This fund finances, on an available until expended basis,
the Commerce Department’s expenses associated with the
first phase of the renovation and modernization of the Herbert
C. Hoover Building (HCHB). The planned renovation of the
Department’s 70-year old headquarters by the General Services Administration (GSA) will extend the building’s useful
life by upgrading infrastructure, improving space utilization,
incorporating major security upgrades and preserving historic
features of the building. GSA and Commerce are both responsible for costs related to the project, and funding in both
accounts should occur simultaneously so that design, installation, furnishing and moves can be coordinated.

The Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) mission is to promote economy, efficiency and effectiveness and to detect and
prevent waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement in the programs and operations of the Department of Commerce. OIG’s
work is conducted primarily through audits, inspections, and
investigations. The audit function provides for both internal
and contract audits: internal audits review and evaluate all
facets of agency operations; contract audits provide professional advice to agency contracting officials on accounting and
financial matters related to negotiation, award, administration, repricing and settlement of contracts. Inspections provide
detailed technical evaluations of agency operations. Investigations provide for the detection and scrutiny of improper and
illegal activities involving Commerce programs, personnel and
operations.
The OIG concentrates on programs and operations that
have the greatest potential for inadvertent or deliberate fraud
and recovery of funds, while at the same time precluding
unnecessary outlays and improving management agency-wide.
Performance measures indicate the quality of audits, inspections, and investigations conducted within the reporting period, as well as the dollar value of financial benefits identified
by the OIG.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records the administrative expenses for this program, as well as the subsidy costs associated with the loan
guarantees. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present
value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on
a cash basis.
Consistent with the Administration’s efforts to reduce corporate subsidies, Congress rescinded $115 million in 2001,
$5.2 million in 2002, and $0.9 million in 2003 as the economic
outlook for the oil and gas industry dramatically improved.
The authority to guarantee new loans expired on December

The administration of EDA’s economic development assistance programs is carried out through a network of headquarters and regional personnel. The 2006 Budget proposes
to consolidate duplicative Federal economic and community
development programs into a new economic and community
development program to be administered by the Department
of Commerce. No new funding is requested for EDA’s economic development assistance programs in 2006. As such,
administrative expenses will be used to close-out and monitor
existing grants.
Direct program.—These activities include project monitoring
as well as general support functions such as economic development research, information dissemination, legal, civil
rights, environmental compliance, budgeting and debt management.
Reimbursable program.—EDA provides grant review and
processing services to other Federal agencies on a reimbursable basis. Funds received cover the cost of performing this
work.

The President’s 2006 Budget creates a new economic development program within the Department of Commerce that
streamlines Federal assistance and targets funding to economically distressed communities and regions. The President’s proposal replaces the current duplicative set of Federal
community and economic development programs with a more
consolidated approach that focuses resources on the creation
of jobs and opportunities, encourages private sector investment, and includes rigorous accountability measures and incentives. In exchange for flexibility in the use of funds and
reduced administrative burdens, the program sets strong accountability standards and makes continued funding contingent on communities’ progress towards meeting program
goals. In addition, the program provides a bonus fund for
those communities that have taken steps to improve conditions in ways that have been proven to attract businesses,
including: improving schools, reducing regulatory barriers to
business creation and housing development, and reducing violent crime rates. This program will provide States and communities with a source of funding for planning, infrastructure
development, and business financing to help achieve longterm economic stability and growth.

The activities of this appropriation provide for the collection, compilation, and publication of a broad range of current
economic, demographic, and social statistics.
Current economic statistics.—The business statistics program provides current information on sales and related measures of retail and wholesale trade and selected service industries. The Improved Measurement of Services initiative in
the 2006 Budget provides a comprehensive framework for
gathering information on services and improves the periodicity and detail of service sector statistics. The Mail Security
Initiative (included in both the Salaries and Expenses account
and in the Periodic Censuses and Programs account) will
support the initial set-up and contract costs necessary to
screen mail processed through the National Processing Center
in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The initiative covers screening of
survey and census responses.
Construction statistics are provided on significant construction activity such as housing permits and starts, value of
new construction, residential alterations and repairs, and
quarterly price indexes for new single-family houses.
Manufacturing statistics survey key industrial commodities
and manufacturing activities, providing current statistics on
the quantity and value of industrial output.
General economic statistics provide a Business Register of
all U.S. business firms and their establishments, uniform
classification data based on the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS), annual county business data,
corporate financial data, e-commerce estimates, and an economic research program. The Longitudinal Employer/Household Dynamics initiative in the 2006 Budget will fund a database structure to integrate state administrative data and Census Bureau data products to facilitate more informed decisionmaking and better allocation of resources nationwide.

