The Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 established the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund). The CDFI
Fund provides equity investments, grants, loans, and technical assistance to new and existing community development
financing institutions such as community development banks,
community development credit unions, community development loan funds, community development venture capital
funds, and micro-loan funds. Funds provided by the CDFI
Fund will enhance the capacity of these institutions to finance
economic development, housing, and community development
in distressed urban and rural communities. The CDFI Fund
also provides grants to insured depository institutions to facilitate investment in community development financial institutions and increase community lending activities.
The CDFI Fund helps to address the urgent problems of
declining economic and social infrastructure, loss of jobs, lack
of private enterprise, and deteriorating housing facing many
American communities today. Government investment and
technical assistance supplements private funds and expertise
to ensure that community development financial institutions
are effective in restoring healthy economic development to
these communities.

Matching funds in primaries.—Upon certification by the
Federal Election Commission, every candidate eligible to receive payments is entitled to an amount equal to the contributions each has received on or after the beginning of the calendar year immediately preceding the election year.
Nominating conventions of parties.—Upon certification by
the Commission, payments may be made to the national committee of a major party or a minor party which elects to
receive its entitlement. The total of such payments will be
limited to the amount in the account at the time of payment.
The national committee of each party may receive payments
beginning on July 1 of the year immediately preceding the
calendar year in which a presidential nominating convention
of the political party is held. The two major parties will receive $4 million each, plus a cost-of-living increase.
Candidates for general elections.—The eligible candidates
of each major party in a presidential election will be entitled
to equal payments in an amount which, in the aggregate,
shall not exceed $20 million each, plus a cost-of-living increase.
Also, provision is made for new parties, minor parties and
candidates, who may receive in excess of 5 percent of the
popular vote and therefore be entitled to reimbursement of
qualified campaign expenditures.

The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to deal in gold
and foreign exchange and other instruments of credit and
securities as deemed necessary, consistent with U.S. obligations in the International Monetary Fund (IMF), regarding
orderly exchange arrangements. An Exchange Stabilization
Fund, with a capital of $200 million, is authorized by law
for this purpose (31 U.S.C. 5302). All earnings and interest
accruing to this fund are available for the purposes thereof.
Transactions in special drawing rights (SDR’s) and U.S. holdings of SDR’s are administered by the fund. U.S. drawings
from the IMF are also advanced to the fund.
The principal sources of the fund’s income have been profits
on foreign exchange transactions, interest on foreign exchange
swap transactions, and on investments held by the fund, including interest earned on fund holdings of U.S. Government
securities.
The amounts reflected in the 1997 and 1998 estimates entail only projected net interest earnings on Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) assets. The estimates are subject to
considerable variance, as the amount and composition of assets can change dramatically, as well as interest rates applied
to investments. In addition, exchange rate fluctuations can
cause the dollar value of income received on foreign currency
and SDR investments to fluctuate. Moreover, estimates make
no attempt to forecast valuation gains or losses on SDR hold-

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center provides
the necessary facilities, equipment, and support services for
conducting recruit, advanced, specialized, and refresher training for Federal law enforcement personnel. Center personnel
conduct the instructional programs for the basic recruit and
some of the advanced training. This appropriation is for operating expenses of the Center, for research in law enforcement
training methods, and curriculum content. In addition, the
Center has a reimbursable program to accommodate the
training requirements of various Federal agencies. As funds
are available, law enforcement training is provided to certain
State, local, and foreign law enforcement personnel on a
space-available basis.

This account provides for the acquisition, construction, improvements, equipment, furnishings and related costs for expansion and maintenance of facilities of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.
This includes funding for the Facilities Master Plan, Minor
Construction and Maintenance, Firearms Environmental Restoration and Reconstruction, Environmental Compliance, and
installation of Fiber Optics. The Master Plan provides the
long range blueprint for expansion of facilities to meet the
training requirements of the over 70 participating agencies.
Minor construction and maintenance provides alterations and
maintenance funding for approximately 300 buildings at two
locations (Glynco, Georgia and Artesia, New Mexico). The
Firearms Environmental Restoration and Reconstruction
funds the clean-up of the existing outdoor ranges and reconstruction. The Environmental Compliance funds are to ensure
compliance with EPA and State environmental laws and regulations. The fiber optics funding is to replace the existing
antiquated twisted copper wire with a state-of-the-art telecommunications cable system.
The $11 million sought in this account, along with the
$21 million funding sought from the Violent Crime Reduction
Trust Fund, demonstrates the President’s commitment to an
important step in completing and maintaining the necessary
facilities at FLETC to train our Nation’s law enforcement
personnel.

The Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force
(ICDE) Program consists of 9 regional task forces which consolidate the resources and expertise of 11 member Federal
agencies, in cooperation with State and local investigators
and prosecutors, to target and destroy major narcotic trafficking and money laundering organizations. The portion of the
ICDE funds previously appropriated to the Department of
Justice for Treasury law enforcement bureaus participating
in the program are now being sought as part of the Department of the Treasury’s budget. Treasury plans to continue
its participation in ICDE as it has in the past; however,
the program will be administered by Treasury’s Departmental
Offices. Treasury participates in the task force activities
through direct investigative and support activities of task
forces, focusing on the disruption of drug trafficking controlled
by various organized crime enterprises.

Financial Operations.—Payments are made through six regional offices for Federal civilian agencies, except the U.S.
Postal Service, the U.S. Marshals Service, and certain Government corporations. These disbursing services are provided
through the timely issuance of checks, and electronic funds
transfer (EFT) payments. This activity is responsible for processing EFT claims, for promoting the use of electronics in
the payment process, and for providing full field representation for other functional areas of the Service. This activity
is also responsible for the control and financial integrity of
the Federal payments and collections processes including conducting reconciliation, accounting, and claims activities. It adjudicates and settles claims against the United States resulting from instances in which Government checks have been
forged, lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, and collects moneys from those parties having liability to the United States
through fraudulent or otherwise improper negotiation of Government checks. Financial Operations ensures the integrity
of the Government’s financial accounting, reporting, and financing services and financial accounting and reporting systems to the Federal Government and its agents, who participate in the payments and collections processes. Additionally,
this activity provides financial services for the D.C. Government loan account and provides for payment of domestic and
international claims. It also provides debt collection operational services to client agencies through a network linking
its own debt collection expertise and capabilities with those
of FMS’s Regional Financial Centers, Federal program agencies’ Debt Collection Centers, private sector collection agencies, and the Department of Justice. These services provide
the Federal Government with consolidated management of
delinquent debt in order to improve the collection of such
debt. Available services include collection of delinquent accounts, post-judgment enforcement, consolidation of information reported to credit bureaus, reporting for discharged debts
or vendor payments, Federal Employee Salary Offset Hearings, mortgage servicing, collection of unclaimed financial assets, and disposition of foreclosed property.
Federal Finance.—This activity provides direction, leadership, and technical guidance for managing the Federal Government’s cash and credit management programs. It is responsible for the development, implementation, and dissemination of tools, regulations, standards, and guidelines affecting all aspects of the Government’s cash and credit management programs. The major focus is on (1) development and
evaluation of cash, credit and asset management techniques,
and (2) credit management training, to minimize the cost
and maximize the effectiveness of the Federal Government’s
financial management. In addition, this activity oversees compensation made to commercial depositories for the processing
services they provide to the Government in collecting and
accounting of Federal Tax Deposits.
Agency Support.—This activity provides leadership and
guidance for administrative and financial activities that enable the Service to manage programs and resources effectively. It is responsible for all internal FMS accounting, auditing, program review, budget and financial operations, financial systems, and facilities and personnel functions. This activity also encompasses the Service’s legal, planning, and legislative and public affairs needs. Top management and the
Service’s Chief Financial Officer are also included under this
activity. In addition, this activity is responsible for overseeing
the development, implementation, and operation of information and financial management systems. It is responsible for
automated data processing (ADP) operations and the associated computer support necessary to maintain the Service’s
internal and Government-wide systems. Specific functions include operating and maintaining all central facility computer
systems and data communications mechanisms, scheduling
and processing development and production workloads, in-

