Planning grants.—EDA will continue to fund its network of Economic Development Districts and Indian Tribes to design and implement effective economic development policies and strategies that integrate with broader regional strategies. Trade adjustment assistance.—EDA’s Trade Adjustment Assistance funding supports technical assistance through a nationwide system of Trade Adjustment Assistance Centers that help firms and industries injured by imports to develop economic recovery strategies. Performance measures.—In 2008, EDA will track private investment and jobs generated by its investments and will develop a new goal and associated measures to track the results of its assistance in supporting innovation-led regional development. Long-term outcome results will continue to be reported by investment recipients over a period of nine years at three year intervals. In 2008, EDA will track its trade adjustment assistance investments to ensure they are providing market-based and value-added services.

In 2008, EDA will facilitate the streamlining of its application process into a comprehensive, simplified procedure under the Regional Development Account (RDA) that is easier and quicker for applicants to access. Under the RDA, the parameters of EDA’s programs, eligibility requirements, and targeting of economic development to distressed areas will remain unchanged. In addition, EDA will work to create a broader and more collaborative role for its vital partners: Economic Development Districts, University Centers and Indian Tribes. Regional development account.—EDA will continue to support its traditional programs of infrastructure development, capacity building, and technical assistance through a more streamlined process that will be more user-friendly and flexible for EDA investment partners (grantees). The RDA will increase EDA’s efficiency by providing a single, flexible program account that will avoid the challenges inherent in accessing multiple funds, accounting, and management. The RDA construct will enable investment partners (grantees) to engage simultaneously in multiple activities in support of a common initiative with just one EDA grant (e.g., infrastructure and technical assistance) or to focus on comprehensive investments for different phases of a development project that could span several years. With the exception of the Planning program, the RDA will encompass all EDA programs authorized under the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as amended (PWEDA), including Public Works, Technical Assistance, Research and Evaluation, Economic Adjustment Assistance and Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance. The RDA will not include the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms Program, which is authorized under the Trade Act of 1974, as amended, and will continue to be funded separately. 2006 actual 2007 est. 2008 est.

Current economic statistics.—The business statistics program provides current information on sales and related measures of retail and wholesale trade and selected service industries. Construction statistics are provided on significant construction activity, while manufacturing statistics survey key industrial commodities and manufacturing activities, providing current statistics on the quantity and value of industrial output. The 2008 Budget includes an initiative to close the current gap in service sector coverage. Expanding coverage of the service sector is critical to improving the accuracy of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and other principal economic indicators. General economic statistics provide a Business Register of all U.S. business firms and their establishments, uniform classification data based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), annual county business data, corporate financial data, e-commerce estimates, and an economic research program. The Bureau’s Center for Economic Studies is undertaking work to improve the utility of Federal data on minority and women-owned businesses. In the year ahead, the Center will extend this initiative by linking survey data with the Longitudinal Research Database and the Business Register, within existing resources. Using appropriate tax return data to update survey series, this work will develop information on how minority and women-owned businesses fare over time under various economic circumstances. Foreign trade statistics provide for publication of monthly and annual reports on imports and exports, which covers the Census Bureau’s responsibilities under the Trade Act of 1974. Government statistics provide comprehensive information on state and local governments. This includes quarterly revenue data on the national level by type of tax and governmental level and provides information on financial assistance programs of the Federal Government. Current demographic statistics.—Household surveys provide information on the social and economic characteristics of the population. The Census Bureau compiles statistics on the Nation’s housing inventory and provides national and regional estimates of housing vacancy rates. The Census Bureau also provides current reports and future projections on the geographic and demographic characteristics of the U.S. popu- BUREAU OF THE CENSUS—Continued Federal Funds—Continued DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE lation. International statistics provide estimates of demographic and economic characteristics for various countries. Survey development and data services.—The Statistical Abstract of the United States summarizes Government and private statistics of the industrial, social, political, and economic activities of the United States. This function also supports general research on survey methods and techniques to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and timeliness of statistical programs. Survey of program dynamics.—This program is supported by mandatory appropriations provided by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996, as reauthorized by the 109th Congress, to provide data necessary to determine the impact of welfare provisions. This funding, along with the requested discretionary funding, will allow the Census Bureau to disseminate data on program participation collected in 2006 and 2007 and design a new data collection system on the dynamics of economic well-being. State children’s health insurance program (SCHIP).—Mandatory appropriations provided by the Medicare, Medicaid, and State Children’s Health Insurance Program Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 support data collection by the Current Population Survey (CPS) on the number of lowincome children who do not have health insurance coverage. Data from this enhanced survey are used in the formula to allocate funds to States under the SCHIP program.

