This appropriation supports EPA's core programs, and the Agency's
effective management goal to establish a management infrastructure that
will set and implement the highest quality standards for effective
internal management and fiscal responsibility. To assist the Agency in
accomplishing this goal, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) will
provide audit, evaluation, and investigative products and advisory
services to improve the performance and integrity of EPA programs and
operations. These products and services will contribute substantially to
improved environmental quality and human health. Specifically, the OIG
performs contract audits and investigations which focus on costs claimed
by contractors, and on the award and management of contracts. Assistance
agreement audits and investigations evaluate the award, administration,
and costs of assistance agreements. Program audits, evaluations and
investigations determine the extent to which the desired results or
benefits envisioned by the Administration and Congress are being
achieved, and identify activities that contribute to or undermine the
integrity, efficiency, and effectiveness of Agency programs. Financial
statement audits review financial systems and statements to ensure that
adequate controls are in place and the Agency's accounting information
is accurate, reliable and useful, and complies with applicable laws and
regulations. Systems audits review the economy, efficiency, and
effectiveness of operations by examining the Agency's management
structures, its strategic planning, human resources development,
customer focus, and process management. Additional funds for audit,
evaluation and investigative activities associated with the Superfund
Trust Fund are appropriated under that account and transferred to the
Inspector General account to allow for proper accounting, including the
costs of the ombudsman function. This appropriation also supports
activities under the Working Capital Fund.

This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology,
research and development activities including laboratory and center
supplies, certain operating expenses (including activities under the
Working Capital Fund), contracts, grants, intergovernmental agreements,
and purchases of scientific equipment. These activities provide the
scientific and technology basis for EPA's regulatory actions.

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

This appropriation supports core Agency programs and a number of the
Agency's ten goals. Specifically in 2004, our emphasis will be placed on
the following:

Clean Air.--To ensure that every American community has safe and
healthy air to breathe, EPA will conduct a range of science and
technology activities. These include research on the effects to human
health of toxic air pollutants, and research on criteria air pollutants
(ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, and
particulate matter) to develop the scientific basis for EPA's national
ambient air quality standards. EPA will also develop control measures
for mobile sources, including the development of cleaner engine
technologies, and cleaner burning fuels and tools for States to develop
clean air plans and achieve the air quality standards.

Clean and Safe Water.--To support the goal of the American public
having water that is clean and safe to drink, EPA will conduct research
to support development of water quality and safe drinking water
standards. A concerted effort will be made to help small communities
meet the new drinking water standards for arsenic, microbial
contaminants, and disinfection byproducts. EPA will work with states,
tribes, drinking water and wastewater utilities, and other partners to
enhance the security of water utilities. EPA will also conduct the
research to strengthen the scientific basis for development of effective
beach evaluation tools, and to enhance understanding of the structure
and function of aquatic systems through the development of improved
aquatic ecocriteria.

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

[[Page 869]]

Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities, Homes,
Workplaces and Ecosystems.--EPA will enhance its assessments of
potential risks to human health and ecological systems from commercial
chemicals, microorganisms and genetically modified organisms. Pollution
Prevention and risk management strategies will be aimed at cost-
effectively eliminating, reducing, or minimizing potential risks due to
emissions and contamination. The Agency aims to improve indoor
environments through technical support, analysis and producing necessary
information to understand indoor air effects, and identifying potential
health risks so that risk managers can make informed decisions.

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

Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental Risks.--EPA
global change research is dedicated to enhancing our capability to
assess the vulnerability of human health and ecosystems to climate-
induced stressors at the regional scale, and to assess mitigation and
adaptation strategies. The Agency will continue to work with the U.S.
automobile industry in a cooperative research effort to develop advanced
automotive powertrain and engine technology that is both clean and
highly fuel efficient. This effort will focus on developing cost-
effective, near-term technologies for cleaner and more efficient cars
and trucks that can run on both conventional and renewable fuels.
Through its Transportation Efficiency Program, EPA will support ongoing
efforts to provide public information about transportation choices and
consumers' impact on air quality, traffic congestion and climate
changes.

Quality Environmental Information.--To provide the public with
information about the environment, EPA will continue to focus on
improving data collection and data quality and on deploying new
technologies for real time and automated measurement, monitoring and
information delivery. EPA intends to develop policies and procedures for
planning, documenting, implementing and assessing data collection for
use in making Agency decisions.