Foreign trade statistics provide for publication of monthly,
cumulative, and annual reports on the quantity, shipping
weight, and dollar value of imports and exports, by mode
of transportation, detailed commodity category, customs districts, and country of origin or destination. This program covers the Census Bureau responsibilities under the Trade Act
of 1974. The Improved Automated Export System (AES) initiative in the 2006 Budget will provide support for the legislatively mandated use of the AES to produce more accurate
trade statistics.
Government statistics reports provide information on the
revenue, expenditures, indebtedness and debt transactions,
financial assets, employment, and payrolls of State and local
governments. The Census Bureau provides quarterly information on State and local tax revenue on the national level
by type of tax and governmental level, and provides information on financial assistance programs of the Federal Government.
Current demographic statistics.—Household surveys provide
information on the number, geographic distribution, and social and economic characteristics of the population.
The Census Bureau compiles statistics on the Nation’s
housing inventory and provides national and regional estimates of housing vacancy rates. Population and housing analyses provide current demographic reports on the geographic
distribution and on the demographic, social, and economic
characteristics of the population, as well as current estimates
and future projections of the population of the United States,
and special analyses of demographic, social and economic
trends. International statistics provide estimates of population, labor force, and economic activity, including spatial
distribution, and analyses concerning aspects of demographic
policies, economic policies, and trends for various countries.
Survey development and data services.—The Statistical Abstract of the United States summarizes Government and private statistics of the industrial, social, political, and economic
activities of the United States. The Bureau conducts general
research on survey methods and techniques to improve the
efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness of statistical programs.
Survey of Program Dynamics.—Mandatory appropriations
provided by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 are used to expand the Survey of Income
and Program Participation to evaluate the impact of welfare
reforms made the Act.
State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).—
Mandatory approprations provided by the Medicare, Medicaid,
and State Children’s Health Insurance Program Balanced
Budget Refinement Act of 1999 are used to produce statistically reliable annual data from the Annual Social and Economic Supplement of the Current Population Survey on the
number of low-income children who do not have health insurance coverage. Data from this enhanced survey are used in
the formula to allocate funds to States under the SCHIP
program.
Performance measures.—Activities under the Salaries and
Expenses account support the Department of Commerce’s
strategic goal of promoting economic growth. The Census Bureau performance goal is to meet the needs of policymakers,
businesses, nonprofit organizations, and the public for current
and benchmark measures of the U.S. population, economy,
and governments.
A more detailed presentation of the goals, performance
measures, and targets is found in the Department’s 2006
Budget Submission.

