        This appropriation supports EPA's core programs, and the Agency's
    effective management goal to establish a management infrastructure that
    will set and implement the highest quality standards for effective
    internal management and fiscal responsibility. To assist the Agency in
    accomplishing this goal, the Office of Inspector General will provide
    audit and investigative services to improve the performance and
    integrity of its programs and operation, and to reduce the risk of loss
    from fraud, waste and mismanagement. These services will identify and
    recommend corrective actions on management and administrative
    deficiencies. The Inspector General also provides professional review
    and recommendations concerning Agency contracting practices,
    administration and changes through all phases of the procurement
    process. Among the audit functions, contract audits review propriety and
    allowability of cost claimed or charged to EPA by prime or
    subcontractors. Internal and performance audits review and evaluate all
    facets of Agency programs and operations, including the adequacy of
    management systems and controls. Financial audits review the soundness
    and accuracy of the financial accounting and reporting systems. Grant
    audits focus on the effectiveness and propriety of costs of individual
    projects. Additional funds for audit and investigative activities
    associated with the Superfund Trust Fund are appropriated under that
    account and transferred to the Inspector General account to allow for
    proper accounting. This appropriation also supports activities under the
    Working Capital Fund.

        Funding within this account for climate change programs and the
    Office of Research and Development are proposed as part of the Research
    Fund for America. This proposal highlights the Administration's priority
    to provide deficit neutral funding for needed and sustained investments
    in important Federal research programs. A discussion of the Research
    Fund for America and two other funds for environmental resources and
    transportation can be found in Section II of the Budget.

        This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology,
    research and development activities including laboratory and center
    supplies, certain operating expenses (including activities under the
    Working Capital Fund), contracts, grants, intergovernmental agreements,
    and purchases of scientific equipment. These activities provide the
    scientific and technology basis for EPA's regulatory actions. In 1998
    and 1999 Superfund research costs are appropriated in the Hazardous
    Substance Superfund appropriation and transferred to this account to
    allow for proper accounting. A portion of funding provided through this
    account to support the mobile sources program is to be derived from fees
    charged for motor vehicle engine certifications that are deposited in
    the Environmental Services special fund.

        This appropriation supports core Agency programs and a number of the
    Agency's ten goals. Specifically in FY 1999, our emphasis will be placed
    on the following:

    [[Page 877]]

        Sound Science, Improved Understanding of Environmental Risk, and
    Greater Innovation to Address Environmental Problems.--The EPA will
    develop and apply the best available science for addressing current and
    future environmental hazards, as well as new approaches toward improving
    environmental protection. The Agency will continue to improve its
    understanding of risks to human health of the American public and the
    Nation's ecosystems. The EPA will address emerging environmental issues
    while seeking to develop innovative cost-effective solutions to
    pollution prevention and risk reduction by working with stakeholders to
    identify and overcome barriers, such as the lack of credible and
    independent performance data. The Agency will continue to interpret and
    integrate scientific information to help make better regulatory
    decisions and provide national leadership in addressing emerging
    environmental issues. The EPA will seek to reduce uncertainties in risk
    assessment and help to prevent and manage risk by using cost-effective
    approaches.

        Clean Air.--To ensure that every American community has safe and
    healthy air to breathe, the EPA will conduct a range of science and
    technology activities. These include research on the effects to human
    health of toxic air pollutants, and research on criteria air pollutants
    (ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, and
    particulate matter) to develop the scientific basis for the EPA's
    national ambient air quality standards. The EPA will also develop
    control measures for mobile sources, including the development of
    cleaner engine technologies, and cleaner burning fuels.

        Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental Risks.--The
    United States will lead other nations in successful, multilateral
    efforts to reduce significant risks to human health and ecosystems from
    climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, and other hazards of
    international concern. The EPA will continue efforts to limit the
    production and use of ozone-depleting substances and to develop safe
    alternative compounds. The Agency will continue to work with the U.S.
    automobile industry and other government agencies to develop a ``clean
    car,'' a vehicle that would meet the 2004 goals of the Partnership for a
    New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV) to have three times the fuel
    efficiency of today's cars (representing a 67 percent reduction in
    carbon dioxide emissions), with no sacrifice of performance, size, or
    affordability while meeting stringent future safety and emission
    standards.

