Beginning in 2001, programs in the Weapons Activities appropriation
have been managed by the National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA).
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; reliability
assessments; weapon dismantlement and 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.
Facilities and infrastructure.--Focuses on a multi-year effort to
restore physical infrastructure of the weapons complex. This activity
provides funds to accomplish deferred maintenance while improving
facility management practices to preclude further deteriorating.
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.
Weapons Safeguards and Security.--Provides for all safeguard and
security requirements (except for personnel security investigations) at
NNSA landlord sites, specifically the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory,
the Nevada Test Site, Kansas City Plant, Pantex Plant, Y-12 Plant, and
the Savannah River Site Tritium Facilities.
Weapons program direction.--In FY 2002, this activity which provides
personnel and contractual services for Federal management and
administration was moved to the Office of the Administrator
appropriation account.

The mission of this program is to (1) prevent the spread of
materials, technology, and expertise relating to weapons of mass
destruction; (2) detect the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
worldwide; (3) provide for international nuclear safety, and (4)
eliminate inventories of surplus fissile materials usable for nuclear
weapons. The program addresses the danger that hostile nations or
terrorist groups may acquire weapons of mass destruction or weapons-
usable material, dual-use production technology or weapons of mass
destruction expertise. In 2003, work will be done in the following major
areas.
Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development will
conduct applied research, development, testing, and evaluation leading
to prototype demonstrations and detection systems that strengthen the
U.S. response to current and projected threats to national security and
world peace posed by the proliferation of nuclear, chemical, and
biological weapons, and diversion of special nuclear material. The
program will increase the transition of technologies to organizations
responsible for combating terrorism.
Nonproliferation and International Security (formerly Arms Control)
efforts will help prevent the outflow of scientific expertise from the
New Independent States (NIS) that could help develop nuclear or other
weapons of mass destruction; control export of items and technology
useful for weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation; monitor
treaties and agreements; develop and implement policy in support of
international security efforts aimed at securing high-risk nuclear
material; develop and implement transparency measures to assure that
international nonproliferation and arms control agreements are in
compliance, and that nuclear materials are secure; implement
international safeguards in conjunction with the IAEA; and explore and
implement innovative approaches to improve regional security.
Russian Transition Assistance encompasses the efforts of the
Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP) and the Nuclear Cities
Initiative (NCI) programs to reduce the risk of adverse migration of
former Soviet nuclear and other WMD expertise, and to work with the
Russians in downsizing their nuclear weapons complex.
International Nuclear Materials Protection and Cooperation (also
known as MPC&A) will continue to improve the security for nuclear
material and weapons in Russia by installing basic rapid upgrades and
through comprehensive security improvements. Even before the September
11, reducing the potential for diversion of nuclear warheads and
materials has been a critical priority for the United States. Since the
recent terrorist attacks, Russia and the United States have agreed to
expand cooperation in this area significantly.
HEU Transparency Implementation will continue to work with Russia to
convert highly enriched uranium (HEU) from its military stockpile into a
non-weapons usable form of low enriched uranium (LEU) for commercial
reactor fuel. The 1993 U.S.-Russia HEU Purchase Agreement, which
provides for Russian HEU to be down blended and used to fuel reactors
here in the United States, remains an extremely impressive
nonproliferation achievement.
International Nuclear Safety and Cooperation strengthens national
security by helping to prevent nuclear incidents and accidents at
foreign nuclear facilities, to mitigate the consequences of accidents
should they occur, and to enhance nuclear nonproliferation by assisting
the Russian Federation in ceasing its production of weapons-grade
plutonium production by providing replacement energy production
capacity. The program is completing its efforts focused in former Soviet
Union countries to increase the operating safety of nuclear power
reactors and enhance the resident safety culture, and is now reorienting
its activities to address critical nuclear safety issues in countries of
concern through an integrated and risk-based approach. Initial efforts
will focus on improving nuclear safety in Vietnam.
Fissile Materials Disposition conducts activities in both the United
States and Russia to dispose of fissile materials that would pose a
threat to the United States if acquired by hostile nations or terrorist
groups. In FY 2003 it will continue transferring surplus HEU from the Y-
12 Plant to the United States Enrichment Corporation; begin deliveries
of off-specification HEU and low enriched uranium to TVA; complete Title
II design of the mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility; continue
limited production mode testing, technology demonstrations and continue
with Title II design of the Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility; and
continue the design of industrial-scale plutonium conversion and MOX
facilities in Russia, VVER-1000/BN-600 reactor work, and assist with the
development of relevant licensing regulations.
As of FY 2002 all program direction funding has been transferred to
the Office of the Administrator of NNSA.

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 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 toward this goal, EM can reduce the
hazards presently facing its workforce and the public, and reduce the
financial burden on the taxpayer. The 2003 budget request continues to
reflect the program's emphasis on site closure and project completion.
The 2003 budget request will support the following major program
areas:
Site/project completion.--Includes sites and/or projects planned to
be completed by 2006 at EM laboratories or other facilities where DOE
will continue to have a presence beyond the year 2006. Examples of sites
with projects included in this account are Sandia National Laboratories,
New Mexico; Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory,
Idaho; Richland; and Savannah River.
Post 2006 completion.--Includes projects that will continue after
2006. Included are various projects at Albuquerque, New Mexico;
Richland, Washington; Savannah River, South Carolina; Idaho National
Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Idaho; Nevada Test Site,
Nevada; Oak Ridge Reservation, Tennessee; and the Waste Isolation Pilot
Plant in Carlsbad, New Mexico.
Safeguards and security.--This account provides funding to support
safeguards and security activities to ensure appropriate levels of
protection against: unauthorized access, theft, diversion, loss of
custody or destruction of Department of Energy assets and hostile acts
that may cause unacceptable adverse impacts on national security or the
health and safety of DOE and contractor employees, the public or the
environment.
Office of Science and Technology.--Conducts a national program to
deliver and support fully developed deployable scientific and
technological solutions to Environmental Management and long-term
environmental stewardship problems.
EM program direction.--Provides salaries and benefits, travel and
other contractual support costs for the Federal workforce at
Headquarters and in the field which support the Environmental Management
Program.
Excess Facilities.--Provides funding to manage the final disposition
of excess contaminated physical facilities transferred to the EM
program. Activities in 2003 will be limited to surveillance and
maintenance to keep the facilities in a safe condition. The account
includes excess facilities at the Pantex Plant, Texas, Savannah River,
South Carolina, and the Y-12 plant, Tennessee transferred from the
Offices of Defense Programs and Nuclear Energy.
Multi-Site Activities.--Provides funding for technical integration
efforts managed at Headquarters that assure disposition of waste and
materials; activities to efficiently transfer excess facilities to the
EM program for decommissioning; pollution prevention programs;
environmental and regulatory analysis; emergency preparedness
activities; and coordination of packaging and transportation for waste
and nuclear material shipments. Other support activities include
analytical laboratory management, training for hazardous waste
operations, and maintenance of nuclear criticality safety expertise. In
addition, this account funds the Federal Government's contribution to
the Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund.

