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.

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.
