Overview
The Committee recommendation includes $76,154,086,000 in
total discretionary appropriations for the Department of Homeland
Security, including $52,811,000,000 within the bill’s 302(b) budget
allocation, $4,544,086,000 in discretionary appropriations offset by
fee collections, and $18,799,000,000 as a budget cap adjustment for
major disaster response and recovery activities. The overall total is
an increase of $931,023,000 above the fiscal year 2021 total and
$387,333,000 above the President’s budget request. The total with-
in the allocation is $934,000,000 above the fiscal year 2021 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 air and sea fleets, includ-
ing continued support for the Polar Security Cutter and Offshore
Patrol Cutter programs; hire more Secret Service agents and Uni-
formed Division officers to reduce mandatory overtime; expedite
the procurement of more effective imaging technology for the
Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP); help communities develop public health-
focused approaches by providing help to individuals 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 work-
force. The bill also establishes new initiatives, such as a Migration
Analysis Center to assess migration-related programs and policies
and establish integrated planning profiles to inform budget re-
quests and emergent resource requirements.
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
The Committee recommends an increase of $397,372,000 above
the fiscal year 2021 level for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency to better protect federal civilian cyber networks
and better help state and local governments and the private sector
secure both cyber and physical infrastructure, including election in-
frastructure.
Border Security
There is a strong bipartisan consensus on the importance of
homeland security, even if the focus in recent years has too often
been on funding and policy disagreements related to border secu-
rity and immigration enforcement. The COVID–19 pandemic has
reinforced the importance of homeland security beyond the immi-
gration issue, particularly as the Federal Emergency Management
Agency has taken a major response coordination role.
The bill’s recommendation for CBP operations is $653,886,000
above the fiscal year 2021 level and $136,000,000 above the re-
quest, including $35,000,000 for border security technology at and
between the ports of entry; $30,000,000 for cameras, including
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
body-worn cameras and cameras in Border Patrol facilities; and
$23,000,000 to improve conditions in migrant holding facilities.

Within CBP’s Procurement, Construction and Improvements ac-
count, the recommendation includes $142,600,000 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. An additional $170,000,000 is recommended
through the Management Directorate for migrant processing facili-
ties at the border; and $655,000,000 is provided in title V of the
bill for land port of entry construction and modernization.
The bill rescinds $2,063,000,000 from prior-year border barrier
construction appropriations and redistributes those funds to high
priority areas across the fiscal year 2022 bill, including CBP, ICE,
and Coast Guard mission areas.
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 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 keep them in detention.
The bill continues to expand ICE’s reliance on noncustodial, coop-
erative immigration compliance models by increasing funding for
alternatives to detention (ATD) programs. It funds at least two de-
tention facility inspections per year at ICE’s over-72 hours facili-
ties; expands inspections at other detention facilities; and provides
funding consistent with an average daily population in detention
for single adults of 28,500 during fiscal year 2022. This detention
capacity for single adults will allow ICE to arrest, detain, and re-
move individuals who are enforcement priorities without over de-
taining anyone who is determined to be neither a flight risk nor a
threat to public safety or national security.
The bill funds a new Non-Custodial Migrant Shelter grant pro-
gram to support the establishment and operation of shelters at the
border for migrants released from CBP custody, which will include
a separate space for ICE personnel to carry out processing related
to immigration adjudication proceedings and place migrants into
an alternative to detention program with appropriate case manage-
ment services. While CBP will continue to transfer most single
adults to ICE custody for processing, these shelters will replace de-
tention as the primary mechanism for initial processing for families
and vulnerable single adults.
The bill also continues and increases funding for an ATD case
management pilot grant program, overseen by the Office for Civil
Rights and Civil Liberties, which will make its first awards in fis-
cal year 2022 with a combined $20,000,000 in funding.
A modified provision in the bill prohibits the use of funds to dele-
gate federal immigration enforcement authorities under the 287(g)
program to any state or local law enforcement officer for activities
outside of a jail or prison. Under the 287(g) Jail Model, those offi-
cers only use delegated ICE authorities to verify whether someone
who was arrested for a non-immigration offense is potentially re-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
movable and fits an ICE priority removal category; those officers
are then able to place such individuals into removal proceedings

5
and transfer them to ICE custody. The modified provision also re-
quires ICE to withdraw from a 287(g) agreement if the DHS Office
for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties or ICE’s Office of Professional
Responsibility find evidence that a jurisdiction has violated the
civil rights or civil liberties of an individual that was later taken
into ICE custody, absent evidence of mitigating factors.
The bill provides $99,735,000 above the request for Homeland
Security Investigations (HSI) and ensures that HSI resources re-
main focused on criminal investigations by prohibiting its engage-
ment in civil immigration enforcement activities without probable
cause that an individual who is the subject of enforcement action
has committed a criminal offense not solely related to immigration
status.

The recommendation includes increases above the request total-
ing $8,406,000, including increases of $4,700,000 for the Office of
Strategy, Policy, and Plans; $3,500,000 for the Office for Civil
Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL); $410,000 for the Office of the
Immigration Detention Ombudsman (OIDO); and $400,000 for Op-
erations and Engagement (O&E). The proposed realignment of
$604,000 for the Office of Faith and Neighborhood Partnerships to
O&E from FEMA is denied.
Blue Campaign.—The recommendation includes an increase
above the request of $400,000 to the Office of Public Engagement
(OPE) for the Blue Campaign, for a total of $3,000,000 for the pro-
gram in direct appropriations. A department-wide initiative to com-
bat human trafficking, the Blue Campaign has historically been
funded through end-of-year contributions from components, an ap-
proach that is inappropriate for the program’s long-term
sustainment. In addition to this direct appropriation, DHS is di-
rected to account for and propose full, direct funding for program
operations in the justification materials that accompany future
budget submissions.
Border Barrier Mitigation.—The Department’s past use of au-
thority provided in the REAL ID Act (Public Law 109–13) to broad-
ly waive federal and state laws to expedite the construction of bor-
der barriers has resulted in significant, unjustified harms to border
communities, tribal lands, the environment, and wildlife. The Com-
mittee supports the recent decision by the Department to withdraw
active waivers, except for those necessary to address immediate
health and safety concerns, and includes a provision is included in
title II of the bill authorizing the Department to use border barrier
construction funds that become available after enactment of this
Act for the mitigation of these harms. Those funds are in addition
to funds already available for that purpose.
Within 120 days of the dates of enactment of this Act, the Sec-
retary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of
the Interior, shall convene a multi-agency working group that in-
cludes the Department of Agriculture, the Council on Environ-
mental Quality, and other relevant departments and agencies to
identify the impacts of border security infrastructure on local envi-
ronments, wildlife, communities, and tribes. Not later than 240
days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall
provide the Committee with a plan for remediating harmful im-
pacts of such infrastructure, including recommendations about
where existing infrastructure should be decommissioned or altered
in conjunction with alternative approaches for addressing border
security requirements. In carrying out this directive, the Secretary
is directed to consult with local governments, tribes, communities,
scientists, environmental experts, and other stakeholders.

immigration proceedings and to increase participation in these
services, the Committee directs DHS to coordinate with the Depart-
ment of Health and Human Services (HHS) to provide an analysis
of existing programs, including existing case management services
funded through U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and
the recently funded Alternatives to Detention Case Management
Pilot Program to be designed and overseen by CRCL that will pro-
vide these services though Federal Emergency Management Agen-
cy (FEMA)-administered grants to community-based organizations.
Further, DHS and HHS shall explore the feasibility of funding and
managing case management services currently offered by DHS
through agencies or offices within HHS that serve similar popu-
lations.
The Committee directs the departments to provide a briefing
about the results of the analysis and their evaluation within 180
days of the date of enactment of this Act, which shall also include
a recommendation for the appropriate organizational placement for
case management services to serve additional populations through
community-based organizations seeking to provide case manage-
ment and social services focused on fair and equitable outcomes for
individuals and families. The briefing shall clearly outline the risks
and opportunities associated with existing and proposed programs
and mitigation strategies that could be deployed to address those,
and it shall include any funding and staffing impacts.
Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships.—Based on
concerns about the effectiveness and potential negative impacts of
previous departmental efforts on countering violent extremism
(CVE), the Department recently established a Center for Preven-
tion Programs and Partnerships (CP3), which took the place of the
former Office of Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention. The
former approach lacked the confidence of many civil rights organi-
zations and communities with which the Department was attempt-
ing to engage—particularly communities with significant Muslim,
South Asian, and Arab populations. A major criticism of the De-
partment’s earlier CVE efforts was its disproportionate focus on
foreign-supported and foreign-inspired terrorism, with relatively
little emphasis on helping communities prevent violence based on
personal grievances or on racially or ethnically motivated
ideologies, which have been the predominant motivation for violent
attacks over the last few decades and particularly in recent years.
According to CP3, the Department’s current effort is based on a
public health approach to preventing targeted violence and ter-
rorism that is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and grounded in strong empirical evidence for how com-
munities can effectively help prevent violence by providing help to
individuals before they commit a crime or engage in violence. A
central factor in this community-based, public health approach is
the proactive integration of civil rights, civil liberties, and privacy
concerns into every aspect of CP3’s programs and outreach efforts
in collaboration with CRCL, the Privacy Office, and the Office of
the General Counsel.
The Committee notes that CP3 has embedded CRCL experts
within its internal deliberation processes for content-creation, along
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
with a senior CRCL advisor focused on ensuring CP3’s programs
and initiatives maintain a clear focus on the protection of civil

8
rights and civil liberties. In addition, CP3 has initiated a commu-
nity engagement strategy, including outreach to civil rights and
civil liberties advocacy organizations, as a key component in the de-
velopment and implementation of local targeted violence and ter-
rorism prevention frameworks around the country.
The Committee strongly supports this community-based ap-
proach to preventing targeted violence and terrorism and looks for-
ward to regular updates on CP3’s progress.
Chief Medical Officer (CMO).—A general provision is included in
title V that permits the Secretary to use authority established
under section 872 of the Homeland Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 452) to
establish a new executive management office led by the CMO to
better coordinate the Department’s medical and public health poli-
cies and operations. The provision authorizes the transfer to that
office of the functions and position of the current CMO from the
Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office and the depart-
mental workforce health and medical support functions and respon-
sibilities from the Management Directorate.
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 Violent Extremism Review.—The Committee is encour-
aged by the Secretary’s announcement of an internal review to ad-
dress the threat of domestic violent extremism within the Depart-
ment. Within 30 days of the date of enactment of this Act, the DHS
Chief Security Officer (CSO) shall brief the Committees on the sta-
tus of this review, including a description of its methodology, scope,
results, and recommendations.
Facial Recognition Technology.—The Committee is aware of a
DHS component’s use of a commercial facial recognition technology
platform for biometric identification that relies on the extraction of
photographs from social media websites. Within 30 days of the date
of enactment of this Act, the Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans
shall brief the Committee on the Department’s policies and over-
sight of components related to the use of facial recognition tech-
nologies and platforms. The briefing should particularly focus on
how the Department ensures that biometric data obtained through
contracts with commercial entities have not obtained data in viola-
tion of laws, regulations, or commercial agreements related to the
protection of individual privacy.
Family Separation.—The Department must ensure that family
unity is a primary factor when making criminal and civil charging
decisions and, whenever possible and consistent with an assess-
ment that it is in the best interest of a child, that separated family
units are reunited and transported together prior to removal, re-
lease from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody, or
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
transfer to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or
Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) custody. Under no cir-

9
cumstances shall a child be separated from a parent or legal guard-
ian solely to deter migration or promote compliance with immigra-
tion laws.
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.
DHS must ensure that individuals being transferred from CBP to
ICE custody, in CBP or ICE custody, under ICE supervision, or re-
ferred to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for prosecution are
asked about and have opportunities to report family separation in-
cidents; verify the status, location, and disposition of family mem-
bers; and regularly communicate with one another.
The Department should also work with DOJ to establish a mech-
anism for ensuring that any information related to family separa-
tion 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.—DHS has assured the
Committee that it is no longer separating families at the border,
absent indications of abuse or serious criminal activity by an adult
family member. Because current law defines a family as a child ac-
companied by a parent or legal guardian, however, children trav-
eling with other adult relatives are still routinely separated from
them. CBP and ICE shall take the interests of extended family
unity into consideration in determining whether to place such
adults into section 240 removal proceedings in lieu of expelling
them under title 42 authority or placing them into expedited re-
moval, specifically those who would be categorized by ORR as a
category 2—immediate relative.
If such adult migrants are placed into section 240 removal pro-
ceedings based on family unity considerations, the Department
shall ensure that ORR is made aware of the family relationship as
soon as possible to help facilitate and expedite the potential spon-
sorship of those unaccompanied children by the immediate relative
while they both proceed through the immigration adjudication proc-
ess. Specifically, CBP should ensure that its electronic processing
systems are modified to document immediate family relationships
relevant to potential sponsorship of an unaccompanied child.
Family Reunification.—Not later than 90 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit a report to the
Committee detailing the conclusions and recommendations of the
Task Force established pursuant to Executive Order 14011, which
shall include:
(1) the number of children separated from a parent or legal
guardian between January 20, 2017, and January 20, 2021,
and the reasons for the separations;
(2) the number of such children who have been reunited with
such parent or legal guardian, differentiated by the number
and legal status of reunited families present in the United
States and the number reunited outside of the United States;
(3) the number of such children who have not been so re-

States and the number not present;

the provision of services and support to families who were sep-
arated.
An administrative provision is included in title II of the bill that
provides authority to use CBP and ICE Operations and Support
funding to support the reunification of families who were separated
under the so-called ‘‘zero tolerance’’ policy of the prior administra-
tion or were otherwise separated without a valid reason, such as
acting in the best interest of a child when there is evidence of child
abuse. The Department shall provide quarterly updates to the
Committee detailing the use of funding for this purpose, with the
first such report due not later than 30 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act.
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Backlog Reduction Plan.—
The Committee notes that House Report 116–458 directed the De-
partment to update a plan for eliminating the department-wide
backlog of FOIA requests by the end of fiscal year 2022 because the
initial plan failed to include any funding estimates, as required by
House Report 116–80. The Committee expects to receive the up-
dated plan, which was due in late March, as soon as possible.
Homeland Security Academic Advisory Council (HSAAC).—The
HSAAC was formed in 2012 to serve as a convening forum for the
higher education community and homeland security officials to dis-
cuss shared interests and exchange best practices on a range of
issues, including foreign influence, cybersecurity, international stu-
dents and scholars, and emergency preparedness. HSAAC has not
had any public meetings since 2017 and DHS quietly disbanded the
council last year, citing an executive order cutting back on the
number of federal advisory committees. Universities are grappling
with a host of issues within DHS jurisdiction, including processing
delays for international students and concerns about foreign efforts
to influence faculty or gain access to research. By facilitating reg-
ular communications between leaders in the homeland security and
higher education community, the HSAAC can ensure universities
have the information they need to provide a safe and productive
education experience while being kept abreast of real or potential
threats to the academic community. The Committee urges the Sec-
retary to reconstitute the HSAAC as soon as possible.
Humanitarian Response at the Border.—The Committee is aware
that the Department has a Surge Force mechanism in place to de-
ploy volunteer DHS personnel for emergency and disaster response
around the country, as well as to help respond to migrant surges
at the southern border. The Committee directs the DHS Chief Med-
ical Officer (CMO) to collaborate with the Department of Health
and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement (HHS ORR)
and relevant stakeholders to develop a combined Humanitarian Re-
sponse Operating Plan for responding to future migrant surges,
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
particularly those involving large numbers of families or unaccom-
panied children. The plan should include:

11
(1) an assessment of the capabilities and capacity of DHS,
HHS, and relevant stakeholders to provide the specialized
services necessary to prioritize the welfare of children and fam-
ilies while in government custody and help avoid unnecessary
delays in releasing families together on Alternatives to Deten-
tion with case management and releasing unaccompanied chil-
dren to appropriate sponsors;
(2) mechanisms for participating federal agencies to deploy
personnel from across the government to the southern border
as necessary during migration surges, in coordination with af-
fected state and local jurisdictions and national and local non-
government humanitarian organizations, along with an esti-
mate of the funding requirements associated with such deploy-
ment; and
(3) mechanisms for including personnel who are licensed to
provide trauma-informed care, case management, and child
welfare and plans for training other participating personnel in
these areas, including estimates of the funding requirements
for initial and recurrent training.
In developing the plan, the DHS CMO and HHS ORR should also
consult with child welfare experts and organizations to incorporate
best practices into the plan. The Committee directs the DHS CMO
and HHS ORR to submit the plan to the Committee within 180
days of the date of enactment of this Act and to update the plan
annually to reflect new information and lessons learned.
Joint Requirements Council.—The Committee directs the Depart-
ment to continue providing quarterly updates on Joint Require-
ments Council activities.
Joint Task Forces (JTF).—The Committee was alarmed to dis-
cover that the Department deactivated two of its three JTFs, which
were established in 2014 as part of then-Secretary Johnson’s Unity
of Effort initiative and subsequently authorized by Public Law
114–328, without notification to Congress. The absence of JTF–
West, in particular, became evident through an initial lack of co-
ordination in responding to the most recent surge in unaccom-
panied children, family units, and single adults along the south-
west border. The Committee notes that while there has been im-
provement, significant coordination challenges remain, leading to
avoidable undesirable outcomes.
The Committee notes that the OIG released a report (OIG–20–
80) on September 30, 2020, which found that the Department did
not maintain oversight over the JTFs; update policies and proce-
dures related to the JTFs; identify JTF staffing and resource re-
quirements; or identify JTF costs. The Committee directs the De-
partment to provide a briefing, within 30 days of the date of publi-
cation of this Committee Report, on its plans for restoring the JTFs
and addressing the findings of OIG–20–80 or establishing alternate
mechanisms for ensuring that the Department’s law enforcement
components efficiently coordinate their respective roles and respon-
sibilities.
Management Directive 0810.1.—Promptly and thoroughly inves-
tigating allegations of personnel misconduct are critical to ensuring
the integrity, accountability, and transparency of the Department
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
of Homeland Security and its components. In June 2004, shortly
after the Department was first established, the Secretary issued
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
12
Management Directive (MD) 0810.1, outlining the roles and respon-
sibilities of the Office of Inspector General (OIG).This directive re-
quires DHS components to refer all allegations of serious and
criminal misconduct to OIG, which has the right to claim exclusive
jurisdiction over the investigation of such allegations. While such
referrals are appropriate for ensuring third party oversight of the
most serious or systemic investigations, they too often result in
eventual OIG declinations that unnecessarily delay investigations
that component oversight personnel could otherwise carry out.
Over the 17 years since DHS MD 0810.1 was issued, the Depart-
ment and Congress have established a broad framework of over-
sight offices with jurisdiction and authority to investigate per-
sonnel misconduct, including Offices of Professional Responsibility
within TSA, CBP, and ICE that employ criminal investigators with
the authority to investigate allegations of administrative and crimi-
nal misconduct. Most recently, Congress established the Office of
the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, which has broad author-
ity to inspect, review, and investigate matters under its purview.
To ensure DHS has an efficient and effective oversight frame-
work, the Committee directs the Secretary to review MD 0810.1 to
ensure the Department has clearly delineated roles and respon-
sibilities for each of its oversight bodies, while also preserving the
OIG’s independence and authorities granted by the Inspector Gen-
eral Act of 1978. In reviewing this directive, for matters where the
Secretary determines the OIG shall have the opportunity to claim
exclusive jurisdiction, such jurisdiction shall be reviewed to ensure
it is narrowly tailored to ensure that the Department’s other over-
sight functions are able to continue to execute their responsibilities,
such as ensuring that immediate medical needs of detainees are
met at a facility where the OIG is also conducting an investigation
into medical malpractice. The Secretary shall brief the Committees
not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act on
the interim findings of this review and issue a revised directive, as
warranted by the review, not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this Act.
Migration Analysis Center.—The Committee is concerned about
the lack of data- and evidence-based decision-making models and
analyses to inform policy and resource decisions impacted by the
U.S. immigration system. Annual budget submissions and emer-
gency budget requests lack a detailed, consistent articulation of
documented planning profiles for anticipated migration at the bor-
der that can be used to identify various resources requirements for
CBP, ICE, USCIS, ORR, DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration
Review, the Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs, and
the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administra-
tion. Further, there continues to be a lack of integrated policy anal-
ysis and data collection requirements across all relevant agencies
to objectively evaluate policies and programs—such as whether
changes to temporary work visa programs impact migration be-
tween the ports of entry or whether United States Agency for
International Development investments in the northern triangle
countries are having the intended stabilization impact to curb eco-
nomic migration.
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
To address this challenge, the recommendation provides an in-
crease of $4,700,000 above the request for the Office of Strategy,

Policy, and Plans to establish an interagency Migration Analysis
Center (MAC) in partnership with the Immigration Data Integra-
tion Initiative (IDII). While the scope of the MAC should mature
and evolve over time to continue the study of migration-related pro-
grams and policies, the initial focus shall be to establish integrated
planning profiles to inform budget requests and emergent resource
requirements analysis. The MAC shall include participation across
DHS, as well as other agencies whose missions intersect with im-
migration-related policies and programs. Additionally, the MAC
shall engage with academia; state, local, tribal, and territorial com-
munities; the private and non-profit sectors; and research commu-
nities to better understand migration-related issues. The MAC
shall also work to establish an independent peer-review process for
its models and other work products to improve and strengthen
their validity and utility for decision making.
To the extent required data are available, the MAC shall utilize
the OIS/IIDI Statistical Immigration Data System of Record, which
is designed to serve as a single authoritative source of enterprise-
wide statistical immigration data, while working with OIS to ad-
dress any deficiencies or weaknesses in such data. To ensure suc-
cess, MAC staff, along with the broader IDII data collection effort,
shall have uninhibited access to query federal data management
systems for the purposes of developing models and analyses and
shall also be consulted as part of the IDII data governance process
on changes to data systems to ensure that necessary information
is being collected for its analyses.
Additionally, the MAC shall examine the utility of the Migrant
Model Integration decision support tool developed by S&T’s System
of Systems Operational Analytics in collaboration with CBP’s En-
terprise Analytics Division. The Committee is encouraged by the
progress made on this tool and recommends the MAC work with
S&T to build upon its capabilities to meet its analysis, planning,
and modeling requirements.
Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Under Secretary for the Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans
shall consult with the Committee on plans for establishing the
MAC, which shall include a general vision and overview; a sched-
ule of anticipated milestones for the upcoming fiscal year; and a
budget and staffing plan, to include any anticipated procurement-
related actions.
Minority Serving Institutions.—The Secretary is encouraged to
enhance partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Univer-
sities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Asian American and Native
American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and
Universities, and other minority-serving institutions with respect
to administering the research and development activities of the De-
partment by:
(1) encouraging the participation of such colleges, univer-
sities, and institutions in the research, development, testing,
and evaluation programs and activities of the Department;
(2) facilitating partnerships between such colleges, univer-
sities, and institutions and private sector stakeholders, na-
tional laboratories, and other academic institutions in areas
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
important to homeland security, including cyber security,
emergency management, and counter terrorism; and