stalling and tuning operating system software, planning and
coordinating hardware installations, providing user support
services, and acquiring ADP and telecommunications equipment, software, services and supplies. This activity also supports a large number of developmental efforts to enhance
the collections, payments, accounting, reporting, and resource
management functions of the Service.
Business Lines.—As part of a continuing effort to enhance
performance measures and the budget structure and to more
effectively link programmatic activities to performance indicators, the four major business lines that follow provide a direct
link between the above budget activities and FMS’s performance measures.
1. Payments.—FMS implements payment policy and procedures for the Federal Government, issues and distributes payments, promotes the use of electronics in the payment process,
and assists agencies in converting payments from paper
checks to electronic funds transfer (EFT).

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 authorized and appropriated to the Secretary of the Treasury, such sums as may be necessary to
cover interest payments on obligations issued by the Resolution Funding Corporation (REFCORP). REFCORP was established under the Act to raise $31.2 billion for the Resolution
Trust Corporation (RTC) in order to resolve savings institution insolvencies.
Sources of payment for interest due on REFCORP obligations include REFCORP investment income, proceeds from
the sale of assets or warrants acquired by the RTC, and
annual contributions by the Federal Home Loan Banks. If
these payment sources are insufficient to cover all interest
costs, funds appropriated to the Treasury shall be used to
meet the shortfall.

Loan guarantee financing accounts receive various payments and fees and make payments on defaults. When cash
balances result from an excess of receipts over outlays, these
balances are deposited at the Treasury and earn interest.
This account pays such interest to credit loan guarantee financing accounts from the general fund of the Treasury in
accordance with section 505(c) of the Federal Credit Reform
Act of 1990. The estimates of interest paid by this fund are
derived from the estimates of interest received in the various
financing accounts.

The Energy Security Reserve was created principally to
finance the activities of the U.S. Synthetic Fuels Corporation.
Public Law 99–190 rescinded the balance of unobligated funds
available to the Corporation. The Act left $10 million in the
Reserve for the Corporation’s liquidation and $400 million
for a Clean Coal Technology Demonstration program, which
has been transferred to a new account in the Department
of Energy. The Act also transferred responsibility for ongoing
projects of the Corporation to the Secretary of the Treasury;
these projects’ activities and financing will continue to be
displayed in this account.

This fund was established as a permanent, indefinite appropriation in order to maintain adequate funding of the Check
Forgery Insurance Fund (Fund). The Fund will facilitate timely payments for replacement Treasury checks necessitated due
to a claim of forgery. The Fund will recoup disbursements
through reclamations made against banks negotiating forged
checks.
To reduce hardships sustained by payees of Government
checks that have been stolen and forged, settlement is made
in advance of the receipt of funds from the endorsers of the
checks through reclamation procedures by this office. If the
U.S. Treasury is unable to recover funds, the account sustains
the loss.
Object Classification (in millions of dollars)

This account finances programs to aid commercial production of alcohol and other fuels from crops and crop waste,
timber, animal and timber waste, and other forms of biomass
and urban waste activities, as authorized under Title II of
the Energy Security Act.
Administrative provisions enacted in 1989 for the Department of Energy allow the Department of Energy to retain
in this account any funds brought into its Alcohol Fuels Loan
Guarantee Program, either through (1) sale of assets the Government has acquired through loan default and foreclosure,
or (2) repayments made on a loan for which the Department
of Energy has become the direct lender by paying the guarantee on a defaulted loan. These retained funds will be held
in a reserve against the possibility of further guaranteed loan
defaults. The Department of Energy will also be able to use
unobligated funds from its Alternative Fuels Production account to pay the guaranteed portion of defaults if the need
arises, and if those funds are not needed by the Alternative
Fuels Production program. In 1993, $44 million was transferred to the Energy Information Administration (EIA) to offset approximately half of EIA’s budget authority requirements.

The Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 (Public Law 100–233)
authorized such sums as necessary to be appropriated to the
Secretary of the Treasury for payment to the Farm Credit
System Financial Assistance Corporation (FAC).
Treasury payments annually reimburse the FAC for interest expense on FAC debt, which is authorized to be issued
through 1992. Treasury is authorized to pay all or part of
FAC interest for the first 10 years on each 15-year FAC
debt issuance. Debt proceeds are used to provide assistance
to financially troubled Farm Credit System lending institutions.
The Agricultural Credit Act of 1987 provided that the Farm
Credit System’s share of interest assessment for FAC debt
would increase if the System’s retained earnings exceeded
five percent of its assets. For 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Treasury portion of interest assessments was estimated at 13, 9
and 7 percent respectively.

finance credit programs involving lending to the public. With
the implementation of the Federal Credit Reform Act in 1992,
however, such agencies simply finance loan programs through
direct loan financing accounts that borrow directly from the
Treasury. Therefore, FFB loans are now used primarily to
finance direct agency activities such as resolution of failed
thrift institutions by the deposit insurance agencies, construction of Federal buildings by the General Services Administration, and meeting the financing requirements of the U.S. Postal Service. In certain cases, the FFB finances Federal direct
loans to the public that would otherwise be made by private
lenders and fully guaranteed by a Federal agency.
Lending by the FFB is set at 1⁄8 percent above Treasury
rates and may take one of three forms, depending on the
authorizing statutes pertaining to a particular agency or program: (1) the FFB may purchase agency financial assets; (2)
the FFB may acquire debt securities that the agency is otherwise authorized to issue to the public; and (3) the FFB may
originate direct loans on behalf of an agency by disbursing
loans directly to private borrowers and receiving repayments
from the private borrower on behalf of the agency. Because
law requires that transactions by the FFB be treated as a
means of financing agency obligations, the budgetary effect
of the third type of transaction is reflected in the budget
in the following sequence: a loan by the FFB to the agency,
a loan by the agency to a private borrower, a repayment
by a private borrower to the agency, and a repayment by
the agency to the FFB.
The following table shows the annual net lending by the
FFB by agency and program and the amount of loans outstanding at the end of each year. For 1996, the table reflects
the exchange of $7.9 billion in FFB loans to the Tennessee
Valley Authority and the Postal Service for Treasury securities of equal present value held by the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Trust Fund, which were then immediately redeemed with Treasury. The reduced amounts of debt
held by the FFB are reflected in the net lending amounts
in the table for the TVA and the Postal Service.

to ensure the coordination of Federal and federally assisted
borrowing from the public in a manner least disruptive to
private financial markets and institutions. Prior to that time,

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is a law
enforcement organization within the United States Department of the Treasury with unique responsibilities dedicated
to reducing violent crime, collecting revenue, and protecting
the public. ATF enforces the Federal laws and regulations
relating to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, explosives, and arson
by working directly and in cooperation with others to: (1)
Suppress and prevent crime and violence through enforcement, regulation, and community outreach, (2) ensure fair
and proper revenue collection, (3) provide fair and effective
industry regulation, (4) support and assist Federal, State,
local, and international law enforcement, and (5) provide innovative training programs in support of enforcement and regulatory functions.
The Bureau has changed its activities from Regulatory and
Criminal with eight programs (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives) to three activities: (1) Reduce Violent Crime; (2)
Collect Revenue; and (3) Protect the Public. The following
new performance measures, outcomes and outputs move toward fulfilling requirements of the Government Performance
and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). This new structure moves
the Bureau in the direction of fulfilling the Bureau’s overall
strategies, as well as short and long-term goals.

This appropriation is requested to provide full funding for
the cost of designing and building a new ATF National Laboratory Center and FIRE Research facility.
The current National Laboratory Center is located at an
inadequate site. The relocation of the Laboratory Center to
a new site will allow ATF to support its increased emphasis
on firearms and explosives regulation and enforcement as
well as to better perform its regulatory functions related to
alcohol and tobacco. Nearly 90 percent of the current facility
does not meet EPA and OSHA health and safety standards.
The Congress has already appropriated funds to initiate the
relocation.
The Fire Investigation Research and Development (FIRE)
Center will be co-located with ATF’s forensic laboratory. This
FIRE facility will provide law enforcement agencies with access to a single facility for scientific research and forensics
support into the causes and characteristics of uncontrolled
fires.
The Administration also seeks authority to transfer funds
to this account for relocation of ATF’s headquarters facilities.

