Summary
This report describes actions taken to provide FY2022 appropriations for Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) accounts. The annual CJS appropriations act provides funding for the Department of Commerce, which includes bureaus and offices such as the Census Bureau, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology; the Department of Justice (DOJ), which includes agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Prisons, the U.S. Marshals, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the U.S. Attorneys; the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA); the National Science Foundation (NSF); and several related agencies such as the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The Administration requested $83.924 billion for CJS for FY2022, which was $8.388 billion (+11.1%) more than the FY2021 regular appropriation (i.e., total appropriations not counting the $3.930 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations for CJS for FY2021). The Administration's budget request for CJS included $11.581 billion for the Department of Commerce; $36.117 billion for the Department of Justice; $34.979 billion for the science agencies; and $1.247 billion for the related agencies. The Administration's FY2022 budget proposed consolidating funding for the Census Bureau into one account. Currently, the Census Bureau is funded through two accounts: Current Surveys and Programs and Periodic Censuses and Programs.
The FY2022 CJS appropriations bill reported by the House Committee on Appropriations (H.R. 4505) would have provided a total of $83.324 billion for CJS, which was $7.788 billion (+10.3%) more than the FY2021 regular appropriation and $496 million (-0.6%) less than the Administration's request. The committee-reported bill included $10.945 billion for the Department of Commerce; $36.435 billion for the Department of Justice; $34.682 billion for the science agencies; and $1.262 billion for the related agencies.
The FY2022 CJS appropriations bill reported in the Senate (S. 3042) would have provided $82.363 billion for CJS for FY2022, which was $6.828 billion (+9.0%) greater than the FY2021 regular appropriation and $1.457 billion (-1.7%) less than the Administration's request. The bill included $10.652 billion for the Department of Commerce; $36.230 billion for the Department of Justice; $34.323 billion for the science agencies; and $1.159 billion for the related agencies.
On March 15, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (P.L. 117-103), which provides $79.114 billion in regular appropriations for CJS for FY2022. This amount is $3.579 billion (+4.7%) more than the FY2021 regular appropriation and $4.706 billion (-5.6%) less than the Administration's request. The act includes $9.903 billion for the Department of Commerce; $35.207 billion for the Department of Justice; $32.888 billion for the science agencies; and $1.116 billion for the related agencies. The act does not include the Administration's proposal to consolidate the Census Bureau's funding into one account; the act maintains the Census Bureau's current budget structure. In addition to the amounts provided in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, CJS also received $47.575 billion in emergency supplemental funding for FY2022, most of which was provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58, IIJA). IIJA also provided advanced appropriations for FY2023 to FY2026 for one National Telecommunications and Information Administration program and two NOAA accounts.
This report describes actions taken to provide FY2022 appropriations for Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) accounts. This report also provides information on FY2021 and FY2022 supplemental appropriations and advanced appropriations for CJS. (Enacted funding for CJS for the past 10 fiscal years can be found in Table A-1.)
The dollar amounts in this report reflect only new appropriations made available for the fiscal year. Therefore, the amounts do not include any rescissions of unobligated or deobligated balances that may be counted as offsets to newly enacted appropriations, nor do they include any scorekeeping adjustments (e.g., the budgetary effects of provisions limiting the availability of the balance in the Crime Victims Fund). In this report, appropriations are rounded to the nearest million. However, percentage changes are calculated using whole, not rounded, numbers, meaning that in some instances there may be small differences between the actual percentage change and the percentage change that would be calculated by using the rounded amounts discussed in the report.