14
(3) distributing funds through Science and Technology Direc-
torate (S&T) grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts to
such colleges, universities, and institutions for enhancements
in areas important to homeland security, including cyber secu-
rity, emergency management, and counter terrorism.
The Department is directed to brief the Committee on these ef-
forts within 120 days of the date of enactment of this Act. The
Committee notes that the recommendation includes $7,657,000 for
the Minority Serving Institutions Program (MSIP) through the
S&T Research and Development account, an increase of $2,500,000
or 33 percent.
Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL).—The Com-
mittee recommends $42,160,000 for CRCL, $3,500,000 above the
request, including an increase of $750,000 for management and ad-
ministration of the Alternatives to Detention Case Management
Pilot Program; $500,000 for additional capacity to support the par-
ticipation of women from partner nations in government capacity
building, peace keeping, law enforcement, and border security, as
authorized by the Women, Peace, and Security Act; and $5,961,000
for additional staffing. Of the funds provided for additional staffing,
$3,711,000 supports the requested staffing increases and an addi-
tional $2,250,000 is for the Compliance Division.
CRCL shall ensure that all individuals whose complaints it in-
vestigates receive information within 30 days of the submission of
a final report or recommendations memorandum, including find-
ings of fact, conclusions, and recommendations. CRCL shall also
ensure that such information is included in its annual report to
Congress, consistent with individual privacy protections.
The Committee reminds CRCL of the directive in the explanatory
statement accompanying the Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act, 2021 (Division F of Public Law 116–260) re-
quiring the office to conduct an analysis of component language ac-
cess plans and looks forward to a briefing on the results of that
analysis, including recommendations for improvement, as soon as
possible.
Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman.—The rec-
ommendation includes $20,304,000 for the Office of the Immigra-
tion Detention Ombudsman, an increase of $410,000 above the re-
quest to maintain current services. The annual report of the Immi-
gration Detention Ombudsman required by Public Law 116–93
shall include descriptions of the office’s activities, findings, and rec-
ommendations, including copies of complaint forms and descrip-
tions of complaint mechanisms; the number and types of com-
plaints received, investigated, resolved, and referred to the ICE Of-
fice of Detention Oversight, CRCL, or the OIG. In addition, the
Ombudsman shall brief the Committee quarterly on the office’s ac-
tivities.
Oversight of CBP Surveillance Technology.—Within 120 days of
the date of enactment of this Act, the Committee directs DHS to
make available on a public website the following information on
each type of border security surveillance technology in use between
the ports of entry:
(1) the type of technology, including its mechanism for col-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
lecting data and the type of data it collects;
(2) the justification for the use of the technology;
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
15
(3) potential privacy rights impacts that could result from
the use of the technology and requirements in place to mitigate
such impacts;
(4) privacy or civil liberties reviews submitted to or carried
out by CRCL or the Privacy Office;
(5) oversight mechanisms in place to ensure adherence to
privacy laws and policies;
(6) the data collection, handling, and disposal policies for the
technology;
(7) any contract or other agreement for the acquisition or use
of the technology, with appropriate redactions for proprietary
information; and
(8) any memoranda of understanding with other agencies re-
lated to the use of the technology and accompanying justifica-
tion for each agreement.
DHS shall also make such information available for any new
type of surveillance technology as part of a public notice and com-
ment period of not fewer than 60-days prior to its deployment to
allow for input from privacy and technology stakeholders. In addi-
tion, the Department shall provide a 60-day notice to communities
prior to the initial deployment of any type of surveillance tech-
nology and host public forums in such communities to provide op-
portunities for community comment and feedback.
Performance Measures.—The Committee directs all agencies
funded by this Act to comply with title 31 of the United States
Code, including the development of their organizational priority
goals and outcomes such as performance outcome measures, output
measures, efficiency measures, and customer service measures. The
Department is directed to report back to the Committees on these
efforts within 60 days of the date of enactment of this Act.
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.
Racial Profiling in Law Enforcement.—The Committee directs
CRCL to develop a specialized mechanism, in collaboration with
ICE, CBP, local law enforcement stakeholders, and civil rights and
civil liberties organizations, for receiving complaints from the pub-
lic about racial profiling, implicit bias, and other civil liberties vio-
lations arising from state and local law enforcement involvement in
federal immigration enforcement, including through the 287(g) pro-
gram, continued detention based on ICE detainers, and the Secure
Communities program.
Review of Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Duties.—In lieu of in-
creasing the number of Border Patrol Agents, CBP Officers, or De-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
tention and Deportation Officers in this Act, the Committee directs
DHS to examine the feasibility and impact of reclassifying job func-
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
16
tions that require an immigration officer to assess whether such
functions can be conducted by individual other than an LEO if cur-
rently executed by one. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall
engage with an independent entity that has expertise in such mat-
ters, such as a Federally Funded Research and Development Cen-
ter, to review the legal definition of an immigration officer and em-
ployees as described in 8 U.S.C. 1357, 8 U.S.C. 1225, and relevant
regulations regarding their duties and responsibilities to determine
the extent to which various functions that require such employees
can be executed by a non-LEO. The Committee recommends that
DHS decrease its reliance on LEOs for functions where the unique
training, expertise, and access to firearms available to LEOs is not
required, such decreasing reliance on LEOs for processing of recent
border crossers into DHS systems. The Committee requests that
the review evaluate whether functions currently performed by
LEOs could be reassigned to a non-LEO position to achieve a more
efficient and effective use of resources. DHS is directed to brief the
Committee on the results of this evaluation not later 120 days after
the date of enactment of this Act and shall include recommenda-
tions for consideration in future budget requests and Congressional
consideration.
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 Department is directed to brief the Committee on such efforts
within 60 days of the date of enactment of this Act.
Sodium Cyanide.—The Committee notes that House Report 116–
458 directed the Department to provide a briefing on the safety and
security of ‘‘bag-box’’ containers when used to import sodium cya-
nide briquettes using in mining operations, and looks forward to re-
ceiving this now overdue briefing as soon as possible.
State and Local Law Enforcement.—The Committee directs the
Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans to evaluate the Department’s
interactions and relationships with local law enforcement agencies,
including but not limited to the 287(g) program and Secure Com-
munities. This evaluation should result in specific recommenda-
tions for ensuring that the Department does not inappropriately
incentivize the involvement of local law enforcement agencies in
the enforcement of federal immigration law or impose duties on
such agencies that may be harmful to the relationships between
such agencies and the communities they serve. The Office is di-
rected to brief the Committee on the results of its evaluation not
later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
Strategic Response Strategy for Biological Threats.—The Com-
mittee notes that House Report 116–458 directed the Secretary to
establish and maintain a strategic response strategy for biological
threats that have the potential to impact the ability of the Depart-
ment to execute or sustain its homeland-security mission, and to
provide a briefing on the strategy not later than 120 days after the
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
date of enactment of Public Law 116–260. The Committee looks for-
ward to receiving that now overdue briefing in the near future.

Support to Law Enforcement Agencies.—Section 532 of the bill re-
quires the Department to publicly report on requests from state,
local, and other federal law enforcement agencies for support from
a DHS law enforcement component, as well as when such support
is provided. The provision also requires the Secretary’s approval for
such support to be provided in the context of a mass gathering or
public protest event. In addition, the Secretary shall ensure that
DHS law enforcement personnel participating in support activities
for state, local, or other federal law enforcement agencies wear uni-
forms that clearly indicate the name of their DHS component.
Training.—The Committee supports vigorous action to improve
training for all federal, state and local law enforcement officers on
racial profiling, implicit bias, procedural justice, the use of force,
and the duty for officers to intervene when witnessing the use of
excessive force against civilians. The Committee therefore directs
the Secretary to work with the Attorney General and the Federal
Law Enforcement Training Centers to implement improved, man-
datory training on these topics for all federal law enforcement offi-
cers, along with the development of related standards that can be
applied in hiring and performance assessments. The Secretary
should also consider establishing incentives through the State
Homeland Security Grant Program and the Urban Area Security
Initiative for states and local jurisdictions to adopt the standards.
These training requirements and standards should be based on the
related provisions in H.R. 1280, as passed by the House of Rep-
resentatives in March 2021.
Translation Services.—In response to a directive in House Report
116–180 regarding translation services for migrants in DHS cus-
tody, the Department advised the Committee that it uses a DHS-
wide contract vehicle for language services, including translation
services, through which approximately 60 percent of the Depart-
ment’s translation services have been acquired in recent years, in-
cluding those of CBP, ICE, and USCIS. As the current contract ex-
pires in fiscal year 2021, the Committee directs the Department to
ensure that the replacement contract includes translation services
for Indigenous, African, and Caribbean languages.
Use of Force.—DHS shall prioritize use of force policies and prac-
tices that direct officers and agents to place paramount value on
the preservation of human life, deploy de-escalation and non-lethal
responses, and train agents to use lethal force as a last resort in
responding to an imminent, life-threatening situation after all rea-
sonable alternatives have been exhausted.
Not later than 24 hours after any use of force incident resulting
in serious injury or death, DHS shall make public a summary of
the known facts of the incident, with appropriate due process pro-
tections for the involved parties. Beginning not later than 90 days
after the date of enactment of this Act and quarterly thereafter, the
Department shall collect and publish data on all use-of-force inci-
dents, including vehicle pursuits. The summaries shall include the
location; type(s) of force used; justification for each use-of-force;
number of law enforcement personnel involved; number of individ-
uals injured, delineated by age, gender, nationality, race, and eth-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
nicity; and type, source, and location of any medical care provided.
The reports should be updated, as necessary, to include the results

of agency incident reviews and any disciplinary or other agency ac-
tions or outcomes.
Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Department shall brief the Committee on a plan for estab-
lishing an independent commission of experts to serve as a perma-
nent civilian oversight body for DHS law enforcement components
to review component use of force and misconduct reviews and make
public recommendations for changes in policy, practice, or over-
sight. Commission members should have authority to observe Dis-
cipline Review Board and Use of Force Review Board proceedings.
Membership of the Commission should include a balanced variety
of stakeholder perspectives, including members representing law
enforcement organizations, border communities, legal experts, and
immigrant advocacy organizations.
The Committee directs GAO to review use of force policies, inci-
dent tracking mechanisms, and training for DHS law enforcement
components, including an assessment of whether use of force poli-
cies, standards, and practices—including vehicle pursuit policies,
apprehension tactics, and training on de-escalation and non-lethal
responses—reflect law enforcement best practices and adhere to
standards developed by expert organization such as the Police Ex-
ecutive Research Forum and the International Association of Chiefs
of Police. The review should also assess whether policies and over-
sight mechanisms reflect recommendations from the Homeland Se-
curity Advisory Council’s Integrity Advisory Panel, including rec-
ommendations to reward professionalism, prevent abuse and cor-
ruption, and create a culture of accountability.
Use of Force Reporting.—The Committee encourages the Sec-
retary to make participation in the National Use of Force Data Col-
lection Program of the Federal Bureau of Investigation by state
and local law enforcement agencies a condition for eligibility for
federal grant funding, including State Homeland Security 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-
sion F of Public Law 115–141).

base for essential products such as medical devices, medical equip-
ment, pharmaceuticals, and personal protective equipment (PPE),
which the early period of the coronavirus pandemic amply dem-
onstrated. The Committee encourages the Secretary to work with
other departments and agencies to ensure a long-term sustainable
domestic supply chain for PPE and other items that may be in
short supply in a future heath pandemic or catastrophic natural
disaster.
Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) Procurement.—Not
later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the De-
partment is directed to brief the Committee on the current guid-
ance for the acquisition of sUAS, including preparedness grant
guidance. The Committee is particularly interested in policies re-
garding foreign made sUAS and any risk assessments or certifi-
cations required for those procurements, as well as any review of
domestically available products.
Vehicles.—Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment
of this Act, the CFO and CRSO shall brief the Committee on the
types and numbers of vehicles purchased or leased by the Depart-
ment, including its components, over the last three fiscal years and
on planned vehicle purchases for fiscal year 2022.The Committee
notes that limitations on the purchase or lease of vehicles is con-
tained in multiple accounts in the bill.
PROCUREMENT, CONSTRUCTION, AND IMPROVEMENTS
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021 ......................................................... $214,795,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022 ....................................................... 396,371,000
Recommended in the bill ................................................................... 511,816,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021 .................................................. +297,021,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022 ................................................ +115,445,000
The recommendation includes a decrease from the request of
$30,000,000 from financial systems modernization and $25,000,000
from the Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology system due
to schedule delays in both programs. The recommendation includes
an increase of $170,000,000 for the Chief Readiness Support Office
(CSRO), as described below, and an increase of $445,000 to address
an error in the request for Mission Support Assets and Infrastruc-
ture.
Biometric Systems.—The COVID–19 pandemic further illustrated
the benefits of touchless technologies at domestic and international
airports that improve the efficiency of security checkpoints while
minimizing the potential spread of infections. The Committee sup-
ports the continued development of accurate biometric identity vali-
dation tools to improve security and make the journey from curb
to gate at airports more seamless and safe, while also emphasizing
that use of such technologies should be voluntary by passengers
and that the protection of passenger privacy and minimizing the
retention of personal data is paramount.
Common Enterprise Data.—The Committee is supportive of ef-
forts across the Department to leverage data to make informed
operational and policy decisions. The Committee is aware of similar
efforts within the Department of Defense (DoD), which has
achieved good results by bringing together disparate data systems

to provide departmental leadership with improved visibility across
the DoD enterprise. The Department is directed to explore the fea-

sibility and possible utilization of such a system, as well as associ-
ated resource requirements, and report to the Committee on the re-
sults not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this
Act.
Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology (HART) Program
Breach.—The recommendation includes a decrease of $25,000,000
in proposed funding for the HART program due to continued pro-
gram delays.The funding baseline for HART was established in
2016. The program suffered an early schedule breach in 2017 and
was removed from breach in May 2019. In January 2020, the pro-
gram was again declared to be in abreach for both cost and sched-
ule.As of the date of this report, the program has still not gained
Acquisition Review Board approval for a revised program baseline
detailing a new lifecycle cost and schedule for achieving program
milestones. Nor has the program provided an obligation plan to the
Committee for funding previously appropriated or that requested in
the fiscal year 2022 budget proposal. In addition, it is the Commit-
tee’s understanding that HART Increments 3 and 4 will now be la-
beled as ‘‘future capabilities.’’
Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
the Under Secretary for Management (USM) shall brief the Com-
mittee on how DHS is addressing systemic delays in the HART
program. The briefing shall address the program’s development ef-
forts; plans for program breach remediation and re-baselining; pro-
gram schedule, cost, and affordability; risks; mission outcomes; and
accomplishments. The USM shall also address how the Department
plans to work with HART customers to address the impacts of the
delayed capabilities on their programs and activities.
Headquarters Consolidation.—The Committee directs the Depart-
ment to provide an update on headquarters consolidation not later
than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
Joint Migrant Processing Centers.—The Committee recommends
$170,000,000 above the request for the CRSO for integrated, joint
migrant processing centers (JMPC).The CRSO, in conjunction with
CBP, ICE, and USCIS, shall work with the Office of Strategy, Pol-
icy, and Plans, the Office of the General Counsel, the Office of the
Undersecretary for Management, the Office for Civil Rights and
Civil Liberties; and the Office of the Immigration Detention Om-
budsman, along with interagency partners such as HHS and the
Department of Justice, to develop requirements for establishing
JMPCs. CRSO shall act as the executive agent for the design and
construction of such centers, which shall appropriately shelter un-
accompanied children, family units, and single adults as they un-
dergo processing required under the immigration laws, including
adherence to Flores settlement requirements; enhance the coordi-
nation among federal agencies and between such agencies and non-
profit organizations or local jurisdictions that provide shelter and
support to migrants following their release from DHS custody; and
minimize the time migrants spend in DHS custody.
Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
the USM shall brief the Committee on joint requirements and
plans for the design and construction of JMPCs, including their
planned locations, estimated costs, and schedule for becoming oper-

port.
Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.—The Committee expects Office
of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) to comply with applicable civil
rights and civil liberties laws and regulations; continue to imple-
ment principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion; and require re-
lated training for personnel.

influence, and transnational organized crime. The Committee also
expects I&A to enhance its ability to rapidly and effectively share
intelligence and other information on threats with state, local, trib-
al, territorial, and private sector partners. The Committee directs
I&A to brief the Committee not later than 30 days after the date
of enactment or this Act on a plan for the obligation of its fiscal
year 2022 funding, categorized by threat and/or information shar-
ing program.
National Labs.—The Committee encourages the Office of Oper-
ations Coordination to utilize the expertise of the national labs to
help identify tactical and strategic risks that could disrupt Na-
tional Essential Functions.

Border Security and Immigration Oversight.—The Inspector Gen-
eral is directed to enhance oversight and investigations related to
immigration and border security policies and activities, including:
safeguards for the due process rights of asylum seekers and other
migrants; unannounced inspections of ICE and CBP detention fa-
cilities; detention facility contracting; the 287(g) and Secure Com-
munities programs; and enforcement activities at and near sen-
sitive locations. The OIG is directed to provide a briefing to the
Committee, not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of
this Act, on its budget execution plan for fiscal year 2022. In addi-
tion, the OIG shall continue publishing the results of its inspec-
tions of immigration detention facilities and other reports related
to custody operations on its public website.
Equity in Disaster Assistance for Individuals and Households.—
The Committee is aware of concerns raised about inequities in the
delivery of disaster assistance to disaster survivors, especially
through FEMA’s Individual and Household Program (IHP), includ-
ing concerns expressed by constituents, media reports and a recent
GAO Report, Disaster Assistance Additional Actions Needed to

24
disproportionately less assistance to minority communities and
those in urban and rural disadvantaged communities; and that
FEMA’s application process and procedures are too complicated,
causing many to discontinue their applications or forego appeals
due to a mistaken belief that they are not eligible. In addition,
FEMA’s attempts to prevent fraudulent applications may be so re-
strictive as to inadvertently screen out many who may appro-
priately qualify for assistance.
The OIG is directed to review FEMA’s application process and
procedures for IHP, including its methods to prevent fraudulent ap-
plications, and to brief the Committee on its findings within 120
days of the date of enactment of this Act. The briefing shall detail
whether recommendations from oversight entities, including the
OIG, may have inadvertently led FEMA to develop policies and
procedures that are overly restrictive and, as a result, may be pre-
venting disaster survivors who need IHP from receiving that assist-
ance.
FEMA Alternative Procedures.—The Committee reminds the OIG
of the requirement in House Report 116–180 to update the report
required by section 5189(h) of title 42, United States Code related
to FEMA’s Alternative Procedures program for Public Assistance.
Within 15 days of the date of enactment of this Act, the OIG shall
brief the Committee on a plan to update that report.
Government Accountability Office Report.—The Committee is con-
cerned about several longstanding issues facing the OIG. On April
21, 2021, GAO released a report outlining 21 recommendations to
address these challenges, including (1) a lack of internal quality
controls; (2) the absence of a strategic plan; and (3) the failure to
examine and address the increased time it takes to complete re-
ports. The Committee expects the OIG to implement all 21 of
GAO’s recommendations as soon as possible. Furthermore, the
Committee is troubled that, beginning in 2020, the OIG stopped
publishing reports that substantiate allegations of whistleblower
retaliation or misconduct by senior DHS employees. The Com-
mittee expects the OIG to resume publishing these reports on its
website.
Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology System.—The Com-
mittee is aware of concerns about the development and implemen-
tation of the Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology System
(HART). The Committee directs the OIG to conduct a review of
HART technologies, data collection mechanisms, sharing agree-
ments, and privacy protections and determine if OBIM is com-
plying with 28 C.F.R. 23, Criminal Intelligence Systems Operating
Policies. Within 180 days of the date of enactment of this Act, the
OIG shall brief the Committee on the results of the review.

program, for a total of $3,000,000; $4,000,000 for Carrizo cane con-
trol, for a total of $6,000,000; $20,000,000 for incident driven video
recording systems, including body worn cameras and requirements
for Freedom of Information Act compliance and data storage;
$10,000,000 for video device monitoring capabilities; $10,000,000 to
maintain baseline programs for the Office of Trade; $10,000,000 for
port of entry technology; and $4,000,000 for medical contract over-
sight. The recommendation reduces the amount proposed for trans-
portation by $8,000,000.
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 2022 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.
Asylum Processing at Ports of Entry.—The Committee directs the
Commissioner to engage a federally funded research and develop-
ment center (FFRDC) to conduct an analysis of the asylum proc-
essing capacity and capacity requirements at land ports of entry
along the U.S.-Mexico Border. The analysis should address the in-
frastructure, staffing, and other resource requirements needed to
ensure the safe, humane, and orderly processing of single adults
and families who present at ports of entry and make a lawful claim
of fear or asylum, along with the processing of unaccompanied chil-
dren prior to transfer to HHS ORR. In carrying out its analysis,
the FFRDC shall consult with federal agency stakeholders, includ-
ing ORR; the Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigra-
tion Review, CBP, ICE, USCIS, and CRCL. In addition, the FFRDC
shall consult with community stakeholders, including non-profit
immigration and civil rights advocacy organizations. The Com-
mittee recommends $500,000 above the request to support this ef-
fort.
Border Barrier Mitigation Activities.—The Committee continues
to be concerned about the impacts of border barrier construction on
sensitive lands and wildlife along the southwest land border, in-
cluding in national wildlife refuges, national forests, national
monuments, wilderness areas, and on imperiled species. To address
these concerns, the bill provides authority to use up to
$100,000,000 of available prior-year funds appropriated for border
barrier construction for mitigation activities, including land acqui-
sition, related to the construction of border barriers on federal land.
Authority 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.
Deaths in Custody.—The Committee directs CBP to notify the ap-
plicable consulate, congressional committees with relevant jurisdic-
tion, the Office of the Inspector General, and the Office for Civil
Rights and Civil Liberties within 24 hours of the death of any indi-
vidual in CBP custody or any individual not in custody if CBP per-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
sonnel were involved in the death. The notification shall include
the name of the individual and the circumstances of the death. For

