DIVISION A - AGRICULTURE, RURAL DEVELOPMENT, FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2018 CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTIVES The explanatory statement is silent on provisions that were in both the House Report (H.Rpt. 115-232) and Senate Report (S.Rpt. 115~-131) that remain unchanged by this agreement, except as noted in this explanatory statement. The agreement restates that executive branch wishes cannot substitute for Congress's own statements as to the best evidence of congressional intentions, which are the official reports of the Congress. The agreement further points out that funds in this Act must be used for the purposes for which appropriated, as required by section 1301 of title 31 of the United States Code, which provides: "Appropriations shall be applied only to the objects for which the appropriations were made except as otherwise provided by law." The House and Senate report language that is not changed by the explanatory statement is approved and indicates congressional intentions. The explanatory statement, while repeating some report language for emphasis, does not intend to negate the language referred to above unless expressly provided herein. In cases in which the House or the Senate have directed the submission of a report, such report is to be submitted to both the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, unless otherwise directed. Hereafter, in division A of this statement, the term 'the Committees' refers to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate. For the appropriations provided by this Act and previous Acts, the departments and agencies funded by this agreement are reminded that the Committees use the definitions for transfer, reprogramming, and program, project, and activity as defined by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) in GA0-04-261SP Appropriations Law-Vol. I and GA0-05734SP Budget Glossary. A transfer is the shifting of funds between appropriations. It applies to (1) transfers from one agency to another, (2) transfers from one account to another within the same agency, and (3) transfers to an interagency or intra-agency working fund. In each instance, statutory authority is required. 1 Reprogramming is the utilization of funds in an appropriation account for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of appropriation. It is the shifting of funds from one object to another within an appropriation. A program, project, or activity (PP A) is an element within a budget account. PP As are identified by reference to include the most specific level of budget items identified in the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Act, 2018, accompanying Committee reports, explanatory statements, the Statement of Managers, and budget justifications. Program activity structures are intended to provide a meaningful representation of the operations financed by a specific budget account by project, activity, or organization. For fiscal year 2018, the Committees continue to include bill language requiring advanced notification of certain agency actions. Notification will be required at least 30 days in advance of any action if (1) a major capital investment is modified; (2) an office is realigned or reorganized; and (3) activities are carried out that were not described in the budget request. The agreement directs the Office of Budget and Program Analysis (OBPA) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide an organizational chart for each agency funded by this Act to the division and subdivision level, as appropriate, by May 1, 2018. The agreement also directs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the Farm Credit Administration (FCA) to provide an organizational chart of each agency respectively to the division and subdivision level, as appropriate, by May 1, 2018. Further, USDA, CFTC, and FDA should be mindful of Congressional authority to determine and set final funding levels for fiscal year 2019. Therefore, the agencies should not presuppose program funding outcomes and prematurely initiate action to redirect staffing prior to knowing final outcomes on fiscal year 2019 program funding. The agreement directs OBPA to provide the Committees with the number of staff years and employees on board for each agency funded by this Act on a quarterly basis. 2 TITLE I AGRICULTURAL PROGRAMS PROCESSING, RESEARCH AND MARKETING OFFICE OF THE SECRET ARY (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS) The agreement provides $46,532,000 for the Office of the Secretary. The agreement directs the Secretary to provide the report on the Commodity Credit Corporation in H. Rpt. 115-232 under this heading on May 16, 2018 and November 15, 2018. The agreement recognizes the Department has statutory authorities and programs designed to help break the multi-generational trap of poverty in rural counties and supports USDA's utilization of existing programs and funding within Rural Development (RD) and the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) in order to assist families, create jobs, and develop a path towards self-sufficiency. Other existing resources such as the extension service and public universities can be used for coordination and outreach activities. The Committees still await the detailed plan required to be submitted by the Secretary detailing all funding resources and bundled services to combat rural poverty. The agreement includes $600,000,000 for a rural broadband pilot program to assist in further closing the digital divide. Lack of adequate broadband is an impediment to rural economic development, and deployment of broadband service yields a multitude of socioeconomic benefits including: economic growth, improved educational opportunities, and increased access to healthcare options. The agreement reiterates that funding should be prioritized to areas currently lacking access to broadband service, and investments in broadband shall consider any technology that best serves the goals of broadband expansion. Lastly, the agreement restates the importance of coordination among federal agencies in expanding broadband deployment and adoption and expects the Department to take caution to maximize these limited resources and not overbuild or duplicate existing broadband capable infrastructure. The agreement acknowledges that the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will continue to be responsible for the construction of the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF). The agreement provides an additional $4,000,000 to USDA to support operational activities of the NBAF. 3 In addition to $10,000,000 in mandatory funding available to assist socially disadvantaged and veteran farmers and ranchers, the agreement includes an additional $3,000,000 in discretionary funding for these activities. It was the intent of Congress that the Secretary consider the views of all producers who suffered losses related to the consequences of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria, and other hurricanes and wildfires occurring in calendar year 2017 in determining eligibility for assistance provided in Title I of Public Law No: 115-123. The agreement provides an additional $500,000,000 for Water and Waste grants and loans to address infrastructure needs in Rural America, and directs the Secretary to prioritize communities that have the greatest infrastructure needs. On February 3, 2017, USDA restricted the public's access to the search tool for the Animal Care Inspection System, saying it needed to conduct a comprehensive review of the information on its website. USDA is now posting heavily redacted inspection reports that make it difficult in certain cases for the public to understand the subject of the inspection, assess USDA's subsequent actions, and to evaluate the effectiveness of its enforcement. USDA's actions to date do not meet the requirements in H. Rpt. 115-232 that the online searchable database should allow analysis and comparison of data and include all inspection reports, annual reports, and other documents related to enforcement of animal welfare laws. USDA is directed to comply with these requirements and is reminded that as part of its oversight responsibilities, Congress has the right to make any inquiry it wishes into litigation in which USDA is involved. USDA is directed to respond to any such inquiries fully.