This appropriation funds legislatively mandated periodic
economic and demographic censuses and other authorized activities.
Economic statistics programs:
Economic census.—The economic census provides data on
manufacturing, mining, retail and wholesale trade service,
construction and transportation industries. The census is
taken every fifth year, covering calendar years ending in two
and seven. 2006 is the second year in the 2007 Economic
Census cycle. Program objectives for 2006 include: 1) A comprehensive review of 2002 Economic Census content, products,
and processing; 2) Planning activities that ensure that the
2007 Economic Census provides relevant and useful information about our evolving economy; 3) Identifying ways to facilitate and simplify reporting; 4) Developing processing systems
that improve the quality, usefulness, and timeliness of economic census data products.
Census of governments.—The census of governments is
taken every fifth year for calendar years ending in two and
seven. The 2007 Census of Governments consists of three
phases: Government Organization, Public Employment, and
Government Finances. 2006 is the second year in the fiveyear cycle of the 2007 Census of Governments. The primary
focus for 2006 is planning and implementation of the organizational phase (including initial data collection) as well as
planning for the Employment and Finance phases. Key objectives are to ensure that the 2007 Census of Governments
fully covers the dynamic state and local government sector,
research to identify areas where changes in content and data
collection methodology are required, and a systematic review
of census data products.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Demographic statistics programs:
Intercensal demographic estimates.—In years between decennial censuses, this program develops annual estimates of
the population and its demographic characteristics for the
Nation, States, metropolitan areas, counties and functioning
governmental units. These data are used for a variety of
purposes including the allocation of nearly $200 billion in
Federal funds, as controls for a variety of federally sponsored
surveys, as denominators for vital statistics and other health
and economic indicators, and for a variety of Federal, State,
and private program planning needs. These data support annual estimates for the major components of demographic
change instead of the current once a decade estimate. In
2006, the program will improve its population estimates for
states and large counties, which are used by the American
Community Survey.
Decennial Census.—The Census Bureau is in the process
of preparing for the next decennial census.
The plan for the 2010 Census program features three key
components that focus on reducing operational risk, improving
accuracy, providing more relevant data, and containing cost.
The components are: (1) A multi year planning, development,
and testing process that will allow the Census Bureau to
fully develop all major elements of a reengineered census
designed to collect the basic (‘‘short form’’) data needed to
fulfill constitutional and legal mandates; (2) Implementation
of the American Community Survey (ACS) to collect and publish the more detailed ‘‘long form’’ data on an annual basis,
instead of only once a decade; and (3) Enhancing the Census
Bureau’s geographic database, referred to as MAF/TIGER
(Master Address File/Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) through the use of Global Positioning
System (GPS) capability to update and improve street location
information and bring it into alignment with GPS coordinates.
Activities in these three componant areas are highly integrated, complement each other, and form the basis for reengineering the 2010 Decennial Census.
In 2006, the Census Bureau continues extensive planning,
testing and development activities, including a major field
test, to support the re-engineered, short form only, 2010 Census. In 2006, the Bureau also will continue survey implementation and release of data from the ACS. To enhance the
MAF/TIGER system, the Census Bureau will continue a
multi-year effort of alligning map feature locations with GPS
coordinates, and will compete this for 700 of the Nation’s
3,233 counties.
Demographic surveys sample redesign.—This program provides for the sample selection of monthly, quarterly and annual household surveys to conform to the redistribution of
the population measured in the decennial census. This is done
after each decennial census in order to select accurate samples for the major household surveys throughout the decade.
Geographic support.—This activity’s goal is to determine
the correct location of every business establishment in the
U.S. and its territories. The activity’s major components include the TIGER data base and the MAF. TIGER provides
maps and geographic information for data tabulation; MAF
provides the geographically-assigned address list for the Nation. Together, they provide essential information and products critical for conducting many of the Bureau’s programs.
Data processing systems.—This activity provides for the
management of hardware and software needed for the Bureau’s general purpose computing facilities.
Suitland federal center office space construction. — This
program provides for the purchase of furniture and the relocation of operations and employees to a new facility to avoid
disruption of mission-critical operations.
Performance measures.—Activities under the Periodic Censuses and Programs account support the Department of Commerce’s strategic goal of promoting economic growth. The per-

Percent of GDP Estimate Correct This measure tracks
BEA’s performance in estimating GDP levels and
growth rates. It is a rolling average of six measures of accuracy over three years. ...........................

88%

>85%

Bureau of Economic Analysis.—BEA’s mission is to promote
the understanding of the U.S. economy by providing the most
timely, relevant and accurate economic accounts data in an
objective and cost-effective manner.
BEA’s economic statistics are among the Nation’s most
closely watched, and provide a comprehensive and up-to-date
picture of the U.S. economy. These statistics are key ingredients in critical decisions affecting interest and exchange rates,
tax and budget projections, business investment plans, and
the allocation of close to $200 billion in federal funds.
The cornerstone of BEA’s statistics are the National Income
and Product Accounts (NIPAs), which feature the estimates
of the gross domestic product (GDP) and related measures.
Since the NIPAs were first published, BEA has developed
and extended these estimates to keep pace with the constantly changing nature of U.S. economic activity. Today, BEA
prepares national, regional, industry and international accounts that present essential information on such issues as
economic growth, regional economic development, inter-industry relationships and the Nation’s position in the world economy.
National economic accounts.—BEA’s national economic statistics provide a comprehensive view of U.S. domestic production, consumption, and investment, of exports and imports,
and of national and domestic income and saving. These statistics are best known by summary measures such as GDP,
corporate profits, personal income and spending, and personal
savings. The national economic program also prepares and
publishes estimates of the U.S. stock of fixed assets and consumer durable goods annually.
International economic accounts.—The international transactions accounts provide information on trade in goods and
services, investment income, and government and private financial flows. They are best known by summary measures
such as the balance of payments and the trade balance. In
addition, the accounts provide information on the U.S. international investment position, which measures the value of
U.S. international assets and liabilities. These accounts are
critical statistical tools used in formulating and evaluating
international economic policy. BEA’s data on direct investment - the most detailed data set on the operations of multinational companies available - are used to assess the role
these companies play in the global economy.
Regional economic accounts.—The regional accounts provide
data on total and per capita personal income by region, State,
metropolitan area, and county, and on gross state product.
The regional accounts statistics are essential for State government revenue forecasting, the allocation of Federal funds to
the States, and for private sector investment decisions.
Industry economic accounts.—The industry economic accounts, presented both in an input-output framework and as
annual output by each industry, provide a detailed view of
the interrelationships between U.S. producers and users and
the contribution to production across industries. These accounts are used extensively by policymakers and businesses
to understand industry interactions, productivity trends, and
the changing structure of the U.S. economy.
Implementing BEA’s strategic plan.—The dynamics of the
U.S. economy, with its growing complexity, technological advances, and dramatic changes in structure, make it increasingly difficult to provide an accurate, up-to-date picture of
economic activity. BEA must continually expand and improve
its economic accounts to keep pace with the economy and
meet the increased demand for economic information. BEA
is working to overcome statistical weaknesses and close gaps
in data coverage by developing such improvements as more

