Under the Department of Commerce, significant funding is allocated to the International Trade Administration for export promotion and China enforcement, and the Bureau of Industry and Security for export control and national security activities. The bill also supports the Economic Development Administration , Bureau of the Census for surveys and periodic censuses, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office , which is largely funded by fees. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) receives substantial funding for scientific research, industrial technology services like the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership, and the construction of research facilities. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is funded for operations, research, facilities, procurement, and specific programs such as Pacific coastal salmon recovery and fisheries disaster assistance. General provisions for Commerce include transfer authorities and a prohibition on NIST funds for high-performance computing resources in China. For the Department of Justice, appropriations cover Justice Operations, Management, and Accountability , and the Executive Office for Immigration Review . Legal activities include funding for General Legal Activities , the Antitrust Division , United States Attorneys , and the United States Marshals Service for salaries, expenses, and federal prisoner detention. The bill also funds the National Security Division , Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) , Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) , and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) , with specific limitations on certain ATF regulations and programs. Significant resources are directed towards State and Local Law Enforcement Activities , including the Office on Violence Against Women for various prevention and prosecution programs. The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) receives funding for research, evaluation, statistics, and extensive state and local law enforcement assistance programs, such as the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program and initiatives addressing opioid use disorders. Juvenile Justice Programs and Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) also receive substantial allocations for youth mentoring, officer hiring, and law enforcement technologies. Science agencies receive considerable funding, with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) allocated funds for science, aeronautics, space technology, exploration (including the Space Launch System and Orion), space operations, and safety and mission services. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is funded for research and related activities, major research equipment, and agency operations. Related agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) also receive appropriations. General provisions in the bill establish rules for fund reprogramming, require "Made in America" for promotional items, and mandate quarterly reports on appropriation balances. Key policy limitations include restrictions on IT system acquisitions from certain foreign entities, prohibitions on specific ATF rules, and limitations on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The bill also includes provisions protecting religious beliefs, restricting federal firearms registries, and prohibiting the use of funds to sue states over abortion or transgender medical procedure laws. Finally, the bill rescinds unobligated balances from several Commerce and Justice accounts.
