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

This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology,
research and development activities including laboratory and center
supplies, certain operating expenses (including activities under the
Working Capital Fund), contracts, grants, intergovernmental agreements,
and purchases of scientific equipment. These activities provide the
scientific and technology basis for EPA's regulatory actions. Funding
for the Office of Research and Development and activities in this
account under the Climate Change Technology Initiative are included in
the 21st Century Research Fund.

Superfund research costs are appropriated in the Hazardous Substance
Superfund appropriation and transferred to this account to allow for
proper accounting. A portion of funding provided through this account to
support the mobile sources program is to be derived from fees charged
for motor vehicle engine certifications that are deposited in the
Environmental Services special fund.

This appropriation supports core Agency programs and a number of the
Agency's ten goals. Specifically in 2001, our emphasis will be placed on
the following:

Clean Air.--To ensure that every American community has safe and
healthy air to breathe, the EPA will conduct a range

[[Page 933]]

of science and technology activities. These include research on the
effects to human health of toxic air pollutants, and research on
criteria air pollutants (ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen dioxide, lead, and particulate matter) to develop the
scientific basis for the EPA's national ambient air quality standards.
The EPA will also develop control measures for mobile sources, including
the development of cleaner engine technologies, and cleaner burning
fuels. The EPA will also support the Clean Air Status and Trends Network
(CASNet), a dry deposition monitoring network.

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

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

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

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

Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental Risks.--The
United States will lead other nations in successful, multilateral
efforts to reduce significant risks to human health and ecosystems from
climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, and other hazards of
international concern. The Agency will continue to work with the U.S.
automobile industry and other government agencies to develop a ``clean
car,'' a vehicle that would meet the 2004 goals of the Partnership for a
New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV) to have three times the fuel
efficiency of today's cars (representing a 67 percent reduction in
carbon dioxide emissions), with no sacrifice of performance, size, or
affordability while meeting stringent future safety and emission
standards. Through its Transportation Efficiency Program, EPA will
support ongoing efforts to provide public information about
transportation choices and consumers' impact on air quality, traffic
congestion and climate changes.

Expansion of Americans' Right to Know About Their Environment.--To
assist efforts in providing the public with information about the
environment, the EPA will focus on improving data collection and data
quality and on deploying new technologies for real time and automated
measurement, monitoring, and information delivery. As part of the
environmental monitoring for public access and community tracking
(EMPACT) initiative, which is being established to provide environmental
information in the 86 largest U.S. metropolitan areas, the EPA will
evaluate and modify existing risk assessment tools for use by local
stakeholders.

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

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

This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts,
grants, and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement, control, and
compliance activities and administrative activities of the operating
programs, including activities under the Working Capital Fund. In
addition, activities in this account under the Climate Change Technology
Initiative are included in the 21st Century Research Fund.

This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the
Agency's ten goals. Specifically in 2001, EPA will emphasize the
following:

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

[[Page 935]]

also develop control measures for stationary and other sources that are
regulated at the Federal level. The Acid Rain program will continue its
market-based approach to achieving reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide
and nitrogen oxides primarily from electric utilities.

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

Safe Food.--To ensure that the foods Americans eat will be free from
unsafe pesticide residues, EPA will continue to set terms and conditions
of food/feed-use registration, marketing and use. Through the
registration, reregistration, and special review programs, food/feed-use
pesticides will undergo extensive review and evaluation of health data.
EPA intends to decrease the use of pesticides with the highest potential
to cause adverse effects and increase the number of registrations of
safer pesticides.

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

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

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

Expansion of Americans' Right to Know About Their Environment.--Easy
access to a wealth of information about the state of their local
environment will expand citizen involvement and give people tools to
protect their families and their communities as they see fit. To achieve
this goal, EPA will increase education, outreach, and data availability
programs. The Agency will expand the coverage of pollutants, pollution
sources, and data elements in EPA's Toxic Release Inventory, and ensure
compliance with reporting requirements. The Agency will also improve
electronic access to information by significantly expanding the type and
amount of information available on the Internet. High quality, accurate
environmental information is a strategic resource for protecting public
health and the environment. To improve on and make the most effective
use of this important resource, EPA has consolidated many of its
information activities under a single program manager and office
integrating various aspects of information management, policy and
information technology stewardship at EPA.

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

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

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

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

Clean and Safe Water.--This Agency goal is to ensure people are
provided clean and safe water to drink, and to protect and restore
America's water bodies to improve public health, enhance water quality,
reduce flooding, and provide wildlife habitat. In support of this goal,
EPA will provide funds for capitalization grants to States for Clean
Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs), the purpose of which are to make low
interest loans to communities and grants to Indian Tribes and Alaska
Native Villages to construct wastewater treatment infrastructure, and
fund other projects to enhance water quality. Since 1989, the Federal
Government has invested approxi

[[Page 938]]

mately $17 billion in grants to help capitalize the 51 SRFs. With
required State match, additional State contribution, and funds from
program leveraging, funds available for such loans total approximately
$30 billion. The Administration's goal is for the Clean Water SRFs
eventually to provide an average of $2 billion a year in loans.
Appropriations language is being proposed to address the growing funding
needs of States and tribes to address non-point source pollution.

