The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind or SeverelyDisabled (operating as the U.S. AbilityOne Commission, hereafter "Com-mission") administers the AbilityOne Program under the authority of theJavits-Wagner-O'Day Act of 1971, as amended. The principal objectiveof AbilityOne is to leverage the purchasing power of the Federal Govern-ment to provide employment opportunities for people who are blind orhave other significant disabilities. The Commission accomplishes its mis-sion by identifying Government procurement requirements that can createemployment opportunities for individuals who are blind or have other sig-nificant disabilities. Following opportunities for public comment and afterdue deliberation, the Commission then places such products and servicerequirements on the AbilityOne Procurement List, requiring Federal depart-ments and agencies to procure the designated products and services froma network of 565 qualified State and private nonprofit agencies (NPAs)employing people who are blind or have other significant disabilities. Thelong-term vision of AbilityOne is to enable people who are blind or haveother significant disabilities to achieve their maximum employment poten-tial. In 2016, over 46,000 AbilityOne employees earned a combined totalof more than $615 million in wages, with an average hourly wage of $13.01.The AbilityOne Program continues to emphasize providing employmentto veterans, with approximately 3,000 employed in direct or indirect laborpositions, including supervision and management. More than 2,000 Abil-ityOne employees moved into competitive or supported employment in2016 after gaining skills and experience on AbilityOne jobs.

While pursuing its core mission to increase employment opportunitiesfor people who are blind or have other significant disabilities, the Commis-sion is dedicated to effective stewardship and program integrity. TheCommission continues to strengthen its Procurement List business processesand to enhance its oversight of AbilityOne Program participants. The re-sources proposed for 2018 will enable the Commission to continue imple-menting the requirements of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016.These requirements include establishing and staffing an Office of InspectorGeneral for the AbilityOne Program. The requirements also include estab-lishing and administering written agreements that govern the Commission's

The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM or the Bank) is theofficial export credit agency of the United States. EXIM is an independent,Federal agency that supports American jobs by facilitating the export ofU.S. goods and services. To accomplish its objectives, the Bank's authorityand resources are used to: assume commercial and political risks that ex-porters or private institutions are unwilling or unable to undertake; over-come maturity and other limitations in private sector export financing; assistU.S. exporters to meet officially sponsored foreign export credit competi-tion; and provide leadership and guidance in export financing to the U.S.exporting and banking communities and to foreign borrowers. The Bankprovides its export credit support through direct loan, loan guarantee, andinsurance programs.

The 2018 Budget estimates that the Bank's export credit support will total$20.0 billion, and will be funded entirely by receipts collected from theBank's customers. The Bank estimates it will collect $587.7 million in 2018in receipts in excess of expected losses on transactions authorized in 2018and prior years. These amounts will be used to cover administrative ex-penses in an amount not to exceed $95.5 million, of which $14.0 millionis for technology expenses. Any excess will be deposited in the GeneralFund of the Treasury. The 2018 Budget requests $0 in subsidy costs andcancels $165.0 million in the Tied Aid Fund.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account re-cords the subsidy costs associated with direct loans and direct grants oblig-ated, and loan guarantees and insurance committed in 1992 and beyond,as well as administrative expenses. The subsidy amounts are estimated ona present value basis; administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

Operating results and financial condition.—The Export-Import Bank isa wholly-owned Government corporation. Capital stock of $1 billion waspurchased by the U.S. Treasury.

The Export-Import Bank has a reserve for possible credit losses, whichprovides for the risk of loss inherent in the lending process. This reserveis a general reserve, available to absorb credit losses related to the totalloan portfolio. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to expensesand decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

The provision for possible credit losses is based on the Bank's evaluationof the adequacy of the reserve, taking into consideration a variety of factors,including repayment status of loans, future risk factors, the relationship ofthe reserve to the portfolio, and worldwide economic conditions. Providingfor such possible losses does not imply that any loans will be written off.It simply recognizes the fact that the prospects for collection of some ofthe Bank's loans are impaired. It does not provide for losses on a country-by-country basis and is intended only to provide an overall revaluation ofthe loan portfolio.

The Export-Import Bank's net excess of program costs over revenue were-$849.4 million in 2016. The total Government net position in the Bankwas $354.3 million on September 30, 2016.

The Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (Corporation) was estab-lished to ensure the timely payment of principal and interest on insuredSystem debt obligations purchased by investors. The Corporation is man-aged by a three member Board of Directors that consists of the same indi-viduals as the Farm Credit Administration Board. The Corporation derivesits revenues from insurance premiums collected from insured System banksand from the investment income earned on its investment portfolio. Insur-ance premiums are assessed on System banks based on the level of adjustedinsured obligations outstanding at each bank. Congress established a securebase amount of 2 percent of adjusted outstanding insured System obliga-tions, or such other amount determined by the Corporation's Board ofDirectors to be actuarially sound to maintain in the Insurance Fund. Afterthe first three quarters of 2016, the Insurance Fund was $63 million belowthe 2 percent secure base amount as of September 30, 2016 at 1.97 percent.For 2016, the Corporation is assessing insurance premiums at 16 basispoints for the first half and 18 basis points for the second half of the yearon adjusted insured debt obligations and 10 basis points on non-accrualloans and other-than-temporarily impaired investments. Changes to theCorporation's premium authorities were included in the Food, Conservation,and Energy Act of 2008. The authorities changed the assessment base fromloans to adjusted insured obligations and raised the assessment limit to 20basis points, plus an additional 10 basis points on non-accrual loans andother-than-temporarily impaired investments. In January 2017, the Corpor-ation's Board approved an assessment on insurance premiums of 15 basispoints on adjusted insured debt obligations and 10 basis points on non-ac-crual loans and other-than-temporarily impaired investments.

The Insurance Fund is available for payment of insured System obligationsif a System bank defaults on its primary liability. The Insurance Fund isalso available to ensure the retirement of certain eligible borrower stock,and to pay the operating costs of the Corporation. The Corporation canexercise its authority to make loans, borrow, purchase System bank assetsor obligations, provide other financial assistance and otherwise act to reduceits exposure to losses.

