    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 and dismantlement techniques. 
    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.
        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. 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 Defense Programs' 
    facilities.
        Within the Stockpile Management Program, the Department has been 
    pursuing a dual track strategy to produce tritium for the Nation's 
    enduring nuclear weapons stockpile. It plans to select a primary and 
    backup option in 1998. The budget includes $157 million to pursue 
    the option that is selected. If the Department selects the purchase 
    of irradiation services from commercial light water reactors as the 
    primary option, it will be able to meet current requirements within 
    the funds available. If the Department selects accelerator 
    production of tritium as the primary option, it will need to seek 
    relief from the current target date for initiating new tritium 
    production or seek additional funding.

        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.--The Office of Environmental Management 
(EM) manages the thousands of contaminated areas and buildings, huge 
waste volumes, and nuclear materials left over from the nuclear weapons 
production process. In June 1996, EM began working toward a long-range 
goal of completing cleanup at most sites within a decade. FY 1999 
represents the first fiscal year in which the budget structure is based 
on projects. This budget structure differentiates by completion dates 
and end states rather than by activities performed.

    The FY 1999 budget request will support the following major program 
areas:
        Site/Project Completion.--Includes sites and/or projects that 
    will be completed by 2006 at EM laboratories or other facilities 
    where DOE will continue to have a presence beyond the year 2006. 
    Examples of sites with projects included in this account are Idaho 
    National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Idaho; Hanford, 
    Washington; and Savannah River, South Carolina.
        Post 2006 Completion.--Includes projects that will continue 
    after 2006. Included are various projects at Hanford, Washington; 
    Savannah River, South Carolina; Idaho National Engineering and 
    Environmental Laboratory, Idaho;

[[Page 361]]

    Nevada Test Site, Nevada; Oak Ridge Reservation, Tennessee; and the 
    Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (Carlsbad), New Mexico.
        Office of Science and Technology.--Conducts technology 
    development activities which focus on the Department's major 
    environmental management issues 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. Includes the Environmental Science program which conducts a 
    targeted long-term basic research program for Environmental 
    Management problems to significantly reduce 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 applied technology development which has been 
    historically supported by Environmental Management. 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.
        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.
        Activities performed include: environmental restoration, which 
    provides for assessments, characterization, remediation, and 
    decontamination and decommissioning of contaminated DOE facilities 
    and sites; waste management, which provides for the safe, treatment, 
    storage, and disposal of wastes generated by defense activities; 
    and, nuclear material and facility stabilization, which provides for 
    stabilization, safeguarding, interim storage, and stewardship of 
    excess nuclear materials, including spent nuclear fuel, awaiting 
    ultimate disposition.
        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.
        Asset Management Pilot Projects.--The Asset Management Program 
    is designed to provide a financial return to the Federal government 
    by disposing of unneeded assets. Six pilot projects have been 
    identified for asset disposition. Revenues received in excess of the 
    cost of sales, leases, and disposition are returned to Treasury.

        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.

    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 defining and implement

[[Page 363]]