The annual CJS appropriations act provides funding for the Department of Commerce, the Department of Justice (DOJ), select science agencies, and several related agencies. Appropriations for the Department of Commerce include funding for bureaus and offices such as the Census Bureau, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Appropriations for DOJ provide funding for agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation; the Bureau of Prisons; the U.S. Marshals; the Drug Enforcement Administration; and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, along with funding for a variety of public safety-related grant programs for state, local, and tribal governments. The vast majority of funding for the science agencies goes to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Science Foundation.1 The annual appropriation for the related agencies includes funding for agencies such as the Legal Services Corporation and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The mission of the Department of Commerce is to "create the conditions for economic growth and opportunity."2 The department promotes "job creation and economic growth by ensuring fair and reciprocal trade, providing the data necessary to support commerce and constitutional democracy, and fostering innovation by setting standards and conducting foundational research and development."3 It has wide-ranging responsibilities including trade, economic development, technology, entrepreneurship and business development, monitoring the environment, forecasting weather, managing marine resources, and statistical research and analysis. The department pursues and implements policies that affect trade and economic development by working to open new markets for U.S. goods and services and promoting pro-growth business policies. It also invests in research and development to foster innovation.
The agencies within the Department of Commerce, and their responsibilities, include the following:
DOJ's mission is to "enforce the law and defend the interests of the United States according to the law; to ensure public safety against threats foreign and domestic; to provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime; to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior; and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans."4 DOJ also provides legal advice and opinions, upon request, to the President and executive branch department heads.
The major DOJ offices and agencies and their functions are described below:
The science offices and agencies support research and development and related activities across a wide variety of federal missions, including national competitiveness, space exploration, and fundamental discovery.
Office of Science and Technology Policy
The primary function of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is to provide the President and others within the Executive Office of the President with advice on the scientific, engineering, and technological aspects of issues that require the attention of the federal government.5 The OSTP director also manages the National Science and Technology Council,6 which coordinates science and technology policy across the executive branch of the federal government, and cochairs the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology,7 a council of external advisors that provides advice to the President on matters related to science and technology policy.
The National Space Council, in the Executive Office of the President, is a coordinating body for U.S. space policy. Chaired by the Vice President, it consists of the Secretaries of State, Defense, Commerce, Transportation, and Homeland Security; the Administrator of NASA; and other senior officials. The council was first established in 1988 through P.L. 100-685.8 The council ceased operations in 1993, and was reestablished by the Trump Administration in June 2017.9
The National Science Foundation (NSF) supports basic research and education in the nonmedical sciences and engineering. The foundation was established as an independent federal agency "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense; and for other purposes."10 The NSF is a primary source of federal support for U.S. university research in the nonmedical sciences and engineering. It is also responsible for significant shares of the federal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education program portfolio and federal STEM student aid and support.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created to conduct civilian space and aeronautics activities.11 It has five mission directorates. The Space Operations Mission Directorate and the Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate are responsible for human spaceflight activities, including the International Space Station and development efforts for future crewed spacecraft. The Science Mission Directorate manages robotic science missions, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, the Mars rover Curiosity, and satellites for Earth science research. The Space Technology Mission Directorate develops new technologies for use in future space missions, such as advanced propulsion and laser communications. The Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate conducts research and development on aircraft and aviation systems. In addition, NASA's Office of STEM Engagement (formerly the Office of Education) manages education programs for schoolchildren, college and university students, and the general public.