The Corporation has the authority to make refunds of excess InsuranceFund balances. No refunds are anticipated in 2017.

Pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended by the Tele-communications Act of 1996 (1996 Act), all telecommunications serviceproviders and certain other providers of telecommunications contribute tothe federal Universal Service Fund (USF) based on a percentage of theirinterstate and international end-user telecommunications revenues. Thesecompanies include wireline phone companies, wireless phone companies,paging service companies and certain Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)providers. The goals of USF are to increase access to both telecommunic-ations and advanced services, such as high-speed Internet, for all consumersat just, reasonable and affordable rates. The 1996 Act established principlesfor universal service that specifically focused on increasing access toevolving services for consumers living in rural and insular areas, and forconsumers with low incomes. Additional principles called for increasedaccess to high-speed Internet in the nation's schools, libraries and ruralhealth care facilities. The FCC established four programs within the USFto implement the statute. The four programs are: (1) High Cost - ensuresconsumers in rural, insular, and high cost areas have access to moderncommunications networks capable of providing voice and broadband ser-vice, both fixed and mobile, at rates that are reasonably comparable tothose in urban areas; (2) Lifeline (for low-income consumers) - includesinitiatives to expand phone service for residents of Tribal lands and providesa monthly benefit on home or wireless phone and broadband service toeligible households; (3) Schools and Libraries (E-rate) - provides fundingto schools and libraries to obtain, among other things, telecommunications,telecommunications services, and broadband; and (4) Rural Health Care -provides funding to eligible health care providers for telecommunicationsand broadband services necessary for the provision of health care.

This program provided direct loans for the purpose of purchasing spectrumlicenses at the Federal Communications Commission's auctions. The li-censes were purchased on an installment basis, which constitutes an exten-sion of credit. The first year of activity for this program was 1996. As re-quired by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, forthis program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligatedin 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan guar-antees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as wellas administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estim-ated on a present value basis and administrative expenses are estimated ona cash basis. The FCC no longer offers credit terms on purchases throughspectrum auctions. Program activity relates to maintenance and close-outof existing loans.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was created by theBanking Act of 1933 to provide protection for bank depositors and to fostersound banking practices.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of1989 (P.L. 101–73) established the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), the SavingsAssociation Insurance Fund (SAIF), and the Federal Savings and LoanInsurance Corporation (FSLIC) Resolution Fund (FRF). Under the DepositInsurance Reform Act of 2005, the BIF and SAIF were merged into a newDeposit Insurance Fund (DIF) in 2006.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991generally requires FDIC to use the least costly method to resolve failedbanks and mandates that the FDIC take prompt corrective action againstunder-capitalized financial institutions. In order to accomplish its variedfunctions to protect depositors, FDIC is authorized to promulgate and en-force rules and regulations relating to the supervision of insured institutionsand to perform other regulatory and supervisory duties consistent with itsresponsibilities as an insurer.

The primary purpose of the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) is to insuredeposits and protect the depositors of failed banking institutions. Underthe Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, the FDIC's Bank InsuranceFund (BIF) and its Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) were mergedinto the new Deposit Insurance Fund on March 31, 2006. Through the DIF,the FDIC resolves and recovers funds disbursed from the assets of failedinstitutions. The FDIC is authorized to charge risk-based premiums onmember institutions to restore and maintain adequate fund reserves, whichmust be a designated percentage of estimated insured deposits as set bythe FDIC before the beginning of each year. The Dodd-Frank Wall StreetReform and Consumer Protection Act (the Act) (P.L. 111–203), enactedJuly 21, 2010, increased the minimum DIF reserve ratio (ratio of the DIFbalance to total insured deposits) to 1.35 percent, up from 1.15 percent. Inaddition to raising the minimum reserve ratio, the Act also: 1) eliminatedthe FDIC's requirement to rebate premiums when the reserve ratio is

1161OTHER INDEPENDENT AGENCIESFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation

Federal Funds

DEPOSIT INSURANCE FUND—Continued

between 1.35 and 1.5 percent; 2) gave the FDIC discretion to suspend orlimit rebates when the DIF reserve ratio is at least 1.5 percent, effectivelyremoving the 1.5 percent cap on the DIF; 3) required the FDIC to offsetthe effect on small insured depository institutions (defined as banks withassets less than $10 billion) when setting assessments to raise the reserveratio from 1.15 to 1.35 percent; and 4) permanently increased the insureddeposit level to $250,000 per account at banks insured by the FDIC. TheFDIC Board has issued a final rule setting a long-term (greater than 10years) DIF reserve ratio target of 2 percent, with the goal of maintaininga positive fund balance during any future economic crises and maintaininga moderate, steady, long-term assessment rate that provides transparencyand predictability to the banking sector.

As of September 30, 2016, the DIF balance stood at $80.7 billion on anaccrual basis, measuring expected losses to current balances. This level isequivalent to a reserve ratio of 1.18 percent. The growth in the DIF balanceis a result of fewer bank failures and higher assessment revenue.

Pursuant to the Act, the restoration period for the DIF reserve ratio toreach 1.35 percent was extended to 2020. (Prior to the Act, the DIF reserveratio was required to reach the minimum target of 1.15 percent by 2016.)The Budget projects that the DIF reserve ratio is expected to increasesteadily, reaching the statutorily required level of 1.35 percent by 2020.

The FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF) is the ultimate successor to FSLICassets and liabilities from thrift resolutions prior to August 1989. Beginningin August 1989, the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) assumed respons-ibility for the FSLIC's unresolved cases. On December 31, 1995, the RTCwas terminated and its assets and liabilities were transferred to FRF.

Funds for FRF operations have come from: 1) income earned on its assets;2) liquidation proceeds from receiverships; 3) the proceeds of the sale ofbonds by the Financing Corporation; and 4) a portion of insurance premiumspaid by Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) members prior to1993. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act(P.L. 101–73) authorizes appropriations to make up for any shortfall.Currently, the FRF consists of two distinct pools of assets and liabilities.One is composed of the assets and liabilities of the FSLIC transferred tothe FRF (FRF-FSLIC) and the other is composed of the RTC assets andliabilites (FRF-RTC). The assets of one pool are not available to satisfyobligations of the other. The FRF will continue operations until all of itsassets are sold or otherwise liquidated and all its liabilities are satisfied.Any funds remaining in the FRF-FSLIC will be paid to the U.S. Treasury.Any remaining funds of the FRF-RTC will be distributed to the REFCORPto pay interest on its bonds.

Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer ProtectionAct (the Act) (P.L. 111–203) established a new Orderly Liquidation Au-thority permitting the appointment of the FDIC as receiver of financialcompanies whose failure and resolution under otherwise applicable Federalor State law is determined to have serious adverse effects on financial sta-bility in the United States. The FRB and the prudential regulator (the FDICor the Securities and Exchange Commission) or the Federal Insurance Officemust recommend in writing that the Treasury Secretary appoint the FDICas receiver for a failing financial company.

The Treasury Secretary must then, in consultation with the President,determine whether seven criteria authorizing the appointment of the FDICas receiver for the failing financial company have been satisfied, includingfinding that resolution under otherwise applicable Federal or State law

would have serious adverse effects on financial stability in the UnitedStates.

As directed in the Administration's Executive Order on Core Principlesfor Regulating the U.S. Financial System, the Secretary of the Treasury,in consultation with the heads of the member agencies of the FinancialStability Oversight Council (FSOC), is conducting a thorough review ofthe extent to which existing laws, regulations, and other Governmentpolicies promote (or inhibit) these Core Principles. Orderly LiquidationAuthority is being evaluated as part of that review.

FDIC's Office of Inspector General (OIG) is an independent unit withinFDIC that conducts audits, evaluations, and investigations of corporateactivities. In addition, the OIG assists the FDIC in preventing and detectingfraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. The OIG was established by theFDIC Board of Directors pursuant to the Inspector General Act amendmentsof 1988 (P.L. 100–504). The Resolution Trust Corporation CompletionAct (P.L. 103–204), enacted December 17, 1993, provided that the FDICInspector General be appointed by the President and confirmed by theSenate. The Completion Act thus added FDIC to the list of establishmentswhose OIGs have separate appropriation accounts under Section 1105(a)of Title 31, United States Code, thereby safeguarding the FDIC OIG's in-dependence. Assessments paid to the Deposit Insurance Fund by insuredfinancial institutions, and administered by the FDIC, fully fund the FDICOIG's appropriation and a transfer from the Deposit Insurance Fund to the

The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission) is an independ-ent, nonpartisan Federal agency with broad investigative responsibilitieson matters of trade. In accordance with its statutory mandate, the Commis-sion makes determinations in proceedings involving imports claimed toinjure a domestic industry or violate U.S. intellectual property rights;provides independent tariff, trade, and competitiveness-related analysisand information; and maintains the U.S. tariff schedule.

For 2018, the Commission requests an appropriation of $93.7 million tosupport its authorized operations. Pursuant to section 175 of the Trade Actof 1974, the budget estimates for the Commission are transmitted to Con-gress without revision by the President. The Administration's FY 2018 re-quest for the Commission is $87.6 million, reflected in the Appendix tableand appropriations language.

Although the Commission has one program activity set forth in the Budgetof the United States, the Commission's Strategic Plan for FY 2014–2018sets two strategic goals that cover its programmatic responsibilities. Theagency's goal to produce sound, objective, and timely determinations ininvestigative proceedings focuses on its import injury and unfair importinvestigative responsibilities. The agency's goal to produce objective, high-quality, and responsive tariff, trade, and competitiveness-related analysisand information encompasses two areas. First, it focuses on the responsib-ility to maintain the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States.Second, it focuses on the agency's role to independently provide the highestcaliber of information and analysis to U.S. policymakers in a timely mannerto assist them when they are securing benefits to the United States in tradenegotiations and when they enact legislation or take other policy actionsthat affect the U.S. economy and industry competitiveness. The Commissionalso set a management goal to achieve agency-wide efficiency and effect-iveness to advance its mission. The agency's focus is on three functionalareas—human resources; budget, acquisitions, and finance; and informationtechnology—as they play a critical role in supporting programmaticactivities.

The Strategic Plan identifies strategic objectives for each strategic ormanagement goal, strategies to meet these objectives, and specific perform-ance goals. The Plan also identifies two cross-cutting objectives. The per-formance goals provide the basis by which the agency can assess whetherit is making progress toward its strategic objectives.

The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) is an independent agencyin the Executive Branch of the Federal Government that serves as theguardian of Federal merit systems. The Board's mission is to protect Fed-eral merit systems and the rights of individuals within those systems.

arising under the Board's original jurisdiction; conducting studies of thecivil service and other merit systems in the Executive Branch to determinewhether they are free from prohibited personnel practices; and providingoversight of the significant actions and regulations of the Office of Person-nel Management (OPM) to determine whether they are in accord withmerit system principles. The MSPB's inception began in 1883, when theCongress passed the Pendleton Act establishing the Civil Service Commis-sion and a merit-based employment system for the Federal Government.The Pendleton Act grew out of the 19th Century reform movement to curtailthe excesses of political patronage in Government. As the Commission'sresponsibilities multiplied, a growing consensus emerged that it could notproperly and adequately perform managerial and adjudicatory functionssimultaneously. Concern over the inherent conflict of interest in the Com-mission's role as both rule-maker and judge was a principal motivatingfactor behind the enactment by the Congress of the Civil Service ReformAct of 1978. The Act replaced the Civil Service Commission with threenew independent agencies: the OPM, which manages the Federal workforce;the Federal Labor Relations Authority, which oversees Federal labor-management relations; and the MSPB. The MSPB assumed the employeeappeals functions of the Commission and was given the new responsibilitiesto perform merit systems studies and to review the significant actions ofthe OPM.

The primary purpose of the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund(Share Insurance Fund) is to provide insurance for deposits of memberaccounts (also known as insured member shares) for nearly 107 millionmembers in federally-chartered credit unions and state-chartered creditunions that qualify for insurance under the Federal Credit Union Act. Asof September 30, 2016, 5,844 state and Federal credit unions were insuredby the Share Insurance Fund with insured member shares of $1 trillion—anincrease of $60 billion, or six percent, year-on-year.