Additionally, NASS should work with the Agricultural Marketing Service to develop more robust price discovery mechanisms for alfalfa. AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE SALARIES AND EXPENSES The agreement provides $1,202,766,000 for the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), Salaries and Expenses. The agreement does not accept the President's budget request regarding the termination of research programs, redirections of research programs, or closure of research locations.

The agreement supports implementation of a program to recruit and train scientists, and other technical positions, focused on pathology, virology, immunology, entomology, epidemiology, microbiology, and computational biology for productive USDA careers at NBAF. The agreement directs ARS to work with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and stakeholders to develop an integrated management program for control of the scale insect pest infestation that is destroying Roseau cane in the Mississippi River's Delta region along the Gulf of Mexico. The whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) epidemic is severely impacting vegetable and cotton production in the Southeast U.S., particularly in Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama. Therefore, the agreement includes $1,250,000 for whitefly research and directs ARS and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIF A), in cooperation with land-grant universities located in the impacted states, to develop and submit a plan of action which addresses the whitefly problem to the Committees no later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act. The agreement supports additional funding for plant disease research to improve the quality of sugar beet production.

Some state contracted electronic benefit transfer (EBT) processors are charging switching or routing fees in connection with the routing of SNAP benefits. These fees require retailers and/or those routing transactions on behalf of retailers (often referred to as third party processors) to pay for EBT transaction switching and routing to the State EBT processor that handles the client EBT account. In addition, these fees may seek to offset artificially low costper-case-month fees that are bid as part of State contracts, and therefore adversely affect competition among existing or new EBT Processors. Therefore, in the interest of maintaining competitiveness for EBT transaction routing, Section 750 extends existing statutory prohibitions against the charging of fees by State contracted EBT processors in connection with the redemption of USDA domestic food assistance benefits to include the charging of gateway switching or routing fees to SNAP authorized retailers or their third party processors. FOOD AND NUTRITION SERVICE CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAMS (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS) The agreement provides $24,254,139,000 for Child Nutrition Programs.

The agreement notes, however, that while all revised packages now allow some fish, the amounts remain low compared to the recommendations of other authoritative health agencies. The agreement strongly encourages the Department to consider the health and cultural benefits of fish consumption as the NAS recommendations are reviewed and used to inform the Department's next course of action. The agreement also strongly encourages the Department to continue to allow states to submit cultural food package proposals to respond to the cultural preferences of WIC participants in states like Alaska.

