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. This 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, the 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 Analytical Perspectives 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. Increased performance information can help managers improve program effectiveness, and can help Executive and Congressional policymakers improve the allocation of public resources. On November 13, 2007, President Bush issued an Executive Order that formalizes the commitment of the U.S. government to spend the taxpayers’ money wisely and more effectively every year. The performance assessment information is summarized in Chapter 2, ‘‘Performance Improvement Initiative,’’ and is discussed in many other chapters, especially those in the section, ‘‘Crosscutting Programs.’’ One-page summaries of each program assessment are available at www.ExpectMore.gov and further information on the PART process is available at www.omb.gov/ part. Again this year, several large tables are included at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2009/ spec.html for the electronic version of this volume and on the Analytical Perspectives CD-ROM enclosed with the printed version of this volume. A list of these items is in the Table of Contents. Overview of the Chapters Introduction 1. Introduction. This chapter discusses each of the subsequent chapters briefly and highlights the emphasis on performance in a crosscutting context. Performance and Management Assessments 2. Performance Improvement Initiative. This chapter summarizes the performance and management assessments that have been completed to date using the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART). One-page summaries of the program evaluations, as well as detail on each of the assessments can be found at www.ExpectMore.gov. Crosscutting Programs 3. Homeland Security Funding Analysis. This chapter discusses homeland security funding and provides information on homeland security program requirements, performance, and priorities. Additional detailed information is available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/ omb/budget/fy2009/spec.html for the electronic version of this volume and on the Analytical Perspectives CDROM enclosed with the printed version of this volume. 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 2009 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 federally-financed spending that yields long-term benefits. It presents information on annual spending on physical capital, research and development, and education and training, and on the cumulative capital stocks resulting from that spending. Also included in this chapter is material on the PART assessments related to direct Federal investment spending. 7. Credit and Insurance. This chapter provides crosscutting analyses of the roles, risks, and performance of Federal credit and insurance programs and Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs). 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 available at http:// www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2009/spec.html for 3 4 the electronic version of this volume and on the Analytical Perspectives CD-ROM enclosed with the printed version of this volume. 8. Aid to State and Local Governments. This chapter presents crosscutting information on Federal grants to State and local governments, including highlights of Administration proposals. This chapter also includes material on the PART assessments related to grants. An Appendix to this chapter includes State-by-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). It 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. Several detailed tables are available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2009/ spec.html for the electronic version of this volume and on the Analytical Perspectives CD-ROM enclosed with the printed version of this volume. 10. Federal Drug Control Funding. This chapter 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 and State funding for the California-Federal Bay-Delta Program, in fulfillment of the reporting requirements for this program. Detailed tables on funding and project descriptions are available at http:// www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/fy2009/spec.html for the electronic version of this volume and on the Analytical Perspectives CD-ROM enclosed with the printed version of this volume. Economic Assumptions and Analyses 12. Economic Assumptions. This chapter reviews recent economic developments; presents the Administration’s assessment of the economic situation and outlook, including the 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; actuarial estimates for the shortfalls in Social Security and Medicare; a discussion of tax compliance; 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 Com- ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES merce. 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. Budget Reform Proposals 15. Budget Reform Proposals. This chapter includes a brief description of the Administration’s budget reform agenda for addressing the need for responsible budgeting and other reforms. Federal Borrowing and Debt 16. Federal Borrowing and Debt. This chapter analyzes Federal borrowing and debt and explains the budget estimates. It includes sections on special topics such as the trends in debt, agency debt, investment by Government accounts, and the debt limit. Federal Receipts and Collections 17. Federal Receipts. This chapter presents information on receipts estimates, enacted tax legislation, and the receipts proposals in the Budget. 18. User Charges and Other Collections. This chapter presents information on receipts from regulatory fees and on collections from market-oriented activities, such as the sale of stamps by the Postal Service, which are recorded as offsets to outlays rather than as Federal receipts. 19. Tax Expenditures. This chapter describes and presents estimates of tax expenditures, which are defined as revenue losses from special exemptions, credits, or other preferences in the tax code. An appendix discusses possible alternatives to the current tax expenditure baselines. Dimensions of the Budget 20. Comparison of Actual to Estimated Totals. This chapter compares the actual receipts, outlays, and deficit for 2007 with the estimates for that year published two years ago in the 2007 Budget. It also includes a historical comparison of the differences between receipts, outlays, and the deficit as originally proposed with final outcomes. 21. Outlays to the Public, Gross and Net. This chapter provides information on outlays gross and net of offsetting collections and offsetting receipts by agency. Outlays are a measure of Government spending. Offsetting collections and offsetting receipts are netted against gross outlays and result primarily from the Government’s business-like activities, such as the sale of stamps by the Postal Service. 22.

PERFORMANCE AND MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENTS 7 2. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE I. INTRODUCTION The American people expect the Federal government to implement programs that will ensure the Nation’s security, provide critical national level services and produce meaningful results. To hold government accountable for its performance, taxpayers must have clear and candid information about the successes and failures of all Federal programs. For the third straight year, the Administration is providing this type of information to the public on ExpectMore.gov, a user-friendly government website that allows public access to government programs. ExpectMore.gov describes which government programs are performing, which ones are not, and in both situations, what is being done to improve them. The objective of the President’s Performance Improvement Initiative (PII) (formerly the Budget and Performance Integration Initiative) is to ensure that Federal dollars produce the greatest results possible. The Initiative provides information on program performance to help the President and Congress make better, more informed decisions about the programs. The PII focuses on performance in two principal ways: • Improved Program Performance: The initiative requires each agency to identify opportunities to improve program management and design, and then develop and implement clear, aggressive plans to get more from tax dollars every year. Agencies have ready access to program performance information from a variety of sources such as the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) and other independent program evaluations, investigations, audits, and analyses. • Greater Investment in Successful Programs: Although performance is not the only factor used to decide the size of a program’s budget, Congress and the President can utilize information about a program’s effectiveness and efficiency in decision-making so that taxpayer dollars are invested in programs that provide the greatest return to the Nation. If poorly performing programs are unable to demonstrate improved results, then their resources may be reallocated to programs that can demonstrate greater success and returns to the taxpayer. Currently, the PII is showing great progress toward helping programs become more efficient and more effective through implementation of meaningful improvement plans. Many programs are demonstrating improved results. For example: • Social Security Administration (SSA): SSA increased agency productivity by 15.5 percent since 2001 through increased use of information technology and improved business processes. SSA would have required $980 million more in 2007 to process the same work if productivity improvements had not been realized. • High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA): The HIDTA program improved the way it measures success by implementing a system for tracking and analyzing performance data. Using this information, more drug trafficking organizations were dismantled for less money. In 2005, 2,183 Drug Trafficking Organizations were dismantled for $80,000 each. By 2006, 2,332 were dismantled for $76,000 each. • Administration on Aging (AoA): AoA improved its outreach and services to elderly Americans who suffer from disease and disability. In 2006, there were 18 States that improved targeting to those living below the poverty level, serving an additional 80,000 elderly individuals who lived in poverty. Over 345,000 elderly and disabled individuals, who due to their physical conditions would otherwise be living in nursing homes, can continue to live in their own homes and stay connected to their communities. This is an increase of more than 52,200 nursing home-eligible individuals since 2003. • Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP): In 2006 as a part of its ‘‘Greening Prisons’’ initiative, the BOP piloted renewable energy technologies in several prisons and generated savings of $1.1 million. As a result, in 2006 and 2007, BOP entered into 18 new national Energy Savings Performance Contracts with energy services companies to generate additional savings. Agencies are identifying additional actions to improve the performance of each of their programs. For example: Progress toward the second PII goal of improving resource allocation has been limited, but this year, the Administration had more success in terminating some low-performing programs and targeting those resources to well-performing programs. In 2008 seven programs were terminated, saving $156 million and six programs were reduced, saving $1.120 billion. Though no decision is based purely on performance, overall, high performing programs received larger funding increases than those that did not perform as well. 9 10 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES II. HOW THE PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE WORKS Several aspects of the Performance Improvement Initiative are designed to maximize program performance. They include: • Comprehensively assessing performance using the PART; • Publishing quarterly Scorecards to hold agencies accountable for managing for results, addressing PART findings, and implementing improvement plans; • Broadcasting results to the public on ExpectMore.gov; and • Facilitating program improvement through interagency collaboration and cooperation. Comprehensive Assessment with the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) How do we ensure that Federal programs are improving every year? First, we assess their current performance. In order to improve a program’s outcomes, it is critical to have a good understanding of how the program is currently performing. To date, we have assessed the performance of more than 1,000 programs, comprising 96 percent of all Federal programs, using the PART. History of the PART The Federal Government spends trillions of dollars on programs annually, but until the advent of the PART, there was not a uniform basis for assessing how well these programs actually work. For example, are the billions of taxpayer dollars the Federal Government spends on foster care actually preventing the maltreatment and abuse of children? Are Federal efforts to reduce air pollution successful? Previous administrations from President Johnson to President Clinton and Congress have grappled with this problem. Each prior administration has tried to come up with means by which government programs can be measured for results. The most significant advance in bringing accountability to government programs was the Government Perform- ance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). This law requires Federal agencies to identify both annual and long-term goals and to collect and report performance data. For the first time, agencies were required to explicitly identify measures and goals for judging the performance of each of their programs and to collect information on an annual basis in order to determine whether they were meeting those goals. This Administration built upon GPRA requirements by creating the PART (Program Assessment Rating Tool), an objective, evidence-based and easy-to-understand questionnaire about program design, planning, management, and performance. Objectivity is paramount to a PART rating. For example, when the development of the PART began in 2002, the first draft included a question relating to whether a particular program served an appropriate federal role. Because many people believed that the answer to that question would vary depending on the reviewer’s philosophical outlook, the question was removed. Public and private sector entities have reviewed the PART. Private sector reviewers have praised the PART assessment process for its transparency and objectivity and also have raised concerns that OMB has striven to address. For instance, some reviewers found that assessments of different programs lacked consistency in the answers to the same questions. OMB now audits all draft assessments to correct any obvious inconsistencies. Reviewers also found that agencies did not always agree with the final assessment of their programs. Agencies can now appeal to a high level subcommittee of the President’s Management Council to dispute answers with which they disagree. To address concerns that OMB and agencies were not doing enough to involve Congress in the assessment process, agencies are now required to brief and consult their Congressional appropriators, authorizers, and overseers before the annual assessments begin. The accompanying timeline provides a history of the development of the PART. 11 2.

The PART helps assess the management and performance of individual programs. With the PART, agencies and OMB evaluate a program’s purpose, design, planning, management, results, and accountability to determine its overall effectiveness. Agencies then identify and complete follow-up actions to improve program results. To reflect the fact that Federal programs deliver goods and services using different mechanisms, the PART is customized by program type. The seven PART types are: Direct Federal, Competitive Grant, Block/Formula Grant, Research and Development, Capital Assets and Service Acquisition, Credit, and Regulatory. The PART types apply to both discretionary and mandatory programs. ExpectMore.gov also classifies each program by its specific program area (such as environment, transportation, education, etc.) to facilitate comparison and accelerate the improved performance of programs with similar missions. Each PART includes 25 basic questions and additional questions tailored to the different program types. The questions are divided into four sections. The first section of questions gauges whether a program has a clear purpose and is well designed to achieve its objectives. The second section evaluates strategic planning, and weighs whether the agency establishes outcome-oriented annual and long-term goals for its programs. The third section rates the management of an agency’s program, including the quality of efforts to improve efficiency. The fourth section assesses the results 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 combined and 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.’’ This rating suggests that not enough information and data are available to make an informed determination about whether a program is achieving results. 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 funding decrease may be proposed for a program rated ‘‘Effective’’ if it is not a priority or has completed its mission. However, most of the time, an ‘‘Effective’’ rating is an indication that the program is using its funding well and that major changes are not needed. Publish a Scorecard to Hold Agencies Accountable Agencies are achieving greater results with the help of the habits and disciplines established through the Performance Improvement Initiative (PII). These agencies recognize that the PART can be a useful tool to drive improvement in the performance of their programs. Agency success is judged by clear, Government-wide goals or standards consistent with the Program Improvement Initiative. Agencies have developed and are implementing detailed, aggressive improvement plans to achieve these goals. Most importantly, agencies are held publicly accountable for adopting these disciplines. To meet the Standards for Success for the PII, an agency must: • Demonstrate that senior agency managers meet at least quarterly to examine reports that integrate financial and performance information that covers all major responsibilities of the Department; • Have strategic plans that contain a limited number of outcome-oriented goals and objectives. Annual budget and performance documents incorporate measures identified in the PART and focus 13 2. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE on the information used in the senior management report described in the first criterion; • Report the full cost of achieving performance goals accurately in budget and performance documents and accurately estimate the marginal cost of changing performance goals; • Have at least one efficiency measure for all PARTed programs; • Use PART evaluations to direct program improvements and hold managers accountable for those improvements, and PART findings and performance information are used consistently to justify funding requests, management actions, and legislative proposals; and • Have less than 10 percent of agency programs receive a Results Not Demonstrated rating for two years in a row. Each quarter, agencies receive two ratings—status and progress. First, they are rated on their status in achieving the overall goals for each initiative. They are given a green, yellow or red rating to clearly announce their performance. Green status is for success in achieving each of the criteria listed above; yellow is for an intermediate level of performance; and red is for unsatisfactory performance. Second, agency progress on the Program Improvement Initiative standards is assessed separately. Agency progress is reviewed on a case-by-case basis against the work plan and related time lines established for each agency. Progress is also given a color rating. Green is given when implementation is proceeding according to plans agreed upon with the agencies; yellow for when some slippage or other issues require adjustment by the agency in order to achieve the initiative objectives on a timely basis; and red when the Initiative is in serious jeopardy of not realizing its objectives without significant management intervention. As of September 30, 2007, fourteen agencies achieved green status on the Program Improvement Initiative Scorecard. The agencies at green are: 1. Department of Agriculture 2. Department of Commerce 3. Department of Education 4. Department of Energy 5. Environmental Protection Agency 6. Department of Justice 7. Department of Labor 8. Department of Transportation 9. General Services Administration 10. National Aeronautics and Space Administration 11. National Science Foundation 12. Small Business Administration 13. Smithsonian Institution 14. Social Security Administration The Scorecard is an effective accountability tool to ensure agencies manage the performance of their programs. Although a scorecard rating is not directly linked to any specific consequences, it is quickly understood at the highest levels of the Administration as an indicator of an agency’s strength or weakness. The Government-wide scorecard reporting on individual agency progress is published quarterly at www.results.gov/agenda/scorecard.html. Broadcast Results on ExpectMore.gov ExpectMore.gov provides Americans with candid information about which programs work, which do not, and what all programs are doing to get better every year. Up until the launch of ExpectMore.gov last year, Americans had limited access to information on how well the Federal Government performed. Now, Americans can see for themselves how their government programs are performing. In many cases, the Federal Government performs well. In some cases, it performs better than the private sector. ExpectMore.gov contains summaries of PART results for all programs that have been assessed to date. The site provides program information that a concerned citizen could use to assess a program’s performance. Each assessment includes a brief description of the program’s purpose, its overall rating, some highlights about its performance and the steps it will take to improve in the future. For individuals interested in more information, the site also provides links to the detailed program assessment, as well as that program’s website and the assessment summaries of other similar programs. The detailed PART assessment includes the answer to each PART question with an explanation and supporting evidence. It also includes the performance measures for the program along with current performance information. In addition, there is an update on the status of follow-up actions to improve program performance. A visitor to the site may find, at least initially, that programs are not performing as well as they should or program improvement plans are not sufficiently ambitious. We expect this site to help change that. The website has a variety of benefits, including: • Increased public attention to performance; • Greater scrutiny of agency action (or inaction) to improve program results: —Improvement plans are transparent —Statements about goals and achievements are clearer; and • Demand for better quality and more timely performance data. Implement Inter-Agency Program Improvement The Administration continues to look for new ways to improve the performance of programs with similar purposes or designs by using the PART to analyze performance across agencies (i.e., cross-cutting analysis) and State and local levels. Cross-cutting analysis can improve coordination and communication by encouraging managers from multiple agencies to agree to a common set of goals and by placing the focus on quantifiable results. Cross-cutting analysis breaks down barriers across the Federal, State, and local levels so that all entities work toward the same goal. Only topics that are expected to yield meaningful results are se- 14 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES lected for cross-cutting analyses. To date, the Administration completed cross-cutting analyses of the government’s math and science programs, community and eco- nomic development programs, import and food safety programs, and others. III. RESULTS As mentioned above, the PII measures its progress according to two key principles: • Improved Program Performance; and • Greater Investment in Successful Programs There has been greater success in leading agencies to think more systematically about how they measure and improve program performance. Though there are many factors that impact program performance, it is clear that the PII has framed the discussion around results. Agencies have developed ways to measure their efficiency so they can figure out how to achieve more with Americans’ tax dollars. 2009 marks the sixth year that the PART was used to (1) assess program performance, (2) take steps to improve program performance, and (3) help link performance to budget decisions. To date, the Administration has assessed more than 1,000 programs, representing approximately 96 percent of the Federal budget. The Administration will use the PART to assess the performance and management of the remaining Federal programs. 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 chart below shows the percentage of programs by ratings category. Chart 2-1. Program Ratings are Improving Cumulative Program Results by Ratings Category 100% 6% 11% 15% 15% 26% 29% 17% 18% 30% 31% 24% 26% 80% 15% 20% 60% 26% 28% 5% 50% 28% 29% 5% 38% 40% 4% 29% 4% 24% 3% 22% 2005 (793) 2006 (977) 20% 3% 19% 0% 2002 (234) 2003 (407) 2004 (607) Effective Adequate Moderately Effective Ineffective These results demonstrate that the PII has been very successful in focusing Agencies’ attention on program performance. For example, approximately: • 89 percent of programs established or clarified their long-term and annual performance goals to focus on the outcomes that are important to the American people. • 82 percent of programs are achieving their performance goals. • 73 percent of programs are measuring their efficiency, a relatively new activity for Government programs. 2007 (1011) Results not Demonstrated • 70 percent of programs are improving efficiency annually, producing more value per dollar spent. • 55 percent of programs that were initially unable to demonstrate results have improved their overall performance rating. Unfortunately, there has not been a similar level of accomplishment in the second measure: Greater Investment in Successful Programs. Though Congressional use of performance information has been limited, most in the Congress are aware of the PART. This topic was discussed extensively in recent debates in the Senate. 15 2. PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE Senator Wayne Allard introduced an amendment to cut funding for programs funded in the Labor, HHS, and Education 2008 Appropriations Bill rated as ‘‘Ineffective’’ by 10 percent across the board. In advocating his amendment, Senator Allard said: These assessments represent the combined wisdom of career officials. This is not a political process. These are objective evaluations done by career officials at agencies and OMB, and are based on evidence of that program’s performance. While a program’s overall rating should not be the sole determinant of funding, Congress should prioritize funding programs that perform well. Ineffective programs in particular should be scrutinized to determine whether the resources they use could be better spent elsewhere and whether their goals could be achieved through other means. Senator Allard brought warranted focus on programs that aren’t performing as they should. In arguing against the amendment, Senator Tom Harkin said: The Program Assessment Rating Tool . . . is intended to help assess the management and performance of individual programs. So it is not just a question of whether the program works, it also evaluates whether Congress has designed the program in a clear manner and whether Federal agencies do a good job managing the program. Both Senators went on to have a substantive debate about how programs were performing and how to get them to perform better. And soon thereafter, in arguing for his own amendment, Senator John Cornyn said: The Office of Management and Budget has recently reviewed over a thousand programs. As this chart indicates, upon a review of 1,016 Federal Government programs, they have concluded that 22 percent of those programs rated either as ineffective or they are unable to determine whether they are effective. In other words, they are unable to find evidence that they are effective. They have not conclusively determined them as ineffective, but they have concluded that 22 percent of the Federal Government programs are either ineffective or the results are not demonstrated. Anybody who is interested anywhere in the world—certainly in the United States—can look at the information on this ExpectMore.gov Web site and inform themselves, as I am sure they would want to, about what the Federal Government is doing and not doing on their behalf. This debate on Senator Allard’s amendment was an important one. It shows increasing attention to the objective rating of program performance. IV. NEXT STEPS The PII has identified several activities to improve program effectiveness over the coming year: Ensure Program Goals are Adequate and Improvement Plans are Aggressive and Result in Improved Performance.—Review of all completed PARTs and program goals, as well as rigorous follow-up on recommendations from the PART will accelerate improvements in the performance of Federal programs. This will ensure that the hard work done through the PART produces performance and management improvements. Additionally, implementation of improvement must be tracked and reported. Appoint Agency Performance Improvement Officers.— To ensure successful implementation of the new policy of the Federal Government embodied in Executive Order 13450 to spend taxpayer dollars effectively, and more effectively each year, each agency will appoint Performance Improvement Officers. Performance Improvement Officers are responsible for coordinating the performance improvement activities of their agencies, including: • Developing and improving the agency’s strategic plans, annual performance plans, and annual performance reports, as well as ensuring the use of such information in agency budget justifications; • Ensuring program goals are aggressive, realistic, and accurately measured; • Regularly convening agency program management personnel to assess and improve program performance and efficiency; and • Assisting the head of the agency in the development and use within the agency of performance measures in personnel performance appraisals, particularly those of program managers, to ensure real accountability for greater effectiveness. Expand Cross-Cutting Analyses.—Use the PART to facilitate cross-cutting analysis where there is a higher return than approaching programs individually. The goal of these efforts is to increase efficiency and save dollars, building on the success of previous cross-cutting analyses. Congressional guidance will be a factor in choosing topics for the next group of cross-cutting analyses. Maximize ExpectMore.gov Impact.—The Federal Government should be accountable to the public for its performance. This web-based tool provides candid information on how programs are performing and what they are doing to improve. The PII Initiative will work to increase the reach and impact of this valuable information to improve program performance and accountability for results. 16 Note.—A table with summary information for all programs that have been reviewed using the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) is available at: www.whitehouse.gov/omb/expectmore/part.pdf. This table provides program ratings, section scores, funding levels, and other information.

This is a comma-separated values file that academics and researchers can use to analyze performance data. CROSSCUTTING PROGRAMS 17 3. HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING ANALYSIS Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Federal Government, with State, local and private sector partners, has engaged in a concerted national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism, and minimize the damage and recover from any attacks that do occur. Accordingly, we have identified and pursued terrorists abroad, and implemented an array of measures to secure our citizens and resources at home. We have worked with the Congress to reorganize the Federal Government; acquire countermeasures to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons; enhance the security of our borders; protect our critical infrastructure and key resources; and strengthen America’s response and recovery capabilities in our cities and local communities. Elements of our National Strategy for Homeland Security involve every level of government as well as the private sector and individual citizens. Since September 11th, homeland security has continued to be a major policy focus for all levels of government, and the U.S. government has no more important mission than securing the Homeland. Underscoring 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. This analysis covers the homeland security funding and activities of all Federal agencies, not only those carried out by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), but also State, local, and private sector expenditures. Since not all activities carried out by DHS constitute homeland security funding (e.g. response to natural disasters and Coast Guard search and rescue activities), DHS estimates in this section do not represent the entire DHS budget. Data Collection Methodology and Adjustments 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 secu- 1 All data in the Federal expenditures section are based on the President’s policy for the 2009 Budget. Additional policy and baseline data is presented in the ‘‘Additional Tables’’ section. Due to rounding, data in this section may not add to totals in other Budget volumes. 2 Federal homeland security activities are currently defined by OMB in Circular A–11 as, ‘‘activities that focus on combating and protecting against terrorism, and that occur within the United States and its territories (this includes Critical Infrastructure Protection rity responsibilities. These estimates do not include the efforts of the Legislative or Judicial branches. Information in this chapter is augmented by a detailed appendix of account-level funding estimates, which is available on the Analytical Perspectives CD-ROM. To compile this data, agencies report information using standardized definitions for homeland security. 2 The data provided by the agencies are developed at the ‘‘activity level,’’ which is a set of like programs or projects, at a level of detail sufficient to consolidate the information to determine 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 homeland security-related activities from host programs and refine their characterizations. 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. Federal Expenditures Total funding for homeland security has grown significantly since the attacks of September 11, 2001. For 2009, the President’s Budget includes $66.3 billion of gross budget authority for homeland security activities, a $4.5 billion (7.3 percent) increase over the 2008 enacted level. 3 Excluding mandatory spending, fees, and the Department of Defense’s (DOD) homeland security budget, the 2009 Budget proposes a net, non-Defense, discretionary budget authority level of $40.1 billion, which is an increase of $3.9 billion (10.7 percent) over the 2008 level (see Table 3–1). A total of 32 agency budgets comprise Federal homeland security funding in 2009. Of those, five agencies— the Departments of Homeland Security, Defense, Health and Human Services (HHS), Justice (DOJ) and Energy (DOE)—account for approximately $60.7 billion (91 percent) of total Government-wide gross discretionary homeland security funding in 2009. (CIP) and Continuity of Operations (COOP) data), or outside of the United States and its territories if they support domestically-based systems or activities (e.g., visa processing or pre-screening high-risk cargo at overseas ports). Such activities include efforts to detect, deter, protect against, and, if needed, respond to terrorist attacks.’’ 3 The 2009 gross homeland security funding request level excludes $2.2 billion for BioShield. 19 20 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Table 3–1.

Obligations Limitations Department of Transportation Obligations Limitation ............................................................................. 1 The 2008 supplemental and emergency funding levels for the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Justice (DOJ) include both enacted and requested supplemental and emergency funding. DHS supplemental funding includes the pending $113 million and DOJ supplemental funding includes the pending $106 million. 2 DOC’s 2007 gross full-year CR level per H.J.Res. 20 for homeland security excludes $1 billion in mandatory borrowing authority for the Public Safetly Interoperable Communications (PSIC) Grants program to provide Federal grants to public safety agencies for communications interoperability purposes. Although technically scored in 2007, this funding will be made available from proceeds of the Federal Communications Commission’s 2008 auction of returned television spectrum, at which time DOC will begin obligating funds. 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 with many challenges. There is a wide range of potential threats and risks from terrorism. To optimize limited resources and minimize the potential social costs to our free and open society, we must apply a risk management approach across all homeland security efforts in order to identify and assess potential hazards (including their downstream effects), determine what levels of relative risk are acceptable, and prioritize and allocate resources among all homeland security partners, both public and private, to prevent, protect against, and respond to and recover from incidents. 21 3. HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING ANALYSIS Homeland security is a shared responsibility built upon a foundation of partnerships—Federal, State, local, and Tribal governments, the private and nonprofit sectors, communities, and individual citizens all share common goals, responsibilities, as well as accountability, for securing the Homeland. In addition, partnerships in homeland security also extend beyond our Nation’s borders, with international cooperation continuing to be an enduring feature of our approach to threats that transcend jurisdictional and geographic boundaries. The latest National Strategy for Homeland Security of 2007 continues to provide a framework for addressing these challenges first set out by the President’s 2002 version. 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. In October 2007, the President issued an updated National Strategy for Homeland Security, which is serving to guide, organize, and unify our Nation’s homeland security efforts. This updated National Strategy, which builds directly from the first National Strategy for Homeland Security issued in July 2002, reflects our increased understanding of the terrorist threats confronting the United States and incorporates lessons learned from exercises and real-world catastrophes. It provides a common framework through which our entire Nation should focus its homeland security efforts on the following four goals: • prevent and disrupt terrorist attacks; • protect the American people, our critical infrastructure, and key resources; • respond to and recover from incidents that do occur; and • continue to strengthen the homeland security foundation we have built to ensure our long-term success. Table 3–2. For this year’s analysis, departments and agencies categorized their funding data based on the critical mission areas defined in the National Strategy for Homeland Security (July 2002), which are: Intelligence and Warning; Border and Transportation Security; Domestic Counterterrorism; Protecting Critical Infrastructures and Key Assets; Defending Against Catastrophic Threats; and Emergency Preparedness and Response. Next year’s categorization will be based on the four goals of the 2007 National Strategy for Homeland Security. At the Federal level, the National Strategy is a dynamic document being implemented through a robust interagency planning and coordination process. It includes actions that agencies use and must build upon to measure progress. In some cases, progress may be easily measured. In others, Federal departments and agencies, along with State and local governments and the private sector, are working together to develop measurable goals. Finally, in some areas, Federal departments and agencies and partners must continue to develop a better understanding of changing risks and threats—such as the biological agents most likely to be used by a terrorist group or the highest-risk critical infrastructure targets—in order to develop benchmarks that suit the needs of the moment and at the same time align to long-term goals. For example, a major inter-agency effort currently occurring at the Federal level is the tracking and updating of the National Implementation Plan for the Global War on Terrorism and attendant performance measures that address homeland security. Funding presented in this report is analyzed in the context of major ‘‘mission areas.’’ Activities in many of the mission areas are closely related and certain capabilities highlighted by a single mission area also enhance capabilities captured by other mission areas.

However, for the purposes of segmenting Federal homeland security funding by mission areas, discussions of cross-cutting activities have also been separated by mission areas. Furthermore, there are a small number of notable cross-cutting activities that are not specifically highlighted in any of the mission areas. For example, although pandemic influenza preparedness is considered an essential activity, it does not necessarily fit into a single homeland security mission area, and general bio-defense and preparedness activities of the Federal government encompass it. Nevertheless, the preparations we are making for pandemic influenza have a direct impact on our ability to defend against and respond to terrorist weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threats. The following table summarizes funding levels by the mission areas set forth in the 2002 National Strategy for Homeland Security ; more detailed analysis is provided in subsequent mission-specific analysis sections. Table 3–3. Intelligence and Warning The Intelligence and Warning mission area covers activities to detect terrorist threats and disseminate terrorist-threat information. This 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, 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 2009, funding for intelligence and warning is distributed between DHS (53 percent), primarily in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis; DOJ (43 percent), primarily in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); and other Intelligence Community members (4 percent). The 2009 funding for intelligence and warning activities is 12.2 percent above the 2008 level.