        Clean and Safe Water.--To support the goal of all Americans having
    drinking water that is clean and safe to drink, the EPA will conduct
    research to support efforts to attain good water quality and safe
    drinking water. The EPA will also conduct the research to strengthen the
    scientific basis for development of effective beach evaluation tools,
    and to enhance understanding of the structure and function of aquatic
    systems through the development of improved aquatic ecocriteria.

        Expansion of Americans' Right to Know About Their Environment.--To
    assist efforts in providing the public with information about the
    environment, the EPA will focus on improving data collection and data
    quality and on deploying new technologies for real time and automated
    measurement, monitoring, and information delivery. As part of the
    environmental monitoring for public access and community tracking
    (EMPACT) initiative, which is being established to provide environmental
    information in the 75 largest U.S. metropolitan areas, the EPA will
    evaluate and modify existing risk assessment tools for use by local
    stakeholders.

        Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
    and Emergency Response.--To ensure that America's waste will be stored,
    treated, and disposed of in ways that prevent harm to people and the
    environment, the EPA will research ways to reduce uncertainties
    associated with groundwater/soil sampling and analysis, to develop
    methods and models of contaminant transport, and to reduce the time and
    cost associated with site characterization and the site remediation
    activities that it guides. Field analytical methods for characterizing
    soils are also intended to provide cheaper and more timely analyses and
    to reduce the uncertainty of site characterization.

        A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance with the
    Law.--The National Enforcement Investigations Center is the primary
    source of forensics expertise in the EPA. It provides technical services
    not available elsewhere to support the needs of the EPA Headquarters and
    Regional offices, other Federal Agencies, and state and local
    environmental enforcement organizations.

        Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities, Homes,
    Workplaces and Ecosystems.--Pollution Prevention and risk management
    strategies will be aimed at cost-effectively eliminating, reducing, or
    minimizing risk due to emissions and contamination. Indoor environments
    will be improved through technical support, analysis and producing
    necessary information to understand indoor air effects, and identify
    health risks so that risk managers can make informed decisions.

        Safe Food.--To ensure that the foods Americans eat will be free from
    unsafe pesticide residues, the EPA laboratory support program provides
    analytical and environmental chemistry services in support of the EPA's
    registration, reregistration and tolerance/reassessment programs for
    food-use pesticides. Also, the pesticide laboratories will provide
    analytical chemistry capabilities to validate food tolerance enforcement
    methods.

    provided by those programs and deposited in the Environmental Services
    special fund.

        Funding within this account for the President's Clean Water
    Initiative is proposed as part of the Environmental Resources Fund for
    America and funding for climate change programs is proposed as part of
    the Research Fund for America. These proposals highlight the
    Administration's priority to provide deficit neutral funding for
    investments in many of our Nation's key environmental programs and for
    important Federal research programs. A discussion of the three Funds for
    America can be found in Section II of the Budget.

        This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the
    Agency's ten goals. Specifically in FY 1999, EPA will emphasize the
    following:

        Clean Air.--To ensure that every American community has safe and
    healthy air to breathe, EPA will develop and implement new strategies to
    attain ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter,
    and reduce regional haze through geographic initiatives in areas where
    significant transport of pollutants occurs. EPA will continue to develop
    and issue national technology-based standards to reduce the quantity of
    toxic air pollutants emitted from industrial and manufacturing
    processes. EPA will also develop control measures for stationary and
    other sources that are regulated at the Federal level.

        Clean and Safe Water.--To provide all Americans with drinking water
    that is clean and safe to drink, EPA will emphasize developing new
    drinking water standards for microbiological contaminants, disinfectant
    and disinfection byproducts, and other pollutants identified as posing
    potentially high risks. EPA will also work with its State and Tribal
    partners to address protection of drinking water sources. EPA will
    provide the tools and guidance for its partners to better protect the
    Nation's waters, and protect and restore wetlands. EPA and its partners
    will make progress toward completing Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)
    for impaired U.S. waters and improving implementation of TMDL programs.
    EPA will work with its partners to issue National Pollutant Discharge
    Elimination System permits for stormwater sources and ensure all 950
    combined sewage overflow (CSO) communities will be in compliance with
    EPA's CSO policy. EPA will also work with its partners to address
    sources of polluted runoff.