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

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

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

The Budget includes $50 million for a new competitive grant program
with a 40 percent non-Federal cost share to clean up the polluted Great
Lakes ``areas of concern'' defined by the bi-national Great Lakes Water
Quality Agreement. The Budget also includes $45 million for a new effort
to help States implement programs to develop Total Maximum Daily Load
allocations for polluted waterbodies. This new effort will also include
a 40 percent non-Federal cost share.

Clean Air.--To ensure that every American Community has safe and
healthy air to breathe, EPA will provide funds to states to upgrade and
improve air monitoring networks to obtain better data on emissions of
particulate matter, air toxics in urban areas, and ozone in rural areas.
EPA will offer media-specific and multi-media, and/or Performance
Partnership grants to States and Tribes, and technical assistance to aid
in the development of State and Tribal Implementation Plans to support
solutions that address local air needs.

The Budget includes $85 million for a new Clean Air Partnership Fund
that will enable the development of smart multi-pollutant strategies to
protect our health and our climate. The Fund will be used to capitalize
local revolving funds and provide money for other financing mechanisms
to fund projects that achieve innovative and early air pollution and
greenhouse gas emission reductions.

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

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

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

Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental Risks.--The
Agency will provide direct grant assistance to address the serious
environmental and human health problems associated with untreated and
industrial and municipal sewage on the U.S.-Mexico border. In 2001 a
cumulative 600 thousand residents of the U.S.-Mexico border area will be
protected from health risks because of the construction of adequate
water and wastewater sanitation systems since 1994. These funds also
support attainment for the Clean and Safe Water goal.

Expansion of Americans' Right to Know About Their Environment.--EPA,
in partnership with States and Tribes and in close consultation with its
environmental information stakeholders, will develop an integrated
environmental information system and data exchange network to improve
environmental decision making and results reporting, reduce reporting
burden on the regulated community and the States and provide more
reliable, high quality information to the public. Working together, EPA,
States and Tribes will establish data standards and shared business
practices that cover most of the environmental information that
regulated entities report to government.

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

Environmental Services

Contingent upon enactment of authorizing legislation, the
Administration shall reinstate fees for applicants for registration and
amendments to registration under section 3 and experimental use permits
under section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act, and shall increase fees for persons required to submit data under
sections 4 and 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act. Such fees shall be
deposited in a special fund in the U.S. Treasury, which thereafter will
be available subject to appropriation in advance to carry out the
Agency's activities for which such fees are collected.

A special fund was established for the deposit of fee receipts
associated with environmental programs, including motor vehicle engine
certifications. Receipts in this special fund will be appropriated to
the Science and Technology account in 2001 to finance the expenses of
the programs that generate the receipts. Contingent appropriations
language is being proposed to impose user fees on manufacturers of
pesticides to recover the costs of EPA's Pesticide Registration Program
and use those fees to fund the program. The appropriations language is
contingent upon the enactment of legislation that authorizes the fees.
Congressional action is required to activate a user fee rule promulgated
by EPA that was subsequently suspended by Congress. A similar approach
is being used to put into effect a proposal to modify the cap on the
allowable fee that can be charged to recover the costs of EPA's
Premanufacture Notification program, for which EPA will issue a
rulemaking. Enactment of this appropriations language would generate $20
million in receipts that would be discretionary under the Budget
Enforcement Act.

EPA received authority to establish a Working Capital Fund (WCF) and
was designated a franchise fund pilot under Public Law 103-356, the
Government Management and Reform Act of 1994. EPA's WCF became
operational in 1997 and includes two activities: Enterprise Technology
Services Division's computer operations and Agency postage. The 2001
amount reflects only base resources and may change during the year as
programmatic needs change. The Agency received permanent authority for
the WCF in P.L. 105-65, which among other things is intended to increase
competition for government administrative services resulting in lower
costs and higher quality.

====================================

This appropriation provides funds for the implementation of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensa- tion and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities under the Working
Capital Fund. Funding for activities in this account for the Office of
Research and Development are included in the 21st Century Research Fund.
This appropriation supports core Agency programs and a number of the
Agency's ten goals. Specifically in 2001, emphasis will be placed on the
following:

Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
and Emergency Response.--EPA will complete cleanups at 75 sites and
conduct 275 removal actions. Through 1999, cleanups had been completed
at 670 sites, and 5,929 removal actions had been taken at 4,258 sites.
EPA will also work to maximize responsible parties' participation in
site cleanups while promoting fairness in the enforcement process, and
pursue greater recovery of EPA's cleanup costs. In addition, EPA will
fund supplemental brownfields site assessments in 50 communities,
resulting in a cumulative total of 2,100 sites assessed, the generation
of 5,400 jobs, and the leveraging of $1.8 billion in cleanup and
redevelopment funds, and will fund brownfields cleanup revolving loan
funds in 70 communities. EPA will allocate funds from its appropriation
to other Federal agencies to carry out the Act. Legislation will be
proposed to extend the taxes supporting the trust fund.

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

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

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

The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund, authorized
by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, as amended
by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 and the Taxpayer Relief
Act of 1997, provides funds for responding to releases from leaking
underground petroleum tanks, including activities under the Working
Capital Fund. The Trust Fund is financed by a 0.1 cent a gallon tax on
motor fuels, that will expire after March 31, 2005.

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

This appropriation supports core Agency programs and two of the
Agency's ten goals. Specifically in 2001, emphasis will be placed on the
following:

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

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