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.

Under the Environmental Management program, the Department of Energy
enters into compliance and cleanup agreements with Federal and State
regulatory officials at sites managed by the Department. The
Administration is committed to ensuring that these agreements are
managed efficiently to protect the health and safety of the public and
the environment. The purpose of this new account is to provide an
incentive for the parties to these agreements to renegotiate cleanup
strategies to achieve greater risk reduction, decrease cleanup costs,
and accelerate cleanup schedules, while protecting human health and the
environment. These funds will be available only when the Department
enters into revised agreements that have the potential for significant
life-cycle cost savings over the current baseline cleanup approach. When
the Department reaches agreement with regulatory officials, establishes
a new funding profile and estimates the cost savings for the alternate
cleanup strategy, these funds will be transferred to other cleanup
accounts to fund the new projects or supplement funding for ongoing
projects.

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 2001 the balance
owed by the Federal Government to the Nuclear Waste Fund was
approximately $1,350 million (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 2001, a total of approximately $1,436
million 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 2003 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.
[[Page 395]]
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 2003 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. Fixed
target operations for the Alternate Gradient Synchroton HEP program are
terminated. In addition, $60 million is provided for the Department's
2003 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 $20.1 million
for the neutrinos at the main injector project.
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 2003, 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. These facilities
provide new insights and advance our knowledge of the nature of matter
and energy and develop the scientific knowledge, technologies and
trained manpower needed to underpin the DOE's missions for nuclear
related national security, energy and environmental quality.
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility/Continuous
Electron Beam Accelerator Facility experimental program began in 1996
and will continue in 2003. At the MIT/Bates accelerator a new program of
research utilizing the BLAST large acceptance detector will begin.
Experimental operations at the Radioactive Ion Beam facility in Oak
Ridge National Laboratory will continue in 2003. Operation of ATLAS
(ANL), 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
continue as RHIC and its four major detectors approach their full design
potential, allowing researchers to explore a new regime of nuclear
matter and nuclear interactions that up to now have only been
characterized theoretically.
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 2003 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; 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 program also supports 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. The ``genomes
to life'' activity, aimed at understanding the composition and function
of biochemical networks that carry out essential processes of living
organisms is funded at $36.7 million. In FY 2003, the Environmental
Management Science Program and the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory are
transferred from the Office of Environmental Management to the Office of
Science.
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, 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 2003 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.
In addition, the BES request includes $225.0 million in 2003 to
continue construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the
Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) to meet the Nation's neutron scattering
needs. The request includes $5 million to begin design and construction
of additional instruments beyond the initial instrument suite included
in the construction project data sheet. 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, and electronic materials, that are critical for future
U.S. economic competitiveness and national security. The multi-agency
national nanotechnology program is $129.0 million and includes PED and
construction funding for NSRC's at 3 national laboratories.
Fusion Energy Sciences Program.--The fusion energy sciences program
for 2003 continues to implement the recommendations of the reports by
the National Research Council, 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
[[Page 396]]
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 in partnership with NSF, 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 develop a fuller
understanding of the physics of magnetically confined plasma and to
identify approaches that may improve the economical and environmental
attractiveness of fusion. Fabrication of the new National Compact
Stellarator experiment will be initiated at Princeton Plasma Physics
Laboratory. 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 by NNSA
for stockpile stewardship purposes. Theory and modeling efforts will be
supported to develop a predictive capability for the operation of fusion
experiments. Enabling technology research will also be conducted in
support of the science experiments.
Energy research analyses.--This activity involves objective
assessments to evaluate the quality and impact of DOE research programs
and projects.
Science laboratories infrastructure.--The goal of the science
laboratories infrastructure 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 civilian science laboratories. An ``excess
facilities disposal'' subprogram, first funded by Congress in FY 2002 as
the Facilities and Infrastructure program, is included in FY 2003 in the
Science Laboratories Infrastructure program. The Oak Ridge Landlord
activity is also funded here.
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.
Safeguards and security.--The mission of this program is to ensure
appropriate levels of protection and provide against: unauthorized
access, theft, diversion, loss of custody, or destruction of Department
of Energy assets and hostile acts that may cause adverse impacts on
fundamental science, or the health and safety of DOE and contractor
employees, the public, or the environment. The 2003 request provides
funding for physical protection, protective forces, physical security,
protective systems, information security, cyber security, personnel
security, materials control and accountability and program management
activities. In FY 2003, costs for safeguards and security at Argonne
National Laboratory--West are transferred from the Office of Science to
the Office of Environmental Management.