    ing a path forward for the verifiable storage and disposition of 
    U.S. weapons-usable fissile material (highly enriched uranium and 
    plutonium) and for providing technical support for efforts to attain 
    reciprocal actions for the disposition of surplus Russian plutonium. 
    The Department is preparing to dispose of surplus weapons highly 
    enriched uranium by blending it down to low enriched uranium for use 
    as commercial reactor fuel. The Department is pursuing a hybrid 
    plutonium disposition strategy that allows for immobilization of 
    surplus plutonium with ceramic material surrounded by vitrified high 
    level waste, and burning of surplus plutonium as mixed oxide (MOX) 
    fuel in existing domestic commercial reactors. Over the next two 
    years, DOE will complete site-specific environmental reviews and 
    detailed cost proposals for both disposition approaches; make a 
    Record of Decision on site(s) for disposition facilities; begin 
    detailed design of two of the three disposition facilities; and 
    complete tests, process development and technology demonstrations 
    required for plutonium disposition. Near term efforts also involve 
    continued efforts to consolidate the storage of weapons-usable 
    fissile materials, pending disposition; and development of a pilot 
    scale plutonium conversion system in Russia. The budget includes $28 
    million to begin design of a MOX fuel fabrication facility in the 
    United States. The Administration will not construct new facilities 
    for disposition of U.S. plutonium unless there is significant 
    progress on plans for plutonium disposition in Russia.
        Worker and Community Transition.--This program provides for the 
    development and implementation of plans under section 3161 of the 
    National Defense Authorization Act of 1993, 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, as 
    well as disposition of assets excess to current Department needs.
        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 1999, the program 
    expects to reach 4,900 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.
        International Nuclear Safety and Security.--The International 
    Nuclear Safety Program reflects the Department's commitment to 
    improve the safety of Soviet-designed nuclear reactors abroad. Since 
    1992, DOE has led the U.S. Government's effort to reduce the health 
    and environmental threats posed by the continued operation of aging 
    nuclear reactors in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries in the 
    region. The request supports improvements in management and 
    operational safety, engineering and technology upgrades, and 
    encourages development of a U.S. equivalent nuclear safety culture.
        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. The programs in the Other Defense 
    Activities are Oversight, Health Studies, and Radiation Effects 
    Research Foundation support as well as Program Direction.

    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 1999 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 1999 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, $65 
million, an increase of $30 million, is provided for the Department's FY 
1999 contribution to U.S. participation in the Large Hadron Collider 
project at the European Center for Nuclear Research. Advance 
appropriations through 2004, totaling $329,000,000, are requested to 
complete the US contribution to the project.

    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 1999 request provides $21.7 million 
to continue the fabrication of BaBar, the detector for the B-Factory, 
and the upgrades of the two detectors at Fermilab, the Collider Detector 
Facility and D-Zero. The request also includes $14.3 million for the 
neutrinos at the Main Injector Project and $6.7 million for Wilson Hall 
safety improvements; Advance appropriations of $64.9 million are 
requested to complete these projects.

    Superconducting Super Collider.--The Department will continue the 
orderly termination of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) in 1999, 
as directed by Congress in the 1994 Energy and Water Development 
Appropriations Act. No additional funding for such activities is 
requested in 1999. Due to the efficiency of the SSC termination, $7.6 
million in unobligated balances will be transferred to reduce the FY 
1999 Science 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 1999, the pro

[[Page 365]]

gram 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 Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility/Continuous 
Electron Beam Accelerator Facility experimental program began in FY 1996 
and will continue in FY 1999 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 in 1999. Operation of ATLAS (ANL), TAGS (BNL), and the 88-
inch cyclotron (LBNL) will be supported, as will the operation of the 
university-based accelerator laboratories.

    Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) construction will be 
completed in the third quarter of FY 1999 and will begin operations in 
the fourth quarter. Funding for the AGS accelerator will be transferred 
from the High Energy Physics program to the Nuclear Physics program as 
it becomes the injector for the RHIC.

    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 1999 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. A carbon management 
science program is beginning in FY 1999, focusing on science related to 
carbon sequestration and sequencing of genomes of microbes that use 
carbon dioxide to produce methane and hydrogen.

    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 1999 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. The request also includes funding 
for an instrumentation enhancement of the Department's neutron source at 
the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center.

    In addition, the BES request includes $157 million in FY 1999 to 
initiate construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the national 
Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) to meet the Nation's neutron scattering 
needs. The SNS will provide significant scientific, technical, and 
economic benefits that derive from neutron scattering and materials 
irradiation research and the production of medical isotopes. This world 
class Neutron source will 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. This activity also funds a small 
portion of the climate change program initiative.

    University and Science Education.--This program will continue to 
provide leadership and program support necessary to use the resources of 
the Department's laboratories to help replenish the overall pool of 
well-trained, diverse scientists and engineers of the future and to 
achieve significant long term improvements in their scientific and 
technological skills.

    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, replacing or demolishing deficient 
common-use utilities, roads, and buildings and to correct Environment, 
Safety and Health deficiencies at the multiprogram laboratories.

    Computational and Technology Research (CTR).--This program includes 
research in Mathematical, Information, and Computational Sciences and 
Advanced Energy Projects. 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 1999 budget request includes 
$22 million for the ``Next Generation Internet'' Initiative.