Economic statistics programs: Economic census.—The economic census provides data on manufacturing, utilities, mining, retail and wholesale trade service, construction and transportation industries. The census is taken every fifth year, covering calendar years ending in two and seven. 2008 is the fourth year in the 2007 Economic Census Cycle. The primary focus in 2008 is the data collection and processing of economic census returns. Census of governments.—The census of governments is taken every fifth year for calendar years ending in two and seven. The focus for 2008 is the collection and processing of data for the employment phase; data collection and processing of information from states and other sources for the finance phase; and creation of the universe frame and development of organizational information for the organization phase of the census. 192 BUREAU OF THE CENSUS—Continued Federal Funds—Continued PERIODIC CENSUSES AND THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 23.3 PROGRAMS—Continued Demographic statistics programs: Intercensal demographic estimates.—In years between decennial censuses, this program develops annual estimates of the population for the Nation, states, metropolitan areas, counties and functioning governmental units. These data are used for a variety of purposes including the allocation of nearly $200 billion in Federal funds, as controls for a variety of federally sponsored surveys, as denominators for vital statistics and other health and economic indicators, and for a variety of Federal, state, and private program planning needs. 2010 decennial census program.—The Census Bureau is preparing for a reegineered, short-form only 2010 Census. The 2010 Census program features three key components designed to reduce risk, improve accuracy, provide more relevant data, and contain cost. They are: (1) a rigorous, multiyear planning, development, and testing process; (2) continuation of the fully implemented American Community Survey (ACS) to replace the census long-form and provide detailed data annually; and (3) enhancing the Census Bureau’s geographic database by correcting and aligning street location information with Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates. In 2008, the Census Bureau will increase staff and operations to conduct a Dress Rehearsal, in which all aspects of the 2010 Census operation will be tested. The Bureau will also continue to support its two major contracts to provide handheld computers and other telecommunications systems, and automated data processing systems. The Bureau will continue to conduct the ACS and align streets with GPS coordinates. Demographic surveys sample redesign.—The demographic surveys sample redesign program takes updated information on the location and characteristics of the American population and uses that up-to-date snapshot to select representative samples of the population. These new, representative samples then become the basis for major household surveys conducted by Federal agencies until the next sample redesign. The purpose of this program is to minimize total survey costs for the desired level of reliability. Geographic support.—This activity’s goal is to determine the correct location of every residential and business establishment address in the U.S. and its territories. Major components include the Master Address File (MAF), a geographically-assigned address list for the nation, and the Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) database, which provides maps and geographic information for data tabulation. Together, they provide essential information and products critical for conducting many of the Census Bureau’s programs. Data processing systems.—This activity provides for the management of hardware and software needed for the Census Bureau’s general purpose computing facilities.

