    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

[[Page 441]]
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.

    This program supports energy information activities which are 
designed to provide timely, accurate and relevant energy information for 
use by the Administration, the Congress, and the general public. The 
activities funded in this program include the design, development and 
maintenance of information systems on petroleum, natural gas, coal, 
nuclear, electricity, alternate fuel sources, and energy consumption. 
This includes collecting data and ensuring its accuracy; preparing 
forecasts of alternative energy futures; and preparing reports on energy 
sources, end-uses, prices, supply and demand, and associated 
environmental, economic, international, and financial matters. This 
program also includes the operation of the Energy Information 
Administration (EIA) computer facility, telecommunications support, 
customer services, and ADP software support to the Department of Energy 
and others. In addition, the National Energy Information Center 
disseminates statistical and analytical publications, reports, and data 
files in hard-copy and electronic formats, and responds to public 
inquiries. Finally, this activity provides survey and statistical design 
standards, documentation standards, and energy data public-use forms 
clearance and burden control services.

    Compliance.--This program, administered by the Office of General 
Counsel, is responsible for resolving all remaining enforcement actions 
to ensure that oil companies complied with petroleum regulations in 
effect prior to decontrol of oil in January 1981.

    Hearings and appeals.--The Office of Hearings and Appeals issues all 
final orders of an adjudicatory nature other than those over which the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or the Board of Contract Appeals 
has jurisdiction. It decides appeals of petroleum enforcement actions 
and adverse Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act determinations, 
examines requests for exception relief, and administers refund 
proceedings involving funds obtained as a result of petroleum 
enforcement actions. This office is also responsible for (a) conducting 
hearings and issuing initial agency decisions on ``whistleblower'' 
complaints made under the DOE Contractor Employee Protection Program, 
(b) issuing final agency decisions on appeals of disputed ``Payment-
Equal-to-Taxes'' determinations made under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act 
of 1982, as amended, and (c) conducting personnel security 
administrative review hearings, and performing administrative reviews of 
initial determinations. The FY 1997 funding request is limited to 
expenses related to Petroleum overcharge cases.

    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.
    Note.--A regular 1996 appropriation for this account had not been 
enacted at the time this budget was prepared. The 1996 amounts included 
in this budget are based on the levels provided in three continuing 
resolutions: P.L. 104-91, P.L. 104-92, and P.L. 104-99.

    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 nuclear waste disposal program consists of efforts related to 
the development, acquisition, and operation of facilities for the 
disposal of civilian and defense high level nuclear waste. These 
activities are funded by appropriations from the Nuclear Waste Fund 
which is paid for by the users of the disposal service, and the Defense 
Nuclear Waste Disposal account, which was established by Congress as 
part of the 1993 Energy and Water Development Appropriation (P.L. 102-
377) in lieu of a payment from the Department of Energy into the Nuclear 
Waste Fund for activities related to the disposal of defense high-level 
waste.

    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 Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) operates in a 
six-State area as a marketing agent for hydroelectric power produced at 
Corps of Engineers dams. It also operates and maintains some 2,225 
kilometers (1,380 miles) of high voltage transmission lines, 24 
substations and switching stations, and 44 VHF radio and microwave 
stations. Southwestern sells its power at wholesale primarily to 
publicly and cooperatively owned electric distribution utilities. Its 
long-term 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, in keeping with statutory 
requirements.

    Southwestern also is responsible for scheduling and dispatching 
power, negotiating power sales contracts, and constructing facilities 
required to meet changing customer load requirements.

    Program Direction.--This activity provides for the overall direction 
and support of Southwestern's program activities and includes salaries 
and benefits, travel, support services and other related expenses such 
as rent, utilities, communications, supplies, materials and building 
maintenance.

    Systems operation and maintenance.--Provision is made for 
investigating and planning proposed water resources projects, scheduling 
and dispatching power generation, scheduling storage and release of 
water, administering contractual operation requirements, and determining 
methods of operating generating plants individually and in coordination 
with others to obtain maximum utilization of resources. Provision also 
is made for maintenance and improvement of the transmission system and 
related facilities to ensure reliable service, negotiation and 
administration of power contracts, collection of revenue, development of 
wholesale power rates and the amortization of the power investment. 
Actual proprietary receipts in the amount of $96 million were deposited 
in the Treasury in 1995. Estimated proprietary receipts in the amount of 
$95 million in 1996 and $94 million in 1997 are expected.