accurate measures of services, profits, compensation, new
quality-adjusted prices, new measures of international trade
and finance, and accelerated release of industry and international trade estimates.
In 2006, BEA will make a number of improvements to
the timeliness and comprehensiveness of the Nation’s international statistics on multinational corporations and trade
in services to begin to help answer many of questions related
to offshore outsourcing. BEA also proposes to complete its
multi-year program of improvements to its economic accounts.
In 2006, BEA will accelerate the release of three key regional
statistics, incorporate real-time data into GDP and other statistics, and continue its work to improve data on international
financial transactions. Finally, BEA will complete its work
to produce up-to-date, annual estimates of business investment and employment.
Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) Policy support.—The ESA headquarters conducts economic research and
policy analysis directly in support of the Secretary of Commerce and the Administration. ESA monitors and interprets
economic developments and domestic fiscal and monetary policies, and analyzes economic conditions and policy initiatives
of major trading partners. ESA also provides oversight of
the Census Bureau and the BEA and coordinates efforts for
budget requests, workforce restructuring efforts, and strategic
planning.
ESA Reimbursable program.—Provides economic and statistical data and analyses on a reimbursable and advance payment basis to other Federal agencies, individuals, and firms
requesting such information.
Activities under Economic and Statistical Analysis support
the Commerce Department’s strategic goal to provide the information and tools to maximize U.S. competitiveness and
enable economic growth for American industries, workers, and
consumers.
Performance measures.—BEA generally meets and exceeds
its performance targets and has received ‘‘Effective’’ ratings
under the Program Assessment Rating Tool. For 2006, BEA
will seek to maintain delivery of all data releases on schedule,
maintain an average rating in customer satisfaction greater
than a 4.0 (on a 5-point scale), and achieve a rating in the
percentage of GDP estimates correct above 85 percent. In
addition, BEA will strive to accomplish all the ambitious milestones outlined in the BEA Strategic Plan for 2005–2009.
A more detailed presentation of goals, performance measures, and targets is found in the Department’s 2006 Budget
Submission.

