AFTERNOON COMMUNICATIONS BRIEFING - February 27, 2017 white house logo AFTERNOON COMMUNICATIONS BRIEFING Feb. 27, 2017 OF THE DAY Preview Of the President?s Address to a Joint Session Of congress 0 One by one, President Trump has been checking offthe promises he made to the American people. He?s doing what he said he was going to do. 0 In Tuesday night?s speech, he will lay out an optimistic vision forthe country that crosses the traditional lines of party, race and socioeconomic status. It will invite Americans of all backgrounds to come together in the service of a stronger, brighter future for our nation. 0 All Americans share a desire for safe communities for themselves and their families. All Americans want their children to have access to good schools. And all Americans deserve good jobs that allow them to prosper and OMB-American Oversight?000157 and dream. For fartoo many people ?the forgotten men and women? these fundamental desires have been out of reach for too long. 0 The President will lay out the concrete steps he has already taken to make the American Dream possible for all of our people. He will talk about how he wants to work with Congress to pass a bold agenda. That will include: 0 Tax and regulatory reform to get relief to hardworking Americans and American businesses. Making the workplace better for working parents. Saving American families from the disaster of Obamacare. Making sure every child in America has access to a good education. A great rebuilding of the American military. 0 Fulfilling our commitments to our veterans and making sure they have access to the care they need. It will be a speech addressed to ALL Americans AS Americans?not to a coalition of special interests and minor issues. Americans can expect a speech that is grounded ?rmly in solving real problems for real people. How can we make sure that every American who needs a good job can get one? How can we get kids who are trapped in failing schools into a better school? How we can keep gangs and drugs and violent crime out of their neighborhoods? The President will reach out to Americans living in the poorest and most vulnerable communities, and let them know that help is on the way. . He will also speak to the daily challenges ofthe Middle Class. 0 He will look to the future and talk about what we can achieve if we come together. Finally, he will call on Congress to act. He is eager to partner with lawmakers to fix our problems and build on this renewed American spirit. 0000 The President?s Budget 0 The President?s first budget will be submitted to Congress on March The American people elected the President to prioritize their security, and that is exactly what he will do. 0 This budget provides for one ofthe largest increases in defense spending without increasing the debt. 0 There will be a $54 billion increase in defense spending in Fiscal Year 2018, in addition to $30 billion in supplemental spending for the current fiscal year. I This funding is vital. We must devote this money to protect the country. 0 We will also increase funding for our veterans, secure our border, and fund our other priorities. We are a nation that soon will be $20 trillion in debt, so prioritizing ?nancial security is as important as protecting our nation?s physical security. 0 Families all across America have made tough choice in recent years over tradeoffs about what they can and cannot afford, but the federal government has continued to spend taxpayer dollars without pause. The President has instructed his Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to write a budget that rebuilds our nation's military, while also making tough choices for the American people. 0 This budget will insist on $54 billion in cuts to nondefense programs. The so-called ??rewall? that protects lesser priorities from being used to pay for defense increases must go. 0 Foreign aid to other countries will be cut deeply. It is time to prioritize the security ofthis country and ask the rest of the world to step up and pay their fair share. 0 Many government agencies will also experience cuts. 0 These cuts will be sensible, they will be rational, but they will be tough. That is what the moment calls for, and the President looks forward to engaging the Congress in passing his first security budget. Anti-Semitic Attacks Against Jewish Community Centers and Cemeteries The President is deeply concerned by the reports of further vandalism at Jewish cemeteries. The cowardly destruction in Philadelphia this weekend comes on top of similar accounts from Missouri, and threats made to Jewish Community Centers across the country last week. 0 The President continues to condemn these and any other anti?Semitic and hateful acts in the strongest terms. 0 From our country?s founding, we have been dedicated to protecting freedom of religion. No one in America should feel afraid to freely and openly follow the religion of their choosing. White House Relationship with the Media OMB-American Oversight?000158 and OMB-17-O119-B-000002 0 Every time the media turns themselves into the story, the American people among whom trust in the media remains near historical lows roll their eyes. 0 The truth is that this was simply a gaggle not a full brie?ng in a smaller space, and the pool was there to share what was said with their peers. The entire gaggle was also transcribed. 0 Background: A press pool is a rotating group ofjournalists from subscribing news organizations that pool resources and produce reports for all members to draw from in their reporting. 0 Further, we actually allowed more press in than usual for pooled events. 0 We could have Kept it to the smaller pool, but instead expanded it as much as allowed by the space in the Press Secreta ry?s of?ce. 0 It?s completely false to suggest that outlets were "blocked." The media was represented by the pool, as it is in all situations when space or other factors limit the amount of press able to access an event. False CNN Reporting 0 The headlines and talking heads are completely ignoring the facts ofthis situation. 0 The conversation, which centered entirely around the false New York Times report and was not related to any investigation, was initiated by the FBI, not the White House. 0 Some reports have indicated communications between White House staff and the FBI might be inappropriate according to previous practice. However, those restrictions do not apply to conversations of public affairs. The Deputy Director ofthe FBI reached out, on his own, to the White House Chief of Staff to let him know that the New York Times report regarding contact between Russia and the Trump campaign was inaccurate. There was no "pressure? exerted on the FBI to push back on the story. I It was the logical next step for the Chief of Staff to ask, once told that the story was false, what could be done to correct the record. 0 The FBI said it would be appropriate forthe Chief of Staff to say publicly that he had been briefed by intelligence officials at the highest level regarding the inaccuracy ofthe report. 0 Quote from the Chief of Staff: have talked to the highest levels of intelligence officials, and they have assured me that the New York Times story about constant contacts is grossly overstated and inaccurate. So I wouldn't come on your show and say something like that ifl didn't have a green light and approval to say it. It's not true.? Fox Friends (FNC), 2/17/17 0 Just because reporters and anchors say something over and over again doesn?t start to make it true. At some point, we get to a place where we have to move on and focus on the things that the American people actually care about. This has been asked and answered, let?s move forward. ObamaCare ObamaCare has delivered Americans an unsustainable health care system with out of control premiums, rising deductibles and dwindling choices. 0 Nancy Pelosi cited three critical fronts on which ObamaCare's success should be judged: lowering costs, expanding benefits, and increasing access. The law has completely failed all three. 0 Costs: I Under ObamaCare, the American people face rising premiums, unaffordable deductibles, fewer insurance choices, and higher taxes to pay for skyrocketing costs. I This year, the average premium for ObamaCare insurance plans in all four tiers (bronze, silver, gold, platinum) are facing a double-digit increase. 0 Expanding Benefits: I Obamacare's mandates have led to mass cancellations of coverage, soaring out of pocket costs, and enrollment ?gures declining as millions choose to pay a tax over buying government mandated insurance. 0 Increased Access: I As insurers leave the marketplace, Americans are left with fewer insurance choices, with 17% having only one insurer option available in their exchange. I The ObamaCare Co-Op program has failed, with 16 of 23 co-ops having failed and gone out of business. We are con?dent that once Americans see the choice between this failed system that has had two terms under the last president to deliver but has been unable to and another choice for a patient-centered plan that will return choice to the American consumer, both with insurers and doctors, and bring back down costs from where they have skyrocketed to, they will support our effort to repeal and responsibly replace ObamaCare. New Extreme Vetting E0 OMB-American Oversight?000159 and 0 As the President said at his press conference, we?ll be issuing a new executive action that will comprehensively protect our country. 0 The new executive order is being finalized - what we are doing now is running it through the different departments and agencies to ensure that it is executed in a ?awless manner. 0 This is not a matter of delaying, it?s a matter of getting it right. 0 The court which made the misguided decision on the President?s initial executive order had its decisions reversed by the Supreme Court a remarkable 79% between 2010 and 2015. POTUS SCHEDULE Drop-by National Governors Association Meeting Listening Session with Health Insurance Company CEOs Lunch with Vice President and UN Ambassador Meeting with Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader Meeting with Secretary of State ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND ON RECENT NEWS Liberal Activists at Town Halls 0 Every American has a right to speak his or her mind at town halls or other events, and we respect that. 0 Reports of lawmakers distancing themselves from the President are overblown and exaggerated. In a recent poll, 70% of Americans (including most Democrats) wanted Democrats in Washington to work with our Administration, not protest and oppose us at all turns. A vocal minority doesn?t represent the majority. Reporting on the Yemen Raid 0 Every American owes Ryan Owens and his family a great deal of gratitude. He will always be remembered as an American hero who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of his country. It is standard operating procedure at the Department of Defense that, anytime there is a fatality on an operation, an investigation known as a 15-6 is triggered. It can take several months to complete and a redacted version is available to the public under FOIA. White House Correspondent?s Dinner 0 POTUS Tweet: I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening! 0 The President?s tweet speaks for itself. He wishes everyone who is attending well but will not be attending himself. The event was originally created for promoting scholarships for young journalists. It?s lost that focus entirely and become just another chance for the dishonest media and professional Washington to celebrate themselves. DHS Implementation Memos Top Line: . Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kelly issued two memoranda to the DHS workforce providing direction for implementing two of the President?s executive orders: ?Border Security and Immigration Improvement? and ?Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior ofthe United States." 0 These memos ensure that all DHS employees are intimately familiar with how to implement the President's executive orders, key stakeholders are in the loop and the public is well informed on the facts. 0 These memos, along with fact sheets and documents, are easily accessible by both DHS staff and the general public at This page will continue to be updated as appropriate. 0 Ultimately, these memos direct DHS staffto faithfully execute the immigration laws ofthe United States and provide them with the appropriate resources to do so. 0 Speci?c questions about these memos can be referred to DHS. OMB-American Oversight?000160 and Border Security and Immig ration Improvement Memo: . This memo outlines how DHS will comply with the President?s executive order by deploying all lawful means to secure the nation's southern border, prevent further illegal immigration into the United States, and to repatriate illegal immigrations swiftly, consistently, and humanely. This memo does not affect DACA recipients. Key policies in this memo include: 0 Establishing operational control of the border, including a physical barrier Detaining illegal immigrants at our near the border Ending the practice of ?catch and release? Hiring 5,000 additional border agents Empowering state and local law enforcement to support federal enforcement of immigration law Ensuring prosecution guidelines place a high priority on crimes near our southern border Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States Memo: This memo addresses enforcement and removal of those who illegally enter or remain in the United States, particularly those who engage in criminal conduct while here. 0 Key policies in this memo include: 0 Establishing the Victims of Immig ration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Of?ce within ICE to facilitate engagement with the victims and their families to ensure, to the extent permitted by law, they are provided with information about the offender, and that their additional questions and concerns regarding immigration enforcement efforts are addressed. 0 Hiring 10,000 ICE agents and officers, as well as additional mission support and legal staff necessary 0 Establishing a program to collect all fines and penalties for which the Department is authorized 0 Facilitating the collection and reporting of data on the apprehensions and release of illegal immigrations Appointment of Lieutenant General Herbert Raymond McMaster to serve as Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Top Line: 0 General McMaster known by his nickname, ?The Iconoclast General" -- brings overthree decades of experience to the post of National Security Advisor. 0 The President?s first duty is to keep the American people safe. General McMaster has the knowledge and foresight necessary to provide the President with expert advice as he protects America's interests at home and abroad. 0 BIOS 0 General McMaster is a graduate of West Point and earned both his Masters of Arts and degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. 0 During his overthree decades in the United States Army, General McMaster gained renown for his roles in the Gulf War, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom. 0 He was a Captain in the Battle of 73 Easting, a critical engagement during which outnumbered American forces took advantage of superior military equipment and the element of surprise to destroy over 80 Iraqi Republican Guard vehicles without a single loss. 0 While serving during the Iraq War, General McMaster ran the model for the successful "clear, hold, and build? counterinsurgency method in the town of Tal Afar, a strategy credited with turning the war around during the surge. 0 General McMaster earned the Silver Star for his valor during the Gulf War. Quote from President Trump: 0 ?General McMaster has served with distinction in the United States Army for over three decades and will now bring that tremendous experience with him to his new post as my National Security Advisor. My ?rst duty as President is to keep the American people safe. General McMaster has the knowledge and foresight necessary to provide me with expert advice as we work to protect America?s interests at home and abroad. I am pleased to welcome him to our team.? Quote from General McMaster: OMB-American Oversight?000161 and OMB-17-0119-B-000005 am honored to serve as President Trump?s National Security Advisor. The safety ofthe American people and security of the American homeland are ourtop priorities. I will work tirelessly in this new role to assist the President as he addresses the complex and growing threats our country is facing around the globe." President Trump Inherited a Mess 0 During his press conference on Thursday, President Trump explained that he "inherited a As you know, our administration inherited many problems across government, and across the economy." Here are the facts: Economy 0 The economy grew by just 1.6 percent last year, and President Obama did not have a single year of 3+ percent economic growth. 0 President Obama was the first president since Herbert Hooverto not have at least one year of economic growth of 3 percent or higher. 0 Wage growth was stagnant under President Obama. The median U.S. hourly wage only increased by 34 cents, or 1.8 percent while he was in office. Salaries and benefits rose just 2.2 percent. 0 The nation lost over 200,000 manufacturing jobs under President Obama. 0 The homeownership rate decreased under President Obama and hit a five-decade low last year. 0 On President Obama?s watch, the national debt increased by over 88 percent, a total of $9.3 trillion. . Healthcare 0 Obamacare is a mess, with higher costs and fewer choices. 0 Premiums for Obamacare?s mid-level ?Silver? plans are increasing by an average of 25 percent this year, coming on top of the 7.5 percent increase for 2016. Lower level ?Bronze? plans are facing premium increases of 21 percent this year. As many as 8.4 million Americans will see a sharp rise in premiums this year, according to HHS. Deductibles are rising, so consumers have to pay more before their insurance even kicks in. Taxpayers are paying billions for skyrocketing premium subsidies. 0 Foreign Policy 0 The Obama administration's foreign policy left the world in disorder: from the disastrous nuclear deal with Iran to the failed Russian reset to the humanitarian crisis in Syria. 0 According to former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, there are more safe havens for terrorists ?than at any time in history.? 0 President Obama failed to foresee and counterthe rise of ISIS, which he famously called a Team.? 0 North Korea became a more dangerous threat to their region and the world. Disunity 0 Race relations deteriorated under President Obama, with polls showing that ?both blacks and whites believe race relations have deteriorated.?

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?000169 and OMB-17-O119-B-000013 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?000170 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OMB-American Oversight?000171 and OMB-17-O119-B-000015 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?000172 and OMB-17-O119-B-000016 OMB-American Oversight?000173 and OMB-17-O119-B-000017 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?000176 and OMB-17-0119-B-000020 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes.

OM B-American Oversight?000177 and OMB-17-O119-B-000021 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?000178 and OMB-17-O119-B-000022 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?000179 and OMB-17-O119-B-000023 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program.

Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OMB-American Oversight?000181 and OMB-17-0119-B-000025 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OM B-American Oversight?000182 and OMB-17-O119-B-000026 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property.

OM B-American Oversight?000183 and OMB-17-O119-B-000027 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?000184 and OMB-17-O119-B-000028 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OM B-American Oversight?000185 and OMB-17-O119-B-000029 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level.

The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase.

The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs.

In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes.

This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system.

Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system.

Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OM B-American Oversight?000194 and OMB-17-O119-B-000038 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPIVIENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, 21 savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level.

The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs while supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessarj,r or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DUI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DUI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. OM B-American Oversight?000196 and 28 OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self?determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration proiects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground. system? as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and naturai hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression. expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States.

The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient- The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the Nation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration- The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?000198 and OMB-17-O119-B-000042 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats. Combats illegal entry and unlawful presence in the United States by providing an increase of nearly $80 million, or 19 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level to hire 75 additional immigration judge teams to bolster and more ef?ciently adjudicate removal proceedings?- hringing the totai number of funded immigration judge teams to 449. Enhances border security and immigration enforcement by providing 60 additional border enforcement prosecutors and 40 deputy U.S. Marshals for the apprehension, transportation, and prosecution of criminal aliens. Supports the addition of 20 attorneys to pursue Federal efforts to obtain the land and holdings necessary to secure the Southwest border and another 20 attorneys and support staff for immigration litigation assistance. Assures the safety of the public and law enforcement of?cers by providing $171 million above the 2017 annualized CR level for additional short?term detention space to hold Federal detainees, including criminal aliens, parole violators, and other offenders awaiting trial or sentencing. Safeguards Federal grants to State, local, and tribal law enforcement and victims of crime to ensure greater safety for law enforcement personnel. and the people they serve. Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the BulletproofVest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight. By increasing quarterly ?ling fees, the total estimated United States Trustee Program offsetting receipts would reach $289 million in 2018. OM B-American Oversight?000199 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-000043 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR The Department of Labor fosters the welfare of wage earners, job seekers, and retirees by safeguarding their working conditions, bene?ts, and wages. With the need to rebuild the Na tion?s military Without increasing the de?cit, this Budget focuses the Department of Labor on its highest priority functions and disinvests in activities that are duplicative, unnecessary, unproven, or ineffective.

The President?s 2018 Budget: Expands Reemployment and Eligibility Assessments, an evidence?based activity that saves an average of $536 per claimant in unemployment insurance bene?t costs by reducing improper payments and getting claimants back to work more quickly and at higher wages. Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), for a savings of $434 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low?income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one?third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shitting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers.

The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and lVIigration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?govermnental relief organizations to become more efficient and effective. Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. linproves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef? forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex. Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to c01n1nitments Inade by the previous administration.

This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak, to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options Within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its Statens upported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program {New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates fun ding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level- OM B-American Oversight-000204 and OMB-17-O119-B-000048 36 OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts.

OMB-American Oversight?000209 and OMB-17-O119-B-000053 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health- The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?000210 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border.

The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation offuturc US. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates newr opportunities for collaboration With industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System. by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-S, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-000212 and OMB-17-O119-B-000056 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth?Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants.

All years referenced for economic data are calendar years unless otherwise noted. All years referenced for budget data are ?scal years unless otherwise noted. 2. At the time of this writing, only one of the annual appropria- tions bills for 2017 had been enacted (the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act), as well as the Further Continuing and Security Assistance Appropriations Act, which provided 2017 discretionary funding for certain Department of Defense accounts; therefore, the programs provided for in the remaining 2017 annual appropriations bills were operating un? der a continuing resolution (Public Law 114-223, division C, as amended). For these programs, references to 2017 spending in the text and tables reflect the levels provided by the continuing resolution. 3. Details in the tables may not add to the totals due to rounding. 4. Web address: http:/ OM B-American Oversight?000280 and AMERICA FIRST Beginning a New Chapter of AInerican Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget of the United States. Accordingly, I submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizens?a Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter of American greatness. A budget that puts America ?rst must make the safety of our people its number one prioritym because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint. To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides for one of the largest increases in defense spending without increasing the debt; signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi- gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Border Patrol; increases funding to address violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and puts America ?rst by keeping more of America?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding of our Nation?s military without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when called upon to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the world?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting Violent offenders behind bars. OM B-American Oversight?000281 and OMB-17-O119-B-000125 The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well-being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look forward to engaging the Congress and enacting this America First Budget. Donald J. Trump OM B-American Oversight?000282 and OMB-17-O119-B-000126 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is why you will ?nd here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes, and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty, this Budget makes security priority one. It does so while meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget while paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion. national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. American families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time Washington does the same. Mick Mulvaney OM B-American Oversight?000283 and OMB-17-O119-B-000127 OMB-American Oversight?000284 and OMB-17-O119-B-000128 MAJOR AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full ?scal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one ofhis top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with commonsense regulatory, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter?American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment Corporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking bold action now to make GOVernment Work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a lon g?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on March 13, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will be required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen. Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s Management Agenda will set goals in areas that are critical to im- proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersccurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly performing organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high-quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. We will use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government-wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions. OM B-American Oversight?000287 and OMB-17-O119-B-000131 As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while holding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB will review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low?value requirements. . Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high-performing program results and services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. deSpite years of efforts to improve these critical management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. MANAGEMENT deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu? tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills, and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will also regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is OM B-American Oversight?000288 and OMB-17-O119-B-000132 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and ef?cient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost?effective manner, and often have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for yearsw?even if they made sense at the time-?have gone unexamined and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s Chief of Staff issued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. . Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. It also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of all new regulations be no greater than For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi?cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. . Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the re as on the President signed Executive Order 1377 7 ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities. These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?000289 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-000133 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef- forts to repeal, replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a widely rec? ognized and bi?partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? ?When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women of America. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs within OMB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and successfully implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?000290 and OMB-17-O119-B-000134 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long?term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities while streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $17 .9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in-plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (W10). W10 provides grants to States for sup- plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low?income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. 0 Continues to support farmer-focused research and extension partnerships at land-grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in?house research funding Within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight-000291 and OMB-17-O119-B-000135 12 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc- es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re? ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OM B-American Oversight?000292 and OMB-17-O119-B-000136 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $7 .8 billion for the Department of Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func- tions, including the anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $1.5 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. 0 Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration Within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US. Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, which provides small grants with lim? ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US. Department of Agriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OM B-American Oversight?000293 and OMB-17-O119-B-000137 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, local, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship includ? ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. aves $124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended when the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu? cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. Maintains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint Polar Satellite System and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters with critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides additional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. Maintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote ef?cient and effective operations. Continues to support the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (N TIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stakeholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera tion wireless services by funding mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OM B?American Oversight?000294 and DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, while providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of national defense cuts since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 2021, relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a ful?llment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of $587 billion. This increase alone exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat, the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 15 OM B?American Oversight-000295 and 16 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital? ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip- ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace. As the world has become more dangerous"? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technology, and the expansion of terrorism?our military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor- ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget re?ects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the ?eet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges of the 21St Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is now the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated state actors and transnational terrorist groups. OM B-American Oversight?000296 and OMB-17-O119-B-000140 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students with disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission while lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department of Education, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student- based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides States, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special education and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with. scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of$1.2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. 17 OM B-American Oversight-000297 and 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well- targeted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for communities that are often un derserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported with State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OM B-American Oversight?000298 and OMB-17-O119-B-000142 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY The Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic ob?growth in the near to mid?term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Administration?s strong support for the United States? nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOE, a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Government?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. - Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program because 19 OM B-American Oversight-000299 and OMB-17-O119-B-000143 20 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Of?ce of Energy Ef?ciency and Renewable Energy, the Of?ce of Nuclear Energy, the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the Fossil Energy Research and Development program on limited, early?stage applied energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is stronger. In addition, the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State?level energy policy and implementation. Collectively, these changes achieve a savings of approximately $2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level? Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cybersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help harden and evolve critical grid infrastructure that the American people and the economy rely upon. Continues the necessary research, development, and construction to support the Navy?s current nuclear ?eet and enhance the capabilities of the future ?eet. OM B-American Oversight?000300 and OMB-17-O119-B-000144 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well?being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. In addition, it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well?being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long-term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 21st Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-income and vulnerable populations. 0 Strengthens the integrity and sustainability of Medicare and Medicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay-and?chase? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the HCFAC account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014-2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. 0 Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. 21 OM B-American Oversight-000301 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015, has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pre-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructures similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s mental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States Where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs Within the Of?ce of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), a savings of $4.2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower-impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited-impact program. OM B-American Oversight?000302 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-000146 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a vital mission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in- frastructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the ?ow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally. 0 Enhances enforcement of immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B?American Oversight-000303 OMB-17-O112-B and 24 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E?Verify Program, an internet?based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to reCOVer 7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pre?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal Government is not supplanting other stakeholders? responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent non?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost-sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized and underperforming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo? cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op? erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OM B-American Oversight?000304 and OMB-17-O119-B-000148 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) promotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities. This Budget re?ects the President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility While supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low-income and vulnerable households and help work-eligible families achieve self-sufficiency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re- duce costs While continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well-targeted to the poorest populations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes ?scal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead?based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OM B-American Oversight?000305 and 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, a savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program is duplicative of efforts funded by philanthropy and other more ?exible private sector investments. Supports homeownership through provision of Federal Housing Administration mortgage insur? ance programs. OMB-American Oversight?000306 and OMB-17-O119-B-00015O DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (D01) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and U.S.?af?liated island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs While supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessary or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DOI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry With access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. - Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue, which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. 0 Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DOI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. 27 OM B-American Oversight-000307 and OMB-17-O119-B-000151 28 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self-determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration projects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground system, as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and natural hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10-year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States. Supports counties through discretionary funding for the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program at a reduced level, but in line with average funding for PILT over the past decade. OM B-American Oversight?000308 and OMB-17-O119-B-000152 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE The Department of Justice is charged with enforcing the laws and defending the interests of the United States, ensuring public safety against foreign and domestic threats, providing Federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime, seeking just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior, and ensuring the fair and impartial administration of ustice for all Americans. The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient. The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the ation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However, signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and Will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $61 million. more to ?ght terrorism and combat foreign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearms purchase background checks, and develop and refine evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun-related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight-000309 and 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys with law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats. Combats illegal entry and unlawful presence in the United States by providing an increase of nearly $80 million, or 19 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level to hire 75 additional immigration judge teams to bolster and more ef?ciently adjudicate removal proceedings-- bringing the total number of funded immigration judge teams to 449. Enhances border security and immigration enforcement by providing 60 additional border enforcement prosecutors and 40 deputy US. Marshals for the apprehension, transportation, and prosecution of criminal. aliens. Supports the addition of 20 attorneys to pursue Federal efforts to obtain the land and holdings necessary to secure the Southwest border and another 20 attorneys and support staff for immigration litigation assistance. Assures the safety of the public and law enforcement of?cers by providing $171 million above the 2017 annualized CR level for additional short-term detention space to hold Federal detainees, including criminal aliens, parole violators, and other offenders awaiting trial or sentencing. Safeguards Federal grants to State, local, and tribal law enforcement and victims of crime to ensure greater safety for law enforcement personnel and the people they serve. Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the Bulletproof Vest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two-thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2013. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 2017 annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy??ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight. By increasing quarterly ?ling fees, the total estimated United States Trustee Program offsetting receipts would reach $289 million in 2018. OM B-American Oversight?000310 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-000154 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR The Department of Labor fosters the welfare of wage earners, job seekers, and retirees by safeguarding their working conditions, bene?ts, and wages. With the need to rebuild the Nation?s military without increasing the de?cit. this Budget focuses the Department of Labor on its highest priority functions and disinvests in activities that are duplicative, unnecessary, unproven, or ineffective. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $9.6 billion for the Department of Labor, a $2.5 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Expands Reemployment and Eligibility Assessments, an evidence-based activity that saves an average of $538 per claimant in unemployment insurance bene?t costs by reducing improper payments and getting claimants back to work more quickly and at higher wages. Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), for a savings of $434 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low-income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one-third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shifting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers. Helps States expand apprenticeship, an evidence-based approach to preparing workers for jobs. 31 OM B?American Oversight-000311 and 32 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Refocuses the Of?ce of Disability Employment Policy, eliminating less critical technical assistance grants and launching an early intervention demonstration project to allow States to test and evaluate methods that help individuals with disabilities remain attached to or reconnect to the labor market.

Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Department of the Treasury?s International Programs help to advance the national security interests of the United States by building a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world. The Budget for the Department of State and USAID diplomatic and development activities is being refocused on priority strategic objectives and renewed attention is being placed on the appropriate US. share of international spending. In addition, the Budget seeks to reduce or end direct funding for international organizations whose missions do not substantially advance US. foreign policy interests, are duplicative, or are not well-managed. Additional steps will be taken to make the Department and USAID leaner, more ef?cient, and more effective. These steps to reduce foreign assistance free up funding for critical priorities here at home and put America ?rst. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $25.6 billion in base funding for the Department of State and USAID, a $10.1 billion or 28 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level.

Consistent with the Benghazi Accountability Review Board recom- mendation, the Budget applies $2.2 billion toward new embassy construction and maintenance in 2018. Maintaining adequate embassy security levels requires the ef?cient and effective use of available resources to keep embassy employees safe. Provides $3.1 billion. to meet the security assistance commitment to Israel, currently at an all- time high; ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats and maintain its Qualitative Military Edge. Eliminates the Global Climate Change Initiative and ful?lls the President?s pledge to cease payments to the United Nations? (UN) climate change programs by eliminating US. funding related to the Green Climate Fund and its two precursor Climate Investment Funds. 0 Provides suf?cient resources on a path to ful?ll the $1 billion US. pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This commitment helps support Gavi to vaccinate hundreds of millions of children in low?resource countries and save millions of lives. OM B?American Oversight-000313 and 34 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS Provides suf?cient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on treatment under the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and maintains funding for malaria programs. The Budget also meets U.S. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. 0 Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American-made weaponry with US. assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib? ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. 0 Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu? gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas while asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internationn a1 and non?governmental relief organizations to become more ef?cient and effective. 0 Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (ECE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. 0 Improves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef- forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. 0 Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. 0 Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to commitments made by the previous administration. Even with the proposed decreases, the US. would retain its current status as a top donor while saving taxpayer dollars. OM B-American Oversight?000314 and OMB-17-O119-B-000158 3- &6 OF (g 0 TM Nous DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION The Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for ensuring a fast, safe, ef?cient, accessible, and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people today, and into the future. The Budget request re?ects a streamlined DOT that is focused on performing vital Federal safety oversight functions and investing in nationally and regionally signi?cant transportation infrastructure projects. The Budget reduces or eliminates programs that are either inef?cient, duplicative of other Federal efforts, or that involve activities that are better delivered by States, localities, or the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $16.2 billion for discretionary budget, a $2.4 billion or 13 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: - Initiates a multi?year reauthorization proposal to shift the air traf?c control function of the Federal Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization, making the system more ef?cient and innovative while maintaining safety. This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its State-supported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program (New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates funding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 0., DI OM B-American Oversight-000315 and 36 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, Which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts. This grant program is authorized at an annual average of $900 million through 2020. OM B-American Oversight?000316 and OMB-17-O119-B-00016O DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY The Department of the Treasury is charged with maintaining a strong economy, promoting conditions that enable economic growth and stability, protecting the integrity of the ?nancial system, and managing the US. Government?s ?nances and resources effectively. The Budget will bring renewed discipline to the Department by focusing resources on collecting revenue, managing the Nation?s debt, protecting the ?nancial system from threats, and combating ?nancial crime and terrorism ?nancing. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $12.1 billion in discretionary resources for the Department of the Treasury?s domestic programs, a $519 million or 4.1 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. The President?s 2018 Budget: Preserves key operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that the IRS could continue to combat identity theft, prevent fraud, and reduce the de?cit through the effective enforcement and administration of taX laws. Diverting resources from antiquated operations that are still reliant on paper-based review in the era of electronic taX ?ling would achieve sig? ni?cant savings, a funding reduction of $239 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity by investing in a Department-wide plan to strategically enhance existing security systems and preempt fragmentation of information technology management across the bureaus, positioning Treasury to anticipate and nimbly respond in the event of a cyberattack. Prioritizes funding for Treasury?s array of economic enforcement tools. Key Treasury programs that freeze the accounts of terrorists and proliferators, implement sanctions on rogue nations, and link law enforcement agencies with ?nancial institutions are critical to the continued safety and ?nancial stability of the Nation. Eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund grants, a savings of $210 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The CDFI Fund was created more than 20 years ago to jump?start a now mature industry where private institutions have ready access to the capital needed to extend credit and provide ?nancial services to underserved communities. 37 OM B-American Oversight-000317 and OMB-17-O119-B-000161 38 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Empowers the Treasury Secretary, as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, to end taxpayer bailouts and foster economic growth by advancing ?nancial regulatory reforms that promote market discipline and ensure the accountability of ?nancial regulators. Shrinks the Federal workforce and increases its ef?ciency by redirecting resources away from duplicative policy of?ces to staff that manage the Nation?s ?nances. OMB-American Oversight?000318 and OMB-17-O119-B-000162 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care and a wide variety of bene?ts to military veterans and their survivors. The 2018 Budget ful?lls the President?s commitment to the Nation?s veterans by requesting the resources necessary to provide the support our veterans have earned through sacri?ce and service to our Nation. The Budget signi?cantly increases funding for VA Medical Care so that VA can continue to meet the ever?growing demand for health care services while building an integrated system of care that strengthens services within VA and makes effective use of community services. The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible Veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase from the 2017 enacted level. The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro? vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad range of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action, this criti- cal program will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at-risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. . Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OM B-American Oversight-000319 and OMB-17-O119-B-000163 40 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans? disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im? prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid the costs of maintaining outdated, inef?cient systems. OM B-American Oversight?000320 and OMB-17-O119-B-000164 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA reflects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation?s environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers without justi?able environmental bene?ts. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21SE Century. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, 3 savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health. The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, 21 $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, while providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce of Enforcement 41 OM B-American Oversight?000321 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-000165 42 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, which is $129 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 0RD would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities; such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the Mexico Border. OM B-American Oversight?000322 and OMB-17-O119-B-000166 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth-centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for NASA, a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation of future U.S. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates new opportunities for collaboration with industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep?space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi-billion-dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi-billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities ofthe science and applications communities, a savings 0f$102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-000323 and OMB-17-O119-B-000167 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth-Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science Mission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency. Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration mission to reduce its cost and better position it to support a nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in a savings of $88 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safeguarding critical systems and data. OM B-American Oversight?000324 and OMB-17-O119-B-000168 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive US. competitiveness, and help grow the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants while achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports over $1 billion in disaster relieflending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi- ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro? mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. Maintains $28 million in microloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength- en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups. Allows SBA to advocate and assist small businesses in accessing Federal contracts and small business research opportunities Government?wide.

I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?000344 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more With less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Almericans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look fhrward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America, .F?irst Budget. Donald J. Trump OMB-American Oversight?000345 and OMB-17-O119-B-000189 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?000346 and OMB-17-O119-B-000190 OMB-American Oversight?000347 and OMB-17-O119-B-000191 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?000350 and OMB-17-O119-B-000194 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?000351 and OMB-17-O119-B-000195 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?000352 and OMB-17-0119-B-000196 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?000353 and OMB-17-O119-B-000197 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight?000354 and OMB-17-O119-B-000198 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OM B-American Oversight?000355 and OMB-17-0119-B-000199 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OM B-American Oversight?000356 and OMB-17-O119-B-000200 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides ad ditional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth. orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. lVIaintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote efficient and effective operaticms. Continues to support the Nationai Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stalieholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera- tion Wireless services by funding N?TliA?s mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OM B-American Oversight?000357 and OMB-17-O119-B-000201 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?000358 and OMB-17-O119-B-000202 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OM B-American Oversight?000359 and OMB-17-O119-B-000203 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides Stat-es, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special. education. and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion. from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. OM B-American Oversight-000360 and OMB-17-O119-B-000204 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well? targ?eted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported With State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OM B-American Oversight?000361 and OMB-17-0119-B-000205 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY rl?he Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy. environmental, and nuclear challenges through transforxnative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Governlnent?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). 0 Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. 0 Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. 0 Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency?Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program because 19 OM B-American Oversight-000362 and OMB-17-O119-B-000206 2O DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Of?ce of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Of?ce of Nuclear Energy, the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the Fossil Energy Research and Development program on limited, early-stage applied energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is Stronger. In addition? the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State-level energy policy and implementation. Collectively, these changes achieve a savings of approximately $2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cybersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help harden and evolve critical grid infrastructure that the American. people and the economy rely upon.

OM B-American Oversight?000363 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-000207 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Hulnan Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well-being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine: public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. OM B?American Oversight-000364 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015. has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OM B-American Oversight?000365 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-000209 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B-American Oversight?000366 and OMB-17-O119-B-00021O 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OM B-American Oversight?000367 and OMB-17-O119-B-000211 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pronlotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities. This Budget re?ects the President?s conimitnlent to fiscal responsibility While supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low?income and vulnerable households and help work?eligible families achieve self?suf?ciency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re duce costs While continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity.

This program is duplicative of efforts funded by philanthropy and other more ?exible private sector inveotments. Supports homeownership through provision of Federal Housing Administration mortgage insur- ance programs. OMB-American Oversight?000369 and OMB-17-O119-B-000213 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (D01) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and U.S.uaf?liated island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs while supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessarj,r or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DUI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DUI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. OM B-American Oversight?000370 and OMB-17-O119-B-000214 28 OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self?determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration proiects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US.

The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient- The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the Nation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration- The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?000372 and OMB-17-O119-B-000216 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share.

Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak, to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options Within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its Statens upported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program {New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates fun ding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level- OM B-American Oversight-000378 and OMB-17-O119-B-000222 36 OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts. This grant program is authorized at an annual average of $900 million through 2020. OMB-American Oversight?000379 and OMB-17-O119-B-000223 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY The Department of the Treasury is charged with inain'taining a strong economy, promo ting conditions that enable econonlic growth and stability, protecting the integrity of the ?nancial system, and managing the US. Government?s ?nances and resources effectively. The Budget will bring renewed discipline to the Department by focusing resources on collecting revenue, managing the Nations debt, protecting the ?nancial system from threats, and combating ?nancial crime and terrorism financing. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $12.1 billion in discretionary resources for the Department of the Treasury?s domestic programs, a $519 million or 4.1 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. The President?s 2018 Budget: Preserves key operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that the IRS could continue to combat identity theft, prevent fraud, and reduce the de?cit through the effective enforcement and administration of tax laws. Diverting resources from antiquated operations that are still reliant on paper-based review in the era of electronic tax ?ling would achieve sig? ni?cant savings, a funding reduction of $239 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity by investing in a Department?Wide plan to strategically enhance existing security systems and preempt fragmentation of information technology management across the bureaus, positioning Treasury to anticipate and nimbly respond in the event of a cyberattack. Prioritizes funding for Treasury?s. array of economic enforcement tools. Key Treasury programs that freeze the accounts of terrorists and proliferators, implement sanctions on rogue nations, and link law enforcement agencies with ?nancial institutions are critical to the continued safety and ?nancial stability of the Nation. Eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund grants, a savings of $210 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The CDFI Fund was created more than 20 years ago to jump-start a now mature industry Where private institutions have ready access to the capital needed to extend credit and provide ?nancial services to underserved communities. 37 OM B-American Oversight-000380 and OMB-17-O119-B-000224 38 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Empowers the Treasury Secretary, as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, to end taxpayer bailouts and foster economic growth by advancing ?nancial regulatory reforms that promote market. discipline and ensure the accountability of ?nancial regulators. Shrinks the Federal workforce and increases its ef?ciency by redirecting resources away from duplicative policy of?ces to staff that manage the Nation?s ?nances. OMB-American Oversight?000381 and OMB-17-O119-B-000225 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care and a Wide variety of bene?ts to military veterans and their survivors. The 2018 Budget ful?lls the President?s commitment to the Nation?s veterans by requesting the resources necessary to provide the support our veterans have earned through sacri?ce and service to our Nation. The Budget signi?cantly increases funding for VA Medical Care so that VA can continue to meet the ever?growing demand for health care services While building an integrated system of care that strengthens services Within VA and makes effective use of community services. The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. rl?he Presidentgs 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase from the 2017 enacted level, The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro? vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad ran go of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. 0 Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action; this criti- cal program Will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. 0 Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at?risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. 0 Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OM B-American Oversight?000382 and OMB-17-O119-B-000226 4O DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans? disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im- prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid the costs of maintaining outdated, inef?cient systems. OMB-American Oversight?000383 and OMB-17-O119-B-000227 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health- The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?000384 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border. OM B-American Oversight?000385 and OMB-17-O119-B-000229 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth?centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation offuturc US. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates newr opportunities for collaboration With industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System. by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-S, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-000386 and OMB-17-O119-B-00023O 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth?Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science IVIission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration mission to reduce its cost and better position it to support a nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in a savings of $88 million from the 201?? annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safeguarding critical systems and data. OM B-American Oversight?000387 and OMB-17-O119-B-000231 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive US. competitiveness, and help grov.r the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants While achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR. level- Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi? ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs Where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro~ mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. l\/Iaintains $28 million in inicroloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength- en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups.

The request includes an additional $30_billion for the Department of Defense to rebuild the U.S. Armed ForCes and accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and an additional $3 billion for the Department of Homeland SeCurity (DHS3 for urgent.border protection activities. This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the 6.8, Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernizatien, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military farce. The reqUest also includes $5.1 billion in the OverSeas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan; This request would enable DOD to pursue a cemprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion fer DHS implementation of my-executive orders on border security and immigratiOn enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, an? construct a physical Wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical bor?er infrastructure and technology. The request also proyeses funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from_the:United States- Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DHS so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?000400 and OMB-17-O119-B-000244 2 In conjunction'with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non?defense discretionary r?ductions;of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts preposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proyoeed for DOD.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?000454 and OMB-17-O119-B-000298 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?000455 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more With less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Almericans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look fhrward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America, .F?irst Budget. Donald J. Trump OMB-American Oversight?000456 and OMB-17-O119-B-0003OO A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?000457 and OMB-17-O119-B-000301 OMB-American Oversight?000458 and OMB-17-O119-B-000302 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?000461 and OMB-17-0119-B-000305 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?000462 and OMB-17-O119-B-000306 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?000463 and OMB-17-0119-B-000307 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?000464 and OMB-17-O119-B-000308 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight?000465 and OMB-17-O119-B-000309 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OM B-American Oversight?000466 and OMB-17-0119-B-00031O DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level.

