agenda Initiative
Research and Development Investment Criteria
FY 2005, Quarter 1 Status: RED, Progress: YELLOW
The initiative’s red status score reflects the limited success many agencies have had in the Government-wide implementation of the initiative. The yellow progress score indicates that the initiative has momentum, as some
agencies have made improvements this year, including the National Science Foundation and the Department of
Energy. More R&D agencies are using the criteria to assess their programs, due to the improved alignment of the
R&D Investment Criteria with the R&D PART for program-level assessments. All of the top 13 R&D agencies are
using the R&D PART to assess their programs this year. Most of the major R&D agencies submitted 2006 Budget
requests that, to varying degrees, observe the principles of the Investment Criteria. To achieve a yellow status
score, half of the R&D programs assessed for each agency using the R&D PART must receive at least a Moderately Effective rating, which is proving to be a challenging requirement. Agencies must also integrate the R&D
Criteria framework into their budget proposals, including using detailed criteria-based assessments to justify specific requests or allocation changes.

Research Earmarks
The Administration strongly supports awarding research funds based on merit review through a competitive process. Such a system generally ensures that the
best research is supported. Research earmarks—in general the assignment of money during the legislative
process for use only by a specific organization or
project—are counter to a merit-based competitive selection process. Earmarks signal to potential investigators
that there is an acceptable alternative to creating quality research proposals for merit-based consideration, including the use of political influence or appeals to parochial interests. Such an alternative is seldom the most
effective use of taxpayer funds.
Unfortunately, the practice of earmarking to colleges,
universities and other entities for specific research
projects has expanded dramatically in recent years. The
American Association for the Advancement of Science
(AAAS) recently estimated that R&D earmarks total
$2.1 billion in 2005, an increase of nine percent over
the Association’s 2004 estimate.
Some argue that earmarks help spread the research
money to states or institutions that would receive less
research funding through other means. The Chronicle
of Higher Education reports that this is not the main
role earmarks play; often only a minor portion of academic earmark funding goes to the states with the
smallest shares of Federal research funds. Meanwhile,
earmarks help some rich institutions become richer.
Some proponents of earmarking assert that earmarks
provide a means of funding unique projects that would

not be recognized by the conventional peer-review process. To address this concern, a number of research
agencies have procedures and programs to reward ‘‘outof-the-box’’ thinking. For example, within the Department of Defense (DOD), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency seeks out high risk, high payoff
scientific proposals, and program managers at the National Science Foundation (NSF) set aside a share of
funding for higher-risk projects in which they see high
potential.
Often Congressional direction has little to do with
an agency’s mission. In addition to earmarked funding
noted above, the Congress also directed DOD to fund
research on a wide range of diseases, including breast
cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes, leukemia, and muscular dystrophy. Funding at DOD for
such research totals about $900 million in 2005 alone,
an increase of about $200 million in just one year.
While research on these diseases is very important,
it is generally not unique to the U.S. military and can
be better carried out and coordinated within civil medical research agencies, without disruption to the military mission. At the same time, intrusion of earmarks
into the peer-review processes of civilian medical research agencies would have a significant detrimental
impact on funding the most important and promising
research.
The Administration will continue to work with the
Congress, academic organizations, colleges and universities to discourage the practice of research earmarks
and to achieve our common objectives.

PRIORITIES FOR FEDERAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The 2006 Budget requests $132 billion for Federal
R&D funding, which targets key research investments
within agencies such as NSF, the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the National Institutes of Health (Table
5–2 provides details by agency).
The ‘‘Federal Science and Technology’’ (FS&T) budget
(shown in Table 5–3) highlights the creation of new
knowledge and technologies more consistently and accurately than the traditional R&D data collection. The
FS&T budget emphasizes research, does not count funding for defense development, testing, and evaluation,
and totals less than half of Federal R&D spending.
The 2006 Budget requests $61 billion for FS&T.
Over the last year, the Office of Science and Technology Policy and OMB have worked with the Federal
agencies and the science community to identify top priorities for Federal R&D. These are in areas critical
to the Nation, such as information technologies, and
in emerging fields, such as nanotechnology, that will
provide new breakthroughs across many fields. Some
priorities, such as hydrogen R&D, address newly recognized needs. The discussion below focuses on five multiagency priority areas and concludes with how the Federal Government stimulates private R&D investment.
Multi-Agency R&D Priorities
The 2006 Budget targets important research investments that must be coordinated across multiple agencies. Three of these multi-agency initiatives—
nanotechnology, information technology R&D, and climate change science—are coordinated by three separate
dedicated offices to ensure unified strategic planning
and implementation. The Administration is strengthening interagency coordination for other priority
areas—such as combating bioterrorism. The Administration will continue to analyze other areas of critical
need that could benefit in the future from improved
focus and coordination among agencies.
Combating Terrorism R&D: Since September 2001,
the Administration increased its focus on R&D that
aids in securing the homeland. Research programs
across the Federal Government are being coordinated
to develop systems to help prevent future terrorist attacks, minimize our Nation’s vulnerability to terrorist
acts, and respond and recover if an attack should occur.
The President issued 12 Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPD) that call for, among other
things, increased interagency coordination of R&D to
defend against biological threats to our people, economy, agriculture, food and water supplies. For example,
one HSPD, Defense of United States Agriculture and
Food, establishes a national policy to provide protection
against an attack on the agriculture and food systems.
In 2004, multi-agency efforts made significant
progress. For example, the Department of Homeland

Security established both the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center to study biological
agents and the National Bioforensic Analysis Center
to provide a world class forensics center. These centers
join other DOD, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and
National Institutes of Health facilities at Fort Detrick
to create a National Interagency Biodefense Campus
that will become a focal point for countermeasures research. Together, these agencies will establish research
priorities to reduce the threat of biological terrorism.
Networking and Information Technology R&D:
The budget provides $2 billion for the multi-agency Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) program, which focuses and coordinates agency research efforts in advanced computing
systems, networks, software, and information-management technologies. The agencies involved in this program work together enabling more rapid advancement
than they could achieve working on their own. These
advances have an impact on virtually every sector of
the economy.
In 2004, agencies with responsibilities for high-end
computing—ultra-powerful supercomputers, components
and software—made significant progress in implementing the recommendations of the interagency HighEnd Computing Revitalization Task Force. For example, new supercomputing activities at both NASA and
the Department of Energy (DOE) were begun and will
be managed in accord with the Federal Plan for HighEnd Computing.
To enable a better understanding of the potential
scientific impact of high-end capability computing, the
NITRD National Coordination Office will commission
a National Academy of Sciences study that identifies
and categorizes important scientific questions and technological problems for which an extraordinary advancement in our understanding is difficult or impossible
without leading-edge scientific simulation capabilities.
Nanotechnology R&D: The budget provides $1 billion for the multi-agency National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The NNI focuses on R&D that creates
materials, devices, and systems that exploit the fundamentally distinct properties of matter as it is manipulated at the atomic and molecular levels. The results
of NNI-supported R&D could lead to breakthroughs in
disease detection and treatment, manufacturing at the
nanoscale level, environmental monitoring and protection, energy production and storage, and creating electronic devices that have even greater capabilities than
those available today.
Guided by the NNI, participating agencies will continue to focus on fundamental and applied research
through investigator-led activities, multidisciplinary
centers of excellence, education and training of
nanotechnology workers, and infrastructure development, including user facilities and networks that are
broadly available to researchers from across the sci-

65

5. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

entific research community. For example, the 2006
Budget provides funding for DOE to complete construction on four new major nanoscale science research centers located around the country. In addition, agencies
continue to maintain a focus on the responsible development of nanotechnology, with attention to the human
and environmental health impacts, as well as ethical,
legal, and other societal issues.
Climate Change R&D: The 2006 Budget for the
Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) continues to
support the goals outlined in the CCSP Strategic Plan,
which was released in July 2003. The Budget reflects
the coordinated planning efforts of the 13 departments
and agencies that participate in CCSP. Beginning in
FY 2006, CCSP will formally track the expected actions,
deliverables, and milestones for each of its programs
in order to assess overall performance. Additional detail
on individual agency activities will be provided in the
Administration’s FY 2006 edition of Our Changing
Planet.
The Climate Change Technology Program (CCTP)
continues to prioritize the portfolio of Federally funded
climate change technology R&D consistent with the
President’s National Climate Change Technology Initiative (NCCTI). In 2005, the CCTP will publish a draft
Strategic Plan and solicit comments from the scientific
community and the public. The CCTP will also identify
within its portfolio a subset of NCCTI priority activities, defined as discrete R&D activities that address
technological challenges, which, if solved, could advance
technologies with the potential to dramatically reduce,
avoid, or sequester greenhouse gas emissions.
Hydrogen R&D: In 2004, the Hydrogen R&D Interagency Task Force, established by the Office of Science
and Technology Policy, initiated a plan to coordinate
agency efforts in key research areas, such as novel materials for fuel cells and hydrogen storage, inexpensive
Table 5–1.

and durable catalysts, and hydrogen production from
alternative sources. In 2005, the task force will implement this plan and expand public outreach and collaboration with the private sector, state agencies, and other
stakeholders. The U.S., through the Department of Energy, will continue to lead the International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy, established in 2003
to coordinate hydrogen research among 15 nations representing two thirds of global energy consumption.
DOE will continue the President’s Hydrogen Fuel Initiative to accelerate the worldwide availability and affordability of hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles. The
initiative, which includes an 11-percent increase in targeted basic research investments in 2006, focuses on
research to advance hydrogen production, storage, and
infrastructure. The Initiative complements the Department’s FreedomCAR Partnership with the auto industry, which is aimed at developing viable hydrogen fuel
cell vehicle technology.
Stimulating Private Investment
Along with direct spending on R&D, the Federal Government has sought to stimulate private R&D investment through incentives in the Internal Revenue Code.
Current law provides a 20-percent tax credit for private
research and experimentation expenditures above a certain base amount. The credit, which expired in June
2004, was extended again for another 18 months,
through 2005, in the Working Families Tax Relief Act
of 2004. The budget proposes to make the Research
and Experimentation (R&E) tax credit permanent. The
proposed extension will cost nearly $30 billion over the
period from 2006 to 2010. In addition, a permanent
tax provision lets companies deduct, up front, the costs
of certain kinds of research and experimentation, rather
than capitalize these costs. Also, equipment used for
research benefits from relatively rapid tax depreciation
allowance. Table 5–1 shows a forecast of the costs of
the tax credit.

FEDERAL R&D DATA

Federal R&D Funding
R&D is the collection of efforts directed towards gaining greater knowledge or understanding and applying
knowledge toward the production of useful materials,
devices, and methods. R&D investments can be characterized as basic research, applied research, development, R&D equipment, or R&D facilities, and OMB
has used those or similar categories in its collection
of R&D data since 1949.
Basic research is defined as systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of
the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind.
Applied research is systematic study to gain knowledge or understanding necessary to determine the
means by which a recognized and specific need may
be met.
Development is systematic application of knowledge
toward the production of useful materials, devices, and
systems or methods, including design, development, and
Table 5–2.

improvement of prototypes and new processes to meet
specific requirements.
Research and development equipment includes acquisition or design and production of movable equipment, such as spectrometers, microscopes, detectors,
and other instruments.
Research and development facilities include the acquisition, design, and construction of, or major repairs
or alterations to, all physical facilities for use in R&D
activities. Facilities include land, buildings, and fixed
capital equipment, regardless of whether the facilities
are to be used by the Government or by a private
organization, and regardless of where title to the property may rest. This category includes such fixed facilities as reactors, wind tunnels, and particle accelerators.
There are over twenty Federal agencies that fund
R&D in the U.S. The nature of the R&D that these
agencies fund depends on the mission of each agency
and on the role of R&D in accomplishing it. Table 5–2
shows agency-by-agency spending on basic and applied
research, development, and R&D equipment and facilities.

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

V.

ALLOCATION OF RESEARCH FUNDING

Federal funds appropriated to Executive Branch
agencies may be used in different ways, ranging from
grants awarded to university researchers to supporting
research at Federal laboratories. The Administration
strongly supports the competitive, merit review process
for funding research in most cases. However, there are
appropriate roles for other modes of allocating research
funding in some circumstances, such as funding research at specific facilities that have unique capabilities. In such cases, however, the proposed allocation
should be reviewed by scientific or technological experts, as well as mangement and program experts.
In order to better understand and characterize the
methods agencies use to allocate their research funding,
agencies reported how research funds are allocated by
the following five categories:
Research performed at congressional direction
consists of intramural and extramural research programs where funded activities are awarded to a single
performer or collection of performers with limited or
no competitive selection or with competitive selection
but outside of the agency’s primary mission, based on
direction from the Congress in law, in report language,
or by other direction.
Inherently unique research is intramural and extramural research programs where funded activities are
awarded to a single performer or team of performers
without competitive selection. The award may be based
on the provision of unique capabilities, concern for timeliness, or prior record of performance (e.g., facility operations support for a unique facility, such as an electronpositron linear collider; research grants for rapid-response studies to address an emergency).
Merit-reviewed research with limited competitive
selection is intramural and extramural research pro-

grams where funded activities are competitively awarded from a pool of qualified applicants that are limited
to organizations that were created to largely serve Federal missions and continue to receive most of their annual research revenue from Federal sources. The limited competition may be for reasons of stewardship,
agency mission constraints, or retention of unique technical capabilities (e.g., funding set aside for researchers
at laboratories or centers of DOD, NASA, EPA, NOAA,
and NIH; Federally Funded Research and Development
Centers; formula funds for USDA).
Merit-reviewed research with competitive selection and internal (program) evaluation is intramural and extramural research programs where funded
activities are competitively awarded following review
for scientific or technical merit. The review is conducted
by the program manager or other qualified individuals
from within the agency program, without additional
independent evaluation (e.g., merit-reviewed research
at DOD).
Merit-reviewed research with competitive selection and external (peer) evaluation is intramural
and extramural research programs where funded activities are competitively awarded following review by a
set of external scientific or technical reviewers (often
called peers) for merit. The review is conducted by appropriately qualified scientists, engineers, or other technically-qualified individuals who are apart from the
people or groups making the award decisions, and
serves to inform the program manager or other qualified individual who makes the award (e.g., NSF’s single-investigator research; NASA’s research and analysis
funds).
Table 5–5 lists how Federal R&D agencies report allocating research funding among these categories.

FEDERAL INVESTMENT

Investment spending is spending that yields longterm benefits. Its purpose may be to improve the efficiency of internal Federal agency operations or to increase the Nation’s overall stock of capital for economic
growth. The spending can be direct Federal spending
or grants to State and local governments. It can be
for physical capital, which yields a stream of services
over a period of years, or for research and development
or education and training, which are intangible but also
increase income in the future or provide other longterm benefits.
Most presentations in the Federal budget combine
investment spending with spending for current use.
PART I.

This chapter focuses solely on Federal and federally
financed investment.
In this chapter, investment is discussed in the following sections:
• a description of the size and composition of Federal investment spending;
• a discussion of the performance of selected Federal
investment programs; and
• a presentation of trends in the stock of federally
financed physical capital, research and development, and education.

DESCRIPTION OF FEDERAL INVESTMENT

For more than fifty years, the Federal budget has
included a chapter on Federal investment—defined as
those outlays that yield long-term benefits—separately
from outlays for current use. In recent years the discussion of the composition of investment has displayed
estimates of budget authority as well as outlays.
The classification of spending between investment
and current outlays is a matter of judgment. The budget has historically employed a relatively broad classification, encompassing physical investment, research,
development, education, and training. The budget further classifies investments into those that are grants
to State and local governments, such as grants for highways or education, and all other investments, called
‘‘direct Federal programs,’’ in this analysis. This ‘‘direct
Federal’’ category consists primarily of spending for assets owned by the Federal Government, such as defense
weapons systems and general purpose office buildings,
but also includes grants to private organizations and
individuals for investment, such as capital grants to
Amtrak or higher education loans directly to individuals.
Presentations for particular purposes could adopt different definitions of investment:
• To suit the purposes of a traditional balance sheet,
investment might include only those physical assets owned by the Federal Government, excluding
capital financed through grants and intangible assets such as research and education.
• Focusing on the role of investment in improving
national productivity and enhancing economic
growth would exclude items such as national defense assets, the direct benefits of which enhance
national security rather than economic growth.
• Concern with the efficiency of Federal operations
would confine the coverage to investments that
reduce costs or improve the effectiveness of inter-

nal Federal agency operations, such as computer
systems.
• A ‘‘social investment’’ perspective might broaden
the coverage of investment beyond what is included in this chapter to include programs such
as childhood immunization, maternal health, certain nutrition programs, and substance abuse
treatment, which are designed in part to prevent
more costly health problems in future years.
The relatively broad definition of investment used
in this section provides consistency over time—historical figures on investment outlays back to 1940 can
be found in the separate Historical Tables volume.
Table 6–2 at the end of this section allows
disaggregation of the data to focus on those investment
outlays that best suit a particular purpose.
In addition to this basic issue of definition, there
are two technical problems in the classification of investment data involving the treatment of grants to
State and local governments and the classification of
spending that could be shown in more than one category.
First, for some grants to State and local governments
it is the recipient jurisdiction, not the Federal Government, that ultimately determines whether the money
is used to finance investment or current purposes. This
analysis classifies all of the outlays in the category
where the recipient jurisdictions are expected to spend
most of the money. Hence, the community development
block grants are classified as physical investment, although some may be spent for current purposes. General purpose fiscal assistance is classified as current
spending, although some may be spent by recipient jurisdictions on physical investment.
Second, some spending could be classified in more
than one category of investment. For example, outlays
for construction of research facilities finance the acqui-

73

74

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

sition of physical assets, but they also contribute to
research and development. To avoid double counting,
the outlays are classified in the category that is most
commonly recognized as investment. Consequently, outlays for the conduct of research and development do
not include outlays for research facilities, because these
outlays are included in the category for physical investment. Similarly, spending for physical investment and
research and development related to education and
training is included in the categories of physical assets
and the conduct of research and development.
When direct loans and loan guarantees are used to
fund investment, the subsidy value is included as investment. The subsidies are classified according to their
program purpose, such as construction or education and
training. For more information about the treatment of
Federal credit programs, refer to Chapter 7, ‘‘Credit
and Insurance’’, in this volume.
This section presents spending for gross investment,
without adjusting for depreciation.
Composition of Federal Investment Outlays
Major Federal Investment
The composition of major Federal investment outlays
is summarized in Table 6–1. They include major public
physical investment, the conduct of research and development, and the conduct of education and training. Defense and nondefense investment outlays were $368.5
billion in 2004. They are estimated to increase to $396.5
billion in 2005 and are projected to decline slightly
to $395.1 billion in 2006. Major Federal investment
outlays will comprise an estimated 15 percent of total
Federal outlays in 2006 and 3.1 percent of the Nation’s
gross domestic product (GDP). Greater detail on Federal investment is available in Table 6–2 at the end
of this section. That table includes both budget authority and outlays.
Physical investment. Outlays for major public physical
capital investment (hereafter referred to as physical investment outlays) are estimated to be $183.5 billion
in 2006. Physical investment outlays are for construction and rehabilitation, the purchase of major equipment, and the purchase or sale of land and structures.
More than three-fifths of these outlays are for direct
physical investment by the Federal Government, with
the remainder being grants to State and local governments for physical investment.
Direct physical investment outlays by the Federal
Government are primarily for national defense. Defense
outlays for physical investment are estimated to be
$88.9 billion 2006. Almost all of these outlays, or an
estimated $81.3 billion, are for the procurement of
weapons and other defense equipment, and the remainder is primarily for construction on military bases, family housing for military personnel, and Department of
Energy defense facilities.
Outlays for direct physical investment for nondefense
purposes are estimated to be $30.2 billion in 2006.
These outlays include $16.2 billion for construction and

rehabilitation. This amount includes funds for water,
power, and natural resources projects of the Corps of
Engineers, the Bureau of Reclamation within the Department of the Interior, and the Tennessee Valley Authority; construction and rehabilitation of veterans hospitals and Indian Health Service hospitals and clinics;
facilities for space and science programs; Postal Service
facilities; and construction for embassy security. Outlays for the acquisition of major equipment are estimated to be $13.7 billion in 2006. The largest amounts
are for the air traffic control system.
Grants to State and local governments for physical
investment are estimated to be $64.4 billion in 2006.
More than two-thirds of these outlays, or $45.9 billion,
are to assist States and localities with transportation
infrastructure, primarily highways. Other major grants
for physical investment fund sewage treatment plants,
community and regional development, and public housing.
Conduct of research and development. Outlays for the
conduct of research and development are estimated to
be $124.9 billion in 2006. These outlays are devoted
to increasing basic scientific knowledge and promoting
research and development. They increase the Nation’s
security, improve the productivity of capital and labor
for both public and private purposes, and enhance the
quality of life. More than half of these outlays, an estimated $73.5 billion, are for national defense. Physical
investment for research and development facilities and
equipment is included in the physical investment category.
Nondefense outlays for the conduct of research and
development are estimated to be $51.4 billion in 2006.
These are largely for the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration, the National Science Foundation,
the National Institutes of Health, and research for nuclear and non-nuclear energy programs.
A more complete and detailed discussion of research
and development funding appears in Chapter 5, ‘‘Research and Development’’ in this volume.
Conduct of education and training. Outlays for the
conduct of education and training are estimated to be
$86.7 billion in 2006. These outlays add to the stock
of human capital by developing a more skilled and productive labor force. Grants to State and local governments for this category are estimated to be $52.3 billion
in 2006, three-fifths of the total. They include education
programs for the disadvantaged and individuals with
disabilities, other education programs, training programs in the Department of Labor, and Head Start.
Direct Federal education and training outlays are estimated to be $34.3 billion in 2006. Programs in this
category are primarily aid for higher education through
student financial assistance, loan subsidies, the veterans GI bill, and health training programs.
This category does not include outlays for education
and training of Federal civilian and military employees.
Outlays for education and training that are for physical
investment and for research and development are in

Miscellaneous Physical Investment Outlays
In addition to the categories of major Federal investment, several miscellaneous categories of investment
outlays are shown at the bottom of Table 6–1. These
items, all for physical investment, are generally unrelated to improving Government operations or enhancing
economic activity.
Outlays for commodity inventories are primarily for
the purchase or sale of agricultural products pursuant
to farm price support programs. Sales are estimated
to exceed purchases by $1.0 billion in 2006.

Outlays for other miscellaneous physical investment
are estimated to be $3.0 billion in 2006. This category
includes primarily conservation programs. These are
entirely direct Federal outlays.
Detailed Table on Investment Spending
The following table provides data on budget authority
as well as outlays for major Federal investment divided
according to grants to State and local governments and
direct Federal spending. Miscellaneous investment is
not included because it is generally unrelated to improving Government operations or enhancing economic
activity.

PART II:

PERFORMANCE OF FEDERAL INVESTMENT

Introduction. In recent years there has been
increased emphasis on improving the performance of
Government programs. This emphasis began with the
Performance and Results Act of 1993, which requires
agencies to prepare strategic plans and annual performance plans, and then report on their actual performance
annually.
This Administration set out to ensure that agencies
worked to improve their performance, not just report
on it. Beginning in the 2004 Budget, the Administration
began to assess every Federal program by a method
known as the Program Assessment Rating Tool, or
PART. The Administration set a target of assessing
all Federal programs over five years. With this budget,
the third year of using the PART, the Administration
has assessed over 600 programs, about three-fifths of
the Federal Budget.
The PART system assesses each program in four components (purpose, planning, management, and results/
accountability) and gives a score for each of the components. The scores for each component are then weighted—results/accountability carries the greatest weight—
and the program is given an overall score. A program
is rated effective if it receives an overall score of 85
percent or more, moderately effective if the score is

70 to 84 percent, adequate if the score is 50 to 69
percent, and inadequate if the score is 49 percent or
lower. The program receives a rating ‘‘Results Not Demonstrated’’ if it does not have a good long-term and
annual performance measure or does not have data to
report on its measures. Chapter 2 of this volume discusses the PART concepts in more detail.
This section summarizes the results of the PART for
direct investment programs, defined to include capital
assets, research and development, and education and
training. Because an entire program is assessed, not
just the investment portion of the program, the assessments for some programs may cover more than just
the investment spending. PART assessments of programs that are grants to State and local governments
are not summarized in this chapter but are summarized
in Chapter 8, ‘‘Aid to State and Local Governments’’,
in this volume.
This section summarizes 166 programs:
• Programs for capital assets are those identified
in the PART system as ‘‘capital assets and service
acquisition’’ (60 programs);
• Programs for research and development are essentially those identified in the PART system as ‘‘research and development’’ (84 programs); and

6.