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.
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.
The detailed budget structure shown in lines 00.01 through 10.00
above is intended to clarify the nature and management of Energy Supply
activities
Renewable Energy Resources.--A sound, viable program is proposed for
2003 to lead the Nation in research and development of renewable energy
and related technologies to meet the growing need for clean and
affordable energy. Program activities range from basic research in
universities and national laboratories to cost-shared applied research,
development, and field validation in partnership with the private
sector. Specific goals and activities of the 2003 program include: (1)
Biomass and Biofuels Energy Systems: continue R&D to achieve further
reductions in biopower and biofuels production costs, and develop high-
efficiency thermochemical and biochemical conversion technologies.
Additionally, pursue a multi-sectoral approach, in collaboration with
the Department of Agriculture, to take advantage of the emerging
technology synergies amongst biomass power, biofuels, and the production
of bio-based products. These developments will lead to the deployment of
biorefineries and raise the prospect of reduction in foreign oil
dependency, improved rural economic development, increased environmental
benefits in both urban and rural areas, and new global market
opportunities for U.S. industry. (2) Geothermal Technology Development:
begin development of an enhanced geothermal system 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 development and to identify new resources. (3) Hydrogen
research and development: reduce the cost of hydrogen production.
Increase the capacity and reduce the cost of hydrogen storage systems.
Develop more efficient, lower cost fuel cell systems that incorporate
accurate hydrogen sensors for leak detection and safety measurements.
(4) Hydropower: continue development of ``fish-friendly'' turbine
systems to address the primary environmental mitigation issues
associated with licensing and sustaining hydropower production. (5)
Solar Energy: develop more efficient photovoltaic materials and cell
devices, lower-cost thin-film technologies, improved manufacturing and
large-area processing, and more reliable modules and systems as part of
an industry-led research effort and focus on cooperative industry and
utility efforts to effectively use advanced solar technology for water-
heating. (6) Wind Energy Systems: develop in partnership with industry
low wind speed technology to allow wind power to be cost-competitive in
these more prevalent, lower wind resources areas, and support related
technology base advances.
Electric Energy Systems and Storage: Reliable delivery of
electricity is becoming an increasingly important concern that is not
being addressed by market mechanisms. The inherent losses in
conventional electric conductors represent a long-standing inefficiency
that may soon be addressed by the emerging technology of high-
temperature superconductivity. The 2003 program activities will include:
(1) High-Temperature Superconductivity: super-efficient generators,
transformers, and transmission cables that reduce energy losses by 50
percent and allow equipment to be half the size of current systems; (2)
Distributed Energy Systems: develop advanced technologies to enhance the
reliability, capacity, and power quality of electric power transmission
and distribution. Work in partnership with industry to develop and
integrate energy storage systems and distributed power generation.
Develop and test real-time system controls to ensure reliability during
both normal and emergency power system operations.
Renewable Support and Implementation: encourage municipal and public
power entities to acquire renewable energy generation resources through
the Renewable Energy Production Incentive; encourage the deployment of
U.S. renewable energy technologies in the developing world through the
International Renewable Energy Program; facilitate the identification
and responsible development of renewable energy resources on Native
American lands; and encourage the use of renewable energy technologies
in remote areas of the U.S. through the competitive solicitation
program. The Departmental Energy Management program will continue to
fund, through internal competition, the most worthwhile direct funding
opportunities to improve energy efficiency through the use of renewable
technologies in DOE's facilities.
Nuclear fission.--The 2003 budget request continues to support the
Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (NERI), an investigator-initiated,
peer-reviewed research and development program that addresses key issues
affecting the future of nuclear
[[Page 398]]
energy, including nuclear waste storage and disposal, nuclear plant
economics and operational safety, and potential for weapons
proliferation.
The Department also continues to support the University program,
preserving the education and training infrastructure needed to develop
the next generation of nuclear scientists and engineers. In addition,
Administration's proposal supports the Nuclear Energy Technologies
program, which includes Generation IV systems to pursue the development
of next generation nuclear energy and nuclear fuel cycle technologies in
collaboration with the international community and the Nuclear Power
2010 program to pursue regulatory approvals and design completion in a
phased approach, leading to construction and startup of new nuclear
plants in the U.S. by 2010.
Nuclear fission programs also support the Department's critical
infrastructure necessary to enable research on advanced nuclear power
systems for U.S. national security and other federal agencies, the
production of radioisotopes for medical and other research purposes and
maintain and operate the Department's nuclear facilities, including the
Advanced Test Reactor and hotcells, in a safe, environmentally compliant
and cost-effective manner.
Environment, safety and health.--The Office of Environment, Safety
and Health is a corporate resource that fosters protection of workers,
the public, and the environment. The office develops and improves
policies; monitors environment, safety, and health performance; and
provides guidance, resources, and information sharing.
Note that the budget request for the Office of Environment, Safety
and Health programs is contained in two accounts: Energy Supply and
Other Defense Activities. The funding in this account supports policy,
standards and guidance and DOE-wide ES&H 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, 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.

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
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 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 toward this goal, EM can reduce the
hazards presently facing its workforce and the public, and reduce the
financial burden on the taxpayer. The 2003 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 2003 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. 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 2006. This includes projects at the following
operations offices and sites: Idaho, Oakland, Albuquerque, and West
Valley, New York.
Excess Facilities.--Provides funding to manage the final disposition
of excess contaminated physical facilities transferred to the EM
program. Activities in 2003 will be limited to surveillance and
maintenance to keep the facilities in a safe condition. The account
includes excess facilities at the Los Alamos, New Mexico, Brookhaven
National Laboratory, New York, and Oak Ridge, Tennessee transferred from
the Office of Science.