firms by promoting international trade, opening foreign markets, ensuring compliance with trade laws and agreements,
and supporting U.S. commercial interests at home and
abroad.
Working as a key part of the Government-wide Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee, ITA will pursue this mission
through the activities of its five major subdivisions and
through reimbursable programs as follows:
Manufacturing and services.—This unit focuses on the domestic and international aspects of U.S. industrial competitiveness; works with U.S. industry to evaluate the needs of
American manufacturers; assesses the economic impact of
new and existing government rules and regulations on U.S.
manufacturing and service industries competitiveness; and
represents and advocates for the interests of the U.S. manufacturing and services sectors in the U.S. Government policy
setting and regulatory programs.
Market access and compliance.—Market Access and Compliance (MAC) is the Government’s front-line team working to
unlock foreign markets for American goods and services country-by-country and region-by-region. MAC concentrates on the
development of strategies to overcome market access obstacles
faced by U.S. businesses. MAC maintains in-depth knowledge
of the trade policies of our trading partners. It monitors foreign country compliance with numerous multilateral and bilateral trade-related agreements, identifying compliance problems and other market access obstacles. MAC’s specialists
work with other Government agencies to address barriers rapidly, and to ensure that U.S. firms know how to use the
market opening agreements. It provides information on foreign trade and business practices to U.S. firms and works
to find opportunities and to develop market strategies in traditional and emerging markets. MAC develops both current
and long-term market access strategies, including information
needed to conduct trade negotiations to open markets. This
unit will continue to provide support for the operation of
the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Import administration.—Import Administration investigates
antidumping and countervailing duty cases to ensure compliance with applicable U.S. statutes and administers certain
other statutory programs relating to imports and foreign trade
zones.
Trade promotion and the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service.—The Commercial Service conducts a variety of trade promotion programs intended to broaden the base of U.S. exports, particularly of small and medium-sized firms; provides
American companies with reliable advice on the range of public and private assistance available and knowledgeable support for all other Federal trade promotion services; offers
export assistance through information, referral and followup services through its integrated global field network; and
leads interagency advocacy efforts for major overseas projects,
including early involvement in project development and assistance to resolve post-transaction problems.
Administration and executive direction.—Administration
and Executive Direction provide policy leadership and administration services for the other ITA subdivisions. Executive
Direction includes the Office of the Under Secretary for International Trade and subordinate offices covering Legislative
and Intergovernmental Affairs, Public Affairs, Office of the
Chief Information Officer, and the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee staff. Administration provides human resources services, financial management services, and general
administrative assistance for the other ITA subdivisions.
Reimbursable program.—This program includes receipts for
services rendered to other Federal agencies and receipts received on a cost recovery basis from private entities for trade
events and export information services. ITA proposes to collect
fees to offset the costs associated with services and products

The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) maintains the lead role within the Federal Government providing
management and technical assistance services to minorityowned businesses (MBEs). MBDA’s long term mission is to
promote entrepreneurial parity and wealth creation for the
minority business community.
MBDA has reengineered its organizational structure to be
the frontline for support in business assistance, information
and customer service and will work to promote strategic
growth, job creation, and sustainable development for the rapidly expanding minority business population in the United
States.
MBDA Goal and Objectives.—In 2006, MBDA will expand
its goal of ‘‘Increase access to the marketplace and financing
for minority-owned businesses.’’ MBDA will manage its programs with an emphasis on strategic growth, focusing on
minority firms with rapid growth potential and the ability
to create jobs and have an economic impact in geographical
areas that have a high concentration of minorities. Specifically, MBDA has developed a strategy to target its client
base for firms with $500,000 or more in annual revenues
as well as firms with rapid growth potential but smaller annual revenues.
Performance Measures.—MBDA activities will support the
Administration’s theme to provide the information and tools
to maximize U.S. competitiveness and enable economic growth
for American industries, workers and consumers. MBDA will
strive to maximize access to capital and procurement contract
opportunities for MBEs to significantly increase gross receipts
and job creation within the minority business community.

National Ocean Service (NOS).—NOS programs provide scientific, technical, and management expertise to promote safe
navigation; assess the health of coastal and marine resources
and respond to natural and human induced threats; and preserve the coastal ocean and global environments.
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).—NMFS programs provide for the management and conservation of the
Nation’s living marine resources and their environment, including fish stocks, marine mammals, and endangered species. Using science-based conservation, management, and restoration activities, these resources can benefit the Nation on
a sustained basis. NMFS seeks to build sustainable fisheries,
recover protected species, and sustain healthy coastal ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).—OAR
programs provide the environmental research and technology
needed to improve NOAA weather and air quality warnings
and forecasts, climate predictions, and marine services. To
accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of scientists
in its Federal research laboratories, universities, and joint
institutes and partnership programs. OAR supports research
including national policy formulation in environmental areas,
climate change, weather, air quality, stratospheric ozone depletion, marine biotechnology, aquaculture, and environmental observing technologies. NOAA-wide programs also
funded in OAR are Climate Change Research, Ocean Exploration, and High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC).
National Weather Service (NWS).—NWS programs provide
timely and accurate meteorologic, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings and forecasts to ensure the safety of the

