THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008
87.00

AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAM—Continued

The Affordable Housing Program was created by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
1989 (FIRREA). FIRREA requires each of the twelve Federal
Home Loan Banks to contribute the greater of 10 percent
of its previous year’s net earnings or $100 million to an Affordable Housing Program (AHP) to be used to subsidize the
cost of affordable homeownership and rental housing. The
Federal Housing Finance Board regulates the AHP and ensures that the AHP fulfills its mission.
Note.—Financial data presented for future years is based on the 2006 program level
and is not an estimate of future earnings of the Federal Home Loan Banks.

This appropriation supports a Federal-State partnership to
invest in sustainable economic development in the 410-county
Appalachian Region. The Appalachian Regional Commission
is comprised of 13 members representing the States in the
region and a Federal Co-Chairman. The Federal Co-Chairman
represents the Federal Government on the Commission and
leads in the coordination of programs serving the Appalachian
Region across the Federal Government.
Appalachian Development Highway System.—The Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS), including
local access roads, is designed to improve the accessibility
of Appalachia and reduce highway transportation costs to and
within Appalachia. The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient,
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–
LU) authorized $470 million annually out of the Highway
Trust Fund for each of the years 2005 through 2009 for construction of the ADHS and local access road projects. The
ARC exercises policy and programmatic control over these
funds.
Area development and technical assistance program.—Area
development funds are allocated by formula to the 13 member
States for projects that promote sustainable regional economic
development, with assistance targeted at the most distressed
and underdeveloped counties and areas.
Area development provides funds for projects that advance
the goals and objectives of ARC’s 2005–2010 strategic plan:
1) increasing Appalachian job opportunities and per capita
income, 2) improving employability through education and
health initiatives, 3) strengthening infrastructure, including
basic services like clean water, and 4) building the Appalachian Development Highway System. In 2008, the Commission will continue to focus on planning and coordinating regional investments and targeting resources to those communities with the greatest needs.
Local development districts program.—ARC’s 410 counties
are divided into 72 multi-county local development districts
(LDDs) that assist local governments in identifying needs and
developing strategies in a regional context to promote sustainable community and economic development.
Salaries and expenses.—In this Federal-State partnership,
the Federal Government contributes half of the expenses of
a professional staff which works with the states and the Federal staff in operating the program. The other half of these
non-Federal employee expenses are provided by member
States.
Performance.—In its PART assessment, the Appalachian
Regional Commission received an Adequate rating and has
continued to make progress in developing outcome-based performance measures. In 2008, ARC will implement a challenge
grant program. Grants will be awarded to communities that
develop innovative and entrepreneurial approaches to economic development or that implement regional or multi-jurisdictional strategies. Performance measures will track the
progress of each community.

The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance
Board (Access Board) was established by section 502 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Access Board is responsible
for developing guidelines under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Architectural Barriers Act, and the Telecommunications Act. These guidelines ensure that buildings
and facilities, transportation vehicles, and telecommunications
equipment covered by these laws are readily accessible to

responsible for developing standards under section 508 of the
Rehabilitation Act for accessible electronic and information
technology used by Federal agencies. In addition, the Access
Board enforces the Architectural Barriers Act, and provides
training and technical assistance on the guidelines and standards it develops.
The Board also has additional responsibilities under the

The Budget proposes $8.8 million for the U.S. Commission
on Civil Rights (USCCR). As a bi-partisan, independent agency, USCCR monitors and reports on the status of civil rights
in the nation. Through its national and regional offices,
USCCR: 1) investigates charges of citizens being deprived
of voting rights because of color, race, religion, sex, age, disability, or national origin; 2) collects and studies information
covering legal developments constituting a denial of equal
protection under the law or in the administration of justice;
3) monitors and appraises Federal laws, policies, and agencies
to assess their civil rights enforcement efforts; 4) serves as
a national clearinghouse for civil rights information; 5) prepares public service announcements and advertising campaigns to discourage discrimination and denials of equal projection of the laws; and 6) issues reports with findings and
recommendations to the President and Congress.

COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING
COMMISSION

The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind
or Severely Disabled (the Committee) administers the Ability
One Program (formerly known as the JWOD Program) under
the authority of the Javits-Wagner-O’Day Act of 1971, as
amended. The principal objective of the Program is to leverage
the purchasing power of the Federal Government to provide
employment opportunities for people who are blind or have
other severe disabilities. The Committee accomplishes its mission by first identifying Government procurement requirements that can create employment opportunities for individuals who are blind or have other severe disabilities. Following
opportunities for public comment and after due deliberation,
the Committee then places such products and service requirements on the Ability One Procurement List, thus requiring
Federal departments and agencies to procure the designated
products and services from a network of over 625 qualified
State and private nonprofit agencies (NPAs) employing people
who are blind or have other severe disabilities.
The long-term goal of the Ability One Program has been
and continues to be increasing job opportunities for people
who are blind or have other severe disabilities. In 2005, approximately 47,000 individuals who earned $392.7 million in
wages were employed through the Ability One Program. Because of their employment, these individuals have reduced
their dependence on Social Security, Food Stamps, Temporary
Assistance of Needy Families, and other public income transfer payments.
Because of changes in Federal procurement practices, the
focus of the Ability One Program has changed significantly
in the last decade. In an effort to become the preferred source

CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) administers the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936 (CEA), as
amended. CFTC furthers the economic utility of the futures
markets by encouraging efficiency, assuring integrity, and
protecting participants against abusive trade practices, fraud,
and deceit. CFTC performs daily surveillance of high-risk
market activity and fundamental economic market factors as
it systematically investigates the functioning of markets and
market users. CFTC’s oversight enables the markets to better
serve their designated functions of providing a price discovery
mechanism and CFTC constantly works to develop better
tools to assist in detecting and preventing price distortions.
CFTC also is responsible for detecting, investigating, and litigating violations of the CEA and CFTC regulations and monitors compliance activities of designated contract markets, registered commodities professionals, and self-regulatory organizations.
The Administration proposes increased resources for the
CFTC in 2008. These increased resources will ensure proper
oversight of the markets through the maintenance of adequate staffing levels, which generally have been held constant
for years in the face of substantial market growth—trading
volume has quadrupled over the past 12 years. The resources
will also allow the CFTC to build upon its knowledge of
the increasingly complex futures markets and improve its
ability to undertake enforcement actions against wrongdoers.
The CFTC must remain vigilant in its supervision of critical
areas such as energy and foreign currency exchange fraud,
and maintain expertise of the changing nature of traded products and evolving platforms on which they are traded.
The CFTC is the only Federal financial regulator that does
not derive its funding from the specialized entities it regulates, and since the CFTC’s programs provide clear benefits
to market participants it is appropriate for those participants
to at least partially offset or contribute toward the cost of
providing those programs. Legislation will be proposed to collect a new transaction fee on commodity futures and option
contracts traded on approved exchanges. The fees would be
set at a level to equal the costs to the taxpayer of funding
CFTC’s Market Oversight and Clearing & Intermediary Oversight functions. Such fees are already imposed on futures
exchanges to fund the programs of the futures industry’s selfregulatory organization, and will help to offset the deficit
impact of general taxpayer funding of the CFTC’s activities.

The Corporation for National and Community Service works
with non-profit organizations, faith-based groups, schools, and
other civic organizations to engage Americans of all ages and
backgrounds in community-based service which addresses the
nation’s educational, human, public safety, and environmental
needs. In doing so, the Corporation fosters civic responsibility,
strengthens the ties that bind us together as a people, and
provides educational opportunity for those who make a substantial commitment to service.
The 2008 Budget combines the Domestic Volunteer Service
Program account with the National and Community Service
Programs account, under the latter heading, for national service programs authorized respectively under the National and
Community Service Act and the Domestic Volunteer Service
Act. These programs include:
Learn and Serve America.—Provides grants to schools, higher education institutions, and after-school programs to integrate service into their curricula. Service-learning aims to
promote civic participation and volunteering from an early
age.
AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps.—A residential national service program for people ages 14–24. The
Budget funds 1,200 AmeriCorps*NCCC members that will
deploy to respond to disasters.
AmeriCorps State and National grants.—With funds both
channeled through states and provided directly to community
based organizations, AmeriCorps grants enable communities
to recruit, train and place AmeriCorps members to meet critical community needs in education, public safety, health, and
the environment. The Budget funds 66,900 AmeriCorps State
and National members.
AmeriCorps Volunteers in Service to America.—The
AmeriCorps*VISTA program provides full-time members to
community organizations and public agencies working to resolve local poverty-related problems in areas such as illiteracy, hunger, unemployment, substance abuse, homelessness,
and lack of adequate health support. The Budget request
funds 6,900 AmeriCorps*VISTA members.
AmeriCorps National Service Trust.—The Trust serves as
a secure repository for educational awards set aside for eligible participants in National Service programs. The 2008
Budget meets the President’s goal of funding 75,000
AmeriCorps members and is based on the accounting method-

1043

ology specified in the Strengthen AmeriCorps Program Act
of 2003.
State service commission administrative grants.—These formula grants support the operations of state service commissions, through which the Corporation funds roughly threequarters of AmeriCorps*State and National programs. Commissions are responsible for monitoring sub-grantees and ensuring that they comply with federal requirements and performance expectations. These grants must be matched by the
commissions.
Senior Corps.—These programs provide opportunities for
people aged 55 and over, including those who are low-income,
to volunteer their services to the community in many socially
useful activities including helping children learn to read and
working with the emotionally disturbed, the mentally retarded, and physically disabled, as well as the isolated and
infirm elderly. The Budget request supports over 500,000 senior volunteers.
Innovation, demonstration, and assistance.—This activity
supports innovative and demonstration service programs that
may not be eligible under other subtitles of the national service laws, disabled program participants who need special accommodation, and other activities that help build an ethic
of service among Americans of all ages and backgrounds.
Points of Light Foundation.—A grant will be provided to
this non-government, nonprofit 501(c)(3) entity to enable it
to increase opportunities for Americans to participate in voluntary activities.
Evaluation.—This activity supports performance measurement and studies of program impact. The Budget request
funds key recurring data collection activities: performance
benchmarking surveys for each major program, a longitudinal
study of the impact of AmeriCorps service on members, and
a Current Population Survey supplement on volunteering in
America.

General programming.—The Corporation for Public Broadcasting provides grants to qualified public television and radio
stations to be used at their discretion for purposes related
to program production or acquisition and general operations.
The Corporation also supports the production and acquisition
of radio and television programs for national distribution. In
addition, the Corporation assists in the financing of several
system-wide activities, including national satellite interconnection services and the payment of music royalty fees,
and provides limited technical assistance, research, and planning services to improve system-wide capacity and performance. By custom, the Corporation has received an advance
appropriation. For 2008, appropriations of $400 million were
enacted in 2006, from which the Administration proposes to
cancel $50 million.
The Administration proposes that the Corporation receive
appropriations like other programs that receive Federal assistance. Therefore, a 2009 funding request for the Corporation will be proposed in the 2009 President’s Budget.
To ensure Federal funding provides the greatest benefit,
CPB, in consultation with public broadcasting licensees, will
continue to explore more effective means for targeting resources to areas of most need.
Digital Transition.— The Budget proposes that in 2008,
up to $30.6 million from within the Corporation’s already
enacted 2008 funding is made available for digital conversion
grants to public television broadcasters. Public television
broadcasting stations have mostly completed activities necessary to fulfill Federal Communications Commission mandates to convert to digital technology. These dollars are intended to support the necessary equipment that will allow
stations to complete their conversions to digital broadcasting
as required by law.
Interconnection.—The Corporation, in an agreement with
National Public Radio, will begin to replace the public radio
interconnection system, which is the major national distribution network for public broadcasting stations. The Budget
proposes that up to $26.75 million in funding is made available from within the 2008 appropriation to begin the replacement and upgrade of the interconnection system.