Note.--Excludes $5 million in budget authority in BY for natural gas
infrastructure activities transferred to the Department of Transportation,
Office of Pipeline Safety. Comparable amounts for PY ($10 million) and CY
($10 million) are included above.
The Fossil Energy Research and Development program supports high-
priority, high risk and crosscutting 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.
President's Clean Coal Research Initiative.--This year, the budget
consolidates all coal research under one umbrella: the President's Clean
Coal Research initiative. This approach will increase the efficiency and
management of the effort, eliminating duplication, as well as provide
for a more transparent budget structure. The Department will continue to
increase involvement of the private sector and academia to help conduct
and direct research toward the most critical barriers to expansion of
coal use for power generation in the United States. This cooperative
effort will require industry to share in the cost of research work, with
the industry share increasing as technologies approach commercial
stages. Technologies will be selected with the goal of accelerating
development and deployment of coal technologies that will economically
meet environmental standards, while increasing the efficiency and
reliability of coal power plants. The coal R&D program will focus on
addressing the energy and environmental demands of the post-2000
domestic market, and includes three elements: (1) Central systems, which
includes the technologies for advanced coal-fueled power systems, and
innovations for existing plants; (2) Sequestration R&D, which focuses on
greenhouse gas capture and reduction; and (3) 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.
Other Power Systems.--Other Power Systems focuses on novel power
generation systems, distributed power generation systems including fuel
cell technology, and supporting technology for all power systems.
Oil and Gas.--The Oil and Gas programs aim to develop revolutionary
technologies for exploration and production of oil and gas from deeper
geologic formations, harsher environments and more complex reservoirs,
as well as methane hydrates. Other areas include providing small
operators with tools to boost environmental performance and recovery
efficiency of marginal wells via technology transfer. Natural gas
infrastructure research activities previously carried out under this
heading are transferred to the Department of Transportation's Office of
Pipeline Safety to reduce duplication and streamline efforts.
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, onsite cleanup, and cleanup
at several former offsite 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).
Import/Export Authorization.--This program will continue regulatory
reviews and oversight of the transmission of natural gas and electricity
across the U.S. borders.

The Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves has historically managed,
operated, maintained and produced the reserves to achieve the greatest
value and benefit to the Government. From FY 1976 through FY 2000, NPOSR
production activities generated a net income of $21 billion for the U.S.
Treasury. As a result of the National Defense Authorization Act for FY
1996, NPR-1 (Elk Hills) was sold to Occidental Petroleum Corporation and
all three naval oil shale reserves (NOSR) have been transferred outside
the Department. Administrative jurisdiction for NOSR-1 and NOSR-3 were
transferred to the Department of the Interior to be made available for
leasing. The third oil shale reserve, NOSR-2, was transferred to the UTe
Indian Tribe in January 2000 in accordance with the Floyd D. Spence
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001. The U.S.
retains a 9% royalty interest in the value of any oil, gas, other
hydrocarbons, and other minerals produced from the conveyed land, which
will be applied to costs for remediation of the uranium mill tailings
site near Moab, Utah. The most significant post-sale activity 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. Under the Rocky Mountain
Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) program, the naval petroleum reserves
offers NPR-3 (Teapot Dome) to the oil industry for use as a working
laboratory on a cost sharing basis. The FY 2003 budget request is
structured to consolidate the operations and management activities for
the three remaining activities--Naval Petroleum Reserve Number 2, Naval
Petroleum Reserve Number 3, and the Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing
Center. The Elk Hills closeout work includes reservoir engineering
analysis to determine final equity percentages; legal support for all
sale-related issues; and environmental remediation and cultural resource
activities required as a result of the sale agreement. Responsibilities
for the other properties include management and environmental compliance
of the 17 NPR-2 leases; operation and maintenance of NPR-3 field
operations; and environmental remediation of NPR-3.

The Administration's energy efficiency programs produce substantial
benefits for the Nation--both now and in the future--in terms of
economic growth, increased energy 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 Energy Policy Act of 1992 and other authorizing
legislation.
Independent estimates suggest that the dollar benefits of these
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.
In total, the Department projects that its energy efficiency
programs will 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 2003 budget request
represent a balanced portfolio of applied research and development.
Virtually all of the research and development programs are conducted
jointly with industrial partners who share significantly in research
costs. 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 the buildings 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 Building Research and Standards program accelerates the availability
of highly efficient buildings technologies and practices through
research and development; increases the minimum efficiency of buildings
and equipment through building codes, and appliance standards, and
guidelines; and encourages the use of energy-efficient and renewable
energy technologies and practices in residential and commercial
buildings.
In addition, 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 and 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.
Federal Energy Management Program.--The Federal Energy Management
Program (FEMP) reduces the cost and environmental impact of the Federal
government by advancing energy efficiency and water conservation,
promoting the use of renewable energy, and managing utility costs in
Federal facilities and operations. FEMP helps Federal agencies use
energy savings performance contracts (ESPC) and utility energy savings
contracts (UESC) to finance energy savings improvements at no net cost
to taxpayers. FEMP also provides project-specific design assistance,
energy audits, training, and technical information to help agencies
implement energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy
technology projects. The program issues technical information, including
Federal Technology Alerts and Product Energy Efficiency Recommendations,
to help agencies make smarter energy investments. FEMP also assists
agencies in meeting annual energy reporting requirements to Congress and
the President, and disseminates educational information through its web
site, newsletter, and other guidance materials.
Industrial sector.--The program focuses on funding cost-shared
research in critical technology areas identified by industry. Through
its ``Industries of the Future'' (Specific) program 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 target R&D resources toward where
they can provide the largest benefit. OIT has targetted the most energy-
intensive and environmentally sensitive industries including: chemicals,
forest products, steel, aluminum, metal casting, agriculture, mining,
and glass. The focus is on high risk but promising technologies that
decrease these industries' use of raw materials and depletable energy
resources and reduce generation of wastes and pollutants. The Industries
of the Future (Crosscutting) program develops technologies that are
useful to multiple industries simultaneously, such as combustion
equipment including gasification of biomass waste, 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.
Several Industries of the future sub-programs also contribute to the
Department's Integrated Biomass initiative, including Agriculture,
Industrial Gasification, and a portion of Forest Products.
Transportation sector.--This program funds the Office of
Transportation Technologies (OTT), which conducts research and
development of technologies that have the potential to significantly
alter current projections of U.S. and world demand for energy,
particularly oil. This program is the focal point for much of the
Government's direct support for cooperative research programs with the
automotive and truck industries, including the Administration's new
FreedomCAR initiative. The program's goals include contributing to
substantial improvements in fuel economy, as well as major reductions in
environmental emissions, including criteria pollutants and carbon
dioxide. Program priorities encompass a suite of technologies, including
fuel cells, lightweight materials, electronic
[[Page 404]]
power control, high power storage, and hybrid electric drive motors.
This program also supports research specifically aimed at improving the
efficiency of energy conversion in advanced combustion engines and
development of cleaner, more available, and more diverse transportation
fuels, and demonstrating advanced alternative fuel vehicles. The program
also implements the Energy Policy Act provisions that are intended to
accelerate the use of alternative fuels and vehicles. OTT's public
education programs are consistent with the President's National Energy
Policy to expand consumer understanding of alternative fuel and energy
efficient vehicles.
Power sector.--The program continues research and development to
transform the current, inefficient electrical generation sector to a
smarter, flexible and efficient energy system through the development
and integration of distributed generation and combined heat and power
technologies. Distributed generation refers to the production of
electricity at or near the point of consumption in the residential,
commercial, industrial or utility sector. Combined heat and power refers
to energy systems that maximize efficiency by utilizing the heat
generated from the production of electricity. Collectively, distributed
generation and combined heat and power are referred to as Distributed
Energy Resources (DER). Specifically, the public-private partnerships
develop low cost, efficient, and clean energy choices for consumers that
increase reliability and power quality as well as increase energy
security in the U.S. These choices include fuel-flexible microturbines,
gas turbines, reciprocating engines, fuel cells, desiccants, absorption
chillers, and package or hybrid systems. In addition, the program
addresses barriers to integrating these technologies with current
building practices. Program priorities focus on increasing generation
technology efficiencies to greater than 40 percent (compared to the
current average grid efficiency of 33 percent), doubling the system
efficiency at the customer site to greater than 70 percent while
reducing emissions, and improving indoor air quality.