FEDERAL INVESTMENT

• Programs for education and training (22 programs) are primarily programs in the Department
of Education that are not grants to State and local
governments (e.g., Federal Pell grants to individuals). This category also includes programs in
other agencies, such as the Montgomery GI Bill
in the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Health
Professions program in the Department of Health
and Human Services, and the Job Corps program
in the Department of Labor.
Information on these and other programs assessed
by PART is on the CD ROM that accompanies this
volume.

Table 6–3.

Summary of ratings. Table 6–3 shows that the average weighted score for the 166 investment programs
that have been rated by PART was 67 percent, which
is a rating of ‘‘adequate’’. These programs had total
spending of $184.6 billion in 2004. Of these programs:
• 37 were rated effective ($35.8 billion);
• 48 were rated moderately effective ($57.7 billion);
• 28 were rated adequate ($50.6 billion);
• 7 were rated ineffective ($7.4 billion); and
• 46 were rated ‘‘results not demonstrated’’ ($33.2
billion);

2 The

Assessments of individual programs. The ratings of
the ten physical capital and education and training investment programs with the largest funding are summarized here. Information on research and development
is in Chapter 5, ‘‘Research and Development’’ in this
volume.

Capital Assets
Department of Defense (DOD). Air Combat Program
($13.9 billion in 2004). Rating: Moderately Effective.
This program consists of a number of individual aircraft
and helicopter research, development and procurement
programs that, taken together, comprise DOD’s invest-

80
ment in air combat capabilities. The PART analysis
showed that the program purpose is clear owing to
the unique military requirement for these systems.
Department of Defense. Shipbuilding ($12.0 billion in
2004). Rating: Adequate. This program buys new ships
and overhauls older ships for the Navy. The assessment
shows that the program has a clear purpose, and the
Navy has specific cost, schedule, and performance goals
for each shipbuilding program. The program has experienced cost increases and schedule slips on some ship
construction programs.
Department of Defense. Missile Defense ($8.6 billion
in 2004). Rating: Moderately Effective. This program
consists of various systems and capabilities developed
by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) and military
services. This program acquires and operates active defenses against short, medium, and long-range missiles
in a global, multi-layered defensive system.
The assessment found that: a) the Department of Defense has aggressively worked to fund operations and
support costs fully, and has been successful in coordinating service and MDA budget responsibilities; b) the
Department continues to fund only two years deployment costs per each ‘‘block’’ of missile defense deployments, even if significant portions of those deployments
require four to five years of funding to fully implement.
This policy continues to put at risk the completion of
approved missile defense deployments; and c) MDA did
not meet its testing goals in 2004 for the Ground Based
Mid-Course Defense system, the main element of its
first operational deployment.
Tennessee Valley Authority. TVA Power ($7.7 billion
in 2004). Rating: Moderately Effective. TVA is the fifth
largest electric utility in the country, generating power
at 48 coal-fired, hydropower, nuclear, and other power
plants that it operates to meet the electricity needs
of 8.3 million people (3 percent of the U. S. market).
The PART assessment gave TVA mixed reviews. TVA
does an excellent job generating power at its existing
power plants. A decade ago TVA’s nuclear power plants
posed serious technical and safety problems but it has
overcome these problems and today its nuclear power
plants set industry standards.
However, TVA has a high level of debt compared
to many of its competitors in the electricity industry.
It also lacks a strategic plan, which makes it hard
to assess TVA’s plans to spend funds on additional
power plants and transmission lines.
Department of Energy. Environmental Management
($7.1 billion in 2004). Rating: Adequate. This program
protects human health and the environment by cleaning
up waste and contamination resulting from more than
50 years of nuclear weapons production and energy research at 114 Department of Energy sites in the United
States and its territories. Program managers will continue to work with Federal and State regulators to
resolve outstanding issues with revised cleanup plans.
The program has established annual cost and schedule
performance measures.

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

General Services Administration. GSA’s Regional IT
Solutions Program ($5.4 billion in 2004). Rating: Results Not Demonstrated. This program provides expert
technical, acquisition, and information technology products and services to Federal clients. This assessment
found that the program is useful to Federal agencies
that do not have in-house expertise to acquire IT products or services. The assessment also found that the
program does not have long-term outcome goals that
relate to other Government agencies or the private sector.
Department of Defense. Airlift Program ($5.1 billion
in 2004). Rating: Moderately Effective. This program
consists of a number of individual Air Force tactical
and strategic airlift aircraft research, development and
procurement programs that, taken together, comprise
DOD’s investment in airlift capabilities. The analysis
showed that this is a coherent program with a clear
and basic long-term goal, namely to be able to move
military forces and their equipment from the U.S. to
anywhere in the world whenever required. DOD must
aggressively examine possible trade-offs within the program that could lower the cost of meeting the airlift
requirement without sacrificing military readiness or
combat capabilities.
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Project-Based Rental Assistance ($4.8 billion in 2004).
Rating: Ineffective. This program provides funding to
landlords who rent a certain number of affordable
apartments to low-income families or individuals. Assistance is tied directly to the properties; tenants can
generally not move without losing their assistance. The
program receives low performance scores in part because there is confusion over program objectives, the
program lacks strong financial accountability, and it
produces poor results relative to alternative forms of
housing assistance.
Education
Department of Education. Federal Pell Grants ($12.0
billion in 2004). Rating: Adequate. This program provides grant aid to nearly five million needy students
to help them pay for an undergraduate education. The
assessment found that the program helps ensure that
low-income students can afford a college education.
However, the Department of Education has only been
minimally successful in achieving its long-term and annual performance goals for its main student aid programs. In addition, Pell grants, like other student aid,
are prone to abuse, where students who under-report
family income receive more aid than they should. The
Department estimates that net overawards in the Pell
program total more than $350 million annually.
Department of Education. Federal Family Education
Loan Program ($9.6 billion in 2004). Rating: Adequate.
Under the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program, the Department encourages private lenders to
make loans to undergraduate and graduate students
by guaranteeing such loans in the case of default and
providing lenders with financial subsidies that ensure

6.

a minimum rate of return on all loans made. Overall,
the assessment concluded that both this program and
the William D. Ford Direct Student Loan program fulfill their purpose of ensuring that low- and middleincome students can afford the costs of postsecondary
PART III:

education. The program also has meaningful performance measures and outcome data on these measures.
However, the Department has been minimally successful in achieving its long-term and annual performance
goals for its main student aid programs.

FEDERALLY FINANCED CAPITAL STOCKS

Federal investment spending creates a ‘‘stock’’ of capital that is available in the future for productive use.
Each year, Federal investment outlays add to this stock
of capital. At the same time, however, wear and tear
and obsolescence reduce it. This section presents very
rough measures over time of three different kinds of
capital stocks financed by the Federal Government:
public physical capital, research and development
(R&D), and education.
Federal spending for physical assets adds to the Nation’s capital stock of tangible assets, such as roads,
buildings, and aircraft carriers. These assets deliver
a flow of services over their lifetime. The capital depreciates as the asset ages, wears out, is accidentally damaged, or becomes obsolete.
Federal spending for the conduct of research and development adds to an ‘‘intangible’’ asset, the Nation’s
stock of knowledge. Spending for education adds to the
stock of human capital by providing skills that help
make people more productive. Although financed by the
Federal Government, the research and development or
education can be carried out by Federal or State government laboratories, universities and other nonprofit
organizations, local governments, or private industry.
Research and development covers a wide range of activities, from the investigation of subatomic particles
to the exploration of outer space; it can be ‘‘basic’’ research without particular applications in mind, or it
can have a highly specific practical use. Similarly, education includes a wide variety of programs, assisting
people of all ages beginning with pre-school education
and extending through graduate studies and adult education. Like physical assets, the capital stocks of R&D
and education provide services over a number of years
and depreciate as they become outdated.
For this analysis, physical and R&D capital stocks
are estimated using the perpetual inventory method.

Each year’s Federal outlays are treated as gross investment, adding to the capital stock; depreciation reduces
the capital stock. Gross investment less depreciation
is net investment. The estimates of the capital stock
are equal to the sum of net investment in the current
and prior years. A limitation of the perpetual inventory
method is that the original investment spending may
not accurately measure the current value of the asset
created, even after adjusting for inflation, because the
value of existing capital changes over time due to
changing market conditions. However, alternative
methods for measuring asset value, such as direct surveys of current market worth or indirect estimation
based on an expected rate of return, are especially difficult to apply to assets that do not have a private
market, such as highways or weapons systems.
In contrast to physical and R&D stocks, the estimate
of the education stock is based on the replacement cost
method. Data on the total years of education of the
U.S. population are combined with data on the current
cost of education and the Federal share of education
spending to yield the cost of replacing the Federal share
of the Nation’s stock of education.
It should be stressed that these estimates are rough
approximations, and provide a basis only for making
broad generalizations. Errors may arise from uncertainty about the useful lives and depreciation rates of
different types of assets, incomplete data for historical
outlays, and imprecision in the deflators used to express costs in constant dollars. The methods used to
estimate capital stocks are discussed further in the
technical note at the end of Chapter 13, ‘‘Stewardship,’’
in this volume. Additional detail about these methods
appeared in a methodological note in Chapter 7, ‘‘Federal Investment Spending and Capital Budgeting,’’ in
the Analytical Perspectives volume of the 2004 Budget.

The Stock of Physical Capital
This section presents data on stocks of physical capital assets and estimates of the depreciation of these
assets.
Trends. Table 6–4 shows the value of the net federally financed physical capital stock since 1960, in constant fiscal year 2000 dollars. The total stock grew at
a 2.2 percent average annual rate from 1960 to 2004,
with periods of faster growth during the late 1960s

and the 1980s. The stock amounted to $2,197 billion
in 2004 and is estimated to increase to $2,315 billion
by 2006. In 2004, the national defense capital stock
accounted for $661 billion, or 30 percent of the total,
and nondefense stocks for $1,536 billion, or 70 percent
of the total.

Real stocks of defense and nondefense capital show
very different trends. Nondefense stocks have grown
consistently since 1970, increasing from $470 billion
in 1970 to $1,536 billion in 2004. With the investments
proposed in the budget, nondefense stocks are estimated to grow to $1,625 billion in 2006. During the
1970s, the nondefense capital stock grew at an average
annual rate of 5.0 percent. In the 1980s, however, the
growth rate slowed to 2.9 percent annually, with growth
continuing at about that rate since then.
Real national defense stocks began in 1970 at a relatively high level, and declined steadily throughout the
decade as depreciation from investment in the Vietnam
era exceeded new investment in military construction
and weapons procurement. Starting in the early 1980s,
a large defense buildup began to increase the stock
of defense capital. By 1987, the defense stock exceeded
its earlier Vietnam-era peak. In the early 1990s, however, depreciation on the increased stocks and a slower
pace of defense physical capital investment began to
reduce the stock from its previous levels. The increased
defense investment in the last few years has reversed
this decline, increasing the stock from an estimated
$661 billion in 2004 to $690 billion in 2006.
Another trend in the Federal physical capital stocks
is the shift from direct Federal assets to grant-financed
assets. In 1960, 39 percent of federally financed nondefense capital was owned by the Federal Government,
and 61 percent was owned by State and local governments but financed by Federal grants. Expansion in
Federal grants for highways and other State and local
capital, coupled with slower growth in direct Federal
investment for water resources, for example, shifted the
composition of the stock substantially. In 2004, 25 percent of the nondefense stock was owned by the Federal

Government and 75 percent by State and local governments.
The growth in the stock of physical capital financed
by grants has come in several areas. The growth in
the stock for transportation is largely grants for highways, including the Interstate Highway System. The
growth in community and regional development stocks
occurred largely following the enactment of the community development block grant in the early 1970s. The
value of this capital stock has grown only slowly in
the past few years. The growth in the natural resources
area occurred primarily because of construction grants
for sewage treatment facilities. The value of this federally financed stock has increased about 35 percent since
the mid-1980s.
The Stock of Research and Development Capital
This section presents data on the stock of research
and development capital, taking into account adjustments for its depreciation.
Trends. As shown in Table 6–5, the R&D capital
stock financed by Federal outlays is estimated to be
$1,099 billion in 2004 in constant 2000 dollars. Roughly
half is the stock of basic research knowledge; the remainder is the stock of applied research and development.
The nondefense stock accounted for about three-fifths
of the total federally financed R&D stock in 2004. Although investment in defense R&D has exceeded that
of nondefense R&D in nearly every year since 1981,
the nondefense R&D stock is actually the larger of the
two, because of the different emphasis on basic research
and applied research and development. Defense R&D
spending is heavily concentrated in applied research
and development, which depreciates much more quickly

6.

83

FEDERAL INVESTMENT

than basic research. The stock of applied research and
development is assumed to depreciate at a ten percent
geometric rate, while basic research is assumed not
to depreciate at all.
The defense R&D stock rose slowly during the 1970s,
as gross outlays for R&D trended down in constant
dollars and the stock created in the 1960s depreciated.
Increased defense R&D spending from 1980 through
1990 led to a more rapid growth of the R&D stock.
Subsequently, real defense R&D outlays tapered off,
depreciation grew, and, as a result, the real net defense
R&D stock stabilized at around $420 billion. Renewed
spending for defense R&D in recent years has begun
Table 6–5.

to increase the stock, and it is projected to increase
to $531 billion in 2006.
The growth of the nondefense R&D stock slowed from
the 1970s to the 1980s, from an annual rate of 3.8
percent in the 1970s to a rate of 2.1 percent in the
1980s. Gross investment in real terms fell during much
of the 1980s, and about three-fourths of new outlays
went to replacing depreciated R&D. Since 1988, however, nondefense R&D outlays have been on an upward
trend while depreciation has edged down. As a result,
the net nondefense R&D capital stock has grown more
rapidly.

The Stock of Education Capital
This section presents estimates of the stock of education capital financed by the Federal Government.
As shown in Table 6–6, the federally financed education stock is estimated at $1,309 billion in 2004 in
constant 2000 dollars. The vast majority of the Nation’s
education stock is financed by State and local governments, and by students and their families themselves.
This federally financed portion of the stock represents

about 3 percent of the Nation’s total education stock. 1
Nearly three-quarters is for elementary and secondary
education, while the remaining one quarter is for higher
education.
The federally financed education stock has grown
steadily in the last few decades, with an average annual growth rate of 5.3 percent from 1970 to 2004.
The expansion of the education stock is projected to
continue under this budget, with the stock rising to
$1,428 billion in 2006.

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE
Federal credit programs offer direct loans and loan
guarantees for a wide range of activities, primarily
housing, education, business and community development, and exports. At the end of 2004, there were $219
billion in Federal direct loans outstanding and $1,231
billion in loan guarantees. Through its insurance programs, the Federal Government insures bank, thrift,
and credit union deposits, guarantees private definedbenefit pensions, and insures against other risks such
as natural disasters, all up to certain limits.
The Federal Government also enhances credit availability for targeted sectors indirectly through Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs)—privately owned
companies and cooperatives that operate under Federal
charters. GSEs increase liquidity by guaranteeing and
securitizing loans, as well as by providing direct loans.
In return for serving social purposes, GSEs enjoy many
privileges which differ across GSEs. In general, GSEs
can borrow from Treasury in amounts ranging up to
$4 billion at Treasury’s discretion, GSEs’ corporate
earnings are exempt from State and local income taxation, GSE securities are exempt from SEC registration,
and banks and thrifts are allowed to hold GSE securities in unlimited amounts and use them to collateralize
public deposits. These privileges leave many people
with the impression that GSE securities are risk-free.
GSEs, however, are not part of the Federal Government, and their securities are not federally guaranteed.
By law, GSE securities carry a disclaimer of any U.S.
obligation.
I.

This chapter discusses the roles and risks of these
diverse programs in the context of evolving financial
markets and assesses their effectiveness and efficiency.
• The first section analyzes the roles of Federal
credit and insurance programs. Federal programs
play useful roles when market imperfections prevent the private market from efficiently providing
credit and insurance. Financial evolution has partly corrected many imperfections and generally
weakened the justification for Federal intervention. The roles of Federal programs, however, may
still be critical in some areas.
• The second section examines how credit and insurance programs were gauged by the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) and discusses special features of credit programs that may need
to be considered in interpreting and refining this
tool.
• The third section discusses Federal credit programs and GSEs in four sectors: housing, education, business and community development, and
exports. The discussions focus on program objectives, recent developments, performance, and future plans for each program.
• The final section reviews Federal deposit insurance, pension guarantees, disaster insurance, and
insurance against terrorism and other security-related risks in a context similar to that for credit
programs.

FEDERAL PROGRAMS IN CHANGING FINANCIAL MARKETS

The Federal Role
In most cases, private lending and insurance companies efficiently meet societal demands by allocating resources to the most productive uses. Market imperfections, however, can cause inadequate provision of credit
or insurance in some sectors. Federal credit and insurance programs improve economic efficiency if they effectively fill the gaps created by market imperfections.
On the other hand, Federal credit and insurance programs that have little to do with correcting market
imperfections may be ineffective, or can even be
counter-productive; they may simply do what the private sector would have done in their absence, or interfere with what the private sector would have done better. Federal credit and insurance programs also help
disadvantaged groups. This role alone, however, may
not be enough to justify credit and insurance programs.
For the purpose of helping disadvantaged groups, direct
subsidies are generally more effective and less
distortionary.

Market imperfections that can justify Federal intervention include insufficient information, limited ability
to secure resources, imperfect competition, and
externalities.
Insufficient Information. Financial intermediaries
promote economic growth by allocating credit to the
most productive uses. This critical function, however,
may not be performed effectively when there is little
objective information about borrowers. Some groups of
borrowers, such as start-up businesses, start-up farmers, and students, have limited incomes and credit histories. Many creditworthy borrowers belonging to these
groups may fail to obtain credit or be forced to pay
excessively high interest. Government intervention,
such as loan guarantees, can reduce this inefficiency
by enabling these borrowers to obtain credit more easily
and cheaply and also by providing opportunities for
lenders to learn more about those borrowers.
Limited Ability to Secure Resources. The ability
of private entities to absorb losses is more limited than

85

86
that of the Federal Government, which has general taxing authority. For some events potentially involving a
very large loss concentrated in a short time period,
therefore, Government insurance commanding more resources can be more credible and effective. Such events
include massive bank failures and some natural and
man-made disasters that can threaten the solvency of
private insurers. Private entities also face some liquidity constraints. Small lenders operating in a local market, for example, may have limited access to capital
and occasionally be forced to pass up good lending opportunities.
Imperfect competition. Competition is imperfect in
some markets because of barriers to entry, economies
of scale, and foreign government intervention. If the
lack of competition forces some borrowers to pay excessively high interest on loans, Government credit programs aiming to increase the availability of credit and
lower the borrowing cost in those markets may improve
economic efficiency.
Externalities. Decisions at the individual level are
not socially optimal when individuals do not capture
the full benefit (positive externalities) or bear the full
cost (negative externalities) of their activities. Examples
of positive and negative externalities are education and
pollution. The general public benefits from the high
productivity and good citizenship of a well-educated
person and suffers from pollution. Without Government
intervention, people will engage less than socially optimal in activities that generate positive externalities and
more in activities that generate negative externalities.
Federal programs can address externalities by influencing individuals’ incentives.
Effects of Changing Financial Markets
Financial markets have become much more efficient,
thanks to technological advances and financial services
deregulation. By facilitating the gathering and processing of information and lowering transaction costs,
technological advances have significantly contributed to
improving the screening of credit and insurance applicants, enhancing liquidity, refining risk management,
and spurring competition. Deregulation, represented by
the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Act
of 1997 and the Financial Services Modernization Act
of 1999, has increased competition and prompted consolidation by removing geographic and industry barriers.
These changes have reduced market imperfections,
and hence weakened the role of Federal credit and insurance programs. The private market now has more
information and better technology to process it, has
better means to secure resources, and is more competitive. As a result, the private market is more willing
and able to serve the populations traditionally targeted
by Federal programs. The benefits of technological advances and deregulation, however, have been uneven
across sectors and populations. To remain effective,
therefore, Federal credit and insurance programs need
to focus more narrowly on those sectors that have been

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

less affected by financial evolution and those populations that still have difficulty in obtaining credit from
private lenders. The Federal Government also needs
to pay more attention to new challenges introduced by
financial evolution and other economic developments.
Even those changes that are beneficial overall often
bring new risks and challenges.
The Federal role of alleviating the information problem is generally not as important as it once was. Nowadays, lenders and insurers have easy access to large
databases, powerful computing devices, and sophisticated analytical models. This advancement in communication and information processing technology enables
lenders to evaluate the risk of borrowers more objectively and accurately. As a result, creditworthy borrowers are less likely to be turned down, while highrisk borrowers are less likely to be approved for credit.
The improvement, however, may be uneven across sectors. The prevalence of credit scoring (an automated
process that converts relevant borrower characteristics
into a numerical score indicating creditworthiness) is
a good sign that the information problem is not serious.
Credit scoring is widely applied to home mortgages and
consumer loans, but for small business loans and agricultural loans, its application is largely limited to small
loans. Credit scoring is still difficult to apply to some
borrowers with unique characteristics that are difficult
to standardize.
Financial evolution has also alleviated resource constraints faced by private entities. Advanced financial
instruments have enabled lenders and insurers to manage risks more effectively and secure needed funds
more easily. Thus, it is less likely that a large potential
loss discourages an insurer from offering an actuarially
fair contract or that the lack of liquid funds prevents
a lender from lending to creditworthy borrowers. Financial derivatives, such as options, swaps, and futures,
have improved the market’s ability to manage and
share various types of risk such as price risk, interest
rate risk, credit risk, and even catastrophe-related risk.
An insurer can distribute the risk of a natural or manmade catastrophe among a large number of investors
through catastrophe-related derivatives. The extent of
risk sharing in this way, however, is still limited because of the small size of the market for those products.
Securitization (pooling a certain type of asset and selling shares of the asset pool to investors) facilitates fund
raising and risk management. By securitizing loans,
even a lender with limited access to capital can make
a large amount of loans while limiting its exposure
to credit and interest risk.
Imperfect competition is much less likely in general,
thanks to financial deregulation and improved communication technology. Financial deregulation removed geographic and industry barriers to competition. As a result, major financial holding companies offer both banking and insurance products nationwide. Internet-based
financial services have lowered the cost of financial
transactions and reduced the importance of physical
location. These developments have been particularly

87

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

more beneficial to small and geographically isolated
customers, as lower transaction costs make it easier
to offer good prices to small customers. In addition,
there are more financing alternatives for both commercial and individual borrowers that used to rely heavily
on banks. Many commercial firms borrow directly in
capital markets, bypassing financial intermediaries; the
use of commercial paper (short-term financing instruments issued by corporations) has been particularly notable. Venture capital has become a much more important financing source for small businesses. Finance
companies have gained market shares both in business
and consumer financing.
Problems related to externalities may persist because
the price mechanisms that drive the private market
ignore the value of externalities. Externalities, however,
are a general market failure, rather than a financial
market failure. Thus, credit and insurance programs
are not necessarily the best means to address
externalities, and their effectiveness should be compared with other forms of Government intervention,
such as tax incentives and grants. In particular, if a
credit program was initially intended to address multiple problems including externalities, and those other
problems have been alleviated, then there may be a
better way to address the remaining externalities.
Overall, the financial market has become more efficient and safer. Financial evolution and other economic
II.

developments, however, are often accompanied by new
risks. In addition, security-related risks unexpectedly
emerged in recent years, prompting Government intervention. Federal agencies need to be vigilant to identify
and manage new risks to the Budget. For example,
financial derivatives enable their users either to decrease or to increase risk exposure. If some beneficiaries
of Federal programs use financial derivatives to take
more risk, the costs of Federal programs, especially insurance programs, can rise sharply. The sheer size of
some financial institutions has also created a new risk.
While well-diversified institutions are generally safer,
even a single failure of a large private institution or
a GSE, such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Federal
Home Loan Banks could shake the entire financial market. A more visible risk today is the Pension Benefit
Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) of the Department of
Labor. PBGC is facing serious financial challenges due
to unfavorable economic conditions in recent years and
to flaws in program structure.
The September 11 attacks have increased securityrelated risks. The Federal Government had to intervene, due to the reluctance of private insurers to offer
sufficient coverage. Managing insurance programs covering security-related risks is challenging because security-related events, such as terrorism and war, are
highly uncertain in terms of both the frequency of occurrence and the magnitude of potential loss.

