Weapons activities.--This program includes the following activities:
Stockpile Stewardship.--This activity provides for the research,
development, and engineering capabilities to support the safety and
reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile, without underground
nuclear testing, through a science-based Stockpile Stewardship
program. The core stewardship program supports Stockpile Stewardship
by maintaining core competencies at the weapons laboratories, and
through research on enhanced safety and reliability of the enduring
stockpile, dismantlement techniques, waste minimization, and
pollution prevention. In addition, the core stewardship program
maintains the capability to execute an underground nuclear test if
directed by the President. Research and development on inertial
confinement fusion is also included and the transfer of nonsensitive
Defense Programs' funded technology to the private sector is
promoted. The program also supports facility construction and
maintenance for the nuclear weapons laboratories and the Nevada Test
Site.
Stockpile Management.--This activity provides for the
maintenance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, capabilities to
modify or produce new weapons if required, lifetime surveillance of
the stockpile, and retirement and disposal of weapons and weapon
components. The program supports facility construction and
maintenance for the nuclear weapons production plants. This program
also supports the consolidation of nonnuclear manufacturing
activities. The Stockpile Management program also supports
activities that include maintenance of technical and operational
capabilities for responding to nuclear/radiological accidents and
incidents worldwide. A major initiative under the Stockpile
Management program is the dual-track strategy for a new tritium
source to provide tritium for the Nation's enduring nuclear weapons
stockpile. This program also provides for nuclear materials
surveillance and technical support activities including safety and
safeguards/security oversight activities for nuclear materials
located at Defense Program sites and former Defense Program
facilities.
Weapons Program Direction.--This program provides personnel and
contractual services for the Federal management, direction, and the
administration of selected Defense Programs' missions. The
Secretary's streamlining goals to reduce total staffing levels,
improve supervisor/employee ratios, and reduce the number of
organizational components are met within this program.

Environmental Management.--This program encompasses the following
defense-related activities:

The Office of Environmental Management must safely manage the
generation, handling, treatment, storage, transportation and disposal of
DOE nuclear and hazardous waste. The 1997 budget request will support
the following major program areas:
Environmental Restoration.--Provides for assessments,
characterization, remediation, and decontamination and
decommissioning at contaminated DOE facilities and sites. Various
amounts and types of waste have accumulated at these facilities and
sites as a result of past departmental activities spanning nearly
five decades.
Waste Management.--Provides for the safe, effective and
efficient management of wastes generated by defense activities,
through minimization, treatment, storage or disposal of various
waste types including radioactive, hazardous, mixed or sanitary
wastes in compliance with applicable local, State, and Federal
requirements and internal Department of Energy requirements.
Technology Development.--Provides for comprehensive applied
research, development demonstration, testing and evaluation
activities which will develop and apply more effective technologies
for meeting the Department of Energy's environmental management
goals.
Environmental Science Program.--Provides for the development of
a long-term basic research program for environmental problems so
that breakthrough approaches will lead to significantly reduced
cleanup costs and risks to workers and the public; and to bridge the
gap between broad fundamental research that has wide-ranging
applicability such

[[Page 435]]
as that performed in DOE's Office of Energy Research, and the needs-
driven technology development that is conducted in EM's Office of
Technology Development.
Nuclear Material and Facility Stabilization.--Directs the
stabilization of surplus nuclear materials, the preparation of
surplus nuclear materials for disposition, and the deactivation of
surplus facilities.
Site Operations.--Provides Headquarters policy direction for
landlord planning and budgeting including reducing site
infrastructure costs and managing workforce restructuring. Further,
the Office of Site Operations manages the national Transportation
Program and the national Pollution Prevention Program and provides
leadership for crosscutting issues raised by the field and/or
Headquarters, as well as serving as an advocate for the field at
Headquarters.
Policy and Management.--Provides funding for crosscutting
functions such as public accountability, finance, safety and health,
and strategic planning.
EM Program Direction.--Provides salaries and benefits and other
contractual support costs for full-time equivalents at Headquarters
and in the field which support the Environmental Management Program.
EM Privatization.--Provides up-front funding for DOE support of
privatization of various DOE environmental management projects, such
as one project to support commercial demonstrations of nuclear waste
treatment facilities. These projects will demonstrate the financial
and technical feasibility of private sector construction and
operation of radioactive waste treatment facilities, through the use
of commercial capital and technology in return for service fees to
be paid by DOE for processing nuclear waste. This process is
estimated to save 25% in life cycle costs over the traditional
approach of designing, constructing and operating a government-owned
facility. In addition, $182 million in budget authority is being
requested as part of a Government-wide general provision for up-
front funding of other privatization efforts. This funding is part
of a Government-wide effort to improve planning and budgeting for
projects of this type.
The EM program has made significant progress in establishing a
system for measuring and improving performance. The program has
developed a strategic plan with six key objectives: (1) manage and
eliminate urgent risks and threats in the DOE system; (2) provide a
safe workplace; (3) change system to bring it into managerial and
financial control; (4) increase outcome orientation; (5) focus the
technology development program on DOE's major environmental
challenges; (6) develop strong partnerships between DOE and its
stakeholders.
As an integral part of reinventing DOE, the Environmental
Management (EM) program has begun implementing changes in order to
contribute $4.4 billion in outlay savings over a five-year period,
beginning in FY 1996. The savings commitment will require
substantial changes in the way the EM program is run. These savings
will be achieved through:
Realizing significant increases in productivity and
efficiency.
Working closely with EPA and State regulators to
prioritize budgets at each site.
Reauthorizing Superfund, particularly the land-use
provisions in the Administration's Superfund proposal.

Other defense activities.--This program includes the following
activities:

Verification and Control Technology.--This activity supports the
development and execution of U.S. national security and foreign
policy in the areas of treaty verification and implementation,
intelligence, arms control and nonproliferation. Of the funds
requested, $95M is for assistance to nations of the former Soviet
Union for protection, control and accounting of nuclear materials.
This key nonproliferation program is among the Administration's
highest priorities.
Nuclear Safeguards and Security.--This activity provides for the
development of measures to assure adequate and effective protection
of nuclear weapons, nuclear materials, and facilities against theft,
sabotage, espionage, and terrorist activity. Also included is the
program which protects classified and unclassified sensitive
information critical to the national security.
Security Investigations.--This activity ensures that the common
defense and the security of the United States will not be endangered
by the granting of security clearances for personnel who, in the
performance of their official duties, must have access to restricted
data, national security information or special nuclear material, or
who occupy a designated critical sensitive position.
Emergency Management.--This activity provides a single point of
contact and control for all Departmental emergency management and
threat assessment related activities and ensures an integrated
Departmental response to emergencies affecting Departmental
operations and activities or requiring Departmental assistance.
Nonproliferation and National Security Program Direction.--This
program provides for the personnel and contractual services for all
Federal management, direction, and administration required to
carryout the Nonproliferation and National Security programs'
missions.
Naval Reactors.--This program performs the design, development,
and testing necessary to provide the Navy with safe, militarily
effective nuclear propulsion plants in keeping with the Nation's
defense requirements. In 1994, the nuclear powered fleet steamed its
100 millionth mile on nuclear power employing high standards of
safety which ensured the protection of the public and the
environment. During 1997, the program expects to reach 4,700
cumulative reactor-years of safe operation, and will continue to
support and improve operating reactors and plant components to
further this record. In addition, the program will continue to
develop nuclear reactor plant components/systems for the Navy's new
attack submarine, procure equipment needs for development and
testing activities, and maintain or shutdown aging facilities as
appropriate. In 1997, inactivation will continue on six of the
program's eight land based prototypes which have been or will be
shut down.
Environment, safety and health (Defense).--The Office of
Environment, Safety and Health is a corporate resource that provides
Departmental leadership and management to protect the workers,
public, and environment. This is demonstrated by conducting
independent oversight of the Department's environment, safety,
health, and safeguards and security programs; and by providing
technical assistance, resources, and information sharing. The
programs in the Other Defense Activities are Oversight, Health
Studies, and Program Direction. The goal of these programs is to
improve the performance and effectiveness of the Department's
workforce and contractor employees in matters related to
environment, safety, health, and safeguards and security through:
Worker and Community Transition.--In accordance with Section
3161 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 1993, DOE is
responsible for mitigating the impact on workers and communities
that results from reductions in the workforce at defense nuclear
facilities. This program provides for the development and
implementation of plans to provide options to assist workers
affected by work force restructuring including preference in hiring,
outplacement assistance, relocation assistance, and incentives for
early retirement or separation. These plans also provide impact
assistance to local communities for economic development.
Fissile Materials Disposition.--The Fissile Materials
Disposition Program is responsible for the Department's technical
and management activities to provide for the safe, secure,
environmentally sound future storage of all weapons-usable fissile
materials and the disposition of fissile materials declared surplus
to national defense needs. Near term efforts involve designing and
demonstrating an integrated system to disassemble plutonium weapons
components and convert the plutonium to stable, inspectable forms
suitable for long-term storage and disposition. In addition, the
Program directs research and development and technical
demonstrations of plutonium disposition technologies and the design
phase for site-specific long-term storage configurations involving a
coordinated approach to the Department's inventory of weapons-usable
fissile materials. Program efforts also include technical and
industrial activities associated with the conversion of surplus
weapons-usable highly enriched uranium to non-weapons usable low
enriched uranium suitable for use in commercial power reactors.