Following a cost allocation method that distributes National Credit UnionAdministration (NCUA) costs between its insurance and regulatory func-tions, the Share Insurance Fund reimburses the NCUA Operating Fund forits share of administrative costs. In 2016, the Share Insurance Fund paidreimbursements of $202 million to the Operating Fund. For more informa-tion, please see the Credit and Insurance chapter in the Analytical Perspect-ives volume of the Budget.

The Temporary Corporate Credit Union Stabilization Fund (StabilizationFund) was created under the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of2009 (P.L. 111–22). The Stabilization Fund was established to accrue thelosses of the corporate credit unions during the 2008 financial crisis andto recover such losses over time through mitigation efforts and assessmentson federally-insured credit unions. As of June 30, 2016, the remaining netresolution costs of corporate credit union failures were projected to rangefrom approximately $0.8–2.4 billion. Federally-insured credit unions havealready paid assessments totaling $4.8 billion.

Due to legal recoveries from the parties that created and sold troubledassets to failed corporate credit unions, NCUA was able to accelerate therepayment of the Stabilization Fund's outstanding U.S. Treasury borrowings,and there is no longer an outstanding balance as of October 2016. TheStabilization Fund is currently set to sunset on June 30, 2021, or earlier atthe Board's discretion. For more information, please see the Credit andInsurance chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget.

Casehandling (formerly Field investigations in 2015 and earli-er).—Charges of unfair labor practices and petitions for elections to resolverepresentation disputes are investigated by regional office personnel. Ap-proximately 90–96 percent of merit unfair labor practice cases are closedby settlement, dismissal, or withdrawal. The remainder are prepared forpublic hearing. About 85–90 percent of representation elections are heldpursuant to agreement of the parties. The agency strives to maximize thevoluntary settlement of all cases and to avoid litigation.

Administrative law judge hearing.—Administrative law judges conductpublic hearings in unfair labor practice cases. Their findings and recom-mendations are set forth in their decisions.

Board adjudication.—In an unfair labor practice case, a judge's decisionbecomes a Board order if no exceptions are filed. About 30 percent of thesedecisions become automatic Board orders or are complied with voluntarily.The remainder, with exceptions filed, require a Board decision. In repres-entation cases, regional directors initially decide the issues by Board deleg-ation. The Board itself decides representation issues on referral from re-gional directors or by granting a request for review of a regional director'sdecision. The Board also rules on objection and challenge questions inelection cases.

Securing compliance with Board orders (activities moved to Casehandlingand Mission support).—Unlike other Federal agencies, Board orders arenot self-enforcing in the absence of a timely petition to review. If the partiesdo not voluntarily comply with a Board order involving unfair labor prac-tices, the Board must request that an appellate court enforce the decision.

Internal Review.—Office of the Inspector General.Mission Support.—Previously spread across other program activities;

includes administrative, personnel, and financial management functionsconducted in the Headquarters office.

EMERGENCY FUND








The National Transportation Safety Board is mandated by the Congressto investigate all catastrophic transportation accidents and; therefore, hasno control over the frequency of costly accident investigations. The emer-gency fund provides a funding mechanism by which periodic accident in-vestigation cost fluctuations can be met without delaying critical phasesof the investigations. The current balance of $2 million is sufficient tocover unanticipated costs associated with an increased number of accidents,and thus the Administration does not propose new funding in 2018.

This program also provides assur-ance of the physical security of facilities and protection against radiologicalsabotage. This program contributes to the NRC's safety and security stra-tegic goals through the activities of the Operating Reactors and New React-

ors Business Lines that regulate existing and new nuclear reactors to ensuretheir safe operation and physical security.

Nuclear Materials and Waste Safety.—The Nuclear Materials and SafetyProgram reflects the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC's) effortto license, regulate, and oversee nuclear materials in a manner that ad-equately protects the public health and safety and the environment. Thisprogram provides assurance of physical security of the most risk-significantmaterials and waste and protection against radiological sabotage, theft, ordiversion of nuclear materials. Through this program, the NRC regulatesuranium processing and fuel facilities, research and pilot facilities, nuclearmaterials users (medical, industrial, research, and academic),spent fuelstorage, spent fuel and material transportation packaging, decontaminationand decommissioning of facilities, and low-level and high-level radioactivewaste. This program contributes to the NRC's safety and security strategicgoals through the activities of the Fuel Facilities, Nuclear Materials Users,Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation, Decommissioning and Low-LevelWaste, and High-Level Waste Business Lines.

The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, Public Law 91–375, convertedthe Post Office Department into the U.S. Postal Service (Postal Service),an independent establishment within the executive branch. The PostalService commenced operations July 1, 1971. This agency is charged withproviding patrons with reliable mail service at reasonable rates and fees.

The Postal Service is governed by an 11-member Board of Governors,including nine Governors appointed by the President, a Postmaster Generalwho is selected by the Governors, and a Deputy Postmaster General whois selected by the Governors and the Postmaster General.

Since 1971, there have been several Postal reforms. Notably, the OmnibusBudget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (P.L. 101–239) moved the Postal Service"off-budget" so that, beginning in 1990, the receipts and disbursements ofthe Fund are not considered within the on-budget net spending totals, al-though they are included within the unified spending and deficit totals.More recently, the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (P.L.

109–435) made a number of changes affecting the operations and oversightof the Postal Service. The Act provided for separate accounting and report-ing for market-dominant products such as First-Class mail and competitiveproducts such as package delivery. The Act amended the process for de-termining rate increases for market-dominant products, in part by imposinga limitation on rate increases linked to the Consumer Price Index for AllUrban Consumers (CPI-U). In 2017, the Postal Regulatory Commissionwill determine if changes should be made to the rate structure includingwhether to continue the CPI-U cap on increases.