population, mitigate property losses, and improve the economic productivity of the Nation. NWS is also responsible
for issuing operational climate forecasts for the United States.
NWS data and products form a national information database
and infrastructure used by other government agencies, the
private sector, the public, and the global community.
National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information
Service (NESDIS).—NESDIS programs operate environmental
polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites; collect and archive
global environmental data and information for distribution
to users in commerce, industry, agriculture, science and engineering, the general public, and Federal, State, and local
agencies.
Program support.—These programs provide for overall
NOAA management, including services to NOAA/DOC field
offices through the regional Administrative Support Centers.
The Facilities subactivity provides for repair and maintenance
to existing facilities; facilities planning and design; and environmental compliance. The Office of Marine and Aviation Operations provides aircraft and marine data acquisition, repair
and maintenance of the existing fleet, planning of future modernization, and technical and management support for NOAAwide activities through the NOAA Commissioned Corps.
Foreign Fishing Observer Fund.—This fund is financed
through collections from foreign vessel owners who fish within
the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Collections to the Fund
are used by the Secretary of Commerce to pay the salaries
of observers and program support personnel, the costs of data
management, and analysis of the observer program. The observers collect scientific information on the foreign catch and
monitor compliance with provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Act. No new funds
are proposed for this account as unobligated balances are
sufficient to provide observer coverage aboard foreign vessels
fishing within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone.
Performance measures.—Activities under this account support NOAA’s goals. Each of the mission goals has key supporting performance measures as follows:

water information.

This program provides compensation to commercial fishermen for damages to or loss of fishing gear, including economic
loss, related to oil and gas exploration, development, and production on the Outer Continental Shelf. The fund is supported
by assessments to holders of leases, permits, easements, and
rights of way in areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. No
new funds are proposed for this account in 2006; remaining
unobligated balances are sufficient to carry out this program
for the year.

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 stipulates that sums recovered from awards or settlements for natural resource damages
to NOAA trust resources shall be retained in a revolving
trust account to permit NOAA to carry out (1) oil and hazardous materials contingency planning and response, (2) natural resource damage assessment, and (3) restoration or replacement of injured or lost natural resources. For a comprehensive description of the Prince William Sound Restoration Program, refer to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s
Natural Resource Damage Assessment account. The 2005 and
2006 estimates transferred from other accounts are preliminary and subject to change. NOAA will utilize funds transferred to this account to respond to hazardous materials spills
in the coastal and marine environments, by conducting damage assessments, providing scientific support during litigation,
and using recovered damages to restore injured resources.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
administers the patent and trademark laws, which provide
protection to inventors and businesses for their inventions
and corporate and product identifications, and encourages innovation and the scientific and technical advancement of
American industry through the preservation, classification,
and dissemination of patent and trademark information. In
addition to the examination of applications for patent grants
and trademark registrations, the USPTO provides technical
advice and information to other Executive Branch agencies
on intellectual property matters and the trade-related aspects
of intellectual property rights and assists governments of
other countries in establishing regulatory and enforcement
mechanisms so as to meet their international obligations relating to the protection of intellectual property. Under the
Administration’s proposal, the USPTO would have a program
level of $1,703 million in 2006 and offsetting fees of $1,703
million. This spending authority resulted from legislation, enacted for 2005 and 2006, that increased and restructured
patent and trademark fees. The Administration plans to submit a legislative proposal to permanently extend these
changes beyond 2006.
During 2006, the Office will continue to operate through
two distinct business lines:
Patent business. The Patent Business grants exclusive
rights, for limited times, to inventors for their discoveries.
The activities under this business line include all functions
in the patent application processing pipeline, including the
initial administrative examination of patent applications, the
processing of patent applications filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, the formal examination of patent applications to determine the patentability of a claimed invention,
the post-examination processing and printing of allowed patents, the review for quality, and the quasi-judicial review
in appeal and interference proceedings. Other ancillary functions of the Patent Business are the classification, documentation and search systems, and the maintenance of a scientific
and technical library. Resources requested in 2006 will be
used to fund additional patent examiner staff and inflationary
increases; continue the implementation of E-Government in
Patents; begin competitively sourcing the classification and
reclassification functions currently performed by patent examiners, thereby redirecting patent examiner expertise to the
core government function of examination; and expand bilateral and multilateral agreements to strengthen intellectual
property rights globally and reduce duplication of effort
among international intellectual property offices.
Key Patent Business performance measures follow.