OM B-American Oversight?000468 and OMB-17-O119-B-000312 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?000469 and OMB-17-O119-B-000313 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure.

The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs.

The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase.

The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. OM B?American Oversight-000475 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015. has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program.

This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B-American Oversight?000477 and OMB-17-O119-B-000321 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system.

Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity.

The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?000483 and OMB-17-O119-B-000327 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats. Combats illegal entry and unlawful presence in the United States by providing an increase of nearly $80 million, or 19 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level to hire 75 additional immigration judge teams to bolster and more ef?ciently adjudicate removal proceedings?- hringing the totai number of funded immigration judge teams to 449. Enhances border security and immigration enforcement by providing 60 additional border enforcement prosecutors and 40 deputy U.S. Marshals for the apprehension, transportation, and prosecution of criminal aliens. Supports the addition of 20 attorneys to pursue Federal efforts to obtain the land and holdings necessary to secure the Southwest border and another 20 attorneys and support staff for immigration litigation assistance.

Safeguards Federal grants to State, local, and tribal law enforcement and victims of crime to ensure greater safety for law enforcement personnel. and the people they serve. Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the BulletproofVest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight. By increasing quarterly ?ling fees, the total estimated United States Trustee Program offsetting receipts would reach $289 million in 2018. OM B-American Oversight?000484 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-000328 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR The Department of Labor fosters the welfare of wage earners, job seekers, and retirees by safeguarding their working conditions, bene?ts, and wages. With the need to rebuild the Na tion?s military Without increasing the de?cit, this Budget focuses the Department of Labor on its highest priority functions and disinvests in activities that are duplicative, unnecessary, unproven, or ineffective. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $9.6 billion for the Department of Labor, a $2.5 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Expands Reemployment and Eligibility Assessments, an evidence?based activity that saves an average of $536 per claimant in unemployment insurance bene?t costs by reducing improper payments and getting claimants back to work more quickly and at higher wages. Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), for a savings of $434 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low?income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one?third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shitting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers.

The Budget for the Department of State and USAID diplomatic and development activities is being refocused on priority strategic objectives and renewed attention is being placed on the appropriate US- share ofinternational spending. In addition, the Budget seeks to reduce or end direct funding for international organizations Whose missions do not substantially advance US- foreign policy interests, are duplicative, or are not well-managed- Additional steps Will be taken to make the Department and USAID leaner, more efficient, and more effective. These steps to reduce foreign assistance free up funding for critical priorities here at home and put America ?rst. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $25.6 billion in base funding for the Department of State and USAID, a $10.1 billion or 28 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also requests $12.0 billion as Overseas Contingency Operations funding for extraordinary costs, primarily in war areas like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, for an agency total of $37.6 billion.

The President?s 2018 Budget: lVIaintains robust funding levels for embassy security and other core diplomatic activities While implementing ef?ciencies. Consistent With the Benghazi Accountability Review Board recom~ mendation, the Budget applies $2.2 billion toward new embassy construction and maintenance in 2018. Nlaintaining adequate embassy security levels requires the ef?cient and effective use of available resources to keep embassy elnployees safe, 4' Provides $3.1 billion to meet the security assistance commitment to Israel, currently at an all- time high; ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats and maintain its Qualitative Military Edge. 0 Eliminates the Global Climate Change Initiative and ful?lls the President?s pledge to cease payments to the United Nations? (UN) climate change programs by eliminating funding related to the Green Climate Fund and its two precursor Climate Investment Funds. Provides suf?cient resources on a path to ful?ll the $1 billion US. pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This commitment helps support Gavi to vaccinate hundreds of millions of children in low?resource countries and save millions of lives. 33 OM B-American Oversight?000487 and OMB-17-O119-B-000331 34 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAIVIS Provides suf?cient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on treatment under the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and maintains funding for malaria programs. The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and lVIigration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?govermnental relief organizations to become more efficient and effective. Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. linproves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef? forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex. Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to c01n1nitments Inade by the previous administration. Even with the proposed decreases, the US. would retain its current status as a top donor While saving taxpayer dollars.

The Budget request re?ects a streamlined DOT that is focused on performing vital Federal safety oversight functions and investing in nationally and regionally signi?cant transportation intrastructure projects. The Budget reduces or eliminates programs that are either inef?cient, duplicative of other Federal efforts, or that involve activities that are better delivered by States, localities, or the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $16.2 billion for discretionary budget, a $2.4 billion or 13 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Initiates a niulti-year reauthorization proposal to shift the air traffic control function of the Federal. Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization, making the system more ef?cient and innovative While maintaining safety. This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak, to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options Within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its Statens upported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program {New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates fun ding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level- OM B-American Oversight-000489 and OMB-17-O119-B-000333 36 OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts.

The President?s 2018 Budget requests $12.1 billion in discretionary resources for the Department of the Treasury?s domestic programs, a $519 million or 4.1 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. The President?s 2018 Budget: Preserves key operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that the IRS could continue to combat identity theft, prevent fraud, and reduce the de?cit through the effective enforcement and administration of tax laws. Diverting resources from antiquated operations that are still reliant on paper-based review in the era of electronic tax ?ling would achieve sig? ni?cant savings, a funding reduction of $239 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity by investing in a Department?Wide plan to strategically enhance existing security systems and preempt fragmentation of information technology management across the bureaus, positioning Treasury to anticipate and nimbly respond in the event of a cyberattack. Prioritizes funding for Treasury?s. array of economic enforcement tools. Key Treasury programs that freeze the accounts of terrorists and proliferators, implement sanctions on rogue nations, and link law enforcement agencies with ?nancial institutions are critical to the continued safety and ?nancial stability of the Nation. Eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund grants, a savings of $210 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The CDFI Fund was created more than 20 years ago to jump-start a now mature industry Where private institutions have ready access to the capital needed to extend credit and provide ?nancial services to underserved communities. 37 OM B-American Oversight-000491 and OMB-17-O119-B-000335 38 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Empowers the Treasury Secretary, as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, to end taxpayer bailouts and foster economic growth by advancing ?nancial regulatory reforms that promote market. discipline and ensure the accountability of ?nancial regulators.

OMB-American Oversight?000492 and OMB-17-O119-B-000336 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care and a Wide variety of bene?ts to military veterans and their survivors. The 2018 Budget ful?lls the President?s commitment to the Nation?s veterans by requesting the resources necessary to provide the support our veterans have earned through sacri?ce and service to our Nation. The Budget signi?cantly increases funding for VA Medical Care so that VA can continue to meet the ever?growing demand for health care services While building an integrated system of care that strengthens services Within VA and makes effective use of community services. The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. rl?he Presidentgs 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase from the 2017 enacted level, The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro? vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad ran go of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. 0 Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action; this criti- cal program Will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. 0 Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at?risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. 0 Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OM B-American Oversight?000493 and OMB-17-O119-B-000337 4O DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes.

OMB-American Oversight?000494 and OMB-17-O119-B-000338 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure.

The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?000495 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?000567 and OMB-17-O119-B-000411 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?000568 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more With less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Almericans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look fhrward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America, .F?irst Budget. Donald J. Trump OMB-American Oversight?000569 and OMB-17-O119-B-000413 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve.

The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?000574 and OMB-17-O119-B-000418 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?000575 and OMB-17-O119-B-000419 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?000576 and OMB-17-O119-B-000420 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?000577 and OMB-17-O119-B-000421 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight?000578 and OMB-17-O119-B-000422 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OM B-American Oversight?000579 and OMB-17-O119-B-000423 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OM B-American Oversight?000580 and OMB-17-O119-B-000424 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides ad ditional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth. orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. lVIaintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote efficient and effective operaticms. Continues to support the Nationai Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stalieholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera- tion Wireless services by funding N?TliA?s mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OM B-American Oversight?000581 and OMB-17-O119-B-000425 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?000582 and OMB-17-O119-B-000426 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OM B-American Oversight?000583 and OMB-17-O119-B-000427 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides Stat-es, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special. education. and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion. from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. OM B-American Oversight-000584 and OMB-17-O119-B-000428 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well? targ?eted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported With State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs.

The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program.

The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs.

The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015. has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OM B-American Oversight?000589 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-000433 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B-American Oversight?000590 and OMB-17-O119-B-000434 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OM B-American Oversight?000591 and OMB-17-O119-B-000435 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pronlotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities.

Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OM B-American Oversight?000592 and OMB-17-O119-B-000436 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPIVIENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, 21 savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level.

OMB-American Oversight?000593 and OMB-17-O119-B-000437 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (D01) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and U.S.uaf?liated island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs while supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessarj,r or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DUI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DUI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. OM B-American Oversight?000594 and OMB-17-O119-B-000438 28 OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self?determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration proiects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground. system? as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and naturai hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression. expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States.

This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?000596 and OMB-17-O119-B-00044O 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight.

Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding.

OMB-American Oversight?000607 and OMB-17-O119-B-000451 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health- The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?000608 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border. OM B-American Oversight?000609 and OMB-17-O119-B-000453 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth?centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation offuturc US. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates newr opportunities for collaboration With industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System. by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-S, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-000610 and OMB-17-O119-B-000454 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth?Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science IVIission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration mission to reduce its cost and better position it to support a nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in a savings of $88 million from the 201?? annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safeguarding critical systems and data. OM B-American Oversight?000611 and OMB-17-O119-B-000455 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive US. competitiveness, and help grov.r the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants While achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR. level- Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi? ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs Where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro~ mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. l\/Iaintains $28 million in inicroloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength- en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups.

The request includes an additional $30 billion for the Department of Defense (DOD) to rebuild the U.s. Armed Forces and accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and an additional $3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for urgent border protection activities. This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military force. The request also includes $5.1 billion in the Overseas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan. This request would enable DOD to pursue a comprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion for DHS implementation of my executive orders on border security and immigration enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical border infrastructure and technology. The request also proposes funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from the United States. Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DES so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?000624 and OMB-17-O119-B-000468 2 In conjunction with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non~defense discretionary reductions of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts proposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proposed for DOD. The details of this proposal are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Sincerely, The Honorable Paul D. Ryan Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 OM B-American Oversight?000625 and OMB-17-O119-B-000469 Estimate No. 1 115th Congress. Session EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, DC. 20503 . . pr?? Misty} THE DIRECTOR March 14, 2017 The President The White House Dear Mr. President: Submitted for your consideration is a request for additional appropriations to address the urgent needs of the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Homeland Security (DHS) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. An additional $24.9 billion is included to address immediate war?ghting readiness needs at DOD. An additional $5.1 billion, to be designated for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), is included for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and continue support for Operation Freedom?s Sentinel (OPS) in Afghanistan. An additional $3 billion is requested for DHS to address urgent border protection activities. This request for additional appropriations re?ects the Administration's commitment to strengthen our national security by rebuilding the US. Armed Forces and protecting our borders. As the following chart illustrates, together with a recommended reduction of $1 8 billion in non?defense discretionary amounts in FY 2017, total funding would increase by $15 billion. (FY 2017. amounts in billions} Current Law Request Change Defense Base $551 $576 +$25 Defense 0C0 $65 $70 Nondefense $519 $504 -$15 DHS request Recommended Reductions 18 Total Change +$15 The additional amounts requested for the DOD base budget would provide funding for urgent war?ghting readiness needs that are necessary to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The appropriations request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. The request is a ?rst step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable force. The amounts requested for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support OFS in Afghanistan are designated as OCO pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency De?cit Control Act of 1985, as amended. This request would enable DOD to support a comprehensive, whole?of?Government strategy to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its flows of ?nancing. The OM B-American Oversight-000626 and OMB-17-O119-B-00047O request also supports ongoing U.S. efforts through OFS to prevent threats to the US. homeland, our allies, and interests abroad from ISIS, al Qaeda, and their af?liated or associated groups. These investments also complement additional US. support for the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces requested on November 10, 2016. The amounts requested for DHS support implementation of your Executive Orders on border security and immigration enforcement. Funds requested for US. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would support high priority tactical infrastructure and border security technology investments, including efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border. The request also includes funding for DHS components to begin building the administrative capacity necessary to recruit, hire, train, and equip an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents and 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and agents, as you directed. Further, the request proposes funding to increase daily immigration detention capacity to 45,700 detention beds by the end of FY 2017. This additional detention capacity is necessary to implement your policies for removing illegal aliens from the United States by enhancing interior enforcement efforts and ending "catch and release" for those apprehended at the border. Funding proposed for DI IS would also be used to establish a real~time border and immigration data integration system within the Of?ce of Immigration Statistics, and for other new border and immigration analyses. The enclosed materials summarize the proposed amendments to the FY 2017 Budget and requested supplemental appropriations, as well as new legal authorities that the Administration requires to implement these programs. The maj or categories ot?funding??broken out by agency?are highlighted below: Department of Defense it $977 million for military personnel costs, which supports the pay and allowances associated with higher military end?strength levels and the increase to a 2.1 percent military pay raise in 2017, funding for denied healthcare reforms, and adjustments based on execution. $7.2 billion for operations and maintenance to address urgent readiness shortfalls across the joint force, including by funding additional training and facility investment and supporting critical weapons systems. These funds will also improve cyber and intelligence capabilities. $13.5 billion for procurement and modernization, including additional Army Apache and Blackhawk helicopters, F-35 and F/Asl 8 ?ghter aircraft, tactical missiles, unmanned aircraft systems, and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense interceptors, and the destroyer that the Congress partially funded in FY 2016. $2.1 billion to accelerate priority research and development efforts, including ballistic missile and air defense, missile defeat, unmanned aircraft systems, next generation f1 ghter aircraft, electronic warfare, anti-ship and land attack missiles, cyher operations technology, and targeting and strike support for special operations forces. at $962 million for the costs of increased supply stocks and critical facility repair and a technical correction to transfer funds from the Operation and Maintenance, Navy account OM B-American Oversight-000627 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-000471 to the Navyis revolving funds account to support national defense sealift vessels and the National Defense Reserve Fleet. $236 million for military construction to complete previously authorized but un?nished projects, such as a weapons storage facility, and for planning and design for critical future projects Department of Defense OCO $1.4 billion to support urgent operational needs associated with the acceleration of Operation Inherent Resolve, DOD's campaign to defeat ISIS. The request includes funding for force protection, precision-guided munitions, intelligence collection, targeting and surveillance, defensive weapons systems, and countermeasures against ISIS's lethal drone program. $2 billion for a ?exible fund that would enable DOD to allocate resources in support of the new counter-ISIS strategy to maximize the impact ofU.S. counterterrorism activities and operations. $626 million for a new Counter-ISIS Train and Equip Fund, which consolidates counter-ISIS?related train and equip efforts. The request increases funding for assistance to partners in Iraq and Syria, While also providing the authority for DOD to work with forces ?ghting ISIS in areas outside Iraq and Syria.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?000654 and OMB-17-O119-B-000498 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?000655 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more With less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Almericans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look fhrward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America, .F?irst Budget. Donald J. Trump OMB-American Oversight?000656 and OMB-17-O119-B-0005OO A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?000657 and OMB-17-O119-B-000501 OMB-American Oversight?000658 and OMB-17-O119-B-000502 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. OM B-American Oversight?000659 and OMB-17-O119-B-000503 OMB-American Oversight?000660 and OMB-17-O119-B-000504 MANAGEMENT Making Government Work Again The Federal Government can?and should? operate more effectively, ef?ciently, and securely. For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?000661 and OMB-17-0119-B-000505 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?000662 and OMB-17-O119-B-000506 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?000663 and OMB-17-0119-B-000507 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?000664 and OMB-17-O119-B-000508 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget).

OM B-American Oversight?000668 and OMB-17-O119-B-000512 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?000669 and OMB-17-O119-B-000513 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US.

The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs.

The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste.

The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs.

In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes.

This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order.

Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system.

Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity.

The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DUI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. OM B-American Oversight?000681 and OMB-17-O119-B-000525 28 OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self?determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration proiects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground. system? as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and naturai hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression. expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States.

This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?000683 and OMB-17-O119-B-000527 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the BulletproofVest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight. By increasing quarterly ?ling fees, the total estimated United States Trustee Program offsetting receipts would reach $289 million in 2018.

Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), for a savings of $434 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low?income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one?third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shitting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers.

(UN) climate change programs by eliminating funding related to the Green Climate Fund and its two precursor Climate Investment Funds. Provides suf?cient resources on a path to ful?ll the $1 billion US. pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This commitment helps support Gavi to vaccinate hundreds of millions of children in low?resource countries and save millions of lives. 33 OM B-American Oversight?000687 and OMB-17-O119-B-000531 34 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAIVIS Provides suf?cient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on treatment under the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and maintains funding for malaria programs. The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and lVIigration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?govermnental relief organizations to become more efficient and effective. Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. linproves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef? forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex. Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to c01n1nitments Inade by the previous administration. Even with the proposed decreases, the US. would retain its current status as a top donor While saving taxpayer dollars.

The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Initiates a niulti-year reauthorization proposal to shift the air traffic control function of the Federal. Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization, making the system more ef?cient and innovative While maintaining safety. This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak, to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options Within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its Statens upported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program {New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates fun ding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level- OM B-American Oversight-000689 and OMB-17-O119-B-000533 36 OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts.

The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs.

Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements.

Jeff JEFF FREELAND Legislative Affairs Office of Manaement and Budget Mobile OMB-American Oversight?000735 and OMB-17-O119-B-000579 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 16, 2017 Dear Mr. Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed appropriations request for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. The request includes an additional $30 billion for the Department of Defense (DOD) to rebuild the U.s. Armed Forces and accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and an additional $3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for urgent border protection activities. This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military force. The request also includes $5.1 billion in the Overseas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan. This request would enable DOD to pursue a comprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion for DHS implementation of my executive orders on border security and immigration enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical border infrastructure and technology. The request also proposes funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from the United States. Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DES so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?000736 and OMB-17-O119-B-000580 2 In conjunction with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non~defense discretionary reductions of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts proposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proposed for DOD. The details of this proposal are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Sincerely, The Honorable Paul D. Ryan Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 OM B-American Oversight?000737 and OMB-17-O119-B-000581 Estimate No. 1 115th Congress. Session EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, DC. 20503 . . pr?? Misty} THE DIRECTOR March 14, 2017 The President The White House Dear Mr. President: Submitted for your consideration is a request for additional appropriations to address the urgent needs of the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Homeland Security (DHS) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. An additional $24.9 billion is included to address immediate war?ghting readiness needs at DOD. An additional $5.1 billion, to be designated for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), is included for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and continue support for Operation Freedom?s Sentinel (OPS) in Afghanistan. An additional $3 billion is requested for DHS to address urgent border protection activities. This request for additional appropriations re?ects the Administration's commitment to strengthen our national security by rebuilding the US. Armed Forces and protecting our borders. As the following chart illustrates, together with a recommended reduction of $1 8 billion in non?defense discretionary amounts in FY 2017, total funding would increase by $15 billion. (FY 2017. amounts in billions} Current Law Request Change Defense Base $551 $576 +$25 Defense 0C0 $65 $70 Nondefense $519 $504 -$15 DHS request Recommended Reductions 18 Total Change +$15 The additional amounts requested for the DOD base budget would provide funding for urgent war?ghting readiness needs that are necessary to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The appropriations request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. The request is a ?rst step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable force. The amounts requested for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support OFS in Afghanistan are designated as OCO pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency De?cit Control Act of 1985, as amended. This request would enable DOD to support a comprehensive, whole?of?Government strategy to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its flows of ?nancing. The OM B-American Oversight-000738 and OMB-17-O119-B-000582 request also supports ongoing U.S. efforts through OFS to prevent threats to the US. homeland, our allies, and interests abroad from ISIS, al Qaeda, and their af?liated or associated groups. These investments also complement additional US. support for the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces requested on November 10, 2016. The amounts requested for DHS support implementation of your Executive Orders on border security and immigration enforcement. Funds requested for US. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would support high priority tactical infrastructure and border security technology investments, including efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border. The request also includes funding for DHS components to begin building the administrative capacity necessary to recruit, hire, train, and equip an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents and 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and agents, as you directed. Further, the request proposes funding to increase daily immigration detention capacity to 45,700 detention beds by the end of FY 2017. This additional detention capacity is necessary to implement your policies for removing illegal aliens from the United States by enhancing interior enforcement efforts and ending "catch and release" for those apprehended at the border. Funding proposed for DI IS would also be used to establish a real~time border and immigration data integration system within the Of?ce of Immigration Statistics, and for other new border and immigration analyses. The enclosed materials summarize the proposed amendments to the FY 2017 Budget and requested supplemental appropriations, as well as new legal authorities that the Administration requires to implement these programs.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?000766 and OMB-17-O119-B-00061O AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?000767 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OM B-American Oversight?000768 and OMB-17-O119-B-000612 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?000769 and OMB-17-O119-B-000613 OMB-American Oversight?000770 and OMB-17-O119-B-000614 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?000773 and OMB-17-O119-B-000617 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?000774 and OMB-17-O119-B-000618 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?000775 and OMB-17-0119-B-000619 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?000776 and OMB-17-O119-B-000620 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight?000777 and OMB-17-O119-B-000621 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OM B-American Oversight?000778 and OMB-17-O119-B-000622 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OM B-American Oversight?000779 and OMB-17-O119-B-000623 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides ad ditional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth. orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. lVIaintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote efficient and effective operaticms. Continues to support the Nationai Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stalieholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera- tion Wireless services by funding N?TliA?s mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OM B-American Oversight?000780 and OMB-17-O119-B-000624 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?000781 and OMB-17-O119-B-000625 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OM B-American Oversight?000782 and OMB-17-O119-B-000626 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides Stat-es, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special. education. and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion. from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. OM B-American Oversight-000783 and OMB-17-O119-B-000627 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well? targ?eted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program.

The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program.

The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level.

In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OM B-American Oversight?000788 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-000632 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B-American Oversight?000789 and OMB-17-O119-B-000633 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OM B-American Oversight?000790 and OMB-17-O119-B-000634 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pronlotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities.

Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OM B-American Oversight?000791 and OMB-17-O119-B-000635 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPIVIENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, 21 savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level.

OMB-American Oversight?000792 and OMB-17-O119-B-000636 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (D01) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and U.S.uaf?liated island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs while supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessarj,r or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DUI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DUI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. OM B-American Oversight?000793 and OMB-17-O119-B-000637 28 OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self?determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration proiects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground. system? as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and naturai hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression. expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States.

This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?000795 and OMB-17-O119-B-000639 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the BulletproofVest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight.

Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share.

This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad ran go of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. 0 Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action; this criti- cal program Will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. 0 Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at?risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. 0 Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OM B-American Oversight?000805 and OMB-17-O119-B-000649 4O DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans? disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im- prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid the costs of maintaining outdated, inef?cient systems. OMB-American Oversight?000806 and OMB-17-O119-B-00065O ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health- The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?000807 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border. OM B-American Oversight?000808 and OMB-17-O119-B-000652 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth?centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation offuturc US. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates newr opportunities for collaboration With industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System. by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-S, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-000809 and OMB-17-O119-B-000653 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth?Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science IVIission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration mission to reduce its cost and better position it to support a nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in a savings of $88 million from the 201?? annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safeguarding critical systems and data. OM B-American Oversight?000810 and OMB-17-O119-B-000654 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive US. competitiveness, and help grov.r the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants While achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR. level- Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi? ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs Where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro~ mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. l\/Iaintains $28 million in inicroloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength- en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups. Allows SBA to advocate and assist small businesses in accessing Federal contracts and small business research opportunities Government-Wide. 45 OM B-American Oversight?000811 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-000655 OMB-American Oversight?000812 and OMB-17-O119-B-000656 Summary Tables 47 OMB-American Oversight?000813 and OMB-17-O119-B-000657 OMB-American Oversight?000814 and OMB-17-O119-B-000658 ABIERICA FIRST: A BUDGET BLUEPRINT TO RIAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 49 Table 1.

The request includes an additional $30_billion for the Department of Defense to rebuild the U.S. Armed ForCes and accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and an additional $3 billion for the Department of Homeland SeCurity (DHS3 for urgent.border protection activities. This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the 6.8, Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernizatien, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military farce. The reqUest also includes $5.1 billion in the OverSeas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan; This request would enable DOD to pursue a cemprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion fer DHS implementation of my-executive orders on border security and immigratiOn enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, an? construct a physical Wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical bor?er infrastructure and technology. The request also proyeses funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from_the:United States- Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DHS so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?000898 and OMB-17-O119-B-000742 2 In conjunction'with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non?defense discretionary r?ductions;of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts preposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proyoeed for DOD. The details of this proposal are set forthjin the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Sincerely, The Honorable Paul D. Ryan Speaker of theiHouse of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 OMB-American Oversight?000899 and OMB-17-O119-B-000743 Estimate fl, 115th Congress. Est Session EXECUTIVE.

Thanks, Jonny Jonathan Slemrod Associate Director, Legislative Affairs Office of Management and Budget OMB-American Oversight?000972 and OMB-17-O119-B-000816 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 16, 2017 Dear Mr. Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed appropriations request for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. The request includes an additional $30 billion for the Department of Defense (DOD) to rebuild the U.s. Armed Forces and accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and an additional $3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for urgent border protection activities. This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military force. The request also includes $5.1 billion in the Overseas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan. This request would enable DOD to pursue a comprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion for DHS implementation of my executive orders on border security and immigration enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical border infrastructure and technology. The request also proposes funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from the United States. Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DES so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?000973 and OMB-17-O119-B-000817 2 In conjunction with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non~defense discretionary reductions of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts proposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proposed for DOD. The details of this proposal are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Sincerely, The Honorable Paul D. Ryan Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 OM B-American Oversight?000974 and OMB-17-O119-B-000818 Estimate No. 1 115th Congress. Session EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, DC. 20503 . . pr?? Misty} THE DIRECTOR March 14, 2017 The President The White House Dear Mr. President: Submitted for your consideration is a request for additional appropriations to address the urgent needs of the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Homeland Security (DHS) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. An additional $24.9 billion is included to address immediate war?ghting readiness needs at DOD. An additional $5.1 billion, to be designated for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), is included for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and continue support for Operation Freedom?s Sentinel (OPS) in Afghanistan. An additional $3 billion is requested for DHS to address urgent border protection activities. This request for additional appropriations re?ects the Administration's commitment to strengthen our national security by rebuilding the US. Armed Forces and protecting our borders. As the following chart illustrates, together with a recommended reduction of $1 8 billion in non?defense discretionary amounts in FY 2017, total funding would increase by $15 billion. (FY 2017. amounts in billions} Current Law Request Change Defense Base $551 $576 +$25 Defense 0C0 $65 $70 Nondefense $519 $504 -$15 DHS request Recommended Reductions 18 Total Change +$15 The additional amounts requested for the DOD base budget would provide funding for urgent war?ghting readiness needs that are necessary to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The appropriations request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. The request is a ?rst step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable force. The amounts requested for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support OFS in Afghanistan are designated as OCO pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency De?cit Control Act of 1985, as amended. This request would enable DOD to support a comprehensive, whole?of?Government strategy to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its flows of ?nancing. The OM B-American Oversight-000975 and OMB-17-O119-B-000819 request also supports ongoing U.S. efforts through OFS to prevent threats to the US. homeland, our allies, and interests abroad from ISIS, al Qaeda, and their af?liated or associated groups. These investments also complement additional US. support for the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces requested on November 10, 2016. The amounts requested for DHS support implementation of your Executive Orders on border security and immigration enforcement. Funds requested for US. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would support high priority tactical infrastructure and border security technology investments, including efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border. The request also includes funding for DHS components to begin building the administrative capacity necessary to recruit, hire, train, and equip an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents and 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and agents, as you directed. Further, the request proposes funding to increase daily immigration detention capacity to 45,700 detention beds by the end of FY 2017. This additional detention capacity is necessary to implement your policies for removing illegal aliens from the United States by enhancing interior enforcement efforts and ending "catch and release" for those apprehended at the border. Funding proposed for DI IS would also be used to establish a real~time border and immigration data integration system within the Of?ce of Immigration Statistics, and for other new border and immigration analyses. The enclosed materials summarize the proposed amendments to the FY 2017 Budget and requested supplemental appropriations, as well as new legal authorities that the Administration requires to implement these programs.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?001003 and OMB-17-O119-B-000847 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?001004 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OM B-American Oversight?001005 and OMB-17-O119-B-000849 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?001006 and OMB-17-O119-B-00085O OMB-American Oversight?001007 and OMB-17-O119-B-000851 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OMB-American Oversight?001010 and OMB-17-0119-B-000854 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?001011 and OMB-17-O119-B-000855 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OMB-American Oversight?001012 and OMB-17-O119-B-000856 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OMB-American Oversight?001013 and OMB-17-O119-B-000857 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 1] OMB-American Oversight?001014 and OMB-17-O119-B-000858 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OMB-American Oversight?001015 and OMB-17-O119-B-000859 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OMB-American Oversight?001016 and OMB-17-O119-B-00086O 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides ad ditional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth. orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. lVIaintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote efficient and effective operaticms. Continues to support the Nationai Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stalieholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera- tion Wireless services by funding N?TliA?s mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OMB-American Oversight?001017 and OMB-17-O119-B-000861 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OMB-American Oversight?001018 and OMB-17-O119-B-000862 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OMB-American Oversight?001019 and OMB-17-O119-B-000863 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides Stat-es, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special. education. and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion. from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. OMB-American Oversight-001020 and OMB-17-O119-B-000864 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well? targ?eted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported With State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OMB-American Oversight?001021 and OMB-17-O119-B-000865 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY rl?he Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy. environmental, and nuclear challenges through transforxnative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Governlnent?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). 0 Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. 0 Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. 0 Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency?Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program because 19 OM B-American Oversight-001022 and OMB-17-O119-B-000866 2O DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Of?ce of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Of?ce of Nuclear Energy, the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the Fossil Energy Research and Development program on limited, early-stage applied energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is Stronger. In addition? the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State-level energy policy and implementation. Collectively, these changes achieve a savings of approximately $2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cybersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help harden and evolve critical grid infrastructure that the American. people and the economy rely upon. Continues the necessary research, development, and construction to support the Navy?s current nuclear ?eet and enhance the capabilities of the future ?eet. OMB-American Oversight?001023 and OMB-17-0119-B-000867 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Hulnan Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well-being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine: public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. OM B?American Oversight-001024 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015. has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OMB-American Oversight?001025 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-000869 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B-American Oversight?001026 and OMB-17-O119-B-00087O 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OMB-American Oversight?001027 and OMB-17-O119-B-000871 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pronlotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities.

Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OMB-American Oversight?001028 and OMB-17-O119-B-000872 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPIVIENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, 21 savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level.

OMB-American Oversight?001029 and OMB-17-O119-B-000873 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (D01) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and U.S.uaf?liated island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs while supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessarj,r or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DUI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DUI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. OM B-American Oversight?001030 and OMB-17-O119-B-000874 28 OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self?determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration proiects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground. system? as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and naturai hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression. expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States.

The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient- The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the Nation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration- The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?001032 and OMB-17-O119-B-000876 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the BulletproofVest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight. By increasing quarterly ?ling fees, the total estimated United States Trustee Program offsetting receipts would reach $289 million in 2018.

Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), for a savings of $434 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low?income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one?third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shitting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers.

Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share.

OMB-American Oversight?001043 and OMB-17-O119-B-000887 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health- The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?001044 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border. OM B-American Oversight?001045 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-000889 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth?centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation offuturc US. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates newr opportunities for collaboration With industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System. by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-S, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-001046 and OMB-17-O119-B-000890 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth?Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science IVIission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration mission to reduce its cost and better position it to support a nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in a savings of $88 million from the 201?? annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safeguarding critical systems and data. OM B-American Oversight?001047 and OMB-17-O119-B-000891 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive US. competitiveness, and help grov.r the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants While achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR. level- Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi? ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs Where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro~ mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. l\/Iaintains $28 million in inicroloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength- en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups.

Thanks, Jonny Jonathan Slemrod Associate Director, Legislative Affairs Office of Management and Budget OMB-American Oversight?001084 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-000928 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 16, 2017 Dear Mr. Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed appropriations request for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. The request includes an additional $30 billion for the Department of Defense (DOD) to rebuild the U.s. Armed Forces and accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and an additional $3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for urgent border protection activities. This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military force. The request also includes $5.1 billion in the Overseas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan. This request would enable DOD to pursue a comprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion for DHS implementation of my executive orders on border security and immigration enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical border infrastructure and technology. The request also proposes funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from the United States. Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DES so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?001085 and OMB-17-O119-B-000929 2 In conjunction with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non~defense discretionary reductions of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts proposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proposed for DOD. The details of this proposal are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Sincerely, The Honorable Paul D. Ryan Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 OM B-American Oversight?001086 and OMB-17-O119-B-00093O Estimate No. 1 115th Congress. Session EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, DC. 20503 . . pr?? Misty} THE DIRECTOR March 14, 2017 The President The White House Dear Mr. President: Submitted for your consideration is a request for additional appropriations to address the urgent needs of the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Homeland Security (DHS) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. An additional $24.9 billion is included to address immediate war?ghting readiness needs at DOD. An additional $5.1 billion, to be designated for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), is included for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and continue support for Operation Freedom?s Sentinel (OPS) in Afghanistan. An additional $3 billion is requested for DHS to address urgent border protection activities. This request for additional appropriations re?ects the Administration's commitment to strengthen our national security by rebuilding the US. Armed Forces and protecting our borders. As the following chart illustrates, together with a recommended reduction of $1 8 billion in non?defense discretionary amounts in FY 2017, total funding would increase by $15 billion. (FY 2017. amounts in billions} Current Law Request Change Defense Base $551 $576 +$25 Defense 0C0 $65 $70 Nondefense $519 $504 -$15 DHS request Recommended Reductions 18 Total Change +$15 The additional amounts requested for the DOD base budget would provide funding for urgent war?ghting readiness needs that are necessary to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The appropriations request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. The request is a ?rst step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable force. The amounts requested for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support OFS in Afghanistan are designated as OCO pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency De?cit Control Act of 1985, as amended. This request would enable DOD to support a comprehensive, whole?of?Government strategy to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its flows of ?nancing. The OM B-American Oversight-001087 and OMB-17-O119-B-000931 request also supports ongoing U.S. efforts through OFS to prevent threats to the US. homeland, our allies, and interests abroad from ISIS, al Qaeda, and their af?liated or associated groups. These investments also complement additional US. support for the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces requested on November 10, 2016. The amounts requested for DHS support implementation of your Executive Orders on border security and immigration enforcement. Funds requested for US. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would support high priority tactical infrastructure and border security technology investments, including efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border. The request also includes funding for DHS components to begin building the administrative capacity necessary to recruit, hire, train, and equip an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents and 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and agents, as you directed. Further, the request proposes funding to increase daily immigration detention capacity to 45,700 detention beds by the end of FY 2017. This additional detention capacity is necessary to implement your policies for removing illegal aliens from the United States by enhancing interior enforcement efforts and ending "catch and release" for those apprehended at the border. Funding proposed for DI IS would also be used to establish a real~time border and immigration data integration system within the Of?ce of Immigration Statistics, and for other new border and immigration analyses. The enclosed materials summarize the proposed amendments to the FY 2017 Budget and requested supplemental appropriations, as well as new legal authorities that the Administration requires to implement these programs.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?001115 and OMB-17-O119-B-000959 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?001116 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OM B-American Oversight?001117 and OMB-17-O119-B-000961 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?001118 and OMB-17-O119-B-000962 OMB-American Oversight?001119 and OMB-17-O119-B-000963 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. OM B-American Oversight?001120 and OMB-17-O119-B-000964 OMB-American Oversight?001 121 and OMB-17-O119-B-000965 MANAGEMENT Making Government Work Again The Federal Government can?and should? operate more effectively, ef?ciently, and securely. For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?001122 and OMB-17-0119-B-000966 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?001123 and OMB-17-O119-B-000967 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?001124 and OMB-17-O119-B-000968 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?001125 and OMB-17-O119-B-000969 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management.

The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?001130 and OMB-17-O119-B-000974 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS.

Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded.

The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level.

The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste.

The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs.

In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes.

This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order.

Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system.

Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside.

However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?001144 and OMB-17-O119-B-000988 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and lVIigration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?govermnental relief organizations to become more efficient and effective. Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. linproves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef? forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex. Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to c01n1nitments Inade by the previous administration.

This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak, to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options Within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its Statens upported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program {New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates fun ding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level- OM B-American Oversight-001150 and OMB-17-O119-B-000994 36 OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight anci Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?001202 and OMB-17-O119-B-001046 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OMB-American Oversight?001203 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OMB-American Oversight?001204 and OMB-17-O119-B-001048 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney OJ OMB-American Oversight?001205 and OMB-17-O119-B-001049 OMB-American Oversight?001206 and OMB-17-O119-B-00105O AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OMB-American Oversight?001209 and OMB-17-0119-B-001053 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OMB-American Oversight?001210 and OMB-17-O119-B-001054 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?001211 and OMB-17-O119-B-001055 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OMB-American Oversight?001212 and OMB-17-O119-B-001056 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 1] OMB-American Oversight?001213 and OMB-17-O119-B-001057 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OMB-American Oversight?001214 and OMB-17-0119-B-001058 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OMB-American Oversight?001215 and OMB-17-O119-B-001059 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides ad ditional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth. orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. lVIaintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote efficient and effective operaticms. Continues to support the Nationai Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stalieholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera- tion Wireless services by funding N?TliA?s mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OMB-American Oversight?001216 and OMB-17-O119-B-001060 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OMB-American Oversight?001217 and OMB-17-O119-B-001061 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OMB-American Oversight?001218 and OMB-17-O119-B-001062 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides Stat-es, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special. education. and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion. from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. OMB-American Oversight-001219 and OMB-17-O119-B-001063 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well? targ?eted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported With State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OMB-American Oversight?001220 and OMB-17-O119-B-001064 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY rl?he Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy. environmental, and nuclear challenges through transforxnative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Governlnent?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). 0 Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. 0 Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. 0 Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency?Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program because 19 OMB-American Oversight-001221 and OMB-17-O119-B-001065 2O DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Of?ce of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Of?ce of Nuclear Energy, the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the Fossil Energy Research and Development program on limited, early-stage applied energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is Stronger. In addition? the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State-level energy policy and implementation. Collectively, these changes achieve a savings of approximately $2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cybersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help harden and evolve critical grid infrastructure that the American. people and the economy rely upon. Continues the necessary research, development, and construction to support the Navy?s current nuclear ?eet and enhance the capabilities of the future ?eet. OM B-American Oversight?001222 and OMB-17-0119-B-001066 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Hulnan Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well-being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine: public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. OMB-American Oversight-001223 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015. has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OM B-American Oversight?001224 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001068 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OMB-American Oversight?001225 and OMB-17-O119-B-001069 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OM B-American Oversight?001226 and OMB-17-O119-B-001070 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pronlotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities. This Budget re?ects the President?s conimitnlent to fiscal responsibility While supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low?income and vulnerable households and help work?eligible families achieve self?suf?ciency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re duce costs While continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OMB-American Oversight?001227 and OMB-17-O119-B-001071 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPIVIENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, 21 savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program is duplicative of efforts funded by philanthropy and other more ?exible private sector inveotments. Supports homeownership through provision of Federal Housing Administration mortgage insur- ance programs. OMB-American Oversight?001228 and OMB-17-O119-B-001072 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (D01) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and U.S.uaf?liated island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs while supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessarj,r or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DUI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DUI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. OMB-American Oversight?001229 and OMB-17-O119-B-001073 28 OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self?determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration proiects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground. system? as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and naturai hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression. expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States. Supports counties through discretionary funding for the Payments in Lieu of Taxes program at a reduced level, but in line with average funding for PILT over the past decade. OMB-American Oversight?001230 and OMB-17-O119-B-001074 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE The Department of Justice is charged with enforcing the laws and defending the interests of the United States, ensuring public safety against foreign and domestic threats, providing Federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime, seeking just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior, and ensuring the fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans. The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient- The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the Nation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration- The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OMB-American Oversight?001231 and OMB-17-O119-B-001075 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Safeguards Federal grants to State, local, and tribal law enforcement and victims of crime to ensure greater safety for law enforcement personnel. and the people they serve. Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the BulletproofVest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight. By increasing quarterly ?ling fees, the total estimated United States Trustee Program offsetting receipts would reach $289 million in 2018.

Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), for a savings of $434 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low?income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one?third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shitting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers.

