Weapons activities.--This program includes the following activities:
Stockpile Stewardship.--This activity provides for the research,
development, and engineering activities to support assessments of
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. The Accelerated Strategic Computing
Initiative will develop and deploy advanced simulation and modeling
technologies as a means to confidently mitigate the loss of nuclear
testing. The ASCI program will provide detailed, experimentally-
validated computational models of weapon performance and safety to
support the near and long-term certification and assessment
responsibilities for the aging nuclear weapons stockpile in the
absence of nuclear testing. 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; educational activities
and the transfer of nonsensitive Defense Programs' funded technology
to the private sector is supported.
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 pro
[[Page 390]]
grams 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. The Department has now selected
the purchase of irradiation services from commercial light water
reactors as the primary option and will complete the essential
design elements of the accelerator technology as back up.
Weapons Program Direction.--This activity provides personnel and
contractual services for the Federal management, direction, and
administration of Defense Programs' missions.

Environmental Management.--The Environmental Management (EM) program
is responsible for addressing the environmental legacy resulting from
the production of nuclear weapons. The nuclear weapons complex generated
waste, pollution, and contamination that pose unique problems, including
un
[[Page 391]]
precedented volumes of contaminated soil and water, radiological hazards
from special nuclear material, and a vast number of contaminated
structures. Factories, laboratories and thousands of square miles of
land were devoted to producing tens of thousands of nuclear weapons.
Much of this infrastructure, waste, and contamination still exists and
is largely maintained, decommissioned, managed, and remediated by the EM
program, which is sometimes referred to as the ``cleanup program.'' EM's
responsibilities include facilities and sites in 30 states and one
territory, and occupy an area equal to that of Rhode Island and Delaware
combined--or about 2.1 million acres.
The EM program has established a goal of cleaning up as many of its
contaminated sites as possible by 2006, in a manner that is safe and
protects the environment. By working towards this goal, EM can reduce
the hazards presently facing its workforce and the public, and reduce
the financial burden on the taxpayer. The FY 2000 budget request
continues to reflect the program's emphasis on site closure and project
completion.
The FY 2000 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; Nevada Test Site, Nevada; Oak Ridge
Reservation, Tennessee; and the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in
Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Office of Science and Technology.--Conducts technology
development and deployment assistance activities for the
Department's major environmental management problems to reduce risk
to workers, the public, and the environment; reduce cleanup costs;
and/or provide solutions that do not currently exist to problems
shared by multiple sites. Includes the Environmental Management
Science program which conducts a targeted long-term basic research
program for Environmental Management's most intractable problems to
significantly reduce long-term cleanup costs and risks to workers
and the public; conducted in partnership with DOE's Office of
Science. 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.
EM 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 with
emphasis on the reduction of support costs and implementation of
performance-based contracts.

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 are excess to DOE's needs. This
contracting 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 result in substantial savings over the
life-cycle of the projects, when compared to DOE's traditional
approach of designing, constructing and operating a government-owned
facility. Funds in this account will allow DOE to enter into these
contracts and assures private investors that funds will be available
to pay for services once the facilities are built.