27
purposes of this requirement, CBP custody includes any individuals
detained on CBP’s behalf by another law enforcement agency or ad-
mitted to a medical facility while still in CBP’s legal custody. The
Committee also directs CBP to:
(1) for in-custody deaths, provide the same notifications to
the public after the next-of-kin have been notified, or after rea-
sonable efforts have been made to notify the next-of-kin;
(2) preserve all video recordings of such individuals during
their time in custody until the completion of all related inves-
tigations;
(3) conduct interviews of relevant parties regarding the cir-
cumstances of the death;
(4) impress upon local and state authorities the need for an
autopsy to be conducted as part of a review of the cir-
cumstances leading to an in-custody death; and
(5) for in-custody deaths where the decedent was in a CBP
holding facility at the time of death or had been in a holding
facility immediately prior to the time of death, conduct a
prompt mortality review of each death, including a review of
whether the individual’s treatment in detention complied with
CBP’s standards on Transport, Escort, Detention, and Search
(TEDS).
Not later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal year, CBP
shall submit a report to the Committee detailing all such deaths,
including summaries of mortality reviews and compliance with
TEDS. In addition, the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR)
shall brief the Committee on its findings and associated rec-
ommendations for any deaths it investigates.
Human Smuggling.—The Committee is concerned about reports
that transnational criminal organizations are smuggling migrants
and narcotics into the United States in the same conveyance, such
as a commercial vehicle, endangering the lives of the smuggled mi-
grants. The Committee directs 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 pro-
tective 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 en-
forcement agency if the vehicle may contain individuals being
smuggled under unsafe conditions, such as the smuggling of one or
more individuals in a confined or non-air conditioned space.
Incident-Driven Video Recording System.—The Committee pro-
vides $20,000,000 to deploy the Incident-Driven Video Recording
System (IDVRS), including body worn cameras, to additional Bor-
der Patrol Stations. The Committee is dismayed that the fiscal year
2022 budget request did not propose the continuation of funding
provided in fiscal year 2021 for this critical effort. Not later than
90 days after the date of enactment of this Act and quarterly there-
after, CBP shall brief the Committee on the execution plan for
IDVRS, to include an implementation schedule.
Inland Ports.—The Committee directs the Government Account-
ability Office to (1) review constraints affecting ports of entry for
containers; (2) identify existing inland ‘‘dry’’ container ports of
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
entry; (3) review the process for establishing a ‘‘dry’’ container port
of entry, including factors used by pertinent federal agencies that

must be met to enable locations to operate as such inland ports;
and (4) provide a list of geographic locations that may be suitable
to serve as dry container ports of entry. GAO shall report its find-
ings and recommendations to the Committee not later than one
year after the date of enactment of this Act.
Innovative Technology.—The Committee recommends a total of
$45,000,000 for innovative technologies, to include $25,000,000
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.
Mail Interdiction of Heroin and Opioids.—Since 2018, the Com-
mittee has provided over $200,000,000 in support of INTERDICT
Act activities, to include additional lab capacity and expanding the
capabilities at international mail and consignment facilities. The
Committee continues to support CBP’s partnership with the United
States Postal Service to better detect opioids at international proc-
essing centers and expects this collaboration to reach higher cap-
ture rates through the continued deployment of new detection tech-
nologies, including lab equipment, decontamination solutions, per-
sonal protective equipment, and other consumables. Additionally,
CBP is encouraged to ensure that personnel are provided personal
protective equipment capable of preventing secondary exposure and
cross contamination.
The CBP Strategy to Combat Opioids, released in March 2019,
serves as an action plan for CBP and its interagency partners in
identifying and interrupting the opioid supply chain. Within 60
days of the date of enactment of this Act, CBP shall provide a brief-
ing to the Committee on how the strategy has influenced actions
already taken, the results of those actions, and a plan for updating
the strategy. The briefing shall include the level of obligations for
all activities associated with INTERDICT Act implementation.
Mental Health Clinicians.—The Committee recommends an addi-
tional $15,000,000, for a total of $17,100,000 for on-site clinicians
to support employee resiliency and suicide prevention. The clini-
cians shall perform assessments; short-term counseling; referrals;
consultations with managers, supervisors, peer support team mem-
bers, or chaplains; in-person presentations/trainings; and imme-
diate response to critical incidents.
Migrant Care.—To address deficiencies in CBP’s guidance and
associated implementation plans for ensuring the humane care of
migrants in custody, not later than 90 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, the Commissioner, in coordination with the CMO,
shall modify the existing guidance to include the following:
(1) Initial Health Screening.—Health screening shall include

29
an acute or chronic physical or mental disability or illness;
pregnant women; children; and elderly individuals.
(3) Medical Equipment and Personnel.—Each location to
which detainees are first transported after an initial encounter
shall have the necessary equipment and trained personnel to
conduct the initial health screening, prevent the spread of com-
municable diseases, provide basic over-the-counter medications
appropriate for all age groups, and provide basic mental health
interventions for children or other vulnerable individuals. De-
tainees shall not be deprived of the use of any medication re-
quired to manage a chronic illness.
(4) Access to Water and Food.—CBP shall ensure that detain-
ees have access to not less than one gallon of water per person
per day; three meals per day totaling not fewer than 2,000 cal-
ories per day for adults; food with age-appropriate calorie con-
tent for children under the age of twelve; and accommodations
for any dietary needs or restrictions. Additionally, protocols
should be developed that guide the nutritional content of age-
appropriate food made available to children under the age of
5, with a special emphasis on infants.
(5) Holding Facility Standards.—Within 60 days of the date
of enactment of this Act, CBP shall ensure that each facility
at which an individual is detained is well lit and well venti-
lated, with humidity and temperature kept at comfortable lev-
els (between 68 and 74 degrees Fahrenheit); has noise levels
that are safe and conducive for sleeping between the hours of
10:00 in the evening and 6:00 in the morning; provides each
person clean, temperature-appropriate clothing and bedding;
and places no detainee in a room, for any period of time, in
which the number of individuals exceeds the maximum occu-
pancy level as determined by the appropriate building code,
fire marshal, or other appropriate authority.

have access to a trusted adult by providing unlimited phone ac-
cess for this purpose. CBP is also encouraged to provide re-
peated process information and orientation for children
through videos and 24-hour accessibility to information.
Migrants and Child Welfare Personnel.—Within the funds pro-
vided, the Committee directs the CMO, in coordination with the
Commissioner, to hire or otherwise obtain the services of, at min-
imum, two full-time, state-licensed child welfare professionals for
each CBP sector along the southern land border. These profes-
sionals, who should be licensed clinical social workers or the equiv-
alent, will provide culturally competent, trauma-informed, and de-
velopmentally appropriate expertise, and advise on building sys-
tems of care to prevent and mitigate emotional and psychological

30
youth care personnel for each sector to implement the rec-
ommended screening, intervention, recreational, and other ele-
ments of custodial care required to prevent and mitigate emotional
and psychological trauma. Not later than 60 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, CBP shall provide an execution plan for hir-
ing child welfare professionals and youth care personnel, to include
how to address hiring and on-boarding issues, how the personnel
will be deployed in the field, and how translation services will be
provided.
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, safety and com-
fort of the child, and physical and mental health of all members of
the family. When appropriate and feasible, CBP shall ensure that
separated family units are reunited and transferred together prior
to removal, release from CBP custody, or transfer to Immigration
and Customs Enforcement custody. When CBP is responsible for
the custody of unaccompanied children who are siblings, the Com-
missioner shall, to the extent practicable and when in the best in-
terest of the children, place such siblings together in the same fa-
cility before HHS assumes custody pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1232(b).
Migrants and Personnel Training.—The Committee continues to
direct CBP to provide training on trauma-informed care for all per-
sonnel who interact with migrants. This training should include
field personnel as well as mission support personnel. Not later than
60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, CBP shall provide
an execution plan for such training, to include a timetable for full
implementation.
Migrant Property.—The Committee directs CBP to provide a
briefing, not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this
Act, on its policies and protocols regarding the storage and transfer
or return of the personal property of migrants.
National Guard Support on the Southern Border.—Not later than
180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, CBP is directed
to brief the Committee on its requirement for National Guard per-
sonnel support to its operations. The briefing shall address how the
requirement was developed; the number of personnel currently de-
ployed, by sector; and the specific tasks conducted by National
Guard personnel.
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 also
expand migrant safety efforts, including through the placement
and maintenance of additional rescue beacons. The recommenda-
tion includes an additional $1,500,000, for additional rescue bea-
cons and for the Missing Migrant Program, for a total of
$3,000,000. Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of
this Act, CBP shall brief the Committee on planned obligations.
Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).—The Committee pro-
vides $74,300,000, as requested, to increase OPR’s investigative ca-
pabilities through an increase in criminal investigators and support

brief the Committee on a plan to execute the funding that includes
a detailed hiring strategy, including a geographic breakout, and the
anticipated priority focus areas for such funding.
Processing Coordinators.—The Committee includes $9,147,000,
as requested, to increase the number of Border Patrol Processing
Coordinators. Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment
of this Act, CBP shall brief the Committee on the feasibility of
using non-law enforcement personnel to provide assistance in proc-
essing, care, and transportation of migrants. The briefing shall ad-
dress the legal limitations on using non-law enforcement personnel
for processing.
Prison Rape Elimination Act Compliance (PREA).—The Com-
mittee directs CBP to brief the Committee, not later than 90 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, on the results of completed
PREA audits, including an assessment of whether the standards
are effective in protecting vulnerable populations.
Prosecution of Asylum Seekers.—The Committee is concerned by
reports of the prosecution for illegal entry and reentry of individ-
uals who express a fear of return to their country of origin during
processing by CBP. The Administration is reminded of the United
States’ obligation under the 1951 Refugee Convention to refrain
from punishing asylum seekers for the way in which they enter the
country.
Reporting Requirements.—CBP shall continue to follow the direc-
tives in the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 116–
6 related to the following, according to the previously directed time-
frames unless otherwise specified:
(1) CBP-wide capability gaps;
(2) Border Patrol Workforce Staffing Model;

ers; and
(7) Recruitment, hiring and retention.
Translation Services and Forms.—The Committee directs CBP to
provide a plan, within 120 days of the date of enactment of this
Act, for ensuring access to appropriate translation services for all
rare language speakers encountered by CBP, including an estimate
of related resource requirements and the feasibility and potential
benefit of these components jointly procuring such services. Addi-
tionally, the Committee directs CBP to provide all forms that are
required to be signed by a detained person in the detainee’s native
language. CBP is directed to report to the Committee within 90
days of the date of enactment of this Act on a plan and timeline
for achieving this goal, including an estimate of related resource re-
quirements.
Transparency.—The Committee continues to direct CBP to reit-
erate its commitment to a policy of ‘‘maximum disclosure, min-
imum delay’’ in releasing information to the media and public; con-
tinue to post all policies and guidelines that may be of interest to
the public on the agency’s website; and continue—or expand as
practicable—data collection that more effectively detects and deters
abuse, strengthens accountability, and ensures effective use of lim-
ited resources.
Tribal Travel Documents.—While several Native American tribes
do not have Enhanced Tribal Cards (ECT) that are Western Hemi-
sphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) compliant, any member of a Feder-
ally recognized Indian tribe in the U.S. or Canada that holds valid
identification issued by a tribe is be allowed to pass through U.S.
land- and sea-ports of entry. CBP is encouraged to continue to
work with tribal governments on interim solutions for those tribes
that do not have secure ETCs to ensure member are not unneces-
sarily delayed or referred to secondary inspection based solely non-
WHTI compliant documents. Not later than 90 days after the date
of enactment of this Act, CBP shall brief the Committee on the im-
pact of non-WHTI compliant documents on tribe members and how
CBP is working with tribal governments to address identification
challenges.
Video Monitoring.—The Committee provides $10,000,000 for
video monitoring capabilities within Border Patrol facilities. The
Committee continues the direction that any failure of cameras and
associated storage equipment in excess of 120 hours at any CBP fa-
cility that detains migrants must be reported to the Office of Pro-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
fessional Responsibility. Such reporting shall be updated weekly
until the system is back online.

BORDER SECURITY OPERATIONS
Carrizo Cane.—The recommendation includes an increase of
$4,000,000 for efforts to control the growth of Carrizo cane along
the Rio Grande River in Texas, for a total of $6,000,000. CBP
should continue to coordinate with the Texas State Soil and Water
Conservation Board and other stakeholders on control efforts. Be-
ginning not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this
Act, CBP shall provide quarterly updates to the Committee on the
performance of this program with regard to increased visibility, bio-
mass reduction, and miles of river treated.
Collaboration with the Border Patrol.—The Committee continues
to encourage all state, local, tribal, and federal law enforcement
agencies working in the southwest land border region to collaborate
and operationally coordinate, when feasible, with sector chiefs in
their respective geographical regions. CBP is directed to brief the
Committee on these efforts not later than 60 dates of the date of
enactment of this Act.
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
Agriculture Inspections—Invasive Species.—The Committee re-
minds CBP of the report required in House Report 116–458 con-
cerning the continued introduction of invasive species to Hawai’i
and to non-contiguous U.S. territories.
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, in the same
manner as described for such plan in House Report 114–668.
Cargo Processing.—The Committee continues to direct CBP to
provide a briefing on its efforts to improve automated commercial
cargo processing, to include passive scanning at land POEs, not
later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
Forced Labor.—The Committee provides $299,746,000, an in-
crease of $10,000,000 above the request, for trade enforcement ac-
tivities, including intellectual property rights. Within the total, not
less than $9,203,000 is for Trade Agreement, Remedies, and En-
forcement personnel to strengthen enforcement actions and proc-
esses that prevent the importation of products made with forced
labor.
Jones Act.—The Committee recognizes the need for uniform ap-
plication and enforcement of coastwise laws across the nation and
directs CBP to devote not less than $1,000,000 to its Jones Act Di-
vision of Enforcement.
Live Animal Imports.—The Committee is aware that importation
of live animals, particularly dogs, has increased substantially dur-
ing the COVID–19 pandemic and is concerned that CBP lacks ade-
quate facilities and procedures to respond. The Committee notes
the priority of the safety and welfare of live animals under CBP
control pending clearance, and urges the agency to collaborate with
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) Animal Care to draft regulatory guid-
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
34
ance clarifying standards of care for live animals in a properly cer-
tified animal care facility operating under a CBP-issued custodial
bond, citing 7 U.S.C. 2148 (and pertinent parts) as the controlling
statutory authority. This guidance shall also clarify the role of ani-
mal care facility owners in the sale, adoption, trade, or transfer
ownership of live animals as it pertains to the import of live ani-
mals.
This new regulatory standard shall be prescribed as a condition
in appropriate bonds issued by CBP to parties applying for a bond
in which the nature of the merchandise includes live animals pend-
ing release by CBP on behalf of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) and/or USDA APHIS, or those pending ex-
port due to non-compliance with CDC regulations.
Further, the committee is concerned that that there is only one
such animal care facility with CBP-bonded status capable of safely
handling live animals throughout the duration of potential legally
required quarantines. The Committee directs CBP to issue a report
to Congress evaluating the necessity of additional facilities meeting
similar standards of animal care at other ports of entry and to pro-
vide the Committee with an accounting of the resources necessary
to establish such facilities in accordance with CBP, CDC and
USDA, APHIS Animal Care’s recommendations within 90 days of
the date of enactment of this Act.
Outbound Inspections.—DHS is directed to enhance its focus on
interdicting the outbound flow of smuggled firearms and illicit cur-
rency that fund and facilitate transnational criminal organizations.
Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,
the Secretary shall brief the Committee on a plan to enhance such
efforts.
Port Upgrades.—The Committee urges CBP to immediately re-
view 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 provide the
aggregate information on levels of service to the Committee.
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. Within 90 days of the
date of enactment of this Act, CBP shall brief the Committee on
the status of preclearance expansion efforts, including a list of ex-
pansion candidate countries and challenges to expansion, such as
staffing, space, or other constraints.
Resource Allocation Model.—The Committee continues direction
concerning the CBP resource allocation model. Any modifications to
the model shall be described at the field and office level in future
budget submissions. Additionally, not later than 60 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, CBP shall brief the Committee on
resource staffing shortfalls on the northern and southern borders
compared to levels prescribed by the resource allocation model for
rail crossings and POEs in the land, air, and sea environments, in-
cluding cruise ship terminals. CBP is encouraged to continue to im-
prove the model by seeking external review.
Secure Corridor Strategy.—Collaboration between CBP, the Fed-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
eral Railroad Administration (FRA), Servicio de Adminstración
Tributaria (SAT), and freight railroads has resulted in the imple-
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
35
mentation of a Secure Corridor Strategy that has improved the
safety, security, and efficiency of our nation’s cross-border trade
and freight movement. As part of this strategy, trains operated by
certified crews are no longer required to stop for up to an hour on
the Laredo International Rail Bridge in order to change crews, re-
ducing the vulnerability of these trains to theft, vandalism, tres-
passing, and smuggling and decreasing the likelihood of potential
delays that cause blocked highway-rail grade crossings on both
sides of the border. Furthermore, by unifying cargo processing and
enhancing technologies used during customs inspections, processing
times have been greatly improved. The Committee encourages CBP
to continue working with FRA, SAT, and freight railroads to fur-
ther implement this strategy.
Trade Remedy Enforcement.—The Committee directs CBP to re-
view whether duties on importers of recycled, scrap, and primary
aluminum exempt from certain tariffs are being properly assessed,
along with whether assessed tariffs have been remitted to the gov-
ernment. Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of
this Act, CBP shall submit a report to the Committee on the find-
ings of this review and actions taken to address any inappropriate
assessments.
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
passengers in the previous calendar year.
Visa Waiver Program (VWP).—The Committee continues to direct
CBP to better clarify which types of educational experiences are
permitted under VWP travel, including what evidence or informa-
tion is required to satisfy CBP that a traveler does not intend to
overstay the 90-day VWP time limit.

1 Funding requested in the budget proposal for POE construction and modernization is provided in title V
of this Act.
The Committee recommends the following increases above the re-
quest: $50,000,000 for border technology procurement; $20,000,000
for innovation technology; $8,750,000 for small unmanned aircraft
systems; $8,750,000 for team awareness kits; $5,000,000 for a bor-
der technology common operating picture (COP) pilot; $50,000,000
for non-intrusive inspection (NII) equipment; and $3,000,000 for
electronic medical records. The recommendation provides no fund-
ing for additional border barriers.
The recommendation reduces the request by $35,000,000 pro-
posed for end item procurement; $655,000,000 proposed for LPOE
construction and modernization, which is instead funded through a
provision in title V of the bill; $30,000,000 for construction of a cen-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
tral processing facility, which is funded instead in the Management
Directorate’s PC&I account; and $17,500,000 that was prematurely

proposed for acquisition of an aircraft prior to the initiation of non-
recurring engineering.
Automated Commercial Environment.—CBP is directed to review
whether the automated commercial environment program should
incorporate the U.S. Virgin Islands into the existing program.
Border Security Technology Acquisitions.—Over the last few
years, the Committee has provided significant flexibility to CBP
within the PC&I, Border Security Assets and Infrastructure (BSAI)
PPA to prioritize the use of funds for its highest priority technology
acquisitions. Unfortunately, the agency has in numerous cases
abused this flexibility by obligating funds for acquisitions that have
neither been justified to Congress through a budget request nor in-
cluded in the detailed expenditure plans CBP provides to the Com-
mittee. In addition, some of these funds have been obligated for the
acquisition of end items that fall below the threshold for what may
be funded through a PC&I account or have been used to contract
for services, which are required to be funded instead through CBP’s
O&S account. As a consequence, the bill rescinds funding for two
programs from which funds were diverted for uses that were not
justified to Congress through either a budget request or an obliga-
tion’s plan. The Commissioner and the Under Secretary for Man-
agement are directed to review the management of procurement
programs within the BSAI PPA to ensure funding is being executed
according to congressional intent and the Department’s financial
management and acquisition policies.
Border Technology Common Operating Picture.—The Committee
provides $5,000,000 only for a pilot or demonstration effort to de-
velop a COP that integrates sensor feeds from platforms within the
current DHS inventory. The effort shall comply with section 107 of
this Act and shall be briefed to the Committee prior to approval of
a new program start.
Border Technology Procurement.—The Committee recommends
$50,000,000 for border security technology, which shall only be
available for cross border tunnel threats, aerostats, autonomous
surveillance, geospatial capabilities, mobile surveillance, search
and rescue capabilities, and mesh networks. The Commissioner is
directed to prioritize procurement of the most cost-effective tech-
nologies based on lifecycle costs, system availability, reduced re-
quirements for personnel and physical infrastructure, and input
from sector leadership. In addition, the Commissioner shall
prioritize technologies that enhance search and rescue capabilities.
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 Commis-
sioner and include:
(1) details about the process for prioritizing the use of funds;
(2) a summary of planned obligations for fiscal year 2022 de-
lineated 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
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
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.
Electronic Health Records.—The Committee includes $3,000,000
for the expansion and implementation of electronic health records.
Prior to obligation, CBP, in coordination with the Department’s
Chief Medical Officer, is directed to brief the Committee an expend-
iture plan for this funding. Planned activities shall align with the
Departments electronic health records program.
Innovative Technology.—The Committee recommends a total of
$45,000,000 for innovative technologies, to include $25,000,000
within O&S and $20,000,000 under PC&I. CBP is encouraged to re-
view the following technologies: geospatial search and rescue, re-
mote sensing, mesh networking, satellite communications, and
aerostats technology. CBP is directed to update the Committee on
the planned obligation of these funds not fewer than 15 days prior
to any obligation of such funds. Funding shall not exceed
$5,000,000 for any individual project.
The Committee notes that Congress has for several years pro-
vided funding for testing and evaluation of innovative technologies
that might not otherwise come timely to CBP’s attention through
the normal procurement process. Not later than 30 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, CBP is directed to provide a briefing
on the use of innovative technology funding over the last five fiscal
years, including:
(1) the technologies tested and evaluated;
(2) the results of those evaluations in terms of meeting CBP
requirements;
(3) an analysis of the cost effectiveness of those technologies
compared to alternatives;
(4) CBP’s process for determining whether to establish pro-
grams of record for cost effective innovative technologies; and
(5) investments to date in such programs of record and
planned investments in fiscal year 2022 and the two following
fiscal years.
Multi-Role Enforcement Aircraft.—The Committee recommends
$10,882,000 for a new land variant multirole enforcement aircraft
program. The program has completed the current contract for the
maritime variant and plans to issue a new request for proposals for
a land variant in fiscal year 2022. The funding provided will sup-
port the award of a new contract for the non-recurring engineering
associated with the first aircraft. Funds are not provided for the in-
cremental purchase of an aircraft, sensors, or spares. The Com-
mittee strongly discourages this practice except in certain condi-
tions such as long lead items involved in the Coast Guard ship-
building programs. The Committee is particularly concerned with
the assertion by CBP that it plans to structure a flexible contract
that allows items to be incrementally funded, if beneficial. CBP
shall fully fund in one fiscal year the total cost of an end item as
defined by section 525 of this Act to ensure that the full cost of an
acquisition program is transparent to Congress and the public
when presented in the budget.
Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII).—The Committee recommends an
additional $50,000,000 for NII technology at land and sea ports of
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
entry. CBP shall continue to update the Committee on the obliga-
tion of funds for NII acquisition as a part of the required quarterly

obligation plans directed in title I of this report. The Committee ex-
pects any procurement of technology to be competitively awarded.
CBP is reminded of the reporting requirement in House Report
116–458 on 100 percent scanning.

