Commerce, bureau by bureau — gross, fees, and net.

Every Commerce bureau's appropriation, from the CRS FY2027 CJS appropriations table. FY2025 enacted, FY2026, and the FY2027 request, $ in millions. The table shows gross spending authority, each bureau's own offsetting fee receipts, and the resulting net — because for the Patent and Trademark Office the gap is everything: ~$5B of gross authority, fully offset by user fees, nets to zero. Only the net enters the department total.

The gross/net gap is the fee-funding story: USPTO's FY27 gross authority of $5,160M is offset by $5,160M in patent/trademark fee receipts, so its net is $0; ITA carries a smaller $20M offset. The net column is what reconciles to the published subtotal.
