Summary

This report describes actions to provide FY2025 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, 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 Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Offices of the U.S. Attorneys; the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; the National Science Foundation; and several related agencies such as the Legal Services Corporation and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The Administration requested a total of $87.914 billion for the departments and agencies funded through CJS for FY2025. The Administration's request included $11.465 billion for the Department of Commerce, which was $637 million (+5.9%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation; $39.589 billion for DOJ, which was $2.069 billion (+5.5%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation; $35.577 billion for the science agencies, which was $1.632 billion (+4.8%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation; and $1.284 billion for the related agencies, which was $46 million (+3.7%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation.

The bill reported by the House Committee on Appropriations would have provided a total of $81.940 billion for CJS. The committee-reported bill included $9.848 billion for the Department of Commerce, which was $980 million (-9.0%) less than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $1.617 billion (-14.1%) less than the Administration's request; $36.532 billion for DOJ, which was $988 million (-2.6%) less than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $3.057 billion (-7.7%) less than the Administration's request; $34.445 billion for the science agencies, which was $500 million (+1.5%) more than the FY2024 appropriation and $1.132 billion (-3.2%) less than the Administration's request; and $1.115 billion for the related agencies, which was $122 million (-9.9%) less than the FY2024 appropriation and $169 million (-13.1%) less than the Administration's request.

The bill reported by the Senate Committee on Appropriations would have provided a total of $86.248 billion for CJS. The committee-reported bill included $11.545 billion for the Department of Commerce, which was $717 million (6.6%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $80 million (0.7%) more than the Administration's request; $38.426 billion for DOJ, which was $906 million (2.4%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $1.163 billion (2.9%) less than the Administration's request; $34.994 billion for the science agencies, which was $1.049 billion (3.1%) more than the FY2024 appropriation and $583 million (-1.6%) less than the Administration's request; and $1.284 billion for the related agencies, which was $46 million (3.7%) more than the FY2024 appropriation and equal to the Administration's request.

The Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (CR, P.L. 119-4) provides FY2025 funding for most CJS accounts at the FY2024 enacted level. The CR reduced funding for several CJS accounts relative to the FY2024 enacted appropriation. The reductions were the result of eliminating certain funding in CJS accounts that was for community funding projects (also known as earmarks) in FY2024. The CR also increased funding for two DOJ accounts and increased the obligation cap for the Crime Victims Fund. The CR includes $10.388 billion for the Department of Commerce, which is $440 million (-4.1%) less than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $1.077 billion (-9.4%) less than the Administration's request; $36.967 billion for DOJ, which is $553 million (-1.5%) less than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $2.622 billion (-6.6%) less than the Administration's request; $33.908 billion for the science agencies, which is $37 million (-0.1%) less than the FY2024 appropriation and $1.668 billion (-4.7%) less than the Administration's request; and $1.237 billion for the related agencies, which is equal to the FY2024 appropriation and $46 million (-3.6%) less than the Administration's request.

This report describes actions to provide FY2025 appropriations for Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) accounts. This report also provides information on FY2024 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 a 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, 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. In some instances, amounts in this report differ from amounts for the same account in previous editions of this report because past reports did not reflect supplemental budget requests or because there were differences in how legislative proposals are scored by the Office of Management and Budget and the Congressional Budget Office.

Overview of CJS

FY2025 Administration's Request

For FY2025, the Administration requested a total of $87.914 billion for the departments and agencies funded through CJS. This amount was $4.384 billion (+5.2%) more than regular FY2024 enacted funding for CJS ($83.530 billion). The Administration's request included the following:

$11.465 billion for the Department of Commerce, which was $637 million (+5.9%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation;

$39.589 billion for DOJ, which was $2.069 billion (+5.5%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation;

$35.577 billion for the science agencies, which was $1.632 billion (+4.8%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation; and

$1.284 billion for the related agencies, which was $46 million (+3.7%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation.

The Administration designated the following amounts under the following accounts as emergency spending in its FY2025 request:

NSF, Research and Related Activities, $420 million;

NASA, Construction and Environmental Compliance and Restoration, $296 million;

NOAA, Procurement, Acquisition, and Construction, $180 million;

BOP, Buildings and Facilities, $179 million; and

NOAA, Operations, Research, and Facilities, $15 million.

The Administration requested funding for nearly all Commerce accounts at a level equal to or greater than the FY2024 regular appropriation. The two exceptions were NOAA's Operations, Research, and Facilities (-$176 million, -3.9%) and NIST's Scientific and Technical Research and Services (-$105 million, -9.7%) accounts.