    Research Fund for America.--Funding for the national Spallation 
Neutron Source is proposed as part of the Research Fund for America. 
This proposal highlights the Administration's priority to provide needed 
and sustained investments in important Federal research programs on a 
deficit neutral basis. A discussion of the Research Fund for America, 
and two other funds for the environment and transportation, can be found 
in Section II of the Budget volume.

    Funding to Augment Science is proposed as part of the Research Fund 
for America. This proposal highlights the Administration's priority to 
provide needed and sustained investment in important Federal research 
programs on a deficit neutral basis. A discussion of the Research Fund 
for America, and two other funds for the environment and transportation, 
can be found in Section II of the Budget volume.

    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 1999 that will contribute to strengthening the 
Nation's energy security, providing a cleaner environment, enhancing 
global sales of U.S. energy products, and increasing industrial 
competitiveness and federal technology transfer. The solar and renewable 
energy program is a major component of the Administration's activities 
to address global climate change. Program activities range from basic 
cost-shared research in universities and national laboratories to 
applied research, development, and field validations in full partnership 
with private sector manufacturers.

    The FY 1999 program continues to work in partnership with industry 
to develop and promote the use of solar and renewable energy. Specific 
goals or activities of solar and renewable 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

[[Page 367]]

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 1999 Budget continues to take 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 and Renewable Energy programs also include ongoing support 
for: (1) international solar energy programs such as 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 and Storage Programs 
include the development of advanced energy storage systems and the 
development of wires and power equipment employing advanced high 
temperature superconducting technology. A key element of the effort is 
the Superconductivity Partnership Initiative, an industry-DOE 
collaboration intended to speed the commercialization of 
superconductivity products. The program continues to produce world-
record R&D advances. Energy Storage develops advanced technologies to 
facilitate the increased utilization of renewable resources. In the 
Hydrogen program, R&D efforts are focused on reducing the cost of 
hydrogen production, increasing the capability of hydrogen storage, and 
validating the benefits of using hydrogen by integrating advanced 
technologies.

    Nuclear Fission.--Nuclear fission programs represent much of the 
federal government's core competency in nuclear technology. This 
expertise is critical in assuring that, through its unique research and 
development activities, the United States government can respond to 
nuclear energy resource, national security, and safety issues. Because 
of the nation's reliance on these vital technologies, the Department of 
Energy continues to invest in services, products, and technologies that 
are beyond the capability of private industry to fund alone.

    The FY 1999 budget request supports the recommendations of the 
President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) to 
develop an investigator-initiated, peer-reviewed research and 
development program that will address key issues affecting the future of 
nuclear energy, including nuclear waste storage and disposal, nuclear 
plant economics and operational safety, and potential for weapons 
proliferation, that currently impede nuclear energy from becoming a 
viable and acceptable energy option in the United States. Projects 
proposed by universities, national laboratories, and industry will be 
selected competitively, and partnerships and industry cost-sharing will 
be encouraged. The Administration's proposal also supports the PCAST 
recommendation to initiate a cost-shared program with industry to 
address issues that could impact the continued operation of the nation's 
107 nuclear power plants.

    Nuclear fission program also include ongoing support to: (1) build 
and deliver advanced nuclear power systems to NASA and other federal 
agencies; (2) maintain an adequate supply of radioisotopes for medical 
and research purposes; (3) ensure continued U.S. leadership in nuclear 
technology by supporting nuclear education initiatives; (4) oversee the 
legacy of the nation's uranium supply and enrichment activities; and (5) 
complete a demonstration and comprehensive evaluation of the viability 
and cost-effectiveness of electrometallurgical methods of treating the 
Department's spent nuclear fuels, taking into account its overall 
environmental management strategy and the requirements of its geologic 
disposal program. Funding to continue surveillance and maintenance 
responsibilities at the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) in Hanford, WA 
will be transferred from the Office of Environmental Management. The 
FFTF may have potential application to address the nation's need for new 
sources of Tritium production.

    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 1999 budget request for the Office of Environment, Safety and 
Health reflects these priorities. It is important 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, Management and Administration, and 
Program Direction.