PERFORMANCE OF CREDIT AND INSURANCE PROGRAMS

The Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) produces an assessment of the performance of federal programs designed to be consistent across programs. This
section analyzes the PART score for credit and insurance programs as a group to identify the strengths
and weaknesses of credit and insurance programs.
PART Scores
The PART classifies performance into four categories
(program purpose and design, strategic planning, program management, and program results) and assigns
a numerical score (0 to 100 percent) to each category.
The overall rating (effective, moderately effective, adequate, ineffective, or results not demonstrated) is determined based on the numerical scores and some other
factors.

There are 23 credit programs (defined as those involving repayment obligations) and 3 insurance programs among 607 programs that have been rated by
the PART. For the group as a whole, credit and insurance programs have fairly similar PART scores to those
for other programs (see Table ‘‘Summary of PART
Scores’’). When appropriately weighted, higher scores
for credit and insurance programs in two categories
are roughly offset by lower scores in the other two
categories. The overall ratings for credit and insurance
programs, however, are more clustered around the middle; the rating of ‘‘adequate’’ is much more common
for credit and insurance programs (48 percent, compared with 25 percent for other programs), while the
ratings of ‘‘effective’’ (4 percent, compared with 15 percent for other programs) and ‘‘results not demonstrated’’

(15 percent, compared with 30 percent for other programs) are rarer. The clustering around the middle suggests that most credit and insurance programs make
useful contributions, but need to improve their effectiveness.
Across categories, credit and insurance programs
show some similarities to other types of programs. For
most programs that have been rated by the PART, the
scores are relatively high for program purpose and design and for program management, while the scores
are low for program results. This general pattern holds
for credit and insurance programs. Relative to other
programs, however, credit and insurance programs
scored low in program purpose and design and high
in program results.
The PART indicates that most credit and insurance
programs have clear purposes. Many credit and insurance programs, however, fail to score high in program
design. Some are duplicative of other federal programs
or private sources, and some have flawed designs limiting their effectiveness and efficiency. Flawed designs
are generally correctable. If some programs have become redundant or duplicative of the private sector’s
activities due to financial evolution, however, those programs need to be reviewed carefully. They may need
to be refocused on activities that have been affected
less by financial evolution, or to be discontinued.
In the program management category, while most
credit and insurance programs are strong in basic financial and accounting practices, such as spending
funds for intended purposes, some programs show
weaknesses in more sophisticated financial management, such as cost control. Overall, credit and insurance programs are somewhat better in financial management than other programs. Given that these programs deal with highly complex financial problems,
however, credit and insurance programs may still need
to make significant improvements and show superior
performance in financial management.
Program results, the most important category of performance, are a weak area for credit and insurance
programs, as well as for some other programs assessed
by the PART. A particularly troubling indication from
detailed analyses is that many credit and insurance
programs show deficiencies in program effectiveness
and achieving results. Based on this finding, the managers of credit and insurance programs need to place
much more emphasis on results-driven management.
Common Features
Credit programs share many features that distinguish them from other programs. For example, the cost
is uncertain because of various risks, such as default
risk, prepayment risk, and interest rate risk. Most credit programs are also intended to address imperfections
in financial markets. These common features are discussed in relation to the four areas of the PART. Although this section focuses on credit programs, much
of the discussion also applies to insurance programs.
For example, the cost is uncertain for insurance pro-

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

grams, too, because insured events occur unexpectedly.
Financial market imperfections are also the main justification for insurance programs. Understanding common features should help to interpret PART results
and to devise adequate steps to improve performance.
Program purpose and design. Program purposes
vary widely across credit programs. They include increasing homeownership, increasing the number of college graduates, promoting entrepreneurship, and promoting exports. The private market serves some of
these distinctive purposes better now than it did in
the past. Thus, changes in financial markets may have
significantly affected the usefulness of some credit programs. Examining the effect of financial evolution may
be a critical part of achieving effective reforms.
Credit programs share many critical elements of design. They try to correct imperfections in financial markets by making credit available to those borrowers who
would not be able to obtain credit at reasonable cost
without government assistance. To target the right borrowers, the program design needs to takes into account
various factors, such as borrowers’ incentives, accessibility, the state of financial markets, and general economic conditions. Credit programs also need to deal
with many complexities, such as screening borrowers,
servicing loans, and collecting defaulted loans. Given
these complexities, most credit programs may benefit
from the private sector’s expertise. To be effective, however, partnership with the private sector should be designed such that the private partner’s profit is closely
tied to its contribution to increasing the program’s effectiveness and efficiency. Private lenders are generally
better at screening borrowers, but their incentive to
screen borrowers effectively evaporates if the Government provides a 100-percent loan guarantee.
Strategic planning. Credit programs operate in
rapidly changing financial markets. Thus, an important
aspect of strategic planning for credit programs is to
adapt to changes in financial markets. To achieve maximum efficiency, program managers need to adapt their
programs quickly to new developments. For example,
private lenders are more willing to serve many customers to whom they did not want to lend in the past.
Thus, some Federal credit programs may find themselves serving a narrower pool of riskier customers and
need to adjust their policies and cost estimates accordingly. Quickly adopting new technologies is also important, because financial institutions are increasingly applying advanced technologies to risk management. Falling behind, Federal credit and insurance programs can
be left with much riskier customers as private entities
attract better-risk customers away from Federal programs.
Program management. Credit programs face some
unique challenges. To assess how credit programs manage the challenges, the PART adds two extra items
for credit programs; one item addresses managing risks
and the other addresses estimating the program’s cost
and risk. Credit programs share similar risks as does
the lending business. To manage those risks effectively,

89

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

program managers need to monitor the credit quality
of loans and practice tight financial management. For
credit programs, accurately estimating the program cost
is a critical element of effective management. The
cashflow is uncertain for credit programs; some loans
default, while some others are prepaid. Thus, the program cost must be estimated based on the expected
default, prepayment, and recovery rates. An inaccurate
estimation would result in inadequate budgeting and
incorrect program evaluation.
Some other management issues are more important,
though not unique, for credit programs than they are
for other programs. Data collection, for example, is critical for effective risk management and accurate cost
estimation. Effective risk management requires accurate and timely information on loan performance. The
key ingredients of predicting loan performance are loan
performance histories and detailed data on borrower
and lender characteristics.
Program Results. The main difficulty in evaluating
program performance is measuring the net outcome of
the program (improvement in the intended outcome net
of what would have occurred in the absence of the
program). Suppose that an education program is intended to increase the number of college graduates.
Although it is straightforward to measure the number
of college graduates who were assisted by the program,
it is difficult to tell how many of those would not have
obtained a college degree without the program’s assist-

ance. Credit programs face an additional difficulty of
estimating the program cost accurately. In evaluating
programs, the outcome must be weighed against the
cost. In the above example, the ultimate measure of
effectiveness is not the net number of college graduates
produced by the program but the net number per Federal dollar spent on the program. Thus, an inaccurate
cost estimation would lead to incorrect program evaluation; an underestimation (overestimation) of the cost
would make the program appear unduly effective (ineffective). Results for credit programs need to be interpreted in conjunction with the accuracy of cost estimation.
The net outcome of a credit program can change
quickly because it depends on the state of financial
markets, which are very dynamic. The net outcome can
decrease, as private entities become more willing to
serve those customers whom they were reluctant to
serve in the past, or it can increase if financial markets
fail to function smoothly due to some temporary disturbances. Thus, the effect of financial evolution needs
to be analyzed carefully. A sub-par performance by a
credit program could be related to financial market developments; the program might have failed to adapt
to rapid changes in financial markets, or its function
might have become obsolete due to financial evolution.
The program should be restructured in the former case,
and discontinued in the latter case.

PART Cross-Cut for Credit Programs
As one of the world’s largest lenders, with a portfolio of nearly $1.5 trillion in direct loans and loan guarantees,
the Federal Government has a great interest in efficient risk management. This need is even stronger when considered in the context of the Government’s target borrower population: those whose risk profiles prevent them
from obtaining private credit on reasonable terms. Given the higher default probability and the substantial portfolio size, lax management can result in a large increase in the cost to the Government. Thus, the Government
must adopt effective risk management techniques to keep defaults in check and increase recoveries when defaults
do occur.
At the same time, the Government must ensure that it is effectively serving its intended borrowers. A number of
credit program PART scores indicate that many agencies lack the data, processes, or overall understanding of the
credit lifecycle (origination, loan servicing/lender monitoring, liquidation, and debt collection) to achieve these
dual, and occasionally conflicting, goals.
Over the next year, OMB will conduct a PART cross-cut examining the major credit agencies’ programs. This effort will be supported by a Credit Council comprised of OMB and agency representatives. The Council will identify
agency and private sector best practices that can be implemented across the major credit agencies, leading to
higher program and management efficiencies, budgetary savings, and improved PART scores.

III.

CREDIT IN FOUR SECTORS

Housing Credit Programs and GSEs
The Federal Government makes direct loans, provides
loan guarantees, and enhances liquidity in the housing
market to promote homeownership among low- and
moderate-income people and to help finance rental

housing for low-income people. While direct loans are
largely limited to low-income borrowers, loan guarantees are offered to a much larger segment of the population, including moderate-income borrowers. Increased
liquidity achieved through GSEs benefits virtually all
borrowers in the housing market.

90
Federal Housing Administration
In June 2002, the President issued America’s Homeownership Challenge to increase first-time minority
homeowners by 5.5 million through 2010. During the
first two and a quarter years since the goal was announced, over 1.9 million minority families have become
homeowners. HUD’s Federal Housing Administration
(FHA) accounted for over 400,000 of these first-time
minority homebuyers through its insurance funds,
mainly the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund. FHA
mortgage insurance provides access to homeownership
for people who lack the traditional financial resources
or credit history to qualify for a home mortgage in
the conventional marketplace. In 2004, FHA insured
$107 billion in mortgages for almost 900 thousand
households. Over 70 percent of these were people buying their first homes, many of whom were minorities.
For 2006, FHA is proposing two new mortgage programs that reduce the biggest barriers to homeownership—the down payment and impaired credit. The Zero
Down mortgage allows first-time buyers with a strong
credit record to finance 100 percent of the purchase
price and closing costs. For borrowers with limited or
weak credit histories, Payment Incentives initially
charges a higher insurance premium, but reduces the
borrower’s premiums once they have established a history of regular payments, thereby demonstrating their
creditworthiness.
The program was evaluated under the PART. The
assessment found that the program is meeting its statutory objective to serve underserved borrowers while
maintaining an adequate capital reserve. In 2004, 73
percent of FHA-insured loans were to first-time homeowners, and 37 percent were to minority homebuyers.
However, the program lacks quantifiable annual and
long-term performance goals which measure FHA’s ability to achieve its statutory mission. In addition, the
program’s credit model does not accurately predict
losses to the insurance fund, nor can FHA demonstrate
its ability to reduce fraud in the program.
In response to these findings, in 2006 FHA will establish performance goals for the percentage of FHA Single
Family endorsements for first-time and minority homeowners, and performance goals for fraud detection and
prevention. FHA will also continue development of a
credit model that more accurately and reliably predicts
claims costs.
VA Housing Program
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) assists veterans, members of the Selected Reserve, and active
duty personnel to purchase homes as recognition of
their service to the Nation. The program substitutes
the Federal guarantee for the borrower’s down payment. In 2004, VA provided $35 billion in guarantees
to assist 270,571 borrowers.
Since the main purpose of this program is to help
veterans, lending terms are more favorable than loans
without a VA guarantee. In particular, VA guarantees

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

zero down payment loans. VA provided 109,493 zero
down payment loans in 2004.
To help veterans retain their homes and avoid the
expense and damage to their credit resulting from foreclosure, VA plans aggressive intervention to reduce the
likelihood of foreclosures when loans are referred to
VA after missing three payments. VA was successful
in 44 percent of its 2004 interventions, and its goal
is to achieve at least a 47 percent success rate in 2006.
Rural Housing Service
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Housing
Service (RHS) offers direct and guaranteed loans and
grants to help very low- to moderate-income rural residents buy and maintain adequate, affordable housing.
The single family guaranteed loan program guarantees
up to 90 percent of a private loan for low- to moderateincome (115 percent of median income or less) rural
residents. The programs’ emphasis is on reducing the
number of rural residents living in substandard housing. In 2004, over $4.5 billion in assistance was provided by RHS for homeownership loans and loan guarantees; $3.23 billion of guarantees went to 34,800
households, of which 30 percent went to very low- and
low-income families (with income 80 percent or less
than median area income).
For the section 502 guaranteed loan program, the
2005 appropriation bill increased the guarantee fee on
new loans to 2.0 percent. This was coupled with language that would allow the guarantee fee to be financed
as part of the loan. The ability to finance the guarantee
fee is more in line with the housing industry, including
HUD and VA, and will allow more lower-income rural
Americans to realize the dream of home ownership.
The guarantee fee for refinance loans remains 0.5 percent. The guarantee fees are expected to remain at
the same rate in 2006. Funding in 2006 stands at $3
billion for purchase loans, and $225 million for refinance loans.
RHS programs differ from other Federal housing loan
guarantee programs. RHS programs are means-tested
and more accessible to low-income, rural residents. In
addition, the RHS section 502 direct loans offer extraordinary assistance to lower-income homeowners by reducing the interest rate down to as low as 1 percent
for such borrowers. The section 502 direct program
helps the ‘‘on the cusp’’ borrower obtain a mortgage,
and requires graduation to private credit as the borrower’s income and equity in their home increases over
time. The interest rate depends on the borrower’s income. Each loan is reviewed annually to determine the
interest rate that should be charged on the loan in
that year based on the borrower’s projected annual income. The direct program cost is balanced between interest subsidy and defaults. For 2006, RHS expects to
provide $1.0 billion in loans with a subsidy cost of
11.39 percent.
RHS also offers multifamily rental housing loans, and
loans and grants for farm labor housing. Direct loans
are provided to private, public, and non-profit borrowers

91

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

to construct, rehabilitate, and repair multi-family rental
housing for very low- and low-income residents, either
through general occupancy properties or elderly and
handicapped housing. To help achieve affordable rents,
the interest rate is subsidized to a level between 1
and 2 percent. Many very low- and low-income residents’ rents are further reduced to 30 percent of their
adjusted income through rental assistance grants. During 2006, $641 million for Section 521 rental assistance
will be directed primarily to continue existing commitments.
RHS recently received a contracted study that addressed the preservation issues surrounding the over
40-year old program. A long-term initiative has been
shaped to address the revitalization of the 17,400-property portfolio. During 2006, $214 million will be directed to begin the revitalization initiative, primarily
to transition existing residents in properties leaving the
program. The $27 million loan program level for the
direct rural rental housing will be used to address repair and rehabilitation needs of preservation worthy
properties. Additionally, the farm labor housing combined grant and loan level will provide $56 million in
2006 for new construction as well as repair and rehabilitation. RHS also guarantees multifamily rental
housing loans. RHS expects to be able to guarantee
$200 million in loans for 2006, which is double the
amount from 2005.
Housing GSEs
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were chartered by Congress to increase the liquidity of mortgages and to promote access to mortgage credit for groups that historically have been underserved by private markets. Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac do not participate directly in
the origination of mortgages. They carry out their chartered mission primarily by purchasing residential mortgages or guaranteeing mortgage-backed securities
(MBS) consisting of residential mortgages. The guaranteed MBS are held by investors, mortgage lenders, and
increasingly by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac themselves. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac finance their acquisition of loans and MBS assets by issuing debt; both
also charge fees to mortgage originators who exchange
a pool of loans for MBS issued and guaranteed by one
of the enterprises.
As Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs),
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have a unique status
among private financial institutions. They are publicly
held companies but were granted certain privileges to
facilitate their chartered mission, including exemption
from most state and local taxes and registration requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Also, their debt and MBS may be held
without limit by federally chartered depository institutions.
Regulatory oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
is shared among multiple agencies across the Government. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), an independent agency in the Depart-

ment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is
the primary safety and soundness regulator of Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac. HUD is responsible for the establishment and enforcement of affordable housing
goals for the enterprises, ensuring their compliance
with fair housing laws and their charters, and reviewing new activities and programs in consultation with
OFHEO. The Treasury Department has discretionary
authority to approve or disapprove the issuance of the
GSEs’ debt, and the SEC now regulates Fannie Mae
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Freddie
Mac has not yet registered under the 1934 Act, but
has publicly committed to do so when able.
The Federal Home Loan Bank System (FHLBS) was
established by Congress to provide liquidity to home
mortgage lenders who are members of the individual
Banks. The System comprises 12 separate, regional
Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs, or Banks), each
of which is a member-owned cooperative. The Banks
issue debt for which the Banks are jointly and severally
liable, and use the proceeds principally to make advances (secured loans) to their members. Member institutions primarily secure advances with residential
mortgages and other housing-related assets. Like
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Banks have been
granted special privileges as part of their Government
charter, including exemption of their corporate earnings
from Federal income tax and from State and local taxes.
In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury has authority
to purchase up to $4 billion of these entities’ debt securities. In recent years, some FHLBs have begun to purchase mortgages from their members. At the end of
2003, the 12 FHLBs held about $115 billion of mortgages, equivalent to 7 percent of the combined total
of $1.5 trillion held by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
In addition, as of 2003, the FHLBs held about $774
billion in debt, while Fannie Mae held $976 billion,
and Freddie Mac held $757 billion.
The Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB) regulates the mission and the safety and soundness of the
FHLBs. As it does with respect to Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac, the Treasury Department has discretionary authority over the issuance of FHLB debt. The
FHFB recently required that the FHLBs register with
the SEC, and registration is expected for most if not
all of the FHLBs later this year.
GSE Borrowing Advantage
Their unique status enables all three housing GSEs
to borrow at rates lower than investors would ordinarily
accept, theoretically to pay higher prices to originating
lenders for mortgages, and in the case of the FHLBs
to make low-cost advances to member institutions. Although the prospectus for each GSE security clearly
states that it is not backed by the U.S. Government,
the misperception exists among many investors that
the Government backs the GSEs. In 2004 the Congressional Budget Office estimated the implicit Federal subsidy to the three housing GSEs was $23 billion during
the previous year. A Federal Reserve study suggests

92

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

that over one-half of the implicit subsidy to Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac accrues to the GSEs’ shareholders.
Risk
As with all financial institutions, risk is inherent in
the way the housing GSEs conduct their business. By
assuming and managing some of the risks arising from
mortgage lending, the GSEs generate some benefits for
consumers and significant profits for their owners.
However, the mix of benefits and risks varies depending
on how the GSEs conduct their businesses.
Credit Risk. By issuing and guaranteeing securities
based on pools of mortgages they purchase from lenders, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac assume some portion
of credit risk, which enhances liquidity to the mortgage
market and thereby reduces the cost of credit to borrowers. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac control their credit risk by using underwriting standards to evaluate the
mortgages they purchase for securitization. Their risk
is further limited by statutory provisions that require
private mortgage insurance or equivalent protection on
high loan-to-value ratio mortgages. Credit losses for the
enterprises, as a percentage of the face value of mortgages they purchased, averaged 5.4 basis points for a
fifteen-year period ending in 2002 and have been declining. Viewed in isolation, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s
assumption of credit risk arising from guarantees of
MBS held by other investors benefits the market and
homebuyers while incurring a risk that is easily managed and well-understood.
Interest Rate Risk. A more challenging form of risk
arises from the effect that interest rate movements can
have on portfolios of mortgages and mortgage-backed

securities. Interest rate risk arises from the changing
market values of the GSEs’ interest-sensitive assets and
liabilities. Interest rate movements can cause the interest margins between their mortgage and other assets
and their liabilities to grow or shrink, potentially
changing the mark-to-market value of their equity capital and estimated future earnings dramatically in a
short period. Historically, the FHLBs assumed interest
rate risk by issuing debt and using the proceeds to
make loans, often of comparable maturities, to member
institutions to support their mortgage lending and other
investments; this risk is somewhat mitigated since they
often require prepayment penalties on advances to
member institutions. Much more recently, however,
some of the Banks have created mortgage purchase
programs that assume interest rate risk for pools of
mortgages.
Fannie Mae, and more recently Freddie Mac, have
built large portfolios of mortgages and repurchased
MBS. However, by choosing to borrow substantially in
order to build large retained portfolios of mortgages
and mortgage-backed securities, they assume a different, more challenging set of risks and increase the
complexity of their operations. Their ability to repurchase large volumes of their own MBS is driven by
their ability to finance these mortgages with lower-cost
debt than other investors, thanks to market
misperceptions of a unique status for the enterprises
that allow them to borrow at lower rates. Federal Reserve economists have found no evidence that these
repurchases provide any additional benefit to borrowers. They clearly provide an opportunity for the
GSEs to increase their earnings, however.