The President?s 2018 Budget: lVIaintains robust funding levels for embassy security and other core diplomatic activities While implementing ef?ciencies. Consistent With the Benghazi Accountability Review Board recom~ mendation, the Budget applies $2.2 billion toward new embassy construction and maintenance in 2018. Nlaintaining adequate embassy security levels requires the ef?cient and effective use of available resources to keep embassy elnployees safe, 4' Provides $3.1 billion to meet the security assistance commitment to Israel, currently at an all- time high; ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats and maintain its Qualitative Military Edge. 0 Eliminates the Global Climate Change Initiative and ful?lls the President?s pledge to cease payments to the United Nations? (UN) climate change programs by eliminating funding related to the Green Climate Fund and its two precursor Climate Investment Funds. Provides suf?cient resources on a path to ful?ll the $1 billion US. pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This commitment helps support Gavi to vaccinate hundreds of millions of children in low?resource countries and save millions of lives. 33 OMB-American Oversight?001235 and OMB-17-O119-B-001079 34 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAIVIS Provides suf?cient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on treatment under the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and maintains funding for malaria programs. The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and lVIigration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?govermnental relief organizations to become more efficient and effective. Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. linproves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef? forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex. Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to c01n1nitments Inade by the previous administration. Even with the proposed decreases, the US. would retain its current status as a top donor While saving taxpayer dollars. OMB-American Oversight?001236 and OMB-17-O119-B-001080 ?5 Cd: {at at or6293 i at?! P74 7'53 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION The Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for ensuring a fast, safe, ef?cient, accessible, and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people today, and into the future. The Budget request re?ects a streamlined DOT that is focused on performing vital Federal safety oversight functions and investing in nationally and regionally signi?cant transportation intrastructure projects. The Budget reduces or eliminates programs that are either inef?cient, duplicative of other Federal efforts, or that involve activities that are better delivered by States, localities, or the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $16.2 billion for discretionary budget, a $2.4 billion or 13 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Initiates a niulti-year reauthorization proposal to shift the air traffic control function of the Federal. Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization, making the system more ef?cient and innovative While maintaining safety. This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak, to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options Within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its Statens upported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program {New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates fun ding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level- OMB-American Oversight-001237 and OMB-17-O119-B-001081 36 OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts. This grant program is authorized at an annual average of $900 million through 2020. OMB-American Oversight?001238 and OMB-17-O119-B-001082 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY The Department of the Treasury is charged with inain'taining a strong economy, promo ting conditions that enable econonlic growth and stability, protecting the integrity of the ?nancial system, and managing the US. Government?s ?nances and resources effectively. The Budget will bring renewed discipline to the Department by focusing resources on collecting revenue, managing the Nations debt, protecting the ?nancial system from threats, and combating ?nancial crime and terrorism financing. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $12.1 billion in discretionary resources for the Department of the Treasury?s domestic programs, a $519 million or 4.1 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. The President?s 2018 Budget: Preserves key operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that the IRS could continue to combat identity theft, prevent fraud, and reduce the de?cit through the effective enforcement and administration of tax laws. Diverting resources from antiquated operations that are still reliant on paper-based review in the era of electronic tax ?ling would achieve sig? ni?cant savings, a funding reduction of $239 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity by investing in a Department?Wide plan to strategically enhance existing security systems and preempt fragmentation of information technology management across the bureaus, positioning Treasury to anticipate and nimbly respond in the event of a cyberattack. Prioritizes funding for Treasury?s. array of economic enforcement tools. Key Treasury programs that freeze the accounts of terrorists and proliferators, implement sanctions on rogue nations, and link law enforcement agencies with ?nancial institutions are critical to the continued safety and ?nancial stability of the Nation. Eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund grants, a savings of $210 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The CDFI Fund was created more than 20 years ago to jump-start a now mature industry Where private institutions have ready access to the capital needed to extend credit and provide ?nancial services to underserved communities. 37 OMB-American Oversight-001239 and OMB-17-O119-B-001083 38 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Empowers the Treasury Secretary, as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, to end taxpayer bailouts and foster economic growth by advancing ?nancial regulatory reforms that promote market. discipline and ensure the accountability of ?nancial regulators. Shrinks the Federal workforce and increases its ef?ciency by redirecting resources away from duplicative policy of?ces to staff that manage the Nation?s ?nances. OMB-American Oversight?001240 and OMB-17-O119-B-001084 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care and a Wide variety of bene?ts to military veterans and their survivors. The 2018 Budget ful?lls the President?s commitment to the Nation?s veterans by requesting the resources necessary to provide the support our veterans have earned through sacri?ce and service to our Nation. The Budget signi?cantly increases funding for VA Medical Care so that VA can continue to meet the ever?growing demand for health care services While building an integrated system of care that strengthens services Within VA and makes effective use of community services. The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. rl?he Presidentgs 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase from the 2017 enacted level, The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro? vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad ran go of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. 0 Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action; this criti- cal program Will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. 0 Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at?risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. 0 Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OMB-American Oversight?001241 and OMB-17-O119-B-001085 4O DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans? disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im- prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid the costs of maintaining outdated, inef?cient systems. OMB-American Oversight?001242 and OMB-17-O119-B-001086 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health- The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?001243 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border. OM B-American Oversight?001244 and OMB-17-O119-B-001088 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth?centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation offuturc US. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates newr opportunities for collaboration With industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System. by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-S, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-001245 and OMB-17-O119-B-001089 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth?Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science IVIission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration mission to reduce its cost and better position it to support a nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in a savings of $88 million from the 201?? annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safeguarding critical systems and data. OM B-American Oversight?001246 and OMB-17-O119-B-001090 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive US. competitiveness, and help grov.r the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants While achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR. level- Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi? ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs Where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro~ mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. l\/Iaintains $28 million in inicroloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength- en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups.

Jonny Jonathan Slemrod Associate Director, Legislative Affairs Office of Management and Budget OMB-American Oversight?001283 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001127 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 16, 2017 Dear Mr. Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed appropriations request for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. The request includes an additional $30 billion for the Department of Defense (DOD) to rebuild the U.s. Armed Forces and accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and an additional $3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for urgent border protection activities. This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military force. The request also includes $5.1 billion in the Overseas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan. This request would enable DOD to pursue a comprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion for DHS implementation of my executive orders on border security and immigration enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical border infrastructure and technology. The request also proposes funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from the United States. Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DES so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?001284 and OMB-17-O119-B-001128 2 In conjunction with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non~defense discretionary reductions of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts proposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proposed for DOD. The details of this proposal are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Sincerely, The Honorable Paul D. Ryan Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 OMB-American Oversight?001285 and OMB-17-O119-B-001129 Estimate No. 1 115th Congress. Session EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, DC. 20503 . . pr?? Misty} THE DIRECTOR March 14, 2017 The President The White House Dear Mr. President: Submitted for your consideration is a request for additional appropriations to address the urgent needs of the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Homeland Security (DHS) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. An additional $24.9 billion is included to address immediate war?ghting readiness needs at DOD. An additional $5.1 billion, to be designated for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), is included for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and continue support for Operation Freedom?s Sentinel (OPS) in Afghanistan. An additional $3 billion is requested for DHS to address urgent border protection activities. This request for additional appropriations re?ects the Administration's commitment to strengthen our national security by rebuilding the US. Armed Forces and protecting our borders. As the following chart illustrates, together with a recommended reduction of $1 8 billion in non?defense discretionary amounts in FY 2017, total funding would increase by $15 billion. (FY 2017. amounts in billions} Current Law Request Change Defense Base $551 $576 +$25 Defense 0C0 $65 $70 Nondefense $519 $504 -$15 DHS request Recommended Reductions 18 Total Change +$15 The additional amounts requested for the DOD base budget would provide funding for urgent war?ghting readiness needs that are necessary to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The appropriations request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. The request is a ?rst step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable force. The amounts requested for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support OFS in Afghanistan are designated as OCO pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency De?cit Control Act of 1985, as amended. This request would enable DOD to support a comprehensive, whole?of?Government strategy to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its flows of ?nancing. The OMB-American Oversight-001286 and OMB-17-O119-B-00113O request also supports ongoing U.S. efforts through OFS to prevent threats to the US. homeland, our allies, and interests abroad from ISIS, al Qaeda, and their af?liated or associated groups. These investments also complement additional US. support for the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces requested on November 10, 2016. The amounts requested for DHS support implementation of your Executive Orders on border security and immigration enforcement. Funds requested for US. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would support high priority tactical infrastructure and border security technology investments, including efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border. The request also includes funding for DHS components to begin building the administrative capacity necessary to recruit, hire, train, and equip an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents and 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and agents, as you directed. Further, the request proposes funding to increase daily immigration detention capacity to 45,700 detention beds by the end of FY 2017. This additional detention capacity is necessary to implement your policies for removing illegal aliens from the United States by enhancing interior enforcement efforts and ending "catch and release" for those apprehended at the border. Funding proposed for DI IS would also be used to establish a real~time border and immigration data integration system within the Of?ce of Immigration Statistics, and for other new border and immigration analyses.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?001314 and OMB-17-O119-B-001158 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OMB-American Oversight?001315 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OMB-American Oversight?001316 and OMB-17-O119-B-00116O A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney OJ OMB-American Oversight?001317 and OMB-17-O119-B-001161 OMB-American Oversight?001318 and OMB-17-O119-B-001162 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OMB-American Oversight?001321 and OMB-17-O119-B-001165 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?001322 and OMB-17-O119-B-001166 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OMB-American Oversight?001323 and OMB-17-O119-B-001167 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?001324 and OMB-17-O119-B-001168 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands.

Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property.

OMB-American Oversight?001328 and OMB-17-O119-B-001172 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OMB-American Oversight?001329 and OMB-17-O119-B-001173 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OM B-American Oversight?001330 and OMB-17-O119-B-001174 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs.

Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program.

The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program.

The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. OM B?American Oversight-001335 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015. has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OM B-American Oversight?001336 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001180 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B-American Oversight?001337 and OMB-17-O119-B-001181 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system.

This Budget re?ects the President?s conimitnlent to fiscal responsibility While supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low?income and vulnerable households and help work?eligible families achieve self?suf?ciency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re duce costs While continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity.

The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and lVIigration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?govermnental relief organizations to become more efficient and effective. Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. linproves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef? forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex. Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to c01n1nitments Inade by the previous administration.

This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak, to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options Within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its Statens upported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program {New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates fun ding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level- OM B-American Oversight-001349 and OMB-17-O119-B-001193 36 OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight anci Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts.

I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?001402 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OM B-American Oversight?001403 and OMB-17-O119-B-001247 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?001404 and OMB-17-O119-B-001248 OMB-American Oversight?001405 and OMB-17-O119-B-001249 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?001408 and OMB-17-0119-B-001252 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?001409 and OMB-17-O119-B-001253 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OMB-American Oversight?001410 and OMB-17-O119-B-001254 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?001411 and OMB-17-O119-B-001255 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 1] OMB-American Oversight?001412 and OMB-17-O119-B-001256 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OMB-American Oversight?001413 and OMB-17-O119-B-001257 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OMB-American Oversight?001414 and OMB-17-O119-B-001258 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides ad ditional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth. orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. lVIaintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote efficient and effective operaticms. Continues to support the Nationai Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stalieholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera- tion Wireless services by funding N?TliA?s mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OMB-American Oversight?001415 and OMB-17-O119-B-001259 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OMB-American Oversight?001416 and OMB-17-O119-B-00126O 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OMB-American Oversight?001417 and OMB-17-O119-B-001261 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides Stat-es, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special. education. and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion. from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. OMB-American Oversight-001418 and OMB-17-O119-B-001262 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well? targ?eted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported With State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OMB-American Oversight?001419 and OMB-17-O119-B-001263 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY rl?he Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy. environmental, and nuclear challenges through transforxnative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Governlnent?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). 0 Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. 0 Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. 0 Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency?Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program because 19 OMB-American Oversight-001420 and OMB-17-O119-B-001264 2O DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Of?ce of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Of?ce of Nuclear Energy, the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the Fossil Energy Research and Development program on limited, early-stage applied energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is Stronger. In addition? the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State-level energy policy and implementation. Collectively, these changes achieve a savings of approximately $2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cybersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help harden and evolve critical grid infrastructure that the American. people and the economy rely upon. Continues the necessary research, development, and construction to support the Navy?s current nuclear ?eet and enhance the capabilities of the future ?eet. OMB-American Oversight?001421 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001265 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Hulnan Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well-being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine: public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. OM B?American Oversight-001422 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015. has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OMB-American Oversight?001423 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001267 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B-American Oversight?001424 and OMB-17-O119-B-001268 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OMB-American Oversight?001425 and OMB-17-O119-B-001269 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pronlotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities. This Budget re?ects the President?s conimitnlent to fiscal responsibility While supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low?income and vulnerable households and help work?eligible families achieve self?suf?ciency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re duce costs While continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OM B-American Oversight?001426 and OMB-17-O119-B-00127O 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPIVIENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, 21 savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program is duplicative of efforts funded by philanthropy and other more ?exible private sector inveotments. Supports homeownership through provision of Federal Housing Administration mortgage insur- ance programs. OMB-American Oversight?001427 and OMB-17-O119-B-001271 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (D01) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and U.S.uaf?liated island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs while supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessarj,r or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DUI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DUI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. OMB-American Oversight?001428 and OMB-17-O119-B-001272 28 OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self?determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration proiects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground. system? as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and naturai hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression. expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States. Supports counties through discretionary funding for the Payments in Lieu of Taxes program at a reduced level, but in line with average funding for PILT over the past decade. OMB-American Oversight?001429 and OMB-17-O119-B-001273 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE The Department of Justice is charged with enforcing the laws and defending the interests of the United States, ensuring public safety against foreign and domestic threats, providing Federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime, seeking just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior, and ensuring the fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans. The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient- The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the Nation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration- The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?001430 and OMB-17-O119-B-001274 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the BulletproofVest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight. By increasing quarterly ?ling fees, the total estimated United States Trustee Program offsetting receipts would reach $289 million in 2018. OMB-American Oversight?001431 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001275 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR The Department of Labor fosters the welfare of wage earners, job seekers, and retirees by safeguarding their working conditions, bene?ts, and wages. With the need to rebuild the Na tion?s military Without increasing the de?cit, this Budget focuses the Department of Labor on its highest priority functions and disinvests in activities that are duplicative, unnecessary, unproven, or ineffective.

The President?s 2018 Budget: Expands Reemployment and Eligibility Assessments, an evidence?based activity that saves an average of $536 per claimant in unemployment insurance bene?t costs by reducing improper payments and getting claimants back to work more quickly and at higher wages. Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), for a savings of $434 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low?income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one?third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shitting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers.

The President?s 2018 Budget: lVIaintains robust funding levels for embassy security and other core diplomatic activities While implementing ef?ciencies. Consistent With the Benghazi Accountability Review Board recom~ mendation, the Budget applies $2.2 billion toward new embassy construction and maintenance in 2018. Nlaintaining adequate embassy security levels requires the ef?cient and effective use of available resources to keep embassy elnployees safe, 4' Provides $3.1 billion to meet the security assistance commitment to Israel, currently at an all- time high; ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats and maintain its Qualitative Military Edge. 0 Eliminates the Global Climate Change Initiative and ful?lls the President?s pledge to cease payments to the United Nations? (UN) climate change programs by eliminating funding related to the Green Climate Fund and its two precursor Climate Investment Funds. Provides suf?cient resources on a path to ful?ll the $1 billion US. pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This commitment helps support Gavi to vaccinate hundreds of millions of children in low?resource countries and save millions of lives. 33 OM B-American Oversight?001434 and OMB-17-O119-B-001278 34 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAIVIS Provides suf?cient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on treatment under the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and maintains funding for malaria programs. The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and lVIigration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?govermnental relief organizations to become more efficient and effective. Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. linproves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef? forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex. Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to c01n1nitments Inade by the previous administration. Even with the proposed decreases, the US. would retain its current status as a top donor While saving taxpayer dollars. OM B-American Oversight?001435 and OMB-17-O119-B-001279 ?5 Cd: {at at or6293 i at?! P74 7'53 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION The Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for ensuring a fast, safe, ef?cient, accessible, and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people today, and into the future. The Budget request re?ects a streamlined DOT that is focused on performing vital Federal safety oversight functions and investing in nationally and regionally signi?cant transportation intrastructure projects. The Budget reduces or eliminates programs that are either inef?cient, duplicative of other Federal efforts, or that involve activities that are better delivered by States, localities, or the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $16.2 billion for discretionary budget, a $2.4 billion or 13 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Initiates a niulti-year reauthorization proposal to shift the air traffic control function of the Federal. Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization, making the system more ef?cient and innovative While maintaining safety. This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak, to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options Within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its Statens upported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program {New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates fun ding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level- OM B-American Oversight-001436 and OMB-17-O119-B-001280 36 OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight anci Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts. This grant program is authorized at an annual average of $900 million through 2020. OM B-American Oversight?001437 and OMB-17-O119-B-001281 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY The Department of the Treasury is charged with inain'taining a strong economy, promo ting conditions that enable econonlic growth and stability, protecting the integrity of the ?nancial system, and managing the US. Government?s ?nances and resources effectively. The Budget will bring renewed discipline to the Department by focusing resources on collecting revenue, managing the Nations debt, protecting the ?nancial system from threats, and combating ?nancial crime and terrorism financing. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $12.1 billion in discretionary resources for the Department of the Treasury?s domestic programs, a $519 million or 4.1 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. The President?s 2018 Budget: Preserves key operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that the IRS could continue to combat identity theft, prevent fraud, and reduce the de?cit through the effective enforcement and administration of tax laws. Diverting resources from antiquated operations that are still reliant on paper-based review in the era of electronic tax ?ling would achieve sig? ni?cant savings, a funding reduction of $239 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity by investing in a Department?Wide plan to strategically enhance existing security systems and preempt fragmentation of information technology management across the bureaus, positioning Treasury to anticipate and nimbly respond in the event of a cyberattack. Prioritizes funding for Treasury?s. array of economic enforcement tools. Key Treasury programs that freeze the accounts of terrorists and proliferators, implement sanctions on rogue nations, and link law enforcement agencies with ?nancial institutions are critical to the continued safety and ?nancial stability of the Nation. Eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund grants, a savings of $210 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The CDFI Fund was created more than 20 years ago to jump-start a now mature industry Where private institutions have ready access to the capital needed to extend credit and provide ?nancial services to underserved communities. 37 OM B-American Oversight-001438 and OMB-17-O119-B-001282 38 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Empowers the Treasury Secretary, as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, to end taxpayer bailouts and foster economic growth by advancing ?nancial regulatory reforms that promote market. discipline and ensure the accountability of ?nancial regulators. Shrinks the Federal workforce and increases its ef?ciency by redirecting resources away from duplicative policy of?ces to staff that manage the Nation?s ?nances. OMB-American Oversight?001439 and OMB-17-O119-B-001283 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care and a Wide variety of bene?ts to military veterans and their survivors. The 2018 Budget ful?lls the President?s commitment to the Nation?s veterans by requesting the resources necessary to provide the support our veterans have earned through sacri?ce and service to our Nation. The Budget signi?cantly increases funding for VA Medical Care so that VA can continue to meet the ever?growing demand for health care services While building an integrated system of care that strengthens services Within VA and makes effective use of community services. The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. rl?he Presidentgs 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase from the 2017 enacted level, The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro? vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad ran go of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. 0 Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action; this criti- cal program Will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. 0 Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at?risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. 0 Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OM B-American Oversight?001440 and OMB-17-O119-B-001284 4O DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans? disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im- prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid the costs of maintaining outdated, inef?cient systems. OMB-American Oversight?001441 and OMB-17-O119-B-001285 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health- The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?001442 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border. OM B-American Oversight?001443 and OMB-17-O119-B-001287 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth?centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation offuturc US. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates newr opportunities for collaboration With industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System. by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-S, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-001444 and OMB-17-O119-B-001288 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth?Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants.

The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants While achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR. level- Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi? ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs Where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro~ mote entrepreneurship and business ownership.

Web address: http:/ go OMB-American Oversight-001488 and OMB-17-O119-B-001332 AMERICA FIRST Beginning :1 New Chapter of American. Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The. American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is tl?irough the Budget of the United States. Accordingly, s1.ihn1?i.t to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal. slgiending so that it advances the safety and security of the Ai'nericai'i j jieople. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizensm-a Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter of American greatness. A budget that puts America first must make the safety oi?our people its number one priority? loecause without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is Why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that empl'iasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint. To keep Ainjiericans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget B'Ijlgleprint for 20118: 0 provides for one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration Judges, expanded detention capac1ty, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Customs Erlforfcement, and Border islatrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and red'lglces opioid. abuse; and 0 puts America first by keeping more of America?s hard-earned tax dollars here at home. The core ofmy ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding of our ation?s military without adding to our Federal deficit. There is 213354.- billion iililcrease in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is Vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces [or the future. we must ensure that our courageous servicemen and. women. lilave the tools they need to deter war, and when called upon to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the world a message ofAmerlcan strength, security, and resolve. 'l?his Budget Blueprint ihllows through on. my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting Violent offenders behind bars. OMB-American Oversight-001489 and OMB-17-O119-B-001333 The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?cienci es across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to mun-Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. illhis includes deep cuts to foreign aid. lit is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americansthe world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and deltiartments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department. will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look forward to engaging the Congress and enacting this America First Budget. Donald J. Trump OMB-American Oversight-001490 and OMB-17-O119-B-001334 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. Wl?iile recognizing this Blueprint is not the full, Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public With a View of the priorlties of the President and his Adimnistration. The Fed eral budget is a complex document. However, working for a President to keeping his pronnses means my job 1s as simple as translating his words mto numbers. That is Why you will ?nd here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes, and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed. Forces to beefing up our border security and, safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty, this Budget makes security priority one. lt does so While meeting another of the li?resident?s core commitments: ad dressing our Nation?s priorities without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. it has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget. while paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s first term have more tax dollars been saved. and more Government. inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program test-ed, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. American families :make tough, decisions every day about their own budgets; i is time Washington does the same.

The full Budget that will. be released. later this spring will. Linclude our speci?c mandatory and. tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized. that one of his top priorities is modemizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with commonsense regulator administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will pmvide more budgetary tax, and legislative details in the coming months. in the that follow; Budget higliilights are presented. for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach. to move the Nation towanl fiscal. responsihili'ty, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of jljirograi?ns and focuses hinding to rede?ne the proper role of the li?ederal Govermnen?t. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, includii'ig: the African evelopi'nent Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the lnstitute of Museum and Library Services; the lnter~American Foundation; the U. S. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Hinnani ties; the Neighborhood Reinvestniem; Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private lnvesttnient lorpora'tion; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States lnteragencyr Council on Homelessness; and. the Woodrow Wilson lnternational Center for Scholars.

Government can?and should? operate more effectively, ef?ciently, and. securely. For decades, leaders on. both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The lf?resident is taking hold action now to make Government work again ibr the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long-term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on March 13, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion. the important work of reorganizing executive departments and. agencies. These two actions are com pleimentary and 1;)lans should reflect both Presidential actions. Legislation will be required before major reorganization of the Executive Braiilclil can take place, but the White House is best sil?zuated to review and reconjiirnend changes to the Congress. in rouglilly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen. Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the IF?resit'lent?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in. the effectiveness of its core management- ful?ictions. The President?s Management Agenda will set goals in areas that are critical. to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, efficiency, cybersec?urity, and accountability. ?l?he Administration will. take action to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the Ihllowing: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration will take an evidence- based approach to improving programs and services using real, hard data to identify poorly performing organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high-quality and timely services to the American people and. businesses. We will use all tools available and. create new ones as needed to ensure the work?irce is prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?Wide jpolicies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions.

OMB-American Oversight-001496 and OMB-17-O119-B-001340 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a, regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system. that is botl?i effective and efficient. Each year, however; Federal agencies issue thousands ofne?w regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost-effective manner, and often have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years-m-meven if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamined and they no longer be effective or necessary. The l??resident is committed to fixing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and. wasteful, regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s Chief ofStaff issued a inenmrandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administratirm political appointee; and to delay the e??ective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the signed Executive Order 13771., ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This "Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. lt requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. lt also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of all new regulations be no greater than For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The significant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal. agencies to carry out the bold. regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the lf?resident?s regulatory reform priorities. ?QIL?hese new teams will, OMB-American Oversight-001497 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001341 work hard to identifyr regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef- forts to repeal, replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a widely rec? ognized and biapartisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen? cies will identify and cut. regulations in a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told. Americans, era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it. is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and tbrgotten men and women of America. The Of?ce of Intorl?nation and Regulatory Allairs within OMB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and. it looks ?lbrward to making sure that they are fully and successfully imjfilemented over the coming months and. years. OMB-American Oversight-001498 and OMB-17-O119-B-001342 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities while streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). WIC provides grants to States for sup- plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. 0 Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land-grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in?house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OMB-American Oversight-001499 and 12 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE priority agriculture and food. issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc- es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana? lytical ?mcticms, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructin?e, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county office operations, re~ ?eet reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces diiplicative and ui'iderperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities o?fthe Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings 0179595 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the International Food for Education j firograin, wl'iich lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OMB-American Oversight-001500 and OMB-17-O119-B-001344 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $7.8 billion for the Department of Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func- tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, while rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $1.5 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun- damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. 0 Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US. Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, which provides small grants with lim? ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the U. S. Department of Agriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OMB-American Oversight-001501 and 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, local, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entreprineurship includ? ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves SB 1 24 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the annfacturi ng Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centeis, which provide consulting services to small? and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters Would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended when the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal. and marine managemen.t, research, and edu~ cation including Sea Grant, which pril?narily bene?t industry and State and, local stakeholders. 'Qllhese programs are a lower priority than core functions maintaii?ied in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and fisheries management. Maintains the development of NOAA7s current generation of polar orbiting and. geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint l3"olar Satellite System and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters with critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ectng the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro? vides additional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. Maintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion While continuing to promote ef?cient and effective operations. Continues to singiport the National Telecommunications and information Administration in reinfesenting the United States interest at multi?stakeholder forums on internet governance and. digital commerce. The Budget the commercial sector?s development ofnext generz .- tion Wireless services by funding mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OMB-American Oversight-001502 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001346 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, while providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the U. S. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of national defense cuts since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 2021, relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a ful?llment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the U. S. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of $587 billion. This increase alone exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one?year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat, the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 15 OMB-American Oversight-001503 and 16 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE l?hfovides the resources needed. to accelerate the defeat of The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. urgent wai?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapitalr ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. ?l?l?ie President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need. for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cybersjfiace. As the world has become more dangermis? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread ofdestructive technology, and the expansion of terrorism our military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor~ ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductiolris, and preparing for ?iture challenges. This Budget is an. initial. step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by i ncreasing the total number of ships. ?l.?his Budget reflects a own. payment on the commitment to expanding the ?eet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation. for a force that meets the challenges of the 218t Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F435 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is now the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated state actors and transnational terrorist OMB-American Oversight-001504 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001348 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students with disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission while lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department of Education, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title 1, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides States, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special education and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after-school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. 17 OMB-American Oversight-001505 and DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well- targeted way to deliver need~based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation While proposing a cancellation of $8.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and lVliinority?Serving Institutions, which, provide opportunities for communities that are often. underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of miinori ty students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly?targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students Who would bene?t most. l7?rovides $808 million for the Federal lh?ograms and $219 million for GEAR P, resulting in savings of $193 :niillioi'i from the 2017 annualized CR level. F'lintling to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall e?ectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget il?linds GEAR con.tii'iuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation, of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that. do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported with State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, lmpact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OMB-American Oversight-001506 and OMB-17-0119-B-00135O DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY The Department of Energy (DOE) is charged With ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later-stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early?stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job-growth in the near to mid?term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Administration?s strong support for the United States? nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOE, a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Government?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). 0 Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. 0 Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. 0 Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency?Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program and the Advanced Technol ogy Vehicle Manufacturing Program be cause 19 OMB-American Oversight-001507 and 2% DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Office of lilnergy lilf?ciency and Renewable Energy, the Office of Nuclear liner?, the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and. Energy Reliability, and. the Fossil, Energyr Research and li)e?velepment on limited, applied. energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is stronger. In addition, the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State?level energy policy and implementation. (ilollectively, these changes achieve a savings billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cy'l?iersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help hard en and evolve critical. grid that the American people and the economy rely upon. Continues the necessary research, development, and. construction to support the avy?s current nuclear fleet and enhance the capabilities of the future fleet. OMB-American Oversight-001508 and OMB-17-O119-B-001352 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well-being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. In addition, it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long-term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 21st Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-income and vulnerable populations. 0 Strengthens the integrity and sustainability of Medicare and Medicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay-and-chase? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the HCFAC account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. 0 Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. 21 OMB-American Oversight-001509 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001353 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015, has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration medical product user fees to over $2 billion in. 2018, approximately billion. over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pre?Inarket review costs. To conugilenient the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory efficiency and speed the development of safe and eitlective medical products. In a constrained budget enviironment, industries that benefit from FDA's amoroval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending rilative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the. Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and s'tr'uc'tural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and. rebalance Federal contributions to research. funding. key public health, emergencyr preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructures similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States With the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s :rnental heal th. Eliminates $4.03 million in health 1;)rofessions and nursing training programs, which. lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States Where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs Within the Of?ce of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program and the Con?imui?iity Services Block Grant (CSBG), a savings of $11.2 billion from, the 20.1.7 annualized CR level. Compared to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower-impact program and. is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are uplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and en'iployment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OMB-American Oversight-001510 and OMB-17-O119-B-001354 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital mission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the U. S. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in- frastructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the ?ow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally. 0 Enhances enforcement of immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OMB-American Oversight-001511 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001355 24 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold. prioritized. aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E?Verity Program, an internet-based system that allows l1>11si11esses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace With $1.5 billion for DI-IS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cyl'iersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transj ?jortation Security Administration (illSA) and the National Flood. Insurance lF?rograni (N Flt") to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the ilE?assenger Security Fee to recover 75 percent of the cost ojf'l78A. aviation security op erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary aifipropriati on for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pie?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal Government is not supplanting other stakeholders? responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget. also proposes establishing a 25 percent non?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the saline cost?sharing as disaster recovery grants. The activities and. acquisitions funded. through these grant programs are primarily State and local. functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized and underper'torming administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a. savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visihle linerifnodal Prevention and Response program, Which achieves few Federal. law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA. grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to :incentivize lo- cal laW enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detect-ion Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the system. OMB-American Oversight-001512 and OMB-17-0119-B-001356 a) :5 '7 0,984?! 9?0? 4% NT DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) promotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities. This Budget re?ects the President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility while supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low-income and vulnerable households and help work-eligible families achieve self-suf?ciency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re- duce costs while continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well-targeted to the poorest populations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes ?scal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead-safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. 25 OMB-American Oversight-001513 and 28 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING- AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT funding for Section 4.- Capacity Building for Development; and. Affortlable Housing, 3 savings of$35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program is duplicative of efforts funded by philantln?opy and other more ?exible private sector investments. Support-s homeownership through provision of Federal Administration mortgage insur? ance programs. OMB-American Oversight-001514 and OMB-17-O119-B-001358 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (DOI) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs While supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessary or duplicative programs while reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DOI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined With administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue, which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DOI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. 27 OM B-American Oversight-001515 and DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and sel.f-determination across lndian Country by ibcusing on. core funding and services to support ongoing tribal govermnent operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration projects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower pri<1>rity activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in. deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction. and major maintenance programs, Wl?i?ich can rel 3; on existing resources for 2018. l??rovides more than $900 million for DOl?s U. S. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground system, as well as research and data collection that ii'i't'orms sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and natural hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxljiayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States. Supports counties through discretionary funding for the l??ayments in Lieu. of Taxes (131L717) program at a reduced. level, but in line with average funding for over the past decade. OMB-American Oversight-001516 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001360 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE The Department of Justice is charged with enforcing the laws and defending the interests of the United States, ensuring public safety against foreign and domestic threats, providing Federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime, seeking just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior, and ensuring the fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans. The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient. The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the Nation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However, signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world-class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $61 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat foreign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearms purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address Violent crime, gun-related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OMB-American Oversight-001517 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001361 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national. security and. counterterrorisin efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Assures the safety of the public and law enithrcement officers by providing 817']. million above the 2017 annualized CR level. for additional short?term detention space to hold Federal detainees, including criminal aliens, parole violators, and other offenders awaiting trial or sentencing. Safeguards Federal grants to State, local, and tribal law enforcement and Victims of crime to ensure greater safety for law enforcement personnel and the people they serve. Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the Bulletproof Vest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that. either have met their goal. or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted. State Criminal. Alien Assistance Program, in which two-thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost ofincarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a, billion dollars from the 20117 annualized CR level in Federal prison C(mstruction slgiending no to eXcess resulting from an approximate percent decrease in the prison population since 2013. However, the Budget provides 880 :rnillion above the 2017 CR level. for the activation of an. existing facility to reduce high security Fed eral. inmate overcrowding and a total of$113 :rnillio to repair and :rnodernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy??ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight. By increasing quarterly ?ling fees, the total estimated United States Trustee Program offsetting receipts would reach $289 million in 2018. OMB-American Oversight-001518 and OMB-17-O119-B-001362 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR The Department of Labor fosters the welfare of wage earners, job seekers, and retirees by safeguarding their working conditions, bene?ts, and wages. With the need to rebuild the Nation?s military without increasing the de?cit, this Budget focuses the Department of Labor on its highest priority functions and disinvests in activities that are duplicative, unnecessary, unproven, or ineffective. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $9.6 billion for the Department of Labor, a $2.5 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Expands Reemployment and Eligibility Assessments, an evidence-based activity that saves an average of $536 per claimant in unemployment insurance bene?t costs by reducing improper payments and getting claimants back to work more quickly and at higher wages. Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SC SEP), for a savings of $484 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low?income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one-third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shifting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers. Helps States expand apprenticeship, an evidence-based approach to preparing workers for jobs. 31 OMB-American Oversight-001519 and 32 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Refocuses the Of?ce of Disability Enniloynient l??olicy, eliirninatingless critical technical assistance grants and launching an early intervention demonstration prtjiject to allow States to test and evaluate methods that help individuals with disabilities remain attached to or reconnect to the labor market. Eliminates the Occupational Safety and Health Administration?s unproven training grants, yielding savings of almost $11 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and ?:>cusing the agency on its central work of keeping workers safe on the job. OMB-American Oversight-001520 and OMB-17-O119-B-001364 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS The Department of State, the US. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Department of the Treasury?s International Programs help to advance the national security interests of the United States by building a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world. The Budget for the Department of State and USAID diplomatic and development activities is being refocused on priority strategic objectives and renewed attention is being placed on the appropriate U. S. share of international spending. In addition, the Budget seeks to reduce or end direct funding for international organizations whose missions do not substantially advance U. S. foreign policy interests, are duplicative, or are not well-managed. Additional steps will be taken to make the Department and USAID leaner, more ef?cient, and more effective. These steps to reduce foreign assistance free up funding for critical priorities here at home and put America ?rst. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $25.6 billion in base funding for the Department of State and USAID, a $10.1 billion or 28 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also requests $12.0 billion as Overseas Contingency Operations funding for extraordinary costs, primarily in war areas like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, for an agency total of $37.6 billion. The 2018 Budget also requests $1.5 billion for Treasury International Programs, an $803 million or 35 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Maintains robust funding levels for embassy security and other core diplomatic activities while implementing ef?ciencies. Consistent with the Benghazi Accountability Review Board recom? mendation, the Budget applies $2.2 billion toward new embassy construction and maintenance in 2018. Maintaining adequate embassy security levels requires the ef?cient and effective use of available resources to keep embassy employees safe. 0 Provides $3.1 billion to meet the security assistance commitment to Israel, currently at an all? time high; ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats and maintain its Qualitative Military Edge. 0 Eliminates the Global Climate Change Initiative and ful?lls the President?s pledge to cease payments to the United Nations? (UN) climate change programs by eliminating U.S. funding related to the Green Climate Fund and its two precursor Climate Investment Funds. 0 Provides suf?cient resources on a path to ful?ll the $1 billion US. pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This commitment helps support Gavi to vaccinate hundreds of millions of children in low-resource countries and save millions of lives. 33 OMB-American Oversight-001521 and 34 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS 0 Provides suf?cient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on treatment under the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and maintains funding for malaria programs. The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign irnili?tary assistance from. grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the U. S. While potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American-made weaponry with US. assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and affiliated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared mori fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib? ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. 0 Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by ngli'lzsi.zi.1'i.g funding across countries and sectors. Allows for significant funding of hlnnanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu~ gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?governmental relief organizations to become more ef?cient and effective. 0 Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around. the globe. 0 Improves efficiency by eliminating overlamiing peacekeeping and security capacity building ef- forts and. contingency programs, such as the Complex Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct to small organizations that receive funding from. other sources and can continue to operate Without direct Federal funds, such as the East-West Center. 0 Recognizes the need for State and to pursue greater efficiencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. 0 Reduces funding for multilateral development hanks, including the World Bank, by approximate? ly $650 million over three years compared. to commitments made by the previous administration- Even with the proposed. decreases, the US. would retain its current status as a, top donor While saving taxpayer dollars. OMB-American Oversight-001522 and OMB-17-O119-B-001366 ((36 OF 317 SUITES ?2 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION The Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for ensuring a fast, safe, ef?cient, accessible, and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people today, and into the future. The Budget request re?ects a streamlined DOT that is focused on performing vital Federal safety oversight functions and investing in nationally and regionally signi?cant transportation infrastructure projects. The Budget reduces or eliminates programs that are either inef?cient, duplicative of other Federal efforts, or that involve activities that are better delivered by States, localities, or the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $16.2 billion for discretionary budget, a $2.4 billion or 13 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Initiates a multi?year reauthorization proposal to shift the air traf?c control function of the Federal Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization, making the system more ef?cient and innovative while maintaining safety. This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. 0 Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its State?supported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program (New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. 0 Eliminates funding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 35 OMB-American Oversight-001523 and 38 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates handing for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation f<3>rmula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and l?lighway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimoclal freight projects With national or regional bene?ts. This grant program is authorized at an annual average of $900 million through 2020. OMB-American Oversight-001524 and OMB-17-O119-B-001368 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY The Department of the Treasury is charged with maintaining a strong economy, promoting conditions that enable economic growth and stability, protecting the integrity of the ?nancial system, and managing the US. Government?s ?nances and resources effectively. The Budget will bring renewed discipline to the Department by focusing resources on collecting revenue, managing the Nation?s debt, protecting the ?nancial system from threats, and combating ?nancial crime and terrorism ?nancing. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $12.1 billion in discretionary resources for the Department of the Treasury?s domestic programs, a $519 million or 4.1 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. The President?s 2018 Budget: Preserves key operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that the IRS could continue to combat identity theft, prevent fraud, and reduce the de?cit through the effective enforcement and administration of tax laws. Diverting resources from antiquated operations that are still reliant on paper-based review in the era of electronic tax ?ling would achieve sig? ni?cant savings, a funding reduction of $239 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity by investing in a Department?wide plan to strategically enhance existing security systems and preempt fragmentation of information technology management across the bureaus, positioning Treasury to anticipate and nimbly respond in the event of a cyberattack. Prioritizes funding for Treasury?s array of economic enforcement tools. Key Treasury programs that freeze the accounts of terrorists and proliferators, implement sanctions on rogue nations, and link law enforcement agencies with ?nancial institutions are critical to the continued safety and ?nancial stability of the Nation. Eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund grants, a savings of $210 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The CDFI Fund was created more than 20 years ago to jump?start a now mature industry where private institutions have ready access to the capital needed to extend credit and provide ?nancial services to underserved communities. 37 OMB-American Oversight-001525 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001369 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Empowers the Treasury Secretary, as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight;- Council, to end taxpayer bailouts and foster economic growth by advancing ?nancial regulatory reforms that promote market discipline and ensure the accountability cf ?nancial regulators. Shrinks the Federal workforce and increases its ef?ciency by redirecting resources away from duplicative policy of?ces to staff that manage the Nation?s ?nances. OMB-American Oversight-001526 and OMB-17-O119-B-001370 0 32;; DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care and a wide variety of bene?ts to military veterans and their survivors. The 2018 Budget ful?lls the President?s commitment to the Nation?s veterans by requesting the resources necessary to provide the support our veterans have earned through sacri?ce and service to our Nation. The Budget signi?cantly increases funding for VA Medical Care so that VA can continue to meet the ever?growing demand for health care services while building an integrated system of care that strengthens services within VA and makes effective use of community services. The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase ?om the 2017 enacted level. The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro- vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. 0 Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad range of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. 0 Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action, this criti? cal program Will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. 0 Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at?risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. 0 Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OMB-American Oversight-001527 and OMB-17-O119-B-001371 40 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans" disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im- prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid. the costs of nfiaintazining outdated, inef?cient systems. OMB-American Oversight-001528 and OMB-17-O119-B-001372 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation?s environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers without justi?able environmental bene?ts. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21St Century. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health. The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related efforts?saving over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection Violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce of Enforcement 41 OMB-American Oversight-001529 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001373 42 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, which is $129 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 0RD would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing SillAR grants. Categorical Grants with. $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with. the broader strategy ofstreamlini 1.1g environmental };)rotection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Ili?ederal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Rest<3>ration initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic: program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Elii'ninates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 al'mnalized CR level. Lower :priorit3r and poorly periorming programs and. grants are not funded, nor are duplicative fui'ictions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disrupt-or Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the Mexico Border. OMB-American Oversight-001530 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001374 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world-leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public-private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth-centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve U. S. space goals and bene?t the economy. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for NASA, a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports and expands public-private partnerships as the foundation of future U. S. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates new opportunities for collaboration with industry on space station operations, supports public-private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. 0 Paves the way for eventual over-land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. 0 Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly fly by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost-effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA Will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-3, DSCOVR 43 OMB-American Oversight-001531 and 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTIC AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth-Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science Mission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency. Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration to reduce its cost and better position it to support a. nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in. a savings of $88 million from the 2017 an?lilualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safegua?ding critical systems and data. OMB-American Oversight-001532 and OMB-17-O119-B-001376 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive U.S. competitiveness, and help grow the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. 0 Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?- ciently serve program participants while achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR level. 0 Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi? ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. 0 Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. 0 Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro- mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. 0 Maintains $28 million in microloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength? en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups. 0 Allows SBA to advocate and assist small businesses in accessing Federal contracts and small business research opportunities Government-wide. 45 OMB-American Oversight-001533 and OMB-17-O119-B-001377 OMB-American Oversight-001534 and OMB-17-O119-B-001378 Summary Tables OMB-American Oversight-001535 and OMB-17-O119-B-001379 OMB-American Oversight-001536 and OMB-17-O119-B-001380 AMERICA FIRST: A BUDGET BLUEPRINT TO MAKE AME RICA GREAT AGAIN 49 Table 1.

