    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.

    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.

    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.

    Note.--A regular 2003 appropriation for this account had not been 
enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is 
operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 107-229, as amended). The 
amounts included for 2003 in this budget reflect the Administration's 
2003 policy proposals.

    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.

    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.

    As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this non-
budgetary account records all cash flows to and from the Government 
resulting from direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including 
credit sales of acquired property that resulted from obligations in any 
year). The amounts in this account are a means of financing and are not 
included in the budget totals.

                      Hazardous Substance Superfund

                      (including transfer of funds)

    For necessary expenses to carry out the Comprehensive Environmental 
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended, 
including sections 111(c)(3), (c)(5), (c)(6), and (e)(4) (42 U.S.C. 
9611), and for construction, alteration, repair, rehabilitation, and 
renovation of facilities, not to exceed $75,000 per project; 
$1,389,716,000, to remain available until expended, consisting of 
$289,716,000, as authorized by section 517(a) of the Superfund 
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), as amended, and 
$1,100,000,000 as a payment from general revenues to the Hazardous 
Substance Superfund for purposes as authorized by section 517(b) of 
SARA, as amended: Provided, That funds appropriated under this heading 
may be allocated to other Federal agencies in accordance with section 
111(a) of CERCLA: Provided further, That of the funds appropriated under 
this heading, $13,213,600 shall be transferred to the ``Office of 
Inspector General'' appropriation to remain available until September 
30, 2005, and $44,697,400 shall be transferred to the ``Science and 
Technology'' appropriation to remain available until September 30, 2005.

    Note.--A regular 2003 appropriation for this account had not been 
enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is 
operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 107-229, as amended). The 
amounts included for 2003 in this budget reflect the Administration's 
2003 policy proposals.

    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:

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

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