        This appropriation provides funds for audit and investigative
    functions to identify and recommend corrective actions on management and
    administrative deficiencies that create the conditions for existing or
    potential instances of fraud, waste, and mismanagement. The fiscal year
    1998 request makes these funds available for two years. Additional funds
    for audit and investigative activities associated with the Superfund
    Trust Fund are appropriated under those accounts and transferred to the
    Inspector General account to allow for proper accounting. Among the
    audit functions, contract audits review the propriety and allowability
    of costs claimed or charged to EPA by prime or subcontractors. The
    Inspector General also provides professional review and recommendations
    concerning Agency contracting practices, administration and changes
    through all phases of the procurement process. Internal and performance
    audits review and evaluate all facets of Agency programs and operations,
    including the adequacy of management systems and controls. Financial
    audits review the soundness and accuracy of the financial accounting and
    reporting systems. Grant audits focus on the effectiveness and propriety
    of costs of individual projects. The investigation function provides for
    the detection and investigation of improper and illegal activities
    involving programs, personnel, and operations, including grantees and
    contractors. The Inspector General also works with Agency management to
    promote economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and the prevention of fraud
    and abuse.

        This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts,
    grants, and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement, control, and
    compliance activities and administrative activities of the operating
    programs, including activities under the Working Capital Fund.

        Air.--The air program sets standards for: ambient air quality;
    emissions of hazardous and criteria air pollutants and acid deposition
    precursors from stationary sources; prevention of significant
    deterioration of air quality; and protection of the stratospheric ozone
    layer. This also includes the indoor environments program. EPA will also
    be fulfilling its role in the President's National Action Plan for
    Climate Change.

        Water Quality.--The water quality program has as its goal the
    protection and restoration of the Nation's waters. The program relies on
    a partnership between EPA and the States to meet the goals of the Act.
    The program encompasses the following major activities: (1) developing
    water quality standards; (2) establishing technology-based effluent
    limits for industrial discharges; (3) monitoring water quality and
    developing tools to assess programs and target efforts; (4) establishing
    a more fair, flexible and effective Federal Wetlands program to enhance
    State and local wetlands protection; (5) risk-based targeting of
    abatement activities to protect important habitats and watersheds
    through geographic initiatives; (6) issuing and enforcing requirements
    of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for
    industrial and municipal sources, for which user fees will be collected
    for all EPA issued permits; (7) managing the municipal wastewater
    facilities completion/closeout of construction grants, and managing the
    State Revolving Fund programs; and, (8) managing water pollution control
    related state grants under sections 104(b)(3), 106, and 319 of the
    Federal Water Pollution Control Act.

        Drinking Water.--The safe drinking water program protects the
    Nation's drinking water supplies from contaminants. This involves: (1)
    setting national drinking water standards that protect human health; (2)
    building strong, flexible partnerships among States, Tribes, local
    governments, the public, and EPA to implement drinking water
    regulations; (3) providing better information to consumers; and (4)
    directing the Agency's activities to manage and improve ground water
    quality with emphasis on ground water protection.

        Hazardous Waste.--The hazardous waste program is designed to ensure
    that hazardous wastes are managed in a manner that protects public
    health and the environment. The program emphasizes delegation of
    authority to the States, permitting of operating and closed facilities,
    enforcement of hazardous waste regulations, and corrective action. State
    assumption of hazardous waste authorities will be encouraged through
    regulations and guidance.

        Pesticides.--EPA is responsible for protecting public health and the
    environment from unreasonable pesticide risks, taking into account the
    economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits from pesticide
    use. Major activities include: (1) review and registration of pesticide
    products; (2) developing and processing registration standards; (3)
    reregistration of pesticides as required by the 1988 amendments to the
    Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act; and, (4) developing
    guidelines to ensure the protection of pesticide workers, as well as
    assisting in the development of State plans for pesticide use that will
    protect ground water and endangered species.

        Radiation.--The radiation program develops and promulgates
    standards, regulations, and guidelines to reduce exposure from radiation
    sources. EPA will assess risks associated with high levels of naturally
    occurring radon, certify radon remediation contractors (for which a user
    fee will be collected), and provide technical assistance and guidance to
    States on radon. Also, the Agency will carry out its responsibilities
    under the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Land Withdrawal and the Energy
    Policy Acts.

        Multimedia.--The multimedia program is composed of several
    activities that cut across media programs. This involves: (1) all
    technical and legal aspects of the Agency's enforcement and compliance
    assurance efforts, including compliance assistance and incentives,
    inspections, investigations and civil judicial and administrative
    actions; (2) review of environmental impact statements (EIS) on actions
    taken by Federal agencies; (3) Federal agencies' compliance with
    statutes and regulations for pollution control; (4) the Regional funding
    of complex multimedia projects with significant State and local concerns
    due to the high risk to human health and ecosystems; and (5) the
    Agency's support to increase the capability of native Indian tribes to
    manage environmental programs.

        Toxic Substances.--The toxic substances program is responsible for
    protecting human health and the environment from unreasonable risks
    posed by chemicals. The program places a balanced emphasis on evaluation
    and control of new and existing chemicals and the reduction of exposure
    through pollution prevention. Nonregulatory approaches to obtain
    compliance are used where appropriate. The program has developed a
    comprehensive lead control strategy to examine the long-term efficacy of
    lead abatement, and to implement the requirements of Title X of the
    Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. The Program also provides
    technical assistance to implement various requirements of Title III of
    the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986

    [[Page 937]]

    relating to chemical releases, and the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990.

        Management and Support.--Funds policy studies in the management and
    support program.

