                         THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1998

    [[Page 453]]

                              DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

        The Department of Energy's 1998 budget request for discretionary
    authority of $19.2 billion is $2.7 billion above its 1997 level. Nearly
    all of the increase ($2.3 billion) above 1997 is the result of two
    changes in how construction projects are financed. The first increase is
    a result of how the funds for DOE construction projects are requested.
    Starting in the 1998 budget DOE will adopt procedures currently used in
    many other agencies that require full up front funding of construction
    projects rather than requesting the funds incrementally each year. The
    change requires that $1.6 billion in budget authority be added to the
    1998 request. This will have no effect on how the Department executes
    its spending programs. Another increase ($0.7 billion) results from the
    $1 billion 1998 request for the Environmental Management privatization
    program started by the Congress in 1997. For these projects, DOE
    contracts with private parties who construct facilities to deliver
    cleanup services in later years when DOE will pay for the services.
    Privatization should speed up completion of these projects, ultimately
    reducing their overall costs. Although the privatization funds are
    required to proceed with the contracts, outlays will not result until
    later fiscal years when the private sector delivers the services. Except
    for these two areas, all other DOE programs total $16.6 billion in 1998,
    a $0.4 billion increase over the 1997 level.

        Weapons activities.--This program includes the following activities:
            Stockpile Stewardship.--This activity provides for the research,
        development, and engineering activities 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 the
        Nevada Test Site, 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.

    [[Page 454]]

            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 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 for storage, handling, shipping, safeguarding, control
        and accountability, and disposition for defense programs nuclear
        materials located at former Defense Programs' facilities.
            Weapons Program Direction.--This activity provides personnel and
        contractual services for the Federal management, direction, and the
        administration of selected Defense Programs' missions.

        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 1998 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 treatment, storage and disposal of various waste types
        including high-level, transuranic, low-level, mixed low-level,
        hazardous and sanitary wastes in compliance with applicable local,
        State, and Federal requirements and internal Department of Energy
        requirements.
            Technology Development.--Conducts technology development
        activities which focus on the Department's major environmental
        management issues while involving the DOE's best talent and that of
        the national (public and private) science and engineering
        communities; develop and furnish in conjunction with the
        Environmental Management (EM) customer programs, innovative
        technologies to reduce risk to workers, the public, and the
        environment, reduce cleanup costs; and/or provide solutions that do
        not exist to current problems shared by multiple sites. The
        Technology Development program is critical to achieving EM cleanup
        goals through (1) contributing technologies that enable completion
        and (2) through savings that can be redirected to other cleanup
        projects. As the pace of cleanup accelerates, the return on
        investment in Technology Development will multiply rapidly.
            Environmental Science Program.--Responsible for establishing,
        managing and directing a targeted long-term basic research agenda
        for Environmental Management problems so that ``transformational''
        or breakthrough approaches will lead to significantly reduced long-
        term cleanup costs and risks to workers and the public; ``bridging
        the gap'' between broad fundamental research such as that performed
        in DOE's Office of Energy Research, and needs driven applied
        technology development which has been historically supported by
        Environmental Management; and serving as a stimuli for focusing the
        nation's science infrastructure on critical environmental management
        problems. In addition, the Office is responsible for developing risk
        policy, requirements and guidance to ensure that risk analysis
        theory and processes are integrated into coherent decision making
        processes. The goals of these processes must be to meet Departmental
        missions while protecting public health, worker health and safety,
        ecosystem viability, and cultural and national resources through
        integrated risk analysis practices addressing technical, legal and
        social elements.
            Nuclear Material and Facility Stabilization.--Manage a national
        program to stabilize and safeguard excess nuclear materials,
        currently stored in various forms and locations, to reduce the
        potential risks posed to workers and the public. Provide the means
        to achieve cost savings and efficiencies through deactivation of
        surplus facilities which results in lower costs of maintaining
        facilities awaiting decontamination and decommissioning. Provide
        interim storage and stewardship of nuclear materials, including
        spent nuclear fuel, awaiting ultimate disposition. Support the
        Nation's nonproliferation goals and policies through the receipt and
        management of foreign research reactor spent nuclear fuel. Provide
        policy direction for landlord planning and budgeting, including
        reducing site infrastructure costs and managing workforce
        restructuring. Manage the national Transportation Management program
        and the national Pollution Prevention program and provide 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 overall direction,
        planning and management of the EM program and support of
        crosscutting functions such as public accountability, finance,
        information management and strategic planning.
            EM Program Direction.--Provides salaries and benefits, travel
        and other contractual support costs for the Federal workforce at
        Headquarters and in the field which support the Environmental
        Management Program.
            EM Privatization.--EM privatization will be funded under the
        Defense EM Privatization Appropriation.
            Fixed Assets.--Full funding of construction projects is included
        in the Defense Asset Acquisition Account.
            EM will continue to improve the efficiency of its programs
        through a variety of management and contracting strategies. In
        addition to privatization efforts, emphasis will continue on the
        reduction of support costs and implementation of performance-based
        contracts.
            EM is developing a Ten Year Plan to accelerate and complete a
        substantial amount of the cleanup of the EM complex within the next
        ten years. To achieve this goal, each EM site is establishing
        projects with clearly defined ``end-states'' to clean up wastes,
        facilities, and materials. Once the Ten Year Plan process is well
        underway, outyear funding for this program will be re-examined.
            EM has adopted seven principles to guide its day-to-day
        operations and the development of the Ten Year Plan: (1) Eliminate
        the most urgent risks; (2) Reduce mortgage and support costs to free
        up resources for further risk reductions; (3) Protect worker health
        and safety; (4) Reduce the generation of waste; (5) Create a
        collaborative relationship between DOE and its regulators and
        stakeholders; (6) Focus technology development on cost and risk
        reduction; (7) Integrate waste treatment and disposal across sites.