The annual CJS appropriations act includes funding for several related agencies:
The Administration requested $83.924 billion for CJS for FY2022, which was $8.388 billion (+11.1%) more than the FY2021 regular appropriation (see Table 1). There was also $3.930 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations for CJS for FY2021 (see Table 2). The Administration's budget request for CJS included the following:
The Administration's FY2022 budget requested funding for every Department of Commerce account at or above the FY2021 regular appropriation. The Administration's FY2022 budget requested double-digit percentage increases for many Department of Commerce accounts, such as the NTIA (+$44 million, a 96.8% increase); NIST's Construction of Research Facilities account (+$60 million, a 75.0% increase); the MBDA (+$22 million, a 45.9% increase); NOAA's Procurement, Acquisition, and Construction account (+$694 million, a 45.3% increase), EDA's Economic Development Assistance Programs account (+$77 million, a 25.2% increase); EDA's Salaries and Expenses account (+$10 million, a 25.0% increase); NOAA's Operations, Research, and Facilities account (+$849 million, a 22.1% increase); NIST's Scientific and Technical Research and Services account (+$128 million, a 16.2% increase); and the ESA (+$14 million, a 12.3% increase). The Administration also proposed a 165.3% (+$275 million) increase for NIST's Industrial Technology Services account. The Administration's FY2022 budget proposed consolidating funding for the Census Bureau into one account. Currently, the Census Bureau is funded through two accounts: Current Surveys and Programs and Periodic Censuses and Programs. According to the Administration, the new account structure would have supported the bureau's "multi-year process of transforming its organization and operations from a 20th century survey-centric model to a 21st century data-centric model that blends survey data with administrative and alternative digital data sources."12
The Administration's FY2022 budget requested increased funding for nearly every DOJ account. The exceptions were the FBI Construction account, for which the Administration proposed an 89.1% decrease; the DEA Construction account, for which the Administration did not request any funding; and BOP's Salaries and Expenses account, for which the Administration proposed a 0.5% reduction. The Administration also proposed funding the Fees and Expenses of Witnesses, the USMS Construction, and the Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement accounts at the FY2021 enacted levels. The Administration requested increased funding for the Salaries and Expenses account of DOJ's law enforcement agencies (FBI, +$465 million, a 4.8% increase; USMS, +$145 million, a 9.7% increase; ATF, +$71 million, a 4.8% increase; and DEA, +$22 million, a 3.1% increase) and the U.S. Attorneys (+$197 million, an 8.4% increase). The Administration proposed increases for each of DOJ's grant accounts: OVW (+$487 million, a 94.7% increase); Juvenile Justice Programs (+$450 million, a 130.1% increase); COPS (+$265 million, a 68.7% increase); and State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance (+$134 million, a 7.0% increase). The Administration also proposed increasing the obligation cap on the Crime Victims Fund by $635 million to $2.650 billion (+31.5%).
The Administration's FY2022 budget included proposed increases for the Office of Science and Technology Policy, NASA, and NSF. The Administration proposed funding the National Space Council at the FY2021 enacted level. The Administration requested a $1.530 billion increase (+6.6%) for NASA for FY2022, which included a requested increase for nearly all of NASA's accounts (the one exception was the Construction and Environmental Compliance and Restoration account, which the Administration proposed funding at the FY2021 enacted level). The Administration requested a $1.683 billion (+19.8%) increase for NSF, which included a proposed increase for each of NSF's accounts.
The Administration's budget included proposed increases for many of the related agencies. The two exceptions were requested funding for the International Trade Commission and the Trade Enforcement Fund, which the Administration proposed funding at the FY2021 enacted levels.
The House Committee on Appropriations reported its FY2022 CJS appropriations bill on July 19, 2021 (H.R. 4505). The bill would have provided a total of $83.324 billion for CJS, which was $7.788 billion (+10.3%) more than the FY2021 regular appropriation and $496 million (-0.6%) less than the Administration's request. The committee-reported bill included the following:
The bill reported by the House Committee on Appropriations would have funded each Commerce account at or above the FY2021 regular appropriation, but it would have funded some Commerce accounts below the amounts requested by the Administration. The committee recommended an overall reduction in funding for NIST (-$128 million, -8.6%) and NOAA (-$506 million, -7.3%) relative to the Administration's request. The overall reduction for NIST was the result of a proposed reduction for the Industrial Technology Services (-$110 million, -24.9%) and Construction of Research Facilities (-$40 million, -28.6%) accounts. The overall reduction for NOAA was the result of a proposed reduction for the Operations, Research, and Facilities (-$264 million, -5.6%) and Procurement, Acquisition, and Construction (-$242 million, -10.9%) accounts. The bill would have also funded ESA at a level that is $5 million (-4.0%) less than the request. The committee did not adopt the Administration's proposal to fund the Census Bureau's operations through a single account.