    Purchase power and wheeling.--Provision is made for the payment of 
wheeling fees and for the purchase of energy in connection with the 
marketing of power under contracts with utility companies.

    Construction.--The construction program provides transmission, 
substation, switching and control facilities to transmit power generated 
at Corps of Engineers' hydroelectric projects in the Southwest. This 
program is coordinated with the Corps of Engineers' construction program 
and customer requirements. This program also provides for the purchase 
of capital electrical equipment used for upgrading the established 
system to meet changing customer load requirements.

    Reimbursable program.--This program involves services provided by 
Southwestern Power Administration to others under various types of 
reimbursable arrangements. In 1996, the reimbursable program primarily 
provides for operation and maintenance, construction, and power and 
energy services. The power and energy service supports the requirements 
of two government agencies, Ft. Sill and McAlester Army Ammunition 
Plant.

    For display purposes only, the unobligated balances of this account 
include a continuing fund of $300 thousand, which is replenished from 
power receipts and is available permanently for emergency expenses that 
would be necessary to ensure continuity of service (16 U.S.C. 825s-1; 63 
Stat. 767; 65 Stat. 249).

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

    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.

    Pursuant to section 423(c) of the Foreign Relations Authorization 
Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995, Western Area Power Administration is 
requesting $970,000 to defray operations, maintenance, and emergency 
(O,M&E) expenses for the hydroelectric facilities at Falcon and Amistad 
Dams on the Rio Grande River. Most of these funds will be made available 
to the United States Section of the International Boundary and Water 
Commission through a reimbursable agreement. $200,000 is for an 
emergency reserve that will remain unobligated unless unanticipated 
expenses arise. Revenues in excess of O,M&E will be paid to the General 
Fund to repay the costs of replacements and the original investment with 
interest. Energy sales and revenues resulting from the Falcon and 
Amistad dams power system operations and deposited to the Falcon and 
Amistad operating and maintenance fund are as follows:

    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.

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.

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.

practices and Congressional guidance.

services to all energy activities except for those functions belonging 
exclusively to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which is served

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.

actions on minorities and minority business enterprises; (2) conducting 
research to determine energy consumption and use patterns of minorities;

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.