            Environmental Management Privatization.--Provides funding
        necessary to proceed with privatization of various DOE environmental
        management projects that will treat some of DOE's most contaminated
        soil and highly radioactive waste, as well as deactivate
        contaminated nuclear facilities that cost excessive amounts of money
        to maintain. This new approach to cleanup relies on the private
        sector to construct and operate facilities or proceed with cleanup
        actions on a fixed-price, fee-for-service basis. These competitively
        awarded projects are expected to save approximately 30 percent or
        more over the life-cycle of the projects, when compared to DOE's
        traditional approach of designing, constructing and operating a
        government-owned facility. Funds in this account will allow DOE to
        enter into these contracts and assures private investors that funds
        will be available to pay for services once the facilities are built.

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

    [[Page 457]]

            Nonproliferation and National Security.--The Department's
        Nonproliferation and National Security activities consist of the
        following areas: Nonproliferation and Verification, Research and
        Development, Arms Control and Nonproliferation, Intelligence,
        Nuclear Safeguards and Security, Security Investigations, Emergency
        Management and Program Direction. These activities provide policy,
        direction, technology development and implementation, and leadership
        in national and international efforts to reduce the danger to U.S.
        national security posed by weapons of mass destruction. Key mission
        areas are: (1) preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction
        materials, technology, and expertise; (2) detecting the
        proliferation of weapons of mass destruction world wide; (3)
        reversing the proliferation of nuclear weapons capabilities; and (4)
        responding to weapons of mass destruction emergencies.
            Fissile Materials Disposition.--The Fissile Materials
        Disposition Program is responsible for the Department's technical
        and management efforts to provide for the safe, secure,
        environmentally sound future storage of all weapons-usable fissile
        materials (high enriched uranium and plutonium) and the disposition
        of all fissile materials declared surplus to national defense needs.
        Preparations have begun to dispose of surplus weapons high enriched
        uranium, over time, by blending it down to low enriched uranium for
        peaceful use as commercial reactor fuel. In addition, DOE will
        reduce the number of locations where weapons-usable fissile
        materials are stored and will pursue a plutonium disposition
        strategy that could involve both immobilization in glass or ceramic
        form and burning of surplus plutonium as mixed oxide fuel in
        existing reactors. Over the next two years, DOE will complete tests,
        process development, demonstrations, environmental reviews and
        detailed cost proposals for both disposition approaches. Near term
        efforts also involve implementation of consolidated long-term
        storage, pending disposition, for those materials; designing and
        demonstrating a system to disassemble plutonium weapons components
        and convert the plutonium to forms suitable for long-term storage
        and either disposition approach; and cooperative activities with
        Russia on plutonium disposition technologies.
            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 workforce restructuring including preference in hiring,
        outplacement assistance, relocation assistance, and incentives for
        early retirement or separation. This program also provides impact
        assistance to local communities.
            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
        nuclear-powered fleet defense requirements. During 1998, the program
        expects to reach 4,800 cumulative reactor-years of safe operation,
        and will continue to support and improve operating reactors and
        plant components. In addition, the program will continue to develop
        nuclear reactor plant components and systems for the Navy's new
        attack submarine, procure equipment needs for development and
        testing activities, and maintain or shut down aging facilities as
        appropriate. In 1998, inactivation will continue on six of the
        program's eight land-based prototypes which have been shut down.
            Intenational Nuclear Safety and Security.--The International
        Nuclear Safety decision unit supports management and operational
        safety improvements, engineering and technology upgrades, and
        encourages development and continuation of a U.S. equivalent nuclear
        safety culture at Soviet-designed reactor sites in Russia, Ukraine,
        and Central and Eastern Europe; continues to address safety and
        nonproliferation concerns related to breeder reactors and spent fuel
        management in countries of the former Soviet Union; supports tasks
        related to securing the closure of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant
        and addressing the ultimate disposition of Chernobyl's Unit-4; and
        continues efforts at Argonne National Laboratory-West to complete
        demonstration of the electrometallurgical technology for treatment
        of EBR-II spent fuel and other DOE spent fuel types.
            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 Radiation Effects Research Foundation support. 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.