Inspection and control.—In enforcing the provisions of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, the Inspection and Control
activity must: (1) stop the illegal entry of drugs and other
prohibited items and enforce export laws while accommodating the law-abiding persons and cargo entering this country;
(2) augment selectivity of Customs inspectional enforcement
programs through improved techniques and equipment; (3)
process persons and cargo entering this country; and (4) open
new ports of entry and expand service at existing ports to
meet the needs of the traveling and importing public.
Enforcement.—Operating under the authority of titles 19
and 26, U.S. Code, this program investigates violations of
laws and regulations enforced by Customs. These investigations support national enforcement efforts to combat narcotics
smuggling, economic crime, and national security violations.
Investigative areas include the smuggling of narcotics, child
pornography and other prohibited materials, trade fraud,
money laundering, and the illegal exports of critical technology and arms. Also, Customs has the ability to detect,
sort, intercept, track, and apprehend the air and vessel smuggler, despite the continually shifting narcotics and contraband
smuggling threat.
Tariff and Trade.—The Tariff and Trade program administers the commercial activities of the Customs Service under
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. These activities include:
(1) assessing and collecting duties, taxes, and fees on imported merchandise; (2) providing efficient service to the trade
community; (3) protecting domestic industry and jobs from
illegal and unfairly subsidized imports; (4) accurately collecting and reporting import and export statistics; (5) managing
Customs regulatory audit and laboratory analyses of imports;

The United States Mint manufactures coins, sells numismatic and investment products, and provides for security and
asset protection. Public Law 104–52, dated November 19,
1995, enacted 5136, of Subchapter III of chapter 51 of subtitle
IV of title 31, United States Code established the United
States Mint Public Enterprise Fund. The new fund encompasses the previous Salaries and Expenses, Coinage Profit
Fund, Coinage Metal Fund, and the Numismatic Public Enterprise Fund. The Mint submits annual audited businesstype financial statements to the Secretary of the Treasury
and to Congress in support of the operations of the revolving
fund. The Office of Management and Budget and the Department of the Treasury are working on Performance Based Organization proposals throughout the Department, including
one for the Mint.
The operations of the Mint are divided into three major
activities: Circulating Coinage, Protection, and Numismatic
and Investment Products. Beginning in 1997, the Capital Investments line is no longer identified as a separate budget
activity in order to better align the GPRA/budgetary reporting
with the Mint’s Strategic Plan. The Mint is credited with
receipts from its circulating coinage operations that are equal
to the cost of producing and distributing coins, which is the
sum of its operating expense and a charge for depreciation
of capital assets. The difference between these receipts and
the face value of the coins is profit, which is deposited as
seigniorage in the general fund. In 1996 the Mint generated
a profit of $587 million. Any seigniorage used to finance the
Mint’s capital acquisitions is recorded as budget authority
in the year that funds are obligated for this purpose, and
as receipts over the life of the asset.
Circulating Coinage.—This activity funds the manufacture
of circulating coins as determined by public demand. In 1998,
resources for this activity will allow the Mint to produce 20.5
billion coins. In 1996 with the merger of the former Coinage
Metal Fund into the Mint Public Enterprise Fund, the Mint
began including the cost of metal in the Circulating Coinage
activity.
Numismatic and Investment Products.—This activity funds
the manufacture of numismatic and bullion coins, medals,
and other products for sale to collectors and the general public. These coins include annual recurring programs such as

proof and uncirculated sets, silver proof coins, the American
Eagle gold and silver bullion uncirculated and proof coins,
and national and historic medals. The activity also includes
nonrecurring programs for coins and medals which are legislated to commemorate specific events or individuals. In 1998
this activity will fund the following new commemorative coin
programs: Black Revolutionary War Patriots/Crispus Attacks,
National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, and Robert F.
Kennedy Memorial.
Protection.—This activity funds protection of the Government’s stock of gold and silver bullion, coins, Mint employees
and visitors, plant facilities and equipment, and all other
Mint property against abuse, theft, damage, disorders, and
all other unsafe or illegal practices by utilizing police officers
and modern protective devices.