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
court proceedings, removing them from the United States in a
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.

Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021 .................................................. ¥55,455,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022 ................................................ ¥119,511,000
The recommendation includes a net reduction of $119,511,000
below the request, which includes the following adjustments: in-
creases totaling $99,735,000 for Homeland Security Investigations
(HSI); a net reduction of $279,165,000 for Civil Immigration En-
forcement Operations, which replaces Enforcement and Removal
Operations (ERO); and increases totaling $59,919,000 for mission
support activities and investments to improve transparency, officer
and agent safety, and oversight.
Within the total amount provided, the bill makes $46,696,000
available until September 30, 2023, of which $32,996,000 is for the
wiretap program; and $13,700,000 is for the Visa Security Pro-
gram.
ICE shall continue to provide detailed operational and spending
plans, as described in the explanatory statements accompanying
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
Public Laws 116–6, 116–93, and 116–260. While there have been

39
of detail submitted therein, the content of these plans is still insuf-
ficiently instructive for the Committee’s oversight activities because
it continues to lack answers to basic questions, such as the status
of funds and projected costs for program areas like: ATD case man-
agement services provided by non-profit organizations; 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.
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 expenditures against those
programs and initiatives; such plan should be fully operational
prior to the beginning of fiscal year 2023. The Committee expects
that this will require increased standardization of financial data
structures and processes across field and headquarters offices. Not
later than 120 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 is concerned by reports of TCOs targeting legiti-
mate businesses along drug trafficking routes. The destabilization
of legitimate businesses in regions such as Central America forces
increased reliance on TCOs to meet basic human needs that often
also pose security and safety threats to the public. This environ-
ment, in turn, drives people to migrate to other countries, such as
the United States, in order to protect and sustain themselves and
their families. To better understand this problem, the Committee
directs HSI to prepare an assessment, in consultation with other
DHS components, federal agencies, international partners, and pri-
vate sector stakeholders, on which TCOs engage in this activity
and an analysis of options for dismantling their operations. Not
later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, ICE
shall brief the Committee on the results of this assessment.
Combating Human Smuggling.—The Committee continues to be
concerned about human smuggling activities, especially at the
southwest border, as well as the criminal enterprises that support
it. Accordingly, the recommendation provides an increase of
$2,000,000 above the request to support operations at the recently
established Center for Countering Human Trafficking. Further, the
Committee supports the Secretary’s new anti-smuggling effort,
Operational Sentinel, and encourages HSI to expand its collabo-
rative efforts to include coordination with the Financial Crimes En-
forcement Network and appropriate Mexican and Central American
federal partners. The Department is directed to report back to the
Committee on these efforts within 60 days of the enactment of this
Act.
Environmental Forensic Science.—The Committee encourages
HSI, in consultation with the S&T, to evaluate opportunities to le-

forts with external academic partners in building wholistic ap-

proaches to combating transnational crime, particularly regarding
wildlife, narcotics, weapons, and human trafficking.
International Megan’s Law.—The recommendation sustains
prior-year investments to continue the implementation of Inter-
national Megan’s Law. ICE is directed to include details about
these efforts in its monthly operational and spending plans and
provide detailed staffing and budget assumptions about this pro-
gram in future budget requests.
Enhancing and Modernizing HSI’s Capabilities.—The Committee
is concerned about the growing complexity and workload associated
with executing HSI’s 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-
erty rights infringement. The Committee recognizes the advanced
investigative skillset of the HSI workforce, its unique compilation
of 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 $99,735,000 above the request, includ-
ing:
• $35,235,000 to restore proposed reductions intended to
achieve undefined efficiencies;
• $10,000,000 to begin increasing HSI’s investigative capac-
ity to respond to projected increases in workload associated
with the planned expansion of CBP’s non-intrusive inspection
detection technology (NII) along the southwest border;
• $2,200,000 to expand and enhance HSI’s undercover activi-
ties, to include modernizing its certified undercover financial
processes, systems, and other requirements;
• $8,600,000 to accelerate development of capabilities for the
Repository for Analytics in a Virtualized Environment
(RAVEn), which serves as HSI’s curation point for data ana-
lytics and tools that improve and streamline investigative proc-
esses and capabilities;
• $2,000,000 for the Center for Countering Human Traf-
ficking;
• $6,000,000 to increase data analysis staffing to support
each Special Agent in Charge office’s area of responsibility;
• $8,400,000 to increase HSI’s cyber investigations, includ-
ing the enhancement of covert computer networks, Dark Web
platforms, undercover platforms, and the Network Intrusion
Program;
• $16,300,000 to develop a cyber threat platform, update
hardware and software for computer forensics, and provide tar-
geted child exploitation investigations training;
• $6,500,000 to fund the training, equipment, travel, soft-
ware, and analysts necessary to address the increase in child
exploitation leads and investigations and increased victim as-
sistance requirements, for a total amount of not less than
$27,500,000 for Child Exploitation Investigation activities; and
• $4,500,000 for the training, equipping, and hiring of

ICE is directed to update the Committee with details about the
use of additional funding provided in the bill to expand these ef-
forts in its monthly operational and spending plans, including both
requested funding and the increases included by the Committee.
Further, ICE shall provide detailed staffing and budget assump-
tions about these efforts in future budget requests.
Additionally, to improve its effectiveness against these threats,
the bill includes a new provision (section 220) to focus HSI activi-
ties on functions that are not redundant to those of ERO. The Com-
mittee also encourages HSI to work with appropriate nonprofit or-
ganizations and victim service providers that can help identify
human trafficking victims, ensuring they receive the proper care
and access to victim service organizations.
HERO Child-Rescue Corps.—The Committee reminds ICE of the
briefing on performance indicators for the HERO program required
by House Report 116–180 and the briefing on the status of the
HERO apprenticeship program required by the explanatory state-
ment accompanying the Department of Homeland Security Appro-
priations Act, 2021, (Public Law 116–260), and looks forward to re-
ceiving these briefings as soon as possible.
CIVIL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS
The recommendation includes changes to the PPA structure by
replacing the ‘‘Enforcement and Removal Operations’’ PPA heading
with ‘‘Civil Immigration Enforcement Operations’’ (CIEO) to clarify
its roles and responsibilities. CIEO funding supports the enforce-
ment of the Nation’s immigration and humanitarian laws through
the identification and apprehension of removable noncitizens; im-
migration adjudication processing of potentially removable nonciti-
zens; enrollment of such individuals into alternatives to detention
programs; providing case management services; detaining appre-
hended individuals who pose a flight risk or are deemed a threat
to public safety; removing noncitizens from the United States, con-
sistent with legal processes and procedures, upon exhaustion of
their legal claims to remain in the United States; and facilitating
the departure of individuals who choose to return voluntarily.
CIEO funding supports a range of programs and activities that
focus on identifying and prioritizing the removal of recent border
crossers and those individuals posing the most significant threats
to national security or public safety, including noncitizens convicted
of crimes who remain a credible threat to public safety or national
security.
CIEO funding also supports ICE’s work with other DHS compo-
nents, states, counties, and localities across the United States to
uphold U.S. immigration and humanitarian laws at, within, and
beyond the borders.
The recommendation further modifies the CIEO sub-PPA struc-
ture by making the following changes:
• The Custody Operations PPA funds civil immigration cus-
tody requirements for potentially-removable single adults as
they undergo initial processing for their immigration court pro-
ceedings, and continued detention for those who pose a threat
to public safety or national security, who are deemed to be a
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
flight risk, or who have materially violated the requirements
of the Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program.

42
• The Immigration Absconder Operations (IAO) PPA re-
places the Fugitive Operations PPA. This funding supports ef-
forts to identify, locate, and take into custody potentially re-
movable noncitizens who present a heightened threat to na-
tional security and public safety.
• The Priority Immigration Enforcement Operations PPA re-
places the Criminal Alien Program PPA and funds the transfer
of custody of removable or potentially removable noncitizens
who have been incarcerated within federal, state, or local pris-
ons and jails.
• The Alternatives to Detention PPA funds the ATD pro-
gram, a cooperative, noncustodial enforcement strategy that
gives individuals a fair chance to comply with immigration
court requirements while mitigating flight risk and noncompli-
ance, which can include case management and, if needed, mon-
itoring and check-in technology. The PPA also funds case man-
agement services, such as the facilitation of compliance with
court hearings and final orders of removal; mental health serv-
ices; human and sex trafficking screening; legal orientation
programs; cultural orientation programs; connections to social
services; and for individuals who will be removed, reintegration
services. Such services may be made available to individuals
released from DHS custody on parole, bond, or who are en-
rolled into an ATD program.
• The Transportation Operations PPA replaces the Trans-
portation and Removal Program PPA. Transportation Oper-
ations provides for the safe and secure transportation of non-
citizens who either are subject to final orders of removal, are
being transported to a detention for processing or longer term
detention, or require transfer to a nearby available municipal
or non-profit shelter, another location within the local commu-
nity, or a public transportation hub. The funding also supports
custody determinations, travel document issuance, and re-
moval processes for post final order cases, and coordinates the
custodial transfer of Unaccompanied Children (UC) from CBP
to HHS shelters.
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, OIG, and
CRCL are directed to provide rigorous oversight of the 287(g) pro-
gram, and ICE is directed to notify the Committee prior to imple-
menting any significant changes to the program, including any
changes to training requirements, data collection, selection criteria,
or the jurisdictions with which ICE has agreements. The Com-
mittee also reminds ICE that communities are not legally required
to enter-into or continue participation in 287(g) agreements and
that immigration enforcement should not be used either to induce
communities to enter or deter them from discontinuing such agree-
ments.
The bill continues and modifies a provision from prior years that
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
prohibits the continued delegation of 287(g) authority to any local
jurisdiction if the OIG determines that the jurisdiction has materi-
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
43
ally violated the requirements of its 287(g) agreement. The modi-
fication requires ICE to also eliminate a delegation of 287(g) au-
thority if the OIG or the ICE Office of Professional Responsibility
determines that the participating jurisdiction violated the civil
rights or liberties of an individual who was subsequently subject to
that jurisdiction’s use of 287(g) authority, unless the Secretary de-
termines that the violation is not part of a pattern or practice or
that the jurisdiction has taken appropriate steps to remediate the
violation.
Addressing Wrongful Deportations.—ICE, USCIS, and other DHS
agencies shall leverage all mechanisms provided by current law to
facilitate the return to the United States of those whose removal
was contrary to law or justice. Such mechanisms should include the
use of humanitarian parole, the support of a respondent’s motion
to reopen, and stipulation to relief from removal. Efforts shall be
taken to ensure that the individual is restored to prior lawful sta-
tus, to the greatest extent possible, or the ability to adjust to lawful
status. Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this
Act, ICE shall brief the Committee 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 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 consider place-
ment in the least restrictive setting. This written certification must
document the specific factors demonstrating that any alternatives
to detention, including but not limited to any recommended 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 individual’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.
ATD and Case Management Services (CMS).—The recommenda-
tion provides an increase of $34,524,000 above the request, for a
total of $475,000,000 for the ATD PPA to fund increases in: enroll-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
ments into the ATD program; case management services and par-
ticipation; transportation and information technology costs for ICE
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
44
personnel travelling to shelters in support of remote processing and
enrollments; and other incidental costs associated with operations
at shelters.
ICE is directed to use the least onerous form of supervision nec-
essary to ensure compliance with the terms of the program; con-
duct regular reviews of each participant’s 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 re-
quired to pay a bond for their release.
The Committee is concerned about the status of the independent
review of the ATD program for which Congress appropriated
$4,000,000 in fiscal year 2020. ICE is again reminded of the re-
quirement that the review and analysis be informed by discussions
with government officials, current program operators, nongovern-
mental immigration policy stakeholders, and current participants
in the program, and by reviewing similar programs in other coun-
tries. The Committee is concerned that it has not yet been con-
sulted as part of this review. Not later than 30 days after the date
of enactment of this Act, ICE shall brief the Committee on the sta-
tus of the review.
Additionally, DHS and ICE are reminded of the now overdue re-
porting and publishing requirements regarding the ATD program
described in the explanatory statement accompanying the Depart-
ment of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2021, (Public Law
116–260); the Committee reiterates the ATD-CMS briefing and
operational directives described therein.
The recommendation also continues the case management serv-
ices grant pilot program, which is funded in the ‘‘Office of the Sec-
retary and Executive Management—Federal Assistance’’ account.
The direction provided in the explanatory statement accompanying
the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2021,
(Public Law 116–260) regarding this program shall again apply to
funding provided in this Act.
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 2022. 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.
Detainee Access to Legal, Medical, and Mental Health Services.—
ICE should not enter into, expand, or renew a contract with any
entity to operate an immigration detention facility unless it is lo-
cated fewer than 100 miles from:
(1) a Level IV (or lower) designated trauma center; and
(2) at least one government-listed, legal aid resource on the
Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) ‘‘List of Pro
Bono Legal Service Providers’’ from which the Director has re-
ceived confirmation that it is able to provide legal services to
detainees at the facility.
ICE is directed to continue adhering to the requirements in
House Report 116–9 regarding legal resources available to detain-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
ees and shall ensure that such information is provided in both
English and Spanish. The Committee reminds ICE of the report re-

45
quired in the explanatory statement accompanying the Department
of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2021, (Public Law 116–
260) regarding access to due process. The recommendation includes
a new provision (section 217) that strengthens opportunities for in-
dividuals in DHS custody to have meaningful access to counsel and
ensure individuals are provided a Know Your Rights presentation,
including prior to any asylum-based interview or proceeding for
those placed into expedited removal.
The Committee again directs ICE to publish on a public facing
website, not later than 30 days after the date of the close of the
fiscal year, a description of the medical and mental health staff-
ing—delineated by position and qualification—at each detention fa-
cility with a capacity to house at least 50 ICE detainees, along with
the average daily population of each facility. The report should in-
dicate the hours of availability of in-person, specialized medical
service typically available during the week; whether any positions
were unfilled for more than one month of the previous year; and
the average detainee wait time for seeing a medical professional.
ICE shall also include in the report the number of individuals
taken into ICE custody with a serious medical or mental health
condition, including pregnant women, and their average and me-
dian lengths of time in ICE custody. The Committee urges ICE to
reinstate the policies in its August 2016 directive on the Identifica-
tion and Monitoring of Pregnant Detainees that was superseded by
its December 2017 update, except that such policies shall be up-
dated to be harmonized with the requirements and legal flexibili-
ties provided in section 219 of this Act.
Detainee Forms.—Consistent with direction provided in the ex-
planatory statement accompanying the Department of Homeland
Security Appropriations Act, 2021, (Public Law 116–260), ICE is di-
rected to make every reasonable attempt to provide forms to de-
tained persons in a language in which the person is conversant, be-
ginning with the forms that detained persons must sign. The Com-
mittee looks forward to receiving the briefing required in such ex-
planatory statement.
Detention Capacity for Single Adults.—The Committee expects
that ICE will require fewer detention beds as it shifts from its his-
toric reliance on a punitive enforcement model toward a more coop-
erative compliance enhancement model through the use of the ATD
program and case management services. Additionally, as described
further below, the recommendation includes a new provision that
provides additional flexibility for releasing individuals from deten-
tion who do not pose a flight risk or public safety threat, which will
further reduce the need for detention capacity.
The Committee also acknowledges that as the Administration
winds down the Migrant Protection Protocols program and eventu-
ally moves towards ending the Order Suspending Introduction of
Certain Persons From Countries Where a Communicable Disease
Exists, which was first issued by HHS on March 20, 2020, there
will be an increase in single adult asylum seekers presenting at the
border whose claims will be initially processed in ICE facilities ac-
cording to title 8 laws and regulations. The Committee is therefore
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
mindful that ICE must sustain adequate resources to support these
operational changes and to prevent overcrowding that would create
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
46
dangerous and inhumane conditions at CBP’s short-term holding
facilities.
To balance the anticipated impact of these policy changes, the
recommendation supports an average daily population (ADP) of
28,500 for single adults for fiscal year 2022, a reduction of 1,500
from the request and 3,000 from the fiscal year 2021 level. Funding
for single adult detention is reduced by $53,252,000 from the re-
quest, which also accounts for savings realized by a reduction in
the number of guaranteed minimum detention beds under contract
by ICE that occurred since enactment of fiscal year 2021 appropria-
tion.
The Committee acknowledges recent efforts to avoid detaining in-
dividuals in ICE custody longer than necessary, but more progress
is needed to better balance humanitarian, due process, and budget
efficiency considerations with the national security and public safe-
ty mission set. Accordingly, the bill includes a new provision (sec-
tion 219) that requires the Secretary to approve a segmented risk
classification assessment process to determine whether a detained
individual is a flight risk or public safety threat, and to ensure
whether the individual is an immigration enforcement priority ac-
cording to official guidance provided to the ICE’s field offices. In
contrast to the current risk classification process, this provision re-
quires that custody determinations be made in an individualized,
documented manner, and requires collaboration with CRCL and
OIDO in developing the new process. Assessments must be con-
ducted for each individual in custody for 14 or more days and must
be completed within 20 days of entering custody, or 10 days for in-
dividuals who self-identify as transgender. If the assessment re-

the individual should be released. All other individuals shall have
their cases reviewed each month by the OIDO.
Immigration Detention Contract Transparency.—Consistent with
the direction provided in the explanatory statement accompanying
the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2021,
(Public Law 116–260), ICE is directed to continue the monthly pub-
lishing of a consolidated compilation of contract documents for each
of the facilities it uses for immigration detention purposes, includ-
ing the most current and complete contract modification or adden-
dum, any subcontracts, and all bid solicitation requests.
Immigration Enforcement at Sensitive Locations.—The Com-
mittee is encouraged by recent updated guidance regarding Civil
Immigration Enforcement Actions in or near courthouses, which
will help victims and witnesses feel safe in coming forward to tes-
tify against those who commit criminal acts. ICE is directed to fol-
low its policy regarding enforcement actions at or near all other
sensitive locations, and is encouraged to examine the impacts of ex-
panding the policy to additional locations not currently included,
such as school bus stops or other locations where children con-
gregate; USCIS offices; mental health, emergency, and social serv-
ices centers; and other locations where community impacts could be
better balanced against ICE immigration enforcement interests.
ICE is again directed to provide its officers with guidance and
training for engaging with victims and witnesses of crime, includ-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
ing victims of domestic violence, and to strengthen policy guidance
on enforcement actions in or near sensitive locations in order to

47
minimize any effect that immigration enforcement may have on the
willingness and ability of victims and witnesses to pursue justice.
Menstrual Hygiene Products in Immigration Detention Facili-
ties.—The Committee is concerned by reports of ICE detention fa-
cility operators failing to provide adequate menstrual hygiene prod-
ucts to detainees. ICE shall immediately address this deficiency to
ensure that such products are available, as needed, at detention fa-
cilities. ICE, together with OIDO, shall brief the Committee not
later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act regarding
the status of ICE’s compliance with this requirement.
Migrant Shelter Grants.—The Committee supports the Adminis-
tration’s recent operational shift away from the extended detention
of families and notes that ICE’s current short-term custody ap-
proach is intended to hold families for 72-hours or less for the pur-
poses of transportation out of CBP short-term holding facilities;
completion of any needed processing documentation; testing for
COVID–19 or assessment for other health concerns; 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. The Committee notes,
however, that the budget request did not propose new resources to
fully support this alternative approach, instead proposing
$271,062,000 to sustain detention capacity for families at existing
family residential centers, consistent with prior years. Accordingly,
the recommendation does not include this proposed funding.
The recommendation instead provides $100,000,000 under a new
Federal Assistance account, to be transferred to FEMA for the
award of grants to support noncustodial migrant processing and
enrollment into ATD and case management services in nongovern-
mental shelters. Such funding shall be available for the incidental
costs incurred by shelter operators in support of these operations,
including space accommodations for personnel supporting ATD and
case management enrollment. ICE is directed to ensure that, ab-
sent exigent circumstances, any personnel operating at shelters not
wear law enforcement uniforms and shall work with shelter opera-
tors to ensure, to the greatest extent practical, that ICE’s processes
be performed in a setting segregated and out of plain site from the
rest of the shelter.
Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
ICE, in collaboration with FEMA, shall brief the Committees on its
strategy for noncustodial operations associated with migrant proc-
essing at these shelters, along with an expenditure plan for ICE
operational costs and for the use of the grant funding.
Phone Access in Detention.—The Committee is concerned that
many migrants in ICE custody still do not have access to telephone
services to contact legal and case support services. The Committee
directs ICE to enable detainee phone use and produce an imple-
mentation plan to comply with both the Lyon v. ICE, et al. Settle-
ment Agreement and section 221 of the bill at each ICE detention
facility by not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this
Act. ICE shall ensure detainees are able to place direct,
unmonitored calls from private phone booths to legal services and
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
nonprofit service providers at no cost. Not later than 30 days after
the date of enactment of this Act, ICE shall brief the Committee

48
on the status of the plan, a schedule for achieving full compliance
with these requirements, and any other efforts to improve detainee
phone access.
Religious Minorities.—Congress and the Department of State
have recognized that genocide has been committed by foreign ter-
rorist organizations and their affiliates against religious and ethnic
minorities in Iraq, including Yezidis and Christians. The Com-
mittee recommends that ICE refrain from prioritizing the deporta-
tion of people who will be subject to violent persecution and death
in their countries of origin.
Removal and Detention Reporting.—The Department shall con-
tinue to submit data on the removal of parents of U.S.-born chil-
dren semiannually, as in prior years, and shall also report semi-
annually on removals of members of the armed services who have
either been discharged or separated from service other than for dis-
honorable or bad conduct.
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. The Committee notes this report was first required in the ex-
planatory statement accompanying the Department of Homeland
Security Appropriations Act, 2019, (Public Law 116–6), and ICE
has failed to comply with that requirement. The Committee urges
ICE to expedite the delivery of that report.
Reporting on Criminality and Enforcement Priorities.—ICE is di-
rected to continue monthly reporting regarding criminality, as de-
scribed in House Report 116–9. Further, ICE shall provide monthly
reports on detention and removal actions by category delineated in
the anticipated final guidance that will replace the current ‘‘In-
terim Guidance: Civil Immigration Enforcement and Removal Pri-
orities’’, dated February 18, 2021. Both data sets shall differentiate
individuals detained or removed as a result of interior enforcement
efforts versus those from CBP border security operations.
Voluntary Work Program.—The recommendation includes a new
provision (section 221) establishing that the allowances provided to
detained individuals for work performed in detention facilities may
not be less than the local prevailing minimum wage. The bill in-
cludes an increase of $10,000,000 above the request to begin imple-
menting this requirement in fiscal year 2022.
OFFICE OF THE PRINCIPAL LEGAL ADVISOR (OPLA)
Access to Counsel.—The bill includes a new provision (section
217) requiring the Secretary and the CRCL Officer to each certify
that the provision’s increased requirements to improve access to
counsel, prospective counsel, and Know Your Rights presentations
are satisfied.