        This account provides budget authority necessary to complete useful
    segments of all new and ongoing construction projects supporting
    National Defense programs in the Department of Energy, as opposed to the
    traditional practice of requesting incremental budget authority annually
    throughout the life of the projects.

        Defense Programs.--Provides budget authority in FY 1998 for all new
    and ongoing construction projects which support the stockpile
    stewardship and management programs managed by the Office of Defense
    Programs. The largest project is the National Ignition Facility, an
    inertial fusion facility to be located at the Lawrence Livermore
    National Laboratory. This project accounts for about two-thirds of the
    total budget request for Defense Programs fixed asset funding. Other
    continuing projects include the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic
    Facility at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Contained Firing
    Facility Addition at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
    Proposed new projects include the Stockpile Management Restructuring
    Initiative projects at various locations.

        Naval Reactors.--Provides requested funding in FY 1998 for all new
    and ongoing construction projects which support the mission of the
    Office of Naval Reactors.

        Environmental Management.--Provides for refurbishing or replacing
    inadequate facilities and infrastructure to meet modern environmental
    compliance requirements. Support is provided to multiple Environmental
    Management sites and installations for waste management and nuclear
    materials management functions. In waste management, fixed asset funding
    will support projects, including upgrades to hazardous/radioactive tank
    farm systems at the Savannah River and Hanford sites, landfill
    construction at Oak Ridge, construction of the initial tank retrieval
    system for high level waste at the Hanford site, removal of high level
    waste from tanks at Savannah River, construction of a new hazardous
    waste treatment and processing facility at the Pantex Plant and
    construction of a decontamination and waste treatment facility at
    Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In the nuclear material and
    facility stabilization program, funding will support projects, such as
    spent nuclear fuel dry storage at Idaho National Engineering Laboratory,
    a plutonium stabilization handling system for the Plutonium Finishing
    Plant at the Hanford site, construction of an actinide packaging and
    storage facility at Savannah River, a spent nuclear fuel

    [[Page 459]]

    canister storage and stabilization facility at Hanford, and utility
    system upgrades at Idaho National Engineering Laboratory.

        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 experimental research
    involves the study of collisions of energetic particles using large
    particle accelerators or colliding beam facilities.

        Research in 1998 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 1998 high energy physics budget request 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, $35
    million, an increase of $20 million, is provided for the Department's FY
    1998 contribution to U.S. participation in the Large Hadron Collider
    (LHC) project at CERN. An advance appropriation of $394 million is
    requested for the LHC project for FY 1999 through FY 2004. This
    financing will allow DOE to meet its obligations to the LHC, as outlined
    under the international agreement to be signed in the summer of 1997.

        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 FY 1998 request provides $48 million
    to continue the fabrication of BaBar, the detector for the B-Factory,
    and the upgrades of the two detectors at Fermilab, CDF and D-Zero, a
    $12.4 million increase over the 1997 enacted level.

        Superconducting Super Collider.--The Department will continue the
    orderly termination of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) in 1998,
    as directed by Congress in the 1994 Energy and Water Development
    Appropriations Act. No additional funding for such activities is
    requested in 1998. Due to the efficiency of the SSC termination, $15
    million in unobligated balances will be transferred to reduce the FY
    1998 Energy Supply R&D appropriation request.

        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 1998, 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 TJNAF/CEBAF experimental program began in FY 1996 and will
    continue in FY 1998 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

    [[Page 460]]

    in 1998. 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.

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

    authority annually throughout the life of the project.