        Safe Food.--To ensure that the foods Americans eat will be free from
    unsafe pesticide residues, EPA will continue to set terms and conditions
    of food/feed-use registration, marketing and use. Through the
    registration, reregistration, and special review programs, food/feed-use
    pesticides will undergo

    [[Page 879]]

    extensive review and evaluation of health data. EPA intends to decrease
    the use of pesticides with the highest potential to cause adverse
    effects and increase the number of registrations of safer pesticides.

        Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities, Homes,
    Workplaces and Ecosystems.--Pollution prevention and risk management
    strategies will be aimed at cost-effectively eliminating, reducing, or
    minimizing emissions and contamination. EPA intends to reduce public and
    ecosystem risks from non-food/feed-use pesticides through its
    registration and reregistration programs and public education and
    training activities, including worker protection, endangered species
    protection, environmental stewardship, and integrated pest management
    programs. EPA will also support development of safer chemicals by
    minimizing or eliminating regulatory burdens on new chemicals that
    replace riskier substances already in the marketplace. The toxicity of
    wastes will be reduced by focusing on reductions in persistent,
    bioaccumulative and toxic (PBTs) chemicals. The quantity of wastes will
    also be reduced through source reduction and recycling.

        Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
    and Emergency Response.--To ensure that America's waste will be stored,
    treated, and disposed of in ways that prevent harm to people and to the
    natural environment, EPA will implement its Hazardous Waste Minimization
    and Combustion Strategy, including setting new standards for hazardous
    waste incinerators and cement kilns that burn hazardous waste. In
    addition, the Agency will focus on controlling human exposures and
    groundwater releases at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
    facilities designated as high priority for corrective action. EPA will
    also develop and promulgate standards, regulations, and guidelines to
    reduce exposure from radiation sources.

        Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental Risks.--The
    United States will lead other nations in successful, multilateral
    efforts to reduce significant risks to human health and ecosystems from
    climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, and other environmental
    hazards of international concern. EPA will implement formal bilateral
    and multilateral environmental agreements with key countries, execute
    environmental components of key foreign policy initiatives, and engage
    in regional and global negotiations aimed at reducing environmental
    risks via formal and informal agreements. EPA will cooperate with other
    countries to ensure that domestic and international environmental laws,
    policies, and priorities are recognized and implemented and, where
    appropriate, promoted within the multilateral development assistance and
    trading system. EPA will also emphasize domestic and international
    efforts to limit the production and use of ozone-depleting substances
    and develop safe alternative compounds, and demonstrate and promote
    public/private partnership programs that reduce greenhouse gas
    emissions.

        Expansion of Americans' Right to Know About Their Environment.--Easy
    access to a wealth of information about the state of their local
    environment will expand citizen involvement and give people tools to
    protect their families and their communities as they see fit. To achieve
    this goal, EPA will increase education, outreach, and data availability
    programs. The Center for Environmental Information and Statistics (CEIS)
    will be created to provide citizens with information on drinking water
    quality, air quality, beach contamination, and shellfish contamination.
    The Agency will expand the coverage of pollutants, pollution sources,
    and data elements in EPA's Toxic Release Inventory, and ensure
    compliance with reporting requirements. The Agency will also improve
    electronic access to information by significantly expanding the type and
    amount of information available on the Internet.

        Sound Science, Improved Understanding of Environmental Risk, and
    Greater Innovation to Address Environmental Problems.--EPA will maximize
    the potential to reduce uncertainties in risk assessment, and help to
    prevent and manage risk, by using cost-effective approaches such as the
    place- and facility-based strategies (e.g., the Community-Based
    Environmental Protection strategy) and the sector-based strategy (e.g.,
    the Common Sense Initiative).