Prosecutorial Discretion and OPLA Enhancements.—The Com-
mittee is encouraged by the recent updated guidance issued by the

Principal Legal Advisor on May 27, 2021, entitled, ‘‘Interim Guid-
ance to OPLA Attorneys Regarding Civil Immigration Enforcement
and Removal Policies and Priorities.’’ Given this shift towards in-
creasing the humane use of prosecutorial discretion and in support
of efforts to address the significant immigration case backlog, the
recommendation includes increases above fiscal year 2021 levels of
$15,000,000 to hire additional OPLA attorneys and for related fa-
cility requirements; and $6,851,000 for OPLA’s case management
system, as requested. The Committee encourages OPLA, in collabo-
ration with USCIS, CBP, the Executive Office for Immigration Re-
view, and other stakeholders, as appropriate, to explore opportuni-
ties to share immigration case files and other relevant information
more efficiently and securely between agencies in an online envi-
ronment. Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment
of this Act, the Principal Legal Advisor and other stakeholders
shall brief the Committee regarding the feasibility and cost-benefit
analysis of using commercial off-the-shelf solutions capable of rap-
idly improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the immigration
adjudication process through better sharing and presenting of case
files, exhibits, multimedia materials, and other evidence among
agencies, with respondents and detainees, and at hearings.
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.
MISSION SUPPORT
The recommendation breaks out Mission Support PPA funding
into three new sub-PPAs: Enterprise Services; Office of Profes-
sional Responsibility; and Executive Leadership and Oversight; this
approach is consistent with the Mission Support PPA structure for
CBP. The Executive Leadership and Oversight PPA includes fund-
ing for the following offices: Office of the Director, including the
Deputy Director and the Chief of Staff; Congressional Relations;
Diversity and Civil Rights; Firearms and Tactical Programs; Part-
nership and Engagement; and Public Affairs.
Body Worn Cameras.—The Committee continues to believe that
the use of body-worn cameras would be beneficial for the execution
of many ICE operations and is disappointed that the agency has
only recently begun efforts to design a pilot program. The Com-
mittee is concerned that under the current plan, the pilot would re-
quire 30 months to complete and is too limited in scope to evaluate
camera use in disparate operational settings, which could lead to
further delays in their full deployment to the field. The Committee
is also disappointed with the lack of identified resources to execute
the pilot program in the fiscal year 2022 request. Therefore, the
recommendation includes an increase of $3,000,000 above the re-
quest for the Office of the Chief Information Officer, in collabora-
tion with other agency stakeholders, to accelerate the pilot program
and to ensure the pilot is appropriately scoped.
Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
ICE and CRCL shall provide a joint briefing to the Committee on
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
the updates to the plan for the pilot; the metrics for success; an ex-
penditure plan for the $3,000,000 increase; any anticipated civil

liberties or other concerns that may present challenges; how re-
corded footage will interface with Freedom of Information Act re-
quirements; specific activities/operations where the use of body-
worn cameras could compromise undercover criminal investiga-
tions; and activities where the use of body-worn cameras would be
of particular benefit to the safety and wellbeing of officers, agents,
detainees, and the public. The briefing shall identify opportunities
to significantly accelerate the pilot program and a plan to transi-
tion to the field the use of these cameras. It shall also identify any
risks in accelerating the pilot, along with mitigation strategies to
address those risks.
Data Modernization Roadmap.—The recommendation provides
an increase of $5,000,000 above the request to the Office of the
Chief Information Officer to improve the use of data to better in-
form ICE’s planning, budgeting, and operations.
Fleet.—The recommendation includes an increase of $25,000,000
above the request for the ICE fleet replacement program to im-
prove the safety of ICE officers and agents.
Office of Detention Oversight (ODO).—The Committee is con-
cerned that gaps remain in the design and plans for inspections
and oversight at ICE’s civil detention facilities. The recommenda-
tion includes an increase of $2,500,000 above the request to sup-
port additional, unannounced inspections; to review 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 to conduct reviews and inspec-
tions of any special or emerging facilities and programs. Not later
than 120 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 a detailed description of the process it will use
for detention facility inspections.
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 shall 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 3 busi-
ness days of approval. Additionally, ICE shall report publicly on a
quarterly basis on any waivers issued, including the justification
for each such waiver.
Reliance on Gang Databases.—The Committee is concerned that
ICE relies on inaccurate, incomplete, or otherwise flawed databases
in order to issue detainer requests, which often have the effect of
extending a person’s period of criminal incarceration or civil immi-
gration detention. Not later than 90 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, the Director of ICE, in consultation with the
CRCL Officer, shall contract with an independent organization to
conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the accuracy of the data-

Credential Authentication.—The recommendation includes
$24,600,000, as requested, for the nationwide deployment of cre-
dential authentication technology (CAT). The Committee is aware
of TSA’s interest in deploying technology that will minimize phys-
ical contact between screeners and passengers, including CAT with
Camera (CAT-C). Not later than 90 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, TSA shall provide a briefing on technology in use,
being deployed or being considered that would reduce physical con-
tact with passengers including CAT-C. As part of this briefing, TSA
shall address how this implementation will impact the Registered
Traveler Program and any steps TSA is taking to mitigate such im-
pact. The briefing shall also address steps being taken to safeguard
passenger privacy.
Exit Lane Staffing Report.—The Committee encourages effective
use of TSA staff resources and directs TSA to provide a briefing,
within 90 days of the date of enactment of this Act, on the safety
and efficiency impacts of utilizing local law enforcement partner-
ships to staff airport exit lanes under TSA oversight.
Federal Flight Deck Officer (FFDO).—The Committee rec-
ommends the requested $20,263,000 for the FFDO program to ex-
pand Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) training
capacity to accommodate an increased volume of pilot candidates
entering the program and to support required recurrent training.
The Committee appreciates the value of the FFDO Recurrent
Training Center in Atlanta, GA, in making training more conven-
ient and efficient for FFDOs. While the Committee supports the
shared opportunity to cross-purpose the training center for Federal
Air Marshal (FAMS) training, the Committee recommends that the
Center prioritize recurrent training for FFDOs as intended for the
facility. Additionally, the Committee recommends that TSA con-
sider locating a recurrent training facility in the western U.S. to
support officers based on the West Coast. Finally, the Committee
encourages TSA to facilitate access to firearms and recurrent train-
ing facilities per the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act. The Com-
mittee directs TSA to provide a briefing not later than 60 days
after the date of enactment of this Act on FFDO Program enroll-
ment, utilization numbers for FFDO recurrent training, and FFDO
firearms recertification training.
Integrated Security Enterprise.—The Committee continues to
support TSA’s efforts to develop open architecture requirements for
transportation security equipment, which should include well de-
fined requirements and standards. Similar to the open architecture
enterprise utilized in the medical industry, the Committee urges
TSA to fully define its proposed end state, including all workflows
and interfaces across the aviation security domain.
Modernization and Interoperable Gateway System (IGS) Commu-
nications Pilot Program.—The Committee recognizes the need to
expand TSA’s existing framework of IGS technology currently de-
ployed by TSA specialized programs and security operations
throughout general airport operations. This system connects radio,
voice, text, video, and data files in a secure environment available
to the agencies and personnel that make up airport and law en-
forcement operations. The Committee encourages TSA to consider

United States to expand the existing framework and close any
interoperability gaps. TSA is directed to brief the Committee with-
in 120 days of the date of enactment of this Act on the feasibility,
potential benefits, cost, and schedule for such a pilot program.
REAL ID Act.—The Committee notes that full implementation of
REAL ID Act minimum document requirements and issuance
standards for federal recognition has been postponed until May 3,
2023, due to the impact of the COVID–19 pandemic on the oper-
ations of state motor vehicle department operations. Not later than
180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Committee di-
rects TSA to provide a briefing on: (1) alternative screening proce-
dures (in accordance with section 7220(c) of Title VII, Public Law
108–458 (49 U.S.C. 44901 note)) widely available for passengers
who do not have credentials that meet the requirements of section
202 of the REAL ID Act; and (2) TSA’s efforts to prepare for en-
forcement of REAL ID requirements at TSA checkpoints.
Real-Time Wait Time Information at Security Checkpoints.—The
Committee supports TSA’s efforts to inform the traveling public
about real-time wait times at TSA screening checkpoints, con-
sistent with the requirements of the FAA Reauthorization Act of
2018 (Public Law 115–254). The Committee believes disseminating
this information via websites, mobile device applications or on in-
airport screens helps the traveling public appropriately plan their
trips and helps alert TSA about wait time lags so they can be
quickly addressed.
Touchless Security Identification.—TSA shall provide activity-
level details in its budget justification materials for activities asso-
ciated with the development and implementation of voluntary, ac-
curate, reliable, and secure biometric identification options for pas-
sengers enrolled in PreCheck.
Ultraviolet-C (UVC) Equipment for Screening Checkpoints.—The
Committee is aware that TSA has established a pilot program to
install and deploy UVC technology, both standalone systems and
systems for automated screening lanes, capable of extinguishing
the presence of bacteria and viruses on trays at the security check-
points. The Committee encourages further development of this ini-
tiative and directs TSA to provide a briefing, within 90 days of the
date of enactment of this Act, on the potential benefits, feasibility,
and funding requirements for future deployment of this technology
at all Category X airports.

MISSION
The Coast Guard is the principal federal agency charged with
maritime safety, security, and stewardship. It is a military, multi-
mission, maritime service within the Department of Homeland Se-
curity and one of the nation’s five armed services.
OPERATIONS & SUPPORT

The recommendation continues and expands upon on the Com-
mittee’s support for the Coast Guard, including the following in-
creases above the request: $20,000,000 for tuition assistance parity;
$7,150,000 for recruiting and supporting a diverse workforce;
$5,500,000 for an accession competitiveness pilot program;
$6,000,000 for cyber compliance upgrades to training center sim-
ulators and trainers; $2,800,000 to modernize Ready Learning and
recapitalize training aids; $30,050,000 for operational command
and control (C2) and domain awareness; $12,000,000 for MH-60T
cutter deployability; $4,000,000 for surface short range communica-
tions modernization; $8,900,000 for Rescue 21 modernization;
$10,000,000 to recapitalize operational safety and detection equip-
ment; $11,900,000 for cyber readiness; and $5,000,000 for the Na-
tional Coast Guard Museum.
The Committee acknowledges the Coast Guard is in a transition
year with a new budget structure for this account. To lessen the
risk of end of year vulnerabilities, the Committee includes more
flexible reprogramming authority for this fiscal year, rather than
the requested contingency funding. The Committee expects the
Coast Guard to report end of fiscal year obligations in the sub-PPA
structure provided with the fiscal year 2022 budget materials not
later than 60 days after the end of the fiscal year. The Committee
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
also expects the fiscal year 2023 budget justification materials to
be provided with the same sub-PPA level of detail.

Coast Guard Museum.—The recommendation includes
$5,000,000 for the Coast Guard Museum, which may be used for
the preservation and protection of Coast Guard artifacts, the de-
sign, fabrication, and installation of exhibits or displays in which
these artifacts are included, or other authorized activities. The
Coast Guard is directed to brief the Committee on a plan for the
use of these funds prior to their obligation.
Electronic Health Records.—The Coast Guard is directed to brief
the Committee not later than 120 days after the date of enactment
of this Act on its ongoing activities related to the digital transition
of Coast Guard legacy health records to the MHS Genesis system,
including timelines and costs associated with the transition.
Great Lakes Icebreaker Program.—The Coast Guard is tasked by
Executive Order to carry out icebreaking efforts in support of com-
merce. The Committee is concerned that in recent years, perform-
ance metrics for icebreaking on the Great Lakes has been redefined
by the availability of assets, rather than mission requirements,
often with severe economic impacts. As the Coast Guard begins to
define its requirements for the recapitalization of ice breaking as-
sets in the Great Lakes, the Committee directs the Coast Guard to
incorporate historical measures of performance. Not later than 180
days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Coast Guard is
directed to brief the Committee on such performance measures and
other considerations for planning the recapitalization of assets in
the Great Lakes.
Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing.—The Com-
mittee understands that IUU fishing is related to piracy, drug traf-
ficking, human trafficking, and forced labor, and has accounted for
billions of dollars in losses for the global fishing industry. The
Coast Guard is directed, not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, to submit an international IUU strategy to
preserve the integrity and free flow of commerce, protect natural
resources and food security, and contribute to socioeconomic sta-
bility in the regions impacted by IUU. The strategy should identify
resource requirements for increased monitoring; the collection of
enforcement-quality data and intelligence; real-time response by
surface-based enforcement assets; and IUU enforcement personnel
and training.
Interoperable Gateway System Technology (IGS).—The Coast
Guard is encouraged to explore the feasibility and value of incor-
porating IGS technology into its operations and brief the Com-
mittee on the results of its assessment not later than 120 days
after the date of enactment of this Act.

tion Act for Fiscal Year 2021, which required a National Academies
of Sciences report and recommendations on the challenges in main-
taining examination efficiency under the Certificate of Compliance
inspection program as LNG export traffic increases at U.S. ports.
Natural Disaster Resiliency.—The Committee remains interested
in the Coast Guard’s efforts to complete its Shore Infrastructure
Vulnerabilities Assessments (SIVA), which identify and document
risks to Coast Guard facilities from natural hazards and rec-
ommend actions to mitigate those risks.The Coast Guard shall brief
the Committee not later than 120 days after the date of enactment
of this Act on the status of its SIVA efforts, to include the results
and recommendations of assessments completed to date, the ex-
pected timeline to complete all remaining assessment phases, and
any resource requirements for accelerating the pace of assess-
ments. Additionally, not later than 90 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, the Coast Guard shall brief the Committee on
current natural hazard emergency preparedness and evacuation
plans, to include the threat of tsunamis, as well as costs and op-
tions to improve those plans.
Non-lethal Escalation of Force Capability.—Not later than 120
days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Coast Guard shall
brief the Committee on a comprehensive evaluation of commer-
cially available technologies for the non-lethal escalation of force
for hailing and warning small maritime craft or for land-based per-
sonnel. The assessment should include reviews of modern tech-
nologies, such as non-lethal, laser-based technologies, and should
include products manufactured by small businesses.
Powered Ascenders for Rotary-Wing Fleet.—The Committee recog-
nizes the importance of redundant systems for aviation rescue op-
erations and encourages the Coast Guard to consider equipping its
rotary-wing aircraft with light weight, portable, powered ascenders
with lift capacity equivalent to conventional rescue hoists.
Radio Frequency Satellite Technology.—The Committee is aware
of commercial, space-based radio frequency detection technologies
that can be used to track maritime vessels even when those vessels
turn off their Automatic Identification Systems. The Committee
urges the Coast Guard to test and evaluate this technology and as-
sess its value to intelligence gathering and law enforcement efforts
to address illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing, especially
in remote maritime regions of economic, environmental, and na-
tional security significance in the Indo-Pacific and Arctic regions.
Small Arms Simulation.—The Committee understands the im-
portance of ensuring the Coast Guard has appropriate training
tools for personnel to meet cognitive decision-making demands and
small arms readiness skills required for unique operational envi-
ronments. The Committee encourages the Coast Guard to explore
the use of performance based, small arms simulation training tech-
nologies to help improve cognitive skills, operator situational
awareness, and judgement in high-risk operations.
STARBASE Program.—The Committee supports the Coast
Guard’s efforts to engage with the Department of Defense on the
youth STARBASE program, which provides ‘‘hands-on, minds-on’’

mittee encourages an emphasis on oceanography and limnology
programs and partnerships with minority-serving institutions.
Towing Vessel Inspection Fee.—The Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard
Authorization Act of 2018 directed the Coast Guard to review and
compare the costs to the government of towing vessel inspections
performed directly by the Coast Guard and those performed
through the Towing Safety Management System (TSMS). Based on
that review, the Act requires the Coast Guard to revise user fee for
each inspection option to reflect its actual cost. Not later than 60
days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Coast Guard is
directed to brief the Committee on the progress of its assessment
and rulemaking to distinguish between user fees charged to vessel
owners using the Coast Guard and TSMS options.

Financial Crimes.—The Committee notes that the Secret Service
is a lead federal agency in the effort to protect U.S. consumers,
banks, and small businesses from complex, cyber-enabled financial
crimes. This includes such crimes as Business Email Compromise
scams, network intrusions, online identity theft, and the use of
electronic ‘‘skimming’’ devices, typically at gas station pumps or
ATM machines, that steal encoded information from debit and
credit cards. The Committee recognizes the efforts of the Secret
Service’s Cyber Fraud Task Force (CFTF) to combat skimming
across the United States, as well as the work of the National Com-
puter Forensics Institute (NCFI) to train and equip state, local, and
tribal law enforcement personnel to effectively investigate and
prosecute electronic crimes, including skimming. The Committee
strongly supports these efforts and fully funds the request for Field
Operations of $748,551,000, through which CFTF and NCFI are
funded.
NSSE Designations.—The Secret Service is the lead federal agen-
cy for planning, coordination and implementation of security oper-
ation for NSSEs, including Presidential inaugurations, Democratic
and Republican National Conventions, state funerals, and certain
widely attended events. Based on the growing threat of domestic
terrorism and extremist violence in the United States, the Com-
mittee directs the Secret Service to provide a report, not later than
180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, assessing how de-
cision making about NSSE designations should be updated to bet-
ter account for such threats. The report should include an evalua-
tion of the lessons learned in light of the attack on the U.S. Capitol
on January 6, 2020, and an assessment of how future events at or
in the vicinity of the Capitol building—and in particular the count-
ing of electoral votes by Congress—should be more thoroughly eval-
uated for NSSE designation.

tion Analysis Center (NISAC).
The Committee is pleased with the progress towards providing
more details in CISA’s budget justification materials, specifically
the details at the PPA level at which Congress allocates funding.
However, more information is needed to better understand the full
scope of the planned program activities, strategic outlook, and
planning assumptions for CISA’s acquisition programs, especially
the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) and the Na-
tional Cybersecurity Protection System (NCPS) programs. Without
such information, Congress lacks necessary information to make
strategic funding decisions and understand the timelines associated
with efforts to mitigate cybersecurity, infrastructure security, and
emergency communications risks and vulnerabilities.
Additionally, CISA is directed to continue to provide the quar-
terly spend plan and hiring briefings required by the explanatory
statement accompanying the Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act, 2021, (Public Law 116–260), to be updated for
the funding provided in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,

partner with the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Depart-
ment of Defense, and the Office of Personnel Management to estab-
lish a plan to recruit, train, and educate personnel; shift military
veterans into federal service upon discharge from active duty or en-
gage reservists in civilian cyber workforce roles; manage digital ca-
reers; and set standards for digital workforce qualifications. This
CyberCorps workforce model should build on the NSF’s Scholarship
for Service program. Not later than 120 days after the date of en-
actment of this Act, CISA shall brief the Committee on progress to-
wards the development of this plan, to include anticipated re-
sources needed to expand the ranks of federal civilian cyber profes-
sionals.
Cyber Defense Education and Training Program (CDET).—The
Committee provides an increase above the request of $11,800,000
to support CDET, of which $5,000,000 is to further expand the Fed-
eral Cyber Reskilling Academy and $6,800,000 is for sustaining fis-
cal year 2021 investments in cybersecurity education programs tar-
geting the Kindergarten through 12th grade (K–12) community, in-
cluding the Cybersecurity Education and Training Assistance Pro-
gram (CETAP). CISA is encouraged to support a mix of geographi-
cally diverse individual higher education institutions, including in
non-contiguous states, that are focused on connecting K–12 learn-
ers and environments with post-secondary education and resources.
The Committee notes that once again, education and training
programs for the non-federal workforce were not funded in the
President’s budget request. CISA is directed to work in collabora-
tion with OMB and other agencies as needed to develop a strategy
for addressing these requirements in future budget requests and to
brief the Committee not later than 15 days after the date of sub-
mission of the fiscal year 2023 budget request regarding such strat-
egy.
Cyber Directives Management.—In support of requirements and
anticipated workload in executing the Executive Order on Improv-
ing the Nation’s Cybersecurity, May 12, 2021 (EO 14028), the rec-
ommendation includes an increase of $1,850,000 above the request
to expand CISA’s capacity for directives development and enforce-
ment.
Cyber Workforce Support from the Department of Defense.—The
Committee recognizes the dramatic increase in cybersecurity en-

nerability to future and more widespread and damaging breaches.
CISA is encouraged to maximize the use of its statutory hiring au-
thorities, including section 1650 of the fiscal year 2019 National
Defense Authorization Act, to help address its growing mission
space, particularly with regard to intrusions involving foreign ad-
versaries.
Cybersecurity Briefings.—The Committee directs CISA to con-
tinue providing semiannual briefing on the NCPS and CDM pro-
grams, as described in House Report 116–180.
Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Coordination in Ports.—
In division J of Public Law 115–254, Congress directed DHS to de-
velop and implement a maritime cyber security risk model and
make recommendations on enhancing the sharing of cybersecurity
information. The Committee directs the CISA and the Coast Guard
to brief the Committee, not later than 90 days after the date of en-
actment of this Act, on the steps taken to fulfill these requirements
and on current risks and challenges for port security.
Cybersecurity Shared Services Office.—Through the Cybersecu-
rity Shared Services Office, CISA serves as the Quality Services
Management Office for federal cybersecurity. To continue to sup-
port efforts to make strategic cybersecurity services available to
federal agencies through this office, the recommendation includes
$17,672,000, as requested.
Data Security Resilience.—The Committee is increasingly con-
cerned with the ability of adversaries to circumvent and use exist-
ing cybersecurity solutions to gain access to critical systems and
data. The Committee directs the Secretary to submit a report to
the Committee, not later than 180 days after the date of enactment
of this Act, that examines existing security vulnerabilities of gov-
ernment IT systems. The report shall include an examination of
emerging technologies that could improve the government’s data
security and protection, such as data shielding and immutable log-
ging of suspect activity, instant threat and anomaly detection
mechanisms, and user behavior analytics.
Joint Cyber Planning Office (JCPO).—The recommendation in-
cludes not less than $36,723,000 for the JCPO, $26,153,000 above
the fiscal year 2021 enacted level and $16,153,000 above the re-
quest. This additional investment is intended to help support the
development and exercise of defensive cybersecurity campaign
plans in conjunction with interagency partners and critical infra-
structure owners and operators, consistent with subtitle A of title
XXII of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 as amended by section
1715 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Author-
ization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21 NDAA). Funding will be
used to hire personnel; reimburse the cost of personnel detailed to
the JCPO from other federal agencies; and support cyber defense
collaboration among federal, SLTT, and private sector partners
through the development of a common operating picture. In coordi-
nation with the Cyber Safety Review Board called for by EO 14028,
the funding is also intended to establish a robust analytic capa-
bility for examining current plans and prior cyber incidents for les-
sons learned and best practices that can inform future cyber de-
fense plans.