The National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government
Improvement Act established the Court Services and Offender
Supervision Agency (CSOSA) for the District of Columbia as
an independent Federal agency, which has assumed the District of Columbia (D.C.) pretrial services, adult probation, and
parole supervision functions. The mission of CSOSA is to
increase public safety, prevent crime, reduce recidivism and
support the fair administration of justice in close collaboration
with the community.
The CSOSA appropriation supports the Community Supervision Program and the Pretrial Services Agency.
Community Supervision Program.—This activity provides
supervision in the community of adult offenders on probation,
parole or supervised release, consistent with a crime prevention strategy that integrates successful re-entry into the community, close supervision, routine drug testing, treatment,
and graduated sanctions. The activity also develops and provides probation and parole authorities with timely and useful
information for decision-making. The Budget proposes additional resources to open all units of the Re-Entry and Sanctions Center.
Pretrial Services Agency.—This activity assists the trial and
appellate levels of both the Federal and local courts in determining eligibility for pretrial release by providing background
information on all arrestees. The background information is
used to establish release conditions to ensure defendants will
return to court and will not be a danger to the community
while on pretrial release. The Pretrial Services Agency is
further responsible for supervising conditions of release, conducting drug testing, administering graduated sanctions, referring defendants to treatment and other social services, and
reporting on defendants’ compliance to the courts. The Budget
proposes additional resources to reduce the ratio of pre-trial
supervisors to defendants from approximately 124:1 to 75:1,
slightly above the national average.

The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, authorized
by Public Law 100–456, is responsible for evaluating the content and implementation of the standards relating to the design, construction, operation, and decommissioning of defense
nuclear facilities of the Department of Energy (DOE) (as defined in Public Law 100–456). The Board also reviews the
design of new DOE defense nuclear facilities and periodically
reviews and monitors construction of such facilities to ensure
adequate protection of public and worker health and safety.
In addition, the National Defense Authorization Act for 1992
and 1993 (Public Law 102–190) expanded the Board’s jurisdiction to include facilities and activities involved with the assembly, disassembly, and testing of nuclear weapons. The
Board is also responsible for investigating any event or practice at a defense nuclear facility which has or may adversely
affect public health and safety. The Board makes specific
recommendations to the Secretary of Energy on measures
that should be adopted to ensure that both public and employee health and safety are adequately protected.

The Delta Regional Authority (DRA), authorized by P.L.
106–554, was established to assist the eight-state, 240-county
Mississippi Delta region in obtaining the transportation and
basic public infrastructure, skills training, and opportunities
for economic development essential to strong local economies.
The DRA was created as a Federal-State partnership. DRA
will focus on: basic public infrastructure in distressed counties
and isolated areas of distress; transportation infrastructure
facilitating the economic development of the region; business
development; and job training or employment-related education. In its PART assessment, the Delta Regional Authority
was rated as Results Not Demonstrated, due to its lack of
annual performance measures and independent program evaluations. DRA has begun to collect actual results for mature
projects, and will work to develop outcome-based performance
measures based on these data. The Authority will continue
to focus on multi-state planning and facilitation of regional
investments.

The Denali Commission was established by the Denali Commission Act of 1998 (P.L. 105–277) to promote sustainable
rural infrastructure development, to provide job training and
other economic development services in rural communities
with a focus on distressed communities, and to deliver services in the most cost-effective manner practicable in the State
of Alaska. The Denali Commission is composed of seven members with a Federal Co-Chair. The Commission is required
to develop an annual work plan that ensures coordination
of State and Federal agencies for cost-shared and sustainable
utilities and infrastructure related projects that promote
health, safety, and economic self-sufficiency throughout rural
Alaska. The Commission continues to work with other Federal
agencies to coordinate resources for rural Alaska.
A PART assessment of the Denali Commission rated it Adequate, finding that while the Commission has annual performance measures, it is difficult to determine the impact
the Commission’s investments have. Measuring impact remains a challenge due to the many Federal programs that
provide assistance in the region, and the small share of total
Federal investment that the Commission represents. Therefore, in 2006, the Commission procured the services of an
independent evaluation contractor to perform a program eval-

The Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations Act of 1999 (P.L. 105–277) established the
annual transfer of interest from the Oil Spill Liability Trust
Fund to the Denali Commission. The Denali Commission, in
consultation with the Coast Guard, developed a program in
which these funds are to be used to repair or replace bulk
fuel storage tanks in Alaska which are not in compliance
with Federal law, including the Oil Pollution Act of 1990,
or State law.

Under the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997, the Federal Government is
required to finance the District of Columbia Courts. This Federal payment to the District of Columbia Courts funds the
operations of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Superior Court, the Court System, and the Capital Improvement
Program. Capital improvements include establishing a permanent home for the D.C. Family Court, a complete renovation
of the historic Old Courthouse, as well as design and renovation work on several other buildings in Judiciary Square.
The 2008 Budget provides resources to fully fund the
Courts’ personal services budget, allowing the Courts to fill
all authorized positions and eliminate vacancies in missioncritical positions. The 2008 Budget also provides resources
to the Capital Improvement Program to complete the renovation of the Old Courthouse, and to provide much needed upgrades to plumbing and electrical systems.
By law, the annual budget includes estimates of the expenditures for the operations of the District of Columbia Courts
prepared by the Joint Committee on Judicial Administration
in the District of Columbia and the President’s recommendation for funding District Courts operations. The President’s
recommended level of $214 million includes: $161 million for
District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Superior Court of the
District of Columbia, and the District of Columbia Court System operations; and $53 million for capital improvements for
District courthouse facilities. Under a separate transmittal
to the Congress, the District Courts are requesting $348 million; $168 million for operations and $180 million for capital
improvements.

The 1990 District of Columbia Appropriations Act established a system ‘‘to improve the means by which the District
of Columbia (now the D.C. Water and Sewer Authority,

GENERAL PROVISIONS

OTHER INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

DCWASA) is paid for water and sanitary sewer services furnished to the Government of the United States or any department, agency, or independent establishment thereof.’’ Each
agency is to pay 25 percent of its estimated yearly bill each
quarter by depositing its payment into this account. If an
agency does not submit payment on time, Treasury is directed
to pay the Government-wide bill, making up the difference
from a permanent, indefinite appropriation account, which
is then to be reimbursed by the appropriate agencies.

incurred by the Secretary of the Treasury in carrying out
his responsibilities regarding such retirement benefits. The
District of Columbia Retirement Protection Improvement Act
of 2004 (enacted December 23, 2004) amended the Act to
terminate the Trust Fund and establish the District of Columbia Federal Pension Fund. The obligations and assets of the
Trust Fund transferred to the District of Columbia Federal
Pension Fund as of October 1, 2004. Prior to the transfer,
the Trust Fund consisted of: the proceeds of accumulated
pension assets transferred from the District of Columbia during 1999 and liquidated, pursuant to the Act; and any income
earned from the investment of the assets in public debt securities.

shall apply with respect to the compensation of District of Columbia
employees. For pay purposes, employees of the District of Columbia
government shall not be subject to the provisions of title 5, United
States Code.
SEC. 108. No later than 30 days after the end of the first quarter

proficient and effective organization are designed to support
its mission-related work. In addition, EEOC will continue to
implement the President’s management reforms by streamlining decision layers and making the agency more accessible
and responsive to citizens’ needs.
EEOC’s enforcement responsibilities are predominately in
two areas—the private sector and the Federal sector. The
State and Local Program is accounted separately under this
objective, within the private sector area.
Private sector: In the private sector, EEOC addresses equal
employment opportunity in several ways. The agency investigates charges alleging employment discrimination; makes
findings on the allegations; resolves charges through mediation, negotiated settlement or conciliation; and litigates cases
of employment discrimination by enforcing compliance with
Title VII, the Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the
Civil Rights Act of 1991. The agency engages in proactive
efforts to prevent or remove discriminatory barriers to employment opportunities, and it conducts outreach events and
provides education and technical assistance to individuals,
employers and stakeholder groups.

EEOC’s outreach, education and technical assistance activities are under the Strategic Objective Justice and Opportunity
and Inclusive Workplace. Staff from most of the agency’s programs are involved in these efforts, and many activities are
done in partnership with State and local program FEPAs.
In addition, EEOC’s Revolving Fund, which accompanies this
account in the budget, supports these activities.
Outreach, education, and technical assistance: This program
is intended to encourage and facilitate voluntary compliance
with the anti-discrimination laws by employers and employer
groups in the private and Federal sectors, and to increase
knowledge about individual rights under the anti-discrimination laws among employers, employee groups and the public.
To support the President’s New Freedom Initiative, the Budget also provides funding for a review of States’ strategies
for removing employment barriers faced by people with disabilities.

that exporters or private institutions are unwilling or unable
to undertake; overcome maturity and other limitations in private sector export financing; assist U.S. exporters to meet
officially sponsored foreign export credit competition; and provide leadership and guidance in export financing to the U.S.
exporting and banking communities and to foreign borrowers.
The Bank provides its export credit support through direct
loan, loan guarantee, and insurance programs. The Bank is
actively assisting small- and medium-sized businesses.
The FY 2008 Budget estimates that the Bank’s export credit
support will total $18.7 billion, and will be funded entirely
by receipts collected from the Bank’s customers. The Bank
estimates it will collect $146 million in FY 2008 in receipts
in excess of expected losses on transactions authorized in
FY 2008 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 in
an amount not to exceed $68 million; and (2) to cover administrative expenses in an amount not to exceed $78 million,
of which $13.2 million are budgeted for technology expenses.
If the Bank collects more than $146 million in FY 2008,
up to $50 million of the excess will be made available in
FY 2009; any excess above $50 million will be deposited in
the General Fund of the Treasury, consistent with practice
for FY 2007 and previous years.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for Ex-Im Bank, the subsidy costs associated with direct loans and direct grants obligated, and loan
guarantees and insurance committed in 1992 and beyond,
as well as administrative expenses. The subsidy amounts are
estimated on a present value basis; administrative expenses
are estimated on a cash basis.