        A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance With the
    Law.--To ensure full compliance with laws intended to protect human
    health and the environment, EPA will promote compliance by the regulated
    community, set risk-based enforcement and compliance priorities, and
    strategically plan and target activities to address environmental
    problems associated with industry sectors and communities. EPA will use
    traditional activities of compliance monitoring, civil enforcement and
    criminal enforcement actions as well as new and innovative approaches
    such as compliance assistance and compliance incentives.

        Effective Management.--EPA will improve the quality of its internal
    management, contract administration, and fiscal responsibility efforts.
    The Agency will invest in its employees through training, education and
    implementation of automated and streamlined human resources processes.
    The Agency will focus its contracting efforts on performance-based
    service contracts instead of the traditional cost-plus, level-of-effort
    contracting, relying on guidance developed by the Office of Federal
    Procurement Policy. EPA will concentrate on resolution of material
    weaknesses previously identified in the area of grants closeouts, and on
    implementation of the best practices identified government-wide by the
    General Accounting Office (GAO) for information resources management and
    integration of information technology investments. EPA will also provide
    support for electronic reporting to reduce the burden to the Agency's
    highest-volume submitters.

        Funding within this account for the Clean Water and Drinking Water
    State Revolving Funds and the President's Clean Water Initiative are
    proposed as part of the Environmental Resources Fund for America. This
    proposal highlights the Administration's priority to provide deficit
    neutral funding for investments in many of our Nation's key
    environmental programs. A discussion of the Environmental Resources Fund
    for America and two other funds for research and transportation can be
    foun in Section II of the Budget.

        This appropriation supports core Agency programs and a number of the
    Agency's ten goals.

        Clean and Safe Water.--This Agency goal is to ensure people are
    provided clean and safe water to drink, and to protect and restore
    America's water bodies to improve public health, enhance water quality,
    reduce flooding, and provide wildlife habitat. In support of this goal,
    EPA will provide funds for capitalization grants to States for Clean
    Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs), the purpose of which are to make low
    interest loans to communities and grants to Indian Tribes and Native
    Alaska Villages to construct wastewater treatment infrastructure, and
    fund other projects to enhance water quality. Since 1989, the Federal
    Government has invested approximately $14 billion in grants to help
    capitalize the 51 SRFs. With required State match, additional State
    contribution, and funds from program leveraging, funds available for
    such loans total approximately $24 billion. The Administration's goal is
    for the Clean Water SRFs eventually to provide an average of $2 billion
    a year in loans.

        Capitalization grants are also provided for the Drinking Water SRFs,
    the purpose of which are to make low interest loans to public water
    systems and grants to Indian Tribes and Native Alaska Villages to help
    them comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act. The Administration's goal
    is for the Drinking Water SRFs eventually to provide an average of $500
    million a year in loans.

        Direct grants are also provided to help address the significant
    water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Alaska Native Villages, and
    for U.S. cities that are facing exceptionally high capital needs and
    user charges.

        EPA will support its partnerships with States and Tribes through
    media-specific and multi-media, and/or Performance Partnership grants
    to: (1) increase the number of community drinking water systems that
    meet all existing health-based standards, (2) protect watersheds by
    reducing point and nonpoint source pollution, (3) decrease the net loss
    of wetlands, and (4) address agricultural and urban runoff and storm
    water.

        Clean Air.--To ensure that every American Community has safe and
    healthy air to breathe, EPA will provide funds to states to upgrade and
    improve air monitoring networks to

    [[Page 882]]

    obtain better data on emissions of particulate matter, air toxics in
    urban areas, ozone in rural areas, and acidic deposition. EPA will offer
    media-specific and multi-media, and/or Performance Partnership grants to
    States and Tribes, and technical assistance to aid in the development of
    State and Tribal Implementation Plans to support solutions that address
    local air needs.

        Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities, Homes,
    Workplaces and Ecosystems.--EPA will offer media-specific and multi-
    media, and/or Performance Partnership grants to States and Tribes, and
    technical assistance to foster source reduction and recycling. Best
    approaches for encouraging recycling of non-hazardous industrial wastes
    will also be identified through work with the State and Tribal partners.

        Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
    and Emergency Response.--To ensure that America's waste will be stored,
    treated, and disposed of in ways that prevent harm to people and to the
    natural environment, EPA will work with States, tribes and local
    governments to put environmental protection and decision making in the
    hands of those closest to the problems, while maintaing a Federal
    leadership role. There will be direct assistance through media-specific,
    and multi-media and/or Performance Partnership grants to enable tribes
    to implement hazardous waste programs.

        A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance With the
    Law.--To ensure full compliance with laws intended to protect human
    health and the environment, EPA will provide grant assistance to States
    and Tribes for both compliance monitoring and compliance assistance
    activities. EPA will also provide direct grant funding to States and
    Tribes to conduct compliance inspections and compliance assurance
    activities under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and Federal
    Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

        Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental Risks.--The
    Agency will provide direct grant assistance to address the serious
    environmental and human health problems associated with untreated and
    industrial and municipal sewage on the U.S.-Mexico border. EPA will
    identify wastewater infrastructure needs along the border and has
    established a goal of 32 total high priority projects to be certified
    for design-construction by the end of FY 1999. These funds also support
    attainment for the Clean and Safe Water goal.

        The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
    Liability Act of 1980, as amended, authorizes appropriations from the
    general fund to finance activities conducted through the Hazardous
    Substance Superfund. The authorization for general fund payments to the
    Superfund expired in 1995. The Administration will support an extension
    of this authority as part of Superfund reauthorization.

                             Environmental Services

        Notwithstanding section 4(i)(6) of the Federal Insecticide,
    Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 136a), the Administrator is
    authorized to assess, in the current fiscal year and thereafter, fees
    from applicants for registration and amendments to registration under
    section 3 and experimental use permits under section 5 pursuant to
    regulations previously published and codified at 40 CFR 152. Such fees
    shall be calculated to cover costs associated with the review of such
    applications, and shall be paid at the time of application, unless
    otherwise specified by the Administrator. If any fee is not paid by the
    time prescribed, the Administrator may, by order and without a hearing,
    deny the application: Provided, That the Administrator may reduce or
    waive any fee that would otherwise be assessed (1) in connection with an
    application for an active ingredient that is contained only in
    pesticides for which registration is sought solely for agricultural or
    non-agricultural minor use, and (2) in such other circumstances as the
    Administrator determines to be in the public interest. Fees collected
    under this provision shall be deposited in a special fund in the U.S.
    Treasury, which thereafter will be available subject to appropriation,
    to carry out the Agency's activities in the issuing or registrations
    under sections 3 and 5 of FIFRA for which the fees were paid.
        Notwithstanding section 26(b)(1) of the Toxic Substances Control Act
    (15 U.S.C. 2625), the Administrator is authorized to assess, in the
    current fiscal year and thereafter, fees from any person required to
    submit data under sections 4 or 5 without regard to the dollar
    limitations established in section 26(b)(1). Such fees shall be
    calculated to cover costs associated with administering those sections
    of the Act, and shall be paid at the time of data submission, unless
    otherwise specified by the Administrator. The Administrator may take
    into account the ability to pay of the person required to submit the
    data and the cost to the Administrator of reviewing such data. The
    Administrator shall promulgate rules to implement this provision. Such
    rules may provide for allocating the fee in any case in which the
    expenses of data submission under sections 4 or 5 are shared. Increased
    fees collected under this provision shall be deposited in a special fund
    in the U.S. Treasury, which thereafter will be available subject to
    appropriation, to carry out the Agency's activities for which such fees
    are collected.

        A special fund was established for the deposit of fee receipts
    associated with environmental programs, including radon measurement
    proficiency ratings and training, and motor vehicle engine
    certifications. Receipts in this special fund will be appropriated to
    the Science and Technology, and the Environmental Programs and
    Management accounts to meet the expenses of the programs that generate
    the receipts. Appropriations language is being proposed to impose user
    fees on manufacturers of pesticides to recover the costs of EPA's
    Pesticide Registration Program. Congressional action is required to
    activate a user fee rule promulgated by EPA that was subsequently
    suspended by Congress. Appropriations language is also being proposed to
    raise the cap on the allowable rate that can be charged to recover the
    costs of EPA's Premanufacturing Notification program. Enactment of this
    appropriations language would generate $24 million in receipts that
    would be discretionary under the Budget Enforcement Act.

