====================================
Beginning in FY 2001, Weapons activities appears under the National
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), reflecting its transfer within
DOE to the newly established NNSA. Also beginning in FY 2001, changes in
the structure of Weapons activities are proposed. The changes reflect
maturation of the stockpile stewardship programs without underground
nuclear testing, and are a result of numerous management studies that
have recommended a more unified program management approach that
includes closer integration of research, development, and production
activities.
Weapons activities provides for the maintenance and refurbishment of
nuclear weapons to sustain confidence in their safety, reliability, and
performance; expansion of scientific, engineering, and manufacturing
capabilities to enable certification of the enduring nuclear weapons
stockpile; and manufacture of nuclear weapon components under a
comprehensive test ban. Weapons activities also provide for continued
maintenance and investment in the Department's enterprise of nuclear
stewardship, including maintaining the capability to return to the
design and production of new weapons and to underground nuclear testing,
if so directed by the President. The major elements of the program
include the following:
Directed stockpile work.--Encompasses all activities that directly
support specific weapons in the stockpile. These activities include
maintenance and day-to-day care; planned refurbishment as outlined by
the Stockpile Life Extension Program (SLEP); reliability assessments;
weapon dismantlement and
[[Page 394]]
disposal; and research, development, and certification technology
efforts to meet future stockpile requirements.
Campaigns.--Focuses on scientific and technical efforts to develop
and maintain critical capabilities and tools needed to support continued
assessment and certification of the stockpile for the long term.
Readiness in technical base and facilities (RTBF).--Provides the
underlying physical infrastructure and operational readiness for the
Directed Stockpile Work and Campaign activities. These activities
include ensuring that facilities are operational, safe, secure, and
compliant with regulatory requirements, and that a defined level of
readiness is sustained at facilities funded by the Office of Defense
programs. The Department is still reviewing the budget structure changes
associated with RTBF, and may offer revisions as technical amendments to
the Weapons Activities budget request.
Secure transportation asset.--Provides for the safe, secure movement
of nuclear weapons, special nuclear material, and weapon components
between military locations and nuclear complex facilities within the
United States.
Construction.--Includes line item construction projects to
establish, maintain, and preserve the physical infrastructure of the
national security enterprise. Construction projects provide production
capability as well as state-of-the-art research and development
capabilities to enable continued maintenance and certification of the
nuclear weapons stockpile under a comprehensive test ban treaty.
Weapons program direction.--This activity provides personnel and
contractual services for the Federal management, direction, and
administration of Defense Programs' missions.

This account includes the following activities that were included in
past fiscal years under Other defense activities, but in FY 2001 are
proposed to be included within this new account under the National
Nuclear Security Administration:
[[Page 395]]
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, 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 2001 activities include
increases for the DOE portion of the Expanded Threat Reduction
Initiative to enhance protection and control of fissile material and
prevent further plutonium separation within Russia. 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 worldwide; (3) reversing the proliferation of nuclear
weapons capabilities; and (4) reducing the national security and
environmental threats posed by the operation of unsafe nuclear
facilities worldwide.
Fissile materials disposition.--The program is responsible for
disposition of U.S. surplus weapons-useable fissile materials, providing
key negotiation and technical support for efforts to attain reciprocal
actions for the disposition of surplus Russian plutonium, and storage of
surplus U.S. fissile materials pending disposition. Highly enriched
uranium (HEU) 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. Near term efforts include the design of U.S.
disposition facilities, the pit disassembly and conversion facility, the
MOX fuel fabrication facility, and the immobilization and associated
process facility. Negotiation of a bilateral agreement with Russia to
begin disposition of plutonium in the Russian Federation is expected to
be completed in spring of 2000. In FY 2001, DOE will continue production
mode testing and technology demonstrations for plutonium disposition;
perform detailed design of two disposition facilities; start design of
the immobilization facility; ship HEU for blend-down; and proceed with
facilities in Russia in the initial phase of U.S.-Russia cooperation as
defined in a bilateral agreement on plutonium disposition.
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 2001, the program expects to reach
5,400 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 next-
generation aircraft carriers, and maintain or shut down aging facilities
as appropriate.
Other.--This category includes obligations for a portion of the
projects reviewed under the independent assessment of DOE projects
funding. In addition, obligations are included for the close out of the
new production reactor program.