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. During 2000, the Department established
a two million barrel heating oil component of the reserve in the
Northeast to help protect Americans from possible fuel shortages.
The account provides for ongoing operations and maintenance
activities, vapor pressure control, planning studies, and program
administration, as well as petroleum reserve storage facility
construction.
The key measure of program performance is expressed as capability to
comply with Level 1 Performance Criteria. These
[[Page 405]]
criteria are specific engineered performance and reliability standards
applied to critical inventory storage, drawdown, and distribution
systems required for drawing down and distributing crude oil inventory.

This account provides for the acquisition, transportation, and
injection of petroleum into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and for its
drawdown and distribution. The budget proposes $11 million to fund fill
of the SPR to its 700 million barrel capacity. The Department of Energy
will add approximately 108 million barrels of oil to the SPR through
placement into the SPR of royalty oil from federal offshore leases. The
funding will provide incremental costs of terminalling, transportation,
power, and third party inspections. Filling the SPR addresses the
President's initiative to enhance the energy security of the United
States by strengthening the nation's capability to respond to potential
oil supply disruptions.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulates key
interstate aspects of the electric power, natural gas, oil pipeline, and
hydropower industries. The Commission chooses regulatory approaches that
foster competitive markets whenever possible, assures access to reliable
service at a reasonable price, and gives full and fair consideration to
environmental and community impacts in assessing the public interest of
energy projects. Regulated businesses pay fees and charges sufficient to
recover the Government's full costs of operations.
Energy Infrastructure.--The Commission must promote a secure, high
quality and environmentally responsible infrastructure through
consistent policies to meet market and operational demands. To ensure
that needed new infrastructure is financially viable, 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 and sets rates for the interstate transmission and
wholesale sales of electric energy. It approves rates for all Federal
power marketing administrations, but not for TVA. The Commission also
certifies three special classes of power generators: cogeneration
facilities, small power production facilities, and exempt wholesale
generators. Furthermore, 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 incentive
mechanisms to promote the development of the nation's electric and gas
infrastructures and support the competitive marketplace.
The Commission will continue to ensure that environmental concerns
involving energy projects are properly addressed and that the public
interest is protected when new hydropower projects are licensed or
relicensed and when new natural gas pipeline services are authorized.
The Commission issues preliminary permits, exemptions, licenses and
relicenses for non-federal hydroelectric projects, enforces their terms
and conditions, and performs dam safety inspections. It 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, collects this
amount from licensees, and returns it to the U.S. Treasury. The
Commission also issues certificates authorizing natural gas pipelines to
construct and operate new facilities and to provide new services.
Competitive Energy Markets.--The Commission fosters nationwide
competitive energy markets as a substitute for traditional regulation.
Since enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the Commission has
introduced a number of initiatives to foster wholesale competition in
the generation sector of the electric utility industry. In 1996, the
Commission issued Order Nos. 888 and 889, which require all
jurisdictional public utilities to provide open access transmission
service to all wholesale customers under standard terms and conditions.
At the end of 1999, the Commission issued Order No. 2000, which called
on utilities to voluntarily form regional transmission organizations
(RTOs). As a result, many utilities have proposed to turn over control
of their transmission systems to RTOs. This requires Commission
approval. For the development of RTOs with consistent ways of doing
business and that operate efficiently on a regional basis, the
Commission will encourage standardized business rules and practices to
maximize market efficiency, ease market entry, and reduce transactions
costs. The Commission will use balanced, industry-led organizations to
develop reliability and business practice standards, and will ensure
that RTOs will have responsibility for regional transmission planning.
Market Oversight.--The Commission must protect customers and market
participants through vigilant and fair oversight of the transitioning
energy markets. The Commission will strengthen the role of RTO market
monitoring units and will count on them as the first line of defense
against problems. The Commission will ensure procompetitive market
structures by identifying and remedying problems, assessing market and
infrastructure conditions against objective benchmarks, and periodically
reviewing and revising market rules for sustained, long-term development
of energy markets. To this end, the Commission will publish a Seasonal
Market Assessment in advance of the summer cooling season and again
before the winter heating season, assessing conditions and prioritizing
actions needed for improvement of market performance. This will allow
for correction of major potential problems in the markets before they
become serious. In addition, the Commission will continue to ensure that
mergers and consolidations are consistent with pro-competitive goals.
The Commission will detect abuses of market power quickly and use
prohibitions and penalties as necessary to remove, prevent, and deter
abuses. The Commission will conduct investigations as warranted and act
on complaints, using litigation before administrative law judges as
necessary.
Resource Administration.--Efficient administration of resources
facilitates the Commission's ability to accomplish its regulatory
mission. Resource administration includes human resources management and
development, financial management, procurement, strategic planning,
information technology, and external communications.