        The High Energy and Nuclear Physics programs request funding for
    advanced accelerator and detector facilities that are required to
    conduct forefront physics research. In High Energy Physics, budget
    authority of $31.0 million is requested to complete the Fermilab Main
    Injector Project, and $9.4 million to complete the SLAC Master
    Substation Upgrade, both in FY 1998. A total of $5.5 million is also
    requested for engineering design of the Neutrinos at the Main Infector
    project, and $5.0 million for construction of the C0 detector hall at
    Fermilab. Nuclear Physics requests budget authority of $76.0 million to
    complete the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collidor.

        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, and capital
    equipment 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 1998 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 1998 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: working with industry to develop reliable
    and efficient power tower and dish/engine systems, while reducing the
    costs of these emerging technologies and existing parabolic trough
    systems; (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 power
    and biofuels production costs, and to develop high-efficiency
    thermochemical and biochemical conversion technologies. In addition to
    these specific technologies, the FY 1998 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), and (2)
    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. DOE leads the national effort to capture the
    energy-saving potential of high-temperature superconductivity. A key
    element of the effort is the Superconductivity Partnership Initiative,
    an industry-DOE collaborative effort intended to speed the
    commercialization of superconductivity products. Energy Storage is
    focused on battery energy storage for use by utilities. In the Hydrogen
    program, R&D efforts have accelerated the reduction of hydrogen
    production costs, increased the capabilities of hydrogen storage, and
    demonstrated the benefits of using hydrogen by integrating advanced
    technologies.

        Nuclear Fission.--The FY 1998 request includes funds to closeout the
    remaining Advanced Light Water Reactor (ALWR) activities. The nuclear
    energy program will undertake a new initiative which will emphasize
    research and development activities in areas affecting U.S. nuclear
    plant safety, reliability, and performance improvement; applying DOE-
    developed technologies to reduce the storage, transportation and
    repository cost of spent nuclear fuel in the United States; and removing
    spent fuel from university reactors and assist universities in
    conducting facility cleanups.

        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. The Isotope Support decision unit will continue
    to ensure adequate supplies of isotopes which are in the National
    interest.

        Uranium Programs.--In FY 1998, Uranium Programs is a new decision
    unit in this account. These programs were previously funded in the
    Uranium Supply and Enrichment Account. This program includes: (1)
    leading efforts to increase confidence that the low enriched uranium
    being purchased by the United States from Russia has been derived from
    high enriched uranium removed from dismantled Russian nuclear weapons;
    (2) managing the Department's continuing responsibilities related to
    gaseous diffusion plants and representing the Department's interests in
    transactions with the United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC); (3)
    developing effective and efficient means of using and/or disposing of
    depleted uranium; and (4) selling excess DOE-owned uranium.

        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 1998 budget request for the Office of Environment, Safety and
    Health reflects these priorities. It is important

    [[Page 462]]

    to note that the budget request for the Office of Environment, Safety
    and Health programs is contained in two accounts: this and Other Defense
    Activities. The funding in this account supports Technical Assistance,
    National Environmental Policy Act program, Health Studies, Management
    and Administration, and Program Direction.

        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 1998 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. Funding for the Human Genome Program is provided to
    allow for high throughput human DNA sequencing. Funding is provided to
    begin operation 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 was 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 $225 million provides for support of basic
    research in plasma science, plasma containment research, and
    investigation of tokamak alternatives, along with continued operation of
    DIII-D and Alcator C-Mod. The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) will be
    shut down in FY 1997 with remaining staff collaborating on other
    machines both domestically and internationally. Fabrication of the NSTX
    experiment at PPPL will continue. The FY 1998 budget provides for
    completion of the U.S. participation in the International Thermonuclear
    Experimental Reactor (ITER) Engineering and Design Activity. 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.
            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 operating
        large national user research facilities, including 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, energy
        biosciences, engineering 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 1998 BES budget request includes continued support to
        maintain utilization of the Department's large state-of-the-art
        science facilities. The proposed funding will maintain 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. Research areas that will benefit from the facilities funding
        include structural biology, materials science, superconductor
        technology, and medical research and technology development.
            In addition, the BES request includes $23 million in FY 1998 to
        support research and development and Pre-Title I activities at Oak
        Ridge National Laboratory for the National Spallation Neutron Source
        to meet the Nation's neutron scattering needs. The request also
        includes funding for an instrumentation enhancement of the
        Department's neutron source at LANSCE.
            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.--This program was terminated
        in FY 1997 at the direction of the Congress.
            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, replac-

    [[Page 463]]

        ing or demolishing deficient common-use utilities, roads, and
        buildings and to correct ES&H deficiencies at the multiprogram
        laboratories. Funding for this program is requested in the Energy
        Assets Acquisition account.
            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 FY 1998 budget request includes $35 million for the
        ``Next Generation Internet'' Initiative.