Operating results and financial condition.—The Ex-Im
Bank is a wholly-owned Government corporation. Capital
stock of $1 billion was purchased by the U.S. Treasury.
The Ex-Im Bank has a reserve for possible credit losses,
which provides for the risk of loss inherent in the lending
process. This reserve is a general reserve, available to absorb
credit losses related to the total loan portfolio. The reserve
is increased by provisions charged to expenses and decreased
by charge-offs, net of recoveries.
The provision for possible credit losses is based on the
Bank’s evaluation of the adequacy of the reserve, taking into
consideration a variety of factors, including repayment status
of loans, future risk factors, the relationship of the reserve
to the portfolio, and worldwide economic conditions. Providing
for such possible losses does not imply that any loans will
be written off. It simply recognizes the fact that the prospects
for collection of some of the Bank’s loans are impaired. It

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) is an independent
Federal agency that examines and regulates the Farm Credit
System (System) for safety and soundness. The System is
a cooperative agricultural credit system of farm credit banks
and associations that lends to farmers, ranchers, and their
cooperatives; farm related businesses; and rural homeowners.
Since 1990, the FCA also performs annual examinations of
the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. In addition,
FCA annually examines The National Consumer Cooperative
Bank.
As of October 1, 2006, the System was composed of four
Farm Credit Banks, one Agricultural Credit Bank, 95 associations, five service corporations, the Federal Farm Credit
Banks Funding Corporation, the Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation, and the Federal Agricultural
Mortgage Corporation.
Assessments based upon estimated administrative expenses
are collected from institutions in the System, including the

The Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (Corporation) was established to ensure the timely payment of principal and interest on System debt obligations purchased by
investors. The Corporation is managed by a three member
Board of Directors that consists of the same members as
the Farm Credit Administration Board of Directors. The Corporation derives its revenues from insurance premiums collected from insured System banks and from the investment
income earned on its investment portfolio. Insurance premiums are assessed on System banks based on the level of
accruing and non-accruing loans outstanding in each bank
and its affiliated associations’ loan portfolio. Congress established a secure base amount of 2 percent of outstanding System obligations, or such other amounts determined by its
Board of Directors to be actuarially sound to maintain the
Insurance Fund. The Insurance Fund was below the secure
base amount at September 30, 2006 at 1.78%. For 2006, the
Corporation is assessing insurance premiums at 15 basis
points on accrual loans and 25 basis points on non-accrual
loans. In January 2007, the Corporation’s Board will determine insurance premium rates for 2007.
The Insurance Fund is available for payment on System
obligations if an insured System bank defaults on its primary
liability. The Insurance Fund is also available to ensure the
timely retirement of certain eligible borrower stock, and to
pay the operating costs of the Corporation. The Corporation
can exercise its authority to make loans, purchase System
bank assets or obligations, provide other financial assistance
and otherwise act to reduce its exposure to losses.
The Corporation has the authority to make refunds of excess Insurance Fund balances. No refunds are anticipated
in 2007.

OTHER INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

Under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, telecommunications carriers that provide interstate and international telecommunications services are required to contribute funds for
the preservation and advancement of universal service. The
contributions provided, in turn, by each carrier’s subscribers,
are used to provide services eligible for universal service support as prescribed by the FCC. Eligible telecommunications
carriers receive support from the universal service funds if
they (1) provide service to high-cost areas, (2) provide eligible
services at a discount to schools, libraries or rural health
care providers, or (3) provide subsidized service or subsidized
telephone installation to low-income consumers. Interest income on these funds is utilized to reduce carrier contributions.
Administrative costs of the program are provided from carrier
contributions.
Program Assessment Rating Tool analyses conducted in
2005 and 2006 revealed that universal service support mechanisms lacked adequate performance measures and therefore
could not demonstrate results. The FCC is examining program
policies, performance measures, and administrative effectiveness in order to ensure that the programs use resources efficiently and provide meaningful results.
The Administration supports Universal Service Fund reforms, such as the use of reverse auctions to allocate High
Cost subsidies, that will help ensure subsidies are well-targeted, demonstrate results, and minimize the burden to ratepayers. In addition, the Administration will pursue means
to strengthen USF financial and program management, to
minimize waste, fraud, and abuse. The programs can be managed successfully consistent with standard financial controls
such as the Anti-Deficiency Act, which protect program beneficiaries and ratepayers.

This program provided direct loans for the purpose of purchasing spectrum licenses at the Federal Communications
Commission’s auctions. The licenses were purchased on an
installment basis, which constitutes an extension of credit.
The first year of activity for this program was 1996.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond
(including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees
that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year),
as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis and
administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis. The
FCC no longer offers credit terms on purchases through spectrum auctions. Program activity relates to maintenance and
close-out of existing loans.

To continue to promote efficient spectrum use, the Administration proposes legislation to provide the Federal Communications Commission with new authority to use other economic mechanisms, such as fees, as a spectrum management
tool. The Commission would be authorized to set user fees
on unauctioned spectrum licenses based on public-interest and
spectrum-management principles. Fees would be phased in
over time as part of an ongoing rulemaking process to determine the appropriate application and level for fees. Fee collections are estimated to begin in 2008, and total $3.6 billion
over ten years.

The Administration proposes legislation to extend indefinitely the authority of the Federal Communications Commission to auction spectrum licenses, which expires on September
30, 2011.
f

DOMESTIC SATELLITE SERVICE SPECTRUM LICENSE AUCTIONS

The Administration proposes legislation to ensure that spectrum licenses for predominantly domestic satellite services
are assigned efficiently and effectively through competitive
bidding. Services such as Direct Broadcast Satellite and Satellite Digital Audio Radio Services were assigned by auction
prior to a 2005 court decision that questioned this practice
on technical grounds. By clarifying through legislation that
auctions of licenses for these domestic satellite services are
authorized, prior policy of the Federal Communications Commission will be restored. Auction receipts associated with this
clarification are estimated to begin in 2008, and total $690
million over ten years.
f

PROSPECTIVE ANCILLARY TERRESTRIAL COMPONENT SPECTRUM
LICENSE AUCTIONS

The Administration proposes legislation to bring greater
competition to the assignment of the land-based component
of hybrid terrestrial-satellite communications networks, such
as the Ancillary Terrestrial Component to Mobile Satellite
Services, subject to technical feasibility as determined by the
Federal Communications Commission. The use of auctions
to assign the land-based component for any future satellite
licenses for these hybrid networks will help to ensure that
the radio spectrum is assigned efficiently and effectively, and
is put to its most highly valued use. Auction receipts associated with this policy are estimated to begin in 2008, and
total $1.5 billion over ten years.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was created by the Banking Act of 1933 to provide protection for
bank depositors and to foster sound banking practices.
The Financial Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 established the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF),
the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC) Resolution Fund (FRF). Under the Deposit Insurance Reform Act
of 2005, the BIF and SAIF were merged into a new Deposit
Insurance Fund (DIF) during 2006. Individual deposits are
currently insured up to $100,000. Under the Deposit Insurance Reform Act, the deposit insurance ceiling for retirement
accounts was increased to $250,000. In addition, beginning
in 2011, 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 part of its efforts to implement the new legislation, in November 2006 the FDIC Board
approved a new system of risk-based premiums to be charged
to depository institutions, and adopted a rate schedule intended to return the Deposit Insurance Fund to a Designated
Reserve Ratio (the ratio of fund equity to insured deposits)
of 1.25 percent.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act of 1991 generally requires FDIC to use the least costly
method to resolve failed banks, and mandates that FDIC take
prompt corrective action against under-capitalized financial
institutions. In order to accomplish its varied functions to
protect depositors, FDIC is authorized to promulgate and enforce rules and regulations relating to the supervision of insured institutions and to perform other regulatory and supervisory duties consistent with its responsibilities as an insurer.

The primary purpose of the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF)
is to insure deposits and protect the depositors of failed institutions. Under the Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005,
the FDIC’s Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) and its Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) were merged into the new
Deposit Insurance Fund on March 31, 2006. Through the
DIF, the FDIC will resolve and recover assets from failed
institutions. The FDIC is authorized to charge risk-based premiums on member institutions to manage fund reserves,
which must be a designated percent of total insured deposits—the reserve ratio—as set by the FDIC at the beginning
of each year. The FDIC must set the designated reserve ratio
between 1.15 and 1.50 percent of estimated insured deposits
each year. If the reserve ratio is higher than 1.50 percent,
the FDIC must return the amount in the fund in excess
of that which is needed to maintain the 1.50 percent ratio
to DIF institutions based on each institution’s previously-paid
premiums and other factors. If the ratio is between 1.35 and
1.50 percent, the FDIC must rebate half of the amount in
the fund in excess of that which is needed to maintain the
1.35 percent ratio. If the ratio is projected to fall below 1.15
percent, the FDIC must develop a five-year restoration plan
to ensure the ratio is at or above the minimum ratio level.
Under the Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, FDIC is
also required to provide a one-time $4.7 billion assessment
credit toward the new risk-based insurance premiums, which

will be distributed among depository institutions that paid
premiums prior to 1997.
In November 2006, the FDIC Board issued a final rule
establishing 1.25 percent as its official target for the DIF
reserve ratio. At the end of September 2006, the DIF reserve
ratio stood at 1.22 percent. In November 2006, the FDIC
Board also voted to establish a new set of risk-based premiums for the industry. The new premiums range from a
minimum of five basis points (five cents for every $100 in
assessable deposits) up to as high as 43 basis points based
on the assessed risk of an institution. Taking the redemption
of credits into consideration, the FDIC is expected to collect
approximately $1.5 billion in new revenue from these premiums during 2007 and 2008 combined.

The FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF) is the successor to
FSLIC assets and liabilities from thrift resolutions prior to
August 1989. Beginning in August 1989, the RTC assumed
responsibility for the FSLIC’s unresolved cases. On December
31, 1995, the RTC was terminated and its assets and liabilities were transferred to FRF.
Funds for FRF operations have come from: income earned
on its assets; liquidation proceeds from receiverships; the proceeds of the sale of bonds by the Financing Corporation; and,
a portion of insurance premiums paid by SAIF members prior
to 1993. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act authorizes appropriations to make up for
any shortfall. The FRF will terminate upon the disposition
of all its assets, and any net proceeds will be paid to the
Treasury. Net proceeds from the former RTC will be paid
to the Resolution Funding Corporation.

FDIC’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) is an independent
unit within FDIC that conducts audits and investigations of
corporate activities and assists FDIC in preventing and detecting fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. The OIG
was established by the FDIC Board of Directors pursuant
to the Inspector General Act amendments of 1988 (Public
Law 100–504). The Resolution Trust Corporation Completion
Act, enacted December 17, 1993, provided that the FDIC Inspector General be appointed by the President and confirmed
by the Senate. The Completion Act thus added FDIC to the
establishments whose OIGs have separate appropriation accounts under Section 1105(a) of Title 31, United States Code.
The OIG’s appropriations are derived from the DIF and the
FRF.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008

HIGH INTENSITY DRUG TRAFFICKING AREAS PROGRAM—Continued
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)—Continued

Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006, to provide
assistance to Federal, State and local law enforcement entities
operating in those areas most adversely affected by drug trafficking.
The HIDTA program provides resources to Federal, State,
and local agencies in each HIDTA region to carry out activities that address the specific drug threats of that region.
A central feature of the HIDTA program is the discretion
granted to HIDTA Executive Boards to design and carry out
activities that reflect the specific drug trafficking threats
found in each HIDTA region. This discretion ensures that
each HIDTA Executive Board can tailor its strategy and initiatives closely to local conditions and can respond quickly
to changes in those conditions. Among the types of activities
funded by the HIDTA program are: drug enforcement task
forces comprised of multiple Federal, State, and local agencies
designed to dismantle and disrupt drug trafficking organizations (DTOs); multi-agency intelligence centers that provide
drug intelligence to HIDTA initiatives and participating agencies; initiatives to establish or improve interoperability of
communications and information systems between and among
law enforcement agencies; and investments in technology infrastructure.

Pursuant to the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006, the Counterdrug Technology Assessment Center serves as the central counterdrug research
and development organization for the United States Government.
The Center currently operates two programs—a Research
and Development program (R&D) and a Technology Transfer
program (TTP):
—The R&D program identifies law enforcement’s scientific
and technological needs, coordinates Federal counterdrug
R&D initiatives, and supports improvements to counterdrug
capabilities that transcend the need of any single Federal
agency.
—The TTP provides state-of-the-art, affordable, easily integrated and maintainable tools to enhance the capabilities of
State and local law enforcement agencies for counterdrug missions.
Beginning in 2008, all funding will support research
projects in the R&D program.