====================================
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
unprecedented 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.
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.
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 2001 budget request
continues to reflect the program's emphasis on site closure and project
completion.

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
For Department of Energy expenses, including the purchase,
construction and acquisition of plant and capital equipment and other
expenses necessary for atomic energy defense, other defense activities,
in carrying out the purposes of the Department of Energy Organization
Act (42 U.S.C. 7101 et seq.), including the acquisition or condemnation
of any real property or any facility or for plant or facility
acquisition, construction, or expansion, [$1,722,444,000] $555,122,000,
to remain available until expended[: Provided, That not to exceed $5,000
may be used for official reception and representation expenses for
transparency, national security and nonproliferation activities].

visits and assignments; plutonium, uranium, and special nuclear material
inventory; and security investigations. These programs provide policy,
programmatic direction and training for the protection of the
Department's nuclear weapons, nuclear materials, classified and
unclassified information, and facilities. The programs: ensure
protection of certain critical national infrastructures against physical
and cyber attacks; provide security clearances for federal and
contractor personnel; and ensures an integrated response to emergencies
affecting Departmental operations.
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.
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, gaseous diffusion plants, and radiation
effects research foundation support as well as program direction.
Independent oversight.--The Office of Independent Oversight and
Performance Assurance provides an independent assessment of the
effectiveness of Departmental policies and site performance in the areas
of safeguards, security, emergency management, cyber security, and other
critical functions. Appraisals are performed to determine whether site
programs are effectively implemented and achieving Department-wide and
site specific objectives.

This appropriation was established by Congress as part of the 1993
Energy and Water Development Appropriation (P.L. 102-377) in lieu of
payment from the Department of Energy into the Nuclear Waste Fund for
activities related to the disposal of defense high-level waste.
The program's 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.
Since passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended,
the Nuclear Waste Fund has incurred costs for activities related to
disposal of high-level waste generated from the atomic energy defense
activities of the Department of Energy. At the end of fiscal year 1999
the balance owed by the Federal Government to the Nuclear Waste Fund was
approximately $1,500,000,000 (including principal and interest). The
``Defense Nuclear Waste Disposal'' appropriation was established to
ensure payment of the Federal Government's contribution to the nuclear
waste repository program. Through fiscal year 1999, a total of
approximately $2,276,830,000 has been appropriated to support nuclear
waste repository activities attributed to atomic energy defense
activities.