As it did for Commerce, the Administration requested funding at or above the FY2024 regular appropriation for nearly all of DOJ's accounts. Two exceptions were accounts that provide grants for the criminal justice system: the State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance (-$466 million, -18.8%) and the COPS (-$131 million, -19.6%) accounts, though the decrease was partly due to the fact that for FY2024 both these accounts included community funding projects identified by Congress and the Administration does not request congressionally directed funding.

The Administration's request for NASA overall was $509 million (+2.0%) greater than the FY2024 regular appropriation, but the Administration requested reduced funding for two NASA accounts: Exploration (-$48 million, -0.6%) and Safety, Security, and Mission Services (-$85 million, -2.7%).

The Administration's request for NSF was $1.123 billion (+12.4%) greater than the FY2024 regular appropriation. The Administration's request for all of NSF's accounts was greater than the FY2024 regular appropriation.

The FY2025 request for all of the related agencies was at or above the FY2024 regular appropriation.

House Committee-Reported Bill

The House Committee on Appropriations marked up and reported its FY2025 CJS appropriations bill (H.R. 9026, H.Rept. 118-582) on July 9, 2024. The bill would have provided a total of $81.940 billion for the departments and agencies funded through the CJS appropriations bill. The amount in the committee-reported bill was $1.590 billion (-1.9%) less than the FY2024 regular appropriation for CJS and $5.974 (-6.8%) less than the Administration's FY2025 request. The committee-reported bill included the following:

$9.848 billion for the Department of Commerce, which was $980 million (-9.0%) less than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $1.617 billion (-14.1%) less than the Administration's request;

$36.532 billion for DOJ, which was $988 million (-2.6%) less than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $3.057 billion (-7.7%) less than the Administration's request;

$34.445 billion for the science agencies, which was $500 million (+1.5%) more than the FY2024 appropriation and $1.132 billion (-3.2%) less than the Administration's request; and

$1.115 billion for the related agencies, which was $122 million (-9.9%) less than the FY2024 appropriation and $169 million (-13.1%) less than the Administration's request.

The committee-reported bill would have funded most Commerce accounts below the FY2024 regular appropriation. Exceptions included EDA's Salaries and Expenses account, the Census Bureau's Periodic Censuses and Programs account, NIST's Industrial Technology Services account, and NOAA's Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery account, all of which would have been funded at the FY2024 level. The committee-reported bill only proposed increased funding, relative to the FY2024 level, for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (which is fully offset by user fees) and NIST's Construction of Research Facilities account (+$32 million, +19.0%). The committee-reported bill would have funded many of Commerce's accounts below the Administration's request. Committee-recommended funding for NIST's Industrial and Technology Services account and NOAA's Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery account was equal to the Administration's request. The committee's recommended funding for NIST's Scientific and Technical Research and Services account (+$28 million, +2.9%) was greater than the Administration's request.

The committee-reported bill would have decreased funding for several DOJ agencies, such as the U.S. Attorneys (-$299 million, -11.5%), FBI (-$368 million, -3.4%), and ATF (-$189 million, -11.6%), relative to the FY2024 regular appropriation. The committee-reported bill would have also decreased funding available for grants under the State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance (-$265 million, -10.7%), Office on Violence Against Women (-$46 million, -6.5%), and Juvenile Justice Programs (-$50 million, -13.3%) accounts. The committee-reported bill would have increased funding for USMS (+$49 million, +1.3%), DEA (+$194 million, +7.6%), BOP (+$93 million, +1.1%), and the COPS account (+$5 million, +0.8%) relative to the FY2024 regular appropriation. The committee-reported bill recommended funding for many DOJ accounts at a level below the Administration's request. Exceptions included the DEA (+$74 million, +2.8%), BOP's Buildings and Facilities account (+$13 million, +4.9%), the COPS account (+$136 million, +25.5%), and the State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance account (+$201 million, +10.0%).

Overall funding for NASA in the committee-reported bill was higher than the FY2024 appropriation (+$304 million, +1.2%), and the committee proposed higher funding for many of NASA's accounts. However, the committee-reported bill proposed decreased funding for NASA's Exploration (-$48 million, -0.6%); Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Engagement (-$54 million, -37.8%); and Safety, Security, and Mission Services (-$85 million, -2.7%) accounts. Overall funding for NASA was lower than the Administration's request (-$205 million, -0.8%), but the committee recommended funding for several of NASA's accounts equal to the Administration's request, and proposed funding the Space Operations account above (+$84 million, +1.9%) the Administration's request. The committee-reported bill would have funded the Science (-$232 million, -3.1%), STEM Engagement (-$55 million, -38.0%), and Office of the Inspector General (-$3 million, -5.7%) accounts below the Administration's request.