EO 14028. Key lessons learned from CISA’s work coordinating pro-
tection of health care assets tied to vaccine development and dis-
tribution should inform work on priority areas of defensive cam-
paign planning, such as election security and ransomware. The
Committee expects CISA to collaborate with industry partners and
interagency components, including the FBI and Department of Jus-
tice; Sector Risk Management Agencies; the National Security
Agency Cybersecurity Directorate; the National Institute of Stand-
ards and Technology; and the State Department in developing cam-
paign plans tailored to areas of high cybersecurity risk.
Further, as directed by section 1731 of the FY21 NDAA, the Sec-
retary is required to submit a report on ‘‘Federal cybersecurity cen-
ters and the potential for better coordination of Federal cybersecu-
rity efforts at an integrated cybersecurity center within the Cyber-
security and Infrastructure Security Agency.’’ CISA is directed to
provide this report to the Committee, along with the details of any
plans regarding the establishment of such a center.
Monitoring Internet-facing Attack Surfaces.—Department of De-
fense (DoD) internet operations management capabilities, as out-
lined in the ‘‘Department of Defense network external visibility’’ re-
port required by the FY21 NDAA, enable continuous discovery,
monitoring, and management of DoD Internet-facing systems and
assets. Unlike DoD, CISA remains heavily-dependent on manual
self-reporting for situational awareness of internet-facing attack
surfaces, creating a fractured and inaccurate snapshot of
vulnerabilities in the Federal civilian cybersecurity ecosystem.
Therefore, not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of
this Act, CISA shall brief the Committee on its existing attack sur-
face management capabilities and its plan to enhance the visibility
of department and agency network activity and vulnerabilities with
state-of-the-art technologies, including assessments of both govern-
ment-developed technologies and commercially-available solutions.
Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS–
ISAC).—The recommendation includes $37,714,000, an increase of
$10,700,00 above the request, to sustain and expand the program’s
capabilities and expertise, to include SLTT election security sup-
port via the Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Anal-
ysis Center; endpoint detection and response; malicious domain ac-
tivity blocking and reporting; expansion of the MS–ISAC cyber inci-
dent response team and its capabilities; a National Prevention Pilot
to provide an unclassified Unified Threat Management service for
election and SLTT partners; and improving threat intelligence and
data retention and storage capabilities. Not later than 90 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, and quarterly thereafter,
CISA and the MS–ISAC shall brief the Committee on an obligation
and expenditure plan for fiscal year 2022, including a schedule of
planned obligations; hiring actions; anticipated milestones; and the
use of carryover balances.
Strengthening Federal Networks.—The recommendation includes
an increase of $700,000 to support activities authorized by section
1705 of the fiscal year 2021 NDAA to assist federal agencies with
post-incident containment, eradication, and recovery activities. The
federal response to the SolarWinds campaign reflected areas for
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
needed maturation in the civilian enterprise’s ability to thoroughly
respond to incidents through remediation. This need was further

67
supported by EO 14028, which directed CISA to assume a more ac-
tive role ensuring agencies’ progress and completion through all
phases of an incident response.
Threat Hunting.—The recommendation includes an increase of
$24,000,000 above the request to increase cyber defensive oper-
ations in support of federal civilian agencies and non-federal net-
works, including SLTT governments and other critical infrastruc-
ture operators. CISA is encouraged to establish emulation capabili-
ties to better understand complex adversaries, identify breaches
earlier in a campaign, and otherwise disrupt malign activity more
quickly once a compromise is uncovered. This additional funding is
also intended to bolster CISA’s capacity to quickly issue proactive
guidance based on intelligence and learned behaviors after the
positive identification of a compromise.
Voluntary Threat Detection Programs.—The recommendation in-
cludes an increase above the request of $95,549,000 for
CyberSentry and other efforts focused on voluntary threat detection
by critical infrastructure operators through the placement of sen-
sors at the boundary between operational technology and informa-
tion technology systems. Funds will be used for additional per-
sonnel; the procurement and installation of sensors; system inte-
gration support; and contractor support for coordinating with par-
ticipating organizations.
Vulnerability Management Infrastructure.—The Committee rec-
ognizes that as the number of networked devices across cyberspace
has increased exponentially, so has the number of identified and
reported vulnerabilities in the software and hardware that operates
critical infrastructure globally. The Committee provides an increase
of $10,000,000 above the request for the underlying infrastructure
and support functions that enable better identification, analysis,
and publication of known vulnerabilities and common attack pat-
terns, including through the National Vulnerability Database, and
to expand the coordinated responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities.
INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY
Bombing Prevention.—The Committee is encouraged by the ef-
forts of the Office for Bombing Prevention (OBP) to address the
proliferation and use of Improvised Explosive Devices and rec-
ommends $7,526,000 above the request to expand those efforts and
continue the services provided through the Bomb-making Materials
Awareness Program. OBP activities include critical Counter-Impro-
vised Explosive Device training; information sharing; capability
analysis; technical assistance; and coordination initiatives for fed-
eral, SLTT, and private sector partners. The Committee directs
DHS to provide a plan within 90-days of the enactment of this Act
for the obligation and expenditure of these funds.
JCPO Exercises.—In furtherance of section 1715 of the FY21
NDAA, the recommendation includes an increase of $2,244,000
above the request to support JCPO-organized cyber defense exer-
cises that improve public and private sector awareness of JCPO
planning guidance and playbooks and improve operational coordi-
nation to protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity
risks or incidents. Such exercises also provide a venue for increas-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
ing the collective understanding of adversary threats to critical in-
frastructure and other national targets of interest, along with the

68
vulnerability of such infrastructure and the potential consequences
of disrupting it.
National Cyber Exercises.—In furtherance of section 1744 of the
FY21 NDAA, the recommendation includes $3,367,000 for the plan-
ning and execution of national cyber exercises. These exercises
shall involve the executive branch, state governments, the private
sector, and international partners, and shall include members of
Congress and congressional staff as observers.
Soft Targets & Crowded Places.—The Committee recognizes the
evolving nature of terrorist threats and commends the Depart-
ment’s prioritization of defending soft targets and crowded places,
which are at particular risk for terrorist attacks and targeted vio-
lence, and recommends $8,000,000 to continue CISA’s efforts in
this area. The Committee instructs S&T to test and evaluate exist-
ing, commercially available technologies that will enhance security
for public gathering venues in a way that is scalable and cost-effec-
tive. DHS shall focus on integrated hardware and software solu-
tions that enhance the security posture of these venues through
monitoring, early-warning and alerting, and advanced analytics.
DHS is also encouraged to focus on solutions that enhance the se-
curity posture of soft targets and crowded places in a way that
minimizes the need for physical changes to these spaces and pro-
tects individual privacy.
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
First Responder Emergency Medical Communications.—The Com-
mittee is aware of CISA support for merit-based demonstration
projects for the benefit of SLTT governments and implementation
of the National Emergency Communications Plan. The Committee
encourages continued pursuit and nationwide expansion of these ef-
forts to identify innovations in the forms of enhanced governance,
curriculum development, training and exercises, and supplies for
improving rural medical care through emergency communications.
Next Generation Networks (NGN) Priority Services (PS).—The
Committee provides an increase of $1,000,000 above the request for
additional support staff required to accelerate development and de-
ployment of NGN–PS Phase 2 video, data, and information serv-
ices.
INTEGRATED OPERATIONS
Security Advisors (SA).—The recommendation includes an in-
crease of $17,100,000 above the request to increase the number of
SAs and other regional staff needed to help support CISA’s regional
operations. The Committee recognizes the workload in this critical
area is expanding and additional resourcing is required to expand
regional capacity to provide security and risk mitigation services.
Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
CISA shall report on the strategy and implementation plan for ex-
panding regional capacity, to include a workload staffing model de-
tailing the resourcing for Cyber Security Advisors , Physical Secu-
rity Advisors, Chemical Inspectors, and other regional support
staff. As part of the model, CISA shall consider whether the re-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
gional staffing requirements would benefit from introducing or in-
creasing discipline-specific specialists.

RISK MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
Continuity of the Economy Plan.—The recommendation provides
an increase of $200,000 above the request for activities in further-
ance of section 9603 of the FY21 NDAA related to the development
of a Continuity of the Economy Plan.
Cybersecurity Insurance and Data Analysis Working Group.—
CISA is directed to create a public-private working group to help
develop frameworks and models for understanding and pricing
cyber risk and to identify areas of interest for pooling public and
private sector data that can inform better, more accurate risk mod-
els to be used for national security and critical infrastructure risk
governance purposes.
Critical Infrastructure Risk Analysis.—The Committee encour-
ages the NISAC, in coordination with other parts of DHS, to de-
velop methodologies, models, analytic tools, and simulations for
characterizing risk to critical infrastructure and the associated Na-
tional Critical Functions and informing the prioritization efforts of
the federal preparedness enterprise. This will lay the foundation
for the development of a Risk Architecture, which is a network of
functional and physical systems and elements that enable the iden-
tification of cascading consequences from all relevant cyber and
physical threats and hazards, including pandemics, natural disas-
ters, extreme weather exacerbated by climate change, and cyber-at-
tacks. The Committee directs the Department, not later than 180
days after the date of enactment of this Act, to provide a briefing
on the modeling and simulation tools NISAC develops to inform
critical infrastructure risk analysis and any recommendations of
how modeling, and simulation capabilities could be further im-
proved.
Election Security.—Recognizing the important role CISA plays in
election security, the Committee encourages the agency to continue
strengthening its partnerships within the election infrastructure
subsector. To address the persistent problem of election-related
misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation targeting
Black voters and other communities of color, the Committee urges
CISA to engage the expertise of relevant civil rights organizations
in developing resources and strategies for increasing the resilience
of communities of color, non-English speakers, and other targeted
communities against such attempts at manipulation.
National Critical Functions (NCFs) Analytic Capability.—The
recommendation includes an increase of $10,000,000 above fiscal
year 2021 levels to develop a long-term analytic capability to evalu-
ate evolving strategic risks to NCFs from the compromise of critical
infrastructure over a 5- to 25-year timespan. The National Risk
Management Center is directed to brief the Committee not later
than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act on a plan of
action and milestones for the increased investment in this capa-
bility, including a budget and hiring plan.
National Risk Management Center (NRMC).—The NRMC has the
potential to provide critical analysis of cross sector risks and inter-
dependencies to inform more strategic security investments by both
the public and the private sectors. When the NRMC was estab-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
lished in 2018, its work was driven by a targeted series of
‘‘sprints,’’ many of which are ongoing. Some, such as the Pipeline

70
Security Initiative and the Election Security Initiative, have de-
rivatives which are operational in nature, but unfortunately have
not been transitioned to an operational division within CISA. The
Committee is also concerned that the retention of operational pro-
grams at the NRMC is blurring its mission and stifling its ability
to take on new analytic projects. CISA is therefore directed to sub-
mit an NRMC strategy, not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this Act, for transitioning analytic models with oper-
ational uses to other CISA divisions and for identifying new ana-
lytic priorities. The strategy shall include any budget consider-
ations affecting the transition of these capabilities out of the
NRMC.
Small Manufacturing Cybersecurity Support.—The Committee
encourages CISA to explore opportunities to partner with the
Under 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 enhance the protection of
controlled unclassified information within the supply chain, re-
spond quickly to crippling cyber-attacks and theft of intellectual
property, and prepare small manufacturing clients for Cybersecu-
rity Maturity Model Certification. The Committee also encourages
CISA to assist MEPs in establishing priorities for their cybersecu-
rity risk management initiatives.
Supply Chain Security.—The Committee is concerned about re-
cent cyber-attacks on critical industries and related infrastructure,
which threaten critical U.S. supply chains and directs CISA,
through the NRMC, to continue engaging in public-private partner-
ships and collaborate directly with industry partners on supply
chain risk management projects. Such projects should include de-
veloping Supply Chain Risk Management templates that enhance
vendor and customer entity trust, transparency, and assurance
practices, as well as assist in informed decision-making about ac-
ceptable risk exposure.
CISA should continue investing in capabilities that enable it to
assess vital supply chains on a real-time basis for potential bottle-
necks and chokepoints that could potentially impede supply deliv-
ery. Such activities will help both CISA and industry partners
identify and understand systemic vulnerabilities and weaknesses in
order to reduce the impact of cyber-attacks. In addition, building
on the work that CISA has developed around the National Critical
Functions and their corresponding supply chains, the agency can
further develop its end-to-end mapping of these functions and the
interdependencies that exist between each function, in order to
build resilience.
Threats of Extreme Weather Events to Cybersecurity Infrastruc-
ture.—The Committee understands that extreme weather events
present an ever-growing challenge to protecting cybersecurity infra-
structure systems, most prominently information and communica-
tions technology systems. In a 2015 best practices and procedures
report, the Interagency Security Committee prioritized necessary
enhancements and protections of federal facilities against weather
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
related threats but noted that more localized information was need-
ed to accurately assess regional nonmilitary federal facilities. The

71
Committee directs CISA to provide regular briefings on the imple-
mentation of an overall strategy to address extreme weather risks
to cybersecurity infrastructure, including a focus on regional chal-
lenges and strategies for engagement with private industry and
state local government to balance security and resiliency.
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND REQUIREMENTS
Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB).—In support of EO 14028,
the recommendation includes an increase of $2,893,000 to establish
the CSRB. Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of
this Act, CISA shall brief the Committee on its progress toward es-
tablishing the board in accordance with the executive order, includ-
ing the details about the composition of its membership; the rec-
ommendations required by subsection 5(d) of the order; and an up-
date on any incidents it is reviewing and assessing.
Cybersecurity Advisory Committee.—The recommendation in-
cludes an increase of $1,450,000 to support the establishment of
the Cybersecurity Advisory Committee, pursuant to section 1718 of
the FY21 NDAA.
Enhanced Awareness Campaigns.—The recommendation includes
an increase of $4,125,000 above the request to expand and evolve
existing outreach and awareness effort that increase the public’s
understanding of critical infrastructure issues, risks, and threats,
and to drive meaningful, demonstrable change in safety and secu-
rity behaviors.
Sector Risk Management Agencies.—CISA is the Sector Risk
Management Agency (SRMA) for the Chemical; Commercial Facili-
ties; Communications; Critical Manufacturing; Dams; Emergency
Services; Information Technology; and Nuclear Reactors, Materials,
and Waste sectors. Accordingly, the recommendation includes an
increase of $4,546,000 above the request for activities carried out
in furtherance of the authorities and added requirements estab-
lished in section 9002 of the FY21 NDAA for the management of
these eight sectors. In order to better support coordination of
SRMAs across the federal government, the Committee urges CISA
to consider personnel increases to support the cultivation of sector-
specific expertise within the agency, including and extending be-
yond the eight sectors for which CISA serves as the SRMA. These
may include temporary and advisory positions, additional full-time
employees, and reimbursement for personnel on detail from other
departments and agencies, where authorized.
SLTT Resilience Technical Assistance.—The Committee continues
to be concerned by the increasing prevalence of cyber-attacks on
SLTT governments, including ransomware attacks. The rec-
ommendation supports the requested increase of $4,000,000 above
fiscal year 2021 funding levels to establish a capability to advise
and support FEMA’s preparedness grant programs, as well as pro-
vide guidance and support to SLTT partners. The Committee
strongly supports the Secretary’s decision to increase the percent-
age of preparedness grant funding focused on cybersecurity from
5% to 7.5% in fiscal year 2021. The Committee directs CISA to con-
tinue to work with appropriate stakeholders on the development
and promotion of cybersecurity plans that could be adopted or
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
modified for adoption by SLTT governments. Not later than 15
days after the date of submission of the fiscal year 2023 budget re-
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00071 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
72
quest, CISA is directed to brief the Committee on its SLTT tech-
nical assistance efforts, as well as its current understanding of the
threats to SLTT cybersecurity, known vulnerabilities, and an as-
sessment of SLTT capability gaps.
MISSION SUPPORT
Mission Support Requirements.—Due to concerns about oper-
ational impacts to CISA’s management and oversight functions,
many of which were previously administered by DHS headquarters
offices, the Committee rejects the proposed $2,177,000 reduction in-
tended to achieve undefined administrative efficiencies. In addition,
the recommendation includes $850,000 above the request to accel-
erate the development and implementation of policies and proce-
dures necessary for CISA to assume responsibility for personnel se-
curity and suitability vetting of potential CISA personnel and con-
tracted personnel. A smooth and timely transfer of this responsi-
bility from the Department’s Office of the Chief Security Officer
will position CISA to fill existing vacancies and build the robust
trusted workforce necessary to support its expanding roles and op-
erations more efficiently. However, the Committee encourages to
CISA to review its processes and use of resources throughout the
entire organization to identify any overlapping capabilities and
other opportunities to streamline operations and to identify such
efficiencies in future requests, with a clear articulation of how such
efficiencies will be achieved without impacting operational needs.

CYBER SECURITY
Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation Program (CDM).—The
recommendation includes an increase of $15,988,000 above the re-
quest for enterprise mobility management investments to continue
development and deployment of management and security tools to
address the mobile device landscape across the Federal Civilian Ex-
ecutive Branch (FCEB) agencies.
The Committee notes that part of the funding provided to CISA
in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) will be used to
establish a Federal Enterprise Improvement Team (FEIT) to pro-
vide tailored improvement planning and assistance to FCEB agen-
cies regarding their cybersecurity posture and in support of efforts
to implement specific policy requirements and cybersecurity pro-
grams and capabilities.
While the Committee recognizes that significant work remains to
increase the FCEB’s cybersecurity posture, it lacks detailed, agen-
cy-specific plans outlining the full scope of known CDM-related re-
quirements that the program is aiming to address. Without this
full picture of the desired cybersecurity end-state, Congress lacks
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
the visibility it needs to oversee the management of cybersecurity
risks and vulnerabilities across FCEB and determine the level of

required resources. A new administrative provision is included in
the bill that directs CISA to provide such information to the Com-
mittee, including the Subcommittee on Homeland Security and the
subcommittees with funding jurisdiction over each federal agency.
The bill also includes a withholding of funds until the plan is sub-
mitted.
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS
NGN–PS.—The Committee recognizes the urgent need to accel-
erate development and deployment of communications capabilities
to keep pace with commercial carriers as they upgrade their net-
works and services and recommends an increase of $33,000,000
above the request to accelerate development and deployment of
NGN–PS Phase 2 video, data, and information services. This en-
hancement will support the addition of priority voice capabilities to
support all levels of decision making, from senior leadership to first
responders, with real-time information to prevent, protect, and pre-
serve human life, critical infrastructures, and property from acts of
terrorism and natural disasters.
The Committee is aware that a more rapid deployment of com-
munications upgrades may introduce risk into the acquisitions
process, which was designed to ensure effective and efficient pro-
gram management. Not later than 90 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, CISA is directed to provide a briefing to the Com-
mittee on an updated NGN–PS acquisition plan and deployment
schedule that includes a risk mitigation strategy for an accelerated
acquisition pace.
INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY
CISA Gateway Enterprise Data Platform.—The Committee di-
rects CISA to provide a briefing on the modernization of the CISA
Gateway system not later than 120 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act. The briefing shall address how system moderniza-
tion will optimize the efficient use of data, available tools, and tech-
nology; and how modernization efforts will result in enhanced
interoperability and data integration, optimized collection and use
of data, development of mission-specific technology solutions, and
promotion of closer collaboration with CISA stakeholders and part-
ners. The briefing shall also include a description of the desired
end-state of the acquisition program and a projected schedule for

The recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the establishment
of a Cyber Response and Recovery Fund (CRRF), as requested.
Funds shall be used to augment or scale up government asset re-
sponse efforts, including through reimbursement to federal agen-
cies for services provided in support of non-federal public and pri-
vate critical infrastructure in response to a significant cyber inci-
dent when the President has determined additional resources are
needed. Funded asset response activities may include:
(1) furnishing technical and advisory assistance, technology,
or capabilities to entities affected by a cyber incident to protect
their assets, mitigate vulnerabilities, and reduce the related
impacts;
(2) identifying other entities that may be at risk from the
significant cyber incident and assessing their risk from the
same or similar vulnerabilities where necessary to respond to
or recover from the significant cyber incident; assessing poten-
tial risks to the sector or region, including potential cascading
effects, and developing courses of action to mitigate these risks
where necessary to respond to or recover from the significant
cyber incident;
(3) facilitating information sharing and operational coordina-
tion with threat response where necessary to respond to or re-
cover from the significant cyber incident; and
(4) providing guidance on how best to utilize federal re-
sources and capabilities in a timely, effective manner to speed
recovery.
An administrative provision is included in the bill requiring fre-
quent reporting of the activities funded by this account. Further,
the Committee reminds CISA of the requirement for DHS pilot pro-
grams established in section 107 of the bill and looks forward to
receiving the required information prior to the obligation of any
funds. CISA is also directed to work with FEMA to ensure that
each agency’s separate response and recovery roles are clearly de-
fined and to provide the Committee a briefing on such roles by not
later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, includ-
ing any legislative recommendations needed to clarify respective
roles, potential impacts on current activities, and any other oper-
ational considerations about which the Committee should be aware
in assessing the value of the CRRF funding mechanism. Such brief-
ing shall also address strategies for assisting public versus non-
public entities, and any unique considerations for assisting non-
profit versus for-profit entities.

*Note—the amounts for each fiscal year include appropriations for the Radiological Emergency Prepared-
ness program that are entirely offset by fee collections, which for fiscal year 2022 are estimated by CBO at
$33,630,000.
MISSION
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) helps
build, sustain, and improve the nation’s capability to prepare for,
protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards
through disaster response, recovery, and grant programs sup-
porting first responders, emergency management, mitigation activi-
ties, and preparedness.

The recommendation includes the following increases above the
request: $20,000,000 for the Next Generation Warning System as
part of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System; $350,000
to administer the Alternatives to Detention Case Management
Services Pilot grant program; $7,500,000 for homeland security
preparedness grant evaluations; $2,350,000 to administer the ICE
Noncustodial Migrant Shelter Grants program. The recommenda-
tion does not include the proposed realignment of $604,000 for the
Office for Faith and Neighborhood Partnerships from FEMA to the
Office of Partnership and Engagement (OPE).
MITIGATION
Chief Resilience Officer.—The Committee is aware that six states
have designated a Chief Resilience Officer (CRO) to coordinate
planning and response activities associated with flooding, sea level
rise, and severe storm risk. The Committee expects FEMA to con-
tinue to coordinate with the existing state CROs in addition to all
of FEMA’s SLTT partners to identify opportunities for collabora-
tion, create new efficiencies in federal-state relations, and identify
how new or existing federal funding and other resources, including
non-federal resources, may be used to develop state-wide resilience
master plans. FEMA should also work with other states that are
beginning to take the lead on resilience by creating agencies, of-
fices, or positions specifically tasked with overseeing large adapta-
tion projects, proactively incorporating resilience into old and new
infrastructure, and coordinating across agencies. To the extent pos-
sible, existing programs and initiatives should be leveraged to in-
clude resilience and adaptation in lieu of creating entirely new pro-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
grams or initiatives that would run in parallel with but be discon-
nected from existing state programs.