BEA’s economic statistics are among the Nation’s most closely watched and provide a comprehensive picture of the U.S. economy. These statistics are key ingredients in decisions affecting interest and exchange rates, tax and budget projections, business investment plans, and the allocation of over $215 billion in federal funds, including programs such as Medicaid and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), among others. BEA prepares national, regional, industry and international accounts that present essential information on such issues as economic growth, regional economic development, inter-industry relationships and the Nation’s position in the world economy. National economic accounts.—BEA’s national economic accounts provide a comprehensive view of U.S. production, consumption, investment, exports and imports, and income and saving. These statistics are best known by summary measures such as gross domestic product (GDP), corporate profits, personal income and spending, and personal savings. International economic accounts.—The international transactions accounts provide information on trade in goods and services, investment income, and government and private financial flows. The international investment position accounts measure the value of the U.S. international assets and liabilities. In addition, BEA’s data on direct investment, the most comprehensive data on multinational companies available, are used to assess the impact of these companies on the U.S. and foreign economies. Regional economic accounts.—The regional accounts provide data on total and per capita personal income by region, state, metropolitan area, and county, and on gross domestic product by state. These statistics are essential for state government revenue forecasting, the allocation of Federal funds to the states, and private sector investment decisions. Industry economic accounts.—The industry economic accounts, presented both in an input-output framework and as annual output by each industry, provide a detailed view of the interrelationships between U.S. producers and users and the contribution to production across industries. These accounts are used extensively by policymakers and businesses to understand industry interactions, productivity trends, and the changing structure of the U.S. economy. Over the last few decades, intangible investments like research and development (R&D) have become a critical component of the Nation’s economy. The 2008 Budget includes an initiative to begin incorporating R&D investments into GDP and the other national accounts. R&D is one of the larger ECONOMIC AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS—Continued Federal Funds—Continued 194 SALARIES AND THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 1001 EXPENSES—Continued and more important investments driving the Nation’s economic growth. This initiative will allow BEA to accelerate its work in expanding the national accounts to measure these critical investments. This work is essential for BEA to continue to accurately measure the Nation’s diversifying economy. Implementing BEA’s strategic plan.—BEA continues to work to update its statistical measures and close gaps in data coverage. The BEA strategic plan for 2008 calls for efforts to continue to improve the accuracy of measures on services, profits, compensation, international trade in services, and offshoring. The plan also calls on BEA to extend the prototype R&D accounts, funded by the National Science Foundation in 2006 and 2007, and supported by the 2008 Budget, with supplementary updates and extensions to BEA’s GDP and other estimates between 2008 and 2012, with full incorporation in 2013. Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) Policy support.—The ESA headquarters conducts economic research and policy analysis directly in support of the Secretary of Commerce. ESA monitors and interprets economic developments and domestic fiscal and monetary policies, analyzes economic conditions and policy initiatives of major trading partners, and provides oversight of the Census Bureau and the BEA. ESA Reimbursable program.—This program provides economic and statistical data and analyses to other Federal agencies, individuals, and firms requesting such information. In addition, the Census Bureau and BEA reimburse ESA headquarters for certain administrative, financial, and policy services. Performance measures.—For 2008, BEA will seek to maintain delivery of all data releases on schedule, maintain an average rating in customer satisfaction greater than a 4.0 (on a 5-point scale), and achieve a rating in the percentage of GDP estimates correct above 85 percent. 2006 actual Number of scheduled releases issued on time ..........................

The Economic and Statistics Administration operates STAT–USA, a revolving fund activity that provides the public with access to key business, economic, and international trade information. STAT–USA’s mission is to compile and disseminate world-class business, economic, and government information products that American businesses and the public can use to make intelligent and informed decisions. It accomplishes this goal through four primary products and services: (1) STAT–USA/Internet, (2) USA Trade Online, (3) EuroTrade Online and (4) syndication. STAT–USA has three ongoing objectives: (1) Identify new markets for products and services to increase the customer base; (2) Increase customer involvement to improve customer satisfaction; and (3) Increase supplier involvement. User fees from the public represent STAT–USA’s sole source of income. A more detailed presentation of STAT–USA objectives is found in the Department’s 2008 Budget Submission. 44 10 1 5 44 11 1 5 46 11 1 5 1 5 1 5 1 7 26.0 31.0 Total personnel compensation ..............................