The Act also created the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund toput the Postal Service on a path that fully funds its substantial retiree (an-nuitant) health benefits liabilities. This Fund receives from the Postal Ser-vice: 1) the pension savings provided to the Postal Service by the PostalCivil Service Retirement System (CSRS) Funding Reform Act of 2003(P.L. 108–18) that were held in escrow through 2006; 2) a 10-year streamof payments defined within the Act to begin the liquidation of the PostalService's unfunded liability for post-retirement health benefits; 3) beginningin 2017, payments for the actuarial cost of Postal Service contributions forthe post-retirement health benefits for its current employees; 4) beginningin 2017, a 40-year amortization payment to fund any remaining unfundedliabilities associated with post-retirement health benefits of Postal employ-ees; and 5) the surplus resources of the Civil Service Retirement and Dis-ability Fund that are not needed to finance future retirement benefits underCSRS to current or former employees that are attributable to civilian em-ployment with the Postal Service, including the savings from shifting theresponsibility for retirement credit related to military service from thePostal Service to the Treasury. Since the Act's passage in 2006, the PostalService contributed over $50 billion to the Retiree Health Benefits Fundbut has defaulted on $34 billion in total required payments since FY 2012.

Beginning in 2017, the Act also requires the Postal Service to begin a27-year amortization to retire its unfunded liability under CSRS.

The activities of the Postal Service are financed from the followingsources: 1) mail and services revenue; 2) reimbursements from Federaland non-Federal sources; 3) proceeds from borrowing; 4) interest fromU.S. securities and other investments; and 5) appropriations by the Con-gress. All receipts and deposits are made to the Postal Service Fund andare available without fiscal year limitation for payment of all expenses in-curred, retirement of obligations, investment in capital assets, and invest-ment in obligations and securities.

The Postal Service's statutory borrowing authority is capped at $15 billion,with the annual increase in outstanding debt limited to $3.0 billion. As ofSeptember 30, 2016, the total debt instruments issued and outstandingpursuant to this authority amount to the full $15 billion.

The Budget estimates that the Postal Service will have an annual operatingdeficit of $4.7 billion in 2018 and more than $5 billion in each subsequentyear through 2027. Given the Postal Service's history of using defaults toon-budget accounts to continue operations despite losses, the Budget reflectspartial or full defaults on required pension and retiree health amortizationand normal cost payments to prevent the Postal Service from running un-sustainable deficits.

The Budget proposes legislation grounded in the principles of fiscal re-sponsibility and sound financial management to restore solvency to thePostal Service. The proposal would ensure that the Postal Service fundsexisting commitments to current and former employees from businessrevenues not taxpayer funds.

The Budget proposes operational reforms to reduce costs and improverevenue, including: 1) authority to reduce mail delivery frequency wherethere is a business case for doing so; 2) allowing the Postal Service toleverage its resources by increasing collaboration with State and localgovernments; 3) allowing the Postal Service to begin shifting to centralizedand curbside delivery where appropriate; 4) enhancing Postal Servicegovernance to ensure sound financial management; and 5) requiring thefuture rate structure for the Postal Service to provide enough flexibility toensure both the stability of Postal operations and the ability of the PostalService to meet its statutory obligations for retiree health and pension costs.The Budget estimates that these operational reforms will improve the PostalService's financial position by $47 billion over 10 years.

The Budget also proposes Government-wide reforms to pensions andhealth insurance costs that are estimated to further reduce Postal Serviceoperating costs by $33 billion over 10 years. See the Office of PersonnelManagement (OPM) section of the Appendix for more information. Con-sistent with these Government-wide changes, the Budget proposes modify-ing the Postal Service's contributions for life and health insurance for em-ployees to be consistent with the employer contribution provided for allother Federal employees. This change provides $1 billion in relief over theBudget widow.

Finally, to better reflect the true cost of the Postal workforce, the Budgetproposes to require that OPM calculate any unfunded liabilities and resultingamortization payments for the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS)and the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) using factors (includ-ing investment returns, salary growth rates, and cost of living adjustmentsgranted to Postal retirees) specific to the demographics of the Postal Serviceworkforce. These changes will reduce Postal Service costs by $3.4 billionover the Budget window.

In total, the Budget estimates that these reforms will reduce the unifiedbudget deficit by $46 billion over 10 years and result in on-budget savingsof $27 billion through higher payments from the Postal Service to on-budgetOPM accounts.

PROMESA (Public Law 114–187) created an oversight board that is nota department, agency, establishment, or instrumentality of the FederalGovernment but is an entity within the territorial government, which is notsubject to the supervision or control of any Federal agency. See 42 U.S.C.§ 2121(c). Although the Board's financing is derived entirely from theterritorial government, the flow of funds from the territory to the Board ismandated by Federal law. Because Federal law prescribes the flow of fundsto the Board, the Budget reflects the allocation of resources by the territorialgovernment to the new territorial entity with a net zero Federal deficit im-pact, consistent with long-standing budgetary concepts. Because the Boarditself is not a Federal entity, its operations will not be included in the Fed-eral Government's Budget.

The President's Budget includes a legislative proposal to amend theRailroad Retirement Act to allow the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB)to utilize various hiring authorities available to other Federal agencies.Section 7(b)(9) of the Railroad Retirement Act contains language requiringthat all employees of the RRB, except for one assistant for each BoardMember, must be hired under the competitive civil service. Elimination ofthis requirement would enable the RRB to use various hiring authoritiesoffered by the Office of Personnel Management.

The President's Budget includes a legislative proposal to amend theRailroad Retirement Act and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Actto include a felony charge for individuals committing fraud against theAgency. Under this proposal, both the Railroad Retirement Act and theRailroad Unemployment Insurance Act would be amended to include afelony charge similar to violations under 42 U.S.C. 408, 18 U.S.C. 1001,or 18 U.S.C. 287.

All railroad retirees receive the equivalent of a social security benefit,and they may also receive other add-ons including rail industry pensionpayments, windfall payments, and supplemental annuities. Social securitybenefits for former railroad employees are funded by the social securitytrust funds, and rail industry pension payments are the responsibility of therail sector.

Under current law, a financial interchange occurs once each year betweenthe social security trust funds and the social security equivalent benefit(SSEB) account. SSEB receives monthly advances from the general fundequal to an estimate of the transfer SSEB would have received for theprevious month if the financial interchange transfers were on a monthlybasis. Advances from the previous year are repaid annually to the generalfund immediately after the financial interchange is received. In 2016, $3.921million was advanced and $3.843 million was repaid.