The request includes an additional $30_billion for the Department of Defense to rebuild the U.S. Armed ForCes and accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), and an additional $3 billion for the Department of Homeland SeCurity (DHS3 for urgent.border protection activities. This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the 6.8, Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernizatien, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military farce. The reqUest also includes $5.1 billion in the OverSeas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan; This request would enable DOD to pursue a cemprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion fer DHS implementation of my-executive orders on border security and immigratiOn enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, an? construct a physical Wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical bor?er infrastructure and technology. The request also proyeses funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from_the:United States- Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DHS so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?001545 and OMB-17-O119-B-001389 2 In conjunction'with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non?defense discretionary r?ductions;of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts preposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proyoeed for DOD. The details of this proposal are set forthjin the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Sincerely, The Honorable Paul D.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?001575 and OMB-17-O119-B-001419 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?001576 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OM B-American Oversight?001577 and OMB-17-O119-B-001421 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?001578 and OMB-17-O119-B-001422 OMB-American Oversight?001579 and OMB-17-O119-B-001423 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. OM B-American Oversight?001580 and OMB-17-O119-B-001424 OMB-American Oversight?001581 and OMB-17-O119-B-001425 MANAGEMENT Making Government Work Again The Federal Government can?and should? operate more effectively, ef?ciently, and securely. For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?001582 and OMB-17-O119-B-001426 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?001583 and OMB-17-O119-B-001427 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?001584 and OMB-17-O119-B-001428 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?001585 and OMB-17-O119-B-001429 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight?001586 and OMB-17-O119-B-00143O 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OM B-American Oversight?001587 and OMB-17-O119-B-001431 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OM B-American Oversight?001588 and OMB-17-O119-B-001432 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides ad ditional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth. orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. lVIaintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote efficient and effective operaticms. Continues to support the Nationai Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stalieholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera- tion Wireless services by funding N?TliA?s mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OM B-American Oversight?001589 and OMB-17-O119-B-001433 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?001590 and OMB-17-O119-B-001434 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OMB-American Oversight?001591 and OMB-17-O119-B-001435 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides Stat-es, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special. education. and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion. from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. OM B-American Oversight-001592 and OMB-17-O119-B-001436 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well? targ?eted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported With State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OM B-American Oversight?001593 and OMB-17-O119-B-001437 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY rl?he Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy. environmental, and nuclear challenges through transforxnative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Governlnent?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). 0 Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. 0 Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. 0 Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency?Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program because 19 OM B-American Oversight-001594 and OMB-17-O119-B-001438 2O DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Of?ce of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Of?ce of Nuclear Energy, the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the Fossil Energy Research and Development program on limited, early-stage applied energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is Stronger. In addition? the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State-level energy policy and implementation. Collectively, these changes achieve a savings of approximately $2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cybersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help harden and evolve critical grid infrastructure that the American. people and the economy rely upon. Continues the necessary research, development, and construction to support the Navy?s current nuclear ?eet and enhance the capabilities of the future ?eet. OM B-American Oversight?001595 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001439 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Hulnan Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well-being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine: public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. OM B?American Oversight-001596 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015. has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OM B-American Oversight?001597 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001441 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B-American Oversight?001598 and OMB-17-O119-B-001442 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OM B-American Oversight?001599 and OMB-17-O119-B-001443 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pronlotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities. This Budget re?ects the President?s conimitnlent to fiscal responsibility While supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low?income and vulnerable households and help work?eligible families achieve self?suf?ciency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re duce costs While continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results.

However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?001604 and OMB-17-O119-B-001448 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and lVIigration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?govermnental relief organizations to become more efficient and effective. Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. linproves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef? forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex. Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to c01n1nitments Inade by the previous administration.

This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak, to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options Within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its Statens upported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program {New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates fun ding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level- OMB-American Oversight-001610 and OMB-17-O119-B-001454 36 OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight anci Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts.

The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?001662 and OMB-17-O119-B-001506 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?001663 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OM B-American Oversight?001664 and OMB-17-O119-B-001508 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?001665 and OMB-17-O119-B-001509 OMB-American Oversight?001666 and OMB-17-O119-B-00151O AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?001669 and OMB-17-O119-B-001513 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?001670 and OMB-17-O119-B-001514 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OMB-American Oversight?001671 and OMB-17-O119-B-001515 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?001672 and OMB-17-O119-B-001516 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight?001673 and OMB-17-O119-B-001517 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OM B-American Oversight?001674 and OMB-17-O119-B-001518 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OM B-American Oversight?001675 and OMB-17-O119-B-001519 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides ad ditional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth. orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. lVIaintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote efficient and effective operaticms. Continues to support the Nationai Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stalieholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera- tion Wireless services by funding N?TliA?s mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OM B-American Oversight?001676 and OMB-17-O119-B-001520 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?001677 and OMB-17-O119-B-001521 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces.

Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OM B-American Oversight?001678 and OMB-17-O119-B-001522 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides Stat-es, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special. education. and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion. from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. OM B-American Oversight-001679 and OMB-17-O119-B-001523 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well? targ?eted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported With State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OM B-American Oversight?001680 and OMB-17-O119-B-001524 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY rl?he Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy. environmental, and nuclear challenges through transforxnative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Governlnent?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). 0 Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. 0 Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. 0 Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency?Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program because 19 OMB-American Oversight-001681 and OMB-17-O119-B-001525 2O DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Of?ce of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, the Of?ce of Nuclear Energy, the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the Fossil Energy Research and Development program on limited, early-stage applied energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is Stronger. In addition? the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State-level energy policy and implementation. Collectively, these changes achieve a savings of approximately $2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cybersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help harden and evolve critical grid infrastructure that the American. people and the economy rely upon. Continues the necessary research, development, and construction to support the Navy?s current nuclear ?eet and enhance the capabilities of the future ?eet. OM B-American Oversight?001682 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001526 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Hulnan Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well-being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine: public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, hlcdicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. OM B?American Oversight-001683 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015. has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OM B-American Oversight?001684 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001528 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B-American Oversight?001685 and OMB-17-O119-B-001529 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system.

This Budget re?ects the President?s conimitnlent to fiscal responsibility While supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low?income and vulnerable households and help work?eligible families achieve self?suf?ciency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re duce costs While continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity.

The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs while supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessarj,r or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DUI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement.

Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US.

The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient- The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the Nation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration- The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Safeguards Federal grants to State, local, and tribal law enforcement and victims of crime to ensure greater safety for law enforcement personnel. and the people they serve. Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the BulletproofVest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight.

Eliminates the Occupational Safety and Health Administration?s unproven training grants, yielding savings of almost $11 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and focusing the agency on its central work of keeping workers safe on the job. OM B-American Oversight?001694 and OMB-17-O119-B-001538 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS The Department of State, the US. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Department of the Treasury?s International Programs help to advance the national security interests oi'the United States by building a more democratic, secure, and prosperous worid. The Budget for the Department of State and USAID diplomatic and development activities is being refocused on priority strategic objectives and renewed attention is being placed on the appropriate US- share ofinternational spending. In addition, the Budget seeks to reduce or end direct funding for international organizations Whose missions do not substantially advance US- foreign policy interests, are duplicative, or are not well-managed- Additional steps Will be taken to make the Department and USAID leaner, more efficient, and more effective. These steps to reduce foreign assistance free up funding for critical priorities here at home and put America ?rst. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $25.6 billion in base funding for the Department of State and USAID, a $10.1 billion or 28 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also requests $12.0 billion as Overseas Contingency Operations funding for extraordinary costs, primarily in war areas like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, for an agency total of $37.6 billion. The 2018 Budget also requests $1.5 billion for Treasury International Programs, an $803 million or 35 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: lVIaintains robust funding levels for embassy security and other core diplomatic activities While implementing ef?ciencies. Consistent With the Benghazi Accountability Review Board recom~ mendation, the Budget applies $2.2 billion toward new embassy construction and maintenance in 2018. Nlaintaining adequate embassy security levels requires the ef?cient and effective use of available resources to keep embassy elnployees safe, 4' Provides $3.1 billion to meet the security assistance commitment to Israel, currently at an all- time high; ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats and maintain its Qualitative Military Edge. 0 Eliminates the Global Climate Change Initiative and ful?lls the President?s pledge to cease payments to the United Nations? (UN) climate change programs by eliminating funding related to the Green Climate Fund and its two precursor Climate Investment Funds. Provides suf?cient resources on a path to ful?ll the $1 billion US. pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This commitment helps support Gavi to vaccinate hundreds of millions of children in low?resource countries and save millions of lives. 33 OM B-American Oversight?001695 and OMB-17-O119-B-001539 34 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAIVIS Provides suf?cient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on treatment under the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and maintains funding for malaria programs. The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and lVIigration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?govermnental relief organizations to become more efficient and effective. Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. linproves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef? forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex. Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to c01n1nitments Inade by the previous administration. Even with the proposed decreases, the US. would retain its current status as a top donor While saving taxpayer dollars. OM B-American Oversight?001696 and OMB-17-O119-B-001540 ?5 Cd: {at at or6293 i at?! P74 7'53 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION The Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for ensuring a fast, safe, ef?cient, accessible, and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people today, and into the future. The Budget request re?ects a streamlined DOT that is focused on performing vital Federal safety oversight functions and investing in nationally and regionally signi?cant transportation intrastructure projects. The Budget reduces or eliminates programs that are either inef?cient, duplicative of other Federal efforts, or that involve activities that are better delivered by States, localities, or the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $16.2 billion for discretionary budget, a $2.4 billion or 13 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Initiates a niulti-year reauthorization proposal to shift the air traffic control function of the Federal. Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization, making the system more ef?cient and innovative While maintaining safety. This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak, to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options Within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its Statens upported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program {New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates fun ding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level- OM B-American Oversight-001697 and OMB-17-O119-B-001541 36 OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts. This grant program is authorized at an annual average of $900 million through 2020. OMB-American Oversight?001698 and OMB-17-O119-B-001542 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY The Department of the Treasury is charged with inain'taining a strong economy, promo ting conditions that enable econonlic growth and stability, protecting the integrity of the ?nancial system, and managing the US. Government?s ?nances and resources effectively. The Budget will bring renewed discipline to the Department by focusing resources on collecting revenue, managing the Nations debt, protecting the ?nancial system from threats, and combating ?nancial crime and terrorism financing. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $12.1 billion in discretionary resources for the Department of the Treasury?s domestic programs, a $519 million or 4.1 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. The President?s 2018 Budget: Preserves key operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that the IRS could continue to combat identity theft, prevent fraud, and reduce the de?cit through the effective enforcement and administration of tax laws. Diverting resources from antiquated operations that are still reliant on paper-based review in the era of electronic tax ?ling would achieve sig? ni?cant savings, a funding reduction of $239 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity by investing in a Department?Wide plan to strategically enhance existing security systems and preempt fragmentation of information technology management across the bureaus, positioning Treasury to anticipate and nimbly respond in the event of a cyberattack. Prioritizes funding for Treasury?s. array of economic enforcement tools. Key Treasury programs that freeze the accounts of terrorists and proliferators, implement sanctions on rogue nations, and link law enforcement agencies with ?nancial institutions are critical to the continued safety and ?nancial stability of the Nation. Eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund grants, a savings of $210 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The CDFI Fund was created more than 20 years ago to jump-start a now mature industry Where private institutions have ready access to the capital needed to extend credit and provide ?nancial services to underserved communities. 37 OM B-American Oversight-001699 and OMB-17-O119-B-001543 38 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Empowers the Treasury Secretary, as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, to end taxpayer bailouts and foster economic growth by advancing ?nancial regulatory reforms that promote market. discipline and ensure the accountability of ?nancial regulators. Shrinks the Federal workforce and increases its ef?ciency by redirecting resources away from duplicative policy of?ces to staff that manage the Nation?s ?nances. OMB-American Oversight?001700 and OMB-17-O119-B-001544 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care and a Wide variety of bene?ts to military veterans and their survivors. The 2018 Budget ful?lls the President?s commitment to the Nation?s veterans by requesting the resources necessary to provide the support our veterans have earned through sacri?ce and service to our Nation. The Budget signi?cantly increases funding for VA Medical Care so that VA can continue to meet the ever?growing demand for health care services While building an integrated system of care that strengthens services Within VA and makes effective use of community services. The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. rl?he Presidentgs 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase from the 2017 enacted level, The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro? vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad ran go of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. 0 Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action; this criti- cal program Will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. 0 Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at?risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. 0 Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OMB-American Oversight?001701 and OMB-17-O119-B-001545 4O DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans? disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im- prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid the costs of maintaining outdated, inef?cient systems. OMB-American Oversight?001702 and OMB-17-O119-B-001546 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health- The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?001703 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border. OM B-American Oversight?001704 and OMB-17-O119-B-001548 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth?centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation offuturc US. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates newr opportunities for collaboration With industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System. by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-S, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-001705 and OMB-17-O119-B-001549 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth?Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants.

The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants While achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR. level- Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi? ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs Where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro~ mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. l\/Iaintains $28 million in inicroloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength- en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups.

The request includes an additional $30 billion for the Department of Defense (DOD) to rebuild the U.s. Armed Forces and accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and an additional $3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for urgent border protection activities. This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military force. The request also includes $5.1 billion in the Overseas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan. This request would enable DOD to pursue a comprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion for DHS implementation of my executive orders on border security and immigration enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical border infrastructure and technology. The request also proposes funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from the United States. Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DES so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?001719 and OMB-17-O119-B-001563 2 In conjunction with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non~defense discretionary reductions of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts proposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proposed for DOD. The details of this proposal are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Sincerely, The Honorable Paul D. Ryan Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 OMB-American Oversight?001720 and OMB-17-O119-B-001564 Estimate No. 1 115th Congress. Session EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, DC. 20503 . . pr?? Misty} THE DIRECTOR March 14, 2017 The President The White House Dear Mr. President: Submitted for your consideration is a request for additional appropriations to address the urgent needs of the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Homeland Security (DHS) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. An additional $24.9 billion is included to address immediate war?ghting readiness needs at DOD. An additional $5.1 billion, to be designated for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), is included for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and continue support for Operation Freedom?s Sentinel (OPS) in Afghanistan. An additional $3 billion is requested for DHS to address urgent border protection activities. This request for additional appropriations re?ects the Administration's commitment to strengthen our national security by rebuilding the US. Armed Forces and protecting our borders. As the following chart illustrates, together with a recommended reduction of $1 8 billion in non?defense discretionary amounts in FY 2017, total funding would increase by $15 billion. (FY 2017. amounts in billions} Current Law Request Change Defense Base $551 $576 +$25 Defense 0C0 $65 $70 Nondefense $519 $504 -$15 DHS request Recommended Reductions 18 Total Change +$15 The additional amounts requested for the DOD base budget would provide funding for urgent war?ghting readiness needs that are necessary to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The appropriations request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. The request is a ?rst step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable force. The amounts requested for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support OFS in Afghanistan are designated as OCO pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency De?cit Control Act of 1985, as amended. This request would enable DOD to support a comprehensive, whole?of?Government strategy to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its flows of ?nancing. The OMB-American Oversight-001721 and OMB-17-O119-B-001565 request also supports ongoing U.S. efforts through OFS to prevent threats to the US. homeland, our allies, and interests abroad from ISIS, al Qaeda, and their af?liated or associated groups. These investments also complement additional US. support for the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces requested on November 10, 2016. The amounts requested for DHS support implementation of your Executive Orders on border security and immigration enforcement. Funds requested for US. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would support high priority tactical infrastructure and border security technology investments, including efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border. The request also includes funding for DHS components to begin building the administrative capacity necessary to recruit, hire, train, and equip an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents and 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and agents, as you directed. Further, the request proposes funding to increase daily immigration detention capacity to 45,700 detention beds by the end of FY 2017. This additional detention capacity is necessary to implement your policies for removing illegal aliens from the United States by enhancing interior enforcement efforts and ending "catch and release" for those apprehended at the border. Funding proposed for DI IS would also be used to establish a real~time border and immigration data integration system within the Of?ce of Immigration Statistics, and for other new border and immigration analyses. The enclosed materials summarize the proposed amendments to the FY 2017 Budget and requested supplemental appropriations, as well as new legal authorities that the Administration requires to implement these programs.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?001749 and OMB-17-O119-B-001593 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?001750 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OMB-American Oversight?001751 and OMB-17-O119-B-001595 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney 03 OM B-American Oversight?001752 and OMB-17-O119-B-001596 OMB-American Oversight?001753 and OMB-17-O119-B-001597 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?001756 and OMB-17-0119-B-001600 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?001757 and OMB-17-O119-B-001601 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?001758 and OMB-17-O119-B-001602 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?001759 and OMB-17-O119-B-001603 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight?001760 and OMB-17-O119-B-001604 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OMB-American Oversight?001761 and OMB-17-0119-B-001605 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OM B-American Oversight?001762 and OMB-17-O119-B-001606 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides ad ditional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth. orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. lVIaintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote efficient and effective operaticms. Continues to support the Nationai Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stalieholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera- tion Wireless services by funding N?TliA?s mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OM B-American Oversight?001763 and OMB-17-O119-B-001607 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?001764 and OMB-17-O119-B-001608 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OM B-American Oversight?001765 and OMB-17-O119-B-001609 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides Stat-es, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special. education. and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion. from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. OM B-American Oversight-001766 and OMB-17-O119-B-00161O 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well? targ?eted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported With State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs.

The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program.

The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-inconie and vulnerable populations. Strengthens the integrity and sustainability ofNIedicare and lVIedicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care. Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for hicdicarc Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay?and?chasc? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level.

In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OMB-American Oversight?001771 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001615 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B-American Oversight?001772 and OMB-17-O119-B-001616 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OM B-American Oversight?001773 and OMB-17-O119-B-001617 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pronlotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities.

Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OM B-American Oversight?001774 and OMB-17-O119-B-001618 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPIVIENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, 21 savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level.

The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs while supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessarj,r or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DUI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DUI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. OM B-American Oversight?001776 and OMB-17-O119-B-001620 28 OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self?determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration proiects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground. system? as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and naturai hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression. expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States.

This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?001778 and OMB-17-O119-B-001622 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the BulletproofVest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight.

This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad ran go of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. 0 Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action; this criti- cal program Will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. 0 Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at?risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. 0 Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OM B-American Oversight?001788 and OMB-17-O119-B-001632 4O DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans? disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im- prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid the costs of maintaining outdated, inef?cient systems. OMB-American Oversight?001789 and OMB-17-O119-B-001633 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health- The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?001790 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border. OMB-American Oversight?001791 and OMB-17-O119-B-001635 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth?centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation offuturc US. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates newr opportunities for collaboration With industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System. by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-S, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-001792 and OMB-17-O119-B-001636 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth?Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science IVIission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration mission to reduce its cost and better position it to support a nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in a savings of $88 million from the 201?? annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safeguarding critical systems and data. OM B-American Oversight?001793 and OMB-17-O119-B-001637 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive US. competitiveness, and help grov.r the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants While achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR. level- Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi? ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs Where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro~ mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. l\/Iaintains $28 million in inicroloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength- en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups. Allows SBA to advocate and assist small businesses in accessing Federal contracts and small business research opportunities Government-Wide. 45 OM B-American Oversight?001794 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001638 OMB-American Oversight?001795 and OMB-17-O119-B-001639 Summary Tables 47 OMB-American Oversight?001796 and OMB-17-O119-B-00164O OMB-American Oversight?001797 and OMB-17-O119-B-001641 ABIERICA FIRST: A BUDGET BLUEPRINT TO RIAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 49 Table 1.

Web address: http:/ OM B-American Oversight?001862 and AMERICA FIRST Beginning a New Chapter of AInerican Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget of the United States. Accordingly, I submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizens?a Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter of American greatness. A budget that puts America ?rst must make the safety of our people its number one prioritym because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint. To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides for one of the largest increases in defense spending without increasing the debt; signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi- gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Border Patrol; increases funding to address violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and puts America ?rst by keeping more of America?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding of our Nation?s military without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when called upon to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the world?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting Violent offenders behind bars. OM B-American Oversight?001863 and OMB-17-O119-B-001707 The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well-being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look forward to engaging the Congress and enacting this America First Budget. Donald J. Trump OM B-American Oversight?001864 and OMB-17-O119-B-001708 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is why you will ?nd here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes, and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty, this Budget makes security priority one. It does so while meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget while paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion. national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. American families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time Washington does the same. Mick Mulvaney OM B-American Oversight?001865 and OMB-17-O119-B-001709 OMB-American Oversight?001866 and OMB-17-O119-B-00171O MAJOR AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full ?scal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one ofhis top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with commonsense regulatory, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter?American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment Corporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. OM B-American Oversight?001867 and OMB-17-O119-B-001711 OMB-American Oversight?001868 and OMB-17-O119-B-001712 MANAGEMENT Making Government Work Again The Federal Government can?and should? operate more effectively, ef?ciently, and securely. For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking bold action now to make GOVernment Work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a lon g?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on March 13, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will be required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen. Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s Management Agenda will set goals in areas that are critical to im- proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersccurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly performing organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high-quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. We will use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government-wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions. OM B-American Oversight?001869 and OMB-17-O119-B-001713 As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while holding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB will review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low?value requirements. . Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high-performing program results and services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. deSpite years of efforts to improve these critical management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. MANAGEMENT deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu? tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills, and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will also regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is OM B-American Oversight?001870 and OMB-17-O119-B-001714 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and ef?cient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost?effective manner, and often have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for yearsw?even if they made sense at the time-?have gone unexamined and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s Chief of Staff issued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. . Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. It also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of all new regulations be no greater than For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi?cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. . Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the re as on the President signed Executive Order 1377 7 ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities. These new teams will OMB-American Oversight?001871 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001715 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef- forts to repeal, replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a widely rec? ognized and bi?partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? ?When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women of America. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs within OMB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and successfully implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?001872 and OMB-17-O119-B-001716 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long?term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities while streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $17 .9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in-plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (W10). W10 provides grants to States for sup- plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low?income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. 0 Continues to support farmer-focused research and extension partnerships at land-grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in?house research funding Within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight-001873 and OMB-17-O119-B-001717 12 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc- es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re? ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OM B-American Oversight?001874 and OMB-17-O119-B-001718 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $7 .8 billion for the Department of Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func- tions, including the anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $1.5 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. 0 Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration Within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US. Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, which provides small grants with lim? ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US. Department of Agriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OM B-American Oversight?001875 and OMB-17-O119-B-001719 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, local, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship includ? ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. aves $124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended when the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu? cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. Maintains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint Polar Satellite System and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters with critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides additional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. Maintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote ef?cient and effective operations. Continues to support the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (N TIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stakeholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera tion wireless services by funding mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OM B?American Oversight?001876 and DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, while providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of national defense cuts since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 2021, relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a ful?llment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of $587 billion. This increase alone exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat, the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 15 OM B?American Oversight-001877 and 16 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital? ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip- ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace. As the world has become more dangerous"? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technology, and the expansion of terrorism?our military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor- ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget re?ects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the ?eet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges of the 21St Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is now the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated state actors and transnational terrorist groups. OM B-American Oversight?001878 and OMB-17-O119-B-001722 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students with disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission while lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department of Education, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student- based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides States, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special education and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with. scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of$1.2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. 17 OM B-American Oversight-001879 and 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well- targeted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for communities that are often un derserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported with State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OM B-American Oversight?001880 and OMB-17-O119-B-001724 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY The Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic ob?growth in the near to mid?term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Administration?s strong support for the United States? nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOE, a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Government?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. - Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program because 19 OMB-American Oversight-001881 and OMB-17-O119-B-001725 20 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Of?ce of Energy Ef?ciency and Renewable Energy, the Of?ce of Nuclear Energy, the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the Fossil Energy Research and Development program on limited, early?stage applied energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is stronger. In addition, the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State?level energy policy and implementation. Collectively, these changes achieve a savings of approximately $2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level? Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cybersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help harden and evolve critical grid infrastructure that the American people and the economy rely upon. Continues the necessary research, development, and construction to support the Navy?s current nuclear ?eet and enhance the capabilities of the future ?eet. OM B-American Oversight?001882 and OMB-17-O119-B-001726 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well?being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. In addition, it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well?being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long-term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 21st Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-income and vulnerable populations. 0 Strengthens the integrity and sustainability of Medicare and Medicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay-and?chase? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the HCFAC account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014-2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. 0 Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. 21 OM B-American Oversight-001883 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015, has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pre-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructures similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s mental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States Where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs Within the Of?ce of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), a savings of $4.2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower-impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited-impact program. OM B-American Oversight?001884 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001728 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a vital mission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in- frastructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the ?ow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally. 0 Enhances enforcement of immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B?American Oversight-001885 OMB-17-O112-B and 24 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E?Verify Program, an internet?based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to reCOVer 7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pre?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal Government is not supplanting other stakeholders? responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent non?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost-sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized and underperforming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo? cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op? erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system.

This Budget re?ects the President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility While supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low-income and vulnerable households and help work-eligible families achieve self-sufficiency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re- duce costs While continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well-targeted to the poorest populations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes ?scal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead?based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OM B-American Oversight?001887 and 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, a savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level.

Supports homeownership through provision of Federal Housing Administration mortgage insur? ance programs. OMB-American Oversight?001888 and OMB-17-O119-B-001732 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (D01) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and U.S.?af?liated island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs While supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessary or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DOI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry With access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. - Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue, which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. 0 Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management.

Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground system, as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and natural hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10-year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States.

The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient. The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the ation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However, signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and Will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $61 million. more to ?ght terrorism and combat foreign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearms purchase background checks, and develop and refine evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun-related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OMB-American Oversight-001891 and 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys with law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Enhances border security and immigration enforcement by providing 60 additional border enforcement prosecutors and 40 deputy US. Marshals for the apprehension, transportation, and prosecution of criminal. aliens. Supports the addition of 20 attorneys to pursue Federal efforts to obtain the land and holdings necessary to secure the Southwest border and another 20 attorneys and support staff for immigration litigation assistance. Assures the safety of the public and law enforcement of?cers by providing $171 million above the 2017 annualized CR level for additional short-term detention space to hold Federal detainees, including criminal aliens, parole violators, and other offenders awaiting trial or sentencing. Safeguards Federal grants to State, local, and tribal law enforcement and victims of crime to ensure greater safety for law enforcement personnel and the people they serve. Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the Bulletproof Vest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two-thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2013. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 2017 annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy??ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight.

With the need to rebuild the Nation?s military without increasing the de?cit. this Budget focuses the Department of Labor on its highest priority functions and disinvests in activities that are duplicative, unnecessary, unproven, or ineffective. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $9.6 billion for the Department of Labor, a $2.5 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Expands Reemployment and Eligibility Assessments, an evidence-based activity that saves an average of $538 per claimant in unemployment insurance bene?t costs by reducing improper payments and getting claimants back to work more quickly and at higher wages. Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), for a savings of $434 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low-income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one-third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shifting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers. Helps States expand apprenticeship, an evidence-based approach to preparing workers for jobs. 31 OM B?American Oversight-001893 and 32 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Refocuses the Of?ce of Disability Employment Policy, eliminating less critical technical assistance grants and launching an early intervention demonstration project to allow States to test and evaluate methods that help individuals with disabilities remain attached to or reconnect to the labor market. Eliminates the Occupational Safety and Health Administration?s unproven training grants, yielding savings of almost $11 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and focusing the agency on its central work of keeping workers safe on the job. OM B-American Oversight?001894 and OMB-17-O119-B-001738 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS The Department of State, the US. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Department of the Treasury?s International Programs help to advance the national security interests of the United States by building a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world. The Budget for the Department of State and USAID diplomatic and development activities is being refocused on priority strategic objectives and renewed attention is being placed on the appropriate US. share of international spending. In addition, the Budget seeks to reduce or end direct funding for international organizations whose missions do not substantially advance US. foreign policy interests, are duplicative, or are not well-managed. Additional steps will be taken to make the Department and USAID leaner, more ef?cient, and more effective. These steps to reduce foreign assistance free up funding for critical priorities here at home and put America ?rst. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $25.6 billion in base funding for the Department of State and USAID, a $10.1 billion or 28 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also requests $12.0 billion as Overseas Contingency Operations funding for extraordinary costs, primarily in war areas like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, for an agency total. of $37 .6 billion. The 2018 Budget also requests $1.5 billion. for Treasury International Programs, an $803 million or 35 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Maintains robust funding levels for embassy security and other core diplomatic activities while implementing ef?ciencies. Consistent with the Benghazi Accountability Review Board recom- mendation, the Budget applies $2.2 billion toward new embassy construction and maintenance in 2018. Maintaining adequate embassy security levels requires the ef?cient and effective use of available resources to keep embassy employees safe. Provides $3.1 billion. to meet the security assistance commitment to Israel, currently at an all- time high; ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats and maintain its Qualitative Military Edge. Eliminates the Global Climate Change Initiative and ful?lls the President?s pledge to cease payments to the United Nations? (UN) climate change programs by eliminating US. funding related to the Green Climate Fund and its two precursor Climate Investment Funds. 0 Provides suf?cient resources on a path to ful?ll the $1 billion US. pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This commitment helps support Gavi to vaccinate hundreds of millions of children in low?resource countries and save millions of lives. OM B?American Oversight-001895 and 34 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS Provides suf?cient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on treatment under the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and maintains funding for malaria programs. The Budget also meets U.S. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. 0 Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American-made weaponry with US. assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib? ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. 0 Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu? gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas while asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internationn a1 and non?governmental relief organizations to become more ef?cient and effective. 0 Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (ECE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. 0 Improves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef- forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. 0 Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. 0 Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to commitments made by the previous administration. Even with the proposed decreases, the US. would retain its current status as a top donor while saving taxpayer dollars. OM B-American Oversight?001896 and OMB-17-O119-B-00174O 3- &6 OF (g 0 TM Nous DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION The Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for ensuring a fast, safe, ef?cient, accessible, and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people today, and into the future. The Budget request re?ects a streamlined DOT that is focused on performing vital Federal safety oversight functions and investing in nationally and regionally signi?cant transportation infrastructure projects. The Budget reduces or eliminates programs that are either inef?cient, duplicative of other Federal efforts, or that involve activities that are better delivered by States, localities, or the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $16.2 billion for discretionary budget, a $2.4 billion or 13 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: - Initiates a multi?year reauthorization proposal to shift the air traf?c control function of the Federal Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization, making the system more ef?cient and innovative while maintaining safety. This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its State-supported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program (New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates funding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 0., DI OM B-American Oversight-001897 and 36 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, Which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts. This grant program is authorized at an annual average of $900 million through 2020. OM B-American Oversight?001898 and OMB-17-O119-B-001742 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY The Department of the Treasury is charged with maintaining a strong economy, promoting conditions that enable economic growth and stability, protecting the integrity of the ?nancial system, and managing the US. Government?s ?nances and resources effectively. The Budget will bring renewed discipline to the Department by focusing resources on collecting revenue, managing the Nation?s debt, protecting the ?nancial system from threats, and combating ?nancial crime and terrorism ?nancing. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $12.1 billion in discretionary resources for the Department of the Treasury?s domestic programs, a $519 million or 4.1 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. The President?s 2018 Budget: Preserves key operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that the IRS could continue to combat identity theft, prevent fraud, and reduce the de?cit through the effective enforcement and administration of taX laws. Diverting resources from antiquated operations that are still reliant on paper-based review in the era of electronic taX ?ling would achieve sig? ni?cant savings, a funding reduction of $239 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity by investing in a Department-wide plan to strategically enhance existing security systems and preempt fragmentation of information technology management across the bureaus, positioning Treasury to anticipate and nimbly respond in the event of a cyberattack. Prioritizes funding for Treasury?s array of economic enforcement tools. Key Treasury programs that freeze the accounts of terrorists and proliferators, implement sanctions on rogue nations, and link law enforcement agencies with ?nancial institutions are critical to the continued safety and ?nancial stability of the Nation. Eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund grants, a savings of $210 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The CDFI Fund was created more than 20 years ago to jump?start a now mature industry where private institutions have ready access to the capital needed to extend credit and provide ?nancial services to underserved communities. 37 OM B-American Oversight-001899 and OMB-17-O119-B-001743 38 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Empowers the Treasury Secretary, as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, to end taxpayer bailouts and foster economic growth by advancing ?nancial regulatory reforms that promote market discipline and ensure the accountability of ?nancial regulators. Shrinks the Federal workforce and increases its ef?ciency by redirecting resources away from duplicative policy of?ces to staff that manage the Nation?s ?nances. OMB-American Oversight?001900 and OMB-17-O119-B-001744 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care and a wide variety of bene?ts to military veterans and their survivors. The 2018 Budget ful?lls the President?s commitment to the Nation?s veterans by requesting the resources necessary to provide the support our veterans have earned through sacri?ce and service to our Nation. The Budget signi?cantly increases funding for VA Medical Care so that VA can continue to meet the ever?growing demand for health care services while building an integrated system of care that strengthens services within VA and makes effective use of community services. The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible Veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase from the 2017 enacted level. The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro? vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad range of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action, this criti- cal program will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at-risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. . Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OMB-American Oversight-001901 and OMB-17-O119-B-001745 40 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans? disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im? prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid the costs of maintaining outdated, inef?cient systems. OM B-American Oversight?001902 and OMB-17-O119-B-001746 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA reflects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation?s environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers without justi?able environmental bene?ts. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21SE Century. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, 3 savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health. The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, 21 $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, while providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce of Enforcement 41 OM B-American Oversight?001903 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001747 42 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, which is $129 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 0RD would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities; such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the Mexico Border. OM B-American Oversight?001904 and OMB-17-0119-B-001748 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth-centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for NASA, a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation of future U.S. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates new opportunities for collaboration with industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep?space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi-billion-dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi-billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities ofthe science and applications communities, a savings 0f$102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, DSCOVR 43 OM B-American Oversight-001905 and OMB-17-O119-B-001749 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth-Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science Mission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency. Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration mission to reduce its cost and better position it to support a nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in a savings of $88 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safeguarding critical systems and data. OM B-American Oversight?001906 and OMB-17-O119-B-00175O SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive US. competitiveness, and help grow the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants while achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports over $1 billion in disaster relieflending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi- ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro? mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. Maintains $28 million in microloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength- en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups. Allows SBA to advocate and assist small businesses in accessing Federal contracts and small business research opportunities Government?wide.

This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the 6.8, Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernizatien, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military farce. The reqUest also includes $5.1 billion in the OverSeas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan; This request would enable DOD to pursue a cemprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion fer DHS implementation of my-executive orders on border security and immigratiOn enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, an? construct a physical Wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical bor?er infrastructure and technology. The request also proyeses funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from_the:United States- Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DHS so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?001944 and OMB-17-O119-B-001788 2 In conjunction'with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non?defense discretionary r?ductions;of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts preposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proyoeed for DOD. The details of this proposal are set forthjin the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Sincerely, The Honorable Paul D.

All years referenced for economic data are calendar years unless otherwise noted. All years referenced for budget data are ?scal years unless otherwise noted. 2. At the time of this writing, only one of the annual appropria- tions bills for 2017 had been enacted (the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act), as well as the Further Continuing and Security Assistance Appropriations Act, which provided 2017 discretionary funding for certain Department of Defense accounts; therefore, the programs provided for in the remaining 2017 annual appropriations bills were operating un? der a continuing resolution (Public Law 114-223, division C, as amended). For these programs, references to 2017 spending in the text and tables reflect the levels provided by the continuing resolution. 3. Details in the tables may not add to the totals due to rounding. 4. Web address: http:/ OM B-American Oversight?001973 and AMERICA FIRST Beginning a New Chapter of AInerican Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget of the United States. Accordingly, I submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizens?a Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter of American greatness. A budget that puts America ?rst must make the safety of our people its number one prioritym because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint. To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides for one of the largest increases in defense spending without increasing the debt; signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi- gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Border Patrol; increases funding to address violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and puts America ?rst by keeping more of America?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding of our Nation?s military without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when called upon to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the world?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting Violent offenders behind bars. OM B-American Oversight?001974 and OMB-17-O119-B-001818 The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well-being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look forward to engaging the Congress and enacting this America First Budget. Donald J. Trump OM B-American Oversight?001975 and OMB-17-O119-B-001819 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is why you will ?nd here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes, and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty, this Budget makes security priority one. It does so while meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget while paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion. national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. American families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time Washington does the same. Mick Mulvaney OM B-American Oversight?001976 and OMB-17-O119-B-001820 OMB-American Oversight?001977 and OMB-17-O119-B-001821 MAJOR AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full ?scal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one ofhis top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with commonsense regulatory, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter?American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment Corporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. OM B-American Oversight?001978 and OMB-17-O119-B-001822 OMB-American Oversight?001979 and OMB-17-O119-B-001823 MANAGEMENT Making Government Work Again The Federal Government can?and should? operate more effectively, ef?ciently, and securely. For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking bold action now to make GOVernment Work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a lon g?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on March 13, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will be required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen. Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s Management Agenda will set goals in areas that are critical to im- proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersccurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly performing organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high-quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. We will use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government-wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions. OM B-American Oversight?001980 and OMB-17-O119-B-001824 As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while holding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB will review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low?value requirements. . Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high-performing program results and services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. deSpite years of efforts to improve these critical management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. MANAGEMENT deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu? tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills, and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will also regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is OMB-American Oversight?001981 and OMB-17-O119-B-001825 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and ef?cient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost?effective manner, and often have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for yearsw?even if they made sense at the time-?have gone unexamined and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s Chief of Staff issued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. . Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. It also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of all new regulations be no greater than For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi?cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. . Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the re as on the President signed Executive Order 1377 7 ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities. These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?001982 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001826 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef- forts to repeal, replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a widely rec? ognized and bi?partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? ?When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women of America. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs within OMB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and successfully implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?001983 and OMB-17-O119-B-001827 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long?term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities while streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $17 .9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in-plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (W10). W10 provides grants to States for sup- plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low?income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. 0 Continues to support farmer-focused research and extension partnerships at land-grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in?house research funding Within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight-001984 and OMB-17-O119-B-001828 12 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc- es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re? ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OM B-American Oversight?001985 and OMB-17-O119-B-001829 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $7 .8 billion for the Department of Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func- tions, including the anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $1.5 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. 0 Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration Within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US. Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, which provides small grants with lim? ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US. Department of Agriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OM B-American Oversight?001986 and OMB-17-O119-B-00183O 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, local, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship includ? ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. aves $124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended when the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu? cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. Maintains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint Polar Satellite System and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters with critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ecting the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro- vides additional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. Maintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion while continuing to promote ef?cient and effective operations. Continues to support the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (N TIA) in representing the United States interest at multi?stakeholder forums on internet governance and digital commerce. The Budget supports the commercial sector?s development of next genera tion wireless services by funding mission of evaluating and ensuring the ef?cient use of spectrum by Government users. OM B?American Oversight?001987 and DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, while providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of national defense cuts since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 2021, relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a ful?llment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of $587 billion. This increase alone exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat, the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 15 OM B?American Oversight-001988 and 16 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital? ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip- ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace. As the world has become more dangerous"? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technology, and the expansion of terrorism?our military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor- ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget re?ects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the ?eet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges of the 21St Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is now the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated state actors and transnational terrorist groups. OM B-American Oversight?001989 and OMB-17-O119-B-001833 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students with disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission while lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department of Education, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student- based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides States, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special education and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with. scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of$1.2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. 17 OM B-American Oversight-001990 and 18 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well- targeted way to deliver need-based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority-Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for communities that are often un derserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported with State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, Impact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OMB-American Oversight?001991 and OMB-17-O119-B-001835 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY The Department of Energy (DOE) is charged with ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic ob?growth in the near to mid?term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Administration?s strong support for the United States? nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOE, a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Government?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. - Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program, and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program because 19 OM B-American Oversight-001992 and OMB-17-O119-B-001836 20 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Of?ce of Energy Ef?ciency and Renewable Energy, the Of?ce of Nuclear Energy, the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the Fossil Energy Research and Development program on limited, early?stage applied energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is stronger. In addition, the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State?level energy policy and implementation. Collectively, these changes achieve a savings of approximately $2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level? Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cybersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help harden and evolve critical grid infrastructure that the American people and the economy rely upon. Continues the necessary research, development, and construction to support the Navy?s current nuclear ?eet and enhance the capabilities of the future ?eet. OM B-American Oversight?001993 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001837 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well?being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. In addition, it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well?being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long-term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 21st Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-income and vulnerable populations. 0 Strengthens the integrity and sustainability of Medicare and Medicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay-and?chase? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the HCFAC account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014-2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. 0 Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. 21 OM B-American Oversight-001994 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015, has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pre-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructures similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s mental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States Where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs Within the Of?ce of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), a savings of $4.2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower-impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited-impact program. OM B-American Oversight?001995 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001839 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a vital mission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in- frastructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the ?ow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally. 0 Enhances enforcement of immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OM B?American Oversight-001996 OMB-17-O112-B and 24 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E?Verify Program, an internet?based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to reCOVer 7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pre?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal Government is not supplanting other stakeholders? responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent non?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost-sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized and underperforming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo? cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op? erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OM B-American Oversight?001997 and OMB-17-O119-B-001841 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) promotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities. This Budget re?ects the President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility While supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low-income and vulnerable households and help work-eligible families achieve self-sufficiency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re- duce costs While continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well-targeted to the poorest populations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes ?scal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead?based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OM B-American Oversight?001998 and 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, a savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level.