High energy physics.--This research program focuses on gaining
insights into the fundamental constituents of matter, the fundamental
forces in nature, and the transformations between matter and energy at
the most elementary level. The program encompasses both experimental and
theoretical particle physics research and related advanced accelerator
and detector technology R&D. The primary mode of experi

[[Page 438]]
mental research involves the study of collisions of energetic particles
using large particle accelerators or colliding beam facilities.

Research in 1997 will continue to focus on studies of known
fundamental particle constituents, the search for new particle
constituents, and the pursuit of a unified description of the four
fundamental forces in nature.

In addition to contributing to breakthrough discoveries such as the
existence of the top quark, high energy physics research enhances
national economic competitiveness. State-of-the-art technology developed
for accelerators and detectors contribute to progress in fields such as
fast electronics, high-speed computing, superconducting magnet
technology, and high-power radio frequency devices. High energy physics
research also continues to make major contributions to accelerator
technology and provides the expertise necessary for the expansion of
such technology into fields such as medical diagnostics, and applied
research using synchrotron light sources.

The 1997 high energy physics budget request includes a $13.2 million
increase over the 1996 enacted level. The proposed increase will support
the continued operation of all three of the Department's major high
energy physics facilities: the Tevatron, the Stanford Linear Collider
(SLC), and the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS). In addition,
increases are provided for R&D related to U.S. participation in the
Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project at CERN and fabrication of a new
detector for the new B-Factory project at SLAC. The proposed increase is
consistent with the recommendations of the High Energy Physics Advisory
Panel expert subpanel that advised the Department on the appropriate
future path for the Department's high energy physics program in the wake
of the cancellation of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) project
in 1993.

The high energy physics R&D request provides funding for advanced
accelerator and detector R&D that is necessary for next-generation high
energy particle accelerators. The high energy physics construction
request provides for continuation of the new Main Injector ring at the
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the B-Factory upgrade at the
Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).

A total of $205 million in budget authority is being requested for
the continued construction of the Main Injector ring and the B-Factory
projects. Of this amount, $133 million is being requested as a part of
this appropriation for the obligations to be incurred for the projects
in 1997. An additional $72 million in budget authority is being
requested as part of a Government-wide general provision in order to
fully fund the completion of these projects. This additional amount is
part of a Government-wide effort to improve planning and budgeting for
the acquisition of fixed assets.

Superconducting Super Collider.--The Department will continue the
orderly termination of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) in 1997,
as directed by Congress in the 1994 Energy and Water Development
Appropriations Act. No additional funding for such activities is
requested in 1997.

Nuclear Physics.--The goal of the nuclear physics program is to
understand the interactions and structure of atomic nuclei and to
investigate fundamental particles and forces of nature as manifested in
nuclear matter. In 1997, the program will continue to focus on the role
of quarks in the composition and interactions of nuclei, the application
of nuclear physics methods to astrophysical problems, the properties of
neutrinos, and the mechanisms by which colliding nuclei exchange mass,
energy, and angular momentum.

The nuclear physics program supports and provides experimental
equipment to qualified scientists and research groups conducting
experiments at nuclear physics accelerator facilities. In addition,
nuclear physics accelerators generate many of the radioisotopes used for
medical diagnosis and treatments; support several cooperative programs
in biomedical research and atomic physics; and provide training
opportunities for health physicists concerned with radiation-effects on
humans.

The CEBAF experimental program began in FY 1996 and will continue in
FY 1997 with the conduct of research in all three experimental halls.
Experimental operations have also been initiated at the Radioactive Ion
Beam facility in Oak Ridge National Laboratory and will continue in FY
1997. Operation of ATLAS (BNL), TAGS (BNL), and the 88-inch cyclotron
(LBNL) will be supported, as will the operation of the university-based
accelerator laboratories.

A total of $207 million in budget authority is being requested for
the continued construction of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)
at Brookhaven at the revised baseline cost and schedule. Of this amount,
$76 million is being requested as a part of this appropriation for the
obligations to be incurred for the project in 1997. An additional $131
million in budget authority is being requested as part of a Government-
wide general provision in order to fully fund this project. This
additional amount is part of a Government-wide effort to improve
planning and budgeting for the acquisition of fixed assets.

General science program direction.--Provides direction, management,
and administrative support to high energy and nuclear physics programs
within general science.

The purpose of energy supply research and development activities is
to develop new energy technologies and improve existing energy
technologies. Included in this mission are basic and applied research
and targeted programs in technology development and market deployment.

This account provides funds for operating expenses, capital
equipment and construction projects for the advancement of the various
energy technologies under examination in the energy supply, research and
development mission.

Solar and renewable energy technology.--A strong, balanced program
is proposed for FY 1997 that will contribute toward strengthening the
Nation's energy security, enhancing global sales of U.S. energy
products, and increasing industrial competitiveness and federal
technology transfer. Program activities range from basic cost-shared
research in universities and national laboratories to applied research,
development, and demonstration in full partnership with private sector
manufacturers.

The FY 1997 program continues to work in partnership with industry
to develop and promote the use of solar energy. Specific goals or
activities of solar energy programs include: (1) in photovoltaics: an
industry-driven effort in research, production, engineering, and market
development; (2) in solar buildings: a focus on cooperative industry and
utility efforts to effectively use advanced solar technology for water
heating; (3) in solar thermal: lowering the operating costs of existing
trough systems and developing dish/Stirling and central receiver systems
for commercial electric power generation; (4) in wind energy: developing
and testing utility-grade wind turbines in collaboration with utilities
and industry; and (5) in biofuels: continued R&D to achieve further
reductions in biomass energy costs, and the biochemical conversion of
biomass and feedstock development. In addition to these specific
technologies, the FY 1997 Budget Request calls for taking advantage of
the synergies between emerging biomass power technologies and new
biomass liquid fuel technologies. These developments raise the prospect
of profitable ``energy crop'' farming by rural Americans early in the
next century, accompanied by improved rural economic development,
increased environmental protection in both urban and rural areas, and
new global market opportunities for power technology providers.

The Solar Energy program also includes ongoing support for: (1) the
interagency Committee on Renewable Commerce and Trade (CORECT), (2)
commercialization and demonstration joint ventures, and (3) renewable
energy, outreach information, and technical assistance programs.

The Geothermal Energy program supports work with industry and the
utility sector to reduce the life-cycle cost of producing electricity
with geothermal resources. The Hydropower program addresses the primary
environmental mitigation issues associated with licensing and sustaining
hydropower production. The Electric Energy Systems program includes
studies on health effects of electric and magnetic fields, and
development of materials and devices employing advanced high temperature
superconducting technology. Energy Storage is focused on battery energy
storage for use by utilities. Production and storage of hydrogen is also
supported at increased levels over FY 1996.

In-house energy management.--This program had funded energy
conservation retrofit projects at Department facilities. These projects
were designed to improve the efficiency of DOE energy use and set an
example for other Federal agencies and the private sector. For FY 1997,
the program will focus on energy audits and economic analyses to support
and encourage private sector third-party financing of improvements.