76
Hazard Mitigation Natural Infrastructure.—The Committee is
aware that rehabilitation or establishment of natural infrastruc-
ture, including marshes, wetlands, mangroves, and dunes can im-
prove resiliency, reducing damage from flooding and coastal storm
surges and leading to more effective floodplain management. Such
natural infrastructure can also have long-term beneficial impacts
on topography and soils, water quality, wetland health, floodplains,
coastal resources, aquatic resources, environmental justice, and
public health and safety in coastal areas. In addition environ-
mental mitigation measures offer both aesthetic and recreational
value.
The Committee urges FEMA to continue to coordinate with the
Department of Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, as well as state, local, and tribal govern-
ments 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, and utilize mitigation grant funds for natural infra-
structure projects that will mitigate future damage.
Increased Resilience in Energy Infrastructure Disaster Recov-
ery.—The Committee expects FEMA to work with states to inte-
grate energy efficiency and renewable energy into pre-disaster miti-
gation projects that receive federal funding. In addition, FEMA’s
Mitigation Leadership Framework Group (MitFLG) and other
interagency collaborations are effective existing mechanisms for
sharing information and aligning efforts to integrate energy effi-
ciency, renewable energy, and energy storage strategies, with re-
sults that should also benefit state and local stakeholders. State
and local collaborations are key to leveraging various federal fund-
ing to integrate energy efficiency, renewable and energy storage
into mitigation and resilience projects. To support effective utiliza-
tion of federal resources, the Committee urges the development and
sharing of actionable recommendations and best practices by
MitFLG member departments and agencies and their planning
components to the greatest extent possible to inform planning by
state and local stakeholders.
Mississippi River Resilience.—The Committee encourages FEMA
to continue its role as an essential federal stakeholder with the
EPA’s development of the Mississippi River Restoration and Resil-
iency Strategy, as directed in House Report 116–458. FEMA is also
directed to engage with the U.S. Geological Service as it hosts the
Mississippi River Science Forum and to contribute to the pro-
ceedings as a federal agency with relevant scientific expertise.
Urban Area Flooding.—In fiscal year 2020, FEMA was provided
funding for a pilot grant program to help local government grants
enhance the mapping of urban flooding. Within 30 days of the date
of enactment of this Act, FEMA is directed to brief the Committee
on the results of that pilot and whether a more permanent program
should be established.
PREPAREDNESS AND PROTECTION
The recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the Next Genera-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
tion Warning System as part of the Integrated Public Alert and
Warning System, including up to three percent for administration.

77
The Committee expects FEMA to work with the Corporation for
Public Broadcasting to implement this program for public broad-
casting entities, as defined in 47 U.S.C. 397(11).
OneResponder.—The Committee appreciates FEMA’s continued
efforts to catalog personnel capabilities within the National Quali-
fication System and OneResponder. Prior to establishing a require-
ment for SLTT officials to participate in this system as a condition
of receiving federal grant funding, FEMA shall brief the Committee
on the rationale for adopting such a policy, including a description
of how the agency received and adjudicated stakeholder input.
In addition, because SLTT governments have the primary re-
sponsibility to respond to disasters and emergencies and their re-
sponse efforts are generally more cost effective, FEMA is encour-
aged to use federal deployments through OneResponder as a
backup resource for when Emergency Management Assistance
Compact (EMAC) deployments will not be sufficient to fully re-
spond to a disaster. FEMA shall brief the Committee on plans and
procedures for federal deployments through OneResponder prior to
implementing this new capability.
REGIONAL OPERATIONS
The Committee recommends the requested funding for a pilot
for Regional Assessment Teams in two regions consistent with the
findings from FEMA’s COVID–19 Initial Assessment Report.
RESPONSE AND RECOVERY
Urban Search and Rescue.—The Committee recommends the re-
quested funding level for the Urban Search and Rescue Response
System (USAR) to fully support the 28 USAR Task Forces, includ-
ing resources to recapitalize critical communications equipment
necessary to conduct life-saving search and rescue operations and
to sustain swift water and chemical, biological, radiological, 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 DHS Office of Public
Engagement, which would require explicit statutory authority. The
requirement for such authority comes from the Post Katrina Emer-
gency 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.
Information Technology (IT) Systems.—The Committee recog-
nizes the vital function of independent verification and validation
(IV&V) of IT systems and processes by third party experts to elimi-
nate waste, fraud, and abuse and directs the Chief Information Of-
ficer (CIO) to prioritize IV&V in complying with the intent of Con-
gress in the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Act. In ad-
dition, acquisition program baselines should include appropriate
funding to support IV&V work. The Committee further directs the
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
CIO to establish effective, independent IT oversight, such as
through independent government personnel or through a contractor

78
to validate whether contract requirements are met. Within 120
days of the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA shall brief the
Committee on its IV&V approach and any implementation short-
falls.
Preparedness Grant Evaluations.—The request proposed a new
administrative provision that would have authorized FEMA to
transfer up to one percent of State Homeland Security Program
(SHSP) and Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant funding
to O&S to conduct evaluations of grants awarded through those
programs. The Committee rejects the proposed transfer of funds
and instead recommends a direct appropriation through O&S of
$7,500,000 for such evaluations. FEMA shall brief the Committee,
within 45 days of the date of enactment of this Act, on a plan for
the use of these funds.
In addition, the plan shall include requirements for FEMA to re-
port on authorized equipment and a requirement for grant recipi-
ents to report whether any deaths or injuries have resulted from
the use of any grant funded equipment, supplies or materials as
well as surveillance technology is acquired or used with grant
funds and how grant recipients are providing appropriate safe-
guards for the protection of privacy and civil liberties.
Tribal Mutual Aid.—The nation’s emergency management sys-
tem should ensure a level of disaster response support to tribes at
least at the level provided to states, territories and local govern-
ments. Within 90 days of the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA
shall brief the Committee on existing mutual aid resources avail-
able to tribes; how those resources are currently utilized; and sug-
gestions for improvements or necessary changes, including changes
to procedures, policies or laws. The briefing should be informed by
consultation with tribes and address how current systems and
agreements, such as EMAC and existing tribal-state agreements
are currently providing such assistance or can be modified to do so.

Financial Systems Modernization (FSM).—The current FEMA fi-
nancial management system utilizes an older IT application that is
unable to accommodate many new and emerging requirements.
This raises risks of non-compliance with requirements and audit
findings, introduces security vulnerabilities, requires significant
manual processes, and perpetuates poor reporting functionality.
These shortcomings also lead to increased costs, capability gaps
from unmet requirements, technical obsolescence, risks not ade-
quately addressed through internal controls, and reduced respon-
siveness. FEMA’s FSM project is intended to eliminate these legacy
deficiencies and system gaps by replacing Web IFMIS, the agency’s
core financial system, and the supporting Payment and Reporting
System (PARS) with a modern Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
solution.
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
A good example of the current problem is the process for reim-
bursing state and local governments and utilities, which can

79
produce multiple, inconsistent estimates over time due to high
turnover of personnel, inconsistent guidelines, inconsistent staff ad-
vice, in combination with the inefficiency of the legacy financial
management system. The Committee is aware of concerns that
such deficiencies may be leading to the potentially inaccurate claw
back of reimbursements, leading some private sector contractors in-
volved in rebuilding efforts on behalf of public entities to question
whether FEMA can be a good disaster recovery partner. During the
development and implementation of the FSM, the Committee urges
FEMA to ensure the new reimbursement system has the capability
to fairly and more efficiently manage reimbursements for disaster
recovery projects and activities.

GRANTS
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. As new technologies are introduced and safety standards
evolve, it is critical that fire companies and emergency response
teams have modern vehicles to help them protect the health and
safety of the public from fire and other hazards. The Committee en-
courages FEMA to consider the replacement 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 313 of
the bill as much of possible to relieve the economic and operational
hardships caused by the pandemic.
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.
Countering Domestic Violent Extremism.—The Committee sup-
ports the designation of domestic violent extremism as a National
Priority Area for the fiscal year 2021 SHSP and UASI Grant pro-
grams, end encourages its continued designation as a priority for
fiscal year 2022.
Crude Oil by Rail.—FEMA is encouraged to give high priority
consideration to grants for planning, training, and equipment to
firefighters 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.
Domestic Sourcing of Personal Protective Equipment.—When
issuing a Notice of Funding Opportunity or updating the Prepared-
ness Grants Manual for the State Homeland Security Grant Pro-
gram or the Urban Area Security Initiative, the Committee directs
FEMA to encourage entities receiving these funds to give procure-
ment preference to and purchase directly from domestic manufac-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
turers of PPE or PPE raw materials to the maximum practicable
and allowable by law.

81
High Hazard Dams.—The National Inventory of Dams lists
91,457 dams, of which approximately 2,380 are classified as high
hazard potential dams in poor or unsatisfactory condition. Recent
catastrophic failures, like that of the Oroville Dam spillway in Cali-
fornia in 2017 and the Edenville and Sanford dams in Michigan in
2020 serve as a warning about the potential consequences of ignor-
ing infrastructure that no longer meets safety standards. The Com-
mittee recognizes that dams are critical infrastructure that provide
water retention and control services, as well as ecological, eco-
nomic, and energy benefits to nearby communities and provides
$12,000,000 in continued funding for the High Hazard Potential
Dam grant for technical, planning, design, and construction assist-
ance for eligible dams. Within 120 days of the date of enactment
of this Act, FEMA shall provide a briefing to the Committee on the
effectiveness and cost-benefits of the program, as well recommenda-
tions for making it more effective.
Preparedness Grant Reporting.—The Committee is aware of con-
cerns that FEMA preparedness grant funding, which is intended to
help communities prepare for and respond to terrorist attacks and
for the dual use of those capabilities in responding to natural disas-
ters,—not routine law enforcement activities—may also have sup-
ported controversial law enforcement responses to mass gathering
and protest events. Among the eligible uses of SHSP and UASI
funding are:
(1) school hardening measures to protect against active
shooters;
(2) development of preparedness plans;
(3) emergency preparedness training, including training re-
lated to under-represented, diverse populations that may be
more impacted by disasters;
(4) support for state and urban area terrorism-related fusion
centers;
(5) Improving the physical security of critical infrastructure
or at-risk nonprofit organizations;
(6) building and sustaining radiological and nuclear detection
capabilities;
(7) acquisition and sustainment of critical emergency sup-
plies, including food, water, and medical equipment;
(8) construction of communications towers;
(9) emergency management accreditation of local jurisdic-
tions;
(10) activities in support of achieving FEMA’s National Inci-
dent Management System objectives;
(11) addressing emerging threats, such as cybersecurity
breaches and attacks and combatting domestic extremist vio-
lence;
(12) preparedness for community-based organizations that
provide a safety net for individuals disproportionately impacted
by disasters, including food banks, homeless shelters, job train-
ing centers, and cultural centers; and
(13) Citizen Corps Whole Community Councils and Commu-
nity Emergency Response Teams.
The Committee notes that the purchase of weapons, weapons ac-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
cessories (including ammunition), and weaponized vehicles are not
eligible costs under SHSP and UASI and directs FEMA to adhere

82
to the recommendations issued pursuant to Executive Order 13688
to help ensure SHSP and UASI funding remains focused on its in-
tended purposes.
To improve transparency and public awareness regarding the use
of these grants, FEMA is directed to brief the Committee, within
45 days from the date of enactment of this Act, on recommenda-
tions for how reporting by grant recipients could be appropriately
expanded to include death or injury reporting related to the use of
equipment, supplies, or materials acquired with FEMA grant
funds, along with additional reporting on the use of surveillance
technology acquired or operated with grant funds and the safe-
guards put in place by the recipient to protect privacy and civil lib-
erties.
School Safety.—School hardening measures are eligible activities
under the UASI and SHSG programs. Funds may be used for bul-
let 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 schools 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 (SAFER).—
The bill continues a provision from prior years to allow FEMA to
waive the matching and maintenance of expenditure provisions for
the SAFER program. The Committee expects that the Adminis-
trator will use the discretion granted in section 310 as much of pos-
sible to relieve the economic and operational hardships caused by
the current pandemic.
Transit Security Grant Program (TSGP).—The Committee is
aware that many TSGP applicants have been unsuccessful in get-
ting grant awards to address transit security risks, while other
grantees have at times received awards in recurring years to con-
tinue operational activities. The Committee encourages FEMA to
consider whether recurring grants for ongoing operational activities
is the best investment of limited federal grant funding, and to con-
sider giving priority to applicants that have not received an award
within the previous three years. FEMA is directed to brief the
Committee on the current risk assessment and grant award
prioritization criteria for the current program not later than 60
days after the date of enactment of this Act. An increase of
$10,000,000 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 consequences from acts of ter-
rorism faced by each of the 100 most populous metropolitan statis-
tical areas (MSA) 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

are defined in statute, the specific criteria that inform these factors
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.
The Committee is aware that the Secretary withdrew a major
change to the distribution of UASI funding for FY 2021 that had
been proposed by the prior administration without sufficient stake-
holder consultation. Prior to considering any such changes in the
future, the Committee expects FEMA to seek stakeholder input;
provide significant lead time for jurisdictions to plan and adjust;
and brief the Committee on the proposed changes and the plan for
consulting stakeholders early in the process.
The Committee is aware that some urban area boundaries under
UASI cross state borders. FEMA is encouraged to work with states
to ensure that such urban areas take an inclusive, regional ap-
proach to the development and implementation of their UASI pro-
grams that includes all components of urban areas under threat.

In lieu of providing of new funding proposed under this heading
for climate mitigation grants, the Committee recommends funding
for that activity through a repurposing of funds in section 311 of
the bill.
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 reminded FEMA to make full use of this authority.
Unfortunately, the Committee has received reports that FEMA is
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
not using this authority to the extent permitted by law and in-
tended by Congress, including for determinations of eligibility for
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
86
repairs or replacement of facilities. The Committee again reminds
FEMA of the authority provided and directs FEMA to use such au-
thority to provide the maximum assistance allowable.
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.
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 support families with
young children by giving them priority consideration for immediate
access to a shelter (temporary community shelter, hotel room, tem-
porary housing, etc.) with a clean, safe, and private non-bathroom
stall, space available for expressing breast milk, sanitary drinking
water, a power supply, and access to a refrigerator for safe storage
of food and/or expressed breastmilk. Breast pumps and related sup-
plies should also be listed as eligible items under both Critical
Needs Assistance and Other Needs Assistance programs
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.
Community Disaster Loans.—The explanatory statement accom-
panying Public Law 116–260 directed FEMA to brief the Com-
mittee on its plans for implementing the loan cancellation provi-
sions in the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster
Relief Requirements Act, 2017, Public Law 115–72; FEMA recently
acknowledged this plan has not yet been developed. Within 15 days
of the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA is directed to brief the
Committee on a plan for implementing this provision. The Com-
mittee expects that plan to provide for using the maximum discre-
tion permitted for cancellation of these loans.
Debris Removal.—The Committee is aware of concerns from dis-
aster survivors about eligibility for debris removal on private prop-
erty in FEMA’s disaster programs, particularly for circumstances
in which trees that have fallen on private property in the after-
math of storms or wildfires. The Committee reminds FEMA that
under the Stafford Act, it has wide discretion on eligibility for de-
bris removal that is determined to be in the public interest. Within
90 days of the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA shall brief the
Committee on eligibility for private property debris removal in both
the Public Assistance program and the Individuals and Households
Program (IHP), including a discussion of FEMA’s statutory author-
ity and whether FEMA is fully using such authority.
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-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
dences. The Committee encourages FEMA to reimburse the cost of
generators for individuals who are affected by de-energization pro-
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00086 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
87
tocols implemented as a result of a presidentially declared major
disaster.
Direct Federal Assistance (DFA).—By regulation and consistent
with the Stafford Act, FEMA will only provide DFA when disaster
response requirements exceed the capability of SLTT. In some
cases under current FEMA policy, however, the agency will not re-
imburse SLTT governments that contract for or carry out a re-
sponse activity or seek assistance through mutual aid. Within 60
days of the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA shall brief the
Committee on the provision of assistance through various mecha-
nisms, including DFA, mutual aid, and SLTT governments directly
performing or contracting for services. The briefing shall include a
discussion of the law, regulations, and policies governing the dif-
ferent mechanisms; the costs for each; and how each support the
federal policy codified in the Stafford Act to increase SLTT capacity
and coordination.
Disaster Contractor and Subcontractor Payments.—The explana-
tory statement accompanying Public Law 116–260 directed FEMA
to brief the Committee on the backlog of unpaid contractor and
subcontractor invoices for recovery activities in the U.S. Virgin Is-
lands and Puerto Rico from 2017 hurricanes. FEMA is directed to
continue those briefings until the backlog is eliminated.
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)
and the positive impact that has made for states, communities and
disaster survivors. However, in House Report 116–458 the Com-
mittee noted there are a number of unimplemented provisions that
were immediately effective or have overdue statutory deadlines;
unfortunately, this is still the case.
While the Committee recognizes that this was likely due to the
operational burdens imposed on FEMA during its response to the
pandemic, the Committee urges FEMA to implement these require-
ments expeditiously. Previously, FEMA had been providing quar-
terly briefings on the status of the implementation of the Disaster
Recovery Reform Act; the Committee directs FEMA to resume
those briefings until all requirements have been implemented. In
addition, within 15 days of the date of enactment of this Act,
FEMA is directed to brief the Committee on the rulemaking under
section 1235 of that Act, which would define ‘‘resilient’’ and ‘‘resil-
iency,’’ including an update on the status of the rulemaking and
the process going forward, including the expected timeline for
issuing a final rule.
Disaster Survivors Experiencing Homelessness.—Some of the
most vulnerable survivors during and in the aftermath of a dis-
aster are individuals and families who face homelessness. Tradi-
tionally FEMA disaster assistance in the immediate aftermath of
a disaster has been generally limited to short term sheltering and
other immediate needs because longer-term housing needs were
deemed not to be caused by the disaster.
During the pandemic, FEMA worked with states, communities,
and non-profit organizations to provide innovative assistance to re-
duce the risk for those experiencing homelessness, including the
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
use of non-congregant sheltering. The Committee believes that
FEMA should use this experience to reassess the services that can
VerDate Sep 11 2014 06:21 Jul 16, 2021 Jkt 045101 PO 00000 Frm 00087 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR087.XXX HR087
88
be provided to individuals and families that experience homeless-
ness.
Within 60 days of the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA shall
brief the Committee on the lessons learned from the response to
the pandemic on how assistance can be provided to those experi-
encing homelessness before, during and after disasters and on as-
sessment of how policies, programs, and procedures can be changed
to assist those who are most vulnerable. The assessment should
consider how such assistance could be provided through collabora-
tion with other federal agencies, SLTT governments, and non-profit
organizations, including those that are not traditionally active in
disaster response.
Disaster Workforce.—The Committee recognizes the difficulty
that FEMA faces in maintaining a workforce that is ready to de-
ploy before, during and after disasters while also being as judicious
as possible with the use of funding and other resources. In order
to help FEMA address this challenge, Congress provided specific
hiring authority in section 306 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5149), which was
most recently amended by section 1222 of the Disaster Recovery
Reform Act of 2018 (Division D of Public Law 115–254). Those re-
cent amendments included provisions to allow FEMA’s Stafford Act
workforce to become eligible for positions in the competitive service.
The Committee has been made aware of concerns about work-
place conditions especially for its Stafford Act workforce. In addi-
tion, the Agency has not been completely responsive to information
requests about its new authority, especially as it relates to reserv-
ists. Within 60 days of the date of enactment of this Act, FEMA
shall brief the Committee on current protections for all categories
of its Stafford Act workforce, including reservists, and any plans to
increase or change those protections. In addition, the briefing shall
describe FEMA’s implementation of section 306(c) of the Stafford
Act and include the following information for each of the last three
fiscal years: the different categories of Stafford Act personnel (i.e.
type of appointment), including reservists; the number in each cat-
egory; the number in each category who were or would be eligible
for appointment under section 306(c); and the number in each cat-
egory who accepted an appointment under section 306(c).
Electric Grid Resiliency.—The Committee reminds FEMA of the
requirement in House Report 116–458 to brief the Committee on
alternative methods to repair, rebuild, and fortify disaster damaged
electric grids, which is overdue. FEMA is directed to expeditiously
provide the briefing, which shall include a cost/benefit analysis of
various alternatives, such as traditional wood poles, composite util-
ity poles, and underground cables; take into account such consider-
ations as geography, availability of materials, ease of storage, deliv-
ery and installation logistics of replacement materials, annual
maintenance, and the effects of climate change; and address the po-
tential impacts related to equipment maintenance costs and vegeta-
tion management over the life of the project.
Equity in Disaster Assistance under IHP.—The Committee is
aware of concerns raised about inequities in the delivery of disaster
assistance to disaster survivors, especially through IHP, from a
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
number of sources including concerns from constituents, media re-
ports and a recent GAO report, Disaster Assistance Additional Ac-

tions Needed to Strengthen FEMA’s Individuals and Households
Program GAO–20–503. Among the concerns that have been raised
are: that FEMA’s programs provide disproportionately less assist-
ance to minority communities and those in urban and rural dis-
advantaged communities; and the application process and proce-
dures are too complicated, causing many to discontinue their appli-
cations due to these difficulties or due to a mistaken belief that
they are not eligible. In addition, FEMA’s attempts to prevent
fraudulent applications may be so restrictive as to inadvertently
screen out many who may appropriately qualify for assistance. The
Committee encourages FEMA to allow disaster survivors to provide
alternative documentation for establishing property ownership, in-
cluding self-certification, as appropriate, beyond the jurisdictions
where it is currently allowed.
The Committee understands that FEMA is currently taking steps
to review and address equity issues in the delivery of its programs,
including the chartering of an Equity Enterprise Steering Group
and launching an equity analysis of the delivery of IHP assistance,
efforts that the Committee strongly supports. Within 60 days of the
date of enactment of this Act, FEMA shall brief the Committee on
these efforts and on how FEMA is implementing the recommenda-
tions in the GAO report. The briefing shall also describe FEMA’s
procedures for reducing fraudulent disaster applications and the re-
sults of an analysis on how those procedures may be inappropri-
ately discouraging disaster victims from seeking or receiving assist-
ance.
Modular Housing.—The Committee recognizes the vital support
FEMA provides to communities and disaster survivors in the after-
math of major disasters, including housing assistance for individ-
uals and families displaced from their homes. Within 90 days of the
date of enactment of this Act, FEMA shall brief the Committee on
the feasibility and benefits of using modular housing under current
FEMA authorities and programs as a more efficient and effective
temporary housing solution.
Public Assistance Briefings.—In House Report 116–180, the Com-
mittee directed FEMA to brief the Committee on reducing duplica-
tive and conflicting administrative requirements in the Public As-
sistance program, as well as a briefing on project worksheet devel-
opment. In House Report 116–458, the Committee noted that these
briefings were overdue, while recognizing the operational con-
straints caused by the pandemic. With those constraints waning,
the Committee expects FEMA to provide the briefings in an expedi-
tious manner.
STEM Education After Disasters.—The Committee encourages
FEMA to continue working with SLTT governments and eligible
private, nonprofit educational institutions to ensure that disaster
recovery planning includes the establishment of temporary facili-
ties to provide continuity in STEM education, as appropriate.