Sound Science, Improved Understanding of Environmental Risk, and
Greater Innovation to Address Environmental Problems.--EPA will develop
and apply the best available science for addressing current and future
environmental hazards, as well as new approaches toward improving
environmental protection. The Agency will continue to improve its
understanding of risks to the health of the American public and the
Nation's ecosystems. EPA will address emerging environmental issues
while seeking to develop innovative, cost-effective solutions to
pollution prevention and risk reduction. EPA will seek to reduce
uncertainties in risk assessment and help to prevent and manage risk by
using cost-effective approaches.

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

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

This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts,
grants, and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement, control, and
compliance activities and administrative activities of the operating
programs, including activities under the Working Capital Fund.

This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the
Agency's ten goals. Specifically in 2004, EPA will emphasize the
following:

Clean Air.--To ensure that every American community has safe and
healthy air to breathe, EPA will develop and implement new strategies to
attain ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter,
and reduce regional haze through geographic initiatives in areas where
significant transport of pollutants occurs. EPA will continue to develop
and issue national technology-based and risk-based standards to reduce
the quantity of toxic air pollutants emitted from industrial and
manufacturing processes, as well as urban sources. EPA will also develop
control measures for mobile, stationary and other sources that are
regulated at the Federal level. The Acid Rain program will continue its
market-based approach to achieving reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide
and nitrogen oxides primarily from electric utilities.

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

Safe Food.--To ensure that the foods Americans eat will be free from
unsafe levels of pesticide residues, EPA plans to apply strict health-
based standards to the registration of pesticides for use on food or
animal feed, ensure that older pesticides meet current health standards,
decrease the use of pesticides with the highest potential to cause
adverse effects, and expedite and increase the registration of safer
pesticides.

Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities, Homes,
Workplaces and Ecosystems.--Pollution prevention and risk management
strategies will be aimed at cost-effectively eliminating, reducing, or
minimizing toxic chemical emissions and contamination. EPA intends to
reduce potential human and environmental risks as a result of pesticides
from commercial and residential exposure, as well as programs targeting
farmworker protection, endangered species protection, environmental
stewardship, and integrated pest management. Through voluntary actions,
EPA seeks to ensure healthier indoor air for American homes, schools and
office buildings. EPA plans to encourage the development of safer
chemicals by minimizing or reducing the regulatory burdens on new
chemicals that replace more hazardous chemicals already in the
marketplace. The toxicity of wastes will be reduced by focusing on
reductions in persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBTs) chemicals.
The quantity of wastes will also be reduced through source reduction and
recycling.

Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
and Emergency Response.--To ensure that Amer

[[Page 871]]

ica's waste will be stored, treated, and disposed of in ways that
prevent harm to people and to the natural environment, EPA will continue
its Hazardous Waste Minimization and Combustion Strategy, including
setting new standards for hazardous waste incinerators and cement kilns
that burn hazardous waste. In addition, the Agency will focus on
controlling human exposures and groundwater releases at Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) facilities designated as high
priority for corrective action. EPA will develop and promulgate
standards, regulations, and guidelines to reduce exposure from radiation
sources. The Agency will also provide for the federal administrative
expenses of brownfields cleanup activities. Funds reimbursed to EPA
under the Exxon Valdez settlement are available to carry out authorized
environmental restoration activities.

Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental Risks.--The
United States will lead other nations in successful, multilateral
efforts to reduce significant risks to human health and ecosystems from
climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, and other environmental
hazards of international concern. EPA will implement formal bilateral
and multilateral environmental agreements with key countries, execute
environmental components of key foreign policy initiatives, and engage
in regional and global negotiations aimed at reducing environmental
risks via formal and informal agreements. EPA will cooperate with other
countries to ensure that domestic and international environmental laws,
policies, and priorities are recognized and implemented and, where
appropriate, promoted within the multilateral development assistance and
trading system. EPA will also emphasize domestic and international
efforts to limit the production and use of ozone-depleting substances
and develop safe alternative compounds, and demonstrate and promote
public/private partnership programs that reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. In accordance with the Great Lakes Legacy Act, EPA will work
with states and tribal partners to remediate contaminated sediment
sites. Contaminated sediments can adversely affect human health and
aquatic life and contribute to fish consumption advisories. Remediation
will help remove toxic pollutants from the Great Lakes, resulting in
water quality improvements and fish that are less contaminated and safer
to eat.