    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 emphasizes the 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: 
understanding the physics of plasmas; identification and exploration of 
innovative and cost effective development paths to fusion energy; and 
exploration of the science and technology of energy producing plasmas, 
as a partner in an international effort.

    The budget request of $228 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) was 
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 1999 budget provides $12 
million for the International Thermonuclear Reactor (ITER) joint 
baseline design following completion of the U.S. participation in the 
ITER Engineering and Design Activity (EDA), which will be completed in 
FY 1998. The U.S. plans to continue to participate in the ITER process 
to support international collaboration in fusion, including the 
evaluation of a variety of options for a next-generation machine. ITER 
would address 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.

    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 are the effective management, control, and use of the

[[Page 368]]

results of DOE's multibillion dollar research program, and the 
acquisition and management of results of worldwide investment in energy 
R&D.
        Policy and management.--Provides executive direction, management 
    assistance, and administrative support to all programs within energy 
    supply activities.

    Field 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 the management and operating contractor employees spread 
across the four field installations.

    Research Fund for America.--Funding for Fusion is proposed as part 
of the Research Fund for America. This proposal highlights the 
Administration's priority to provide needed and sustained investments in 
important Federal research programs on a deficit neutral basis. A 
discussion of the Research Fund for America, and two other funds for the 
environment and transportation, can be found in Section II of the Budget 
volume.

    Funding for the Climate Change Technology Initiative is proposed as 
part of the Research Fund for America. This proposal highlights the 
Administration's priority to provide needed and sustained investments in

    Environmental Management.--The Office of Environmental Management 
(EM) manages the thousands of contaminated areas and buildings, large 
waste volumes, and nuclear materials left over from the nuclear weapons 
production process. In June 1996, EM began working toward a long-range 
goal of completing cleanup at most sites within a decade. FY 1999 
represents the first fiscal year in which the budget structure is based 
on projects. This budget structure differentiates by completion dates 
and end states rather than by activities performed.

    The FY 1999 budget request will support the following major program 
areas:
        Site Closure.--Provides funding for sites that will meet the 
    goal of site closure by 2006. The creation of this account supports 
    the reduction of long-term costs. There will not be a Departmental 
    mission at sites within this account beyond 2006 except for limited 
    long-term surveillance and maintenance (i.e., pump and treat). 
    Examples of sites included under this account are Monticello, Utah; 
    and Weldon Spring, Missouri.
        Site/Project Completion.--Provides funding for projects that 
    will be completed by 2006 at national laboratories or other 
    facilities where DOE will continue to have a pres

[[Page 369]]

    ence beyond the year 2006. Examples of sites with projects included 
    in this account are Argonne-East, Illinois; and the Idaho National 
    Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Idaho.
        Post 2006 Completion.--Provides funding for projects that will 
    continue after 2006. Included are projects at various sites 
    including the Oak Ridge Reservation, Tennessee.
        Office of Science and Technology.--Conducts technology 
    development activities which focus on the Department's major 
    environmental management issues 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.
        Activities performed include: environmental restoration, which 
    provides for assessments, characterization, remediation, and 
    decontamination and decommissioning of contaminated DOE facilities 
    and sites; waste management, which provides for the safe, treatment, 
    storage, and disposal of wastes generated by defense activities; 
    and, nuclear material and facility stabilization, which provides for 
    stabilization, safeguarding, interim storage, and stewardship of 
    excess nuclear materials, awaiting ultimate disposition.
        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.

    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 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.--Programs will continue to focus on meeting the new goals 
and objectives and changing mission of 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 advance clean 
coal technology 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 development and 
demonstration. 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, and 
environmental research activities directed to facilitate environmentally 
acceptable exploration and production of domestic oil resources. The 
Department plans to discontinue research directed to improve technology 
needed to economically refine domestic crude oils.

    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. The national laboratory partnership focuses on 
the transfer of Defense-developed technology to the oil and gas 
industry. The fuel cells program will continue to support development of 
highly efficient, environmental friendly technologies for generating 
electrical and thermal energy.

    The request also includes funding for the advanced metallurgical 
research 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.

