Overview
The Committee recommendation includes $85,832,575,000 in
total discretionary appropriations for the Department of Homeland
Security, including $60,300,000,000 within the bill’s 302(b) budget
allocation, $5,390,859,000 in discretionary appropriations offset by
fee collections, and $19,945,000,000 as an allocation adjustment for
major disaster response and recovery activities. The overall total is
an increase of $4,524,619,000 above the fiscal year 2022 total and
$2,517,716,000 above the President’s budget request. The total
within the allocation is $2,800,000,000 above the fiscal year 2022
level.
Balanced Homeland Security Investments
Investments in this bill are intended to balance competing prior-
ities across the Department’s important missions, all of which are
critical to the security of the country. The bill continues important
investments to recapitalize Coast Guard aviation and surface
fleets, including continued support for the Polar Security Cutter,
Fast Response Cutter, and Offshore Patrol Cutter programs; hire
more Secret Service agents and Uniformed Division officers to re-
duce mandatory overtime; expedite the procurement of more effec-
tive imaging technology for the Transportation Security Adminis-
tration and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP); help com-
munities develop public health-focused approaches to at-risk indi-
viduals before they commit a crime or engage in violence, including
through grants, technical assistance, and research; and expand the
capacity of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster
response workforce. The bill also continues to build on new initia-
tives, such as the Alternative to Detention (ATD) Case Manage-
ment Program; the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombuds-
man; and the Migration Analysis Center, which will help inform
budget requests and emergent resource requirements related to mi-
gration.
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
The Committee recommends an increase of $334,136,000 above
the fiscal year 2022 level for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency to better protect federal civilian cyber networks
and help state and local governments and the private sector secure
both cyber and physical infrastructure, including election infra-
structure.
Border Security
For CBP operations, the bill recommends $230,876,000 above the
request level, including $123,173,000 for additional Office of Field
Operations staffing and $15,000,000 for innovative technology for a
total of $40,000,000. Within the funds provided, the bill rec-
ommends not less than the following: $89,756,000 for forced labor
to include the implantation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection
Act, $44,900,000 for body worn cameras; $20,000,000 for the Uni-
fied Immigration Portal; $23,000,000 for mental health clinicians;
and $3,500,000 for rescue beacons and the Missing Migrant Pro-

Within CBP’s Procurement, Construction and Improvements ac-
count, the recommendation includes $107,259,000 above the re-
quest for new technology, both at and between the ports of entry,
and makes available up to $100,000,000 in prior-year funding
available for mitigation of the environmental impacts of border bar-
rier construction.
Civil Immigration Enforcement
Immigration detention is civil detention; almost no one in the
custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a
criminal in the sense of having been convicted of a crime for which
they have not served a criminal sentence. That is not to say that
some individuals whom ICE arrests and detains are not threats to
public safety; but the vast majority pose no such threat and, were
they U.S. citizens, there would be no clamor to detain them.
The bill continues to expand ICE’s reliance on noncustodial, coop-
erative immigration compliance models by increasing funding for
ATD programs. It funds improved communications and access to
counsel for individuals in ICE’s custody; and provides funding con-
sistent with an average daily population in detention for single
adults of 25,000 during fiscal year 2023, consistent with the budget
request. This detention capacity for single adults will allow ICE to
arrest, detain, and remove individuals who are enforcement prior-
ities without over detaining anyone who is determined to be nei-
ther a flight risk nor a threat to public safety or national security.
Transportation Security
The bill provides $615,872,000 in new funding to allow the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to compensate its
workforce at levels that are commensurate with other federal agen-
cies, and to extend other equivalent rights and protections. This is
a matter of basic fairness to TSA personnel, who play a critical and
physical demanding role in ensuring the safety of air transpor-
tation, and also because it will help address long-standing recruit-
ment and retention challenges TSA has experienced since it was
first established.
Humanitarian Processing and Citizenship
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) asylum
and refugee programs have long been funded by applicants and pe-
titioners seeking unrelated immigration benefits, making fee rates
needlessly higher than would otherwise be required for cost recov-
ery. The bill provides funding to begin the transition of these hu-
manitarian programs into USCIS’s Operations and Support ac-
count. The bill also provides funding to increase asylum operations
in anticipation of the additional workload USCIS will assume to
adjudicate the asylum cases of individuals placed into expedited re-
moval proceedings who claim a fear of return to their home coun-
try. Such adjudications had previously been handled only by the
Department of Justice Immigration Courts, which continue to be
challenged by significant case backlogs.
Additionally, the bill provides $30,000,000 for the Citizenship
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
and Integration Grant Program, $10,000,000 above the fiscal year

2022 level, to help future citizens complete their immigration jour-
neys and successfully integrate and engage in their communities.

B–1 Visa Holders.—The Committee directs the Secretary to sub-
mit a report not later than 180 days after the date of enactment
of this Act that includes summary data on B–1 personal or domes-
tic workers, including visa holders’ years of birth; genders; coun-
tries of citizenship and birth; dates of visa issuance and expiration;
and the cities and states where the visa holders will be working.
The report shall employ data disclosure avoidance measures to pro-
tect personally identifiable data and be made available to the pub-
lic. The Secretary shall promptly inform the Committee if a federal
agency partner does not comply with a request to provide relevant
records needed to complete the report.
Office of Partnership and Engagement (OPE).—The recommenda-
tion includes an increase above the request of $2,796,000 for OPE,
including an increase of $500,000 for the Blue Campaign, for a
total of $3,400,000 for the program in direct appropriations.
The recommendation does not concur with the proposed transfer
of $2,900,000 associated with the Blue Campaign from OPE to the
Department’s Center for Countering Human Trafficking, located
within ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations. The Committee is
willing to reconsider the movement of the program after the De-
partment has adequately responded to the Committee’s request for
information about the proposed move, including a description of its
outreach efforts to stakeholder groups and an analysis of the poten-
tial impact of the move on undocumented victims of trafficking.
The recommendation also rejects the proposed transfer to OPE of
$604,000 associated with the Office for Faith and Neighborhood
Partnerships from FEMA.
Building Materials.—The Committee supports the use of sustain-
able building materials, including low carbon materials, that help
minimize the environmental impact of construction projects and
urges the Department to prioritize the use of such materials when-
ever possible.
Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3).—The
recommendation includes an increase of $3,000,000 to support a
national awareness campaign to raise awareness of prevention re-
sources available in communities across the United States.
Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
and annually thereafter, CP3 shall submit to the Committee and
make publicly available online a report containing the following:
(1) For each risk factor or behavioral indicator used in CP3
trainings and programs, the evidence base supporting its inclu-
sion, including peer-reviewed research validating its inclusion
and whether the federal government has funded or supported
the cited evidence;
(2) A description of all privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties
protections applicable to CP3 programs, whether administered
directly by the Department, through grant recipients, or by
other third parties, and a detailed description of how CP3 mon-
itors grant recipient compliance with federal civil rights laws
pursuant to 44 C.F.R. Part 7 and any other applicable statu-
tory or regulatory provisions; and
(3) Beginning with the fiscal year 2020 grant cycle, detailed

descriptions of:

(A) the operative policies for award decisions for each
cycle, including the specific criteria for awarding grants
and how they were applied;
(B) the performance metrics and evaluation criteria for
grant recipients for each cycle; and
(C) a summary of all ongoing evaluations of grantees, in-
cluding evaluation criteria and performance metrics, as
well as a list of all completed or published evaluations.
Counter-drug efforts in the Caribbean.—The Committee notes
that the strategic location of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Is-
lands in the Eastern Caribbean make them targets for
transnational criminal organizations seeking to import illicit nar-
cotics and other contraband into the continental United States. The
Committee expects the Secretary to continue prioritizing border se-
curity and counter-drug efforts in and around Puerto Rico and the
U.S. Virgin Islands, including through the Department-led Carib-
bean Border Interagency Group and Joint Interagency Task Force-
South.
Domestic Terrorism.—The Department is directed to coordinate
with the Department of Justice (DOJ), including the FBI, and key
public safety officials across the United States to promote informa-
tion sharing and ensure an effective joint effort to combat domestic
terrorism. The Department is also directed to review its anti-ter-
rorism training and resource programs for federal and SLTT law
enforcement agencies, with a focus on ensuring they are effective
in helping agencies understand, detect, deter, and investigate ex-
tremist threats.
Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Department is directed to brief the Committees on Appropria-
tions and Judiciary of the House and the Senate on an updated as-
sessment of the domestic terrorism threat. The briefings shall also
include an analysis of acts or attempted acts of domestic terrorism
in the United States during fiscal year 2022.
Domestic Violent Extremism Review.—Within 90 days of the date
of enactment of this Act, the Committee directs DHS to provide a
briefing on its efforts to implement the 15 recommendations ad-
dressed in its March 2022 internal review. The Committee also en-
courages the Department to continue to work with its interagency
partners on adopting a consistent definition of ‘‘domestic violent ex-
tremism’’.
Family Separation.—The Department should ensure that family
unity is a primary factor when making criminal and civil charging
decisions and, whenever possible and consistent with an assess-
ment by a state-licensed child welfare professional that it is in the
best interest of a child, that separated family units are reunited
and transported together prior to removal, release from U.S. Cus-
toms and Border Protection (CBP) custody, or transfer to U.S. Im-
migration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Office of Refugee Re-
settlement (ORR) custody.
The familial relationships of each family unit taken into DHS
custody must be immediately documented and the location of every
member of a separated family unit must be continuously tracked
and a specific justification for the initial separation must be re-
corded, along with a justification for any continued separation.

ICE custody, in CBP or ICE custody, under ICE supervision, or re-
ferred to DOJ for prosecution are asked about and have opportuni-
ties to report family separation incidents; verify the status, loca-
tion, and disposition of family members; and regularly commu-
nicate with one another.
The Department should also work with DOJ to ensure that infor-
mation related to family separation that is shared during the
course of a criminal prosecution is conveyed to DHS for purposes
of family tracking and reunification.
Family Separation: Extended Family.—For adult migrants placed
into section 240 removal proceedings who are a category 2 imme-
diate relative of a minor with whom they arrived, the Department
shall ensure that ORR is made aware of the family relationship as
soon as possible. The Committee supports the placement of ORR
personnel in CBP processing facilities to begin the process of
verifying such relationships and assessing the suitability of adult
relatives to serve as the sponsor of their minor family member.
Immigration Data.—The Committee directs the Office of Immi-
gration Statistics to publish on its website, semiannually, I–129
data on employers, worksites, occupations, gender, and wages, for
petitions in the E, H, L, O, P, and TN visa classifications. Addition-
ally, the website shall include data on key visa and work programs
administered by ICE through the Student and Exchange Visitor In-
formation System, such as the J–1 program and the F–1 Optional
Practical Training program, including employment, wage, and gen-
der data for all visas and programs categories. Data for the J–1
visa should be reported according to each J–1 sub-program. The
data reported according to this directive shall not include person-
ally identifiable information.
Joint Requirements Council (JRC).—The Committee directs the
Department to continue providing quarterly updates on JRC activi-
ties. The Committee is concerned that the JRC’s strategic value to
the homeland enterprise is not being fully realized. When it was
established, the Committee understood that the JRC would lead
the Department in efforts to create joint requirements—leading to
the termination or combining of program and/or requirements
where appropriate and leading to a more efficient and effective
DHS. To date, it is unclear what, if any, programs or requirements
have been addressed and changed as a result of the existence of the
JRC. Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Under Secretary for Management shall brief the Committee on
the need for continued funding of the JRC or on what reforms DHS
is undertaking to focus the JRC on the original vision.
Law Enforcement Support.—The Department is directed to con-
tinue quarterly reporting, on a publicly accessible website, on re-
quests to DHS law enforcement components for support in the form
of personnel, aircraft, or other assets, consistent with reporting re-
quired for fiscal year 2022. Support to a non-federal entity in a lo-
cation where First Amendment protected activity is occurring
should only be provided if approved in advance by the Secretary,
the Deputy Secretary, or the Under Secretary for Management, and
the Department shall notify the Committee not more than 48 hours
after the approval of such support.
Legal Access.—The Committee is concerned that individuals in
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
DHS custody do not have reasonable access to counsel, particularly
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396

prior to immigration court proceedings. Not later than 90 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, the Department shall brief
the Committee on current policies and standards related to access
to retained or prospective counsel, including through telephone,
video teleconferencing, fax, mail, and in-person communications.
The briefing shall also address how ICE, CBP, and departmental
oversight entities ensure compliance with such policies and stand-
ards. The briefing shall also include recommendations for improve-
ments, including any funding requirements to improve facilities
and technological capabilities to better ensure appropriate con-
fidential and unmonitored attorney-client communications above
the $60,000,000 in enhancements provided to ICE for this purpose
in this recommendation.
Migration Analysis Center.—The recommendation provides
$6,514,000 above the request for the Office of Strategy, Policy, and
Plans for the Migration Analysis Center (MAC), of which
$5,499,000 is to restore and annualize the cost of funding provided
in fiscal year 2022 to establish the MAC and $1,015,000 is for an
additional enhancement, including for additional FTE. The Depart-
ment is directed to ensure that funding and personnel resources for
the MAC are clearly described in future budget requests. Addition-
ally, the Department shall brief the Committee on an expenditure
plan and schedule of anticipated milestones and activities not later
than 45 days after the date of enactment of this Act. The briefing
shall also address the extent to which the MAC has entered into
agreements or is otherwise engaging with entities outside the De-
partment, such as other federal agencies, academic institutions;
state, local, tribal, and territorial communities; the private and
non-profit sectors; and research communities.
Nondisclosure Agreements.—The Committee urges the Depart-
ment to amend the Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation to
require procurement solicitations and contracts to include a clause
prohibiting a contractor from requiring their employees or inde-
pendent subcontractors to enter into a non-disparagement or non-
disclosure agreement related to workplace harassment as a condi-
tion of employment, including sexual harassment, sexual assault,
or retaliation for reporting, resisting, opposing, or otherwise par-
ticipating in a workplace harassment proceeding.
Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL).—The Com-
mittee recommends $48,263,000 for CRCL, $8,748,000 above the
request, including an increase of $250,000 for management and ad-
ministration of the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) Case Manage-
ment Program; $500,000 for implementation of the Women, Peace,
and Security (WPS) Act; $4,901,000 to restore and annualize en-
hancements in the fiscal year 2022 funding Act for ATD Case Man-
agement Program administration ($750,000), WPS Act implementa-
tion ($580,000), and CRCL staffing ($3,571,000); and $3,133,000 to
restore proposed cuts related to organizational efficiencies, admin-
istrative support contracts, and other contracts that were not suffi-
ciently justified.
CRCL shall continue to ensure that all individuals whose com-
plaints it investigates receive information within 30 days of the
submission of a final report or recommendations memorandum, in-
cluding findings of fact, conclusions, and recommendations and en-
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING

Office of Health Security and Resilience (OHSR).—The rec-
ommendation accepts the proposed transfer of $48,902,000 from the
Management Directorate and the Countering Weapons of Mass De-
struction Office to the new OHSR, which the Secretary plans to es-
tablish in fiscal year 2022 using authority made available in sec-
tion 513 of the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Act, 2022 (division F of Public Law 117–103). The transferred
funds include $14,550,000 first provided in fiscal year 2022 for
child welfare professionals to oversee the care of children in CBP
custody and the recommendation includes an additional $3,500,000
for a total of $18,050,000. Within the funds provided, the Com-
mittee expects the OHSR to establish a DHS Federal Advisory
Committee for Children in Immigration Custody; obtain profes-
sional training and translation services; and provide for paid in-
ternships.
Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman (OIDO).—The
recommendation includes $28,570,000 for OIDO, an increase of
$5,366,000 above the fiscal year 2022 enacted level and $8,311,000
above the request. Funding above the requested is intended to sup-
port the hiring of OIDO staff, in addition to supporting support
contracts. The Ombudsman is directed to continue briefing the
Committee quarterly on the office’s activities and to provide at the
first such briefing following the date of enactment of this Act, an
obligation plan for fiscal year 2023 that includes details about the
current and planned level of federal positions and FTE.

quired by Public Law 116–93 shall include descriptions of the of-
fice’s activities, findings, and recommendations, including copies of
complaint forms and descriptions of complaint mechanisms; the
number and types of complaints received, investigated, resolved,
and referred to the Office of Detention Oversight, CRCL, or the Of-
fice of Inspector General (OIG).
OIDO shall make public on its website statistics related to com-
plaints received and resolved, policy recommendations, and reports
of facility investigations upon their completion and associated com-
ponent comments.
Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS).—The Committee recog-
nizes that the workload demands of OIS have increased signifi-
cantly in recent years. To address this growing workload, the bill
includes an increase of $3,900,000 for OIS, including funds for ad-
ditional FTE.
Official Reception and Representation Expenses.—DHS shall con-
tinue to submit quarterly obligation reports for official reception
and representation expenses, as in prior years, and refrain from
using such funds for collectibles or memorabilia.

quarterly reports on the number of parole requests received and
granted, and for those granted, the rationale for each grant and its

goals and outcomes such as performance outcome measures, output
measures, efficiency measures, and customer service measures.
Prosecution Referrals.—Within 60 days of the date of enactment
of this Act and updated quarterly thereafter, DHS shall make pub-
licly available the following records and data on illegal entry and
reentry prosecutions:
(1) the current policy guidance for prosecution referrals;
(2) the number of individuals referred for prosecution, by sec-
tor during the prior quarter; and
(3) the country of origin, demographic information, and jus-
tification category for referring each individual.
Protected Areas.—Not later than 60 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, the Department shall brief the Committee on the
implementation of the Secretary’s October 27, 2021, memo entitled
‘‘Guidelines for Enforcement Actions in or Near Protected Areas.’’
The briefing shall include a description of the related training pro-
vided to CBP and ICE personnel; related documentation policies;
and data showing the frequency of enforcement actions taken in or
near protected areas, differentiated by category of protected area,
rationale for taking the enforcement action in the protected area,
and whether prior approval was obtained.
Public Complaint and Feedback System Working Group.—The
Committee recommends continued funding of $500,000, as re-
quested, to support the activities of the Public Complaint and Feed-
back System Working Group, as directed in prior House reports. In
addition, the working group should collaborate with the Depart-
ment in developing standards to improve customer service and in-
corporating such standards into the performance plans required
under 31 U.S.C. 1115. The Office of Public Engagement shall brief
the Committee semi-annually on the progress of the working group,
as described in the explanatory statement accompanying Public
Law 115–141, as well as on progress in developing customer service
standards.
Public Reporting of Operational Statistics.—The Department is
directed to submit quarterly Border Security Status Reports and
data on the removal of the parents of U.S.-born children semiannu-
ally, as in prior years.
Recalcitrant Countries.—Not later than 30 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Department shall, in consultation with
the Department of State and other relevant agencies, submit a re-
port on efforts to remove migrants encountered from countries who
currently refuse to accept returns. The report shall be submitted in
unclassified form but may contain a classified annex.
Record Preservation.—The Committee is concerned about the
preservation of records related to the death, hospitalization, poten-
tial sexual assault or sexual abuse, assault or abuse of individuals
held in DHS custody, as well as records related to allegations of
medical malpractice against such individuals. DHS is directed to
brief the Committee, not later than 60 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, regarding component record preservation policies
and requirements related to individuals in custody, including poli-
cies for making records available to individuals alleging harm done
to them while in DHS custody or against whom allegations are
made of criminal behavior or other behavior that results in place-