The primary mission of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)is to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; andfacilitate capital formation. The SEC's six major programs include thefollowing:

Enforcement.—The Division of Enforcement investigates and prosecutescivil violations of the Federal securities laws and works closely with theDepartment of Justice and other law enforcement partners to coordinateand assist in criminal prosecutions.

Compliance Inspections and Examinations.—The Office of ComplianceInspections and Examinations conducts the SEC's National ExaminationProgram to detect violations of the Federal securities laws and evaluateinternal compliance controls at securities firms registered with the SEC.

Corporation Finance.—The Division of Corporation Finance selectivelyreviews company disclosures to ensure that investors have the informationnecessary to make informed investment decisions and to help deter fraudand misrepresentation in securities transactions.

Trading and Markets.—The Division of Trading and Markets' (TM)mission is to establish and maintain standards for fair, orderly, and efficientmarkets while fostering investor protection and confidence in the markets.TM oversees the activities of industry self-regulatory organizations, suchas the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and directly regulatesmarket participants where Commission rulemaking is more effective thanself-regulation.

Investment Management.—The Division of Investment Managementworks to protect investors, promote informed investment decision making,and facilitate appropriate innovation in investment products and servicesthrough regulation of the asset management industry.

Economic and Risk Analysis.—The Division of Economic and RiskAnalysis integrates financial economics and rigorous data analytics intothe core mission of the SEC.

Several additional program offices directly support the major programs,including the Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, the Office ofthe Chief Accountant, and the Office of International Affairs.

The SEC is funded through offsetting fees and assessments collectedpursuant to section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C.78ee). The Budget proposes $1.602 billion in collections to fund SEC op-erations in 2018. Because the SEC's budget is offset by fees, the agency'sfunding level has no impact on the Federal deficit.

In addition to $1.602 billion in support of operations, the Budget proposesan amount associated with potential relocation costs, such as build out,

information technology infrastructure, security-related equipment, andappropriate General Services Administration (GSA) fees, if the outcomeof the GSA's competitive lease acquisition process for the SEC's expiringheadquarters leases requires the SEC to relocate. At this time, this amountis estimated at $245 million. These funds support the current schedulewhich projects a lease award in 2018. This amount would not be used forthe operations of the SEC and the proposed appropriations languageprovides a mechanism whereby any unused portion of these funds couldbe refunded to fee payers (or returned to the General Fund of the Treasury)as rapidly as practicable.

Section 991 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Pro-tection Act (P.L. 111–203) (the Dodd-Frank Act) amended section 4 ofthe Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78d) to establish the Se-curities and Exchange Commission Reserve Fund. The Reserve Fund is aseparate fund in the Treasury from which the Commission may obligateamounts determined necessary to carry out Commission functions. TheReserve Fund provisions took effect on October 1, 2011.

The Reserve Fund is funded by deposits from registration fees collectedby the Commission under section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 (15U.S.C. 77f(b)) and section 24(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940(15 U.S.C. 80a-24(f)). In any one fiscal year, the amount deposited in theReserve Fund may not exceed $50 million and obligations from the ReserveFund may not exceed $100 million. The balance in the Reserve Fund maynot exceed $100 million. Amounts in the Reserve Fund are available untilexpended. (The remainder of registration fee collections for each fiscalyear are deposited in the General Fund of the Treasury and are not availablefor obligation by the Commission.)

Amounts collected and deposited in the Reserve Fund are not subject toappropriation or apportionment. However, the Commission is required to

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RESERVE FUND—Continued

notify Congress of the amount and purpose of any obligations made utilizingamounts from the Reserve Fund within 10 days.

The 2018 Budget proposes to eliminate the Reserve Fund in 2019. Regis-tration fees currently deposited in the Reserve Fund would be redirectedto the General Fund of the Treasury.

As part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer ProtectionAct (P.L. 111–203) (the Dodd-Frank Act), Congress substantially expandedthe Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC or Commission) authorityto pay whistleblower awards and enhanced the anti-retaliation protectionsavailable to whistleblowers. The intent is to elicit high-quality tips by mo-tivating persons with knowledge of possible securities laws violations toassist the Federal Government in identifying and prosecuting individualswho violate the Federal securities laws.

To comply with direction provided in the Dodd-Frank Act, the SEC'sDivision of Enforcement established an Office of the Whistleblower toadminister and enforce the whistleblower award program. The InvestorProtection Fund (the Fund), established by the Dodd-Frank Act, providesresources for payments to whistleblowers and for the SEC's Office of theInspector General Employee Suggestion Program. Deposits into the Fundare comprised of a portion of monetary sanctions collected by the SEC injudicial or administrative actions brought by the Commission under theFederal securities laws that are not added to a disgorgement fund or otherfund under section 308 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–204),as well as amounts in such funds that will not be distributed to injured in-vestors. No sanction collected by the Commission can be deposited intothe Fund if the balance at the time the sanction is collected exceeds $300million. No funds have been taken or withheld from harmed investors topay whistleblowers awards. The Commission is required to submit an an-nual report on the whistleblower award program to the Committee onBanking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the Senate and the Committee onFinancial Services of the House of Representatives.

The figures reported for 2017 and 2018 are based on assumptions regard-ing several variables inherent to litigation and to the Commission's whis-tleblower award process. Given the potential for significant variation inthe payouts and their timing, it is possible that actual payouts will be eithersignificantly higher or significantly lower than these estimates.