The Federal Election Commission (the Commission) administers the disclosure of campaign finance information, enforces
limitations on contributions and expenditures, supervises the
public funding of Presidential elections, and performs other
tasks related to Federal elections.
The Commission is authorized to submit, concurrently,
budget estimates to the President and the Congress. The
Commission endorses the President’s 2008 request.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (Public Law 101–73) established the Appraisal Subcommittee of the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council. Subsequent legislation (Public Law
101–235) authorized the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development to designate a member of the
Appraisal Subcommittee.
The Subcommittee is charged with ensuring that real estate
appraisals used in federally-related transactions are performed in accordance with uniform standards by appraisers
certified and licensed by the States. Its responsibilities include: (1) monitoring the requirements established by the
States for the certification and licensing of appraisers; (2)
monitoring the requirements established by the Federal financial institutions’ regulatory agencies regarding appraisal
standards; (3) monitoring and reviewing the practices, procedures, activities, and organization of the Appraisal Foundation; and, (4) maintaining a national registry of licensed and
certified appraisers.

The Budget proposes a new strengthened regulator for the
housing Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) to promote
a strong, resilient financial system and increased opportunities for affordable homeownership. (See the Credit and Insurance chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume of the
Budget document for more discussion.)
Upon enactment of this proposal, it is expected that all
resources available to the Office of Federal Housing Enter-

prise Oversight (OFHEO) and the Federal Housing Finance
Board would be transferred to the Federal Housing Enterprise
Regulator.
The administration supports direct funding of these activities with mandatory assessments on the housing GSEs, at
a level that will be developed by the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulator upon its creation. The resource level presented in 2008 is an estimate based on the estimated activities of OFHEO and the Federal Housing Finance Board for
2007.

The Federal Housing Finance Board (Finance Board) is the
safety and soundness regulator for the Federal Home Loan
Bank System, a Government-sponsored enterprise (GSE). The
Finance Board was established by the Financial Institutions
Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 which amended the Federal Home Loan Bank Act. The duties of the Finance Board are: (1) to ensure that the twelve Federal Home
Loan Banks (Banks) operate in a safe and sound manner;
(2) to supervise the Banks; (3) to ensure that the Banks
carry out their housing finance mission; and, (4) to ensure
the Banks remain adequately capitalized and able to raise
funds in the capital markets. The Finance Board succeeded
the former Federal Home Loan Bank Board with respect to
the Banks. The Finance Board funds its activities through
mandatory assessments on the Federal Home Loan Banks.
The Budget proposes a new strengthened housing GSE regulator as an independent agency. All Finance Board resources
would be transferred to it. The Administration supports continued direct funding of these activities with mandatory assessments on the Federal Home Loan Banks.

EXPENSES

For necessary expenses to carry out functions of the Federal Labor
Relations Authority, pursuant to Reorganization Plan Numbered 2
of 1978, and the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, including services
authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3109, and including hire of experts and consultants, hire of passenger motor vehicles, and rental of conference
rooms in the District of Columbia and elsewhere, $23,718,000: Provided, That public members of the Federal Service Impasses Panel
may be paid travel expenses and per diem in lieu of subsistence
as authorized by law (5 U.S.C. 5703) for persons employed intermittently in the Government service, and compensation as authorized
by 5 U.S.C. 3109: Provided further, That notwithstanding 31 U.S.C.
3302, funds received from fees charged to non-Federal participants

The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) is an independent administrative Federal agency created by Title VII
of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (the Statute) with
a mission to carry out five statutory responsibilities: (1) determining the appropriateness of units for Labor organization
representation; (2) resolving complaints of unfair labor practices; (3) adjudicating exceptions to arbitrator’s awards; (4)
adjudicating legal issues relating to duty to bargain; and (5)
resolving impasses during negotiations. All work throughout
the agency is undertaken to support a single program—to
administer and enforce the Statute by determining the respective rights of employees, agencies, and labor organizations
in their relations with one another.
FLRA’s authority is divided by law and by delegation
among a three-member Authority and an Office of General
Counsel, appointed by the President and subject to Senate
confirmation; and the Federal Service Impasses Panel, which
consists of seven part-time members appointed by the President.
FLRA does not initiate cases. Proceedings before FLRA
originate from filings arising through the actions of Federal
employees, Federal agencies, or Federal labor organizations.
Nationwide, FLRA includes seven Regional Offices, two satellite offices, and a Headquarters site in Washington, D.C.
FLRA regional workload declined 32% between 2001 and
2004. Department of Defense and Department of Homeland
Security personnel system reforms may increase this trend.
Authority.—The Authority adjudicates appeals filed by either a Federal agency or Federal labor organization on negotiability issues; exceptions to arbitration awards; appropriate
units for the purposes of exclusive recognition; eligibility of
labor organizations for national consultation rights; and unfair labor practice complaints.

FEDERAL MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION SERVICE

OTHER INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

Office of the General Counsel.—The General Counsel investigates allegations of unfair labor practices and processes all

The Federal Maritime Commission (the Commission) regulates the international waterborne commerce of the United
States. In addition, the Commission has responsibility for:
licensing and bonding ocean transportation intermediaries
and assuring that vessel owners or operators establish financial responsibility to pay judgments for death or injury to
passengers, or nonperformance of a cruise, on voyages from
U.S. ports. Major program areas for 2008 are: carrying out
investigations of foreign trade practices under the Foreign
Shipping Practices Act; maintaining equitable trading conditions in U.S. ocean commerce; facilitating compliance with
applicable shipping statutes through outreach and oversight;
assisting in the resolution of disputes; and, reviewing ocean
carrier operational and pricing agreements to guard against
excessively anticompetitive effects.

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS or
the Service) provides assistance to parties in labor disputes
in industries affecting commerce through conciliation and mediation.
Dispute mediation.—The Service assists labor and management in the mediation and prevention of disputes, other than
those involving rail and air transportation, whenever such
disputes threaten to cause a substantial interruption of interstate commerce or a major impairment to the national defense. The Service also makes mediation and conciliation services available to Federal agencies and organizations representing Federal employees in the resolution of negotiation

Management and administrative support.—This activity
provides for overall management and administration, policy
planning, research and evaluation, and employee development.
Labor-management cooperation project.—The Labor Management Cooperation Act of 1978 (29 U.S.C. 175a) authorizes
the Service to carry out this program of contracts and grants
to support the establishment and operation of plant, area,
and industry labor-management committees. The 2008 Budget
eliminates funding for these grants, and focuses FMCS on
its core activities of mediation and conciliation.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Projects.—The Service
assists other Federal agencies by providing mediation and
technical assistance in the area of ADR. The ADR cases reduce litigation costs and speed Federal processes. The FMCS
is funded for this work through interagency reimbursable
agreements.

THRIFT SAVINGS FUND

The Fund is composed of individual accounts maintained
by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board on behalf
of the individual Federal employee participants in the Fund.
All Federal civilian employees and members of the uniformed
services are eligible to contribute to the Fund. However, only
those civilian employees covered by the Federal Employees’
Retirement System (or equivalent retirement systems) and
a limited category of uniformed services personnel may have
their contributions matched by the employing agencies in accordance with the formulas prescribed by law. Employees are
entitled to select how contributions are distributed among
five investment funds: a U.S. Government securities investment fund; a fixed income index investment fund; a common
stock index investment fund; a small capitalization stock
index investment fund; and an international stock index investment fund. A series of five lifecycle funds was introduced
in August 2005. These funds are composed of varying allocations of the five core investment funds. The allocations are
based on the target maturity date of each fund.
Employee participation in the Fund is entirely voluntary,
so actual results could vary significantly from these estimates.
The estimated status of the Fund is shown below:

The goal of the maintaining competition mission is to prevent
anticompetitive mergers and other anticompetitive business
practices in the marketplace. The mission works to accomplish
this goal through four objectives: (1) identify anticompetitive
mergers and practices that cause the greatest consumer injury; (2) stop anticompetitive mergers and practices through
law enforcement; (3) prevent consumer injury through education; and (4) enhance consumer welfare through research,
reports, advocacy, and international cooperation and exchange.
The President’s 2008 Budget includes a program level for
the Commission of $240 million in 2008, allowing the Commission to maintain the current performance of its missions.
The 2008 requested program level will be fully funded by
$76 million from the General Fund of the U.S. Treasury and
offsetting collections from two sources: $145 million from fees
for Hart-Scott-Rodino Act premerger notification filings as authorized by 15 U.S.C. 18a and $19 million from fees sufficient
to implement and enforce the Telemarketing Sales Rule, promulgated under the Telephone Consumer Fraud and Abuse
Prevention Act (15 U.S.C. 6101 et seq., as amended).

The Federal Trade Commission (the Commission or FTC)
seeks to protect consumers and enhance competition by eliminating unfair or deceptive acts or practices in the marketing
of goods and services and by ensuring that consumer markets
function competitively. The FTC’s work is based on the belief
that competition among producers, and accurate information
in the hands of consumers, bring the best products and lowest
prices to the marketplace, spur innovation, and strengthen
the economy.
Consumer protection.—The Commission is charged with
eliminating unfair or deceptive acts or practices affecting commerce. The goal of the consumer protection mission is to
prevent fraud, deception, and unfair business practices in the
marketplace. The mission works to accomplish this goal
through four objectives: (1) identify fraud, deception, and unfair practices that cause the greatest consumer injury; (2)
stop fraud, deception, and unfair practices through law enforcement; (3) prevent consumer injury through education;
and (4) enhance consumer welfare through research, reports,
advocacy, and international cooperation and exchange.
Maintaining competition.—The Commission’s efforts are
aimed at fostering and preserving our competitive market.

The Intelligence Community Management Account (ICMA)
was established by Congressional direction to provide resources that directly support the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the Intelligence Community as a whole
in coordinating cross-program activities, improving budget
oversight, and strengthening Community Management. The
ICMA funds selected oversight elements including the National Intelligence Council, the Center for Security Evaluations, the National Counterintelligence Executive, and the National Drug Intelligence Center.
These oversight elements are the DNI’s principal source
of advice and assistance in planning and executing his intelligence community management responsibilities. These responsibilities include: developing the National Intelligence
Program budget; developing intelligence plans and requirements; and overseeing research and development activities.
The National Intelligence Council provides analytical support
to the DNI and national policy makers. The Center for Security Evaluation is responsible for evaluating and improving
security capabilities at United States embassies. The National
Counterintelligence Executive was established as the primary
mechanism to coordinate U.S. Government national-level
counterintelligence policy and activities.