The committee-reported bill would have funded all DOJ accounts at levels equal to or greater than the FY2021 regular appropriation, with the exception of the FBI's Construction account (-$504 million, -89.1%). The committee generally recommended funding for DOJ accounts that was equal to or greater than the Administration's request, but there were a few notable exceptions. The committee-reported bill would have provided less than the Administration requested for the Juvenile Justice Programs (-$302 million, -37.9%), Office on Violence Against Women (-$246 million, -24.6%), and COPS (-$200 million, -30.7%) accounts. The committee also proposed a $20 million (-0.5%) reduction for the USMS and a $5 million (-0.2%) reduction for the U.S. Attorneys.
The committee recommended increased funding for NASA, NSF, and the Office of Science and Technology Policy relative to the FY2021 enacted appropriation. The committee recommended funding the National Space Council at the FY2021 enacted level. The committee-reported bill would have provided an overall increase for NASA (+$237 million, +1.0%) relative to the Administration's request, though the committee recommended decreased funding for the Space Technology (-$145 million, -10.2%); Space Operations (-$56 million, -1.4%); and Safety, Security, and Mission Services (-$19 million, -0.6%) accounts relative to the Administration's request. The committee recommendation for NSF was below the Administration's request (-$535 million, -5.3%), with proposed reductions to the Research and Related Activities (-$444 million, -5.5%), Agency Operations and Award Management (-$78 million, -16.7%), and Education and Human Resources (-$13 million, -1.0%) accounts.
The committee-reported bill would have increased funding for each of the related agencies relative to the FY2021 enacted appropriation. Recommended FY2022 funding for the related agencies would have generally been equal to or greater than the Administration's request, with the exception of the Marine Mammal Commission (-4.8%) and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (-0.3%).
On October 21, 2021, the FY2022 CJS appropriations bill (S. 3042) was introduced in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Appropriations. The bill would have provided $82.363 billion for CJS for FY2022, which was $6.828 billion (+9.0%) greater than the FY2021 regular appropriation and $1.457 billion (-1.7%) less than the Administration's request. The bill included the following:
Proposed funding for all Commerce accounts in the Senate bill was equal to or greater than the FY2021 regular appropriation. On the other hand, the bill would have funded many Commerce accounts at a level below the Administration's request. Some exceptions to the proposed reduction in funding in the bill relative to the Administration's request included increased funding for NIST's Construction of Research Facilities (+$128 million, +91.5%) and the ITA (+$14 million, +2.4%). The bill would have also funded NOAA's Fisheries Contingency Fund and Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery accounts and BIS at a level equal to the Administration's request. The bill did not include the Administration's proposal to consolidate the Census Bureau's funding into one account.
Under the Senate bill, all but one of DOJ's accounts would have been funded at or above the FY2021 enacted level; the bill would not have provided any funding for the DEA's construction account. The bill would have funded many DOJ accounts at the Administration's requested level for FY2022. Some notable proposed lower funding levels relative to the Administration's request included
There were also some DOJ accounts that the Senate bill would have funded at a level above the Administration's request:
In the Senate bill, all of the science accounts would have been funded at a level equal to or greater than the FY2021 enacted amount. The bill would have funded many of NASA's accounts at or above the Administration's request, with the exception of the Space Technology (-$175 million, -12.3%) and Science (-$30 million, -0.4%) accounts. The bill would have provided less funding for NSF relative to the Administration's request (-$683 million, -6.7%), with proposed reductions to the Research and Related Activities (-$473 million, -5.8%), Education and Human Resources (-$187 million, -14.5%), and Agency Operations and Awards Management (-$23 million, -4.8%) accounts.