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

At the end of 2003, Fannie Mae’s retained portfolio
as a percentage of its MBS outstanding (held by others)
was 69.4 percent, or almost $900 billion; Freddie Mac’s
retained portfolio as a percentage of MBS outstanding
was 78.1 percent, or over $600 billion. In periods of
declining interest rates, mortgage refinancings increase,
so higher-yielding mortgages prepay, exposing holders
of these mortgages or securities based on them to the
risk of having to reinvest these funds at lower rates.
As Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan has noted,
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have chosen not to offset
the interest rate risk arising from their portfolio operations by increasing capital but to attempt to manage
that risk by issuing callable debt and by purchasing
derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate
swaps and options on swaps. For example, they might
hedge fixed-rate mortgages, which drop in value when
interest rates increase, using derivative instruments
that increase in value under the same scenario. The
techniques necessary to manage interest rate risk and
its potential effect on earnings are complex, and their
management becomes increasingly difficult with increases in the size and complexity of the portfolio to
be managed. Chairman Greenspan has also noted that
the sophistication of the operations required to hedge
prepayment risk with little capital places an enormous
burden on these institutions.
Like other financial institutions, the housing GSEs
attempt to limit their interest rate exposure and the
effect of interest rate movements on their earnings.
Chairman Greenspan has suggested statutory limits on
the dollar amount of the debt held by Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac relative to the dollar amounts of mortgages securitized and held by other investors, and limiting the ability of the FHLBs to hold mortgages and
mortgage-backed securities directly, as additional ways
to manage the interest rate risk of the GSEs.
Operations risk. Recent events reinforced concerns
over the risks posed by the GSEs and their existing
regulatory framework. These events have illustrated
how the burden of managing interest rate risk mixed
with management deficiencies can lead to operational
failings. In 2003, Freddie Mac reported that it had understated its earnings by $5 billion over three years,
and eventually acknowledged substantial issues with
accounting, management practices, and internal controls. OFHEO subsequently assessed substantial financial penalties on the company, and its senior management was replaced. A year-long investigation into the
accounting, internal controls, and management practices at Fannie Mae by OFHEO led to findings of inappropriate accounting procedures and practices, internal
control deficiencies, and questionable management
oversight. The SEC concurred in the finding of inappropriate accounting practices and directed that Fannie
restate its earnings for 2001–2004. These findings led
Fannie Mae to replace its Chairman and CEO, and
its CFO. The Enterprise estimated it would be forced
to recognize $9 billion in losses, reducing its capital
below the regulatory minimum requirement. During the

93
same period, two of the twelve FHLBs entered into
written agreements with FHFB that required review
of operational practices and controls, announcing that
their accounting practices needed revision and, in one
instance, that earnings required restatement.
These developments now reveal some of the ways
that the assumption of large-scale interest rate risk
complicates the operational challenges facing the GSEs.
The techniques necessary to manage interest rate risk
and its potential effect on earnings are complex, and
their management becomes increasingly difficult with
increases in the size and complexity of the portfolio
to be managed. While other large financial institutions
may face similar challenges, the management of interest rate risk and operations risk is a particular challenge for the GSEs, given their size, regulatory structure, and the lack of full market discipline.
The rules governing accounting for derivatives likewise are complex. Interpreting and applying the accounting rules have posed challenges to companies that
use derivatives. Out of concern that firms were using
inconsistent methods to account for the use of derivatives to hedge interest rate risk and the potential that
their use could obscure a company’s true position or
misrepresent earnings, in 1998 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) promulgated the rule
known as FAS 133; it became effective in 2000. In
part, this rule requires companies, with narrow exceptions, to reflect on their balance sheets the amount
that derivatives rise or fall in value, even if derivatives
contracts are still open and gains or losses are not
yet locked in.
In 2004, OFHEO found, and the SEC concurred, that
Fannie did not adequately document its hedges and
routinely violated FAS 133 in a number of ways. For
example, Fannie Mae, in its treatment of hedges when
it changed financial strategies and, with no new testing
or proof of effectiveness, took derivatives that were initially paired with one liability, and paired them with
another. The SEC also found that Fannie Mae failed
to comply in material respects with FAS 133. At
OFHEO’s behest, Fannie Mae agreed to cease all hedge
accounting that did not conform with FAS 133 by the
first quarter of CY 2005, and to ensure going forward
that all hedge accounting complies with this requirement. Fannie Mae has already stated that this correction will reduce its capital and its earnings by $9 billion
from 2001 through mid-2004. This leaves Fannie Mae
below the minimum regulatory capital requirement and
subjects it to further regulatory actions. This follows
upon the events of 2003, when Freddie Mac discovered
substantial accounting and internal control issues, including issues with the application of FAS 133, leading
to replacement of senior management and restatement
of its financial statements over the 2000–2003 timeframe. The SEC and the Department of Justice have
continued to investigate both Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac.
During the same period, the FHFB announced a written agreement with the FHLB of Chicago which re-

94
sulted in a review of the Bank’s accounting practices,
changes to certain accounting methods under FAS 133,
and subsequently, a delay in the Bank’s issuance of
its third quarter 2004 financial statements.
The failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and,
to a lesser extent, the FHLBs to account for the use
of derivatives and hedges consistent with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) prompted their
regulators to investigate for the presence of control deficiencies and weaknesses in corporate governance, which
they have identified. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were
cited within a nine-month period for serious and systemic operational control deficiencies that contributed
in part to the need for massive earnings restatements.
The cited deficiencies included management cultures
that stressed earnings stability at the expense of other
considerations, ineffective processes for developing accounting policies, and absence of independent internal
controls for review of certain transactions. These developments highlight the risks inherent in the GSEs’ operations, risks that because of their size and relationships
with other institutions could have far-reaching effects
should one of them falter.
Systemic Risk. The risks undertaken by the GSEs,
if not properly managed, may pose a threat to their
solvency. Under some circumstances, they also may
threaten the stability or solvency of other financial institutions and the economy. Current Federal law explicitly exempts the securities of the GSEs from the statutory limitation on commercial banks’ investment in the
‘‘investment securities’’ of individual firms. In a February 2003 study conducted by OFHEO utilizing FDIC
data, over 2,000 commercial banks held at least 51
percent of their capital in the form of debt issued by
Fannie Mae; and almost 1,000 commercial banks held
at least 51 percent of their capital in the form of debt
issued by Freddie Mac.
Should a financial crisis affecting the GSEs and other
financial actors develop, the market’s misperception of
Government backing of GSE securities could affect its
course and resolution. A September 2004 Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta study indicated concern that severe stress to one of the GSEs might contribute to
weakness in other financial institutions that hold significant GSE obligations, especially if the path to resolution of the crisis and the potential for Government
intervention are misunderstood.
The potential for systemic risk arising from the GSEs’
size and their central role in mortgage markets combined with the difficulty of managing the risks inherent
in a large mortgage portfolio raise fundamental questions about the value they add through their support
for mortgage lending and reduced costs to borrowers
relative to the risks their current operations pose. Some
research by Federal Reserve economists suggests that
GSE securitization activities have a relatively small effect on mortgage interest rates—just a few dollars a
month on an average mortgage—and that their practice
of holding mortgages in portfolio has almost no effect
on mortgage costs. Instead of being leaders in increas-

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

ing historically underserved groups’ access to credit,
the GSEs have actually trailed the market averages
in a number of dimensions. The Administration has
sought to narrow the gap by lessening the risks posed
by the GSEs and increasing the benefits they offer to
the public.
Enhancing Safety and Soundness
Events of the past year reinforced concerns over the
risks posed by the GSEs and highlighted the need for
meaningful GSE reform. A strengthened regulator
would have the in-house expertise to monitor accounting methodology and to detect any problems, as well
as the authority and expertise to monitor regulatory
standards for the development and implementation of
systems and controls. A strong regulator would also
hold the authority to place a failing entity into receivership similar to that held by the other financial safety
and soundness regulators.
The Administration intends that any proposed new
regulatory framework for the GSEs follows the principles for regulation of financial institutions established
by the international Basel Committee, principles accepted throughout the world as requirements for firstclass regulation. As described in the President’s FY
2005 Budget, these principles involve increasing market
discipline, strengthening supervision, and ensuring appropriate capital requirements.
Market Discipline. Chief among the factors that guide
a company in its decision-making is the discipline imposed by the market. Investors can discipline the GSEs
to the extent that they have adequate information
about their risks and financial condition. Current market discipline is hindered by a misperception that the
Federal Government would back GSE securities in the
event of a GSE default, and because GSE investors
do not enjoy the same level of disclosure, or oversight
of disclosures, as investors in other public companies.
Ironically, at the times when investors would most benefit from detailed information about the enterprises’ finances, they are left without adequate information for
months or years.
The Administration in 2002 called upon the three
housing GSEs to register voluntarily their equity securities under the 1934 Securities Exchange Act. In June
2004, the FHFB adopted a final rule that will require
each FHLB to register a class of its stock by June
30, 2005, leading to improved disclosures. Fannie Mae
voluntarily registered and began filing disclosures with
the SEC in 2003. However, because of its recent accounting problems, Fannie Mae is no longer able to
provide these disclosures. Freddie Mac does not anticipate being in compliance with SEC standards before
the second quarter of 2006. Since the GSEs are not
subject to the same market discipline as other public
companies, market discipline by itself is not always
sufficient to ensure safety and soundness.
Supervision. An effective financial regulator must
possess authorities commensurate with its responsibilities and capabilities. The Administration determined

95

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

that the safety and soundness regulators of the housing
GSEs lack sufficient powers and stature to meet their
responsibilities. The President’s 2005 Budget reflected,
therefore, that both OFHEO, regulator of Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac, and the FHFB, regulator of the
FHLBS, should be replaced with a new, consolidated
regulatory regime, empowered with expanded enforcement authority, receivership authority, and access to
its funding independent of the annual appropriations
process.
A new regulator, like other Federal regulators of financial institutions, must have full authority together
with accountability for the prudential supervision of
the enterprises, which includes the authority to approve
new activities of the enterprises. It would have authority to review their ongoing business activities and reject
new ones if they would be inconsistent with their charter or prudential operations or incompatible with the
public interest. HUD would continue to be consulted
on new activities in order to ensure that the GSEs
are in compliance with their charters and that the
GSEs carry out their public mission.
Currently, the means by which the failure of a GSE
could be resolved differs between Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac, on the one hand, and the FHLBs, on
the other. In the case of a failed FHLB, the FHFB
has power to liquidate such institution, subject to certain limitations relating to the whole number of Banks
in the system. OFHEO, on the other hand, lacks the
power to place an entity into bankruptcy or receivership.
The Federal banking regulators have broad powers
to place a failed institution into receivership, and to
conduct the orderly wind-down of a failed bank in such
a way that systemic disruption is minimized. Giving
such uniform powers to a Federal regulator of GSEs
could likewise help prevent dislocation in financial markets in the event of the insolvency of such an institution. Further, such powers would address any
misperception that the GSEs are backed by the Government. By providing clarity to the markets that the
GSEs (and their creditors) are subject to the same business risks as are other corporate entities, an even
greater level of market discipline might be brought to
bear on the GSEs’ operations. In general, this type
of market discipline has proven very effective in ensuring that businesses operate in a prudential, and safe
and sound manner.
Capital requirements. Because neither investors nor
regulators can predict all possible errors by a company
or unexpected economic changes, requirements that ensure that the GSEs hold capital adequate to cushion
such shocks are essential. Capital requirements must
be set with an eye to both known risks and unknown
or unquantifiable risks. Losses from unknown risks can
well exceed losses from measured risks, as shown by
the rapid depletion of capital in 1998 for the highly
leveraged hedge fund, Long-Term Capital Management.
For this reason, it is essential that the new regulator
of the housing GSEs have unambiguous authority to

adjust both risk-based and minimum capital requirements.
Affordable Housing Mission
One of the public purposes of the GSEs is to promote
access to mortgage credit for low- and moderate income
families. By law, HUD establishes annual affordable
housing goals for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In
2004, HUD established the affordable housing goals for
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for 2005 through 2008.
The low and moderate income goal will increase from
50 percent (of the minimum share of housing units
financed by a GSE’s mortgage purchases in a particular
year) in 2004 to 56 percent by 2008; the underserved
areas goal will increase from 36 percent in 2004 to
39 percent by 2008; and the special affordable housing
goal will increase from 20 percent in 2004 to 27 percent
by 2008.
The table below shows how Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac have trailed the marketplace in lending to firsttime minority homebuyers in the 2001–2003 timeframe.
It is likely that, as a result of these new, higher goals,
they will need to improve their efforts to reach out
to low-income and minority first-time homebuyers.

have never owned a home. The definition for the GSEs is purchasers who have not
owned a home within the past three years. The percentages show first-time homebuyer

With their growth as a share of the mortgage marketplace, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have faced increased market competition in the acquisition of mortgages and MBS; the increase in affordable housing
goals and subgoals may mean that Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac must be more innovative or aggressive
in purchasing loans that meet the goals classifications.
They can do this in part by using a larger portion
of the subsidy they enjoy as a result of their Government ties to support purchases of goals-qualifying
loans.
Part of the Administration’s proposal for a strengthened regulatory framework would provide HUD with
the authority to penalize Fannie Mae and Freedie Mac
if they fail to reach the affordable housing goals. Current law does not permit the Secretary of HUD to impose timely and appropriate penalties for a GSE’s failure to reach a goal.
The FHLBs address their affordable housing obligations in a different fashion. For instance, by statute,

96

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

each FHLB is assessed ten percent of its net income
for support of affordable housing. This assessment enables each FHLB member to provide subsidized and
other low-cost funding to create affordable rental and
homeownership opportunities, and support for commercial and economic development activities that benefit
low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
With their large subsidy, and with their substantial
market share, the GSEs should lead the market in
creating homeownership opportunities for less advantaged Americans. However, HUD has conducted analyses showing that private lenders operating without
the benefits and subsidies enjoyed by the GSEs contribute more to affordable housing than do Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac. One purpose of a stronger regulatory
approach is to ensure that all three housing GSEs fulfill
their charter obligations.
Education Credit Programs and GSEs
The Federal Government guarantees loans through
intermediary agencies and makes direct loans to students to encourage post-secondary education. The Student Loan Marketing Association (Sallie Mae), created
in 1972 as a GSE to develop the secondary market
for guaranteed student loans, has now been privatized.
Student Loans
The Department of Education helps finance student
loans through two major programs: the Federal Family
Education Loan (FFEL) program and the William D.
Ford Federal Direct Student Loan (Direct Loan) program. Eligible institutions of higher education may participate in one or both programs. Loans are available
to students regardless of income. However, borrowers
with low family incomes are eligible for loans with additional interest subsidies. For low-income borrowers, the
Federal Government subsidizes loan interest costs
while borrowers are in school, during a six-month grace
period after graduation, and during certain deferment
periods.
In 2006, over 9 million borrowers will receive over
15.1 million loans totaling over $95 billion. Of this
amount, more than $62 billion is for new loans, and
the remainder reflects the consolidation of existing
loans. Loan levels have risen dramatically over the past
10 years as a result of rising educational costs and
an increase in eligible borrowers.
The FFEL program provides loans through an administrative structure involving over 3,500 lenders, 35
State and private guaranty agencies, roughly 50 participants in the secondary market, and approximately
6,000 participating schools. Under FFEL, banks and
other eligible lenders loan private capital to students
and parents, guaranty agencies insure the loans, and
the Federal Government reinsures the loans against
borrower default. In 2006, FFEL lenders will make over
11.5 million loans totaling over $72 billion in principal,
roughly a third of which involve consolidations of existing loans. Lenders bear two percent of the default risk,
and the Federal Government is responsible for the re-

mainder. The Department also makes administrative
payments to guaranty agencies and, at certain times,
pays interest subsidies on behalf of borrowers to lenders.
The William D. Ford Direct Student Loan program
was authorized by the Student Loan Reform Act of
1993. Under the Direct Loan program, the Federal Government provides loan capital directly to more than
1,100 schools, which then disburse loan funds to students. In 2006, the Direct Loan program will generate
almost 3.6 million loans with a total value of nearly
$23 billion, including over $7 billion in consolidations
of existing loans. The program offers a variety of flexible repayment plans including income-contingent repayment, under which annual repayment amounts vary
based on the income of the borrower and payments
can be made over 25 years with any residual balances
forgiven.
The Administration is strongly committed to the lender-based FFEL program and expects it to continue as
the primary source of loans to students in the years
ahead. In addition, the Administration will continue
to maintain a DL program to ensure that no eligible
student is denied access to student loans in the event
a student or school cannot find a suitable lender.
However, problems in the structures of the current
student loan programs prevent them from meeting current policy and program objectives. Specifically, the
Federal Government assumes almost all of the risk for
the loans, while federal subsidies to intermediaries
lenders and guaranty agencies are set high enough to
allow the less efficient ones to generate a profit. These
problems lead to unnecessary costs for taxpayers and
prevent the program from achieving the efficiencies the
market is designed to provide.
The 2006 Budget proposes a package of reforms to
both the FFEL and DL loan programs to achieve significant cost savings and improve effectiveness. These reforms will link subsidy payments for lenders and guaranty agencies more closely to their costs and will modify interest rates for borrowers who are no longer in
school and have just consolidated their loans. The
Budget achieves $34 billion in savings over ten years
by cutting unnecessary subsidies and payments to lenders, state guaranty agencies, and loan consolidators,
and by placing a larger share of the loan risks on
lenders. These savings will be used to increase the Pell
Grant maximum award, pay off the current $4 billion
Pell shortfall, and improve benefits to students in
school by increasing loan limits for first year students
and extending the current favorable interest rate
framework.
Sallie Mae
The Student Loan Marketing Association (Sallie Mae)
was created as a shareholder-owned government sponsored enterprise (GSE) by the Education Amendments
of 1972 to expand funds available for student loans
by providing liquidity to lenders engaged in the Federal
Family Education Loan Program (FFELP), formerly the

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

guaranteed student loan program (GSLP). Sallie Mae
was reorganized in 1997 pursuant to the authority
granted by the Student Loan Marketing Association Reorganization Act of 1996. Under the Reorganization Act,
the GSE became a wholly owned subsidiary of SLM
Corporation and was required to be wound down and
liquidated by January 30, 2008. On June 30, 2004, the
SLM Corporation first purchased FFELP student loans
through non-GSE affiliates and, as a result, the GSE
was required by statute to terminate purchases of
FFELP student loans. Accordingly, the GSE is no
longer a source of liquidity for SLM Corporation for
the purchase of student loans, and the GSE-related financing activities have primarily been limited to refinancing the remainder of its assets through non-GSE
sources. As of September 2004, the Company had substantially completed the wind-down of the GSE and,
on November 1, 2004, SLM Corporation sent notices
to the Secretary of Education and the Secretary of the
Treasury that it intended to wind-down and dissolve
the GSE on December 31, 2004 or as soon as practicable thereafter, three years in advance of the statutory deadline. The dissolution was completed on December 29, 2004.
All GSE debt that remains outstanding upon completion of these wind-down activities will be defeased
through the creation of a fully collateralized trust. The
collateral, consisting of cash and financial instruments
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, will generate cash flows that provide for the interest and principal obligations of the defeased debt.
Business and Rural Development Credit
Programs and GSEs
The Federal Government guarantees small business
loans to promote entrepreneurship. The Government
also offers direct loans and loan guarantees to farmers
who may have difficulty obtaining credit elsewhere and
to rural communities that need to develop and maintain
infrastructure. Two GSEs, the Farm Credit System and
the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation, increase liquidity in the agricultural lending market.
Small Business Administration
The Small Business Administration (SBA) helps entrepreneurs start, sustain, and grow small businesses.
As a ‘‘gap lender’’ SBA works to supplement market
lending and provide access to credit where private lenders are reluctant to do so without a Government guarantee. Additionally, SBA assists home- and businessowners cover the uninsured costs of recovery from disasters.
The 2006 Budget requests $307 million, including administrative funds, for SBA to leverage more than $25
billion in financing for small businesses and disaster
victims. The 7(a) General Business Loan program will
support $16.5 billion in guaranteed loans while the 504
Certified Development Company program will support
$5.5 billion in guaranteed loans. SBA will supplement
the capital of Small Business Investment Companies

97
(SBICs) with $3 billion in long-term loans for venture
capital investments in small businesses.
To continue to serve the needs of small businesses,
SBA will focus program management in three areas:
1) Targeting economic assistance to the neediest small
businesses
SBA seeks to target assistance more effectively to
credit-worthy borrowers who would not be well-served
by the commercial markets in the absence of a Government guarantee to cover defaults. SBA is actively encouraging financial institutions to increase lending to
start-up firms, low-income entrepreneurs, and borrowers in search of financing below $150,000. Preliminary evidence shows that SBA’s outreach for the 7(a)
program has been successful. Average loan size has
decreased from $258,000 in 2000 to $167,000 in 2004,
while the number of small businesses served has grown
from 43,748 to 81,133 during the same time period.
2) Improving program and risk management
Improving management by measuring and mitigating
risks in SBA’s $57 billion business loan portfolio is
one of the agency’s greatest challenges. As the agency
delegates more responsibility to the private sector to
administer SBA guaranteed loans, oversight functions
become increasingly important. SBA established the Office of Lender Oversight, which is responsible for evaluating individual SBA lenders. This office has made
progress in employing a variety of analytical techniques
to ensure sound financial management by SBA and to
hold lending partners accountable for performance.
These techniques include financial performance analysis, industry concentration analysis, portfolio performance analysis, selected credit reviews, and credit scoring
to compare lenders’ performance. The oversight program is also developing on-site safety and soundness
examinations and off-site monitoring of SBLCs and
compliance reviews of SBA lenders. In addition, the
office will develop incentives for lenders to minimize
defaults and to adopt sound performance measures.
Improving risk management also means improving
SBA’s ability to estimate more accurately the cost of
subsidizing small businesses. During 2003 and 2004,
SBA followed through on its commitment to improve
its accuracy in estimating the cost of its major credit
programs by developing loan-level credit and reestimate
models for the Section 504, Disaster, 7(a), and Secondary Market Guarantee programs. The 2006 Budget
reflects net upward reestimates of the lifetime expected
taxpayer costs for outstanding loans—of $408 million
for the 7(a) program, $123 million for the Section 504
program, $267 million for Disaster Loans, and $922
million for SBIC Participating Securities. A net downward reestimate of $60 million is also reflected for the
SBIC Debentures program. The 2006 upward trend in
reestimates generally reflects technical corrections to
credit subsidy models (e.g., the 7(a) subsidy model
failed to account for purchased interest on defaulted
loans), higher interest rates and the agency’s shift from

98
the traditional approach (based on historical account
activity) to the balances approach for performing reestimates. In adopting the balances approach, SBA uncovered that its historical records did not reconcile to the
credit programs’ asset and liability balances currently
recorded with Treasury. SBA is working to improve
its financial record keeping to mitigate future accounting discrepancies.
Total budgetary cost increases over the past 3 years
totaled $4.0 billion ($3.1 billion in reestimates and $0.9
billion for interest on the reestimates) for existing SBAguaranteed loans and $1.7 billion ($1.1 billion for reestimates and the remainder for interest on reestimates)
for existing direct loans. While most of these budgetary
cost increases related to the weak performance of the
SBIC Participating Securities program and Disaster
Loan asset sales, the agency’s two largest business programs also generated significant budgetary cost increases for taxpayers. Over the three-year period, the
net budgetary cost increase was $636 million for outstanding 7(a) guarantees ($330 million in reestimates)
and $180 million ($87 million in reestimates) for outstanding Section 504 guarantees.
The 2006 Budget supports $3 billion in guaranteed
venture capital investments for small businesses
through the SBIC Debentures program, which provides
credit financing to small business investment companies. However, the 2006 budget does not support new
guaranteed investments for the Participating Securities
program. Over ten years of operations, the Participating
Securities program has realized and projected losses
of approximately $2.2 billion out of $6.2 billion in disbursements. These losses reflect a structurally flawed
program in which the Federal Government contributes
up to two-thirds of investment capital but only receives
up to ten percent of profits. Further, as the Program
Assessment Rating Tool (PART) analysis revealed,
SBICs do not have incentives to repay capital expeditiously, extending the Government’s risk exposure.
Rather than make new investments through this program, SBA will continue to improve efforts to monitor
and mitigate risk in approximately $9 billion in commitments in the program’s portfolio. The program had
already ceased making new guaranteed investments on
October 1, 2004 because sufficient borrower fees to
cover the program’s costs were not enacted.
3) Operating more efficiently
To operate more efficiently, SBA is piloting an automated loan origination system for the Disaster Loan
program. As a result, loan-processing costs, times, and
errors will decrease, while Government responsiveness
to the needs of disaster victims will increase. SBA is
also transforming the way that staff perform loan management functions in both the 7(a) and 504 programs.
In 2004, SBA implemented new procedures for Section
504 loan processing. Results have been positive with
the average loan processing time reduced from four
weeks to only a few days. In 2005, SBA will streamline
its 7(a) loan origination functions. Similarly, SBA is

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

also centralizing its loan liquidation functions for the
Section 504 program and requiring intermediaries to
assume increased liquidation responsibilities.
USDA Rural Infrastructure and Business Development Programs
USDA provides grants, loans, and loan guarantees
to communities for constructing facilities such as
health-care clinics, day-care centers, and water and
wastewater systems. Direct loans are available at lower
interest rates for the poorest communities. These programs have very low default rates. The cost associated
with them is due primarily to subsidized interest rates
that are below the prevailing Treasury rates.
The program level for the Water and Wastewater
(W&W) treatment facility loan and grant program in
the 2006 President’s Budget is $1.5 billion. These funds
are available to communities of 10,000 or fewer residents. The program finances W&W facilities through
direct or guaranteed loans and grants. Applicant communities must be unable to finance their needs through
their own resources or with commercial credit. Priority
is given based on their median household income, poverty levels, and size of service population as determined
by USDA. The community typically receives a grant/
loan combination. The grant is usually for 35–45 percent of the project cost (it can be up to 75 percent).
Loans are for 40 years with interest rates based on
a three-tiered structure (poverty, intermediate, and
market) depending on community income. The community facility programs are targeted to rural communities
with fewer than 20,000 residents and have a program
level of $527 million in 2006. USDA also provides
grants, direct loans, and loan guarantees to assist rural
businesses, including cooperatives, to increase employment and diversify the rural economy. In 2006, USDA
proposes to provide $899 million in loan guarantees
to rural businesses (these loans serve communities of
50,000 or less).
USDA also provides loans through the Intermediary
Relending Program (IRP), which provides loan funds
at a 1 percent interest rate to an intermediary such
as a State or local government agency that, in turn,
provides funds for economic and community development projects in rural areas. In 2006, USDA expects
to retain or create over 74,784 jobs through its business
programs, which will be achieved primarily through the
Business and Industry guarantee and the IRP loan programs.
Electric and Telecommunications Loans
USDA’s Rural Utilities Service (RUS) programs provide loans for rural electrification, telecommunications,
distance learning, telemedicine, and broadband, and
also provide grants for distance learning and telemedicine. See the Budget Appendix for more information
on these programs.
Providing funding and services to needy areas is of
concern to USDA. Many rural cooperatives provide
service to areas where there are high poverty rates.
Based on PART findings, USDA is reviewing its current

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

method of issuing telecommunications loans, ‘‘first in;
first out’’, to determine if it allows for adequate support
for areas with the highest priority needs. In addition,
to ensure the electric and telecommunications programs’ focus on rural areas, USDA will require recertification of rural status for each electric and telecommunications borrower on the first loan request received in or after FY 2006 and on the first loan request
received after each subsequent Census. Legislation will
be sought to allow for the rescission of loans that are
more than ten years old.
The Budget includes $2.5 billion in direct electric
loans, $670 million in direct telecommunications loans,
$359 million in broadband loans and $25 million in
DLT grants. The budget proposes blocking the mandatory broadband funding and providing discretionary
funding. The demand for loans to rural electric cooperatives has been increasing and is expected to increase
further as borrowers replace many of the 40-year-old
electric plants. RUS electric borrowers are expected to
upgrade 225 rural electric systems, which will benefit
over 3.4 million customers. The telecommunications
borrowers are expected to fund over 50 telecommunication systems for advanced telecommunications services, which will provide broadband and high-speed
Internet access and benefit over 300 thousand rural
customers. DLT grants are expected to support the provision of distance learning facilities to 150 schools, libraries, and rural education centers and also to provide
telemedicine equipment to 150 rural health care providers, benefiting millions of residents in rural America.
The Administration proposes to establish the process
and terms to implement a dissolution of the Rural Telephone Bank (RTB). Dissolution will allow the RTB to
close as the demand for loans has been fulfilled through
other sources. In addition, the stock holders will obtain
a cash payout for their stock while removing this cumbersome program from the Government. This proposal
avoids the privatization of a bank that will either fail
or need continued Government support to remain in
operation.
Loans to Farmers
The Farm Service Agency (FSA) assists low-income
family farmers in starting and maintaining viable farming operations. Emphasis is placed on aiding beginning
and socially disadvantaged farmers. FSA offers operating loans and ownership loans, both of which may
be either direct or guaranteed loans. Operating loans
provide credit to farmers and ranchers for annual production expenses and purchases of livestock, machinery,
and equipment. Farm ownership loans assist producers
in acquiring and developing their farming or ranching
operations. As a condition of eligibility for direct loans,
borrowers must be unable to obtain private credit at
reasonable rates and terms. As FSA is the ‘‘lender of
last resort,’’ default rates on FSA direct loans are generally higher than those on private-sector loans. However, in recent years the loss rate has decreased to
3.6 percent in 2004, compared to 4.7 percent in 2003.