Reporting Mechanism.—The Committee reminds CRCL of a brief-
ing requirement in the statement accompanying the fiscal year
2022 funding Act on current mechanisms for the intake of com-
plaints from the public related to state and local law enforcement
involvement in federal immigration enforcement.
Rural Broadband Access.—To expand rural broadband infra-
structure in unserved rural areas and tribal lands along the south-
west and northern borders, the Committee encourages the Sec-
retary to identify opportunities for public-private partnerships with
broadband providers to incorporate affordable public accessible
broadband into current and future tactical infrastructure projects.
The Committee reminds the Department of the briefing require-
ment on these efforts that was required by the explanatory state-
ment accompanying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act.
Statelessness.—The Committee directs the Department to provide
a briefing, not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of
this Act, on CBP, ICE, and USCIS policies and practices related to
the collection of data on the nationality or statelessness of individ-
uals in DHS custody, under DHS supervision, or who apply or peti-
tion for immigration benefits. The briefing should address policies
and practices for documenting and validating the identity and sta-
tus of individuals who claim to be stateless, opportunities for indi-
viduals to identify as stateless, and ICE policies and practices re-
lated to statelessness when determining whether a removal is rea-
sonably foreseeable. The briefing should also address whether
statelessness should be a positive factor in applications for discre-
tionary immigration benefits, waivers, or exercises of prosecutorial
discretion for humanitarian reasons or in the public interest.
Training.—The Committee supports the work of the DHS Law
Enforcement Coordination Council (LECC) to review and improve
the Department’s use of force policies, including de-escalation tac-
tics, the duty to intervene, and less lethal munitions, its efforts to
improve training in ways that better ensure the protection of civil
rights, liberties, and privacy, and its work to improve standards.
The Department is directed to brief the Committee, not later than
90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, on the activities
of the LECC.
In addition, the Committee reminds DHS of the requirement in
House Report 117–87 to provide an execution plan for providing
training on trauma-informed care to CBP personnel who interact
with migrants. This training should also be provided to Volunteer
Force personnel and contract personnel providing support to CBP,
along with ICE personnel who routinely interact with migrants.
Use of Force Reporting.—The Committee encourages the Sec-
retary to consider making participation in the National Use of
Force Data Collection Program of the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion by state and local law enforcement agencies a condition for eli-
gibility for federal grant funding, including State Homeland Secu-
rity Program grants and Urban Area Security Initiative grants.
Visa Overstay and Border Security Metrics.—The Committee di-
rects the Department to continue to provide the report on visa
overstay and border security metrics detailed in section 107 of the
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2018 (divi-
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
sion F of Public Law 115–141).

increase of $25,000.
Advertising Services.—The Committee directs the Department to
provide, as part of the fiscal year 2024 budget justification or as
a report to the Committee not later than 60 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the following information: the total amount
obligated for advertising service contracts for the prior fiscal year
and a target amount for the current year and the budget year, in-
cluding delineations of such total amounts obligated to socially and
economically disadvantaged small business concerns, as defined in
section 8(a)(4) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(a)(4)), and
to women-owned and minority-owned businesses.
ADAPT.—While the Committee is encouraged by the recent im-
provements in acquisition reporting by the Department, the re-
quest does not provide sufficient detail as to how this new tool will
improve decision making and acquisition oversight or help the De-
partment address the concerns that the Committee has raised
about whether there is sufficient qualitative and quantitative re-
view of the substance of the components’ acquisitions rather the
current review which often seems focused on meeting procedural
requirements. The Committee directs the Department to provide a
briefing on how such a tool would improve the outcomes of the De-
partment’s acquisitions within 90 days of the date of enactment of
this Act.
Budget Justifications.—The Department is expected to provide
complete justification materials for the fiscal year 2024 budget re-
quest, including details for each office and program, and to clearly
describe and account for current services, transfers, adjustments to
base, and program changes. In addition to the detail provided in
current reporting, the justifications shall incorporate output from
predictive models used by DHS component agencies. For each rel-
evant program area, justifications shall clearly describe and quan-
tify the projections used to inform resource requests, indicate the
offices and components impacted by the projections, and confirm
whether the budget requests for those offices and components were
developed using the same assumptions. In addition, the Chief Fi-
nancial Officer is directed to ensure that fiscal year 2024 budget
justification materials for classified and unclassified budgets of all
components are submitted concurrent with the President’s budget
submission to the Congress.
Common Operating Platform for Maritime Domain Awareness.—
The Committee is interested in the work that ICE, CBP, and the
Coast Guard are doing to expand their maritime domain aware-
ness, whether DHS is exploring the use of a common operating
platform for all three components, and if so, where it should be
housed. The Committee directs OCFO in conjunction with the JRC
to provide a briefing on this topic within 180 days of the date of
enactment of this Act.
Component Staffing Plans.—The Department shall submit staff-
ing plans to the Committee on a quarterly basis and shall ensure
such plans are connected to activity-level details in the budget jus-
tification materials.
Homeland Security Advanced Recognition Technology System

project, as envisioned in the fiscal year 2022 Joint Explanatory
Statement and chose instead to rely on existing DHS review proc-
esses. The Committee directs the Department to undertake an
independent validation and verification (IV&V) effort with a non-
DHS entity in fiscal year 2023 and encourages beginning this proc-
ess as soon as possible.
The Department shall provide adequate disclosure of its tech-
nologies, data collection mechanisms, and sharing agreements
among DHS immigration enforcement agencies other federal, state,
local, and foreign law enforcement agencies, and other partners as
relates to the development of HART. The Committee directs OBIM
to provide a briefing, within 90 days of the date of enactment of
this Act on its efforts to meet these disclosure requirements.
Obligation Plans.—The Department shall continue to submit ob-
ligation plans on a quarterly basis, the Office of the Chief Financial
Officer (OCFO) shall require the use of a uniform obligation plan
template to ensure consistency across components, which shall in-
clude quarterly spending targets for each account and PPA. OCFO
will also be responsible for ensuring that components with major
acquisition programs include the breakout of these programs with-
in their quarterly plans and provide additional context to describe
and justify any changes from the prior submission. During the pe-
riod of any continuing resolution, OCFO shall provide a briefing on
the corresponding obligation and budget execution plan, as directed
in House Report 114–215.
Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM).—OBIM is di-
rected to continue briefing the Committee on a semiannual basis
on its workload, service levels, staffing, modernization efforts, and
other operations.
Vehicle Fleet Modernization.—The Department is directed to pro-
vide to the Committee an expenditure plan for funds provided in
the bill for vehicle fleet modernization within 45 days of the date
of enactment of this Act.

Multiple Funding Sources for Migrant Operations.—The Com-
mittee denies the proposal transfer from ICE to CBP the responsi-
bility for the cost off-site medical claims for migrants in CBP cus-
tody. The Committee is concerned that there appear to be more
than one funding stream to satisfy the same requirements, espe-
cially with regard to the care, custody, processing, and transpor-
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
tation of recent border crossers. Despite years of Committee at-

tempts to resolve this issue, as far back as House Report 112–492
and through several oversight engagements since, the problem re-
mains.
In lieu of the proposed transfer of funding for migrant medical
costs, the Committee provides this funding to the DHS Chief Read-
iness Support Officer, which shall work with the JRC, ICE, CBP,
the Chief Financial Officer, the Office of General Counsel (as need-
ed), and any other stakeholders to establish a written and enforce-
able policy that clearly delineates roles and responsibilities for the
care, custody, processing, and transportation of recent border cross-
ers. Such policy shall avoid allowing for multiple funding streams
for the same activity. Not later than 60 days after the date of en-
actment of this Act and prior to the date such policy become effec-
tive, CRSO shall provide a brief to the Committee on the policy.
Joint Processing Centers.—The Committee recommends
$25,000,000 above the request for the Office of the Chief Readiness
Support Office (OCRSO) for a third joint processing center. OCRSO
shall continue to act as the executive agent for the design and con-
struction of such centers in consultation with CBP, ICE, USCIS,
and other DHS components. Not later than 60 days after the date
of enactment of this Act, OCRSO shall brief the Committee on its
plans and provide quarterly updates on the progress of JPC con-
struction.

Mission
The Federal Protective Service (FPS) delivers law enforcement
and protective security services to federally owned, leased, or oper-
ated facilities.
The Committee recommends $2,113,479,000 for the FPS, as re-
quested, which is fully offset by fees collected from FPS customer
agencies. The Committee encourages the Department to balance
FPS fee increases with the impact of those fee increases on other
parts of DHS.
CARES Act.—The Committee appreciates the updates that FPS
has provided in the past year on the outstanding payments due to
vendors under section 3610 of the CARES Act (Public Law 116–
136). However, given that more than two years have passed since
this provision was enacted to help vendors maintain their work-
force, the Committee remains concerned about the timeline for
completing this work. FPS is directed to brief the Committee with-
in 30 days of the date of enactment of this Act on its planned
timeline for completion and provide monthly updates thereafter
until all eligible payments have been made.
Obligations.—FPS is directed to submit to the Committee, not
later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, a table

with primary and recognized fusion centers to improve the use of
open-source based threat analyses to detect threats online and sup-
ports voluntary information-sharing arrangements between the pri-
vate sector, I&A, and fusion centers that help inform such analyses
while at the same time protecting individual privacy.

Custody Operations Reporting.—OIG is directed to continue its
program of unannounced inspections of immigration detention fa-
cilities and to publish the results of the inspections and other re-
ports and notifications related to custody operations activities on a
publicly available website. The OIG shall regularly consult with
congressional oversight committees and community service stake-
holder organizations when developing and updating its strategy for
conducting these inspections.
Denial of OIG Access to Records and Information.—The OIG
shall provide a quarterly report to the Committee concerning any
component efforts to prevent or impede OIG access to records, doc-
uments, or other materials. The report shall include, at a min-
imum, a summary of the OIG request, a description of the compo-
nent response to the request, and any other information the OIG
determines appropriate.
Monthly Budget and Staffing Briefings.—The OIG shall continue
to provide the Committee monthly budget and staffing briefings, as
described in the explanatory statement accompanying the fiscal
year 2022 Act (Public Law 117–103). The briefings shall include all
available sources of funds and shall be modified in fiscal year 2023
to shift away from program office profiles and instead reflect budg-
et and staffing profiles by the types of audits, investigations, and
inspections planned and executed.

$6,076,000 for financial analytics.
The COVID–19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact
on the collection of trade and travel fee revenue on which the Office
of Field Operations depends for a significant portion of its oper-
ations. Because the impact on fiscal year 2023 collections is uncer-
tain and is still being estimated by CBP, the recommendation is
based on the budget proposal and fee revenue estimates provided
in CBP’s budget request, with the understanding that Congress
may need to address potential funding shortfalls later in the appro-
priations process. In lieu of funding, the CBP Chief Financial Offi-
cer shall continue to manage and oversee CBP’s fee funding to en-
sure current year operational requirements are balanced against
the continuing requirement to build and maximize the use of a car-
ryover balance.
Behavior Health Challenges.—The bill includes $23,000,000 to
address behavioral health challenges within CBP. CBP is expected
to address the following:
(1) Develop a process to ensure that employees who utilize
CBP behavior health resources are not adversely impacted
solely because they self-identify a need for behavior health
counseling and seek behavior health assistance;
(2) Increase the number of local behavioral health profes-
sionals with experience providing psychological support serv-
ices to law enforcement personnel;
(3) Create a behavioral health curriculum for employees at
the beginning of their CBP career to provide resources early
and instill the importance of mental health;
(4) Create periodic management training on crisis interven-
tion and CBP’s programs and services to aid employees with
behavioral health issues;
(5) Improve the existing Peer Support Program (PSP), to in-
clude additional training and resources for peer support per-
sonnel in the workplace and full-time PSP members across the
Agency; and
(6) Develop a voluntary alcohol treatment program. Not later
than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, CBP shall
brief the Committee on plans to address behavioral health
challenges, to include a plan for the obligation of the funding
provided.
Border Barrier Mitigation Activities.—As noted in House Report
117–87, the Committee continues to be concerned about the im-
pacts of border barrier construction on sensitive lands and wildlife
along the southwest land border, including in national wildlife ref-
uges, national forests, national monuments, and wilderness areas.
To address these concerns, the bill provides authority to use up to
$100,000,000 of prior year funds appropriated for border barrier

ture years for mitigation activities, including land acquisition, re-
lated to the construction of border barriers on federal land. Author-
ity is also provided to allow for the transfer of funds to the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the
U.S. Forest Service, and the National Park Services for the same
activities.
Border Search and Rescue.—Within 90 days after the date of en-
actment of this Act, CBP shall brief the Committee on its search
and rescue efforts during fiscal year 2022, including:
(1) the number of deaths, by sector and cause of death;
(2) the number of rescue beacons, frequency of beacon activa-
tion, and rescues in response to beacon activation, by sector;
(3) the results of the survey of Border Patrol stations on res-
cue beacons; and
(4) options for reducing the number of migrant deaths along
the border, including an assessment on the effectiveness of
water supply sites and rescue beacons and the potential for in-
creased collaboration with non-governmental organizations.
Budget Briefings.—In addition to any other reporting or briefing
requirements, and not later than 30 days after the submission of
the fiscal year 2024 budget request, CBP shall provide detailed
briefings on the activities of all CBP programs for the prior year,
the current year to-date, and estimates for the remainder of the
current year and the budget year. For procurement items, the
briefings shall also include:
(1) the quantity required and delivered by year for each pro-
gram or item category;
(2) a schedule that delineates acquisition and contracting
events;
(3) units delivered during the prior year and current year to-
date, along with a delivery schedule for the remainder of the
current year and the budget year;
(4) plans for the obligation and expenditure of all unobli-
gated funds,
(5) descriptions of contractor and government activities;
(6) top current risks for each program; and
(7) a description of how CBP is measuring the operational
contributions of each procurement program.
For operational programs, the briefings should address:
(1) operational capabilities supported by the base budget and
by any enacted or proposed program changes;
(2) personnel data by category (e.g., agents, officers, proc-
essing coordinators, trade specialists, etc.), including on-board
staffing, funded and executed FTE; and end-of-year projects for
on-board positions and FTE for the current year and the budg-
et year; and
(3) updated projections of immigration and customs fee col-
lections and anticipated carryover.
Where CBP anticipates end-of-year obligations will be below the
enacted funding level, it shall provide an estimated range for those
balances. Further, for any program where costs are driven, in part,
by predictive analytics and modeling (e.g., flow to the border, work-
load staffing models, etc.) CBP shall provide an update on those
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
projections.

Checkpoint, Transportation and Roving Patrol Stops.—CBP shall
continue to collect and report publicly on its website data per-
taining to all checkpoints, transportation checks, and roving patrol
stops, to be updated semiannually with all necessary redactions of
personally identifiable information about specific individuals. For
roving patrols, the data should include:
(1) the total number of use of force incidents and arrests by
location;
(2) the citizenship status of subjects arrested; and
(3) the amount and type of property seized.
For transportation checks, the data should include:
(1) a description of the boarding of public conveyance by CBP
in air, maritime and ground stations, ports, and terminals
when an arrest is made;
(2) the total number of use of force incidents and arrests by
location;
(3) the citizenship status when an arrest is made; and
(4) the amount and type of property seized.
For checkpoints, the data should include:

that were in operation for any period of time;
(2) the total number of use of force incidents and arrests by
location;
(3) the citizenship status of subjects arrested following sec-
ondary inspection;
(4) the amount and type of property seized; and
(5) a description of how the agency uses information collected
by cameras and license plate readers.

nal review process and a summary of the findings;
(3) a statistical summary of local UFRB activity; and
(4) a description of any changes to policy, tactics, or training
that were made based on CBP’s or the UFRB’s findings and
the timeline for their implementation.
Electronic Device Searches.—Committee directs CBP to publish
data on its public website detailing the number of instances during
secondary inspections in which POE personnel:
(1) accessed the digital contents of any electronic equipment,
delineated by the nationality and initial country of departure
for the arriving individual in possession of such equipment;
(2) accessed the digital contents of an online account, includ-
ing social media handles and cloud-based accounts;
(3) requested consent to access the digital contents of any

contents of electronic equipment of such person, delineated by
whether the credential was so disclosed; or
(5) detained an individual for refusing to disclose or provide
consent to access the digital contents of any electronic equip-
ment belonging to them or in their possession, delineated by
whether the individual was a United States person, and the
length of time the individual was detained.
In addition, CBP is directed to publish aggregate data on the
race and ethnicity of individuals subject to secondary inspection for
purposes of accessing digital content. The data required under this
heading shall be published semi-annually.
High-speed Pursuit.—Due to concerns over fatalities associated
with Border Patrol high speed pursuits, the Committee directs CBP
to provide a report, not later than 180 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, on the following:
(1) current CBP vehicle pursuit policies;
(2) a comparison of CBP policies with those of local law en-
forcement in border areas;
(3) consideration of the seriousness of the suspected criminal
behavior of the potential target of a high-speed pursuit prior
to initiating or continuing a pursuit;
(4) the number of high-speed pursuits over the last three
years;
(5) the number of convictions resulting from the pursuits (to
include type of convictions);
(6) the number of crashes resulting from pursuits; and
(7) the number of individuals injured, and the number killed
during pursuits.
Human Smuggling.—The Committee encourages the Department
to work with its federal law enforcement partners to ensure that
the enforcement of anti-drug and anti-smuggling laws is carried
out in a manner protective of human life and safety. In particular,
DHS should work to prevent the passage of any vehicle through a
checkpoint or port of entry for purposes of a controlled delivery by
another law enforcement agency if the vehicle may contain individ-
uals being smuggled under unsafe conditions, such as the smug-
gling of one or more individuals in a confined or non-air-condi-
tioned space.
Incident-Driven Video Recording System (IDVRS).—The Com-
mittee provides $44,900,000 to deploy the IDVRS, including body
worn cameras, to additional Border Patrol Stations. Not later than
90 days after the date of enactment of this Act and quarterly there-
after, CBP shall brief the Committee on IDVRS deployments and
operations, including updates to the execution plan and schedule.
Innovative Technology.—The Committee recommends a total of
$60,000,000 for innovation technologies, to include $40,000,000
within Operations and Support (O&S) and $20,000,000 under Pro-
curement, Construction, and Improvements (PC&I). CBP is di-
rected to update the Committee on the planned obligation of these
funds not fewer than 15 days prior to any obligation of funds.
Funding shall not exceed $5,000,000 for any individual project.
Migrant Care.—CBP, in conjunction with the DHS Chief Medical
Officer, is reminded of the requirement in House Report 117–87 to
brief the Committee on modifications to existing guidance on the
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
treatment of migrants in CBP custody.