        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. EM is proposing
        to accelerate the cleanup at the Formerly Used Sites Remedial Action
        Program (FUSRAP) sites. An additional $99 million is requested and
        will permit the significant completion of the existing FUSRAP sites
        by FY 2002, four years ahead of the current schedule.
            Waste Management.--Provides for the safe, effective, and
        efficient management of wastes generated by Energy Supply Research
        and Development funded activities, through treatment, storage and
        disposal of various waste types including high-level, transuranic,
        low-level, mixed low-level, hazardous, or sanitary wastes in
        compliance with applicable local, State and Federal requirements and
        internal Department of Energy requirements.
            Nuclear Material and Facility Stabilization.--Manage a national
        program to stabilize and safeguard excess nuclear materials,
        currently stored in various forms and locations, to reduce the
        potential risks posed to workers and the public. Provide the means
        to achieve cost savings and efficiencies through deactivation of
        surplus facilities which results in lower costs of maintaining
        facilities awaiting decontamination and decommissioning. Provide
        interim storage and stewardship of nuclear materials, including
        spent nuclear fuel, awaiting ultimate disposition. Manage the
        national Transportation Management program and the national
        Pollution Prevention program and provide leadership for crosscutting
        issues raised by the field and/or Headquarters, as well as serving
        as an advocate for the field at Headquarters.
            Fixed Assets.--Funding of construction projects is included in
        the Energy Assets Acquisition account.
            Policy and management.--Provides executive direction, management
        assistance, and administrative support to all programs within energy
        supply activities.

        Multiprogram Operations.--This account funds the Department's
    multiprogram Field Operations Offices. 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 employees
    conduct the management oversight of approximately 56,800 management and
    operating contractor employees spread across the four field
    installations.

    Idaho National Energy Laboratory and the construction of cylinder
    storage yards to provide safe storage of depleted uranium hexafluoride
    at the Paducah and Oak Ridge gaseous diffusion plants. Budget authority
    of $10,850,000 will fully fund remaining TRA landlord project
    requirements; budget authority of $22.3 million will fully fund
    requirements for the two cylinder yard projects.

        Energy Research.--Asset funding is requested for two Energy Research
    programs. The Multiprogram Energy Laboratory Facilities Support program
    funds the refurbishment or replacement of inadequate general purpose
    facilities and infrastructure that support research needs. Budget
    authority of $40.3 million is requested to fully fund the completion of
    five on-going projects and one new project at Argonne National
    Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National
    Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest
    National Laboratory. An additional $11.0 million in budget authority is
    requested to fully fund the completion of the Combustion Research
    Facility in the Basic Energy Sciences program.

        Environmental Management.--Provides funding for refurbishing or
    replacing inadequate facilities and infrastructure to meet environmental
    requirements at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the Idaho
    National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). Specifically, funding will
    support needed upgrades and construction of waste handling facilities at
    ORNL and storage capacity for spent nuclear fuel at INEL.

        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 1998 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 1998, 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 Power Systems, (2) Advanced Fuels Research, and
    (3) Advanced Research and Technology Development continues to address
    technology development.

        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, and Advanced Research & Environmental Technology.

        Oil and gas.--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 emphasizes enhanced gas production, storage technology, and high
    efficiency, low NOx turbines.

        As in all other programs, industry and Gas Research Institute cost-
    sharing is a key feature. Advanced computational work and the national
    laboratory partnership focus 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.

    [[Page 466]]

        Consistent with Congressional direction, the FY 1998 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.

        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 Federal Energy
    Technology Center Morgantown Office (formerly the Morgantown Energy
    Technology Center) to eliminate cross-connections between sewer and
    storm water lines, and at the Federal Energy Technology Center
    Pittsburgh Office (formerly the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center) to
    clean up contaminated soil and monitor groundwater. In addition, as a
    result of internal DOE evaluations other efforts are underway at both
    sites of the Federal Energy Technology Center 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 and protect 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. Payments to the State of California for the
    California State Teachers' Retirement System are included in the
    President's Budget beginning in FY 1999, in settlement of a long-
    standing claim by the state regarding certain Elk Hills lands.

        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 commer-

    [[Page 467]]

    cial, 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. The asset sale
    proceeds estimate included in the Budget is consistent with the FY 1997
    Budget estimate and is not based on any newly developed geologic data or
    evaluations being carried out by independent experts. When this updated
    information becomes available, the estimate is likely to change.

