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, evaluation, and investigative products and advisory
services to improve the performance and integrity of EPA programs and
operations. These products and services will contribute substantially to
improved environmental quality and human health. Specifically, the OIG
performs contract audits and investigations which focus on costs claimed
by contractors, and on the award and management of contracts. Assistance
agreement audits and investigations evaluate the award, administration,
and costs of assistance agreements. Program audits, evaluations and
investigations determine the extent to which the desired results or
benefits envisioned by the Administration and Congress are being
achieved, and identify activities that contribute to or undermine the
integrity, efficiency, and effectiveness of Agency programs. Financial
statement audits review financial systems and statements to ensure that
adequate controls are in place and the Agency's accounting information
is accurate, reliable and useful, and complies with applicable laws and
regulations. Systems audits review the economy, efficiency, and
effectiveness of operations by examining the Agency's leadership
systems, its strategic planning, human resources development, customer
focus, and process management. Additional funds for audit, evaluation
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, including the costs of
the ombudsman function. 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.
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 2003, our emphasis will be placed on
the following:
Clean Air.--To ensure that every American community has safe and
healthy air to breathe, EPA will conduct a range of science and
technology activities. These include research on the effects to human
health of toxic air pollutants, and research on criteria air pollutants
(ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, and
particulate matter) to develop the scientific basis for EPA's national
ambient air quality standards. EPA will also develop control measures
for mobile sources, including the development of cleaner engine
technologies, and cleaner burning fuels and tools for States to develop
clean air plans and achieve the air quality standards.
Clean and Safe Water.--To support the goal of the American public
having drinking water that is clean and safe to drink, EPA will conduct
research to support efforts to attain good water quality and safe
drinking water. A concerted effort will be made to help small
communities meet the new drinking water standards for arsenic. EPA will
conduct terrorism vulnerability assessments for local drinking water
systems. Although the majority of this will be federal contract
assistance, the Agency will also give assistance to drinking water
systems under certain conditions. 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 food the American public consumes
will be free from unsafe pesticide residues, EPA
[[Page 913]]
research laboratories and centers provide analytical and environmental
chemistry services in support of EPA's registration, reregistration and
tolerance/reassessment programs for food-use pesticides. Also, EPA
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 potential risks due to emissions and contamination. The
Agency aims to improve indoor environments through technical support,
analysis and producing necessary information to understand indoor air
effects, and identifying potential 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, 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.--EPA
global change research is dedicated to enhancing our capability to
assess the vulnerability of human health and ecosystems to climate-
induced stressors at the regional scale, and to assess mitigation and
adaptation strategies. The Agency will continue to work with the U.S.
automobile industry in a cooperative research effort to develop advanced
automotive powertrain and engine technology that is both clean and
highly fuel efficient. This effort will focus on developing cost-
effective, near-term technologies for cleaner and more efficient cars
and trucks that can run on both conventional and renewable fuels.
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.
Quality Environmental Information.--To provide the public with
information about the environment, EPA will continue to focus on
improving data collection and data quality and on deploying new
technologies for real time and automated measurement, monitoring and
information delivery. EPA intends to develop policies and procedures for
planning, documenting, implementing and assessing data collection for
use in making Agency decisions.
Sound Science, Improved Understanding of Environmental Risk, and
Greater Innovation to Address Environmental Problems.--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 the health of the American public and the
Nation's ecosystems. EPA will address emerging environmental issues
while seeking to develop innovative, cost-effective solutions to
pollution prevention and risk reduction. 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 EPA. It provides technical services not
available elsewhere to support the needs of EPA Headquarters and
Regional offices, other Federal Agencies, and state and local
environmental enforcement organizations.
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 resource 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 grant closeouts, and on
implementation of the best practices identified government-wide by the
General Account 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.

Note.--Excludes $9 million in budget authority in BY for activities
transferred to the National Science Foundation. Comparable amounts for PY
($9 million and CY ($9 million) are included above.
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.