As established by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) of 2004, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) ensures that this office is setting collection and analysis priorities that are consistent with the National Intelligence Strategy. This strategy calls for the integration of both the domestic and foreign dimensions of U.S. intelligence so that there are no gaps in our understanding of threats to the homeland. In accordance with the IRTPA’s requirements for the Information Sharing Environment (ISE), the DNI is also ensuring that information sharing takes place in an environment where access to terrorism information is matched to the roles, responsibilities, and missions of all the organizations across the intelligence community. These changes 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. The DNI, in conjunction with the Homeland Security Council (HSC) and relevant Federal agencies, has established the ISE Implementation Plan and ISE Privacy Guidelines in accordance with a Presidential directive in December 2005, which outlined new guidelines and protocols for improving information sharing between Federal, State, local, and foreign governments and the private sector. The 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. NCTC serves as the primary organization in the U.S. Government 3. HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING ANALYSIS for analyzing and integrating all intelligence pertaining to terrorism and counterterrorism (except purely domestic terrorism) and the central and shared knowledge bank on known and suspected terrorists and international terror groups. It also ensures 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 with coordinating counterterrorism operational planning on a global basis and developing strategic, operational plans for the Global War on Terrorism. The NCTC, with guidance from the National Security Council and the HSC, has created the first National Implementation Plan for the Global War on Terrorism, which will further consolidate the U.S. Government’s efforts on the Global War on Terrorism. The DNI and the NCTC work to utilize the unique assets and capabilities of other Government agencies and interagency groups—some of which are reorganizing to improve these capabilities and better interface with the new intelligence structure. As such, the NCTC allocates requirements to the agencies with the assets and capabilities to address them. In addition, NCTC has formed a new core staff of analysts drawn from multiple intelligence agencies. This variety ensures that NCTC can access the Intelligence Community’s full breadth of knowledge and complement the activities of individual agencies. Despite the addition of this new permanent planning staff, NCTC will not undertake direct operations but will continue to leave mission execution with the appropriate agencies. This separation ensures that agencies’ chains of command remain intact and prevent potentially excessive micromanagement of counterterrorism missions. Taken together, the creation of the NCTC and recent legislation and executive orders will ensure counterterrorism intelligence and warning assets are better allocated and more tightly coordinated, leading to improved intelligence for homeland security. Over the past seven years, the FBI has developed its intelligence capabilities and improved its ability to protect the American people from threats to national security. It has built on its established capacity to collect information and enhanced its ability to analyze, disseminate and utilize intelligence. The percentage of the FBI’s finished intelligence reports that were responsive to National Intelligence Priority Framework topics (which is a measure of how responsive the program is to the U.S. Intelligence Community’s collection requirements) increased from 79 percent in 2005 to 92 percent in 2007. In 2007, 33 percent of human sources that the FBI obtained information from reported on Tier 1 threat groups, which is composed of entities with high intentions to harm the homeland and moderate or strong links with al-Qa’ida. Furthermore, the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center has significantly increase the number of positive encounters (database hits) with subjects through multiple Federal screening processes 23 from approximately 5,300 hits in 2004 to over 21,000 in 2007. The President’s 2009 Budget supports the FBI’s priorities and its continuing transformation by providing the resources needed to enhance its national security capabilities and improve supporting information technology and infrastructure. These initiatives will increase the number of agents and specialists working national security cases; enhance intelligence collection, systems, and training; improve information technology (IT) systems that reduce paperwork and facilitate information sharing; and expand partnerships with Federal, state, local and foreign agencies, as well as the private sector. Among the intelligence-related enhancements in the 2009 budget are $26 million for the confidential human source validation program, $25 million for foreign language translation programs and $10 million for technical collections. As a result of the Department of Homeland Security’s 2006 reorganization (Second Stage Review), a new Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) was established to strengthen intelligence functions and information sharing within DHS. I&A gathers information to analyze terrorist threats to critical infrastructure, transportation systems, or other targets inside the homeland. Led by the DHS Chief Intelligence Officer reporting directly to the Secretary, this office not only relies on personnel from the former Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection Directorate, but also draws on the expertise of other DHS components with information collection and analytical capabilities. For example, improved coordination and information sharing between border agents, air marshals, and intelligence analysts deepens the Department’s understanding of terrorist threats. By maintaining and expanding its partnership with the NCTC, DHS will better coordinate its activities with other members within the intelligence community and the DNI. I&A also serves as the focal point for disseminating homeland security information to State and local entities. For example, I&A is connected to homeland security directors and intelligence analysts of States, counties, and territories through the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) and it is deploying the Homeland Security Data Network (HSDN) to them as well, with over 18 State and Local Fusion Centers already able to access DHS secret-level classified systems through HSDN. All 50 States and major urban areas are connected to HSIN, and it is being rolled out to major counties as well. Furthermore, in recognition of the limitations of virtual interactions through electronic communications networks, beginning in 2006, I&A has begun deploying liaisons and intelligence analysts to State and Local Intelligence Fusion Centers across the Nation to improve the flow and quality of homeland security information to State, local and private sector partners and ensure a more accurate situational awareness for DHS and its Federal partners. In 2007, DHS disseminated a total of 355 intelligence products to its Federal, State, local, tribal, and private sector partners. 24 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Border and Transportation Security 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 ($23 billion, or 89 percent, in 2009) is in DHS, largely for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the U.S Coast Guard. Other DHS bureaus and other Federal Departments, such as the Departments of State and Justice, also play a significant role. The President’s 2009 request would increase funding for border and transportation security activities by 15.4 percent over the 2008 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 layered 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 allowed for unification of the Federal Government’s major border and transportation security resources, which 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. The 2009 Budget provides approximately $9.5 billion for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) including nearly $500 million in funding for 2,200 new Border Patrol agents. The President has committed to more than doubling the size of the Border Patrol to 18,300 agents before he leaves office and obtaining funding for an additional 1,700 by the end of 2009. At the start of the President’s administration, there were approximately 9,000 Border Patrol agents. Table 3–4. To further gain control of our borders, the Budget also continues funding for technology and infrastructure along the border. In September of 2006, DHS awarded a contract to implement the technological and infrastructure component of its Secure Border Initiative (SBI) effort, SBInet. SBInet will concentrate on using proven, technology to significantly improve the availability of information and tools to Border Patrol agents so they can better detect, identify, classify and confront illegal border activity by those who pose a threat to the United States. The Budget includes $775 million for this priority. This investment will support smarter and more secure borders. The Administration has effectively ended the practice of ‘‘catch and release’’ along the northern and southern borders. Non-Mexican illegal aliens apprehended at the border are now detained and then returned to their home countries as quickly as possible and all non-criminal Mexican illegal aliens apprehended are returned to Mexico immediately. The 2009 Budget includes $2.6 billion in detention and removal resources to continue this success and supports a total of 33,000 detention beds across the country to house illegal aliens apprehended by DHS. To improve coordination and provide assistance to State and local law enforcement officials, the Budget will expand a successful Federal/State and local partnership—the 287(g) program, which provides State/local law enforcement officials with guidance and training in immigration law, subject to the direction of the Secretary of Homeland Security. The 2009 Budget includes an increase of $12 million for the 287(g) program and the Law Enforcement Support Center, including the training of State and local law enforcement officers, detention beds for apprehended illegal aliens, and personnel to assist state and local law enforcement when they encounter aliens. Key to the Federal Government’s screening of international visitors is the US-VISIT program, which is designed to expedite the clearance of legitimate travelers while identifying and denying clearance to those who may intend harm. US-VISIT previously collected two digital fingerprints and a digital photograph of all foreign visitors entering the United States.

HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING ANALYSIS the number of biometric watch list hits for travelers processed at U.S. ports of entry exceeded 6,000, and the number of hits for visa applicants at consular offices exceeded 4,000. In November 2007, US-VISIT introduced technology to collect 10 fingerprints from arriving foreign visitors with the plan to roll-out 10-print collection to 8 more ports soon. In order to ensure that US-VISIT has full coverage of all potential visitors to the United States, all U.S. ports of entry will transition to collecting 10 fingerprints by the end of 2008. The 2009 Budget includes $390 million to support the increased system infrastructure and continue the progress toward interoperability with the FBI’s fingerprint system, the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS). In order to further improve aviation security, in 2009, the Administration will devote nearly $6.0 billion to the multi-layered, risk-based aviation security system, including: $3 billion for over 48,000 Transportation Security Officers and technologies to screen passengers and their baggage for weapons and explosives. TSA will continue to provide specialized training in the detection of suspicious behaviors, fraudulent documents, and improvised explosive devices, $131 million for enhancements at passenger checkpoints to improve the detection of prohibited items, especially weapons and explosives, through the use of additional sensors such as whole body imaging, liquid bottle scanners, automated explosive sampling, and cast and prosthesis scanners; and nearly $100 million for air cargo security inspectors, canine teams, and the Certified Shipper Program to achieve 100 percent screening of passenger air cargo in 2010. The Budget will also recapitalize checked baggage screening devices and accelerate deployment of inline systems that will increase baggage throughput by up to 300 percent. The President’s Budget proposes a temporary, four-year surcharge on the passenger security fee of $0.50 per enplanement with a maximum increase of $1.00 per one-way trip. The additional fee collections of $426 million would be deposited in the mandatory Aviation Security Capital Fund to accelerate the deployment of optimal checked baggage screening systems and address the need to recapitalize existing equipment deployed immediately after September 11, 2001. In the area of surface transportation security, TSA assessed approximately 37 percent of national critical surface transportation assets or systems in pipeline, maritime, mass transit, rail, highway, motor carrier, and postal shipping sectors in 2007 and continues to provide assistance to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in its review of infrastructure protection grant applications. In 2009, TSA will devote over $375 million for surface transportation security, including funding for nearly 100 inspectors to conduct risk-based assessments in the largest mass transit and rail systems. Safeguarding 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 25 of all U.S. cargo passing through the Nation’s 361 ports, a terrorist attack on a major seaport could slow the movement of goods and be economically devastating to the nation. 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 2009, the Coast Guard will continue to ensure compliance with MTSA port and vessel security standards and regulations. The 2009 Budget provides nearly $3 billion for port security across DHS, primarily for Coast Guard port security activities such as Maritime Safety and Security Teams and harbor patrols. In addition, the Coast Guard’s 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. In 2007, Congress passed P.L. 109–347, the SAFE Port Act, which requires enhanced screening of cargo bound for the Unites States, among other port security measures. In addition, port operators are eligible for grants to fund security enhancements under DHS’ Infrastructure Protection Program (IPP) which falls under the Infrastructure Protection mission area. The Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs is the second largest contributor to border and transportation security. The Department’s Border Security Program includes visa, passport, American Citizen Services and International Adoption programs. For foreign visitors that require a visa, the Department of State collects the visitor’s biometric and biographic data, which is then checked against U.S. government databases, thereby improving the ability to make a visa determination. When the visitor arrives in the United States, US-VISIT procedures allow DHS to determine whether the person applying for entry is the same person who was issued the visa by the Department of State. This and additional database checks improve the ability of DHS to make admissibility decisions. In addition, the Department of State will continue to respond to demand for secure travel documents that will be required by the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. Under this initiative, United States citizens and foreign visitors traveling to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Canada or Mexico will be required to have a passport or standardized travel card that establishes the bearer’s identity and nationality to enter or re-enter the United States. The initiative will improve security at our borders by standardizing entry and exit information and increasing the ability of Government agencies to work together. Furthermore, the President’s 2009 request significantly increases funding for the Department of State’s border security program to Mexico for the purchase of x-ray systems to inspect trucks and trains, a mobile x-ray van, patrol vehicles, cameras, fences, and training and systems support to Mexican customs and immigration officials. 26 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Domestic Counterterrorism Funding in the Domestic Counterterrorism mission area covers Federal and Federally-supported efforts to identify, thwart, and prosecute terrorists in the United Table 3–5. States. The largest contributors to the domestic counterterrorism mission are law enforcement organizations: the DOJ (largely for the FBI) and DHS (largely for ICE), accounting for 52.7 and 45.5 percent of funding for 2009, respectively.

The major requirements addressed in the domestic counterterrorism mission area include: • Developing a proactive law enforcement capability to prevent terrorist attacks; • Apprehending potential terrorists; and • Improving law enforcement cooperation and information sharing to enhance domestic counterterrorism efforts across all levels of government. The President’s 2009 Budget supports the FBI’s top strategic priority: to protect the United States from terrorist attacks. FBI continues to build its counterterrorism capabilities post-9/11. Over the past seven years, FBI has shifted resources to counterterrorism from lower priority programs, hired and trained additional field investigators, enhanced science and technology capabilities, and strengthened headquarters oversight of the counterterrorism program. In 2007, the FBI reported over 3,600 State and local law enforcement participants in its Joint Terrorism Task Forces that are found all across the nation. Overall, FBI resources in the domestic counterterrorism category have increased from $0.9 billion in 2002 to $2 billion in 2009. Among the largest 2009 initiatives for enhancing counterterrorism capabilities are $28 million for national security field investigations, $28 million for surveillance operations, and $16 million for the Weapons of Mass Destruction Directorate. ICE works to deter and dismantle terrorist groups, individuals, and companies involved in the illegal procurement and movement of weapons of mass destruction and their materials and components. ICE National Security Investigations personnel work closely with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces to utilize the collective resources of the partici- pating agencies for the prevention, deterrence, and investigation of terrorism and related activities occurring in or affecting the United States. 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 critical infrastructure and key assets is a complex challenge for two reasons: (1) the diversity of infrastructure and (2) the high level of private ownership (85 percent) of the Nation’s critical infrastructure and key assets. DOD continues to report the largest share of funding in this category for 2009 ($12 billion, or 59.8 percent), which includes programs focusing on physical security and improving the military’s ability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of attacks against departmental personnel and facilities. DHS has overall responsibility for prioritizing and executing infrastructure protection activities at the national level and accounts for $3.8 billion (18.7 percent) of 2009 funding. In addition, a total of 25 other agencies report funding to protect their own assets and work with States, localities, and the private sector to reduce vulnerabilities in their areas of expertise. The President’s 2009 request increases funding for activities to protect critical infrastructure and key assets by $238 million (1.2 percent) over the 2008 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 an accurate assessment of America’s critical infrastructure and key assets and prioritizing protective action based on risk; 27 3.

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD7), signed in December 2003, established a national policy to protect critical infrastructure and key resources from attack, to ensure the delivery of essential goods and services, and to maintain public safety and security. Under HSPD-7, DHS is responsible for coordinating Federal critical infrastructure programs and working closely with State and local governments and the private sector to aligning protection efforts. To provide the overall framework to integrate various critical infrastructure protection activities, DHS developed the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). The plan’s risk-management approach provides the framework for government and industry to work together on common protective goals, while focusing resources where they are needed the most. Recognizing that each infrastructure sector possesses it own unique characteristics, HSPD-7 also designated sector-specific agencies to coordinate infrastructure protection efforts within each sector. As a result, each of the 17 sectors developed a Sector Specific Plan (SSP) as part of the NIPP process. These plans build on the base NIPP plan and establish partnership models through which public and private sector security partners will work together to collect infrastructure information, prioritize assets and protective programs, and develop metrics to inform future initiatives. DHS recently reorganized and combined its preparedness and response functions to fulfill requirements of the 2007 Homeland Security Appropriations Act. DHS also created the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD), which includes offices that were omitted from the transfer to FEMA by statute. These offices, which focus on physical and cyber infrastructure protection, as well as other major security initiatives, will be part of the newly created NPPD. The Office of Infrastructure Protection (IP) within NPPD oversees NIPP implementation and is responsible for managing and prioritizing infrastructure protection at the national level. IP conducts site visits and assessments each year on critical infrastructure and provides sector-specific threat and vulnerability information to the private sector in partnership with DHS Intelligence and Analysis. In 2007, IP also took on the responsibility for implementing DHS’ chemical facility security regulations, which ensure our nation’s chemical facilities meet risk-based performance standards for security. The 2009 Budget provides $273 million for these activities. In conjunction with funding for the Office of Infrastructure Protection, the Infrastructure Protection Program (IPP) within FEMA consists of five grant programs funding security enhancement projects in and around transportation assets and other critical infrastructure sites. Awarded through the Office of Grants and Training, IPP grants supplement State and local infrastructure security efforts, especially detection and prevention investments. Cyberspace security is a key element of infrastructure protection. The consequences of a cyber attack could cascade across the economy, imperiling public safety and national security. To address this threat, DHS established the National Cyber Security Division (NCSD) in 2003—in response to the President’s National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace—in order to identify, analyze and reduce cyber threats and vulnerabilities, coordinate incident response, and provide technical assistance. NCSD works collaboratively with public, private, and international entities to secure cyberspace and America’s cyber assets. NCSD also manages the U.S. Computer Emergency Response Team (US-CERT), which coordinates defense against and responds to cyber attacks across the nation. US-CERT deploys ‘‘Einstein’’ intrusion detection sensors on Federal networks and oper- 28 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES ates a cyber watch, warning, and analysis center to provide real-time alerts to Federal departments and agencies, State and local governments, and the private sector. The 2009 budget expands US-CERT analytic capabilities and defensive measures to ensure information on our Federal networks is secure. To support these critical preparedness activities, the Budget includes $294 million for the NCSD in 2009. Moreover, the Budget includes an additional $39 million for the FBI’s cyber security activities in 2009. Defending Against Catastrophic Threats The Defending Against Catastrophic Threats mission area covers activities including research, development, Table 3–7. and deployment of technologies, systems, and medical measures to detect and counter the threat of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons. The agencies with the most significant resources to help develop and field technologies to counter CBRN threats are: (1) DOD ($5 billion, or 55.5 percent, of the 2009 total); (2) HHS, largely for research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and for advanced development of medical countermeasures ($2.2 billion, or 24.5 percent, of the 2009 total); and (3) DHS ($1.2 billion, or 13.7 percent, of the 2009 total). The President’s 2009 request would increase funding for activities to defend against catastrophic threats by $777 million (8.6 percent) over the 2008 level.

To protect against a nuclear or radiological weapon entering the country, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) was created in 2005 within DHS to coordinate the Nation’s nuclear detection efforts. DNDO, together with the Departments of State, Energy, Defense, and Justice, is responsible for developing and deploying a comprehensive system to detect and report any attempt to import a nuclear explosive device or radiological material into the United States. With an additional 154 radiation portal monitors for screening cargo deployed to the Nation’s largest seaports, DNDO, in 2007, screened over 94% of incoming cargo containers (by volume) to the United States for dangerous radio- active materials. DNDO is also 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 2009 Budget includes $564 million for DNDO, a 16 percent increase from the 2008 level. In 2009, DNDO will invest $113 million in transformational research and development aimed at enhancing our ability to detect, identify, and attribute nuclear and radiological materials. This research looks beyond current capabilities and seeks to find new scientific tools and methodologies that may prove useful in broad efforts to focus the Nation’s resources toward countering the threat of nuclear and radiological devices. DNDO’s budget also includes $170 million for the deployment of both fixed and mobile radiation portal monitors at strategic points of entry throughout the country. An additional $20 million will be used to improve the detection of radiological and nuclear materials in and around the Nation’s major urban areas. 29 3. HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING ANALYSIS Together with overseas non-proliferation efforts led by the Department of State, and overseas detection capabilities managed by the Department of Energy, these programs seek to create a seamless approach toward preventing terrorists anywhere in the world from acquiring, transporting, or introducing these materials into the United States. To counter the threat of CBRN weapons, the Budget continues to invest in efforts to decrease the time between an attack and implementation of Federal, State and local response protocols. 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. DHS will therefore continue to support efforts such as 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, thereby allowing the distribution of life-saving treatment and preventative measures before the development of serious and widespread illnesses. A key element in defending against catastrophic threats 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. The Budget continues HHS’ investment in developing medical countermeasures to CBRN threats with $2.1 billion in funding, which is more than $2.0 billion over the level prior to 9/11 (this includes funding for programs focused on chemical and radiological and nuclear countermeasures referenced below). For 2009, the Budget includes $275 million for the advanced development of medical countermeasures against threats of bioterrorism and next generation ventilators. Large investments in basic research of medical countermeasures at HHS have helped create multiple promising products to protect the public against the Table 3–8. threat of a terrorist attack. These investments will accelerate the development of these products to help Project BioShield acquire them more quickly for inclusion in the Strategic National Stockpile. HHS will also continue to improve human health surveillance with $100 million dedicated to biosurveilance activities, including the BioSense program (allowing local, State, and national public health authorities to monitor ‘‘real-time’’ trends in data from hospitals, emergency departments, and laboratories to identify and characterize potential human health threats), and augmenting the number and quality of border health and quarantine stations. HHS will enhance its internal biodefense and emergency preparedness activities with $131 million, to include an expansion of the laboratory response network capability and capacity to test for radiological and nuclear material exposure. The Food and Drug Administration and the 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. DOD defends the nation against catastrophic threats by undertaking long-term research on chemical and biological threats and by developing strategies to counter the risk of such attacks. DOD’s efforts in maritime defense and interdiction provide early detection and response to possible CBRN threats. DOD also conducts anti-terrorism planning to defend against a potential CBRN or other terrorist attack against a military base or installment. Finally, the U.S. Northern Command, the military command responsible for DOD’s homeland defense activities, is included in this category. Emergency Preparedness and Response The Emergency Preparedness and Response mission area covers agency efforts to bolster capabilities nationwide to prevent and protect against terrorist attacks, and also minimize the damage from attacks through effective response and recovery. The mission area encompasses a broad range of agency incident manage- EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE FUNDING (Budget authority, in millions of dollars) Agency 2007 Enacted 2007 Supplemental/ Emergency 2008 Enacted 2008 Supplemental/ Emergency 2009 Request Department of Defense ..........................................

Response to natural disasters and other major incidents, including catastrophic natural events such as Hurricane Katrina and chemical or oil spills, do not directly fall within the definition of a homeland security activity for funding purposes, as defined by Section 889 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002. However, in preparing for terrorism-related threats, many of the activities within this mission area also support preparedness for catastrophic natural and man-made disasters. Additionally, lessons learned from the response to Hurricane Katrina have been used to revise and strengthen catastrophic response planning in line with the National Response Framework. HHS, the largest participant in this mission area ($2 billion, or 40.7 percent, in 2009), assists States, localities and hospitals to upgrade public health capacity, maintains a national stockpile of medicines and vaccines for use following an event, and supports the National Disaster Medical System. DHS maintains the second largest share of funding in this category ($1.8 billion, or 35.7 percent, for 2009), mainly for preparedness grant assistance to State and local first responders. A total of 23 other agencies include emergency preparedness and response funding. A number of agencies maintain specialized response assets that may be called upon in select circumstances, and others report only funding for their agency’s internal preparedness capability. 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 the National Preparedness Guidelines 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; and • 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-hazards National Response Plan. The National Incident Management System was simultaneously developed to integrate a standardized Incident Command System throughout Federal, State and local response agencies and organizations. Recently, the National Response Plan was substantially revised as the National Response Framework to provide clear national response doctrine and incorporate lessons learned from ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Hurricane Katrina. Additionally, the publication of the National Preparedness Guidelines provides a consistent framework for guiding Federal, State, and local investments. In order to ensure that these investments translate into improvements in preparedness, we must continue to identify capability gaps and improve prevention, protection, response and recovery capabilities at all levels of government. A related challenge is ensuring that investments in State and local preparedness are focused on building and enhancing national capabilities, and not simply supplanting day-to-day operating budgets. DHS is leading an interagency effort to better match Federal resources with achieving national target capabilities. From 2001 through 2008, the Federal Government has allocated over $30 billion in State and local terrorism preparedness funding from the Departments of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and Justice, and the Environmental Protection Agency, increasing spending from an annual level of approximately $350 million in 2001 to over $3.1 billion in the 2009 request. The funding growth has been directed to Federal programs and grant assistance which support State and local preparedness and response activities, including equipping, training and exercising first responders, and preparing the public health infrastructure, for a range of terrorist threats. In addition, to supplement available State and local assistance for public safety communications interoperability, the Department of Commerce, in consultation with DHS, awarded up to $1 billion to qualified applicants for this purpose in 2007 from anticipated spectrum auction receipts. The Federal Government has taken steps to rationalize and simplify the distribution of State and local assistance; better target funds based on risk and effectiveness; and develop and implement the seven national priorities and 37 target capabilities identified in the National Preparedness Guidelines. As a result, the percent of participating State and local homeland security agencies and major urban area grant recipients reporting measurable progress made towards identified goals and objectives to prevent and respond to terrorist attacks increased to approximately 67 percent and 64 percent, respectively, in 2007. The 2009 Budget provides over $150 million for DHS programs which train and exercise first responders in preparation for catastrophic events including the National Exercise Program, the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium, the Center for Domestic Preparedness, the U.S. Fire Administration, and the Emergency Management Institute. In 2007, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) within DHS reported that 72 percent of assisted jurisdictions demonstrated acceptable performance on applicable critical tasks in exercises using approved scenarios. To continue this positive trend, the 2009 Budget also provides grants which support coordinated terrorism preparedness training, exercises, and equipment for State and local responders across the various responder disciplines. The 2009 request includes nearly $1.5 billion 31 3. HOMELAND SECURITY FUNDING ANALYSIS for terrorism preparedness grants to be administered by FEMA and proposes to continue current progress on 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, $20 million for FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue teams, $53 million for the National Disaster Medical System, 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 order to ensure that the nation is prepared for dealing with a biological attack, the Administration continues to make significant investments in medical countermeasures through Project BioShield. 4 While the stockpiling of medical countermeasures is the primary goal, BioShield is also 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 that they are safe and effective enough to be added to the Strategic National Stockpile. As a result, this program also provides an incentive for the development and manufacturing of advanced countermeasures, ensuring that new and improved countermeasures will be available in the future. The Budget includes $571 million to maintain and augment this 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 includes funding for storage and maintenance of products purchased through BioShield. Finally, HHS has the lead role in preparing public health providers for catastrophic terrorism. In addition to providing additional funding to expand HHS’s public health and medical response capabilities, including disaster medical assistance, the 2009 Budget also provides nearly $362 million to continue improvements for hospital infrastructure and $571 million for upgrades to State and local public health capacity. In 2009, HHS intends to align the grant cycles with the States’ fiscal year. Taking this one-time change into account, the 2009 funding is a $25 million increase over 2008. This investment will bring the total assistance provided by HHS to States, local governments and health care providers since 2001 to over $9 billion. Non-Federal Expenditures 5 State and local governments and private-sector firms also have devoted resources of their own to the task 4 BioShield is a shared responsibility, joining the intelligence capabilities of DHS with the medical expertise of HHS. 5 OMB does not collect detailed homeland security expenditure data from State, local, or private entities directly. 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 infrastructure; some additional spending has been ongoing, such as hiring more personnel, and increasing overtime for existing security personnel. In many cases, ownsource spending has supplemented the resources provided by the Federal Government. Many governments and businesses continue to place a high priority on and provide additional resources for security. On the other hand, many entities have not increased their spending. A 2004 survey conducted by the National Association of Counties 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. Own-source resources supplemented funds provided by States and the Federal Government. However, the same survey revealed that 54 percent of counties had not used any of their own funds. 6 There is also a diversity of responses in the businesses community. A 2003 survey conducted by the Conference Board showed that 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 onethird of the surveyed companies reported that they had not increased their security spending after September 11th. 7 Given the difficulty of obtaining survey results that are representative of the entire universe of States, localities, and businesses, it is expected that there will be a wide range of estimates on non-Federal security spending for critical infrastructure protection.

STRENGTHENING FEDERAL STATISTICS Federal statistical programs produce key information to inform public and private decision makers about a range of topics of interest, 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 improve these measures of our Nation’s performance. For example, during 2007, Federal statistical agencies (i) published prototype estimates of Gross Domestic Product by metropolitan area for 2001–2005, which can be used to determine the overall size and growth of metropolitan economies, to assess the impacts of natural or man-made disasters on cities, and to analyze comparative industrial growth across metropolitan America (Bureau of Economic Analysis); (ii) developed a website that presents recent trends in mortality in State prisons, local jails, and State juvenile correctional facilities (Bureau of Justice Statistics); (iii) expanded coverage of the Producer Price Index to over 70 percent of services output, by publishing new service sector indexes for management consulting, blood banks, computer training schools, and machinery and equipment repair (Bureau of Labor Statistics); (iv) developed an innovative software tool, called GeoMiler, to compute likely transportation routes more efficiently for the nearly 6 million freight shipments reported in the Com- modity Flow Survey (Bureau of Transportation Statistics); (v) completed street features in the Decennial Census geographic database for 737 additional counties, bringing the total completed to about 90 percent of all 3,232 counties in the United States and Puerto Rico (Census Bureau); (vi) launched two new Internet gateways for State Energy Profiles and Country Energy Profiles (Energy Information Administration); (vii) enhanced representation of the Nation’s socially disadvantaged and minority farm operators in the Census of Agriculture (National Agricultural Statistics Service); and (viii) offered significantly more timely access to National Health Interview Survey data on the Internet (National Center for Health Statistics). For Federal statistical programs to benefit effectively their 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 data. As the collectors and providers of these basic statistics, the responsible 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 use to assess their performance and presents highlights of their 2009 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 a 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 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 dimensions of accuracy and timeliness that are most amenable to quantitative measurement. 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 being spent most effectively? Are products being 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 were historically less well developed than those for product quality, but nearly all principal statistical agencies have now devel- 37 38 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Chart 4-1.

Dissemination: Qualitative or quantitative information on the availability, accessibility, and distribution of products and services.

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. With the exception of cost indicators, where one agency (NCHS) is still planning its measure, each ICSP agency has now developed performance measures for all six dimensions. Use of the indicators may be for internal management, strategic planning, or annual performance reporting. The dimensions shown in the chart re- 4. STRENGTHENING FEDERAL STATISTICS flect 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 provide 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. 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’’ 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 or 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 and validity of their products, and encourage data users and other stakeholders to contribute to the agencies’ 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, link- 39 ages 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 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; 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 statis- 40 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES tical 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; it also addresses the linkage between statistical outputs and programmatic outcomes. 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. However, identifying this linkage is far from straightforward. It is frequently difficult to trace the effects of information products on the public 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, statistics produced by Federal 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. 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. Moreover, beyond the direct and focused uses of statistical products, the statistical agencies and their programs 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 decision-making 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.