        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 consumers and businesses over $10 billion per year by the year
    2005. Energy efficiency programs for industry are projected to save U.S.
    firms over $3 billion annually by the year 2000. Our transportation
    technologies research is designed to reduce oil imports thereby
    substantially reducing the cost of imported oil.

        The activities and programs contained in the 1998 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.

        Building, State and Community Sector.--In fiscal year 1998, 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

    [[Page 468]]

    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. The program to develop appliance and lighting test procedures
    and standards is utilizing new collaborative processes and analytical
    approaches in order to ensure participation by all interested
    stakeholders. The program to encourage building efficiency codes and
    standards will focus on expanded voluntary programs. The State and Local
    Partnership Program, which includes the Weatherization Assistance
    Program and the State Energy Program (a consolidated program including
    the former State Energy Conservation Program and the Institutional
    Conservation 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 1998 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 FY 1998 program focuses on funding cost-
    shared research in critical technology areas identified by industry.
    Through its ``Industries of the Future'' initiative, the Office of
    Industrial Technologies (OIT) encourages the most energy-intensive
    industries to develop a strategic vision and a ``technology roadmap'' to
    help achieve that vision. By identifying and prioritizing their
    technology needs, the industries help OIT target its R&D resources
    toward where they can do the most good. The seven energy-intensive and
    environmentally sensitive industries targeted by OIT include chemicals,
    petroleum refining, forest products, steel, aluminum, metal casting, and
    glass. The focus is on high risk but promising technologies that
    decrease these industries' use of raw materials and depletable energy
    resources and reduce generation of wastes and pollutants. OIT's
    Industries of the Future R&D portfolio is balanced with crosscutting
    technology development programs in such areas as cogeneration, advanced
    materials and combustion. In addition, technology access programs such
    as Motor Challenge, the National Industrial Competitiveness through
    Energy, Environment and Economics (NICE3) program, Climate Wise,
    Invention and Innovation and the Industrial Assessment Centers help
    further round out OIT's overall portfolio.

        Transportation Sector.--The FY 1998 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 advanced 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 continuing support for
    the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium and demonstrating continued
    progress in improving range and performance for electric and hybrid
    vehicles.

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

        The object of this program is to reduce the vulnerability of the
    United States to energy supply disruptions by maintaining a crude oil
    stockpile capable of rapid deployment at the direction of the President.
    This program enables the President to meet the Nation's membership
    commitments within the International Energy Agency's coordinated energy
    emergency response plans and programs to deter the use of energy supply
    disruptions and to take effective, co-ordinated action should such an
    energy supply disruption occur.

        The account provides for petroleum reserve storage facility
    construction, ongoing operations and maintenance activities, planning
    studies, and program administration.

        The key measure of program performance is expressed as capability to
    comply with Level 1 Performance Criteria. These criteria are specific
    engineered performance and reliability standards applied to critical
    inventory storage, drawdown, and distribution systems required for
    drawing down and distributing crude oil inventory. Output measures for
    1998 include:

         Annual drawdown readiness exercises--5.

         Percent of Life Extension Program under contract--89
    percent.

         Projected Maintenance Backlog--12-16 craft weeks.

         Oil available for drawdown--563 MMB.

         Drawdown capability--3.7 MMB/day.

    injection of petroleum into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and for its
    drawdown and distribution. The budget proposes no additional
    appropriations in 1998 for SPR oil purchases. The small remaining
    balance will support drawdown/distribution readiness and the incremental
    costs of drawdown in the event of an energy emergency.

        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

        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 1998 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
    1998, these businesses will pay fees and charges sufficient to fully
    offset the cost of the Commission's operations.

    [[Page 472]]

        Natural gas and oil.--The Commission is responsible for the
    regulation of 150 natural gas pipeline companies and 130 common carrier
    oil pipelines including the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. The Commission
    issues certificates authorizing natural gas pipelines to construct and
    operate new facilities and to provide new services; determines just and
    reasonable rates for the interstate transportation of natural gas and
    oil on the pipelines subject to the Commission's jurisdiction; and
    authorizes tariff provisions, as appropriate, to allow the gas and oil
    pipelines to adjust their services to meet their customers' needs and
    the pipelines' needs to meet competition in their markets. The
    Commission has and will continue to develop creative and flexible
    pricing policies and new and innovative services to address the changing
    competitive marketplace in both the gas and oil industries. While
    working to assure the industries are able to meet their service
    requirements by staying economically healthy, the Commission will
    continue to assure that environmental concerns from construction
    projects are properly addressed and that the public interest is
    protected when new services or pricing mechanisms are authorized.