The U.S. International Trade Commission is an independent, quasi-judicial Federal agency established by Congress with a wide range of trade-related mandates. The mission of the Commission is twofold: administer U.S. trade remedy laws in a fair and objective manner; and provide the
President, the United States Trade Representative, and the
Congress with independent, quality advice and information
on matters of international trade and competitiveness.
For 2008, the Commission requests an appropriation of
$67.1 million in order to fund existing mandated investigative
activity and related operations, a mandatory pay increase,
and information technology projects that are designed to improve electronic transaction capability, provide broader public

access to public data and other information, develop more
timely and accurate trade information for the trade community, and improve transparency in the Commission’s procedures and finances.
In 2003, the Commission issued the latest edition of its
Strategic Plan and is currently implementing the 2007 Performance Plan. For the purpose of developing the Strategic
Plan, the Commission’s functions were divided into five operations and, in order to facilitate the linkage of financial resources to the achievement of strategic goals, the budget justification is structured in the same manner. There are 11
strategies for the five operations. In FY 2006, the Commission
met or exceeded most of the performance goals.
As presented in the Commission’s Strategic Plan, there are
five major operations that serve the Commission’s external
customers:
Import Injury Investigations: These cover the conduct of
the Commission’s countervailing duty, antidumping, and sunset review investigations (collectively known as Title VII investigations), safeguards and market disruption investigations, and appellate litigation of challenges to the Commission’s determinations.
Intellectual Property-Based Import Investigations: These
cover the conduct of the Commission’s adjudicatory investigations (referred to as section 337 investigations) regarding alleged unfair methods of competition and unfair acts in the
importation of goods into the United States and most frequently involve allegations of patent or trademark infringement.
Industry and Economic Analysis: This covers all activities
related to the acquisition, maintenance, and application of
analytical and technical trade expertise. This expertise is applied through studies regarding the performance and global
competitiveness of various U.S. industries, the impact of
changes in trade policy on the overall economy or subsets
thereof, trade and competitiveness issues, and the probable
economic effect of tariff reductions and trade agreements.
Trade Information Services: This covers a wide range of
activities that provide Commission staff, the Congress, the
Executive Branch, and the general public with reliable and
timely trade information and analysis.
Trade Policy Support: This covers direct support activities
for policy makers such as the provision of technical expertise
and objective information on trade issues to congressional
committees and members’ offices, the United States Trade
Representative, interagency committees, and U.S. delegations
to multilateral organizations.
All of these operations define the output of the Commission,
emphasizing the benefits that the Commission provides in
facilitating an open trading system based on the rule of law
and economic self-interest. Within each operation, specific
critical success indicators and strategic goals are identified.
The Commission’s Strategic Plan, Performance Accountability
Report, and Budget Justification are available at http://
www.usitc.gov.
Pursuant to section 175 of the Trade Act of 1974, the budget estimates for the Commission are transmitted to Congress
without revision by the President.

MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD

Established by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, the
Board serves as guardian of the Federal Government’s meritbased system of employment, principally by hearing and deciding appeals from Federal employees of removals and other
major personnel actions. The Board also hears and decides
other types of civil service cases, reviews regulations of the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and conducts studies
of the merit systems. The intended results (outcomes) of the
Merit Systems Protection Board’s (MSPB) efforts are to assure
that 1) personnel actions taken involving employees are processed within the law, and 2) actions taken by OPM and other
agencies support and enhance Federal merit principles.
The number of decisions issued by the Board is shown
in the following table:

records of the Federal Government and the historical materials and Presidential records in Presidential Libraries; for
preparing related publications and exhibit programs; and for
conducting the appraisal of all Federal records. This program

facility are financed by $302 million of federally guaranteed
debt issued in 1989. Since 1994 and continuing in 2008, the
Archives seeks appropriations for the annual payments for
interest and redemption of debt to be made under the contract
for construction and related services.
NARA’s Records Services program received an ‘‘Adequate’’
PART performance rating. NARA has continued to refine performance measures related to records management and to
better engage Federal agencies on best records management
practices.

NARA is building an Electronic Records Archives (ERA)
that will both transition NARA into electronic management
of all government records and ensure the preservation of and
access to Government electronic records. Rapid obsolescence
of the digital formats in which electronic records are created
threatens to make them inaccessible within a few years even
if they are preserved intact. As NARA’s strategic response
to meeting these challenges, ERA will preserve electronic
records in a manner that enables requesters to access them
on computer systems now and in the future. The ERA system
will also, for the first time, automate basic functions in the
lifecycle management of Federal records, including records
scheduling and appraisal, and transfer of both electronic and
non-electronic records to the National Archives, Presidential
Libraries and Federal Records Centers.
Requested funding in 2008 will support continuation of
work on development of the first ERA increment, operation
and support for that increment, an increase in the number
of Federal agencies using the system, and the development
of the second ERA increment. The first increment will be
completed by addition of operational capability for automated
scheduling and appraisal of Federal records. The second increment will add the ability to search the content of electronic
records in the system and address additional requirements
related to preserving and managing classified electronic
records in the National Archives and the future George W.
Bush Presidential Library. A detailed plan of expenditure
for system acquisition in 2008 will be included with NARA’s
2008 budget justification.

This account provides for the repair, alteration, and improvement of Archives facilities and Presidential Libraries
nationwide, and provides adequate storage for holdings.

The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) is the
central planning agency for the Federal Government in the
National Capital Region. Through its planning initiatives and
review of development proposals, NCPC protects and enhances Washington, D.C.’s extraordinary natural and cultural
resources. NCPC helps to shape the future of the Nation’s
Capital by guiding Federal development, preserving the Capital City’s treasures, and mapping a strong course for its
future through study, analysis, and thoughtful advance planning. In 2008, NCPC will work with the District of Columbia
and its Federal and regional partners to promote development
plans that support the Federal interest and contribute to
the best urban design, transportation, and land-use scenarios
for the National Capital Region. NCPC will continue to ensure
that all Federal development in the region meets the highest
design standards; assist Federal agencies in preparing appropriate security measures, in keeping with the guidelines of
the National Capital Urban Design and Security Plan; review
Federal plans for capital improvements in the region; and
continue to develop long-range planning initiatives that ensure Washington remains a world-class Capital City.

The Commission has been responsible for developing plans
and recommendations for meeting the library and information
needs of the Nation, for coordinating Federal, State, and local
activities to meet these needs, for advising the President and
the Congress on implementation of national and international
library and information services policies. The Budget would
complete the transition of the Commission’s functions and
activities into the Institute of Museum and Library Services,
as described in the 2007 President’s Budget. The Administration believes that this move would streamline Federal library
policy efforts and strengthen our national research capacity
on domestic and international library trends.

Federal credit unions are privately owned, cooperative associations organized for the purpose of promoting thrift among
their members and creating a source of credit for provident
and productive purposes.
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA),
through its operating fund, conducts activities prescribed by
the Federal Credit Union Act of 1934, as amended, which
include: (a) chartering new Federal credit unions; (b) determining field of membership of Federal credit unions; (c) promulgating rules and regulations; (d) performing regulatory
and safety and soundness examinations; and (e) conducting
administrative activities of the share insurance fund.
The NCUA funds its activities through assessments levied
on all federally chartered credit unions, as well as funds
drawn from the balance of the National Credit Union Share
Insurance Fund as reimbursement for administrative activities.
In 2006, NCUA chartered seven new Federal credit unions
bringing the total number of Federal credit unions, as of
September 30, 2006, to 5,255 with total assets of over $389
billion. In 2005, a PART analysis of NCUA’s oversight of
Federal credit unions has shown that it contributes to the
safety and soundness of the credit union industry.

The National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund
(NCUSIF) provides insurance for deposits in member accounts
(shares) in Federal credit unions and State-chartered credit
unions that apply and qualify for insurance, as authorized
by Public Law 91–468.
Activities of the NCUSIF consist of: (a) providing member
account insurance to at least $100,000; (b) providing cash
and other assistance to insured credit unions in order to
avoid insolvency; and (c) providing for liquidation or other
disposition of the assets and liabilities of insolvent insured
credit unions. The NCUSIF reimburses the NCUA operating
fund for its share of the agency’s administrative costs. This
reimbursement percentage, which is reviewed and adjusted
annually, is 57 percent for 2006 and 53.3 percent for 2007.
As of September 30, 2006, 8,462 credit unions were insured
by the NCUSIF with insured shares of $529 billion.
Pursuant to Public Law 98–369, each insured credit union
is required to deposit and maintain in the NCUSIF one percent of its member share accounts. The fund is structured
to be entirely self supporting through the monies paid by
member credit unions. The monies received plus the income
generated from investments are expected to cover all administrative and financial costs, as well as increase the fund balance proportionate to insured share growth. In addition, the
NCUSIF has $100 million in borrowing authority from the
Treasury for use in unforeseen emergencies.
The Credit Union Membership Access Act of 1998 (CUMAA)
requires the NCUA Board to set a Normal Operating Level
(equity ratio) for the NCUSIF between 1.2 and 1.5 percent.
The equity ratio is defined as the total balance of the NCUSIF
less unreserved contingent liabilities divided by the total
amount of insured shares at year end. For 2006, the Board
set the Normal Operating Level at 1.3 percent prior to the
beginning of the calendar year.
In accordance with the CUMAA, NCUA is required to collect a premium from insured credit unions if the equity ratio

NATIONAL CREDIT UNION ADMINISTRATION—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

OTHER INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

falls below 1.2 percent of insured shares. In 2006, the income
generated from the required one-percent deposit explained
above eliminated the need to assess a premium. For 2007
and 2008, NCUA does not anticipate a premium assessment,
although the Board may assess a premium if the equity ratio
falls below 1.3 percent.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 and
the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 changed the agency’s share insurance rule.
In this regard, effective April 1, 2006, the revised rule: 1)
defines the ‘‘standard maximum share insurance amount’’ as
$100,000 and provides that beginning in 2010, and in each
subsequent 5-year period thereafter, NCUA and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation will jointly consider if an inflation adjustment is appropriate to increase that amount; 2)
increases the share insurance limit for certain retirement accounts from $100,000 to $250,000, subject to the above inflation adjustments; and 3) provides pass-through coverage to
each participant of an employee benefit plan, but limits the
acceptance of shares in an employee benefit plan to insured
credit unions that are well or adequately capitalized.
In 2006, a PART assessment rated the Share Insurance
Fund as a ‘‘Moderately Effective’’ program. The NCUSIF was
judged to be well managed and sound. A noteworthy area
for enhancement that the PART review identified involved
statutory limitations preventing implementation of a more
fully risk-based capital structure under prompt corrective action.

The National Credit Union Central Liquidity Facility was
established under Public Law 95–630 and provides loans to
member credit unions for seasonal and emergency needs.
The two primary sources of funds for the Facility are stock
subscriptions from credit unions and borrowings from the
Federal Financing Bank. Credit unions that choose to become
members of the Facility are required to purchase stock equal
to one-half of one percent of their paid-in and unimpaired
capital and surplus. One-half of the subscription in stock is
transferred to the Facility. The remaining half of the subscription remains on call.

CDRLF from the Department of Health and Human Services
to NCUA.
The CDRLF provides loans and technical assistance grants
to qualifying credit unions with a low-income designation.
The NCUA disbursed loans of $2,879,000 in 2006 and anticipates approving at least $2,500,000 in 2007. In 2003, 2004,
and 2005, excess market liquidity decreased credit unions’
demand for loan funds. With the increase in market rates
through 2006, credit unions’ demand for low-cost funds to
expand services to low-income members has increased.
The CDRLF received $950,000 in appropriated funds in
fiscal year 2006 to be used for technical assistance grants.
In 2006, funds appropriated for grants, supplemented by
CDRLF investment income, were used to fund 286 grants
totaling $973,445. Technical assistance grants are made to
low-income credit unions to help them improve the financial
condition of their credit unions, provide financial services to
members, and stimulate economic activities in the communities served.
A PART analysis of the CDRLF program has shown that
it is well designed to meet its objectives and effectively targets
its resources. NCUA is addressing the PART’s other conclusions, which include developing long-term performance measures to demonstrate that credit unions serving low-income
customers are contributing to increasing income, ownership,
and employment opportunities.

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) supports excellence in the arts, brings the arts to all Americans, and
provides leadership in arts education. In 2008, the Budget
proposes $128.4 million for grants programs and associated
costs, including Challenge America: Reaching Every Community grants, and American Masterpieces: Three Centuries of
Artistic Genius.
Through American Masterpieces, NEA will continue to provide Americans with the opportunity to know and experience
the best of our Nation’s artistic achievements. The American
Masterpieces’ literary component, the Big Read, will continue
NEA’s commitment to support programs of indisputable artistic merit that engage communities large and small in all
50 States.
NEA will support these projects with public and private
partners, including State arts agencies and regional arts organizations.
The National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities
Act of 1965, as amended, authorizes NEA to receive money
and other donated property. Such gifts may be used, sold,
or otherwise disposed of to support arts projects and activities.
This presentation also includes the Arts and Artifacts Indemnity Fund. The Arts and Artifacts Indemnity Act of 1975,
as amended, authorizes the Federal Council on the Arts and
Humanities to enter into indemnity agreements to cover certain eligible works of art on exhibition in the United States
or abroad. Loss or damage claims certified by the Council
are paid from this fund.