Nuclear fission.--In 1997 the Civilian Reactor Development program
places emphasis on the Light Water Reactor (LWR) program to ensure that
nuclear energy continues to make a vital contribution to national energy
security. This program

[[Page 440]]
will focus on making standardized advanced light water reactors
available to assist in meeting the increased electrical capacity needs
of the first decade of the next century. The program includes
institutional and regulatory reform and supporting technology efforts.
Cooperative programs with industry have the objective of ensuring that
the designs developed are those of interest to utilities. The Advanced
Radioisotope Power Systems program will continue to develop and produce
nuclear power systems for use in U.S. space missions and in support of
military and civilian applications. The University Nuclear Science and
Reactor Support program will continue to provide educational and
research grants to maintain a stable human resource base in the nuclear
sciences.

In cooperation with the Department of State and the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, the Department is committed to improving the
safety of nuclear power plants in Russia and the Ukraine. The focus of
this activity is the comprehensive improvement in: safety culture, power
plant operation and physical condition, and supporting infrastructure.
This commitment is an element of the Administration's policy of
supporting former Soviet Nations as they move toward market economies,
and will improve U.S. competitiveness. The Nuclear Security/Russian
Production Reactor Shutdown program will ensure compliance with the
U.S.-Russian 1994 agreement to cease production of weapons grade
plutonium; support U.S. non-proliferation policies; address safety and
nonproliferation concerns related to breeder reactors in countries of
the former Soviet Union; and promote policies to reduce the need for
reprocessing of nuclear fuel. The Isotope support decision unit will
ensure adequate supplies of isotopes which are in the National interest.

Environment, safety and health.--The Office of Environment, Safety
and Health is a corporate resource that fosters Departmental excellence
through innovative leadership in the protection of workers, the public,
and the environment. This commitment to excellence will be demonstrated
by striving for continuous improvement in developing meaningful programs
and policies; conducting independent oversight of environment, safety,
health and security performance; and providing technical assistance,
resources and information sharing.

The 1997 budget request for the Office of Environment, Safety and
Health reflects these priorities. It is important to note that the
budget request for the Office of Environment, Safety and Health programs
is contained in two appropriations as follows:
Energy Supply Research and Development.--Technical Assistance,
Policy, National Environmental Policy Act program, Radiation Effects
Research Foundation, Management and Administration, and Program
Direction.
Other Defense Activities.--Oversight, Health Studies and Program
Direction.

1997 Goals for the Office of Environment, Safety and Health are:
Establish a standardized corporate independent
oversight process within the Office of Environment, Safety and
Health that is coordinated with field and program offices and
provides a credible process for appraising the effectiveness of
environment, safety, health, and safeguards and security programs.
Continue the quality, timely, efficient, and effective
environment, safety and health technical assistance program that
meets priority needs with higher customer satisfaction.
Continue an effective system of policies, requirements,
guidance and technical standards that significantly increase
protection of the environment and enhances public and worker safety
and health.
Establish an integrated, state-of-the-art information
management program that will: deliver information to the right
customers in the right form at the right time; improve
communications of lessons learned; and enhance environment, safety
and health performance.
Continue process that encourages managers to use the
National Environmental Policy Act in decision-making, builds public
trust, and minimizes the cost and time for document preparation and
review with no reduction in quality.
Implement a Department-wide business and budget
planning process that: identifies environment, safety, and health
vulnerabilities and reduces vulnerabilities; enables effective line
program allocation of environment, safety, and health resources.

Scientific and Engineering Training and Development.--This program
provides for training, and professional development of technically
trained professionals to staff and manage the Department's technically
complex programs and facilities. This will ensure that programs are in
place to systematically analyze scientific and engineering job
requirements, assess and identify the necessary technical qualifications
and skills of each position and target training as appropriate, and
provide a trained cadre from which the Secretary can fill the
Department's senior technical managerial positions with qualified
executives.

Biological and environmental research.--This program develops the
knowledge base necessary to identify, understand, and anticipate the
long-term health and environmental consequences of energy use and
development and utilizes the Department's unique scientific and
technological capabilities to solve major scientific problems in the
environment, medicine, and biology. Planned 1997 activities include
programs in global climate change; terrestrial, atmospheric and marine
environmental processes; molecular, cellular and systemic studies on the
biological effects of radiation, including radon emissions; structural
biology; and medical applications of nuclear technology and the Human
Genome Program. Additional funding is provided to continue construction
of the environmental and molecular sciences laboratory, and the human
genome laboratory.

Spill test facility.--Fulfilling the direction of Energy and Water
Acts, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, and the Clean
Air Act Amendments, the overall goal is to conduct user-sponsored spill
tests and mitigation responder training in support of plant and
community safety and worker and community health associated with the
handling, shipping and storage of hydrocarbons and related chemical
industries' materials with focused attention on liquefied gaseous fuels
and other hazardous fluids. Within this goal, other Federal agencies
such as the Environmental Protection Agency conduct user-sponsored tests
concerning airborne toxic substances to refine hazard concerns in
programs designed in collaboration with the Department.

Fusion Energy Sciences Program.--At the direction of the Congress,
and with guidance from the National Academy of Sciences and the
Department of Energy's Fusion Energy Advisory Committee, the Fusion
Energy Sciences Program will be significantly restructured in FY 1997.
The newly restructured program will emphasize underlying basic research
in plasma and fusion sciences, with the long-term goal of harnessing
fusion as a viable energy source. The program centers on the following
goals: 1) Advancement of plasma science in pursuit of national science
and technology goals; 2) Development of fusion science, technology and
plasma confinement innovations as the central theme of the domestic
program; and 3) Participation in international fusion energy science and
technology activities.

The budget request of $256 million provides for increased basic
research in plasma science, plasma containment re

search, and investigation of tokamak alternatives, along with continued
operation of the three major U.S. experimental machines--DIII-D, Alcator
C-Mod, and the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR). Unlike the
President's FY 1996 proposal, the FY 1997 budget proposes no funding for
the Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX). The FY 1997 budget provides for
continued U.S. participation in the International Thermonuclear
Experimental Reactor (ITER) Engineering and Design Activity, though at a
lower level than the Administration proposed for FY 1996. ITER addresses
the broad physics and engineering challenges that are generic to any
next step toward the goal of fusion energy, and is also consistent with
the fusion energy science mission. Moreover, ITER helps leverage the
U.S. program with the European, Japanese and Russian fusion programs.

Supporting research and technical analysis.--The role of these
programs is to expand the scientific and engineering base for future
energy technology development and to provide independent, objective
evaluations of energy research activities. Support is also provided for
university related research and manpower training including the use of
facilities at the national laboratories for student research and
education.
Basic Energy Sciences.--The Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program
funds basic research in the physical, biological, and engineering
sciences that support the Department's nuclear and non-nuclear
technology programs. The BES program is responsible for constructing
and operating large user research facilities, such as synchrotron
light and neutron sources, and a combustion research facility, as
well as smaller user facilities such as materials preparation and
electron microscopy centers.
The BES program also supports a substantial basic research
budget for materials sciences, chemical sciences, and the
geosciences. The program supports a number of research areas that
are unique within the Federal government; in many basic research
areas, such as materials science, funding provided by the BES
program represents a large percentage, or even the sole source of
Federal funding.
The 1997 BES budget request includes a continued support to
maintain utilization of the Department's large state-of-the-art
science facilities. The proposed funding will significantly enhance
the quality of service and availability of facility resources to
users, including university and government scientists, as well as
private companies who rely on unique BES facilities for their basic
research needs. The proposed funding level will also result in a
more rational and efficient utilization of such high technology
facilities, which are generally oversubscribed by factors of two to
three. Research areas that will benefit from this initiative include
structural biology, materials science, superconductor technology,
and medical research and technology development. A total of $23
million in budget authority is being requested for the continued
construction activities at the Combustion Research Facility, Phase
II. Of this amount, $10 million is being requested as a part of this
appropriation for the obligations to be incurred for the project in
1997. An additional $13 million in budget authority is being
requested as part of a Government-wide general provision in order to
fully fund this project. This additional amount is part of a
Government-wide effort to improve planning and budgeting for the
acquisition of fixed assets.
In addition, the BES request includes $8 million in FY 1997 to
support research and development and engineering design activities
at Oak Ridge National Laboratory leading to the conceptual design of
a next-generation spallation source to meet the Nation's neutron
scattering needs. The BES request also includes funding for
preconceptual design activities directed towards upgrading the
Department's existing reactor and spallation sources for neutron
scattering.
Without a major new neutron source or upgraded operation of an
existing research reactor, the United States will forego significant
scientific, technical, and economic benefits that derive from
neutron scattering and materials irradiation research and the
production of medical isotopes. World-class neutron sources should
enable the Nation to carry out major research activities in areas
such as biology, materials science, superconductivity,
pharmaceuticals, electronic materials, and many other technological
areas that are critical for future U.S. economic competitiveness and
national security.
University and Science Education.--The goal of this program is
to ensure that the Department effectively utilizes and leverages the
scientific and technical resources of the DOE laboratory system to
support the Department's university and science education missions.
This program provides opportunities and effective mechanisms for
students and faculty to use hands-on research experiences at the
DOE's laboratories to enhance the development of a diverse
scientific and technical workforce, and to provide the institutional
support for the education activities of all DOE's research and
technical program areas.
Energy research analyses.--This activity involves the
independent assessment of existing or proposed technological
initiatives, including examination of the base of research that
underlies energy supply and utilization technologies.