The committee-reported bill would have increased funding for NSF (+$199 million, +2.2%) relative to the FY2024 appropriation, though the committee recommended lower funding for NSF's STEM Education account (-$172 million, -14.7%). The committee-reported bill would have funded all of NSF's accounts below the Administration's request.

The committee-reported bill would have funded all of the related agencies at a level below both the FY2024 appropriation and the Administration's request.

Senate Committee-Reported Bill

The Senate Committee on Appropriations marked up and reported its FY2025 CJS appropriations bill (S. 4795, S.Rept. 118-198) on July 25, 2024. The bill would have provided a total of $86.248 billion for the departments and agencies funded through the CJS appropriations bill. The amount in the committee-reported bill was $2.718 billion (+3.3%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation for CJS and $1.666 (-1.9%) less than the Administration's FY2025 request. The committee-reported bill included the following:

$11.545 billion for the Department of Commerce, which was $717 million (+6.6%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $80 million (+0.7%) more than the Administration's request;

$38.426 billion for DOJ, which was $906 million (+2.4%) more than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $1.163 billion (+2.9%) less than the Administration's request;

$34.994 billion for the science agencies, which was $1.049 billion (+3.1%) more than the FY2024 appropriation and $583 million (-1.6%) less than the Administration's request; and

$1.284 billion for the related agencies, which was $46 million (+3.7%) more than the FY2024 appropriation and equal to the Administration's request.

The Senate committee-reported bill would have funded most Commerce accounts at or above the FY2024 regular appropriation. The one exception was NIST's Scientific and Technical Research and Services account, which would have received $16 million (-1.5%) less than the FY2024 regular appropriation. The committee-reported bill would have funded many Commerce accounts at or below the Administration's request. However, the committee recommended funding above the Administration's request for NIST's Scientific and Technical Research and Services account (+$89 million, +9.2%); NIST's Industrial Technology Services account (+$13 million, +6.1%); NOAA's Operations, Research, and Facilities account (+$307 million, +7.0%); and NOAA's Pacific Coastal Salmon Recover account (+$5 million, +7.7%).

The Senate committee-reported bill would have funded most DOJ accounts at a level equal to or above the FY2024 regular appropriation. Two exceptions were proposed funding for the State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance account (-$326 million, -13.2%) and the COPS account (-$116 million, -17.5%). The committee recommended funding most of DOJ's accounts at or below the Administration's request; however, there were a few exceptions. The committee-reported bill would have increased funding relative to the Administration's request for the Antitrust Division (+$16 million, +5.6%), USMS's Federal Prisoner Detention account (+$100 million, +4.7%), FBI's Construction account (+$150 million, +242.3%), BOP's Building and Facilities account (+$30 million, +11.5%), the State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance account (+$140 million, +7.0%) and the COPS account (+$14 million, +2.6%). The committee's bill would have also increased the obligation cap on the Crime Victims Fund by $400 million (+26.7%) relative to the Administration's request.

The Senate committee-reported bill would have increased funding for NASA by $559 million (+2.2%) relative to the FY2024 regular appropriation. Recommended funding for many of NASA accounts would have been above the FY2024 enacted level, with the exception of the Exploration account (-$18 million, -0.2%) and the Safety, Security, and Mission Services account (-$85 million, -2.7%). The committee proposed funding NASA at a level above the Administration's request (+$50 million, +0.2%). It recommended funding most of NASA's accounts at a level equal to the Administration's request, with increases for the Science account (+$10 million, +0.1%), Exploration account (+$30 million, +0.4%), and Space Operations account (+$10 million, +0.2%).

The Senate committee-reported bill would have increased funding for NSF (+$490 million, +5.4%) relative to the FY2024 regular appropriation, with the committee recommending increased funding for all of NSF's accounts. It recommended funding NSF below the Administration's request (-$633 million, -9.1%). The committee-reported bill would have funded all of NSF's accounts at a level equal to or below the Administration's request.

The Senate Committee on Appropriations recommended funding for all of the related agencies at a level equal to or greater than the FY2024 regular appropriation. The committee-reported bill would have funded all of the related agencies at the level requested by the Administration.