The mission of the International Trade Administration (ITA) is to improve U.S. prosperity by strengthening the competitiveness of U.S. industry, promoting trade and investment, and ensuring fair trade and compliance with trade laws and agreements. ITA pursues this mission through its leadership role in the Government-wide Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee, through the major activities of its five programs, and through its reimbursable program, as follows: Manufacturing and services.—This program focuses on both the domestic and international aspects of U.S. industrial competitiveness by working with U.S. industries to evaluate the needs of the U.S. manufacturing and service sectors; conducting economic and regulatory analysis to strengthen U.S. industry; obtaining input and advice from U.S. industries for trade policy setting; and participating, as appropriate, with ITA trade policy and negotiation advancement initiatives. Market access and compliance (MAC).—MAC develops strategies to overcome market access obstacles faced by U.S. businesses by monitoring foreign country compliance with multilateral and bilateral trade-related agreements and identifying compliance and other market access obstacles. MAC works with other Government agencies to address barriers, and to ensure that U.S. firms know how to use market opening agreements and to find other opportunities in traditional and emerging markets. It develops both current and long-term market access strategies, including information needed to conduct trade negotiations to open markets. MAC also provides support for the operation of the established Free Trade Agreement Secretariats. Import administration.—This program investigates antidumping and countervailing duty cases to ensure compliance with applicable U.S. statutes and administers certain other statutory programs relating to imports and foreign trade zones. Trade promotion and the U.S. & Foreign Commercial Service.—The Commercial Service conducts trade promotion programs intended to broaden and deepen the base of U.S. exports, particularly of small and medium-sized firms; provides American companies with reliable advice on the range of public and private assistance available and knowledgeable support for all other Federal trade promotion services; offers export assistance through information, referral and followup services through its integrated global field network; ensures adequate support for compliance and leads interagency advocacy efforts for major overseas projects, including early involvement in project development and assistance to resolve 196 INTERNATIONAL TRADE ADMINISTRATION—Continued Federal Funds—Continued OPERATIONS AND THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 ADMINISTRATION—Continued UNITED STATES TRAVEL post-export transaction problems. The Commercial Service also maintains the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee staff. Administration and executive direction.—These programs provide policy leadership, information technology (IT) support and administration services for all of ITA. Executive Direction includes the Office of the Under Secretary for International Trade and subordinate offices covering Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs, Public Affairs, and the Office of the Chief Information Officer. Reimbursable program.—This program includes receipts for services rendered to other Federal agencies and receipts received on a cost-recovery basis from private entities for trade events and export information services. Performance measures.—Activities support the Department of Commerce’s strategic goal of providing the information and tools to maximize U.S. competitiveness.

BIS regulates the export of sensitive goods and technologies in an effective and efficient manner; enforces export controls, anti-boycott compliance, and public safety laws; cooperates with and assists other countries on export control and strategic trade issues; assists U.S. industry in complying with international arms agreements; monitors the viability of the U.S. defense industrial base; evaluates the effects of national security of foreign investments in U.S. companies; and supports continued U.S. technology leadership in industries that are essential to national security. Management and Policy Coordination (MPC).—The Management and Policy Coordination program supports all Bureau performance goals. MPC develops, analyzes, and coordinates policy initiatives within BIS and on an interagency basis. This activity includes resources for BIS engagement with other agencies to strengthen the capability of foreign countries to control strategic exports and to help stop the diversion of sensitive items. Export Administration (EA).—The Export Administration carries out BIS programs related to export control regulations, export licenses, treaty compliance, treaty obligations relating to weapons of mass destruction, and the defense industrial and technology base to meet national security needs. EA regulates the export of dual-use items determined to require export licenses for reasons of national security, nonproliferation, foreign policy, or short supply; ensures that approval or denial of license applications is consistent with U.S. economic and security concerns; promotes an understanding of export control regulations within the business community; represents the Department in interagency and international fora relating to export controls, particularly multilateral regimes; monitors and seeks to ensure the availability of industrial resources for national defense under the authority of the DPA; analyzes the impact of export controls on strategic industries; and assesses the security consequences for the United States of certain foreign investments. Export Enforcement (EE).—The Export Enforcement program detects and prevents the illegal export of controlled goods and technology. EE investigates and helps sanction violators of U.S. export control, anti-terrorist and public safety laws and regulations; educates the business community to help prevent violations; and administers the Export Administration Act (EAA) (which expired on August 19, 2001, but the provisions of which remain in force under the Inter- 198 BUREAU OF INDUSTRY AND SECURITY—Continued Federal Funds—Continued OPERATIONS AND THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 2006 actual Percent of licenses requiring interagency referral referred within nine days .....................................................................