24
Migrant Families in Custody.—When considering whether a fam-
ily unit should remain together while in custody, the Commissioner
should consider the criminal history of the parent, and the physical
and mental health of all members of the family. When appropriate
and feasible, CBP shall ensure that separated family units are re-
united and transferred together prior to removal, release from CBP
custody, or transfer to Immigration and Customs Enforcement cus-
tody. When CBP is responsible for the custody of unaccompanied
children who are siblings, the Commissioner shall, to the extent
practicable and when in the best interest of the children, place
such siblings together in the same facility until the Department of
Health and Human Services assumes custody pursuant to 8 U.S.C.
1232(b).
Migrants and Personnel Training and Migrant Property.—CBP is
reminded of the requirements in House Report 118–87 to provide
an execution plan for trauma-informed care training, to include a
timetable for full implementation, and for a briefing on migrant
property policies and protocols.
Migrant Safety.—CBP shall continue its policies and activities
that help protect people who travel on foot through dangerous ter-
rain after having entered the United States between the ports of
entry. CBP shall continue to prohibit its personnel from engaging
in any activity that could damage water and food caches and shall
expand migrant safety efforts, including through the placement
and maintenance of additional rescue beacons. The recommenda-
tion includes not less than $3,500,000 for rescue beacons and for
the Missing Migrant Program. Not later than 90 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, CBP shall brief the Committee on
planned obligations.
Multiple Funding Sources for Migrant Operations.—The Com-
mittee denies the proposed transfer of responsibility from ICE to
CBP for paying for off-site medical claims for migrants in CBP cus-
tody. The Committee is concerned that there are several funding
streams to satisfy the same requirements, especially as it related
to the care, custody, processing, and transportation of recent border
crossers, and despite years of attempts to have these issues re-
solved, the problem remains. In lieu of the proposed transfer of mi-
grant medical costs, the Committee transfers the funding to the
DHS Chief Readiness Support Officer to work with the JRC, ICE,
CBP, the Chief Financial Officer, the Office of General Counsel (as
needed), and any other relative entity to establish a written and
enforceable policy, to be made available to the Committee, that
clearly delineates the roles and responsibilities for executing such
requirements. Additional direction is provided in Title I of this re-
port.
Prosecution of Asylum Seekers.—The Administration is reminded
of U.S. obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention to refrain
from imposing consequences on asylum seekers based on the man-
ner in which they enter the country.
Land Port of Entry (POE) Infrastructure Capital Plan.—Not later
than 30 days after the submission of the President’s budget request
for fiscal year 2024, the Commissioner shall submit a report that
details its prioritization of POE infrastructure capital investment
projects, the methods and models used to determine prioritization,
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
and an overview of Public-Private Partnership agreements. The

25
Committee encourages the Commissioner to work with the General
Services Administration and the Office of Management and Budget
on the annual 5-year Land POEs modernization plan, which is
based on CBP’s operational priorities and should include plans to
complete the modernization of pre-9/11 POEs along the northern
border. Specific attention should be paid to the health, safety, and
welfare needs of CBP officers.
Recruitment, Hiring, and Retention.—The Committee directs
CBP to provide a briefing, within 60 days of the date of enactment
of this Act, on efforts to improve hiring and retention by all of its
law enforcement components. CBP shall prioritize and continue ef-
forts to use available incentives to recruit and retain personnel in
rural and remote areas and explore other strategies, such as inno-
vative pilot programs that include successful strategies from the
private sector, career path enhancements, alternative schedules,
and workforce support programs. The briefing shall address en-
acted and obligated amounts for the prior year and current year,
along with proposed amounts for the budget year and metrics used
to measure the success of the efforts.
Strategy to Combat Opioids.—CBP is reminded of the direction
in House Report 117–87 to provide a briefing to the Committee on
how the Strategy to Combat Opioids has influenced actions already
taken, the results of those actions, a plan for updating the strategy,
and the level of obligations for all activities associated with INTER-
DICT Act implementation. CBP is urged to provide personnel with
personal protective equipment, handheld non-intrusive inspection
equipment, and mobile detection devices, including those that de-
tect secondary exposures.
Within 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, CBP
shall brief the Committee on its policies and procedures for assess-
ing the risk associated with packages from countries with a low ca-
pacity to transmit advance electronic data (AED). The briefing
shall also address resource requirements, including infrastructure,
equipment, and staffing needed to properly prescreen inbound
items with and without AED.
Video Monitoring.—The recommendation includes not less than
$10,000,000 for video monitoring capabilities within Border Patrol
facilities. The Committee continues the direction from the explana-
tory statement accompanying Public Law 116–03 that any failure
of cameras and associated storage equipment in excess of 120 hours
at any CBP holding facility must be reported to the Office of Pro-
fessional Responsibility. Such reporting shall be updated weekly
until the system is back online.
Border Security Operations
Border Patrol Hiring.—The budget proposes funding for 300 new
Border Patrol Agents and 300 new Border Patrol Processing Coor-
dinators. However, while CBP has made progress in hiring proc-
essing coordinators, Border Patrol agent hiring is not consistently
keeping pace with attrition, leading to the continued reduction of
total agents. Based on current estimates, CBP will need to hire
more than 600 agents in fiscal year 2023 to reach the proposed
agent total of 19,855 agents. To date, CBP has been unable to pro-
vide the Committee with executable plans, including metrics, to
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
show how it will achieve a net increase of 600 agents. Accordingly,
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
26
none of the funds for hiring agents and processing coordinators
may be obligated prior to CBP briefing the Committee on a fully
developed hiring obligation plan.
Carrizo Cane.—The recommendation includes not less than
$6,000,000 for efforts to control the growth of Carrizo cane along
the Rio Grande River in Texas. CBP shall continue to provide quar-
terly updates on the performance of this program related to im-
proved visibility, biomass reduction, and miles of river treated.
Radios.—The Committee continues to direct CBP to review the
need to retrofit U.S. Border Patrol radios to allow agents to operate
on the CBP system or transfer to either a commercial LTE carrier
or the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) LTE Network.
Trade and Travel Operations
Biometric Exit.—The Committee continues direction for CBP to
provide a detailed expenditure plan for biometric exit activities
within 90 days of the date of enactment of this Act, which includes
information on the timeline for deployment of a biometric exit sys-
tem, as well as a description of the capability funded in the 9/11
Response and Biometric Exit Account, established in Division O of
Public Law 114–113, can procure and support. Further, the plan
should include a realistic cost estimate for full implementation.
CBP is encouraged to continue to deploy a biometric exit capability
in the air environment. In line with CBP’s vision for biometric exit,
CBP is also urged to work in partnership with the air travel indus-
try on the implementation of the Biometric Entry-Exit Program.
Cargo Processing.—The Committee directs CBP to provide a
briefing on its efforts to improve automated commercial cargo proc-
essing, to include passive scanning at POEs, not later than 60 days
after the date of enactment of this Act.
Foreign Trade Zone.—The Committee is concerned that insuffi-
cient staffing resources are being allocated to the Foreign Trade
Zone (FTZ) program and directs CBP to provide a briefing, not
later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, on staff-
ing requirements of the FTZ program, to include existing personnel
gaps.
Parole for Lightering Crewmembers.—Not later than 90 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, CBP shall brief the Com-
mittee on the costs, to include work hours and both pay and non-
pay costs if CBP no longer has to grant parole on a regular basis
to lightering crewmembers.
Lacey Act Amendment of 2008.—CBP is directed to provide a
briefing, not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this
Act, on implementation of the Lacey Act Amendment of 2008, re-
lated to illegally sourced plants and plant products, including an
assessment of any gaps in current enforcement efforts.
Live Animal Imports.—CBP is reminded of the requirement in
House Report 118–87 that directs CBP to issue a report to Con-
gress evaluating the necessity of additional bonded warehouses for
live animal imports.
National Targeting Center (NTC).—The bill provides
$251,993,000 for targeting operations. Within these funds, CBP is
encouraged to review commercial, off-the-shelf artificial intelligence
capabilities, visual analytics, and search platforms that might help
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
improve NTC operations.

House Report 118–87 to brief the Committee on efforts to interdict
the outbound flow of smuggled firearms and illicit currency that fa-
cilitate the activities of transnational criminal organizations.
Passive Person Scanning.—The Committee directs CBP to brief
the Committee not later than 90 days after the date of enactment
of this Act on the use of passive person screening to include current
and planned deployment of the technology.
Preclearance.—The Committee supports the continued expansion
of the preclearance program and urges CBP to consider expansion
to eligible partners in the Indo-Pacific region. CBP is reminded of
the direction in House Report 118–87 to brief the Committee on the
status of preclearance expansion efforts, including a list of expan-
sion candidate countries and challenges to expansion, such as staff-
ing, space, or other constraints.
Port Upgrades.—The Committee urges CBP to routinely review
the baseline facility service levels for each POE and take those
service levels into consideration when acting on requests for facility
and security improvements. CBP should share information on each
POE’s service levels with the port operator and, not later than 90
days after the date of enactment of this Act, provide aggregate in-
formation on current levels of service to the Committee.
Resource Allocation Model (RAM).—Any modifications to the
RAM shall be described at the field and office level in future budg-
et submissions. Additionally, not later than 60 days after the date
of enactment of this Act, CBP shall brief the Committee on re-
source and staffing shortfalls on the northern and southern borders
compared to levels prescribed by the RAM for rail crossings and
POEs in the land, air, and sea environments, including cruise ship
terminals. CBP is encouraged to continue to improve the model by
seeking external review.
Secure Corridor Strategy.—CBP, the Federal Railroad Adminis-
tration (FRA), Servicio de Adminstracion Tributaria (SAT), and
freight railroads have collaborated on the implementation of a Se-
cure Corridor Strategy that has improved the safety, security, and
efficiency of cross-border trade and freight movement. The Com-
mittee continues to encourage CBP to continue working with FRA,
SAT, and freight railroads to further implement this strategy.
Tribal Travel Documents.—CBP is reminded of the requirement
in House Report 117–87 to brief the Committee on the impact of
non-WHTI compliant documents on tribal members and how CBP
is working with tribal governments to address identification chal-
lenges.
U.S. Citizens Held in CBP Custody.—The Committee directs CBP
to provide a detailed report, within 90 days of the date of enact-
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
ment of this Act, on the number of U.S. citizens detained for more

than 24 hours at POEs during the last two fiscal years. The report
should include the ages and other demographic information of the
individuals detained, the length of detention, and the rationale for
their detention.
User Fee Airports.—Consistent with House Report 114–668 and
House Report 116–180, the Committee strongly encourages CBP to
give priority consideration to an application for POE status to any
user fee airport that served at least 75,000 deplaned international

Air and Marine Operations (AMO) Maritime Requirements.—Not
later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, CBP
shall provide a briefing detailing AMO resource and operational re-
quirements related to securing the maritime borders and ap-
proaches, including the number and types of assets, technologies,
and infrastructure.
PROCUREMENT, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS
Appropriation, fiscal year 2022 ......................................................... $572,083,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2023 ....................................................... 440,280,000
Recommended in the bill ................................................................... 547,539,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2022 .................................................. ¥24,544,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2023 ................................................ +107,259,000
The Committee recommends the following increases above the re-
quest: $100,000,000 for border technology procurement;
$20,000,000 for innovation technology; and $50,000,000 for non-in-
trusive inspection (NII) equipment. The recommendation includes
the following decreases to the request: $20,221,000 for the common
operating picture; $22,245,000 for the Multi-role Enforcement Air-
craft; and $20,528,000 for the Light Enforcement Platform pro-
gram.
Aircraft Sensor Upgrades.—The bill provides $13,000,000 for air-
craft sensor upgrades, as requested. Within the funds provided
CBP is encouraged to consider the acquisition of high-definition
electro-optic, low cost, lightweight multimode surveillance radar,
and infrared sensors and KU-band satellite communications sys-
tems.
Border Technology Procurement.—The Committee recommends
$100,000,000 for border security technology, which shall only be
available for autonomous surveillance, cross border tunnel threats,
mobile surveillance, aerostats, geospatial capabilities, mesh net-
works, and search and rescue capabilities.
The Commissioner is directed to prioritize procurement of the
most cost-effective technologies based on lifecycle costs, system
availability, reduced requirements for personnel, and input from
sector leadership. CBP shall provide a briefing to the Committee on
a plan for the obligation of these funds at least 15 days prior to
any obligation. The plan shall require the direct approval of the
CBP Commissioner and include:
(1) details about the process for prioritizing the use of funds;
(2) a summary of planned obligations for fiscal year 2023,
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
delineated by technology type;

(3) metrics that will be used to assess the cost effectiveness
of each type of technology for which funds will be obligated and
a plan for collecting the data required for such metrics; and
(4) for continuing procurements, operational effectiveness
data that supports continued investment, including evidence of
support from sector leadership based on actual use of the tech-
nology.
CBP shall notify the Committee at least 15 days prior to the obli-
gation of any funds based on a change to the initial obligation plan.
Innovative Technology.—The Committee recommends a total of
$60,000,000 for innovation technologies, to include $40,000,000
within Operations and Support (O&S) and $20,000,000 under Pro-
curement, Construction, and Improvements (PC&I). CBP is encour-
aged to review the following technologies: geospatial search and
rescue; unmanned maritime vessels; remote sensing; mesh net-
working; satellite communications; vehicle communications in LTE-
denied areas; and aerostats. CBP is directed to update the Com-
mittee on the planned obligation of these funds not fewer than 15
days prior to any obligation of funds. Funding shall not exceed
$5,000,000 for any individual project.
Light Enforcement Platform.—The Committee provides no fund-
ing, a decrease of $20,528,000 from the request, for the Light En-
forcement Platform due to lack of executable schedule. Currently,
AMO is finalizing an analysis of alternatives that is looking at ei-
ther a fixed or rotary wing aircraft, but no decision has been made
on the specific type of platform. Until DHS can provide additional
details to include the type of aircraft and detailed cost and sched-
ule information, a request for funding an aircraft is premature.
Multirole Enforcement Aircraft.—The Committee recommends
$38,000,000 for a new land variant multirole enforcement aircraft
program. As noted in House Report 117–87, following the expira-
tion of the previous contract for the maritime variant, CBP plans
to issue a new Request for Proposals for a land variant later this
fiscal year. The reduction recommended below the request is associ-
ated with the incremental funding strategy proposed by CBP. The
Committee continues to strongly discourage incremental funding
approaches except in cases of long lead time materials, such as for
many Coast Guard shipbuilding programs. The Committee reiter-
ates it will only recommend funding in a given fiscal year for the
total cost of an end-item, as defined by section 525 of this Act, to
ensure transparency in the full cost of an acquisition program.
Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII).—The Committee recommends
$50,000,000 for NII technology at land and sea ports of entry
(POE); no funding for NII was proposed in the CBP budget.
In fiscal year 2019, Congress provided $564,000,000 above the re-
quest to improve the POE vehicle inspection process—a paradigm
shifting opportunity. The goal was to increase the percentage of ve-
hicles inspected from one percent for privately owned vehicles
(POV) and six percent for commercial vehicles to 40 percent for
POV and 72 percent for commercial. It was the vision of Congress
to revolutionize the existing inspection process at POEs by moving
nonintrusive inspections to preprimary lanes and employ artificial
intelligence, machine learning, and autonomous processes to not
only streamline searches for drugs and contraband, but also to sub-
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
stantially increase security.

Unfortunately, CBP delayed the obligation of funds for the in-
spection equipment until September 2021. Due to CBP’s failure to
adequately estimate associated civil works costs, the program uni-
laterally decided to remove the requirement to include under vehi-
cle x-ray inspection. Moreover, CBP also failed to plan for, or invest
in the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and
autonomy into the program. Instead, CBP’s strategy continues to
depend on CBP Officers to review thousands of images manually
to hunt for anomalies while also attempting to match the images
with manifests; there is nothing novel about this approach. This
delay, short-sighted removal of under vehicle x-ray capabilities and
failure to innovate CBP’s processes is inexcusable and must be im-
mediately addressed by current DHS leadership.
The Committee rescinds $30,000,000 of the funds provided in fis-
cal year 2022 for NII and reappropriates the funding to focus only
on creating the innovations first planned over four years ago. None
of the funds provided may be obligated until CBP provides an obli-
gation plan focused on the adoption of innovative processes and
technologies to scan and catalogue images—freeing up scarce CBP
Officers to perform other needed tasks.
P–3 Aircraft Mission System.—CBP’s P–3 aircraft is an integral
part of the successful counternarcotics mission by providing sur-
veillance of air, land, and maritime smuggling routes. However,
while many platforms within DHS use a common mission manage-
ment system that links sensors to allow for information sharing,
the P–3 has yet to be upgraded with this capability. Not later than
30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, CBP shall brief the
Committee on the current mission system integration efforts across
CBP platforms and plans for the common mission system to be in-
tegrated into other assets, to include the P–3.

Mission
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforces fed-
eral laws governing border control, customs, trade, and immigra-
tion to promote homeland security and public safety and helps fa-
cilitate the adjudication of legitimate claims of asylum and other
claims for status to remain in the United States.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is responsible for dis-
rupting and dismantling transnational criminal threats facing the
United States. HSI special agents also conduct national security in-
vestigations targeting violations of the nation’s customs and immi-
gration laws.
Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) enforces the na-
tion’s immigration laws by identifying and apprehending poten-
tially removable noncitizens, detaining apprehended individuals
when necessary, and—depending on the outcome of immigration

manner consistent with legal processes and procedures. ERO also
ensures that potentially removable individuals are afforded due
process, treated humanely, and offered case management services.
OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT
Appropriation, fiscal year 2022 ......................................................... $8,206,526,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2023 ....................................................... 8,002,128,000
Recommended in the bill ................................................................... 8,298,567,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2022 .................................................. +92,041,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2023 ................................................ +296,439,000
The recommendation includes an overall increase of $303,355,000
above the request, including $131,158,000 for HSI; $121,207,000 for
ERO; and $44,074,000 for mission support activities.
ICE shall continue to provide detailed operational and expendi-
ture plans, as described in the explanatory statements accom-
panying Public Laws 116–6, 116–93, 116–260, and 117–103. ICE
routinely fails to produce a monthly execution report or provide an-
swers about the execution of appropriated funds, such as the status
of funds and projected costs for program areas such as: child exploi-
tation investigation efforts; 287(g) agreement execution and over-
sight; enforcement of forced labor and intellectual property rights
laws; and enterprise-wide costs associated with tactical communica-
tions and fleet management. The bill includes a new administrative
provision requiring monthly briefings on obligations and staffing
levels and a proviso is included in the appropriating paragraph
that reduces the amount available to ICE leadership offices when
these briefings are not provided by the statutory deadline.
In addition, ICE shall develop a plan to configure its financial
and reporting systems to better budget for and monitor the costs
of programs and initiatives and to track obligations and expendi-
tures against those programs and initiatives; such a plan should be
fully operational in the first half of fiscal year 2023. Not later than
60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, ICE shall brief the
Committee on the status of this effort, including a description of
anticipated risks and a mitigation plan to address those risks.
Homeland Security Investigations
Assessment of Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs).—
The Committee continues to be concerned by reports of TCOs tar-
geting legitimate businesses along drug trafficking routes. ICE is
directed to update the assessment described under this heading in
House Report 117–87 and shall brief the Committee on the results
of the updated assessment not later than 120 days after the date
of enactment of this Act.
Blue Campaign.—The recommendation does not concur with the
proposed transfer of the Blue Campaign from OPE to the Center
for Countering Human Trafficking, located within HSI.
Enhancing and Modernizing HSI Capabilities.—The Committee
is concerned about the growing complexity and workload associated
with executing HSI missions—especially given the increase in on-
line and dark web activity, such as growing reports of online child
sex abuse; criminal activity related to illicit opioid/fentanyl smug-
gling; and increased commercial trade fraud and intellectual prop-

32
investigative skillset of the HSI workforce, the unique compilation
of HSI legal authorities, and its critical role in investigating
transnational criminal organizations involved in trafficking individ-
uals into and within the United States.
Therefore, the Committee provides a total increase of
$131,958,000 above the request for HSI, including $74,339,000 to
restore enhancements from the fiscal year 2022 funding Act;
$35,235,000 to restore proposed reductions intended to achieve un-
defined efficiencies; and $24,084,000 for the HSI Border Security
Enforcement Taskforces, including $13,500,000 for salaries and
overtime for HSI state and local taskforce officers and $10,584,000
for equipment, travel, training, and other expenses.
ICE is directed to update the Committee with details about the
use of these additional funds as part of its monthly operational and
spending plans. Further, ICE shall provide detailed staffing and
budget assumptions about these efforts in future budget requests.
Environmental Forensic Science.—The Committee encourages
ICE, in consultation with the Science and Technology Directorate
(S&T), to expand existing partnerships with external, forensic
science academic partners to better combat transnational crime,
particularly related to wildlife, narcotics, weapons, and human
trafficking.
Forced Labor.—HSI shall provide a briefing on its Forced Labor
investigations within 120 days of the date of enactment of this Act.
HERO Child-Rescue Corps.—ICE is directed to spend not less
than $15,488,469 for this program. The Committee reminds ICE of
the briefing on the status of the HERO apprenticeship program
and looks forward to receiving this briefing as soon as possible.
Angel Watch Center.—ICE is directed to include details about the
Angel Watch Center as part of its monthly operational and expend-
iture plan briefings and include detailed staffing and budget as-
sumptions about the Center in future budget requests.
Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center.—ICE is di-
rected to spend not less than $18,470,375 for the Intellectual Prop-
erty Rights Coordination Center. The Committee directs ICE to
provide a briefing on its enforcement priorities, including its work
on digital and streaming piracy, within 120 days of the date of en-
actment of this Act.
Human Rights Violators.—ICE is directed to continue its efforts
to investigate, remove, and prosecute individuals who have com-
mitted human rights abuses, including persecution, genocide, se-
vere violations of religious freedom, torture, extrajudicial killing,
use or recruitment of child soldiers, crimes against humanity, or
war crimes. ICE shall provide a briefing to the Committee within
180 days of the date of enactment of this Act on the following:
(1) the total number of prosecutions and investigations of
human rights offenses and other offenses committed and their
outcomes, delineated by serious human rights violators within
each of the last five fiscal years;
(2) efforts to increase the number of human rights investiga-
tions and prosecutions; and
(3) any organizational, resource, or legal impediment to in-
vestigating and prosecuting more human rights violators.
Targeting Traffickers.—The Committee directs ICE to submit a
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
report on how it plans to increase undercover operations on