The committee-reported bill included a total of $4.500 billion in emergency designated funding. Accounts with emergency funding, and the amount of such funding, were as follows:

NASA, Exploration, $1.212 billion;

NSF, Research and Related Activities, $973 million;

NOAA, Procurement, Acquisition, and Construction, $815 million;

ITA, Operations and Administration, $50 million;

BIS, Operations and Administration, $50 million; and

EDA, Economic Development Assistance Programs, $41 million.

FY2025 Enacted Appropriations

On March 15, 2025, President Trump signed into law the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (CR, P.L. 119-4), which provides FY2025 funding for most CJS accounts at the FY2024 enacted level (see Table 1). The CR reduced funding for the following:

NIST's Scientific and Technical Research and Services account by $223 million (-20.6%), which received a total of $1.080 billion in FY2024;

NIST's Construction of Research Facilities account by $80 million (-47.8%), which received a total of $168 million in FY2024;

NOAA's Operations, Research, and Facilities account by $139 million (-3.1%), which received a total of $5.548 billion in FY2024;

DOJ's State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance account by $475 million (-19.2%), which received a total of $2.475 billion in FY2024;

DOJ's COPS account by $247 million (-37.2%), which received a total of $665 million in FY2024; and

NASA's Safety, Security and Mission Service account by $37 million (-1.2%), which received a total of $3.129 billion in FY2024.

These reductions represent the FY2024 amount provided to these accounts for community funding projects/congressionally directed spending (also known as earmarks).¹²

The CR increases funding for two CJS accounts: DOJ's Justice Information Sharing Technology, from $30 million to $38 million, and USMS's Federal Prisoner Detention account, from $2.100 billion to $2.236 billion. The CR also increased the obligation cap on the Crime Victims Fund to $1.900 billion.

In total, the CR funds CJS at $82.501 billion for FY2025, which is $1.029 billion (-1.2%) less than the FY2024 enacted appropriation and $5.413 billion (-6.2%) less than the Administration's request. The CR includes the following:

$10.388 billion for the Department of Commerce, which is $440 million (-4.1%) less than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $1.077 billion (-9.4%) less than the Administration's request;

$36.967 billion for DOJ, which is $553 million (-1.5%) less than the FY2024 regular appropriation and $2.622 billion (-6.6%) less than the Administration's request;

$33.908 billion for the science agencies, which is $37 million (-0.1%) less than the FY2024 appropriation and $1.668 billion (-4.7%) less than the Administration's request; and

$1.237 billion for the related agencies, which is equal to the FY2024 appropriation and $46 million (-3.6%) less than the Administration's request.

In addition to the amounts provided in the CR, $3.540 billion in supplemental appropriations were provided for CJS agencies in P.L. 118-158 (see Table 2). There was also $1.400 billion in advance appropriations provided through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA, P.L. 117-58) and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (P.L. 117-159) that were available to CJS agencies for FY2025 (see Table 3).

Availability of Emergency Designated Funding for FY2025

The FY2024 CJS Appropriations Act (Division C of P.L. 118-42) provided $2.000 billion in appropriations designated by Congress and the President as being for an emergency requirement under Section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA). Per Section 1110 of the CR, funds provided for FY2025 in the CR that were designated by Congress as an emergency requirement in covered appropriations acts for FY2024 will retain such designations under the CR. Furthermore, Section 1110(b) of the CR establishes that "each amount" provided by the CR and designated by Congress as an emergency requirement will only become available for obligation if "the President subsequently so designates all such amounts and transmits such designations to the Congress." The inclusion of such language, or similar language, in appropriations acts making the availability of all emergency-designated funds in the measure contingent on the President subsequently designating all such amounts as an emergency requirement has been common in recent decades. On March 24, 2025, OMB submitted a memorandum to Congress designating as an emergency requirement only certain amounts provided by the CR, including only $1.441 billion of the $2.000 billion in FY2025 funding for CJS accounts that Congress had designated as an emergency requirement. The FY2025 amounts for CJS in Table 1 include all emergency designated funding, regardless of whether the Administration concurred with the designation.

Section 1111 of the CR establishes that the act does not provide funding for the purposes of the FY2024 earmarks, unless specified otherwise. The reduction to DOJ's State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance account also reflects the CR zeroing out $125 million in funding for reimbursing cities that hosted presidential nominating conventions for security-related expenses. In addition, funding for NASA's Safety, Security and Mission Service account under the CR is $20 million higher than what it would be if funding for CFP/CDS was subtracted from the FY2024 enacted appropriation for the account.
