1/ This appropriation is used to fund the Department's efforts to comply with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration's requirements for more efficient spectrum use ("narrowbanding") -- VHF narrowband compliance by 2005; UHF narrowband compliance by 2008.  To meet these requirements the land mobile radio tactical communications programs of the Departments's law enforcement components must be replaced with narrowband compliant technology.

The President's 2004 budget requested a 2 percent average pay raise for federal civilian workers in 2004.  However, the FY 2004 Consolidated Appropriations Act includes language granting civilian federal employees a 4.1 percent average pay raise in 2004.  The FY 2005 budget request reflects the higher pay raise.  DOJ proposes to offset the additional $7,000 in pay costs in the Narrowband account by streamlining the Narrowband administrative process, resulting in lower support costs.