It eliminates funding for unnecessary or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DOI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry With access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. - Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue, which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. 0 Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DOI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. 27 OM B-American Oversight-002000 and OMB-17-O119-B-001844 28 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self-determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration projects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground system, as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and natural hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10-year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States. Supports counties through discretionary funding for the Payments in Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program at a reduced level, but in line with average funding for PILT over the past decade. OM B-American Oversight?002001 and OMB-17-O119-B-001845 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE The Department of Justice is charged with enforcing the laws and defending the interests of the United States, ensuring public safety against foreign and domestic threats, providing Federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime, seeking just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior, and ensuring the fair and impartial administration of ustice for all Americans. The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient. The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the ation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However, signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and Will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $61 million. more to ?ght terrorism and combat foreign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearms purchase background checks, and develop and refine evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun-related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight-002002 and 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys with law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats. Combats illegal entry and unlawful presence in the United States by providing an increase of nearly $80 million, or 19 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level to hire 75 additional immigration judge teams to bolster and more ef?ciently adjudicate removal proceedings-- bringing the total number of funded immigration judge teams to 449. Enhances border security and immigration enforcement by providing 60 additional border enforcement prosecutors and 40 deputy US. Marshals for the apprehension, transportation, and prosecution of criminal. aliens. Supports the addition of 20 attorneys to pursue Federal efforts to obtain the land and holdings necessary to secure the Southwest border and another 20 attorneys and support staff for immigration litigation assistance. Assures the safety of the public and law enforcement of?cers by providing $171 million above the 2017 annualized CR level for additional short-term detention space to hold Federal detainees, including criminal aliens, parole violators, and other offenders awaiting trial or sentencing. Safeguards Federal grants to State, local, and tribal law enforcement and victims of crime to ensure greater safety for law enforcement personnel and the people they serve. Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the Bulletproof Vest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two-thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2013. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 2017 annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy??ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight. By increasing quarterly ?ling fees, the total estimated United States Trustee Program offsetting receipts would reach $289 million in 2018. OM B-American Oversight?002003 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001847 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR The Department of Labor fosters the welfare of wage earners, job seekers, and retirees by safeguarding their working conditions, bene?ts, and wages. With the need to rebuild the Nation?s military without increasing the de?cit. this Budget focuses the Department of Labor on its highest priority functions and disinvests in activities that are duplicative, unnecessary, unproven, or ineffective. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $9.6 billion for the Department of Labor, a $2.5 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Expands Reemployment and Eligibility Assessments, an evidence-based activity that saves an average of $538 per claimant in unemployment insurance bene?t costs by reducing improper payments and getting claimants back to work more quickly and at higher wages. Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), for a savings of $434 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low-income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one-third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shifting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers. Helps States expand apprenticeship, an evidence-based approach to preparing workers for jobs. 31 OM B?American Oversight-002004 and 32 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Refocuses the Of?ce of Disability Employment Policy, eliminating less critical technical assistance grants and launching an early intervention demonstration project to allow States to test and evaluate methods that help individuals with disabilities remain attached to or reconnect to the labor market. Eliminates the Occupational Safety and Health Administration?s unproven training grants, yielding savings of almost $11 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and focusing the agency on its central work of keeping workers safe on the job. OM B-American Oversight?002005 and OMB-17-O119-B-001849 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS The Department of State, the US. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Department of the Treasury?s International Programs help to advance the national security interests of the United States by building a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world. The Budget for the Department of State and USAID diplomatic and development activities is being refocused on priority strategic objectives and renewed attention is being placed on the appropriate US. share of international spending. In addition, the Budget seeks to reduce or end direct funding for international organizations whose missions do not substantially advance US. foreign policy interests, are duplicative, or are not well-managed. Additional steps will be taken to make the Department and USAID leaner, more ef?cient, and more effective. These steps to reduce foreign assistance free up funding for critical priorities here at home and put America ?rst. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $25.6 billion in base funding for the Department of State and USAID, a $10.1 billion or 28 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also requests $12.0 billion as Overseas Contingency Operations funding for extraordinary costs, primarily in war areas like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, for an agency total. of $37 .6 billion. The 2018 Budget also requests $1.5 billion. for Treasury International Programs, an $803 million or 35 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Maintains robust funding levels for embassy security and other core diplomatic activities while implementing ef?ciencies. Consistent with the Benghazi Accountability Review Board recom- mendation, the Budget applies $2.2 billion toward new embassy construction and maintenance in 2018. Maintaining adequate embassy security levels requires the ef?cient and effective use of available resources to keep embassy employees safe. Provides $3.1 billion. to meet the security assistance commitment to Israel, currently at an all- time high; ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats and maintain its Qualitative Military Edge. Eliminates the Global Climate Change Initiative and ful?lls the President?s pledge to cease payments to the United Nations? (UN) climate change programs by eliminating US. funding related to the Green Climate Fund and its two precursor Climate Investment Funds. 0 Provides suf?cient resources on a path to ful?ll the $1 billion US. pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This commitment helps support Gavi to vaccinate hundreds of millions of children in low?resource countries and save millions of lives. OM B?American Oversight-002006 and 34 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS Provides suf?cient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on treatment under the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and maintains funding for malaria programs. The Budget also meets U.S. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. 0 Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American-made weaponry with US. assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib? ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. 0 Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu? gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas while asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internationn a1 and non?governmental relief organizations to become more ef?cient and effective. 0 Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (ECE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around the globe. 0 Improves ef?ciency by eliminating overlapping peacekeeping and security capacity building ef- forts and duplicative contingency programs, such as the Complex Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct appropriations to small organizations that receive funding from other sources and can continue to operate without direct Federal funds, such as the East?West Center. 0 Recognizes the need for State and USAID to pursue greater ef?ciencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. 0 Reduces funding for multilateral development banks, including the World Bank, by approximate- ly $650 million over three years compared to commitments made by the previous administration. Even with the proposed decreases, the US. would retain its current status as a top donor while saving taxpayer dollars. OM B-American Oversight?002007 and OMB-17-O119-B-001851 3- &6 OF (g 0 TM Nous DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION The Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for ensuring a fast, safe, ef?cient, accessible, and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people today, and into the future. The Budget request re?ects a streamlined DOT that is focused on performing vital Federal safety oversight functions and investing in nationally and regionally signi?cant transportation infrastructure projects. The Budget reduces or eliminates programs that are either inef?cient, duplicative of other Federal efforts, or that involve activities that are better delivered by States, localities, or the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $16.2 billion for discretionary budget, a $2.4 billion or 13 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: - Initiates a multi?year reauthorization proposal to shift the air traf?c control function of the Federal Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization, making the system more ef?cient and innovative while maintaining safety. This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its State-supported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program (New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. Eliminates funding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 0., DI OM B-American Oversight-002008 and 36 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates funding for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, Which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation formula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and Highway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of2015, supports larger highway and multimodal freight projects with demonstrable national or regional bene?ts. This grant program is authorized at an annual average of $900 million through 2020. OM B-American Oversight?002009 and OMB-17-O119-B-001853 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY The Department of the Treasury is charged with maintaining a strong economy, promoting conditions that enable economic growth and stability, protecting the integrity of the ?nancial system, and managing the US. Government?s ?nances and resources effectively. The Budget will bring renewed discipline to the Department by focusing resources on collecting revenue, managing the Nation?s debt, protecting the ?nancial system from threats, and combating ?nancial crime and terrorism ?nancing. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $12.1 billion in discretionary resources for the Department of the Treasury?s domestic programs, a $519 million or 4.1 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. The President?s 2018 Budget: Preserves key operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that the IRS could continue to combat identity theft, prevent fraud, and reduce the de?cit through the effective enforcement and administration of taX laws. Diverting resources from antiquated operations that are still reliant on paper-based review in the era of electronic taX ?ling would achieve sig? ni?cant savings, a funding reduction of $239 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity by investing in a Department-wide plan to strategically enhance existing security systems and preempt fragmentation of information technology management across the bureaus, positioning Treasury to anticipate and nimbly respond in the event of a cyberattack. Prioritizes funding for Treasury?s array of economic enforcement tools. Key Treasury programs that freeze the accounts of terrorists and proliferators, implement sanctions on rogue nations, and link law enforcement agencies with ?nancial institutions are critical to the continued safety and ?nancial stability of the Nation. Eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund grants, a savings of $210 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The CDFI Fund was created more than 20 years ago to jump?start a now mature industry where private institutions have ready access to the capital needed to extend credit and provide ?nancial services to underserved communities. 37 OMB-American Oversight-002010 and OMB-17-O119-B-001854 38 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Empowers the Treasury Secretary, as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, to end taxpayer bailouts and foster economic growth by advancing ?nancial regulatory reforms that promote market discipline and ensure the accountability of ?nancial regulators. Shrinks the Federal workforce and increases its ef?ciency by redirecting resources away from duplicative policy of?ces to staff that manage the Nation?s ?nances. OMB-American Oversight?002011 and OMB-17-O119-B-001855 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care and a wide variety of bene?ts to military veterans and their survivors. The 2018 Budget ful?lls the President?s commitment to the Nation?s veterans by requesting the resources necessary to provide the support our veterans have earned through sacri?ce and service to our Nation. The Budget signi?cantly increases funding for VA Medical Care so that VA can continue to meet the ever?growing demand for health care services while building an integrated system of care that strengthens services within VA and makes effective use of community services. The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible Veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase from the 2017 enacted level. The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro? vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad range of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action, this criti- cal program will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at-risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. . Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OMB-American Oversight-002012 and OMB-17-O119-B-001856 40 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans? disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im? prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid the costs of maintaining outdated, inef?cient systems. OMB-American Oversight?002013 and OMB-17-O119-B-001857 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA reflects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation?s environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers without justi?able environmental bene?ts. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21SE Century. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, 3 savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health. The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, 21 $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, while providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce of Enforcement 41 OMB-American Oversight?002014 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001858 42 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, which is $129 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 0RD would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities; such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the Mexico Border. OMB-American Oversight?002015 and OMB-17-0119-B-001859 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth-centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for NASA, a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation of future U.S. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates new opportunities for collaboration with industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep?space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi-billion-dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi-billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities ofthe science and applications communities, a savings 0f$102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, DSCOVR 43 OMB-American Oversight-002016 and OMB-17-O119-B-00186O 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth-Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science Mission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency. Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration mission to reduce its cost and better position it to support a nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in a savings of $88 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safeguarding critical systems and data. OMB-American Oversight?002017 and OMB-17-O119-B-001861 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive US. competitiveness, and help grow the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants while achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports over $1 billion in disaster relieflending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi- ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro? mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance.

Web address: http:/ go OMB-American Oversight-002036 and OMB-17-O119-B-001880 AMERICA FIRST Beginning :1 New Chapter of American. Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The. American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is tl?irough the Budget of the United States. Accordingly, s1.ihn1?i.t to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal. slgiending so that it advances the safety and security of the Ai'nericai'i j jieople. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizensm-a Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter of American greatness. A budget that puts America first must make the safety oi?our people its number one priority? loecause without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is Why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that empl'iasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint. To keep Ainjiericans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget B'Ijlgleprint for 20118: 0 provides for one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration Judges, expanded detention capac1ty, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Customs Erlforfcement, and Border islatrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and red'lglces opioid. abuse; and 0 puts America first by keeping more of America?s hard-earned tax dollars here at home. The core ofmy ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding of our ation?s military without adding to our Federal deficit. There is 213354.- billion iililcrease in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is Vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces [or the future. we must ensure that our courageous servicemen and. women. lilave the tools they need to deter war, and when called upon to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the world a message ofAmerlcan strength, security, and resolve. 'l?his Budget Blueprint ihllows through on. my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting Violent offenders behind bars. OMB-American Oversight-002037 and OMB-17-O119-B-001881 The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?cienci es across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to mun-Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. illhis includes deep cuts to foreign aid. lit is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americansthe world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and deltiartments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department. will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look forward to engaging the Congress and enacting this America First Budget. Donald J. Trump OMB-American Oversight-002038 and OMB-17-O119-B-001882 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. Wl?iile recognizing this Blueprint is not the full, Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public With a View of the priorlties of the President and his Adimnistration. The Fed eral budget is a complex document. However, working for a President to keeping his pronnses means my job 1s as simple as translating his words mto numbers. That is Why you will ?nd here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes, and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed. Forces to beefing up our border security and, safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty, this Budget makes security priority one. lt does so While meeting another of the li?resident?s core commitments: ad dressing our Nation?s priorities without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. it has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget. while paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s first term have more tax dollars been saved. and more Government. inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program test-ed, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. American families :make tough, decisions every day about their own budgets; i is time Washington does the same. Mick Mulvaney OMB-American Oversight-002039 and OMB-17-O119-B-001883 OMB-American Oversight-002040 and OMB-17-O119-B-001884 MAJOR AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary thnding proposals. The full Budget that will. be released. later this spring will. Linclude our speci?c mandatory and. tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized. that one of his top priorities is modemizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with commonsense regulator administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will pmvide more budgetary tax, and legislative details in the coming months. in the that follow; Budget higliilights are presented. for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach. to move the Nation towanl fiscal. responsihili'ty, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of jljirograi?ns and focuses hinding to rede?ne the proper role of the li?ederal Govermnen?t. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, includii'ig: the African evelopi'nent Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the lnstitute of Museum and Library Services; the lnter~American Foundation; the U. S. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Hinnani ties; the Neighborhood Reinvestniem; Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private lnvesttnient lorpora'tion; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States lnteragencyr Council on Homelessness; and. the Woodrow Wilson lnternational Center for Scholars.

Government can?and should? operate more effectively, ef?ciently, and. securely. For decades, leaders on. both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The lf?resident is taking hold action now to make Government work again ibr the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long-term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on March 13, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion. the important work of reorganizing executive departments and. agencies. These two actions are com pleimentary and 1;)lans should reflect both Presidential actions. Legislation will be required before major reorganization of the Executive Braiilclil can take place, but the White House is best sil?zuated to review and reconjiirnend changes to the Congress. in rouglilly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen. Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the IF?resit'lent?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in. the effectiveness of its core management- ful?ictions. The President?s Management Agenda will set goals in areas that are critical. to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, efficiency, cybersec?urity, and accountability. ?l?he Administration will. take action to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the Ihllowing: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration will take an evidence- based approach to improving programs and services using real, hard data to identify poorly performing organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high-quality and timely services to the American people and. businesses. We will use all tools available and. create new ones as needed to ensure the work?irce is prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?Wide jpolicies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions.

OMB-American Oversight-002044 and OMB-17-O119-B-001888 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a, regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system. that is botl?i effective and efficient. Each year, however; Federal agencies issue thousands ofne?w regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost-effective manner, and often have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years-m-meven if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamined and they no longer be effective or necessary. The l??resident is committed to fixing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and. wasteful, regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s Chief ofStaff issued a inenmrandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administratirm political appointee; and to delay the e??ective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the signed Executive Order 13771., ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This "Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. lt requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. lt also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of all new regulations be no greater than For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The significant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal. agencies to carry out the bold. regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the lf?resident?s regulatory reform priorities. ?QIL?hese new teams will, OMB-American Oversight-002045 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001889 work hard to identifyr regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef- forts to repeal, replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a widely rec? ognized and biapartisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen? cies will identify and cut. regulations in a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told. Americans, era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it. is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and tbrgotten men and women of America. The Of?ce of Intorl?nation and Regulatory Allairs within OMB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and. it looks ?lbrward to making sure that they are fully and successfully imjfilemented over the coming months and. years. OMB-American Oversight-002046 and OMB-17-0119-B-001890 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities while streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). WIC provides grants to States for sup- plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. 0 Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land-grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in?house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OMB-American Oversight-002047 and 12 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE priority agriculture and food. issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc- es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana? lytical ?mcticms, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructin?e, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county office operations, re~ ?eet reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning.

OMB-American Oversight-002048 and OMB-17-O119-B-001892 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $7.8 billion for the Department of Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func- tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, while rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $1.5 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun- damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. 0 Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US. Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, which provides small grants with lim? ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the U. S. Department of Agriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OMB-American Oversight-002049 and 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, local, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entreprineurship includ? ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves SB 1 24 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the annfacturi ng Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centeis, which provide consulting services to small? and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters Would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended when the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal. and marine managemen.t, research, and edu~ cation including Sea Grant, which pril?narily bene?t industry and State and, local stakeholders. 'Qllhese programs are a lower priority than core functions maintaii?ied in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and fisheries management. Maintains the development of NOAA7s current generation of polar orbiting and. geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint l3"olar Satellite System and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters with critical weather data to help protect life and property. Achieves annual savings from Polar Follow On satellite program from the current program of record by better re?ectng the actual risk of a gap in polar satellite coverage, and pro? vides additional opportunities to improve robustness of the low earth orbit satellite architecture by expanding the utilization of commercially provided data to improve weather models. Maintains National Weather Service forecasting capabilities by investing more than $1 billion While continuing to promote ef?cient and effective operations.

OMB-American Oversight-002050 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001894 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, while providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the U. S. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of national defense cuts since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 2021, relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a ful?llment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the U. S. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of $587 billion. This increase alone exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one?year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat, the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 15 OMB-American Oversight-002051 and 16 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE l?hfovides the resources needed. to accelerate the defeat of The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. urgent wai?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapitalr ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. ?l?l?ie President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need. for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cybersjfiace. As the world has become more dangermis? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread ofdestructive technology, and the expansion of terrorism our military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor~ ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductiolris, and preparing for ?iture challenges. This Budget is an. initial. step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by i ncreasing the total number of ships. ?l.?his Budget reflects a own. payment on the commitment to expanding the ?eet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation. for a force that meets the challenges of the 218t Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F435 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is now the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated state actors and transnational terrorist OMB-American Oversight-002052 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001896 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students with disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission while lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department of Education, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title 1, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides States, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special education and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after-school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The programs lacks strong evidence of meeting its objectives, such as improving student achievement. 17 OMB-American Oversight-002053 and DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Eliminates the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program, a less well- targeted way to deliver need~based aid than the Pell Grant program, to reduce complexity in ?nancial student aid and save $732 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation While proposing a cancellation of $8.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and lVliinority?Serving Institutions, which, provide opportunities for communities that are often. underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of miinori ty students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly?targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students Who would bene?t most. l7?rovides $808 million for the Federal lh?ograms and $219 million for GEAR P, resulting in savings of $193 :niillioi'i from the 2017 annualized CR level. F'lintling to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall e?ectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget il?linds GEAR con.tii'iuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation, of a portion of the program. Eliminates or reduces over 20 categorical programs that. do not address national needs, duplicate other programs, or are more appropriately supported with State, local, or private funds, including Striving Readers, Teacher Quality Partnership, lmpact Aid Support Payments for Federal Property, and International Education programs. OMB-American Oversight-002054 and OMB-17-0119-B-001898 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY The Department of Energy (DOE) is charged With ensuring the Nation?s security and prosperity by addressing its energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through transformative science and technology solutions. The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later-stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early?stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job-growth in the near to mid?term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Administration?s strong support for the United States? nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOE, a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would strengthen the Nation?s nuclear capability by providing a $1.4 billion increase above the 2017 annualized CR level for the National Nuclear Security Administration, an 11 percent increase. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Provides $120 million to restart licensing activities for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository and initiate a robust interim storage program. These investments would accelerate progress on ful?lling the Federal Government?s obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security, and reduce future taxpayer burden. 0 Supports the goals of moving toward a responsive nuclear infrastructure and advancing the existing program of record for warhead life extension programs through elimination of defense sequestration for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). 0 Enables NNSA to begin to address its critical infrastructure maintenance backlog. 0 Protects human health and the environment by providing $6.5 billion to advance the Environmental Management program mission of cleaning up the legacy of waste and contamination from energy research and nuclear weapons production, including addressing excess facilities to support modernization of the nuclear security enterprise. 0 Eliminates the Advanced Research Projects Agency?Energy, the Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program and the Advanced Technol ogy Vehicle Manufacturing Program be cause 19 OMB-American Oversight-002055 and 2% DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY the private sector is better positioned to ?nance disruptive energy research and development and to commercialize innovative technologies. Ensures the Of?ce of Science continues to invest in the highest priority basic science and energy research and development as well as operation and maintenance of existing scienti?c facilities for the community. This includes a savings of approximately $900 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Focuses funding for the Office of lilnergy lilf?ciency and Renewable Energy, the Office of Nuclear liner?, the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and. Energy Reliability, and. the Fossil, Energyr Research and li)e?velepment on limited, applied. energy research and development activities Where the Federal role is stronger. In addition, the Budget eliminates the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program to reduce Federal intervention in State?level energy policy and implementation. (ilollectively, these changes achieve a savings billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Supports the Of?ce of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability?s capacity to carry out cy'l?iersecurity and grid resiliency activities that would help hard en and evolve critical. grid that the American people and the economy rely upon. Continues the necessary research, development, and. construction to support the avy?s current nuclear fleet and enhance the capabilities of the future fleet. OMB-American Oversight-002056 and OMB-17-0119-B-001900 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) works to enhance the health and well-being of Americans by providing effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services. The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. In addition, it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long-term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 21st Century CURES Act. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports direct health care services, such as those delivered by community health centers, Ryan White providers, and the Indian Health Service. These safety net providers deliver critical health care services to low-income and vulnerable populations. 0 Strengthens the integrity and sustainability of Medicare and Medicaid by investing in activities to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and promote high quality and ef?cient health care. Additional funding for the Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) program has allowed the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services in recent years to shift away from a ?pay-and-chase? model toward identifying and preventing fraudulent or improper payments from being paid in the ?rst place. The return on investment for the HCFAC account was $5 returned for every $1 expended from 2014?2016. The Budget proposes HCFAC discretionary funding of $751 million in 2018, which is $70 million higher than the 2017 annualized CR level. 0 Supports ef?cient operations for Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children?s Health Insurance Program and focuses spending on the highest priority activities necessary to effectively operate these programs. 21 OMB-American Oversight-002057 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001901 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015, has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration medical product user fees to over $2 billion in. 2018, approximately billion. over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pre?Inarket review costs. To conugilenient the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory efficiency and speed the development of safe and eitlective medical products. In a constrained budget enviironment, industries that benefit from FDA's amoroval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending rilative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the. Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and s'tr'uc'tural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and. rebalance Federal contributions to research. funding. key public health, emergencyr preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructures similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States With the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s :rnental heal th. Eliminates $4.03 million in health 1;)rofessions and nursing training programs, which. lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States Where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs Within the Of?ce of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program and the Con?imui?iity Services Block Grant (CSBG), a savings of $11.2 billion from, the 20.1.7 annualized CR level. Compared to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower-impact program and. is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are uplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and en'iployment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OMB-American Oversight-002058 and OMB-17-O119-B-001902 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital mission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the U. S. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in- frastructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the ?ow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally. 0 Enhances enforcement of immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OMB-American Oversight-002059 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001903 24 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold. prioritized. aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E?Verity Program, an internet-based system that allows l1>11si11esses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace With $1.5 billion for DI-IS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cyl'iersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transj ?jortation Security Administration (illSA) and the National Flood. Insurance lF?rograni (N Flt") to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the ilE?assenger Security Fee to recover 75 percent of the cost ojf'l78A. aviation security op erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary aifipropriati on for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pie?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal Government is not supplanting other stakeholders? responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget. also proposes establishing a 25 percent non?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the saline cost?sharing as disaster recovery grants. The activities and. acquisitions funded. through these grant programs are primarily State and local. functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized and underper'torming administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a. savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visihle linerifnodal Prevention and Response program, Which achieves few Federal. law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA. grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to :incentivize lo- cal laW enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detect-ion Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the system. OMB-American Oversight-002060 and OMB-17-O119-B-001904 a) :5 '7 0,984?! 9?0? 4% NT DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) promotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities. This Budget re?ects the President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility while supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low-income and vulnerable households and help work-eligible families achieve self-suf?ciency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re- duce costs while continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well-targeted to the poorest populations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes ?scal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead-safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. 25 OMB-American Oversight-002061 and 255 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING- AN URBAN DEVELOPMENT funding for Section 4.- Cagmcity Building for Coinim'lmity Development; and. Affortlable l-lousing, a savings of$35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program is duplicative of efforts funded by philanthropy and other more ?exible private sector investments. Support-s homeownership through provision of Federal l?lrmsing Administration mortgage insur? ance programs. OMB-American Oversight-002062 and OMB-17-O119-B-001906 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (DOI) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs While supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessary or duplicative programs while reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DOI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined With administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue, which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DOI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. 27 OMB-American Oversight-002063 and DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and sel.f-determination across lndian Country by ibcusing on. core funding and services to support ongoing tribal govermnent operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration projects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower pri<1>rity activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in. deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction. and major maintenance programs, Wl?i?ich can rel 3; on existing resources for 2018. l??rovides more than $900 million for DOl?s U. S. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground system, as well as research and data collection that ii'i't'orms sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and natural hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxljiayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States. Supports counties through discretionary funding for the l??ayments in Lieu. of Taxes (131L717) program at a reduced. level, but in line with average funding for over the past decade. OMB-American Oversight-002064 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001908 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE The Department of Justice is charged with enforcing the laws and defending the interests of the United States, ensuring public safety against foreign and domestic threats, providing Federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime, seeking just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior, and ensuring the fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans. The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient. The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the Nation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However, signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world-class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $61 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat foreign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearms purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address Violent crime, gun-related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OMB-American Oversight-002065 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001909 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national. security and. counterterrorisin efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats. Combats illegal entry and unlawful presence in the United States by providing an increase of nearly $80 million, or 19 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level to hire 75 additional immigration judge teams to bolster and more ef?ciently adjudicate removal proceedings bringing the total number of funded immigration judge teams to 449. Enhances border security and immigration enforcement by providing 60 additional border enforcel'nent prosecutors and 40 deputy U. S.

Supports the addition of 20 attorneys to pursue li?ederal. efforts to obtain the land and holdings necessary to secure the Southwest border and another 20 attorneys and support staff for immigration litigation assistance. Assures the safety of the public and law enithrcement officers by providing 817']. million above the 2017 annualized CR level. for additional short?term detention space to hold Federal detainees, including criminal aliens, parole violators, and other offenders awaiting trial or sentencing. Safeguards Federal grants to State, local, and tribal law enforcement and Victims of crime to ensure greater safety for law enforcement personnel and the people they serve. Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the Bulletproof Vest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that. either have met their goal. or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted. State Criminal. Alien Assistance Program, in which two-thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost ofincarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a, billion dollars from the 20117 annualized CR level in Federal prison C(mstruction slgiending no to eXcess resulting from an approximate percent decrease in the prison population since 2013. However, the Budget provides 880 :rnillion above the 2017 CR level. for the activation of an. existing facility to reduce high security Fed eral. inmate overcrowding and a total of$113 :rnillio to repair and :rnodernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy??ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight. By increasing quarterly ?ling fees, the total estimated United States Trustee Program offsetting receipts would reach $289 million in 2018. OMB-American Oversight-002066 and OMB-17-O119-B-001910 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR The Department of Labor fosters the welfare of wage earners, job seekers, and retirees by safeguarding their working conditions, bene?ts, and wages. With the need to rebuild the Nation?s military without increasing the de?cit, this Budget focuses the Department of Labor on its highest priority functions and disinvests in activities that are duplicative, unnecessary, unproven, or ineffective. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $9.6 billion for the Department of Labor, a $2.5 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Expands Reemployment and Eligibility Assessments, an evidence-based activity that saves an average of $536 per claimant in unemployment insurance bene?t costs by reducing improper payments and getting claimants back to work more quickly and at higher wages. Reduces funding for ineffective, duplicative, and peripheral job training grants. As part of this, eliminates the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SC SEP), for a savings of $484 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. SCSEP is ineffective in meeting its purpose of transitioning low?income unemployed seniors into unsubsidized jobs. As many as one-third of participants fail to complete the program and of those who do, only half successfully transition to unsubsidized employment. Focuses the Bureau of International Labor Affairs on ensuring that US. trade agreements are fair for American workers. The Budget eliminates the Bureau?s largely noncompetitive and unproven grant funding, which would save at least $60 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Improves Job Corps for the disadvantaged youth it serves by closing centers that do a poor job educating and preparing students for jobs. Decreases Federal support for job training and employment service formula grants, shifting more responsibility for funding these services to States, localities, and employers. Helps States expand apprenticeship, an evidence-based approach to preparing workers for jobs. 31 OMB-American Oversight-002067 and 32 DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Refocuses the Of?ce of Disability Enniloynient l??olicy, eliirninatingless critical technical assistance grants and launching an early intervention demonstration prtjiject to allow States to test and evaluate methods that help individuals with disabilities remain attached to or reconnect to the labor market. Eliminates the Occupational Safety and Health Administration?s unproven training grants, yielding savings of almost $11 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and ?:>cusing the agency on its central work of keeping workers safe on the job. OMB-American Oversight-002068 and OMB-17-O119-B-001912 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS The Department of State, the US. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Department of the Treasury?s International Programs help to advance the national security interests of the United States by building a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world. The Budget for the Department of State and USAID diplomatic and development activities is being refocused on priority strategic objectives and renewed attention is being placed on the appropriate U. S. share of international spending. In addition, the Budget seeks to reduce or end direct funding for international organizations whose missions do not substantially advance U. S. foreign policy interests, are duplicative, or are not well-managed. Additional steps will be taken to make the Department and USAID leaner, more ef?cient, and more effective. These steps to reduce foreign assistance free up funding for critical priorities here at home and put America ?rst. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $25.6 billion in base funding for the Department of State and USAID, a $10.1 billion or 28 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also requests $12.0 billion as Overseas Contingency Operations funding for extraordinary costs, primarily in war areas like Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, for an agency total of $37.6 billion. The 2018 Budget also requests $1.5 billion for Treasury International Programs, an $803 million or 35 percent reduction from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Maintains robust funding levels for embassy security and other core diplomatic activities while implementing ef?ciencies. Consistent with the Benghazi Accountability Review Board recom? mendation, the Budget applies $2.2 billion toward new embassy construction and maintenance in 2018. Maintaining adequate embassy security levels requires the ef?cient and effective use of available resources to keep embassy employees safe. 0 Provides $3.1 billion to meet the security assistance commitment to Israel, currently at an all? time high; ensuring that Israel has the ability to defend itself from threats and maintain its Qualitative Military Edge. 0 Eliminates the Global Climate Change Initiative and ful?lls the President?s pledge to cease payments to the United Nations? (UN) climate change programs by eliminating U.S. funding related to the Green Climate Fund and its two precursor Climate Investment Funds. 0 Provides suf?cient resources on a path to ful?ll the $1 billion US. pledge to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This commitment helps support Gavi to vaccinate hundreds of millions of children in low-resource countries and save millions of lives. 33 OMB-American Oversight-002069 and 34 DEPARTMENT OF STATE, USAID, AND TREASURY INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS 0 Provides suf?cient resources to maintain current commitments and all current patient levels on treatment under the President?s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and maintains funding for malaria programs. The Budget also meets US. commitments to the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria by providing 33 percent of projected contributions from all donors, consistent with the limit currently in law. Shifts some foreign irnili?tary assistance from. grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the U. S. While potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American-made weaponry with US. assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and affiliated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared mori fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib? ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. 0 Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by ngli'lzsi.zi.1'i.g funding across countries and sectors. Allows for significant funding of hlnnanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu~ gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share. The Budget eliminates the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance account, a duplicative and stovepiped account, and challenges internation? al and non?governmental relief organizations to become more ef?cient and effective. 0 Reduces funding for the Department of State?s Educational and Cultural Exchange (EOE) Programs. ECE resources would focus on sustaining the ?agship Fulbright Program, which forges lasting connections between Americans and emerging leaders around. the globe. 0 Improves efficiency by eliminating overlamiing peacekeeping and security capacity building ef- forts and. contingency programs, such as the Complex Crises Fund. The Budget also eliminates direct to small organizations that receive funding from. other sources and can continue to operate Without direct Federal funds, such as the East-West Center. 0 Recognizes the need for State and to pursue greater efficiencies through reorganization and consolidation in order to enable effective diplomacy and development. 0 Reduces funding for multilateral development hanks, including the World Bank, by approximate? ly $650 million over three years compared. to commitments made by the previous administration- Even with the proposed. decreases, the US. would retain its current status as a, top donor While saving taxpayer dollars. OMB-American Oversight-002070 and OMB-17-O119-B-001914 ((36 OF 317 SUITES ?2 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION The Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for ensuring a fast, safe, ef?cient, accessible, and convenient transportation system that meets our vital national interests and enhances the quality of life of the American people today, and into the future. The Budget request re?ects a streamlined DOT that is focused on performing vital Federal safety oversight functions and investing in nationally and regionally signi?cant transportation infrastructure projects. The Budget reduces or eliminates programs that are either inef?cient, duplicative of other Federal efforts, or that involve activities that are better delivered by States, localities, or the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $16.2 billion for discretionary budget, a $2.4 billion or 13 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Initiates a multi?year reauthorization proposal to shift the air traf?c control function of the Federal Aviation Administration to an independent, non-governmental organization, making the system more ef?cient and innovative while maintaining safety. This would bene?t the ?ying public and taxpayers overall. 0 Restructures and reduces Federal subsidies to Amtrak to focus resources on the parts of the passenger rail system that provide meaningful transportation options within regions. The Budget terminates Federal support for Amtrak?s long distance train services, which have long been inef?cient and incur the vast majority of Amtrak?s operating losses. This would allow Amtrak to focus on better managing its State?supported and Northeast Corridor train services. 0 Limits funding for the Federal Transit Administration?s Capital Investment Program (New Starts) to projects with existing full funding grant agreements only. Future investments in new transit projects would be funded by the localities that use and bene?t from these localized projects. 0 Eliminates funding for the Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which was originally conceived of as a temporary program nearly 40 years ago to provide subsidized commercial air service to rural airports. EAS ?ights are not full and have high subsidy costs per passenger. Several EAS?eligible communities are relatively close to major airports, and communities that have EAS could be served by other existing modes of transportation. This proposal would result in a discretionary savings of $175 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 35 OMB-American Oversight-002071 and 38 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Eliminates handing for the unauthorized TIGER discretionary grant program, which awards grants to projects that are generally eligible for funding under existing surface transportation f<3>rmula programs, saving $499 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Further, Nationally Signi?cant Freight and l?lighway Projects grant program, authorized by the FAST Act of 2015, supports larger highway and multimoclal freight projects With national or regional bene?ts. This grant program is authorized at an annual average of $900 million through 2020. OMB-American Oversight-002072 and OMB-17-O119-B-001916 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY The Department of the Treasury is charged with maintaining a strong economy, promoting conditions that enable economic growth and stability, protecting the integrity of the ?nancial system, and managing the US. Government?s ?nances and resources effectively. The Budget will bring renewed discipline to the Department by focusing resources on collecting revenue, managing the Nation?s debt, protecting the ?nancial system from threats, and combating ?nancial crime and terrorism ?nancing. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $12.1 billion in discretionary resources for the Department of the Treasury?s domestic programs, a $519 million or 4.1 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Treasury Forfeiture Fund. The President?s 2018 Budget: Preserves key operations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to ensure that the IRS could continue to combat identity theft, prevent fraud, and reduce the de?cit through the effective enforcement and administration of tax laws. Diverting resources from antiquated operations that are still reliant on paper-based review in the era of electronic tax ?ling would achieve sig? ni?cant savings, a funding reduction of $239 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity by investing in a Department?wide plan to strategically enhance existing security systems and preempt fragmentation of information technology management across the bureaus, positioning Treasury to anticipate and nimbly respond in the event of a cyberattack. Prioritizes funding for Treasury?s array of economic enforcement tools. Key Treasury programs that freeze the accounts of terrorists and proliferators, implement sanctions on rogue nations, and link law enforcement agencies with ?nancial institutions are critical to the continued safety and ?nancial stability of the Nation. Eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) Fund grants, a savings of $210 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The CDFI Fund was created more than 20 years ago to jump?start a now mature industry where private institutions have ready access to the capital needed to extend credit and provide ?nancial services to underserved communities. 37 OMB-American Oversight-002073 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001917 DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY Empowers the Treasury Secretary, as Chairperson of the Financial Stability Oversight;- Council, to end taxpayer bailouts and foster economic growth by advancing ?nancial regulatory reforms that promote market discipline and ensure the accountability cf ?nancial regulators. Shrinks the Federal workforce and increases its ef?ciency by redirecting resources away from duplicative policy of?ces to staff that manage the Nation?s ?nances. OMB-American Oversight-002074 and OMB-17-O119-B-001918 0 32;; DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides health care and a wide variety of bene?ts to military veterans and their survivors. The 2018 Budget ful?lls the President?s commitment to the Nation?s veterans by requesting the resources necessary to provide the support our veterans have earned through sacri?ce and service to our Nation. The Budget signi?cantly increases funding for VA Medical Care so that VA can continue to meet the ever?growing demand for health care services while building an integrated system of care that strengthens services within VA and makes effective use of community services. The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase ?om the 2017 enacted level. The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro- vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. 0 Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad range of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. 0 Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action, this criti? cal program Will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. 0 Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at?risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. 0 Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OMB-American Oversight-002075 and OMB-17-O119-B-001919 40 DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans" disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im- prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid. the costs of nfiaintazining outdated, inef?cient systems. OMB-American Oversight-002076 and OMB-17-O119-B-001920 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation?s environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers without justi?able environmental bene?ts. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21St Century. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health. The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related efforts?saving over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection Violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce of Enforcement 41 OMB-American Oversight-002077 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-001921 42 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, which is $129 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 0RD would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing SillAR grants. Categorical Grants with. $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with. the broader strategy ofstreamlini 1.1g environmental };)rotection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Ili?ederal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Rest<3>ration initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic: program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Elii'ninates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 al'mnalized CR level. Lower :priorit3r and poorly periorming programs and. grants are not funded, nor are duplicative fui'ictions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disrupt-or Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the Mexico Border. OMB-American Oversight-002078 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-001922 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world-leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public-private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth-centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve U. S. space goals and bene?t the economy. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for NASA, a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports and expands public-private partnerships as the foundation of future U. S. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates new opportunities for collaboration with industry on space station operations, supports public-private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. 0 Paves the way for eventual over-land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. 0 Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly fly by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost-effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA Will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-3, DSCOVR 43 OMB-American Oversight-002079 and 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTIC AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth-Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science Mission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency. Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration to reduce its cost and better position it to support a. nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in. a savings of $88 million from the 2017 an?lilualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safegua?ding critical systems and data. OMB-American Oversight-002080 and OMB-17-O119-B-001924 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive U.S. competitiveness, and help grow the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. 0 Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?- ciently serve program participants while achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR level. 0 Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters.