Multiprogram energy laboratories facilities support.--The goal of
the multiprogram energy laboratories facilities support program is to
provide funds for rehabilitating, replacing or demolishing deficient
common-use utilities, roads, and buildings at the multiprogram
laboratories. This program also includes support to correct ES&H
deficiencies and management of inactive surplus facilities.

Technical information management program.--This program contributes
to DOE's missions in advancing energy and nuclear defense technologies
and protecting U.S. economic and military security through the effective
management and control of the Department's scientific and technical
knowledge which is contained in its information resources. Major
objectives which are structured to meet the overall purpose are the
effective management, control, and use of the results of DOE's
multibillion dollar research program, and the acquisition and management
of results of worldwide investment in energy R&D.

Environmental management.--The Environmental Management Program
encompasses the following non-defense activities:
Environmental Restoration.--Provides for assessments,
characterization, remediation, and decontamination and
decommissioning at contaminated DOE and legislatively-authorized
non-government facilities. Various amounts and types of waste have
accumulated at these facilities and sites as a result of past
department activities spanning nearly five decades.
Waste Management.--Provides for the safe, effective, and
efficient management of wastes generated by Energy Supply Research
and Development funded activities, through minimization, treatment,
storage or disposal of various waste types including radioactive,
hazardous, mixed or sanitary wastes in compliance with applicable
local, State and Federal requirements and internal Department of
Energy requirements.
Nuclear Material and Facility Stabilization.--Directs the
stabilization of surplus nuclear materials, the preparation of
surplus nuclear materials for disposition, and the deactivation of
surplus facilities.
Site Operations.--Provides Headquarters policy direction for
landlord planning and budgeting including reducing site
infrastructure costs and managing workforce restructuring.

[[Page 442]]
Further, the Office of Site Operations manages the national
Transportation Program and the national Pollution Prevention Program
and provides leadership for crosscutting issues raised by the field
and/or Headquarters, as well as serving as an advocate for the field
at Headquarters.

Policy and management.--Provides executive direction, management
assistance, and administrative support to all programs within energy
supply activities.

Field Operations.--This account funds the Department's multiprogram
Field Operations Offices and the Office of Field Management which were
previously funded in the Departmental Administration Appropriation. The
four affected field operations offices are located at Chicago, Idaho,
Oak Ridge, and Oakland. They perform functions in support of energy
activities throughout the country. Among these functions are field
procurement, engineering and construction management, environmental
safety and health monitoring, property management, labor relations,
legal counsel, and maintenance of personnel and financial systems. These
federal FTEs conduct the management oversight of approximately 56,800
management and operating contractor employees spread across the four
field installations. The Office of Field Management is responsible for
strategic planning for all field elements and management coordination
and oversight of all operations offices, implementing project
management, cost, facilities management systems and programs.

Information Management Investment Program.--This program supports
the Strategic Alignment Initiative on Integrating Information Management
which has a goal to realize savings through consolidating information
resource acquisitions, designing an information architecture for the
Department, and ensuring interoperability among all sites. The specific
activity of this program is to fund prioritized corporate information
management projects.

Computational and Technology Research (CTR).--This program includes
research in Mathematical, Information, and Computational Sciences and
Advanced Energy Projects that were formerly budgeted as the Applied
Mathematical Sciences and Advanced Energy Projects subprograms
respectively in the Basic Energy Sciences Program. The program also
includes Laboratory technology research activities formerly budgeted as
the Technology Transfer program. The purpose of the CTR program is to
provide an integrated program in long term computational and technology
research to address complex problems. The program also supports the
operation of large supercomputer user facilities.

The Fossil Energy R&D programs support the Energy Policy Act through
research and development that will strengthen the technology base on
which industry can draw in developing future new products and processes
for the commercial market. The programs support activities ranging from
basic research in universities and national laboratories to applied R&D
and proof-of-concept projects in private sector firms.

The Fossil Energy R&D programs proposed in the 1997 budget will
continue limited Federal support of company-specific technology
development and demonstration activities. The program continues to fund
high-priority, high risk and cross-cutting research that will improve
the Nation's ability to cleanly and efficiently use coal, and to enhance
the economic recovery of our oil and gas reserves.

Coal R&D.--For 1997, programs will continue to focus on meeting the
new goals and objectives and changing mission the Department of Energy.
An integrated research and development program consisting of: (1)
Advanced Clean/Efficient

[[Page 444]]
Power Systems, (2) Advanced Fuels Research, and (3) Advanced Research
and Technology Development replaces the pre-1995 coal program which
emphasized individual technologies.

Advanced Power Systems research and development concentrates on a
set of building-block technologies that will yield the clean coal power
generation systems of the future. Typically, many technologies
contribute toward advancing any single system. By focusing on building-
block technologies that will improve a variety of systems, the
Department's program makes optimal use of funds for research,
development and demonstration. The categories of these systems that hold
great promise for commercial use include: Advanced Pulverized Coal-fired
Powerplants, High Efficiency Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion, High
Efficiency Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles, Indirectly Fired
Cycles, and Advanced Research and Environmental Technology.

The Advanced Clean Fuels Research program will conduct activities to
develop clean methods to produce coal-derived liquid fuels. This
research consists of Coal Preparation, Direct Liquefaction, Indirect
Liquefaction, Advanced Research & Environmental Technology, and Systems
for Coproducts.

Oil, gas and shale.--The oil program encompasses new and improved
oil recovery and related research and development, industry cost-shared
demonstration of improved and advanced oil recovery methods,
environmental research activities directed to facilitate environmentally
acceptable exploration and production of domestic oil resources, and
research directed to improve technology needed to economically upgrade
domestic-use crude oils in an environmentally sound manner.

Consistent with Energy Policy Act objectives, the natural gas
program has been redesigned. Previously focused on unconventional gas
recovery, the program now emphasizes enhanced gas production, storage
technology, and high efficiency, low NOx turbines.

New initiatives greatly expand the new gas program research effort.
As in all other programs, industry and Gas Research Institute cost-
sharing is a key feature. The Advanced Computational Technology
Initiative will continue to be funded in the oil and gas programs. This
initiative focuses on the transfer of Defense-developed technology to
the oil and gas industry. The fuel cells program will continue under
this heading since gas-fueled fuel cells will most probably be the first
to be developed.

Consistent with Congressional direction, the FY 1997 request also
includes funding for the mining research partnership program at the
Albany Research Center in Oregon, which was formerly funded by the
Bureau of Mines. The health and safety research programs formerly part
of the Bureau of Mines were transferred to the Department in FY 1996,
and are proposed for transfer by the Administration to the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in FY 1997.

Program direction and management support.--This program provides the
funding for all Headquarters and indirect field personnel and overhead
expenses in Fossil Energy. In addition, it provides support for day-to-
day project management functions.