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) supports educational and scholarly activities in the humanities,
preserves America’s cultural and intellectual resources, and
provides opportunities for all Americans to engage in learning
in the humanities. In 2008, the agency will continue We the
People, a program designed to promote a broad understanding
of the ideas, people, and events that have shaped our nation.
Also supported is the agency’s new Digital Humanities Initiative, which encourages and funds projects that utilize or study
the impact of digital technology on the humanities. NEH also
will continue to support partnerships with state humanities
councils; the strengthening of humanities teaching and learning in the nation’s schools and higher educational institutions;
efforts to preserve and increase access to books, U.S. newspapers, documents, and other reference materials; and museum exhibitions, documentary media projects, and reading
programs in the humanities that reach popular audiences.
Support is provided through outright grants, matching
grants, and a combination of the two. Eligible applicants include state humanities councils, schools, higher education institutions, libraries, museums, historical organizations, other
cultural institutions, and individuals.
This presentation also includes the Gifts and Donations
account. The National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965, as amended, authorizes the Humanities
Endowment to receive money and other donated property.
Such gifts may be used, sold, or otherwise disposed of to
support humanities projects and activities. Budget authority

Field investigation.—Charges of unfair labor practices and
petitions for elections to resolve representation disputes are
investigated by regional office personnel. Approximately 95
percent of the unfair labor practice cases and over 88 percent
of the representation cases are closed by settlement, dismissal, or withdrawal. The remainder are prepared for public
hearing. The agency strives to maximize the voluntary settlement of all cases and to avoid litigation.
Administrative law judge hearing.—Administrative law
judges conduct public hearings in unfair labor practice cases.
Their findings and recommendations are set forth in their
decisions.
Board adjudication.—In an unfair labor practice case, a
judge’s decision becomes a Board order if no exceptions are

filed. About 30 percent of these decisions become automatic
Board orders or are complied with voluntarily. The remainder,
with exceptions filed, requires contested Board decision. In
representation cases, regional directors initially decide the
issues by Board delegation. The Board itself decides representation issues on referral from regional directors or by granting
a request for review of a regional director’s decision. The
Board also rules on objection and challenge questions in election cases.
Securing compliance with Board orders.—If the parties do
not voluntarily comply with the Board’s order involving unfair
labor practices, the Board must request that the appellate
courts enforce its decisions.

Mediatory and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services.—The Board mediates disputes over wages, hours, and
working conditions for some 746 rail and air carriers and
approximately 795,000 employees in the two industries.
The Board also provides technical assistance to enable labor
and industry representatives to explore informally the relevant economic and noneconomic problems that condition collective bargaining in the railroad and airline industries. The
Board’s ADR program provides collective bargaining training,
facilitation, and grievance mediation services to the labormanagement community.

Emergency disputes.—When the parties fail to resolve their
disputes through mediation, they are urged to submit their
differences to arbitration. If neither mediation nor voluntary
arbitration is successful, the President, when notified of disputes which substantially threaten to interrupt essential service, may appoint emergency boards to investigate and report
on the dispute. Such reports usually serve as a basis for
resolving the disputes.

Arbitration under sections 3 and 7 of the Railway Labor
Act.—Railroad employee grievances resulting from disputes
over the interpretation or application of collective bargaining
contracts may be brought for settlement to the National Railroad Adjustment Board (NRAB). The divisions of the Board
are composed of an equal number of carrier and union representatives compensated by the party or parties they represent. Public Law 89–456 provides for the adjustment of
disputes involving grievances resulting from interpretation or
application of bargaining agreements in the railroad industry
otherwise referable to the NRAB.
Administrative direction and support for the public law
boards, special boards of adjustment, and the NRAB are provided by Federal employees who are compensated by the National Mediation Board.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), as an
independent nonregulatory agency, is charged with promoting
transportation safety through the investigation of accidents,
the conduct of special studies, the development of recommendations to prevent accidents, the evaluation of the effectiveness of other Government agencies in preventing transportation accidents, and the review of appeals of adverse certificate and civil penalty actions taken by the Administrators
of agencies of the Department of Transportation involving
airman and seaman certificates and licenses.
In 2008 , the Administration requests a total funding level
of $83 million for NTSB Salaries and Expenses to allow the
NTSB to fulfill its role in improving safety on the Nation’s

The National Transportation Safety Board is mandated
by Congress to investigate all catastrophic transportation accidents and, therefore, has no control over the frequency of
costly accident investigations. The emergency fund provides
a funding mechanism by which periodic accident investigation
cost fluctuations can be met without delaying critical phases
of the investigations. The current balance of $2 million is
sufficient to cover unanticipated costs associated with an increased number of accidents, and thus the Administration
does not propose new funding in 2008.

The National Veterans Business Development Corporation
(NVBDC) was established under P.L. 106–50 with the purpose
of providing veterans with access to education, access to capital and services, and access to markets. In assessing these
goals, the NVBDC has attempted to build partnerships and
conduct outreach with Federal departments and agencies, veterans service organizations, community based organizations
and private sector corporations. NVBDC’s original authoriza-

Established by Congress in 1978, the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation (NRC) is a model of a community/public/private partnership leveraging public funds that provides
locally-driven and efficient community development. The NRC
network of partners and chartered non-profit organizations,
or NeighborWorks organizations, operates in all 50 states,
the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico—in urban, suburban, and rural communities. Over the past 30 years, the
NRC network has replicated successful neighborhood preservation projects nationwide that focus on affordable rental
housing and homeownership. NeighborWorks organizations
receive grants and programmatic support, training and information on best practices, and access to Neighborhood Housing
Services of America, a secondary mortgage market created
for the NRC network.
NRC receives both Federal and non-Federal funding to finance its program activities. The Budget provides $119.8 million for the program. The following tables reflect NRC’s activities related to Federal appropriated funds and other core revenue.

Nuclear Reactor Safety.—A major part of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) mission is to ensure that its licensees design, construct, and operate civilian reactor facilities safely. The Atomic Energy Act and the Energy Reorganization Act provide the foundation for regulating the Nation’s civilian nuclear power industry. Nuclear reactor safety
encompasses all NRC efforts to ensure that civilian nuclear
reactor facilities and research and test reactors are operated
in a manner that provides adequate protection of public
health and safety and the environment, and protects against
radiological sabotage and theft or diversion of special nuclear
materials. These efforts include reactor licensing; reactor license renewal; operator licensing; financial assurance; inspection; performance assessment; new reactor licensing; identification and resolution of safety issues; reactor regulatory research; regulation development; operating experience evaluation; incident investigation; homeland security efforts (including threat assessment, mitigating strategies, and emergency
preparedness); emergency response; investigation of alleged
wrongdoing by licensees, applicants, contractors, or vendors;
imposition of enforcement sanctions for violations of NRC re-

quirements; and reactor technical and regulatory training.
In response to renewed interest in building nuclear power
reactors, NRC will conduct pre-licensing and licensing reviews
and will develop necessary regulatory infrastructure to support these reviews. NRC participates in international safety
support activities, including some that support the Agency’s
domestic mission and others that support broader U.S. national interests. These activities include international policy
formulation, treaty implementation, international information
exchange, international safety and safeguard assistance, and
deterring nuclear proliferation. NRC will continue to maintain
an effective security and safeguards program for civilian reactor facilities and address any significant weaknesses.
Nuclear Materials and Waste Safety.—Nuclear materials
safety encompasses all NRC efforts to ensure that NRC-regulated aspects of nuclear fuel cycle facilities and nuclear materials activities are handled in a manner that provides adequate protection of public health and safety and that promotes
the common defense and security, including implementation
of P.L. 109–58, the Energy Policy Act of 2005. These efforts
include licensing/certification, inspection, and enforcement activities; import-export licensing of nuclear materials and
equipment; regulation and guidance development; nuclear materials research; identification and resolution of safety and
safeguard issues; improved regulatory control of radiological
sources; operating experience evaluation; incident investigation; threat assessment; emergency response; technical training; implementation of State and tribal programs; and investigation of alleged wrongdoing by licensees, applicants, certificate holders, and contractors.
Nuclear waste safety encompasses NRC’s high-level waste
regulatory activities associated with high-level waste disposal
at the potential Yucca Mountain repository as mandated by
the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended, and the
Energy Policy Act of 1992; NRC regulatory and oversight
activities for decommissioning, which involves safely removing
a facility from service and reducing residual radiation to a
level that permits the property to be released for unrestricted
or restricted use; oversight of certain Department of Energy
radioactive waste incidental to reprocessing to implement Section 3116 of P.L. 108–375; the safe and secure storage and
transportation of radioactive materials through the certification of spent fuel storage containers and transportation
packages; and waste safety research. Low-level radioactive
waste activities associated with the disposal of waste are addressed in accordance with the Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Policy Act of 1980, as amended. NRC will continue to maintain the security and safeguards program for decommissioning
reactors, spent fuel storage installations, transportation packages, and storage cask designs.

The Office of Special Counsel (OSC): 1) investigates Federal
employee and applicant allegations of prohibited personnel
practices (including reprisal for whistleblowing) and other activities prohibited by civil service law, and when appropriate,
prosecutes before the Merit Systems Protection Board
(MSPB); 2) provides a safe channel for whistleblowing by
Federal employees and applicants; 3) enforces the Uniform
Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act
(USERRA); and 4) advises on and enforces the Hatch Act.
OSC may transmit whistleblower allegations to the agency
head concerned and require an agency investigation. OSC
then submits a report to the Congress and the President
when appropriate.
Overall in 2006, there were more than 5,722 instances for
which the assistance or action of OSC was sought by Federal
employees and other persons. Many prohibited personnel
practice cases investigated by OSC are resolved without recourse to formal proceedings before MSPB. In 2006, OSC
obtained 50 favorable actions, and efforts to obtain such negotiated resolutions will continue. In 2006, OSC also filed 6
disciplinary action complaints before MSPB in Hatch Act matters. OSC also issued 3,004 Hatch Act advisory opinions (both
written and oral) to people who sought advice. During 2006,
OSC’s Disclosure Unit received 435 new disclosure matters
for possible referral. The Disclosure Unit referred matters

OTHER INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

to agency heads for their review a total of 24 times during

OSC revised its Strategic Plan for the five year period beginning in 2007. These revisions focus on developing and implementing quantifiable performance measures tied to the
agency’s timeliness in handling cases, the quality of OSC’s
work product and decisions, and fulfillment of OSC’s education and outreach responsibilities. The Strategic Plan continues to emphasize cross-training and strategic management
of human capital in order for the agency and its individual
units to use their resources to maximum effect. The Special
Counsel’s emphasis on the agency’s expanding USERRA missions is also noted.

The Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004 (P.L. 108–

investigation rather than the Department of Labor. This demonstration project started in February, 2005 and extends
through the end of 2007. OSC has assembled a dedicated
USERRA Unit to investigate and prosecute these cases.
For 2007 and 2008, OSC projects intake for prohibited personnel practice cases and disclosure cases will continue to
increase according to recent trends.
The funding requested for 2008 will enable OSC to maintain the staffing level necessary to operate the agency without
building up backlogs.