The agreement expects the FDA to continue all projects, activities, laboratories, and programs as included in fiscal year 2017 unless otherwise specified. The agreement includes increases of $1,000,000 to review botanical drug and dietary supplement interactions; $400,000 to support the Critical Path Initiative; $2,800,000 to support intramural work and extramural collaborations necessary to begin developing the appropriate lab methods to detect evidence of seafood decomposition; $300,000 to help expedite the clearance at ports and distribution hubs of critically important medical products; $15,000,000 for the Oncology Center of Excellence; $10,500,000 to support produce safety cooperative agreements with states; and $9,700,000 for the animal drugs and feeds program to manage increased workloads. The agreement also includes $1,500,000 for the HHS Office of Inspector General specifically for oversight of FDA activities, and $1,500,000 for consumer education and outreach regarding biotechnology. The agreement includes a one-time increase of $2,500,000 to assist the agency in obtaining information from medical specialists and medical specialty groups concerning clinical use of each of the substances nominated for the list developed by the FDA of bulk drug substances for which there is a clinical need ("503B Bulks List"). Additionally, the agreement directs the FDA to follow congressional intent as it relates to human drug compounded medicines and the standards set forth under current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP). Given the need for high quality control and patient safety, the agency is instructed to prohibit 28 outsourcing facilities from compounding drug products from bulk ingredients when outsourcing facilities could otherwise be compounding from an FDA approved drug product. The agreement also includes a general provision providing $94,000,000 for the FDA to expand its efforts related to addressing the opioid crisis. According to the FDA, there is an increasing trend in the number of deaths involving fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, being used in combination with other drugs, including cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. A significant amount of illicit fentanyl is entering the country as part of the hundreds of millions of parcels that come through International Mail Facilities (IMF) annually. This funding will allow the FDA to strategically strengthen the agency's presence at IMFs to increase its overall operational capacity to inspect more incoming packages. Specifically, this funding is for the FDA to purchase equipment and information technology to identify unapproved and counterfeit pharmaceuticals, and to upgrade laboratory facilities used in this effort. Additionally, funding is provided to better identify and target firms and organizations importing into the United States; increase the staff inspecting packages and to increase the number of packages they are inspecting; increase criminal investigation resources; and increase staff and equipment to efficiently screen imported products. Additionally, the agreement encourages the FDA to continue implementing the Opioid Action Plan to determine how changes in opioid packaging, distribution, and medication disposal procedures can help mitigate the national opioid crisis, including working to support ongoing efforts at the state and regional level. The agreement notes that the FDA has not finalized the rule to extend the compliance date for manufacturers for the Nutrition Facts Label Final Rule and the Serving Size Final Rule, which is causing significant confusion and market disruptions, and directs the agency to finalize the rule before July 26, 2018. Further, the agreement directs the agency to issue its conclusions on the status of pending dietary fiber ingredients expeditiously. The agreement directs the FDA to make the report on Tobacco Product User Fees described in H. Rpt. 115-232 publicly available on its website within 60 days of enactment of the Act. The agreement notes that the FDA initiated studies concerning glass products for injectable products and directs the FDA to evaluate the agency's study data and any other 29 appropriate available data and report back to the Committees within 45 days on whether it plans to update the 2011 Advisory to reflect recent science. Concerns remain about the FDA's ability to meet its legal obligation to protect trade secrets and confidential commercial information the agency obtains from its regulated industries. FDA is overdue in providing a detailed description of its systems to ensure protection of such information and is directed to provide this plan within 60 days of enactment of this Act. The agreement fully supports the requirement for all covered facilities to have food defense plans but concerns have been raised that the final rule entitled ''Mitigation Strategies to Protect Food Against Intentional Adulteration," dated May 27, 2016 (81 Fed. Reg. 34165) is overly prescriptive, costly, and inconsistent with current successful practices that have been used to protect the nation's food supply. In order to address the fundamental concerns with the final rule, the agreement urges the Agency to consider providing more time for further collaborative dialogue with stakeholders. BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES The agreement provides $11,788,000 for the Food and Drug Administration Buildings and Facilities. FDA INNOVATION ACCOUNT, CURES ACT The agreement provides $60,000,000 for the FDA as authorized in the 21st Century Cures Act.

Of this amount for OIG, not less than $350,000 should be for overhead expenses. The agreement directs the CFTC to submit, within 30 days of enactment, a detailed spending plan for the allocation of the funds made available, displayed by discrete program, project, and activity, including staffing projections, specifying both FTEs and contractors, and planned investments in information technology. The agreement hereby restates the language under the headings Swap Dealer de Minimis and Internal Risk Management Transactions in H.Rpt.115-232. 30 FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES The agreement includes a limitation of $70,600,000 on administrative expenses of the Farm Credit Administration.