This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the
Agency's ten goals. Specifically in 2003, 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 also develop control
measures for mobile, 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 work with States and Tribes in
developing and implementing new drinking water standards for
microbiological contaminants, disinfectant and disinfection byproducts,
and chemicals identified as posing high risks. EPA will also work with
its State and Tribal partners to address protection of drinking water
sources and will take a leadership role to enhance security at drinking
water and wastewater facilities. 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 Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System and pretreatment 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 levels of pesticide residues, EPA plans to apply strict health-
based standards to the registration of pesticides for use on food or
animal feed, ensure that older pesticides meet current health standards,
decrease the use of pesticides with the highest potential to cause
adverse effects, and expedite and increase the registration of safer
pesticides.
Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities, Homes,
Workplaces and Ecosystems.--Pollution prevention
[[Page 915]]
and risk management strategies will be aimed at cost-effectively
eliminating, reducing, or minimizing toxic chemical emissions and
contamination. EPA intends to reduce potential human and environmental
risks as a result of pesticides from commercial and residential
exposure, as well as programs targeting farmworker protection,
endangered species protection, environmental stewardship, and integrated
pest management. Through voluntary actions, EPA seeks to ensure
healthier indoor air for American homes, schools and office buildings.
EPA plans to encourage the development of safer chemicals by minimizing
or reducing the regulatory burdens on new chemicals that replace more
hazardous chemicals 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
develop and promulgate standards, regulations, and guidelines to reduce
exposure from radiation sources. The Agency will also provide for the
federal administrative expenses of brownfields cleanup activities.
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.
Quality Environmental Information.--The unprecedented changes in
information technology over the past few years, combined with an
increasing public demand for information, are altering the way the
Agency and States collect, manage, analyze, use, secure, and provide
access to quality environmental information. EPA is working with the
States and Tribes to strengthen our information quality, leverage
information maintained by other government organizations, and develop
new tools that provide the public with simultaneous access to multiple
data sets, allowing users to understand local, state, regional, and
national environmental conditions. Key to achieving information quality
will be the further development of the Information Exchange Network,
which is primarily an affiliation between EPA and the States and Tribes.
EPA will continue to develop and define a fundamentally new approach to
integrating, managing, and providing access to environmental
information. EPA will continue to reduce reporting burden, improve data
quality, and speed data publications by increasing the amount of
electronic reporting under the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). EPA
intends to expand the use of the Internet for delivering this
information.
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.--EPA will ensure full compliance with laws intended to protect
human health and the environment. The Agency will use new and innovative
approaches of compliance assistance and compliance incentives as well as
traditional enforcement activities to promote compliance by the
regulated community, set risk-based compliance and enforcement
priorities, and strategically plan and target activities to address
environmental problems associated with industry sectors and communities.
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 grant 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 1988, the Federal
Government has invested approximately $19.5 billion in grants to help
capitalize the 51 SRFs. With required State match, additional State
contribution, and funds from program leveraging, funds made available
for such loans total approximately $37.7 billion. EPA's goal is for the
Clean Water SRFs to revolve at an average level of $2 billion annually.
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. EPA'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 South Dakota's expenses for maintaining the Homestake mine until a
final decision is made on the proposed national underground science
laboratory.
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 $10 million for grants to States to develop and
implement monitoring and notification programs for coastal recreation
waters pursuant to section 406 of the Clean Water Act, as amended by the
Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health Act of 2000.
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, ozone, and for regional haze programs. The Budget
includes $6.5 million to expand and improve air toxics monitoring to
assess EPA air toxics programs. EPA will offer media-specific and multi-
media, and/or Performance Partnership grants to States and Tribes, and
technical assistance to aid in the development of State and Tribal
Implementation Plans to support solutions that address local air needs.
Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities, Homes,
Workplaces and Ecosystems.--EPA plans to offer media-specific and multi-
media, and/or Performance Partnership grants to States and Tribes,
focusing on pollution prevention, lead, endangered species, worker
protection, pesticide applicator certification and training, source
reduction and recycling. Best approaches for encouraging recycling of
non-hazardous industrial wastes will also be identified through work
with the State and Tribal partners. The agency intends to provide
assistance to States for the development and implementation of State
programs to assess and mitigate radon.
Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
and Emergency Response.--To ensure that Amer
[[Page 918]]
ica'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. In addition, EPA
will fund brownfields projects resulting in over 400 assessments, paving
the way for productive reuse of these properties and bringing the
cumulative number of sites assessed to approximately 3,300. 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 promote compliance with laws intended to protect human health
and the environment, EPA will offer media specific and multi-media
funding to States and Tribes for compliance assurance activities
including compliance assistance and incentives, inspections and
enforcement activities. The budget provides an additional $15 million
for new enforcement grants to States and Tribes, to assist them in
carrying out environmental enforcement activities.
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 2003 a
cumulative 900 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.
Quality Environmental Information.--EPA plans to provide $25 million
to States to better enable them to integrate their environmental
information systems. The purpose of this support is two-fold: to assist
the Agency in managing for results and to allow States to maintain the
necessary presence in this area.

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, but the Administration proposes to continue
the payment from the general fund at $700 million in 2003.
Environmental Services
Beginning in fiscal year 2003 and thereafter, the Administrator is
authorized to assess fees from any person required to submit data under
section 4 or 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act without regard to the
dollar limitations established in section 26(b)(1) of the Act. Such fees
shall be calculated based on costs associated with administering those
sections of the Act. and shall be paid at the time of data submission,
unless otherwise specified by the Administrator. The Administrator may
take into account the ability to pay of the person required to submit
the data. The Administrator shall promulgate rules to implement this
provision. Such rules may provide for allocating the fee in any case in
which the expenses of data submission under section 4 or 5 are shared.
Fees collected under this provision shall be deposited in a special fund
in the U.S. Treasury, which thereafter will be available, subiect to
appropriation, to carry out the Agency's activities for which such fees
are collected.

A special fund was established for the deposit of fee receipts
associated with environmental programs, including motor vehicle engine
certifications. Receipts in this special fund will be appropriated to
the Science and Technology account in 2003 to finance the expenses of
the programs that generate the receipts. Contingent appropriations
language is being proposed 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 and needed authorizing legislation would
generate $4 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 pilot franchise fund 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 2003
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-
[[Page 922]]
tion and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities
under the Working Capital Fund. This appropriation supports core Agency
programs and four of the Agency's ten goals. Specifically in 2003,
emphasis will be placed on the following:
Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
and Emergency Response.--EPA expects to complete cleanups at 40 sites
and conduct 285 removal actions. Through 2001, cleanups had been
completed at 804sites, and 6,588 removal actions had been taken. EPA
responds to terrorism by cleaning up contaminated buildings, monitoring
ambient conditions around disaster areas, and removing hazardous
materials. In FY 2003, EPA will research better techniques for cleaning
up buildings contaminated by biological agents. EPA will also work to
maximize responsible parties' participation in site cleanups while
promoting fairness in the enforcement process, and pursue greater
recovery of EPA's cleanup costs. EPA will allocate funds from its
appropriation to other Federal agencies to carry out the Act.
Quality Environmental Information.--EPA will continue to inform
decision makers and provide access to balanced environmental data.
Environmental information will better enable the public to understand
conditions and make knowledgeable choices about protecting the health
and the environment of local communities. It will lead to creative and
sustainable solutions to environmental problems and opportunities for
pollution prevention. Quality environmenal information is crucial to
sound decision making and to establishing public trust and confidence in
those decisions.
A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance With the
Law.--EPA will investigate and refer for prosecution criminal and civil
violations of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA).
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 2003, 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 (UST) sites with
confirmed releases waiting to be addressed, and to enforce the 1998 UST
leak detection and upgrade standards.
Effective Management.--EPA will support the States' and EPA's
efforts to regulate and oversee the cleanup of leaking underground
storage tanks, through a management infrastructure that sets and
implements the highest quality standards for effective internal
management and fiscal responsibility.