Trademark business. The Trademark Business provides for
the protection of trademarks through Federal registration.
The activities under this business line include the examination of trademark applications to determine whether the statutory criteria for the Federal registration of a trade or service
mark are met. The Office issues notices of allowance and
certificates of registration based on a trademark attorney’s
determination. Trademark application examination activities
also include inter parte proceedings involving oppositions,
cancellations and ex parte proceedings. The 2006 program

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
is responsible for providing the measurement foundation
needed by U.S. industry, Government, and scientific establishments. The NIST Laboratories intramural research program
and the Baldrige National Quality Program are funded by
the Scientific and Technical Research and Services appropriation.
NIST Laboratories:
Laboratories and Technical Programs.—Develops and disseminates measurement techniques, reference data and materials, test methods, standards, and other infrastructural technologies and services required by U.S. industry. NIST’s Laboratories and Technical Programs subactivity includes eight
technical programs that concentrate on measurements and
standards for electronics and electrical engineering; manufacturing engineering; chemical science and technology; physics;
materials science and engineering; building and fire research;
computer science and applied mathematics; and standards
and technology services. These programs help NIST to fulfill
its mission to promote innovation, facilitate trade, ensure public safety and security, and help create jobs by strengthening
the Nation’s measurements and standards infrastructure.
This subactivity also includes three centrally managed activities that provide support to NIST programs, including advanced capabilities development in NIST mission-oriented
areas of research, high caliber postdoctoral scientists and engineers, and computer and business systems support.
National Research Facilities.—Supports operations and research in two major NIST facilities: the NIST Center for
Neutron
Research
(NCNR)
and
the
National
Nanomanufacturing and Nanometrology Facility (N3F). As
the Nation’s premier neutron research user facility, serving
the majority of all neutron scattering users in the U.S., the
NCNR provides an intense source of neutrons used to probe
the molecular and atomic structure and dynamics of a wide
range of materials. With measurement capabilities unavailable anywhere else in North America, the NCNR plays an
essential role in nano-science and technology research. The
N3F leverages the unique capabilities of the NIST Advanced
Measurement Laboratory complex, providing state-of-the-art
facilities for nanomanufacturing and nanometrology where researchers from industry, universities and other Federal laboratories can collaborate in solving critical measurement and
fabrication issues.
Baldrige National Quality Program.—Extends U.S. competitiveness in business, health care, education, and non-profit
organizations through performance excellence criteria and
other information transfer, and management of the Malcolm
Baldrige National Quality Award.
Performance measures.—The activities under this account
support Commerce’s strategic goal of fostering science and
technological leadership by protecting intellectual property,
enhancing technical standards and advancing measurement
science.
Performance goal: The NIST Laboratories promote innovation, trade, security and jobs by strengthening the Nation’s
measurement and standards infrastructure. NIST evaluates
performance on this goal through a combination of evaluation

This appropriation supports the extension of technology to
American industry and fosters the development of broadbased, high-risk technology by industry.
Extramural programs:
Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program
(HMEP).—As a nationwide system of centers serving clients
in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, the goal of the HMEP is
to improve the competitiveness of U.S.-based small manufacturers. The Program does this by providing information, decision support, and implementation assistance to small manufacturers in adopting advanced manufacturing technologies
and business best practices. The Hollings Manufacturing Extension Centers are created through a partnership among
State, Federal, and local governments, educational institutions, and private industry, and they tailor services to meet
the needs of the local manufacturing base in the area. The
2006 Budget proposes to fund the Hollings Manufacturing
Extension Partnership Program at $47 million, a 50 percent
reduction from the 2005 grant level. The Administration’s
approach will maintain a strong national network of centers
while focusing funding based on centers’ performance and
need.
Advanced technology program (ATP).—The ATP was created
to help accelerate the commercialization of high-risk, broadbenefit enabling technologies with significant commercial potential. ATP provides competitive, cost-shared assistance to
U.S. businesses and joint research and development ventures
to help them improve their competitive position. No new
awards are expected in 2005. Consistent with the Administration’s emphasis on shifting resources to reflect changing
needs, the 2006 Budget proposes to terminate the Advanced
Technology Program.

studies, and evaluation of numerous quantitative outcomes
and outputs.
Performance goals:
1. Accelerate private investment in and development of
high-risk, broad-impact technologies.
2. Raise the productivity and competitiveness of small manufacturers.

This appropriation supports the construction of new facilities and the renovation and maintenance of NIST’s current
buildings and laboratories to comply with more stringent
science and engineering requirements and to keep pace with
tightening Federal, State, and local health and safety regulations.
In 2006, the request improves the safety and performance
of existing NIST facilities — and the capabilities and productivity of research staff — by addressing the highest priority
repair projects, for design and renovation of existing facilities
and the construction of new facilities.