The Office of the Federal Coordinator for Alaska Natural
Gas Transportation Projects was established as an independent agency in the Executive Branch on December 13,
2006, pursuant to the Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline Act of
2004. The Federal Coordinator is responsible for coordinating
all Federal activities for an Alaska natural gas transportation
project, including joint surveillance and monitoring with the
State of Alaska of construction of a project. An Alaska natural
gas transportation project could deliver significant natural
gas supply to the U.S. lower 48 states. Action by the State
of Alaska in reaching agreement with potential project owners
as to fiscal terms is necessary before project development
can move forward. The Budget proposes $2.3 million to support the activities of this Office.

The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, Public Law 91–
375, converted the Post Office Department into the U.S. Postal Service, an independent establishment within the executive
branch. The Postal Service commenced operations July 1,
1971. This agency is charged with providing patrons with
reliable mail service at reasonable rates and fees.
The U.S. Postal Service is governed by an 11-member Board
of Governors, including nine Governors appointed by the
President, a Postmaster General who is selected by the Governors, and a Deputy Postmaster General who is selected
by the Governors and the Postmaster General.
Effective in 1986, the Postal Service Fund (Fund) was included in the congressional and executive budget process and
taken into account in making calculations under the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (GrammRudman-Hollings). The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1989 amended title 39 of the U.S. Code by adding a new
section, 2009a, which provides that, beginning in 1990, the
receipts and disbursements of the Fund shall not be considered as part of the congressional and executive budget process
and shall not be taken into account in making calculations
under Gramm-Rudman-Hollings.
Programs.—Included are all postal activities providing window services; processing, delivery, and transportation of mail;
research and development; administration of postal field ac-

1117

tivities; and associated expenses of providing facilities and
financing.
In December 2002, the President’s Commission on the
United States Postal Service was created to recommend legislative and administrative steps necessary to effect reforms
needed to meet the challenges faced by the Postal Service
and ensure the viability of postal services (Executive Order
13278, December 11, 2002). A series of public meetings were
held and a wide range of postal stakeholders from postal
unions and management associations, the mailing industry,
competitors, academics and economists were heard. In July
2003, a final report was issued to the President containing
recommendations for changes the Commission deems necessary to protect the nation’s access to affordable, universal
mail service long into the future.
On December 20, 2006, the President signed P.L. 109–435,
the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act. The Act
made a number of changes affecting the operations and oversight of the Postal Service, many of which are consistent
with the recommendations of the President’s Commission. The
Act provided for separate accounting and reporting for Postal
Service activities related to: (1) products where the Postal
Service dominates the market; and (2) products where the
Postal Service is in a competitive market. (Due to the recent
enactment of the legislation, the Budget does not yet reflect
the separation of the two activities.) The Act amended the
process for determining rate increases for market-dominant
products, in part by imposing a limitation on rate increases
for at least the next 10 years linked to the Consumer Price
Index. This will provide the Postal Service with pricing flexibility and ratepayers with a degree of rate predictability. The
Act also replaced the Postal Rate Commission with a Postal
Regulatory Commission with expanded authorities, including
subpoena powers.
Financing.—The activities of the U.S. Postal Service are
financed from the following sources: (1) mail and services
revenue; (2) reimbursements from Federal and non-Federal
sources; (3) proceeds from borrowing; (4) interest from U.S.
securities and other investments; and (5) appropriations by
the Congress. All receipts and deposits are made to the Postal
Service Fund and are available without fiscal year limitation
for payment of all expenses incurred, retirement of obligations, investment in capital assets, and investment in obligations and securities.
Separate legislation also increased the Postal Service’s statutory borrowing authority beginning in 1991. Section 2005
of title 39, United States Code, as amended, increased the
Postal Service’s borrowing authority by $2.5 billion in 1991
for a revised ceiling of $12.5 billion and an additional $2.5
billion in 1992 for a revised total ceiling of $15 billion. The
total annual increase in net outstanding debt was also increased to annually grow by up to $2.0 billion in obligations
issued for the purpose of capital improvements and by $1.0
billion for the purpose of paying operating expenses. P.L.
109–435 removed the separate limitations on borrowing for
capital improvements and operating expenses so that under
the $15 billion debt cap, the annual increase in outstanding
debt cannot now exceed a combined total of $3.0 billion. As
of September 30, 2008, it is expected that the total debt
instruments issued and outstanding pursuant to this authority will amount to $3.4 billion.
Operating.—Estimated revenue will total approximately
$78.4 billion in 2008. This includes $77.8 billion from mail
and services revenue, $500 million from investment income,
and $89 million for revenue foregone appropriations in 2008.
Total expenses are estimated at approximately $78.7 billion
in 2008.
The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 established the Postal Service as a fully self-sufficient, independent entity. Postal
revenues were to cover the full costs of postal operations.

POSTAL SERVICE—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

POSTAL SERVICE FUND—Continued

When the Act was passed, the Postal Service received substantial taxpayer subsidies, both appropriated and unappropriated. Consistent with the intent of the 1970 Act, the Congress has taken steps over time to reduce these subsidies,
particularly by requiring the Postal Service to assume greater
portions of its personnel-related costs. At the end of 2006,
the Postal Service employed 796,199 persons, and is the Nation’s second largest employer. Under the 1974 Civil Service
Retirement Fund Postal Employee Benefits Act, the Postal
Service assumed responsibility for paying unfunded retirement costs from wage schedule increases under postal labor
contracts. These costs are not covered by normal employee/
employer contributions to the retirement fund. The 1985 Reconciliation Act shifted responsibility for paying health benefit
costs of Postal annuitants retiring after 1986 from the Office
of Personnel Management (OPM) to the Postal Service. The
1987 Reconciliation Act had the Postal Service make onetime payments to defray annuitant health benefit costs in
1988 and 1989 and retirement COLA costs in 1988. (Retirement COLAs, like wage schedule increases, result in retirement liabilities not covered by normal retirement fund contributions.) Under the 1989 Reconciliation Act, the Postal
Service assumed responsibility for paying health benefits of
survivors of post-86 annuitants and unfunded retirement
COLA liabilities for post-86 annuitants.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 superseded
certain existing legislation and expanded the Postal Service’s
responsibility for benefit costs of postal annuitants. Effective
October 1, 1990, the Postal Service was required to fund
Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) COLAs and the employer’s share of Federal Employees Health Benefits Program
(FEHBP) premiums for postal annuitants who retired after
June 30, 1971, and their survivors. In addition, the Postal
Service was required to fund the retroactive CSRS COLA
and FEHBP premium costs for which the Postal Service
would have been liable if the provisions of this new legislation
had been in effect as of July 1, 1971.
Under the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993, the Postal
Service was required to make certain payments for past
COLAs and health benefits, over and above any other payments required by law, of $693 million to the Civil Service
Retirement and Disability Fund, and $348 million to the Employees Health Benefits Fund. These two amounts were made
in three equal annual installments, beginning in fiscal year
1996.
The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 repealed the authorization for transitional appropriations to the Postal Service
which had funded the liabilities of the former Post Office
Department to the Employees’ Compensation Fund. Effective
October 1, 1997, these liabilities became liabilities of the Postal Service payable out of the Postal Service Fund.
Early in 2003, OPM determined that, at the then-current
rate of funding, the Postal Service would pay substantially
more than needed to fund the estimated future benefits of
postal employees and retirees participating in the Civil Service Retirement System. This projected over-funding resulted
from interest earned by the fund in excess of the assumed
statutory rate of five percent. As a result, the Administration
proposed and the Congress enacted CSRS reform legislation
that was signed by the President on April 23, 2003 (P.L.
108–18). The provisions of P.L. 108–18 eliminate all future
retirement liability payments related to general wage increases and the retirement COLA payments. In addition, the
Postal Service funded CSRS retirement benefits at 17.4 percent of current CSRS employees’ wages, beginning in May
2003. This was a dynamic funding requirement, not a static
requirement, thus employer contributions can change based
on interest earnings and amounts that are needed to fund
the full cost of the future benefit. Annually, OPM was di-

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008

rected to calculate the amount of any potential supplemental
retirement liability and the Postal Service was required to
fund any such liability in annual payments through September 30, 2043.
P.L. 109–435 created the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund to put the Postal Service on a path that fully
funds its substantial retiree (annuitant) health benefits liabilities. This new Fund receives from the Postal Service: 1)
The pension savings provided to the Postal Service by the
Postal Civil Service Retirement System Funding Reform Act
of 2003 (P.L. 108–18) that were held in escrow during 2006;
2) A 10-year stream of payments defined within P.L 109–
435 to begin the liquidation of the Postal Services unfunded
liability for post-retirement health benefits; 3) Beginning in
2017, payments for the actuarial cost of Postal Service contributions for the post-retirement health benefits for its current employees; and 4) The surplus resources of the Civil
Service Retirement and Disability Fund that are not needed
to finance future retirement benefits under CSRS to current
or former employees of the Postal Service that are attributable to civilian employment with the Postal Service, including the savings from shifting the responsibility for retirement
credit related to military service from the Postal Service to
the Treasury (effectively eliminating the need for the dynamic
CSRS funding payments and supplemental liability payments
noted in the previous paragraph). As a result of this new
health benefits financing system, the Postal Service will cease
to pay annual premium costs for its post-1971 current annuitants directly to the Employees and Retired Employees
Health Benefits Fund in 2017. Instead, these premium payments will be paid from amounts that the Postal Service
remits to this new fund. Payments for a proportion of the
premium costs of Postal Service annuitants pre-1971 service
would continue to be paid by the General Fund of the Treasury through the Government Payment for Annuitants, Employees Health Benefits account.

The Presidio Trust is a wholly owned Government corporation established by the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands
Management Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–333) to manage,
improve, maintain and lease property in the Presidio of San
Francisco. After this former military base was transferred
to the National Park Service (NPS), the Trust was created
to take over responsibility for managing the hundreds of
houses, office buildings, and other facilities in an innovative
manner that uses private-sector resources, but is consistent
with surrounding NPS lands. This appropriation funds the
operation and capital improvements of the Trust.

All railroad retirees receive the equivalent of a social security benefit, and they may also receive other add-ons including rail industry pension payments, windfall payments, and
supplemental annuities. Social security benefits for former
railroad employees are funded by the social security trust
funds, and rail industry pension payments are the responsibility of the rail sector.
Under current law, a financial interchange occurs once each
year between the social security trust funds and the social
security equivalent benefit (SSEB) account. SSEB receives
monthly advances from the general fund equal to an estimate
of the transfer SSEB would have received for the previous
month if the financial interchange transfers were on a monthly basis. Advances from the previous year are repaid annually
to the general fund immediately after the financial interchange is received. In 2006, $3,241 million was advanced
and $3,250 million was repaid.

The primary mission of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is to protect investors, maintain fair, orderly,
and efficient markets, and facilitate capital formation. The
Commission’s major divisions include Corporation Finance,
which ensures that investors are provided with material information in the public offering, trading, voting and tendering
of securities; Enforcement, which investigates and prosecutes
violations of the federal securities laws; Market Regulation,
which oversees self-regulatory organizations, monitors securities markets and broker-dealer operations, and develops regulatory strategies; Investment Management, which drafts regulations, provides interpretive advice and reviews disclosure
documents filed from investment companies and investment
advisers; and the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE), which conducts an exam program to detect
violations of the federal securities laws and evaluate internal
compliance controls.
The SEC is funded through offsetting fees collected pursuant to section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, and sections
13(e), 14(g) and 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The 2008 Budget assumes $1.1 billion in fees and proposes
to allow the SEC to use $875 million of the fee collections
to finance its operations in 2008.
The Administration has conducted PARTs on Enforcement,
Corporation Finance, OCIE and Investment Management. The
Commission is working to address the PARTs’ conclusions,
including developing targets and baselines for annual and
long-term performance measures.