The Budget includes over $100 million in new investments and program improvements within NOAA aimed at strengthening our knowledge and management of ocean resources in support of the President’s U.S. Ocean Action Plan. Projects to protect valuable habitat include funding for the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument, recently designated by the President, and support for a project to restore over 990 stream miles of habitat for endangered Atlantic salmon and other fish species. The Budget also provides funds to ensure sustainable access to seafood through development of offshore aquaculture opportunities as well as better management of fish harvests. Market-based approaches such as Limited Access Privilege systems (LAPs) that provide exclusive privileges to harvest a quantity of fish move fisheries management away from cumbersome and inefficient regulatory practices and have been shown to lead to lengthened fishing seasons, improved product quality, and safer conditions for fishermen. The Administration has set a goal of doubling the number of LAP systems in use by the year 2010. These goals and projects contribute to the implementa- 200 NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION—Continued Federal Funds—Continued OPERATIONS, RESEARCH, AND FACILITIES—Continued (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)—Continued tion of recently enacted legislation, including the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 and the Marine Debris Research, Prevention, and Reduction Act. New investments in ocean science are aimed at monitoring and better understanding marine ecosystems. Funding is included for ocean observations to move towards an operational ocean monitoring network. Support is also provided for priority research areas, including oceanclimate connections, marine ecosystem responses to natural events and management strategies, and the development of new sensor technologies to monitor marine ecosystem parameters such as harmful algal blooms and marine populations. In addition, funding is provided to continue high priority endeavors, including weather and severe storm prediction, climate change research, and tsunami warning systems. The Budget provides increases for weather forecasting activities to ensure continuing improvements in this important area. The Budget also continues support for development and acquisition of geostationary and polar-orbiting weather satellites to improve weather forecasting and our understanding of the climate. In addition, the Budget funds increases for research on hurricane intensity and Unmanned Aircraft Systems, in order to improve monitoring and forecasting of hurricanes. The Budget funds climate programs that are aligned with the strategic programs of the President’s Climate Change Research Initiative. These include water vapor process research to refine climate models, and the development of an integrated drought early warning and forecast system that will provide earlier and more accurate forecasts of drought conditions. In response to the devastating tsunami that hit Southeast Asia in December 2004, NOAA developed an improved Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System to strengthen tsunami detection and warning for at-risk U.S. communities. The 2008 Budget supports increases for deployment of additional advanced technology deep-ocean buoy stations and tsunami inundation mapping, modeling, and forecast efforts. NOAA executes activities to achieve its mission through the following six line offices: National Ocean Service (NOS).—NOS programs work to promote safe navigation; assess the health of coastal and marine resources and respond to natural- and human-induced threats; and preserve the coastal ocean environment. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).—NMFS programs provide for the management and conservation of the Nation’s living marine resources including fish stocks, marine mammals, and endangered species and their habitats within the United States Exclusive Economic Zone. Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).—OAR programs provide environmental research and technology needed to improve NOAA weather and air quality warnings and forecasts, climate predictions, and marine services. To accomplish these goals, OAR supports a network of scientists in its Federal research laboratories, universities, and cooperative institutes and partnership programs. National Weather Service (NWS).—NWS programs provide timely and accurate meteorological, hydrologic, and oceanographic warnings and forecasts to ensure the safety of the population, mitigate property losses, and improve the economic productivity of the Nation. NWS is also responsible for issuing operational climate forecasts for the United States, which are used by agriculture and other industries. National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS).—NESDIS programs operate environmental polar-orbiting and geostationary satellites and collect and archive global environmental data and information for distribution to private and public sector users. THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 Program Support.—Program Support provides management and administrative support for NOAA, including acquisition and grant administration, budget, accounting functions, and human resources. The Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) provides aircraft and marine data acquisition, fleet repair and maintenance, planning of future fleet modernization, and technical and management support for NOAAwide activities through the NOAA Commissioned Corps. Foreign Fishing Observer Fund.—This fund is financed through collections from foreign vessel owners who fish within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Fund balances can be made available through annual appropriations for use by the Secretary of Commerce to pay the salaries of observers and program support personnel, the costs of data management, and analysis of the observer program. The observers collect scientific information on the foreign seafood catch and monitor compliance with provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. No new appropriations are proposed for this account as unobligated balances are sufficient to provide observer coverage aboard foreign vessels fishing within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. Performance measures.—A more detailed listing of goals, performance measures, and targets is found in the Department’s 2008 Budget Submission.