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.
Remaining funds are transferred to the Fossil Energy Research and
Development account to increase efficiency by placing the entire federal
coal research effort under one umbrella, the President's Coal Research
Initiative. These funds can continue to be used to meet previous
commitments in the earlier program, with surplus funds available for
ongoing projects or the newer initiative within the reorganized program.

The alternative fuels program was established in 1980 for the
purpose of expediting the development and production of alternative
fuels from coal.
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
1999. Under the settlement agreement and provided that funds are
appropriated, the first five installments are for $36 million each year,
and the remaining balance is to be paid in two equal installments in
years six and seven. In addition to the $36 million already appropriated
for 2003, the budget requests $36 million in 2003 for the fifth
installment payment.
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Alternative Energy
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)
The budget includes a proposal to use the Federal share of bonus
bids from opening a small portion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
to oil and gas exploration to supplement the funding for renewal and
related energy research. The budget assumes that 1.2 billion of the
bonus bids that would come to the Federal Government in 2004 would be
spent on alternative energy programs over a period of seven years.

On July 10, 2000 the President directed the Department of Energy to
establish a 2-million barrel home heating oil component of the Strategic
Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in the Northeast. The intent was to create a
buffer loose enough to allow commercial companies to compensate for
interruptions in supply or severe weather, but not so large as to
dissuade suppliers from responding to increasing prices as a sign that
more supply is needed. Two million barrels of oil would give Northeast
consumers adequate supplies for approximately 10 days, the time required
for ships to carry heating oil from the Gulf of Mexico to New York
harbor for distribution. The Department issued a solicitation to
exchange crude oil from the SPR for two million barrels of distillate
heating oil stocks and for storage facilities in the Northeast.
Contracts were awarded on August 17, 2000, for two million barrels of
heating oil and storage tank capacity in Connecticut and in New Jersey.
In November 2000, Congress amended the Energy Policy and Conservation
Act of 2000 providing clear authority for the reserve. On March 6, 2001
Energy Secretary Abraham formally notified Congress that the
Administration would establish the Reserve as a permanent part of
America's energy readiness effort, separate from the Strategic Petroleum
Reserve. On August 6, 2001 the Secretary approved the relocation of
250,000 barrels of heating oil inventory from Connecticut to Rhode
Island, giving the reserve a third location from which it could
distribute fuel. The FY 2001 budget request for the Northeast Home
Heating Oil Reserve was financed with $8 million (new BA of $4 million
and a transfer of $4 million from the SPR Petroleum Account). The
request included continued leasing of commercial storage space, third
party inspections, and development of an internet sales platform. For
2002, the Department requested $8 million in new budget authority that
supports the continued operation of the reserve, solicitation support
from Defense Energy Support Center, and lease of commercial storage
space. The FY 2003 ($8 million) request continues operation of the
reserve, solicitation support from the Defense Energy Support Center,
and lease of commercial storage space.

Growing quantities of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive
waste have been accumulating at commercial nuclear reactor sites and
storage facilities across the country for half a century. They come from
nuclear plants generating commercial electric power, nuclear weapons
production, the operation of naval reactors, and Federal research and
development activities. At Congress's direction, DOE has investigated
the suitability of a storage site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, 100 miles
northwest of Las Vegas, for over 20 years. Based on sound science and
compelling national interests, the Secretary of Energy has informed the
Governor of Nevada of his intent to recommend the Yucca Mountain site to
the President for development as a geologic repository for the Nation's
nuclear waste. Should the site be formally designated this year, current
plans call for the repository to open in 2010. The budget provides
sufficient funding for DOE to prepare a license application to meet that
deadline. If the site is designated, the Administration also will seek
additional funding to begin essential transportation-related activities
and provide a long-term management and financing plan for the entire
licensing and construction effort. The Administration is committed to
ensuring the environmentally sound and safe disposal of the Nation's
radioactive waste.
In 2001, actual interest earnings were $1,243 million, and they are
estimated to decline to $688 million in 2002 and $742 million in 2003.
The reason for the decline is that the decrease in market interest rates
in 2001 significantly increased the market value of the zero-coupon
bonds held by the fund, and the interest on these bonds is calculated as
the change in market value. In 2002 and 2003, interest earnings are
projected based on the effective yield method, instead of estimating the
change in market value. We use the effective yield approach, because
interest rates are impossible to predict accurately and because it is a
simple method of projecting what will happen in the future ``on
average.'' The effective yield method is consistent with a small
increase in market value.