Approximately 500 claims are paid annually.

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
The mission of the Internal Revenue Service is to collect
the proper amount of tax revenue at the least cost; serve
the public by continually improving the quality of our products and services; and perform in a manner warranting the
highest degree of public confidence in our integrity, efficiency
and fairness.
To achieve its mission, the Service has identified three strategic objectives. First, to accomplish our objective of increasing compliance we will encourage and assist taxpayers to
voluntarily file timely and accurate returns and pay on time;
when taxpayers do not comply, we will take appropriate enforcement actions. Second, to achieve our objective of improving customer service we will improve telephone access, resolve
as many inquiries as possible on the first contact and make
it easier for taxpayers to comply with their tax obligations.
Third, and finally, to meet our objective of increasing productivity we will continually improve the quality of products and
services we provide by using systems improvement tools and
techniques, and developing a highly-trained work force.
IRS has developed a set of key performance measures to
focus the energies and talents of the organization and its
employees on the attainment of the mission, and to establish
clear lines of accountability for continuous improvement. The
mission effectiveness measure is a barometer of overall Service performance and is the first level of servicewide measures.
This indicator compares the amount of revenue collected during a fiscal year, minus the IRS costs of collecting that revenue and minus the monetized value of the hours used by
taxpayers and other costs in meeting their tax obligations,
with the amount of revenue that would have been collected
if all taxpayers had paid their full tax liability.
The second level of measures is used to assess achievement
of the Service’s three objectives, which are displayed below.
Finally, the third level of measures contains the measures
for the Service’s fourteen budget activities. These fourteen
activities represent the Service’s various functional components; each activity contributes toward the achievement of
the Service’s mission and objectives. Details on these measures are shown at the conclusion of the appropriation summaries.

This appropriation provides for: processing tax returns and
related documents; assisting taxpayers in filing of their returns and in paying taxes that are due; matching information
returns with tax returns; internal audit and internal security;
and management of financial resources, rent and utilities.
Submission processing.—This activity provides for all actions associated with receipt of completed returns and payments, deposit of those payments, processing and accounting
for revenue collections and Federal Tax Deposits and verification of the accuracy of information provided by the taxpayer
through an automated master file system. It provides for payment of refunds, offset of refunds against delinquent accounts,
issuance of notices that payments are overdue, identification
of possible nonfilers for investigation, and assistance in the
selection of tax returns for audit.
Telephone and Correspondence.—This activity aids voluntary compliance with Federal tax laws by informing taxpayers of their responsibilities and by providing services and
information through various media which assist them in
meeting their obligations. It provides for responding to inquiries concerning tax laws, IRS bills and notices, and resolving
tax account problems.

873

Document Matching.—This activity processes information
returns, such as wage, dividend, and interest statements and
matches them with related individual income tax returns.
This enables the Service to identify income reporting discrepancies, unsubstantiated deductions, and nonfiling of tax returns and to verify facts and amounts in question through
taxpayer contact prior to assessing additional tax or refunding
excess credits.
Inspection.—This activity protects public confidence in the
integrity of the Internal Revenue Service. Internal Audit independently reviews service programs at the national, regional
and local levels to ensure that laws and regulations are being
followed, that management and financial internal controls are
in place, that programs and major ADP systems are functioning effectively and efficiently and that appropriated funds
are spent as authorized. Internal Security conducts background investigations to maintain the integrity of the IRS
workforce against fraud and drug abuse and protect the Service against outside attempts to bribe, intimidate or harass
its employees.
Management Services.—This activity sets policies and goals,
provides leadership and direction for the Service, and provides
Servicewide policy guidance for managing contract administration and procurement programs, conducting strategic and
organizational planning, and developing and managing the
human, logistical, and financial resources required to fulfill
the Service’s mission in performing tax administration. It also