Web address: Min-f OMB-American Oversight?002148 and OMB-17-O119-B-001992 AMERICA FIRST Beginning at New Chapter of American Greatness A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: The American people elected me to ?ght for their priorities in Washington, DC. and deliver on my promise to protect our Nation. I fully intend to keep that promise. One of the most important ways the Federal Government sets priorities is through the Budget- of the United States. Accordingly, 1 submit to the Congress this Budget Blueprint to reprioritize Federal spending so that it advances the safety and security of the American people. Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demand of our citizenswa Government that puts the needs of its own people ?rst. When we do that, we Will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter ofAmerican greatness. A budget that puts America first must ma ke the safety of our people its number one priority? because without safety, there can be no prosperity. That is why I have instructed my Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, to craft a budget that emphasizes national security and public safety. That work is re?ected in this Budget Blueprint- To keep Americans safe, we have made tough choices that have been put off for too long. But we have also made necessary investments that are long overdue. My Budget Blueprint for 2018: 0 provides For one of the largest increases in defense spending Without increasing the debt; - signi?cantly increases the budget for immigration enforcement at the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security; 0 includes additional resources for a wall on the southern border with Mexico, immi? gration judges, expanded detention capacity, US. Attorneys, US. Immigration and Gaston?; Enforcement, and Border Patrol; 0 increases funding to address Violent crime and reduces opioid abuse; and - puts America first by keeping more ofAmerica?s hard?earned tax dollars here at home. The core of my ?rst Budget Blueprint is the rebuilding ofour Nation?s military Without adding to our Federal de?cit. There is a $54 billion increase in defense spending in 2018 that is offset by targeted reductions elsewhere. This defense funding is vital to rebuilding and preparing our Armed Forces for the future. We must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war, and when calied upon. to ?ght, do only one thing: Win. In these dangerous times, this public safety and national security Budget Blueprint is a message to the World?a message of American strength, security, and resolve. This Budget Blueprint follows through on my promise to focus on keeping Americans safe, keeping terrorists out of our country, and putting violent offenders behind bars. OM B?American Oversight?002149 and The defense and public safety spending increases in this Budget Blueprint are offset and paid for by ?nding greater savings and ef?ciencies across the Federal Government. Our Budget Blueprint insists on $54 billion in reductions to non?Defense programs. We are going to do more with less, and make the Government lean and accountable to the people. This includes deep cuts to foreign aid. It is time to prioritize the security and well?being of Americans, and to ask the rest of the world to step up and pay its fair share. Many other Government agencies and departments will also experience cuts. These cuts are sensible and rational. Every agency and department Will be driven to achieve greater ef?ciency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people. I look Forward to engaging the (ijongress and enacting this America. .F?irsf Budget. Donald J. Trump OM B-American Oversight?002150 and OMB-17-O119-B-001994 A Message from the Director, Of?ce of Management and Budget I am proud to introduce the ?America First? Budget. While recognizing this Blueprint is not the full Federal budget, it does provide lawmakers and the public with a View of the priorities of the President and his Administration. The Federal budget is a complex document. However, working for a President committed to keeping his promises means my job is as simple as translating his words into numbers. That is Why you Will find here a familiar focus on rebuilding and restoring our Nation?s security. Under the Obama Administration, our shrinking military has been stretched far too thin. The military has been forced to make aging ships, planes; and other vehicles last well beyond their intended life spans. The President will reverse this dangerous trend. From rebuilding our Armed Forces to bee?ng up our border security and safeguarding our Nation?s sovereignty? this Budget makes security priority one. It does so While meeting another ofthe President?s core commitments: addressing our Nation?s priorities Without sending future generations an even bigger credit card bill. This 2018 Budget Blueprint will not add to the de?cit. It has been crafted much the same way any American family creates its own budget While paying bills around their kitchen table; it makes hard choices. The President?s commitment to ?scal responsibility is historic. Not since early in President Reagan?s ?rst term have more tax dollars been saved and more Government inef?ciency and waste been targeted. Every corner of the Federal budget is scrutinized, every program tested, every penny of taxpayer money watched over. Our $20 trillion national debt is a crisis, not just for the Nation, but for every citizen. Each American?s share of this debt is more than $60,000 and growing. It is a challenge of great stakes, but one the American people can solve. Alnerican families make tough decisions every day about their own budgets; it is time 'Washington does the same. l\/Iick Mulvaney OJ OMB-American Oversight?002151 and OMB-17-O119-B-001995 OMB-American Oversight?002152 and OMB-17-O119-B-001996 AGENCY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS The 2018 Budget is being unveiled sequentially in that this Blueprint provides details only on our discretionary funding proposals. The full Budget that will be released later this spring Will include our speci?c mandatory and tax proposals, as well as a full fiscal path. For instance, the President has emphasized that one of his top priorities is modernizing the outdated infrastructure that the American public depends upon. To spearhead his infrastructure initiative, the President has tapped a group of infrastructure experts to evaluate investment options along with C(ilnimonsense regulatcin'y, administrative, organizational, and policy changes to encourage investment and speed project delivery. Through this initiative, the President is committed to making sure that taxpayer dollars are expended for the highest return. projects and that all levels of government maximize leverage to get the best deals and exercise vigorous oversight. The Administration will provide more budgetary, tax, and legislative details in the coming months. In the chapters that follow, Budget highlights are presented for major agencies. Consistent with the President?s approach to move the Nation toward ?scal responsibility, the Budget eliminates and reduces hundreds of programs and focuses funding to rede?ne the proper role of the Federal Government. The Budget also proposes to eliminate funding for other independent agencies, including: the African Development Foundation; the Appalachian Regional Commission; the Chemical Safety Board; the Corporation for National and Community Service; the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the Delta Regional Authority; the Denali Commission; the Institute of Museum and Library Services; the Inter-American Foundation; the US. Trade and Development Agency; the Legal Services Corporation; the National Endowment for the Arts; the National Endowment for the Humanities; the Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation; the Northern Border Regional Commission; the Overseas Private Investment C(?irporation; the United States Institute of Peace; the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

For decades, leaders on both sides of the aisle have talked about the need to make Government work better. The President is taking hold action now to make Government work again for the American people. As one of his ?rst acts as President, on January 23, 2017, the President issued a memorandum. imposing a Federal ?Hiring Freeze? and requiring a long?term plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government?s workforce. In addition, on. March 13, 201.7, the President signed Executive Order 13781 establishing a ?Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive Branch,? which set in motion the important work of reorganizing executive departments and agencies. These two actions are complementary and plans should re?ect both Presidential actions. Legislation will he required before major reorganization of the Executive Branch can take place, but the White House is best situated to review and recommend changes to the Congress. In roughly a year, the Congress will receive from the President and the Director of the Of?ce of Management and Budget (OMB) a comprehensive plan for reorganization proposals. The White House will work closely with congressional committees with jurisdiction over Government organization to ensure the needed reforms actually happen- Simultaneously, the Administration will develop the President?s Management Agenda focused on achieving signi?cant improvements in the effectiveness of its core management functions. The President?s l?vlanagement Agenda Will set goals in areas that are critical to im? proving the Federal Government?s effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability. The Administration will take action. to ensure that by 2020 we will be able to say the following: 1. Federal agencies are managing programs and delivering critical services more effectively. The Administration Will take an evidence? based approach to improving programs and services?using real, hard data to identify poorly organizations and programs. We will hold program managers accountable for improving performance and delivering high?quality and timely services to the American people and businesses. we will. use all tools available and create new ones as needed to ensure the workforce is appropriately prepared. 2. Federal agencies are devoting a greater percentage of taxpayer dollars to mission achievement rather than costly, unproductive compliance activities. Past management improvement initiatives resulted in the creation of hundreds of guidance documents aimed at improving Government management by adding more requirements to information technology (IT), human capital, acquisition, ?nancial management, and real property. Furthermore, these Government?wide policies often tie agencies? hands and keep managers from making commonsense decisions- OM B-American Oversight?002155 and OMB-17-0119-B-001999 MANAGEMENT As a result, costs often increase Without corresponding bene?ts. The Administration will roll back low?value activities and let managers manage, while hoiding them accountable for ?nding ways to reduce the cost of agency operations. As part of this effort, OMB wiil review requirements placed on agencies and identify areas to reduce obsolete, low-value requirements- Federal agencies are more effective and ef?cient in supporting program outcomes. Delivering high?performing program results and. services to citizens and businesses depends on effective and ef?cient mission support services. However, despite years of efforts to improve these criticai management pro- cesses, managers remain frustrated with 4. deployed. The Administration will use available data to develop targeted solu~ tions to problems Federal managers face, and begin ?xing them directly by sharing and adopting leading practices from the private and public sectors. Among the areas that will be addressed are how agencies buy goods and services, hire talent, use their real property, pay their bills]. and utilize technology. Agencies have been held accountable for improving performance. All Federal agencies will be responsible for reporting critical. performance metrics and showing demonstrable improvement. OMB will aiso regularly review agency progress in implementing these reforms to ensure there is consistent improvement. hiring methodologies that do not con- sistently bring in top talent, acquisition approaches that are too cumbersome, and IT that is outdated by the time it is Through this bold agenda, we will improve the effectiveness, ef?ciency, cybersecurity, and accountability of the Federal Government and make government work again. OM B-American Oversight?002156 and OMB-17-O119-B-002000 REGULATION Cutting Burdensome Regulations The American people deserve a regulatory system that works for them, not against them?a system that is both effective and efficient. Each year, however, Federal agencies issue thousands of new regulations that, taken together, impose substantial burdens on American consumers and businesses big and small. These burdens function much like taxes that unnecessarily inhibit growth and employment. Many regulations, though well intentioned, do not achieve their intended outcomes, are not structured in the most cost~effective manner, and often. have adverse, unanticipated consequences. Many more regulations that have been on the books for years?even if they made sense at the time?have gone unexamin ed and may no longer be effective or necessary. The President is committed to ?xing these problems by eliminating unnecessary and wasteful regulations. To that end, the President has already taken three signi?cant steps: 1. Regulatory freeze. On January 20, 2017, the President?s ChiefofStaffissued a memorandum to all agencies, directing them to pull back any regulations that had been sent to, but not yet published by, the Of?ce of the Federal Register; to not publish any new regulations unless approved by an Administration political appointee; and to delay the effective date of any pending regulations for 60 days to provide the Administration. time to review and reconsider those regulations. Federal agencies responded by pulling back, delaying, and not publishing all possible regulations. Controlling costs and eliminating unnecessary regulations. On January 30, 2017, the President signed Executive Order 13771, ?Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.? This Executive Order represents a fundamental change in the regulatory state. It requires Federal agencies to eliminate at least two existing regulations for each new regulation they issue. it also requires agencies to ensure that for 2017, the total incremental cost of alt new regulations be no greater than. For 2018 and beyond, the Order establishes and institutionalizes a disciplined process for imposing regulatory cost caps for each Federal agency. The signi? cant structural reforms instituted by this Executive Order provide the necessary framework for Federal agencies to carry out the President?s bold regulatory reform agenda. Enforcing the regulatory reform agenda. As a successful businessman, the President knows that achievement requires accountability. That basic principle is the reason the President signed Executive Order 13777, ?Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda,? on February 24, 2017. This Order establishes within each agency a Regulatory Reform Of?cer and a Regulatory Reform Task Force to carry out the President?s regulatory reform priorities- These new teams will OM B-American Oversight?002157 and OMB-17-O119-B-002001 10 REGULATION work hard to identify regulations that eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; or impose costs that exceed bene?ts. They will also be responsible for en? suring that agencies comply with the President?s instruction to eliminate two regulations for each new regula- tion; impose no new incremental costs through regulation; and undertake ef? forts to repealj replace, or modify existing regulations. This Order builds upon a Widely rec- ognized and bi-partisan consensus that many existing regulations are likely to be ineffective and no longer necessary, and explicitly builds upon the retrospective review efforts initiated through Executive Order 13563. The difference, however, is accountability, and these teams will be a critical means by which Federal agen- cies will identify and cut regulations in. a smart and ef?cient manner. The President recently told Americans, ?The era of empty talk is over.? When it comes to regulatory reform, it is abundantly clear that the President means business. The President has put into place truly signi?cant new structural mechanisms that will help to ensure that major regulatory reforms are ?nally achieved on behalf of the hardworking and forgotten men and women ofAmerica. The Of?ce of Information and Regulatory Affairs Within OMIB is already working hard to support the implementation of these critical new reforms, and it looks forward to making sure that they are fully and success?illy implemented over the coming months and years. OM B-American Oversight?002158 and OMB-17-O119-B-002002 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE The Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides leadership to promote sustainable agricultural production, protect the long-term availability of food through innovative research, and safeguard the health and productivity of the Nation?s forests, grasslands, and private working lands based on sound public policy and ef?cient management. USDA also works to ensure food safety, provide nutrition assistance, and support. rural communities. The Budget request supports core Departmental and mission critical activities While streamlining, reducing, or eliminating duplicative, redundant, or lower priority programs Where the Federal role competes with the private sector or other levels of government. The President?s 2O 18 Budget requests $17.9 billion for USDA, a $4.7 billion or 21 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized continuing resolution (CR) level (excluding funding for PL. 480 Title II food aid which is re?ected in the Department of State and USAID budget). The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Safeguards the Nation?s supply of meat, poultry, and egg products by fully funding the Food Safety and Inspection Service, which employs more than 8,000 in?plant and other frontline personnel who protect public health in approximately 6,400 federally inspected slaughter and processing establishments nationwide. 0 Provides $6.2 billion to serve all projected participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children W1C provides grants to States for sup? plemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant and postpartum W'oInen, infants, and children Who are at nutritional risk. 0 Fully funds Wildland ?re preparedness and suppression activities at $2.4 billion, 100 percent of the 10-year average for suppression operations, to ensure the resources necessary to protect life and property. 0 Reduces funding for lower priority activities in the National Forest System, such as major new Federal land acquisition; instead, the Budget focuses on maintaining existing forests and grasslands. Continues to support farmer?focused research and extension partnerships at land?grant universities and provides about $350 million for ?agship competitive research program. In addition, the Budget focuses in-house research funding within the Agricultural Research Service to the highest 11 OM B-American Oversight?002159 and OMB-17-O119-B-002003 12 DEPARTIVIENT OF AGRECULTURE priority agriculture and food issues such as increasing farming productivity, sustaining natural resourc? es, including those Within rural communities, and addressing food safety and nutrition priorities. Reduces funding for statistical capabilities, While maintaining core Departmental ana- lytical functions, such as the funding necessary to complete the Census of Agriculture. Eliminates the duplicative Water and Wastewater loan and grant program, a savings of $498 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Rural communities can be served by private sector ?nancing or other Federal investments in rural water infrastructure, such as the Environmental Protection Agency?s State Revolving Funds. Reduces staf?ng in Service Center Agencies to streamline county of?ce operations, re- ?ect reduced Rural Development workload, and encourage private sector conservation planning. Reduces duplicative and underperforming programs by eliminating discretionary activities of the Rural Business and Cooperative Service, a savings of $95 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Eliminates the McGovern?Dole International Food for Education program, which lacks evidence that it is being effectively implemented to reduce food insecurity. OM B-American Oversight?002160 and OMB-17-O119-B-002004 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE The Department of Commerce promotes job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and secure trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development. The Budget prioritizes and protects investments in core Government functions such as preparing for the 2020 Decennial Census, providing the observational infrastructure and staff necessary to produce timely and accurate weather forecasts, supporting the Government?s role in managing marine resources and ocean and coastal navigation, and enforcing laws that promote fair and secure trade. The Budget also reduces or eliminates grant programs that have limited impact and re?ect an expansion beyond core missions of the bureaus. ri?he Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $7-8 billion for the Department oi'Commerce, a $1.5 billion or 16 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Strengthens the International Trade Administration?s trade enforcement and compliance func? tions, including the anti?dumping and countervailing duty investigations, While rescaling the agency?s export promotion and trade analysis activities. 0 Provides $15 billion, an increase of more than $100 million, for the US. Census Bureau to continue preparations for the 2020 Decennial Census. This additional funding prioritizes fun?? damental investments in information technology and ?eld infrastructure, which would allow the bureau to more effectively administer the 2020 Decennial Census. Consolidates the mission, policy support, and administrative functions of the Economics and Statistics Administration within the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the US, Census Bureau, and the Department of Commerce?s Of?ce of the Secretary. 0 Eliminates the Economic Development Administration, Which provides small grants With lini- ited measurable impacts and duplicates other Federal programs, such as Rural Utilities Service grants at the US, Department ongriculture and formula grants to States from the Department of Transportation. By terminating this agency, the Budget saves $221 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. 13 OMB-American Oversight?002161 and OMB-17-O119-B-002005 14 DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Eliminates the Minority Business Development Agency, which is duplicative of other Federal, State, locai, and private sector efforts that promote minority business entrepreneurship inciud~ ing Small Business Administration District Of?ces and Small Business Development Centers. Saves 124 million by discontinuing Federal funding for the lVIanufacturin Extension Partnership (MEP) program, which subsidizes up to half the cost of State centers, which provide consulting services to small- and medium-size manufacturers. By eliminating Federal funding, MEP cen? ters would transition solely to non-Federal revenue sources, as was originally intended When the program was established. Zeroes out over $250 million in targeted National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) grants and programs supporting coastal and marine management, research, and edu- cation including Sea Grant, which primarily bene?t industry and State and local stakeholders. These programs are a lower priority than core functions maintained in the Budget such as surveys, charting, and ?sheries management. lVIairItains the development of current generation of polar orbiting and geostationary weather satellites, allowing the Joint E?olar Satellite System and. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite programs to remain on schedule in order to provide forecasters With critical weather data to help protect life and property.

OM B-American Oversight?002162 and OMB-17-O119-B-002006 DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE The Department of Defense (DOD) provides the military forces needed to deter war and to protect the security of the United States. The budget for DOD ends the depletion of our military and pursues peace through strength, honoring the Federal Government?s ?rst responsibility: to protect the Nation. It fully repeals the defense sequestration, While providing the needed resources for accelerating the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and for beginning to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $639 billion for DOD, a $52 billion increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The total includes $574 billion for the base budget, a 10 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level, and $65 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The President?s 2018 Budget: Repeals the defense sequestration by restoring $52 billion to DOD, as well as $2 billion to other national defense programs outside DOD, for a $54 billion total increase for national defense discretionary budget authority above the sequestration level budget cap. When the Budget Control Act (BOA) of 2011 was enacted, the defense sequestration was not meant to occur, yet it has never been fully repealed. This has resulted in nearly $200 billion of'national defense cuts Since 2013 and over $200 billion of further projected cuts through 202], relative to the original BCA caps alone. Reversing this indiscriminate neglect of the last administration is not only a fulfillment of the President?s promise, but it is also a requirement if this Nation?s security is to be maintained. The military?s depletion under President Obama is our foremost challenge. The President?s 2018 Budget ends the arbitrary depletion of our strength and security, and begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces. Increases budget authority by $52 billion above the current 2017 level of$587 billion- This increase alone. exceeds the entire defense budget of most countries, and would be one of the largest one-year DOD increases in American history. It is exceeded only by the peak increases of the Reagan Administration and a few of the largest defense increases during the World Wars and the con?icts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan (in constant dollars, based on GDP chained price index). Unlike spending increases for war, which mostly consume resources in combat} the increases in the President?s Budget primarily invest in a stronger military. 0 OM B-American Oversight?002163 and OMB-17-O119-B-002007 16 DE PARTNEENT OF DEFENSE Provides the resources needed to accelerate the defeat of ISIS. The Budget ensures that DOD has the tools to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding the Department?s critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its ?nancing. Addresses urgent war?ghting readiness needs. Fifteen years of con?ict, accompanied in recent years by budget cuts, have stressed the Armed Forces. The President?s Budget would ensure we remain the best led, best equipped, and most ready force in the world. Begins to rebuild the US. Armed Forces by addressing pressing shortfalls, such as insuf?cient stocks of critical munitions, personnel gaps, deferred maintenance and modernization, cyber vulnerabilities, and degraded facilities. The military must reset war losses, address recapital- ization and maintenance requirements, and recover from years of deferred investment forced by budget cuts. The President?s Budget would ensure the Armed Forces have the training, equip? ment, and infrastructure they need. Lays the groundwork. for a larger, more capable, and more lethal joint force, driven by a new National Defense Strategy that recognizes the need for American superiority not only on land, at sea, in the air, and in space, but also in cyberspace- As the world has become more dangerous? through the rise of advanced potential adversaries, the spread of destructive technolog and the expansion of terrorismwour military has gotten smaller and its technological edge has eroded. The President?s Budget begins to put an end to this trend, reversing force reductions and restor? ing critical investments. Initiates an ambitious reform agenda to build a military that is as effective and ef?cient as possible, and underscores the President?s commitment to reduce the costs of military programs Wherever feasible. Strengthens the US. Army by rebuilding readiness, reversing end strength reductions, and preparing for future challenges. This Budget is an initial step toward restoring an Army that has been stressed by high operational demand and constrained funding levels in recent years. Rebuilds the US. Navy to better address current and future threats by increasing the total number of ships. This Budget reflects a down payment on the President?s commitment to expanding the fleet. Ensures a ready and fully equipped Marine Corps. The Budget lays the foundation for a force that meets the challenges ofthc 21? Century. Accelerates Air Force efforts to improve tactical air ?eet readiness, ensure technical superiority, and repair aging infrastructure. Key investments in maintenance capacity, training systems, and additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters would enable the Air Force, which is new the smallest it has been in history, to counter the growing number of complex threats from sophisticated st ate actors and transnational terrorist groups- OM B-American Oversight?002164 and OMB-17-O119-B-002008 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Department of Education promotes improving student achievement and access to opportunity in elementary, secondary, and postsecondary education. The Department would refocus its mission on supporting States and school districts in their efforts to provide high quality education to all our students. Also, it would focus on streamlining and simplifying funding for college, while continuing to help make college education more affordable. The 2018 Budget places power in the hands of parents and families to choose schools that are best for their children by investing an additional $1.4 billion in school choice programs. It continues support for the Nation?s most vulnerable populations, such as students With disabilities. Overall, the Department would support these investments and carry out its core mission While lowering costs to the taxpayer by reducing or eliminating funding for programs that are not effective, that duplicate other efforts, or that do not serve national needs. The President?s 2018 Budget provides $59 billion in discretionary funding for the Department ofEducation, a $9 billion or 13 percent reduction below the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: 9 Increases investments in public and private school choice by $1.4 billion compared to the 2017 annualized CR level, ramping up to an annual total of $20 billion, and an estimated $100 billion including matching State and local funds. This additional investment in 2018 includes a $168 million increase for charter schools, $250 million for a new private school choice program, and a $1 billion increase for Title I, dedicated to encouraging districts to adopt a system of student? based budgeting and open enrollment that enables Federal, State, and local funding to follow the student to the public school of his or her choice. 0 Maintains approximately $13 billion in funding for IDEA programs to support students with special education needs. This funding provides Stat-es, school districts, and other grantees with the resources needed to provide high quality special. education. and related services to students and young adults with disabilities. 0 Eliminates the $2.4 billion Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program, which is poorly targeted and spread thinly across thousands of districts with scant evidence of impact. 0 Eliminates the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program, which supports before? and after?school programs as well as summer programs, resulting in savings of $1.2 billion. from the 2017 annualized CR level.

Safeguards the Pell Grant program by level funding the discretionary appropriation while proposing a cancellation of? $3.9 billion from unobligated carryover funding, leaving the Pell program on sound footing for the next decade. Protects support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority?Serving Institutions, which provide opportunities for ties that are often underserved, maintaining $492 million in funding for programs that serve high percentages of minority students. Reduces Federal Work-Study signi?cantly and reforms the poorly-targeted allocation to ensure funds go to undergraduate students who would bene?t most. Provides $808 million for the Federal TRIO Programs and $219 million for GEAR UP, resulting in savings of $193 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. Funding to TRIO programs is reduced in areas that have limited evidence on the overall effectiveness in improving student outcomes. The Budget funds GEAR UP continuation awards only, pending the completion of an upcoming rigorous evaluation of a portion of the program.

The Budget for DOE demonstrates the Administration?s commitment to reasserting the proper role of what has become a sprawling Federal Government and reducing de?cit spending. It re?ects an increased reliance on the private sector to fund later?stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies and focuses resources toward early-stage research and development. It emphasizes energy technologies best positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job?growth in the near to mid-term. It also ensures continued progress on cleaning up sites contaminated from nuclear weapons production and energy research and includes a path forward to accelerate progress on the disposition of nuclear waste. At the same time, the Budget demonstrates the Adininistration?s strong support for the United States" nuclear security enterprise and ensures that we have a nuclear force that is second to none. The Presidentis 2018 Budget requests $28.0 billion for DOEJ a $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level.

The Budget supports the core mission of HHS through the most ef?cient and effective health and human service programs. In 2018, HHS funds the highest priorities, such as: health services through community health centers, Ryan VVhite providers, and the Indian Health Service; early care and education; and medical products review and innovation. in addition; it funds urgent public health issues, such as prescription drug overdose, and program integrity for Medicare and Medicaid. The Budget eliminates programs that are duplicative or have limited impact on public health and well-being. The Budget allows HHS to continue to support priority activities that re?ect a new and sustainable approach to long?term ?scal stability across the Federal Government. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $69.0 billion for HHS, a $15.1 billion or 17.9 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This funding level excludes certain mandatory spending changes but includes additional funds for program integrity and implementing the 2lst Century CURES Act.

OM B?American Oversight-002169 and 22 DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Supports substance abuse treatment services for the millions of Americans struggling with substance abuse disorders. The opioid epidemic, which took more than 33,000 lives in calendar year 2015. has a devastating effect on America?s families and communities. In addition to funding Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration substance abuse treatment activities, the Budget also includes a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels to expand opioid misuse prevention efforts and to increase access to treatment and. recovery services to help Americans who are misusing opioids get the help they need. Recalibrates Food and Drug Administration (FDA) medical product user fees to over $2 billion in 2018, approximately $1 billion over the 2017 annualized CR level, and replaces the need for new budget authority to cover pie-market review costs. To complement the increase in medical product user fees, the Budget includes a package of administrative actions designed to achieve regulatory ef?ciency and speed the development of safe and effective medical products. In a constrained budget environment, industries that bene?t from approval can and should pay for their share. Reduces the National Institutes of Health?s (NIH) spending relative to the 2017 annualized CR level by $5.8 billion to $25.9 billion. The Budget includes a major reorganization of Institutes and Centers to help focus resources on the highest priority research and training activities, including: eliminating the Fogarty International Center; consolidating the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality within and other consolidations and structural changes across NIH organizations and activities. The Budget also reduces administrative costs and rebalance Federal contributions to research funding. Reforms key public health, emergency preparedness, and prevention programs. For example, the Budget restructure-s similar HHS preparedness grants to reduce overlap and administrative costs and directs resources to States with the greatest need. The Budget also creates a new Federal Emergency Response Fund to rapidly respond to public health outbreaks, such as Zika Virus Disease. The Budget also reforms the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through a new $500 million block grant to increase State ?exibility and focus on the leading public health challenges speci?c to each State. Invests in mental health activities that are awarded to high?performing entities and focus on high priority areas, such as suicide prevention, serious mental illness, and children?s Inental health. Eliminates $403 million in health professions and nursing training programs, which lack evidence that they signi?cantly improve the Nation?s health workforce. The Budget continues to fund health workforce activities that provide scholarships and loan repayments in exchange for service in areas of the United States where there is a shortage of health professionals. Eliminates the discretionary programs within the Office of Community Services, including the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Community Services Block Grant a savings of$42 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. Compared. to other income support programs that serve similar populations, LIHEAP is a lower~impact program and is unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes. CSBG funds services that are duplicative of other Federal programs, such as emergency food assistance and employment services, and is also a limited?impact program. OM B-American Oversight?002170 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-002014 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a Vital nlission: to secure the Nation from the many threats it faces. This requires the dedication of more than 240,000 employees in jobs that ensure the security of the US. borders, support the integrity of its immigration system, protect air travelers and national leaders, reduce the threat of cyber attacks, and stand prepared for emergency response and disaster recovery. The Budget prioritizes DHS law enforcement operations, proposes critical investments in frontline border security, and funds continued development of strong cybersecurity defenses. The Budget would aggressively implement the President?s commitment to construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by his January 25, 2017 Executive Order, and ensures robust funding for other important DHS missions. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $44.1 billion in net discretionary budget authority for DHS, a $2.8 billion or 6.8 percent increase from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget would allocate $4.5 billion in additional funding for programs to strengthen the security of the Nation?s borders and enhance the integrity of its immigration system. This increased investment in the Nation?s border security and immigration enforcement efforts now would ultimately save Federal resources in the future. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical in?? ?'astructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border as directed by the President?s January 25, 2017 Executive Order. This investment would strengthen border security, helping stem the flow of people and drugs illegally crossing the US. borders. 0 Advances the President?s plan to strengthen border security and immigration enforcement with $314 million to recruit, hire, and train 500 new Border Patrol Agents and 1,000 new and Customs Enforcement law enforcement personnel in 2018, plus associated support staff. These new personnel would improve the integrity of the immigration system by adding capacity to interdict those aliens attempting to cross the border illegally, as well as to identify and remove those already in the United States who entered illegally 0 Enhances enforcement of'immigration laws by proposing an additional $1.5 billion above the 2017 annualized CR level for expanded detention, transportation, and removal of illegal immigrants. 23 OMB-American Oversight?002171 and OMB-17-O119-B-002015 24 OF HOMELAND SECURITY These funds would ensure that DHS has suf?cient detention capacity to hold prioritized aliens, including violent criminals and other dangerous individuals, as they are processed for removal. Invests $15 million to begin implementation of mandatory nationwide use of the E-Verify Program, an internet?hased system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their new employees to work in the United States. This investment would strengthen the employment veri?cation process and reduce unauthorized employment across the US. Safeguards cyberspace with $1.5 billion for DHS activities that protect Federal networks and critical infrastructure from. an attack. Through a suite of advanced cyber security tools and more assertive defense of Government networks, DHS would share more cybersecurity incident information with other Federal agencies and the private sector, leading to faster responses to cybersecurity attacks directed at Federal networks and critical infrastructure. Restructures selected user fees for the Transportaticm Security Administration (TSA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to ensure that the cost of Government services is not subsidized by taxpayers who do not directly bene?t from those programs. The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee to recover ?7 5 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security op? erations. The Budget proposes eliminating the discretionary appropriation for the Flood Hazard Mapping Program, a savings of $190 million, to instead explore other more effective and fair means of funding ?ood mapping efforts. Eliminates or reduces State and local. grant funding by $667 million for programs administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that are either unauthorized by the Congress, such as Pro?Disaster Mitigation Grant Program, or that must provide more measurable results and ensure the Federal. Government is not supplanting other stakeholders responsibilities, such as the Homeland Security Grant Program. For that reason, the Budget also proposes establishing a 25 percent min?Federal cost match for FEMA preparedness grant awards that currently require no cost match. This is the same cost?sharing approach as disaster recovery grants. The activities and acquisitions funded through these grant programs are primarily State and local functions. Eliminates and reduces unauthorized. and underper?iirming programs administered by TSA in order to strengthen screening at airport security checkpoints, a savings of $80 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. These savings include reductions to the Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response program, which achieves few Federal law enforcement priorities, and elimination of TSA grants to State and local jurisdictions, a program intended to incentivize lo- cal law enforcement patrols that should already be a high priority for State and local partners. In addition, the Budget re?ects decision in the summer of 2016 to eliminate the Behavior Detection Of?cer program, reassigning all of those personnel to front line airport security op- erations. Such efforts refocus TSA on its core mission of protecting travelers and ensuring Federal security standards are enforced throughout the transportation system. OM B-American Oversight?002172 and OMB-17-O119-B-002016 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pronlotes decent, safe, and affordable housing for Americans and provides access to homeownership opportunities. This Budget re?ects the President?s conimitnlent to fiscal responsibility While supporting critical functions that provide rental assistance to low?income and vulnerable households and help work?eligible families achieve self?suf?ciency. The Budget also recognizes a greater role for State and local governments and the private sector to address community and economic development needs. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $40.7 billion in gross discretionary funding for HUD, a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides over $35 billion for rental assistance programs and proposes reforms that re duce costs While continuing to assist 4.5 million low?income households. Eliminates funding for the Community Development Block Grant program, a savings of $3 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Federal Government has spent over $150 billion on this block grant since its inception in 1974, but the program is not well?targeted to the poorest popuiations and has not demonstrated results. The Budget devolves community and economic development activities to the State and local level, and redirects Federal resources to other activities. Promotes fiscal responsibility by eliminating funding for a number of lower priority programs, in? cluding the Investment Partnerships Program, Choice Neighborhoods, and the Self?help Homeownership Opportunity Program, a savings of over $1.1 billion from the 2017 annualized CR level- State and local governments are better positioned to serve their communities based on local needs and priorities. Promotes healthy and lead?safe homes by providing $130 million, an increase of $20 million over the 2017 annualized CR level, for the mitigation of lead-based paint and other hazards in low-income homes, especially those in which children reside. This also funds enforcement, education, and research activities to further support this goal, all of which contributes to lower healthcare costs and increased productivity. OM B-American Oversight?002173 and OMB-17-O119-B-002017 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPIVIENT Eliminates funding for Section 4 Capacity Building for Community Development and Affordable Housing, 21 savings of $35 million from the 2017 annualized CR level.

OMB-American Oversight?002174 and OMB-17-O119-B-002018 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR The Department of the Interior (D01) is responsible for protecting and managing vast areas of US. lands and waters, providing scienti?c and other information about its natural resources, and meeting the Nation?s trust responsibilities and other commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and U.S.uaf?liated island communities. The Budget requests an increase in funding for core energy development programs while supporting priority agency mission and trust responsibilities, including public safety, land conservation and revenue management. It eliminates funding for unnecessarj,r or duplicative programs While reducing funds for lower priority activities, such as acquiring new lands. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $11.6 billion for DUI, a $1.5 billion or 12 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens the Nation?s energy security by increasing funding for DOI programs that support environmentally responsible development of energy on public lands and offshore waters. Combined with administrative reforms already in progress, this would allow DOI to streamline permitting processes and provide industry with access to the energy resources America needs, while ensuring taxpayers receive a fair return from the development of these public resources. Sustains funding for Of?ce of Natural Resources Revenue: which manages the collection and disbursement of roughly $10 billion annually from mineral development, an important source of revenue to the Federal Treasury, States, and Indian mineral owners. Eliminates unnecessary, lower priority, or duplicative programs, including discretionary Abandoned Mine Land grants that overlap with existing mandatory grants, National Heritage Areas that are more appropriately funded locally, and National Wildlife Refuge fund payments to local governments that are duplicative of other payment programs. Supports stewardship capacity for land management operations of the National Park Service, Fish and lNildliie Service and Bureau ofLand l?vlanagement. The Budget streamlines operations While providing the necessary resources for DUI to continue to protect and conserve America?s public lands and beautiful natural resources, provide access to public lands for the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, and ensure visitor safety. OM B-American Oversight?002175 and OMB-17-O119-B-002019 28 OF THE INTERIOR Supports tribal sovereignty and self?determination across Indian Country by focusing on core funding and services to support ongoing tribal government operations. The Budget reduces funding for more recent demonstration proiects and initiatives that only serve a few Tribes. Reduces funding for lower priority activities, such as new major acquisitions of Federal land. The Budget reduces land acquisition funding by more than $120 million from the 2017 annualized CR level and would instead focus available discretionary funds on investing in, and maintaining, existing national parks, refuges and public lands. Ensures that the National Park Service assets are preserved for future generations by increasing investment in deferred maintenance projects. Reduces funds for other DOI construction and major maintenance programs, which can rely on existing resources for 2018. Provides more than $900 million for US. Geological Survey to focus investments in essential science programs. This includes funding for the Landsat 9 ground. system? as well as research and data collection that informs sustainable energy development, responsible resource management, and naturai hazard risk reduction. Leverages taxpayer investment with public and private resources through wildlife conservation, historic preservation, and recreation grants. These voluntary programs encourage partnerships by providing matching funds that produce greater bene?ts to taxpayers for the Federal dollars invested. Budgets responsibly for Wildland ?re suppression. expenses. The Budget would directly provide the full 10?year rolling average of suppression expenditures. Invests over $1 billion in safe, reliable, and ef?cient management of water resources throughout the western United States.

The budget for the Department of Justice saves taxpayer dollars by consolidating, reducing, streamlining, and making its programs and operations more ef?cient- The Budget also makes critical investments to confront terrorism, reduce violent crime, tackle the Nation?s opioid epidemic, and combat illegal immigration- The President?s 2018 Budget requests $27.7 billion for the Department of Justice, a $1.1 billion or 3.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. This program level excludes mandatory spending changes involving the Crime Victims Fund and the Assets Forfeiture Fund. However. signi?cant targeted increases would enhance the ability to address key issues, including public safety, law enforcement, and national security. Further, the Administration is concerned about so?called sanctuary jurisdictions and will be taking steps to mitigate the risk their actions pose to public safety. The President?s 2018 Budget: Strengthens counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and Federal law enforcement activities by providing an increase of $249 million, or 3 percent, above the 2017 annualized CR level for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI would devote resources toward its world?class cadre of special agents and intelligence as well as invest $761 million more to ?ght terrorism and combat ftu'eign intelligence and cyber threats and address public safety and national security risks that result from malicious actors? use of products and services. In addition, the FBI would dedicate $35 million to gather and share intelligence data with partners and together with the Department of Defense (DOD) lead Federal efforts in biometric identity resolution, research, and development. The FBI would also spend an additional $9 million to provide accurate and timely response for ?rearlns purchase background checks, and develop and re?ne evidence and data to target violent crime in some cities and communities. 0 Supports efforts at the Department?s law enforcement components by providing a combined increase of $175 million above the 2017 annualized CR level to target the worst of the worst criminal organizations and drug traf?ckers in order to address violent crime, gun?related deaths, and the opioid epidemic. 29 OM B-American Oversight?002177 and OMB-17-O119-B-002021 30 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Enhances national security and counterterrorism efforts by linking skilled prosecutors and intelligence attorneys With law enforcement investigations and the intelligence community to stay ahead of threats.

Critical programs aimed at protecting the life and safety of State and local law enforcement personnel, including Preventing Violence Against Law Enforcement Of?cer Resilience and Survivability and the BulletproofVest Partnership, are protected. Eliminates approximately $700 million in unnecessary spending on outdated programs that either have met their goal or have exceeded their usefulness, including $210 million for the poorly targeted State Criminal Alien Assistance Program, in which two?thirds of the funding primarily reimburses four States for the cost of incarcerating certain illegal criminal aliens. Achieves savings of almost a billion dollars from the 2017 annualized CR level in Federal prison construction spending due to excess capacity resulting from an approximate 14 percent decrease in the prison population since 2Gi3. However, the Budget provides $80 million above the 20?? annualized CR level for the activation of an existing facility to reduce high security Federal inmate overcrowding and a total of $113 million to repair and modernize outdated prisons. Increases bankruptcy-?ling fees to produce an additional $150 million over the 2017 annualized CR level to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight.

Shifts some foreign military assistance from grants to loans in order to reduce costs for the US. taxpayer, while potentially allowing recipients to purchase more American?made weaponry with US- assistance, but on a repayable basis. Reduces funding to the UN and af?liated agencies, including UN peacekeeping and other inter? national organizations, by setting the expectation that these organizations rein in costs and that the funding burden be shared more fairly among members. The amount the US. would contrib- ute to the UN budget would be reduced and the US. would not contribute more than 25 percent for UN peacekeeping costs. Refocuses economic and development assistance to countries of greatest strategic importance to the US. and ensures the effectiveness of US. taxpayer investments by rightsizing funding across countries and sectors. Allows for signi?cant funding of humanitarian assistance, including food aid, disaster, and refu- gee program funding. This would focus funding on the highest priority areas While asking the rest of the world to pay their fair share.