State and local recipients of this funding will provide matching contributions of at least thirty-three percent of Federal funds. In addition, funds will be available to Tribes that do not require matching dollars. A 2006 Program Assessment Rating Tool analysis found that the program has substantially improved its ability to demonstrate effectiveness. The program has developed performance measures and has demonstrated progress in salmon recovery efforts. However, recovery continues to be slow and the program should be permitted to target funding based on the recovery needs of threatened, endangered, or other sensitive salmon populations. The language proposed here states that the Secretary will establish terms and conditions for the effective use of the funds to help address this concern.

This program provides compensation to commercial fishermen for damages to or loss of fishing gear related to oil and gas exploration, development, and production on the Outer Continental Shelf. The fund is supported by assessments to holders of leases, permits, easements, and rights of way in areas of the Outer Continental Shelf. No new funds are proposed for this account in 2008; remaining unobligated balances are sufficient to carry out this program for the year. This fund was established by Title IV of P.L. 105–83. Twenty percent of the interest earned from this fund is made available to the Department of Commerce. Funds are to be used by Federal, State, private or foreign organizations or individuals to conduct research activities on or relating to the fisheries or marine ecosystems in the North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean. Research priorities and grant requests are reviewed and approved by the North Pacific Research Board with emphasis placed on cooperative research efforts designed to address pressing fishery management or marine ecosystem information needs. f COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT FUND (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS) Employment Summary Identification code 13–5120–0–2–376 2006 actual Direct: 1001 Civilian full-time equivalent employment ..................... 2007 est. 1 2008 est. 1 1 Note.—A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 109–289, Division B, as amended).

These protections encourage innovation and scientific and technical advancement of American industry. PTO also provides technical advice and information to other government agencies on intellectual property matters and the trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights, and assists governments of other countries in establishing regulatory and enforcement mechanisms to meet their international obligations relating to the protection of intellectual property. PTO is funded through fees that are paid for patents and trademarks; the 2008 Budget requests a program level of $1,915 million for PTO and full access for the agency to its fee collections. Legislation restructuring and increasing patent and trademark fees was enacted for 2005 and 2006. The Budget requests an extension of these provisions through 2008. The Administration also plans to submit a legislative proposal to permanently extend these changes beyond 2008. Patent program.—The Patent program grants exclusive rights, for limited times, to inventors for their discoveries. The activities under this program include all functions in the patent application processing pipeline, including the initial administrative examination of patent applications, the processing of patent applications filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty, the formal examination of patent applications to determine the patentability of a claimed invention, the post-examination processing and printing of allowed patents, the review for quality, and the quasi-judicial review in appeal and interference proceedings. Resources requested in 2008 will be used to fund additional patent examiner staff workload; continue the implementation of e-Government to more efficiently process patent applications; competitively source the classification and reclassification functions currently performed by patent examiners; establish a new training program for new hires; implement retention incentives to retain a highly qualified and productive workforce; increase patent workforce telework participation through implementation of a patent ‘‘hoteling’’ program, where employees who telework can reserve time in shared offices on the main PTO campus; and expand bilateral and multilateral agreements to strengthen intellectual property rights globally and reduce duplication of effort among international intellectual property offices.