Environmental restoration.--The Department of Energy is assisting in
payments for the environmental clean-up of former Fossil Energy projects
as required by the Environmental Protection Agency. Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) sites
include the Western Superfund Site at Ft. Lewis, Washington, and the
Rock Springs and Hoe Creek Sites in Wyoming. Resource Conservation
Recovery Act (RCRA) efforts are underway at the Morgantown Energy
Technology Center (METC) to eliminate cross-connections between sewer
and storm water lines, and at the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center
(PETC) to clean up contaminated soil and monitor groundwater. Clean-up
actions related to close-out of the magnetohydrodynamics program will
not be conducted. In addition, as a result of internal DOE evaluations
(Tiger Teams) other efforts are underway at both METC and PETC and at
the National Institute of Petroleum Energy Research at Bartlesville,
Oklahoma to correct a number of other environmental problems.

Fuels conversion.--This program will continue regulatory reviews and
oversight of the transmission of natural gas and electricity across the
U.S. borders and to process certifications of alternate fuel capability.

In the past, this program has included those activities necessary to
operate, explore, conserve, develop, and produce the naval petroleum
reserves at the maximum efficient rate and to conserve the oil shale
reserves. This has included routine operation and maintenance,
development and exploration drilling, environmental and conservation
work, and construction and installation of on-reserve facilities and
related systems required for the collection, storage, and distribution
of produced petroleum and related products.

In order to maximize the return on the taxpayer's investment and the
return to the Treasury and as part of the Administration's proposal to
reinvent the Department of Energy, Public Law 104-106 authorizes the
Department to sell the Government's interest in Elk Hills, the major oil
and natural gas field located near Bakersfield, California that accounts
for the bulk of this program. Under procedures established in Public Law
104-106, a minimum acceptable price shall be established for Elk Hills
and the sale shall be conducted on a competitive basis to be completed
not later than February 10, 1998. The Department shall also conduct a
study of the remaining petroleum and oil shale reserves to determine
which of the following options would maximize the value of these
reserves to the Government. These options include (1) retention and
operation, (2) transfer to another Federal agency, (3) lease, or (4)
sale. This law also authorizes the Department to produce Elk Hills at
the maximum economic rate.

Elk Hills was originally set aside to provide oil for the Navy as it
converted from coal to oil near the start of this century. Oil and gas
from the field has been produced there with contractor assistance and
sold commercially since 1976. Producing and selling this oil and natural
gas is a commercial, not a governmental activity, which is more
appropriately performed by the private sector. Restructuring at Elk
Hills is consistent with the Administration's commitment to reinvent the
government, subjecting public organizations to market dynamics where
this can be done in a way to obtain the best value for the taxpayer's
dollar. In addition to the sale price and future tax receipts on profits
to be paid by industry, the government would be freed from the
obligation to pay some $200 million needed each year to operate and
maintain the field.

====================================

The Administration's energy efficiency programs produce substantial
benefits for the Nation--both now and in the future--in terms of
economic growth, increased national security and a cleaner environment
through the research and development of energy efficiency and pollution
prevention technologies. These programs carry out the Department's
responsibility under the bipartisan Energy Policy Act of 1992 and other
major pieces of authorizing legislation.

The dollar benefits of our carefully constructed programs--to
industries, homeowners, and commercial firms--far exceed program costs.
Furthermore, the technologies developed in these programs create jobs
and global market opportunities for U.S. firms. When the benefits to
national security and the environment are included, it is clear that
these programs represent investments in a clean, productive future.

In total, the Department's energy efficiency programs are projected
to save homeowners $17 billion and businesses $12.5 billion per year by
the year 2005 and to create almost 125,000 jobs. Energy efficiency
programs for industry are projected to save U.S. firms $5.8 billion
annually by the year 2000 and create 57,000 jobs. Our transportation
technologies are projected to reduce oil imports by 2.3 million barrels
a day by the year 2000, creating a trade deficit reduction of $14
billion per year.

The activities and programs contained in the 1997 Budget Request
represent a balanced portfolio of research and development, applied
research and demonstration, and market introduction. Virtually all of
the research and development programs are conducted jointly with
industrial partners who share significantly in research costs, often
paying 33-50 percent or more. Similarly, demonstration and deployment
programs are specifically designed to leverage the existing programs and
the efforts of utilities and existing state and local government
programs in energy efficiency and pollution prevention. Within these
programs, a single federal dollar is matched by anywhere from 1:1 to as
much as a 10:1 ratio of private and other governmental contributions.
The budget structure within the Energy Conservation account has been
modified this year, with most of the State and local programs (which
focus on buildings and construction) being integrated with the building-
sector R&D activities. The new organizational unit is shown below as the
Buildings, State, and Community Sector.

Building, State and Community Sector.--In fiscal year 1997, research
and development to improve the energy efficiency of appliances, building
equipment, and the building envelope is complemented by new incentive
programs designed to move advanced technologies into the marketplace and
produce near-term energy savings with associated economic and
environmental benefits. Voluntary partnerships for lowering the barriers
to cost-effective, new technologies based on the Energy Policy Act of
1992 represent collaborations with many stakeholders, including
manufacturers, utilities, State and local organizations, and the general
public. Programs to develop appliance and lighting test procedures, to
improve the use of building efficiency codes, and to reengineer and
improve the collaborative processes for developing appliance and
building codes provide the base from which the expanded voluntary and
technology introduction programs can successfully penetrate the building
sector. The State and Local Partnership Program, which includes the
Weatherization Assistance Program, the State Energy Program (a
consolidated program including the former State Energy Conservation
Program and the Institutional Conservation Program), and the Municipal
Energy Program, is designed to promote the adoption of energy efficient
and renewable technologies among States, municipalities, institutions,
and by private citizens.

Federal Energy Management Program.--The Federal Energy Management
Program (FEMP) will continue to reduce the cost of government by
advancing energy efficiency and water conservation, and to use solar and
other renewable energy as a means to reduce energy costs. FEMP's major
fiscal year 1997 emphasis will be on using private sector investments to
retrofit federal facilities using energy savings performance
contracting, thus stretching federal leveraging to the maximum.

Industrial Sector.--The fiscal year 1997 program consists of cost-
shared technology development which is developed collaboratively with
industry and its vision of future challenges and needs. Demand-reduction
program areas include: the reduction of industrial wastes, which has
both energy-efficiency and environmental benefits; improved electric
motor systems; materials processing technologies; chemicals and
petroleum refining; pulp and paper production; and advanced materials
development. Supply activities include: efforts to understand and
mitigate the emissions from combustion of municipal wastes; more
efficient industrial cogeneration with emphasis on advanced turbine
systems; and development of chemical industry feedstocks from cellulosic
resources. The portfolio is balanced with market deployment programs
such as Motor Challenge, the National Industrial Competitiveness through
Energy, Environment and Economics (NICE3) program, Climate Wise, and the
Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Centers.

In support of the ``Industries Visions of the Future'' theme, cost-
shared Environmental Technology Partnerships will be initiated to
conduct research, demonstrations, and deployment of environmentally
sound technologies in heavy process industries and in small- and medium-
sized industries.

Transportation Sector.--The FY 1997 program continues development
and commercialization of technologies which can radically alter current
projections of U.S. and world demand for energy, particularly oil. The
program represents a major portion of the Partnership for the Next
Generation of Vehicles with its significant improvements in fuel economy
and environmental emissions. Program priorities reflect work on
technologies which are most critical to achieve a tripling of light duty
vehicles fuel economy, including hybrid vehicles, fuel cells, and
advanced materials technologies that improve engine efficiency and
reduce weight. In addition, the program will continue to develop
alternative fuels and vehicles, and advanced batteries that enable the
use of electricity as an alternative fuel. These activities include
demonstrating ad

[[Page 447]]
vanced alternative fuel vehicles that provide improved range and reduced
emissions, with performance equivalent to conventional vehicles;
accelerating the use of alternative fuels and vehicles through
implementation of Energy Policy Act programs; and demonstrating
continued progress in improving range and performance for electric and
hybrid vehicles.

Utility Technologies.--The Integrated Resource Planning (IRP)
program has assisted States in evaluating cost-effective resource
allocation options for utility planning. The IRP program has been in
existence since 1986 and has substantially completed its mission. In FY
1996 the program is being phased out.