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is the principal Executive Branch adviser
to the President on domestic and international telecommunications policy. Additionally, it manages the Federal Government’s use of the radio frequency spectrum and performs
extensive research in telecommunication sciences.
Domestic and international policies.—NTIA develops and
advocates policies to improve and expand domestic telecommunications services and markets. NTIA provides advice
to White House officials, coordinates with other Executive
Branch agencies, and participates in relevant Congressional
actions and interagency and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proceedings on a host of issues. NTIA’s focus
is on current and emerging issues such as the deployment
of broadband networks and services. NTIA develops policies
promoting universal service to all Americans, competition in
telecommunications and information markets, and development of new technologies. NTIA makes policy recommendations in such areas as traditional common carrier networks,
wireless services and products, the mass media (including
advanced television), as well as issues arising from the Internet and electronic commerce.
NTIA advocates the advancement of U.S. priorities in international telecommunications policy and regulatory areas.
NTIA will continue to encourage the liberalization of telecommunication regulations now taking hold across the globe
that create significant opportunities for U.S. interests and
enterprises, including emphasis on the international development of electronic commerce as an essential element of today’s
information society. NTIA supports U.S. interests in international and regional fora affecting telecommunications
standards, infrastructure development and market access.

NTIA also represents Executive Branch concerns related to
international telecommunications regulation before the FCC.
In coordination with the Department of State and the FCC,
the agency also discharges statutory responsibilities with respect to international satellite organizations.
Spectrum management.—NTIA manages the Federal Government’s use of the radio frequency spectrum, both domestically and internationally. In coordination with the FCC and
with the advice of the Interdepartment Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC), NTIA supports the spectrum requirements of
the Federal Government, makes plans to satisfy the Government’s future spectrum needs, coordinates Federal spectrum
requirements in shared spectrum bands, and develops and
implements policy to use the spectrum effectively and efficiently. NTIA prepares for, participates in, and implements
the results of regional, national, and international conferences
on spectrum use and allocations. NTIA also is responsible
for emergency communications and Federal Government continuity of operations planning for communications during
emergency conditions. NTIA coordinates its activities with the
private sector through its spectrum openness program and
its Internet web site and apprises private sector entities of
Government spectrum use and rules and regulations governing this use. NTIA reviews major Federal communications
systems to certify that spectrum will be available; conducts
frequency band studies to define spectrum issues and makes
plans to prevent future interference; processes approximately
90,000 annual requests for frequency assignments; and provides support for analysis and engineering aspects of spectrum management to meet the communications needs of the
Federal Government. NTIA also strives to identify and apply
new spectrum saving technologies, identify adjacent band effects for use by designers of future communications, and address the public safety community’s need for spectrum and
interoperability at the Federal, State, and local levels.
Telecommunication sciences research.—NTIA develops improved spectrum measurement techniques to address the increasing use of broadband technologies, including digital signals, spread-spectrum, and frequency agile systems. NTIA
supports the development of wireless technologies by studying
the behavior of broadband radio waves in indoor and outdoor
environments in order to create more accurate modeling of
radio propagation that will lead to improved methods of spectrum sharing among users. Additionally, NTIA prepares and
coordinates proposed domestic and international telecommunications standards, develops and demonstrates user-friendly
ways to assess the performance of industry and Government
telecommunications networks, evaluates future technologies
that may facilitate competition in the U.S. telecommunications industry, promotes international trade opportunities
for U.S. telecommunications firms and improves the cost effectiveness of Government telecommunications use.
Performance measures.—Activities under this account support Commerce’s strategic goal of fostering science and technological leadership by protecting intellectual property, enhancing technical standards, and advancing measurement
science.
Goal: Ensure that allocation of radio spectrum provides the
greatest benefit to all people.

firearms traces for any reason, and those reasons are not necessarily reported to the Federal Government. Not all firearms used
in crime are traced and not all firearms traced are used in crime.
(2) Firearms selected for tracing are not chosen for purposes
of determining which types, makes or models of firearms are used
for illicit purposes. The firearms selected do not constitute a random sample and should not be considered representative of the
larger universe of all firearms used by criminals, or any subset
of that universe. Firearms are normally traced to the first retail
seller, and sources reported for firearms traced do not necessarily
represent the sources or methods by which firearms in general
are acquired for use in crime.¿