    means such electric power that has become surplus to the firm 
    contractual obligations of the Administrator under section 5(f) of 
    the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act 
    (16 U.S.C. 839c(f)) due to either--
                  (A) any reduction in the quantity of electric power 
            that the Administrator is contractually required to supply 
            under subsections (b) and (d) of section 5 of the Pacific 
            Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (16 
            U.S.C. 839c), due to the election by customers of the 
            Bonneville Power Administration to purchase electric power 
            from other suppliers, as compared to the quantity of 
            electric power that the Administrator was contractually 
            required to supply as of January 1, 1995; or
                  (B) those operations of the Federal Columbia River 
            Power System that are primarily for the benefit of fish and 
            wildlife affected by the development, operation, or 
            management of the System.
  (b) Sale of Excess Federal Power.--Notwithstanding section 2, 
subsections (a), (b), and (c) of section 3, and section 7 of Public Law 
88-552 (16 U.S.C. 837a, 837b, and 837f), and section 9(c) of the Pacific 
Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 
839f(c)), the Administrator may, as permitted by otherwise applicable 
law, sell or otherwise dispose of excess Federal power--
          (1) outside the Pacific Northwest on a firm basis for a 
    contract term of not to exceed 7 years, if the excess Federal power 
    is first offered for a reasonable period of time and under the same 
    essential rate, terms and conditions to those Pacific Northwest 
    public body, cooperative and investor-owned utilities and those 
    direct service industrial customers identified in subsection (b) or 
    (d)(1)(A) of section 5 of the Pacific Northwest Electric Power 
    Planning and Conservation Act (16 U.S.C. 839c); and
          (2) in any region without the prohibition on resale 
    established by the second sentence of section 5(a) of the Act 
    entitled ``An Act to authorize the completion, maintenance, and 
    operation of Bonneville project for navigation, and for other 
    purposes'', approved August 20, 1937 (commonly known as the 
    ``Bonneville Project Act of 1937'') (16 U.S.C. 832d(a)).
  [(c) Study by Council.--(1) Within 180 days of enactment of this Act, 
the Council shall review and report to Congress regarding the most 
appropriate governance structure to allow more effective regional 
control over efforts to conserve and enhance anadromous and resident 
fish and wildlife within the Federal Columbia River Power System.]
  [(d)] (c) Corps of Engineers Procurement.--The Assistant Secretary of 
the Army for Civil Works, acting through the North Pacific Division of 
the Corps of Engineers, is authorized to place orders for goods and 
services related to facilities for electric power generation and fish 
and wildlife mitigation associated with the Federal Columbia River Power 
System with and through the Administrator using the authorities 
available to the Administrator.
  [(e) Residential Exchange.--Notwithstanding the establishment, 
confirmation and approval of rates pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 839e, and 
notwithstanding the provisions of 16 U.S.C. 839c(c), the cost benefits 
of eligible utilities' total purchase and exchange sales under 16 U.S.C. 
839c(c)(1) shall be $145,000,000 for fiscal year 1997, and the net 
benefits paid to each eligible electric utility shall be $145,000,000 
multiplied by the percentage of the total of such net benefits paid by 
the Administrator to such utility for fiscal year 1995.]
  [(f)] (d) Personnel Flexibility.--The Administrator may offer 
employees voluntary separation incentives as deemed necessary which 
shall not exceed $25,000. Recipients who accept employment with the 
United States within five years after separation shall repay the entire 
amount to the Bonneville Power Administration.

  Sec. [510] 505. Water Levels in Rainy Lake and Namakan Lake.--
  (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
          (1) the Rainy Lake and Namakan Reservoir Water Level 
    International Steering Committee conducted a 2-year analysis in 
    which public comments on the water levels in Rainy Lake and Namakan 
    Lake revealed significant problems with the current regulation of 
    water levels and resulted in Steering Committee recommendations in 
    November 1993; and
          (2) maintaining water levels closer to those recommended by 
    the Steering Committee will help ensure the enhancement of water 
    quality, fish and wildlife, and recreational resources in Rainy Lake 
    and Namakan Lake.
  (b) Definitions.--In this section:
          (1) Existing rule curve.--The term ``existing rule curve'' 
    means each of the rule curves promulgated by the International Joint 
    Commission to regulate water levels in Rainy Lake and Namakan Lake 
    in effect as of the date of enactment of this Act.
          (2) Proposed rule curve.--The term ``proposed rule curve'' 
    means each of the rule curves recommended by the Rainy Lake and 
    Namakan Reservoir International Steering Committee for regulation of 
    water levels in Rainy Lake and Namakan Lake in the publication 
    entitled ``Final Report and Recommendations'' published in November 
    1993.
  (c) Water Levels.--The dams at International Falls and Kettle Falls, 
Minnesota, in Rainy Lake and Namakan Lake, respectively, shall be 
operated so as to maintain water levels as follows:
          (1) Coincident rule curves.--In each instance in which an 
    existing rule curve coincides with a proposed rule curve, the water 
    level shall be maintained within the range of such coincidence.
          (2) Noncoincident rule curves.--In each instance in which an 
    existing rule curve does not coincide with a proposed rule curve, 
    the water level shall be maintained at the limit of the existing 
    rule curve that is closest to the proposed rule curve.
  (d) Enforcement.--
          (1) In general.--The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
    shall enforce this section as though the provisions were included

[[Page 469]]
    in the license issued by the Commission on December 31, 1987, for 
    Commission Project No. 5223-001.
          (2) Rule of construction.--Nothing in this section shall be 
    construed to require the Commission to alter the license for 
    Commission Project No. 5223-001 in any way.
  (e) Sunset.--This section shall remain in effect until the 
International Joint Commission review of and decision on the Steering 
Committee's recommendations are completed. (Energy and Water Development 
Appropriations Act, 1996.)