99
FSA guaranteed farm loans are made to more creditworthy borrowers who have access to private credit
markets. Because the private loan originators must retain 10 percent of the risk, they exercise care in examining the repayment ability of borrowers. As a result,
losses on guaranteed farm loans remain low with default rates of 0.69 percent in 2004, as compared to
0.71 percent in 2003. The subsidy rates for these programs have been fluctuating over the past several
years. These fluctuations are mainly due to the interest
component of the subsidy rate.
In 2004, FSA provided loans and loan guarantees
to approximately 26,000 family farmers totaling $3.1
billion. The number of loans provided by these programs has fluctuated over the past several years. The
average size for farm ownership loans has been increasing. The majority of assistance provided in the operating loan program is to existing FSA farm borrowers.
In the farm ownership program, new customers receive
the bulk of the benefits furnished. The demand for FSA
direct and guaranteed loans continues to be high due
to crop/livestock price decreases and some regional production problems. In 2006, USDA’s FSA proposes to
make $3.8 billion in direct and guaranteed loans
through discretionary programs.
A PART evaluation conducted in 2004 showed that
the FSA’s direct loan program functions well in general.
To improve program effectiveness further, FSA is conducting an in-depth review of its direct and guaranteed
loan portfolios to assess program performance, including the effectiveness of targeted assistance and the ability of borrowers to graduate to private credit. The results of this review will assist FSA in improving the
delivery of its services and the economic viability of
farmers and ranchers.
The Farm Credit System and Farmer Mac
The Farm Credit System (FCS or System) and the
Federal
Agricultural
Mortgage
Corporation
(FarmerMac) are Government-Sponsored Enterprises
(GSEs) that enhance credit availability for the agricultural sector. The FCS provides production, equipment,
and mortgage lending to farmers and ranchers, aquatic
producers, their cooperatives, related businesses, and
rural homeowners, while Farmer Mac provides a secondary market for agricultural real estate and rural
housing mortgages.
The Farm Credit System
During 2004, the financial condition of the System’s
banks and associations continued a 15-year trend of
improving financial health and performance. As of September 30, 2004, capital increased 11.1 percent for the
year and stood at $18.0 billion. These capital numbers
exclude $2.1 billion of restricted capital held by the
Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC).
Loan volume has increased since 1989 to $94.9 billion
in September 2004. The rate of asset growth for the
preceding three-year period (2001-2003) has been averaging 7.4 percent. However, the rate of capital accumulation has been greater, resulting in total capital (in-

100
cluding restricted capital) equaling 16.2 percent of total
assets at year-end 2003, compared to 15.3 percent at
year-end 2000. Nonperforming loans decreased significantly to 0.88 percent of total loans in September 2004,
compared to 1.38 percent in September 2003. Competitive pressures, higher balances of lower yielding investments, and a low interest rate environment have narrowed the FCS’s year-to-date net interest margin to
2.52 percent for September 2004 from 2.62 percent in
2003. The current interest rate environment and strong
competition in the lending markets are likely to continue placing pressure on the net interest margin. Consolidation continues to affect the structure of the FCS.
In January 1995, there were nine banks and 232 associations; by September 2004, there were five banks and
97 associations.
The FCSIC ensures the timely payment of principal
and interest on FCS obligations. FCSIC manages the
Insurance Fund which supplements the System’s capital and supports the joint and several liability of the
System banks. On September 30, 2004 the Insurance
Fund’s net assets totaled $1.9 billion, of which $40 million was allocated to the Allocated Insurance Reserve
Accounts (AIRAs) held for the System banks and the
Financial Assistance Corporation’s stockholders. Not including the AIRAs, the Insurance Fund was at 2.01
percent of adjusted insured debt obligations of the System banks, slightly above the statutory minimum of
2 percent.
Improvement in the FCS’s financial condition is also
reflected in the examinations by the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), its regulator. Each of the System
institutions is rated under the FCA Financial Institution Rating System (FIRS) for capital, asset quality,
management, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity. At the
beginning of 1995, 197 institutions carried the best
FIRS ratings of 1 or 2, 36 were rated 3, one institution
was rated 4, no institutions were rated 5, and 26 institutions were under enforcement action. In September
2004, all 102 banks and associations had ratings of
1 or 2, and no institution was under an enforcement
action.
Over the past 12 months, the System’s loans outstanding have grown by $3.6 billion, or 3.9 percent,
while over the past five years they have grown $25.2
billion, or 36.2 percent. The volume of lending secured
by farmland increased 51.5 percent, while farm-operating loans have increased 34.7 percent since 1999. Agricultural producers represented the largest borrower
group, with $76.9 billion including loans to rural homeowners and leases, or 81.1 percent of the dollar amount
of loans outstanding. International loans (export financing) represent 3.0 percent of the System’s loan portfolio.
Loans to young, beginning, and small farmers and
ranchers represented 12.9, 18.7, and 31.8 percent, respectively, of the total dollar volume outstanding in
2003, which is slightly higher than in 2002. These percentages cannot be summed given significant overlap
in these categories. Providing credit and related services to young, beginning, and small farmers and ranch-

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

ers is a legislated mandate and a high priority for the
System.
The System, while continuing to record strong earnings and capital growth, remains exposed to a variety
of risks, including concentration risk, possible changes
to government programs, the volatility of agricultural
exports and commodity prices, animal and plant diseases, and concerns about future off-farm employment
prospects, given the trends in job outsourcing and global competition.
Farmer Mac
Farmer Mac was established in 1987 to facilitate a
secondary market for farm real estate and rural housing loans. Since the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987,
there have been several amendments to Farmer Mac’s
chartering statute. Perhaps the most significant amending legislation for Farmer Mac was the Farm Credit
System Reform Act of 1996 that transformed Farmer
Mac from a guarantor of securities backed by loan pools
into a direct purchaser of mortgages, enabling it to
form pools to securitize. The 1996 Act increased Farmer
Mac’s ability to provide liquidity to agricultural mortgage lenders. Since the passage of the 1996 Act, Farmer
Mac’s program activities and business have increased
significantly.
Farmer Mac continues to meet core capital and regulatory risk-based capital requirements. Farmer Mac’s
total program activity (loans purchased and guaranteed, and AgVantage bonds purchased) as of September
30, 2004, totaled $5.5 billion. That volume represents
1.8 percent reduction from program activity at September 30, 2003. Of total program activity, $2.2 billion
were on-balance sheet loans and agricultural mortgagebacked securities and $3.3 billion were off-balance sheet
obligations. Total assets were $3.8 billion at the close
of the calendar third quarter, with non-program investments accounting for $1.4 billion of those assets. Farmer Mac’s net income to common stockholders for the
first three quarters of 2004 was $18.4 million, a decrease of $1.74 million, or 8.7 percent from the same
period in 2003.
International Credit Programs
Seven Federal agencies—the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Department of Defense, the Department of State, the Department of the Treasury,
the Agency for International Development (USAID), the
Export-Import Bank, and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC)—provide direct loans, loan
guarantees, and insurance to a variety of foreign private and sovereign borrowers. These programs are intended to level the playing field for U.S. exporters, deliver robust support for U.S. manufactured goods, stabilize international financial markets, and promote sustainable development.
Leveling the Playing Field
Federal export credit programs counter subsidies that
foreign governments, largely in Europe and Japan, provide their exporters, usually through export credit agen-

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

cies (ECAs). The U.S. Government has worked since
the 1970’s to constrain official credit support through
a multilateral agreement in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This
agreement has significantly constrained direct interest
rate subsidies and tied-aid grants. Further negotiations
resulted in a multilateral agreement that standardized
the fees for sovereign lending across all ECAs beginning
in April 1999. Fees for non-sovereign lending, however,
continue to vary widely across ECAs and markets,
thereby providing implicit subsidies.
The Export-Import Bank attempts to strategically
‘‘level the playing field’’ and to fill gaps in the availability of private export credit. The Export-Import Bank
provides export credits, in the form of direct loans or
loan guarantees, to U.S. exporters who meet basic eligibility criteria and who request the Bank’s assistance.
USDA’s ‘‘GSM’’ programs similarly help to level the
playing field. Like programs of other agricultural exporting nations, GSM programs guarantee payment
from countries and entities that want to import U.S.
agricultural products but cannot easily obtain credit.
The U.S. has been negotiating in the OECD the terms
of agricultural export financing, the outcome of which
could affect the GSM programs.
Stabilizing International Financial Markets
In today’s global economy, the health and prosperity
of the American economy depend importantly on the
stability of the global financial system and the economic
health of our major trading partners. The United States
can contribute to orderly exchange arrangements and
a stable system of exchange rates by providing resources on a multilateral basis through the IMF (discussed in other sections of the Budget), and through
financial support provided by the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF).
The ESF may provide ‘‘bridge loans’’ to other countries in times of short-term liquidity problems and financial crises. In the past, ‘‘bridge loans’’ from ESF
provided dollars to a country over a short period before
the disbursement of an IMF loan to the country. Also,
a package of up to $20 billion of medium-term ESF
financial support was made available to Mexico during
its crisis in 1995. Such support was essential in helping
to stabilize Mexican and global financial markets. Mexico paid back its borrowings under this package ahead
of schedule in 1997, and the United States earned almost $600 million more in interest than it would have
without the lending. There was zero subsidy cost for
the United States as defined under credit reform, as
the medium-term credit carried interest rates reflecting
an appropriate country risk premium.
The United States also expressed a willingness to
provide ESF support in response to the financial crises
affecting some countries such as South Korea in 1997
and Brazil in 1998. It did not prove necessary to provide an ESF credit facility for Korea, but the United
States agreed to guarantee through the ESF up to $5
billion of a $13.2 billion Bank for International Settle-

101
ments (BIS) credit facility for Brazil. In the event, the
ESF guaranteed $3.3 billion in BIS credits to Brazil
and earned $140.3 million in commissions. Such support helped to provide the international confidence
needed by these countries to begin the stabilization
process.
Using Credit to Promote Sustainable Development
Credit is an important tool in U.S. bilateral assistance to promote sustainable development. USAID’s Development Credit Authority (DCA) allows USAID to use
a variety of credit tools to support its development activities abroad. This unit encompasses newer DCA activities, such as municipal bond guarantees for local
governments in developing countries, as well as
USAID’s traditional microenterprise and urban environmental credit programs. DCA provides non-sovereign
loans and loan guarantees in targeted cases where credit serves more effectively than traditional grant mechanisms to achieve sustainable development. DCA is intended to mobilize host country private capital to finance sustainable development in line with USAID’s
strategic objectives. Through the use of partial loan
guarantees and risk sharing with the private sector,
DCA stimulates private-sector lending for financially
viable development projects, thereby leveraging hostcountry capital and strengthening sub-national capital
markets in the developing world. While there is clear
demand for DCA’s facilities in some emerging economies, the utilization rate for these facilities is still very
low.
OPIC also supports a mix of development, employment, and export goals by promoting U.S. direct investment in developing countries. OPIC pursues these goals
through political risk insurance, direct loans, and guarantee products, which provide finance, as well as associated skills and technology transfers. These programs
are intended to create more efficient financial markets,
eventually encouraging the private sector to supplant
OPIC finance in developing countries. OPIC has also
created a number of investment funds that provide equity to local companies with strong development potential.
Ongoing Coordination
International credit programs are coordinated
through two groups to ensure consistency in policy design and credit implementation. The Trade Promotion
Coordinating Committee (TPCC) works within the Administration to develop a National Export Strategy to
make the delivery of trade promotion support more effective and convenient for U.S. exporters.
The Interagency Country Risk Assessment System
(ICRAS) standardizes the way in which agencies budget
for the cost associated with the risk of international
lending. The cost of lending by the agencies is governed
by proprietary U.S. government ratings, which correspond to a set of default estimates over a given maturity. The methodology establishes assumptions about
default risks in international lending using averages

102

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

of international sovereign bond market data. The
strength of this method is its link to the market and
an annual update that adjusts the default estimates
to reflect the most recent risks observed in the market.
For 2006, OMB updated the default estimates using
the default estimate methodology introduced in FY
2003 and the most recent market data. The 2003 default estimate methodology implemented a significant
revision that uses more sophisticated financial analyses
and comprehensive market data, and better isolates the
expected cost of default implicit in interest rates
charged by private investors to sovereign borrowers.
All else being equal, this change expands the level of
international lending an agency can support with a
given appropriation. For example, the Export-Import
Bank will be able to provide generally higher lending
levels using lower appropriations in 2006.
Adapting to Changing Market Conditions
Overall, officially supported finance and transfers account for a tiny fraction of international capital flows.
Furthermore, the private sector is continuously adapting its size and role in emerging markets finance to
IV.

changing market conditions. In response, the Administration is working to adapt international lending at
Export-Import Bank and OPIC to dynamic private sector finance. The Export-Import Bank, for example, is
developing a sharper focus on lending that would otherwise not occur without Federal assistance. Measures
under development include reducing risks, collecting
fees from program users, and improving the focus on
exporters who truly cannot access private export finance.
OPIC in the past has focused relatively narrowly on
providing financing and insurance services to large U.S.
companies investing abroad. As a result, OPIC did not
devote significant resources to its mission of promoting
development through mobilizing private capital. In
2003, OPIC implemented new development performance
measures and goals that reflect the mandate to revitalize its core development mission.
These changes at the Export-Import Bank and at
OPIC will place more emphasis on correcting market
imperfections as the private sector’s ability to bear
emerging market risks becomes larger, more sophisticated, and more efficient.

INSURANCE PROGRAMS

Deposit Insurance

Current Industry and Insurance Fund Conditions

Federal deposit insurance promotes stability in the
U.S. financial system. Prior to the establishment of
Federal deposit insurance, failures of some depository
institutions often caused depositors to lose confidence
in the banking system and rush to withdraw deposits.
Such sudden withdrawals caused serious disruption to
the economy. In 1933, in the midst of the Depression,
the system of Federal deposit insurance was established
to protect small depositors and prevent bank failures
from causing widespread disruption in financial markets. The federal deposit insurance system came under
serious strain in the late 1980s and early 1990s when
over 2,500 banks and thrifts failed. The Federal Government responded with a series of reforms designed
to improve the safety and soundness of the banking
system. These reforms, combined with more favorable
economic conditions, helped to restore the health of depository institutions and the deposit insurance system.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
insures deposits in banks and savings associations
(thrifts) through separate insurance funds: the Bank
Insurance Fund (BIF) and the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) administers the insurance fund
for most credit unions (certain credit unions are privately insured and not covered by the fund). FDIC and
NCUA insure deposits up to $100,000 per account.
FDIC insures $3.6 trillion of deposits at 7,660 commercial banks and 1,365 savings institutions. NCUA insures about 9,113 credit unions with $495 billion in
insured shares.

The bank industry continues to earn record profits.
In the quarter ending September 30, 2004, banks reported record-high earnings for the sixth time in the
last seven quarters. In fiscal year 2004, industry net
income totaled $122 billion, an increase of 7 percent
over fiscal year 2003. The quality of loans continues
to improve as net charge-offs fell to a four-year low.
Despite the improving trends, some risks remain. Rising interest rates, for example, might cause stresses
in certain real-estate markets and strains on banks
in some regions.
Only four BIF members and one SAIF member with
a combined $175 million dollars in assets failed during
fiscal year 2004. In comparison, in the last five years,
assets associated with BIF failures have averaged $857
million per year, while failures associated with SAIF
averaged $455 million. At the height of the banking
crisis in 1989, failed assets rose to over $150 billion
in one year. The FDIC currently classifies 95 institutions with $25 billion in assets as ‘‘problem institutions,’’ compared to 116 institutions with $30 billion
in assets a year ago.
In fiscal year 2004, the reserve ratio (ratio of insurance reserves to insured deposits) of BIF stayed above
the 1.25-percent statutory target. As of September 30,
2004, BIF had estimated reserves of $34 billion, or 1.32
percent of insured deposits. Factors that helped BIF
stay above the statutory target in fiscal year 2004 include fewer bank failures, slow growth of insured deposits, and increases in unrealized gains on securities
available for sale. The SAIF reserve ratio also remained
above the designated reserve ratio throughout the year.

103

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

As of September 30, 2004, SAIF had reserves of $12.5
billion, or 1.33 percent of insured deposits. Through
June 30, 2005, the FDIC will continue to maintain deposit insurance premiums in a range from zero for the
healthiest institutions to 27 cents per $100 of assessable deposits for the riskiest institutions. In May, the
FDIC will set assessment rates for July through December of this year. Due to the strong financial condition
of the industry and the insurance funds, less than 10
percent of banks and thrifts paid insurance premiums
in 2004.
During 2004, 22 Federally insured credit unions with
$120 million in assets failed (including assisted mergers). In comparison, in 2003, 8 Federally insured credit
unions with $25 million in assets failed. The National
Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) ended
fiscal year 2004 with assets of $6.3 billion and an equity ratio of 1.28 percent, below the NCUA-set target
ratio of 1.30 percent. Each insured credit union is required to deposit and maintain an amount equal to
1 percent of its member share accounts in the fund.
Premiums were waived during 2004 because the ratio
stayed above 1.25 percent. As the Fund’s equity ratio
did not exceed 1.30 percent, NCUA did not provide
a dividend to credit unions in fiscal year 2004.
The Federal banking regulators (the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and
the Federal Reserve) are planning a rulemaking that
would implement the new Basel Capital Accord (Basel
II). The original Basel Capital Accord is an international agreement establishing a uniform capital
standard across nations. It adopted a risk-based capital
requirement that applies differing risk weights to a
few broad categories of assets. Basel II proposes several
ways to improve the risk-based capital requirement,
including refining risk categories and applying sophisticated models calculating the risk of various assets. U.S.
regulators are considering implementing the modelbased capital requirement for the largest banks (about
20) that have complex financial structures and expertise to apply sophisticated models. The new capital requirement would be a major change because those
banks hold the overwhelming majority of U.S. banking
assets.
As a result of consolidation, fewer large banks control
an increasingly substantial share of banking assets.
Thus, the failure of even one of these large institutions
could strain the insurance fund. Banks are increasingly
using sophisticated financial instruments such as assetbacked securities and financial derivatives, which could
have unforeseen effects on risk levels. Whether or not
these new instruments add to risk, they do complicate
the work of regulators who must gauge each institution’s financial health and the potential for deposit insurance losses that a troubled institution may represent.