33
darknet marketplaces and spoof online advertisements for fentanyl
precursors or related chemicals on social media, business-to-busi-
ness websites, or other classified-ad platforms.
Wildlife Trafficking.—ICE shall continue its work in partnership
with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and CBP to combat wildlife
trafficking and to continue to produce the related report required
by Public Law 116–125. The report shall include options for mak-
ing the required information available annually in a routine and
public manner. Within 90 days of the date of enactment of this Act,
ICE shall brief the Committee on budgetary and staffing resource
needs for its wildlife trafficking investigative work. The briefing
shall include historical funding levels and case hours dedicated to
this effort covering fiscal years 2020 through 2022.
Enforcement and Removal Operations
The recommendation provides a total increase of $121,207,000
above the request, including increases of: $21,207,000 to restore
proposed reductions intended to achieve undefined efficiencies;
$20,000,000 to enhance legal access for detained individuals, in-
cluding increased access to legal resources and electronic commu-
nications; $40,000,000 to improve phone access to asylum officers
and legal representatives for detained individuals; $10,000,000 for
the ICE Secure Docket Card program to allow noncitizens access
to immigration files and documents; $20,000,000 for expansion of
the Young Adult Case Management program; and $10,000,000 for
Alternatives to Detention; ICE is directed to update the Committee
on these programs as part of its monthly operational and expendi-
ture plans, including both requested funding and the increases in-
cluded by the Committee. Further, ICE shall provide detailed staff-
ing and budget assumptions related to these efforts in future budg-
et requests.
287(g) Program.—The recommendation continues a provision in
the bill that requires ICE to provide a report to the Committee and
the public regarding 287(g) steering committee membership and ac-
tivities; performance data; the number of individuals placed into re-
moval proceedings by 287(g)-designated officers; and any plans for
future expansion of or changes to the program. ICE is directed to
publish applications for new or renewed 287(g) agreements on its
website at least eight weeks prior to entering into any such agree-
ment. In addition, ICE shall ensure thorough vetting of 287(g) ap-
plicants to minimize detention conditions that do not fully comply
with Performance-Based National Detention Standards and Prison
Rape Elimination Act standards.
OIG and CRCL are directed to provide rigorous oversight of the
287(g) program, and ICE is directed to notify the Committee prior
to implementing any significant changes to the program, including
any changes to training requirements, data collection, selection cri-
teria, or the jurisdictions with which ICE has agreements.
The bill continues a provision from prior years that prohibits the
continued delegation of 287(g) authority to any local jurisdiction if
the OIG determines that the jurisdiction has materially violated
the requirements of its 287(g) agreement.
Access to Legal Representatives and Asylum Officers.—The Com-
mittee is concerned that many individuals in ICE custody still do
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
not have appropriate access to telephone services or electronic com-
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
34
munications to contact legal and case support services or to contact
USCIS asylum officers. In addition, the Committee continues to re-
ceive reports that individuals in ICE custody often have difficulty
scheduling appointments with their legal representatives or access-
ing private spaces for their communications. ICE is directed to
brief the Committee within 30 days of the date of enactment of this
Act on plans to improve communications and access to counsel for
those in its custody, including its use of the $60,000,000 rec-
ommended in the bill above the request for those purposes.
Addressing Wrongful Removals.—ICE, USCIS, and other DHS
components are directed to leverage all mechanisms provided by
current law to facilitate the return to the United States of individ-
uals who were unjustifiably removed from the United States under
the immigration laws, or whose removal was subsequently deter-
mined to be contrary to law. Such mechanisms should include the
use of humanitarian parole, supporting a respondent’s motion to re-
open, and stipulation to relief from removal. ICE should endeavor
to ensure that such individuals are restored to their prior lawful
status, to the greatest extent possible, or are afforded the ability
to adjust to lawful status, as appropriate. Not later than 60 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, ICE shall brief the Com-
mittee on its efforts to comply with these directives.
Age-Outs.—ICE is again directed to prohibit the transfer or
maintenance of custody by ICE of any person formerly designated
as an unaccompanied child (UC) who reaches 18 years of age in the
custody of the Department of Health and Human Services Office of
Refugee Resettlement (ORR), as described in 8 U.S.C. 1232(c)(2),
unless the ICE juvenile coordinator provides written certification of
compliance with the requirement in 8 U.S.C. 1232(c)(2)(B) to con-
sider placement in the least restrictive setting. This written certifi-
cation must document the specific factors demonstrating that any
alternatives to detention, including but not limited to any rec-
ommended in ORR’s post-18 plan, would be insufficient to mitigate
any danger to self, threat to public safety, and/or risk of flight. The
Committee notes that neither the lack of a sponsor nor the lack of
an ORR-developed post-18 plan should be dispositive factors. This
written certification shall be provided to the individual and the in-
dividual’s attorney of record upon request.
In addition, the Committee directs ICE to ensure that training
is provided to relevant personnel, including contract personnel, on
policies and procedures to ensure compliance with 8 U.S.C.
1232(c)(2)(B). Such training shall be mandated annually for all offi-
cers who make custody decisions for children who turn 18 in ORR
custody, including but not limited to deportation officers, field office
juvenile coordinators, and supervisory detention and deportation of-
ficers.
Finally, beginning not later than 30 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, ICE shall provide a monthly report to the Com-
mittee with the number of UC who turned 18 in ORR custody and
were then transferred to ICE detention, including a breakdown by
ICE area of responsibility and the UC’s most recent type of ORR
placement, the reason for detention, and whether ORR provided a
post-18 plan.
Alternatives to Detention (ATD) and Case Management Services
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
(CMS).—The recommendation provides an increase of $42,186,000
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
35
above the request, for a total of $569,319,000 for the ATD PPA to
fund increases in enrollments into the ATD program, Secure Dock-
et Program, and case management services and participation.
The Committee urges ICE to use the least restrictive form of su-
pervision necessary to ensure compliance with the terms of the pro-
gram; conduct regular reviews of each participant’s compliance and
compliance obligations, with input from each participant’s counsel
and/or case manager; and de-escalate supervision requirements
when warranted by such reviews. Further, any individual enrolled
into ATD shall not be required to pay a bond for their release.
Additionally, DHS and ICE are reminded of the reporting and
publishing requirements regarding the ATD program described in
the explanatory statement accompanying the Department of Home-
land Security Appropriations Act, 2021, (Public Law 116–260); the
Committee reiterates the ATD CMS briefing and operational direc-
tives described therein.
ATD Contracts.—ICE shall continue to brief the Committee on
any ATD contracts it awards under this program, including con-
tracts involving the Know Your Rights program for new partici-
pants. ICE shall also continue providing a monthly briefing on the
number of noncitizens participating in the ATD program, by tech-
nology type and cost by technology type, as well as the number of
participants who attend a portion of or all of their immigration
court hearings. In addition, ICE shall continue to publish annually
the following policies and data relating to ATD:
(1) guidance for referral, placement, escalation, and de-esca-
lation decisions;
(2) enrollment by Field Office;
(3) information on the length of enrollment broken down by
type of ATD; and
(4) a breakdown of enrollment by type and point of appre-
hension.
The recommendation also continues the case management serv-
ices grant program, which is funded in the ‘‘Office of the Secretary
and Executive Management—Federal Assistance’’ account and
overseen by the Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
ATD Referrals.—ICE shall continue to submit quarterly reports
to the Committee until the ATD referrals guidelines are finalized.
ICE shall submit an annual report on the number of referrals sub-
mitted by non-government organizations and the number of such
referrals accepted into ATD programs that utilize case manage-
ment programs.
Bond Payments.—The Committee reminds ICE of its require-
ments to provide the monthly bond statistics described in House
Report 116–9 and directs ICE to continue providing such informa-
tion in fiscal year 2023. Further, not later than 30 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, ICE is directed to provide a briefing
to update the Committee on the status of allowing the general pub-
lic to post and pay bonds electronically.
Bond Payments and the Use of Bail Bond Agents.—Within 180
days of the date of enactment of the Act, the Committee directs
ICE to provide a briefing on the use of bail bond agents by individ-
uals in ICE detention, including recommendations on how to en-
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
sure that such individuals fully understand the costs of using bail
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
36
bond agents and related businesses and are made aware of avail-
able alternatives.
Detention Capacity.—The Committee expects ICE to require
fewer detention beds as it shifts from its historical reliance on a
punitive enforcement model toward a more cooperative compliance
model through the use of the ATD program and case management
services. As ICE transitions to this new model, there will continue
to be a requirement for the short-term detention of some adult asy-
lum seekers presenting at the border whose claims will be proc-
essed initially in ICE facilities according to title 8 laws and regula-
tions. To prevent overcrowding that would create dangerous and in-
humane conditions in CBP’s short-term holding facilities, the rec-
ommendation supports the Administration’s request for an average
daily population (ADP) of 25,000 for single adults for fiscal year
2023.
Detention Contract Transparency.—ICE is directed to continue
the monthly publishing of a consolidated compilation of contract
documents for each of the facilities it uses for immigration deten-
tion purposes, including the most current and complete contract
modification or addendum, any subcontracts, and all bid solicita-
tion requests. Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment
of this Act, the ICE Office of Acquisition Management shall brief
the Committee on the status of complying with this requirement.
Additionally, the Committee directs ICE to publish:
(1) pre-occupancy inspection reports, full inspection reports,
Technical Assistance Reviews, and unredacted inspection re-
ports (unless required to protect personally identifiable infor-
mation);
(2) reports indicating whether a facility is scheduled for fol-
low-up inspections including future Technical Assistance Re-
views;
(3) the most current and complete contract modifications or
addendums, any subcontracts, and all bid solicitation requests;
(4) requests for Information (RFIs) and Requests for Pro-
posals (RFPs) for any new or extended ICE detention contracts;
and
(5) a consolidated compilation of all contract documents for
each of the airline contracts or subcontracts ICE uses for re-
moval flights, lateral flights, or expulsion flights executed pur-
suant to the Title 42 public health order.
For any information in the contracts ICE claims requires redac-
tion under 5 U.S.C. 552, the Committee directs ICE to provide the
Committee with a written explanation for each such redaction
along with an unredacted version of each such document. ICE shall
refrain from redacting contract records that are released without
redactions in full by local governments that are parties to the con-
tract.
Detainee Forms.—ICE is directed to make every reasonable effort
to provide forms to detained persons in a language in which the
person is conversant, beginning with any forms detained persons
must sign.
Detention Standards for Transgender Detainees.—In cases where
ICE determines that detention is necessary for a noncitizen person
who self-identifies as transgender, the Committee strongly urges
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
the agency to only detain that person in a facility that is contrac-

tually obligated to meet, at a minimum, the requirements described
in Attachment 1 of the June 19, 2015, ICE memorandum entitled,
‘‘Further Guidance Regarding the Care of Transgender Individ-
uals’’, unless such person declines placement in such a facility after
being informed of the opportunity to do so.
Emergency Family Shelters.—The recommendation includes
$25,000,000 for emergency family shelters. The Committee sup-
ports the Administration’s end to the extended detention of families
and notes that ICE’s current short-term custody approach is in-
tended to hold families for 72-hours or less for the purpose of com-
pleting any needed processing documentation; assessing health con-
cerns; and enrollment into ATD and case management services. It
is critical that those activities not occur in CBP holding facilities,
which were designed for the short-term processing of single adults
and are particularly inappropriate for families with children.
Menstrual Hygiene Products in Detention Facilities.—ICE shall
ensure that such products are freely available, as needed, in deten-
tion facilities. ICE shall brief the Committee not later than 45 days
after the date of enactment of this Act regarding the status of
ICE’s compliance with this requirement.
Multiple Funding Sources for Migrant Operations.—The Com-
mittee denies the proposal transfer from ICE to CBP the responsi-
bility for the cost off-site medical claims for migrants in CBP cus-
tody. The Committee is concerned that there appear to be more
than one funding stream to satisfy the same requirements, espe-
cially with regard to the care, custody, processing, and transpor-
tation of recent border crossers. Despite years of Committee at-
tempts to resolve this issue, as far back as House Report 112–492
and through several oversight engagements since, the problem re-
mains.
In lieu of the proposed transfer of funding for migrant medical
costs, the Committee provides this funding to the DHS Chief Read-
iness Support Officer, which shall work with the JRC, ICE, CBP,
the Chief Financial Officer, the Office of General Counsel (as need-
ed), and any other stakeholders to establish a written and enforce-
able policy that clearly delineates roles and responsibilities for the
care, custody, processing, and transportation of recent border cross-
ers. Such policy shall avoid allowing for multiple funding streams
for the same activity. Not later than 60 days after the date of en-
actment of this Act and prior to the date such policy become effec-
tive, CRSO shall provide a brief to the Committee on the policy.
Pregnant, Postpartum, and Lactating Women.—ICE is directed to
provide semiannual reports on the total number of pregnant,
postpartum, and lactating women in ICE custody, including de-
tailed justification for the circumstances warranting each such de-
tainee’s continued detention and the length of her detention. These
anonymized reports shall be made publicly available on the ICE
website.
Reliance on Gang Databases.—The Committee looks forward to a
briefing on the forthcoming evaluation of the accuracy of ICE data-
bases used to issue immigration detainer requests, which shall be
provided not later than 30 days after its completion.
Removal and Detention Reporting.—ICE shall continue to submit
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
data on the removal of parents of U.S.-born children semiannually,
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
38
as in prior years, and shall also report semiannually on removals
of former members of the armed services.
Additionally, ICE is directed to provide a semi-annual report to
the Committee detailing the number of individuals, by field office,
who are detained by ICE for removal from the United States but
are subsequently determined to be U.S. citizens, along with the av-
erage and median lengths of stay in detention for such individuals.
The report should also describe ICE’s process for adjudicating
claims of U.S. citizenship by individuals it arrests for removal from
the United States; major impediments to more quickly resolving
such claims; and ICE’s efforts to mitigate those impediments. The
first report is due within 90 days of the date of enactment of this
Act.
Reporting on Criminality and Enforcement Priorities.—ICE shall
provide monthly briefings on detention and removal actions as out-
lined in the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 117–
103. This reporting shall differentiate individuals detained or re-
moved as a result of interior enforcement efforts versus those from
CBP encounters at the border.
Segregation in Detention.—The Committee remains concerned
with the misuse of segregation in ICE detention, especially for vul-
nerable and special populations. Within 90 days of the date of en-
actment of this Act, ICE is directed to brief the Committee on the
status of implementing the recommendations in the October 21,
2022, OIG report entitled, ‘‘ICE Needs to Improve Its Oversight of
Segregation Use in Detention Facilities’’ (OIG–21–01). ICE should
continue to report on these populations as outlined in the explana-
tory statement accompanying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act.
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS).—The Committee rein-
forces the value of the SIJS program in protecting abused, aban-
doned, and neglected children whose best interests are to remain
in the United States, as determined by a state juvenile court. The
Committee urges ICE to prioritize implementation of its victim-cen-
tered approach guidance and maximize utilization of deferred ac-
tion to further the goals of this classification.
Mission Support
The recommendation provides an increase of $44,074,000 above
the request, which includes the following adjustments: $9,074,000
to restore enhancements from the fiscal year 2022 funding Act and
reject a proposed reduction to achieve undefined efficiencies for the
Office of Professional Responsibility; and $35,000,000 for the body
worn camera program.
Body Worn Cameras (BWC).—The recommendation provides
$35,000,000 to allow ICE to implement the Department’s new BWC
policies, including the development of agency guidance and training
for ICE personnel. In developing its guidance and policies, ICE
should use any results from its BWC pilot program. Not later than
60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, ICE shall brief the
Committee on the timeline for implementation and deployment of
cameras to ICE personnel. This briefing should also include a dis-
cussion of any anticipated civil liberties or other concerns that may
present challenges; how the availability of recorded footage will
comply with Freedom of Information Act requirements; specific ac-

39
promise undercover criminal investigations; and activities where
the use of body-worn cameras will be of particular benefit to the
safety and wellbeing of officers, agents, detained individuals, and
the public.
Office of Detention Oversight (ODO).—The Committee is encour-
aged by ODO’s fiscal year 2022 progress, including: planning to
conduct additional, unannounced inspections; reviewing compliance
with each detention standard not less than once every three years
at each facility; to expand ODO’s oversight to facilities that detain
individuals for 72-hours or less; and conducting reviews and inspec-
tions of any special or emerging facilities and programs. Not later
than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, ODO is di-
rected to brief the Committee on Appropriations, the House Judici-
ary Committee, and the House Committee on Oversight and Gov-
ernment Reform on its updated plan for detention facility inspec-
tions.
ICE is reminded that the detailed results of these inspections
shall be promptly published on a public-facing website, redacted as
needed to protect any personally identifiable information, along
with a plan of action and milestones to address any deficiencies
that were identified during the inspection. The status of addressing
such deficiencies shall be validated by OIDO and be updated on the
ICE website not less that quarterly.
Consistent with direction provided in prior years, the ICE Direc-
tor shall have sole authority to approve detention standard waivers
and shall notify the Committee of any such waiver within three
business days of approval. Additionally, ICE shall report publicly
on a quarterly basis on any waivers issued, including the justifica-
tion for each such waiver.
Office of the Principal Legal Advisor
The recommendation provides the requested $402,314,000 for the
Office of the Principal Legal Advisor, including the requested PC&I
resources for additional OPLA facilities to correspond with new Ex-
ecutive Office of Immigration Review locations.
Protecting Separated Families.—OPLA attorneys shall, as appro-
priate, resolve removal proceedings for separated families through
the use of stipulations and DHS shall expeditiously adjudicate hu-
manitarian parole requests submitted by or on behalf of separated
and removed family members seeking to enter the United States.