All but one 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, in 2004 EIA received an initial rating of ‘‘Results Not Demonstrated’’ for two key reasons, both of which have since been rectified. At the time of the evaluation, EIA had re- 4. 41 STRENGTHENING FEDERAL STATISTICS cently adopted new performance measures and lacked necessary historical baselines and future targets; these now exist for all measures. EIA was also critiqued for having no recurring independent evaluation of its entire program. EIA recruited an energy expert from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to select and lead a team to conduct such an evaluation, and the team completed its report in 2006. EIA management accomplished one of the team’s recommendations in 2007 by obtaining Principal Economic Indicator status for the Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report and is implementing several of the team’s other recommendations as part of its strategic planning process. As additional ICSP agency programs 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 2009 Program Budget Proposals The programs that provide essential statistical information for use by governments, businesses, researchers, and the public are carried out by more than 70 agencies spread across every department and several independent agencies. Excluding cyclical funding for the Decennial Census, nearly 40 percent of the total budget for these programs provides resources for 13 agencies or units that have statistical activities as their principal mission. (Please see Table 4–1.) The remaining funding supports work in more than 60 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 2009, when it is published later this year. The following highlights elaborate on the Administration’s proposals to support the programs of the principal Federal statistical agencies. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA): Funding is requested to continue BEA’s core programs, and to: (1) extend the prototype R&D satellite account, funded by the National Science Foundation in 2006 and 2007, with annual updates and extensions to BEA’s GDP and other estimates and eventual full incorporation into the economic accounts; (2) develop a more accurate measure of the health care sector in GDP and create a supplemental, satellite account that provides detailed and specific information on the expenditures of the health care industry and the costs of treating specific diseases; and (3) ensure the continued improvement of the accuracy and relevance of BEA’s economic accounts data. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS): Funding is requested for the maintenance of BJS’ core statistical programs, including: (1) criminal victimization statistics; (2) cybercrime data on the incidence, magnitude, and consequences of electronic and computer crime to households and businesses; (3) law enforcement data from over 3,000 agencies on the organization and administration of police and sheriffs’ departments; (4) nationallyrepresentative prosecution data on resources, policies, and practices of local prosecutors; (5) court and sentencing statistics, including Federal and State case processing data; and (6) data on correctional popu- lations and facilities from Federal, State, and local governments. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS): Funding is requested to maintain BLS’ core programs, and to: 1) address the rising costs of the Current Population Survey (CPS) and avoid a reduction in the accuracy of CPS estimates both by requesting an additional appropriation and by reallocating funds within BLS through the elimination of lower-priority programs, such as the American Time Use Survey, that do not directly support Principal Federal Economic Indicators; (2) initiate continuous updating of the housing and geographic area samples in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which will improve the accuracy and timeliness of the CPI; and (3) modernize the computing systems for monthly processing of the Producer Price Index and U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS): Funding is requested to develop measures of congestion and for the maintenance of BTS’ core statistical programs, including: (1) production of data products from the 2007 Commodity Flow Survey, a major national benchmark survey of shippers; (2) release of monthly statistics on the commodities and mode of transportation used in trading with the United States’ largest partners; (3) production of a core set of economic data and indicators, including the Transportation Services Index, multi-factor productivity measures, the State Transit Expenditure Survey, and the Air Travel Price Index; (4) release of the National Transportation Atlas Data Base, a compendium of national geospatial transportation data; and (5) dissemination of the Transportation Statistics Annual Report and other key publications on the national transportation system. Census Bureau: Funding is requested for the Census Bureau’s ongoing economic and demographic programs and for a re-engineered 2010 Census.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT At a record $147 billion in the President’s 2009 Budget, Federal research and development (R&D) comprises one out of every seven dollars funded in the discretionary budget and 5 percent of total government spending. This substantial investment in the quest for new knowledge and future discovery will enhance U.S. economic strength, national security, and world leadership by building innovation capacity through a worldclass science and technology research enterprise and a high-quality scientific and technical education infrastructure. The relationship between support for science and economic growth is well documented. Investments in basic research lead to knowledge breakthroughs that fuel innovation, drive productivity, grow the economy, and improve our understanding of the world. Economists estimate that as much as half of post-World War II economic growth is directly due to technological progress fueled by R&D. Economic payoffs from research come in the form of process and product innovations that reduce the costs of production, lower product prices, and result in new and better products and services. Consumers ultimately benefit from less expensive, higher quality and more useful products and services. Today’s transforming technologies and most popular consumer items have deep roots in basic and applied research. Under this Administration, Federal R&D is being increased 61 percent, from $91 billion in 2001 to the $147 billion in this year’s request. To sustain the nation’s economic competitiveness, the President, in his 2006 State of the Union address, presented a longterm vision to strengthen Federal support for the Nation’s innovation enterprise in an integrated package of investments and policies called the American Competitiveness Initiative (ACI). President Bush remains firmly committed to the fulfillment of that vision and seeks to continue that implementation of the ACI in the 2009 Budget. Chart 5-1. American Competitiveness Initiative Research Dollars in billions 20 American Competitiveness Initiative NIST Core DOE Office of Science 15 NSF 10 5 0 I. THE AMERICAN COMPETITIVENESS INITIATIVE The President’s 2009 Budget maintains a strong commitment to invest in basic research areas that advance knowledge and technologies used by scientists in nearly every field. Through the ACI, the President plans to double, over 10 years, investment in innovation-ena- bling research at three Federal agencies—the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Science, and the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) laboratories. 45 46 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES In 2009, the third year of the ACI, President Bush proposes $12.2 billion total for NSF, DOE’s Office of Science, and NIST laboratories, an overall funding increase of $1.6 billion, or 15 percent, above the 2008 enacted total of $10.6 billion. Unfortunately, the 2008 omnibus appropriations bill drastically cut proposed ACI research increases, funding only one-third of the President’s requested increase. In addition, Congress directed over half of the enacted increase ($207 million of a total $408 million increase) to earmarks and an unrequested new grants program. Chart 5-2. 2008 ACI Research Funding Increase in funding above 2007 in millions of dollars 700 President's Request 600 Enacted ACI Funding Earmarks and Unrequested Grants 500 400 300 200 100 0 NSF DOE Science This outcome greatly impairs the Administration’s efforts to strengthen long-term economic competitiveness through support for innovation-enabling basic research in the physical sciences and engineering. President Bush’s call for doubling of these research levels had been roundly supported by business and academic lead- NIST ers and embraced by Congress when it enacted the bipartisan America COMPETES Act (Public Law 110–69). The President’s Budget continues funding for ACI research on its doubling path to ensure this consensus national priority objective is realized. 47 5. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research Agencies in the American Competitiveness Initiative The National Science Foundation is the primary source of support for academic research in the physical sciences, funding basic research in areas such as nanotechnology, advanced networking and information technology, physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, and engineering. It also is well regarded for funding nearly all of its research through a competitive, peer-reviewed process. The increase in NSF funding will support many more researchers, students, post-doctoral fellows and technicians contributing to the innovation enterprise. The Department of Energy’s Office of Science supports grants and infrastructure for a wide range of basic research related to economically significant innovations including nanotechnology, biotechnology, high-end computing and advanced networking, and energy technologies. The 2009 Budget increases funding for both research and cutting-edge facilities, meets the United States’ contribution to the international fusion energy project known as ITER, upgrades the nuclear physics accelerator at the Thomas Jefferson lab in Virginia, accelerates strategic basic research for electrical energy storage and an advanced nuclear fuel cycle, and reorganizes and reforms the radioisotope production and application programs within the Department. The Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) invests in technological innovation through research and standards development. These investments will improve NIST’s research capabilities by providing high performance laboratory space for diverse research fields and world-class researchers; aid the responsible development of nanotechnology manufacturing; expand NIST’s neutron facility to aid in characterizing novel materials in high-growth research fields; and improve our understanding of complex biological systems to accelerate innovations and enable investment in biosciences, including disease diagnosis and treatment. II. 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, every Federal R&D dollar must be invested as effectively as possible. R&D Investment Criteria The Administration continues to improve 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. With this in mind, the Administration is improving methods for setting priorities based on expected results, and is asking agencies to apply specific criteria that programs or projects must meet to be started or continued and supply 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 part of the President’s Management Agenda’s Performance Improvement initiative, the Administration uses 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 six years, agencies completed 1,016 PART assessments, of which 130 were for R&D programs. The results of these PART assessments may be found on the web at www.expectmore.gov. 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 programs rated Effective by the PART that have achieved what they set out to do, and programs rated Ineffective by the PART 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. 48 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Chart 5-3. Scores of R&D PART Assessments Cumulative Number of R&D PARTs 130 Total 121 Total 125 39 35 100 57 49 75 50 21 23 25 3 2 13 0 2008 Effective Moderately Effective 2009 Adequate Research Earmarks President Bush called on Congress to reform the earmark process, proposing a series of reforms that include full disclosure for each earmark and cutting the total number and cost of all earmarks by at least half. Consistent with this effort, the Administration is continuing its strong support for awarding research funds based on merit review through a competitive process refereed by scientists. Such a system has the best prospects for ensuring that the top research is supported. Research earmarks—in general the assignment of money during the legislative process for use 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. Such an alternative can be an ineffective use of taxpayer funds. Unfortunately, the practice of earmarking funds to colleges, universities, and other entities for specific research projects expanded in recent years. Some argue that earmarks help spread the research money to states or institutions that would receive less research funding through other means. However, The Chronicle of Higher Education has reported 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. 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 ‘‘out- Ineffective Results Not Demonstrated of-the-box’’ thinking. For example, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, within the Department of Defense, seeks out high-risk, high-payoff scientific proposals, the National Institutes of Health has established a similarly focused ‘‘Pioneer Award,’’ and program managers at NSF set aside a share of funding for higher-risk projects in which scientists and engineers see high potential. Earmarks for activities that are outside of an agency’s mission can detract from an efficient and effective Federal effort on behalf of taxpayers. For instance, in 2008, the Congress has directed DOD to fund research on a wide range of diseases including diabetes, autism, and muscular dystrophy. Funding for unrequested medical research projects in DOD’s budget totals about $800 million in 2008 alone. While research on these diseases is very important, these diseases are not unique to the U.S. military and the research could be better selected, 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 ensuring that the most important and promising research is chosen by medical research professionals with access to information on the most promising research opportunities. Earmarks that divert funding from a merit-based process undermine America’s research productivity. The Administration commends Congress for taking measures to protect NSF and the National Institutes of Health from this practice, a practice that should be followed throughout the R&D programs. 49 5. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT III. PRIORITIES FOR FEDERAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The 2009 Budget requests $147 billion for Federal R&D funding, which targets key research investments within agencies, in particular, the three ACI agencies: NSF, the DOE’s Office of Science, and the NIST laboratories. In addition, DOD requests $1.7 billion for basic research, $270 million more than was requested in the 2008 Budget. This increase is partially hidden by the earmarked funding included in the 2008 enacted level. (Table 5–1 provides details by agency.) Multi-Agency R&D Priorities The 2009 Budget continues to target important research investments that must be coordinated across multiple agencies. A number of these challenges are being addressed through multi-agency research efforts coordinated through the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and other interagency forums. The Administration will continue to analyze other areas of critical need that could benefit in the future from improved focus and coordination among agencies. Homeland Security R&D: A robust R&D effort continues to be a key asset in advancing technologies in support of the President’s national strategy for homeland security. The United States derives much of its ability to thwart and recover from these threats via its advantage in the realm of science and technology (S&T), and we must continue to use this advantage and encourage innovative R&D to assist in protecting and defending against the range of natural and manmade threats confronting the country. Though there have been numerous achievements over the past five years to improve the Nation’s counterterrorism capability, many challenges remain. The Administration’s annual R&D budget priorities memorandum summarizes priorities from the Administration’s homeland security strategies that should be addressed via multi-agency coordination. For example, in response to the 2007 memo, agencies: • advanced biometric capabilities as outlined in The National Biometrics Challenge, and established policy for agency adoption of biometric standards that will enable real-time, verifiable, interoperable, and privacy-protecting root identification; • improved radiation portal monitors and developed standards for technologies that detect nuclear and radioactive material before it enters the U.S.; • developed more sensitive environmental sensors to quickly detect the presence of biological or toxic agents; and • integrated modeling efforts for high consequence foreign animal diseases, including avian influenza and foot and mouth disease, to facilitate coordinated response planning and guide countermeasure R&D investments. The 2009 Budget provides continued support for these and many other interagency R&D programs, including: pursuing stand-off detection and imaging capabilities to locate and identify nuclear threat materials at a distance; improving the capability to detect and mitigate the use of improvised explosive devices in the U.S.; continuing the implementation of the 2008–2012 R&D plan for high-consequence foreign animal diseases; and accelerating the advanced development of critical medical countermeasures that do not have a pre-existing market to stimulate their development. Networking and Information Technology R&D: The Budget provides $3.6 billion for the multi-agency Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program, which plans and coordinates agency research efforts in advanced networking, cyber security, high-end computing systems, software development, high-confidence systems, information management, and other information technologies. Advances in information technology contribute both to accelerating progress in scientific research and to U.S. economic competitiveness. Federal agencies coordinate their R&D investments in the NITRD Program to avoid unnecessary duplication and to help ensure that the investments have maximum impact. The NITRD agencies focused on implementing the recommendations contained in both the Federal Plan for High-End Computing and the Federal Plan for Cyber Security and Information Assurance R&D in 2007, and will complete the Federal Plan for Advanced Networking R&D in early 2008. Also in 2007, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) issued a report reviewing the NITRD program and providing recommendations for the future. The Federal agencies are evaluating these recommendations and will begin implementation in 2008. The 2009 Budget sustains a substantial level of investment in high-end computing research for large-scale scientific and national security applications, particularly in scalable systems software and applications that can capitalize on emerging architectures based on processing units with many computational cores. The 2009 Budget also increases support for investments in innovative research in both cyber security and advanced networking R&D that have the potential to transform the Internet into a more secure and reliable interconnected network to support both commerce and highspeed data transfers for scientific applications. Reports and general information about NITRD are available at www.nitrd.gov/. Nanotechnology R&D: The Budget provides $1.5 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 are already leading to breakthroughs in disease detection and treatment, manufacturing at or near the nanoscale level, environmental monitoring and protection, energy production and storage, and creating electronic devices that have even greater capabilities than those available today. Re- 50 search opportunities cover a similarly broad spectrum. Advances that will be foundational for all aspects of nanotechnology R&D in particular include: instrumentation for characterizing nanoscale materials in the laboratory, in the body, and in the environment; and computational research to model and predict properties at the nanoscale, for designing novel materials, and for determining their behavior under various conditions and environments. Guided by the NNI Strategic Plan, participating agencies will continue to support discovery, development and application of nanotechnology through investigator-led fundamental and applied research; multidisciplinary centers of excellence; education and training of nanotechnology researchers, teachers, workers, and the public; and infrastructure and standards development, including user facilities and networks that are broadly available to support research and innovation. 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. These activities will be appropriately coordinated with stakeholders outside of the Federal government, including industry, academia, and other governments. Agency investments in nanotechnology R&D are informed by the NSTC’s Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology Subcommittee and by outside reviews of the PCAST and the National Research Council. Reports of these Federal and non-Federal bodies help to identify and prioritize research, including in the area of environmental, health, and safety aspects of nanotechnology. Reports and general information about the NNI are available at www.nano.gov/. Climate Change R&D: The 2009 Budget for the Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) continues to support the implementation of the CCSP Strategic Plan, which was released in July 2003. The 13 departments and agencies that participate in the CCSP coordinate preparation of the budget and program implementation. During 2009, the CCSP will continue research into important physical science aspects of climate change, including scientific uncertainties and preparation of a series of Synthesis and Assessment reports. In addition, added emphasis will be placed on the impacts of climate change and the science of adaptation. Working within the overarching priorities defined in the Strategic Plan, the CCSP’s interagency coordination and integration efforts will give particular emphasis in FY 2009 to the following climate change research issues: development of an integrated earth system analysis capability; a focus toward creating a highquality record of the state of the atmosphere and ocean since 1979; development of an end-to-end hydrologic projection and application capability; enhanced carbon cycle research on high latitude systems; quantification of climate forcing and feedbacks by aerosols, non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases, water vapor, and clouds; assessment of abrupt change in a warming climate; examination of the feasibility of development an abrupt ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES change early warning system; and ecological forecasting. The program expects to receive input from the National Research Council under the terms of a continuing advisory agreement. This advice will include review of several CCSP Synthesis and Assessment Products. The CCSP will continue to track 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 2009 edition of Our Changing Planet. Reports and general information about the CCSP are available on the program’s website: www.climatescience.gov/. The Climate Change Technology Program (CCTP) continues to provide strategic direction, planning, and analysis to help coordinate and prioritize activities within the portfolio of federally funded climate change technology R&D consistent with the President’s National Climate Change Technology Initiative (NCCTI). The CCTP has published a Vision and Framework for Strategy and Planning and a Strategic Plan that outlines the program’s goals and priorities. The CCTP has also identified 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. In 2009, CCTP will continue to focus on implementing the elements of its Vision and Framework document and Strategic Plan. Reports and general information about the CCTP are available on the program’s website: www.climatetechnology.gov/. The CCSP and CCTP will continue to coordinate implementation of relevant climate change provisions in the 2005 Energy Policy Act as appropriate. Ocean Research: The 2009 Budget supports ocean and coastal research as outlined in Charting the Course for Ocean Science in the United States for the Next Decade: An Ocean Research Priorities Plan and Implementation Strategy. Developed by the NSTC’s Joint Subcommittee on Ocean Science and Technology, the plan provides a framework for an ocean observing system that will accurately describe marine conditions in real-time, enhance our capability to forecast ocean processes, and provide scientific support for ecosystembased management. These three overarching goals will maintain U.S. leadership in ocean technology and enhance U.S. competitiveness. These goals are supported by 20 national ocean research priorities, established with extensive community input and oriented around the most compelling societal issues. The Joint Subcommittee on Ocean Science and Technology will coordinate multi-agency research into key aspects of the oceans, coasts and Great Lakes and work closely with the other coordinating bodies of the President’s Ocean Action Plan. Biomass R&D: The Biomass R&D Act of 2000 established the Biomass R&D Board to guide interagency coordination and bring coherence to Federal strategic planning on biomass-related issues. The Board is com- 51 5. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT pleting an interagency coordination and planning document that will be reviewed by the National Academy of Sciences. In addition to assessing the goals and plans for interagency biomass research, the Academy will be tasked with considering economic and other impacts of increased biomass utilization under various energy price and policy scenarios. Additional information on the Biomass R&D Board is available online at www.biomass.govtools.us. 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. A long-standing credit, which had provided a 20-percent tax credit for private research and experimentation expenditures above a certain base amount, expired at the end of December 2007. The Administration again proposes making the enhanced Research and Experimentation tax credit permanent starting in 2008. The proposed extension will cost $55 billion over the period from 2008 to 2013. 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. IV. 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 the Office of Management and Budget has used those or similar categories in its collection of R&D data since 1949. Basic research is systematic study directed toward a fuller knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind. Basic research, however, may include activities with broad applications 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 or understanding, directed toward the production of useful materials, devices, and systems or methods, including design, development, and 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, research satellites, detectors, and other instruments. At a minimum, this cat- egory should include programs devoted to the purchase or construction of R&D equipment. 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 5–1 shows agency-by-agency spending on basic and applied research, development, and R&D equipment and facilities. The ‘‘Federal Science and Technology’’ (FS&T) budget (shown in Table 5–2) highlights the creation of new knowledge and technologies more consistently and accurately than the overall R&D data. 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 2009 Budget requests $62 billion for FS&T. 52 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Table 5–1.

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. 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. PART I: 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 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- 57 58 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 $429.8 billion in 2007. They are estimated to increase to $482.1 billion in 2008 and $494.2 billion in 2009. Major Federal investment outlays will comprise an estimated 16 percent of total Federal outlays in 2009 and 3.3 percent of the Nation’s gross domestic product. 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 $266.1 billion in 2009. Physical investment outlays are for construction and rehabilitation, the purchase of major equipment, and the purchase or sale of land and structures. Approximately two-thirds 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 $155.0 billion in 2009. Almost all of these outlays, or an estimated $143.2 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 $35.6 billion in 2009. These outlays include $20.7 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; construction for the administration of justice programs (largely in the Department of Homeland Security); construction of office buildings by the General Services Administration; and construction for embassy security. Outlays for the acquisition of major equipment are estimated to be $14.4 billion in 2009. The largest amounts are for the air traffic control system; weather and climate monitoring in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; law enforcement activities, largely in the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation; and information systems in the Department of Veterans Affairs. Grants to State and local governments for physical investment are estimated to be $75.5 billion in 2009. Nearly three-quarters of these outlays, or $55.0 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 $139.9 billion in 2009. 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 $82.7 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 $57.3 billion in 2009. 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 can be found 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 $88.2 billion in 2009. 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 $53.8 billion in 2009, approximately three-fifths of the total. They include education programs for the disadvantaged and individuals with disabilities, training programs in the Department of Labor, Head Start, and other education programs. Direct Federal education and training outlays are estimated to be $34.4 billion in 2009. Programs in this category primarily consist of aid for higher education through student financial assistance, loan sub- 6. 59 FEDERAL INVESTMENT Table 6–1.

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 the categories for physical investment and the conduct of research and development. price support programs and other commodities. Sales are estimated to exceed purchases by $29 million in 2009. Outlays for other miscellaneous physical investment are estimated to be $2.9 billion in 2009. This category consists entirely of direct Federal outlays and includes primarily conservation programs. Miscellaneous Physical Investment 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 for the purchase or sale of agricultural products pursuant to farm 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.

In recent years there has been increased emphasis on improving the performance of Government programs. This emphasis began with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993, which requires agencies to prepare strategic plans and annual performance plans, and then report on their actual performance results 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 sixth year of using the PART, the Administration has assessed more than 1,000 programs, approximately 98 percent of the Federal budget. The PART 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 may receive 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. The funding amounts in this section are estimates from the 2007 spring update of PART programs. PART assessments of programs that are grants to State and local governments are not summarized in this chapter but are summarized in Chapter 6. 63 FEDERAL INVESTMENT 8, ‘‘Aid to State and Local Governments,’’ in this volume. This section summarizes 241 programs: • Programs for capital assets are essentially those identified in the PART system as ‘‘capital assets and service acquisition’’ (93 programs); • Programs for research and development are essentially those identified in the PART system as ‘‘research and development’’ (117 programs); and • Programs for education and training (31 programs) are primarily programs in the Department of Education (e.g., Federal Pell Grants) that are not grants to State and local governments. This category also includes programs in other agencies, such as the Montgomery GI Bill in the Depart- Table 6–3. ment 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 at www.ExpectMore.gov. Summary of ratings. Table 6–3 shows that, for the 241 investment programs that have been rated by PART, the average rating was ‘‘Moderately Effective’’. Of these programs: • 53 were rated Effective; • 82 were rated Moderately Effective; • 62 were rated Adequate; • 7 were rated Ineffective; and • 37 were rated Results Not Demonstrated.

Assessments of individual programs. The ratings of ten of the largest physical capital and education and training investment programs 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 ($13.6 billion in 2007). Rating: Moderately Effective. The purpose of this program is to enable DoD to successfully wage war in the air by developing and producing a variety of tactical fighter and strike aircraft. DoD’s management of the overall air combat program is currently based on the extensive system of regulations governing how individual acquisition programs are managed. Through these regulations DoD tracks the progress of individual programs and can hold managers accountable for their programs. DoD’s individual programs within the overall air combat program are delivering aircraft at targeted rates, but in several cases, such as the F/A–22, at greater cost than projected. Department of Defense. Navy Shipbuilding ($13.2 billion in 2007). Rating: Adequate. This program buys new 64 ships and overhauls existing ships. New ships are built at six privately-owned shipyards. Overhauls of existing ships are performed at both privately-owned and publicly-owned shipyards. The Navy currently has 280 ships in the fleet. The Navy has specific cost, schedule, and performance goals for each shipbuilding program. The Navy conducts periodic reviews of programs at major milestones of development and uses a structured reporting regime to help monitor the status of ship cost, schedule, and performance. The Navy has experienced cost increases and schedule slips on some ship construction programs, although overall performance is adequate. Department of Defense. Future Combat Systems/ Modularity Land Warfare ($10.0 billion in 2007). Rating: Moderately Effective. The Army’s complementary transformation initiatives, Modularity and the Future Combat Systems, are designed to provide regional combatant commanders and soldiers with a lighter, faster, more survivable and rapidly deployable force with which to fight and win the United States’ current and future land conflicts. Although the Future Combat Systems program is currently on schedule and on cost, the program’s long schedule, significant cost, and technological complexity put Future Combat Systems at substantial risk of cost and schedule overruns as the program moves from research and development to acquisition. Department of Defense. Missile Defense ($9.4 billion in 2007). Rating: Adequate. The mission of the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is to defend the United States, deployed forces, and allies from ballistic missile attack. MDA is researching, developing and fielding a global, integrated and multi-layered Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), comprising multiple sensors, interceptors and battle management capabilities. MDA’s strategic planning, resource allocation and management oversight activities are properly aligned to accomplish stated mission objectives. MDA budget requests and human resource management activities are explicitly tied to appropriate performance goals. MDA leaders regularly review and evaluate a wide array of performance data to inform and guide their decisionmaking. Department of Defense. Marine Corps Expeditionary Warfare. ($9.3 billion in 2007). Rating: Moderately Effective. Expeditionary warfare is the temporary use of Marine Corps force in foreign countries. The expeditionary warfare program consists of specific investment programs for aviation assets, amphibious ships, weapons systems, equipment, vehicles, ammunition, and research and development. The Department of Defense (DoD) has articulated a limited number of long-term performance measures for the expeditionary warfare program in response to an earlier assessment. DoD has identified goals related to Joint and Coalition Proficiency, Operational Reach, Force Projection, Sustainability, and Operational and Organizational Adaptability for the expeditionary warfare capability. ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Department of Defense. Rotary Wing Program ($8.8 billion in 2007). Rating: Adequate. The purpose of the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) rotary wing aircraft fleet is to develop and procure an inventory of rotary wing aircaft that provides the capabilities needed to satisfy the mission requirements of US forces. Each type of rotary wing aircraft satisfies specific mission requirements to enable US forces to respond effectively to the full spectrum of military operations. Targets and timeframes for fielding new rotary wing aircraft have been developed for all programs, and are considered ambitious in light of the engineering challenges associated with developing and building rotary wing aircraft. The heavy use of rotary wing aircraft in the Global War on Terror has increased the need to field new and upgraded aircraft as quickly as possible to support forces in theaters of operations. Tennessee Valley Authority. Tennessee Valley Authority Power ($8.8 billion in 2007). Rating: Moderately Effective. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is the Nation’s largest public power company. Through 158 locally owned distributors, TVA provides power to nearly 8.5 million residents of the Tennessee Valley. Some of TVA’s former performance measures such as cents/ KWH are no longer tracked. It is unclear how some of the new efficiency measures tracked by TVA relate to program performance. Department of Defense (DoD). Military Construction Programs ($7.5 billion in 2007). Rating: Moderately Effective. This program funds buildings, structures, utilities, and land to meet defense requirements on military installations to improve quality of life and enhance military capabilities. The military construction program spans 2,965 domestic sites and 766 overseas sites. At any given time over 1,500 projects are underway. Projects proposed for funding in the President’s Budget are selected as a result of a rigorous competitive and selective process. Each project undergoes requirement, solutions and costs analysis prior to formal programming into the Budget. The military construction program is executed by DoD construction agents—United States Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, and Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence. The program accounts for the full cost of projects, which include planning and designing a project, project costs, and supervision, inspection, and overhead of the project. Department of Defense (DoD). Airlift Program ($6.9 billion in 2007). Rating: Moderately Effective. The purpose of this program is to enable DoD to move large amounts of personnel and materiel to, and within, remote locations in short periods of time by developing and producing a variety of airlift aircraft. The program has a long-term goal of providing a strategic airlift capacity of 54.5 million ton miles per day. DoD is attempting to achieve that goal through the construction of airlift aircraft—primarily the Air Force’s C-17. The airlift investment program is nearing completion of the first phase of the C-17 program which has increased airlift capabilities. However, the program has 6. 65 FEDERAL INVESTMENT still not met its target capacity. Attainment of the inter-theater airlift capability is dependent on fielding new C-17s, retiring the aging C-141 fleet, and eventual fielding of C-5 Reliability Enhancement & Reengining Program (RERP) aircraft. Deliveries of the C-130J will increase intra-theater capabilities. Education Department of Education. Federal Pell Grants ($13.7 billion in 2007). Rating: Adequate. This program helps ensure access to postsecondary education for undergraduate students by providing need-based grants that, in combination with other sources of student aid, help meet education costs. The program also promotes lifelong learning by encouraging low-income adults to return to school. The program has meaningful performance measures and outcome data on these measures such as the degree to which Pell Grants are targeted to low-income students. New measures such as enrollment and graduation rates among low-income and minority students have also been added. The program has met its current long-term performance goals and new measures will help track other key program goals. PART III: FEDERALLY FINANCED CAPITAL STOCKS Federal investment spending creates a ‘‘stock’’ of capital that is available for future 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 R&D 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 R&D or education can be carried out by Federal or State government laboratories, universities and other nonprofit organizations, local governments, or private industry. R&D 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. Conversely, the year-to-year change in the capital stock estimates is annual net investment. 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 2007, with periods of faster growth during the late 1960s and the 1980s. The stock amounted to $2,385 billion in 2007 and is estimated to increase to $2,483 billion by 2009. In 2007, the national defense capital stock accounted for $727 billion, or 30 percent of the total, and nondefense stocks for $1,658 billion, or 70 percent of the total. 66 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Table 6–4.

Nondefense stocks have grown consistently since 1970, increasing from $470 billion in 1970 to $1,658 billion in 2007. With the investments proposed in the budget, nondefense stocks are estimated to grow to $1,698 billion in 2009. 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 a low of $631 billion in 2001 to $785 billion in 2009. 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 2007, 25 per- cent 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 40 percent since the mid-1980s. The Stock of Research and Development Capital This section presents data on the stock of research and development (R&D) 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 $1,166 billion in 2007 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 2007. 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 6. 67 FEDERAL INVESTMENT spending is heavily concentrated in applied research and development, which depreciates much more quickly 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 Table 6–5. spending for defense R&D in recent years has begun to increase the stock, and it is projected to increase to $483 billion in 2009. 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 $1,473 billion in 2007 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 1 For Total Basic Research Total Federal estimates of the total education stock, see table 13–5 in Chapter 13, ‘‘Stewardship.’’ about 3 percent of the Nation’s total education stock.1 Nearly three-quarters is for elementary and secondary education, while the remainder is for higher education. The federally financed education stock has grown steadily in the last few decades, with an average annual growth rate of 5.1 percent from 1970 to 2007. The expansion of the education stock is projected to continue under this budget, with the stock rising to $1,662 billion in 2009. 68 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Table 6–6.