This appropriation provides for the examination of tax returns, both domestic and international, and the administrative and judicial settlement of taxpayer appeals of examination findings. It also provides for technical rulings, monitoring
employee pension plans, determining qualifications of organizations seeking tax-exempt status, examining tax returns of
exempt organizations, enforcing statutes relating to detection
and investigation of criminal violations of the internal revenue laws, collecting unpaid accounts, compiling statistics of
income and compliance research, and securing unfiled tax
returns and payments. Funds are requested to continue the
Service’s ability to ensure equitable application and adequate
enforcement of the tax laws, to promote voluntary compliance
with the internal revenue laws, to identify possible nonfilers
for investigation and to investigate cases of fraud or financial
transactions related to possible money laundering schemes.
Criminal Investigations.—This activity provides for enforcement of criminal statutes relating to violations of internal
revenue laws. It investigates cases of suspected intent to defraud, recommends prosecution as warranted, and assists in
the preparation and trial of criminal tax cases. In addition,
financial investigations expose money laundering schemes
through a variety of methods, including Currency Transaction
Reports.
Examination.—This activity encourages voluntary compliance with the internal revenue laws through the determination of correct tax liability by the selective examination of
tax returns, the correction of errors, and explanation of these
corrections to taxpayers. The appeals portion of this activity
provides staffing, training, and direct support to allow for
an administrative review process that provides a channel for

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

impartial case settlement prior to cases being docketed in
a court of law. This includes the offices of the national director of appeals and the regional director of appeals.
The international portion of this activity directs the full
range of IRS enforcement and assistance programs related
to U.S. taxpayers doing business or residing outside the United States as well as non-resident aliens with a U.S. tax obligation. It also provides technical tax training and administrative assistance to foreign governments; provides compliance
and taxpayer service support to Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and certain Pacific Island jurisdictions; and manages
activities related to tax treaties between the United States
and other governments. The compliance research component
of this activity develops and evaluates data on taxpayer filing
characteristics based on returns as they are filed and conducts
statistical and economic studies.
Collection.—This activity collects unpaid tax accounts and
secures delinquent returns; develops and implements programs to prevent tax accounts from becoming delinquent; determines and analyzes reasons for tax accounts that become
delinquent; and develops, implements, and measures programs that analyze the reasons for types and degrees of nonfiling.
Employee plans and exempt organizations.—This activity
monitors private pension plans to ensure compliance with
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended. Organizations apply for tax-exempt status, which
is determined by this activity, through the application of certain tests. By examining tax returns of tax-exempt organizations, it monitors and ensures compliance with current tax
laws regarding tax-exempt organizations.
Statistics of income.—This activity publishes Statistics of
Income Reports on the operation of income tax laws, as required by the Internal Revenue Code for the Congress and
its committees; for administrative use by the Secretary of
the Treasury and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue; and
for the Federal benchmark statistical programs on income,
wealth and finance.
Chief Counsel.—The counsel activity is the independent
legal counsel to the Internal Revenue Service and provides
the correct legal interpretation of the internal revenue laws;
represents the Internal Revenue Service in litigation; provides
all other legal support for the Internal Revenue Service; and,
performs these duties in a manner that enhances public confidence in the integrity, efficiency, and fairness of our nation’s
tax system.

As provided by law, there will be instances wherein the
earned income tax credit will exceed the amount of tax liability owed through the individual income tax system, resulting
in an additional payment to the tax filer. The Earned Income
Credit was originally authorized by the Tax Reduction Act
of 1975 (Public Law 94–12) and made permanent by the Revenue Adjustment Act of 1978 (Public Law 95–600). The Tax
Reform Act of 1986 and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Acts of 1990 and 1993 have increased the credit amount and
expanded the eligibility for earned income credit.