The recommendation includes the following increases above the
request: $94,147,000 to continue staffing at certain exit lanes;
$6,854,000 to maintain fiscal year 2022 staffing levels for Surface
Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR) teams;
$4,000,000 for pipeline cybersecurity activities; and $4,500,000 for
Federal Flight Deck Officer and Crew Training.
The recommendation includes the following decreases to the re-
quest: $4,446,000 for the Real ID program management office;
$9,425,000 for on-person algorithm development that was pre-
viously funded above the request in fiscal year 2022; $22,344,000
for credential authentication technology, which the recommenda-
tion funds in the PC&I account; and $376,148,000 for repricing of
personnel system changes.
Acquisition Staffing.—The Committee includes $5,000,000 above
the request to hire additional support staff to accelerate the open-
ing of a new checked baggage qualification window.
Biometric Identity Validation Tools.—The Committee supports
the development of biometric identity validation tools by both the
private and public sector to improve security and facilitate the pas-

lighted the necessity for the Office of Biometric Identity Manage-
ment, TSA, and CBP to continue funding and expanding technology
programs to decrease touchpoints for domestic and international
passengers while also protecting personal identifying information.
Federal Flight Deck Officer and Crew Training.—The Committee
provides $25,399,000 for Federal Flight Deck Officer and Crew
Training, including $3,000,000 to support continuation of initial
training and $1,200,000 for expanded recurrent training. Not later
than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, TSA is di-
rected to brief the Committee on Federal Flight Deck Officer
(FFDO) and Crew Training program enrollment, the backlog of
FFDO candidates awaiting initial training, utilization numbers for
FFDO recurrent training, FFDO firearms recertification training,
and plans to mitigate discrepancies between the President’s budget
request and resource requirements.
Modernization and Interoperable Gateway System Communica-
tions Pilot Program.—The Committee anticipates a briefing on the
feasibility, potential benefits, cost, and schedule of the Moderniza-
tion and Interoperable Gateway System Communications Pilot Pro-
gram, as required in House Report 117–87.
National Deployment Force.—No funding enhancement was in-
cluded in the request for the National Deployment Force (NDF) in
the fiscal year 2023 request, despite a 300 percent increase in NDF
officer deployments thus far in fiscal year 2022. The NDF supports
airport screening operations during emergencies, seasonal de-
mands, severe weather conditions, or increased passenger activity
requiring additional screening personnel above those normally
available at airports. Not later than 90 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, the Committee directs TSA to provide a briefing
on the increased demand for the NDF workforce, which shall in-
clude a detailed budget and staffing profile for fiscal years 2021
through 2023.
Personnel System Changes.—Most TSA personnel currently par-
ticipate in a TSA-specific pay structure that provides compensation
at rates significantly lower than similar jobs in the federal civil
service. The Administration has proposed changes to the TSA sys-
tem to make TSA pay commensurate with other federal agencies,
and to extend other equivalent rights and protections. The Com-
mittee supports these changes as a matter of basic fairness to TSA
personnel, who play a critical and physically demanding role in en-
suring the safety of air transportation, and also because it will help
address TSA’s long-standing recruitment and retention challenges.
The Administration proposed to pay for this change to the TSA
pay system through a change to current law that would end the di-
version of a portion of passenger security fee revenue to the Treas-
ury. Unfortunately, the Committee is unable to effect that statu-
tory change in a way that would help make available additional re-
sources for fiscal year 2023. Nevertheless, the Committee rec-
ommends $615,872,000 for the proposed personnel initiatives, an
amount calculated to allow a transition to the new pay system not
later than April 1, 2023.
Screening Technology Maintenance.—The Committee is aware of
the recommendation contained in a December 2019 GAO report
(GAO–20–56) for TSA to implement a process to ensure screening
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
technologies continue to meet detection requirements after deploy-

42
ment. Without such a process, performance can degrade over time
and the risk of system failure increases. The Committee directs
TSA to develop a Post Implementation Review (PIR) process for
each screening technology, to include the performance of the detec-
tion chain. Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of
this Act, TSA is directed to brief the Committee on its progress in
development and implementing the PIR process.
Surface Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response (VIPR).—
The Committee recognizes that VIPR teams provide critical assist-
ance to state and local law enforcement agencies to better protect
airports, mass transit hubs, and other transportation facilities. The
recommendation includes funding to fully sustain this program in
fiscal year 2023.

Qualified Products List.—TSA has not opened a qualification
window for checked baggage inline screening systems since 2015.
In order to take advantage of technological improvements since
then, TSA directed to expedite the update of requirements for
checked baggage screening equipment, and to consider establishing
a program for enhanced capability within the checked baggage mis-
sion space to ensure U.S. airports have access to the best screening
technology available from the Transportation Security Equipment
Industry. The Committee provides $5,000,000, above the request in
the O&S Mission Support PPA to hire additional support staff to
accelerate the opening of a new checked baggage qualification win-
dow. Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
TSA shall brief the Committee on the status of implementing such
a program and the plan to establish a new qualification oppor-
tunity for industry.

deployability; $9,600,000 for MH–65 parts inventory; $10,000,000
for tactical communications recapitalization.
No funds are provided in the proposed Contingency PPA; con-
sistent with the fiscal year 2022 funding Act, all funds are instead
distributed across the other PPAs.
The Committee continues a provision allowing for the movement
among PPAs of funding identified by the Coast Guard as sup-
porting the Department of Defense for enduring overseas missions.
The Coast Guard shall notify the Committee not later than 15 days
following any use of this authority.
Ballast Water Management and Invasive Species.—The Com-
mittee encourages the Coast Guard to expand enforcement of its
regulations on ballast water management to prevent the introduc-
tion and spread of invasive species, including through biological as-
sessments and ballast water testing. The Committee is concerned
that it has not yet received the report on this issue required by

mation on the progress of these programs.
The Committee also directs the Coast Guard to include an esti-
mate of the receipts to be deposited in the Housing Fund for the
budget year and a plan for the expenditure of those funds in its an-
nual budget justifications. Any deviations from the plan shall be re-
ported to the Committee not fewer than 15 days before the obliga-
tion of associated funds.
Vessels
Fast Response Cutter (FRC).—The recommendation provides
$131,000,000 for the FRC program, an increase of $115,000,000
above the request for FRCs funded in prior years to cover class-
wide activities, including economic price adjustments related to the
rise in material and labor costs and for post-delivery missionization
costs.
National Security Cutter (NSC).—The Committee provides
$147,000,000, which is $87,000,000 above the request, for the NSC
program. This funding will support post-delivery activities to
missionize and operationalize NSCs 10 and 11.
Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC).—The recommendation provides the
requested $650,000,000 to continue the program of record for these
critical assets. The Committee directs the Coast Guard to continue

described in the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law
117–103 as part of the required quarterly acquisition briefings.
Polar Security Cutter (PSC).—The Committee provides
$257,200,000 for the PSC program, an increase of $90,000,000
above the request for the remaining cost of long lead time mate-
rials and the start of construction of a third PSC. The Committee
recognizes the strategic importance of an expanded U.S. presence
in the polar regions, especially the Arctic. The Committee directs
the Coast Guard to continue to provide additional program and
schedule details quarterly, as described in the explanatory state-
ment accompanying Public Law 117–103 as part of the required

gion before the first PSC enters service. The recommendation in-
cludes the requested funding of $125,000,000 for the acquisition of
a commercially available polar icebreaker to serve as an interim
measure. The Committee notes that both 14 U.S.C. 1151 and 10
U.S.C. 8679 include waiver provisions for vessels not constructed in
the United States. In order to conduct a full and open competition,
the Coast Guard shall expand its source selection criteria to in-
clude commercially available polar icebreaking vessels that may re-
quire such a waiver. The Coast Guard is directed to brief the Com-
mittee not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this
Act on an updated procurement plan.
The Committee is concerned about the potential cost to fully
missionzie a commercially available polar icebreaker for Coast
Guard operations. Prior to the obligation of any funding for vessel

Appropriation, fiscal year 2022 .................................................. +380,686,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2023 ................................................ +411,600,000
The recommendation includes $308,775,000 above the request to
sustain fiscal year 2022 enhancements and $132,055,000 above fis-
cal year 2022 levels to sustain investments made in the American
Rescue Plan Act of 2021, (Public Law 117–2). Additionally, the rec-
ommendation provides $124,455,000 in new capability enhance-
ments, including: $91,500,000 for the Cybersecurity Division;
$21,800,000 for the Infrastructure Security Division; $1,890,000 for
Risk Management Operations; and $3,620,000 for Mission Support.
Of the total amount provided for this account, $28,293,000 is avail-
able until September 20, 2024, for the National Infrastructure Sim-
ulation Analysis Center (NISAC).
CISA is directed to continue to provide quarterly budget and
staffing briefings as described in the explanatory statement accom-
panying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public Law 117–103).
CISA Review.—Section 1745 of the ‘‘William M. (Mac) Thorn-
berry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021’’
(Public Law 116–283), directed the Secretary of Homeland Security
to ‘‘conduct a comprehensive review of the ability of the [Cybersecu-
rity and Infrastructure Security] Agency to fulfill—(A) the missions
of the Agency; and (B) the recommendations detailed in the report
issued by the Cyberspace Solarium Commission.’’ The report is to
include a comprehensive evaluation of whether CISA has the per-
sonnel and resources necessary to carry out its growing mission,
and it was due to Congress on January 1, 2022. The Committee un-
derstands that several factors have led to delays in producing this
report. Those factors notwithstanding, continued delay hinders
Congress’s ability to make informed decisions about resourcing the
agency. Accordingly, the Committee expects the report to be deliv-
ered not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
Cybersecurity
Accreditation of Third-Party Cybersecurity Service Providers.—
The Committee recognizes that, while a robust market of private
sector cybersecurity providers is necessary to meet demand from
vulnerable entities and protect national critical functions from cy-
bersecurity threats, critical infrastructure organizations may lack
the expertise and/or the information necessary to identify and se-
lect highly qualified providers. The Committee encourages CISA to
continue efforts to develop standardized requirements for and ac-
credit third-party cybersecurity service providers and make avail-
able the list of such providers to federal agencies, SLTT govern-
ments, and critical infrastructure organizations. The recommenda-
tion includes $5,000,000 above the request to expand this effort to
include vulnerability assessment and incident response providers.
Civilian CyberCorps.—The Committee looks forward to the brief-
ing required by House Report 117–87 on the development of a plan
to recruit, train, and educate personnel; shift military veterans into
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
federal service upon discharge from active duty or engage reserv-

54
ists in civilian cyber workforce roles; manage digital careers; and
set standards for digital workforce qualifications.
Collaborative Analysis of Cyber Threat Indicators.—The Com-
mittee recognizes the need to develop shared situational awareness
of cybersecurity risks and cybersecurity threats across the public
and private sectors. Therefore, the Committee supports the use of
funds appropriated to Mission Systems Engineering Environment
for the identification, purchase, development, and deployment of
tools and analytical software that can be applied and shared across
CISA to query, receive, manipulate, transform, and display data
and information on cybersecurity risks and cybersecurity threats
and to enable collaborative analysis and cross-correlation of such
data and information at the speed and scale necessary for rapid de-
tection and identification.
Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity Shared Services Pilot Pro-
gram.—The Committee is concerned with the exposure of the na-
tion’s critical infrastructure to cyber threats and vulnerabilities
and the potential impact to national security and national critical
functions from damaging cyber intrusions. Therefore, the rec-
ommendation includes $15,000,000 above the request for the devel-
opment of a pilot program to make available scalable commercial
cybersecurity shared services that critical infrastructure entities
can utilize to detect and prevent cybersecurity threats and mitigate
vulnerabilities more effectively. These shared services may include
both capabilities currently provided to federal civilian agencies and
new services tailored to address specific cybersecurity risks facing
critical infrastructure.
Cyber Defense Education and Training Program (CDET).—The
recommendation includes $17,300,000 above the request to support
CDET, of which $5,000,000 is for the Federal Cyber Reskilling
Academy; $2,500,000 is for the National Initiative for Cybersecu-
rity Education; $3,000,000 is for grants or cooperative agreements
for non-traditional training providers to provide apprenticeships,
certification programs and other opportunities to create pathways
into the cyber workforce; and $6,800,000 is for continuing invest-
ments in cybersecurity education programs targeting the kinder-
garten through 12th grade (K–12) community, including the Cyber-
security Education and Training Assistance Program (CETAP).
CISA is encouraged to support a mix of geographically diverse
higher education institutions, including in non-contiguous states,
that are focused on connecting K–12 learners and environments
with post-secondary education and resources.
The Committee notes that the request once again proposes to
eliminate CISA funding for these programs. While the request indi-
cates that CISA would work with the National Science Foundation
(NSF) to build and strengthen the national cybersecurity work-
force, there are no identifiable parallel efforts in the NSF budget
request. The Committee looks forward to the briefing required in
the explanatory statement accompanying the fiscal year 2022 fund-
ing Act (Public Law 117–103) regarding a funding strategy for
these requirements.

Incentivizing the development of programs that provide initial pro-
fessional experience and hands-on training should be among the
key priorities of these efforts.
Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure.—The Cyber
Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 (CIRCIA)
(Public Law 117–103) mandates that CISA publish a Notice of Pro-
posed Rulemaking in the Federal Register within 24 months of en-
actment of that Act, and issue a final rule 18 months later, to im-
plement mandatory cyber incident reporting for all critical infra-
structure owners and operators. A subset of these owners and oper-
ators, to be defined in the rulemaking, will be required to report
any cyber incident to CISA within 72 hours and any ransom pay-
ment within 24 hours. To support CISA’s rulemaking, outreach, re-
ceiving and sharing reports, analyses, and report aggregation re-
quirements as required by CIRCIA, the recommendation provides
$45,000,000 above the request. Not later than 60 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, CISA shall brief the Committee on
the necessary resource requirements to ensure full compliance with
CIRCIA.
Cyber Sensor Capabilities.—CISA is encouraged to continue
partnering with other government agencies (e.g., the Department of
Energy) to provide real-time monitoring; advanced warning of
threats, including advanced persistent threats (APT); and detection
of attacks on Operational Technology (OT) systems, including Su-
pervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and Industrial
Control Systems (ICS) as part of the broader CyberSentry program.
Cyber Threat Intelligence ‘‘As-a-Service’’.—The recommendation
includes $2,500,000 above the request to enable CISA to continue
efforts funded in fiscal year 2022 to enhance its cyber threat intel-
ligence ‘‘as-a-service’’ capabilities through CISA’s Cybersecurity
Shared Services Office (CSSO). These capabilities should leverage
commercial threat intelligence to provide cyber intelligence infor-
mation and support sharing operations across the agency. These
capabilities should provide actionable intelligence, including in-
sights derived from threat intelligence overlaid on the digital foot-
prints of target organizations and critical infrastructure sectors to
highlight critical cyber risks. Not later than 120 days after the date
of enactment of this Act, CISA shall brief the Committee on the
rollout of these shared service offerings. Within the briefing, CISA
shall also propose options to enable advanced, contextual tipping
and queuing under CISA’s cybersecurity shared service offerings,
as well as deliver enriched cyber threat intelligence data for fed-
eral, state, and commercial partners.
Cybersecurity and Information Retrieval.—The federal govern-
ment has a broad responsibility to develop a strategy for improved
information retrieval that prioritizes assessments of voluminous
unstructured data and gathered intelligence and can identify
human-computer interactions that signal optimal analyst perform-
ance or are predictive of future performance. Not later than 120
days after the date of enactment of this Act, CISA shall brief the
Committee on its progress toward the development of this strategy,
to include anticipated resources needed to improve search engines
for optimal retrieval and curation of enterprise digital content.
Cybersecurity Assessments.—The Committee encourages CISA to
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
continue to support vulnerability reduction efforts across critical in-

56
frastructure sectors to combat cyber incidents against U.S. critical
infrastructure entities, to include critical small- and medium-sized
manufacturers.
Cybersecurity Briefings.—The Committee directs CISA to con-
tinue providing semiannual briefing on the National Cybersecurity
Protection System and Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation pro-
grams, as described in House Report 116–180.
Cybersecurity Insurance and Data Analysis Working Group.—Not
later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, CISA
shall brief the Committee on the status of establishing a public-pri-
vate cybersecurity insurance and data analysis working group, as
described in House Report 117–87.
Cybersecurity Support for CISA.—The Committee recognizes the
outsized demand for American cybersecurity professionals, which
has hindered CISA’s ability to fully address the nation’s cybersecu-
rity vulnerabilities and directs CISA to continue to work with the
Department of Defense (DoD) to supplement CISA’s efforts as nec-
essary to respond to the increasing number of intrusions, particu-
larly those originating in Russia or China.
Endpoint Detection and Response Technologies.—The Committee
believes that a competitive, open, and transparent product selection
process is critical to the effectiveness of the centrally-located End-
point Detection and Response (EDR) technologies initiative man-
dated by Executive Order 14028 and encourages the Department to
continue to evaluate and select a range of high-performing EDR
platforms for use at federal civilian agencies through this initiative.
Evaluating Expansion of CSSO Support.—CISA’s CSSO provides
federal civilian agencies, state fusion centers, and select informa-
tion sharing and analysis centers with no-cost access to commercial
cyber threat intelligence and services. This model provides im-
proved cybersecurity to a constituency that may lack the expertise
or other resources to fully manage a comprehensive information
technology security program, particularly given increasing cyber
threats. The Committee believes that participation in CISA’s pro-
gram by parties that work with DoD could reduce cybersecurity
risk to such parties, as well as improve the overall effectiveness of
the federal cybersecurity protection effort.
The Committee directs CISA to collaborate with DoD to: examine
opportunities partner on commercial cyber threat intelligence
shared services; assess the extent to which parties working with
DoD are presently participating in or protected by CISA’s pro-
grams; and consider approaches to expand participation across a
greater number of such parties. CISA and DoD shall provide a joint
recommendation to the House and Senate Appropriations Commit-
tees on a proposal to reach these parties not later than 90 days
after the date of enactment of this Act.
Evaluating Federal Cybersecurity Planning and Strategy.—The
Committee looks forward to receiving the overdue briefing required
under this heading in the explanatory statement accompanying the
fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public Law 117–103).
Federal Network Resilience.—As noted in last year’s report,
CISA’s ability to discover and guide remediation of critical
vulnerabilities across federal civilian executive branch agencies is
hindered by limited situational awareness that is overly dependent

eral civilian internet-accessible cyber terrain. To effectively become
the operational lead for federal civilian cybersecurity, CISA is di-
rected to continue adopting processes and state-of-the-art tech-
nology similar to those used by DoD for its Internet Operations
Management. Accordingly, the recommendation includes
$67,714,000 above the request to continue efforts funded in fiscal
year 2022 for attack surface management and federal vulnerability
response. The Committee looks forward to receiving the briefings
required in House Report 117–87 and the explanatory statement
accompanying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public Law 117–
103).
Hardening Critical Infrastructure and SLTT Attack Surfaces.—
The recommendation includes $6,000,000 above the request for at-
tack surface visibility and national vulnerability incident response
to improve situational awareness of internet-accessible attack sur-
faces related to non-federal, critical infrastructure and SLTT net-
works. This situational awareness will enable proactive vulner-
ability notification and other targeted services to these entities that
voluntarily subscribe to applicable CISA-provided services. Not
later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, CISA
shall brief the Committee on the implementation status of its plan
to deploy an attack surface evaluation capability intended to pro-
vide maximum visibility and guidance to these non-federal entities
through voluntary partnerships. The briefing should include an as-
sessment of how CISA is leveraging both government-developed
technologies and commercially available solutions to deploy this ca-
pability.
Integrated Cyber Center.—In furtherance of Section 1731 of the
William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116–283), the Committee looks
forward to receiving the study required on the potential for better
coordination of federal cybersecurity efforts at an integrated cyber-
security center within CISA.
Mobile Threat Defense for Federal Civilian Networks.—The Com-
mittee was pleased to see mobile device security included as a cen-
tral component of zero trust architecture implementation by CISA
and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in their respec-
tive zero trust guidance documents. The Committee is concerned
about the number of unprotected government devices without mo-
bile threat defense, which are vulnerable to zero-day attacks,
among other threats. The Committee encourages CISA to work
with OMB and the federal civilian executive branch agencies to
continue to mitigate the threats posed on mobile devices, their
users, and the federal networks to which they are connected.
Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS–
ISAC).—The recommendation includes not less than $38,000,000
for the MS–ISAC to sustain and expand the program’s capabilities
and expertise, to include SLTT election security support via the
Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center;
mis- and disinformation mitigation capabilities; endpoint detection
and response; malicious domain activity blocking and reporting; ex-
pansion of the MS–ISAC cyber incident response team and its ca-
pabilities; continuing a National Prevention Pilot to provide an un-
classified Unified Threat Management service for election and

and staffing plans for the MS–ISAC within the quarterly budget
and staffing briefings described above.
Private Sector Engagement in Cyber Training.—Not later than
180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, CISA shall brief
the Committee on how the federal government can leverage private
sector partner expertise and best practices for cyber training within
CISA’s CDET program. This briefing shall propose recommenda-
tions, including potential opportunities for partnership with private
sector partners, to support cybersecurity training and education
programs. CISA shall also outline its approach for addressing this
initiative in future budget requests or legislative proposals.
Protective Domain Name Service (DNS).—The recommendation
includes $15,000,000 above the request to continue support for the
operation of a centralized federal DNS egress service that was first
funded and established in fiscal year 2022.
Threat Hunting.—The recommendation includes $41,246,000
above the fiscal year 2022 level to further increase CISA’s threat
hunting capabilities, to include optimizing threat hunting oper-
ations, intelligence analysis, and threat actor persona and cam-
paign modeling. This funding is intended to increase CISA’s capac-
ity to support defensive cyber operations and incident response
across federal civilian agencies and non-federal networks, including
SLTT governments and critical infrastructure organizations, and to
support faster development of proactive guidance based on intel-
ligence and learned behaviors after the positive identification of a
compromise. Within 180 days of the date of enactment of this Act,
CISA shall provide a briefing to the Committees on the total threat
hunting services and incident response engagements it supported
in fiscal year 2022, to include the services offered and the level of
engagement required for each.
Zero Trust Architecture Implementation.—The Committee sup-
ports CISA’s efforts to spearhead the adoption of zero trust prin-
ciples across agency environments, beginning with an emphasis on
identity and access management and device management, inclusive
of enterprise use of endpoint detection and response technologies.
The Committee encourages CISA to continue this work by begin-
ning planning in fiscal year 2023 for more mature zero trust imple-
mentations that adhere to all the basic tenets described in NIST
Special Publication 800–207—Zero Trust Architecture, including
wide collection and use of information about the current state of as-
sets, network infrastructure, and communications to improve an
agency’s security posture.

