## SEC. 401 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER COMPLIANCE FUND **[**[47 U.S.C. 1021](/us/usc/t47/s1021)**]** ###
(a)Establishment of Fund There is hereby established in the United States Treasury a fund to be known as the Department of Justice Telecommunications Carrier Compliance Fund (hereafter referred to as “the Fund”), which shall be available without fiscal year limitation to the Attorney General for making payments to telecommunications carriers, equipment manufacturers, and providers of telecommunications support services pursuant to section 109 of this Act. ###
(b)Deposits to the Fund Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any agency of the United States with law enforcement or intelligence responsibilities may deposit as offsetting collections to the Fund any unobligated balances that are available until expended, upon compliance with any Congressional3 notification requirements for reprogramming of funds applicable to the appropriation from which the deposit is to be made. 3So in law. Probably should be “congressional”. ###
(c)Termination ####
(1)The Attorney General may terminate the Fund at such time as the Attorney General determines that the Fund is no longer necessary. ####
(2)Any balance in the Fund at the time of its termination shall be deposited in the General Fund of the Treasury. ####
(3)A decision of the Attorney General to terminate the Fund shall not be subject to judicial review. ###
(d)Availability of Funds for Expenditure Funds shall not be available for obligation unless an implementation plan as set forth in subsection
(e)is submitted to each member of the Committees on the Judiciary and Appropriations of both the House of Representatives and the Senate and the Congress does not by law block or prevent the obligation of such funds. Such funds shall be treated as a reprogramming of funds under section 605 of the Department4 of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1997, and shall not be available for obligation or expenditure except in compliance with the procedures set forth in that section and this section. 4So in law. Probably should be “Departments”. ###
(e)Implementation Plan The implementation plan shall include: ####
(1)the law enforcement assistance capability requirements and an explanation of law enforcement's recommended interface; ####
(2)the proposed actual and maximum capacity requirements for the number of simultaneous law enforcement communications intercepts, pen registers, and trap and trace devices that authorized law enforcement agencies may seek to conduct, set forth on a county-by-county basis for wireline services and on a market service area basis for wireless services, and the historical baseline of electronic surveillance activity upon which such capacity requirements are based; ####
(3)a prioritized list of carrier equipment, facilities, and services deployed on or before January 1, 1995, to be modified by carriers at the request of law enforcement based on its investigative needs; ####
(4)a projected reimbursement plan that estimates the cost for the coming fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, based on the prioritization of law enforcement needs as outlined in 5(3), of modification by carriers of equipment, facilities and services, installed on or before January 1, 1995. 5Probably should have the word “paragraph” before “(3)”. ###
(f)Annual Report to the Congress The Attorney General shall submit to the Congress each year a report specifically detailing all deposits and expenditures made pursuant to6 this Act in each fiscal year. This report shall be submitted to each member of the Committees on the Judiciary and Appropriations of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, and to the Speaker and minority leader of the House of Representatives and to the majority and minority leaders of the Senate, no later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal year. 6Probably should read “to title I of”.