REFUNDING INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTIONS, INTEREST
Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)
Identification code 20–0904–0–1–908

The creation of the Information Technology Investments
Account responds to the requirements of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 and the Information Technology
Management Reform Act of 1996 and represents new capital
projects, formerly designated as Tax Systems Modernization,
in the ‘‘Information Systems’’ account within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Requesting funding for projects in this
account is consistent with the Administration’s fixed asset
policy by seeking advanced appropriations for multi-year
projects. The Administration supports full funding as part
of an ongoing attempt to improve cost and performance of
agency procurements. The Administration’s goal is to ensure
that capital assets support core/priority mission of the agency;
the assets have demonstrated a projected return on investment that is clearly articulated, cost-benefits of acquisition
have been evaluated, and to help ensure accountability. To
implement the Administration’s full funding policy, advance
appropriations are requested for information technology investments for the IRS’s primary business lines: submission
processing, electronic commerce, customer service; compliance,
and corporate systems. Investments in information technology
will be predicated on a systems architecture that integrates
functional requirements with infrastructure and data security;
a project sequencing plan that details the logical sequence
of systems development roll-out and phase out of legacy systems; and business cases that incorporate known outcomes
of reengineering and electronic commerce and redesigns of
work processes.

Under certain circumstances, as provided in 26 U.S.C. 6611,
interest is paid on Internal Revenue collections that must
be refunded. The Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act
of 1982 (Public Law 97–248) provides for daily compounding
of interest. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (Public Law
99–514), interest paid on Internal Revenue collections will
equal the Federal short-term rate plus two percentage points,
such rate to be adjusted quarterly.

This revolving fund was established pursuant to section
112(a) of the Federal Tax Lien Act of 1966, to serve as the
source of financing the redemption of real property by the
United States. During the process of collecting unpaid taxes,
the government places a tax lien on real estate in order
to protect the government’s interest. Situations arise where
property of this nature is collateral for other indebtedness
and the tax lien is subordinate to the original indebtedness.
In this circumstance, it is often to the government’s interest
to purchase the property during the foreclosure sale. The
advantage arises when the property is worth substantially
more than the first lienholder’s equity but is being sold for
an amount that barely covers that equity, thereby leaving
no proceeds to apply against delinquent taxes. Under these
circumstances, if the Government buys the property and subsequently puts it up for sale under more advantageous conditions, it is possible to realize sufficient profit on the transaction to fully or partially collect the amount of taxes due.
The revolving fund is reimbursed from the proceeds of the
sale in an amount equal to the amount expended from the
fund for the redemption. The balance of the proceeds are
applied against the amount of the tax, interest, penalties,
and additions thereto, and for the costs of sale. The remainder, if any, would revert to the parties legally entitled to
it.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency was created
for the purpose of establishing and regulating a national
banking system. The National Currency Act of 1863 (12
U.S.C. 1 et seq., 12 Stat. 665) provided for the chartering
and supervising functions in this connection. The income of
the bureau is derived principally from assessments paid by
national banks and interest on investments in U.S. Government obligations.
The Administrator of National Banks charters new banking
institutions only after investigation and due consideration of
charter applications. Supervision of existing national banks
is aided by the required submission of periodic reports and
detailed onsite examinations, which are conducted by a staff
of approximately 2,155 national bank examiners. At present,
there are approximately 2,736 national banks with total assets of more than $2.5 trillion.
In addition, the Comptroller considers applications for
mergers in which the resulting bank will be a national bank
and applications from banks to establish branches. The Comptroller of the Currency also promulgates rules and regulations
for the guidance of national banks and bank directors.

The Office of Thrift Supervision was created by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
1989 (12 U.S.C. 1811 note). The Office assumed the regulatory
functions of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board dissolved
by the same act.
The Office charters, regulates and examines Federal thrifts,
all of which are insured by the Savings Association Insurance
Fund. In addition, the Office cooperates in the examination
and supervision of State-chartered thrifts insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund. The Office sets capital
standards for Federal and State thrifts and reviews applications of State-chartered thrifts for conversion to Federal
thrifts. It also reviews applications for establishment of
branch offices.
Income of the bureau is derived principally from assessments on thrifts, examination fees and interest on investments in U.S. Government obligations. At present, the Office
oversees more than 1,300 thrifts with more than 11,000 operating branches and total assets of more than $700 billion.
