This appropriation provides funds for audit and investigative
functions to identify and recommend corrective actions on management and
administrative deficiencies that create the conditions for existing or
potential instances of fraud, waste, and mismanagement. Additional funds
for audit and investigative activities associated with the Superfund
Trust Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund are
appropriated under those accounts and transferred to the Inspector
General account to allow for proper accounting. Among the audit
functions, contract audits review the propriety and allowability of
costs claimed or charged to EPA by prime or subcontractors. The
Inspector General also provides professional review and recommendations
concerning agency contracting practices, administration and changes
through all phases of the procurement process. Internal and performance
audits review and evaluate all facets of Agency programs and operations,
including the adequacy of management systems and controls. Financial
audits review the soundness and accuracy of the financial accounting and
reporting systems. Grant audits focus on the effectiveness and propriety
of costs of individual projects. The investigations function provides
for the detection and investigation of improper and illegal activities
involving programs, personnel and operations, including grantees and
contractors. The Inspector General also works with Agency management to
promote economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and the prevention of fraud
and abuse.

====================================
Congress restructured EPA's accounts beginning in 1996. The 1996 and
1997 columns reflect this new structure, which combines all resources
from the Research and Development (R&D) account, program office lab
costs from the Abatement, Control and Compliance account, and payroll
and travel costs for the Office of Research and Development and for the
program office labs from the Program and Research Operations account. In
1997 Superfund research costs are appropriated in the Hazardous
Substance Superfund appropriation and transferred to this account to
allow for proper accounting. The 1995 column represents the previous
account structure and reflects only the old R&D account.
This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology,
research and development activities including laboratory and center
supplies, certain operating expenses (including activities under the
Working Capital Fund, contracts), grants, intergovernmental agreements,
and purchases of scientific equipment. These activities provide the
scientific and technology basis for EPA's regulatory actions.
Air.--Science and technology activities include research on: toxic
air pollutants and their effects; criteria air pollutants to develop the
basis for the national ambient air quality standards; motor vehicle
emissions; addressing the human health risks associated with indoor air
quality; the impacts of global climate change; and stratospheric ozone
depletion and its effects. Includes program labs for emission
measurement and vehicle emission standards. This program also conducts
motor vehicle testing, for which user fees are collected.
Water Quality.--Science and technology will provide the scientific
information and risk management approaches to help protect coastal and
marine waters, lakes and rivers, wetlands, and related ecosystems.
Programs evaluate contaminated sediment, aquatic ecocriteria and non-
point sources of pollution.
Drinking Water.--Science and technology includes evaluating the
health effects of drinking water contaminants and methods to prevent or
reduce these contaminants in a cost-effective manner. Primary emphasis
is focused on contaminants as disinfectant and disinfection by-products
and biological contaminants such as cryptosporidium, virus and selected
bacteria. Includes a program lab that supports development and
implementation of drinking water regulations.
Hazardous Waste.--Science and technology includes providing
hazardous waste measurement methods and protocols, assessing the risk
from exposure to hazardous wastes, conducting research on surface
cleanup, bioremediation, pollution prevention, and ground water, and
developing the necessary data to revise and implement treatment, storage
and disposal standards and regulations.
Pesticides.--Science and technology activities will support the
pesticides program through efforts that include health and environmental
exposure studies, development of exposure protocols, and health and
environmental review of new chemicals and the impacts of chemicals on
sensitive sub-populations. Includes program labs that study
environmental and analytical chemistry.
Radiation.--Program laboratories that support the environmental
radiation ambient monitoring system and radon analytical and assessment
services.
Multimedia.--Science and technology provide cross program support
for ecosystems protection (including environmental monitoring and
assessment), human exposure, risk assessment methods, health effects,
pollution prevention, heavy metals, and innovative technologies
(including the Environmental Technology and Common Sense Initiatives).
Exploratory research grants and centers, fellowships, technology
transfer, quality assurance and procurement of laboratory equipment
supplies and other operating expenses are also included. Includes a
program center which is the investigative and technical support for
EPA's enforcement program.
Toxic Substances.--Activities support the development of scientific
and technological methods to understand, predict and manage the entry
and movement of chemicals in commerce and into the environment, and to
determine the effects of these chemicals on human health and the
environment. These activities include biotechnology research.
Management and Support.--Provides executive direction, program
planning, resource and facilities management.