Federal Deposit Insurance Reform
While the deposit insurance system is in good condition, the Administration supports reforms to make improvements in the operation and fairness of the deposit
insurance system for banks and thrifts. In 2003, the
Treasury Department and federal banking regulatory
agencies submitted to Congress a proposal that would
accomplish this objective. Specifically, the proposal
would merge the BIF and the SAIF. A single merged
fund would be stronger and better diversified than either fund alone and would prevent the possibility that
institutions posing similar risks would again pay significantly different premiums for the same product.
Under the current system, the FDIC is required to
maintain a ratio of insurance fund reserves to total
insured deposits of 1.25 percent. If insurance fund reserves fall below the 1.25 ratio, the FDIC must charge
either sufficient premiums to restore the reserve ratio
to 1.25 percent within one year, or no less than 23
basis points if the reserve ratio remains below 1.25
percent for more than one year. The Administration’s
proposal would give the FDIC authority to adjust the
ratio periodically within prescribed upper and lower
bounds and greater discretion in determining how
quickly it restores the ratio to target levels. This flexibility would help reduce potential pro-cyclical effects
by stabilizing industry costs over time and avoiding
sharp premium increases when the economy may be
under stress. Finally, the FDIC has been prohibited
since 1996 from charging premiums to ‘‘well-capitalized’’ and well-run institutions as long as insurance
fund reserves equal or exceed 1.25 percent of insured
deposits. Therefore, less than 10 percent of banks and
thrifts pay insurance premiums, allowing a large number of financial institutions to increase their insured
deposits rapidly without any contribution to the insurance fund. The Administration proposal would repeal
this prohibition to ensure that institutions with rapidly
increasing insured deposits or greater risks appropriately compensate the insurance fund.
Pension Guarantees
The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC)
insures most defined-benefit pension plans sponsored
by private employers. PBGC pays the benefits guaranteed by law when a company with an underfunded pension plan becomes insolvent. PBGC’s exposure to claims
relates to the underfunding of pension plans, that is,
to any amount by which vested future benefits exceed
plan assets. In the near term, its loss exposure results
from financially distressed firms with underfunded
plans. In the longer term, additional loss exposure results from the possibility that currently healthy firms
become distressed and currently well-funded plans become underfunded due to inadequate contributions or
poor investment results.
PBGC monitors troubled companies with underfunded plans and acts, in bankruptcies, to protect its
beneficiaries and the future of the program. Such pro-

104
tections include, where necessary, initiating plan termination. Under its Early Warning Program, PBGC negotiates settlements with companies that reduce losses
in the event the plan terminates.
PBGC’s single-employer program suffered record annual losses from underfunded plan terminations in
2001 through 2004. As a result of these record losses,
the program’s deficit at FY 2004 year-end stood at
$23.3 billion, compared to $11.2 billion a year earlier
and a $9.7 billion surplus at FY 2000 year-end. Large
underfunded terminations include: in FY 2002, LTV,
a steel company, with a claim of nearly $2 billion,
which was PBGC’s largest to date; in FY 2003, Bethlehem Steel, with a claim of about $3.6 billion, National
Steel, and US Airways’ Pilots Plan; and in FY 2004,
Kaiser Aluminum’s Salaried Plan, Pillowtex, and
Weirton Steel. More important in FY 2004 than claims
for completed terminations was the increase in claims
for ‘‘probable’’ terminations to $16.9 billion from $5.2
billion in FY 2003.
Additional risk and exposure may remain for the future because of economic uncertainties and significant
underfunding in single-employer pension plans, which
exceed an estimated $450 billion at fiscal year-end,
compared to $350 billion at the end of FY 2003 and
$50 billion at the end of December 2000. PBGC’s exposure to ‘‘reasonably possible’’ terminations, the amount
of unfunded vested benefits in pension plans sponsored
by companies at greater risk of default, stood at $96
billion at the end of December 2003, up from $82 billion
a year earlier.
The smaller multiemployer program guarantees pension benefits of certain unionized plans offered by several employers in an industry. It ended 2003 with its
first deficit in over 20 years, of about $261 million.
The deficit fell to $236 million in 2004. However, estimated underfunding in multiemployer plans approximated $150 billion at year-end, up from over $100 billion at the end of FY 2003.
With assets of $39 billion, the agency can meet its
obligations for a number of years into the future, but,
with $62 billion of liabilities in the single-employer program, it is clear that the financial integrity of the federal pension insurance program is at risk.
Looking to the long term, to avoid benefit reductions,
strengthen PBGC, and help stabilize the defined-benefit
pension system, the 2006 Budget proposes legislative
reforms to:
• Require employers to fully fund their plans by
making up their funding shortfall over a reasonable period of time and give companies added
flexibility to contribute more in good economic
times.
• Require that funding be based on a more accurate
measure of liabilities and establish appropriate
funding targets based on a plan’s risk of termination.
• Update the variable-rate premium to reflect the
new funding targets and provide for the PBGC
Board to reexamine it periodically to cover the

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

cost of expected claims and to improve PBGC’s
financial position; and adjust the flat-rate premium to reflect the growth in worker wages.
• Require employers to forego benefit increases if
the sponsor is financially weak or has a significantly underfunded pension plan.
• Require plans to provide timely information on
the true financial health of pension plans to workers and make such information publicly available
to other stakeholders.
The Administration’s comprehensive reforms will
strengthen funding for workers’ defined-benefit pensions; provide more accurate information about pension
liabilities and plan underfunding; and ensure PBGC’s
continued ability to safeguard pension benefits for 44
million Americans.
Disaster Insurance
Flood Insurance
The Federal Government provides flood insurance
through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP),
which is administered by the Emergency Preparedness
and Response Directorate of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Flood insurance is available to
homeowners and businesses in communities that have
adopted and enforced appropriate flood plain management measures. Coverage is limited to buildings and
their contents. By 2005, the program is projected to
have approximately 4.9 million policies from more than
19,000 communities with $828 billion of insurance in
force.
Prior to the creation of the program in 1968, many
factors made it cost prohibitive for private insurance
companies alone to make affordable flood insurance
available. In response, the NFIP was established to
make insurance coverage widely available. The NFIP
requires building standards and other mitigation efforts
to reduce losses, and operates a flood hazard mapping
program to quantify the geographic risk of flooding.
These efforts have made substantial progress.
The number of policies in the program has grown
significantly over time. The number of enrolled policies
grew from 2.4 to 4.3 million between 1990 and 2002,
and by about 85,000 policies in 2004, bringing the policy total to 4.5 million. DHS is using three strategies
to increase the number of flood insurance policies in
force: lender compliance, program simplification, and
expanded marketing. DHS is educating financial regulators about the mandatory flood insurance requirement
for properties that are located in flood plains and have
mortgages from federally regulated lenders. The NFIP
also has a multi-pronged strategy for reducing future
flood damage. The NFIP offers mitigation insurance to
allow flood victims to rebuild to code, thereby reducing
future flood damage costs. Further, through the Community Rating System, DHS adjusts premium rates to
encourage community and State mitigation activities
beyond those required by the NFIP.

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

Despite these efforts, the program faces financial
challenges. The program’s financing account, which is
a cash fund, has sometimes had expenses greater than
its revenue, preventing it from building sufficient longterm reserves. This is mostly because a large portion
of the policyholders pay subsidized premiums. DHS
charges subsidized premiums for properties built before
a community adopted the NFIP building standards.
Properties built subsequently are charged actuarially
fair rates. The creators of the NFIP assumed that eventually the NFIP would become self-sustaining as older
properties left the program. The share of subsidized
properties in the program has fallen, but remains substantial; it was 70 percent in 1978 and is 28 percent
today.
Until the mid-1980s, Congress appropriated funds periodically to support subsidized premiums. However,
the program has not received appropriations since 1986.
During the 1990s, FEMA, which is now part of DHS,
relied on Treasury borrowing to help finance its loss
expenses (the NFIP may borrow up to $1.5 billion).
As of October 31, 2002, the NFIP had repaid all of
its outstanding debt.
Although the program is generally well run, it receives some criticism about the low participation rate
and the inclusion of subsidized properties, especially
those that are repetitively flooded. The program has
identified approximately 11,000 properties for mitigation action. To the extent they are available; funds will
come from the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, the
Predisaster Mitigation Grant Program, and the Flood
Mitigation Grant Program. The Flood Insurance Reform
Act of 2004 defines the criteria that qualify these repetitively-damaged properties for special mitigation. The
legislation also extended the NFIP’s authority through
September 30, 2008. An additional problem is the fairly
low participation rate. Currently, less than half of the
eligible properties in identified flood plains participate
in this program. In comparison, the participation rate
for private wind and hurricane insurance is nearly 90
percent in at-risk areas. Given that flood damage
causes roughly $6 billion in property damage annually,
DHS is in the process of evaluating its incentive structure to attract more participation in the program, while
not encouraging misuse of the program.
Crop Insurance
Subsidized Federal crop insurance administered by
USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) plays an important role in assisting farmers to manage yield and
revenue shortfalls due to bad weather or other natural
disasters. RMA continues to evaluate and, provide new
products so that the Government can further reduce
the need for ad-hoc disaster assistance payments to
the agriculture community in bad years.
The USDA crop insurance program is a cooperative
effort between the Federal Government and the private
insurance industry. Private insurance companies sell
and service crop insurance policies. These companies
rely on reinsurance provided by the Federal Govern-

105
ment and also by the commercial reinsurance market
to manage their individual risk portfolio. The Federal
Government reimburses private companies for the administrative expenses associated with providing crop insurance and reinsures the private companies for excess
insurance losses on all policies. The Federal Government also subsidizes premiums for farmers. The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 (ARPA) increased
premium subsidy levels to encourage farmers to purchase higher and more effective levels of coverage.
RMA renegotiated the Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA) in 2004. The SRA contains the operational
and financial risk sharing terms between the Federal
Government and the private companies. The ARPA allowed these terms to be renegotiated once between the
2001 and 2005 reinsurance years. RMA utilized this
opportunity to strengthen the document to address such
issues as company oversight and quality control. As
a result of these negotiations, company administrative
expense reimbursements were reduced by approximately 3 percent, and a 5 percent net book quota share
was introduced to better balance profit potential between the companies and the Federal Government. The
new SRA is expected to generate annual program cost
savings of approximately $36 million.
In addition to these changes, the 2006 Budget includes a legislative proposal that would require any
farmer that receives a Federal commodity payment for
his/her crop to buy crop insurance at a minimum coverage level of 50/100. This proposal is intended to ensure farmers have adequate protection in the event of
a natural disaster without resorting to ad hoc disaster
assistance. Additionally, the Administration’s proposal
will lower the imputed premium on Catastrophic Crop
Insurance (CAT) by 25 percent and charge an administrative fee on CAT equal to the greater of $100 or
25 percent of the (restated) imputed CAT premium,
subject to a maximum fee of $5,000. The proposal will
also reduce premium subsidies by 5 percentage points
on policies with a coverage level of 70 percent or below
(75 percent for Group Risk Protection (GRP)) and by
2 percentage point on policies with a coverage level
of 75 percent or above (80 percent for GRP). Plus the
proposal reduces the A&O reimbursement on all buyup coverage by 2 percentage points and increases the
net book quota share to 22 percent, but provides a
ceding commision to the companies of 2 percent. These
changes are expected to be in effect in 2007 and will
save $140 million a year.
There are various types of insurance programs. The
most basic type of coverage is CAT, which compensates
the farmer for losses in excess of 50 percent of the
individual’s average yield at 55 percent of the expected
market price. The CAT premium is entirely subsidized,
and farmers pay only an administrative fee. Commercial insurance companies deliver the product to the producer in all states. Additional coverage is available to
producers who wish to insure crops above the CAT
coverage level. Premium rates for additional coverage
depend on the level of coverage selected and vary from

106

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

crop to crop and county to county. The additional levels
of insurance coverage are more attractive to farmers
due to availability of optional units, other policy provisions not available with CAT coverage, and the ability
to obtain a level of protection that permits them to
use crop insurance as loan collateral and to achieve
greater financial security. Private companies sell and
service the catastrophic portion of the crop insurance
program, and also provide higher levels of coverage,
which are also federally subsidized. Approximately 82
percent of eligible acres participated in one or more
crop insurance programs in 2004.
For producers purchasing the additional levels of insurance, there are a wide range of yield- and revenuebased insurance products available through the Federal
crop insurance program. Revenue insurance programs
protect against loss of revenue stemming from low
prices, poor yields, or a combination of both. These programs extend traditional multi-peril crop insurance protection by adding price variability to production history.
Indemnities are due when any combination of yield and
price results in revenue that is less than the revenue
guarantee. The price component common to these plans
uses the commodity futures market for price discovery.
Revenue products have gained wide acceptance among
producers and have played an integral role in providing
more effective risk management options for the nation’s
agricultural producers. In crop year 2004, these revenue
products accounted for over 52 percent of all policies
earning premium, 59 percent of net insured acres, and
55 percent of total program liability.
USDA also continues to expand coverage. In 2004,
a sugar beet stage removal pilot program was introduced. In addition, approval was given to a pilot program of crop insurance for Silage Sorghum in two
states and to make Adjusted Gross Revenue-Lite available in five additional states, both effective for the 2005
crop year. USDA also expanded the availability of the
Livestock Risk Protection plan of insurance to additional states and for additional types of livestock. Further, RMA has issued 4 contracts for development of
new risk management tools for pasture, rangeland and
forage. ARPA directed FCIC to establish the development of a pasture, rangeland and forage program as
one of its highest research and development priorities.
RMA continues to pursue a number of avenues to increase program participation among underserved states
and commodities.
For more information and additional crop insurance
program details, please reference RMA’s web site:
(www.rma.usda.gov).
Insurance against Security-Related Risks
The Federal Government offers terrorism risk insurance and Airline War Risk Insurance on a temporary
basis, and has created the smallpox injury compensation program. After the September 11 attacks, private
insurers became reluctant to insure against securityrelated risks such as terrorism and war. Those events
are so uncertain in terms of both the frequency of occur-

rence and the magnitude of potential loss that private
insurers have difficulty estimating the expected loss.
Furthermore, terrorism can produce a large loss that
could wipe out private insurers’ capital. These uncertainties make the private sector reluctant to provide
security-related insurance. Thus, it is necessary for the
smooth functioning of our economy that the Federal
Government insure against some security-related risks
until the private sector learns enough to be comfortable
about estimating those risks.
Terrorism Risk Insurance
On November 26, 2002, President Bush signed into
law the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002. The
Act was designed to address disruptions in economic
activity caused by the withdrawal of many insurance
companies from the marketplace for terrorism risk insurance in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001. Their withdrawal in the face of
great uncertainty as to their risk exposure to future
terrorist attacks led to a moratorium in construction
projects, increased business costs for the insurance that
was available, and substantial shifting of risk from reinsurers to primary insurers, and from insurers to policyholders (e.g., investors, businesses, and property
owners). Ultimately, these costs were borne by American workers and communities through decreased development and economic activity.
The Act established a temporary Federal program
that provides for a system of shared public and private
compensation for insured commercial property and casualty losses arising from acts of terrorism. The program
is administered by the Treasury Department and is
scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2005.
Under the Act, insurance companies included under
the program must make available to their policyholders
during the first two years of the program coverage for
losses from acts of terrorism (as defined by the Act),
and Treasury was required to determine whether to
extend this requirement into the third and final year
of the program. On June 18, 2004, the Secretary of
the Treasury announced his decision to extend the
‘‘make available’’ requirement through the third and
final year. The Act also requires as a condition for
Federal payment that insurance companies disclose to
policyholders the premium charged for terrorism risk
insurance and the Federal share of compensation under
the program.
In the event of a terrorist attack on private businesses and others covered by this program, insurance
companies will cover 100 percent of the insured losses
up to each insurance company’s deductible as specified
in the Act. Insured losses above that amount would
then be shared between the insurance company and
the Treasury, with Treasury covering 90 percent of the
losses above the insurance company’s deductible. However, neither the Treasury nor any insurer would be
liable for any amount exceeding the statutory annual
cap of $100 billion in aggregate insured losses. At that
point, the Act explains that Congress will determine

7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE

the procedures and source of any further payments.
The Act also provides authority for the Treasury to
recoup Federal payments via surcharges on policyholders. Certain recoupment is mandatory, based on
insurance marketplace aggregate annual retention
amounts specified in the enabling statute. In other circumstances, the Act authorizes optional recoupment.
Treasury has created a separate Terrorism Risk Insurance Program office to implement the Act, which
has included setting up an infrastructure to handle potential claims under the Act. In order to be ready to
make payments under the Act, Treasury has: 1) finalized all of the regulations necessary for the submission
and payment of potential claims under the Act; 2) contracted with a claims management contractor and an
auditor to assist with the processing and verification
of potential claims; and 3) established a web-based
claims facility. The Act also requires Treasury to conduct a study on the effectiveness of the program and
to report the results to the Congress by June 30, 2005.
Treasury has been conducting a comprehensive survey
of insurers, reinsurers, and policyholders as part of that
study.
Airline War Risk Insurance
After the September 11, 2001 attacks, private insurers cancelled third-party liability war risk coverage for
airlines and dramatically increased the cost of other
war risk insurance. In response, the Department of
Transportation (DOT) provided a short-term reimbursement to airlines for the increased cost of aviation hull
and passenger liability war risk insurance under the
authority provided in P.L. 107–42. Due to the extended
disruption in the marketplace, DOT also offered airlines
third-party liability war risk insurance coverage at subsidized rates to replace coverage initially withdrawn
by private insurers. Under Presidential Determination
No. 01–29, the President delegated the authority to
extend the duration of aviation insurance to the Secretary of Transportation. Starting in 2001, insurance
coverage was initially provided in 60-day increments,
but Presidential Determination Nos. 2004–9 and
2005–15 subsequently extended the allowable period of
insurance up to one year.
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 included airline
war risk insurance legislation. This law mandated an
extended term for third-party war risk coverage and
expanded the scope of coverage to include war risk hull,
passenger and crew, and property liability insurance.
Under the law, the Secretary of Transportation was
directed to extend insurance policies until August 31,

107
2003. In addition, the law also limited the total premium for the three types of insurance to twice the
premium rate charged for the third-party liability insurance as of June 19, 2002. The 2003 Department
of Defense supplemental appropriation (P.L. 108–11),
the Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (P.L.
108–176, Vision 100), and the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 (P.L. 108–447) ultimately extended
the mandatory provision of insurance through August
31, 2005. Consequently, in December 2004, the President issued Presidential Determination 2005–15, authorizing the continued provision of insurance now in
force through August 31, 2005, and the DOT issued
policies to conform to that date. The basic authority
of the insurance program extends through March 30,
2008
Currently 75 air carriers are insured by DOT. Coverage for individual carriers ranges from $80 million
to $4 billion per carrier with the median insurance
coverage at approximately $1.8 billion per occurrence.
Premiums collected by the Government are deposited
into the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund. In 2004,
the fund collected approximately $180 million in premiums for insurance provided by DOT. In 2005, it is
anticipated that $109 million in premiums will be collected by DOT for the provision of insurance. At the
end of 2004, the balance of the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund available for future claim payments was
$401 million. The Federal Government would pay any
claims by the airlines that exceed the balance in the
aviation insurance revolving fund.
Smallpox Injury Compensation
The Administration has taken steps to insure the
immediate mobilization of emergency response personnel in the event of a smallpox attack. The Smallpox
Injury Compensation Program, set up under the Smallpox Emergency Personnel Protection Act of 2003, encourages vaccination of designated emergency personnel
by providing benefits and/or compensation to certain
persons harmed as a direct result of receiving smallpox
countermeasures, including the smallpox vaccine. Only
persons receiving the smallpox vaccine under the Department of Health and Human Services Declaration
Regarding the Administration of Smallpox Countermeasures are eligible for benefits. Also, the Homeland
Security Act of 2002 provided medical liability protection to doctors, drug manufacturers, and hospitals that
administer smallpox vaccine and other countermeasures
during an emergency declaration.

AID TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS 1

State and local governments have a vital constitutional responsibility to provide government services.
They have the major role in providing domestic public
services, such as public education, law enforcement,
roads, water supply, and sewage treatment. The Federal Government contributes to that role by promoting
a healthy economy. It also provides grants, loans, and
tax subsidies to State and local governments.
Federal grants help State and local governments finance programs covering most areas of domestic public
spending, including income support, infrastructure, education, and social services. Federal grant outlays were
$406.3 billion in 2004 and are estimated to be $425.8
billion in 2005 and $435.7 billion in 2006.
Grant outlays to State and local governments for individuals, such as Medicaid payments, are estimated
to be 65 percent of total grants in 2006; grant outlays
for physical capital investment, 15 percent; and grant
outlays for all other purposes, largely education, training, and social services, 20 percent.
Some tax expenditures also constitute Federal aid
to State and local governments. Tax expenditures stem
from special exclusions, exemptions, deductions, credits,
deferrals, or tax rates in the Federal tax laws.
The deductibility of State and local personal income
and property taxes from gross income for Federal income tax purposes and the exclusion of interest on
State and local public purpose bonds from Federal taxation comprise the two largest tax expenditures benefiting State and local governments. These provisions,
on an outlay equivalent basis, are estimated to be $98.5
billion in 2006. Chapter 19, ‘‘Tax Expenditures,’’ of this
volume provides a detailed discussion of the measurement and definition of tax expenditures and a complete
list of the estimated costs of specific tax expenditures.
As discussed in that chapter, there are generally inter-

actions among tax expenditure provisions, so that the
total cost estimates only approximate the aggregate effect of these provisions. Tax expenditures that especially aid State and local governments are displayed
separately at the end of Table 19–5 in that chapter,
and also at the ends of Tables 19–1 and 19–2.
This chapter also includes information on the performance of selected grant programs based on the Program Assessment Rating Tool. An Appendix to this
chapter includes State-by-State estimates of major
grant programs.

almost 60 percent of total grant outlays.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FEDERAL AID PROGRAM
Several proposals in this budget affect Federal aid
to State and local governments and the important relationships between the levels of government. Through
the use of grants, the Federal Government shares with
State and local governments the cost and, ultimately,
the benefits of a better educated, healthier, and safer
citizenry. The Administration intends to work with
State and local governments to make the Federal system more efficient and effective and to improve the
design, administration, and financial management of
Federal grant programs.

In programs where the Federal Government and
State and local governments partner in the provision
of services, State and local government involvement is
critical to improving the performance of Federal programs. To date, the Administration has rated the effectiveness of about three fifths of all Federal programs
using the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART). On
average, grant programs received lower ratings than
other types of programs, which suggests the need for
strengthening partnerships and accountability for
achieving program outcomes.

1 Federal aid to State and local governments is defined as the provision of resources
by the Federal Government to support a State or local program of governmental service

to the public. The three primary forms of aid are grants, loan subsidies, and tax expenditures.

123

124
In support of the Administration’s initiative to identify and eliminate improper payments, managers of several programs jointly administered by the Federal Government and the States, including Medicaid and the
School Lunch program, are developing methodologies
to estimate the extent of improper payments, identify
the causes and remedy them. The passage of the Improper Payments Information Act (IPIA) of 2002 codified the goals of the President’s initiative to enhance
the accuracy and integrity of Federal payments. The
IPIA, and subsequent OMB implementing guidance, establish a framework for agencies to (i) review every
Federal program, activity, and dollar to assess risk of
significant improper payments; (ii) develop a statistically-valid estimate to measure the extent of improper
payments in risk susceptible Federal programs; (iii) initiate process and internal control improvements to enhance the accuracy and integrity of payments; and (iv)
report and assess progress on an annual basis. In 2004,
all agencies began to develop and implement plans to
comply with these expanded reporting requirements. As
these efforts continue in 2005 and beyond, the Federal
government is strengthening its position to make significant strides in identifying and eliminating improper
payments.
In addition, under the auspices of the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999
(PL 106–107) and the Administration’s Line of Business
Grant Management Initiative, Federal grant making
agencies have continued to work individually and collectively to improve and streamline the efficiency of grant
programs and to achieve the vision of a Governmentwide solution that supports end-to-end grants management activities. The goals are to promote grantee access, customer service, and agency financial and technical stewardship. Particularly, in 2004, the Federal
Government has realized its objectives to:
• Establish a simple, unified ‘‘storefront’’ for all customers to find and apply for grants (called FIND
and APPLY). FIND posted more than 1,500 funding opportunities in 2004 and received more than
200,000 hits per day;
• Establish a single location in the Code of Federal
Regulations (Title 2 CFR) to place all the Government-wide and agency guidance regarding grant
management;
• Create a grants governance committee that will
ensure the continued streamlining effort.
Highlights of grants to State and local governments
are presented below. For additional information on
grants, see Table 8–4 in this chapter, and discussions
in the main budget volume.
Homeland Security
This budget requests $5.6 billion in budget authority
for 2006 for grants to State and local governments in
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
An effective response to a major terrorist incident
or natural disaster depends on adequate preparation.
The Federal response to the hurricanes of 2004 dem-

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

onstrated the value of proactive and aggressive response measures. This Budget continues to build on
these capabilities and supports critical preparedness,
response, and recovery efforts at all levels of government.
In 2004, the Federal Government developed the National Response Plan (NRP), a comprehensive approach
to domestic management of emergencies. DHS also led
the development of a National Incident Management
System (NIMS). Released in July, 2004, NIMS establishes a standard framework for Federal, State, tribal,
and local governments to respond to incidents and
emergencies. The Budget requests $15 million to support the implementation of NIMS through the support
of the NIMS Integration Center at the Department of
Homeland Security.
Education
Grant outlays for elementary, secondary, and vocational education are estimated to be $36.9 billion in
2006.
Leaving no child behind. At the center of the
President’s commitment to education is his promise to
‘‘leave no child behind.’’ When President Bush launched
his No Child Left Behind initiative, he said, ‘‘The Federal role in education is not to serve the system. It
is to serve the children.’’ No Child Left Behind (NCLB)
is making a difference for every child, in every public
school. It is no longer acceptable for any child to slip
through the cracks or fail to receive the challenging
education he or she deserves. Schools are held accountable for ensuring that all children, including those who
are disadvantaged or have a disability, become proficient in reading and math. Parents receive detailed
information about the performance of their schools. Students who attend low-performing schools have the option to attend a better public school or, if their schools
do not improve, to receive tutoring funded by the school
district. The largest program that assists elementary
and secondary education is Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies. This Budget requests funding of
$13.3 billion for this program in 2006.
Strengthening performance and accountability:
reforming special education. On December 3, 2004,
the President signed into law the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA).
The reauthorized IDEA makes several adjustments to
align special education to NCLB’s accountability systems. Together, these landmark laws provide the framework for high hopes and expectations that all students,
including the 6.9 million children with disabilities, can
succeed in school. This law is fully consistent with the
Administration’s principles for IDEA reauthorization,
and with the 2002 recommendations of the President’s
Commission on Excellence in Special Education.
Over the next year, the Administration will provide
guidance and technical assistance to States, schools,
and parents so that they can be partners with the Department of Education in implementing the myriad reg-

8.

ulatory and paperwork changes required by the law,
many of which will take effect in July 2005. The President’s 2006 Budget complements the law and provides
program levels of $12.2 billion for all IDEA programs,
including $83 million for special education research,
studies, and evaluations funded under the Institute for
Education Sciences, and $11.1 billion for IDEA Grants
to States. These increases, along with the law’s local
flexibility provisions, will improve the State and local
special education systems, and produce real benefits
for students served by IDEA.
Training and Employment
Training workers for the jobs of the 21st century.
In April 2004 the President proposed significant reforms to the Department of Labor’s (DOL) job training
programs to double the number of workers trained and
give workers more choice about their training and career paths. This Budget builds on that proposal by:
• Giving Governors more flexibility. The President’s
proposal would merge the four major Department
of Labor (DOL) Federal job training and employment grant programs into a single grant program.
The 2006 Budget requests $3.9 billion in budget
authority for this program. In addition, Governors
would be able to supplement this consolidated
grant with their State’s resources from a ‘‘menu’’
of several other Federal job training and employment programs.
• Eliminating unnecessary overhead. In exchange for
more flexibility, the proposal would place strict
limits on overhead costs. This would free resources
to allow more workers to be trained.
• Giving workers more choice. The President’s proposal would give workers greater control over
their training through the use of personal innovation training accounts.
• Demanding greater accountability. The proposal
would establish increasingly rigorous performance
standards each year, leading to a goal in the tenth
year that States place in employment 100 percent
of the workers trained with grant resources. To
ensure that individuals are placed in high-quality
jobs, States would also be required to show improvements in earnings and job retention. States’
performance would be ranked and published each
year.
These reforms, along with the President’s $250 million Community College job training initiative, will
train 400,000 workers annually—twice as many as are
trained under the current system.
Social Services
Head Start. The Budget provides $6.9 billion in
budget authority for Head Start in 2006, including $45
million to support State implementation of a demonstration authority to promote better coordination of
existing programs, to improve services for families and
children, and to achieve better results with the resources already being used.