    Research Fund for America.--Funding for the Climate Change 
Technology Initiative is proposed as part of the Research Fund for 
America. This proposal highlights the Administration's priority to 
provide needed and sustained investments in important Federal research 
programs on a deficit neutral basis. A discussion of the Research Fund 
for America, and two other funds for the environment and transportation, 
can be found in Section II of the Budget volume.

    In the past, this program has included activities necessary to 
operate, explore, conserve, develop, and produce oil, gas, and 
associated hydrocarbons from 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. The naval petroleum reserves 
has been a positive source of revenue for the Treasury since the 
resulting oil and gas production was sold commercially.

    Public Law 104-106 required the sale of Elk Hills by February 10, 
1998. Elk Hills is the major oil and natural gas field located near 
Bakersfield, California that accounts for the bulk of this program. 
Accordingly, DOE structured a competitive sale, and, on October 6, 1997, 
announced it agreed to sell all of the government's interest in Elk 
Hills to Occidental Petroleum for $3.65 billion, retroactive to October 
1, 1997. Closing the transaction is scheduled to occur on February 2, 
1998.

    Public Law 104-106 also required DOE to retain an independent 
petroleum consultant to conduct a study to determine the best options 
for maximizing the value of the remaining Reserves. The study recommends 
the Department retain NPR-3 (Teapot Dome). While efforts will continue 
to be directed toward maintaining a positive net cash flow through 
normal operations, the work at Teapot Dome will increasingly focus on 
environmental remediation, abandoning marginal and unproductive wells, 
and preparation for abandonment when the oil field reaches its economic 
limit. Although no future development activities are planned, NPR-3 
should continue to operate economically through approximately FY 2003. 
At that time, subject to authorizing legislation, NPR-3 is expected to 
be turned over to the private sector or abandoned, coinciding with 
completion of the well abandonment program which commences in FY 1998.

    Under the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) program, 
the naval petroleum reserves offers Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 3 
(Teapot Dome) to the oil industry for use as a working laboratory on a 
cost-sharing basis. Teapot Dome is a unique opportunity for the industry 
to test and evaluate innovative production techniques in an impartial 
setting. Eventually, the naval petroleum reserve program hopes to 
transfer the RMOTC program to a consortium of private and educational 
institutions for continued operation.

    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. These programs are a 
major component of the Administration's climate change response, and 
when the benefits to energy security and the environment are included, 
it is clear that these programs represent important investments in a 
clean, productive future.

    In total, the Department's energy efficiency programs are projected 
to save consumers and businesses over $20 billion per year by the year 
2010. 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 1999 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 to 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 Technology, State and Community Programs.--Research and 
development to improve the energy efficiency of appliances, building 
equipment, and the building envelope is complemented by new programs 
designed to move advanced technologies into the marketplace 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 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 renewable 
energy as a means to reduce energy costs. FEMP's major emphasis will be 
on using private sector investments to retrofit federal facilities using 
energy savings performance contracting, thus leveraging federal dollars 
to the maximum.

    Industrial Sector.--The 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 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

[[Page 373]]

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 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 including criteria pollutants and carbon 
dioxide. 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, compression ignition direct 
injection diesel engines, 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, and 
technologies for enabling fuel flexibility and fuel economy in heavy 
trucks. 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 provides program management 
for all of the Energy Conservation programs, and supports management in 
the development of policy and program evaluation for energy conservation 
programs to ensure effective program delivery.

    Research Fund for America.--Funding for the Climate Change 
Technology Initiative is proposed as part of the Research Fund for 
America. This proposal highlights the Administration's priority to 
provide needed and sustained investments in important Federal research 
programs on a deficit neutral basis. A discussion of the Research Fund 
for America, and two other funds for the environment and transportation, 
can be found in Section II of the Budget volume.

    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

[[Page 374]]

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.