Other defense activities.--This program includes the following
activities:
Nonproliferation and National Security.--The Department's
Nonproliferation and National Security activities consist of the
following areas: Nonproliferation and Verification, Research and
Development, Arms Control and Nonproliferation, Nuclear Safeguards and
Security, Security Investigations, Emergency Management, International
Nuclear Safety, Highly Enriched Uranium Transparency Implementation, 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; FY 2000 activities include
increases for the DOE portion of a comprehensive interagency program to
further reduce the danger posed by weapons of mass destruction and
related fissile materials. 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; (4) responding to weapons of mass destruction
emergencies; and (5) reduce the national security and environment
threats posed by the operation of unsafe nuclear facilities worldwide.
Intelligence.--The Department's Intelligence activities consist of
providing the Department, other U.S. Government policy makers, and the
Intelligence Community with timely, accurate high impact foreign
intelligence analyses; providing quick-turnaround, specialized
technology applications and operational support to the intelligence,
special operations, and law enforcement communities; and ensuring that
the Department's technical, analytical and research expertise is made
available to the Intelligence Community in accordance with executive
Order 12333, ``United States Intelligence Activities.''
Counterintelligence.--The Office of Counterintelligence was
established as an independent office as the result of classified
Presidential Decision Directive NSC-61, ``U.S. DOE Counterintelligence
Program'', dated February 11, 1998. Its mission is to develop and
implement an effective Counterintelligence Program throughout the
Department of Energy to identify, neutralize and deter foreign
government or industrial intelligence activities directed at or
involving DOE programs, personnel, facilities, technologies, classified
information and unclassified sensitive information. This program is also
responsible for approving, conducting, coordinating all policy and
investigative matters with the Federal Bureau of Investigation at
Headquarters and in the field.
Fissile Materials Disposition.--This program is responsible for
storage and disposition of surplus weapons-usable fissile materials.
Highly enriched uranium will be blended down to low enriched uranium for
use as commercial reactor fuel. Plutonium will be immobilized with
ceramic material and burned as mixed oxide (MOX) fuel in existing
domestic commercial reactors. Sites for plutonium disposition facilities
will be made in a Record of Decision in the near term. In FY 2000, DOE
will continue tests, process development and technology demonstrations
required for plutonium disposition; perform detailed design of the pit
disassembly and conversion facility and the MOX fuel fabrication
facility; start design of the immobilization facility; and proceed with
facilities in Russia in the initial phase of U.S.-Russia cooperation as
defined in a bilateral agreement on plutonium disposition. The 1999
funding includes $200 million which can be obligated
[[Page 394]]
only to implement a U.S./Russian accord for the disposition of excess
plutonium. That accord is currently being negotiated.
Worker and Community Transition.--This program provides for the
development, implementation, and funding 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 2000, the program expects to reach
5,100 cumulative reactor-years of safe operation, and will continue to
support and improve operating reactors and plant components, carry out
test activities and verification develop nuclear reactor plant
components and systems for the Navy's new attack submarine, and maintain
or shut down aging facilities as appropriate.
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 2000 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 2000 high energy physics budget request will support the
continued operation of two of the Department's major high energy physics
facilities: the Tevatron and the Stanford B-Factory. In addition, $70
million, an increase of $5 million, is provided for the Department's FY
2000 contribution to U.S. participation in the Large Hadron Collider
project at the European Center for Nuclear Research.
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 2000 request provides $6.6 million
to continue the upgrades of the two detectors at Fermilab, the Collider
Detector Facility and D-Zero. The request also includes $22.0 million
for the neutrinos at the Main Injector Project and $4.7 million for
Wilson Hall safety improvements, and $2.0 million for the SLAC Research
Office building.
Superconducting Super Collider.--The Department will continue the
orderly termination of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) in 2000,
as directed by Congress in the 1994 Energy and Water Development
Appropriations Act. No additional funding for such activities is
requested in 2000.
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 2000, the program will continue to focus on the role
of quarks in the composition and interactions of nuclei, the application
of nuclear physics methods to astrophysical problems, the properties of
neutrinos, and the mechanisms by which colliding nuclei exchange mass,
energy, and angular momentum.
The nuclear physics program supports and provides experimental
equipment to qualified scientists and research groups conducting
experiments at nuclear physics accelerator facilities. In addition,
nuclear physics accelerators generate many of the radioisotopes used for
medical diagnosis and treatments; support several cooperative programs
in biomedical research and atomic physics; and provide training
opportunities for health physicists concerned with radiation-effects on
humans.
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility/Continuous
Electron Beam Accelerator Facility experimental program began in FY 1996
and will continue in FY 2000 with the conduct of research in all three
experimental halls. Experimental operations at the Radioactive Ion Beam
facility in
[[Page 396]]
Oak Ridge National Laboratory will continue in 2000. 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.
However the Bates accelerator will terminate operations in FY 2000.
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) research program will
initiate its first full year of operation.
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 2000 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. The Climate Change
Technology Initiative continues in FY 2000, focusing on science related
to carbon sequestration and sequencing of genomes of microbes that use
carbon dioxide to produce methane and hydrogen. In conjunction with the
CTR program a global systems application is initiated to accelerate
progress in coupled general circulation model development through use of
enhanced computer simulation and modeling.
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 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 2000 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 $214 million in FY 2000 to
continue construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the
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 Technology Initiative (CCTI). In
conjunction with the CTR program, a combustion systems integrated
application is initiated to understand the combustion process through
use of enhanced computer simulation and modeling.
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 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. Fabrication of the NSTX experiment at PPPL will continue and NSTX
will begin its first full year of operation. Research on alternate
concepts, both magnetic and inertial is continued to identify approaches
that may improve the economical and environmental attractiveness of
fusion. Theory and modeling efforts also will be supported. U.S.
participation in the ITER Engineering and Design Activity (EDA), was
completed in FY 1998 and the project was closed out in FY 1999.
Energy research analyses.--This activity involves objective
assessments to evaluate the quality and impact of DOE research programs
and projects.
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
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 2000 budget
request includes $15 million for the ``Next Generation Internet''
Initiative. The request includes an initiative integrated with the BES
and BER programs, that provides hardware, software and networking
infrastructure needed for application of computer simulation and
modeling to science problems.
21st Century Research Fund.--The Science programs are included in
the 21st Century Research Fund.