Bomb Disposal Technician Training and Technology Training
Events (TTEs).—To keep pace with evolving threats and ever ad-
vancing technology development, the recommendation includes an
increase of $2,000,000 for TTEs for the bomb technician commu-
nity. The Office for Bombing Prevention shall use this funding to
hold a minimum of four events to be conducted across the country
that bring together federal and SLTT agencies and industry. These
TTEs shall leverage existing partnerships between the Depart-
ments of Homeland Security, Justice, and Defense to expedite the

and military bomb technicians and validate special response unit
capability assessment data. Not later than 120 days after the date
of enactment of this Act, CISA shall brief the Committee on its ef-
forts to conduct these annual TTEs across the country. This brief-
ing shall include schedules to conduct a minimum of four TTEs and
provide an estimate of the total program cost.
National Cyber Exercise Program.—In furtherance of Section
1547 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2022 (Public Law 117–81) which established the National Cyber
Exercise Program (NCEP) within CISA, the recommendation pro-
vides $13,800,000 above the request to fully execute this role. This
funding will supply CISA with best-in-class cybersecurity exercise
capabilities to put CISA’s NCEP on par with the National Exercise
Program administered by FEMA.
School Safety.—The Committee is concerned by the range of com-
plex and evolving threats to the safety of America’s youth in
schools and institutions of higher learning across the nation. Mass
shootings like the tragedy in Uvalde, TX; the rise in bomb threats
to the nation’s high schools and Historically Black Colleges and
Universities; and other incidents of violence highlight the per-
sistent threats facing our schools, students, and staff. Through the
Federal School Safety Clearinghouse and SchoolSafety.gov website,
CISA’s School Safety Task Force partners with the Departments of
Homeland Security, Education, Justice, and Health and Human
Services to develop and deploy products, resources, and tools that
help raise awareness of these threats within the academic commu-
nity, and help the community increase its security and resilience
in response to these threats.
The recommendation includes $6,000,000 above the request to
allow CISA to expand its school safety services and product offer-
ings to better serve the 50 million students and over 130,000 public
and private K–12 schools across the country. Not later than 180
days after the date of enactment of this Act, CISA shall brief the
Committee on its strategy and plans to address the wide range of
complex and evolving threats to the nation’s schools. The briefing
shall include a breakout of the funding and staffing resources dedi-
cated to these efforts.
Additionally, not later than 30 days after the date of enactment
of this Act, CISA, jointly with USSS’s National Threat Assessment
Center, shall brief the Committee on their current efforts to en-
hance school safety, including guides, tools, threat and vulner-
ability assessments, training exercises, and any other efforts. The
briefing shall include an assessment of the impact of each of these
efforts and shall also include a discussion of strategies to help edu-
cation institutions and communities recover from the impacts of
these events.
Emergency Communications
First Responder Emergency Medical Communications.—The rec-
ommendation provides $4,000,000 above the request, rejecting the
proposed reduction, for CISA to administer and expand competitive
grants for SLTT merit-based demonstration projects and technical
assistance offerings that support the implementation of the Na-

proaches to interoperable emergency medical communications in
rural areas.
Resilient Next Generation 911 (NG911) Ecosystem.—Beginning
not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the
Department shall include the NG911 acquisition program in its
quarterly briefings required by Section 106 of this Act.
Integrated Operations
Security Advisors.—The Committee reminds CISA of the require-
ment to report on the strategy and implementation plan for ex-
panding regional capacity, to include a workload staffing model, as
required in House Report 117–87.
Risk Management Operations
Continuity of the Economy Plan.—The recommendation provides
$349,000 above the request for the continued development of a
Continuity of the Economy Plan, as required by section 9603 of the
William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116–283).
Cybersecurity Insurance and Data Analysis Working Group.—Not
later than 45 days after the date of enactment of this Act, CISA
shall brief the Committee on the status of creating a public-private
working group to help develop frameworks and models for under-
standing and pricing cyber risk and to identify areas of interest for
pooling public and private sector data that can inform better, more
accurate risk models, as required in House Report 117–87.
Election Security.—The Committee reiterates its concerns regard-
ing election-related misinformation, disinformation, and
malinformation targeting Black voters and other communities of
color and again urges CISA to engage the expertise of relevant civil
rights organizations in developing resources and strategies for in-
creasing the resilience of communities of color, non-English speak-
ers, and other targeted communities against such attempts at ma-
nipulation. CISA shall provide a briefing to the Committee regard-
ing its observations and outreach on such matters not later than
180 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
National Critical Functions (NCFs) Analytic Capability.—The
recommendation partially restores the proposed reduction from fis-
cal year 2022 levels for NCFs analytic capability. The Committee
looks forward to having a robust conversation with the National
Risk Management Center (NRMC) regarding the value the center
provides, project plans for developing and transitioning analytic
models to an operational division within CISA, and the overall
strategic vision of the center. The Committee is also interested in
learning more about the status of the NRMC’s efforts to decompose
NCFs into subfunctions and the schedule for transitioning these
into impactful tools for decision making. Additionally, the Com-
mittee is concerned about recent reports from GAO and the RAND
Corporation highlighting that critical infrastructure owners and op-
erators were either unaware of the NCFs or were unsure of the ap-
plicability of the NCFs framework to the infrastructure they pro-
tect. Further, Congress has yet to receive the National Risk Reg-
ister, which was expected in 2019. The Committee looks forward to
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
an update on the status of receiving this product.

Prioritization of Critical Infrastructure.—Not later than 180 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, CISA shall brief the Com-
mittee on its efforts to prioritize the cybersecurity risks of entities
and assets and plans for developing standardized metrics to ensure
consistency in applying risk-based cybersecurity support to critical
infrastructure. The briefing should include a robust examination of
the processes and criteria used to identify such entities, as well as
current staffing levels and any other related lines of effort. It
should also include a rigorous assessment of the progress achieved
and a preliminary assessment of resources, including authorities,
needed to progress further. Lastly, the briefing shall include a ro-
bust examination of potential obstacles that may hamper the agen-
cy’s ability to carry out this mission.
Small Manufacturing Cybersecurity Support.—The Committee
encourages CISA to continue to explore opportunities to partner
with the Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, the
National Institute for Standards and Technology, and the Manufac-
turing Extension Partnership (MEP) Centers—particularly MEPs
designated as Defense Manufacturing Communities—to leverage
expertise and help small manufacturers protect controlled unclassi-
fied information within the supply chain, respond quickly to crip-
pling cyber-attacks and theft of intellectual property, and prepare
for Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. The Committee
also encourages CISA to assist MEPs in establishing priorities for
their cybersecurity risk management initiatives.
Systemically Important Entities (SIE) Outreach and Engagement
Support.—The recommendation provides $1,890,000 above the re-
quest to support agency-wide efforts to engage with and support
SIEs. Specifically, the funding will allow CISA to establish an
agency-level SIE outreach initiative to engage with prioritized crit-
ical infrastructure owners and operators identified by the NRMC.
Through this initiative, CISA will develop and implement cus-
tomized engagement roadmaps for SIEs; facilitate prioritized SIE
access to relevant CISA product and services; support NRMC ef-
forts to facilitate the sharing of actionable, relevant, and timely in-
formation with SIEs; and enhance coordination and communication
between Sector Risk Management Agencies and CISA Regions in
outreach and engagement with SIEs.
Threats of Extreme Weather Events to Cybersecurity Infrastruc-
ture.—CISA shall continue to provide regular briefings on the im-
plementation of an overall strategy to address extreme weather
risks to cybersecurity infrastructure, as described in House Report
117–87.
Translation of Mis-, Dis-, and Mal-information (MDM) Mate-
rials.—The Committee is encouraged by the work of CISA’s Elec-
tion Security Initiative in combating foreign election interference
and its commitment to engage with Spanish and non-English
speaking communities. CISA is directed to continue its work trans-
lating the MDM materials posted to its website for public dissemi-
nation in Spanish and, as needed, other languages.

with mitigation planning resources and recognizes the important of
energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives in these efforts.
FEMA is encouraged to analyze, consolidate, and streamline its
publicly available Hazard Mitigation Planning resources to in-
crease accessibility and utility for communities, to include a con-
cise, actionable list of mitigation steps that communities can take
to make their energy systems more resilient and renewable.
Environment-Based Mitigation.—The Committee recognizes that
environment-based mitigation measures—such as the creation of
wetlands, conservation easements, and natural flood plains to slow
the flow of rivers, creeks, and streams—are innovative tools for
mitigating the severity of future floods in areas such as the
Tittabawassee River Watershed in the Great Lakes Bay Region. In
addition to flood protection, mitigation measures offer both aes-
thetic and recreational value and provide a variety of environ-
mental and conservation benefits, including erosion control, species
habitat, and improved air and water quality. The Committee urges
FEMA to continue to coordinate with the Department of Agri-
culture, Environmental Protection Agency, National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as
well as state, local, and tribal governments and business and non-
profit stakeholders, on developing and supporting conservation and
environment-based flood mitigation measures to reduce the impact
of floods on communities, lives, and livelihoods.
Natural Hazard Mitigation Infrastructure.—The Committee is
aware that rehabilitation or establishment of natural infrastruc-
ture, including but not limited to marshes, wetlands, mangroves,
dunes, and other geologies similar to the Driftless Area, can im-
prove resiliency, reducing damage from flooding and coastal storm
surges and providing effective floodplain management. Such nat-
ural infrastructure can also have long-term beneficial impacts on
topography, soils, water quality, wetlands, floodplains, coastal re-
sources, aquatic resources, and public health and safety in coastal
areas. The Committee urges FEMA to continue to engage with
other federal and non-federal stakeholders to develop and support
conservation and environment-based flood mitigation measures and
to utilize mitigation grant funds for natural infrastructure projects,
consistent with the directive under this heading in House Report
117–87.
Post-Disaster Capacity-Building.—Post-disaster recovery requires
sufficient personnel to ensure buildings can be safely occupied and
that repair and reconstruction are conducted appropriately. Al-
though section 1206 of Public Law 115–254 authorizes the use of
funding for these activities, personnel remain in short supply. The
Committee urges FEMA to support and partner with national non-
profit organizations—including through both programmatic assist-
ance and direct technical assistance—to increase awareness of and
outreach to post-disaster building safety evaluators, teams, and or-
ganizations and to deliver training, education, certification, and
mutual aid agreement development activities that, collectively, will

evaluators, teams, and organizations. Recognizing the direct rela-
tionship between rapid and effective post-disaster building safety
evaluation and overall community resilience, the Committee en-
courages the Agency and its federal interagency partners to fully
implement section 1206 with all relevant external stakeholders.
Urban Area Flooding.—The fiscal year 2020 funding Act sup-
ported a pilot grant program to help local government grants en-
hance the mapping of urban flooding. The Committee reminds
FEMA of the requirement to provide a briefing on this program as
required by House Report 117–87.
Preparedness and Protection
Alerts to Individuals with Limited English Proficiency.—The
Committee is concerned about the ability of Limited English Pro-
ficiency (LEP) individuals to access emergency alerts. As the lead
federal entity with responsibility for the Emergency Alert System
(EAS) and Wireless Alert System messages, FEMA’s Integrated
Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) plays a critical role in
helping ensure recipients can read and understand these messages.
Within 30 days of the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA is di-
rected to brief the Committee on the steps it can take and is taking
to ensure these vital messages can be accessed by LEP individuals.
Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC).—The Com-
mittee has heard concerns from states about FEMA’s interest in
placing additional requirements on EMAC related to the National
Qualification System (NQS) that may unnecessarily burden EMAC
and it is users. The Committee supports the NQS and recommends
the proposed increase for the One Responder System and NQS.
However, the funding enhancement for NQS should not be con-
strued to in any way support activities that interfere with the
state-to-state relationship afforded through EMAC or place require-
ments on the Compact administrator related to NQS. In any fur-
therance of NQS, FEMA should ensure stakeholder input is incor-
porated into final guidance and processes and that the Compact is
in no way hindered by NQS requirements.
Emergency Management Professionalization.—The recommenda-
tion includes increases above the request of $305,000 for the Emer-
gency Management Accreditation Program (EMAP) and $370,000
for the Certified Emergency Manager (CEM) program. FEMA has
committed to increase the nation’s overall emergency management
capabilities at all levels of government, as well as the private sec-
tor, the nonprofit sector, and among individual emergency manage-
ment professionals. EMAP and the CEM program are essential
credentialing programs to help measure the capabilities and im-
prove the performance of emergency management programs and in-
dividual emergency managers.
Wireless Emergency Alerts.—The Committee recognizes the im-
portance of Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) to warn the public
about extreme weather events, including extreme heat and extreme
poor air quality. The Committee encourages FEMA to continue to
work with SLTT governments to educate and remind them of their
ability to provide alerts about extreme heat and extreme poor air
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
quality events.

Response and Recovery
Disaster Assessment Technologies.—The Committee is aware of
commercial technologies that integrate real-time and near real-
time data and high-resolution imagery to create an integrated
multi-dimensional digital environment that supports rapid damage
assessments and more effective reporting systems. Within 120 days
of the date of enactment of this Act, the Office of Response and Re-
covery (OR&R) is directed to brief the Committee on the benefits
and feasibility of integrating hi-resolution imagery and three-di-
mensional simulation capabilities into its emergency response tools.
Ground Station Testbed.—The Committee recommendation in-
cludes $10,000,000 above the request to develop response ground
station testbed for acquiring, processing, and analyzing data from
small satellite-based, aerial, unmanned aerial, and un-attended
ground sensors to inform and speed disaster response decision
making. FEMA is encouraged to work with industry partners and
to leverage Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s technical expertise,
ground station infrastructure, scalable high-performance com-
puting, and mission support experience.
IT Systems Modernization.—The Committee recognizes the vital
function of IT systems and the necessity of IT modernization for
OR&R to carry out its mission. Unfortunately, FEMA acquisition
program baselines have not been sufficient to achieve meaningful
IT modernization. The subsequent IT shortcomings lead to security
vulnerabilities, increased costs, capability gaps from unmet re-
quirements, technical obsolescence, risks not adequately addressed,
and reduced responsiveness. Legacy IT systems also increase the
risks of non-compliance with requirements and audits, reduce the
Agency’s ability to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse, and perpet-
uate poor reporting functionality.
The Committee directs FEMA’s Chief Information Officer (CIO)
and the Associate Administrator of OR&R to brief the Committee,
within 90 days of the date of enactment of this Act, on unmet re-
quirements for modernizing essential OR&R systems that directly
support FEMA’s mission.
Plastic Products.—Plastics are a critical material used in protec-
tive sheeting, emergency kits, and other resources relied upon dur-
ing major disasters and emergencies, including the COVID–19 pan-
demic. Within 120 days of the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA
shall brief the Committee on its sources for protective sheeting,
emergency kits, and other plastic base resources and what, if any,
U.S.-based alternatives to foreign plastic products are commercially
available, with a particular focus on bio-based and other environ-
mentally friendly alternatives.
Post Disaster Fuel Availability.—The Committee recognizes the
importance of fuel supplies in the aftermath of a disaster and is
concerned that insufficient refined fuel reserves, fragile supply
chains, and other impediments to timely regional access threaten
emergency response capabilities. In 2014, the Department of En-
ergy Office of Energy Policy commissioned a report on U.S. Fuels
Supply Infrastructure Vulnerabilities and Resiliency. FEMA, in its
2020 National Preparedness Report, highlighted insufficient capa-
bilities of government to access fuel and perform ‘‘National Critical
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
Functions’’ due to susceptible supply chains, and its 2021 National
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
67
Preparedness Report calls for strategic investment in longterm
‘‘National Critical Function’’ resilience strategies to reduce risk
during disasters. Within 120 days of the date of enactment of this
Act, FEMA is directed to brief the Committee on the steps it and
its interagency partners, including the Department of Energy, are
taking to ensure the availability of fuel supplies in the aftermath
of a disaster.
Urban Search and Rescue (USAR).—The Committee recommends
the requested funding level for USAR to fully support the 28 USAR
Task Forces, including resources to recapitalize critical communica-
tions equipment necessary to conduct life-saving search and rescue
operations and to sustain swift water and chemical, biological, radi-
ological, and nuclear rescue operations.
Mission Support
Faith and Neighborhood Partnerships.—The Committee rejects
the proposed realignment of funding for the Office of Faith and
Neighborhood Partnerships from FEMA to the Office of Partner-
ship and Engagement, which would require explicit authority from
Congress. The requirement for such authority comes from the Post
Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006 (Title VI of
Public Law 109–295) and section 506 of the Homeland Security Act
(6 U.S.C. 316), which were enacted as a result of previous efforts
to remove FEMA functions.
Preparedness Grant Evaluations.—The Committee reminds
FEMA of the requirement in House Report 117–87 to provide a
plan for the use of funding provided in the fiscal year 2022 funding
Act to conduct evaluations on the use of preparedness grant fund-
ing, including a plan for requiring reporting on deaths or injuries
resulting from the use of grant-funded equipment, supplies or ma-
terials; on any use of grant funds to acquire or use surveillance
technology; and on how grant recipients are providing appropriate
safeguards for the protection of privacy and civil liberties.

upgrades for state and local networks; and $10,411,000 for con-
struction, facilities, and asset improvement projects at the Mount
Weather Emergency Operations Center (MWEOC).
Financial Systems Modernization (FSM).—The Committee is con-
cerned that the FEMA’s transition from its legacy financial man-
agement system to a new system could negatively impact reim-
bursements to SLTTs and nonprofit applicants. During FSM devel-
opment and implementation, the Committee encourages FEMA to
provide for flexibility on deadlines in instances where there are
good faith efforts to comply.