    This program supports energy information activities which are 
designed to provide timely, accurate and relevant energy information for 
use by the Administration, the Congress, and the general public. The 
activities funded in this program include the design, development and 
maintenance of information systems on petroleum, natural gas, coal, 
nuclear, electricity, alternate fuel sources, and energy consumption. 
This includes collecting data and ensuring its accuracy; preparing 
forecasts of alternative energy futures; and preparing reports on energy 
sources, end-uses, prices, supply and demand, and associated 
environmental, economic, international, and financial matters. In 
addition, the National Energy Information Center disseminates 
statistical and analytical publications, reports, and data files in 
hard-copy and electronic formats, and responds to public inquiries. 
Finally, this activity pro

    Research Fund for America.--Funding for the Climate Change 
Technology Initiative is proposed as part of the Research Fund for 
America. This proposal highlights the Administration's priority to 
provide needed and sustained investments in important Federal research 
programs on a deficit neutral basis. A discussion of the Research Fund 
for America, and two other funds for the environment and transportation, 
can be found in Section II of the Budget volume.

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

    Hearings and appeals.--The Office of Hearings and Appeals issues all 
final orders of an adjudicatory nature other than those over which the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or the Board of Contract Appeals 
have jurisdiction. It decides appeals of petroleum enforcement actions 
and administers refund proceedings involving funds obtained as a result 
of petroleum enforcement actions. This office is also responsible for 
(a) conducting hearings and issuing initial agency decisions on 
``whistleblower'' complaints made under the DOE Contractor Employee 
Protection Program, (b) appeals of Freedom of Information and Privacy 
Act Determinations, (c) ``Payment-Equal-to-Taxes'' determinations made 
under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended, (d) conducting 
personnel security administrative review hearings, and (e) requests for 
exception relief. The FY 1999 funding request is limited to expenses 
related to Petroleum overcharge cases.

    The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is charged with 
regulating certain interstate aspects of the natural gas, oil pipeline, 
hydropower, and electric industries. Such regulation includes issuing 
licenses and certificates for construction of facilities, approving 
rates, inspecting dams, implementing compliance and enforcement 
activities, and providing other services to regulated businesses. In 
1999, these businesses will pay fees and charges sufficient to recover 
the Government's full costs of operations.

    The Commission's FY 1999 budget is structured to implement the 
Administration's policy to fund discretionary programs with user fees 
that are offsetting collections. While revenues collected in FY 1999 
will continue to offset the Commission's appropriation, the collections 
will not be available for obligation in FY 1999. For FY 2000 and 
subsequent years, budget levels set by appropriations acts will be made 
available from the previous year's collections retained in this account. 
In the event of insufficient revenue, a General Fund appropriation will 
be requested. Any excess funds remaining after appropriation of 
offsetting collections will be returned to the Treasury.

    Natural gas and oil.--The Commission is responsible for the 
regulation of about 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 
more than $7 million in revenues to the U.S. Treasury in 1997.

    Electric power.--The Commission is responsible for setting rates for 
the interstate transmission and wholesale sales of electric energy and 
for authorizing certain public utility corporate transactions. The 
Commission approves rates for all Federal power marketing 
administrations except TVA. Since enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 
1992, the Commission has introduced a number of initiatives to foster 
competition in the generation sector of the electric utility industry 
while continuing to ensure system reliability. In 1996, the Commission 
issued Order Nos. 888 and 889, which require all jurisdictional public 
utilities to provide open access transmission service to all customers 
under standard terms and conditions. In the wake of Order Nos. 888 and 
889, new market institutions are developing. For example, many utilities 
are turning over control of their transmission systems to Independent 
System Operators, which requires Commission approval. The Commission 
also certifies three special classes of power generators: cogeneration 
facilities, small power production facilities, and exempt wholesale 
generators.

    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 canceled, the canceled 
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.

    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 
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.

    Title XXXIV, Subtitle B of Public Law 104-106 requires the 
Department to sell government's interest in Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 
1 (Elk Hills) pursuant to the terms of the Act. The sale is scheduled to 
occur in February 1998, following a statutorily-required 31-day 
congressional review period.

