THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1998

[[Page 453]]

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

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

Weapons activities.--This program includes the following activities:
Stockpile Stewardship.--This activity provides for the research,
development, and engineering activities to support the safety and
reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile, without underground
nuclear testing, through a science-based Stockpile Stewardship
program. The core stewardship program supports Stockpile Stewardship
by maintaining core competencies at the weapons laboratories and the
Nevada Test Site, and through research on enhanced safety and
reliability of the enduring stockpile, dismantlement techniques,
waste minimization, and pollution prevention. In addition, the core
stewardship program maintains the capability to execute an
underground nuclear test if directed by the President. Research and
development on inertial confinement fusion is also included and the
transfer of nonsensitive Defense Programs' funded technology to the
private sector is promoted.

[[Page 454]]

Stockpile Management.--This activity provides for the
maintenance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, capabilities to
modify or produce new weapons if required, lifetime surveillance of
the stockpile, and retirement and disposal of weapons and weapon
components. The Stockpile Management program also supports
activities that include maintenance of technical and operational
capabilities for responding to nuclear/radiological accidents and
incidents worldwide. A major initiative under the Stockpile
Management program is the dual-track strategy for a new tritium
source to provide tritium for the Nation's enduring nuclear weapons
stockpile. This program also provides for nuclear materials
surveillance for storage, handling, shipping, safeguarding, control
and accountability, and disposition for defense programs nuclear
materials located at former Defense Programs' facilities.
Weapons Program Direction.--This activity provides personnel and
contractual services for the Federal management, direction, and the
administration of selected Defense Programs' missions.

Environmental Management.--This program encompasses the following
defense-related activities:

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

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

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

[[Page 457]]

Nonproliferation and National Security.--The Department's
Nonproliferation and National Security activities consist of the
following areas: Nonproliferation and Verification, Research and
Development, Arms Control and Nonproliferation, Intelligence,
Nuclear Safeguards and Security, Security Investigations, Emergency
Management and Program Direction. These activities provide policy,
direction, technology development and implementation, and leadership
in national and international efforts to reduce the danger to U.S.
national security posed by weapons of mass destruction. Key mission
areas are: (1) preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction
materials, technology, and expertise; (2) detecting the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction world wide; (3)
reversing the proliferation of nuclear weapons capabilities; and (4)
responding to weapons of mass destruction emergencies.
Fissile Materials Disposition.--The Fissile Materials
Disposition Program is responsible for the Department's technical
and management efforts to provide for the safe, secure,
environmentally sound future storage of all weapons-usable fissile
materials (high enriched uranium and plutonium) and the disposition
of all fissile materials declared surplus to national defense needs.
Preparations have begun to dispose of surplus weapons high enriched
uranium, over time, by blending it down to low enriched uranium for
peaceful use as commercial reactor fuel. In addition, DOE will
reduce the number of locations where weapons-usable fissile
materials are stored and will pursue a plutonium disposition
strategy that could involve both immobilization in glass or ceramic
form and burning of surplus plutonium as mixed oxide fuel in
existing reactors. Over the next two years, DOE will complete tests,
process development, demonstrations, environmental reviews and
detailed cost proposals for both disposition approaches. Near term
efforts also involve implementation of consolidated long-term
storage, pending disposition, for those materials; designing and
demonstrating a system to disassemble plutonium weapons components
and convert the plutonium to forms suitable for long-term storage
and either disposition approach; and cooperative activities with
Russia on plutonium disposition technologies.
Worker and Community Transition.--In accordance with Section
3161 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 1993, DOE is
responsible for mitigating the impact on workers and communities
that results from reductions in the workforce at defense nuclear
facilities. This program provides for the development and
implementation of plans to provide options to assist workers
affected by workforce restructuring including preference in hiring,
outplacement assistance, relocation assistance, and incentives for
early retirement or separation. This program also provides impact
assistance to local communities.
Naval Reactors.--This program performs the design, development,
and testing necessary to provide the Navy with safe, militarily
effective nuclear propulsion plants in keeping with the Nation's
nuclear-powered fleet defense requirements. During 1998, the program
expects to reach 4,800 cumulative reactor-years of safe operation,
and will continue to support and improve operating reactors and
plant components. In addition, the program will continue to develop
nuclear reactor plant components and systems for the Navy's new
attack submarine, procure equipment needs for development and
testing activities, and maintain or shut down aging facilities as
appropriate. In 1998, inactivation will continue on six of the
program's eight land-based prototypes which have been shut down.
Intenational Nuclear Safety and Security.--The International
Nuclear Safety decision unit supports management and operational
safety improvements, engineering and technology upgrades, and
encourages development and continuation of a U.S. equivalent nuclear
safety culture at Soviet-designed reactor sites in Russia, Ukraine,
and Central and Eastern Europe; continues to address safety and
nonproliferation concerns related to breeder reactors and spent fuel
management in countries of the former Soviet Union; supports tasks
related to securing the closure of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant
and addressing the ultimate disposition of Chernobyl's Unit-4; and
continues efforts at Argonne National Laboratory-West to complete
demonstration of the electrometallurgical technology for treatment
of EBR-II spent fuel and other DOE spent fuel types.
Environment, safety and health (Defense).--The Office of
Environment, Safety and Health is a corporate resource that provides
Departmental leadership and management to protect the workers,
public, and environment. This is demonstrated by conducting
independent oversight of the Department's environment, safety,
health, and safeguards and security programs; and by providing
technical assistance, resources, and information sharing. The
programs in the Other Defense Activities are Oversight, Health
Studies, and Radiation Effects Research Foundation support. The goal
of these programs is to improve the performance and effectiveness of
the Department's workforce and contractor employees in matters
related to environment, safety, health, and safeguards and security.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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

In FY 1997, and continuing in FY 1998, the Department established a
working capital fund to provide headquarters program offices
administrative services such as building space, information and
telecommunications services, supplies, printing, and copying. In the
past, most of the funding for these goods and services has been
requested in Departmental Administration, and was provided in a way many
agency con-

[[Page 488]]

sumers perceived as ``free.'' Establishment of the working capital fund
has helped the Department reduce waste and improve efficiency, since
funding for the goods and services is requested by the program office
consumers who purchase what they need through the working capital fund.