        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
    nearly $6 million in revenues to the U.S. Treasury in 1996.

        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. The fund is no longer in operation, and has been
    closed pursuant to 31 U.S.C. 1555. 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 1998.

        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 domestic 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 the program's existing domestic 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.

        An advance appropriation of $50 million is requested to initiate
    support of an international clean coal technology program. The funds
    appropriated would become available at the start of fiscal year 1999.
    The project will apply U.S. integrated, coal gasification combined cycle
    technology in the People's Republic of China to introduce advanced, high
    efficiency, clean coal technology in the production of much needed
    electricity. China's rapidly expanding economy depends on coal to supply
    about three-quarters of its total energy needs.

        The Department is proposing a rescission of $153 million from the
    program in FY 1998. The proposed rescission would reduce the total
    amount appropriated from $2.425 billion to $2.272 billion. The source of
    funding for these proposals are funds available in the cost overrun
    reserve and are available from canceled and or savings from restructured
    projects.

        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

    [[Page 474]]

    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 received Federal Energy
    Regulatory Commission final approval in December 1994 for its settlement
    agreement. On December 18, 1996 initial FERC approval was granted for
    the remaining three pipeline companies in FERC Opinion 410. One of the
    remaining three pipelines which purchases 30 percent of the plant's
    output of synthetic natural gas has declared that effective December 31,
    1996 it's settlement is final.

        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. As directed by Public Law 104-206, the Program will complete by
    September 1998 an assessment of the viability of licensing and
    constructing a geologic repository at the Yucca Mountain site. This
    viability assessment will consist of four components that will include:
    (1) the preliminary design concept for the critical components for the
    repository and waste package; (2) a total system performance assessment,
    based upon the design concept and the scientific data and analysis
    available by September 30, 1998, describing the probable behavior of the
    repository in the Yucca Mountain geological setting relative to the
    overall system performance standards; (3) a plan and cost estimate for
    the remaining work to complete a license application; and (4) an
    estimate of costs to construct and operate the repository in accordance
    with the design concept. The completion of the constituent elements of
    the viability assessment constitute a logical convergence at which the
    Program can make a measurably improved appraisal of the prospects for
    geological disposal at the Yucca Mountain site. The assessment is an
    interim step in the process leading to a site recommendation to the
    President and to a license application that would be submitted to the
    Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Consistent with the Conference Report to
    the FY 1997 Energy and Water Appropriations, the activities that support
    the viability assessment will be conducted in accordance with the draft
    Civilian Radioactive Waste Management Program Plan, Revision 1.

        The outyear funding for this account for fiscal years 2000-2002 does
    not reflect the impact of the 1998 viability assessment of Yucca
    Mountain.

        The Alaska Power Administration (APA) 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.

        On November 28, 1995, the Alaska Power Administration Asset Sale and
    Termination Act (Public Law 104-58) was signed into law. 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. This request provides necessary funding for
    operations and maintenance activities until the asset transfers take
    place in fiscal year 1998.

        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 $154 million for fiscal year 1996 and
        are estimated to be $168 million for fiscal year 1997 and $188
        million for fiscal year 1998.
            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. After
        FY 1998, SEPA customers will pay wheeling fees directly to
        transmission suppliers.

        Starting in FY 1998, the Southeastern Power Administration will set
    rates, consistent with current law, to begin to recover the full cost of
    the Civil Service Retirement System and Post-Retirement Health Benefits
    for its employees that have not been recovered in the past. The
    estimated increase in receipts to the Treasury is $3 million annually.

        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 46 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 $81 million were deposited
    in the Treasury in 1996. Estimated proprietary receipts in the amount of
    $93 million in 1997 and $94 million in 1998 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 1998, the reimbursable program primarily
    provides for operation and maintenance, construction, and power and
    energy services.

        Starting in FY 1998, the Southwestern Power Administration will set
    rates, consistent with current law, to begin to recover the full cost of
    the Civil Service Retirement System and Post-Retirement Health Benefits
    for its employees that have not been recovered in the past. The
    estimated increase in receipts to the Treasury is $2 million annually.

        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 16,850 circuit-miles of high-voltage
    transmission lines and 258 substations/switchyards, and constructs
    additions and modifications to existing facilities.

        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, other costs allocated to power,
    and the capital investment in power facilities, with interest.

        Systems operation and maintenance.--A total of 13 power systems will
    be operated and maintained.

        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.