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.
Operation and Maintenance, Southeastern Power Administration
For necessary expenses of operation and maintenance of power
transmission facilities and of marketing electric power and energy,
including transmission wheeling and ancillary services, pursuant to the
provisions of section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C.
825s), as applied to the southeastern power area, [$4,891,000]
$4,784,000, to remain available until expended[; in addition,
notwithstanding the provisions of 31 U.S.C. 3302, up to $8,000,000
collected by the Southeastern Power Administration pursuant to the Flood
Control Act to recover purchase power and wheeling expenses shall be
credited to this account as offsetting collections, to remain available
until expended for the sole purpose of making purchase power and
wheeling expenditures]. (Energy and Water Development Appropriations

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 contracting for
use of transmission facilities owned by others. There are 23 projects
now in operation.
SEPA sells wholesale power primarily to publicly and cooperatively-
owned electric distribution utilities. SEPA does not own or operate any
transmission facilities. Its long-term contracts provide for periodic
electric rate adjustments to ensure that the Federal Government recovers
costs of operation and capital invested in power, with interest, in
keeping with statutory requirements.
Program direction.--Provision is made for negotiation and
administration of transmission and power contracts, collection of
revenues, development of wholesale power rates, the amortization of
power investment, energy efficiency and competitiveness program,
investigation and planning of proposed water resources projects,
scheduling and dispatch of power generation, scheduling storage and
release of water, administration of contractual operation requirements,
and determination of methods of operating generating plants individually
and in coordination with others to obtain maximum utilization of
resources. Proprietary receipts deposited in the Treasury were $87
million for fiscal year 2001 and are estimated to be $165 million for
2002 and $98 million for 2003.
Purchase power and wheeling.--Between 2001 and 2004, the
Southeastern Power Administration will phase-out Fed
[[Page 414]]
eral financing of purchase power and wheeling activities. Authority to
spend power revenues to pay for purchase of power and wheeling
activities will end after 2004. Industry restructuring and resulting
competition now make it attractive for Southeastern's customers to shop
for power and transmission services. Southeastern may continue to
support customer bill crediting, net billing and other alternative
financing arrangements for these activities.
Based on Administration policy, the Southeastern Power
Administration will set rates consistent with current law to recover the
full cost of the Civil Service Retirement System and post-retirement
health benefits for its employees.
Beginning in 2003, the Administration proposes that the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers' operation and maintenance costs in Southeastern's
service area be funded from Southeastern receipts derived from the sale
of power and related services.
Note:--The proprietary receipts estimate for 2003 assumes
implementation of a proposal to fund power-related Corps of Engineers
operation and maintenance expenses directly from Southeastern receipts.

A continuing fund of $50 thousand, maintained from receipts from the
sale and transmission of electric power in the southeastern area, is
available to defray expenses necessary to ensure continuity of service
(16 U.S.C. 825s-2). The fund was activated during 2001 to finance power
purchases associated with below normal hydropower generation due to
drought.

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, 23
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 program costs related
to the operation, maintenance, and support functions of the power system
and includes salaries and benefits, travel, support services, rent,
communications, and other related expenses.
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 $81
million were deposited in the Treasury in 2001. Proprietary receipts are
estimated to be $91 million in 2002 and $39 million in 2003.
Purchase power and wheeling.--Between 2001 and 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 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.
Beginning in 2003, the Administration proposes that the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers' operation and maintenance costs in Southwestern's
service area be funded from Southwestern receipts derived from the sale
of related services.
Note.--Proprietary receipts estimate for 2003 assumes implemention
of proposal to find power-related corps of Engineers operation and
maintenance expenses directly from Southwestern receipts.

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 almost 17,000 circuit-miles of high-voltage transmission line,
264 substations/switchyards, and 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, 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 2001 and 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
[[Page 417]]
and wheeling activities will end after 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 its 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.--This account is earmarked
primarily for environmental mitigation expenditures covering fish and
wildlife, and recreation resources impacted by the Central Utah Project
and the Colorado River Storage Project in the State of Utah. The FY 2003
President's Budget proposes to end Western's mitigation funding of this
activity. Western sells and transmits power from two projects in Utah
and provides mitigation funding separately for these operations. Western
does not transmit power from the Central Utah Project or from any other
projects in Utah.
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.
Beginning in FY 2003, the Administration proposes that financing of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' operation and maintenance costs in
Western's service area, allocated to the power function for repayment,
may be funded from Western receipts derived from the sale of power and
related services.

Pursuant to section 423(c) of the Foreign Relations Authorization
Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995, Western Area Power Administration is
requesting an appropriation from the Falcon and Amistad operating and
maintenance fund, to defray operations, maintenance, and emergency
(O,M&E) expenses for the hydroelectric facilities at Falcon and Amistad
dams on the Rio Grande river. Most of these funds will be made available
to the United States Section of the International Boundary and Water
Commission through a reimbursable agreement. $200,000 in the fund is for
an emergency reserve that will remain unobligated unless unanticipated
expenses arise. Revenues in excess of O,M&E will be paid to the General
Fund to repay the costs of replacements and the original investment with
interest. Revenues resulting from the Falcon and Amistad dams power
system operations are deposited to the Falcon and Amistad operating and
maintenance fund.
Public enterprise funds:
Bonneville Power Administration Fund
Expenditures from the Bonneville Power Administration Fund,
established pursuant to Public Law 93-454, are approved for official
reception and representation expenses in an amount not to exceed $1,500.

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 9 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 2002 to consist of an estimated 15,000 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-
five 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
[[Page 419]]
Transmission System Act of 1974 (Transmission Act) (Public Law 93-454)
and the 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. The FY 2003 budget includes a
proposal to increase BPA borrowing authority by $700 million to finance
planned infrastrucutre investments.
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 2003.
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 30 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation hydro 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. In implementing the new borrowing
authority, Bonneville will encourage private-sector or other non-federal
financing or joint financing of transmission line expansions and
additions, develop a five-year investment plan with the participation of
the regional Infrastructure Technical Review Committee or its successor
in the region, use funds only for authorized purposes, include the
proposed use of the funds in its annual budget submissions, and select
projects based on cost effectiveness criteria for achieving the
objective. 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 2003 capital obligations
are estimated to be $631 million. To the extent BPA capital borrowing
authority is insufficient in 2003, BPA would use cash reserves generated
by revenues from customers, if available, to finance some of these
investments.
In 2001, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $588 million and also
expects to make payments of $691 million in 2002 and $718 million in
2003. The 2003 payment will be distributed as follows: interest on bonds
and appropriations ($471 million), and amortization ($247 million). BPA
also received credits totaling $593 million applied against its Treasury
payments to reflect amounts diverted to fish mitigation efforts in the
Columbia and Snake River systems.
Direct loans.--During 2003, no new direct loan obligations may be
made.
Operating results.--Total revenues are forecast at approximately
$3.7 billion in 2003.
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.