CREDIT AND INSURANCE The Federal Government offers direct loans and loan guarantees to support a wide range of activities including housing, education, business and community development, and exports. At the end of 2007, there were $260 billion in Federal direct loans outstanding and $1,202 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 some other risks such as natural disasters. The Federal Government also permits certain privately owned companies, called Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), to operate under Federal charters for the purpose of enhancing credit availability for targeted sectors. GSEs increase liquidity by guaranteeing and securitizing loans, as well as by providing direct loans. In return for advancing certain social goals and possibly improving economic efficiency, GSEs enjoy various privileges, such as possible borrowing from Treasury at Treasury’s discretion, exemption from State and local income taxation, and favorable regulatory treatments of their securities. These privileges may leave observers with the impression that GSE securities are risk-free. GSEs, however, are not part of the Federal Government, and GSE securities are not federally guaranteed. By law, GSE securities carry a disclaimer of any U.S. obligation. This chapter discusses the roles of these diverse programs and assesses their effectiveness and efficiency. I. • The first section emphasizes the roles of Federal credit and insurance programs in addressing market imperfections that may prevent the private market from efficiently providing credit and insurance. Although the continued evolution and deepening of financial markets may have in part corrected many of the imperfections, Federal programs can still play a significant role in the areas where market imperfections remain serious and at the times when some adverse events disrupt the smooth functioning of the market. • The second section interprets the results of the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) for credit and insurance programs in relation to their distinguishing features. • The third section presents a special topic—the structure of financial regulation which can influence financial institutions’ competitiveness and ability to innovate. • The fourth section discusses individual credit programs and GSEs intended to support four sectors: housing, education, business and community development, and exports. The discussion focuses on program objectives, recent developments, performance, and future plans for each program. • In a similar format, the final section reviews Federal deposit insurance, pension guarantees, disaster insurance, and insurance against terrorism and other security-related risks. FEDERAL PROGRAMS IN CHANGING FINANCIAL MARKETS The Federal Role In most cases, private lending and insurance companies efficiently meet economic demands by allocating resources to their 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 do not effectively address market imperfections can be unnecessary, 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 helping disadvantaged groups, direct subsidies are generally more effective and less distortionary. Relevant market imperfections include insufficient information, limited ability to secure resources, insuffi- cient competition, and externalities. Although these imperfections can cause inefficiencies, the presence of a market imperfection does not mean that Government intervention will always be effective. To be effective, a credit or insurance program should be carefully designed to reduce inefficiencies in the targeted area without causing inefficiencies elsewhere. Insufficient Information. Financial intermediaries may fail to allocate credit to the most deserving borrowers if there is little objective information about some of the borrowers. Some groups of borrowers, such as start-up businesses and some families, 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. For very irregular events, such as natural and man-made disasters, there may not be sufficient information to estimate the probability and magnitude of the loss. This pricing difficulty may prevent insurers from covering those risks at reasonable premiums. 69 70 Limited Ability to Secure Resources. The ability of private entities to absorb losses is more limited than 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 reliable. Such events include massive bank failures and some natural and man-made disasters that can threaten the solvency of private insurers. Insufficient Competition. Competition can be insufficient in some markets because of barriers to entry or economies of scale. Insufficient competition may result in unduly high prices of credit and insurance in those markets. 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. Education, for example, generates positive externalities because the general public benefits from the high productivity and good citizenship of a well-educated person. Without Government intervention, people will engage less than socially optimal in activities that generate positive externalities and more in activities that generate negative externalities. Financial Market Developments Financial markets have become much more efficient through 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 has increased competition and prompted efficiency-improving consolidation by removing geographic and industry barriers. These changes have reduced market imperfections. The private market now has more information and better technology to process it; it has better means to secure resources; and it is more competitive. As a result, the private market is more willing and able to serve a portion of the population 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 should focus more narrowly on those sectors that have been less affected by financial evolution and those populations that still have difficulty in obtaining credit or insurance from private lenders. The Federal Government should also 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 role for the Federal government in addressing the information problem has diminished steadily over the years. Nowadays, lenders and insurers have easy ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES access to large databases, powerful computing devices, and sophisticated analytical models. This advancement in communication and information processing technology enables lenders to evaluate risk more objectively and accurately. As a result, most borrowers can easily obtain credit at a fair interest rate reflecting their risk. The improvement, however, may be uneven across sectors. Credit scoring (an automated process that converts relevant borrower characteristics into a numerical score indicating creditworthiness), for example, is considered as a breakthrough in borrower screening. While credit scoring is widely applied to home mortgages and consumer loans, it is applied to a limited extent for small business loans and agricultural loans due to the difficulty of standardizing unique characteristics of small businesses and farmers. It is also possible that banking consolidation adversely affects those borrowers with unique characteristics; small, local banks could serve those borrowers better if they had more borrower-specific information gained through long-term relations. With technological advances such as computer simulation, pricing catastrophe risks has become easier, but it remains much more difficult than pricing more regular events such as automobile accidents. It is still difficult for insurers to estimate with confidence the probability of a major natural disaster occurring. The difficulty may be greater for man-made disasters that lack scientific bases. Financial evolution has also improved private insurers’ ability to deal with catastrophic losses. Using financial derivatives such as options, swaps, and futures, private entities can 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 man-made catastrophe among a large number of investors through catastrophe-related derivatives. However, the market for catastrophe-related derivatives is still small, and it has not eliminated the difficulty of absorbing catastrophic losses yet. Insufficient competition is much less likely to justify Federal involvement than was the case only a few years ago due to financial deregulation and improved communication and financing 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 further lowered the cost of financial transactions and reduced the importance of physical location. These developments have been especially beneficial to small and geographically isolated customers who could not afford to bear large transactions costs and otherwise had limited access to financial services. In addition, there are more financing alternatives for both commercial and individual borrowers that used to rely heavily on banks. Venture capital, for example, has become a much more important financing source for small businesses. Finance companies have also become a prominent player both in business and consumer financing. 71 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE Problems related to externalities may persist because the price mechanisms that drive the private market by definition 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, there may be a better way to address any remaining externalities. Overall, the financial market has become more efficient and stable. Financial evolution and other economic developments, however, are often accompanied by new risks, as evidenced by the current difficulties resulting from the rapid expansion of subprime mortgages. Subprime mortgages are a product of several innovations, such as consumer credit scoring, securitization, and credit ratings on securities. Properly used, subprime mortgages are a beneficial tool helping disadvantaged families to become homeowners. Misjudgments and some imperfections in financing techniques appear to have led to overextension of subprime mortgages. For example, while securitization facilitates the funding of mortgages, it also reduces II. mortgage originators’ incentives to screen borrowers carefully because securitized loans are off their balance sheets. Investors having relied on credit ratings appear to have been misguided by high ratings on some complex mortgage-backed securities that with the benefit of hindsight were too optimistic. Few financial models are perfect. In addition, rating agencies’ incentives to protect investors may have been attenuated by the fees they collect from security issuers. These developments suggest that Federal agencies need to be vigilant to identify and manage new risks to the economy and to the Budget, arising from financial evolution. Recent financial market instability presents both opportunities and challenges to Federal programs. Market disruptions have reduced private liquidity and credit availability temporarily. In this situation, Federal programs can produce larger net benefits. GSEs may inject more liquidity into the financial market, and credit programs may accommodate more deserving borrowers who are having difficulties in obtaining credit in the private market. Challenges include identifying the areas where the true needs are (e.g., identifying deserving borrowers), selecting the most effective tools, avoiding distortion of private sector credit markets, and avoiding excessive burden on taxpayers. To ensure significant net benefits, these issues need to be addressed effectively. PERFORMANCE OF CREDIT AND INSURANCE PROGRAMS The Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) has rated 38 credit programs and nine insurance programs. The PART evaluates programs in four areas (program purpose and design, strategic planning, program management, and program results) and assigns a numerical score (0 to 100) to each category. The overall rating (effective, moderately effective, adequate, ineffective, or results not demonstrated) is determined based on the numerical scores and the availability of reliable data. The ratings for credit and insurance programs are clustered around the middle; 77 percent of credit and insurance programs (compared with 59 percent for other programs) are rated ‘‘adequate’’ or ‘‘moderately effective,’’ while only 11 percent (18 percent for other programs) are rated ‘‘effective.’’ These results suggest that most credit and insurance programs meet basic standards, but need to improve. Some key features distinguish credit and insurance programs from other programs. Credit and insurance programs are intended to address imperfections in financial markets. They also face various risks, such as uncertain default rates and erratic claim rates. Interpreting PART results in relation to these features should help to identify fundamental problems and to devise effective solutions. Program Purpose and Design. To be effective, credit and insurance programs should serve those who deserve to be served but are left out by the private market due to market imperfections. Extending credit to those who are not creditworthy, for example, would result in economic inefficiencies and large budget costs. Lending to those who can obtain credit at a reasonable rate in the private market would be unnecessary and SUMMARY OF PART SCORES Purpose and Design Strategic Planning Program Management Program Results Credit and Insurance Programs Average .........................................................

To achieve intended outcomes without causing unintended consequences, therefore, credit and insurance programs need to be carefully designed; they should target the intended beneficiaries, and all parties in the transaction should face the correct incentives. The PART indicates that most credit and insurance programs have clear purposes (not necessarily economically justifiable purposes) and address specific needs. 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 offer inadequate incentive structures. Strategic Planning. Financial markets have been evolving to serve target populations of Federal programs better and increasingly apply advanced technologies to risk assessments. Credit and insurance programs need to adapt to these new developments quickly. Falling behind, Federal programs can be left with many beneficiaries that do not really need Government help and with those that may pose greater risk. In subcategories of strategic planning, while most credit and insurance programs effectively execute shortterm strategies, they are less effective in pursuing longterm goals which may be more critical in adapting to new developments. Other weaknesses are found in conducting stringent performance evaluation and tying budgets to performance outcomes. Program Management. Risk management is a critical element of credit and insurance programs. Cash flows are uncertain both for credit and insurance programs. Default rates and claim rates can turn out to III. be significantly different than expected. Credit programs also face prepayment and interest rate risks. These risks must be carefully managed to ensure the program cost stays within a reasonable range. Credit and insurance programs show strengths in basic financial and accounting practices, such as spending funds for intended purposes and controlling routine costs. However, some weaknesses are found in areas that are more critical for effective risk management, such as collecting timely information and using sophisticated financial tools. Program Results. It is generally more difficult to measure the outcomes of Federal programs pursuing various social goals than those of private entities seeking profits. Unlike profits, social outcomes are difficult to quantify and often interrelated. Credit and insurance programs face an additional difficulty of estimating the program cost accurately. Since the outcome must be weighed against the cost, an underestimation or an overestimation of the cost would make the program appear unduly effective or ineffective. Thus, results for credit and insurance programs need to be interpreted in conjunction with the accuracy of cost estimation. Program results, the most important category of performance, are generally weak for credit and insurance programs despite a higher average score than that of other programs. Many credit and insurance programs have difficulty in achieving performance goals and lack objective evidences of program effectiveness. These problems may partly result from the difficulty of measuring net outcomes. With reliable outcome measures, it should be easier to set achievable goals and demonstrate effectiveness. STRUCTURE OF FINANCIAL REGULATION Several groups including government, industry, and academic institutions have expressed concerns about the competitiveness of U.S. capital markets in the global financial system, and that financial regulations and the regulatory structure in the United States have become overly burdensome and complex. Recommendations have been made to streamline the U.S. regulatory structure, while acknowledging that a strong regulatory regime is critical to maintaining market confidence and the U.S. financial markets’ preeminence. The analysis below reviews the regulatory systems used in foreign countries, in comparison to the system currently in place in the United States. U.S. Financial Services Oversight Financial regulators are responsible for supervising financial institutions and financial transactions. Their domain encompasses banks and other depository institutions, insurance companies, securities firms, pension funds, finance companies, and other entities. Historically, regulators specialized in one of three financial service categories: banking, insurance, or securities. The United States maintains a functionally separated regulatory system, with oversight responsibility divided among: five Federal banking regulators; two Federal securities/futures regulators; State-level insurance and other regulators; and self-regulatory organizations (nongovernmental). The table below illustrates the multiple regulators of each type of financial services provider. The table shows that some providers can have up to five different levels of supervision in the United States. 73 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE Chart 7-1. Financial Services Regulatory Systems Top 15 Non-U.S. Financial Centers Separated 4 Unified 7 Integrated 4 New Trends in Regulation Outside the United States, countries have made recent changes to move toward a single, consolidated financial regulator having regulatory authority across all areas of financial services. These countries include the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, and South Korea. Other countries have consolidated supervision of two or more financial sectors such as banking and insurance under one regulator, including Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands. Finally, countries that separate regulation of banking, insurance, and securities markets, including Hong Kong, France, and Italy, typically have only one regulator for each of those sectors. The United States has a separated system of regulation, with multiple regulators for each financial sector. In an effort to provide more efficient and effective oversight of evolving markets, countries that have historically used a three- or multiple-pronged regulatory system are moving to consolidate regulation into one or two entities having the statutory power to supervise at least two of the three main types of financial intermediaries. This regulator is known as an ‘‘integrated’’ regulator; the regulatory system may be referred to as an integrated system. The main drivers of this consolidation include: • The need to better supervise the growing complexity and importance of financial conglomerates and the blurring distinctions among banking, securities, and insurance products, as well as the associated systematic risk; • The desire to maximize economies of scale and scope in regulatory efforts; and • The need to address poor communication between and lack of cooperation among existing regulatory agencies. Examples of integrated systems are found in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The systems in Australia and the Netherlands provide examples of the ‘‘Twin Peaks’’ model, which separates prudential from market-conduct regulation. In this model, the prudential regulator oversees systemic risk and the solvency of major financial institutions. 1 For example, a prudential regulator would ensure that deposit-taking institutions are able to meet their financial obligations by regulating and overseeing bank reserve ratios and inter-bank lending rates. The market-conduct regulator oversees institutional conduct with respect to markets and shareholders. A market-conduct regulator would ensure the accuracy of financial filings and investigate market manipulation, insider trading, and customer fraud. 1 In the case of the Netherlands, the central bank has this responsibility. 74 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES REGULATORS OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS Charter and License Safety/Soundness Examination Consumer Protection Market Oversight National Banks ...................................................................