Policy and Management.--This activity supports management in the
development of policy and program evaluation for energy conservation
programs to ensure effective program delivery.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is charged with
regulating certain interstate aspects of the natural gas, oil pipeline,
hydropower, and electric industries. Such regulation includes issuing
licenses and certificates for construction of facilities, approving
rates, inspecting dams, implementing compliance and enforcement
activities, and providing other services to regulated businesses. In
1997, these businesses will pay fees and charges sufficient to fully
offset the Commission's cost of providing licenses, inspections, and
other services.

Natural gas and oil.--The Commission regulates 150 natural gas
pipeline companies, and 130 common carrier oil pipeline companies,
including the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS). Responsibilities
include: issuing certificates of public convenience and necessity for
natural gas pipelines, determining rates for the transportation of
natural gas in interstate commerce and rates for the transportation of
oil by pipeline; and establishing applicable tariff provisions to carry
out the Commission's responsibilities under the Natural Gas Act and the
Natural Gas Policy Act. In the post-Order No. 636 environment, the
Commission is addressing the new issues that arise in the more
competitive marketplace. The Commission has developed policies to permit
more flexibility in pricing and is looking at potential solutions to
long-term pipeline capacity usage issues. The Commission will be working
to assure a healthy, viable pipeline industry while continuing to
protect the public interest.

Hydropower.--The Commission issues preliminary permits, exemptions,
and licenses, including relicenses, for non-federal hydroelectric
projects, enforces their terms and conditions, and performs dam safety
inspections. The Commission regulates more than 1,600 hydroelectric
projects which supply about 5 percent of the electric energy generated
in the United States. The Commission also performs investigations to
determine the amount of headwater benefits that are derived from
Federally-owned and FERC-licensed headwater improvements and returned
more than $6 million in revenues to the U.S. Treasury in 1995.

Electric power.--The Commission is responsible for determining rates
for the interstate sale or transmission of wholesale electric energy for
more than 200 electric utilities and for overseeing electric utility
corporate transactions. The Commission approves rates for all Federal
power marketing agencies except TVA. Implementing the Energy Policy Act
of 1992 will result in many changes in the electric power industry to
meet increasing generating capacity needs of the 1990's, primarily
through nontraditional sources in response to economic forces in the
marketplace. The Commission has the authority to order the provision of
transmission service upon request. The Commission also certifies
cogenerators, small power producers, and exempt wholesale generators.

This loan guarantee program was started in 1979 to subsidize loans
for geothermal energy projects too risky to acquire private sector
financing on their own. Budget authority in the fund in recent years has
only been needed to support one FTE to monitor the remaining active
agreements and assets of the program. In 1992, that person's position
was incorporated into the geothermal R&D activity, so no new budget
authority will be needed in this account in FY 1997.

Clean Coal Technology

(including rescission and deferral)

Of the funds made available under this heading for obligation in
fiscal year 1997 by previous appropriations Acts, as amended,
$325,000,000 are rescinded, and an additional $312,879,000 of such funds
shall not be available for obligation until October 1, 1997: Provided,
That all funds available in fiscal year 1997 under this head shall be
available for any ongoing project regardless of the separate request for
proposal under which the project was selected: Provided further, That
not to exceed $17,000,000 available in fiscal year 1997 may be used for
administrative oversight of the Clean Coal Technology program.

Public Law 99-190, making continuing appropriations for 1986,
provided $400 million from funds in the Energy Security Reserve in the
Department of the Treasury for a new Clean Coal Technology program in
the Department of Energy. This program was authorized under the Clean
Coal Technology Reserve proviso of Public Law 98-473 to subsidize the
construction and operation of facilities to demonstrate the potential
commercial feasibility of such technologies.

Termination of the Clean Coal Technology program, after completion
of projects now underway, is part of the President's realignment of the
Department of Energy. The Administration's policy calls for limiting
existing projects which have been selected under contract. If a project
is cancelled, the cancelled project's funding will either be used to
meet the needs of remaining on-going projects, or will be rescinded if
the funds are not needed by the program.

The Department is proposing a rescission of $325 million from the
program in FY 1997. The proposed rescission would reduce the total
amount appropriated from $2.550 billion to $2.225 billion. In addition,
a provision in the request would prevent the Department from obligating
$175 million in FY 1997 unobligated budget authority not needed by the
program until FY 1998. The Department plans to review the current suite
of projects and intends to make project termination decisions to meet
the proposed rescission amounts with minimum impact on overall program
objectives. Decisions regarding spe

[[Page 452]]
cific project terminations and/or restructurings are expected to be made
by the end of FY 1996 to achieve the savings in the rescission proposal.

This program was established in 1980 for the purpose of expediting
the development and production of alternative fuels.

When the Synthetic Fuels Corporation was declared to be operational
in 1982, the uncommitted and unobligated funds remaining in the program
were transferred to the Energy Security Reserve for use by the Synthetic
Fuels Corporation, with the exception of the loan guarantee for the
Great Plains Gasification Project, which remained under the jurisdiction
of the Department of Energy. The Department exercised its authority to
borrow from the Treasury to repay the Federal Financing Bank upon
default of the borrower in 1985. This loan was repaid, along with
accrued interest, by a Supplemental appropriation in 1986. The
Department acquired ownership of the Great Plains plant by foreclosure,
which was completed on July 14, 1986, and continued operation of the
plant without the expenditure of appropriated funds. On October 31,
1988, the Department completed the process of establishing an asset
purchase agreement for the Great Plains Gasification Plant by settlement
with Basin Electric Power Cooperative Association. Responsibilities for
other related agreements--Trust Agreement, Gas Transportation Agreement,
Gas Purchase Agreement--were also settled. Under the terms of the asset
purchase agreement a check for $85 million was provided to the
Government as an initial payment. These agreements are currently the
subject of litigation between the Department, Dakota Gasification
Company and the four pipeline companies which purchase the synthetic gas
from the plant. Future revenue sharing payments to the Department are
dependent upon the outcome of this litigation as well as natural gas
prices.

The parties to litigation negotiated settlement agreements in
principle in December 1993. Settlement agreements dated February 16,
1994, have been signed. These settlement agreements resolve all past
disputes as well as restructure the Gas Purchase Agreements pricing
provisions. The settlement agreements are contingent upon final Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approval.

One of the four pipeline companies, which purchases 20 percent of
the plant's output of synthetic natural gas, has received Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission approval for its settlement agreement. On December
29, 1995, FERC Administrative Law Judge, Michel Levant, issued an
initial decision that found the remaining three settlement agreements
imprudent based on a comparison of settlement costs versus the costs
under the original gas purchase agreements (as modified by the ALJ
decision). The ALJ further decided that the modification made to the
agreements should be applied retroactively to May 1, 1993.

The Department of Energy filed a Brief on Exceptions on January 29,
1996. FERC has committed to taking final action on this case by December
31, 1996.

The Alaska Power Administration is responsible for operation and
maintenance and power marketing for the Eklutna and Snettisham
hydroelectric projects in accordance with the authorizing legislation
for each project.

Consistent with the recommendations of the National Performance
Review, legislation was proposed for transfer and termination of the
Alaska Power Administration (APA). On November 28, 1995, the President
signed S.395 into law (Public Law 104-58) the Alaska Power
Administration Asset Sale and Termination Act (1995). Consistent with
this legislation, APA's activities will concentrate on the termination
of the Alaska Power Administration and transfer of its assets to non-
federal ownership.

The Southeastern Power Administration (SEPA) markets power generated
at Corps of Engineers hydroelectric generating plants in an eleven-State
area of the Southeast. Deliveries are made by means of transmission
facilities owned by others. There are 23 projects now in operation.

SEPA sells wholesale power primarily to publicly and cooperatively-
owned electric distribution utilities using wheeling and pooling
agreements with the region's large private utilities to provide firm
power to its customers. SEPA does not own or operate any transmission
facilities. Its long-term contracts provide for periodic electric rate
adjustments to ensure that the Federal Government recovers costs of
operation and capital invested in power, with interest, in keeping with
statutory requirements.

The SEPA program includes the following activities:
Program direction.--Provision is made for negotiation and
administration of power contracts, collection of revenues,
development of wholesale power rates, the amortization of power
investment, investigation and planning of proposed water resources
projects, scheduling and dispatch of power generation, scheduling
storage and release of water, administration of contractual
operation requirements, and determination of methods of operating
generating plants individually and in coordination with others to
obtain maximum utilization of resources. Proprietary receipts
deposited in the Treasury were $146 million for 1995 and are
estimated to be $156 million for 1996 and $165 million for 1997.
Purchase power and wheeling.--Provision is made for the payment
of wheeling fees and for the purchase of electricity in connection
with disposal of power under contracts with utility companies.