The Budget request includes increased funding for and extension of the Veterans Choice Program, making it easier for eligible veterans to access the medical care they need, close to home. rl?he Presidentgs 2018 Budget requests $78.9 billion in discretionary funding for VA, a $4.4 billion or 6 percent increase from the 2017 enacted level, The Budget also requests legislative authority and $3.5 billion in mandatory budget authority in 2018 to continue the Veterans Choice Program. The President?s 2018 Budget: 0 Ensures the Nation?s veterans receive high?quality health care and timely access to bene?ts and services. An estimated 11 million veterans participate in VA programs. This Budget pro? vides the resources necessary to ensure veterans receive the care and support earned through their service to the Nation. Provides a $4.6 billion increase in discretionary funding for VA health care to improve patient access and timeliness of medical care services for over nine million enrolled veterans. This funding would enable the Department to provide a broad ran go of primary care, specialized care, and related medical and social support services to enrolled veterans, including services that are uniquely related to veterans? health and special needs. 0 Extends and funds the Veterans Choice Program to ensure that every eligible veteran continues to have the choice to seek care at VA or through a private provider. Without action; this criti- cal program Will expire in August 2017, which would result in veterans having fewer choices of where to receive care. 0 Supports VA programs that provide services to homeless and at?risk veterans and their families to help keep them safe and sheltered. 0 Provides access to education bene?ts, enhanced services, and other programs to assist veterans? transition to civilian life. VA partners with other agencies to provide critical training, support services, and counseling throughout a veteran?s transition and their post?military career. 39 OM B-American Oversight?002187 and OMB-17-O119-B-002031 4O DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Continues critical investments aimed at optimizing productivity and transforming claims processes. Provides resources to reduce the time required to process and adjudicate veterans? disability compensation claims. Invests in information technology to improve the ef?ciency and ef?cacy of VA services. Provides suf?cient funding for sustainment, development, and modernization initiatives that would im- prove the quality of services provided to veterans and avoid the costs of maintaining outdated, inef?cient systems. OMB-American Oversight?002188 and OMB-17-O119-B-002032 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for protecting human health and the environment. The budget for EPA re?ects the success of environmental protection efforts, a focus on core legal requirements, the important role of the States in implementing the Nation ?8 environmental laws, and the President?s priority to ease the burden of unnecessary Federal regulations that impose signi?cant costs for workers and consumers Without justi?able environmental benefits. This would result in approximately 3,200 fewer positions at the agency. EPA would primarily support States and Tribes in their important role protecting air, land, and water in the 21?"t Centur 7. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $5.7 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency, a savings of $2.6 billion, or 31 percent, from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Provides robust funding for critical drinking and wastewater infrastructure. These funding levels further the President?s ongoing commitment to infrastructure repair and replacement and would allow States, municipalities, and private entities to continue to ?nance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health- The Budget includes $2.3 billion for the State Revolving Funds, a $4 million increase over the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget also provides $20 million for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act program, equal to the funding provided in the 2017 annualized CR. This credit subsidy could potentially support $1 billion in direct Federal loans. Discontinues funding for the Clean Power Plan, international climate change programs, climate change research and partnership programs, and related over $100 million for the American taxpayer compared to 2017 annualized CR levels. Consistent with the President?s America First Energy Plan, the Budget reorients air program to protect the air we breathe without unduly burdening the American economy. Reins in Superfund administrative costs and emphasizes ef?ciency efforts by funding the Hazardous Substance Superfund Account at $762 million, $330 million below the 2017 annualized CR level. The agency would prioritize the use of existing settlement funds to clean up hazardous waste sites and look for ways to remove some of the barriers that have delayed the program?s ability to return sites to the community. Avoids duplication by concentrating enforcement of environmental protection violations on programs that are not delegated to States, While providing oversight to maintain consistency and assistance across State, local, and tribal programs. This reduces Of?ce ofEnforcement 41 OM B?American Oversight?002189 and 42 ENVIRON PROTECTION AGENCY and Compliance Assurance budget to $419 million, Which is $129 million below the 28}? annualized CR level. Better targets Of?ce of Research and Development (0RD) at a level of approximately $250 million, which would result in a savings of $233 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. OED would prioritize activities that support decision?making related to core environmental statutory requirements, as opposed to extramural activities, such as providing STAR grants. Supports Categorical Grants with $597 million, a $482 million reduction below 2017 annualized CR levels. These lower levels are in line with the broader strategy of streamlining environmental protection. This funding level eliminates or substantially reduces Federal investment in State environmental activities that go beyond statutory requirements. Eliminates funding for speci?c regional efforts such as the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, the Chesapeake Bay, and other geographic programs. These geographic program eliminations are $427 million lower than the 2017 annualized CR levels. The Budget returns the responsibility for funding local environmental efforts and programs to State and local entities, allowing EPA to focus on its highest national priorities. Eliminates more than 50 EPA programs, saving an additional $347 million compared to the 2017 annualized CR level. Lower priority and poorly performing programs and grants are not funded, nor are duplicative functions that can be absorbed into other programs or that are State and local responsibilities. Examples of eliminations in addition to those previously mentioned include: Energy Star; Targeted Airshed Grants; the Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program; and infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the 'Mexico Border. OM B-American Oversight?002190 and OMB-17-O119-B-002034 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is responsible for increasing understanding of the universe and our place in it, advancing America?s world?leading aerospace technology, inspiring the Nation, and opening the space frontier. The Budget increases cooperation with industry through the use of public?private partnerships, focuses the Nation?s efforts on deep space exploration rather than Earth?centric research, and develops technologies that would help achieve US. space goals and bene?t the economy. The Presidents 2018 Budget requests $19.1 billion for a 0.8 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level, with targeted increases consistent with the President?s priorities. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports and expands public?private partnerships as the foundation offuturc US. civilian space efforts. The Budget creates newr opportunities for collaboration With industry on space station operations, supports public?private partnerships for deep-space habitation and exploration systems, funds data buys from companies operating small satellite constellations, and supports work with industry to develop and commercialize new space technologies. Paves the way for eventual over?land commercial supersonic ?ights and safer, more ef?cient air travel with a strong program of aeronautics research. The Budget provides $624 million for aeronautics research and development. Reinvigorates robotic exploration of the Solar System. by providing $1.9 billion for the Planetary Science program, including funding for a mission to repeatedly ?y by Jupiter?s icy ocean moon Europa and a Mars rover that would launch in 2020. To preserve the balance of science portfolio and maintain ?exibility to conduct missions that were determined to be more important by the science community, the Budget provides no funding for a multi?billion?dollar mission to land on Europa. The Budget also supports initiatives that use smaller, less expensive satellites to advance science in a cost?effective manner. 0 Provides $3.7 billion for continued development of the Orion crew vehicle, Space Launch System, and associated ground system, to send American astronauts on deep?space missions. To accommodate increasing development costs, the Budget cancels the multi?billion-dollar Asteroid Redirect Mission. NASA will investigate approaches for reducing the costs of exploration missions to enable a more expansive exploration program. 0 Provides $1.8 billion for a focused, balanced Earth science portfolio that supports the priorities of the science and applications communities, a savings of $102 million from the 2017 annualized CR level. The Budget terminates four Earth science missions (PACE, OCO-S, DSCOVR 43 OMB-American Oversight-002191 and OMB-17-O119-B-002035 44 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Earth?Viewing instruments, and CLARREO Path?nder) and reduces funding for Earth science research grants. Eliminates the $115 million Of?ce of Education, resulting in a more focused education effort through Science IVIission Directorate. The Of?ce of Education has experienced signi?cant challenges in implementing a education strategy and is performing functions that are duplicative of other parts of the agency Restructures a duplicative robotic satellite refueling demonstration mission to reduce its cost and better position it to support a nascent commercial satellite servicing industry, resulting in a savings of $88 million from the 201?? annualized CR level. Strengthens cybersecurity capabilities, safeguarding critical systems and data. OM B-American Oversight?002192 and OMB-17-O119-B-002036 SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Small Business Administration (SBA) ensures that small businesses have the tools and resources needed to start and develop their operations, drive US. competitiveness, and help grov.r the economy. The President is committed to assisting small businesses succeed through reducing the regulatory and tax burdens that can impede the development of small ?rms. The Budget increases ef?ciency through responsible reductions to redundant programs and by eliminating programs that deliver services better provided by the private sector. The President?s 2018 Budget requests $826.5 million for SBA, a $43.2 million or 5.0 percent decrease from the 2017 annualized CR level. The President?s 2018 Budget: Supports more than $45 billion in loan guarantees to assist America?s small business owners with access to affordable capital to start or expand their businesses. Strengthens outreach center programs by reducing duplicative services, coordinating best practices, and investing in communities that would bene?t from business center support. As a result, SBA would be better positioned to strengthen local partnerships and more ef?? ciently serve program participants While achieving savings over the 2017 annualized CR. level- Supports over $1 billion in disaster relief lending to businesses, homeowners, renters, and prop? erty owners to help American communities recover quickly in the wake of declared disasters. Through the disaster loan program, SBA is able to provide affordable, accessible, and immedi? ate direct assistance to those hardest hit when disaster strikes. Achieves $12 million in cost savings from the 2017 annualized CR level through identifying and eliminating those SBA grant programs Where the private sector provides effective mechanisms to foster local business development and investment. Eliminations include PRIME technical assistance grants, Regional Innovation Clusters, and Growth Accelerators. Provides training and support services for transitioning service members and veterans to pro~ mote entrepreneurship and business ownership. These programs help to ful?ll the President?s commitment to support the Nation?s veterans by providing business counseling, lending, and contracting assistance. l\/Iaintains $28 million in inicroloan ?nancing and technical assistance to help serve, strength- en, and sustain the smallest of small businesses and startups.

Jeff JEFF FREELAND Legislative Affairs Office of Management and Budget Mobile (202) 881?7495 OMB-American Oversight?002229 and OMB-17-O119-B-002073 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON March 16, 2017 Dear Mr. Speaker: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed appropriations request for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. The request includes an additional $30 billion for the Department of Defense (DOD) to rebuild the U.s. Armed Forces and accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and an additional $3 billion for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for urgent border protection activities. This appropriations request would provide $24.9 billion in the DOD base budget for urgent warfighting readiness needs and to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. It represents a critical first step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable military force. The request also includes $5.1 billion in the Overseas Contingency Operations budget for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support Operation Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan. This request would enable DOD to pursue a comprehensive strategy to end the threat ISIS poses to the United States. In addition, this appropriations request would provide an additional $3 billion for DHS implementation of my executive orders on border security and immigration enforcement. The request would fund efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border, and make other critical investments in tactical border infrastructure and technology. The request also proposes funding to increase immigration detention capacity, which is necessary to ensure the removal of illegal aliens from the United States. Finally, the request funds new recruiting capacity at DES so that it may hire additional immigration law enforcement officers and agents. OMB-American Oversight?002230 and OMB-17-O119-B-002074 2 In conjunction with this request, I recommend that the Congress enact non~defense discretionary reductions of $18 billion in FY 2017, which would fully offset the amounts proposed for DHS and would offset half of the amounts proposed for DOD. The details of this proposal are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Sincerely, The Honorable Paul D. Ryan Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 OM B-American Oversight?002231 and OMB-17-O119-B-002075 Estimate No. 1 115th Congress. Session EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, DC. 20503 . . pr?? Misty} THE DIRECTOR March 14, 2017 The President The White House Dear Mr. President: Submitted for your consideration is a request for additional appropriations to address the urgent needs of the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Homeland Security (DHS) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017. An additional $24.9 billion is included to address immediate war?ghting readiness needs at DOD. An additional $5.1 billion, to be designated for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), is included for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and continue support for Operation Freedom?s Sentinel (OPS) in Afghanistan. An additional $3 billion is requested for DHS to address urgent border protection activities. This request for additional appropriations re?ects the Administration's commitment to strengthen our national security by rebuilding the US. Armed Forces and protecting our borders. As the following chart illustrates, together with a recommended reduction of $1 8 billion in non?defense discretionary amounts in FY 2017, total funding would increase by $15 billion. (FY 2017. amounts in billions} Current Law Request Change Defense Base $551 $576 +$25 Defense 0C0 $65 $70 Nondefense $519 $504 -$15 DHS request Recommended Reductions 18 Total Change +$15 The additional amounts requested for the DOD base budget would provide funding for urgent war?ghting readiness needs that are necessary to begin a sustained effort to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces. The appropriations request seeks to address critical budget shortfalls in personnel, training, maintenance, equipment, munitions, modernization, and infrastructure investment. The request is a ?rst step in investing in a larger, more ready, and more capable force. The amounts requested for DOD to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support OFS in Afghanistan are designated as OCO pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(ii) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency De?cit Control Act of 1985, as amended. This request would enable DOD to support a comprehensive, whole?of?Government strategy to stop ISIS from posing a threat to the United States by funding critical efforts to strike ISIS targets, support our partners ?ghting on the ground, disrupt external operations, and cut off its flows of ?nancing. The OM B-American Oversight-002232 and OMB-17-O119-B-002076 request also supports ongoing U.S. efforts through OFS to prevent threats to the US. homeland, our allies, and interests abroad from ISIS, al Qaeda, and their af?liated or associated groups. These investments also complement additional US. support for the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces requested on November 10, 2016. The amounts requested for DHS support implementation of your Executive Orders on border security and immigration enforcement. Funds requested for US. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would support high priority tactical infrastructure and border security technology investments, including efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border. The request also includes funding for DHS components to begin building the administrative capacity necessary to recruit, hire, train, and equip an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents and 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and agents, as you directed. Further, the request proposes funding to increase daily immigration detention capacity to 45,700 detention beds by the end of FY 2017. This additional detention capacity is necessary to implement your policies for removing illegal aliens from the United States by enhancing interior enforcement efforts and ending "catch and release" for those apprehended at the border. Funding proposed for DI IS would also be used to establish a real~time border and immigration data integration system within the Of?ce of Immigration Statistics, and for other new border and immigration analyses. The enclosed materials summarize the proposed amendments to the FY 2017 Budget and requested supplemental appropriations, as well as new legal authorities that the Administration requires to implement these programs.

Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2017 13:24:22 -0400 (6) You may have seen Sen. McCaskill claim yesterday that the wall will cost $678. Here are some internal points for you. Assertion: ?officials indicated that the Administration budget blueprint for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 will request approximately $2.6 billion to construct fewer than 75 miles of new border wall. This results in an average cost of $36.6 million per mile.? Response: The FY18 budget details are still being finalized but CBP told HSGAC staff that they cannot extrapolate $2.68 as being for the wall and that the approximately 75 miles currently estimated as new border barrier miles does not represent the totality of the things within that request. The blueprint language does not detail but the request will include new barrier, replacement barrier, roads, lighting, technology. The briefing clearly indicated that in terms of new barrier, CBP is considering/looking at approximately 47 miles in RGV and approximately 24 miles in Tucson or El Paso but that was to give the staff an idea of where this is going, not all the budget details. Blueprint: ?Secures the borders of the United States by investing $2.6 billion in high?priority tactical infrastructure and border security technology, including funding to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border" Assertion: also informed McCaskill?s committee staff that 1,827 miles of the border could contain a physical barrier? Response: This assertion is lifted very clearly out of context from the above slides and from the briefing. CBP is going through a methodical process to determine its border infrastructure needs based on the operations, terrain, vanishing point, and other factors. The verbal point that goes along with the slide is that as they assess the entire border, it is evident that every mile will not need barrier. CBP said that. Given the above, the wall will NOT cost $678.

Benefits, Border, Fight Against Opioids ?These are important priorities of Congress and the president, they re?ect a lot of hard work, and they promise to positively and meaningfully impact the lives of the men and women we represent.? WASHINGTON, DC. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-K Y) made the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the government funding bill: ?The funding bill announced last night will allow us to make critical advances to rebuild our military, strengthen our border, and continue providing relief to communities that have struggled for too long against the opioid epidemic. These are important priorities of Congress and the president, they reflect a lot of hard work, and they promise to positively and meaningfully impact the lives of the men and women we represent. The funding bill also includes another critical priority I?ve long fought for: protecting health care for thousands of retired coal miners. ?This legislation will allow us to take the initial step needed to begin rebuilding our military. It contains a down payment on defense that will support forward?deployed forces in places like the Korean Peninsula and Eastern Europe and operations against adversaries like ISIL and the Taliban as we work to secure the funds that will be necessary to improve readiness and restore munitions and ammunition. ?We know that more must be done to meet our global commitments and by providing some of the resources that will be necessary for a sustained rebuilding campaign, one we hope will earn bipartisan support we can take an important step forward. ?This legislation will allow us to substantially strengthen the border. It contains the largest increase in border?security resources in a decade, allowing us to address high-priority security needs, crack down on illegal border crossings, and strengthen the border with everything from upgraded physical infrastructure to high?tech biometric and surveillance technology. OMB-American Oversight?002285 and OMB-17-O119-B-002129 ?We know more must be done to secure the border and by finally delivering more of the resources and tools necessary to secure it ?we can take an important step forward. "This legislation will also allow us to fight back against the opioid and heroin crisis while bolstering medical innovation and treatments at the same time. It contains funding for the programs Congress authorized in the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, continued funding for the 21st Century Cures Act to attack opioid abuse, plus additional funds to combat the prescription opioid and heroin crisis that has devastated communities across the nation. We know more must be done to heal the communities that are hurting and by funding the fight against today?s epidemic along with the fight for tomorrow's medical solutions we can take an important step in the right direction. My home state of Kentucky has been hit particularly hard by this epidemic, and helping our families and communities overcome this assault remains a top priority for me. ?Now on another priority of mine, addressed in this funding bill: I am particularly proud to announce that, through this legislation, we have secured a permanent extension of health care benefits for thousands of retired coal miners and their families in states like Kentucky. Over the past few years I?ve met with numerous Kentucky miners about this important issue, and I?ve been proud to lead efforts to help these families keep their health care. Now, I'm pleased to report thatthis spending legislation incorporates language from a bill I introduced earlier this year and will enact a permanent extension of miner health care benefits. I?m proud to have secured this important provision as we put together the final package, and I will continue to fight to provide relief for coal communities going forward. ?Moreover, this funding bill also includes additional assistance for troubled coal?mining communities and dislocated coal workers, and it promotes an ?alI-of-the-above' energy policy that prioritizes coal, natural gas, and nuclear research. ?It?s disappointing that our Democratic colleagues blocked last year's efforts to move individual appropriations bills under regular order, but I am pleased that they have now agreed to a solution that will advance many of the priorities of the American people, Congress, and the president. The funding legislation announced last night, which incorporates the 11 regular appropriations bills remaining from last year, is the product of a great deal of work in committee last year and subsequent bipartisan, bicameral discussions this year. want to thank all those who?ve put in long hours and continued negotiating in good faith so that we could arrive at this strong agreement. In particular, I want to recognize Chairman Cochran, the leadership of the Senate and House Appropriations committees, and their staffs. They worked to ensure the process was bipartisan and bicameral every step of the way. Because of their efforts, we now have an agreement that both sides should support. ?Before we take up the bill later this week, I encourage all Senators to review the full text, which includes more information on the priorities just mentioned. Then, let?s keep working together to pass it."

Senate Appropriations Committee chairman Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) today pressed for passage of a hard?fought agreement to provide funding for national defense and domestic needs. The ?scal year 2017 omnibus appropriations legislation is a package of 11 regular appropriations bills for FY2017, as well as funding in response to the Trump administration?s request for additional appropriations for national defense and border security. Funding is also included for disaster and famine OM B-American Oversight-002304 and OMB-17-O119-B-002148 relief, and to permanently extend health care bene?ts for certain miners. Congress has until May 5 to pass the measure. ?This legislation provides necessary resources for our national security and to meet other priorities for the American people. The bill is the product of bipartisan negotiations within Congress and with the new administration. It merits our support,? Cochran said. The legislation dedicates signi?cant resources toward needed procurement, operations and maintenance funding for the Department of Defense, including increased Overseas Contingency Operations funding to support U.S. missions overseas. It supports President Trump?s request for additional appropriations to accelerate the campaign to defeat ISIS and support ongoing operations in Afghanistan. The measure also makes the largest investment in border security in almost a decade, including funding sought by the President for immigration enforcement and for additional technology, infrastructure, and enhanced support for personnel to secure the Southwest border. Programs to foster economic development and job security receive funding in the bill, as do initiatives to support American veterans and combat the opioid crisis. The measure also provides for implementation of education reforms focused on shifting more responsibility, control and accountability to states and local school districts. Additionally, the measure makes resources available for ?ood and hurricane relief. It also permanently extends health care benefits to certain retired miners and their families under the United Mine Workers Association 1993 Benefit Plan, otherwise scheduled to expire May 5. The agreement would also reallocate funding for the health care system in Puerto Rico. Throughout the omnibus measure, funding for more than 150 programs or initiatives has been terminated, rescinded or consolidated. The bill and accompanying statement include provisions to restrict bureaucratic excess and reduce waste, fraud and abuse.

Benefits, Border Security, Fight Against Opioids ?These are important priorities of Congress and the president, they reflect a lot of hard work, and they promise to positively and meaningfully impact the lives of the men and women we represent.? WASHINGTON, D.C. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the government funding bill: ?The funding bill announced last night will allow us to make critical advances to rebuild our military, strengthen our border, and continue providing relief to communities that have struggled fortoo long against the opioid epidemic. These are important priorities ofCongress and the president, they re?ect a lot of hard work, and they promise to positively and meaningfully impact the lives ofthe men and women we represent. The funding bill also includes another critical priority I?ve long fought for: protecting health care forthousands of retired coal miners. ?This legislation will allow us to take the initial step needed to begin rebuilding our military. It contains a down payment on defense that will support forward-deployed forces in places like the Korean Peninsula and Eastern Europe and operations against adversaries like and the Taliban as we work to secure the funds that will be necessary to improve readiness and restore munitions and ammunition. ?We know that more must be done to meet our global commitments and by providing some of the resources that will be necessary for a sustained rebuilding campaign, one we hope will earn bipartisan support we can take an important step forward. ?This legislation will allow us to substantially strengthen the border. It contains the largest increase in border-security resources in a decade, allowing us to address high-priority security needs, crack down on illegal border crossings, and strengthen the border with everything from upgraded physical infrastructure to high-tech biometric and surveillance technology. ?We know more must be done to secure the border and by finally delivering more ofthe resources and tools necessary to secure it ?we can take an important step fonNard. ?This legislation will also allow us to ?ght back against the opioid and heroin crisis while bolstering medical innovation and treatments at the same time. It contains funding forthe programs Congress authorized in the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act, continued funding forthe 21st Century Cures Act to attack opioid abuse, plus additional funds to combat the prescription opioid and heroin crisis that has devastated communities across the nation. We know more must be done to heal the communities that are hurting and by funding the fight OMB-American Oversight?002308 and OMB-17-O119-B-002152 against today?s epidemic along with the fight for tomorrow?s medical solutions we can take an important step in the right direction. My home state of Kentucky has been hit particularly hard by this epidemic, and helping our families and communities overcome this assault remains a top priority for me. ?Now on another priority of mine, addressed in this funding bill: I am particularly proud to announce that, through this legislation, we have secured a permanent extension of health care bene?ts for thousands of retired coal miners and their families in states like Kentucky. Overthe past few years I?ve met with numerous Kentucky miners about this important issue, and I?ve been proud to lead efforts to help these families keep their health care. Now, I?m pleased to report that this spending legislation incorporates language from a bill I introduced earlierthis year and will enact a permanent extension of miner health care benefits. I?m proud to have secured this important provision as we put togetherthe final package, and I will continue to fight to provide relief for coal communities going forward. ?Moreover, this funding bill also includes additional assistance fortroubled coal-mining communities and dislocated coal workers, and it promotes an ?all-of?the-above? energy policy that prioritizes coal, natural gas, and nuclear research. ?It?s disappointing that our Democratic colleagues blocked last year?s efforts to move individual appropriations bills under regular order, but I am pleased that they have now agreed to a solution that will advance many of the priorities ofthe American people, Congress, and the president. The funding legislation announced last night, which incorporates the 11 regular appropriations bills remaining from last year, is the product ofa great deal of work in committee last year and subsequent bipartisan, bicameral discussions this year. want to thank all those who?ve put in long hours and continued negotiating in good faith so that we could arrive at this strong agreement. In particular, I want to recognize Chairman Cochran, the leadership ofthe Senate and House Appropriations committees, and their staffs. They worked to ensure the process was bipartisan and bicameral every step ofthe way. Because oftheir efforts, we now have an agreement that both sides should support. ?Before we take up the bill laterthis week, I encourage all Senators to review the full text, which includes more information on the priorities ljust mentioned.

Republicans in Congress couldn?t agree more. That?s why this week, Congress will vote forthe biggest increase in border security funding in a long time. Here?s what that means: 1. More boots on the ground. Customs and Border Protection will see $12.2 billion in funding?$911 million above last fiscal year?which means more agents, enhanced technology, and better tools to stem the flow of illegal activities across our border, as President Trump requested in his own budget amendment. 2. The end of ?catch and release.? V\?th funding for tens of thousands of detention beds, electronic monitoring, and GPS tracking?not to mention the hiring of additional officers in the field?Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will have the resources they need to get the job done. 3. Stronger investigations. From cybercrime and drug smuggling to human traf?cking and child exploitation, ICE will receive an additional $92 million towards their important investigative work. Earlier this year, Speaker Ryan learned firsthand about the challenges our law enforcement professionals face along our southern border, and together with the Trump administration, Congress will provide them the tools they need to secure the border and keep Americans safe.

Health Care Benefits Kentucky UMWA Official: ?This is a tremendous victory, and Sen. McConnell played a decisive role in making sure it happened" WASHINGTON, DC. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced today he OMB-American Oversight?002355 and OMB-17-O119-B-002199 secured a permanent extension of health care benefits for thousands of retired coal miners and their families. Senator McConnell, who met with Kentucky miners on a number of occasions to discuss the issue, secured the measure which is taken from his own HELP for Coal Miners Health Care Act in the FY 2017 omnibus appropriations bill. The Senate and the House are expected to vote on the bill this week. ?The provision secured in this legislation will protect and permanently extend health care benefits for thousands of retired coal miners and their families,? said Senator McConnell. recognize that the extension of health benefits for this group of retirees will not address all of the challenges facing every Kentucky miner or retiree, but I am proud that it will help address many of the health care needs of thousands of miners who fell victim to the steep downturn in coal production.? "22,600 retired miners, dependents and widows including more than 3,000 in Kentucky can now live their lives without the anxiety of having their health care benefits cutoff next week, next year, or at any time in the future. This is a tremendous victory, and Sen. McConnell played a decisive role in making sure it happened. Our sincere thanks go to him and all those in Congress who worked for this day to come," said Steve Earle, International District Vice President, United Miner Workers Association (UMWA) District 12, from Madisonville, Kentucky.

Congress has stepped in twice before in 1992 and in 2006, with Senator McConnell?s support to assist retired miners in securing their health benefits. When thousands more were at risk of losing their benefits at the end of 2016. Senator McConnell led Congress? efforts to intervene again. Though he preferred a long-term solution at that time, he was able to secure a four-month extension of health benefits for certain orphaned retired miners and their dependents. Over the past eight years, the coal industry and the communities it supports have struggled, in large part, due to overregulation by the Obama Administration. Among other factors, excessive regulation has made coal more expensive and has put it at an unfair disadvantage in the marketplace. In the years since OM B-American Oversight-002356 and OMB-17-O119-B-002200 President Obama took office, well over 10,000 coal miners in Kentucky have lost theirjobs and more than 25 coal mining companies nationwide have filed for bankruptcy. This has led to fewer active workers available to pay into an expanding retirement pool, leaving health benefits in jeopardy for thousands of miner retirees. In January, Senator McConnell sent a letter to then President-elect Trump highlighting opportunities to work together to help coal country, including seeking a permanent fix to expiring health benefits for thousands of coal miner retirees. ?As your Senator representing Kentucky, I?ve been fighting on behalf of our miners, and I look fonrvard to continuing to work with the Trump administration to help provide much?needed relief to coal communities,?

Our armed forces have been hollowed out in recent years by budget cuts. 21 billion dollars in defense spending in this bill. There's also a down payment on border security. I think the American people are encouraged to hear that since our inauguration, illegal border crossings are down 60 plus percent in this country. And in this bill there's a down payment on additional border security. I'm also pleased to see as the President was insistent on that we're providing support for health benefits for coal miners and here in the District of Columbia we're continuing an educational choice program for disadvantaged children that began back in the days when I was in the Congress. 80 this is a budget deal that's a bipartisan win for the American people and the President signed off on the parameters early yesterday.?

This allows for this funding more than $11 billion to be reallocated from lower?priority programs toward higher?priority programs and projects. Across subcommittees, these rescissions total: Agriculture: 14 rescissions for $854 million Commerce, Justice, Science: 13 rescissions for $1.142 billion Defense: 75 rescissions for $4.755 billion Energy and Water Development: 30 rescissions for $435 million Financial Services and General Government: 4 rescissions for $1.210 billion Homeland Security: 25 rescissions for $1.483 billion Interior and Environment: 10 rescissions for $143 million Labor, Health and Human Services: 2 rescissions for $1.385 billion Legislative Branch: 1 rescission for $1 million Military Construction - VA: 1 rescission for $12.3 million State, Foreign Operations: 1 rescission for $6 million Transportation, Housing and Urban Development: 2 rescissions for $861,000 00000 0000000 Some of these savings are found from simply ?cleaning up the books? locating excess balances, carryover funds, and unobligated spending. This funding is reinvested in higher?priority programs within the budget caps. Others are cuts, consolidations, and terminations from wasteful and inefficient programs. Examples include: Terminates the Department of Defense JLENS air defense aerostat program, which was the runaway radar blimp Terminates the unauthorized Assets for Independence program, which started as a Health and Human Services demonstration project 20 years ago 0 Terminates the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Program within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which ran a $40 million annual cost OMB-American Oversight?002377 and OMB-17-O119-B-002221 Terminates proposed Nuclear Regulatory Commission rules and consolidates agency functions to save $24 million in FY2017 Consolidates six different Department of Education programs into a single fund geared toward supporting state and local school districts, pursuant to Evcry Student Act 0 Consolidates ?ve different Department of Justice drug court and grant programs into the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) Opioid Initiative to streamline and reduce bureaucratic costs 0 Consolidates the Department of Defense?s Iraq Train and Equip Fund and Syria Train and Equip Fund, and transfers that funding to the Counter?ISIL Train and Equip Fund 0 These consolidations, terminations, and rescissions would not be possible under a continuing resolution, and will only go into effect with passage of appropriations legislation.

"They wanted a shut down." Mulvaney pointed to the $21 billion in increased funding for the Pentagon and $1.52 billion in additional border security funds as evidence that Republicans contrary to Democrats' claims had not walked away from the deal with nothing. "What happened is the American people won, and the president negotiated that victory for them," Mulvaney said. He accused Democrats of attempting to obscure the details of the spending bill for political reasons. "They know the truth of what's in the bill," Mulvaney said. "They know the deal the president cut, and l'm sure some of them are scared to death of what's in this bill." The Of?ce of Management and Budget director noted that GOP lawmakers had not given up 011 their push to defund Planned Parenthood, despite the fact that the spending legislation includes funding for the abortion provider. "We have a complete defunding of Flamed Parenthood as part of the healthcare bill," Mulvaney said. "Let there be no mistake about this administration's commitment to the pro?life movement. Mulvaney also noted that the bill did not prevent President Trump from withholding cost-sharing reduction payments from insurance providers at some point in the future, Those payments are necessary to keep insurance providers from fleeing the Obamacare markets, but have proven controversial in the past because the Obama administration decided to provide the payments without consulting Congress. "Nothing in this bill obligates us to make any Obamacare CSR payments at any point in this process," Mulvaney said. ?We are not making any commitments in this bill. Republican critics of the spending deal have questioned why the administration seemingly conceded so many of its priorities including appropriations specifically for the border wall in order to strike a deal seen as slanted toward Democrats. article/ 262 1 864 Sent from my iPhone OMB-American Oversight?002379 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-002223 Re: The Hill: McConnell touts 'conservative wins' in funding From: "Swonger, Amy H.

"This legislation will promote a number of American and conservative priorities. It will help strengthen the border with the largest border security funding increase in a decade. It will help strengthen the military. It will help streamline the federal bureaucracy," McConnell said from the Senate ?oor. He added that the legislation includes "many other conservative wins" including freezing funding levels for the IRS at last year's levels - a provision that was also highlighted by Speaker Paul Ryan comments touting the funding bill come as President Trump signaled that he thinks he could have gotten a better deal if he didn't have to negotiate with Democrats Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning that the "reason for the plan" was because Senate rules require 60 votes, including those of at least eight Democrats, to end a legislative filibuster. Trump added in a separate interview with CBS over the weekend that "in many cases, you're forced to make deals that are not the deal you 'd make. You'd make a much different kind of a deal." Democrats have claimed the deal, which funds the government through September, is a win. Sen. Patrick Leahy told reporters on Monday that Democrats were able to keep roughly 160 "poison pills" out of the bill, including ftmding for the proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall. Some conservative Republican lawmakers have also voiced concerns about the deal, hinting that leadership didn't take a firm enough stance, given the unified GOP government. "Why did we last fall do a short-term spending bill if we weren't going to actually fight for the things we told the voters we were going to fight for. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) asked during a CNN interview on Monday. But McConnell and Ryan are playing defense on the spending deal, arguing it includes items Republicans can support. OMB-American Oversight?002381 and OMB-17-O119-B-002225 McConnell added on Tuesday that he wanted to "commend" Trump and other top administration officials, including Defense Secretary James Mattis, for working with Congress to enact some national security priorities. "While this funding bill is the product of bipartisan negotiations, it delivers some important conservative wins," he said. "Senators should continue reviewing the bill text now so we can pass it without delay after we receive it from the House." OMB-American Oversight?002382 and OMB-17-O119-B-002226 RE. The Hill.

"This legislation will promote a number of American and conservative priorities. It will help strengthen the border with the largest border security funding increase in a decade. It will help strengthen the military. It will help streamline the federal bureaucracy," McConnell said from the Senate ?oor. He added that the legislation includes "many other conservative wins" including freezing funding levels for the IRS at last year's levels - a provision that was also highlighted by Speaker Paul Ryan Me Connell's comments touting the funding bill come as President Trump signaled that he thinks he could have gotten a better deal if he didn?t have to negotiate with Democrats. Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning that the "reason for the plan" was because Senate rules require 60 votes, including those of at least eight Democrats, to end a legislative filibuster. Trump added in a separate interview with CBS over the weekend that "in many cases, you're forced to make deals that are not the deal you'd make. You'd make a much different kind of a deal." Democrats have claimed the deal, which funds the government through September, is a win. VV Sen. Patrick Leahy told reporters on Monday that Democrats were able to keep roughly 160 "poison pills" out of the bill, including funding for the proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall. Some conservative Republican lawmakers have also voiced concerns about the deal, hinting that leadership didn't take a firm enough stance, given the unified GOP government. "Why did we last fall do a short-term spending bill if we weren't going to actually fight for the things we told the voters we were going to fight for?" Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) asked during a CNN interview on Monday. But McConnell and Ryan are playing defense on the spending deal, arguing it includes items Republicans can support. McConnell added on Tuesday that he wanted to "commend" Trump and other top administration officials, including Defense Secretary James Mattis, for working with Congress to enact some national security priorities. ?While this funding bill is the product of bipartisan negotiations, it delivers some important conservative wins," he said. "Senators should continue reviewing the bill text now so we can pass it without delay after we receive it from the House.

The Administration appreciates the bill?s provision of much-needed funding for our military, including approximately billion of the requested $30 billion additional in appropriations that the President submitted to the Congress in March 2017. These funds would accelerate the President?s campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, as well as support ongoing efforts to rebuild and modernize the U.S. Armed Forces. By providing these funds without a corresponding increase in lower priority non-defense funding, this bill rejects the ?parity? construct that for years has jeopardized critical increases in defense spending. In total, the bill represents a $25.7 billion increase in Department of Defense funding over ?scal year (FY) 2016 levels. The bill increases end strength by adding 24,000 active-duty forces and 12,000 selected reserve forces above the previous Administration's request for FY 2017. It also invests in both near and long-term readiness, provides direct support to our war?ghters through new and improved equipment, and increases pay for our troops. In FY 20] 8, the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to increase overall defense funding by fully eliminating defense sequestration in a ?scally responsible manner. While the Administration will continue to push for additional funding to stop human and drug traf?cking, interdict violent gangs and cartels, and support other enforcement priorities, the bill is a good ?rst step, and does make available an additional $1.5 billion for the Department of Homeland Security. Further, the total funding provided for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is $18.5 billion, an increase of$l .4 billion over FY 2016. The Administration is also concerned that the Congress did not exercise fiscal restraint, as it failed to include responsible reductions to non-defense discretionary spending to offset higher spending elsewhere. The Administration is also disappointed that this bill provides almost $300 million for Puerto Rico?s Medicaid program without underlying reforms to Puerto Rico?s struggling healthcare system, which, like so many aspects of the United States healthcare system, has been badly damaged by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Administration believes that any sustainable solution to Puerto Rico?s dire ?scal situation must include the enactment of pro-growth policies for the island. OMB-American Oversight?002404 and The Administration strongly suppons the inclusion of the District of Columbia Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Reauthorization Act, Which delivers on the President?s promise to provide school choice. The Administration also supports the various provisions in the bill that continue protections for the sanctity of life and the Second Amendment. More generally, the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to return to regular order for the FY 2018 appropriations process, and to enacting legislation that re?ects the President?s priorities to keep our Nation safe and create jobs and prosperity for American workers. If the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 were presented to the President in its current form, his advisors would recommend that he Sign the bill into law. OMB-American Oversight?002405 and OMB-17-O119-B-002249 Highlights of the Inteiligence Authorization Act far Fiscal Year 2617 The Intelligence Authorization Act for 2017 (FY17 1AA) is expected to be included as Division of H.R. 244, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017. After months of continuous negotiations, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence have reached final agreement on this crucial legislation. As with its predecessors, the ?nal 1AA authorizes appropriations for intelligence and intelligence?related activities of the U.S. government for fiscal year 2017. The FY17 IAA passed the House three times in the 114th Congress, twice by large margins on suspension (H.R. 5077 and H.R. 6393) and the third time by unanimous consent (H.R. 6480). The key differences between the ?nal version and H.R. 6480 are the deletion of two provisions (Sections 312 and 615) and modifications made to provisions related to intelligence community personnel caps (Sections 103 and 306). The final version also includes minor changes to conform with appropriations and to re?ect passage later in the ?scal year. As with its predecessors, the ?nal IAA authorizes appropriations for intelligence and intelligence?related activities of the U.S. government for fiscal year 2017. Specifically, it: - Sustains critical capabilities to ?ght terrorism and counter the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction . Enhances efforts against nation-state competitors, particularly by increasing scrutiny of Russian activities including the Kremlin?s covert in?uence efforts and its compliance with the Open Skies Treaty. 0 Requires declassification reviews of intelligence on past terrorist activities of individuals transferred out of Guantanamo Bay. . Prevents the executive branch from charging greater reproduction fees for mandatory declassification reviews than it would charge for Freedom of Information Act requests. Clarifies eligibility for death bene?ts for Central Intelligence Agency personnel. Improves Intelligence Community reporting to Congress. The terrorist threat facing America remains high, particularly from ISIS and al-Qa?ida. This bill provides urgent funds and authorities to help thwart potential attacks and deny these terrorists safe haven in Iraq, Syria, North Africa, and elsewhere. The bill also provides the means to counter significant threats from nation?state actors, especially in cyberspace, space, and undersea, and to bolster our counter? proliferation and counterintelligence capabilities. In addition to supporting the Intelligence Community?s critical mission to protect the United States, the FY17 1AA also serves as one of the most important and effective mechanisms Congress has to conduct rigorous and continuous oversight of the Intelligence Community. Ultimately, this bill ensures that the dedicated men and women of our Intelligence Community have the funding, authorities, and support they need to carry out their mission and keep us safe, while maintaining accountability and strict oversight of intelligence programs and activities.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the government funding bill: ?Yesterday, after months of committee work and bicameral negotiations, a government funding agreement that abides by the spending caps set in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 was filed in the House. This legislation will promote a number of American and conservative priorities. ?It will help strengthen the border, with the largest border-security funding increase in a decade. It will help strengthen the military, with funding for a pay raise for our troops along with a critically-needed down payment on the long-overdue task of rebuilding our military. It will help streamline the federal bureaucracy, with the elimination or consolidation of more than 150 government programs and initiatives. OMB-American Oversight?002411 and OMB-17-O119-B-002255 ?It contains many other conservative wins too, like freezing funding for the IRS, cutting funding forthe EPA, prohibiting funding for President Obama?s climate slush fund, and prohibiting a taxpayer bailout of Obamacare?s Risk Corridors. lt maintains the Hyde Amendment, will help veterans, and will fund implementation ofthe law that shifts control of education back to parents, states, and local school districts. ?Additionally, this legislation will provide more of the resources we need to help communities across our country that continue to suffer from the opioid epidemic. It also permanently extends health care forthousands of retired coal miners from states like Kentucky something I?ve fought for for a long time now, and something I was proud to secure in this bill as we put togetherthe ?nal package. ?Each ofthese measures is included in the funding bill we?ll take up laterthis week. I want to commend President Trump and his team, including Director Mulvaney, Secretary Mattis, and Secretary Kelly for quickly identifying national security priorities and working with the Republican Congress to enact some ofthem. Secretary Mattis has made clearthat rebuilding our military and restoring combat readiness fortoday and tomorrow will require a multi-year bipartisan commitment to meet the needs of the force. The additional contingency operations funding provided in this legislation represents an important first step toward meeting that goal. ?While this funding bill is the product of bipartisan negotiations, it delivers some important conservative wins, including critical steps fonNard on defense and border-security.