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 2001 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 2001 high energy physics budget request will support the
continued operation of two of the Department's major high energy physics
facilities: the Fermilab Tevatron and the Stanford B-Factory. In
addition, $70 million is provided for the Department's FY 2001
contribution to continued 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 request also includes $23.0 million
for the neutrinos at the main
[[Page 401]]
injector project and $4.2 million for Wilson Hall safety improvements,
and $5.2 million for the SLAC research office building.
Superconducting Super Collider.--The Department will continue the
orderly termination of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) in 2001,
as directed by Congress in the 1994 Energy and Water Development
Appropriations Act. No additional funding for such activities is
requested in 2001.
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 2001, 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 2001 with the conduct of research in all three
experimental halls. Preparations at the MIT/Bates accelerator for a new
program of research utilizing the BLAST large acceptance detector will
continue. Experimental operations at the Radioactive Ion Beam facility
in Oak Ridge National Laboratory will continue in 2001. Operation of
ATLAS (ANL), AGS (BNL), and the 88-inch cyclotron (LBNL) will be
supported, as will the operation of the university-based accelerator
laboratories.
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) research program will
reach full data production capabilities in FY 2001.
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 2001 activities include
programs in global climate change; terrestrial, atmospheric and marine
environmental processes; molecular, cellular and systemic studies on the
biological effects of radiation; 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 2001, 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 ASCR program a global
systems application is continued to accelerate progress in coupled
general circulation model development through use of enhanced computer
simulation and modeling. An accelerated life sciences program is
included for microbial cell ($10 million) and biomedical engineering ($5
million) research. The request also includes $2.5 million to initiate
construction of the Laboratory for Comparative and Functional Genomics
at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
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 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 2001 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
to continue an instrumentation enhancement of the Department's neutron
source at the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center.
In addition, the BES request includes $281 million in FY 2001 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. 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). The multi-agency national nanotechnology program is
funded in FY 2001 with $36.2 million of new funding. The request also
includes $2.5 million for microbial cell research as part of an enhanced
life sciences program.
Fusion Energy Sciences Program.--The fusion energy sciences program
for FY 2001 is designed to incorporate the results of the Secretary of
Energy Advisory Board and recommendations of the Fusion Energy Science
Advisory committee. The mission of the program is to advance plasma
science, fusion science, and fusion technology. The 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, Alcator C-Mod,
and the National Spherical Torus Experiment. Research on alternate
concepts is continued to identify approaches that may improve the
economical and environmental attractiveness of fusion. The inertial
fusion energy activity is exploring an alternative path for fusion
energy that would capitalize on the major R&D effort in inertial
confinement fusion which is carried out for stockpile stewardship
purposes. Theory and modeling efforts also will be supported.
[[Page 402]]
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. The Oak
Ridge Landlord activity is now funded in MELFS.
Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR).--This program
includes research in mathematical, information, and computational
sciences and laboratory technology research activities. The purpose of
the ASCR program is to support advanced computational research--applied
mathematics, computer science, and networking--to enable the analysis,
simulation and prediction of complex physical phenomena. The program
also supports the operation of large supercomputer user facilities. The
request includes research integrated with other science programs, on
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 Resources.--A strong, balanced program is
proposed for FY 2001 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 resources 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 cost-shared
applied research, development, and field validations in full partnership
with private sector manufacturers.
The FY 2001 program continues to work in partnership with industry
to develop and facilitate the use of renewable energy and power delivery
system technologies. Specific goals or activities of the various
programs include: (1) in photovoltaics: an industry-driven effort in
research, advanced processing and manufacturing, systems engineering and
reliability, 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 dish/engine
systems, while reducing the costs of these emerging technologies and
existing parabolic trough systems; (4) in wind energy a program focus on
developing and testing utility-grade wind turbines in collaboration with
utilities and industry and encouraging the use of wind energy as an
opportunity to address rural and agricultural economic needs; and (5) in
Biomass Power and Biofuels Energy Systems: continued R&D to achieve
further reductions in biopower and biofuels production costs, and to
develop high-efficiency thermochemical and biochemical conversion
technologies. Additionally, a multi-sectoral approach is being pursued
to take advantage of the emerging technology synergies between biomass
power, biofuels and the manufacture of bio-based products. These
developments raise the prospect of profitable ``energy crop'' farming
early in the next century, accompanied by improved rural economic
development, increased environmental benefits in both urban and rural
areas, and new global market opportunities for U.S. industry; (6) in
geothermal energy, begin development of an enhanced geothermal system
(EGS) that will allow the broader use of geothermal energy throughout
the western United States, and conduct cooperative research with
industry to reduce the cost of geothermal wells; and (7) in hydropower,
continue development of a ``fish-friendly'' turbine to address the
primary environmental mitigation issues associated with licensing and
sustaining hydropower production.
The solar and renewable resource program also includes ongoing
support for international solar energy programs such as the U.S.
initiative on joint implementation, renewable energy outreach
information, and technical assistance and in FY 2001 a significant
increase is provided to support adoption in developing countries of
technologies that can help address the threat of global climate change.
Electric energy systems.--(Formerly included in solar and renewable
energy.) These activities focus on the development of technologies that
will enable the efficient and reliable delivery of electric services for
consumer use in competitive, restructured electric markets. The high-
temperature superconductivity program, with its world-record R&D
accomplishments, will provide additional power delivery system
efficiency and capability benefits. A key element of the effort is the
superconductivity partnership initiative, and industry-DOE collaboration
intended to speed the commercialization of superconductivity products.
Hydrogen research and development.--(Formerly included in solar and
renewable energy.) 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.
Departmental energy management.--Funding will also be provided to
allow the Department to meet the requirements of Executive Order 13123,
``Greening the Government Through Efficient Energy Management.'' The
objective of this program is to enable the Department to demonstrate
leadership as a model program for energy management within the Federal
Government.
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 2001 budget request continues to support the Nuclear Energy
Research Initiative (NERI), an investigator-initiated, peer-reviewed
research and development program, which will include an international
component in 2001, that addresses 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 are
selected competitively, and partnerships and industry cost-sharing are
encouraged. The Administration's proposal continues to support the PCAST
recommendation for a cost-shared program, nuclear energy plant
optimization (NEPO), with industry to address issues that could impact
the continued operation of the nation's 103 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.
Management of depleted uranium hexafluoride.--The Department is
committed to proper management of its inventory of depleted uranium
hexafluoride (DUF6), including eventual conversion of
DUF6 to a more stable form. The Department views
DUF6 as an asset and will continue to research beneficial
uses for depleted uranium products. The FY 2001 budget request supports
the award of one or more contracts to ini
[[Page 404]]
tiate design of two conversion facilities: one at Paducah, Kentucky and
one at Portsmouth, Ohio.
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, and health performance;
and providing assistance, resources and information sharing.
The 2001 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 policy, standards and guidance and
corporate programs as well as 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.
21st Century Research Fund.--The solar and renewable resources,
hydrogen R&D, electric energy systems, and departmental energy
management programs, all formerly included within ``solar and renewable
energy,'' are 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 energy research activities. The nuclear energy
research and development efforts of the Department of Energy and its
predecessors focused on peaceful uses of nuclear energy and generated
[[Page 405]]
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.
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, 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.
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 2001 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 2001 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, and Battelle Columbus
Laboratory and Mound 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 and sites: Albuquerque, Oak Ridge, West Valley, New
York, as well as multi-site and Headquarters activities.