For display purposes only, the unobligated balances of this account
include a continuing fund of $50 thousand, maintained from receipts from
the transmission and sale of electric power in the southeastern area,
which is available to defray expenses necessary to ensure continuity of
services (16 U.S.C. 825s-2).

====================================

The Western Area Power Administration (Western) markets electric
power in 15 western States from federally-owned power plants operated
primarily by the Bureau of Reclamation, Corps of Engineers, and the
International Boundary and Water Commission. Western operates and
maintains approximately 16,760 circuit-miles of high-voltage
transmission lines and 257 substations/switchyards, and constructs
additions and modifications to existing facilities.

Western sells wholesale power to electric distribution utilities. In
keeping with statutory requirements, Western's long-term power contracts
allow for periodic rate adjustments to ensure that the Federal
Government recovers costs of operation and the capital investment in
power facilities, with interest.

Systems operation and maintenance.--A total of 13 power systems will
be operated and maintained. Western will continue to participate in
conservation and renewable energy programs in 1997.

Power is sold to wholesale customers such as municipalities,
cooperatives, irrigation districts, public utility districts, State and
Federal Government agencies, and private utilities. Receipts are
deposited in the Reclamation fund, the Falcon and Amistad Operating and
Maintenance fund, the General fund, the Colorado River Dam fund, the
Central Valley Project Restoration Fund, the Lower Colorado River Basin
Development fund, and the Upper Colorado River Basin fund.

Energy sales and revenues resulting from these Western power systems
operations, are as follows:
1995 est. 1996 est. 1997 est.
Energy sales (millions of kilowatt
hours).............................. 34,052 31,503 31,739
Gross Operating Revenues (in
thousands of dollars)............... 796,521 804,825 828,056

Purchase of power and wheeling.--The program provides for purchase
of power and wheeling. Financing of this program consists of $59,635,000
of new budget authority, $14,600,000 of prior year balances,
$102,481,000 associated with net billing and customer bill crediting,
and $20,000,000 associated with reimbursement from other Federal
entities, for a total program cost of $196,716,000.

System construction.--Western's construction and rehabilitation
activity emphasizes replacement and upgrades of existing infrastructure
to sustain reliable power delivery to our customers, to contain annual
maintenance costs, and to improve overall operational efficiency.
Western will continue to participate in joint construction projects to
encourage more widespread transmission access.

Program direction.--This activity provides compensation and all
related expenses for the workforce that operates and maintains Western's
high voltage interconnected transmission system (systems operation and
maintenance program), and those that plan design, and supervise the
construction of replacement, upgrades and additions (system construction
program) to the transmission facilities.

Utah Mitigation and Conservation.--The 1997 budget request includes
$5,432,000 for deposit into the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and
Conservation Account in the U.S. Treasury, pursuant to Title IV of the
Reclamation Projects Authorization and Adjustment Act of 1992. Funds are
earmarked primarily for environmental mitigation expenditures in the
State of Utah covering fish and wildlife, and recreation resources
impacted by the Colorado River Storage Project.

Reimbursable program.--This program involves services provided by
Western to others under various types of reimbursable arrangements.

For display purposes only, the unobligated balances of this account
include a continuing fund of $500 thousand, which is maintained from
deposits to the Reclamation Fund, and is available to ensure continuous
operation of power systems in the event of below normal hydropower
generation, equipment failure, or other damage caused by acts of God,
flood, drought, strikes, embargoes, or other conditions which might
cause interruptions in service.

Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is the Federal electric power
marketing agency in the Pacific Northwest. BPA markets hydroelectric
power from 21 multipurpose water resource projects of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and 9 projects of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation,
plus some energy from non-Federal generating projects in the region.
These generating resources and BPA's transmission system, planned by the
end of 1997 to consist of an estimated 14,800 circuit miles of high-
voltage transmission lines and 400 substations, are operated as an
integrated power system with operating and financial results combined
and reported as the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). BPA is
the largest power wholesaler in the Northwest and provides about one-
half of the region's electric energy supply and about four-fifths of the
region's electric power transmission capacity.

BPA is responsible for meeting the net firm power requirements of
its requesting customers through a variety of means, including energy
conservation programs, acquisition of renewable and other resources, and
power exchanges with utilities both in and outside the region.

BPA will finance its operations on the basis of the self-financing
authority provided by Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act of
1974 (Transmission Act) (Public Law 93-454) and the new borrowing
authority provided by the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and
Conservation Act (Pacific Northwest Power Act) (Public Law 96-501) for
energy conservation, renewable energy resources and capital fish
facilities. Authority to borrow is available to the BPA on a permanent,
indefinite basis. The amount of borrowing outstanding at any time cannot
exceed $3.75 billion.

Operating expenses: Marketing, Conservation and Production.--
Provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of
reliable, cost effective resources including fuel switching and
conservation measures. Also includes protection, mitigation and
enhancement of fish and wildlife affected by hydroelectric facilities on
the Columbia River and its tributaries in accordance with the Pacific
Northwest Power Act. Provides for forecasting regional demand;
negotiating power sales and wheeling contracts, billing, and servicing
these contracts; reviewing and establishing wholesale power and wheeling
rates and scheduling power. These resources are needed to serve BPA's
portion of the region's forecasted net electric load requirements.

Residential Exchange.--Provides for extending the benefits of low
cost Federal power to the residential and small farm customers of
investor-owned and publicly-owned utilities, in accordance with the
Pacific Northwest Power Act.

Transmission Services.--Provides funding from revenues for electric
transmission research and development and program support of the capital
investment program described below for transmission services. Provides
for operating an estimated 14,800 miles of line and 400 substations, and
for maintaining the facilities and equipment of the Bonneville
transmission system in 1997.

Planning Council.--Provides for activities of the Pacific Northwest
Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council required by the Pacific
Northwest Power Act.

Interest.--Provides for payments to the U.S. Treasury for interest
on borrowings to finance BPA's transmission services, conservation,
capital equipment, fish and wildlife, and associated projects capital
programs under $3.75 billion borrowing authority provided by the
Transmission Act as amended by the Pacific Northwest Power Act and
replenished by Public Law 98-50. This category also includes interest on
Corps of Engineers, BPA and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation appropriated
debt.

Associated project costs.--Provides for repayment of the operation
and maintenance (O&M) costs of the 30 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation power generating projects, and amortization
on the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation capital investment in power generating
facilities and irrigation assistance at Bureau facilities.

Reimbursable.--Provides for reimbursable power purchases, and for
services such as construction, operation and maintenance of transmission
facilities when requested and financed by other entities. Also includes
the coordination agreement payments to the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission.

Capital Investments: Marketing, Conservation & Production.--Provides
for funding of cost-effective conservation measures.

Transmission Services.--Provides for the planning, design and
construction of transmission lines, substation and control system
additions, replacements, and enhancements to the FCRPS transmission
system for a reliable, efficient and cost-effective regional
transmission system. During FY 1997, Bonneville plans to complete
testing and commence operation of the new Munro Control Center, near
Spokane, Washington, along with continued construction and completion of
a variety of upgrades and additions to existing facilities. Provides for
planning, design, and construction work to repair or replace existing
transmission lines, substations, control systems, and general facilities
of the FCRPS transmission system.

[[Page 462]]

Capital equipment.--Provides for general purpose ADP equipment,
office furniture and equipment, and software capital development in
support of all BPA programs.

Environment, Fish and wildlife.--Provides for capital investments to
implement environmental activities, and protect, mitigate, and enhance
fish and wildlife affected by hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia
River and its tributaries, in accordance with the Pacific Northwest
Power Act.

Associated Projects-Capital.--Provides for direct funding of
additions, improvements, and replacements at existing Federal
hydroelectric projects in the Northwest. BPA's 1997 budget includes
direct funding for four Bureau of Reclamation projects and one Corps of
Engineers project.