    Section 3415 of the Act requires, among other things, that the 
Department make an offer of settlement based on the fair value of the 
State of California's longstanding claims to two parcels of land 
(``school lands'') within the Reserve. Under the Act, as is provided for 
in appropriation acts, nine percent of the net proceeds is to be 
reserved in contingent fund in the Treasury for payment to the State. In 
compliance with the Act and in order to remove any cloud over title 
which could diminish the sales value of the Reserve, the Department 
entered into a Settlement Agreement with the State on October 18, 1996. 
That Agreement calls for payment to the State, subject to 
appropriations, of nine percent of the net proceeds of sale, payable 
over a seven-year period (without interest), commencing in Fiscal Year 
1999. Under the Settlement Agreement and provided that funds are 
appropriated, the first five installments are for $36,000,000 each year, 
and the remaining balance is to be paid in two equal installments in 
years six and seven, FY 2004 and FY 2005.

    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.

    In FY 1999, the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management 
Program will focus on the completion of activities that are in direct 
support of key program milestones that are planned for completion within 
the next several fiscal years. The ongoing technical, scientific, and 
environmental documentation activities continue to be critical to the 
Program's ability to meet successfully three of the most significant 
milestones since the Program's inception--issuance of the Final 
Environmental Impact Statement and accompanying Record of Decision in 
2000; preparation and submission of the Site Recommendation Report to 
the President in 2001 should the Yucca Mountain site be found suitable 
for development as a repository; and the preparation and submission of 
the License Application for repository construction to the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission in 2002.

    The key FY 1999 activities that the Program will complete to support 
the major outyear milestones noted above are: 1) issuance of the draft 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Yucca Mountain site for public 
review and comment, as required by the National Environmental Policy 
Act; 2) completion of the Phase II Design of the Mined Geologic Disposal 
System to support the total system performance assessment that will be a 
key component of the Program's License Application for the Yucca 
Mountain site, should it be found suitable; and 3) completion of the 
Peer Review for the Total System Performance Assessment component of the 
Viability Assessment. This activity also supports the planned License 
Application.

    The outyear funding for this account does not reflect the impact of 
the 1998 viability assessment.

    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 1997 and 
    are estimated to be $145 million for fiscal year 1998 and $170 
    million for fiscal year 1999.
        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 1999, SEPA customers will pay wheeling fees directly to 
    transmission suppliers.

    Based on Administration policy the Southeastern Power Administration 
will set rates, consistent with current law, to recover the full cost of 
the Civil Service Retirement System and Post-Retirement Health Benefits, 
for its employees, that have not been recovered in the past. The 
estimated increase in receipts to the Treasury is $3 million annually.

    For display purposes only, the unobligated balances of this account 
include a continuing fund of $50 thousand, maintained from receipts from 
the transmission and sale of electric power in the southeastern area, 
which is available to defray expenses necessary to ensure continuity of 
services (16 U.S.C. 825s-2).

    The Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) operates in a 
six-State area as a marketing agent for hydroelectric power produced at 
Corps of Engineers dams. It also operates and maintains some 2,225 
kilometers (1,380 miles) of high voltage transmission lines, 24 
substations and switching stations, and 46 VHF radio and microwave 
stations. Southwestern sells its power at wholesale primarily to 
publicly and cooperatively owned electric distribution utilities. Its 
power sales contracts provide for periodic rate adjustments to ensure 
that the Federal Government recovers all costs of operation and all 
capital invested in power, with interest, in keeping with statutory 
requirements.

    Southwestern also is responsible for scheduling and dispatching 
power, negotiating power sales contracts, and constructing facilities 
required to meet changing customer load requirements.

    Program Direction.--This activity provides for the overall direction 
and support of Southwestern's program activities and includes salaries 
and benefits, travel, support services and other related expenses such 
as rent, utilities, communications, supplies, materials and building 
maintenance.

    Systems operation and maintenance.--Provision is made for 
engineering assessments of issues and alternatives that could adversely 
impact or optimize the operation of Southwestern's hydroelectric 
resources. Provision also is made for maintenance and improvement of the 
transmission system and related facilities to ensure reliable service, 
negotiation and administration of power contracts, collection of 
revenue, development of wholesale power rates and the amortization of 
the power investment. Actual proprietary receipts in the amount of $102 
million were deposited in the Treasury in 1997. Estimated proprietary 
receipts in the amount of $95 million in 1998 and $93 million in 1999 
are expected.

