    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.

    This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts, 
grants, and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement, control, and 
compliance activities and administrative activities of the operating 
programs, including activities under the Working Capital Fund. A portion 
of funding provided through this account to support the pesticide 
registration, premanufacturing notification, and radon measurement 
proficiency programs is to be derived from fees charged for services 
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.

    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.

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

[[Page 890]]

    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 
countermeasure provisions of the OPA, and that 200 additional facilities 
are adequately prepared to respond to oil spills as measured by approved 
response plans. EPA will also direct response actions when appropriate. 
Funding of oil spill cleanup actions is provided through the Department 
of Transportation under the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund.