The Administration appreciates the bill?s provision of much-needed funding for our military, including approximately billion of the requested $30 billion additional in appropriations that the President submitted to the Congress in March 2017. These funds would accelerate the President?s campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, as well as support ongoing efforts to rebuild and modernize the U.S. Armed Forces. By providing these funds without a corresponding increase in lower priority non-defense funding, this bill rejects the ?parity? construct that for years has jeopardized critical increases in defense spending. In total, the bill represents a $25.7 billion increase in Department of Defense funding over ?scal year (FY) 2016 levels. The bill increases end strength by adding 24,000 active-duty forces and 12,000 selected reserve forces above the previous Administration's request for FY 2017. It also invests in both near and long-term readiness, provides direct support to our war?ghters through new and improved equipment, and increases pay for our troops. In FY 20] 8, the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to increase overall defense funding by fully eliminating defense sequestration in a ?scally responsible manner. While the Administration will continue to push for additional funding to stop human and drug traf?cking, interdict violent gangs and cartels, and support other enforcement priorities, the bill is a good ?rst step, and does make available an additional $1.5 billion for the Department of Homeland Security. Further, the total funding provided for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is $18.5 billion, an increase of$l .4 billion over FY 2016. The Administration is also concerned that the Congress did not exercise fiscal restraint, as it failed to include responsible reductions to non-defense discretionary spending to offset higher spending elsewhere. The Administration is also disappointed that this bill provides almost $300 million for Puerto Rico?s Medicaid program without underlying reforms to Puerto Rico?s struggling healthcare system, which, like so many aspects of the United States healthcare system, has been badly damaged by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Administration believes that any sustainable solution to Puerto Rico?s dire ?scal situation must include the enactment of pro-growth policies for the island. OMB-American Oversight?002415 and The Administration strongly suppons the inclusion of the District of Columbia Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Reauthorization Act, Which delivers on the President?s promise to provide school choice. The Administration also supports the various provisions in the bill that continue protections for the sanctity of life and the Second Amendment. More generally, the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to return to regular order for the FY 2018 appropriations process, and to enacting legislation that re?ects the President?s priorities to keep our Nation safe and create jobs and prosperity for American workers. If the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 were presented to the President in its current form, his advisors would recommend that he Sign the bill into law.

Patel Deputy Associate Director Legislative Affairs Office of Management and Budget Eis tive Of?ce Building 0: OMB-American Oversight?002436 and OMB-17-O119-B-002280 EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUQGET WASHINGTON, 3.3. 23503 May 2, 2017 (House Rules) STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY H.R. 244 Consolidated Appropriations Act. 2017 (Rep. relinghuysen, This Statement ofAdministration Policy provides views on the House amendment to Senate amendments to HR. 244, which contains the text of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 201 7. The Administration appreciates the bill?s provision of much-needed funding for our military, including approximately billion of the requested $30 billion additional in appropriations that the President submitted to the Congress in March 2017. These funds would accelerate the President?s campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, as well as support ongoing efforts to rebuild and modernize the U.S. Armed Forces. By providing these funds without a corresponding increase in lower priority non-defense funding, this bill rejects the ?parity? construct that for years has jeopardized critical increases in defense spending. In total, the bill represents a $25.7 billion increase in Department of Defense funding over ?scal year (FY) 2016 levels. The bill increases end strength by adding 24,000 active-duty forces and 12,000 selected reserve forces above the previous Administration's request for FY 2017. It also invests in both near and long-term readiness, provides direct support to our war?ghters through new and improved equipment, and increases pay for our troops. In FY 20] 8, the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to increase overall defense funding by fully eliminating defense sequestration in a ?scally responsible manner. While the Administration will continue to push for additional funding to stop human and drug traf?cking, interdict violent gangs and cartels, and support other enforcement priorities, the bill is a good ?rst step, and does make available an additional $1.5 billion for the Department of Homeland Security. Further, the total funding provided for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is $18.5 billion, an increase of$l .4 billion over FY 2016. The Administration is also concerned that the Congress did not exercise fiscal restraint, as it failed to include responsible reductions to non-defense discretionary spending to offset higher spending elsewhere. The Administration is also disappointed that this bill provides almost $300 million for Puerto Rico?s Medicaid program without underlying reforms to Puerto Rico?s struggling healthcare system, which, like so many aspects of the United States healthcare system, has been badly damaged by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Administration believes that any sustainable solution to Puerto Rico?s dire ?scal situation must include the enactment of pro-growth policies for the island. OMB-American Oversight?002437 and The Administration strongly suppons the inclusion of the District of Columbia Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Reauthorization Act, Which delivers on the President?s promise to provide school choice. The Administration also supports the various provisions in the bill that continue protections for the sanctity of life and the Second Amendment. More generally, the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to return to regular order for the FY 2018 appropriations process, and to enacting legislation that re?ects the President?s priorities to keep our Nation safe and create jobs and prosperity for American workers. If the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 were presented to the President in its current form, his advisors would recommend that he Sign the bill into law. OMB-American Oversight?002438 and OMB-17-O119-B-002282 Funding Bill Will Promotea Numberof American Priorities From: "Majority Leader McConnell Press (McConnell)" Date: Tue, 02 May 2017 10:36:38 ?0400 SENATE LEABER Lt 5 rm EEHTUBKY For Immediate Release, Tuesday, May 2, 2017 Contacts: Don Stewart, David Poppm? Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn Release: YouTube: Funding Bill Will Promote a Number of American Priorities ?Yesterday, after months of committee work and bicamera/ negotiations, a government funding agreement that abides by the spending caps set in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 was ?led in the House.? WASHINGTON, D.C. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the government funding bill: ?Yesterday, after months of committee work and bicameral negotiations, a government funding agreement that abides by the spending caps set in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 was filed in the House. This legislation will promote a number of American and conservative priorities. ?It will help strengthen the border, with the largest border-security funding increase in a decade. It will help strengthen the military, with funding for a pay raise for our troops along with a critically-needed down payment on the long-overdue task of rebuilding our military. It will help streamline the federal bureaucracy, with the elimination or consolidation of more than 150 government programs and initiatives. "It contains many other conservative wins too, like freezing funding for the IRS, cutting funding forthe EPA, prohibiting funding for President Obama?s climate slush fund, and prohibiting a taxpayer bailout of Obamacare?s Risk Corridors. It maintains the Hyde Amendment, will help veterans, and will fund implementation of the law that shifts control of education back to parents, states, and local school districts. ?Additionally, this legislation will provide more of the resources we need to help communities across our country that continue to suffer from the opioid epidemic. It also permanently extends health care for thousands of retired coal miners from states like Kentucky something I?ve fought for for a long time now, and something I was proud to secure in this bill as we put togetherthe ?nal package. "Each of these measures is included in the funding bill we?ll take up later this week. I want to commend President Trump and his team, including Director Mulvaney, Secretary Mattis, and Secretary Kelly for quickly identifying national security priorities and working with the Republican Congress to enact some ofthem. Secretary Mattis has made clearthat rebuilding our military and restoring combat readiness for today and tomorrow will require a multi-year bipartisan commitment to meet the needs of the force. The additional contingency operations funding provided in this legislation represents an important first step toward meeting that goal. OMB-American Oversight?002439 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-002283 ?While this funding bill is the product of bipartisan negotiations, it delivers some important conservative wins, including critical steps forward on defense and border-security.

The Administration appreciates the bill?s provision of much-needed funding for our military, including approximately billion of the requested $30 billion additional in appropriations that the President submitted to the Congress in March 2017. These funds would accelerate the President?s campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, as well as support ongoing efforts to rebuild and modernize the U.S. Armed Forces. By providing these funds without a corresponding increase in lower priority non-defense funding, this bill rejects the ?parity? construct that for years has jeopardized critical increases in defense spending. In total, the bill represents a $25.7 billion increase in Department of Defense funding over ?scal year (FY) 2016 levels. The bill increases end strength by adding 24,000 active-duty forces and 12,000 selected reserve forces above the previous Administration's request for FY 2017. It also invests in both near and long-term readiness, provides direct support to our war?ghters through new and improved equipment, and increases pay for our troops. In FY 20] 8, the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to increase overall defense funding by fully eliminating defense sequestration in a ?scally responsible manner. While the Administration will continue to push for additional funding to stop human and drug traf?cking, interdict violent gangs and cartels, and support other enforcement priorities, the bill is a good ?rst step, and does make available an additional $1.5 billion for the Department of Homeland Security. Further, the total funding provided for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is $18.5 billion, an increase of$l .4 billion over FY 2016. The Administration is also concerned that the Congress did not exercise fiscal restraint, as it failed to include responsible reductions to non-defense discretionary spending to offset higher spending elsewhere. The Administration is also disappointed that this bill provides almost $300 million for Puerto Rico?s Medicaid program without underlying reforms to Puerto Rico?s struggling healthcare system, which, like so many aspects of the United States healthcare system, has been badly damaged by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Administration believes that any sustainable solution to Puerto Rico?s dire ?scal situation must include the enactment of pro-growth policies for the island. OMB-American Oversight?002458 and The Administration strongly suppons the inclusion of the District of Columbia Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Reauthorization Act, Which delivers on the President?s promise to provide school choice. The Administration also supports the various provisions in the bill that continue protections for the sanctity of life and the Second Amendment. More generally, the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to return to regular order for the FY 2018 appropriations process, and to enacting legislation that re?ects the President?s priorities to keep our Nation safe and create jobs and prosperity for American workers. If the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 were presented to the President in its current form, his advisors would recommend that he Sign the bill into law. OMB-American Oversight?002459 and OMB-17-O119-B-002303 Highlights of the Inteiligence Authorization Act far Fiscal Year 2617 The Intelligence Authorization Act for 2017 (FY17 1AA) is expected to be included as Division of H.R. 244, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017. After months of continuous negotiations, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence have reached final agreement on this crucial legislation. As with its predecessors, the ?nal 1AA authorizes appropriations for intelligence and intelligence?related activities of the U.S. government for fiscal year 2017. The FY17 IAA passed the House three times in the 114th Congress, twice by large margins on suspension (H.R. 5077 and H.R. 6393) and the third time by unanimous consent (H.R. 6480). The key differences between the ?nal version and H.R. 6480 are the deletion of two provisions (Sections 312 and 615) and modifications made to provisions related to intelligence community personnel caps (Sections 103 and 306). The final version also includes minor changes to conform with appropriations and to re?ect passage later in the ?scal year. As with its predecessors, the ?nal IAA authorizes appropriations for intelligence and intelligence?related activities of the U.S. government for fiscal year 2017. Specifically, it: - Sustains critical capabilities to ?ght terrorism and counter the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction . Enhances efforts against nation-state competitors, particularly by increasing scrutiny of Russian activities including the Kremlin?s covert in?uence efforts and its compliance with the Open Skies Treaty. 0 Requires declassification reviews of intelligence on past terrorist activities of individuals transferred out of Guantanamo Bay. . Prevents the executive branch from charging greater reproduction fees for mandatory declassification reviews than it would charge for Freedom of Information Act requests. Clarifies eligibility for death bene?ts for Central Intelligence Agency personnel. Improves Intelligence Community reporting to Congress. The terrorist threat facing America remains high, particularly from ISIS and al-Qa?ida. This bill provides urgent funds and authorities to help thwart potential attacks and deny these terrorists safe haven in Iraq, Syria, North Africa, and elsewhere. The bill also provides the means to counter significant threats from nation?state actors, especially in cyberspace, space, and undersea, and to bolster our counter? proliferation and counterintelligence capabilities. In addition to supporting the Intelligence Community?s critical mission to protect the United States, the FY17 1AA also serves as one of the most important and effective mechanisms Congress has to conduct rigorous and continuous oversight of the Intelligence Community. Ultimately, this bill ensures that the dedicated men and women of our Intelligence Community have the funding, authorities, and support they need to carry out their mission and keep us safe, while maintaining accountability and strict oversight of intelligence programs and activities.

"This legislation will promote a number of American and conservative priorities. It will help strengthen the border with the largest border security funding increase in a decade. It will help strengthen the military. It will help streamline the federal bureaucracy," McConnell said from the Senate floor. He added that the legislation includes "many other conservative wins" including freezing funding levels for the IRS at last year's levels a provision that was also highlighted by Speaker Paul Ryan McConnell's comments touting the funding bill come as President Trump signaled that he thinks he could have gotten a better deal if he didn't have to negotiate with Democrats. Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning that the "reason for the plan" was because Senate rules require 60 votes, including those of at least eight Democrats, to end a legislative filibuster. Trump added in a separate interview with CBS over the weekend that in many cases, you're forced to make deals that are not the deal you'd make. You'd make a much different kind of a deal." Democrats have claimed the deal, which funds the government through September, is a win. Sen. Patrick Leahy told reporters on Monday that Democrats were able to keep roughly 160 "poison pills" out of the bill, including funding for the proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall. Some conservative Republican lawmakers have also voiced concerns about the deal, hinting that leadership didn't take a firm enough stance, given the unified GOP government. "Why did we last fall do a short-term spending bill if we weren't going to actually fight for the things we told the voters we were going to fight for?" Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) asked during a CNN interview on Monday. But McConnell and Ryan are playing defense on the spending deal, arguing it includes items Republicans can support. McConnell added on Tuesday that he wanted to "commend" Trump and other top administration officials, including Defense OMB-American Oversight?002462 and OMB-17-O119-B-002306 Secretary James Mattis, for working with Congress to enact some national security priorities. "While this funding bill is the product of bipartisan negotiations, it delivers some important conservative wins?" he said. "Senators should continue reviewing the bill text now so we can pass it without delay after we receive it from the House.

"They wanted a shut down." Mulvaney pointed to the $21 billion in increased funding for the Pentagon and $1.52 billion in additional border security funds as evidence that Republicans contrary to Democrats' claims had not walked away from the deal with nothing. "What happened is the American people won, and the president negotiated that victory for them," Mulvaney said. He accused Democrats of attempting to obscure the details of the spending bill for political reasons. "They know the truth of what's in the bill," Mulvaney said. "They know the deal the president cut, and I'm sure some of them are scared to death of what's in this bill." The Office of Management and Budget director noted that GOP lawmakers had not given up on their push to defund Planned Parenthood, despite the fact that the spending legislation includes funding for the abortion provider. "We have a complete defunding of Planned Parenthood as part of the healthcare bill," Mulvaney said. "Let there be no mistake about this administration's commitment to the pro-life movemen Mulvaney also noted that the bill did not prevent President Trump from withholding cost-sharing reduction payments from insurance providers at some point in the future. Those payments are necessary to keep insurance providers from ?eeing the Obamacare markets, but have proven controversial in the past because the Obama administration decided to provide the payments without consulting Congress. "Nothing in this bill obligates us to make any Obamacare CSR payments at any point in this process," Mulvaney said. "We are not making any commitments in this bill." Republican critics of the spending deal have questioned why the administration seemingly conceded so many of its priorities including appropriations specifically for the border wall in order to strike a deal seen as slanted toward Democrats. 1864 Sent from my iPhone OMB-American Oversight?002478 and OMB-17-O119-B-002322 FW: Statement of Administration Policy - HR. 244 Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2017 From "Slemrod, Jonathan A. administrative group jo"> To: "Kieffer, Chanes (Appropriations)" Date: Tue, 02 May 2017 15:35: 11 ?0400 Attachments: FY 2017 House 244.pdf (299.87 kB) OMB-American Oversight?002479 and OMB-17-O119-B-002323 EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUQGET WASHINGTON, 3.3. 23503 May 2, 2017 (House Rules) STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY H.R. 244 Consolidated Appropriations Act. 2017 (Rep. relinghuysen, This Statement ofAdministration Policy provides views on the House amendment to Senate amendments to HR. 244, which contains the text of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 201 7. The Administration appreciates the bill?s provision of much-needed funding for our military, including approximately billion of the requested $30 billion additional in appropriations that the President submitted to the Congress in March 2017. These funds would accelerate the President?s campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, as well as support ongoing efforts to rebuild and modernize the U.S. Armed Forces. By providing these funds without a corresponding increase in lower priority non-defense funding, this bill rejects the ?parity? construct that for years has jeopardized critical increases in defense spending. In total, the bill represents a $25.7 billion increase in Department of Defense funding over ?scal year (FY) 2016 levels. The bill increases end strength by adding 24,000 active-duty forces and 12,000 selected reserve forces above the previous Administration's request for FY 2017. It also invests in both near and long-term readiness, provides direct support to our war?ghters through new and improved equipment, and increases pay for our troops. In FY 20] 8, the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to increase overall defense funding by fully eliminating defense sequestration in a ?scally responsible manner. While the Administration will continue to push for additional funding to stop human and drug traf?cking, interdict violent gangs and cartels, and support other enforcement priorities, the bill is a good ?rst step, and does make available an additional $1.5 billion for the Department of Homeland Security. Further, the total funding provided for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement is $18.5 billion, an increase of$l .4 billion over FY 2016. The Administration is also concerned that the Congress did not exercise fiscal restraint, as it failed to include responsible reductions to non-defense discretionary spending to offset higher spending elsewhere. The Administration is also disappointed that this bill provides almost $300 million for Puerto Rico?s Medicaid program without underlying reforms to Puerto Rico?s struggling healthcare system, which, like so many aspects of the United States healthcare system, has been badly damaged by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Administration believes that any sustainable solution to Puerto Rico?s dire ?scal situation must include the enactment of pro-growth policies for the island. OMB-American Oversight?002480 and The Administration strongly suppons the inclusion of the District of Columbia Scholarships for Opportunity and Results (SOAR) Reauthorization Act, Which delivers on the President?s promise to provide school choice. The Administration also supports the various provisions in the bill that continue protections for the sanctity of life and the Second Amendment. More generally, the Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to return to regular order for the FY 2018 appropriations process, and to enacting legislation that re?ects the President?s priorities to keep our Nation safe and create jobs and prosperity for American workers. If the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 were presented to the President in its current form, his advisors would recommend that he Sign the bill into law.

Terminations, Consolidations, and Rescissions FY2017 Omnibus Appropriations Agreement The FY2017 omnibus appropriations agreement contains more than 150 rescissions of funding, totaling more than $1 1.427 billion, as well as program terminations and consolidations across the federal government. This allows for this funding more than $11 billion to be reallocated from lower?priority programs toward higher?priority programs and projects. Across subcommittees, these rescissions total: Agriculture: 14 rescissions for $854 million Commerce, Justice, Science: 13 rescissions for $1.142 billion Defense: 75 rescissions for $4.755 billion Energy and Water Development: 30 rescissions for $435 million Financial Services and General Government: 4 rescissions for $1.210 billion Homeland Security: 25 rescissions for $1.483 billion Interior and Environment: 10 rescissions for $143 million Labor, Health and Human Services: 2 rescissions for $1.385 billion Legislative Branch: 1 rescission for $1 million Military Construction - VA: 1 rescission for $12.3 million State, Foreign Operations: 1 rescission for $6 million Transportation, Housing and Urban Development: 2 rescissions for $861,000 00000 0000000 Some of these savings are found from simply ?cleaning up the books? locating excess balances, carryover funds, and unobligated spending. This funding is reinvested in higher?priority programs within the budget caps. Others are cuts, consolidations, and terminations from wasteful and inefficient programs. Examples include: Terminates the Department of Defense JLENS air defense aerostat program, which was the runaway radar blimp Terminates the unauthorized Assets for Independence program, which started as a Health and Human Services demonstration project 20 years ago 0 Terminates the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Program within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which ran a $40 million annual cost OMB-American Oversight?002489 and OMB-17-O119-B-002333 Terminates proposed Nuclear Regulatory Commission rules and consolidates agency functions to save $24 million in FY2017 Consolidates six different Department of Education programs into a single fund geared toward supporting state and local school districts, pursuant to Evcry Student Act 0 Consolidates ?ve different Department of Justice drug court and grant programs into the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) Opioid Initiative to streamline and reduce bureaucratic costs 0 Consolidates the Department of Defense?s Iraq Train and Equip Fund and Syria Train and Equip Fund, and transfers that funding to the Counter?ISIL Train and Equip Fund 0 These consolidations, terminations, and rescissions would not be possible under a continuing resolution, and will only go into effect with passage of appropriations legislation.

YouTube: http://bitly/ZngUl? Funding Bill Addresses Important Needs for Our Country ?Later today, the House will vote to pass a funding agreement that advances a number of American priorities achieving important things that would not have been possible under the previous administration.? WASHINGTON, D.C. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the government funding bill: ?Latertoday, the House will vote to pass a funding agreement that advances a number of American priorities achieving important things that would not have been possible under the previous administration. ?Take the border. President Trump and the Republican Congress made securing the border a priority and this funding bill acts on it. After years of an administration that failed to get serious on border security, this bill provides the largest border-security funding increase in a decade. Passing this bill means updating physical border infrastructure. It means enhancing surveillance technology. It means increasing support for border personnel. It means finally providing resources to end the practice of catch and release. On securing our border, this bill obviously marks a departure from the Obama years and an important step forward. ?Take defense. President Trump and the Republican Congress made rebuilding our military 3 priority and this funding bill acts on it. After years of an administration that drew down our conventional force structure and failed to address increasing threats across the globe, this bill provides a critically needed down payment on rebuilding our military. Passing this bill means allowing our force to retain higher levels of end strength. It means funding the largest military pay raise in six years. It means replacing munitions used in the fight against ISIL. It means ?nally ignoring the Obama-era demand of requiring defense-funding increases to be equally matched to non-defense increases. On rebuilding our military, this bill obviously marks a departure from the Obama years and an important step forward. ?These are notable wins, and they wouldn?t have happened without this administration's tireless work in conjunction with the Republican Congress. Of course, there?s further to go in both areas. We know more work remains when it comes to strengthening our border infrastructure and stemming the tide of illegal immigration. We know more work remains when it comes to restoring our military?s combat-readiness and meeting the full needs ofthe force. ?But this legislation represents a step in the right direction in both of these areas and it OMB-American Oversight?002492 and OMB-17-0119-B-002336 advances conservative priorities in many others. It adheres to spending caps, reforms bureaucracy, and consolidates, eliminates. or rescinds funds for more than 150 government programs and initiatives. It supports the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act, which shifts control of education out of Washington, and it extends an important school choice program. It helps tackle terrorism, ?ght crime, support veterans, protect life, reform the IRS and freeze funding for it. ?It cuts funding forthe EPA, prohibits funding for President Obama?s climate slush fund, and advances an ?all-of?the-above? energy policy that prioritizes research on technological advancements in nuclear, natural gas, and coal power generation. This research funding, along with the bill?s support for troubled coal-mining communities and dislocated miners, is important for states like mine as is the provision was proud to secure that will permanently protect health care bene?ts forthousands of retired coal miners and their families. "Th is bill also extends resources for a pilot program I worked with Congressman Hal Rogers to secure, which will fund the reclamation and development of abandoned mine sites. Moreover, this bill also provides signi?cant new resources to tackle the prescription opioid and heroin epidemic that continues to ravage communities in Kentucky and across the country. ?The many achievements in this bill resulted from countless hours of committee work and bicameral negotiations. I want to again recognize the appropriators, our Members, and this Republican administration forthe tireless efforts that made this bill possible. The president and his team should be commended for their efforts in working with the Republican Congress to address many important needs for our country in this bill. look forward to the House passing the bill today so that we can take it up and send it to President Trump for his signature soon."

OMB-American Oversight?002502 OMB-17-O112-B and OMB-17-O119-B-002346 Funding Bill Addresses Important Needs for Our Country ?Later today, the House will vote to pass a funding agreement that advances a number of American priorities achieving important things that would not have been possible under the previous administration.? WASHINGTON, D.C. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the government funding bill: ?Later today, the House will vote to pass a funding agreement that advances a number of American priorities achieving important things that would not have been possible under the previous administration. ?Take the border. President Trump and the Republican Congress made securing the border a priority and this funding bill acts on it. After years of an administration that failed to get serious on border security, this bill provides the largest border-security funding increase in a decade. Passing this bill means updating physical border infrastructure. It means enhancing surveillance technology. It means increasing support for border personnel. It means finally providing resources to end the practice of catch and release. On securing our border, this bill obviously marks a departure from the Obama years and an important step forward. ?Take defense. President Trump and the Republican Congress made rebuilding our military a priority and this funding bill acts on it. After years of an administration that drew down our conventional force structure and failed to address increasing threats across the globe, this bill provides a critically needed down payment on rebuilding our military. Passing this bill means allowing ourforce to retain higher levels of end strength. It means funding the largest military pay raise in six years. It means replacing munitions used in the fight against ISIL. It means finally ignoring the Obama-era demand of requiring defense-funding increases to be equally matched to non-defense increases. On rebuilding our military, this bill obviously marks a departure from the Obama years and an important step fon/vard. ?These are notable wins, and they wouldn?t have happened without this administration?s tireless work in conjunction with the Republican Congress. Of course, there?s further to go in both areas. We know more work remains when it comes to strengthening our border infrastructure and stemming the tide of illegal immigration. We know more work remains when it comes to restoring our military?s combat-readiness and meeting the full needs of the force. ?But this legislation represents a step in the right direction in both of these areas and it advances conservative priorities in many others. It adheres to spending caps, reforms bureaucracy, and consolidates, eliminates, or rescinds funds for more than 150 government programs and initiatives. It supports the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act, which shifts control of education out of Washington, and it extends an important school choice program. It helps tackle terrorism, ?ght crime, support veterans, protect life, reform the IRS and freeze funding for it. ?It cuts funding for the EPA, prohibits funding for President Obama?s climate slush fund, and advances an ?all-of?the-above? energy policy that prioritizes research on technological advancements in nuclear, natural gas, and coal power generation. This research funding, along with the bill?s support for troubled coal-mining communities and dislocated miners, is important for states like mine as is the provision was proud to secure that will permanently protect health care benefits for thousands of retired coal miners and their families. ?This bill also extends resources for a pilot program I worked with Congressman Hal Rogers to secure, which will fund the reclamation and development of abandoned mine sites. Moreover, this bill also provides signi?cant new resources to tackle the prescription opioid and heroin epidemic that continues to ravage communities in Kentucky and across the country. ?The many achievements in this bill resulted from countless hours of committee work and bicameral negotiations. I want to again recognize the appropriators, our Members, and this Republican administration forthe tireless efforts that made this bill possible. The president and his team should be commended fortheir efforts in working with the Republican Congress to address many important needs for our country in this bill. look forward to the House passing the bill today so that we can take it up and send it to OMB-American Oversight?002503 and OMB-17-O119-B-002347 President Trump for his signature soon.? . LEAQER ?3 S?mm?f? For Immediate Release, Wednesda Ma 3 2017 Contacts: Don Stewart, David Popp Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn Release: http://bitly/ZoXDer YouTube: CC Senate Will Vote to Protect American Retirement Account Decisions ?By blocking this state-run retirement plan regulation like we already did with a similar regulation aimed at municipalities we can empower families in making their own decisions when it comes to saving for the future.? WASHINGTON, D.C. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-K Y) made the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding action through the Congressional Review Act to undo an Obama-era retirement regulation: ?In recent months, the Republican Congress has voted to provide much-needed relief to the American people from Obama Administration regulations pushed out the door at the 11th hour. We?ve voted to eliminate 1 3 harmful regulations already, using the tools contained in the Congressional Review Act, and we?ll vote to eliminate another latertoday. ?Too often, the Obama Administration pursued regulations that grew government at the expense ofjobs, wages, and economic growth. Too often, underthe guise of helping ordinary Americans, the administration was really just helping to expand the reach of government. That is certainly the case with the regulation we are considering today. President Obama?s Department of Labor issued regulations that would impose new burdens on employers and employees when it comes to saving for retirement. ?These regulations would give state of?cials the power to force employers to enroll their employees into government-run savings plans. Though these state-run plans might not seem too bad on the surface, what they really add up to is more government at the expense ofthe private sector and American workers. They would provide government-run retirement plans with a competitive advantage over private sector workplace plans, while providing fewer basic consumer protections to the workers who would be forced to contribute to them. ?As I mentioned when we voted on a related regulation concerning municipalities, states always had the power to set up these plans but until this regulation, they had to actually follow federal laws that protect the workers who would be automatically enrolled. In other words, states preferred that the basic retirement protections that apply to those who manage private sector retirement plans not apply to the government too. ?As a coalition of employers and human resource managers recently pointed out, the Obama Administration was ?encouraging state governments to provide private sector employees retirement programs that do not have the same hig h-Ievel protections as other private employer- sponsored plans.? So, as they put it, ?passage of [the legislation before the Senate] would ensure that all retirement plans for private sector workers are subject to equal consumer protections under the law.? OMB-American Oversight?002504 and OMB-17-O119-B-002348 ?That?s why we?ll vote today to overturn this regulation, which undermines a private retirement savings-system that millions of Americans have counted on for decades. By blocking this state- run retirement plan regulation like we already did with a similar regulation aimed at municipalities we can empower families in making their own decisions when it comes to saving forthe future. want to recognize Senator Hatch, the Finance Committee Chairman, who's been leading the charge on this important issue. I look forward to sending the bill to the president?s desk soon.? Seam.

Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Thad Cochran (R?Miss.) today addressed the Senate to encourage passage of the omnibus appropriations agreement to fund the government for the remainder of the 2017 ?scal year. Cochran was instrumental in writing the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017 (HR.244), which is legislation to complete the 11 remaining appropriations bills. The Senate passed the measure on 79?18 vote. The bill now goes to President Trump, who has indicated he will sign it into law. OM B-American Oversight-002521 and OMB-17-O119-B-002365 In his remarks, Cochran noted the importance of the measure to strengthening national security, border security, and other priorities such as funding to combat the opioid crisis and to boost medical research. He also called attention to the funding rescissions, program terminations or program consolidations across the federal government, which totaled more than $11.427 billion. ?While the additional funds for defense and border security have received much of the attention, there are many other important programs funded within the appropriations bills that comprise this legislation,? Cochran said. ?Throughout the bill, spending controls are placed on Federal agencies. There are more than 150 rescissions, consolidations or program terminations within this bill. These savings have been reallocated to higher priorities.? The House on Wednesday passed the legislation, 309-] 18. Cochran?s remarks, as prepared for delivery, follow: The Senate will consider this afternoon the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 201 7. The bill will ?nd the federal government for the remainder of this ?scal Year. I urge the Senate to approve the bill. It provides our Armed Forces with the money they need to safeguard our homeland and protect our interests around the world The funding levels are within the limits of the Budget Control Act. In total, the bill would increase Department of?Def'ense spending by $23. 6 billion over President Obama ?s Fiscal Year 201 7 request. These funds are badly needed to improve the readiness of our Armed Forces, and to continue our campaign to defeat lSlL. This bill includes the largest investment in border security in nearly a decade. Additional funding is provided for fencing and other physical infrastructure communications and surveillance technology; the hiring of additional agents; and additional detention beds to help stop the practice of ?catch and release. These funds will help reduce human traf?cking and the ?ow of illegal drugs into our country. While the additional funds for defense and border security have received much of the attention, there are many other important programs funded ithin the appropriations bills that comprise this legislation. For the second year in a row, funding for research at the National Institutes of Health is increased by $2 billion. New ?mding is included to combat the opioid epidemic that has plagued communities across the country. The FBI receives additional funding to protect against terrorist threats and combat illegal cyberactiviiy. OMB-American Oversight?002522 and OMB-17-O119-B-002366 Throughout the bill, spending controls are placed on Federal agencies. There are more than 150 rescissions, consolidations or program terminations within this bill. These savings have been reallocated to higher priorities. The basis of this legislation are the 12 appropriations bills that were reported ?om the Appropriations Committee. This is the second year in a row that the Committee has reported all 12 bills. This bill re?ects a year ?s worth of concerted e?ort by the chairmen and ranking members of our 12 subcommittees. also re?ects a great deal of hard work by the Committee sta?f for which I am deeply grateful.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the government funding bill: ?The Senate will soon vote on the government-funding bill the House passed yesterday, and with it, critical resources to address a number of issues facing our country. As I?ve noted over the course ofthis week, the bill includes a number of provisions that are important to our country and today I?d like to take a closer look at the positive impact they can make in the lives of the men and women we represent. ?Our country is suffering from a terrible epidemic. Heroin and prescription opioid abuse is destroying families and communities across the nation. On average, overdoses from these drugs claim 91 lives every day. Drug addiction can even devastate the lives of babies before they are born. "States like mine have been hit particularly hard by this epidemic. I?ve heard countless stories from Kentuckians who've experienced the heartbreak of addiction firsthand. Here's one story that a grandmother from Independence, Kentucky shared with my of?ce. granddaughter is growing up without a father due to this evil drug,? she wrote. ?Our children are the future of this OMB-American Oversight?002525 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-002369 country and deserve all the help and support we can give them.? Unfortunately, her story is similar to thousands more across the country. Grandparents and other family members are increasingly taking care of children when parents fall into addiction. ?As too many families have experienced, addiction can have long-lasting and damaging effects on children and can be financially challenging for caregivers. A mom in Florence, Kentucky contacted my office about her son, who is battling addiction and frequently runs into trouble with the law. ?There are so many lives lost and so many more headed in that direction,? she said. ?lt?s an epidemic, not a crime spree.? ?We took decisive action against heroin and opioid abuse last year with passage of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act and the 21StCentury Cures Act. Now, by passing this funding legislation, we can provide signi?cant new resources to combat the crisis as well. Those critical funds will go to prevention, treatment, and enforcement programs that can help our communities heal from this scourge and help keep more families from ever knowing the suffering associated with this epidemic. "There?s still more work to do to get the opioid crisis under control, but this funding legislation will take another critical step in the right direction. That?s why substance-abuse treatment organizations support it, including one Louisville group that recently contacted my office in support ofthe bill. This legislation, in their words, will help ?[enhance] the ability of front lines providers to more effectively deploy resources and tackle this epidemic within our communities.? That?s making a positive and meaningful impact in the lives of the men and women we represent. ?Health care benefits for thousands of retired coal miners were set to expire across the country at the end ofthis week. Men and women who dedicated their lives to providing an affordable and reliable source of energy to this nation would have lost their health care, many of them when they needed it most. have met with retired coal miners numerous times in my of?ce about this issue, including one retiree from Georgetown, Kentucky who worked as an underground miner for 10 years. He suffers from diabetes and heart disease, and his wife is a breast cancer survivor. ?There is no question of whether or not we need our health insurance to continue,? he said. 'VVithout it, we would probably lose our home, [which] would be catastrophic not to mention what might happen to our health because we could not afford to get coverage or our medicine.? ?These coal miner retirees clearly needed our help, which is why I?ve been ?ghting for their health care at every step of the way. Today, I am proud that this funding legislation includes my proposal to permanently extend health care benefits for thousands of retirees across the nation and in Kentucky. Now these coal miners and their families can live with the peace of mind they've been looking for. That?s making a positive and meaningful impact in the lives of the men and women we represent. ?Fortoo long, federal bureaucrats in Washington imposed one-size-?ts-all education policies on our children. Distant bureaucrats dictated nationwide policies, even though the needs ofa student in Kentucky are different from those of a student in Maine or California. Forthis reason, we enacted the Every Student Succeeds Act education reform law, which sends power back to states, parents and teachers and this funding bill will support its implementation, giving our schools the resources they need to prepare our students. This funding legislation also supports school choice through reauthorization ofthe DC Opportunity Scholarships Program and through increased federal funding for charter schools. Both of these school-choice provisions will help expand opportunities for parents to send their children to the school that best meets their needs. ?In my home state of Kentucky, the increased support for charter schools will be very important as the new Republican majority in Frankfort recently passed a charter schools law. Yesterday, I met with State Representative Carney and charter school advocates who were key to shepherding this legislation into law. I want to again thank them for their efforts on behalf of Kentucky students and families, and I look forward to working with them to support charter schools in Kentucky going forward. By funding the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act and supporting school choice across the country, this legislation will help parents and students achieve strong educational outcomes. That?s making a positive and meaningful impact in the lives ofthe men and women we represent. ?Of course, this bill contains many other important wins for our country. It includes the largest border-security funding increase in a decade allowing our country to better support border security agents, enhance technology, and update critical infrastructure at the border. It includes OMB-American Oversight?002526 OMB-17-0112-B and OMB-17-0119-B-00237O important resources to help us begin rebuilding our military allowing our country to give servicemembers more ofthe tools they need, and fund a much-needed raise for our men and women in uniform. And, as I?ve outlined several times this week, this legislation includes a number of other conservative priorities as well. ?lmportantly, it achieves these things while conforming to spending caps and reducing bureaucracy, even consolidating, eliminating, or rescinding funds for over 150 government programs and initiatives. Because of hard work from both chambers and both sides ofthe aisle, we have a funding bill before us that can make many important and positive impacts in the lives of the people we represent. I know I will be supporting it. I urge colleagues to do the same. I look forward to its passage so we can send the agreement to President Trump for his signature.?

I think the American people are encouraged to hear that since our inauguration, illegal border crossings are down 60 plus percent in this country. And in this bill there's a down payment on additional border security.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) made the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding the government funding bill: ?Latertoday, the House will vote to pass a funding agreement that advances a number of American priorities achieving important things that would not have been possible under the previous administration. ?Take the border. President Trump and the Republican Congress made securing the border a priority and this funding bill acts on it. After years of an administration that failed to get serious on border security, this bill provides the largest border-security funding increase in a decade. Passing this bill means updating physical border infrastructure. It means enhancing surveillance technology. It means increasing support for border personnel. It means finally providing resources to end the practice of catch and release. On securing our border, this bill obviously marks a departure from the Obama years and an important step forward. ?Take defense. President Trump and the Republican Congress made rebuilding our military a priority and this funding bill acts on it. After years of an administration that drew down our conventional force structure and failed to address increasing threats across the globe, this bill provides a critically needed down payment on rebuilding our military. Passing this bill means allowing our force to retain higher levels of end strength. It means funding the largest military pay raise in six years. It means replacing munitions used in the fight against lSlL. It means finally ignoring the Obama-era demand of requiring defense-funding increases to be equally matched to non-defense increases. On rebuilding our military, this bill obviously marks a departure from the Obama years and an important step forward. ?These are notable wins, and they wouldn?t have happened without this administration?s tireless work in conjunction with the Republican Congress. Of course, there?s further to go in both areas. We know more work remains when it comes to strengthening our border infrastructure and stemming the tide of illegal immigration. We know more work remains when it comes to restoring our military?s combat-readiness and meeting the full needs of the force. ?But this legislation represents a step in the right direction in both of these areas and it advances conservative priorities in many others. It adheres to spending caps, reforms bureaucracy, and consolidates, eliminates, or rescinds funds for more than 150 government programs and initiatives. It supports the implementation of the Every Student Succeeds Act, which shifts control of education out of Washington, and it extends an important school choice program. It helps tackle terrorism, ?ght crime, support veterans, protect life, reform the IRS and freeze funding for it. ?It cuts funding for the EPA, prohibits funding for President Obama?s climate slush fund, and advances an ?all-of?the-above? energy policy that prioritizes research on technological advancements in nuclear, natural gas, and coal power generation. This research funding, along with the bill?s support for troubled coal-mining communities and dislocated miners, is important OMB-American Oversight?002534 and OMB-17-O119-B-002378 for states like mine as is the provision was proud to secure that will permanently protect health care benefits for thousands of retired coal miners and their families. ?This bill also extends resources for a pilot program I worked with Congressman Hal Rogers to secure, which will fund the reclamation and development of abandoned mine sites. Moreover, this bill also provides signi?cant new resources to tackle the prescription opioid and heroin epidemic that continues to ravage communities in Kentucky and across the country. ?The many achievements in this bill resulted from countless hours of committee work and bicameral negotiations. I want to again recognize the appropriators, our Members, and this Republican administration forthe tireless efforts that made this bill possible. The president and his team should be commended fortheir efforts in working with the Republican Congress to address many important needs for our country in this bill. look forward to the House passing the bill today so that we can take it up and send it to President Trump for his signature soon." i 2 {was tr EEMUWV Forlmmediate Release, Thursday, Ma 4 2017 Contacts: Don Stewart, David Robert Steurer, Stephanie Penn(b)(6) Release: YouTube: http://bitJy/291n3Qw Funding Bill Will Make a Positive Impact On the People We Represent ?The Senate will soon vote on the government-funding bill the House passed yesterday, and with it, critical resources to address a number of issues facing our country.?

Now, by passing this funding legislation, we can provide signi?cant new resources to combat the crisis as well.

This funding legislation also supports school choice through reauthorization ofthe DC Opportunity Scholarships Program and through increased federal funding for charter schools. Both of these school-choice provisions will help expand opportunities for parents to send their children to the school that best meets their needs. "In my home state of Kentucky, the increased support for charter schools will be very important as the new Republican majority in Frankfort recently passed a charter schools law.

It includes the largest border-security funding increase in a decade allowing our country to better support border security agents, enhance technology, and update critical infrastructure at the border. It includes important resources to help us begin rebuilding our military allowing our country to give servicemembers more ofthe tools they need, and fund a much?needed raise for our men and women in uniform.