Budget Request Recommendation
Total, Federal Assistance (including transfers) ................................................. $3,555,489,000 $4,091,619,000
Aging Fire and Emergency Response Vehicles.—The Committee is
aware that, due to funding shortfalls and the rising cost of fire-
fighting vehicles, communities around the country continue to oper-
ate equipment well beyond their recommended replacement dates.
In the city of Chicago, for example, 40 percent of firefighting en-
gines and ladder trucks have exceeded their useful lifespan. Al-
though the average fire engine in Baltimore is at the end of its 8-
year recommended lifespan, the current replacement cycle there is
16 years. The Committee encourages FEMA to consider the re-
placement of fire and emergency response vehicles as a priority in
establishing criteria for awards under the Assistance to Firefighter
Grants program.
Assistance to Firefighter Grants.—Recognizing the economic and
operational hardships caused by the current pandemic, an adminis-
trative provision is included the bill to allow FEMA to waive the
matching and maintenance of expenditure provisions for the Assist-
ance to Firefighter Grants program. The Committee expects that
the Administrator will use the discretion granted in section 309 to
relieve the economic and operational hardships caused by the pan-
demic.
Countering Domestic Violent Extremism.—As part of the funding
notice for the fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022 State Homeland
Security Program (SHSP) and Urban Area Security Initiative
(UASI) grant programs, the Secretary designated combating domes-
tic violent extremism as a National Priority Area (NPA) on which
state and urban area grant recipients would be required to allocate
7.5 percent of their total grant funds. Within 120 days of the date
of enactment of this Act, FEMA is directed to brief the Committee
on how states and urban areas used SHSP and UASI funding in
support of this NPA.
Continuing Training Grants.—The total under this heading in-
cludes $12,000,000 for Continuing Training Grants to support com-
petitively awarded training programs to address specific national
preparedness gaps such as cybersecurity, economic recovery, hous-
ing, and rural and tribal preparedness. Of this amount, not less
than $3,000,000 shall be prioritized to be competitively awarded for
FEMA-certified rural and tribal training.
Crude Oil by Rail.—FEMA is encouraged to give priority consid-
eration to grants for planning, training, and equipment to fire-
fighters who are responsible for crude oil by rail and ethanol by
rail derailment and incident response to help meet the needs of our
most vulnerable communities and first responders.
Emergency Response Training.—The Committee recognizes the
importance of FEMA’s education, training, and exercise programs
in improving the nation’s response to extreme weather events and
natural disasters. Given the unique challenges underserved, rural,
and remote communities face in training for emergencies, the Com-
mittee encourages FEMA training programs to support initiatives
that serve rural and remote communities and help them prepare
for and respond to extreme weather events.
Firefighter Mental Health.—The Committee recognizes the tre-
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
mendous stresses placed upon our first responders, a population
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
70
that has seen an increase in suicides and mental health struggles
in recent years. The Committee encourages FEMA to continue to
place a high priority on funding for mental health wellness pro-
grams through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program.
Next Generation Warning System (NGWS).—The recommenda-
tion includes $40,000,000 for the NGWS as part of IPAWS. The
first priority of the NGWS program is to help public media entities
replace aging infrastructure that is essential to their role in civil
defense and public safety missions. The program also supports
these investments by these entities in new technology needed to
enhance alert, warning, and other public safety communications
systems to ensure resilience, service to underserved populations,
and the ability to meet the evolving nature of public alerting chal-
lenges. The Committee expects FEMA to work with the Corpora-
tion for Public Broadcasting to implement this program for public
broadcasting entities as defined in 47 U.S.C. 397(11).
School Safety.—School hardening measures are eligible activities
under UASI and the SHSG program. Funds may be used for bullet
resistant doors and glass; hinge-locking mechanisms; immediate
notification to emergency 911 systems; mechanisms that provide
real time actionable intelligence directly to law enforcement and
first responders; installation of distraction devices or other counter-
measures administered by law enforcement; and other measures
determined to provide significant improvement to school physical
security. The Committee encourages FEMA to work with states
and school districts to increase awareness of these funding opportu-
nities.
Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response.—The bill
continues a provision from prior years to allow FEMA to waive the
matching and maintenance of expenditure provisions for the Staff-
ing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program.
The Committee expects the Administrator to use the discretion
granted in section 307 as much of possible to relieve the economic
and operational hardships caused by the current pandemic.
Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP).—The TSGP supports
efforts to address the highest transit security risks through invest-
ments in security infrastructure, such as security cameras, and
training, including surveillance training. The Committee is aware
that many TSGP applicants have been unsuccessful in getting
grant awards to address transit security risks, while other grantees
have at times received awards in recurring years to continue oper-
ational activities. The Committee encourages FEMA to consider
giving priority toapplicants that have not received an award within
the previous three years. An increase of $5,000,000 above the re-
quest is recommended for TSGP in the bill to allow FEMA to make
awards to additional applicants.
Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI).—The Implementing Rec-
ommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 requires the
FEMA Administrator to conduct an annual assessment of the rel-
ative threat, vulnerabilities, and potential consequences from acts
of terrorism faced by each of the 100 most populous metropolitan
statistical areas in the United States. Based on this assessment,
the Administrator designates high-risk urban areas that are eligi-
ble for UASI grants. While the factors included in this assessment
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
are defined in statute, the specific criteria that inform these factors
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
71
and the methodology used to carry out the assessment are at the
discretion of the Secretary and the Administrator, who review them
on an annual basis. The Committee directs the Secretary to make
UASI awards consistent with the prioritization instructions in the
explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 116–260.
Wood Chipper Programs.—The Committee understands that
wood chipper programs are an effective means of fuel reduction in
communities under threat from wildfire because they assist resi-
dents in maintaining defensible space around their homes, other
structures, and access routes and enable communities to easily dis-
pose of large amounts of potential fuel. The Committee encourage
FEMA to continue to fund wood chipper programs in high-risk com-
munities through the Fire Prevention and Safety Program.

propriations Act, fully uses the Committee’s disaster response allo-
cation adjustment as provided by House Resolution 1151.
2017 Hurricane Recovery.—The Committee remains concerned
about the overall pace of recovery from the 2017 hurricanes in
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Congress provided FEMA
with additional authority to expedite and expand the scope of dis-
aster recovery in the Balanced Budget Act of 2018 (Public Law
115–123), the Disaster Recovery Reform Act of 2018 (division D of
Public Law 115–254), and the Additional Supplemental Appropria-
tions for Disaster Relief Act, 2019 (Public Law 116–20). House Re-
port 116–458 and House Report 117–87 reminded FEMA to make
full use of this authority.
The Committee appreciates the quarterly interagency briefings
provided on recovery from these 2017 hurricanes and directs that
future briefings address the impact of the pandemic on disaster re-
covery efforts and how FEMA intends to fully use its authority in
support of those efforts and an update on the investments made in
the electrical infrastructure in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Is-
lands.
Access to Disaster Assistance.—FEMA is reminded of the briefing
requirements in House Report 117–87 and the Joint Explanatory
Statement accompanying Public Law 117–103 related to disadvan-
taged individuals and communities. When providing those brief-
ings, FEMA shall include information on steps the Agency is taking
to expand the types of documentation disaster survivors can pro-
vide to demonstrate eligibility.
Breastfeeding.—The Committee recognizes that breastfeeding
confers meaningful clinical benefits for babies and mothers while
reducing healthcare costs and continues to urge FEMA to ensure
that breastfeeding mothers impacted by disasters have access to
breastfeeding services and supplies through its Critical Needs As-
sistance, Other Needs Assistance, and other programs. In the after-
math of a disaster, FEMA is directed to work with SLTT, other fed-
eral agencies and volunteer organizations to ensure that disaster
survivors and service providers have information on support avail-
able for nursing equipment and supplies.
Bilingual and Multi-lingual Staff.—The Committee encourages
FEMA to continue hiring bilingual and multi-lingual staff to meet
the language needs of disaster survivors.
Debris Removal.—The Committee reminds FEMA of the briefing
requirement in House Report 117–87 and expects FEMA to provide
the briefing expeditiously.
De-Energization.—The Committee is aware that the increasing
severity and frequency of extreme weather events has prompted ef-
forts to reduce the risks of catastrophic wildfires by adopting ‘‘de-
energization’’ protocols, under which electrical power is temporarily
shut off for businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, and resi-
dences. The Committee encourages FEMA to reimburse the cost of
generators for individuals who are affected by de-energization pro-
tocols implemented as a result of a presidentially declared major
disaster.
Direct Federal Assistance (DFA).—The Committee reminds
FEMA of the briefing requirement in House Report 117–87 on DFA
related to mutual aid and expects FEMA to provide the briefing ex-
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
peditiously.

75
Disaster Recovery Reform Act Implementation.—The Committee
recognizes the efforts FEMA has made to implement the Disaster
Recovery Reform Act of 2018 (division D of Public Law 115–254,
DRRA) and the positive impact that has made for states, commu-
nities, and disaster survivors. Unfortunately, and as noted in
House Report 116–458 and House Report 117–87, a number of pro-
visions in the Act that were immediately effective or have overdue
statutory deadlines have still not been implemented, including sec-
tion 1215 on Management Costs, section 1221 on Closeout incen-
tives, and section 1235 on Additional Mitigation Activities. While
the Committee recognizes that the operational burdens of FEMA’s
response to the pandemic have contributed to delays, the Com-
mittee directs FEMA to implement these provisions expeditiously.
The Committee reminds FEMA about the required quarterly
briefings on the status of the implementation of the Act required
by House Report 117–87 and directs the Agency to immediately
commence these briefings and continue to provide them quarterly
until all requirements of the DRRA have been fully implemented.
The briefings shall include updates on the status of required
rulemakings and the expected timeline for issuing final rules.
Disaster Workforce.—The recommendation includes the proposed
funding for hiring and retention incentives and base pay increases
for FEMA’s responder workforce. Within 60 days of the date of en-
actment of this Act, FEMA shall brief the Committee on a plan for
the obligation of these funds. The Committee also reminds FEMA
of the related briefing requirement in House Report 117–87 and ex-
pects FEMA to provide that briefing expeditiously.
Electric Grid Resiliency.—The Committee reminds FEMA of the
overdue requirement from House Report 116–458 and House Re-
port 117–87 to brief the Committee on alternative methods to re-
pair, rebuild, and fortify disaster-damaged electric grids. FEMA is
directed to expeditiously provide the briefing, which should address
FEMA’s efforts with interagency partners to assess whether elec-
tric poles should comply with American Society of Civil Engineers
standards.
Insurance Not Required by the Stafford Act.—Not later than 60
days after the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA shall brief the
Committee on whether the purchase or maintenance of insurance
by an SLTT government that is not otherwise required under the
Stafford Act will:
(1) impact a recommendation by FEMA to the President to
declare a Major Disaster in such State; or
(2) negatively impact the amount of federal public assistance
the SLTT government would receive or the government’s eligi-
bility for such assistance.
Mitigation Assistance for Disadvantaged Communities.—The
Committee recognizes that FEMA is continuing to expand mitiga-
tion assistance to disadvantaged communities and encourages the
Agency to continue and increase these efforts. This includes pro-
viding community outreach and increased emphasis in competitive
criteria for mitigation programs.
Non-Contiguous States and Territories.—Not later than 120 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA shall brief the Com-
mittee on an assessment of the unique challenges associated with
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
the prompt delivery of public assistance and other FEMA programs
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
76
in response to large-scale disasters in U.S. non-contiguous states
and territories and strategies to address these challenges. The
briefing shall incorporate lessons learned from the 2017 Hurricane
Season and other recent events impacting non-contiguous states
and territories.
Public Assistance Briefings and COVID–19 Assistance.—Although
the Committee recognizes the significant work that FEMA has
done to provide relief during the COVID–19 pandemic, it remains
concerned about reports of prolonged timelines and a lack of trans-
parency in the approval process for project worksheets. The Com-
mittee also notes that the briefing required in House Report 116–
180 on the Public Assistance project worksheet process has not yet
been provided. In House Report 116–458 and House Report 117–
87, the Committee noted that this and other Public Assistance
briefings were overdue, recognizing the operational constraints the
pandemic had placed on the Agency. However, as noted in House
Report 117–87, those constraints are waning. FEMA is directed to
provide the required briefings to the Committee expeditiously. In
addition, within 10 days of the date of enactment of this Act,
FEMA shall brief the Committee on the process for COVID–19
project worksheet approvals.
Western Wildfires.—The length and severity of the wildfire sea-
son seems to be increasing each year with commensurate increases
in the risk to lives and property. While FEMA has a well-estab-
lished program to prepare for the Atlantic Hurricane Season, it is
unclear whether a similarly mature process has yet been developed
or implemented for the Western wildfire season. Within 30 days of
the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA shall brief the Committee
on steps it is taking to better prepare for wildfire seasons. In par-
ticular, the briefing shall address reimbursement eligibility for the
prepositioning of equipment and staff and timelines for reimburse-
ments under major disaster and emergency declarations, as well as
through Fire Management Assistance Grants.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) adjudicates

Budget request, fiscal year 2023 ................................................ ¥250,329,000
The Committee supports the Administration’s request to continue
to increase capacity to address the USCIS backlog, increase
USCIS’s capacity to support anticipated increases in credible fear
interviews and asylum adjudications, and begin to reduce the bur-
den on fee-paying applicants and petitioners of unrelated humani-
tarian programs. However, because the budget request assumes an
unrealistic hiring strategy for asylum-related operations, the rec-
ommendation reduces the Application Processing PPA by
$229,336,000 below the request, which is $260,272,000 above fiscal
year 2022 funding level.
The recommendation does not include the requested $29,313,000
in discretionary funding for information technology and cybersecu-
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
rity. While the Committee supports USCIS’s need to fund these re-

78
quirements, the costs should be built into USCIS’s fee analysis for
cost recovery purposes.
The recommendation rejects the proposed $8,410,000 reduction to
the E-Verify program, which was not adequately justified.
Application Processing.—The Committee continues direction pro-
vided under this heading in House Report 117–87 related to the
timely processing of applications, changes to fee levels, and report-
ing on processing performance.
Asylum Seeker Access to Employment Authorization.—Not later
than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and quarterly
thereafter, USCIS is directed to make available on a publicly acces-
sible website:
(1) the total number of pending employment authorization
applications filed by individuals with pending applications for
asylum or withholding of removal pursuant to 8 C.F.R.
274a.12(c)(8); and
(2) the total number of such applications that have been
pending 60 or fewer days, 61–90 days, 91–120 days, 121–179
days, and 180 or more days.
Budget Justification Materials.—The Committee is disappointed
that the justification materials for the fiscal year 2023 budget re-
quest for USCIS again lack the data and information necessary to
evaluate proposals, requirements and the associated budget esti-
mates and assumptions. For example, the pay and non-pay cost
drivers should be more detailed, and the year-over-year changes for
each of the funding profiles should be more transparently de-
scribed.
Further, the user fee justifications continue to lack important de-
scriptions of planned spending profiles, year-over-year changes, and
cost assumptions. The justifications for these accounts should pro-
vide the same level of detail and analysis as is provided for the De-
partment’s discretionary funding accounts. For example, the jus-
tification lacks detailed budget exhibits for each of the fee PPAs,
the staffing and hiring strategy is not fully described, the plans
and budget assumptions for USCIS’s international operations and
footprint is missing, and the funding and planned outcome meas-
ures for business process improvements and modernization efforts
are not included.
A full understanding of USCIS’s budget strategy, plans, and as-
sumptions are critical to Congress’s oversight responsibilities—re-
gardless of the funding source. The Committee expects these defi-
ciencies to be addressed with the fiscal year 2024 budget justifica-
tion materials or that the necessary program details, funding and
staffing profiles, and other exhibits be submitted concurrently with
the delivery of the fiscal year 2024 budget.
Citizenship Promotion.—The Committee encourages CBP and
USCIS to continue exploring the most effective methods to ensure
that Lawful Permanent Residents arriving at ports of entry are
aware of the benefits of citizenship and the process of becoming a
U.S. citizen, to include self-service kiosks, signage, videos, and
verbal scripts.
Data on Asylum Operations.—USCIS is directed to continue to
make available, on a publicly accessible website in a downloadable,
searchable, and sortable format, a report containing not less than
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
the previous twelve months of semimonthly data on:

(1) the number of noncitizens determined to have a credible
or reasonable fear of—
(A) persecution, as defined in section 235(b)(1)(B)(v) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act; or
(B) torture, as defined in section 208.30 of title 8, Code
of Federal Regulations (as in effect on January 1, 2018);
and
(2) the total number of cases received by U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services to adjudicate credible or reasonable
fear claims, as described in paragraph (1), and the total num-
ber of cases closed.
Such report shall also disaggregate the data described above
with respect to the following subsets:
(1) claims submitted by aliens detained at a U.S. Immigra-
tion and Customs Enforcement family residential center or an
emergency family shelter;
(2) claims submitted by aliens, organized by each subdivision
of legal or administrative authority under which claims are re-
viewed; and
(3) the job series of the personnel reviewing the claims.
E-Verify.—The Committee looks forward to the briefing required
under this heading in the explanatory statement accompanying the
fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public Law 117–103) regarding a plan
for an appeal process for a final non-confirmation within the E-
Verify system, as well as improvements in outreach efforts and
training tools to assist employers in improving the accuracy of in-
formation they submit into the system.
The Committee is concerned that proposed reductions to E-Verify
are premised upon the inability to backfill vacancies, do not ac-
count for addressing process improvements and outreach efforts,
and may result in shortfalls to the program. Accordingly, the rec-
ommendation rejects the proposed cuts.
Electronic Processing.—The Committee continues the require-
ment for USCIS to brief the Committee quarterly on its electronic
processing efforts, as described in the explanatory statement ac-
companying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public Law 117–103),
including its efforts to establish a centralized mechanism for asy-
lum seekers to apply for employment authorization online.
The Committee reminds USCIS of its requirement to review
whether Form I–765 can be more narrowly tailored to reduce pa-
perwork and workloads, as described in the explanatory statement
accompanying the fiscal year funding 2022 Act (Public Law 117–
103), and it looks forward to hearing about the results of this re-
view during the next semi-annual briefing.
Eliminating Confusion in Classifying Job Occupations.—The
Committee urges USCIS to continue to update each of its forms,
both online and paper forms, to ensure that the Standard Occupa-
tional Classification codes are the only occupational codes used.
Fee Waivers.—USCIS is directed to continue its current policy re-
garding the use of full fee waivers for certain applicants, peti-
tioners, and requestors who demonstrate an inability to pay immi-
gration and naturalization benefit application fees, and to provide
partial fee waivers for N-400 applicants who can demonstrate
household income between 150 percent and 200 percent of the fed-
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
eral poverty guidelines and are otherwise ineligible for full fee

80
waivers. USCIS is directed to continue to accept any one of the fol-
lowing items as proof of inability to pay an immigration or natu-
ralization benefit application fee:
(1) documentation of receipt of a means-tested public benefit;
(2) documentation of household income that is at or below
150 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines at the time of
filing (or, in the case of a partial fee waiver, greater than 150
percent but not more than 200 percent of the Federal Poverty
Guidelines at the time of filing an application for naturaliza-
tion); or
(3) documentation of financial hardship, including unex-
pected medical bills or emergencies.
Further, USCIS is directed to maintain naturalization fees at an
affordable level; reduce the backlog of applicants; and reduce the
costs of obtaining replacement certificates of naturalization and
certificates of citizenship, including by cooperating with the De-
partment of State on the screening of derivative citizens, including
international adoptees.
Filipino World War II Veteran Visa Backlog.—Not later than 180
days after the date of enactment of this Act, USCIS shall brief the
Committee on the number of individuals enrolled in the Filipino
War Veteran Parole Program. The briefing shall also discuss oppor-
tunities to shorten the wait times for family members of Filipino
World War II veterans and more quickly process the permanent
resident applications of those enrolled in the Filipino War Veteran
Parole Program, along with any resources and authorities needed.
H–2A and H–2B Visas.—USCIS shall, in coordination with the
Department of Labor’s Office of Foreign Labor Certification, timely
post public information provided by employers on Form I–129 and
associated filings regarding recruiters, recruiting agents, or agen-
cies they plan to use. USCIS shall also establish a process whereby
workers may confirm that they are the beneficiaries of H–2A or H–
2B petitions and can receive information about their own immigra-
tion status, including their authorized period of stay and the status
of any requested visa extensions.
Additionally, the Committee is concerned about the abuses ex-
posed in the H–2A visa program as part of Operation Blooming
Onion. According to the Department of Justice, this was the result
of a multi-year investigation into a human smuggling and labor
trafficking operation that illegally imported Mexican and Central
American workers into brutal conditions on farms in southern
Georgia. To help ensure that steps are being taken to monitor and
prevent similar abuses in the H–2B visa program, USCIS shall
brief the Committee, not later than 60 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, and in coordination with the Department of
Labor, on efforts to prevent fraud and abuse in the H–2A and H–
2B visa programs and efforts to ensure that employers, agents, at-
torneys, and recruiters who have been debarred by the Department
of Labor cannot continue to participate in the programs.
H–2B Visa Program Reporting.—Not later than 60 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, the Department shall report to the
Committee on the distribution of visas granted through the H–2B
program, including a tabulation of the percentage of overall visas