Independent living education and training
vouchers. This Budget requests $60 million for the
foster care independent living program to help older
foster care youth transition to adulthood and self-sufficiency after leaving foster care. This program provides
vouchers of up to $5,000 for education or vocational
training to help youth leaving foster care to develop
skills and lead independent and productive lives.
Child welfare program option. This Budget seeks
legislation to introduce an option for all States to
choose an alternative system for foster care that will
better meet the needs of the child welfare population.
Flexible financing will allow States to design programs
with a stronger emphasis on prevention and family support and increased flexibility in services provided and
populations served.
Income Support
Food and nutrition assistance. As part of its diverse array of programs, the United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) delivers programs that help
those in need.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants, and Children, more commonly known
as the WIC program, serves the nutritional needs of
low-income pregnant and post-partum women, infants,
and children up to their fifth birthday. This Budget
provides $5.5 billion in budget authority in 2006 for
WIC services, full funding for all those estimated to
be eligible and seeking services.
On July 30, 2004, President Bush signed the Child
Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act of 2004. This
law makes many important improvements to the National School Lunch Program that affect the 29 million
children participating in the program on an average
school day. The Administration is implementing these
changes, which will increase access to nutrition for vulnerable children, help States and schools fight childhood obesity and improve the integrity of the school
meals programs. Grant outlays for child nutrition programs are estimated to be $12.3 billion in 2006.
Housing assistance. Grant outlays for housing assistance are estimated to be $29.2 billion in 2006.
Ending Chronic Homelessness. The Administration
remains committed to the goal of ending chronic homelessness. Chronically homeless individuals who have
disabling conditions and live on the streets and in shelters for long periods comprise less than 10 percent of
the homeless population, yet they consume over half
of emergency homeless services. Housing this population will free Federal, State, and local emergency resources for families and individuals who need shorterterm assistance.
In 2004, the Federal Collaborative Initiative to End
Chronic Homelessness, through the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the
Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), funded 11 grantees
across the country. Building on the success of this ini-

126
tiative, in 2006, the Samaritan Housing Initiative provides up to $200 million through HUD in new housing
subsidies paired with case management and supportive
services in outlays is the specifically targeted to this
population.
Across the country, 46 States and 170 localities, along
with the private sector, have joined the Federal effort
to move chronically homeless individuals from the
streets to permanent supportive housing, and to prevent additional individuals from becoming chronically
homeless.
The Budget provides more resources than ever for
permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals
who have been on the streets or in shelters for long
periods. The 2006 budget includes $1.4 billion for
Homeless Assistance Grants, $200 million more than
in 2005. Altogether, the Administration requests $4 billion in 2006 for Federal housing and social programs
for the homeless, an 8.5 percent increase.
Housing vouchers. The Housing Choice Voucher program provides two million low-income families with
subsidies to help them afford a decent place to live.
Participants contribute 30 percent of their income towards rent; the Government pays the rest. In the past,
funds have been appropriated for a specific number
of units each year. These funds were then given to
public housing agencies (PHAs) based on the number
of vouchers they were awarded. HUD is concerned that
voucher costs have increased at a rate of more than
double the average increase in the private rental market for the past several years. This rate of increase,
combined with an extremely complex set of laws and
rules that govern the program, has limited its effectiveness.
The Administration proposes to simplify the program
and give more flexibility to PHAs to administer the
program to better address local needs. Building on
changes in the 2005 Consolidated Appropriations Act,
the Administration proposes expanding the ‘‘dollarbased’’ approach. PHAs would continue to receive a set
dollar amount as in 2005, but they would have the
freedom to adjust the program to the unique and changing needs of their community, including the ability to
set their own subsidy levels based on local market conditions. These changes would provide a more efficient
and effective program to help low-income families more
easily obtain decent, safe, and affordable housing.
Other income security. The Administration continues to pursue its plan to reauthorize the Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, which
provides grants to States for programs that assist needy
families with children. TANF grants also promote work
and the formation of married-parent families in order
to reduce dependence on government benefits. The Administration’s plan maintains funding, strengthens
work requirements, supports healthy marriages and
family formation, and increases State flexibility. Outlays for TANF are estimated to be $18.2 billion in 2006.
Health

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance
Program (SCHIP). Funding for Medicaid, a health
care program for low-income individuals, is projected
to be $338 billion ($193 billion in outlays is the Federal
share) in 2006. Within that amount, Medicaid covers
over 46 million children and adults. Long term care
services for the disabled and elderly account for over
30 percent of Medicaid expenditures.
SCHIP makes available approximately $40 billion
over ten years for States to provide health care coverage to targeted low-income, uninsured children. Since
the beginning of the Administration, enrollment in
SCHIP has grown by over one million children to a
total of approximately 5.8 million in 2003.
The following proposals are intended to enhance coverage under both Medicaid and SCHIP:
Cover the Kids. Despite the availability of health care
coverage through Medicaid and SCHIP, millions of children eligible for these programs have not enrolled. The
2006 Budget proposes Cover the Kids, a national outreach campaign that will provide $1 billion in grants
over two years. By combining the resources of the Federal government, States, schools, and community organizations, Cover the Kids aims to enroll as many
Medicaid- and SCHIP-eligible children as possible.
New Freedom Initiative. The Budget includes almost
$3 billion in demonstrations and proposals that promote
home- and community-based care options for people
with disabilities. These policies are part of the President’s New Freedom Initiative, which is a nationwide
effort to integrate people with disabilities more fully
into society.
Transitional Medical Assistance (TMA). TMA provides Medicaid coverage for former welfare recipients
after they enter the workforce. This Budget proposes
to extend TMA for one year with certain statutory
modifications, including State options to eliminate TMA
reporting requirements and provide 12 months of continuous eligibility regardless of changes in families’ financial status. In addition, this Budget proposes a
waiver of the TMA requirement for States that currently provide health benefits for families at 185 percent of the Federal poverty level, which is the statutorily mandated income eligibility level. These changes
will allow for consistent enrollment of TMA beneficiaries while easing the administrative burden on
States.
Medicare premium assistance. The Administration
proposes to continue Medicare Part B premium assistance for Medicare beneficiaries between 120 and 135
percent of the Federal poverty level for one year. In
2005, these premiums will be $78.20 per month. States
receive 100 percent Federal funding for these benefits.
Vaccines for children (VFC). VFC provides all recommended childhood vaccines, free of charge, to four
categories of eligible children: Medicaid beneficiaries,
American Indians/Alaskan Natives, the uninsured, and
the underinsured (those without coverage for a particular vaccine). The Administration proposes to improve vaccine access by allowing underinsured children

8.

127

AID TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

to receive VFC-funded vaccines at State and local
health clinics, rather than only at federally qualified
health centers and rural health centers.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA). Since enacted in 1996, HIPAA has increased
the continuity, portability, and accessibility of health
insurance. To ensure that Medicaid and SCHIP beneficiaries receive the benefits of HIPAA coverage, the
Administration proposes two legislative changes. Under
this proposal, eligibility for a Medicaid/SCHIP Employer-Sponsored Insurance (ESI) Program would be a
qualifying event, which would allow families to enroll
in ESI immediately through special enrollment. This
proposal also would require SCHIP programs to issue
certificates of creditable coverage, which promote portable health coverage by verifying the period of time
an individual was covered by a specific health insurance
policy.
State Purchasing Pools. To help low-income individuals purchase coverage with the health insurance tax
credit, the Administration proposes providing $4.0 billion in grants to States to establish purchasing pools.
By combining the purchasing power of individuals and
families, these pools would offer tax-credit recipients
an additional affordable health insurance option and
would make it easier and faster to shop for coverage.

This will ensure communities have access to capital
to finance their wastewater infrastructure needs. Additionally, the program will meet its long-term revolving
level target of $3.4 billion. The revolving level is the
amount of loans available annually over the long term
after Federal capitalization ends and an indicator of
the CWSRF’s financial stability.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
made the protection of drinking water a priority since
enactment of the initial Safe Drinking Water Act
(SDWA) in 1974, and continues to work to improve
its drinking water programs. Statistics show that drinking water quality is improving, and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention recently estimated that
31 drinking water-related waterborne disease outbreaks
occurred in 2001–2002, down from 39 outbreaks in
1999–2000. The 1996 SDWA amendments created the
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) which,
like the CWSRF, provides grants to States to help capitalize revolving loan funds. Communities use these
funds to finance drinking water systems and infrastructure improvements, including compliance with regulatory drinking water requirements. This Budget provides $850 million to fund the DWSRF in 2006.

Health Centers. Health Centers deliver high-quality,
affordable primary and preventive health care to nearly
14 million patients, regardless of ability to pay at 3,740
sites across the United States annually. In 2006, Health
Centers will serve an estimated 16 percent of the Nation’s population at or below 200 percent of Federal
Poverty Line.
The Budget will complete the President’s commitment
to create 1,200 new or expanded health center sites
to serve an additional 6.1 million people by 2006. Almost 2.4 million additional individuals will receive
health care in 2006 through 570 new or expanded sites
in rural areas and underserved urban neighborhoods.
The President has established a new goal to create
a health center in every poor county that lacks a health
center and can support one. The Budget includes $26
million to fund 40 new health center sites in highpoverty counties. Faith-based and community programs
will be encouraged to compete for these grants.

This Budget includes $2.8 billion in budget authority
for State and local assistance programs, including
Project Safe Neighborhoods, the DNA Initiative, USA
Freedom Corps, State and Local Anti-Terrorism Training, and the Regional Information Sharing System
(RISS). These and other programs funded within Department of Justice (DOJ) enhance the capability of
State and local governments to reduce crime in our
communities, as well as our vulnerability to terrorism.
Today crime, including violent crime, is at a 30-year
low. The Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative,
announced by the President and the Attorney General
in 2001, is a comprehensive strategy that brings together Federal, State, and local agencies to continue
the record reduction in the violent crime in our communities. Working with the DOJ, each community tailors
the program to target problems associated with the
criminal misuse of firearms and to build on local capacities. Since 2001, the Administration has dedicated $1.3
billion in Federal resources to PSN, including grants
to State and local task forces through the Office of
Justice Programs, increased Federal prosecutors within
U.S. Attorneys Offices, and additional agent and training resources within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (ATF). For 2006, this Budget
requests $363 million for PSN, an increase of $138
million and 61 percent over the 2005 enacted level.
The program increase will:
• Provide $74 million in grant assistance for State
and local prosecution of criminal misuse of firearms.
• Increase funding for States to update criminal history records, which are needed to deter illegal fire-

Natural Resources and Environment
The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) provides grants to States to capitalize their municipal
wastewater State revolving funds. States provide
matching funds and then make loans to communities
at below-market rates for wastewater infrastructure
projects such as sewer rehabilitation and treatment
plant expansion. Loan repayments and interest are recycled back into the program.
This Budget funds the CWSRF at $730 million. Due
to significant additional funds provided by Congress in
2004 and 2005, at this funding level, the total capitalization provided between fiscal years 2004–2011 will
remain the same as committed to in the 2004 Budget.

arms purchases, by $34 million, which is more
than double the 2005 enacted level.
• Augment Project ChildSafe, which distributes gun
locks to prevent misuse of guns by children and
youth, by $29 million over the 2005 enacted level.
Transportation
Grants support State and local programs for highways, mass transit, and airports. Grant outlays to State
and local governments for transportation are estimated
to be $46.8 billion in 2006.
• To ease gridlock, this Budget proposes a funding
level of $283.9 billion over six years. This marks
a 35-percent increase over the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA–21) six-year
spending totals. This figure reflects the emerging
consensus in Congress that was developed in a
conference committee in 2004, and the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to complete action on legislation to improve
the surface transportation system.
• This Budget requests $231 million for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) safety operations and research programs
and $465 million for grants to States for targeted
highway safety programs for 2006, which is $23
million more than enacted for 2005. Funding increases are also directed toward improving the Fatalities Analysis Reporting System, Department of
Transportation’s (DOT) database used to measure
and analyze trends in vehicle fatalities.

current duplicative set of Federal community and economic development programs with a more consolidated
approach that focuses resources on the creation of jobs
and opportunities, encourages private sector investment, and includes rigorous accountability measures
and incentives. The Strengthening America’s Communities Grant Program is a targeted, results-oriented approach that will encourage innovation and economic opportunity. By streamlining the delivery of Federal economic development programs, taxpayers will see administrative savings. The President’s Budget includes $3.7
billion in budget authority for 2006 for the Strengthening America’s Communities Grant Program to provide economically distressed communities with a source
of funding for planning, infrastructure development,
and business financing to achieve long-term economic
stability and growth.
Our changing economy presents challenges for certain
communities where traditional industries, such as manufacturing, do not employ as many workers as they
did a generation ago. The President has proposed a
new Opportunity Zone Initiative that will help these
local economies adapt and diversify by targeting Federal resources and encouraging new and existing businesses to invest in these areas. The Commerce Department will have the lead role in managing this initiative.
These efforts, combined with the President’s tax relief
packages and initiatives to increase homeownership
and reduce regulatory burdens, will help more communities participate in our growing national prosperity.

As noted earlier, a detailed listing of budget authority
and outlays for all grants to State and local governments is in Table 8–4 in this chapter.

PERFORMANCE OF GRANTS TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
The Administration is committed to measuring and
improving the performance of Government programs.
The Congress mandated in the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 that performance plans
be developed and that the agencies report annual
progress against these plans.
In addition, this Administration began in the 2004
Budget to assess every Federal program over a five
year period in an assessment strategy known as the
Program Assessment Rating Tool, or PART. With this
budget, the third year of using the PART, the Administration has evaluated about three-fifths of the programs
of the Federal Government.
The PART system assesses each program on four
components (purpose, planning, management, and results/accountability) and gives a score for each of the
components. The scores for each component are then
weighted—results/accountability carries the greatest
weight—and the program is given an overall score. A

program is rated effective if it receives an overall score
of 85 percent or more, moderately effective if the score
is 70 to 84 percent, adequate if the score is 50 to
69 percent, and inadequate if the score is 49 percent
or lower. The program is given a rating ‘‘Results Not
Demonstrated’’ if the program does not have a good
performance measure or does not have data for that
measure. Chapter 2 of this volume discusses the PART
in more detail.
As shown in Table 8–2, 159 of the programs that
have been assessed are primarily grants to State and
local governments. Of these 159, 72 programs, or 45
percent of all grant programs assessed, received a rating of ‘‘Results Not Demonstrated’’. This is higher than
for all programs, in which 29 percent were given this
rating. The higher percent of grants that have this
rating might be explained in part because of the
breadth of purpose of some grants, lack of agreement
among grantees and Federal parties on the purpose

8.

129

AID TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

and performance measures, and therefore lack of focused planning to achieve common goals.
Table 8–2 also shows that the average weighted score
for the 159 grant programs that have been rated by
PART was 51 percent, which is a rating of ‘‘adequate’’.
These programs had total spending of $154.2 billion
in 2004. Of these 159 programs:
• 3 were rated effective ($9.9 billion);
• 25 were rated moderately effective ($67.4 billion);

Table 8–2.

• 46 were rated adequate ($24.5 billion); and
• 13 were rated ineffective ($9.8 billion).
• 72 were rated ‘‘results not demonstrated’’ ($42.5
billion);
If the 72 programs rated ‘‘Results Not Demonstrated’’
are excluded, the average score for the remaining 87
programs was 61 percent, higher than the rating for
all 159 grants but still a rating of ‘‘adequate’’.

The ratings of the largest five of these 159 grant
programs are summarized here. More complete summaries of these and other programs are in the enclosed
Analytical Perspectives CD ROM.
• Department of Transportation: Highway Infrastructure ($32.7 billion in 2004). Rating: Moderately Effective. This program provides financial
and technical assistance to States to construct and
maintain a national system of roads and bridges.
The assessment found that the program has been
generally successful in improving highway safety
and maintaining mobility, but that it should also
take steps to improve oversight of State management of Federal highway dollars.
• Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD): Housing Vouchers ($14.4 billion in 2004).
Rating: Moderately Effective. This program provides assistance to extremely low-income households so they can afford to go out on their own
and rent apartments in the private market. This
program received a relatively high score in com-

parison with other HUD programs because it is
a potentially cost-effective alternative to other
forms of housing assistance. However, some of the
Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) that administer the vouchers are poor managers. The Administration is proposing reforms to allow PHAs
greater flexibility in the use of funds and to lessen
administrative burdens
• Department of Education: IDEA Grants to States
($10.1 billion in 2004). Rating: Results Not Demonstrated. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) grants to States program provides funds for special education and related services to students aged 3–21 with disabilities. While
IDEA funding grew from $6.3 billion in 2001 to
$10.6 billion in 2004, there is no evidence that
this funding has further improved educational outcomes for children with disabilities.
• Department of Health and Human Services: Head
Start ($6.8 billion in 2004). Rating: Results Not
Demonstrated. This program provides grants to

130

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

local public, non-profit, and for-profit programs to
help low-income children prepare for school and
improve their overall development. The current
program design is flawed because it does not hold
individual grantees responsible for effectively preparing children for school.
• Department of Agriculture: National School Lunch
($6.6 billion for 2004). Rating: Results Not Demonstrated. This program provides funds to States
for lunches served to children in schools. This program is generally well designed and has a clear
purpose, however, a large proportion of children
certified for free and reduced price meal benefits
are from households with incomes above the program’s eligibility thresholds. While the assessment
was based largely on existing measures, these
measures do not adequately demonstrate results.
USDA is taking steps to improve the program’s
performance measures.
Block Grants. One of the most common tools used
by the Federal Government is the block grant, particularly in the social services area where States and localities are the service providers. Block grants are embraced for their flexibility to meet local needs and criticized because accountability for results can be difficult

when funds are allocated based on formulas and population counts rather than achievements or needs. In
addition, block grants pose performance measurement
challenges precisely because they can be used for a
wide range of activities. The obstacles to measuring
and achieving results through block grants are reflected
in PART scores: they receive the second lowest average
score of the seven PART types, 8 percent of block grant
programs assessed to date were rated ineffective, and
45 percent were rated ‘‘results not demonstrated.’’
Nonetheless, the PART shows that some Federal
block grant programs are achieving results better than
others, effectively combining the flexibility that localities need with the results that taxpayers deserve. In
the coming year, the Administration will apply the lessons learned from the effective block grants to several
of those performing inadequately. This project will identify the methods used to manage highly rated block
grant programs and adapt and implement those practices in large, low-scoring programs. Each of the programs targeted for improvement will develop an action
plan and implementation timeline that will be tracked
quarterly. The targeted programs will be re-analyzed
through the PART in one to two years to assess whether implementing the block grant ‘‘best practices’’ results
in improved performance.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES
In recent decades, Federal aid to State and local governments has become a major factor in the financing
of certain government functions. The rudiments of the
present system date back to the Civil War. The Morrill
Act, passed in 1862, established the land grant colleges
and instituted certain federally-required standards for
States that received the grants, as is characteristic of
the present grant programs. Federal aid was later initiated for agriculture, highways, vocational education and
rehabilitation, forestry, and public health. In the depression years, Federal aid was extended to meet in-

come security and other social welfare needs. However,
Federal grants did not become a significant factor in
Federal Government expenditures until after World
War II.
Table 8–3 displays trends in Federal grants to State
and local governments since 1960. Section A shows Federal grants by function. Functions with a substantial
amount of grants are shown separately. Grants for the
national defense, energy, social security, and the veterans benefits and services functions are combined in
the ‘‘other functions’’ line in the table.

Federal grants for transportation increased to $3.0
billion, or 43 percent of all Federal grants, in 1960
after initiation of aid to States to build the Interstate
Highway System in the late 1950s.
By 1970 there had been significant increases in the
relative amounts for education, training, employment,
social services, and health (largely Medicaid).
In the early and mid-1970s, major new grants were
created for natural resources and environment (con-

struction of sewage treatment plants), community and
regional development (community development block
grants), and general government (general revenue sharing).
Since the late 1970s changes in the relative amounts
among functions reflect steady growth of grants for
health (Medicaid) and income security. The functions
with the largest amount of grants are health; income
security; education, training, employment, and social

132

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

services; and transportation, with combined estimated
grant outlays of $371.5 billion, or more than 90 percent
of total grant outlays in 2004.
The increase in total outlays for grants overall since
1990 has been driven by increases in grants for health,
which have increased more than four-fold from $43.9
billion in 1990 to $189.8 billion in 2004. The income
security; education, training, employment, and social
services; and transportation functions also increased
substantially, but at a slower rate than the increase
for health.
Section B of the Table shows the distribution of
grants divided into mandatory and discretionary spending.
Funding required for grant programs classified as
mandatory is determined in authorizing legislation.
Funding levels for mandatory programs can only be
changed by changing eligibility criteria or benefit formulas established in law and are usually not limited
by the annual appropriations process. Outlays for mandatory grant programs were $241.7 billion in 2004. The
three largest mandatory grant programs are Medicaid,
with outlays of $192.7 billion in 2006, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, $18.2 billion, and child
nutrition programs, $12.5 billion.
The funding level for discretionary grant programs
is determined annually through appropriations acts.
Outlays for discretionary grant programs were $164.6
billion in 2004. Table 8–4 at the end of this chapter
identifies discretionary and mandatory grant programs
separately. For more information on the Budget Enforcement Act and these categories, see Chapter 26,
‘‘The Budget System and Concepts’’ in this volume.
Section C of Table 8–3 shows the composition of
grants divided into three major categories: payments
for individuals, grants for physical capital, and other
grants. 2 Grant outlays for payments for individuals,
which are mainly entitlement programs in which the
Federal Government and the States share the costs,
have grown significantly as a percent of total grants.
They increased from 57 percent of the total in 1990
to 65 percent of the total in 2004.
These grants are distributed through State or local
governments to provide cash or in-kind benefits that
constitute income transfers to individuals or families.