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 2000 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 2000 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 Concentrating Solar Power:
working with industry to develop reliable and efficient power tower and
dish/engine systems, while reducing the costs of these emerging
technologies and existing parabolic trough systems; (4) in wind energy:
developing and testing utility-grade wind turbines in collaboration with
utilities and industry; and (5) in Biopower Energy Systems and Biofuels
Energy Systems: 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
[[Page 398]]
technologies, the 2000 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 U.S. Initiative
on Joint Implementation, 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 technologies for transmission reliability and
distributed power, 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.
Transmission Reliability develops advanced technologies and systems to
enable reliable and efficient electric power systems, and the
integration of distributed 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 2000 budget request continues to support the Nuclear Energy
Research Initiative (NERI), 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 104 nuclear power plants.
Nuclear fission programs also include ongoing support to: (1) build
and deliver advanced nuclear power systems to NASA and other federal
agencies; (2) provide radioisotopes for medical and other research
purposes; (3) support nuclear education; (4) oversee the legacy of the
nation's uranium supply and enrichment activities; and (5) ensure that
the Department's nuclear facilities are maintained in an environmentally
compliant condition.
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 improvement in programs and policies; conducting
independent oversight of environment, safety, health and security
performance; and providing technical assistance, resources and
information sharing.
The 2000 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.
Technical information management program.--This program provides
timely, accurate technical information to DOE's researchers and the
public by collecting, preserving, and disseminating scientific and
technical information, the principal product resulting from the multi-
billion dollar Department of Energy research and development (R&D)
program. The TIM program also provides worldwide energy scientific and
technical information to the Department of Energy (DOE, the United
States (U.S.), Industry, academia, and the public through interagency
and international scientific and technical information exchange
agreements and coordinates technical information-related activities
across DOE and its laboratories.
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 four
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, public and congressional liaison, 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.
21st Century Research Fund.--The Solar and Renewable Energy Program
is included in the 21st Century Research Fund.

Environmental Management.--The Environmental Management (EM) Program
is responsible for addressing the environmental legacy resulting from
nuclear energy and weapons research activities. The nuclear energy
research and development efforts of the Department of Energy and its
predecessors generated waste, pollution, and contamination that pose
unique problems, including unprecedented volumes of contaminated soil
and water, radiological hazards from special nuclear material, and a
vast number of contaminated structures. Much of this infrastructure,
waste, and contamination still exists and is largely maintained,
decommissioned, managed, and remediated by the EM program, which is
sometimes referred to as the ``cleanup program.'' EM's responsibilities
include facilities and sites in 30 states and one territory, and occupy
an area equal to that of Rhode Island and Delaware combined--or about
2.1 million acres.
The EM program has established a goal of cleaning up as many of its
contaminated sites as possible by 2006, in a manner that is safe and
protects the environment. By working towards this goal, EM can reduce
the hazards presently facing its workforce and the public, and reduce
the financial burden on the taxpayer. The FY 2000 budget request
continues to reflect the program's emphasis on site closure and project
completion--in other words, finishing the work as quickly as possible.
The FY 2000 budget request will support the following major program
areas:
Site Closure.--This account provides funding for completing cleanup
and closing facilities with no enduring Federal presence on site, except
for stewardship activities. This account includes the following sites:
Grand Junction, Colorado, Weldon Spring, Missouri, West Valley, New
York, and Battelle Columbus Laboratory and Mount Plant, Ohio. The
Department has established a goal of completing cleanup activities
budgeted for in this account by 2006.
Site/Project Completion.--This account provides funding for
environmental management projects that will be completed by 2006 at (1)
EM sites where overall site cleanup will not be fully accomplished by
2006; and (2) DOE sites where all EM projects will be completed by 2006
(except for long-term stewardship activities), but where there will be a
continuing federal workforce at the site to carry out enduring non-EM
missions, such as nuclear weapons support or scientific research, and
the necessary waste management to handle newly generated wastes from
these missions. This account includes projects and sites under the
following Operations Offices: Albuquerque, Chicago, Idaho, Oakland, and
Richland.
Post 2006 Completion.--This account funds projects that are expected
to require work beyond FY 2006. This includes projects at the following
Operations Offices: Albuquerque, Oak Ridge, as well as multi-site and
Headquarters activities.
EM activities performed include: environmental restoration, which
provides for assessments, characterization, remediation, and
decontamination and decommissioning of contaminated DOE facilities and