The Fossil Energy Research and Development program supports high-
priority, high risk and cross-cutting research that will improve the
Nation's ability to use coal, oil and natural gas cleanly and
efficiently, and enhance the economic recovery of our oil and gas
reserves. The program funds research and development that strengthens
the technology base industry uses in developing new products and
processes to support these national goals. Fossil Energy R&D supports
activities ranging from early concept research in universities and
national laboratories to applied R&D and proof-of-concept projects in
private sector firms.
Coal and Power R&D.--The Coal and Power R&D program will focus on
addressing the energy and environmental demands of the post-2000
domestic market, and includes five elements: (1) Central systems which
includes technologies for advanced coal-fueled and gas-fired power
systems (including advanced turbines) and innovations for existing
plants; (2) Distributed systems including fuel cell technology; (3)
Sequestration R&D which focuses on greenhouse gas capture and reduction;
(4) Fuels R&D for the production of ultra-clean transportation fuels,
chemicals and premium carbon products; and (5) Advanced research which,
through early concept research, bridges fundamental research and
engineering development. The program goals of these elements are
integrated through the Vision 21 concept, 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.
Oil and gas.--The oil program encompasses advanced exploration and
production technology, industry cost-shared demonstrations of improved
and advanced oil recovery methods, petroleum-derived ultra clean fuels,
and environmental research activities.
The natural gas program emphasizes advanced gas exploration and
production technology, gas hydrates, infrastructure, and emerging
processing technology (upgrading and gas-to-liquids). As in all other
programs, cost-sharing by industry is a key feature. The national
laboratory partnership focuses on the transfer of National Laboratory-
developed technology to the oil and gas industry.
Program direction and management support.--The 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 managing the
environmental cleanup of former and present Fossil Energy project sites.
Activities include environmental protection, on-site cleanup, and
cleanup at several former off-site research and development locations in
Wyoming and Connecticut and environmental efforts at the National Energy
Technology Laboratory (NETL) Morgantown and Pittsburgh sites, and the
Albany Research Center (ARC).
Fuels conversion.--This program will continue regulatory reviews and
oversight of the transmission of natural gas and electricity across the
U.S. borders.

The mission of the Naval petroleum and oil shale reserves is to
manage, operate, maintain and produce the remaining Reserves to achieve
the greatest value and benefit to the Government. To that end, the
program has historically produced oil and related hydrocarbons from the
Naval petroleum reserves at the maximum efficient rates of production
pursuant to the Naval Petroleum Reserves Production Act of 1976.
Petroleum products were most frequently sold competitively in the open
market. NPOSR activities generated a net income of $13.8 billion for the
U.S. Treasury from FY 1976 through FY 1998. In addition, another $3.65
billion in gross receipts was generated from the divestment of NPR-1 (or
Elk Hills) during FY 1998, when the field was sold to Occidental
Petroleum Corporation as mandated by the National Defense Authorization
Act for FY 1996. 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 equity shares. Each percentage point change
in equity is worth millions of dollars to the Government. Other
important close-out activities include environmental assessment and
remediation work.
The primary objective of NPR-3 is to operate and produce the Reserve
to maximize profitability while preparing for the orderly abandonment of
the oil field when it is no longer profitable. FY 2001 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 at least FY 2005 depending upon
the price of oil and stabilization of production levels. Emphasis is on
continuation of routine maintenance activities, plugging and abandonment
of uneconomic wells, and environmental remediation of the site in
anticipation of its eventual divestment. Divestment may consist of
transfer to the private sector or abandonment, consistent with
congressional authorization.
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 innovation production techniques in an impartial
setting. The naval petroleum reserve program anticipates privatizing the
RMOTC program during 2001.