and grants immigration and citizenship benefits, confirms eligi-
bility for employment and public services, and promotes an aware-
ness and understanding of citizenship in support of immigrant inte-
gration. USCIS activities are primarily funded through fees col-
lected from applicants for immigration benefits.
OPERATIONS AND SUPPORT
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021 ......................................................... $117,790,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022 ....................................................... 459,504,000
Recommended in the bill ................................................................... 459,504,000
Bill compared with:
Appropriation, fiscal year 2021 .................................................. +341,714,000
Budget request, fiscal year 2022 ................................................ –––
The Committee supports the Administration’s request of
$345,000,000 to address the USCIS backlog by hiring 1,316 addi-
tional personnel, including 301 refugee officers; increasing over-
time; investing in case file management support; provisioning
equipment for increased video interviewing capability; purchasing
information technology equipment and supplies; training; travel;
and other related costs. However, the Committee notes that the
budget request assumes all newly hired positions would be on
board at the beginning of the fiscal year, which is not feasible. Fur-
ther, the request did not include funding to increase asylum officer
positions, despite the significant backlog in asylum processing. Ac-
cordingly, the recommendation adjusts the hiring for the 1,316 re-
quested positions to assume even hiring throughout the fiscal year,
resulting in a projected reduced requirement of $88,975,000 in fis-
cal year 2022. The recommendation reinvests these savings for an
additional 501 asylum officers and for increased overtime to accel-
erate addressing the backlog. Within the total amount provided,
the bill makes $87,619,000 available until September 30, 2023, to
provide flexibility for potential hiring delays associated with these
initiatives.
The Committee is encouraged by recent improvements in USCIS
transparency and compliance with oversight requirements related
to its policies, operations, and overall fiscal health and looks for-
ward to continued progress on these matters. However, the Com-
mittee remains concerned about the lack of transparency in USCIS
budget justification materials and reiterates direction that future
budget justifications provide more detailed information and ac-
counting level data to ensure transparency and executability. Such
details shall include additional information regarding each adjust-
ment to base and program change from the prior year for each
PPA, including the PPAs within the Immigration Examinations
Fee Account (IEFA), and shall provide such information at the of-
fice-level for the Administration PPA.
Application Processing.—USCIS is directed to prioritize the time-
ly processing of citizenship and other applications, with a goal of
adjudicating all requests within six months of submission. Further,
if USCIS publishes a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking or Final Rule
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
that proposes or adopts any amendment to 8 C.F.R. 103.7(b), (Octo-
ber 1, 2020), that would impact fee levels, USCIS shall include the

following information in its associated publications in the Federal
Register:
(1) a detailed plan for reducing the aggregate median proc-
essing time for all applications at least 25 percent by not later
than one year from the date of publication of the notice and
each year thereafter until median processing times are fewer
than six months; and
(2) a detailed estimate of any discretionary funding require-
ment for enabling USCIS to limit future fee increases to not
more than the rate of inflation.
Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act,
USCIS is directed to make available, on a publicly accessible
website, an interactive dashboard detailing the number of forms re-
ceived, processed, approved, denied, and pending by month, along
with the average processing time and the number of forms pending
for more than six months, for each of the following:
(1) form I–130 (Petition for Alien Relative);
(2) form I–360 (Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special
Immigrant);
(3) form I–485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence
or Adjust Status), delineated by application type or filing cat-
egory;
(4) form I–751 (Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence);
(5) form N–400 (Application for Naturalization); and
(6) form I–765 (Employment Authorization Document).
The dashboard shall include historical data beginning not later
fiscal year 2016; be updated monthly by not later than the tenth
business day following the end of each month; and permit the
downloading of the underlying data in a searchable and sortable
spreadsheet format. USCIS shall make every effort to continuously
expand the dataset on this website to eventually include all forms.
Asylum Seeker Access to Employment Authorization.—The Com-
mittee recognizes the importance of employment authorization for
asylum seekers awaiting the outcome of their cases, including indi-
viduals with positive Credible Fear or Reasonable Fear determina-
tions or who have expressed a fear of return to their home coun-
tries and intend to apply for asylum or withholding of removal. The
Committee directs DHS to establish a centralized mechanism for
asylum seekers to apply for employment authorization online and
to brief the Committee not later than 60 days after the date of en-
actment of this Act on its plan to meet this objective, including a
projected schedule for meeting anticipated milestones. Further, the
Committee directs USCIS to reduce printing and reproduction costs
related to the cumbersome Form I–765 and to brief the Committee
not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act on
a plan for achieving this goal, including any anticipated resource
savings and timeliness metrics.
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 on B–1 personal or domestic workers, including the visa
holder’s year of birth; gender; country of citizenship and birth; date
of visa issuance and expiration; and the city, state, and zip code
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
where the visa holder will be working. The report shall also be
made available to the public.

Citizenship Promotion.—The Committee encourages CBP and
USCIS to continue exploring the most effective methods to ensure
that Legal 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.
Domestic and Sexual Violence Training.—The Committee looks
forward to the briefing required in House Report 116–458, which
was incorporated by reference into the explanatory statement ac-
companying the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Act, 2021, (Public Law 116–260), regarding annual training for asy-
lum officers and supervisors on how the dynamics of domestic and
sexual violence impact asylum seekers and their applications.
E-Verify.—While E-Verify database errors have been reduced as
system functionality has evolved, challenges remain regarding the
accuracy of information input by employers that is used for deter-
mining employment eligibility and there is still no formal process
for reviewing a final non-confirmation determination. By not later
than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, USCIS is di-
rected to brief the Committee on a proposed review process for E-
Verify final non-confirmations, as well as improvements in out-
reach efforts and training tools to assist employers in improving
the accuracy of information they submit into the system.
Fee Waivers.—USCIS is directed to continue the use of full fee
waivers for applicants who demonstrate an inability to pay immi-
gration and naturalization benefit application fees, and to provide
partial fee waivers for applicants who can demonstrate earnings or
income between 150 percent and 200 percent of the federal poverty
guidelines and are otherwise ineligible for full fee waivers. The
Committee directs USCIS to accept any one of the following items
as proof of inability to pay an immigration or naturalization benefit
application fee:
(1) documentation of receipt of a means-tested public benefit;
(2) documentation of income that is at or below 200 percent
of the Federal Poverty Guidelines at the time of filing; or
(3) documentation of financial hardship based on extraor-
dinary expenses or other circumstances.
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.
H–2B Visa Program Oversight.—Not later than 60 days after the
date of enactment of this Act, the Department shall brief the Com-
mittee on the administrative remedies the Department of Labor
has issued in each of the last three fiscal years against entities or
persons who violate H–2B requirements. The report should contain,
but not be limited to:
(1) a list of entities or persons cited, by industry and viola-
tion;
(2) the number of H–2B workers impacted and the nature of
those impacts;
(3) the effects on the domestic workforce;
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
(4) the number of entities or persons debarred from the H–
2B program due to violations;

(5) a description of the criteria and methodology for debar-
ment decisions; and
(6) a justification for why any repeat offenders have been al-
lowed to continue to participate in the program.
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
issued to the top 15 employers. Also, not later than 90 days after
the date of enactment of this Act, the Department, in consultation
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 reminds USCIS of the
directives related to humanitarian petitions required in House Re-
port 116–458, which were incorporated by reference into the ex-
planatory statement accompanying the Department of Homeland
Security Appropriations Act, 2021, (Public Law 116–260).
International Operations Division.—The Committee remains con-
cerned by USCIS’s lack of planning and transparency about the clo-
sure of the International Operations Division and any plans to con-
tinue closing its international offices. The Committee directs
USCIS to continue to operate the remaining seven international of-
fices until the reporting and briefing requirements directed in the
explanatory statement accompanying the Department of Homeland
Security Appropriations Act, 2021, (Public Law 116–260), have
been provided. Further, the Committee urges USCIS to reconsider
its international footprint requirements to optimize its ability to
meet its mission needs in a cost-effective manner.
Military Naturalization Applications.—Absent exigent cir-
cumstances or additional time applicants may need to respond to
Requests for Evidence or Notices of Intent to Deny, USCIS shall
ensure that military naturalization applications are processed with-
in six months, as required by the Military Personnel Citizenship
Processing Act of 2008 (Public Law 110–382). USCIS is directed to
continue to build upon its military naturalization promotion pro-
gram, in conjunction with the Department of Defense, to ensure all
military service members and their families learn about and con-
sider their eligibility to apply for naturalization before the military
service member’s separation from the military, and to help military
families navigate the naturalization process. Not later than 90 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, USCIS shall brief the Com-
mittee on the status of meeting these goals, including any efforts
to streamline processes and improve the overall experience for
service members and their families.
Refugee Security Vetting.—The Committee looks forward to re-
ceiving the report required in House Report 116–458 that was in-
corporated by reference into the explanatory statement accom-
panying the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act,
2021, (Public Law 116–260) regarding enhanced security-vetting.
Spouse Petitions.—With respect to fiancé(e) or spouse petitions
involving a minor party, the Committee directs USCIS to document
the age of the minor party at the time of the civil/legal marriage,
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
along with the age difference between the parties, with ages given
in months as well as years.

Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program.—USCIS
is directed to update the report required in House Report 116–458,
which was incorporated by reference into the explanatory state-
ment accompanying the Department of Homeland Security Appro-
priations Act, 2021, (Public Law 116–260), to include information
for fiscal year 2021.
Resource Optimization Strategy.—The Committee looks forward
to the briefing required in the explanatory statement accompanying
the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2021,
(Public Law 116–260), as well as the plan and subsequent briefings
required in section 4103 of the Emergency Stopgap USCIS Sta-
bilization Act (Public Law 116–159). USCIS is urged to expand its
use of premium processing authorities, as provided for in and in ac-
cordance with that Act.
Trauma-Informed Mental Health Care.—USCIS is encouraged to
assess the need for the following additional training requirements
for the Refugee, Asylum, and International Operations Direc-
torate’s staff who engage regularly with potential trauma sur-
vivors:
(1) Training on recognizing signs of trauma exposure, under-
standing common behaviors of people exposed to trauma, and
sensitive or trauma-informed principles for interacting; and
(2) Secondary trauma and resilience training and support.
Virtual Processes and Ceremonies.—Not later than 90 days after
the date of enactment of this Act, USCIS shall provide the Com-
mittee with an analysis of the feasibility of leveraging video and
audio teleconferencing capabilities to:
(1) support remote refugee interviews; and
(2) remotely administer the oath of citizenship during cir-
cumstances that impede the regular administration of natu-
ralization ceremonies.
Voter Registration of New U.S. Citizens.—The Committee urges
USCIS to facilitate the voter registration of new U.S. citizens upon
their successful completion of oath ceremonies, including through
Memoranda of Understanding and other agreements with state and
local agencies responsible for election administration that permit
USCIS to electronically transfer voter registration information of
new citizens.
Website Data.—The Committee is disappointed that the briefing
requirement in House Report 116–180 on the feasibility of posting
DHS-administered visa data on its website has not been met. Ac-
cordingly, USCIS is now directed to publish on its website, begin-
ning lot later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act
and semiannually thereafter, I–129 data on employers, worksites,
occupations, gender, and wages, for petitions in the E, H, L, O, P,
and TN visa classifications. Additionally, the website shall include
data on key visa and work programs administered by ICE through
the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, such as the
J–1 program and the F–1 Optional Practical Training program, in-
cluding employment, wage, and gender data for all visas and pro-
grams categories. Data for the J–1 visa should be reported accord-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
ing to each J–1 sub-program. The data reported according to this
directive shall not include personally identifiable information.

torious proposals and to support projects that will test or bring to
scale innovative methods of English and civics education and citi-
zenship preparation that will help set new Americans up for eco-
nomic and social success in the United States.
The Committee appreciates steps taken by USCIS to address its
concerns regarding the guidelines set forth in USCIS’s Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for fiscal year 2019 that imposed un-
necessary and overly restrictive conditions on prospective grant re-
cipient organizations and looks forward to working with USCIS on
any further improvements to grant program.
USCIS continues to have the authority to accept private dona-
tions to support the Citizenship and Integration Grant Program.
The Committee directs USCIS to provide an update on its planned
use of this authority not later than 30 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, to include efforts undertaken to solicit private do-
nations.

forts by the Department and the National Guard to establish inter-
agency domestic operation training centers and notes the success
of the Muscatatuck Urban Training Facility in supporting a wide
range of training requirements for Active Duty service members,
the National Guard, other federal agencies, and domestic law en-
forcement agencies. The Committee encourages the Department to
continue working with the National Guard, as well as state and
local leaders, to identify opportunities for expanding domestic
training on federal or state property, particularly in regions that
lack facilities for training related to active shooters, dense urban
terrain, and cyber and electromagnetic response.
International Partnerships.—The Committee supports inter-
national law enforcement capacity building programs, which de-
velop new partnerships with other countries that build shared val-
ues around the rule of law and good governance. The Committee
encourages FLETC to expand its capacity to enroll and provide
training for law enforcement officers of foreign partners, especially
as part of its international capacity building programs. The Com-
mittee directs FLETC to provide an annual report to the Com-
mittee, beginning not later than 90 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, on the status of its international programs, in-
cluding the number of international students trained; their coun-
tries of origin; programs administered; and plans to expand exist-
ing partnerships and develop new ones.
Use of Training Facilities.—The Director shall schedule basic or
advanced law enforcement training, or both, at all four training fa-
cilities to ensure they are operated at the highest capacity before
entering new leases or establishing new partnerships with training
organizations. FLETC is also directed to provide a cost analysis de-
tailing, at a minimum, each training center’s maximum instruc-
tional capacity by course and measured against its annual student

ued focus on the development and deployment of next generation
first responder technologies that utilize advanced sensors and im-
aging.
Bi-National Cooperation Pilot.—The Committee supports the Bi-
National Cooperation Pilot, which focuses on cooperative efforts re-
lated to border security, maritime security, biometrics, cybersecu-
rity, and video analytics, and encourages continued funding for the
pilot at its historical level of $2,000,000.
Biosurveillance Systems.—The Committee directs S&T and the
Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office (CWMD) to pro-
vide a joint report to the Committee, within 60-days of the date of
enactment of this Act, on the status of developing and testing a
successor bio-threat detection system to BioWatch, along with
plans to complete development and field the new capability. The re-
port shall describe planned changes to bio-detection operations that
improve upon the legacy program and how CWMD and S&T will
coordinate their respective bio-detection roles and activities.
The report should also include information on the progress of the
Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency Chemical
and Biological Defense Division in developing novel prototype sen-
sors for real-time detection of aerosolized biological threat agents,
using newer technologies such as matrix-assisted laser desorption
ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry.

First Responder Interagency Working Group.—The Committee
recognizes the effectiveness of interagency working groups com-
posed of first responders from local, state, and federal agencies in
meeting the ever-changing needs of the nation’s emergency pre-
paredness and response plans. The Committee encourages S&T to
continue and, if appropriate expand, its partnerships in this area,
including with nonprofits that have a history of collaboration with
inter-agency working groups.
Levee and Dam Improvements.—The Committee encourages S&T
to continue the Educational Partnership Agreement between the

the effects of aging and the impacts from natural and man-made
disasters; the development of sustainable solutions for infrastruc-
ture protection; research on viable alternative materials; and the
development of guidance and standards for communities, emer-
gency managers, public safety officials, and critical infrastructure
operators.
Maritime and Coastal Surveillance.—The Committee encourages
S&T to conduct maritime system and sensor studies for the re-
search, development, testing, and evaluation of wind and solar
powered unmanned maritime vessels with surface and subsurface
capabilities. Such technologies could significantly contribute to
DHS component missions such as counter-narcotics; search and
rescue; aids to navigation; marine safety; marine environmental
protection; illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing; enforcement
of laws and treaties; oceanographic research; and defense readi-
ness.
Maritime and Port Resiliency and Security.—The Committee rec-
ognizes the vast data security threat facing the U.S. Maritime/Port
sector and the potential consequences of cyber intrusions on mis-
sion critical infrastructure and operations. The Committee urges

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.

ganization that has not less than a decade of experience performing
technical audits of statewide elections systems. In consultation and
coordination with the Elections Assistance Commission and CISA,
this investment should include the development of new tools and
training modules to enable states and localities to ensure that their
election systems are secure.
Water Security Test Bed.—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 waste water systems. The Committee sup-
ports the development of improved standard methods, processes,
and protocols for field testing and evaluation, as well as operational
use guidelines or concepts of operation for technologies that rapidly
assess indoor environments for pathogenic contamination.
Wildfire Management.—The Committee encourages S&T to apply
predictive analytics to study wildfire ignition, including the appli-
cation of advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning, and
to develop new data collection methodologies, such as crowd
sourcing, as indicators for pinpointing high-risk ignition locations
in the wildland urban interface.
UNIVERSITY PROGRAMS
The recommendation includes $53,537,000 for University Pro-
grams, $2,500,000 above the request.
The Committee underscores the importance of minority serving
institutions in supporting homeland security related science, tech-
nology, engineering, and mathematics research, and includes
$7,657,000, an increase of $2,500,000 above the requested level, for
the Minority Serving Institutions Program.
S&T shall notify the Committee of any plan or proposal to reduce
funding for, diminish the role of,or eliminate Centers of Excellence
(COEs) prior to taking any action to do so.S&T is encouraged to
prioritize collaborations with qualified research universities to sup-
port critical research topics in priority areas, including coastal re-
silience, maritime security, cross-border threat screening, un-
manned systems, counterterrorism, emerging analytics, cybersecu-
rity, first responder safety, disaster-driven displacement, and crit-
ical infrastructure.
The Committee supports the valuable research providing a sci-
entific basis to address the operationally demanding, and
logistically straining challenges faced by the Coast Guard and
other DHS missions in the Arctic and its and encourages S&T to
continue to prioritize work in this region.
S&T is encouraged to consider expanding the capacity of the ex-
isting Center of Excellence on Cross-Border Threat Screening and
Supply Chain Defense to conduct research and analysis needed to
assess current and emerging risks to U.S. and global food systems,
and to examine risk mitigating investments by firms with global
supply chains and the impact of those investments on the resilience
of food and agricultural supply chains.
The Committee underscores that Emeritus COEs remain valu-
able resources for homeland security science and technology solu-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
tions and training the next generation of homeland security ex-
perts. S&T shall report to the Committee not later than 60 days

Medical Information Exchange (MIX) personnel.
Chief Medical Officer (CMO).—As the primary DHS medical au-
thority, the CMO has oversight responsibility for the Department’s
medical and public health policies and operations. As such, and
consistent with direction in the Explanatory Statement accom-
panying Public Law 116–93, DHS is directed to ensure that the
CMO reviews all contracts, requests for information and proposals,
and reviews of bids and offers that broadly impact how the Depart-
ment delivers healthcare services to individuals in its custody and
to departmental personnel. In coordination with operational compo-
nents, the CMO shall also develop departmental requirements for
medical services, to include professional healthcare system admin-
istration; disease surveillance, reporting, and outbreak response;
and measurable performance standards for current and future
healthcare record systems. The CMO, in conjunction with CBP and
ICE leadership, is directed to brief the Committee within 90 days
of the date of enactment of this Act on these efforts.
It is increasingly clear that a more cohesive strategy is necessary
to address emergent medical conditions of detainees, as well as the
health of the Department’s workforce. Based on lessons learned
during the 2019 rise in CBP apprehensions as well as the COVID–
19 pandemic, the Explanatory Statement accompanying Public Law
116–93 directed the Secretary to develop a Department-wide med-
ical response strategy for emergent circumstances, a responsibility
that the Secretary has appropriately delegated to the CMO. The
Committee notes that a provision in title V of the bill is amended
to allow the Secretary to establish a new executive management of-
rmajette on DSKBCKNHB2PROD with HEARING
fice led by the CMO to better lead and coordinate the Department’s
medical and public health policies and operations.

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. We endorse the funding levels that
are proposed in this bill for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency, the Transportation Security Administration, the
Secret Service, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
However, we have serious objections and concerns about the bill
because of the insufficient allocation provided to the subcommittee
and the many misguided policies supported by the current Admin-
istration. In its current form, we cannot support the bill.
With more than 180,000 people illegally crossing our southwest
border monthly, we must address the immigration crisis. Unfortu-
nately, this bill does not provide the resources for the men and
women at the Department to effectively implement the law and ful-
fill their missions. In the absence of a strong Department of Home-
land Security we fear the situation will only get worse. If this bill
is enacted, the Department will be incapable of responding to the
immigration crisis at the southwest border and protect the country.
The bill before us completely disregards the bicameral, bipartisan
conference agreement signed just 7 months ago by rescinding all
prior year border wall funds. We are perpetually taking one step
forward and two steps back, and rescinding these funds puts into
question every single agreement we craft in producing these bills
every year.
Further, the policies of this administration and the provisions in
this bill to prohibit the simple enforcement of our existing immigra-
tion laws is most certainly a cause of the illegal migration surge.
We cannot continue to embolden the cartels and transnational
criminal organizations by limiting immigration enforcement. These
criminal networks will continue to take advantage of these mis-
guided policies by perpetuating the myth that the border is open
and will continue trafficking more and more drugs and people into
the United States, increasing the profits for the cartels while pos-
ing a real danger to our communities.
In an effort to improve the bill to address our concerns, we of-
fered amendments to preserve funds provided in enacted laws for
constructing a wall along the Southwest Border; to increase funds
for Operation Stonegarden to help law enforcement agencies in bor-
der communities work with Customs and Border Patrol to rescue
and apprehend migrants abandoned by the cartels; to increase
funds for the United States Coast Guard to recapitalize their cutter
fleets to meet today’s mission requirements; to make the E–Verify
program authorization permanent; to allow Immigration and Cus-
toms Enforcement officers to enforce the basic immigration laws on
the books; and to spare Customs and Border Protection from hav-
ing to publish their border security surveillance technology infor-

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 that we can support.