The major grant in this category is Medicaid. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Food Stamps administration, child nutrition programs, and housing assistance are also large grants in this category.
Grants for physical capital assist States and localities
with construction and other physical capital activities.
The major capital grants are for highways, but there
are also grants for airports, mass transit, sewage treatment plant construction, community development, and
other facilities. Grants for physical capital were almost
half of total grants in 1960, shortly after grants began
for construction of the Interstate Highway System. The
relative share of these outlays has declined, as payments for individuals have grown. In 2004, grants for
physical capital were $59.4 billion, 15 percent of total
grants.
The other grants are primarily for education, training, employment, and social services. These grants were
20 percent of total grants in 2004.
Section C of Table 8–3 also shows these three categories in constant dollars. In constant 2000 dollars,
total grants increased from $172.1 billion in 1990 to
an estimated $371.7 billion in 2004, an average increase of 5.7 percent per year. During this same period,
grants for payments to individuals increased an average
of 6.8 percent per year; grants for physical capital an
average of 3.8 percent per year, and other grants an
average of 4.0 percent per year.
In contrast to these increases, outlays for total grants
in constant 2000 dollars decreased during the 1980s,
from $192.6 billion in 1980 to $172.1 billion in 1990.
Section D of this table shows grants as a percentage
of Federal outlays, State and local expenditures, and
gross domestic product. Grants have increased as a percentage of total Federal outlays from 11 percent in 1990
to 18 percent in 2004. Grants as a percentage of domestic programs were 24 percent in 2004. As a percentage
of total State and local expenditures, grants have increased from 19 percent in 1990 to 25 percent in 2004.
Section E shows the relative contribution of physical
capital grants in assisting States and localities with
gross investment. Federal capital grants are estimated
to be 22 percent of State and local gross investment
in 2004.

OTHER INFORMATION ON FEDERAL AID TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
Additional information regarding aid to State and
local governments can be found elsewhere in this budget and in other documents.
Major public physical capital investment programs
providing Federal grants to State and local governments are identified in Chapter 6, ‘‘Federal Investment.’’
Data for summary and detailed grants to State and
local governments can be found in many sections of
2 Certain housing grants are classified in the budget as both payments for individuals
and physical capital spending. In the text and tables in this section, these grants are
included in the category for physical capital spending.

a separate budget volume entitled Historical Tables.
Section 12 of that document is devoted exclusively to
grants to State and local governments. Additional information on grants can be found in Section 6 (Composition of Federal Government Outlays); Section 9 (Federal
Government Outlays for Investment: Major Physical
Capital, Research and Development, and Education and
Training); Section 11 (Federal Government Payments

for Individuals); and Section 15 (Total (Federal and
State and Local) Government Finances).
In addition to these sources, a number of other
sources of information are available that use slightly
different concepts of grants, provide State-by-State information, provide information on how to apply for Federal aid, or display information about audits.
The Bureau of the Census in the Department of Commerce provides data on public finances, including Federal aid to State and local governments.
The Survey of Current Business, published monthly
by the Bureau of Economic Analysis in the Department
of Commerce, provides data on the national income and
product accounts (NIPA), a broad statistical concept encompassing the entire economy. These accounts include
data on Federal grants to State and local governments.
Data using the NIPA concepts appear in this volume
in Chapter 14, ‘‘National Income and Product Accounts.’’
Federal Aid to States, a report prepared by the Bureau of the Census, shows Federal spending by State
for grants for the most recently completed fiscal year.
The Consolidated Federal Funds Report is an annual
document that shows the distribution of Federal spending by State and county areas and by local govern-

mental jurisdictions. It is prepared by the Bureau of
the Census.
The Federal Assistance Awards Data System
(FAADS) provides computerized information about current grant funding. Data on all direct assistance awards
are provided quarterly by the Bureau of the Census
to the States and to the Congress.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance is a primary reference source for communities wishing to apply
for grants and other domestic assistance. The Catalog
is prepared by the General Services Administration
with data collected by the Office of Management and
Budget. It contains a detailed listing of grant and other
assistance programs; discussions of eligibility criteria,
application procedures, and estimated obligations; and
related information. The Catalog is available on the
Internet at http://www.cfda.gov.
The Federal Audit Clearinghouse maintains an online database (http://harvester.census.gov/sac) that
provides access to summary information about audits
conducted under OMB Circular A-133, ‘‘Audits to
States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations.’’ Information is available for each audited entity,
including the amount of Federal money expended by
program and whether there were audit findings.

INTEGRATING SERVICES WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

This year the President is proposing to spend about
$65 billion for Information Technology (IT) and associated support services to deliver results for the American
people, providing timely and accurate information to
the citizens and government decision makers while ensuring security and privacy.

The three major efforts underway will continue this
fiscal year to ensure the Federal government’s investment in Information Technology returns benefits which
far outweigh the costs. These efforts are:
• Managing for Results
• Expanding the Use of Electronic Government
• Integrating the Federal Enterprise Architecture

MANAGEMENT FOR RESULTS
Departments and agencies are focused on:
• Making it easier for citizens to obtain service and
interact with the Federal government;
• Improving government efficiency and effectiveness;
• Improving government’s responsiveness to citizens; and
• Making better purchasing decisions.
With these goals in mind, the Federal departments
and agencies are fulfilling the goals of the ClingerCohen Act of 1996. This Act also requires the Director
of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to submit an annual report to the Congress on the results
we are achieving from Federal IT spending. This Budget chapter and Table 9–1, ‘‘Effectiveness of Agency’s
IT Management and E-Gov Processes,’’ included on the
CD-ROM, fulfill the statutory reporting requirement.
The Administration continues its oversight of agencies’ IT planning and portfolio activities. Our goal is
to be the best manager, innovator and user of information, services and information systems in the world.
There are great opportunities to apply existing and
emerging business best practices to government to
achieve increases in productivity and delivery of services and information. Agencies are continuing to establish program performance metrics, identify benefits
achieved by their IT investments and show results in
the agency’s overall program performance. Work continues in the operational analysis of cost, schedule and
performance.
Performance of Government.—The measure of success
rests in the results we achieve and the satisfaction
of our customers. The ultimate success is determined
by measuring distinct, quantitative, citizen-centered,
performance results which are tied to the overall agencies’ mission goals and outcomes. Each IT investment
must have specific performance targets tied to a specific
significant beneficial impact for our citizens. The IT
projects represented by these investments must be monitored by the agencies and they must continually assess
whether or not the projects are accomplishing their intended outcomes on-time while staying within their approved budgets.

Departments’ or agencies’ IT business cases for any
planned and/or operational system critical to the mission of the agency must be evaluated. Each business
case must have a clearly defined vision and outcomes,
including security linked to the department’s or agency’s mission through their enterprise architecture. The
business cases are scored on specific criteria, including
whether:
• the expected benefits outweigh estimated costs;
• the likelihood the agency will succeed;
• cyber-security, planned or in place, as appropriate;
• the acquisition strategy helps manage project
risks; and
• project management teams and plans are qualified
and complete.
The Federal departments and agencies continue to
improve in their efforts to guarantee the success and
results for the taxpayer. The Administration continues
to monitor the performance of its IT projects. With the
release of the Fiscal Year 2005 President’s Budget,
there were 621 major projects representing about $22
billion on the ‘‘Management Watch List,’’ i.e., those
project justifications needing improvement in performance measurement, earned value management or system security. Agencies were directed to remediate the
shortfalls identified prior to expending funds before the
start of the fiscal year. The agencies have worked to
remediate the weaknesses or have put measures in
place to monitor the progress of the project. If a project
is still on the ‘‘Management Watch List,’’ agencies must
describe their plans to manage or mitigate risk before
undertaking or continuing that project. For example,
the Department of Defense (DOD) successfully addressed deficiencies for 106 of its 107 business cases
on the ’’Management Watch List,’’ and developed a remediation plan and schedule for the remaining program. This year, less than a third (342 of 1,087 projects
valued at $15 billion) are on the ‘‘Management Watch
List.’’ These projects still need to address performance,
security or other related issues before obligating funding in Fiscal Year 2006.

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

www.whitehouse.gov/OMB, provides details of the Administration’s proposed 2006 IT investments. Related
documents on IT security and Electronic Government
(E-Government)
will
also
be
available
at
www.whitehouse.gov/OMB and will be published by
March 1, 2005.
Since the Administration’s guidance was unchanged
from Fiscal Year 2005 to Fiscal Year 2006, investments
were studied for trends and duplications across government entities. At about $65 billion, the Fiscal Year
2006 Federal IT portfolio represents a 9 percent increase over Fiscal Year 2005 President’s Budget (see
July 2004, Update to the Report on Information Technology (IT) Spending for the Federal Government (Exhibit 53) located at www.whitehouse.gov/OMB.) The following represents the highlights:

In addition to analyzing business cases for major acquisitions, the Administration identifies overlapping or
duplicative IT investments. When there is duplication
across Federal agencies, the Administration brings together the appropriate agencies and helps them to consider broad-based approaches to promote inter-agency
data sharing and cooperation in building common solutions, rather than maintaining separate investments.
These inter-agency taskforces focus on the agency
Lines of Business (LoB) rather than a specific technology or investment. In Fiscal Year 2004, there was
significant progress made on five LoB efforts. These
are:
• Case Management
• Federal Health Architecture
• Financial Management
• Human Resources Management
• Grants Management
The Case Management LoB is the business and technology foundation upon which new solutions for the
Department of Justice and other agencies will be built.
It will also provide a blueprint for sharing information
and best practices across the Federal government. The
goal of this LoB is to improve effectiveness and efficiency of law enforcement, investigation, and civil and
criminal litigation case management business processes.
Federal Health Architecture (FHA) is focused on improving the efficiency, standardization, reliability, and
availability of comprehensive health information solutions through a common framework. FHA is working
within the Office of the National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology in the Department of Health
and Human Services to improve the safety and health

of citizens by providing easier access to health-related
information and services.
Cross-agency teams analyzed opportunities for integration and consolidation in the areas of Financial
Management, Human Resources Management, and
Grants Management. They have recommended the establishment of government-wide service providers in the
areas of Financial Management and Human Resources
Management. The Grants Management team is developing plans for the consolidation of Grants Management
activities across the government. The analysis showed
savings of more than $5 billion can be expected over
a 10 year timeframe through the consolidation of Financial Management and Human Resources Management
systems and the standardization and optimization of
associated business processes and functions.
To realize these benefits, the Administration asked
agencies with the skills and capabilities to function as
government-wide service providers in the areas of
Human Resources Management and/or Financial Management to submit business cases for doing so as part
of the Fiscal Year 2006 budget process. The business
cases were evaluated using a due diligence checklist
developed in conjunction with third-party industry
groups. This checklist assessed potential service providers’ abilities in terms of past performance, current
capabilities, and ability to operate a customer-focused
organization. On the basis of the review, the following
agencies were designated as eligible to enter into competitions to become cross-agency service providers:
Financial Management
• Department of the Interior (National Business
Center)
• General Services Administration
• Department of Transportation
• Treasury/Bureau of Public Debt
Human Resources Management
• Department of the Interior (National Business
Center)
• Department of Agriculture (National Finance
Center)
• Department of Treasury
• Department of Health and Human Services
• Department of Defense
Rather than expend significant effort and resources
modernizing existing systems, agencies will select,
through a competitive process, beginning in Fiscal Year
2005, a government-wide service provider for Human
Resources Management and/or Financial Management
services. Upon migration to common, government-wide
solutions, agencies will shut down existing systems—
which will not only save money but also make available
resources for agencies to better focus on achieving their
missions.
This Administration continues to leverage government buying power while reducing redundant purchases through the SmartBUY program. SmartBUY is
a Federal government-wide enterprise software licensing initiative managed by the General Services Admin-

9.

INTEGRATING SERVICES WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

istration (GSA) to streamline the acquisition process
and provide the best priced, standards-compliant IT.
The SmartBUY initiative includes commercial off-theshelf software generally acquired using license agreements with terms and prices that vary based on volume, including the following types of software licenses:
Office Automation; Network Management; Antivirus;
Database; Business Modeling Tools; and Open Source
Software Support. Since the Administration announced
the SmartBUY program in June 2003, the program has
completed agreements with four software vendors and
plans to negotiate agreements with the remaining top
software vendors to the Federal government. Based on
these agreements already in place, the Federal government expects to reduce its annual software licenses expenses by $21.5 million annually. The Administration
estimates when all agencies make joint use of these
best priced software licenses, the Federal government
could save in excess of $100 million per year.
As part of its management responsibilities, OMB continued using one of the key authorities established in
Section 5113, ‘‘Enforcement of Accountability’’ of the
Clinger-Cohen Act. Under this authority, the Director
is required to evaluate information resources management practices of the executive agencies with respect
to IT investments. Accordingly, OMB has taken several
steps to assist the SmartBUY program in leveraging
government buying power and reducing redundant purchases. The following actions were taken:
• Issued M–03–14 ‘‘Reducing Cost & Improving
Quality in Federal Purchases of Commercial Software,’’ (06/02/03) requesting agencies to assist and
support the SmartBUY initiative by providing information on existing agreements, developing migration strategies, and taking steps to integrate
agency common desktop and server software licenses with the initiative.
• Required, as part of the Fiscal Year 2005 budget
process, in Fiscal Year 2004, agencies to review
all commercial software acquisitions for possible
inclusion into the SmartBUY program.
• Issued M–04–08 ‘‘Maximizing Use of SmartBUY
and Avoiding Duplication of Agency Activities with
the President’s 24 E-Gov Initiatives,’’ (02/25/04)
to all senior procurement officers and Chief Information Officers (CIOs) directing agencies to postpone all further purchase requirements for a category of software once GSA has notified the agencies that it expects to award a SmartBUY contract
within 30 days for that category of software.
• Established a formal waiver process for agencies
with compelling procurement needs, ensuring compliance with SmartBUY and promoting negotiating leverage with software vendors.
• Issued M–04–16 ‘‘Software Acquisition,’’ (07/01/
04), reminding agencies of policies and procedures
covering acquisition of software to support agency
operations. This directive requires that all agency
IT investment decisions be made consistent with
the agency’s enterprise architecture and the Fed-

175

eral Enterprise Architecture, must consider the
total cost of ownership of IT investments, and coordinated, where applicable, with the SmartBUY
program.
Other management guidance provided to Federal departments and agencies is included on Table 9–2, ‘‘Management
Guidance,’’

Government IT Workforce.—Qualified Federal IT
Project Managers with skilled interdisciplinary teams
are the first line of defense against the cost overruns,
schedule slippages, poor performance, and weakened security which threaten agencies’ ability to deliver efficient and effective services to citizens. OMB issued
M–04–19 ‘‘Information Technology (IT) Project Manager
(PM) Qualification Guidance’’ (07/19/04) requiring agencies to submit, by July 30, 2004, a plan to implement
the Chief Information Officer Council (CIOC) guidance
on the qualifications of Federal IT project managers.
The CIOC made great strides in the development of
this guidance to further ensure the quality of our IT
process. Agencies were asked to submit plans for meeting the CIOC guidance and to identify the required
PM Level for each investment requested for their Fiscal
Year 2006 IT budget requests. Agencies were also required to confirm whether the assigned project manager’s qualifications for major IT investments had been
validated against the CIOC guidance.
A review of the top tier of Agencies’ IT requests indicates all agencies directly or indirectly addressed IT
project management qualification standards in accordance with CIOC guidance. According to the submissions
for the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2004 President’s
Management Agenda (PMA) scorecard reporting, over
75 percent of the project managers of major IT investments have been validated against CIOC guidance, and
plans are in place across government to ensure remaining project managers are trained and validated by the
end of the calendar year.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the
CIO Council have conducted two annual governmentwide IT workforce assessments in 2003 and 2004. The
surveys revealed five critical jobs: IT Project Management, IT Security/Information Assurance, Customer
Support, System Analysis, and Applications Software
Management. Using these standardized assessments
provides an efficient and effective government-wide
view of competency and skill gaps assuring our critical
systems are sufficiently staffed to provide for security,
reliability and efficiency. Agencies have received the
results of the Fall Fiscal Year 2004 survey and are
participating in a specialized job activity target-setting
exercise to provide a more defined skill gap analysis
government-wide, and to apply to agency-specific workforce assessment and planning. A Spring assessment
based on CIO’s judgment revealed maintaining a cadre
of qualified IT Project Managers, IT Security Specialists
and IT Architects could best be managed through training programs.

176
The E-Government Act of 2002 requires the assessment and reporting of current training offerings and
the oversight of development of curricula, training
methods, and training priorities to meet projected personnel needs. In July 2004, OPM published its report
on the ‘‘Establishment of a Government Information
Technology Training Program.’’ The training report establishes a common IT training framework and identifies a baseline of current government-wide IT training.
The report reviewed and assessed the adequacy of existing government-wide IT training programs with the
Clinger-Cohen Act core competencies as the basis for
evaluation. This report also served as a baseline for
OPM to track IT and Information Resources Management (IRM) training availability and adequacy across
government in its ongoing responsibility to identify
where gaps in IT and IRM training do not satisfy personnel needs.
OPM also recommended a government-wide IT training framework using the IT Workforce Development
Roadmap as a foundation to link existing IT and IRM
training programs. The framework supports the OPM
requirement to assist agencies in establishing and operating IT training programs. Agency use of this framework will enable their workforce to obtain governmentwide competencies and skills that improve the ability
of the government to achieve agency missions and program goals. This framework fosters the development
of highly skilled Federal IT workers who are better
able to deliver essential services to the American people
in the increasingly technical E-Government environment. However, skill gaps remain in the IT Workforce.
The CIO Council will work in conjunction with OPM
to develop guidelines for assisting departments and
agencies in identifying the skill gaps in their workforce.
OMB asked agencies to report their use of training
plans as well as their integration of IT plans in overall
human capital planning. Most agencies have shown
progress in identifying IT and the needs of the IT workforce as part of their overall human capital planning.
Most indicate coordination and cooperation between
their agencies’ Chief Human Capital and Chief Information Officers and staffs to improve IT project management skills. Most agencies refer to their human capital
planning efforts as a way to ensure the Federal government has sufficient highly qualified IT professionals
to deliver services to citizens, businesses, and government entities, effectively and in direct alignment with
the mission of the agency. A number of agencies discussed the importance of the government-wide survey
data in relation to agency succession planning. Agencies
also referred to OPM’s report as the basis for selecting
training in filling current workforce gaps, especially in
the IT project management arena. The Administration’s
goal during Fiscal Year 2005 is to have no more than
50 percent of the agencies with IT skill gaps within
their workforce.
On January 15, 2004, OPM published proposed regulations to implement an Information Technology Exchange Program. OPM has completed analysis of com-

ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES

ments received from the public on the proposed IT Exchange Program Regulations. In accordance with Executive Order 12866 ‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review’’
(01/11/96), the final regulation is being provided to
OMB for concurrence prior to publication in the Federal
Register.
The IT Exchange Program can improve the skills of
Federal IT managers by exposing them to cutting-edge
management and technical trends in the private sector.
The Program can improve the government’s capability
to apply advances in IT to enhance governmental functions and services, achieve more efficient performance,
increase access to government information, and increase
citizen participation in government.
Securing Government Systems.—Over the last four
years the Federal government has improved the identification and resolution of long-standing, serious, and
pervasive IT security problems. Agencies report both
quarterly and annually on their efforts to address IT
security weaknesses against key IT security performance measures.
For example, the Department of Labor and the Department of Transportation have excelled this year in
protecting their information technology assets. Both
agencies have increased the number of certified and
accredited systems, with Labor moving from 58 percent
to 96 percent accredited, and Transportation improving
from 33 percent to 98 percent. Agency Inspectors General have approved the quality of these certification
and accreditation processes as well as the effectiveness
of agency remediation plans. By focusing on cyber-security, the Department of Labor and the Department of
Transportation have taken great steps to protect the
integrity of their agencies.
The overall security status and progress in percentage of systems*, from Fiscal Year 2002 to Fiscal Year
2004, is as follows:

While notable progress in resolving IT security weaknesses has been made, challenges remain and new
threats and vulnerabilities continue to materialize.
Agencies continue to improve the security of the information and systems supporting the Federal government’s missions. To address these challenges, the Administration works with agencies, Inspectors General,
the Congress and the Government Accountability Office
(GAO) to assure appropriate cost-effective IT security

INTEGRATING SERVICES WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

programs, policies, and procedures are in place to protect government systems. OMB issued M–04–25 ‘‘FY
2004 Reporting Instructions for the Federal Information
Security Management Act’’ (08/23/04) providing updated
instructions for the agency reporting under the Federal
Information Security Management Act of 2002
(FISMA). Agencies were directed to transmit their Fiscal Year 2004 reports on the effectiveness of their security programs to OMB by October 6, 2004.
Additional information and detail concerning the Federal government’s IT security program and agency IT
security performance can be found in OMB’s Annual
Report to Congress on IT Security. The next such report
will be issued by March 1, 2005 and will be made
available on OMB’s website.
Additionally, the Administration intends to focus on
the implementation of a security LoB to reduce costs
and increase security effectiveness across government.
Working with agencies, the Administration will analyze
commonly used IT security processes and controls in
an effort to identify the extent to which consolidation
opportunities exist.
Protecting Privacy.—The Administration continues to
work with departments and agencies to assure that
privacy issues are addressed across boundaries providing a uniform and systematic process to protect citizen information. One method is through the Privacy
Impact Assessment (PIA) process. The PIA is a description of business processes, data flows and technologies
in the context of applicable privacy principles. Agencies
have been conducting PIAs since the last budget cycle,
submitting them to OMB as necessary and making
them publicly available. The CIO Council has released

177

a Security and Privacy Profile to be used in conjunction
with the Federal Enterprise Architecture and the agency’s specific enterprise architecture to ensure privacy
and security are properly addressed within the planned
IT investment. Because of the visibility of the PIA’s
and the work done, OMB did not request reporting
on this activity this year.
The Administration plans for greater transparency
on the part of the government agencies as it relates
to information collection and will continue to use the
PIA effort to provide this service.
Making Government Accessible to All.—Information
technology is increasing access to Federal information
and services. The Federal government continues to ensure electronic information technology is accessible to
people with disabilities as required by Section 508 of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The creation of the Buy
Accessible Wizard, a web-based application developed
by GSA, helps agencies to determine relevance, applicability, and compliance to Section 508 when managing
electronic and information technology products and
services. The application helps Federal program managers to consistently and correctly apply the Federal
Acquisition Regulation to their market research.
Agencies have also established inventories of the
types of information available on their websites, as well
as priorities and schedules for posting content. The inventories and schedules help ensure agency information
products are adequately categorized and preserved so
citizens can easily retrieve them when searching. These
practices improve the quality and timeliness of the Federal government’s information resources.

SUCCESSFUL USES OF ELECTRONIC GOVERNMENT
E-Government continues to seek to leverage information technologies to make government services available
to the citizen while ensuring security of those systems,
the privacy of the citizen information and the prudent
use of taxpayer money. E-Government is about providing direct and measurable results supporting departments’ and agencies’ mission and goals. For departments and agencies, the benefits must far outweigh
the cost of implementation. In the coming months, the
Presidential E-Government initiatives graduate from
development and implementation phases to mature
service offerings supported by service fees. Increased
agency adoption and customer utilization will become
the primary measures of success. The expanded availability of government information and the utilization
of an increased percentage of transactions between the
Federal government and citizens will be measured,
where appropriate.
Examples of how the tenets of E-Government are
helping to deliver services to the citizen and make the
government more effective include:
In Fiscal Year 2003, the Department of Labor (DOL)
fully deployed the Safety and Health Information Management System (SHIMS) which manages employee in-

jury reports and worker compensation claims and produces management reports and data to help guide
intervention activities. Previously, claim forms were
manually written and mailed which resulted in a two
week response. With SHIMS, DOL electronically receives the claim within 24 hours and provides a response within two days. The cost savings are attributed
to the implementation of the SHIMS in DOL. The system demonstrates a reduction in workers’ compensation
costs through quicker claims processing and the ability
to identify persons able to return to work. As a result
of this effort, DOL saved over $3.23 million from FY
2003 to FY 2004 in workers’ compensation costs. Fourteen Federal agencies have agreed to implement
SHIMS with six agencies working towards a January
2005 implementation target. DOL’s successful project
management performance in attaining Federal goals is
a major factor in agencies seeking to partner for use
of SHIMS.
The Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration implemented t