        This appropriation provides funds for capitalization grants to
    States for Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs), the purpose of
    which is to make low interest loans to communities and grants to Indian
    Tribes and Native Alaska Villages to construct wastewater treatment
    infrastructure. Since 1989, the Federal government has invested
    approximately $13 billion in grants to help capitalize the 51 State
    revolving funds. With required State match, additional State
    contributions, and funds from program leveraging, funds available for
    loans total approximately $20 billion.

        Funds are also provided for capitalization grants to the new
    Drinking Water State Revolving Funds for the purpose of making low
    interest loans to public water systems and grants to Indian Tribes and
    Alaska Villages to help them comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
    These resources will allow States and others to fund both construction
    of needed infrastructure improvements for drinking water systems to
    ensure protection of public health and improve compliance with Safe
    Drinking Water Act requirements.

        In support of the U.S.-Mexico Border Environmental Plan, funds are
    provided to address the serious environmental and human health problems
    associated with untreated industrial and municipal sewage along the
    U.S.-Mexico Border, including the impoverished colonias in Texas. Funds
    are also provided to help address the significant water and wastewater
    needs of rural and Alaska Native Villages and for U.S. cities that are
    facing both exceptionally high capital needs and user charges.

        The 1996 appropriation provided the EPA Administrator with the
    authority to allow States and Indian tribes to consolidate numerous
    existing media-specific (e.g., air, water) or multimedia grants
    appropriated through this account into one or more Performance
    Partnership grants.

        EPA received authority to establish a Working Capital Fund WCF and
    was designated a franchise fund pilot under Public Law 103-356, the
    Government Management and Reform Act of 1994. EPA's WCF became
    operational in FY 1997 and includes two activities: Enterprise
    Technology Services Division's computer operations and Agency postage.
    The 1998 amount reflects only base resources and may change during the
    year as programmatic needs change. The franchise fund concept is
    intended to increase competition for government administrative services
    resulting in lower costs and higher quality. The budget requests
    permanent WCF authority to institutionalize fee-for-service as the
    mechanism to fund certain administrative services and strengthen
    customer office accountability for administrative support in carrying
    out the Agency's mission.

        This appropriation provides funds for the implementation of the
    Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
    1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities under the Working Capital
    Fund. This Act provides authority for responding to and cleaning up
    hazardous substance emergencies and cleaning up abandoned, uncontrolled
    hazardous waste sites. Legislation will be proposed to extend the taxes
    supporting the trust fund through 2007.

        Financial responsibility for the program is shared by the Federal
    and State governments as well as industry. EPA will allocate funds from
    its appropriation to other Federal agencies to carry out the Act.

        Risks to public health and the environment at uncontrolled hazardous
    waste sites qualifying for EPA's National Priorities List (NPL) are
    reduced and addressed through a process involving site assessment and
    analysis, and the design and implementation of cleanup remedies.
    Throughout this process, cleanup activities may also be supported by
    shorter-term removal actions to reduce immediate risks. NPL cleanups and
    removals are conducted and financed by EPA, private parties, or other
    Federal agencies.

        Through 1996, construction of cleanup remedies had been completed at
    a total of 410 NPL sites and 4,605 removal actions had been taken at
    3,450 sites. The 1998 request includes additional funds to honor the
    President's commitment to clean up two thirds of NPL sites by the year
    2000, and to clean up brownfields sites.

                        Selected Annual Site Cleanup Targets

        The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund, authorized
    by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, as amended
    by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, provides funds for
    responding to releases from leaking underground petroleum tanks,
    including activities under the Working Capital Fund. The Trust Fund was
    financed by a 0.1 cent a gallon tax on motor fuels, that became
    effective January 1, 1987 and expired December 31, 1995. Legislation
    will be proposed to extend this tax through September 30, 2007.

        Funds are allocated to the States through cooperative agreements to
    clean up those sites posing the greatest threat to human health and
    environment. Funds are also used for grants to non-state entities,
    including Indian Tribes, under section 8001 of the Resource Conservation
    and Recovery Act. EPA supports cleanup and enforcement programs which
    are implemented by the States.

        Risks from releases at leaking underground petroleum tanks are
    reduced and addressed by cleanup actions. To measure performance, the
    LUST program tracks the number of cleanups completed, which includes all
    sites where the State determines risks have been addressed through
    completed corrective actions. The complexity of cleanups is increasing
    due to issues such as contaminated groundwater; therefore, cleanups will
    take longer and the number of cleanups completed will slow in the near
    future. Cleanups are conducted by the State or the responsible party.
    LUST Trust Fund dollars can be used for State-lead cleanups and for
    State oversight of responsible party cleanups.

        Legislation will be proposed to expand the uses of funds from the
    Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund to include several related
    EPA programs that also address groundwater protection from underground
    sources of contamination, including the Underground Storage Tank
    Program, the Underground Injection Control Program and the Groundwater
    Protection Program. These programs will continue to be funded out of
    General Fund appropriation accounts. To minimize administrative burdens,
    an amount would be transferred from the LUST Trust Fund to the General
    Fund to reimburse the General Fund for the cost of these programs. Once
    authorizing legislation has been enacted, appropriations language will
    be transmitted to Congress. Use of funding for this purpose will not
    result in a shortage of funding for cleanups of leaking underground
    storage tanks, which remain the priority for funding from the Trust
    Fund.

    technical assistance of major inland oil spill response activities
    authorized under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended by
    the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), including activities under the
    Working Capital Fund. This involves setting oil prevention and response
    standards, initiating enforcement actions for compliance with OPA and
    Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure requirements, and directing
    response actions when appropriate. EPA also carries out research to
    improve response actions to oil spills including research on the use of
    remediation techniques such as dispersants and bioremediation. Funding
    of oil spill cleanup actions is provided through the Department of
    Transportation under the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund.