The Senate bill would have provided funding for each of the related agencies at a level equal to or greater than the FY2021 enacted appropriation. Under the bill, most of the related agencies would have been funded at a level equal to the Administration's request, with the exception of the International Trade Commission (+$16 million, +15.3%), the Legal Services Corporation (-$85 million, -14.2%), and the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (-$21 million, -4.7%). The bill also included $2 million for the Commission on the State of the U.S. Olympics and Paralympics, which was authorized by the Empowering Olympic, Paralympic, and Amateur Athletes Act of 2020 (P.L. 116-189).
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (P.L. 117-103) provides $79.114 billion in regular appropriations for CJS for FY2022. As shown in Table 3, the CJS also received $47.575 billion in emergency supplemental funding for FY2022, most of which was provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58, IIJA). The Consolidated Appropriations Act includes:
With few exceptions, FY2022 regular funding for CJS accounts was equal to or greater than FY2021 regular funding. Some notable exceptions include DOJ's Research, Evaluation, and Statistics account, which for FY2022 received $16 million (-14.6%) million less than it did for FY2021. In addition, the DEA's Construction account was not funded for FY2022 after it received $50 million for FY2021 (the Administration did not request funding for this account for FY2022).
On the other hand, in many instances, FY2022 regular funding for CJS accounts was below the Administration's request. There were several CJS accounts where funding was equal to the Administration's request. However, there are a few instances of Congress providing funding above the Administration's request, including:
The Consolidated Appropriations Act did not include the Administration's proposal to fund the Census Bureau's operations through one account; it continues the bureau's past budget structure. In addition, the act includes $2 million for the Commission on the State of the U.S. Olympics and Paralympics.

Sources: The FY2021 enacted amounts were taken from the joint explanatory statement to accompany P.L. 116-260, printed in the December 21, 2020, Congressional Record (pp. H7951-H7966). FY2022 requested and House committee-reported amounts were taken from H.Rept. 117-97. Senate-introduced bill amounts were taken from the text of S. 3042 and joint explanatory statement posted on the Senate Committee on Appropriations' website (https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/majority/chairman-leahy-releases-remaining-nine-senate-appropriations-bills). The FY2022 enacted amounts were taken from the text of P.L. 117-103 and the text of the joint explanatory statement, printed in the March 9, 2022 Congressional Record (pp. H1772-H1865).
Notes: The accounts presented in Table 1 are consistent with those used by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to score the CJS appropriations bill. Amounts in parenthesis are subaccounts and not offsets.
a. FY2021 enacted amounts do not include emergency supplemental funding. For information on FY2021 supplemental funding for CJS, see Table 2.
b. FY2022 enacted amounts do not include emergency supplemental funding. For information on FY2022 supplemental funding for CJS, see Table 3.
c. Funding for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is fully derived from user fees.
d. The Manufacturing USA Program was formerly known as the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation.
e. The amount for the Operations, Research, and Facilities account includes a transfer from the Promote and Develop Fishery Products and Research Pertaining to American Fisheries Fund.
f. Funding provided through a general provision for a use of force database as required by Executive Order 13929.
g. As a part of the annual CJS appropriations act, Congress traditionally sets a limit on the amount of expenses that can be paid for the purposes authorized under subparagraphs (B), (F), and (G) of Section 524(c)(1) of Title 28 of the United States Code.
FY2021 Supplemental Funding for CJS
P.L. 116-260 included $929 million in supplemental funding to help CJS agencies respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Supplemental funding for the USMS, FBI, and BOP was included as general provisions (§§541-543) in the FY2021 CJS Appropriations Act. Supplemental funding for NOAA was included in Division M (Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021) and supplemental funding for MBDA was included in Division N (Additional Coronavirus Response and Relief).
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2) included $3.000 billion in supplemental funding to the EDA for economic adjustment assistance, to prevent, prepare for, and respond to COVID-19 and for responding to economic injury as a result of COVID-19. Of this amount, 25% is for states and communities that have been affected by the decline in the "travel, tourism, or outdoor recreation sectors."
The Emergency Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 117-31) included $1 million for DOJ's State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance account to cover costs related to providing security for then-President-elect Biden until his inauguration on January 20, 2021.