81
with the Department of Labor, shall brief the Committee on the
impacts of the current H–2B visa semiannual distribution on em-
ployers, employees, and agency operations.
Humanitarian Petitions.—The Committee urges USCIS to refrain
from imposing fees on any individual filing a humanitarian peti-
tion, including but not limited to a request for asylum, refugee ad-
mission, protection under the Violence Against Women Act
(VAWA), Special Immigrant Juvenile status, or a T or U visa or
Special Immigrant Visa for Iraqi and Afghan nationals.
International Operations Division.—The Committee urges USCIS
to continue to reevaluate its international footprint requirements to
optimize its ability to meet its mission needs in a cost-effective
manner. Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this
Act, USCIS shall brief the Committee on its international oper-
ations, its reliance on operations in foreign locations, and its plans
for changing its international footprint over the next five fiscal
years, along with estimated budget and operational impacts of such
changes.
Military Naturalization Applications.—The Committee looks for-
ward to the briefing required under this heading in the explanatory
statement accompanying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public
Law 117–103). Additionally, on February 2, 2021, President Biden
issued an ‘‘Executive Order on Restoring Faith in Our Legal Immi-
gration Systems and Strengthening Integration and Inclusion Ef-
forts for New Americans’’ in which he directed DHS and the State
and Justice Departments to partner with the Defense Department
to ‘‘facilitate naturalization for . . . members of the military.’’ Not
later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the De-
partment shall brief the Committee on its progress in imple-
menting this executive order, particularly as it relates to initiating
naturalization during basic training.
Quarterly Budget and Productivity Reporting.—The Committee
looks forward to receiving the first of the quarterly briefings re-
quired under this heading in the explanatory statement accom-
panying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public Law 117–103).
USCIS shall continue to provide these briefings in fiscal year 2023
and shall also include quarterly hiring projections and execution
updates by mission critical occupation, including the associated
funding for those positions. The data shall be disaggregated by
PPA for each USCIS funding source.
Refugee Admissions.—The Department shall update the informa-
tion required under this heading in the explanatory statement ac-
companying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public Law 117–103),
related to staffing, interviews, approvals, and denials, by append-
ing it with fiscal year 2022 data.
Refugees Impacted by the Muslim Ban.—Data released by DHS
and the Department of State as part of a court settlement show
that many refugees who were in the final stages of being resettled
in the United States when the refugee-specific Muslim Ban (Execu-
tive Order 13769) was issued in October 2017 have still not been
able to enter the country. The Committee is concerned that, while
the Muslim Ban is no longer operative, its lingering effects may be
preventing people who were cleared for resettlement in 2017 from
getting to the United States five years later. The Committee urges
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
USCIS to expedite the resettlement applications of individuals who
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00081 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
82
were in the final stages of entering the country when the refugee-
specific Muslim Ban was announced. The Committee further urges
USCIS to review the denials of admission to those refugees who
were ready for travel on the day of the refugee-specific Muslim Ban
and would be here in the United States if it were not for the ban.
Special Immigrant Juvenile (SIJ) Applications.—The Committee
is concerned about the backlog of SIJ applications. Therefore, not
later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, and
quarterly thereafter, USCIS is directed to make the following infor-
mation available on a publicly accessible website:
(1) The total number of SIJ petitions pending before USCIS
and the length of time each case has been pending;
(2) The total number of SIJ adjudications, broken down by
grant or denial and the average length of time SIJ petitions
were pending prior to adjudication, decision, or issuance of a
Request for Evidence (RFE) or Notice of Intent to Deny
(NOID);
(3) The total number of RFEs and NOIDs issued; and
(4) The total numbers of SIJ petitions that have been pend-
ing for 60 or fewer days, 61–90 days, 91–120 days, 121–179
days, and 180 or more days.
Spouse Petitions.—With respect to fiance(e) or spouse petitions
involving a minor party, the Committee continues to direct USCIS
to document the age of the minor party at the time of the civil/legal
marriage, along with the age difference between the parties, with
ages given in months as well as years.
Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program.—
Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
USCIS shall provide a report to the Committee that includes cal-
culations for the prior three fiscal years of the percentage of all
SAVE inquiries from user agencies made pursuant to mandates in
federal law and the percentage related to benefits for which federal
law does not require immigration status verification. In addition,
the report shall provide an overview of the funding profile for the
program, to include total operational costs, the program’s reim-
bursement model, and the extent to which program costs are not
fully recovered by user fees. The Committee expects that this pro-
gram will not rely on fees paid by applicants and petitioners for im-
migration benefits; accordingly, the report shall also include any
plans to achieve full-cost recovery.
Trauma-Informed Support.—The Committee looks forward to the
briefing required under this heading in the explanatory statement
accompanying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public Law 117–
103).

made in the OIG’s January 6, 2022, report (OIG–22–10) regarding
USCIS’s management and implementation of the U Visa program.
Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
USCIS shall brief the Committee on the implementation of the rec-
ommendations included in the OIG report, including its rationale
for not concurring with some of the OIG recommendations.
Virtual Processes and Ceremonies.—The Committee is encour-
aged by USCIS’s efforts to expand remote oaths of citizenship and
naturalization ceremonies and encourages USCIS to work with the
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
Department of Defense (DoD) to ensure that these virtual options

are available for service members who seek to naturalize while sta-
tioned outside of the United States. The Committee looks forward
to receiving the feasibility analysis required by the explanatory
statement accompanying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public
Law 117–103).
Voter Registration for New Citizens.—USCIS shall examine the
feasibility of working with appropriate state and local officials and
agencies to register new U.S. Citizens upon completion of their
oath ceremonies. Such examination shall consider the barriers to
such efforts and examine whether USCIS can electronically trans-
fer voter information to facilitate voter registration upon success-
fully obtaining U.S. Citizenship.
Workload Staffing Modeling.—The Committee looks forward to
the briefing required under this heading in the explanatory state-
ment accompanying the fiscal year 2022 funding Act (Public Law

sources Conservation Service to develop capabilities for maintain-
ing and improving the integrity of the nation’s existing levee and
dam systems.
Port and Maritime Resiliency and Security.—The Committee con-
tinues to recognize the vast data security threat facing the U.S.
Maritime/Port sector and the potential consequences of cyber intru-
sions on mission critical infrastructure and operations. Within the
funds provided, the Committee encourages support for the ongoing
Port and Maritime Resiliency and Security Testbed research pro-
gram to support the design and development of tactics, techniques,
and procedures for effective threat response to critical maritime in-
frastructure.
Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Services.—The federal gov-
ernment has determined that the disruption or manipulation of po-
sitioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services has the potential
to adversely affect the national and economic security of the United
States. In response, Executive Order (EO) 13905—Strengthening
National Resilience Through Responsible Use of Positioning, Navi-
gation, and Timing Services—was published on February 18, 2020.
The EO directs relevant departments and agencies, through DHS,
to develop contractual language based on sector specific PNT pro-
files to be incorporated into federal contracts for products, systems,
and services that integrate or use PNT services. The goal of this
directive is to encourage the private sector to develop new robust
and secure PNT services. The Committee directs the Department
to complete the requirements for federal contracts specified in EO
13905 and provide an implementation briefing to the Committee
not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
Research and Prototyping for IED Defeat (RAPID) Program.—
Within the funding provided, the Committee encourages S&T to as-
sess emerging Improvised Explosive Device (IED) threats, develop
render-safe technologies, and ensure a proper transition to first re-
sponders with appropriate training. Funding would enable the
transition of these new capabilities to help public safety bomb tech-
nicians perform their duties safer and faster in direct support of
DHS components and first responders. Not later than 90 days after
the date of enactment of this Act, S&T shall brief the Committee
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
on the planned obligation of funds for developing and transitioning

technologies to support public safety across the nation, include any
planned funding for RAPID.
Research on Technological Solutions for Fentanyl Detection.—
Within the funds provided, S&T is encouraged to partner with CBP
to develop additional technological solutions to:
(1) target and detect low-purity fentanyl, especially in coun-
terfeit pressed tablets;
(2) enhance targeting of counterfeit pills through nonintru-
sive, noninvasive, and other visual screening technologies; and
(3) improve data-driven targeting to increase seizure rates of
fentanyl and its precursors.
Semiconductor Technology.—The Committee supports continued
advanced research using high resolution magnification to improve
the detection of potential structural defects in emerging semicon-
ductor technologies (including microchips, light emitting diodes,
batteries, and processors) that could allow the unintended manipu-
lation of hardware.
U.S.-Israel Cybersecurity Cooperation Enhancement Program.—
S&T is encouraged to provide up to $6,000,000 for the U.S.-Israel
Cybersecurity Cooperation grant program, as authorized by section
1551 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2022, to support cybersecurity research and development and dem-
onstration and commercialization of cybersecurity technology.
Voting Technologies and Election Data Security Procedures.—The
Committee supports research to ensure that voting software and
hardware is studied and vetted before being used during local,
state, and federal elections. Consistent with prior year direction
and within the resources provided, S&T is encouraged to fund qual-
ity assurance and continuous evaluation research on voting tech-
nologies and election procedures in cooperation with a qualified or-
ganization with experience performing technical audits of statewide
elections systems. In consultation and coordination with the Elec-
tions Assistance Commission and CISA, this investment should in-
clude the development of new tools and training modules to enable
states and localities to ensure that their election systems are se-
cure.
University Programs
The recommendation provides $53,537,000 for University Pro-
grams, which includes $2,500,000 above the request for the Minor-
ity Serving Institutions Program (MSIP).
Centers of Excellence.—The Committee underscores that Emer-
itus COEs remain valuable resources for homeland security science
and technology solutions and training the next generation of home-
land security experts. S&T shall report to the Committee not later
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act on how DHS
is leveraging Emeritus COEs to address homeland security chal-
lenges.
Cross-Border Threat Screening and Supply Chain Defense.—The
Committee continues to encourage S&T to expand research and
analysis on cross-border threat screening and supply chain defense
in support of research on new technologies and capabilities, includ-
ing predictive data analytics, to eliminate disruptions to the food
and agriculture supply chain, and for early detection of public
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
health threats and biothreats.

Education Programs.—The Committee underscores the impor-
tance of MSIP in supporting homeland security related science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics research, and includes
$7,657,000, an increase of $2,500,000 above the request, for the
program. The Committee understands that increased funding will
support student experiential learning opportunities through science
and engineering teaching initiatives, curriculum development, and
scholarships within MSI communities; and increased engagement
with the Nation’s MSIs which include Historically Black Colleges
and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Asian American
and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions, and
Tribal Colleges and Universities.
Mitigating Biological Risks.—The Committee encourages S&T to
work with research universities to develop a national testing capac-
ity to assess vulnerabilities and mitigate biological risks, including
COVID–19, in building air and water handling systems, multi-
building facilities, and wastewater systems. The Committee sup-
ports the development of improved standard methods, processes,
and protocols required for test and evaluation field demonstration,
as well as operational use guidelines or concepts of operation for
technologies claiming to rapidly assess indoor environments for
pathogenic contamination.

TITLE V—GENERAL PROVISIONS
(INCLUDING TRANSFERS AND RESCISSIONS OF FUNDS)
Section 501. The Committee continues a provision limiting the
availability of appropriations to one year unless otherwise ex-
pressly provided.
Section 502. The Committee continues a provision providing that
unexpended balances of prior year appropriations may be merged
with new appropriation accounts and used for the same purpose,
subject to reprogramming guidelines.
Section 503. The Committee continues and modifies a provision
from prior years related to reprogramming limitations and transfer
authority. The Department must notify the Committees on Appro-
priations at least 15 days in advance of each reprogramming of
funds that would:
(1) eliminate a program, project, or activity;
(2) reduce programs, projects, and activities, or personnel, by
ten percent or more; or
(3) increase a program, project, or activity by more than
$5,000,000 or ten percent, whichever is less.
The term ‘‘program, project, and activity’’ (PPA) is defined as
each functional category listed under an account heading in the
Comparative Statement of New Budget Authority (CSBA) table in-
cluded at the back of this report, along with each funding amount
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING
designated for a particular purpose within the statement narrative,
VerDate Sep 11 2014 04:35 Jul 03, 2022 Jkt 047907 PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR396.XXX HR396
94
exclusive of simple references to increases or reductions below the
budget request. Funding for each PPA should not be used for the
purposes of any other PPA. Within 30 days of the date of enact-
ment of this Act, the Department shall submit to the Committees
a table delineating PPAs subject to section 503 notification require-
ments, as defined in subsection 503(f)(1) and this paragraph.
Limited transfer authority is provided to give the Department
flexibility in responding to emerging requirements and significant
changes in circumstances but is not intended to facilitate the im-
plementation of new activities that were not proposed in a formal
budget submission. Transfers may not reduce accounts by more
than five percent or increase accounts by more than ten percent.
The Committees on Appropriations must be notified not fewer than
30 days in advance of any transfer.
To avoid violations of the Anti-Deficiency Act, the Secretary shall
ensure that any transfer of funds is carried out in compliance with
the limitations and requirements of section 503(c). In particular,
the Secretary should ensure that any such transfers adhere to the
opinion of the Comptroller General’s decision in the Matter of: John
D. Webster, Director, Financial Services, Library of Congress, dated
November 7, 1997, with regard to the definition of an appropriation
subject to transfer limitations.
Notifications should provide complete explanations of proposed
funding reallocations, including detailed justifications for the in-
creases and graphics and any specific impact the proposed changes
would have on future-year appropriations requirements, along with
a table showing the proposed revisions to funding and FTE—at the
account and PPA levels—for the current fiscal year, along with any
expected funding and FTE impacts during the budget year.
The Department shall manage its PPAs within the levels appro-
priated and should only submit reprogramming or transfer notifica-
tions in cases of unforeseeable and compelling circumstances that
could not have been predicted when formulating the budget request
for the current fiscal year. When the Department becomes aware
of an emerging requirement after the President’s budget has been
submitted to Congress but prior to the enactment of a full-year
funding Act for the budget year, it is incumbent on the Office of
the Chief Financial Officer to timely notify the Committees. When
the Department submits a reprogramming or transfer notification
and does not receive identical responses from the House and Sen-
ate Committees, it is expected to work with the Committees to rec-
oncile the differences before proceeding.
This section prohibits above-threshold reprogramming actions
and transfers after June 30 except in extraordinary circumstances
that imminently threaten the safety of human life or the protection
of property. If an above-threshold reprogramming or a transfer is
required after that date, the notification should contain sufficient
documentation as to why it meets this statutory exception and
should be accompanied by a certification to that effect by the Under
Secretary for Management.
De-obligated funds continue to be subject to the reprogramming
and transfer limitations and requirements set forth in section 503.
Section 504. The Committee includes a new provision prohibiting
DHS from carrying out the following without a prior notification by
dlhill on DSK120RN23PROD with HEARING

(3) obligating Operations and Support funding to establish or
eliminate an office or other functional unit unless such estab-
lishment or elimination was proposed in the budget or de-
scribed in the bill or explanatory statement.
Section 505. The Committee continues a provision providing that
not to exceed 50 percent of unobligated balances remaining avail-
able at the end of the prior fiscal year for each Operations and
Support appropriation shall have an additional fiscal year of avail-
ability, subject to a section 503 reprogramming notification.
Section 506. The Committee continues by reference a provision
prohibiting funds appropriated or otherwise made available to the
Department to make payment to the Working Capital Fund, except
for activities and amounts proposed in the President’s budget re-
quest.
Section 507. The Committee continues a provision that deems in-
telligence activities to be specifically authorized during the current

order on multiple award contracts totaling more than $1,000,000;
a task or delivery order greater than $10,000,000 from multi-year
funds; or sole-source grant awards. Notifications shall include a de-
scription of projects or activities to be funded and their location, in-
cluding city, county, and state.
Section 509. The Committee continues a provision prohibiting all
agencies from purchasing, constructing, or leasing additional facili-
ties for federal law enforcement training without advance notifica-
tion to the Committees.

provision related to contracting officer’s technical representative
training.
Section 512. The Committee continues a provision prohibiting the

ralization.
(3) AGE ON MARRIAGE TERMINATION DATE.—In the case of a
petition under section 204 initially filed for an alien’s classi-
fication as a family-sponsored immigrant under section

of Representatives and section 308(a)(1)(A) of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974, the following table compares the levels of new
budget authority provided in the bill with the appropriate alloca-

NOTE.—The amounts in this report do not include $1,420 mil-
lion in discretionary budget authority and $137 million in associ-
ated outlays from amounts becoming available in fiscal year 2023
that were previously designated as being for an emergency require-
ment pursuant to a concurrent resolution on the budget. Consistent
with the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, in the House of Rep-
resentatives such amounts do not count against the Committee’s al-
location.
In addition, consistent with the funding recommended in the bill
for disaster relief, in accordance with the Congressional Budget Act
of 1974 (including section 314(g) of such Act), and section 1(f) of H.
Res. 1151 (117th Congress), and after the bill is reported to the
House, the chair of the Committee on the Budget will provide a re-
vised section 302(a) allocation reflecting an additional $19,945 mil-
lion in discretionary budget authority and $1,197 million in associ-
ated outlays for those recommended amounts. That new allocation
will eliminate the technical difference prior to floor consideration.

MINORITY VIEWS
We thank the Chairs of the Full Committee and Subcommittee
for their continued and shared support for many of the programs
critical to securing our nation. However, we have serious objections
and concerns due to the many misguided policies supported by this
bill. We believe the fundamental priorities necessary to secure the
homeland have not been sufficiently funded, and as a result, we
simply cannot support the bill in its current form.
With illegal migration encounters at record high levels, we must
address the immigration crisis before us. Unfortunately, this bill
lays the groundwork for more illegal immigration. The policies of
the Administration and the provisions within this bill to prohibit
the simple enforcement of our existing immigration laws are major
factors that exacerbate the current crisis at the southwest border.
If this bill is enacted, the Department would be incapable of re-
sponding to the immigration crisis at the southwest border and
protecting the country.
For a second year in a row, the House bill attempts to dismantle
bicameral, bipartisan conference agreements made in the past by
including provisions that repurpose prior-year border wall funds for
anything but their intended purpose—constructing barriers. Reliti-
gating previous agreements is counterproductive and time-con-
suming, and cast doubt on every single agreement we make as we
produce these bills each year.
In an effort to improve the bill and address our concerns, we of-
fered amendments to ensure sufficient funding to secure the home-
land, including preserving existing funding previously provided for
constructing a wall along the southwest border; increasing funds
for Operation Stonegarden and helping law enforcement agencies
in border communities work with Customs and Border Protection
to rescue and apprehend migrants abandoned by the cartels; in-
creasing the number of detention beds to hold dangerous criminals;
allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigative offi-
cers to enforce the basic immigration laws on the books; and in-
creasing funding for border security technology consistent with
prior year levels. None of these amendments were adopted.
We risk emboldening the cartels by telegraphing weakness on
border security and our lack of commitment to the robust enforce-
ment of immigration laws. Cartels will take this message, distort
it further, and continue to exploit migrants to line their pockets in
a vicious cycle built on human suffering.
We are committed to ensuring the Federal government and the
Department of Homeland Security meet their responsibilities to the
American people. We remain optimistic that we will be able to
work together to address these issues and funding requirements in
a bill we can support.