====================================
Congress restructured EPA's accounts beginning in 1996. The 1996 and
1997 columns reflect this new structure, which combines all Program and
Research Operations payroll and travel funds not moved to the new
Science and Technology account with Abatement Control and Compliance
funds, minus those state grants moved to the new State and Tribal
Assistance Grants account. The Environmental Programs and Management
1995 column represents the previous account structure and reflects only
the Abatement Control and Compliance account.
This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts,
grants, and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement, control, and
compliance activities and administrative activities of the operating
programs, including activities under the Working Capital Fund.
Air.--The air program sets standards for: ambient air quality;
emissions of hazardous and criteria air pollutants and acid deposition
precursors from stationary sources; motor vehicle emissions; prevention
of significant deterioration of air quality; and protection of the
stratospheric ozone layer. EPA will also be fulfilling its role in the
President's National Action Plan for Climate Change.
Water Quality.--The water quality program has as its goal the
protection and restoration of the Nation's waters. The program relies on
a partnership between EPA and the States to meet the goals of the Act.
The program encompasses the following major activities: (1) developing
water quality standards; (2) establishing technology-based effluent
limits for industrial discharges; (3) monitoring water quality and
developing tools to assess programs and target efforts; (4) establishing
a more fair, flexible and effective Federal Wetlands program to enhance
State and local wetlands protection; (5) risk-based targeting of
abatement activities to protect important habitats and watersheds
through geographic initiatives; (6) issuing and enforcing requirements
of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for
industrial and municipal sources, for which user fees will be collected
for all EPA issued permits; (7) managing the municipal wastewater
facilities completion/closeout of construction grants, and managing the
State Revolving Fund programs; and, (8) managing water pollution control
related state grants under sections 104(b)(3), 106, and 319 of the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
Drinking Water.--The safe drinking water program protects the
Nation's drinking water supplies from contaminants. This involves: (1)
setting national drinking water standards that protect human health; (2)
assisting States and Indian tribes to implement, or directly
implementing these regulatory programs; (3) targeting support for small
drinking water systems; and (4) directing the Agency's activities to
manage and improve ground water quality with emphasis on ground water
protection.
Hazardous Waste.--The hazardous waste program is designed to ensure
that hazardous wastes are managed in a manner that protects public
health and the environment. The
[[Page 877]]
program emphasizes delegation of authority to the States, permitting of
operating and closed facilities, enforcement of hazardous waste
regulations, and corrective action. State assumption of hazardous waste
authorities will be encouraged through regulations and guidance.
Pesticides.--EPA is responsible for protecting public health and the
environment from unreasonable pesticide risks, taking into account the
economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits from pesticide
use. Major activities include: (1) review and registration of pesticide
products; (2) developing and processing registration standards; (3)
reregistration of pesticides as required by the 1988 amendments to the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act; and, (4) developing
guidelines to ensure the protection of pesticide workers, as well as
assisting in the development of State plans for pesticide use that will
protect ground water and endangered species.
Radiation.--The radiation program develops and promulgates
standards, regulations, and guidelines to reduce exposure from radiation
sources. EPA will assess risks associated with high levels of naturally
occurring radon, certify radon remediation contractors (for which a user
fee will be collected), and provide technical assistance and guidance to
States on radon. Also, the Agency will carry out its responsibilities
under the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Land Withdrawal and the Energy
Policy Acts.
Multimedia.--The multimedia program is composed of several
activities that cut across media programs. This involves: (1) all
technical and legal aspects of the Agency's enforcement efforts,
including compliance assistance, inspections, investigations and
judicial review; (2) review of environmental impact statements (EIS) on
actions taken by Federal agencies; (3) Federal agencies' compliance with
statutes and regulations for pollution control; (4) the Regional funding
of complex multimedia projects with significant State and local concerns
due to the high risk to human health and ecosystems; and (5) the
Agency's support to increase the capability of native Indian tribes to
manage environmental programs.
Toxic Substances.--The toxic substances program is responsible for
protecting human health and the environment from unreasonable risks
posed by chemicals. The program places a balanced emphasis on evaluation
and control of new and existing chemicals and the reduction of exposure
through pollution prevention. Nonregulatory approaches to obtain
compliance are used where appropriate. The program has developed a
comprehensive lead control strategy to examine the long-term efficacy of
lead abatement, and to implement the requirements of Title X of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. The Program also provides
technical assistance to implement various requirements of Title III of
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 relating to
chemical releases, and the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990.
Management and Support.--Funds policy studies in the management and
support program.

Congress restructured EPA's accounts beginning in 1996. The 1996 and
1997 columns reflect this new structure, which combines those State
grants moved from the Abatement, Control and Compliance account with the
Water Infrastructure/State Revolving Fund account. The State and Tribal
Assistance Grants 1995 column represents the previous account structure
and reflects only the Water Infrastructure/State Revolving Fund account.
The 1997 appropriation provides the EPA Administrator with the
authority to allow States and Indian tribes to consolidate numerous
existing media-specific (e.g., air, water) or multimedia grants into one
or more Performance Partnership grants.
The Administrator is also provided with authority to allow States,
in effect, to consolidate the Clean Water and Drinking Water State
Revolving Funds into a Performance Partnership.
This appropriation provides funds for capitalization grants to
States for Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs), the purpose of
which is to make low interest loans to communities to construct
municipal wastewater treatment infrastructure. Since 1989, the Federal
government has invested approximately $11.5 billion in grants to help
capitalize the 51 State revolving funds. With required State match,
additional State contributions, and funds from program leveraging, funds
available for loans total approximately $16.3 billion.
In support of the U.S.-Mexico Border Environmental Plan, funds are
provided to address the serious environmental and human health problems
associated with untreated industrial and municipal sewage along the
U.S.-Mexico Border, including the impoverished colonias in Texas. Funds
are also provided to help address the significant wastewater needs of
Alaska Native Villages and for U.S. cities that are facing both
exceptionally high capital needs and user charges.
Funds are provided, upon enactment of authorizing legislation, for
capitalization grants to new Drinking Water State Revolving Funds for
the purpose of making low interest loans to help municipalities comply
with the Safe Drinking Water Act. Once the Drinking Water State
Revolving Fund program is authorized, these resources will allow States
to fund both construction of needed infrastructure improvements for
drinking water systems and the restructuring of small systems (including
consolidation) to improve compliance.