Quality Environmental Information.--The unprecedented changes in
information technology over the past few years, combined with an
increasing public demand for information, are altering the way the
Agency and States collect, manage, analyze, use, secure, and provide
access to quality environmental information. EPA is working with the
States and Tribes to strengthen our information quality, leverage
information maintained by other government organizations, and develop
new tools that provide the public with simultaneous access to multiple
data sets, allowing users to understand local, state, regional, and
national environmental conditions. Key to achieving information quality
will be the further development of the National Environmental
Information Exchange Network, which is primarily an affiliation between
EPA and the States and Tribes. EPA will continue to develop and define a
fundamentally new approach to integrating, managing, and providing
access to environmental information. EPA will continue to reduce
reporting burden, improve data quality, and speed data publications by
increasing the amount of electronic reporting under the Toxic Release
Inventory (TRI). EPA intends to expand the use of the Internet for
delivering this information.

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

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

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

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

Clean and Safe Water.--This Agency goal is to ensure people are
provided clean and safe water to drink, and to protect and restore
America's water bodies to improve public health, enhance water quality,
reduce flooding, and provide wildlife habitat. In support of this goal,
EPA will provide funds for capitalization grants to States for Clean
Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs), the purpose of which are to make low
interest loans to communities and grants to Indian Tribes and Alaska
Native Villages to construct wastewater treatment infrastructure, and
fund other projects to enhance water quality. Since 1988, the Federal
Government has invested approximately $19.5 billion in grants to help
capitalize the 51 SRFs. With required State match, additional State
contribution, and funds from program leveraging, funds made available
for such loans total approximately $42.4 billion. EPA's goal is for the
Clean Water SRFs to attain a long-term revolving level of $2.8 billion
annually.

Capitalization grants are also provided for the Drinking Water SRFs,
which make low interest loans to public water systems and grants to
Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages to upgrade drinking water
infrastructure to help them provide safe drinking water. EPA's goal is
for the Drinking Water SRFs to attain a long-term revolving level of
$1.2 billion annually.

Direct grants are also provided to help address the significant
water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Alaska Native Villages and
for a direct grant to Puerto Rico for the design of drinking water
infrastructure improvements to the Metropolitano community water system
in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Upon eventual completion of these
infrastructure improvements in San Juan, another 1.4 million people will
receive drinking water that meets public health standards for high risk
contaminants.

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

Clean Air.--To ensure that every American community has safe and
healthy air to breathe, EPA will provide funds to States to upgrade and
improve air monitoring networks to obtain better data on emissions of
particulate matter, ozone, and for regional haze programs. The Budget
includes an additional $7 million to expand and improve air toxics
monitoring to assess EPA air toxics programs. EPA will offer media-
specific and multi-media, and/or Performance Partnership grants to
States and Tribes, and technical assistance to aid in the development of
State and Tribal Implementation Plans to support solutions that address
local air needs.

Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities, Homes,
Workplaces and Ecosystems.--EPA plans to offer media-specific and multi-
media, and/or Performance Partnership grants to States and Tribes,
focusing on pollution prevention, lead, endangered species, worker
protection, pesticide applicator certification and training, source
reduction and recycling. Best approaches for encouraging recycling of
non-hazardous industrial wastes will also be identified through work
with the State and Tribal partners. The agency intends to provide
assistance to States for the development and implementation of State
programs to assess and mitigate radon.

Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
and Emergency Response.--To ensure that America's waste will be stored,
treated, and disposed of in ways that prevent harm to people and to the
natural environment, EPA will work with States, Tribes and local
governments to put environmental protection and decision making in the
hands of those closest to the problems, while maintaining a Federal
leadership role. In addition, EPA will fund brownfields projects
resulting in 1,000 assessments, paving the way for productive reuse of
these properties and bringing the cumulative number of sites assessed to
over 5,000. There will be direct assistance through media-specific, and
multi-media and/or Performance Partnership grants to enable Tribes to
implement hazardous waste programs.

A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance With the
Law.--To promote compliance with laws intended to protect human health
and the environment, EPA will offer media specific and multi-media
funding to States and Tribes for compliance assurance activities
including compliance assistance and incentives, inspections and
enforcement activities.

Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental Risks.--The
Agency will provide direct grant assistance to address the serious
environmental and human health problems associated with untreated and
industrial and municipal sewage on the U.S.-Mexico border. In 2004, a
cumulative 990 thousand residents of the U.S.-Mexico border area will be
protected from health risks because of the construction of adequate
water and wastewater sanitation systems since 1994. These funds also
support attainment for the Clean and Safe Water goal. EPA has met its
NAFTA commitment to provide a total of $700 million for drinking water
and wastewater infrastructure needs in the area. However, in recognition
of the continuing environmental and public health needs in the area, the
Budget continues funding for these activities.

Quality Environmental Information.--EPA plans to provide $25 million
to States to better enable them to integrate their environmental
information systems. The purpose of this support is two-fold: to assist
the Agency in managing for results and to allow States to maintain the
necessary presence in this area.