        Purchase of power and wheeling.--The program provides for firming
    energy purchases and wheeling necessary to meet current power sale
    contractual commitments. Financing of this program consists of annual
    appropriated financing and non-appropriated financing (net billing, bill
    crediting Federal reimbursable, and non-Federal customer advances).

        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 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.

        Starting in FY 1998, the Western Area Power Administration will set
    rates, consistent with current law, to begin to recover the full cost of
    the Civil Service Retirement System and Post-Retirement Health Benefits
    for its employees that have not been recovered in the past. The
    estimated increase in receipts to the Treasury is $8 million annually.

        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.

    Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995, Western Area Power Administration is
    requesting $1,065,000 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. Revenues resulting from the Falcon and Amistad dams power
    system operations are deposited to the Falcon and Amistad operating and
    maintenance fund.

    Public enterprise funds:

                      Bonneville Power Administration Fund

        Expenditures from the Bonneville Power Administration Fund,
    established pursuant to Public Law 93-454, are approved for Columbia
    River Basin fisheries production, supplementation facilities, and for
    official reception and representation expenses in an amount not to
    exceed $3,000.
        During fiscal year [1997] 1998, no new direct loan obligations may
    be made. (Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, 1997.)

        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 1998 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: Transmission Services Business Line.--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 1998.

        Power Business Line.--Provides for the planning, contractual
    acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective resources. These
    resources are needed to serve BPA's portion of the region's forecasted
    net electric load requirements. 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 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 generation projects, and amortization on the
    U.S. Bureau of Reclamation capital investment in power generating
    facilities and irrigation assistance at Bureau facilities. Also 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 and for activities of
    the Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council
    required by the Pacific Northwest Power Act.

        Energy Efficiency.--Provides for the planning, contractual
    acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective conservation.

        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.

        Capital Investments: Transmission Services Business Line.--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. 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.

        Power Business Line.--Provides for direct funding of additions,
    improvements, and replacements at existing Federal hydroelectric
    projects in the Northwest. Also 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.

    [[Page 483]]

        Energy Efficiency.--Provides for the planning, contractual
    acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective conservation.

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

        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 1998 capital
    obligations are estimated to be $253 million. To the extent BPA capital
    borrowing authority is insufficient in 1998, BPA would use cash reserves
    generated by revenues from customers, if available, to finance some of
    these investments.

        In FY 1996, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $801 million and
    also expects to make payments of $791 million in 1997 and $805 million
    in 1998. The 1998 payment will be distributed as follows: U.S. Army
    Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service O&M ($111 million),
    interest on bonds and appropriations ($466 million), and amortization
    ($228 million).

        Direct loans.--During FY 1998, no new direct loan obligations may be
    made.

        Operating results.--Total revenues are forecast at approximately
    $3.3 billion in 1998.

        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.

        Starting in FY 1998 BPA will begin to fully recover, from the sale
    of electric power and transmission, funds sufficient to cover the full
    cost of Civil Service Retirement System and Post-Retirement Health
    Benefits for their employees. The entire cost of BPA employees working
    under the Federal Employees Retirement System is already fully recovered
    in wholesale electric power and transmission rates.

        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. In FY 1997 and FY 1998, the
    compensation and related expenses for all these activities are
    quantified 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.

        Starting in FY 1998, the Colorado River Basins Power Marketing Fund
    will set rates, consistent with current law, to begin to recover the
    full cost of the Civil Service Retirement System and Post-Retirement
    Health Benefits for its employees that have not been recovered in the
    past. The estimated increase in receipts to the Treasury is $1 million
    annually.

        In FY 1997, and continuing in FY 1998, the Department established 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 con-

    sumers perceived as ``free.'' Establishment of the working capital fund
    has helped 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.

    have a clearly defined objective and outcome with provisions for
    monitoring and evaluation of results. The Panel, with assistance from
    the Peer Review Groups, shall review, on an annual basis, the results of
    prior year expenditures based upon these criteria and submit its
    findings to the Council for its review.

        (vi) Responsibilities of the Council.--The Council shall fully
    consider the recommendations of the Panel when making its final
    recommendations of projects to be funded through BPA's annual fish and
    wildlife budget, and if the Council does not incorporate a
    recommendation of the Panel, the Council shall explain in writing its
    reasons for not accepting Panel recommendations. In making its
    recommendations to BPA, the Council shall consider the impact of ocean
    conditions on fish and wildlife populations and shall determine whether
    the projects employ cost-effective measures to achieve program
    objectives. The Council, after consideration of the recommendations of

    making the final recommendations of projects to be funded through BPA's
    annual fish and wildlife budget.