Intragovernmental fund:
Working Capital Fund
There is hereby established in the Treasury a franchise fund pilot
to be known as the ``Working Capital Fund,'' as authorized by section
[[Page 882]]
403 of Public Law 103-356, to be available as provided in such section
for expenses and equipment necessary for the maintenance and operation
of such administrative services as the Administrator determines may be
performed more advantageously as central services: Provided, That any
inventories, equipment, and other assets pertaining to the services to
be provided by such fund, either on hand or on order, less the related
liabilities or unpaid obligations, and any appropriations made hereafter
for the purpose of providing capital, shall be used to capitalize such
fund: Provided further, That such fund shall be paid in advance from
funds available to the Agency and other Federal agencies for which such
centralized services are performed, at rates which will return in full
all expenses of operation, including accrued leave, depreciation of fund
plant and equipment, amortization of automated data processing (ADP)
software and systems (either acquired or donated), and an amount
necessary to maintain a reasonable operating reserve, as determined by
the Administrator: Provided further, That such fund shall provide
services on a competitive basis: Provided further, That an amount not to
exceed four percent of the total annual income to such fund may be
retained in the fund for fiscal year 1997 and each fiscal year
thereafter, to remain available until expended, to be used for the
acquisition of capital equipment and for the improvement and
implementation of Agency financial management, ADP, and other support
systems: Provided further, That no later than thirty days after the end
of each fiscal year amounts in excess of this reserve limitation shall
be transferred to the Treasury: Provided further, That such franchise
fund pilot shall terminate pursuant to section 403(f) of Public Law 103-
356.

EPA's Working Capital Fund (WCF) was chosen as a pilot franchise
fund under P.L. 103-356, the Government Management and Reform Act of
1994. EPA's WCF is a revolving fund used to supply common administrative
services on a fee-for-service basis. As a result, the funding for the
WCF will consist of reimbursements from other EPA accounts.
Activities that will be included in the WCF in 1997 are the National
Data Processing Division's computer operations at Research Triangle
Park, NC, and Agency postage. Computer operations include data
processing and telecommunications services and are classified into five
cost centers: Enterprise Computing Services, Network Services, Desktop
Services, Technical Consulting Services and Scientific Computing
Services. Agency postage includes all routine, day-to-day U.S. postal
services.
The franchise fund concept is intended to increase competition for
government administrative services resulting in lower costs and higher
quality.

This appropriation provides funds for the implementation of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities under the Working Capital
Fund. This Act provides authority for responding to and cleaning up
hazardous substance emergencies and abandoned, uncontrolled hazardous
waste sites.
Financial responsibility for the program is shared by the Federal
and State governments as well as industry. EPA will allocate funds from
its appropriation to other Federal agencies to carry out the Act.
Risks to public health and the environment at uncontrolled hazardous
waste sites qualifying for EPA's National Priorities List (NPL) are
reduced and addressed through a process involving site assessment and
analysis, and the design and implementation of cleanup remedies.
Throughout this process, cleanup activities may also be supported by
shorter-term removal actions to reduce immediate risks. Removal actions
may include removing contaminated material from the site, providing an
alternative water supply to people living nearby, and installing
security measures. NPL cleanups and removals are conducted and financed
by EPA, private parties, or other Federal agencies.
Through 1995, construction of cleanup remedies had been completed at
a total of 346 NPL sites and 4,271 removal actions had been taken at
3,245 sites.

The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund, authorized
by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, as amended
by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, provides funds for
responding to releases from leaking underground petroleum tanks,
including activities under the Working Capital Fund. The Trust Fund is
financed by a 0.1 cent a gallon tax on motor fuels, that became
effective January 1, 1987.
Funds are allocated to the States through cooperative agreements to
clean up those sites posing the greatest threat to human health and
environment. Funds are also used for grants to non-state entities,
including Indian Tribes, under section 8001 of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act. EPA supports cleanup and enforcement programs which
are implemented by the States.
Risks from releases at leaking underground petroleum tanks are
reduced and addressed by cleanup actions. To measure performance, the
LUST program tracks the number of cleanups completed, which includes all
sites where the State determines risks have been addressed through
completed corrective actions. The complexity of cleanups is increasing
due to issues such as contaminated groundwater; therefore, cleanups will
take longer and the number of cleanups completed will slow in the near
future. Cleanups are conducted by the State or the responsible party.
LUST Trust Fund dollars can be used for State-lead cleanups and for
State oversight of responsible party cleanups.