Of the top 15 international financial centers (non-U.S.), almost half are overseen by a single regulator of all banking, insurance, and securities firms, nation-wide. 2 These include centers in Denmark, Germany, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. In addition, Switzerland approved legislation on June 22, 2007 to create a unified financial services regulator from its current integrated system, taking effect in 2009. Conclusion The U.S. approach to financial regulation is an outlier in the global financial system. The few countries that do have a similar, functionally divided system have significantly fewer regulators. Three-quarters of countries with the largest financial centers have consolidated their regulatory systems, with almost half maintaining a unified regulator for all sectors of the financial services industry. The Administration is conducting an in-depth review of the Nation’s regulatory system and looks forward to advancing the dialogue this year. 2 In some cases, such as Germany, a single, unified regulator has the predominant regulatory and supervisory authority over all sectors, and shares some supervisory authority with state-level regulators and the central bank. The role of the central bank varies among countries surveyed; in Singapore, for example, regulatory and supervisory responsibilities pertaining to all sectors have been merged into the central bank. 75 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE IV. CREDIT IN FOUR SECTORS Housing Credit Programs and GSEs Through housing credit programs, the Federal Government promotes homeownership and housing among various target groups, including low-income people, minorities, veterans, and rural residents. A primary function of the housing GSEs is to increase liquidity in the mortgage market. Federal Housing Administration In June 2002, the President issued America’s Homeownership Challenge to increase the number of firsttime minority homeowners by 5.5 million through 2010. During the five years since the goal was announced, nearly 3.2 million minority families have become firsttime homeowners. Through 2007, the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD’s) Federal Housing Administration (FHA) helped more than 664,000 of these first-time minority homebuyers through its loan insurance programs. FHA mortgage insurance guarantees mortgage loans that provide 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 2007, FHA insured purchase and refinance mortgages for more than 532,000 households. Among purchase mortgages, over 79 percent were for first-time homebuyers and 30 percent were for minority buyers. FHA also insured over 107,000 home equity conversion mortgages for elderly homeowners. While FHA has been a primary facilitator of mortgage credit for first-time and minority buyers since the 1930s, its loan volume fell precipitously from 2002 through 2006. This is due in part to lower interest rates that made uninsured mortgages affordable for more families. Moreover, private lenders—aided by automated underwriting tools that allow them to measure risks more accurately—expanded lending to people who previously would have had no option but FHA, those with too few resources to pay for large downpayments, and/or who had credit histories that the private sector considered too risky. The development of new products and underwriting approaches has allowed private lenders to offer loans to more homebuyers. While this is a positive development when the private sector properly assesses risks and offers fair terms, some borrowers have ended up paying too much, receiving unfair terms, or taking on excessive debts. As private lenders expanded their underwriting to cover more borrowers, FHA’s business changed. First, the percentage of FHA-insured mortgages with initial loan-to-value (LTV) ratios of 95 percent or higher increased substantially, from 62.7 percent in 1995 to 79 percent in 2007. Second, the percentage of FHA loans with downpayment assistance from seller-financed nonprofit organizations grew rapidly, from 0.3 percent in 1998 to nearly 23 percent in 2007. Recent studies show that these loans are considerably more risky than those made to borrowers who receive downpayment assistance from other sources. The FHA single-family mortgage program was assessed in 2005 using the PART. The assessment found that the program was meeting its statutory objective to serve underserved borrowers while maintaining an adequate capital reserve. However, the program lacked quantifiable annual and long-term performance goals that would measure FHA’s ability to achieve its statutory mission. In addition, both the PART and subsequent reports by the Government Accountability Office and the Inspector General noted that the program’s credit model does not accurately predict losses to the FHA insurance funds and that, despite FHA efforts to deter fraud in the program, HUD has not demonstrated that those steps have reduced such fraud. Due to weak housing market conditions today, FHA will record an upward re-estimate in the cost of its Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund programs of $4.6 billion in 2008. Cumulatively, FHA has recorded net upward re-estimates of $19.7 billion since 1992. In response to PART findings, FHA measured its 2007 performance against new goals, such as the percentage of FHA Single Family loans for first-time and minority homeowners, and exceeded its goals. FHA also improved the accuracy of its annual actuarial review claim and prepayment estimates. In 2008, it will continue to develop performance goals for fraud detection and prevention. Response to Mortgage Market Challenges FHA plays a valuable role in providing home financing options that augment those available in the conventional market. As discussed in the section on deposit insurance, conventional credit standards have tightened in recent months. Private mortgage insurers have raised underwriting standards, reducing the availability of financing options. In addition, there are a large number of borrowers who hold adjustable rate mortgages and face the risk of foreclosure due to large increases in mortgage payments after an interest-rate reset. An estimated 1.8 million subprime mortgages for owneroccupied homes are scheduled to reset in 2008 and 2009. FHA is addressing both of these challenges. The FHA guarantee encourages lending to borrowers who may face increased difficulty in obtaining conventional financing. For borrowers who face difficulty making their mortgages payments, re-financing under an FHA-insured loan can offer a path that keeps them in their homes and avoids costly foreclosures. To broaden the use of this re-financing, the Administration announced the FHASecure program in August 2007. This program broadens the population eligible to use FHA. Beyond borrowers who are current, it also allows credit-worthy borrowers who have fallen behind on their mortgages 76 due to interest rate resets to refinance into FHA. Since the announcement of FHASecure and as of January 2008, approximately 44,000 borrowers have successfully refinanced their conventional mortgages into FHA. While these actions help the mortgage market in the short-term, FHA needs permanent changes to allow guarantees on a wider variety of financing options and the flexibility to respond to future changes in the mortgage and housing markets. Proposals for Program Reform In order to enable FHA to fulfill its mission in today’s changing marketplace, the Administration has proposed legislation that will give FHA the ability to respond to current challenges to homeownership among its traditional target borrowers: low and moderate-income first-time homebuyers. FHA has already taken steps, within its current authority, to streamline its documentation requirements and remove impediments to its use by lenders and buyers. However, additional reforms will enable it to expand homeownership opportunities to its target borrowers on an actuarially sound basis. To remove two large barriers to homeownership— having limited savings for a downpayment or impaired credit—the Administration again proposes new FHA options. These options will replace the current flat premium-rate structure with one that varies with the risk of default, as indicated by the borrower’s downpayment percentage and credit history. This will create more opportunities for potential homeowners who may face limited mortgage options. For example, first-time buyers with a strong credit record but little savings could finance a higher percent of the purchase than FHA currently allows. Alternatively, a borrower with a poor credit history but who has accumulated savings for a larger downpayment could qualify for more favorable terms with FHA than are available in the conventional market. Such a flexible premium structure is a way to more fairly price the FHA guarantee to individual borrowers. It creates incentives (lower premium payments) for borrowers to take steps to improve their credit or save more for a downpayment. At the same time it eliminates the current incentive for higher-risk borrowers to use FHA because they are undercharged relative to the risk they pose. FHA proposes to base its mortgage insurance premiums upon a borrower’s consumer credit score from the three major credit repositories (using the Fair-Isaac and Company (FICO) formula), and on the amount of downpayment. Mortgage insurance premiums will be based on FHA’s historical experience with similar borrowers. This change will decrease premiums for many of FHA’s traditional borrowers, thereby increasing their access to homeownership. This price structure has many advantages. First, FHA will reflect a loan’s risk via the mortgage insurance premium, not through a higher interest rate as done in the subprime market. With mortgage insurance through FHA, borrowers will pay a market rate of in- ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES terest, and, as a result, will incur lower monthly payments and lower total costs than if they paid a higher mortgage interest rate throughout the life of the loan. Second, by using this pricing structure, FHA will promote price transparency. Each borrower will know why they are paying the premium that they are being charged and will know how to lower their borrowing costs—i.e., by raising their FICO score or their downpayment. Third, risk-based pricing will allow FHA to review the performance of its programs annually in conjunction with the preparation of its credit subsidy estimates and adjust its premiums as necessary to assure the financial soundness of the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund. The Administration also proposes to increase the FHA single-family loan limit in high-cost areas to the conforming mortgage limit (from $362,790 to $417,000). This will enable FHA to offer its insurance in some areas that experienced rapid house price appreciation between 2001 and 2006, and where FHA is no longer a viable option because of overly-restrictive loan limits. There are areas of the country, including many major cities in California, where FHA used to provide significant support to first-time and minority homebuyers, but where it can do very little to help them now. This proposed loan-limit increase will also allow FHA to offer insurance to a more geographically diverse portfolio. A reformed FHA will adhere to sound management practices that include a new framework of standards and incentives tied to principles of good credit program management. Further, the proposed reforms will better enable FHA to better meet its objective of serving firsttime and low-income home buyers—about 280,000 firsttime homebuyers in 2009 including about 80,000 minority families—by managing its risks more effectively. 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 2007, VA provided $24.2 billion in guarantees to assist 129,261 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 zero downpayment loans. VA provided 84,858 zero downpayment loans in 2007. To help veterans retain their homes and avoid the expense and damage to their credit resulting from foreclosure, VA intervenes aggressively to reduce the likelihood of foreclosures when loans are referred to VA after missing three payments. VA’s successful actions resulted in 57 percent of such delinquent loans avoiding foreclosure in 2007. 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 resi- 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE dents 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. In 2007, nearly $4.8 billion in assistance was provided by RHS for homeownership loans and loan guarantees; $3.6 billion in guarantees went to more than 35,000 households, of which 32 percent went to very low and low-income families (with income 80 percent or less than median area income). Historically, RHS has offered both direct and guaranteed homeownership loans. However, the direction of Rural Development’s single-family housing mortgage assistance over the last two decades has been towards guaranteed loans. The single family housing guaranteed loan program was newly authorized in 1990 at $100 million and has grown into a $3 billion plus guaranteed loan program annually, equaling that of the Veterans Affairs (VA) guaranteed housing loan program. Meanwhile the single-family direct loan program has been stagnant at approximately a $1-billion loan level. Consequently, the Administration is proposing that Rural Development focus solely on guaranteed loans for single-family housing. This policy was initially proposed in 2008 because it was consistent with the other Federal homeownership programs. In fact, there are no Federal single family direct loan home ownership programs for urban areas. While some rural areas remain isolated from broad credit availability, these areas are shrinking as broadband internet access and correspondent lending grow. Therefore, relying on the private banking industry to provide this service, with a guarantee from the Federal government, is a more efficient way to deliver that assistance. The 2009 Budget also re-proposes an increase in the single family housing guarantee fee on new purchase loans to 3 percent from 2 percent. This change allows the loans to be less costly for the Government without a significant additional burden to the borrowers, given that they can finance the fee as part of the loan. The guarantee fee for refinance loans remains 0.5 percent. The fee proposal on purchase loans will allow funding in 2009 to be $4.8 billion, an increase of over $600 million above 2008. The budget also supports $300 million in RHS guaranteed loans for multifamily housing construction loans for 2009. This level of support can be achieved at a more efficient cost through the removal of the subsidized interest authorization and the fee component of the program as part of the 2009 request. No funds are requested for the direct rural rental housing program or the farm labor housing program because fixing the current portfolio is the first priority. Government-Sponsored Enterprises in the Mortgage Market Homeownership has long been recognized as an important part of the American economy and part of the American dream. However, it has not always been with- 77 in reach for the average American. During the Great Depression, housing markets were in turmoil. A typical mortgage required a downpayment of around 50 percent and a balloon payment of principal within a few years. Limitations in financial and communication technology and restrictions on financial institutions made it difficult for surplus funds in one part of the country to be shifted to other parts of the country to finance residential housing. Starting in 1932, the Congress responded by creating a series of entities and programs that together promoted the development of long-term, amortizing mortgages and facilitated the movement of capital to support housing finance. A key element of this response was the creation of the Federal Housing Administration in 1934. Another element was the establishment of several entities designed to develop secondary mortgage markets and to facilitate the movement of capital into housing finance. These entities were chartered by the Congress with public missions and endowed with certain benefits that give them competitive advantages when compared with fully private companies. The Federal Home Loan Bank System, created in 1932, is comprised of twelve individual banks with shared liabilities. Together they lend money to financial institutions—mainly banks and thrifts—that are involved in mortgage financing to varying degrees, and they also finance some mortgages on their own balance sheets. The Federal National Mortgage Association, or Fannie Mae, created in 1938, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, created in 1970, were established to support the stability and liquidity of a secondary market for residential mortgage loans. Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s public missions were later broadened to promote affordable housing. Together these three GSEs currently are involved, in one form or another, with nearly one half of the $11plus trillion residential mortgages outstanding in the U.S. today. Their share of outstanding residential mortgage debt peaked at 54 percent in 2003, after which management and internal control problems started to surface at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and originations of subprime and non-traditional mortgages led to a surge of private-label MBS. As with other financial institutions, the Congress has also established regulatory regimes to ensure the safety and soundness of the housing GSEs. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), established in 1992 as an independent agency within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, oversees the safety and soundness of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while HUD is responsible for mission oversight. The Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB), established in 1989, oversees the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Numerous government and other reports have pointed to various shortcomings with the current regulatory structure and authorities for the housing GSEs. The Administration is proposing to strengthen this structure and regulatory authorities and combine OFHEO, HUD’s regulatory responsibilities for mission 78 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES oversight, and FHFB to create a new regulator to oversee all these GSEs. Mission The mission of the housing GSEs is to support certain aspects of the U.S. mortgage market. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s mission is to promote affordable housing, and provide liquidity and stability to the secondary mortgage market. Currently, they engage in two major lines of business. 1. Credit Guarantee Business—Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest on mortgagebacked securities (MBS). They create MBS by either buying and pooling whole mortgages or by entering into swap arrangements with mortgage originators. Over time these MBS held by the public have averaged about one-quarter of the U.S. mortgage market, and they totaled $3.5 trillion as of November 30, 2007. 2. Mortgage Investment Business—Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac manage retained mortgage portfolios composed of their own MBS, MBS issued by others, and individual, whole mortgages. As of November 30, 2007, these retained mortgages totaled $1.4 trillion. Given Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s serious accounting, internal control, risk management, and systems problems, the growth of these portfolios has been temporarily constrained through agreements with OFHEO. The mission of the Federal Home Loan Bank System is broadly defined as promoting housing finance, and the System also has specific requirements to support affordable housing. The Federal Home Loan Banks have not grown mortgage asset portfolios as large as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Their principal business remains secured lending to regulated depository institutions and insurance companies engaged in residential mortgage finance to varying degrees. Risks That GSEs Face and Cause Like other financial institutions, the GSEs face a full range of risks, including market risk, credit risk, and operational risk. In recent years several of the Federal Home Loan Banks and Fannie Mae have faced serious market risks due to inadequate hedging. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have faced serious operational risk. As a result of earnings manipulation, poor accounting systems, lack of proper controls, lack of proper risk management, and misapplication of accounting principles, earnings at Fannie Mae were misstated by $6.3 billion through June of 2004, and at Freddie Mac by $5.0 billion through December of 2002. The housing market downturn in the last year has increased significantly the credit risk faced by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The GSEs also pose risks to the financial system and overall economy. Systemic risk is the risk that unanticipated problems at a financial institution or group of institutions could lead to problems more widely in the financial system or economy—the risk that a small problem could multiply to a point where it could jeopardize the country’s economic well-being. The particular systemic risk posed by the GSEs is the risk that a miscalculation, failure of controls, or other unexpected event at one company could unsettle not only the mortgage and mortgage finance markets but also other vital parts of the financial system and economy. To understand this risk, one must understand the interdependencies among the GSEs and other market participants in the financial system and the lack of market discipline imposed on the GSEs because investors perceive that the GSEs are implicitly backed by the U.S. Government. The GSEs are among the largest borrowers in the world. As of September 2007 their combined debt and guaranteed MBS totaled $6.0 trillion, higher than the total publicly held debt of the United States. The investors in GSE debt include thousands of banks, institutional investors such as insurance companies, pension funds, and foreign governments, and millions of individuals through mutual funds and 401k investments. Based on the prices paid by these investors, they act as if the Federal Government guarantees GSE debt. In fact, there is no such guarantee or Federal backing of GSE debt. Because investors act as if there is an ‘‘implicit guarantee’’ by the Federal Government to back GSE debt, investors on average lend their money to the GSEs at interest rates roughly 30 to 40 basis points less ($300–$400 less per year for every $100,000 borrowed) than to other highly rated privately held companies. In addition, investors do not demand the same financial disclosures as for other privately owned companies. Fannie Mae filed quarterly financial reports for each of the first three quarters of the year in November 2007, the first quarterly financial statements in more than three years, and has not filed a timely annual report (10-K) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for nearly four years. Freddie Mac still has never registered with the SEC as it agreed to in 2002. It has issued quarterly reports during 2007, but they were all tardy. Yet there has been no significant impact on the pricing of GSE debt securities. In past years, the lack of market discipline facilitated the growth of the GSE asset portfolios, thereby increasing systemic risk. 79 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE Chart 7-2. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Combined Retained Mortgage Portfolios Year-End 2006 Mortgage Revenue Bonds 2.2% Whole Mortgages 24.2% MBS - Others 22.6% MBS Enterprises 51.1% Retained Asset Portfolios Achieve Little for the GSEs’ Housing Mission Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have used their funding cost advantage to amass large retained asset portfolios. Together these GSEs have $1.5 trillion in debt outstanding, almost entirely for the purpose of funding these portfolios. From 1990 through 2006, the GSEs’ competitive funding advantage enabled them to increase their portfolios of mortgage assets more than ten-fold, which far exceeds the growth of the overall mortgage market. Due to the size of and risks associated with the portfolios, the Administration is proposing that the new regulatory structure empower the regulator to address and mitigate these risks. As chart 7–2 shows, 51 percent of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s combined retained mortgage portfolios at the end of 2006 was comprised of holdings of their own guaranteed MBS, which could easily be sold. The function of these portfolio holdings is largely to increase profits, not facilitate affordable housing. In 1992, the Congress broadened Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s mission to include providing liquidity for mortgages that served low-and moderate-income borrowers and those living in underserved areas. To measure this performance, the Congress mandated that HUD establish three affordable housing goal targets that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must meet each year. HUD has also implemented home purchase subgoals to encourage homeownership opportunities for first-time homeowners and minority homeowners. Given that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have a mission to help more families achieve homeownership as well as to expand rental op- portunities, their retained portfolios should be largely tied to that mission. However, currently only about 30 percent of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s retained portfolio holdings would be eligible to qualify for any of the affordable housing goals. About half of the MBS issued by others and whole loans held by the GSEs qualify toward their affordable housing goals but none of their holdings of their own MBS contribute toward meeting the goals because loans backing the MBS are already counted. Their performance under the housing goals over time indicate that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac should be doing more to help mission-targeted families achieve homeownership or acquire affordable rental housing. Debt Issuance Subject to Treasury Approval Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fund their portfolios by issuing debt, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury has the statutory responsibility to review and approve these GSEs’ debt-issuances. The Treasury Department also has debt approval over the Federal Home Loan Banks. Treasury is developing a more formalized approach to their debt approval authority. As part of that approach, Treasury is developing new debt approval procedures to enhance the clarity, transparency, standardization, and documentation of the debt approval process for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Home Loan Banks. Recent Mortgage Market Conditions Highlight Needed Reforms In early August 2007, there was a precipitous drop in the liquidity of subprime, nontraditional, and prime 80 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES jumbo mortgages. Faced with sharp increases in the delinquency and default rates of subprime and nontraditional loans in 2006 and 2007, as well as flat or declining home prices in much of the country, secondary market investors reassessed the risk of non-GSE MBS backed by those loans, which had previously been mispriced. The illiquidity of non-GSE MBS reduced the industry’s capacity to securitize newly-originated subprime and jumbo loans, although some lenders continued to originate jumbo mortgages for portfolio. Freddie Mac and, to a lesser degree, Fannie Mae also incurred losses on investments in non-GSE MBS. The three housing GSEs have continued to perform their missions during the recent market disruption. In the third quarter of 2007, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac supported the liquidity of the secondary market by engaging in $343 billion of new business. The Federal Home Loan Banks increased their secured lending to mortgage lenders by $184 billion in that quarter. As Chart 7–3, shows, the combined activity of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as a share of single-family mortgage originations rose to 60 percent in the third quarter, whereas the Federal Home Loan Bank System’s share increased to 32 percent. Those increases in market share highlight the need for a strong regulator. Chart 7-3. Mortgage Purchases and Securitization by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and Change in Federal Home Loan Bank Advances as a Share of Single-Family Mortgage Originations, First Three Quarters of 2007 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% -10% 2007Q1 2007Q2 Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Activity The risks of the GSEs’ large portfolios are exacerbated because they are not required to hold cushions of capital against potential losses comparable to the capital requirements for other large financial institutions. Where commercial banks that are part of a financial holding company must hold a 5 percent capitalto-total assets cushion, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s requirement (before the 30% surcharge imposed by OFHEO for operational weakness) is half that, whereas the Federal Home Loan Banks’ is 4 percent. The riskbased capital requirements for the GSEs also differ dramatically from those applicable to commercial banks. This highlights an important shortcoming of the statutory framework governing Federal oversight of the GSEs. The minimum capital and risk-based capital rules for the GSEs were written into law in 1992. Much has changed since then with regard to financial risk 2007Q3 Federal Home Loan Bank System Activity analysis, risk modeling, and capital requirements for comparable financial institutions. The reforms proposed by the Administration would repeal the statutory riskbased capital stress test, and would provide the new GSE regulator with the authority and flexibility to establish through regulation new risk-based capital requirements for the GSEs to help ensure that they operate with sufficient capital and reserves to support the risks that arise in the operations and management of each enterprise. A world-class regulator needs the flexibility and authority to change both the risk-based and minimum capital requirements without undue restriction in response to changing conditions. The substantial increase in mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures in recent months serves as a reminder that mortgage lending involves credit risk. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are exposed to significant default risk 81 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE on the mortgages they hold in portfolio or that back the MBS they guarantee. The GSEs’ asset portfolios pose other substantial risks as well. Mortgage portfolios carry considerable interest-rate and pre-payment risk. This risk can be mitigated—for example, through purchase of interest-rate hedges—but the GSEs protect themselves against only some of the interest rate risk of their portfolios. Moreover, hedges are imperfect because predicting interest-rate movements and mortgage refinancing activity is difficult. As GSE asset portfolios have grown in size, the GSEs’ participation in the market for hedging instruments has become dominant enough to cause interest rate spikes in the event that a GSE needs to make large and sudden adjustments to its hedging position. Further, Freddie Mac and, to a lesser extent, Fannie Mae hold large amounts of nonGSE MBS, which pose significant risks. Many of these securities are backed by subprime loans, and market values have declined as concerns about those loans have risen. Increased defaults and concerns about future defaults have led to significant losses at both of those GSEs in the last half of 2007, and led to new preferred stock issues raising $16 billion to shore up capital. New Activities and Technological Development Require Oversight Over the last decade, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have begun engaging in a wide range of new activities that were not anticipated when their charters were written. To address these changes, HUD developed a new activity review initiative under its general regulatory authority. HUD has reviewed a number of business initiatives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, including international activities; partnership offices; senior housing; skilled nursing facilities; employer assisted housing plans; third party real-estate-owned programs; Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS); Asset-Backed Securities (ABS); multifamily variablerate bond certificates; whole loan REMICs; and patenting programs. HUD imposed limitations on some activities and concluded that other activities were not authorized. For example, HUD’s review of the GSEs’ Commercial MBS programs resulted in OFHEO seeking Freddie Mac’s divestiture of certain CMBS holdings, and HUD ordered Fannie Mae to end its third party Real-Estate-Owned program based on its review. HUD completed a Financial Activities Review in late 2007. The review provided a baseline of information on Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s business and program activities and examined specific transactions to determine if these are consistent with the GSEs’ charter authorities. HUD expects to issue its review results to the GSEs during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008. Because of their enormous presence in the secondary market, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are able to exert significant influence in the primary mortgage market. First, their unparalleled size in the residential mortgage market gives the GSEs a unique level of access to market information. The applicability of that information to the management of mortgage risk gives them a competitive edge in the development of new technology that can change relationships between primary market participants as well as the distribution of economic returns between the primary and secondary markets. Second, their funding advantage enables the GSEs to borrow at reduced rates in order to make investments in new areas at below-market prices, thus discouraging competition while gaining experience in those areas. Through the development and delivery of new technology to the industry and by leveraging their funding advantage, there is potential for the GSEs to expand their business beyond the limitations of their Charter Acts, which prohibits both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from originating mortgages. Loan origination is the central function of the primary mortgage market, and the GSEs’ charter acts clearly restrict them to the secondary mortgage market. However, technological advancements have blurred the line that defines where the primary market ends and the secondary market begins. A new level of clarity is required to establish the permissible activities under the Enterprises’ charter acts, including the development of intellectual property. New Regulatory Authority The Administration continues to support broad reform of the GSE supervisory system. In particular, the Administration supports establishing a new regulator for all three of the housing GSEs that would combine safety and soundness authority with oversight of their respective housing missions. The new regulator must have enhanced powers comparable to those of other world-class financial regulators, including, among others, the ability to put a GSE into receivership should it fail, authority to establish and adjust appropriate capital standards, and new product approval authority. A new regulator must also have clear authority to address the size of and mitigate the risks posed by the GSEs’ retained portfolios. Finally, a new regulatory structure must ensure that the GSEs are adhering to their affordable housing mission. Education Credit Programs The Federal Government guarantees loans through intermediary agencies and makes direct loans to students to encourage postsecondary education enrollment. The Student Loan Marketing Association (Sallie Mae), created in 1972 as a GSE to develop the secondary market for guaranteed student loans, was privatized in 2004. 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 addi- 82 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES tional 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. The FFEL program provides loans through an administrative structure involving over 3,600 lenders, 35 State and private guaranty agencies, and over 5,000 participating schools. In the FFEL program, 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. Lenders bear five percent of the default risk on all new loans, and the Federal Government is responsible for the remainder. 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 nearly 1,100 schools, which then disburse loan funds to students. 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. In 2007, the President signed the College Cost Reduction and Access Act (CCRAA) into law. The CCRAA enacted broad programmatic reforms that will save $22 billion through 2012 by reducing lender and guaranty agency subsidies that had been higher than necessary to ensure that loans are available to students in this profitable and competitive market. Stemming from proposals included in the President’s 2008 Budget, the CCRAA reduced interest subsidies and default reinsurance paid to FFEL lenders; reduced fees paid to guaranty agencies; and required the Department of Education to conduct an auction pilot for the PLUS loan program, which primarily makes loans to parents to finance their child’s education. As implementation of these complex provisions continues, the Administration will closely monitor the student loan marketplace to ensure it continues to be robust and efficient, and that students have access to loans from a variety of lenders. The savings from the CCRAA were used to offset the costs of providing several student and borrower benefits, including: (1) a historic increase in the Pell Grant program; (2) a reduction in student loan interest rates for subsidized loans from 6.8 percent to 3.4 percent over four years (reverting back to 6.8 percent thereafter), and (3) increased flexibility in how borrowers repay their loans. 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 helps home and business-owners, as well as renters, cover the uninsured costs of recovery from disasters through its direct loan program. The 2009 Budget requests $657 million, including administrative funds, for SBA to leverage more than $29 billion in financing for small businesses and disaster victims. The 7(a) General Business Loan program will support $17.5 billion in guaranteed loans while the 504 Certified Development Company program will support $7.5 billion in guaranteed loans for fixed-asset financing. SBA will supplement the capital of Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs) with $3 billion in longterm, guaranteed loans for venture capital investments in small businesses. At the end of 2007, the outstanding balance of business loans totaled $85 billion. During the past few years, SBA has implemented several initiatives to streamline and improve operations by increasingly delegating responsibilities to lenders and centralizing operations while managing and mitigating risk. In 2003, SBA implemented a state-of-theart Lender Loan Monitoring System (LLMS) to evaluate individual SBA lenders by tracking the expected risk of SBA guaranteed loans in their portfolios relative to expected performance of those loans. In response to the challenges experienced in making and disbursing loans resulting from the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes, SBA has made a number of improvements, including implementing a case-manager system for processing loan applications and new metrics to track performance. By summer 2008, SBA expects to implement an Internet-based loan application system that will facilitate the collection of data from disaster victims and speed processing. The Budget builds on these efforts by investing in core technology systems and human capital efforts. Increased funding is requested for the Loan Management and Accounting System (LMAS), a modern system to replace an aged mainframe system and ensure adequate stewardship over a loan portfolio that has grown 59 percent since 2001. Funds are also requested for a training initiative focused on core competencies and other important information technology investments. The Budget also proposes to build upon the success of the zero-subsidy 7(a) program by making the Microloan program self-financing through modest increases in the interest rate paid by program intermediaries. The Administration is also proposing authorizing legislation to enable the secondary market guar- 83 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE antee (SMG) program to charge nominal fees on lenders seeking to pool loans; fees are expected to be less than or comparable to fees in other secondary market programs and will help stabilize the program from the need to make frequent administrative changes. 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 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 2009 President’s Budget is $1.6 billion. These funds are available to communities of 10,000 or fewer residents. No change is proposed to the poverty rate for this program in 2009. The Community Facility Program is targeted to rural communities with fewer than 20,000 residents. It will have a program level of $512 million in 2009. USDA also provides grants, direct loans, and loan guarantees to assist rural businesses, cooperatives, nonprofits, and farmers in creating new community infrastructures (i.e. educational networks or healthcare coops), and to diversify the rural economy and employment opportunities. In 2009, USDA proposes to provide $730 million in loan guarantees and direct loans to entities that serve communities of 50,000 or less through the Business and Industry guaranteed loan program and Intermediary Relending program. These loans are structured to save/create jobs and stabilize fluctuating rural economies. A recently implemented performance assessment tool will be used to calculate their impact on income growth in local, state, and national economies. The President’s Farm Bill proposal includes $1.5 billion in support for Rural Development programs over 10 years. Of this, $0.5 billion will go to enhance rural infrastructures, alleviating program backlogs, and $0.1 billion to support rural critical access hospitals. The other $0.9 billion will promote renewable energy activities, providing support to businesses and farmers who would like to produce renewable energy and increase their energy efficiencies. 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 (DLT). The Budget includes $4.1 billion in direct electric loans for distribution, transmission, and improvements to existing generation facilities, $690 million in direct telecommunications loans, $298 million in broadband loans, and $20 million in DLT grants. Since generation has been deregulated and has become a more commercial operation, the Administration supports using the commercial market for construction of new generation facilities. While the Administration has established a loan rate methodology for new nonnuclear generation facilities, the Administration has not proposed a loan level or requested funding needed to subsidize such loans. A loan level will be considered once Congress enacts legislation to authorize a fee on such loans and allows RUS to implement existing authority for recertification of the rural status of areas served by its borrowers. The Budget includes a proposal to replace the 100 percent guaranteed electric and telecommunications loans that are financed through the Federal Financing Bank (FFB) with loans made directly through the Treasury. The proposed new direct loan program would improve the operations of USDA’s rural utility loans by simplifying the Government’s processes while providing the same benefits and flexibilities for the borrowers. 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. FSAguaranteed 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. The Administration’s recent farm bill proposal includes policies to improve credit assistance for farm borrowers, with particular emphasis to beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers. Specifically, the Administration proposes to double assistance targeted to beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers for the direct operating loan program and reduce the interest rate for downpayment assistance to beginning farmers. Finally, because the cost of production is high for many farmers desiring to enter into farming, the farm bill includes increased loan levels for direct loan programs. In 2007, FSA provided loans and loan guarantees to approximately 27,000 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 oper- 84 ating 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 low crop/livestock prices and some regional production problems. In 2009, FSA proposes to make $3.4 billion in direct and guaranteed loans through discretionary programs. In 2005, to further improve program effectiveness, FSA conducted an in-depth review of its direct loan portfolio 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. FSA is currently evaluating the feasibility of obtaining a similar independent review of the guaranteed loan program. In addition, FSA recently implemented a web-based system to track loan applications. The Direct Loan System (DLS) replaces the loan making components of other automated systems. A loan servicing DLS module is currently under development. FSA successfully completed a comprehensive review of all farm loan program regulations, handbooks, and information collections. This streamlining initiative was one of the most aggressive efforts to enhance both the direct and guaranteed programs in the program’s 60year history. This initiative will reduce the burden for both applicants and the Agency, resulting in an improvement in loan processing efficiencies. 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 The financial condition of the System’s banks and associations remains sound. The ratio of capital to assets decreased to 14.8 percent as of September 30, 2007 from 15.7 percent as of September 30, 2006, as asset growth outpaced capital growth. As of September 30, 2007, capital consisted of $2.5 billion in restricted capital held by the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC) and $24.0 billion of unrestricted capital—a record level. Non-performing loans decreased, and earnings increased, resulting from growth in the loan portfolio and higher earnings on assets. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans outstanding fell to .43 percent as of September 30, 2007 compared to .50 percent a year earlier. Assets have grown at a 10.8 percent annual rate over the past five years, while the number of FCS institutions has decreased due to consolidation. As of September 30, 2007, the ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES System consisted of five banks and 95 associations compared with seven banks and 104 associations in September 2002. As of September 30, 2007, 98 of the 100 FCS banks and associations had one of the top two examination ratings (1 or 2 in a 1–5 scale), while two FCS institutions had a 3 rating. The FCSIC ensures the timely payment of principal and interest on FCS obligations on which the System banks are jointly and severally liable. FCSIC manages the Insurance Fund, which supplements the System’s capital and the joint and several liability of the System banks. At September 30, 2007, the assets in Insurance Fund totaled $2.519 billion. Of that amount $40 million was allocated to the Allocated Insurance Reserve Accounts (AIRAs). At September 30, 2007, the Insurance Fund as a percentage of adjusted insured debt was 1.71 percent in the unallocated Insurance Fund and 1.74 percent including the AIRAs. This was below the statutory Secure Base amount of 2 percent. During 2007 growth in System debt has outpaced the capitalization of the Insurance Fund that occurs through investment earnings and premiums. Over the 12-month period ending September 30, 2007, the System’s loans outstanding grew by $19.2 billion, or 16.6 percent, while over the past five years they grew by $47.2 billion, or 53.6 percent. As required by law, borrowers are also stockholder owners of System banks and associations. As of September 30, 2007, the System had 472,925 stockholders. Loans to young, beginning, and small farmers and ranchers represented 11.7, 19.4, and 27.7 percent, respectively, of the total dollar volume of farm loans outstanding at the end of 2006. The percentage of loans to beginning farmers in 2006 remained the same as the percentage of loans in 2005, while percentages to young and small farmers were slightly lower. Young, beginning, and small farmers are not mutually exclusive groups and, thus, cannot be added across categories. Providing credit and related services to young, beginning, and small farmers and ranchers is a legislative mandate for the System. The System, while continuing to record strong earnings and capital growth, remains exposed to a variety of risks associated with its portfolio concentration on agriculture and rural America. While this sector is currently healthy, it is subject to risk due to rapidly rising farm real estate prices, volatile commodity prices and input costs, uncertainty regarding changes in government farm policy and trade agreements, weather-related catastrophes, animal and plant diseases, and offfarm employment opportunities. Farmer Mac Farmer Mac was established in 1988 as a Federally chartered instrumentality and institution of the System to facilitate a secondary market for farm real estate and rural housing loans. The Farm Credit System Reform Act of 1996 expanded Farmer Mac’s role from a guarantor of securities backed by loan pools to a direct purchaser of mortgages, enabling it to form pools 85 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE to securitize. This change increased Farmer Mac’s ability to provide liquidity to agricultural mortgage lenders. Farmer Mac continues to meet core capital and regulatory risk-based capital requirements. Farmer Mac’s total program activity (loans purchased and guaranteed, AgVantage bond assets, and real estate owned) as of September 30, 2007, totaled $8.4 billion. That volume represents an increase of 19 percent from program activity at September 30, 2006. Of total program activity, $2 billion were on-balance sheet loans and agricultural mortgage-backed securities, and $6.3 billion were off-balance sheet obligations. Total assets were $5.4 billion at the close of the third quarter, with nonprogram investments accounting for $3.3 billion of those assets. Farmer Mac’s net loss for first three quarters of 2007 was $6.3 million, a significant change from the same period in 2006 during which net income was $22 million. The currently reported year-to-date loss amount is primarily the result of fluctuations in the market value of financial derivatives and trading assets that are now recognized in the income statement and is not the result of negative developments in its operations or cash flows. This change was instituted in November 2006, when Farmer Mac opted to change its accounting methods to remove the impact of accounting for derivatives as hedges against interest rate movements. Farmer Mac has stated that it does not expect the accounting change to impact its ability to carry out its business plans or have any effect on its business model. 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 agencies (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 ‘‘level the playing field’’ strategically 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 Export Credit Guarantee Programs (also known as 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. 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 through the International Monetary Fund 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. A loan or credit may not be made for more than six months in any 12-month period unless the President gives the Congress a written statement that unique or emergency circumstances require the loan or credit be for more than six months. 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. DCA provides non-sovereign 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 host-country 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 eq- 86 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES uity 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 most 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 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. V. Promoting Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction through Debt Sustainability The Enhanced Heavily Indebted Poorest Countries (HIPC) Initiative reduces the debt of some of the poorest countries with unsustainable debt burdens that are committed to economic reform and poverty reduction. Under the HIPC process, the debt of most countries is restructured before being completely forgiven. While not considered part of HIPC relief, a restructuring is often a precursor to HIPC relief. The 2009 President’s Budget uses an improved methodology for estimating the long term cost to the Federal Government of HIPC debt restructuring. The revised methodology more accurately reflects a country’s creditworthiness after a restructuring given the likelihood of receiving 100 percent debt reduction in the future. Self-Sufficient Export-Import Bank The Budget estimates that the Bank’s export credit support will total $14 billion, and will be funded entirely by receipts collected from the Bank’s customers. The Bank estimates it will collect $164 million in 2009 in excess of expected losses on transactions authorized in 2009 and prior years. These amounts will be used to: (1) cover the estimated costs for that portion of new authorizations where fees are insufficient to cover expected losses; and (2) to cover administrative expenses. INSURANCE PROGRAMS Deposit Insurance 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. Since its creation, the system has undergone a series of reforms, most recently in 2006. The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 allows the FDIC to better manage the Deposit Insurance Fund. For example, the Act authorizes the FDIC to charge premiums for deposit insurance on a risk-adjusted basis regardless of the level of the FDIC’s reserves against its insured deposits, and ensures that all financial institutions pay premiums for Federal insurance on their insured deposits. The FDIC completed implementation of these reforms during 2007. The FDIC insures deposits in banks and savings associations (thrifts). The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) insures deposits (shares) in most credit unions (certain credit unions are privately insured). FDIC and NCUA insure deposits up to $100,000 per account. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, the deposit insurance ceiling for retirement accounts was increased to $250,000. In addition, beginning in 2010, and every five years thereafter, FDIC and NCUA will have the authority to increase deposit insurance coverage limits for retirement and non-retirement accounts based on inflation if the Boards of the FDIC and NCUA determine such an increase is warranted. As of September 30, 2007, FDIC insured $4.24 trillion of deposits at 8,560 commercial banks and thrifts, and NCUA insured $556 billion of deposits (shares) at 8,163 credit unions. Current Industry Conditions Significant challenges have confronted the financial sector throughout the second half of calendar year 2007. Although to date the challenges have not caused a large number of failures of insured depository institutions, the outlook for the industry remains uncertain as of the beginning of 2008. During the summer of 2007, a slowdown in the U.S. housing market began to trigger concerns. Rising defaults on ‘‘subprime’’ loans led to markdowns on the value of debt securities backed by these loans. These securities had been packaged by financial institutions and sold to investors around the world. Uncertainty about the value of these complex financial instruments and lack of transparency about who held them led to a much lower appetite for risk and a clear preference for the most liquid and safe 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE investments. This reassessment of risk caused widespread volatility in financial markets. 3 Many depository institutions entered this period of market uncertainty with strong profitability and a significant capital cushion. The period from 2004–2006 was one of record growth and profitability for many banks and thrifts, and this previous strong performance has to date provided a cushion. As of September 2007, total risk-based capital ratios in the industry averaged 12.75 percent, versus a minimum required level of 8 percent. Depository institutions are also insulated by the fact that many had sold their mortgages—and hence their risk exposure—to the secondary market. In addition, many of the subprime mortgages losing value were originated by state-chartered mortgage companies rather than depository institutions. Thus the risk has been spread beyond the core banking system subject to Federal deposit insurance. In the current market environment, institutions with a significant presence in structuring and trading mortgage-backed securities (especially the major investment banks) have recorded losses on their portfolios of mortgage-backed securities, as well as lost the fees earned in repackaging and reselling these loans. In the 3rd and 4th quarters of calendar year 2007, major investment banks recorded nearly $70 billion in writedowns due to losses on investments linked to subprime mortgages and structured credit products. While the Federal Government has no direct risk exposure from investment bank losses, many banks and other firms have also encountered difficulty raising cash through the short-term corporate debt markets. Due to the increasing consolidation of the U.S. banking industry in recent years, the largest institutions have accounted for a growing share of total assets— whereas in 1984 depository institutions with over $10 billion in assets accounted for 42 percent of total assets in the industry, by 2004 the share of those institutions had risen to 73 percent. This consolidation, combined with the fact that many of the larger institutions with significant market and trading presence are those most affected by the current market conditions, has increased the potential risks of a major failure that could put a significant strain on the resources of the Federal deposit insurance funds. Administration and Regulatory Responses The financial regulators and the Administration have taken a number of steps to address the underlying problems in the credit and mortgage markets. The President’s Working Group on Financial Markets (including the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission) has the responsibility to examine the recent uncertainty in credit markets and work to ensure that market integrity and efficiency are not compromised. In regard to mortgage markets, in addition to the Administration 3 For a much more detailed discussion of the problems in credit markets during 2007 and their implications, please see Chapter 2 of the 2008 Economic Report of the President. 87 proposals for modernization of the Federal Housing Administration and reform of the oversight of the housing GSEs (mentioned earlier in this chapter) the Administration has partnered with the private sector to assemble a group of lenders, loan servicers, mortgage counselors, and investors (the HOPE NOW Alliance) to identify troubled borrowers and help them refinance or modify their mortgages, so more families can stay in their homes. The HOPE NOW Alliance consists of four counseling organizations, 21 mortgage servicers and lenders (comprising 65 percent of the U.S. market for mortgage servicing and almost 85 percent of the subprime servicing market), three investor groups (including the American Securitization Forum, which represents over 370 members), and 10 trade associations. These efforts should reduce foreclosure rates and support the continued flow of capital to mortgage markets. To aid this effort, during December 2007 Congress passed the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007, an Administration proposal that for the next few years (through 2010) will allow borrowers to obtain relief from taxes on writedowns of loan principal during a refinancing. The Administration has also proposed to allow state and local governments to temporarily broaden their tax-exempt bond programs to include mortgage refinancings. The Federal banking regulators (Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), and FDIC) have been closely monitoring banks’ core capital levels as well as their potential susceptibility to market disruptions. During 2007, the regulators jointly issued final guidance addressing non-traditional and subprime mortgage practices, as well as guidance encouraging their institutions to proactively aid borrowers to refinance subprime mortgages. The Federal Reserve and other Federal banking regulators have been developing new regulations to improve disclosure of mortgage and credit card terms, restrain certain practices in mortgage lending, and address unfair and deceptive lending practices more broadly. Complementing these efforts, this year HUD will also propose clearer disclosure of mortgage lending and home purchase closing costs, as mandated by the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. The draft text of the regulations on credit cards and mortgage lending were released for public comment in 2007, and the regulators will likely finalize these regulations during 2008. Recent Performance of the Federal Deposit Insurance Funds From July 2004 through January 2007, the performance of the Federal deposit insurance program was strong. No banks or thrifts failed during this period— the longest interlude without a failure in the 73-year history of the FDIC. However, there has been a deterioration of conditions in the industry since summer 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the FDIC classified 65 institutions with $18.5 billion in assets as ‘‘problem institutions’’ (institutions with the highest risk ratings), a 88 level of problem assets more than four times higher than the comparable statistics from September 2006. The largest institution to fail since the early 1990s, NetBank (a Georgia thrift with $2.5 billion in assets) was placed in FDIC receivership in September 2007, and overall three institutions failed during 2007. At the end of September 2007, the Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio (ratio of insurance reserves to insured deposits) stood at 1.22 percent—$1.2 billion below the level that would meet the target reserve ratio. Taking the redemption of credits into consideration, along with continued growth in insured deposits and a higher rate of potential failures given current conditions in the industry, the Budget projects that the FDIC will collect approximately $4.7 billion in new revenue from premiums during 2008 and 2009 combined. The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, the Federal fund for credit unions that is analogous to the Deposit Insurance Fund for banks and thrifts, ended September 2007 with assets of $7.4 billion and an equity ratio of 1.31 percent, topping the NCUAset target ratio of 1.30 percent. Over the past five years, the Share Insurance Fund’s equity ratio has gradually risen from about 1.27 percent, reflecting few losses due to failures in the credit union industry. Recent market volatility, however, may increase observed losses in the credit union industry. The number of problem institutions reported by the NCUA has steadily risen during 2007, and the Share Insurance Fund has set aside more than $57 million to cover potential insurance losses from January through November 2007, versus only $2.5 million in loss expenses for all of calendar year 2006. Basel II: Transition to a New Bank Capital Regime A major regulatory initiative is currently underway in the banking sector, which is likely to have a significant impact on the banking sector as a whole and, by extension, on the Federal deposit insurance system. The Federal banking regulators are implementing an international agreement called the Revised Framework for the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards (‘‘Basel II’’). Since equity capital serves as a cushion against potential losses, banks with riskier asset portfolios should hold more equity capital. The original Basel Capital Accord (Basel I) adopted in 1989 is an international accord among financial regulators establishing a uniform capital standard for banks across nations. Under Basel I, bank assets are grouped into a small number of broad risk categories. A bank’s regulatory capital requirement is tied to the amount of its asset holdings in each risk category. During 2007, the Federal banking regulators completed issuance of the rules implementing the Basel II advanced approach, the first half of the US effort to implement the Revised Basel Capital Accord. In the final Basel II advanced rule, U.S. regulators require the ten or so largest banks (including those that have major international operations, complex financial struc- ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES tures and expertise) to use an advanced internal ratings-based approach to calculate their credit risk capital requirements. The Basel II rulemaking allows for greater sensitivity to risk in the portfolios these banks hold. Rather than grouping assets into broad risk categories, capital requirements are tied to banks’ internal assessments of the likelihood and severity of default losses from the assets they hold. The rules are also intended to allow capital requirements to more accurately account for the benefits or risk-mitigation activities undertaken by banks. The rulemaking also requires banks to hold capital to cover operational risk, which is not covered under the existing (Basel I) requirements. Implementation of the Basel II standard in Europe began during 2007. Implementation of the U.S. Basel II rulemaking will begin with a ‘‘parallel run’’ on April 1, 2008 and formally go into effect for the first of three transitional years on January 1, 2009. This delay has led to concerns about a competitive imbalance between U.S. and foreign banks. There are also concerns about competitive imbalance between U.S. banks, and for that reason, regulators are expected to allow banks other than the ten largest U.S. banks to be able to choose between adopting the ‘‘Basel II advanced’’ approach, the current ‘‘Basel I’’ system, and an alternative ‘‘Basel II standardized’’ approach. The ‘‘Basel II standardized’’ approach is intended to be more risk-sensitive than Basel I, but easier to implement than the advanced Basel II approach. The ‘‘standardized’’ approach is intended to be broadly based upon a system proposed by the Basel committee that provides additional risk-sensitivity through use of external credit ratings, and internal risk measures for some types of assets (i.e., loan-to-value ratios for mortgages). This alternative approach would allow banks to potentially lower their capital requirements and provide small- and mid-sized banks a means to stay competitive with the larger Basel II banks. The regulators are working to develop the standardized approach and are expected to release the draft text for public comment during 2008. Pension Guarantees The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) insures pension benefits of workers and retirees in covered defined-benefit pension plans sponsored by private-sector employers. PBGC pays benefits, up to a guaranteed level, when a company with an underfunded pension plan meets the legal criteria to transfer its obligations to the pension insurance program. PBGC’s claims exposure is the amount by which qualified benefits exceed assets in insured plans. In the near term, the risk of loss stems from financially distressed firms with underfunded plans. In the longer term, loss exposure results from the possibility that healthy firms become distressed and well-funded plans become underfunded due to inadequate contributions, poor investment results, or increased liabilities. PBGC monitors companies with underfunded plans and acts to protect the interests of the pension insur- 89 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE ance program’s stakeholders where possible. Under its Early Warning Program, PBGC works with companies to strengthen plan funding or otherwise protect the insurance program from avoidable losses. However, PBGC’s authority to prevent undue risks to the insurance program is limited. As a result of a flawed pension funding system and exposure to losses from financially troubled plan sponsors, PBGC’s single-employer program incurred substantial losses from underfunded plan terminations in 2001 through 2006. The table below shows the ten largest plan termination losses in PBGC’s history. Nine of the ten have come since 2001. The program’s deficit at 2007 year-end stood at $13.1 billion, compared to a $9.7 billion surplus at 2000 yearend. This is actually a $5 billion improvement from 2006. PBGC’s operating results are subject to significant fluctuation from year to year, depending on the severity of losses from plan terminations, changes in the interest factors used to discount future benefit payments, investment performance, general economic conditions and other factors such as changes in law. While the improvement may give the impression that PBGC’s financial condition has improved, in fact its long-term loss exposure and flawed funding system continue to threaten its financial sustainability. 4 4 In addition, the airline relief provisions in the Pension Protection Act of 2006, which resulted in large plans previously classified as probable terminations being changed to the reasonably possible classification in 2006, likely postponed rather than eliminated losses, as it is likely that the airlines will eventually relapse and present a claim to the PBGC. If PBGC’s deficit were calculated without regard to PPA airline provisions, PBGC estimates that its net deficit shown in this report would be approximately $8 billion higher (assuming 2006 underfunding levels for the specific airline plans remained constant). In February 2005 the Administration proposed comprehensive reforms to address structural flaws in the statutory plan funding requirements and in the design of the insurance program. The proposal sought to strengthen funding for workers’ defined-benefit pensions; provide more accurate information about pension liabilities and plan underfunding; and enable PBGC to meet its obligations to participants in terminated pension plans. Many of the President’s reforms were incorporated into the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005, enacted in February 2006, and the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), enacted in August 2006. This legislation made significant structural changes to the retirement system, but did not fully address the long-term challenges facing PBGC. While the PBGC has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations for a number of years, neither the single-employer nor multiemployer program has the resources to satisfy fully the agency’s longterm obligations to plan participants. Further reforms are needed to address the current $14 billion gap between PBGC’s liabilities and its assets. The Budget proposes to give PBGC’s Board the authority to raise premiums to produce the revenue necessary to meet expected future claims and retire PBGC’s deficit over ten years. The current rate-setting mechanism is inflexible and does not allow the PBGC to respond to changing conditions in the defined benefit plan universe, in the financial markets in which pension plans invest, or in its own financial condition. Under this proposal, PBGC’s Board would have the flexibility to make a broad range of changes to pre- LARGEST TEN CLAIMS AGAINST THE PBGC’S SINGLE-EMPLOYER INSURANCE PROGRAM, 1975–2006 Top 10 Firms 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