Contingencies.--Although contingencies are not specifically funded,
the need may arise to provide for purchase of power in low-water years;
for repair and/or replacement of facilities affected by natural and man-
made emergencies, including the resulting additional costs for
contracting, construction, and operation and maintenance work; for
unavoidable increased costs for the planned program due to necessary but
unforeseen adjustments, including engineering and design changes,
contractor and other claims and relocations, or for payment of a
retrospective premium adjustment in excess nuclear property insurance.

Financing.--The Transmission Act provides for the use by BPA of all
receipts, collections, and recoveries in cash from all sources,
including the sale of bonds, to finance the annual budget programs of
BPA. These receipts result primarily from the sale of power and wheeling
services. The Transmission Act also provides for authority to borrow
from the U.S. Treasury at rates comparable to borrowings at open market
rates for similar issues. As amended by the Pacific Northwest Power Act
and replenished by Public Law 98-50, it allows for $3.75 billion of
borrowing to be outstanding at any time. The fiscal year 1997 capital
obligations are estimated to be $287 million. To the extent BPA capital
borrowing authority is insufficient in 1997, BPA would use cash reserves
generated by revenues from customers, if available, to finance some of
these investments.

In FY 1995, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $1,000 million and
also expects to make payments of $800 million in 1996 and $835 million
in 1997. The 1997 payment will be distributed as follows: U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service O&M ($124 million), Colville Settlement ($15 million), interest
on bonds and appropriations ($394 million), irrigation assistance ($25
million), and amortization ($277 million).

Direct loans.--During FY 1997, no new direct loan obligations may be
made.

Operating results.--Total revenues and reimbursements are forecast
at approximately $3.4 billion in 1997.

It should be noted that BPA's revenue forecasts are based on several
critical assumptions about both the supply of and demand for Federal
energy. During the operating year, deviation from the conditions assumed
in a rate case may result in a variation in actual revenues of several
hundred million dollars from the forecast.

Western's operation and maintenance and power marketing expenses for
the Colorado River storage project, the Colorado River Basin project,
the Seedskadee project, the Dolores project and the Fort Peck project
are financed from power revenues.

Western operates and maintains approximately 4,000 miles of
transmission lines, substations, switchyards, communications and control
equipment associated with this fund. The compensation and related
expenses for all these activities are qualified under Program Direction.
Wholesale power is provided to utilities over interconnected high-
voltage transmission systems. In keeping with statutory requirements,
long-term power contracts provide for periodic rate adjustments to
ensure that the Federal Government recovers all costs of operation and
all capital invested in power, with interest.

Colorado River storage project.--Western markets power and operates
and maintains the power transmission facilities of the Colorado River
storage project. Western also purchases electricity and pays wheeling
fees to meet firm and nonfirm commitments.

Colorado River Basin project.--The Colorado River Basin project
includes Western's expenses associated with the Central Arizona project
and the United States entitlement from the Navajo coal-fired powerplant.
Revenues in excess of operating expenses are deposited in the Lower
Colorado River Basin development fund.

Fort Peck project.--Revenue collected by Western is used to defray
construction, operation and maintenance and power marketing expenses
associated with the power generation and transmission facilities of the
Fort Peck project, Corps of Engineers--Civil, and emergency expenses to
ensure continuous operation. The Corps operates and maintains the power
generating facilities, and Western operates and maintains the
transmission system and performs power marketing functions.

Seedskadee project.--Activity under the Seedskadee project at
Fontenelle Dam in Wyoming was previously included in the Colorado River
Storage project. In 1994, separate reporting was initiated to comply
with power repayment requirements.

Dolores project.--Activity under the Dolores project at McPhee Dam
in southwestern Colorado was previously included in the Colorado River
Storage project. The facilities were transferred from the Bureau of
Reclamation to Western late in 1994. Separate reporting was initiated in
1994 to comply with power repayment requirements.

Energy sales and revenue from the Colorado River storage project,
the Seedskadee project, the Dolores project and the Colorado River Basin
project are shown in the table below. Revenue from the Fort Peck project
is integrated with Pick-Sloan Missouri Basin program revenue and
included in the revenue totals shown in Western's construction,
rehabilitation, operation and maintenance account.

for are:

Office of Policy.--This organization is the principal adviser to the
Secretary for formulating and recommending national energy policy, for
conducting environmental and economic impact analyses, for Departmental
planning strategies and outyear program funding requirements, for
conducting integrated policy analysis, for conducting a systemic
evaluation of DOE

[[Page 465]]
programs to ensure that each contributes the maximum toward national
energy goals and objectives, for managing the performance management
program, for the formulation of international energy policy, analyses
and assessments of the current world energy situation, and for
international cooperation in energy matters.

Human Resources and Administration.--This office provides
institutional support services to headquarters organizations and to the
Department as a whole. Areas of responsibility include: organization and
management systems; personnel management; automated data processing
management and acquisition; telecommunications management; procurement
and assistance management and oversight; as well as performing and
supplying administration services.

Administrative services related to rent and building operations,
printing and graphics, copying, postage, supplies, telephones, Automated
Office Support Services charges, Defense Contract Audit Agency audits,
contract closeouts, in addition to expenses related to workman's
compensation and senior executive service bonuses will be performed in
the Department's Intragovernmental Working Capital Fund (WCF) to be
initiated in FY 1997. Funding for the WCF will be justified in the
program's budgets and requested in affected appropriations. As a result,
funds requested in Departmental Administration will decline in FY 1997.

Chief Financial Officer.--This office is responsible for
Departmental budgeting, accounting, financial policy, and compliance.

Congressional, Public, and Intergovernmental Affairs.--This office

efforts include public information activities, press and media services,
consumers liaison, communicating with public interest groups, speaker
scheduling, publication of special information materials, research,
speech writing, special projects, internal communications and editorial
services.

The Office of Field Management and the Field Operations Offices
previously funded in Departmental Administration have been transferred
to the Energy Supply Research and Development account in FY 1997 in
order to more clearly display the level of field operations, as opposed
to headquarters' staff functions, in keeping with good management
practices and Congressional guidance.

General Counsel.--This office is responsible for providing legal
services to all energy activities except for those functions belonging
exclusively to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which is served
by its own General Counsel and litigation arising from the Emergency
Petroleum Allocation Act. Its responsibilities entail the provision of
legal opinion, advice and services to administrative and program
offices, and the conduct of both administrative and judicial litigation,
as well as legal advice and support for enforcement activities. Further,
the General Counsel appears before State and Federal agencies in defense
of national energy policies and activities. The office is responsible
for the coordination and clearance of proposed legislation affecting
energy activities and testimony before Congress. The General Counsel is
also responsible for oversight of intelligence activities; ensuring
consistency and legal sufficiency of all energy regulations;
administering and monitoring standards of conduct requirements; and
conducting the Patents program.

Office of the Secretary.--Directs and supervises the staff and
provides policy guidance to line and staff organizations in the
accomplishment of agency objectives.

Board of Contract Appeals.--Adjudicates disputes arising out of the
Department's contracts and financial assistance programs and provides
for alternative dispute resolution.

Economic Impact and Diversity.--Is responsible for: (1) advising the
Secretary on the effects of the Department's policies, regulations and
actions on minorities and minority business enterprises; (2) conducting
research to determine energy consumption and use patterns of minorities;
(3) providing technical assistance to minority educational institutions
and minority business enterprises to enable them to participate more
fully in Departmental activities; (4) the office also is responsible for
initiatives on historically black colleges and universities for the
Department; (5) administering a Departmental small and disadvantaged
business program; and, (6) serves as the Department's enforcer to ensure
that the civil rights of employees are protected and complaints are
processed within applicable regulatory timeframes.

Work for Others.--This activity covers the cost of work performed
under orders placed with the Department by non-DOE entities.
Reimbursement for these costs is made through deposits of offsetting
collections to this account.

For FY 1997, the Department is proposing to establish a working
capital fund to provide headquarters program offices administrative
services such as building space, information and telecommunications
services, supplies, printing, and copying. In the past, most of the
funding for these goods and services has been requested in Departmental
Administration, and was provided in a way many agency consumers
perceived as ``free.'' Establishment of the working capital fund should
help the Department reduce waste and improve efficiency, since funding
for the goods and services is requested by the program office consumers
who purchase what they need through the working capital fund. The total
FY 1997 revenues of the fund are estimated at $93 million.