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980, as amended, authorizes appropriations from the
general fund to finance activities conducted through the Hazardous
Substance Superfund. The authorization for general fund payments to the
Superfund expired in 1995, but the Administration proposes to continue
the payment from the general fund at $1,100,000,000 million in 2004.

Environmental Services

Beginning in fiscal year 2004 and thereafter, the Administrator is
authorized to assess fees from any person required to submit data under
section 4 or 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act without regard to the
dollar limitations established in section 26(b)(1) of the Act. Such fees
shall be calculated based on costs associated with administering those
sections of the Act, and shall be paid at the time of data submission,
unless otherwise specified by the Administrator. The Administrator may
take into account the ability to pay of the person required to submit
the data. The Administrator shall promulgate rules to implement this
provision. Such rules may provide for allocating the fee in any case in
which the expenses of data submission under section 4 or 5 are shared.
Fees collected under this provision shall be deposited in a special fund
in the U.S. Treasury, which thereafter will be available, subject to
appropriation, to carry out the Agency's activities for which such fees
are collected.

A special fund was established for the deposit of fee receipts
associated with environmental programs, including motor vehicle engine
certifications. Receipts in this special fund will be appropriated to
the Science and Technology account in 2004 to finance the expenses of
the programs that generate the receipts. Contingent appropriations
language is being proposed to modify the cap on the allowable fee that
can be charged to recover the costs of EPA's Premanufacture Notification
program, for which EPA will issue a rulemaking. Enactment of this
appropriations language and needed authorizing legislation would
generate $4 million in receipts in 2004 that would be discretionary
under the Budget Enforcement Act.

Fees are paid by industry to offset costs of accelerated
reregistration, expedited processing of pesticides, and establishing
tolerances for pesticide chemicals in or on food and animal feed.
Tolerance reassessment activities will in large part be financed by the
tolerance fee, which is authorized by the Food Quality Protection Act of
1996. The President's Budget includes a proposal to extend through
fiscal year 2006

[[Page 875]]

at a reduced level, the pesticide maintenance fee which is scheduled to
expire before 2004. This fee, which was originally authorized in the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act of 1988, will be
used for reregistration activities and expedited processing of similar
applications, as required by law.

EPA received authority to establish a Working Capital Fund (WCF) and
was designated a pilot franchise fund under Public Law 103-356, the
Government Management and Reform Act of 1994. EPA's WCF became
operational in 1997 and includes two activities: Enterprise Technology
Services Division's computer operations and Agency postage. The 2004
amount reflects only base resources and may change during the year as
programmatic needs change. The Agency received permanent authority for
the WCF in P.L. 105-65, which among other things is intended to increase
competition for government administrative services resulting in lower
costs and higher quality.

This appropriation provides funds for the implementation of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensa- tion and Liability Act
of 1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities under the Working
Capital Fund. This appropriation supports core Agency programs and four
of the Agency's ten goals. Specifically in 2004, emphasis will be placed
on the following:

Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated Waste Sites,
and Emergency Response.--EPA expects to complete cleanups at 40 sites
and conduct 350 removal actions. EPA will initiate remedial action at 8
to 15 additional sites with expanded resources to regions. Through 2002,
cleanups had been completed at 846 sites, and 7,119 removal actions had
been taken. EPA responds to terrorism by cleaning up contaminated
buildings, monitoring ambient conditions around disaster areas, and
removing hazardous materials. EPA will conduct research to provide
improved methods, models and technologies to support the Agency's
objective of reducing or controlling health risks at contaminated sites.
EPA will also work to maximize responsible parties' participation in
site cleanups while promoting fairness in the enforcement process, and
pursue greater recovery of EPA's cleanup costs. EPA will allocate funds
from its appropriation to other Federal agencies to carry out the Act.

Quality Environmental Information.--EPA will continue to inform
decision makers and provide access to balanced environmental data.
Environmental information will better enable the public to understand
conditions and make knowledgeable choices about protecting the health
and the environment of local communities. It will lead to creative and
sustainable solutions to environmental problems and opportunities for
pollution prevention. Quality environmenal information is crucial to
sound decision making and to establishing public trust and confidence in
those decisions.

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

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

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

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

This appropriation supports core Agency programs and two of the
Agency's ten goals. Specifically in 2004, emphasis will be placed on the
following:

Effective Management.--EPA will support the States' and EPA's
efforts to regulate and oversee the cleanup of leaking underground
storage tanks, through a management infrastructure that sets and
implements the highest quality standards for effective internal
management and fiscal responsibility.