The Surface Transportation Board is charged with the economic oversightof the nation's freight rail system. The Board has regulatory jurisdictionover freight railroad rate reasonableness, car service and interchange,mergers and line acquisitions, line constructions, and line abandonments.[1] While the majority of the Board's work involves freight railroads, theBoard also performs certain regulatory oversight of passenger rail construc-tion/operations and the intercity bus industry, non-energy pipelines,household goods carriers' tariffs, and rate regulation of non-contiguousdomestic water transportation. The Board also has certain responsibilitiesregarding the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), with re-gard to on-time performance, emergency service orders, and disputes overcompensation for access to properties of freight rail carriers. [2] The bipar-tisan Board was formed in 1996 as the successor agency to the InterstateCommerce Commission. [3] Prior to December 18, 2015, the STB wasdecisionally independent but administratively housed within the Departmentof Transportation. The Surface Transportation Board Reauthorization Actof 2015 [4] (Reauthorization Act) established the STB as a wholly inde-pendent agency, expanded its membership from three to five Board Mem-bers, provided new certain new authority, required new rulemakings pro-ceedings and reports, and adjusted certain regulatory deadlines.

2018 Program.—$37,100,000 is requested to implement rulemakingsand adjudicate the ongoing caseload within the directives and deadlinesset forth by the Reauthorization Act and ICCTA. This includes a requestfor $1,250,000 from offsetting collections of user fees.

The following paragraphs are presented in compliance with 49 U.S.C.§1303.

The Board's Request to the Office of Management and Budget(OMB).—The Board has submitted to OMB a 2018 appropriation requestof $37,100,000 and a request that $1,250,000 from the offsetting collectionof user fees be made available to the Board to operate at 142 full-timeequivalents. The offsetting collection of user fees is based on the costs in-curred by the Board for fee-related activities and is commensurate withthe costs of processing parties' submissions. In past fiscal years, the Boardreceived both an appropriation and authorization for offsetting collectionsto be made available to the appropriation for the Board's expenses. TheBudget request reflects offsetting collections as a credit to the appropriationreceived, to the extent that they are collected.

This level of funding is necessary to implement rulemakings and adjudic-ate the ongoing caseload within the deadlines imposed by the Reauthoriz-ation Act and ICCTA. The Board requires adequate resources to performkey functions under the Reauthorization Act and ICCTA, including rail

rate reasonableness oversight; the processing of rail consolidations, licens-ing, and other restructuring proposals; and the resolution of non-rail matters.This request also includes funding to implement extensive upgrades to theBoard's information technology infrastructure and capabilities, and $1.6million to cover newly revised estimated relocation expenses based on in-formation the General Services Administration has provided.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was created in 1933 as a govern-ment-owned corporation charged with a unique mission — to improve thequality of life in the Valley through the integrated management of the re-gion's resources. The TVA Act sets forth the agency's purpose: to addressthe Valley's most important issues in energy, environmental stewardshipand economic development. The agency is currently self-funded, financingits operations almost entirely from revenues and power system financings.

TVA's Non-Power Programs. TVA operates a series of 49 dams and 47reservoirs to reduce the risk of flooding, enable year-round navigation,supply affordable and reliable electricity, improve water quality and watersupply, provide recreational opportunities, stimulate economic growth, andprovide a wide range of other public benefits. TVA is responsible for crit-ical stewardship activities within the Tennessee Valley which include:water release regulation; maintenance of dam machinery and spillwaygates; modifications on nine main and four auxiliary navigation locks andassociated mooring facilities; improvement of water quality and supply;management of shoreline erosion; regulation of shoreline developmentalong the Tennessee River and its tributaries; planning and managementof 293,000 acres of public land; and operation of public recreation areas.These services are funded entirely by TVA's power revenues and its userfees.

TVA's Power Program. TVA supplies electric power to an area of 80,000square miles in parts of the seven Tennessee Valley states. Estimated in-come from power operations, net of interest charges and depreciation, andother operating expenses is approximately $892 million in 2018 on operat-ing revenues of $10.5 billion. Power generating facilities are financed from

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 20181226 Surface Transportation Board—ContinuedFederal Funds—Continued

power revenues and power system financings. TVA's power system finan-cings consist primarily of the sale of debt securities and secondarily of al-ternative forms of financing such as lease arrangements.

TVA Policy Initiatives. TVA is executing a strategic plan to reduce itsdebt to approximately $22 billion by 2023. This plan, adopted by the TVABoard in FY 2014, is designed to achieve the strategic debt goal by imple-menting modest annual base rate actions while focusing on aligning oper-ating and maintenance spending with revenues. Thus far, TVA has exceededits cost reduction initiative goal of reducing operating costs by $500 millionfrom its 2013 budget by approximately $100 million and is committed tofuture continuous improvement initiatives. Additionally, TVA's rate positioncompared to peers has improved since embarking on the strategic debt re-duction plan. At the same time, TVA has continued to make decisions tomove toward an optimized generation fleet as an important part of improv-ing operational performance. TVA has been working for several years to-ward this balanced portfolio as it provides greater flexibility to generatecleaner, low-cost energy more efficiently from a variety of fuel sources.Watts Bar Unit 2 officially became commercially operational on October19, 2016 after completing the final phase of testing. The total completedcost was within the $4.7 billion limit approved by the TVA Board inJanuary 2016. With the addition of Watts Bar Unit 2 and minimal expectedload growth, the TVA Board voted in May 2016 to surplus the property atits Bellefonte Nuclear Plant site in order to offer it for sale. In November2016, following a public auction, TVA entered into a contract to sell sub-stantially the entire site to Nuclear Development, LLC for $111 million.Nuclear Development, LLC has up to two years to close on the property.TVA will continue to maintain the site until then. In the winter of 2016,TVA completed installation of scrubbers at all four units of the GallatinFossil Plant in Tennessee. Work continues to complete installation of se-lective catalytic reduction systems ("SCRs"). The SCRs are expected tobe operational in the fall of 2017. In Memphis, Tennessee, TVA is con-structing a natural gas-fired facility at the Allen Fossil Plant site. TVAplans to retire the Allen coal-fired units no later than December 31, 2018.In March 2016, the final unit of Colbert Fossil Plant was taken offline.TVA will continue to operate the Colbert Combustion Turbine Plant onthe same reservation in Tuscumbia, Alabama. The site features eight simple-cycle combustion turbines with a total net summer generating capacity of712 MW. TVA also has made progress at two locations in Kentucky. Ad-ditional pollution controls are being installed on Units 1 and 4 of theShawnee Fossil Plant with an anticipated operational date in the fall of2017. At the Paradise Fossil Plant site, TVA has invested approximately$1 billion to build a gas-fired plant to replace retired coal-fired Units 1 and2. The new combined cycle plant was opened in April of 2017. ParadiseUnit 3 will continue operation as a coal-fired plant.