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 and focuses the program towards a concept
called Vision 21. Vision 21 is aimed at doubling the existing power
plant efficiency with the flexibility to produce high value products
from coal and other fuels while achieving near-zero pollution and
reducing energy costs.
Advanced clean/efficient Power Systems research and development
concentrates on a set of building-block technologies for Vision 21 that
will yield the clean coal power generation systems of the future.
Typically, many technologies contribute toward advancing any single
system.
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.
The natural gas program emphasizes enhanced gas production and high
efficiency, low NOX turbines.
As in all other programs, cost-sharing by industry is a key feature.
The national laboratory partnership focuses on
[[Page 401]]
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. In combination with high efficiency
turbines as hybrid power plants, fuel cells can further enhance the
energy efficiency of these super-clean systems for distributed
generation.
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) and at the Federal Energy Technology Center
Pittsburgh Office (formerly the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center). 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.

The Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves has historically produced
oil and related hydrocarbons from the Naval Petroleum Reserves at the
maximum efficient rates of production pursuant to the enabling
legislation, the Naval Petroleum Reserves Production Act of 1976.
Petroleum products were most frequently sold competitively in the open
market generating net operating profits averaging over $200 million per
year over the previous five fiscal years.
Pursuant to Public Law 104-106, the National Defense Authorization
Act of FY 1996, DOE offered Naval Petroleum Reserve Numbered 1 (NPR-1 of
Elk Hills) for sale. On October 5, 1997, DOE accepted Occidental
Petroleum Corporation's bid for $3.65 billion, and the new owner assumed
operation of the field in early February 1998. Even so, a number of
post-sale activities remain. The most significant is the settlement of
ownership equity shares with the former unit-partner in the NPR-1 field,
Chevron USA, Inc. Geologic, petroleum and reservoir engineering services
are required to prepare and support the Government's equity position
before an Independent Petroleum Engineer and the Assistant Secretary for
Fossil Energy, who is to impartially determine final
[[Page 402]]
equity shares. Each percentage point change in equity is worth millions
of dollars to the Government.
The primary objective at NPR-3 is to operate and produce the Reserve
to maximize profitability while preparing for the orderly abandonment of
the oil field. FY 2000 activities consist of continued conventional oil
field management and operating activities. Management initiatives which
have contributed to cost savings in prior years will be continued, and
new initiatives evaluated. Although no future development activities are
planned, NPR-3 should continue operating economically through
approximately FY 2003. At that time, NPR-3 is expected to be turned over
to the private sector or abandoned, consistent with Congressional
authorization, coinciding with completion of the well abandoned program
so that the associated environmental liabilities will not be passed on
to potential new owners.
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.
[[Page 403]]
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
consumption, thus reducing pollution and vulnerability to oil price
shocks.
The activities and programs contained in the 2000 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 sector.--In partnership
with industry, the program will continue to develop, promote, and
integrate energy technologies and practices to make buildings more
efficient and affordable and communities more livable. The program focus
is on accelerating the introduction of highly efficient buildings
technologies and practices through research and development; increasing
the minimum efficiency of buildings and equipment through building
codes, appliance standards, and guidelines; and encouraging the use of
energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies and practices. The
Buildings Research and Standards Program integrates the research and
development activities to improve the energy efficiency of appliances,
building equipment, and the building envelope with the appliance and
lighting test procedures and standards and the building efficiency codes
and standards activities.
The Research and Standards program is complemented by the Building
Technology Assistance Program designed to move advanced technologies
into the marketplace and produce near-term energy savings with
associated economic and environmental benefits. The Building Technology
Assistance Program, including the Community Outreach and Energy Star
program, is designed to promote the adoption of energy efficient and
renewable energy technologies among States, municipalities,
institutions, and by private citizens. These 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. Conservation Grants programs--the
Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program--assist
States and localities in promoting energy efficiency.
Federal energy management program.--The Federal Energy Management
Program (FEMP) will continue to reduce the cost of energy in government
by advancing energy efficiency and water conservation, and to use solar
and other renewable energy sources. FEMP's major emphasis will be on
creating and sustaining a core level of Federal energy management as an
institutionalized activity at all Federal agencies and creating access
to private sector capital to fund energy efficiency and renewable energy
projects by Federal agencies, 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, agriculture, mining, 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. The Industries
of the Future (Crosscutting) develops technologies which are useful to
multiple industries simultaneously, such as power generation equipment,
combustion equipment, and sensors and controls. It delivers information
and tools to help plant managers make informed decisions on technology
choices today that result in energy, waste and dollar savings. In
addition, these programs develop advanced materials which address a
multitude of wear and corrosion problems, support new ideas from
inventors, and fund grants for demonstration of near-term viable
technologies.
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 vehicle fuel economy,
including hybrid vehicles, fuel cells, compression ignition direct