    Purchase power and wheeling.--Provision is made for the payment of 
wheeling fees and for the purchase of energy in connection with the 
marketing of power under contracts with utility companies.

    Construction.--The construction program provides for transmission, 
substation, switching and control facility projects to transmit power 
generated at Corps of Engineers' hydroelectric projects in the 
Southwest. This program is coordinated with the Corps of Engineers' 
construction program and customer requirements.

    Reimbursable program.--This program involves services provided by 
Southwestern Power Administration to others under various types of 
reimbursable arrangements.

    Based on Administration policy the Southwestern Power Administration 
will set rates, consistent with current law, to recover the full cost of 
the Civil Service Retirement System and Post-Retirement Health Benefits, 
for its employees, that have not been recovered in the past. The 
estimated increase in receipts to the Treasury is $2 million annually.

    For display purposes only, the unobligated balances of this account 
include a continuing fund of $300 thousand, which is replenished from 
power receipts and is available permanently for emergency expenses that 
would be necessary to ensure continuity of service (16 U.S.C. 825s-1; 63 
Stat. 767; 65 Stat. 249).

    The Western Area Power Administration (Western) markets electric 
power in 15 western States from federally-owned power plants operated 
primarily by the Bureau of Reclamation, Corps of Engineers, and the 
International Boundary and Water Commission. Western operates and 
maintains approximately 16,850 circuit-miles of high-voltage 
transmission lines and 258 substations/switchyards, and constructs 
additions and modifications to existing facilities.

    In keeping with statutory requirements, Western's long-term power 
contracts allow for periodic rate adjustments to ensure that the Federal 
Government recovers costs of operation, other costs allocated to power, 
and the capital investment in power facilities, with interest.

    Systems operation and maintenance.--A total of 13 power systems will 
be operated and maintained.

    Power is sold to wholesale customers such as municipalities, 
cooperatives, irrigation districts, public utility districts, State and 
Federal Government agencies, and private utilities. Receipts are 
deposited in the Reclamation Fund, the Falcon and Amistad Operating and 
Maintenance Fund, the General fund, the Colorado River Dam Fund, the 
Central Valley Project Restoration Fund, the Colorado River Basins Power 
Marketing Fund.

    Purchase of power and wheeling.--The program provides for firming 
energy purchases and wheeling necessary to meet power sales authorized 
by law. 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 $5,036,000 
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.

    Based on Adminstration policy, the Western Area Power Administration 
will set rates, consistent with current law, 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 8 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 1999 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 1999.

    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 payment of the operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs of the 29 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.

    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.

[[Page 388]]

    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 1999 capital 
obligations are estimated to be $258 million. To the extent BPA capital 
borrowing authority is insufficient in 1999, BPA would use cash reserves 
generated by revenues from customers, if available, to finance some of 
these investments.

    In FY 1997, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $775 million and 
also expects to make payments of $774 million in 1998 and $712 million 
in 1999. The 1999 payment will be distributed as follows: U.S. Army 
Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service O&M ($110 million), 
interest on bonds and appropriations ($438 million), and amortization 
($164 million).

    Direct loans.--During FY 1999, no new direct loan obligations may be 
made.

    Operating results.--Total revenues are forecast at approximately 
$2.3 billion in FY 1999.

    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.

    Consistent with Administration policy, BPA will continue 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. The personnel 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 transferred to the Lower 
Colorado River Basin Development Fund.

    Fort Peck Project.--Revenue collected by Western is used to defray 
operation and maintenance and power marketing expenses associated with 
the power generation and transmission facilities of the Fort Peck 
Project, Corps of Engineers--Civil, to defray emergency expenses, and 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.

    Based on Administration policy, Western Area Power Administration 
will set rates, consistent with current law, to recover the full cost of 
the Civil Service Retirement System and Post-Retirement Health Benefits, 
for its employees, that have not been recovered in the past. The 
estimated increase in receipts to the Treasury is $1 million annually.

    The Department's working capital fund, established in FY 1997, 
provides common administrative services such as building space, 
information and telecommunications services, supplies, printing, and 
copying. 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. In FY 1998 
contract audit services were removed from the fund while payroll 
processing was added.
