    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.