Office of Management, Budget and Evaluation.--On July 26, 2001, the
Secretary of Energy announced the reorganization of the former Offices
of Management and Administration and the Chief Financial Officer into
the Office of Management, Budget and Evaluation. Consolidating the
functions of these two organizations will facilitate better integration
of budgeting and more efficient management of resources. The Office of
Management, Budget and Evaluation provides the Department with
centralized direction and oversight of the full range of financial and
planning activities, as well as management administration services
contributing to the strategic objective: ``Demonstrate efficient,
effective, and economical management of the Department's human capital,
financial resources, and physical assets.'' Financial activities include
strategic planning and program evaluation; budget formulation,
presentation and execution; oversight of DOE-wide internal controls;
operation and maintenance of the Department's payroll and financial
management systems; project management and contract oversight; and
program evaluation. Management and administration activities include
establishing Departmental human resource and procurement policies,
providing human resource and procurement services to DOE headquarters
staff, managing headquarters facilities, and providing an array of other
administrative services critical to the proper functioning of the
Department of Energy. The budget for the Office of Management, Budget
and Evaluation also supports the activities of the Secretary of Energy
Advisory Board (SEAB), an external advisory board chartered under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (Public Law 92-436).
Chief Information Officer--In FY 2003, the Office of the Chief
Information Officer will be transferred from the Office of Security and
Emergency Operations, in the Other Defense Activities account to the
Departmental Administration account.
The Chief Information Officer program defines and implements
policies to ensure efficient, economical and effective management,
planning and acquisition of information resources in support of the
Department's missions. The program is also responsible for coordinating
corporate cyber security policy, planning and technical development;
directing the replacement of outdated corporate information systems; and
delivering shared or common services.
Congressional and intergovernmental affairs.--This office is
responsible for coordinating, directing, and promoting the Secretary's
and the Department's policies and legislative initiatives with the
Congress, State, territorial, Tribal and local government officials, and
other Federal agencies. The office is also responsible for managing and
overseeing the Department's liaison with members of Congress, the White
House and other levels of government and stakeholders which includes
public interest groups representing state, local and tribal governments.
Office of Public Affairs.--This office is responsible for directing
and managing the Secretary's, Department's, and Administration's
policies and initiatives with the public, news media and other
stakeholders on energy issues and also serves as the Department's chief
spokesperson. The office manages and
[[Page 423]]
oversees all public affairs efforts, which includes public information,
press and media services, the departmental newsletter DOE This Month,
speech writing, special projects, editorial services, the Department's
home page, and review of proposed publications and audiovisuals.
General Counsel.--This office is responsible for providing legal
services to all energy activities except for those functions belonging
exclusively to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which is served
by its own General Counsel. Its responsibilities entail the provision of
legal opinions, advice and services to administrative and program
offices, and the conduct of both administrative and judicial litigation,
as well as legal advice and support for enforcement activities. Further,
the General Counsel appears before State and Federal agencies in defense
of national energy policies and activities. The office is responsible
for the coordination and clearance of proposed legislation affecting
energy activities and testimony before Congress. The General Counsel is
also responsible for ensuring consistency and legal sufficiency of all
energy regulations; administering and monitoring standards of conduct
requirements; and conducting the patents program.
Office of the Secretary.--Directs and leads management of the
Department and provides policy guidance to line and staff organizations
in the accomplishment of agency objectives.
Board of Contract Appeals.--Adjudicates disputes arising out of the
Department's contracts and financial assistance programs and provides
for neutral services and facilities for alternative dispute resolution.
Economic impact and diversity.--This office is responsible for:
advising the Secretary on the effects of the Department's policies,
regulations and actions on underrepresented population groups,
communities, and business enterprises; conducting research to determine
energy consumption and use patterns of minorities; and providing
technical assistance to minority educational institutions and minority
business enterprises to enable them to participate more fully in
departmental activities. The office is also responsible for initiatives
which promote inclusion in all aspects of the Department's human capital
and financial resources by increasing diversity in hiring, contracting,
internships, mentoring, and other developmental programs; administering
a departmental small and disadvantaged business program; serves as the
Department's enforcer to ensure that the civil rights of employees are
protected and complaints are processed within applicable regulatory
timeframes; implements the Department's environmental justice strategy;
and is responsible for the Office of Employee Concerns which manages the
whistle blower reform initiative; employee surveys; and eliminating
practices of racial profiling.
Cost of work for others.--This activity covers the cost of work
performed under orders placed with the Department by non-DOE entities
which are precluded by law from making advance payments and certain
revenue programs. Reimbursement for these costs is made through deposits
of offsetting collections to this account.
Corporate management information program (CMIP).--This initiative
began in 1998 and supports the objectives of the National Performance
Review to provide better delivery of information and more efficient
support to DOE's customers through modernized corporate information
systems using more cost effective and current information technology.
Funding in the amount of $53.0 million has been provided from 1999
through 2002 to support modernization of corporate administrative
systems at DOE.
Current CMIP investment projects support the following initiatives:
Business Management Information Systems; Architecture and Planning; and
Infrastructure. CMIP will establish common business solutions,
supporting data, and associated software applications consistent with
the Departmental Information Architecture to meet business needs, and
legislative and regulatory mandates. In FY 2002, the CMIP project was
funded by the Office of Security and Emergency Operations (SO), and
Departmental Administration for $15 million. In FY 2003, the Chief
Information Officer will provide for the continued development and on-
going maintenance of this important modernization investment initiative.