Economic Development. From the beginning, TVA was charged withproviding the people of the Tennessee Valley region greater opportunitiesfor prosperity. To that end, TVA works to foster capital investment andjob growth in the Valley in collaboration with regional, state and local or-ganizations. In fiscal year 2016, TVA worked in partnership with communit-ies and the business sector to spur $8.3 billion in business investment inthe Tennessee Valley region and helped attract and retain more than 72,000jobs.

Financing. Amounts estimated to become available for TVA programsin 2018 are to be derived from operating revenues of $10.5 billion. Theoutstanding balance of TVA's bonds, notes, and other evidences of indebted-ness is limited by statute and cannot exceed $30 billion. TVA's outstandingdebt and debt-like obligations were $26.2 billion at the beginning of 2017and are estimated to be $26.2 billion by the end of 2018. At the beginningof 2017, TVA had $2.0 billion in debt-like obligations that are not countedagainst its statutory debt cap. In addition, TVA had an unfunded pensionliability of $5.9 billion in 2016.

Operating results and financial conditions. Payments to the Treasuryfrom power proceeds in 2018 are estimated at a $7 million return on theappropriation investment in the power program. Total capital spending for

2018 is estimated at $1.9 billion, which in addition to new generation ca-pacity includes $300 million for environmental projects and $1.0 billionto maintain TVA's existing generation assets. Total Government equity atSeptember 30, 2018, is estimated to be $886 million more than that atSeptember 30, 2017. This change includes the estimated net income frompower operations and payments to the Treasury. As of September 30, 2016the funding status of TVA employees' defined benefit pension plan(TVARS) increased to a 55% funding ratio and $5.9 billion unfunded liab-ility. This compares to a 53% funding ratio and $6.0 billion unfunded liab-ility in 2015, and a 62% funding ratio and $4.8 billion unfunded liabilityin 2014. TVA contributed $275 million to TVARS, compared to a minimumrequired contribution under the TVARS rules of $209 million, and incurred$460 million in actuarial costs in 2016. TVA also made $692 million inpayments to beneficiaries and earned $733 million, or an 11 percent rateof return, on the plan's investment assets in 2016.

The United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (Court) is a na-tional court of record established by the Veterans Judicial Review Act,Pub. L. No. 100–687, Division A (1988) (Act). The Act, as amended, iscodified in part at 38 U.S.C. §§ 7251–7299. The Court is part of the Federaljudicial system and has a permanent authorization for seven judges, oneof whom serves as chief judge. Congress recently reauthorized two addi-tional judgeships on a temporary basis per Pub. L. 114–315. Judges areappointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of theSenate, for 15-year terms. The Court currently has six active judges andthree judicial vacancies, with one of those active judges scheduled to retirethis coming May. That will leave the Court with only five active judges.Upon retirement, a judge may choose to be recalled-eligible, and thuswilling to be recalled to service by the Chief Judge. Currently, eight of the

Court's nine retired judges are recalled eligible, and are recalled to serviceon a rotational basis. Recall-eligible retired judges may elect full retirementat any time. The Court has exclusive jurisdiction to review decisions madeby the Department of Veterans Affairs Board of Veterans' Appeals (Board)that adversely affect a person's entitlement to VA benefits. This judicialreview, although specialized in scope, is the same as that performed by allother United States Courts of Appeal. In cases before it, the Court has theauthority to decide all relevant questions of law; to interpret constitutional,statutory, and regulatory provisions; and to determine the meaning or ap-plicability of actions/decisions by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. TheCourt may affirm, set aside, reverse, or remand those decisions as appro-priate. Additionally, the Court has authority under 28 U.S.C. § 1651 to issueall writs necessary or appropriate in aid of its jurisdiction, and to act onapplications under 28 U.S.C.§ 2412(d), the Equal Access to Justice Act(EAJA). Certain decisions by the Court are reviewable by the United StatesCourt of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and, if certiorari is granted, bythe United States Supreme Court. For management, administration, andexpenditure of funds in areas beyond the bounds of Chapter 72 of Title 38,the Court may exercise the authorities provided for such purposes applicableto other courts as defined in Title 28, U.S. Code.

In 1992, the Congress authorized the Court to transfer funds from its ap-propriation that year to the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), for thepurpose of providing, facilitating, and furnishing legal and other assistance,through grant or contract, to veterans and others seeking recourse in theCourt. That program, often referred to as the pro bono representation pro-gram, has been ongoing since that time, with LSC responsible for oversightand grant distribution responsibilities. The Appropriations Subcommitteesconsider that budget request separately from the Court's budget request,although both are submitted together.

A total of $33,608,000 of which $31,028,000 will be used by the UnitedStates Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims for operations as authorizedby 38 U.S.C. §§ 7251–7299; and $2,580,000, which shall be transferredto the Legal Services Corporation to facilitate the furnishing of legal andother assistance in accordance with the process and reporting proceduresset forth under this heading in Public Law No. 102–229.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is an independent,private-sector organization organized in 1973 within the Financial Account-ing Foundation (FAF), which is an independent, private-sector, not-for-

profit corporation. The FASB consists of a seven-member board, whosemembers are appointed by the FAF. The FASB was originally designatedby the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) as the author-itative standard setter for purposes of the Federal securities laws in 1973.In April 2003, the Commission reaffirmed the status of the FASB as adesignated private-sector standard setting body pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Act) (P.L. 107–204), stating that the FASB's finan-cial accounting and reporting standards are recognized as "generally accep-ted'' for purposes of the Federal securities laws.

The Act authorizes funding for the standard setting body to be derivedfrom an accounting support fee assessed on public companies, althoughthe FAF has, on a voluntary basis, partially offset the fees that could beassessed pursuant to the Act by payments derived from publication salesand licensing fees. Prior to the Act, the FASB was funded by voluntarycontributions from public companies, public accounting firms, and otherstakeholders. The standard setting body's accounting support fee is subjectto review by the Commission.