Patent Efficiency is calculated by dividing the total costs, both direct and indirect, incurred to produce a patent product by the number of product outputs. Trademark program.—The Trademark program provides for the protection of trademarks through Federal registration. The activities under this program include the examination of trademark applications to determine whether the statutory criteria for the Federal registration of a trade or service mark are met. The Office issues notices of allowance and certificates of registration based on a trademark attorney’s determination. The 2008 program level provides resources to fund increased staffing levels, expansion of the trademark work at home program, and expansion of e-Government to achieve a fully electronic workflow in 2008 that will further improve timeliness and productivity.

To carry out its mission, NIST has an intramural research program made up of laboratories and technical programs and national research facilities. NIST also manages the Baldrige National Quality Program. As part of the President’s 10-year American Competitiveness Initiative to significantly increase Federal funding for basic research in the physical sciences, NIST will target $501 million for key investments that promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness including: improving nanotechnology manufacturing capabilities; expanding NIST’s neutron facility to aid in characterizing novel materials in high-growth research fields; addressing technological barriers to hydrogen 211 storage, distribution, and fuel-cell fabrication; and improving our understanding of quantum information science with the potential to dramatically improve computer processing speeds and enable more secure communications. NIST Laboratories: Laboratories and Technical Programs.—These programs develop and disseminate measurement techniques, reference data and materials, test methods, standards, and other infrastructural technologies and services required by U.S. industry. Eight technical subactivities within this program concentrate on measurements and standards work in the following areas: electronics and electrical engineering, manufacturing engineering, chemical science and technology, physics, materials science and engineering, building and fire research, computer science and applied mathematics, and standards and technology services. These programs also include centrally managed activities that provide support to NIST programs, including research to build new capabilities necessary to maintain state-of-the-art knowledge to address measurements and standards opportunities, a nationally competitive postdoctoral research associates program, and computer and business systems support. National Research Facilities.—These include the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) and the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST). As the Nation’s premier neutron research user facility, the NCNR provides an intense source of neutrons used to probe the molecular and atomic structure and dynamics of a wide range of materials. The CNST leverages the unique capabilities of the NIST Advanced Measurement Laboratory complex, providing stateof-the-art facilities for nanomanufacturing and nanometrology where researchers from industry, universities and other Federal laboratories can collaborate in solving critical measurement and fabrication issues necessary to convert nano-discoveries into products. Baldrige National Quality Program.—This program promotes U.S. competitiveness in business, health care, education, and non-profit organizations through performance excellence criteria and other information transfer, and management of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award.

The goal of MEP, a network of centers that provide business support and technical assistance services, is to improve the productivity and competitiveness of small manufacturers. The centers are funded from matching Federal and State or local resources and fees charged for services. ATP, a grant program for businesses that was intended to develop new technologies for commercial use, continues to be proposed for elimination due to the growth of venture capital and other financing sources for high-tech projects. The Administration seeks no new funding for ATP and proposes to terminate the program, using prior year appropriations, in an orderly manner that completes funding of all qualified projects. Performance measures.—Raise the productivity and competitiveness of small manufacturers. Actuals for this performance measure lag at least six months. Therefore, beginning in 2005, NIST shifted to a format in which they report actuals one year later, i.e., 2005 results are reflected in 2006.