        EPA received authority to establish a Working Capital Fund (WCF) and
    was designated a franchise fund pilot under Public Law 103-356, the
    Government Management and Reform Act of 1994. EPA's WCF became
    operational in FY 1997 and includes two activities: Enterprise
    Technology Services Division's computer operations and Agency postage.
    The 1999 amount reflects only base resources and may change during the
    year as programmatic needs change. The franchise fund concept is
    intended to increase competition for government administrative services
    resulting in lower costs and higher quality.

        This appropriation provides funds for the implementation of the
    Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensa-

    [[Page 887]]

    tion and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities
    under the Working Capital Fund. Funding in this account is proposed as
    part of the Environmental Resources Fund for America. This proposal
    highlights the Administration's priority to provide deficit neutral
    funding for the investments in many of our Nation's key environmental
    programs. A discussion of the Environmental Resources Fund for America
    and two other funds for research and transportation can be found in
    Section II of the Budget. This appropriation supports core Agency
    programs and a number of the Agency's ten goals. Specifically in FY
    1999, emphasis will be placed on the following:

        Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
    and Emergency Response.--EPA will complete cleanups at 136 sites,
    conduct 300 removal actions, and fund brownfields site assessments and
    cleanups in 100 communities. Through 1997, cleanups had been completed
    at 498 sites, and 4,879 removal actions had been taken at 3,634 sites.
    EPA will also work to maximize responsible parties' participation in
    site cleanups while promoting fairness in the enforcement process, and
    pursue greater recovery of EPA's cleanup costs. EPA will allocate funds
    from its appropriation to other Federal agencies to carry out the Act.
    Legislation will be proposed to extend the taxes supporting the trust
    fund through 2008.

        Sound Science, Improved Understanding of Environmental Risk, and
    Greater Innovation to Address Environmental Problems.--EPA will develop
    methods to assess and control the potential health and environmental
    risks posed by contaminated waste sites. EPA will also conduct risk
    management research which focuses on the remediation of surface and
    subsurface contaminated soils, sludge, sediments, buildings, debris, and
    groundwater.

        A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance With the
    Law.--EPA will investigate and refer for prosecution criminal violations
    of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
    Act of 1980 (CERCLA), and increase Regional support to criminal
    investigations in the field.

        Effective Management.--EPA will work to ensure fiscal responsibility
    in support of site cleanups. EPA will continue to implement performance-
    based service contracts instead of the traditional cost-plus, level-of-
    effort contracts, and will improve the quality and availability of
    information on the status and use of resources.

        The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund, authorized
    by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, as amended
    by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, provides funds for
    responding to releases from leaking underground petroleum tanks,
    including activities under the Working Capital Fund. The Trust Fund is
    financed by a 0.1 cent a gallon tax on motor fuels, that will expire
    after March 30, 2005.

    [[Page 889]]

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

        This appropriation supports core Agency programs and two of the
    Agency's ten goals. Specifically in FY 1999, emphasis will be placed on
    the following:

        Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
    and Emergency Response.--To ensure that America's waste will be stored,
    treated, and disposed of in ways that prevent harm to people and to the
    natural environment, EPA will support State and Tribal efforts to design
    and implement risk-based corrective action programs. These programs will
    help to reduce the backlog of Underground Storage Tank (USTs) sites with
    confirmed releases waiting to be addressed, and to enforce the 1998 UST
    leak detection and upgrade standards.

        Effective Management.--To support the States' and EPA's efforts to
    regulate and oversee the cleanup of Leaking Underground Storage Tanks,
    EPA will establish a management infrastructure that will set and
    implement the highest quality standards for effective internal
    management and fiscal responsibility.

        Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
    and Emergency Response.--EPA will work to ensure that 400 additional
    facilities per year comply with the oil spill prevention, control and

    are adequately prepared to respond to oil spills as measured by approved
    response plans. EPA will also direct response actions when appropriate.
