* Note that the FY 2008 budget proposes a rescission against balances available in all OJP accounts of $87.5 million. For purposes of display only, the request assumes that $10 million in balances from Juvenile Justice be used to pay for the proposed rescission, and $77.5 million in balances from the State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance account will be used to pay for the remainder. However, the distribution of the $87.5 million is subject to the actual recovery level available in all OJP accounts. The proposed appropriations language allows for the rescission to come from the balances of any OJP program appropriated under the OJP program header in the appropriations act.

Major Program Proposals: 2007
Estimate		 2008
Request
 
1. Violent Crime Reduction Partnership Initiative Program $ 0 $ 200,000
    [180,000]
This program will support multi-jurisdictional task forces to help communities that have experienced an increase in violent crime. This program will be administered as a competitive, discretionary grant, which will require communities to establish partnerships with local U.S. Attorneys and federal law enforcement agencies or federal law enforcement task forces in order to obtain maximum leverage of federal resources over local crime problems. This initiative will disrupt criminal gang, firearm and drug activities, particularly those with a multi-jurisidictional dimension. The Department will use this funding to address the local up-ticks in crime it detects through its ongoing research project.
The number in brackets denotes the amount of programmatic funding available after administrative funding is subtracted.		    
 
2. Byrne Public Safety and Protection Program $ 0 $ 350,000
    [311,685]
This new initiative will replace several smaller grant programs, including Project Safe Neighborhoods, drug courts, the cannabis eradication program, the cleanup of methamphetamine labs, DNA backlog grants, and the re-entry program, with a single, flexible, competitive grant program that incorporates their purpose areas.