Additionally, it manages the Federal Government’s use of the radio frequency spectrum and performs extensive research in telecommunication sciences. Domestic and international policies.—NTIA develops and advocates policies to improve and expand domestic telecommunications services and markets. NTIA provides advice to White House officials, coordinates with other Executive Branch agencies, and participates in relevant Congressional actions and interagency and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proceedings on a host of issues. NTIA advocates the advancement of U.S. priorities in international telecommunications policy and regulatory areas. NTIA will continue to encourage the liberalization of telecommunication regulations now taking hold across the globe that benefit consumers worldwide by enhancing access to information and communications services and create significant opportunities for U.S. enterprises. This work includes an emphasis on the international development of electronic commerce as an essential element of today’s information society. Spectrum management.—NTIA manages the Federal Government’s use of the radio frequency spectrum, both domestically and internationally. In coordination with the FCC and with the advice of the Interdepartmental Radio Advisory Committee (IRAC), NTIA supports the spectrum requirements of the Federal Government, makes plans to satisfy the Government’s future spectrum needs, coordinates Federal spectrum requirements in shared spectrum bands, and develops and implements policy to use the spectrum effectively and efficiently. NTIA strives to identify and apply new spectrum saving technologies and identify adjacent band effects for use by designers of future communications. NTIA also works with the Department of Homeland Security on matters involving emergency communications and Federal Government continuity of operations planning for communications during emergency conditions. Telecommunication sciences research.—NTIA develops improved spectrum measurement techniques to address the increasing use of broadband technologies, including digital signals, spread-spectrum, and frequency agile systems. Additionally, NTIA prepares and coordinates proposed domestic and international telecommunications standards, develops and demonstrates user-friendly ways to assess the performance of industry and Government telecommunications networks, evaluates future technologies that may facilitate competition in the U.S. telecommunications industry, promotes international trade opportunities for U.S. telecommunications firms and improves the cost effectiveness of Government telecommunications use. Activities under this account support Commerce’s strategic goal of fostering science and technological leadership by protecting intellectual property, enhancing technical standards, and advancing measurement science. Performance measures.—A detailed presentation of performance measures and targets is found in the Department’s 2008 Budget Submission. While the program fulfills a unique role through management of the Federal Spectrum, and is important in advancing the President’s Spectrum Policy Initiative, it faces challenges measuring performance outcomes.

The Act specifies that recovered spectrum, aside from 24 megahertz dedicated public safety use, will be auctioned by the Federal Communications Commission in 2008 and identifies the distribution of revenue for deficit reduction and program purposes as identified below. Receipts exceeding amounts specified for authorized programs will be returned to the general fund of the Treasury. The Act also provides borrowing authority to the Department of Commerce to commence specified programs prior to the availability of auction receipts. Amounts borrowed from the Treasury will be returned without interest upon the availability of auction revenue. Digital-to-Analog Converter Box Program.—To assist consumers during the transition from analog to digital television, coupons will be provided upon request, to a maximum of two per qualifying household, to be used to offset the cost of digital-to-analog television converter boxes. Coupons may be requested between January 1, 2008, and March 31, 2009, and will expire three months after issuance. Public Safety Interoperable Communications.—Grants will be provided in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security to public safety agencies to assist efforts to make their communications systems interoperable, meaning capable of sharing voice and data signals on the radio spectrum. Public safety agencies are required to provide, from non-Federal sources, not less than twenty percent of the costs of acquiring and deploying the interoperable communications systems funded under this program. The Call Home Act of 2006 requires that the grants be awarded no later than September 30, 2007, subject to the receipt of qualified applications. New York City 9/11 Digital Transition.—Assistance will be provided to the Metropolitan Television Alliance of New York City for the design and deployment of a temporary digital television broadcast system until a permanent facility atop the planned Freedom Tower is constructed. Assistance to Low-Power Television Stations.—Eligible lowpower television stations may receive compensation toward the cost of purchase of a digital-to-analog conversion device, and may receive reimbursement to upgrade their television signals from analog to digital format. National Alert and Tsunami Warning Program.—A national alert system will be implemented upon availability of auction receipts, using a variety of communications technologies, that is capable of alerting the public to emergency situations, including tsunamis and coastal vulnerability. Title VI of the SAFE Port Act of 2006 specified further the use of funds in this program, and requires that public and educational broadcasters modify their towers to enable the distribution of targeted alerts by commercial mobile services providers; the establishment of a research program to support the development of technologies to increase the number of commercial mobile service devices that receive emergency alerts; and the establishment of a grant program for outdoor alerting technologies in remote communities to enable receipt of emergency alerts. These programs are to be administered in partnership with specified agencies, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the Department of Commerce, as well as the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Homeland Security. ENHANCE 911.—Funds will be used to implement the ENHANCE 911 Act of 2004, which created a joint effort of the Department of Commerce and the Department of Transportation to assist State and local governments in providing caller location idenification capabilities for emergency 911 services, and established a matching grant program for that purpose.