The object of this program is to reduce the vulnerability of the
United States to energy supply disruptions by maintaining a crude oil
stockpile capable of rapid deployment at the direction of the President.
This program enables the President to meet the Nation's membership
commitments within the International Energy Agency's coordinated energy
emergency response plans and programs to deter the use of energy supply
disruptions and to take effective, co-ordinated action should such an
energy supply disruption occur.
The account provides for petroleum reserve storage facility
construction, ongoing operations and maintenance activities, planning
studies, and program administration.
The key measure of program performance is expressed as capability to
comply with Level 1 Performance Criteria. These criteria are specific
engineered performance and reliability standards applied to critical
inventory storage, drawdown, and distribution systems required for
drawing down and distributing crude oil inventory.

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. These
businesses will pay fees and charges sufficient to recover the
Government's full costs of operations.
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 over 1,660 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 approximately $8
million in revenues to the U.S. Treasury in 1998.
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.

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
[[Page 408]]
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 were the subject of
litigation between the Department, Dakota Gasification Company and the
four pipeline companies which purchased synthetic gas from the plant.
Future revenue sharing payments to the Department are dependent upon
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 have received final Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) approval. In a separate agreement with DOE,
DGC agreed to pay DOE $25 million over the 7 year period of time DGC
receives the demand payments from the pipeline companies.
Elk Hills School Lands Fund
For necessary expenses in fulfilling the [first] second installment
payment under the Settlement Agreement entered into by the United States
and the State of California on October 11, 1996, as authorized by
section 3415 of Public Law 104-106, $36,000,000 for payment to the State
of California for the State Teachers' Retirement Fund from the Elk Hills
School Lands Fund. (Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental

Title XXXIV, Subtitle B of Public Law 104-106 required the
Department to sell the government's interest in Naval Petroleum Reserve
No. 1 (Elk Hills) pursuant to the terms of the Act. The sale occurred in
February 1998, following a statutorily-required 31-day congressional
review period.
Section 3415 of the Act required, 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, nine percent of
the net proceeds were 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 2000, the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management
Program will focus on the issuance of the Final Environmental Impact
Statement, as well as the completion of activities in direct support of
key program milestones 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; 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 following product-oriented performance measures are planned for
FY 2000 in support of the Program's key milestones including submittal
of the Site Recommendation Report and License Application: (1) complete
and issue the final Environmental Impact Statement; (2) select the
reference design for Site Recommendation and License Application; and
(3) select the natural system reference models for Site Recommendation
and License Application.
The Viability Assessment cost estimates reflect DOE's best
projections, given the scope of work identified and planned schedule of
required activities. Future budget requests for the Program have yet to
be established and will be determined through the annual executive and
congressional budget process.