The Administration is committed to restoring the solvency of the pension insurance system and avoiding a future taxpayer bailout. Disaster Insurance Flood Insurance The Federal Government provides flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency 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 the end of 2007, the program had over 5.5 million policies in more than 20,200 communities with over $1 trillion 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 affordable 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. However, structures built prior to flood mapping and NFIP floodplain management requirements, which make up 26 percent of the total policies in force, pay less than fully actuarial rates. 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 floodplains and have mortgages from federally regulated lenders. These strategies have resulted in policy growth of over 3 percent in 2007 with an increase of more than 180,000 policies. DHS also has a multi-pronged strategy for reducing future flood damage. The NFIP offers flood mitigation assistance grants to assist flood victims to rebuild to current building codes, including base flood elevations, thereby reducing future flood damage costs. In addition, two grant programs targeted toward repetitive and severe repetitive loss properties not only help owners of high-risk property, but also reduce the disproportionate drain on the National Flood Insurance Fund these properties cause through acquisition, relocation, or elevation. DHS is working to ensure that all of the flood mitigation grant programs are closely integrated, resulting in better coordination and communication with State and local governments. Further, through the Community Rating System, DHS adjusts premium rates to encourage community and State mitigation activities beyond those required by the NFIP. These efforts, in addition to the minimum NFIP requirements for floodplain management, save over $1 billion annually in avoided flood damages. The program’s reserve account, which is a cash fund, has sometimes had expenses greater than its revenue, forcing the NFIP to borrow funds from the Treasury in order to meet claims obligations. However, since the program began in 1968 and until 2005, the program has continued to repay all borrowed funds with interest. However, hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma generated more flood insurance claims than the cumulative number of claims from 1968 to 2004. These three storms resulted in over 234,000 claims with total claims payments expected to be approximately $20 billion. As a result, the Administration and the Congress have increased the borrowing authority to $20.8 billion to date in order to make certain that all claims could be paid. The catastrophic nature of the 2005 hurricane season has also triggered an examination of the program, and the Administration is working with the Congress to improve the program, based on the following principles: protecting the NFIP’s integrity by covering existing commitments; phasing out subsidized premiums in order to charge fair and actuarially sound premiums; increasing program participation incentives and improving enforcement of mandatory participation in the program; increasing risk awareness by educating property owners; and reducing future risks by implementing and enhancing mitigation measures. Although flood insurance reform was not achieved in 2007, the Administration looks forward to continuing to work with the Congress to enact program reforms that further mitigate the impact of flood damages and losses. Crop Insurance Subsidized Federal crop insurance administered by USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) assists farmers in managing yield and revenue shortfalls due to bad weather or other natural disasters. The 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 Government and also by the commercial reinsurance market to manage their individual risk portfolio. The Federal Government reimburses private companies for a portion of 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 2009 Budget reflects the Administration’s Farm Bill proposals, which include specific proposals for Crop Insurance. These include allowing farmers to purchase supplemental insurance that would cover their deductible in the event of a county-wide loss, reducing the expected loss ratio to 1.00 from 1.075, allowing the private insurance companies access to their data mining information, allow the Standard Reinsurance Agreement to be renegotiated once every 3 years, along with 91 7. CREDIT AND INSURANCE a continuation of a series of crop insurance reforms that have been proposed in the past that will increase program participation and at the same time control program costs. The 2009 Budget also includes language to open up authorized purposes under the mandatory R&D funds provided by Agriculture Risk Protection Act of 2000 (ARPA). Expansion of authorized uses will include data mining activities, the Common Information Management System (CIMS), and other IT cost related to reducing fraud waste and abuse and IT modernization. In addition, the 2009 Budget includes a proposal to implement a participation fee in the Federal crop insurance program. The participation fee would be charged to insurance companies participating in the Federal crop insurance program; based on a rate of about onethird cent per dollar of premium sold, the fee is expected to be sufficient to generate about $15 million annually beginning in 2010. The existing IT system is nearing the end of its useful life and recent years have seen increases in ‘‘down-time’’ resulting from system failures. New plans of insurance such as revenue and livestock insurance have greatly increased the size and complexity of the crop insurance program. These changes place a greater burden on the aging IT system resulting in increased IT maintenance costs and limit RMA’s ability to comply with Congressional mandates pertaining to data reconciliation with the Farm Service Agency. The participation fee will help alleviate these problems. There are various types of insurance programs. The most basic type of coverage is catastrophic coverage (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. Higher levels of coverage, called buy-up coverage, are also available. A premium is charged for buy-up coverage. The premium is determined by the level of coverage selected and varies from crop to crop and county to county. For the ten principal crops, which accounted for about 80 percent of total liability in 2007, the most recent data show that over 79 percent of eligible acres participated in the crop insurance program. RMA offers both yield and revenue-based insurance products. 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 or yield crop insurance by adding price variability to production history. RMA is continuously trying to develop new products or expand existing products in order to cover more types of crops. Two new Group Risk Protection risk management tools for pasture, rangeland and forage (PRF) protection were approved for the 2007 crop year. These innovative pilot programs are based on vegetation greenness and rainfall indices and were developed to provide livestock producers the ability to purchase insurance protection for losses of forage produced for grazing or harvested for hay. The pilots proved to be more popular than anticipated and both programs are being expanded to new areas for the 2008 crop year. Also new for the 2008 crop year is the Biotech Yield Endorsement (BYE) for non-irrigated corn. The BYE is being pilot tested in four states and will provide producers a premium rate reduction if they plant nonirrigated corn that is intended to be harvested for grain and has three specific biotech traits. The premium reduction is based on data showing that non-irrigated corn containing these specific traits has a lower risk of yield loss than non-traited corn. RMA continues to pursue a number of avenues to increase program participation among underserved States and commodities by working on declining yield issues and looking at discount programs for good experienced producers who pose less risk.

Insurance Against Security-Related Risks Terrorism Risk Insurance On November 26, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) of 2002 (P.L. 107–297), which was intended to help stabilize the insurance industry during a time of significant transition that followed the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Act established a temporary, three-year Federal program that provided a system of shared public and private compensation for insured commercial property and casualty losses arising from acts of foreign terrorism (as defined by the Act). In 2005, Congress passed a two-year extension (P.L.109–144), that narrowed the Government’s role by increasing private sector retentions, reducing lines of insurance covered by the program, and adding an event trigger amount for Federal payments. In December 2007, Congress passed a seven-year extension (P.L.110–318). The 2007 extension of TRIA added a requirement for commercial property and casualty insurance companies to offer insurance for losses from domestic as well as foreign acts of terrorism. The 2007 extension maintains for all seven extension years an insurer deductible of 20 percent of the prior year’s direct earned premiums, an insurer co-payment of 15 percent of insured losses above the deductible, and a $100 million event trigger amount for Federal payments. The 2007 extension changes mandatory recoupment provisions, requiring Treasury to collect 133 percent of the Federal payments made under the program, and accelerates time horizons for recoupment of any payments made before September 30, 2017. The President’s Working Group on Financial Markets (PWG) reported in September 2006 that the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program had achieved its goals of supporting the insurance industry post September 11, 2001. In terms of insurance availability, the PWG and successive industry analyses found record take-up rates 92 in 2006 of nearly 60 percent, compared with 27 percent in 2002. In addition, the PWG found significant improvements in affordability demonstrated by median terrorism insurance premiums falling from $37,700 in 2005 to $16,750 in 2006. These trends are also present in high risk commercial areas like New York City. Furthermore, the estimated $450 billion in industry-wide surplus currently held by property and casualty insurers exceeds pre-September 2001 levels. The Administration believes that TRIA should not be a permanent program, that private sector retentions under it should be increased, and that over time, the private market is the best provider of reinsurance. Over the coming year the Administration will examine possible changes to current law that could further develop the private terrorism reinsurance market. The Budget, for the first time, includes the estimated Federal cost of providing terrorism risk insurance, reflecting the 2007 TRIA extension. The growth in the private insurance market for this coverage provides data in the form of insurance premiums that show how private insurers estimate the likelihood of attack and price their projected losses. Using this market driven data, the Government can project annual outlays and recoupment under TRIA. These estimates represent the weighted average of TRIA payments over a full range of scenarios, most of which include no terrorist attacks (and therefore no TRIA payments), and some of which include terrorist attacks of varying magnitudes. The Budget projections, however, are in no way an official forecast of future attacks. On this basis, the Budget projects the 2007 TRIA extension will have a net deficit impact (spending less receipts from premium surcharges) of $1.78 billion over the 2009–2013 period and $3.85 billion over the 2009–2018 period. 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 addition to a number of short term responses, the Congress also passed the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–296). Among other provisions, this Act required the Secretary to provide additional war risk insurance coverage for hull losses and passenger liability to air carriers insured for third-party war risk liability as of June 19, 2002. The Department of Transportation Appropriations Act for 2008 (P.L. 110–161) further extended the requirement to provide insurance coverage through August 31, 2008. Acting on behalf of the Secretary, the FAA has made available insurance coverage for (i) hull losses at agreed value; (ii) death, injury, or property loss liability to passengers or crew, the limit being the same as that of the air ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES carrier’s commercial coverage before September 11, 2001; and (iii) third party liability, the limit generally being twice that of such coverage. The Secretary is also authorized to limit an air carrier’s third party liability to $100 million, when the Secretary certifies that the loss is from an act of terrorism. This program provides airlines with financial protection from war risk occurrences, and thus allows airlines to meet the basic requirement for adequate hull loss and liability coverage found in most aircraft mortgage covenants, leases and in government regulation. Without such coverage, many airlines might be grounded. Currently, aviation war risk insurance coverage is generally available from private insurers, but premiums are significantly higher in the private market. Also, private insurance coverage for occurrences involving weapons of mass destruction is more limited. Currently 75 air carriers are insured by Department of Transportation. 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 for these policies are deposited into the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund. In 2007, the Fund earned approximately $170 million in premiums for insurance provided by DOT, and it is anticipated that an additional $157 million in premiums will be earned in 2008. At the end of 2007, the balance in the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund available for payment of future claims was $951 million. Although no claims have been paid by the Fund since 2001, the balance in the Fund would be inadequate to meet either the coverage limits of the largest policies in force ($4 billion) or to meet a series of large claims in succession. The Federal Government would pay any claims by the airlines that exceed the balance in the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund. Aviation insurance program authority expires on March 30, 2008. The Administration does not support a straight extension of this program and instead favors a return to private sector mechanisms for managing risk. As part of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization, the Administration has proposed reforms that would gradually transition airlines from government provided insurance to privately provided insurance. Current law caps the premium rates that FAA may charge. Continuation of insurance coverage, if any, should allow FAA to set deductible levels as the first step in moving airlines to the private insurance market and reducing the indirect subsidy that the government currently provides. The Administration is committed to working with the Congress to reform this program, and to ensure that air carriers more equitably share in the risks associated with this program. 93 7.

AID TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS 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 $443.8 billion in 2007 and are estimated to be $466.6 billion in 2008 and $476.1 billion in 2009. These amounts include the value of loan subsidies for loans to State and local governments. Grant outlays to State and local governments for payments to individuals, such as Medicaid payments, are estimated to be 66 percent of total grants in 2009; grant outlays for physical capital investment, 16 percent; and grant outlays for all other purposes, largely education, training, and social services, 18 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 bonds from Federal taxation comprise the two largest categories of tax expenditures benefiting State and local governments. In 2009, these provisions are estimated to be worth $85.0 billion. 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. Tax expenditures that especially aid State and local governments are displayed separately at the end 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. Table 8–1.

Table 8–1 shows the distribution of grants by agency. Grant outlays by the Department of Health and Human Services are estimated to be $279.4 billion in 2009, almost 60 percent of total grant outlays. Most of the remaining grant spending is in the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Housing and Urban Development, and Transportation, which account for another 34 percent of grant outlays. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FEDERAL AID PROGRAM Several proposals in the 2009 Budget affect Federal aid to State and local governments and the important relationships between the levels of government. In addition to the proposals relating to specific grant programs discussed below, 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 through reducing improper payments and assessing performance of grants with the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART), as discussed in a later section of this chapter. Highlights of proposals affecting grants to State and local governments are presented below. For additional information on these proposals, see discussions in the main Budget volume. Homeland Security The 2009 Budget provides $2.2 billion in support, primarily in the form of grants to the Federal Government’s State and local partners in homeland security 107 108 and continues to emphasize programs which distribute grant awards on the basis of risk. In addition, the Budget introduces a new competitive grant program designed to address national vulnerabilities; this program supports REAL ID implementation and infrastructure protection projects in 2009. The Budget also strengthens border security and interior enforcement by partnering with State and local law enforcement to expand the 287(g) program. This program improves coordination and provides assistance and training in immigration law for State and local law enforcement officials. Natural Resources and Environment Grant outlays for natural resources and environment programs are estimated to be $5.9 billion in 2009. The 2009 Budget promotes the efficient use of water by partnering with State and local agencies to fund Water Conservation and Water Supply Studies through a competitive grant process. These studies will conserve water by improving water-use efficiency, increase water availability by assessing the impact of increased water demand and changing demographics on water supply, and prevent the decline of species by proactively addressing adverse environmental impacts on habitats. The Budget also helps States and communities finance wastewater and drinking water infrastructure needs. The Budget: • Adds 50 partners to the Water Lab Alliance network while continuing to provide training and technical assistance to improve the capabilities and capacity of the water sector. • Provides $555 million to meet the Administration’s commitment to provide $6.8 billion total between 2004–2011 for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF). Over the long term this will result in the Clean Water SRF providing an annual average of $3.4 billion in loans for wastewater infrastructure. • Provides $842 million for the Drinking Water SRF to continue the President’s commitment to capitalize the program until 2018. Over the long term this will result in the Drinking Water SRF providing an annual average of $1.2 billion in loans for drinking water infrastructure. • Removes the State volume cap on private activity bonds (PABs) issued for public purpose drinking water and wastewater facilities if the entity using the PABs implements full-cost pricing within five years. Community and Regional Development Grant outlays for community and regional development programs are estimated to be $17.1 billion in 2009. The 2009 Budget provides $2.8 billion in budget authority for the Community Development Block Grant program. This program needs reform and has been reduced from $3.9 billion in regular funding in 2008 because it is not well-targeted to the neediest commu- ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES nities and its results have not been adequately demonstrated. Education Grant outlays for elementary, secondary, and career and technical education are estimated to be $37.3 billion in 2009. The 2009 Budget continues to support reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), building on the Administration’s 2007 blueprint for reauthorizing and strengthening the law. The Budget provides $14.3 billion for Title I, a 63 percent increase since 2001; $1.0 billion for effective, research-based literacy instruction through Reading First; and $491 million for School Improvement Grants. With these grants, along with over $570 million reserved from Title I, States can help turn around low-performing schools. Additionally, the Budget supports expanded school choice for students at risk of being left behind including $236 million in Federal grants to charter schools (a $25 million increase), $300 million in Pell Grants for Kids to enable low-income students enrolled in low-performing schools to attend a private or out of district school, and $800 million available in new scholarships for lowincome students to participate in afterschool programs of their choice. The Budget also provides extra assistance for students most at risk of being left behind, including migrant students, students in state-run institutions, and limited English proficient students. The Budget also ensures the Nation’s future competitiveness by supporting the education components of the President’s American Competitiveness Initiative including providing $70 million to train teachers to teach Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate courses and expand low-income students’ access to them, $95 million for Math Now to improve instruction in mathematics, and $10 million for an Adjunct Teacher Corps to bring math and science professionals into high-need schools as teachers. Transportation Federal grants support State and local highway, transit, and airport construction programs. For 2009, grant outlays are estimated to be $56.1 billion for transportation programs. Specifically, the Budget provides $39.4 billion in obligation limitation for the Federal Aid Highway program to support authorized highway programs through 2009, the end of the current authorization law. This amount will contribute to satisfying the President’s 2005 agreement to provide $286.4 billion for surface transportation programs through the authorization period. The $10.1 billion contained in the Budget for transit assistance is also included in this total. In addition, the Budget requests $2.75 billion in budget authority for capital grants to States through the Federal Aviation Administration’s Airport Improvement Program. The 2009 Budget also provides $100 million for State matching grants for intercity passenger rail capital projects to empower States to address their transportation goals and priorities. It further includes $34 mil- 8. 109 AID TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS lion for grants from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to State pipeline agencies. Training and Employment Grant outlays for training and employment are estimated to be $4.2 billion in 2009. The 2009 Budget reforms the Department of Labor’s job training grant programs to increase significantly the number of workers trained while saving taxpayer dollars. The Budget consolidates several similar grant programs, eliminates unnecessary administrative expenditures, and proposes a State match to leverage more State resources for workforce investment. The Budget also creates Career Advancement Accounts, worker-directed accounts that help workers develop their skills and compete for 21st Century jobs. Social Services Grant outlays for social service programs are estimated to be $14.7 billion in 2009. The 2009 Budget strengthens programs for children by providing $7.0 billion in budget authority for Head Start to provide comprehensive, high-quality educational, health, nutritional, and social services to approximately 895,000 disadvantaged children and families and $20 million in budget authority for adoption incentives to build on the substantial increases in the number of adoptions since the mid-nineties. Health Grant outlays for health related programs are estimated to be $232.3 billion in 2009. In 2009, the Department of Health and Human Service’s Federal Medicaid outlays are estimated to be $215.7 billion. Medicaid is an open-ended means-tested entitlement program that is financed jointly by the Federal government and States. Medicaid provides health coverage and services to low-income children, pregnant women, elderly persons, and disabled individuals. The 2009 Budget enhances and reforms Medicaid by extending coverage for welfare recipients transitioning to work and continuing Medicare Part B premium assistance for qualified low-income seniors through September 30, 2009. Additionally, the Budget enhances States’ ability to implement premium assistance programs under Medicaid. Lastly, the Budget proposes reforms to improve program integrity, increase State flexibility, and promote cost-effective management of Medicaid dollars. The State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) was established in 1997 to provide health care coverage for low-income, uninsured children who do not qualify for Medicaid. The Budget proposes to reauthorize SCHIP through 2013 and increase funding above current levels by $19.7 billion over the same period to meet anticipated State needs in covering low-income, uninsured children. This proposal includes Federal outreach grants of $50 million in 2009 and $100 million in each of the following four years to reach eligible, uninsured children. The Access to Recovery program has provided substance abuse treatment and recovery support services to more than 199,000 people since 2004. The 2009 Budget supports faith-based community programs by providing $98 million to enhance this program. Additionally, the Budget proposes $204 million to prevent teenage pregnancy, pre-marital sexual activity, and the incidence of sexually transmitted disease through abstinence-only education. The 2009 Budget will expand care for vulnerable populations by strengthening access to drug treatment and prevention activities. The Budget provides $40 million for drug court services and $56 million to integrate screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment of drug abuse in emergency departments and other health care settings. Income Security Grant outlays for income security programs are estimated to be $94.9 billion in 2009. The 2009 Budget reauthorizes the Food Stamp Program and increases funding for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). Since 2001, the Department of Agriculture has provided food and nutrition benefits to an additional 9.1 million people participating in the Food Stamp program, and approximately one million women, infants and children participating in WIC. The Budget provides $6.1 billion in budget authority for WIC services, reaching an estimated 8.6 million beneficiaries in 2009. In keeping with the Administration’s promotion of childhood wellness and fitness, the Department is issuing updated WIC food packages that reduce maximum allowances of certain foods and promote the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. The 2009 Budget expands affordable housing and minority homeownership by providing $2 billion for the HOME Investment Partnerships program (HOME), including $50 million for the American Dream Downpayment Initiative, which provides flexible housing assistance and increases affordable housing and minority homeownership. Since the inception of the HOME program sixteen years ago, almost 812,000 units of affordable housing have been created. The Budget also: • Funds Housing Choice Vouchers for over two million extremely low- to low-income families, while removing the cap on the maximum number of housing units Public Housing Authorities can assist. • Supports Public Housing Operating Fund by providing $4.3 billion, a 21⁄2 percent increase over last year and the highest proposed funding level in history. This funding will provide the necessary operating expenses for 1.2 million public housing units. • Expands Homeless Assistance Grants by providing over $1.6 billion in budget authority for funding at least 160,000 beds for homeless individuals. Aided by this Administration initiative, the Department of Housing and Urban Development documented an unprecedented 11.5 percent decline in homelessness from 2005 to 2006. 110 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Administration of Justice Grant outlays for administration of justice programs are estimated to be $4.2 billion in 2009. The 2009 Budget supports State and local law enforcement by reforming the Byrne Public Safety and Protection Program to provide money for State and local criminal justice needs, including Project Safe Neighborhoods, the DNA Initiative, Prisoner Re-entry, and other priorities, to be funded through competitive grants. The Budget also funds the Violent Crime Reduction Partnership Initiative which is targeted to support multi-jurisdictional task forces to help communities that have experienced an increase in violent crime. Overall, more than 70 State and local law enforcement assistance programs representing over $2 billion in spending are proposed for consolidation into four flexible and competitive grants, which will eliminate earmarks and formulas, and improve the ability of States, localities, and Tribes to respond to increases in violent crime by better targeting funds to key criminal justice priorities. These four competitive grant programs include the Violent Crime Reduction Partnership, the Byrne Public Safety and Protection Program, the Violence Against Women Program, and the Child Safety and Juvenile Justice Program. 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 fiveyear period using the Program Assessment Rating Tool, or PART. With this budget, the sixth year of using the PART, the Administration has evaluated about 98 percent of the Budget. The PART 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— with results/accountability carrying 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 good performance measures or lacks data for existing measures. Chapter 2 of this volume discusses the PART in more detail. As shown in Table 8–2, 280 of the programs that have been assessed are primarily grants to State and local governments. Of these 280, 97 programs, or 35 percent of all grant programs assessed, received a rating of ‘‘Results Not Demonstrated’’. This is higher than for all programs, in which 19 percent were given this rating. Factors that hinder the ability of some grant programs to demonstrate results include the wide breadth of purpose of some grants, lack of agreement among grantees and Federal parties on the purpose and performance measures, and therefore lack of focused planning to achieve common goals. Table 8–2 also shows that the average rating for the 280 grant programs was ‘‘adequate.’’ • 22 were rated effective; • 66 were rated moderately effective; • 79 were rated adequate; and • 16 were rated ineffective. • 97 were rated ‘‘results not demonstrated’’; If the 97 programs rated ‘‘Results Not Demonstrated’’ are excluded, the average rating was ‘‘adequate’’; the same as the rating for all 280 grants. The ratings of the largest five of these 280 grant programs are summarized here, with funding estimates from the 2007 spring update of PART programs. More complete summaries of these and other programs can be found at www.ExpectMore.gov. • Department of Health and Human Services: Medicaid ($190.6 billion in 2007). Rating: Adequate. Medicaid is a means-tested, Federal-State funded entitlement program that provides medical assistance, including acute and long-term care, to families with dependent children as well as aged, blind, or disabled individuals. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provides Federal oversight of this program. In 2007, the number of Medicaid enrollees was 49.1 million. Nearly one in every four children in America relies on Medicaid for health coverage. Two-thirds of all Medicaid enrollees are in low-wage working families. Medicaid also pays for six out of every ten beds in nursing homes. Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) created new performance measures that assess health quality and focus on improving program management. More work needs to be done; CMS is working on a national strategy to improve the quality of care across State Medicaid programs and is developing a national payment error rate for Medicaid. The Federal government matches all allowable State dollars spent on Medicaid, regardless of the amount or quality of service. This funding structure leaves Medicaid vulnerable, and has enabled States to shift costs to Medicaid that may not be appropriate. • Department of Transportation: Highway Infrastructure ($38.3 billion in 2007). Rating: Adequate. The purpose of the FHWA’s Highway Infrastructure Program is to provide financial grants and technical assistance to States to construct, maintain, and improve the performance of the Nation’s 8. 111 AID TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Table 8–2.

The majority of funds are allocated to States, which ultimately use the funds directly for highway maintenance and construction. However, projects are chosen by the States themselves and are not based on need or the value-added to the Nation’s highway system. In 2004, 42 percent of Federal funds ($13 billion) was spent on projects off of the National Highway System which were not determined to have national significance. The program’s long-term trends do show improvement for all strategic outcome measures. The program, with the State departments of transportation, has recently implemented a financial integrity review and evaluation procedure as a remedy to longstanding issues. As a result of the new initiative, the Agency eliminated a grants management material weakness in the Highway Trust Fund 2006 financial statements and is working next to eliminate additional internal control weaknesses. • Department of Health and Human Services: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) ($17.1 billion in 2007). Rating: Moderately Effective. This program provides time-limited cash assistance to needy families with children while working toward achieving the goals of ending dependence by promoting work and marriage, preventing out-of-wedlock births, and encouraging the formation and maintenance of two-parent families. The program has produced modest, but statistically significant increases in employment and earnings among welfare recipients as well as reduced caseloads, poverty, and welfare dependency. It is inconclusive whether the program has promoted marriage or reduced the incidence of outof-wedlock births, but the program has a new performance measure to increase the number of children living in married couple households. • Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD): Housing Vouchers ($15.9 billion in 2007). Rating: Moderately Effective. The Housing Choice Voucher Program assists two million extremely low to low-income households across the country to afford housing. The program purpose is to help these families afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing. Tenants, who may otherwise pay over 50 percent of their income to rent an apartment in the private market, pay 30 percent of their income under this program. A variety of studies show housing vouchers to be a cost-effective means of delivering affordable housing for very low-income families. Because these housing subsidies are portable, the program allows families access to often better housing, in better neighborhoods. As a part of the 2009 Budget, the Administration proposes reforms that include a rental funding structure that simplifies the program and decreases the likelihood of improper payments, and allocates program funding on a budget, rather than on a unit basis. The Administration will also continue to work with Congress to streamline the program, giving more flexibility to Public Housing Agencies to administer the program to serve more families and better address local needs and market conditions. • Department of Education: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies ($12.8 billion for 2007). Rat- 112 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES ing: Moderately Effective. This program provides supplemental education funding, especially in high-poverty areas, for local activities that help improve the performance of low-achieving students or, in the case of school-wide programs, to help all students in high-poverty schools to meet challenging State academic standards. The program has developed meaningful long-term performance measures, established baselines, and set annual targets required to meet ambitious statutory academic proficiency goals. First-year data show a rate of progress consistent with meeting annual performance targets. The Department of Education has expanded and strengthened its monitoring of State and local program implementation, including compliance with statutory requirements and fiscal management practices. 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, but are also 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 lowest average score of the seven PART types, 5 percent of block grant programs assessed to date were rated ‘‘ineffective’’, and 30 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. The Administration continues its analysis and evaluation of block grant programs and will apply the lessons learned from the effective programs to those performing inadequately. Results of the evaluation 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 over the next several 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 veterans benefits and services functions are combined in the ‘‘other functions’’ line in the table. 8. 113 AID TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS Table 8–3.