The Administration's energy efficiency programs produce substantial
benefits for the Nation--both now and in the future--in terms of
economic growth, increased national security and a cleaner environment
through the research and development of energy efficiency and pollution
prevention technologies. These programs carry out the Department's
responsibility under the bipartisan Energy Policy Act of 1992 and other
major pieces of authorizing legislation.
The dollar benefits of our carefully constructed programs--to
industries, homeowners, and commercial firms--far exceed program costs.
Furthermore, the technologies developed in these programs create jobs
and global market opportunities for U.S. firms. These programs are a
major component of the Administration's climate change response, and
when the benefits to energy security and the environment are included,
it is clear that these programs represent important investments in a
clean, productive future.
In total, the Department's energy efficiency programs are projected
to save consumers and businesses over $30 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 2001 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 20 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
accelerates the introduction of highly efficient buildings technologies
and practices through research and development; increases the minimum
efficiency of buildings and equipment through building codes, appliance
standards, and guidelines; and encourages the use of energy-efficient
and renewable energy technologies and practices through state grant
programs and community partnerships. The buildings research and
standards program integrates research and development activities to
improve the energy efficiency of appliances, building equipment, and the
building envelope by developing test procedures and building efficiency
codes an standards.
The building technology assistance program complements the Research
and Standards program by moving advanced technologies into the
marketplace, producing near-term energy savings with associated economic
and environmental benefits. The building technology assistance program,
is designed to promote the adoption of energy efficient and renewable
energy technologies among States, municipalities, institutions, and by
private citizens through community outreach and energy star programs.
These voluntary partnerships help lower the barriers to adoption of
cost-effective technologies advanced through collaborations with
manufacturers, utilities, state and local government and community
organizations. Conservation grants programs--the weatherization
assistance program and the State energy program--assist States and
localities in promoting energy efficiency. The FY 2001 budget also
includes funds to promote adoption of efficient buildings and appliances
in developing countries, and to adapt American design tools for
developing-country markets.
Federal energy management program.--The Federal energy management
program (FEMP) will continue to reduce the cost of government by
advancing energy efficiency and water conservation, the use of solar and
other renewable energy sources, and by managing utility costs. 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 leveraging both Federal and private resources to
provide technical and financial assistance to other Federal agencies,
which take actions and make investments that increase energy efficiency
and renewable energy utilization, and reduce water consumption in their
buildings, facilities, and operations.
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. A significant
budget increase is provided in FY 2001 for the agriculture and forest
products industries as part of a multi-agency initiative on bioproducts
and biofuels. The Industries of the Future (Crosscutting) develops
technologies that 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. In FY 2001, a small amount of funding is
also included to promote the adoption of energy efficient practices by
industries in developing countries.
Transportation sector.--The program continues development and
commercialization of technologies which can radically
[[Page 409]]
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 injection diesel engines, and advanced
materials technologies that improve engine efficiency and reduce weight.
In addition, the program will enhance the development of cleaner and
alternative fuels, and pursue research of advanced batteries that enable
the use of electricity as an alternative fuel, and technologies for
enabling fuel flexibility and fuel economy in heavy trucks. These
activities include demonstrating advanced alternative fuel vehicles that
provide improved range and reduced emissions, with performance
equivalent to conventional vehicles; accelerating the use of alternative
fuels and vehicles through implementation of Energy Policy Act programs;
and continuing support for the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium and
demonstrating continued progress in improving range and performance for
electric and hybrid vehicles.
Policy and management.--This activity provides program management
for all of the Energy Conservation programs, and supports management in
the development of policy and crosscutting activities such as program
evaluations for energy conservation programs to ensure program
effectiveness.
21st Century Research Fund.--The Energy Conservation R&D programs
(i.e. all except Conservation Grants) are included in the 21st Century
Research Fund.

