Biometric Identity Capability Development. -In 2018, Congress authorized the transfer of
the Office of Biometric Identity Management (OBIM) from what was then the National
Protection and Programs Directorate to the Management Directorate to provide biometric
identity capabilities across the OHS enterprise. Despite finalizing a contract award six years ago
to replace the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT), the Department has been
unable to deliver initial operating capability for the follow-on capability called Homeland
Advanced Recognition Technology System (HART). GAO report GA0-24-106573 found that
"since approval of HART' s initial acquisition program baseline in April 2016, the program has
primarily been in breech status." Further, GAO reported that "delays in delivering planned
capabilities and continued reliance on IDENT represent a significant challenge to meeting user
needs for OHS and its partner agencies, which include other Federal agencies, state and local law
enforcement agencies, and the international community." And that "continued reliance on an
overextended IDENT system represents an ongoing risk as the legacy system risks failure and
additional investments are necessary to keep the system operational." This program continued to
suffer several program breaches and cost and schedule overruns. To date, Congress has provided
over $218,000,000 in development funding. The Department's current cost estimates to complete
the development of this system now exceed $454,000,000. In GAO's latest review, these cost
estimates are still considered unreliable.
Not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act and monthly thereafter, until
full operational capability of HART is achieved, the Department shall brief the Committees on
9
system development progress, associated costs, and schedule. Such briefings shall also provide
the Committees with similar updates regarding IDENT.
Within one year of the date of enactment of this Act, GAO shall initiate a review on HART,
addressing how relevant stakeholders have implemented previous GAO recommendations, are
ensuring compliance with privacy standards, and are ensuring coordination amongst all user
groups.

the request to provide an enterprise-wide applied artificial intelligence maritime domain
capability to identify, enable, and target maritime activities, utilizing dark activity and other
deceptive shipping practices, to counter fentanyl and precursor chemicals, enforce sanction
violations, and enhance law enforcement missions across the Department.
!DENT Sustainment Operations.-The agreement includes an increase of $33,500,000 for
the continued operation of ID ENT.
Obligation Plans. -The Department shall continue to submit obligation plans on a quarterly
basis consistent with direction provided in the explanatory statement accompanying Public Law
114-113. Additionally, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) shall require the use of
a uniform obligation plan template connected to activity-level details in the budget justification
materials to ensure consistency across components, which shall include quarterly spending
targets for each account and PP A. OCFO shall be responsible for ensuring that components with
major acquisition programs include the breakout of these programs within their quarterly plans
and provide additional context to describe and justify any changes from the prior submission.

results of the review, including a detailed accounting of if, when, and why the decision was made
to withhold information regarding the investigation from Congress, the Coast Guard personnel
involved in any such decision, and their respective roles in any such decision. Further, OIG shall,
where appropriate and in accordance with the provisions of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5

Section 503. The agreement continues and modifies a provision related to reprogramming

The Department must notify the Committees on Appropriations at least 30 days in advance of
each reprogramming of funds that would: (1) reduce programs, projects, and activities, or
personnel, by ten percent or more; or (2) increase a program, project, or activity by more than
$5,000,000 or ten percent, whichever is less.
The term "program, project, and activity" (PPA) is defined as each functional category listed
under an account heading in the funding table at the back of this explanatory statement, along
52
with each funding amount designated for a particular purpose within the statement narrative,
exclusive of simple references to increases or reductions below the budget request. Funding for
each PPA should not be used for the purposes of any other PPA. Within 30 days of the date of
enactment of this Act, the Department shall submit to the Committees a table delineating PP As
subject to section 503 notification requirements.
For purposes of reprogramming notifications, the creation of a new program, project, or
activity is defined as any significant new activity that has not been explicitly justified to the
Congress in budget justification material and for which funds have not been appropriated by the
Congress.
Limited transfer authority is provided to give the Department flexibility in responding to
emerging requirements and significant changes in circumstances, but is not intended to facilitate
the implementation of new programs, projects, or activities that were not proposed in a
formal budget submission. Transfers may not reduce accounts by more than five percent or
augment appropriations by more than ten percent. The Department must notify the Committees
on Appropriations not fewer than 30 days in advance of any transfer.
To avoid violations of the Anti-Deficiency Act, the Secretary shall ensure that any transfer of
funds is carried out in compliance with the limitations and requirements of section 503( c). In
particular, the Secretary should ensure that any such transfers adhere to the opinion of the
Comptroller General's decision in the Matter of John D. Webster, Director, Financial Services,
Library of Congress, dated November 7, 1997, with regard to the definition of an appropriation
subject to transfer limitations.
Notifications should provide complete explanations of proposed funding reallocations,
including detailed justifications for increases and offsets; any specific impact the proposed
changes are expected to have on future-year appropriations requirements; a table showing the
proposed revisions to funding and full-time equivalents (FTE)-at the account and PP A levels-
for the current fiscal year; and any expected funding and FTE impacts during the budget year.
The Department shall manage its PP As within the levels appropriated and should only submit
reprogramming or transfer notifications in cases of unforeseeable and compelling circumstances
that could not have been predicted when formulating the budget request for the current fiscal
year. When the Department becomes aware of an emerging requirement after the President's
budget has been submitted to Congress but prior to the enactment of a full-year funding Act for
53
the budget year, it is incumbent on the Office of the Chief Financial Officer to timely notify the
Committees. When the Department submits a reprogramming or transfer notification and does
not receive identical responses from the House and Senate Committees, it is expected to work
with the Committees to reconcile the differences before proceeding.
Section 504. The agreement continues a provision, by reference, prohibiting funds
appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department to make payment to the Working

unobligated balances from prior-year appropriations for each Operations and Support
appropriation shall remain available through fiscal year 202 , subject to section 503
reprogramming requirements.
Section 506. The agreement continues a provision that deems intelligence activities to be
specifically authorized during fiscal year 2024 until the enactment of an Act authorizil)g
intelligence activities for fiscal year 2024. When such an authorization is enacted after the
enactment of this Act, amounts appropriated for "Intelligence, Analysis, and Situational
Awareness-Operations and Support" in excess of the authorized amounts shall be transferred to
"Management Directorate-Operations and Support".
Section 507. The agreement continues and modifies a provision requiring notification to the
Committees at least three days before OHS executes or announces grant allocations or grant
awards totaling $1,000,000 or more; an award or contract, other transaction agreement, or task