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 114 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES services; and transportation, with combined estimated grant outlays of $405.3 billion, or more than 90 percent of total grant outlays in 2007. 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 $208.3 billion in 2007. 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 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 $259.0 billion in 2007. The three largest mandatory grant programs are Medicaid, with outlays of $190.6 billion in 2007, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, $16.9 billion, and child nutrition programs, $12.9 billion. The funding level for discretionary grant programs is determined annually through appropriations acts. Outlays for discretionary grant programs were $184.8 billion in 2007. Table 8–4 at the end of this chapter identifies discretionary and mandatory grant programs separately. For more information on 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. 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 about a third of the total in 1960 to slightly less than two-thirds in the mid-1990s, and have remained about that proportion since then. 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, 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 2007, grants for physical capital were $70.8 billion, 16 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 2007. 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 16 percent in 2007. Grants as a percentage of domestic programs were 22 percent in 2007. As a percentage of total State and local expenditures, grants have increased from 19 percent in 1990 to 23 percent in 2007. 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 21 percent of State and local gross investment in 2007. 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 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). Current and updated grant receipt information by State and local governments can be found on USAspending.gov. This public website also contains contract and loan information and is updated monthly. 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 Bureau’s major reports and databases on grant-making include: • Federal Aid to States, a report on Federal spending by State for grants for the most recently completed fiscal year. 8. 115 AID TO STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS • The Consolidated Federal Funds Report is an annual document that shows the distribution of Federal spending by State and county areas and by local governmental jurisdictions. • The Federal Assistance Awards Data System (FAADS) provides computerized information about current grant funding. Data on all direct assistance awards are provided quarterly to the States and to the Congress. • The Federal Audit Clearinghouse maintains an on-line database (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. The Bureau of Economic Analysis, also in the Department of Commerce, publishes the monthly Survey of Current Business, which 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.’’ 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 and 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 www.cfda.gov.

INTEGRATING SERVICES WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY As one of the largest users and acquirers of data, information and supporting technology systems in the world, the United States Government continues its efforts to strengthen its capabilities in managing technology and information in order to be the world’s leader in information technology. The President proposes to spend nearly $71 billion for Information Technology (IT) and the associated support services. Departments and agencies continue to build upon their successes including their efforts with portfolio management by continuing to focus on results by applying the principles and methods of Earned Value Management (EVM) to achieve improved customer service levels and greater savings. ACHIEVING RESULTS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE The Federal government continues to make progress by maximizing its IT investments to deliver program results through the adoption of electronic government management principles and best practices. Departments and agencies continue to focus on: • Improving service levels to citizens and government decision makers; • Securing our systems and data; • Making better purchasing decisions; and • Reducing duplication and related costs. This Budget chapter and Table 9–1, ‘‘Effectiveness of Agency’s IT Management and E-Gov Processes,’’ fulfill the statutory reporting requirement of the ClingerCohen Act of 1996. Table 9–1 and other tables referenced in the text are available on-line at www.budget.gov or on the CD–ROM with printed versions provided by the Government Printing Office. Other management guidance provided to Federal departments and agencies is included in Table 9–2, ‘‘Management Guidance,’’ which accompanies this chapter, and individual guidance memoranda are available at www.whitehouse.gov/OMB/memoranda. Government Performance.—The Federal government has shown improvement over the last year in achieving the goals specifically included in the President’s Management Agenda (PMA), for the Expanded Electronic Government (E-Government) initiative. For example, each IT investment must have specific performance targets tied to a specific, significant, beneficial impact for our citizens with performance being defined to deliver measurable results. The Federal departments and agencies continue to improve in their efforts to guarantee success and results for the taxpayer. There were 585 major investments representing about $27 billion on the ‘‘Management Watch List (MWL),’’ i.e., those IT investment justifications needing improvement in performance measurement, earned value management or system security. Before the start of each fiscal year, agencies are directed to remediate the shortfalls identified prior to expending additional funds. The agencies work to remediate the weaknesses or put measures in place to mon- itor the progress of an IT investment, which could include multiple projects. If an investment is still on the MWL agencies must describe their plans to manage or mitigate risk before undertaking or continuing development activities related to that investment. As of December 31, 2007, 52 percent of the agencies (14 of 27) had acceptable 2008 business cases. Remaining on last year’s MWL, there were 134 business cases valued in 2008 at $8.6 billion from thirteen agencies. Table 9–3, ‘‘Management Watch List for FY 08,’’ provides a listing of the 134 business cases by department and agency. The IT projects associated with these investments have been moved to the High Risk List. Table 9–4, ‘‘High Risk IT Projects as of September 30, 2007,’’ is a complete listing to date of all High Risk IT projects being monitored by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and/or the departments and agencies. This year, 585 of the 810 2009 major IT investments are on the MWL as of December 31, 2007. See Table 9–5, ‘‘Agencies with IT Investments on the Management Watch List.’’ In the evaluation of the departments’ and agencies’ business cases, the following criteria were used for placing investments on the MWL [Table 9–6, ‘‘FY 2009 Exhibit 300 Evaluation Criteria,’’ provides the explanation for numeric evaluation for the business cases]: • Overall Evaluation of 30 or less; • Security Evaluation of 3 or less; • If any other evaluation element has a rating of 2 or less; • Project Manager Rating mismatched between Exhibit 53 and Exhibit 300; • Project Manager identified has not been validated as qualified for the Investment as identified on the Exhibit 53; • Agencies failing to receive a ‘‘satisfactory’’ or better evaluation by the agency IG in their annual Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) reports due to OMB on October 1, 2007 for the quality of their C&A process; • Agencies failing to receive a ‘‘satisfactory’’ or better evaluation by the agency IG in their annual 157 158 FISMA reports due to OMB on October 1, 2007 for the quality of their PIA process and the investment requires a PIA; • The agency is currently red for the Cost/Schedule Performance element of the PMA E-Gov Scorecard; and/or • Overall Consistency Issue. OMB will release investments remaining on the MWL in the spring of 2008 for the quarter ending March 31, 2008. Departments and agencies have been provided the specific information regarding the weaknesses for their investments. Many of the investments still need to address security, performance measures, implementation of earned value management and other issues prior to obligating funding in 2009. Table 9–7, ‘‘Comparison of the Management Watch List by Fiscal Year,’’ illustrates the analysis of total portfolio including the number of projects on the High Risk List. Table 9–8, ‘‘Number of Recurring Investments on the Management Watch List,’’ includes by department and agency the same investments on the MWL since inception. The ‘‘high risk list’’ approach is separate and distinct from the MWL since it presents oversight authorities with information differing in focus, timing and expected results. It is not designed to replace pre-existing oversight and internal agency processes, but rather to supplement and complement them. The objective of the analysis is to manage the risk associated with the IT projects each quarter to achieve the intended outcomes. Each quarter agencies evaluate and report to OMB on the performance of the high risk projects. These projects are considered high-risk, requiring special attention from the highest level of agency management and oversight authorities due to size, complexity, and/or nature of the risk of the project, but are not necessarily atrisk. Unlike the MWL, the high risk list contains a mix of major and non-major systems, as well as discrete projects and programmatic activities. The criteria for inclusion on the high risk list include, but are not limited to: Major systems the agency or OMB deems to be high risk due to a variety of factors, such as: • high cost; • complexity; • high profile political or citizen interest; • cross-organizational or agency impact or interdependencies with other systems efforts; • major systems on the MWL at the conclusion of the prior fiscal year and continuing to warrant heightened attention during project execution; • major systems formally designated as an E-Government or Line of Business (LoB) Shared Service Provider; • planned or underway E-Government initiative migration projects (which are removed upon completion); • existing or legacy agency systems retiring once their functionality has been migrated to a common solution (also removed once retired); and ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES • Program or Program Management Office activities supporting government-wide common solutions. OMB and agencies monitor the status of projects on the high risk list, and track their progress in establishing goals and performance against cost and schedule baselines. The Report on Information Technology (IT) Spending for the Federal Government (Exhibit 53) located at www.whitehouse.gov/OMB, provides details of the Administration’s proposed 2009 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 in the spring of 2008. The 2009 proposed IT investments were analyzed for trends and potential duplications across government entities. At about $71 billion, the 2009 Federal IT portfolio represents a 3.8 percent increase over the 2008 President’s Budget. The following represents the highlights: Major IT Investments .......................... Not Well Planned and Managed ........ Well Planned and Managed ............... 1 Change FY 2007 FY 2008 FY 2009 857 263 594 840 364 494 810 535 275 Percent 1 Change –4% 47% –44% from 2008 to 2009. When duplication across Federal agencies has been identified, the Administration has an ongoing process to bring together the appropriate agencies and help them to consider broad-based approaches to promote inter-agency data sharing and cooperation in building common solutions, rather than maintaining separate investments. Upon migration to common, governmentwide solutions, agencies will shut down existing systems—which will not only save money but also freeup resources for agencies to better focus on achieving their missions. These inter-agency taskforces focus on the agency line of business (LoB) rather than a specific technology or investment. The following are the current LoB initiatives underway: • Case Management; • Federal Health Architecture; • Financial Management; • Human Resources Management; • Grants Management; • Information System Security; • Budget Formulation and Execution; • IT Infrastructure; and • Geospatial. The inter-agency taskforces have driven significant accomplishments for each LoB initiative. The IT Infrastructure (ITI) LoB puts in place a government-wide approach for measuring and optimizing agency infrastructures to enhance cost efficiency/service levels and better enable core agency missions and customer-centric services. The ITI LoB, with the assistance of industry experts, will provide tools and metrics for agencies to leverage in order to optimize their commodity infrastructure cost efficiency/service level metrics. The ITI 9. 159 INTEGRATING SERVICES WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY LoB will provide tools and metrics in the following areas: • Desktop/Seat Management and Support; • Data Centers; and • Data Networks and Telecommunications. Accomplishments of this LoB and the remaining LoB initiatives as well as the next steps are included in Table 9–9, ‘‘Lines of Business (LoB) Update.’’ The Administration continues to leverage government buying power while reducing redundant purchases through the SmartBUY program. Launched in June 2003, the SmartBUY program continues to provide increased cost avoidance savings to Federal agencies through new and existing agreements with commercial software providers. The SmartBUY Office located at the General Services Administration (GSA) continues to manage a total of twenty-five agreements within nine programs. In June 2007, SmartBUY awarded the multiple award agreement in support of OMB policy memorandum, M–06–16, ‘‘Protection of Sensitive Agency Information,’’ which would include data at rest and remote access. These agreements included the ability of the state, local and tribal governments to procure products leveraging the federal government’s buying power and receiving reduced pricing to meet their needs. In October 2007, the Administration broadened the scope of the current SmartBUY agreements to offer cost savings to all U.S. Federal government agencies (including DoD) for volume purchases. This ensures optimal pricing and leverages federal purchasing power. To date, the Federal government has avoided and/or saved more than $600 million dollars ($133 million in 2007) through the use of this program. In August 2006, OMB released Memorandum 06–22 (M–06–22), Cost Savings Achieved Through E–Government and Line of Business Initiatives. M–06–22 asked agencies to identify legacy investments impacted by agency use of an E-Gov or LoB initiative and develop baseline cost estimates for these investments. Going forward, it is expected agencies savings will be realized by the migration of functions from their legacy systems, which can be terminated, to government wide common solutions. Agencies were requested to measure actual costs for the identified investments on an ongoing basis to provide the basis for estimating these savings. Based on agency-reported estimated costs for 2007 as compared to agency-reported actual costs for the 2007, estimated gross cost savings is approximately $508 million. 2007 Baseline Cost Estimate—Investments Impacted by E-Gov $7,331M .................................................................................... 2007 Actual Costs $6,823M 2007 Gross Cost Savings $508M OMB is continuing to work with agencies to identify additional legacy investments impacted by E-Gov and LoB initiatives. Government IT Workforce.—With rapid advances in IT, improved program performance is first and foremost driven by the Federal employees who manage the IT projects and portfolios. Qualified project managers and an IT workforce with the necessary skills and competencies help ensure agency investments are well planned and managed. In 2007, an IT Workforce Assessment Survey was developed and administered by the Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council. Using the survey results, agencies prepared a gap analysis report and improvement plan which identified competencies for improvement, staffing targets, and milestones with specific dates to successfully reach targets established. Agencies submitted plans to Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in June 2007. Progress against these plans is measured and included in the President’s Management Agenda Human Capital Scorecard. As of September 1, 2007, 24 of 25 scorecard agencies have IT professionals on board have: • met planned skill or competency gap closure milestones; and • met or are consistently meeting their IT hiring targets. The table below provides a summary of agency progress toward hiring goals.

As reported by agencies on their 2009 Exhibit 53 submissions, 88 percent of major IT investments have qualified project managers, an increase from approximately 83 percent in agency 2008 submissions. Going forward, agencies will continue to carry out the actions in their IT gap analysis and improvement plans. In June 2008, agencies will submit a measured results report to OPM comparing projected goals established in 2007 to actual outcomes in 2008. Securing Government Systems.—The Federal government continues to improve information security performance relative to certification and accreditation rates and testing of security controls and contingency plans. In 2007, the percentage of certified and accredited systems rose from 88 percent to 92 percent. Even greater gains were reported in testing of security controls— from 88 percent of systems to 95 percent of systems— and for contingency plan testing—from 77 percent to 86 percent. Several larger agencies reported especially notable progress regarding these measures, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 160 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES (NASA), the Department of State, Treasury, and the Department of Defense. Agencies have also maintained or improved performance relative to Inspector General qualitative assessments of IT security processes. Overall quality of the certification and accreditation processes as determined by agency Inspectors General (IG) increased compared to 2006, with76 percent of agencies reporting ‘‘satisfactory’’ or better processes, up from 60 percent the prior year. 76 percent of agencies also demonstrated they have an effective process in place for identifying and correcting weaknesses using Plans of Action and Milestone (POA&M) management processes. Departments and agencies progress against their corrective actions plans is measured in the President’s Management Agenda Expanded Electronic Government Scorecard. Agencies report quarterly on their efforts to address IT security weaknesses against key IT security performance measures. The overall security status and progress in percentage of systems, from 2002 to 2007, is as follows: (In Fiscal Years) 2002 Effective Security and Privacy Controls (C&A) ................................................

The next such report will be issued by March 1, 2008 and will be made available on OMB’s website. Protecting Privacy.—In May 2006, the President signed an Executive Order creating the Federal Identity Theft Task Force. The Task Force issued its strategic plan which was submitted to the President. It is available at http://www.idtheft.gov. Several of the Task Force’s recommendations address the need to improve data security in the government, improve the agencies’ ability to respond to data breaches, and reduce the risk to personally identifiable information. In this context, OMB has continued to issue security and privacy policy and advisory memoranda. These memoranda reemphasize agency responsibilities under law and policy regarding protection and safeguard of sensitive personally identifiable information, including information accessed through removable media, and incident reporting. They are included in Table 9–2, ‘‘Management Guidance,’’ and are available at: www.whitehouse.gov/OMB/memoranda. To help ensure safeguard of personally identifiable information, agencies are required to report on several performance metrics related to information privacy. In 2007’s annual FISMA report, agency IGs also provided a qualitative assessment of the quality of the agency’s 47% 35% 60% 7,957 2003 62% 48% 64% 7,998 2004 77% 57% 76% 8,623 2005 2006 2007 85% 61% 72% 10,289 88% 77% 88% 10,595 93% 86% 95% 10,304 Privacy Impact Assessment process. The 2007 agency FISMA reports no overall percentage improvement in meeting several key privacy performance measures: • Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs). In 2007, 84 percent of applicable systems government-wide have publicly posted privacy impact assessments verses the goal of 90 percent. • System of Records Notices (SORNs). In 2007, 83 percent of systems government-wide with personally identifiable information contained in a system of records covered by the Privacy Act have developed, published, and maintained current systems of records notices verses the goal of 90 percent. • IG assessment of Quality of agency PIA process. In 2007, 76 percent of IG’s rated the agency’s PIA process as satisfactory or better. (Two agencies did not complete the assessment due to time constraints, as this metric was added to the annual report requirements only 2 months prior to the report due date.) Though the overall percent of systems with PIAs and SORNs for those systems require one stayed the same in 2007’s annual FISMA report compared to the 2006 FISMA annual report, it is important to note agencies have increased the number of systems identified as requiring PIAs and SORNS significantly, collectively by more than 500 and 700 systems respectively. Thus to maintain the overall percentage of completion despite a sizable increase in the inventory is indicative of continued progress. Initiative to Secure Federal Information Systems and Facilities.—Inconsistent agency approaches to facility security and computer security are inefficient and costly, and increase risks to the Federal government. On August 27, 2004, the President issued Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD–12) titled, ‘‘Policy for a Common Identification Standard for Federal Employees and Contractors,’’ to address the recommenda- 9. INTEGRATING SERVICES WITH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY tion of the 9–11 Commission to improve the security of our federal facilities and information systems. In accordance with HSPD–12, agencies are required to follow specific technical standards and business processes for the issuance of federal credentials including a standardized background investigation to verify employees’ and contractors’ identities. In October 2006, agencies met the major milestone of their HSPD–12 implementation plans to begin issuance of compliant identification cards. As of September 2007, departments and agencies had issued HSPD–12 identity credentials to 1 percent of the total workforce. OMB issued additional instructions to improve public reporting of the federal government’s progress towards our milestones. As of December 31, 2007, with more accurate reporting from the departments and agencies, the required background investigations for 56 percent of federal employees and 43 percent for contractors have been completed. In accordance with their HSPD–12 implementation plans, by October 27, 2008, agencies are expected to complete background investigations for all existing employees and contractors and have their infrastructure and capabilities in place so they are issuing credentials as standard business practice. Initiative for Improving Government Networking Capabilities.—In order for the departments and agencies to overcome technical limitations arising from this need to interoperate and support emerging requirements and technologies, the Administration set June 2008 as the date by which all agencies’ infrastructure (network backbones) must be IPv6-capable. Since the publication of OMB guidance in August 2005, agencies have been working toward the demonstration of capability to route IPv6 packets within their respective network backbones, to meet the June 2008 mandate. At the same time, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been working toward development of a technical profile and testing infrastructure for longer term product compliance. 161 The NIST will release a standards profile in March 2008 which will become effective 24 months following its publication date. The profile is a forward looking planning tool for Agencies, IPv6 equipment suppliers, testing laboratories, test equipment suppliers and Accreditation bodies. Since it is vital to protect critical US infrastructure, the technical profile includes sufficient security requirements, including a specification for Network Protection Devices as a first barrier against unauthorized access, and also effective deployment of the latest IP Security (IPsec) specifications, to provide integrity and authentication. In addition, the Federal Acquisition Regulation Council is finalizing language linking identifiable compliant IPv6 products with acquisition regulations. Making Government Accessible to All.—Agency public websites continue to provide citizens timely information and services. For example, General Services Administration’s (GSA’s) Office of Citizen Services and Communications manages the operations of USA.gov, which serves as a consolidated gateway to all Federal websites and the information they publish. Providing access to government information helps ensure a well-informed citizenry, and promotes public participation in agency activities. An example is Regulations.gov, a government-wide website for rulemaking which facilitates public participation in the Federal regulatory process. Regulations.gov allows citizens, business and other government entities to easily find, view, and comment on Federal regulatory action. The portal allows the public to communicate with a wide range of government agencies whose regulations may affect their daily lives. The site acts as a mechanism for the public to have a voice in influencing upcoming Federal regulations. An E-Rulemaking analysis of Regulations.gov projects the initiative will save the Federal government more than $100 million over a five-year period since agencies will not need to deploy or maintain duplicative electronic comment management systems. SUCCESSFULLY USING ELECTRONIC GOVERNMENT The departments and agencies continue to leverage information technologies to make government services available to citizens 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 will far outweigh the cost of implementation. Increased agency adoption and customer utilization continues to be measured. The expanded availability of government information and the utilization of an increased percentage of transactions between the Federal government and citizens is being measure and made available on line at http:// www.egov.gov. Examples of how the tenets of E-Government are helping to deliver services to the citizen and make the government more effective include: Department of State Virtual Presence Posts State’s Virtual Presence Posts (VPPs) are an innovative approach to extend the reach of State Department diplomatic services and consular information to cities and populations not served by physical embassies and consulates. The VPPs use information technology to deliver services cost-effectively, without the risks and challenges of staffing additional overseas posts. Currently, 41 VPPs are in operation in all regions of the world. These VPP web sites are designed to serve both 162 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES local country residents and US citizens. VPP sites connect Americans and foreign nationals at the government to government, government to foreign national, and American citizen to foreign national levels. They provide a variety of services tailored to local requirements by the country team. These services usually include consular information, web-based engagement (through web chats and online forums) and other limited services. State regularly tracks the activities of VPP and tracks the number of visits to each of these sites. The VPPs are a highly leveraged and cost-effective mechanism for promoting US interests and engaging local populations around the world. The Department’s Human Resources Bureau estimates to maintain a single US Foreign Service Officer costs at least $1 million annually, including $400,000 for employee costs. Establishing a Virtual Presence Post (VPP), costs approximately $10,000 for the website, $1,000 for annual hosting, and approximately $10,000 for Embassy visits to that city. The VPPs using web technologies assist those with visual or mobility disabilities to access USG information. VPP websites are section 508 compliant and are easily accessible from anywhere internet access is available; homes, public locations such as American Corners, Binational Centers and internet cafes. This wide availability can be especially helpful to those who face difficulties in traveling to the nearest embassy or consulate. While The VPP program has been managed through State’s capital planning as a minor investment it is following State department’s processes and procedures to ensure the VPP’s deliver their intended benefits to the communities. Department of Housing and Urban Development National Housing Locator Service When disaster occurs, emergency response agencies and staff need flexible, innovative tools to quickly address basic human needs such as housing, food, and medical services. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), in support of FEMA, State and Local Housing Authorities, and other First Responders, launched the intergovernmental National Housing Locator Service (NHLS) website in January 2007. The NHLS is an accessible, searchable, web-based clearinghouse of over 200,000 rental housing vacancies available nationwide for emergency use. In less than a year, the NHLS has come to represent a new model for quickly developing information applications to address HUD’s strategic requirements and allows HUD to interoperate easily with other government organizations. Prior to this solution, government housing agencies and first responders would manually, over the course of weeks, collect, compile, and verify vacancy information from multiple agency legacy systems and on-line sources one by one. With NHLS, there is now one streamlined business process supported by stateof-the-art technology delivering quality data, day or night. The move to the NHLS citizen-centric, one-stop portal is transforming the housing locator process and is realizing cost savings through the efficiencies achieved by reducing the housing locator process from weeks to seconds. This modern approach to application development allows HUD to invest incrementally in the program, in response to real-world requirements that evolve quickly in step with the nation’s disaster-response capabilities. The Administration continues the focus of the department and agency specific services movement to citizencentered services. Overall funding for the President’s E-Government initiatives has reduced annually since 2004 as the initiatives have met their milestones and have become incorporated into the daily operations of Federal departments and agencies. This reduction has come as result of moving the initiatives to fee-for-service models where appropriate, thereby eliminating the need for agency contributions. Chapter 9, Table 9–10, ‘‘Status of the Presidential E-Government Initiatives,’’ provides an update for each project. CONTINUING TO ACHIEVE RESULTS In 2009 and beyond, the Federal government will continue to identify IT opportunities for collaboration and consolidation while improving services. The Federal government has huge potential and opportunities for growth and to ensure program success and results through the effective use of information technology. In the coming year, each department and agency will leverage existing capabilities to the maximum potential while ensuring reliability, security, privacy and continuity of services. Key milestones will be achieved by the departments and agencies to strengthen their information resources programs. The deployment of the Federal Desktop Core Configuration in conjunction with IPv6, optimization of infrastructure in particular limiting external access points (Trusted Internet Connections initiative) with authorized access to physical and logical systems (HSPD–12 credentials) are all being realized in 2008. The institution of the management practices along with the strengthened infrastructure within each department and agency and throughout the government will ensure these results. GSA in conjunction with OMB will work with the Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council and individual departments’ and agencies’ CIOs to put into place a program to assess the policy uptake. This program will assist the CIO to ensure clear results are being demonstrated to achieve the outcome of improved information assurance, optimization of resources and performance levels. By completing these initiatives, the departments and agencies will be able to continue to improve their program and mission delivery and evolve their services into the next generation, Web 2.0 services. 10.

CALIFORNIA–FEDERAL BAY–DELTA PROGRAM BUDGET CROSSCUT (CALFED) The California-Federal Bay-Delta program (also known as CALFED) is a cooperative effort of the Federal Government, the State of California, local Governments, and water users, to proactively address the water management and aquatic ecosystem needs of California’s Central Valley. This valley, one of the most productive agricultural regions of the world, is drained by the Sacramento River in the north and the San Joaquin River in the south. The two rivers meet southwest of Sacramento, forming the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and drain west into San Francisco Bay. The extensive development of the area’s water resources has significantly boosted agricultural production, but has also adversely affected the region’s ecosystems. CALFED participants recognized the need to provide a safe, clean, reliable source of water for multiple uses, while at the same time restoring or maintaining the ecosystems of the area and protecting against floods. This recognition resulted in the 1994 Bay-Delta Accord, which laid the foundation for the CALFED program. CALFED’s adaptive management approach to water resources development and management seeks to balance achievement among the program’s four objectives: Water Supply Reliability, Levee System Integrity, Water Quality, and Ecosystem Restoration. The program integrates science and monitoring into program management to track progress to- ward achieving those goals. The parties signed a Record of Decision in 2000, spelling out the different program components and goals. In 2004, the President signed the Calfed Bay-Delta Authorization Act (P.L. 108–361) into law. This Act, authorizing funding and activities for the CALFED program through 2010, provides new programmatic authority for participating agencies, authorizes $395 million to be appropriated for the Federal share of CALFED activities, and specifies criteria for program cost-shares and achieving balanced implementation of CALFED program components. Federal agencies contributing to CALFED goals include: the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation, Fish and Wildlife Service, and U.S. Geological Survey; the Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service; the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; the Department of Commerce’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and the Environmental Protection Agency. The Budget includes a crosscut of estimated Federal funding by each of the CALFED agencies, fulfilling the reporting requirements of P.L. 108–361. The Analytical Perspectives volume also contains a table with further detail as part of supplemental material that is available on the Internet and as a CD-ROM in the printed document.

ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS The U.S. economy completed its sixth consecutive year of economic expansion as 2007 drew to a close. 1 Although some uncertainty exists about the short-run outlook, the Administration’s economic forecast projects sustained growth in the years ahead. Since 2001, the U.S. economy has repeatedly demonstrated its resilience to shocks and setbacks while benefiting from progrowth policies, including tax relief and ongoing efforts to promote investment in innovative technologies and to liberalize international trade. Federal Reserve monetary policy actions have also played a constructive role in prolonging the expansion. The economy has successfully overcome a series of shocks, including large declines in the stock market and business equipment spending; the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 followed by the onset of the Global War on Terror; sharp increases in prices for crude oil; and substantial damage and disruptions during the 2005 hurricane season. In the last two years a new set of shocks has troubled the economy. A housing market slowdown began in 2006 and is continuing into 2008. In 2007, many high-risk mortgages went into default, causing losses at financial institutions. The heightened uncertainty resulting from these losses has threatened to curtail credit availability for many borrowers. Despite these unfavorable recent events, the U.S. economy continued to expand in 2007, with gains in productivity, incomes, and employment. More than 8 million net new payroll jobs have been added since August 2003. The Administration’s economic forecast projects that the current expansion will continue, providing a solid foundation of sustained non-inflationary real growth to underlie the Federal budget outlook. Nonetheless, facing mixed economic signals and the risk of slower economic growth, in January 2008 the President called for the enactment of an economic growth package to bolster business investment and consumer spending thus promoting growth and job creation. Recent Economic Performance At the end of 2007, as the 2009 Budget was being prepared, U.S. real gross domestic product (GDP) had been increasing for 24 consecutive quarters, at an average annual rate of 2.8 percent. Over the most recent four quarters, real GDP also grew 2.8 percent. Increases in employment and gains in the productive efficiency of the U.S. workforce have combined to generate this sustained growth in real output. • In labor markets, nonfarm payroll employment has increased by nearly 8.4 million net new jobs since the post-recession low in August 2003, with 1 Economic performance is discussed in terms of calendar years. Budget figures are in terms of fiscal years. about 1.3 million of those job gains occurring during the most recent twelve months (through December). • Reflecting the expanding job market, the unemployment rate was 5.0 percent at the end of 2007, which is up from its low point in March—4.4 percent—but noticeably lower than its average during each of the past three decades. • Labor productivity gains—the increase in output per hour of labor—were especially strong earlier in the expansion, providing a substantial boost to growth in real GDP. On average, output per hour in the nonfarm business sector has increased at a 2.5 percent rate during the current expansion (since the final quarter of 2001). 2 • These productivity gains have extended the strong productivity performance of the previous decade. Since the end of 1995, labor productivity in the nonfarm business sector has increased at a 2.6 percent average annual rate, more than a percentage point higher than the average growth rate from 1973 to 1995—1.5 percent. Strong growth in labor productivity is a fundamental building block for long-term economic performance and is the basis for rising real wages and an increasing standard of living for American workers and families. • Reflecting labor gains from stronger productivity growth, real hourly earnings of production workers have risen at an average annual rate of 0.5 percent over the past two years. • Real disposable personal income per capita is up 11.7 percent in the current expansion, compared with 8.6 percent during the equivalent period of the 1990s expansion. Other indicators also point to the sustained solid performance of the U.S. economy in recent years: • Through the third quarter, real consumer spending had increased at a 2.6 percent annual rate so far in 2007, following increases of 3.4 percent during 2006 and 2.8 percent during 2005. • Business investment in nonresidential structures continued to make strong real gains in 2007, rising at a 16 percent annual rate through the third quarter of the year, on track to being the strongest increase in more than two decades. • Real business investment in durable equipment and software increased at a healthy 3.7 percent annual rate through the third quarter of 2007, following increases of 2.5 percent during 2006 and 7.1 percent during 2005. 2 The nonfarm business sector accounts for about three-fourths of the value of GDP, with households, nonprofit institutions, and government accounting for the remainder. The nonfarm business sector serves as the reference standard for productivity. 169 170 • Real net exports continued to improve during 2007 as real exports grew 9.0 percent at an annual rate through the third quarter, while import growth slowed to just 1.8 percent. For the first time in over a decade, real net exports contributed positively to real GDP growth in 2006–2007. Although the overall performance of the U.S. economy has been good and the gains have translated into solid growth of income and wealth, the economy faces important challenges that have become more serious as 2008 begins: • The housing market and residential investment activity began to slow in 2006 and continued to fall throughout 2007, subtracting significantly from real GDP growth. Housing starts peaked at an annual rate of nearly 2.3 million units early in 2006, but have since fallen to about 1.0 million units—the lowest level in over a decade. During the first three quarters of 2007, real residential investment spending was on track to subtract about 0.9 percentage point from overall real GDP growth. It now appears that the effects of the housing slump on real GDP growth will persist into 2008, holding down growth and delaying the expected rebound in activity. • Financial uncertainty has increased as the effects of the housing slump spread to the subprime segment of the mortgage market, and then to financial markets more generally. The Federal Reserve has acted decisively to expand credit and to lower interest rates, and the Department of Treasury has also taken steps to restore confidence. These measures have helped maintain liquidity, but uncertainty remains high. Higher risk premiums on all but the most secure loans may exact a growth penalty in the near term that would be moderated by the President’s proposals to promote economic growth. • Energy prices—notably crude oil and gasoline prices—have increased sharply. The benchmark price for West Texas Intermediate crude oil increased from under $30 a barrel in September 2003 to near $100 a barrel in January 2008. Over the same period, the average retail price of gasoline nationwide rose from around $1.50 a gallon to over $3.00 a gallon. Higher energy prices slow growth, but the recent increase in prices has had a much smaller overall effect on growth than previous oil price shocks in the 1970s and 1980s. • Large imbalances in U.S. international accounts persisted into 2007 with the current account deficit at 5.1 percent of GDP in the third quarter. Even so, the international imbalances have begun to improve for the first time in several years. A year earlier the current account deficit was 6.6 percent of GDP. During 2007, the economy continued to grow in the face of these challenges. Growth appears to have slowed in the final quarter of 2007 as the combination of weak housing markets, financial uncertainty, and higher en- ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES ergy prices have combined to limit demand. There are positive factors, however, that could help offset these negative developments and provide a foundation for revived growth by the end of 2008, especially if augmented by passage of the President’s proposals to promote economic growth. • Inflation has increased along with the rise in food and energy prices, but core inflation, excluding the volatile food and energy components, subsided from around 2.6 percent in 2006 to 2.4 percent during 2007. With core inflation under control the prospects are good for a lower inflation rate in the long run when energy prices stabilize. • Faster economic growth abroad has helped U.S. exports, and contributed to the decline in the current account deficit. The improvement in net exports has been large enough to offset the decline in growth from housing investment over the last four quarters. • Employment growth slowed in 2007, but gains continued through the end of the year. The unemployment rate crept up from 4.5 percent to 5.0 percent, but unemployment remains well below its average level in earlier periods of slow growth. Policy Background The fiscal and monetary policies of the past seven years contributed to good economic performance. Looking back, timely tax relief and reductions in interest rates promoted the economy’s recovery from recession and helped the Nation overcome the adverse effects from the various shocks it has faced since 2001. Those policies augmented by short-term proposals to promote economic growth continue to provide a solid foundation for future economic performance. Fiscal Policy: Beginning in 2001, the Administration proposed, and the Congress enacted, significant tax relief designed to promote recovery in output, income, and jobs—and to provide a strong basis for continued economic expansion in the long term. Key tax relief legislation included: • The Economic Growth and Tax Relief and Reconciliation Act of 2001 lowered marginal income tax rates; reduced the marriage tax penalty; and created a new, lower 10 percent tax bracket, among other changes. • The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 lowered income tax rates, reduced the marriage penalty, raised the child tax credit, and raised the exemption amount for the individual Alternative Minimum Tax. The Act also reduced tax rates on dividend income and capital gains and expanded bonus depreciation and small business expensing of equipment purchases. Additional legislation of recent years extended tax relief, helping to ensure that key provisions would continue and not expire. The quick adoption of an effective growth package of broad-based tax relief would bolster consumption and investment and help keep instability 171 12. ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS and uncertainty from causing additional harm to the overall economy. Monetary Policy and Interest Rates: As 2008 begins, the Federal Reserve has oriented monetary policy toward sustaining non-inflationary real economic growth. Beginning in 2004, as the expansion strengthened, the Federal Reserve raised the Federal funds rate in a steady series of increases from 1 percent eventually reaching 5.25 percent in 2006. The Federal funds rate remained at 5.25 percent for over a year. In September 2007, the Federal Reserve announced a fifty basis point reduction in its target rate in response to the threats to liquidity unfolding in financial markets. This was a preemptive action intended to maintain the level of aggregate demand in the economy and sustain the recovery. At the time of this action, the Federal Reserve stated: Economic growth was moderate during the first half of the year, but the tightening of credit conditions has the potential to intensify the housing correction and to restrain economic growth more generally. Today’s action is intended to help forestall some of the adverse effects on the broader economy that might otherwise arise from the disruptions in financial markets and to promote moderate growth over time. Since then, the Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates further. The Administration’s forecast for interest rates, presented below, is consistent with market expectations for the interest rate outlook at the time the forecast was completed in mid-November. It anticipates that rates will gradually recover when the current financial situation stabilizes. Long-term interest rates, notably the yield on 10-year Treasury notes, have been low by historical standards for many years. The 10year rate has been less than 5.0 percent, except for brief intervals, for seven years. The forecast anticipates that the yield spread between short-term and long-term rates will eventually widen. Trade and Regulatory Policies and Competitiveness Initiatives: The Administration has sought to advance a comprehensive set of policies to promote the short- and long-term performance of the U.S. economy, including trade and regulatory policies and initiatives aimed at boosting competitiveness in domestic and international markets. Expanding opportunities in international trade and investment has been one of the Administration’s top priorities. Efforts to negotiate and implement bilateral, regional, and multilateral agreements to promote international trade and investment with countries around the world are intended to create and expand markets for U.S. exports and strengthen the U.S. economy while also creating new economic opportunities for our trading partners. These policies will also help to alleviate poverty in the developing world and promote democratic reform. The Administration’s American Competitiveness Initiative is targeted at advancing U.S. competitiveness through promoting technological innovation, opening new markets, increasing research in the physical sciences and engineering, and protecting intellectual property. Efforts also continue to streamline and simplify Federal regulations that can hinder economic growth and job creation. Economic Projections The Administration’s economic projections are summarized in Table 12–1. The assumptions are based on information available as of mid-November 2007 and are close to those of the Congressional Budget Office and the consensus of private-sector forecasters, as shown in Table 12–2 and discussed in more detail below. Real GDP, Potential GDP, and Unemployment Rate: Real GDP, which is estimated to have increased 2.7 percent during 2007 on a fourth quarter-over-fourth quarter basis, is also projected to increase 2.7 percent this year. This is somewhat below the economy’s potential growth rate and reflects the growth penalty exacted by the housing slowdown and the energy price runup. As a result, the unemployment rate is projected to average 4.9 percent in 2008, up from 4.6 percent in 2007. In 2009, the rate of growth is projected to recover to 3.0 percent, and the unemployment rate to settle in on its long-run level of 4.8 percent, which is near the center of the range thought to be consistent with stable inflation. Beyond 2009, growth slows gradually as slower labor force growth lowers the economy’s potential growth rate. The main sources of growth in demand in coming years are likely to be net exports, business investment, and, to a lesser extent, consumer spending. The contributions to overall growth from residential investment and the government sector are expected to be modest, although beyond 2008, housing should cease to be a negative influence on growth. Potential growth of real GDP (including the government sector) is projected to be about 3.0 percent over the next two years, trending down to 2.8 percent by 2013, because of an expected slowing in labor force growth. The labor force is projected to grow about 0.9 percent per year on average from 2006 through 2009, slowing to about 0.6 percent per year on average during 2009–2013 as increasing numbers of baby boomers retire. Trend productivity growth in the nonfarm business sector is assumed to be 2.5 percent per year. This is equal to the average pace of productivity growth so far in the current expansion, which began in the final quarter of 2001, and equal to the average pace of growth from 1995 through 2000. It is also not far from the average growth rate throughout the post-World War II period since the end of 1948—2.2 percent. Inflation: Inflation was volatile in 2007, in large part because of fluctuations in energy prices. With the projected easing of these prices, inflation is likely to be lower. On a year-over-year basis, the CPI is projected to have increased 2.8 percent in 2007 and to increase by 2.7 percent this year but to settle down at a 2.3 percent rate in 2010 through 2013. This infla- 172 ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES Table 12–1.

The GDP price index is projected to have increased 2.6 percent in 2007, and to moderate to 2.0 percent by 2009, slightly less than the projected rate of CPI inflation, which is the usual pattern. The low inflation projection reflects the low core rate of inflation in 2007, well-contained inflation expectations, and the maintenance of low inflation in the long run consistent with Federal Reserve monetary policy objectives. Interest Rates: Interest rates declined sharply in the second half of 2007. Short-term rates are projected to remain below 4 percent for the next two years and then to rise to 4.1 percent in 2011. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has also fallen as investors have sought the security of Treasury debt during the recent period of heightened financial uncertainty. In the projection period, long-term rates rise again as financial concerns are alleviated and a more normal historical relationship is restored. The 10-year rate is projected to increase to 5.3 percent by 2012. These forecast rates are historically low, reflecting lower inflation in the forecast. After adjusting for inflation, the projected real interest rates are close to their historical averages. Income Shares: The share of labor compensation in GDP was low by historical standards in 2007 and is expected to increase, while the share of corporate profits is projected to decline from the unusually high levels it has reached. So far in the current expansion, the growth of hourly compensation adjusted for inflation has lagged the growth of productivity. During the projection period, however, real hourly labor compensation is expected to exceed productivity growth, which would raise the labor share in GDP back closer to its historical average, while constraining profits. While the overall share of labor compensation is expected to increase by about 1 percentage point of GDP, the wage share is expected to rise proportionately less 173 12. ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS than the share of supplements to wages and salaries. Rising health insurance costs will put upward pressure on the share of supplements while holding down the expected rise in the cash wage share. Corporate profits before tax have risen sharply as a share of GDP since their recent low point in 2001. Profits have benefited from lower interest rates and moderate wage growth. The sharp increase in productivity growth in 2001–2003 also gave a boost to profits. More recently, corporate earnings overseas have helped raise the profits of American corporations. Some of these factors are not likely to continue at the same pace in future years, and profits relative to GDP are expected to moderate over the forecast period, ending much closer to their historical average in 2013. Comparison with CBO and Private-Sector Forecasts In addition to the Administration, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and many private-sector forecasters also make economic projections. CBO develops its projections to aid Congress in formulating budget policy. In the executive branch, this function is performed jointly by the ‘‘Troika’’ consisting of the DepartTable 12–2. ment of Treasury, the Council of Economic Advisers, and the Office of Management and Budget. Privatesector forecasts are often used by businesses for current decision-making and in long-term planning, and the ‘‘consensus’’ or average serves as a useful benchmark for comparison. Table 12–2 compares the 2009 Budget assumptions with projections as of January 2008 by CBO and by the Blue Chip Consensus, an average of about 50 private-sector forecasts. The three sets of economic assumptions are based on different underlying assumptions concerning economic policies. The Administration forecast generally assumes that the President’s Budget proposals will be enacted. In contrast, the CBO baseline projection assumes that current law as of the time the estimates are made remains unchanged. The 50 or so private forecasters in the Blue Chip Consensus make differing policy assumptions. Despite these differences, the three sets of economic projections, shown in Table 12–2, are fairly close. The similarity of the Budget’s economic projections to both the CBO baseline projections and the Consensus forecast underscores the conservative nature of the Administration forecast.

The Administration, CBO, and the Blue Chip Consensus all anticipate slow to moderate growth this year, but the Administration projects 2.7 percent growth on a year-over-year basis, while the Consensus projects 2.2 percent growth, and CBO forecasts a 1.7 percent growth rate. For calendar year 2009, the forecasts are closer. The Administration forecasts 3.0 percent real growth, while the Consensus forecast is for 2.7 percent and CBO expects 2.8 percent. In 2010–2011, the Administration expects growth to average 3.0 percent, while the Consensus projects an average of 2.9 percent. For this period, CBO is the outlier, expecting a relatively sharp bounce-back that pushes up the growth rate to an average of 3.5 percent. In the final two years of the forecast period, the Administration expects growth to slow with the decline in the potential growth rate as the baby-boom cohort begins to retire in large numbers. CBO also expects the growth rate to decline for this reason (and because they assume a negative effect from the current-law expiration of the 2001–2003 tax cuts), but so far the Consensus has not incorporated the likely demographic slowdown in its long-range projections. Over the six-year span as a whole, the Administration, CBO, and the Consensus all project average annual growth rates in a narrow range of 2.7 to 2.9 percent, with the Administration forecast being the highest. The three inflation forecasts are much closer. All three forecasts anticipate a slowdown in inflation in 2008–2009 followed by continued low inflation in the range of 1.8 to 2.1 percent as measured by the GDP price index and between 2.2 and 2.3 percent as measured by the CPI. CBO has a lower forecast than the Administration and the Consensus. The three unemployment rate projections are also similar with projected rates converging on 4.8 percent following somewhat higher unemployment over the next 2 to 3 years. All three forecasts recognize the sharp decline in Treasury interest rates at the end of 2007. All three forecasts anticipate that long-term rates will rise between 2008 and 2009 and converge on a higher level in 2011 and beyond. That long-term stable value is 5.2 percent for CBO and the Consensus and 5.3 percent for the Administration. There are more differences in the forecasts of short-term interest rates. The Administration expects lower short-term rates to persist for some time before rising to 4.1 percent. CBO and the Consensus expect short-term rates to rise to 4.7 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively, within three years. This would elevate real short-term interest rates above their historical average and in combination with the long-term interest rate forecasts would generate a tightly compressed yield curve. The Administration forecast anticipates a gradual restoration of a more normal yield curve spread. Changes in Economic Assumptions The economic assumptions underlying this Budget for 2009 are similar to those of the 2008 Budget, as shown in Table 12–3. Real GDP growth is now expected to be 2.2 percent in 2007, 2.7 percent in 2008, and 3.0 percent in 2009 on a year-over-year basis, moderating gradually to 2.8 percent by 2012 and 2013. In comparison, last year’s Budget projections implied 2.6 percent real growth for 2007, 3.0 percent growth in 2008, 3.1 percent in 2009, and moderating to 2.9 percent by 2012. The lower real growth forecast in this year’s budget combined with a slightly lower inflation forecast lowers the projected level of nominal GDP compared with the 2008 Budget projection. The long-run unemployment rate projection is unchanged from the 2008 Budget at 4.8 percent. The 3month Treasury bill rate is expected to remain well below last year’s forecast for most of the projection period but to end at the same place, 4.1 percent. The 10-year Treasury note rate is again projected to rise to 5.3 percent. Structural and Cyclical Balances An alternative budget measure called the structural balance provides a useful perspective on the stance of fiscal policy compared with the unadjusted budget balance. The unadjusted balance is affected by the cyclical performance of the economy. When the economy operates below potential, the unemployment rate exceeds the long-run sustainable average consistent with price stability. As a result, receipts are lower and outlays for unemployment-sensitive programs (such as unemployment compensation and food stamps) are higher than they would be if all the resources were employed at their normal levels; and the deficit is larger (or the surplus smaller) than if the unemployment rate were at its sustainable long-run average. The portion of the deficit (or surplus) that can be traced to this factor is called the cyclical component. The remaining portion of the deficit is then called the structural deficit (or structural surplus). It represents the deficit that would prevail if all resources were employed at their normal long-run levels. The structural balance provides a gauge of the surplus or deficit that would persist if the economy were operating at the sustainable level of unemployment. Estimates of the structural balance are based on the historical relationship between changes in the unemployment rate and real GDP growth, known as ‘‘Okun’s Law,’’ as well as relationships of unemployment and real GDP growth with receipts and outlays. These estimated relationships take account of the major cyclical changes in the economy and their effects on the budget, but they do not reflect all possible cyclical relationships. For example, the sharply rising stock market during the second half of the 1990s boosted capital gains-related receipts and pulled down the deficit. The subsequent fall in the stock market reduced receipts and added to the deficit. Some of this rise and fall was cyclical in nature, but economists have not been able to pin down the cyclical component of the stock market exactly, and for that reason, all of the stock market’s 175 12.

No two business cycles are alike and some factors unique to the current economic cycle also appear to affect the deficit in ways not reflected in the usual cyclical adjustments. The fall-off in labor force participation, from 67.1 percent of the U.S. population in 1997–2000 to 66.1 percent in 2004–2007, may be at least partly cyclical in nature. Since the official unemployment rate does not include workers who have left the labor force, the conventional measures of potential GDP, incomes, and Government receipts understate the extent to which potential work hours have been underutilized in the current expansion because of the decline in labor force participation. Another factor in the current cycle is the fall-off in the wage and salary share of GDP, from 49.2 percent in 2000 to 46.0 percent in 2007 (through the third Table 12–4. quarter). This change may also be at least partly cyclical. Since Federal tax collections depend heavily on wage and salary income, the decline in the wage share of GDP suggests that the true cyclical component of the deficit could be understated for this reason as well. There are also lags in the collection of tax revenue that can delay the impact of cyclical effects beyond the year in which they occur. The result is that even after the unemployment rate has fallen, receipts may remain cyclically depressed for some time until these lagged effects have dissipated. For all these reasons, the current estimates of the level of the cyclical deficit are probably understated. The current unemployment gap is near zero, and the Administration forecasts that it will rise only slightly and temporarily, but in the broader sense discussed above, the cyclical gap is likely to be larger.

Therefore, as shown in Table 12–4, in that year the structural surplus was smaller than the actual surplus, which was enlarged by the boost to receipts and the reduction in outlays associated with the low level of unemployment. Similarly, in 2006 and 2007 the unemployment rate appeared to be slightly lower than the ‘‘natural rate,’’ rendering the structural deficit for those years slightly higher than the actual deficit. For 2008–2009, the unemployment rate is slightly higher than the ‘‘natural rate,’’ and the structural deficit falls slightly below the actual deficit. Sensitivity of the Budget to Economic Assumptions Both receipts and outlays are affected by changes in economic conditions. This sensitivity complicates budget planning because errors in economic assumptions lead to errors in the budget projections. It is therefore useful to examine the implications of possible changes in economic assumptions. Many of the budgetary effects of such changes are fairly predictable, and a set of rules of thumb embodying these relationships can aid in estimating how changes in the economic assumptions would alter outlays, receipts, and the surplus or deficit. These rules of thumb should be understood as suggesting orders of magnitude; they ignore a long list of secondary effects that are not captured in the estimates. Economic variables that affect the budget do not usually change independently of one another. Output and employment tend to move together in the short run: a high rate of real GDP growth is generally associated with a declining rate of unemployment, while slow or negative growth is usually accompanied by rising unemployment. In the long run, however, changes in the average rate of growth of real GDP are mainly due to changes in the rates of growth of productivity and the labor force, and are not necessarily associated with changes in the average rate of unemployment. Inflation and interest rates are also closely interrelated: a higher expected rate of inflation increases interest rates, while lower expected inflation reduces interest rates. Changes in real GDP growth or inflation have a much greater cumulative effect on the budget over time if they are sustained for several years than if they last for only one year. Highlights of the budgetary effects of the above rules of thumb are shown in Table 12–5. For real growth and employment: • As shown in the first block, if in 2008 for one year only, real GDP growth is lower by one percentage point and the unemployment rate permanently rises by one-half percentage point relative to the Budget assumptions, the fiscal year 2008 deficit is estimated to increase by $16.4 billion; receipts in 2008 would be lower by $13.8 billion, and outlays would be higher by $2.6 billion, primarily for unemployment-sensitive programs. In fiscal year 2009, the estimated receipts shortfall would grow further to $28.9 billion, and outlays would increase by $8.2 billion relative to the base, even though the growth rate in calendar year 2009 equaled the rate originally assumed. This is because the level of real (and nominal) GDP and taxable incomes would be permanently lower, and unemployment permanently higher. The budget effects (including growing interest costs associated with larger deficits) would continue to grow slightly in each successive year. During 2008–2013, the cumulative increase in the budget deficit is estimated to be $251 billion. • The budgetary effects are much larger if the real growth rate is permanently reduced by one percentage point and the unemployment rate is unchanged, as shown in the second block. This scenario might occur if trend productivity were permanently lowered. In this example, during 2008–2013, the cumulative increase in the budget deficit is estimated to be $706 billion. For inflation and interest rates: • The third block shows the effect of a one percentage point higher rate of inflation and one percentage point higher interest rates during calendar year 2008 only. In subsequent years, the price level and nominal GDP would be one percent higher than in the base case, but interest rates and future inflation rates are assumed to return to their base levels. In 2008 and 2009, outlays would be above the base by $12.5 billion and $20.7 billion, respectively, due in part to lagged cost-ofliving adjustments. Receipts would rise by $21.2 billion in 2008, but then would rise by $40.9 billion above the base in 2009 due to the sustained effects of the elevated price level on the tax base, and to the temporary effect of higher 2008 interest rates on individuals’ incomes and taxes and financial corporations’ profits and taxes, resulting in a $20.2 billion improvement in the 2009 budget balance. In subsequent years, the amounts added to receipts would continue to be larger than the additions to outlays. During 2008–2013, cumulative budget deficits would be $114 billion smaller than in the base case. • In the fourth block, the rate of inflation and the level of interest rates are higher by one percentage point in all years. As a result, the price level and nominal GDP rise by a cumulatively growing percentage above their base levels. In this case, the effects on receipts and outlays mount steadily in successive years, adding $390 billion to outlays over 2008–2013 and $793 billion to receipts, for a net decrease in 2008–2013 deficits of $402 billion. • The outlay effects of a one percentage point increase in interest rates alone are shown in the fifth block. The receipts portion of this rule-ofthumb is due to the Federal Reserve’s deposit of earnings on its securities portfolio and the effect of interest rate changes on both individuals’ in- 177 12. ECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS come (and taxes) and financial corporations’ profits (and taxes). • The sixth block shows that a sustained one percentage point increase in the GDP price index and in CPI inflation decreases cumulative deficits by a substantial $444 billion during 2008–2013. This large effect is because the additional receipts from a higher tax base exceed the combination of higher outlays from mandatory cost-of-living adjustments and lower receipts from CPI indexation of tax brackets. Outlays for discretionary programs are assumed to be unchanged in spite of the higher inflation rate. The separate effects of higher inflation and higher interest rates in the fifth and sixth blocks do not sum to the effects for simultaneous changes in both in the fourth block. This Table 12–5. occurs largely because the gains in budget receipts due to higher inflation result in higher debt service savings when interest rates are assumed to be higher as well (the combined case) than when interest rates are assumed to be unchanged (the separate case). The last entry in the table shows rules of thumb for the added interest cost associated with changes in the budget deficit, holding interest rates and other economic assumptions constant. The effects of changes in economic assumptions in the opposite direction are approximately symmetric to those shown in the table. The impact of a one percentage point lower rate of inflation or higher real growth would have about the same magnitude as the effects shown in the table, but with the opposite sign.

STEWARDSHIP Introduction The budget is an essential tool for allocating resources within the Federal Government and between the public and private sectors, but current outlays, receipts, and the deficit give at best a partial picture of the Government’s financial condition. Indeed, changes in the annual budget deficit or surplus can be misleading. For example, the temporary shift from annual deficits to surpluses in the late 1990s did nothing to correct the long-term fiscal deficiencies in the major entitlement programs, which are the major source of the long-run shortfall in Federal finances. This would have been more apparent at the time if greater attention had been focused on long-term measures such as those presented in this chapter. As important as the current budget surplus or deficit is, other indicators are also needed to judge the Government’s fiscal condition. For the Federal Government, there is no single number that corresponds to a business’s bottom line. The Government is judged by how its actions affect the country’s security and well-being over time, and that cannot easily be summed up with a single statistic. Also, even though its financial condition is important, the Government is not expected to earn a profit. One measure of the Government’s performance is the extent to which it collects the taxes that are owed to it, and another is whether it delivers value in spending the taxes that it collects. Both of those questions are addressed below. In general, the Government’s financial status is best evaluated using a broad range of data and several complementary perspectives. This chapter presents a framework for such analysis. Because there are serious limitations on the available data and the future is uncertain, this chapter’s findings and conclusions should be interpreted as tentative and subject to future revision. The chapter consists of four parts: • Part I explains how the separate pieces of analysis link together. Chart 13–1 is a schematic diagram showing the linkages. • Part II presents estimates of the Government’s assets and liabilities, which are shown in Table 13–1. This table is similar to a business balance sheet, but for that reason it cannot reveal some of the Government’s unique financial features and needs to be supplemented by the information in Parts III and IV. • Part III shows possible long-run paths for the Federal budget. These projections vary depending on alternative economic and demographic assumptions. The projections are summarized in Table 13–2 and in a related set of charts. Table 13–3 shows present value estimates of the funding shortfall in Social Security and Medicare. Together, these data indicate the scope of the Government’s future responsibilities and the resources it will have available to discharge them under current law and policy. In particular, they show the looming long-run fiscal challenge posed by the Federal entitlement programs. • Part IV returns the focus to the present. This part presents information on national economic and social conditions. It begins with an analysis of tax compliance, including what can be done to improve it, and what resources might be made available with new efforts to assure compliance. The private economy is the ultimate source of the Government’s resources. Table 13–5 gives a summary of total national wealth, while highlighting the Federal investments that have contributed to that wealth. Table 13–6 shows trends in wealth and Table 13–7 presents a small sample of statistical indicators, which are intended to show how the Government’s efforts to improve social and economic outcomes might be measured. PART I—A FRAMEWORK TO EVALUATE FEDERAL FINANCES No single framework can encompass all of the factors that affect the financial condition of the Federal Government, but the framework presented here is comprehensive and offers many insights into the financial implications of Federal policies. This framework includes information about Government assets and liabilities, but it also includes long-run projections of the entire budget showing where future fiscal strains are most likely to appear. It includes an analysis of the Government’s potential revenue for a given tax structure and what can be done realistically through better education and more rigorous enforcement of the tax law to reach that potential. Measures of national wealth, which support future income and tax receipts, are presented along with an array of economic and social indicators showing potential pressure points that may require future policy responses. The Government’s binding obligations—its liabilities—consist in the first place of Treasury debt. Other liabilities include the pensions and medical benefits owed to retired Federal employees and veterans. These employee obligations are a form of deferred compensation; they have counterparts in the business world, and would appear as liabilities on a business balance sheet. 179 180 Accrued obligations for Government insurance policies and the estimated present value of failed loan guarantees and deposit insurance claims are also analogous to private liabilities. These Government liabilities are discussed further in Part II along with the Government’s assets. The liabilities and assets are collected in Table 13–1. The liabilities shown in Table 13–1 are only a subset of the Government’s overall financial responsibilities. Indeed, the full extent of the Government’s fiscal exposure through programmatic commitments dwarfs the outstanding total of all acknowledged Federal liabilities. The commitments to Social Security and Medicare alone amount to many times the value of Federal debt held by the public. In addition to Social Security and Medicare, the Government has a broad range of programs that dispense cash and other benefits to individual recipients. A few examples of such programs are Medicaid, food stamps, veterans’ pensions, and veterans’ health care. The Government also provides a wide range of public services that must be financed through the tax system. It is true that specific programs may be modified or even ended at any time by the Congress and the President, and changes in the laws governing these programs are a regular part of the legislative cycle. For this reason, these programmatic commitments do not constitute ‘‘liabilities.’’ They are Federal responsibilities, however, and will have a claim on budgetary resources for the foreseeable future unless the law is changed. All of the Government’s existing programs are reflected in the long-run budget projections in Part III. It would be misleading to leave out any of these programmatic commitments in projecting future claims on the Government or in calculating the Government’s long-run fiscal balance. The Federal Government has many assets. These include financial assets, such as loans and mortgages which have been acquired through various credit programs. They also include the plant and equipment used to produce Government services. The Government also owns a substantial amount of land. Such assets would normally be shown on a balance sheet. The Government has other resources in addition to these. These additional resources include most importantly the Government’s sovereign power to tax. Because of its unique responsibilities and resources, the most revealing way to analyze the future strains on the Government’s fiscal position is to make a longrun projection of the entire Federal budget. Part III of this chapter presents a set of such projections under different assumptions about policy and future economic and demographic conditions. Over long periods of time, the spending of the Government must be financed by the taxes and other receipts it collects. Although the Government can borrow for temporary periods, it must pay interest on any such borrowing, which adds to future spending. In the long run, a solvent Government must pay for its programmatic spending out of its receipts. The projections in Part III show that under an extension of the estimates in this Budget, long-run bal- ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVES ance in this sense is not achieved, mostly because projected spending for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid grows faster than the revenue available to pay for it. The long-run budget projections and the table of assets and liabilities are silent on the questions of whether the Government is collecting the full amount of taxes owed, whether the public is receiving value for its taxes paid, and whether Federal resources are being used effectively. Information on those points requires performance measures for Government programs supplemented by appropriate information about conditions in the economy and society. Recent changes in budgeting practices have contributed to the goal of providing more information about Government programs and will permit a closer alignment of the cost of programs with performance measures. These changes have been described in detail in previous Budgets. They are reviewed in Chapter 2 of this volume, and in the accompanying material that describes results obtained with the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART). This Stewardship chapter complements the detailed exploration of Government performance with an assessment of the overall impact of Federal policy as reflected in general measures of economic and social well-being such as those shown in Table 13–7. Relationship with FASAB Objectives The framework presented here meets the stewardship objective for Federal financial reporting recommended by the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) and adopted for use by the Federal Government in September 1993.1 Federal financial reporting should assist report users in assessing the impact on the country of the government’s operations and investments for the period and how, as a result, the government’s and the Nation’s financial conditions have changed and may change in the future. Federal financial reporting should provide information that helps the reader to determine: 3a. Whether the government’s financial position improved or deteriorated over the period. 3b. Whether future budgetary resources will likely be sufficient to sustain public services and to meet obligations as they come due. 3c. Whether government operations have contributed to the nation’s current and future well-being. The current presentation is an experimental approach for fulfilling this objective at the Federal Governmentwide level. It is intended to meet the broad interests of economists and others in evaluating trends over time, including both past and future trends. The annual Financial Report of the United States Government presents related information, but from a different perspective. The Financial Report includes a balance sheet. The assets and liabilities on that balance sheet are all based on transactions and other events that have already occurred. In some cases, the assets and liabilities are evaluated differently than those reported in Part II of this chapter. The Financial Report also in1 Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Concepts, Number 1, Objectives of Federal Financial Reporting, September 2, 1993. Other objectives are budgetary integrity, operating performance, and systems and controls. 181 13. STEWARDSHIP cludes a statement of social insurance that reviews a substantial body of information on the condition and sustainability of the Government’s social insurance programs. This year, the Report included for the first time a brief discussion of the long-run budget outlook for the Government as a whole, which is similar to the long-run projections discussed in this chapter. This is a