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

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.
Energy markets.--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
[[Page 412]]
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 whole sale
generators. Further, the Commission determines just and reasonable rates
for the interstate transportation of natural gas and oil on the
pipelines subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. The Commission
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.
Energy projects.--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 investigates to
determine the amount of headwater benefits derived from federally-owned
and FERC-licensed headwater improvements and returned approximately $6
million in revenues to the U.S. Treasury in 1999. The Commission also
issues certificates authorizing natural gas pipelines to construct and
operate new facilities and to provide new services. The Commission will
continue to assure that environmental concerns involving energy
projects, whether from pipeline construction or hydropower operations,
are properly addressed and that the public interest is protected when
new hydropower projects are licensed or relicensed, or when new natural
gas pipeline services are authorized.
Program support.--Program support facilitates the Commission's
ability to accomplish its regulatory mission. The Commission's support
work includes human resources management and development, financial
management, procurement, strategic management, information technology,
external communications, dispute resolution, and general legal services.
Through support activities, the Commission realizes its central values,
since they determine how the Commission does its work. In the long run,
the Commission's core programs can only be as good as the support
programs and central values that stand behind them.

Public Law 99-190, making continuing appropriations for 1986,
provided $400 million from funds in the Energy Security Reserve in the
Department of the Treasury for a new clean coal technology program in
the Department of Energy. This program was authorized under the clean
coal technology reserve proviso of Public Law 98-473 to subsidize the
construction and operation of facilities to demonstrate the potential
commercial feasibility of such technologies.
Termination of the domestic clean coal technology program, after
completion of projects now underway, is part of the President's
realignment of the Department of Energy. The Administration's policy
calls for limiting the program's existing domestic projects which have
been selected under contract. If a project is canceled, the canceled
project's funding will either be used to meet the needs of remaining on-
going projects, or will be rescinded if the funds are not needed by the
program.

This program was established in 1980 for the purpose of expediting
the development and production of alternative fuels.
When the Synthetic Fuels Corporation was declared to be operational
in 1982, the uncommitted and unobligated funds remaining in the program
were transferred to the Energy Security Reserve for use by the Synthetic
Fuels Corporation, with the exception of the loan guarantee for the
Great Plains gasification project, which remained under the jurisdiction
of the Department of Energy. The Department exercised its authority to
borrow from the Treasury to repay the Federal Financing Bank upon
default of the borrower in 1985. This loan was repaid, along with
accrued interest, by a supplemental appropriation in 1986. The
Department acquired ownership of the Great Plains plant by foreclosure,
which was completed on July 14, 1986, and continued operation of the
plant without the expenditure of appropriated funds. On October 31,
1988, the Department completed the process of establishing an asset
purchase agreement for the Great Plains Gasification Plant by settlement
with Basin Electric Power Cooperative Association. Responsibilities for
other related agreements--trust agreement, gas transportation agreement,
gas purchase agreement--were also settled. Under the terms of the asset
purchase agreement a check for $85 million was provided to the
Government as an initial payment. These agreements were the subject of
litigation between the Department, Dakota Gasification Company (DGC) 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.

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 11, 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 Budget requests advance
appropriations for FY 2002 through FY 2006 to fully fund the settlement
agreement.

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 2001, the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management
program will focus on the activities necessary to make a decision on the
suitability of the Yucca Mountain site as a repository; develop the
documentation, including a final Environmental Impact Statement, needed
for a Secretarial decision whether to recommend the site to the
President in FY 2001; and conduct other activities associated with the
Federal government's waste acceptance obligations.
Following the issuance of the site recommendation in late FY 2001,
the program, through the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Office,
will evaluate the repository system against the Department's suitability
criteria; validate data and update process models using data from
scientific tests and evolving designs; conduct an iteration of total
system performance assessment for use in license application; continue
to develop the draft license application and supporting documents; and
refine repository and waste package design.
The program's 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 charter of the Department of Energy (DOE) isotope production and
distribution program covers the production and sale of isotope products
and related services to the user community utilizing Government-owned
facilities. The isotopes produced by the Department are those that can
be produced in existing DOE production and research facilities dedicated
to the products required by the isotope production and distribution
program. The isotopes are sold at their market value or at a price
determined to be in the best interest of the government for use in
medical diagnoses and therapy, medical and scientific research, and
industrial applications.

