                     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 appropriation was established by Congress as part of the 1993 
Energy and Water Development Appropriation (P.L. 102-377) in lieu of 
payment from the Department of Energy into the Nuclear Waste Fund for 
activities related to the disposal of defense high-level waste.

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

    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

    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.

    This account provides full budget authority to complete useful 
segments of all new and on-going construction projects supporting the 
Department of Energy's general science and research activities, as 
opposed to the traditional practice of requesting incremental budget 
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

    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.

    This account provides full budget authority to complete useful 
segments of all new and on-going construction projects supporting the 
Department of Energy's energy supply research and development 
activities, as opposed to the traditional practice of requesting 
incremental budget authority annually throughout the life of the 
project.

    Solar and Renewable Energy Program.--The $2.2 million of asset 
funding will support phase 3 of the Field Test Laboratory Building 
Renovation and Expansion project. Phase 3 is the design and construction 
of a 278 square meter building addition for high-bay research 
laboratories to support research activities related to converting 
renewable energy resources to higher-value fuels and chemicals.

    Nuclear Energy and Uranium Programs.--Asset funding will support 
fire and safety upgrades of the Test Reactor Area (TRA) complex at the 
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.

Policy Act (Public Law 102-486, section 901), including the acquisition 
or condemnation of any real property or any facility or for plant or 
facility acquisition, construction, or expansion; purchase of 
electricity as necessary; and the purchase of passenger motor vehicles 
(not to exceed 3 for replacement only); $43,200,000, to remain available 
until expended: Provided That revenues received by the Department for 
uranium programs and estimated to total $42,200,000 in fiscal year 1997 
shall be retained and used for the specific purpose of offsetting costs

    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.

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

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

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

    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

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.

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.
    (v) Public Review.--Upon completion of the review of projects to be 
funded through BPA's annual fish and wildlife budget, the Peer Review 
Groups shall submit its findings to the Panel. The Panel shall analyze 
the information submitted by the Peer Review Groups and submit 
recommendations on project priorities to the Council. The Council shall 
make the Panel's findings available to the public and subject to public 
comment.
    (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 
the Panel and other appropriate entities, shall be responsible for 
making the final recommendations of projects to be funded through BPA's 
annual fish and wildlife budget.
    (vii) Cost Limitation.--The cost of this provision shall not exceed 
$2,000,000 in 1997 dollars.