The Alaska Power Administration (APA) was created in 1967 by the
Secretary of the Interior to assume the functions of the Bureau of
Reclamation in Alaska--the operations, maintenance, transmission, and
power marketing of the two Federal hydroelectric projects (Eklutna and
Snettisham), and the investigation of future water and power development
programs, in Alaska. In 1977, APA was transferred to DOE.
The Alaska Power Administration Asset Sale and Termination Act
(Public Law 104-58), signed into law on November 28, 1995, authorizes
and directs the sale of all Alaska Power Administration assets and the
subsequent termination of APA. The Eklutna Project was sold on October
2, 1997, for a cash payment of $5,953,000. The Snettisham Project was
sold on August 18, 1998, for $81,966,177. Under the terms of the APA
Asset Sale and Termination Act, APA has until August 18, 1999, to
complete the legislatively-mandated Report to Congress documenting the
asset sales and terminate the Power Administration.
Consistent with this mandate, all remaining Alaska activities of
APA, including the Juneau headquarters office, were terminated on
September 30, 1998. Unobligated Transition and Termination balances will
be used to complete remaining close-out activities and report
preparation in Washington, D.C.

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. 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.
During FY 2000 this account will operate on unobligated prior year
balances.
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
[[Page 413]]
power investment, energy efficiency and competitiveness program,
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 $141 million for fiscal year 1998 and are
estimated to be $133 million for fiscal year 1999 and $129 million
for fiscal year 2000.
Purchase power and wheeling.--Beginning in FY 2000, the
Southeastern Power Administration will no longer seek appropriations
for purchase power and wheeling activities. Instead, the customers
of Southeastern Power Administration will make their own power
purchases and transmission arrangements directly with suppliers.
Power receipts estimates have been reduced to reflect the reduced
spending by the Southeastern Power Administration.
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.
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).

[[Page 414]]
istration 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 $89 million were deposited
in the Treasury in 1998. Estimated proprietary receipts in the amount of
$95 million in 1999 and $92 million in 2000 are expected.
Purchase power and wheeling.--Beginning in FY 2000, the Southwestern
Power Administration will no longer seek appropriations for purchase
power and wheeling activities. Instead, the customers of Southwestern
Power Administration will make their own power purchase and transmission
arrangements directly with suppliers. Power receipts estimates have been
reduced to reflect the reduced spending by the Southwestern Power
Administration.
Construction.--The construction program provides for transmission,
substation, switching and control facility replacements and improvements
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 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, and the Colorado River Basins
Power Marketing Fund.
Purchase power and wheeling.--Beginning in FY 2000, the Western Area
Power Administration will no longer seek appropriations for purchase
power and wheeling activities. Instead, the customers of Western Area
Power Administration will make their own power purchases and
transmission arrangements directly with suppliers. Power receipts
estimates have been reduced to reflect the reduced spending by the
Western Area Power Administration.
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.
Beginning in FY 2000, Western will spend directly out of the
Colorado River Dam Fund for operations and maintenance activities
associated with the Boulder Canyon Project. The Colorado River Dam Fund
is a revolving fund operated by the Interior Department's Bureau of
Reclamation. Authority for Western to obligate directly from the
Colorado River Dam Fund comes from section 104(a) of the Hoover Power
Plant Act of 1984.
Based on Administration 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.
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 2000 to consist of an estimated 15,000 circuit miles of high-
voltage transmission lines and 360 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 forty
percent of the region's electric energy supply and about three-fourths
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 15,000
miles of line and 360 substations, and for maintaining the facilities
and equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 2000.
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.
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 2000 capital
obligations are estimated to be $352 million. To the extent BPA capital
borrowing authority is insufficient in 2000, BPA would use cash reserves
generated by revenues from customers, if available, to finance some of
these investments.
In FY 1998, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $804 million and
also expects to make payments of $607 million
[[Page 418]]
in 1999 and $618 million in 2000. The 2000 payment will be distributed
as follows: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
O&M ($14 million), interest on bonds and appropriations ($440 million),
and amortization ($164 million).
Direct loans.--During FY 2000, no new direct loan obligations may be
made.
Operating results.--Total revenues are forecast at approximately
$2.5 billion in FY 2000.
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 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.