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.
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.
All remaining Alaska activities of APA, including the Juneau
headquarters office, were terminated on September 30, 1998. Unobligated
transition and termination balances were used to complete remaining
close-out activities and report preparation in Washington, D.C. in 1999.

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.
[[Page 419]]
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.
Program direction.--Provision is made for negotiation and

The Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) operates in a
six-State area as a marketing agent for hydroelectric power produced at
Corps of Engineers dams. It also operates and maintains some 2,225
kilometers (1,380 miles) of high voltage transmission line, 24
substations and switching stations, and 46 VHF radio and microwave
stations. Southwestern sells its power at wholesale primarily to
publicly and cooperatively owned electric distribution utilities. Its
power sales contracts provide for periodic rate adjustments to ensure
that the Federal Government recovers all costs of operation and all
capital invested in power, with interest, in keeping with statutory
requirements.
Southwestern also is responsible for scheduling and dispatching
power, negotiating power sales contracts, and constructing facilities
required to meet changing customer load requirements.
Program direction.--This activity provides for the overall direction
and support of Southwestern's program activities and includes salaries
and benefits, travel, support services and other related expenses such
as rent, utilities, communications, supplies, materials and building
maintenance.
Systems operation and maintenance.--Provision is made for
engineering assessments of issues and alternatives that could adversely
impact or optimize the operation of Southwestern's hydroelectric
resources. Provision also is made for maintenance and improvement of the
transmission system and related facilities to ensure reliable service,
negotiation and administration of power contracts, collection of
revenue, development of wholesale power rates and the amortization of
the power investment. Actual proprietary receipts in the amount of $95
million were deposited in the Treasury in 1999. Estimated proprietary
receipts in the amount of $92 million in 2000 and $96 million in FY 2001
are expected.
Purchase power and wheeling.--Between FY 2001 and FY 2004, the
Southwestern Power Administration will phase-out Federal financing of
purchase power and wheeling activities. Authority to spend power
revenues to pay for purchase of power and wheeling activities will end
after FY 2004. Industry restructuring and resulting competition now make
it attractive for Southwestern's customers to shop for power and
transmission services. Southwestern may continue to support customer
bill crediting, net billing and other alternative financing arrangements
for these activities.
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.

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 line, 256 substations/switchyards, associated power system
control, communication and electrical facilities for 15 separate power
projects. Western also 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.
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.
Systems operation and maintenance.--The systems operation and
maintenance activity provides essential electrical and communication
equipment replacements, and upgrades, capitalized moveable equipment,
technical services, and supplies and materials necessary for safe
reliable operation and cost-effective maintenance of the power systems.
Purchase power and wheeling.--Between FY 2001 and FY 2004, the
Western Area Power Administration will phase-out Federal financing of
purchase power and wheeling activities. Authority to spend power
revenues to pay for purchase power and wheeling activities will end
after FY 2004. Industry restructuring and resulting competition now make
it attractive for Western's customers to shop for power and transmission
services. Western may continue to support customer bill crediting, net
billing and other alternative financing arrangements for these
activities.
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 replacements, 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. The account is
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.
Western will continue to 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.
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 2001 to consist of an estimated 15,000
[[Page 424]]
circuit miles of high-voltage transmission lines and 324 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 324 substations, and for maintaining the facilities
and equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 2001.
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. Provides for
the planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost
effective conservation. 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.
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. Also provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and
oversight of reliable, cost effective conservation.
Capital equipment/Capitalized bond premium.--Provides for general
purpose ADP equipment, office furniture and equipment, and software
capital development in support of all BPA programs. Also provides for
bond premiums incurred for refinancing of bonds.
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 2001 capital
obligations are estimated to be $331 million. To the extent BPA capital
borrowing authority is insufficient in 2001, BPA would use cash reserves
generated by revenues from customers, if available, to finance some of
these investments.
In FY 1999, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $628 million and
also expects to make payments of $594 million in 2000 and $620 million
in 2001. The 2001 payment will be distributed as follows: interest on
bonds and appropriations ($447 million), Bureau of Reclamation
irrigation assistance ($10 million), and amortization ($163 million).
Direct loans.--During FY 2001, no new direct loan obligations may be
made.
Operating results.--Total revenues are forecast at approximately
$2.4 billion in FY 2001.
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.