The Telecommunications Development Fund (TDF) was created in 1996 by Public Law 104–104 with the objective of
promoting access to capital for small businesses, enhancing
competition in the telecommunications industry, and improving the delivery of telecommunication services to rural areas.
TDF receives interest earnings from deposits on spectrum
auctions. Through 2007, TDF will have collected approximately $80 million in interest that would have otherwise
been deposited in the Treasury and benefited taxpayers. The
Budget proposes termination of TDF as the organization has
had no material impact in meeting its statutory goals. Further, through 2005 TDF has spent approximately $15 million
for administrative costs and lost two-thirds of the $14 million
in portfolio investments it has made.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was created in 1933
as a Government-owned corporation for the unified development of a river basin comprised of parts of seven States.
The agency finances its program primarily from proceeds
available from current power operations and borrowings
against future power revenues.
TVA’s nonpower programs.—TVA operates a series of 49
dams and 47 reservoirs to reduce the risk of flooding, enable
year-round navigation, supply affordable and reliable electricity, improve water quality and water supply, provide recreational opportunities, stimulate economic growth, and provide a wide range of other public benefits. TVA is responsible
for critical stewardship activities within the Tennessee Valley
which include: water release regulation; maintenance of dam
machinery and spillway gates; modifications on nine main
and four auxiliary navigation locks and associated mooring
facilities; improvement of water quality and supply; management of shoreline erosion; regulation of shoreline development
along the Tennessee River and its tributaries; planning and
management of 293,000 acres of public land; and operation
of public recreation areas. These services are funded entirely
by TVA’s power revenues and its user fees.
TVA’s Power Program.—TVA’s role as the sole supplier of
electric power to an area of 80,000 square miles in the seven
Tennessee Valley States is being reviewed as the Nation considers ways to restructure the electric power industry. Income
from power operations, net of interest charges and depreciation, and other operating expenses is estimated at $449 mil-

lion in 2008. Power generating facilities are financed from
power proceeds and borrowings.
TVA Policy Initiatives.—TVA’s Board of Directors has completed restructuring from three full-time members to nine
part-time members, which are appointed by the President
and confirmed by the Senate. The newly formed TVA Board
of Directors will begin a comprehensive review of TVA’s current and future operations, which will result in the adoption
of a new long-term strategic plan. The strategic plan will
address such topics as growth in base generation capacity,
transmission of electricity, human resources, capital investments, financial projections, and environmental stewardship.
Estimates included in the 2008 Budget are based on TVA’s
existing strategic plan and may be subject to change once
the new strategic plan is adopted.
In December 2006, TVA filed its first financial report with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which provided for more transparency of its business operations. The
2008 Budget includes an Administration initiative to require
TVA to register its debt securities with the SEC, which will
provide investors with additional insight into the characteristics and risks inherent in TVA securities.
The outstanding balance of TVA’s bonds, notes, and other
evidences of indebtedness is limited by statute and cannot
exceed $30 billion. The Budget re-proposes a 2005 proposal
that would increase TVA’s financial transparency by counting
all transactions that result in debt-like obligations to count
towards TVA’s statutory debt limit. To position TVA for a
more competitive electricity market and achieve a more sound
business risk profile, TVA’s budget includes estimated debt
reduction amounts of $553 million in 2008 and approximately
$3.4 billion by 2012.
Financing.—Amounts estimated to become available in
2008 are to be derived from power revenues and receipts
of $9,505 million. TVA’s budget includes an estimated reduction in total financial obligations in the amount of $553 million in 2008. This reduction will encompass all TVA longterm liabilities, not just traditional TVA notes and bonds.
Operating results and financial conditions.—Payments to
the Treasury from power proceeds in 2008 are estimated at
$38 million—$18 million as a dividend (return on the appropriation investment in the power program) and $20 million
as a reduction in the appropriation investment in the power
program. Outstanding borrowings for the power program are
expected to decrease by $553 million during 2008. Total assets
are estimated to increase by $402 million during 2008. The
estimate of liabilities at September 30, 2008, is $73 million
more than the estimate at September 30, 2007. Total Government equity at September 30, 2008, is estimated to be $329
million more than that at September 30, 2007. This change
includes the net income from power operations, less payments
to the Treasury.

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is an independent
organization charged with reporting to the TVA Board of Directors and the Congress on the overall efficiency, effectiveness, and economy of TVA programs and operations. The OIG
meets this responsibility by conducting audits, investigations,
inspections, and other reviews. The OIG focuses on the prevention, identification, and elimination of 1) waste, fraud,
and abuse; 2) violations of laws, rules, or regulations; and
3) inefficiencies in TVA programs and operations. To increase
its independence, TVA’s Inspector General (IG) became a
Presidentially-appointed position in 2000. Currently, TVA’s
IG is funded directly from TVA revenues, subject to TVA
Board approval. The 2008 President’s Budget proposes to appropriate funds for TVA’s IG out of TVA’s revenues beginning
in 2008.

1988 labor agreement with the United Mine Workers of America; a Medicare prescription drug demonstration; transfers
from the Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation fund; and General Fund of the Treasury.

retired mine workers and disabled mine workers who are
not eligible for benefits under the Coal Industry Retiree
Health Benefit Act of 1992 and who are not receiving benefits
from employer’s benefit plans. The 1993 Benefit Plan was
established through collective bargaining under the National
Bituminous Coal Wage Agreement of 1993. Plan trustees are
appointed by the United Mine Workers of America and the
Bituminous Coal Operators Association, a coal industry bargaining group. The Plan is financed by signatories to the

The Veterans’ Judicial Review Act, found in part at 38
U.S.C. § 7251–7292 (1988), established the United States
Court of Veterans Appeals (renamed United States Court of
Appeals for Veterans Claims as of March 1, 1999, Public
Law 105–368) under Article I of the United States Constitution. The Court is empowered to review decisions of the Board
of Veterans Appeals and may affirm, modify, revise, or reverse
a decision of the Board or to remand the matter as appropriate. The type of review performed by the Court is similar
to that performed in Article III courts under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 551 et seq. In actions before
it, the Court has the authority to decide all relevant questions
of law, to interpret constitutional, statutory, and regulatory
provisions, and to determine the meaning or applicability of
the terms of an action by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
The Court, being created by an act of the Congress, may
issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of its jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. § 1651.
The Court is empowered to: compel actions of the Secretary
that are found to have been unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed; and set aside decisions, findings, conclusions,
rules, and regulations issued or adopted by the Secretary,
the Board of Veterans Appeals, or the Chairman of the Board
that are found to be arbitrary or capricious. The Court may
also set aside decisions that are abuses of discretion or otherwise not in accordance with the law, contrary to constitutional
right, in excess of statutory jurisdiction or authority, or without observance of the procedures required by law. In cases
involving benefits under the laws administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Court may hold unlawful and
set aside or reverse findings of material facts if the findings
are clearly erroneous.
The Court’s principal office location is Washington, D.C.;
however, it is a national court, empowered to sit anywhere
in the United States.
Pro bono program.—The Legal Services Corporation administers a grant program to provide pro bono representation
and legal assistance to claimants who file appeals with the
Court. The Congress funds the grant program through the
Court’s appropriation. To maintain impartiality, the Court
does not administer the program or comment on the program’s budget estimate.

The United States Institute of Peace is an independent,
bipartisan, national institution established and funded by
Congress. Its goals are to help prevent and resolve violent
international conflicts, promote post-conflict stability and
democratic transformations, and increase peacebuilding capacity, tools, and intellectual capital worldwide. The Institute
does this by empowering others with knowledge, skills, and
resources, as well as by its direct involvement in
peacebuilding efforts around the globe.
In order to achieve the above goals, USIP thinks, acts,
teaches, and trains, providing a unique combination of non-

1137

partisan research, innovative programs, and hands-on support. USIP provides on-the-ground operational support in
zones of conflict, most recently in Afghanistan, the Balkans,
Colombia, Indonesia, Iraq, the Palestinian Territories, Liberia, Nigeria, Philippines, Rwanda, and Sudan. Specific work
performed by Institute staff and grantees includes: building
leadership capacity through training and workshops; facilitating dialogue among parties in conflict; identifying and disseminating best practices in conflict management; sponsoring
leadership summits and strategic conferences; promoting the
rule of law; developing educational and teacher training materials; helping build civil society institutions; sponsoring a wide
range of countrywide working groups (e.g., Afghanistan, Haiti,
Iraq, Korea, Sudan); and educating the public through informative events, documentary films, radio programs, and an
array of other outreach activities.
USIP performs cutting edge research on the dynamics of
conflict and subjects relevant to policymakers and practitioners. Identifying best practices and developing innovative
programs focused on the prevention, management, and resolution of violent conflict, and the stabilization and transformation of societies emerging from conflict. Institute priority
programs currently include: Iraq Study Group; Muslim World
Initiative; Religion and Peacemaking; Rule of Law; Virtual
Diplomacy Initiative; and the Task Force on the United Nations. Programs under this appropriation include:
Professional/Practitioner Training.—Includes training on
conflict management and resolution techniques, including mediation and negotiation skills, to government and military
personnel, civil society leaders, and the staff of non-governmental and international organizations.
Education.—Includes educating emerging generations about
conflict management techniques, strengthening related secondary school, college, and university curricula, and building
the capabilities of future conflict management practitioners.
Support to Policymakers.—Includes research, analytical,
and policy support to the administration and Congress, as
well as in the international community.
Information Dissemination.—Includes disseminating informational materials to academia, the media, and the public
about the nature of current international and intrastate conflicts, and on approaches to their prevention, management,
and resolution through a wide range of materials, publications, and events.
The United States Institute of Peace draws on a variety
of resources in fulfilling its mandate including Institute staff,
grantees, Jennings Randolph Fellows, and a broad set of governmental and non-governmental partners:
Institute Specialists.—The Institute employs over seventy
specialists with both geographic and subject-matter expertise.
These experts are leaders in their fields and come from the
government, military, NGOs, academia, and the private sector.
Grants.—Through its two principal grantmaking components, annual unsolicited and solicited grant competitions,
USIP has invested $58 million since 1986 in some 1,700
grants for research and peacebuilding projects in 76 countries
around the world. USIP awards unsolicited grants for any
topics that fall within the USIP’s broad mandate and solicited
grants for special topics identified in advance by Institute
staff.
Jennings Randolph Fellows.—The Jennings Randolph Program for International Peace awards Senior Fellowships (in
residence) to outstanding scholars, policymakers, practitioners, journalists, and other professionals to conduct research on important issues related to the prevention, management, and resolution of violent conflicts. Since the program’s
inception, senior fellows have produced over 125 books and
special reports. The Jennings Randolph program also awards

The Vietnam Education Foundation Act of 2000 (Title II
of Public Law 106–554) created the Vietnam Education Foundation (VEF) to administer an international fellowship program under which Vietnamese nationals can undertake graduate and post-graduate level studies in the United States
in the sciences (natural, physical, and environmental), mathematics, medicine, and technology, and American citizens can
teach in these fields in appropriate Vietnamese institutions.
The Act also authorized the establishment of the Vietnam
Debt Repayment Fund, in which all payments (including interest payments) made by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
under the United States-Vietnam debt agreement shall be
deposited as offsetting receipts. Beginning in 2002, and in
each subsequent year through 2018, $5 million of the amounts
deposited into the fund (or accrued interest) from USDA and
USAID shall be available to VEF.
