This appropriation supports EPA's core programs by providing funds
for Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit, evaluation, and
investigative products and advisory services. These products and
services contribute substantially to improved environmental quality and
human health and improved business practices and accountability.
Specifically, the OIG performs contract audits and investigations which
focus on costs claimed by contractors and assess the effectiveness of
contract management. 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 could
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 timely, 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 support systems for achieving environmental
goals. 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 and new responsibilities as the IG for the Chemical Safety
and Hazard Investigation Board.

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 each of the
Agency's five goals. Specifically in 2005, our emphasis will be placed
on the following:

Clean Air and Global Climate Change.--To protect and improve the air
so it is healthy to breathe and risks to human health and the
environment are reduced, 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 also will support research on the
effects to human health of toxic air pollutants as well as risk
assessment methodologies. EPA will develop and implement regulatory
programs that will significantly reduce emissions from highway and non-
road sources. 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. EPA will develop tools for state and
local governments to use in developing clean air plans. The Agency aims
to improve indoor environments through providing technical support and
analysis to understand indoor air effects and identifying potential
health risks. EPA will meet the statutory mandates for managing
radiation waste. The Agency will continue to work with the U.S.
automobile industry to further the development of advanced automotive
technologies. 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 outreach
programs, EPA will support ongoing efforts to provide public information
about transportation choices and consumers' impact on air quality and
traffic congestion.

Clean and Safe Water.--To ensure drinking water is safe, restore and
maintain oceans, protect watersheds and their aquatic ecosystems,
support economic and recreational activities, and provide healthy
habitat for fish, plants, and wildlife, 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 stage
1 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 aquat

[[Page 937]]

ic systems through the development of improved aquatic ecocriteria.

Land Preservation and Restoration.--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 the
uncertainty 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 site
remediation. Field analytical methods for soil characterization intend
to provide cheaper and more timely analyses and reduce the uncertainty
of site characterization. To preserve and restore the land, EPA will
conduct research to provide improved methods for site characterization,
risk assessment and exposure analysis, and mitigation approaches as well
as multimedia modeling, technical reports and technical support.

Healthy Communities and Ecosystems.--To protect, sustain or restore
the health of people, communities and ecosystems using integrated and
comprehensive approaches and partnerships, the Agency will conduct
research that contributes to the overall health of people, communities
and ecosystems. This research will focus on pesticides and toxics;
global climate change; homeland security; and comprehensive, cross-
cutting studies of human, community, and ecosystem health. In addition,
this year the Agency proposes a Water Quality Monitoring Initiative to
integrate different scales and types of monitoring to target effective
water quality management actions. The Agency also ensures a safe food
supply by reviewing and licensing pesticides. Sound science provides the
foundation for our actions and guides our decision making in all
activities under this goal.

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 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.

Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.--To improve environmental
performance through compliance with environmental requirements,
preventing pollution, and promoting environmental stewardship, and to
protect human health and the environment by encouraging innovation and
providing incentives for governments, businesses, and the public that
promote environmental stewardship, EPA will conduct research on
socioeconomics, decision making and pollution prevention and new
technology development. This research includes activities to encourage
and support innovation and work with partners and stakeholders to
effectively transfer technologies to the private sector for
commercialization. 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.

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 five goals. Specifically in 2005, EPA will emphasize the
following:

Clean Air and Global Climate Change.--To ensure that every American
community has safe and healthy air to breathe, EPA will apply a variety
of approaches and appropriate tools. EPA will develop and implement
strategies to attain ambient air quality standards for ozone and
particulate matter and reduce regional haze through regional approaches
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 from urban sources. EPA will also
develop control measures for mobile and stationary sources that are best
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; the market-based
approach will also be used in other programs to reduce emissions. EPA
will continue to develop and implement voluntary outreach and
partnership programs about indoor air quality to reduce potential risks
to the public in homes, schools, and workplaces. Through these voluntary
programs, EPA will disseminate information and work with state, tribal,
and local governments; industry and professional groups; and the public
to reduce exposures to possibly harmful indoor air pollutants, including
radon. In addition, EPA will develop and promulgate standards,
regulations and guidelines to reduce exposure from radiation sources.
EPA will continue its domestic and international efforts to limit the
production and use of ozone-depleting substances and develop safe
alternative compounds under the Montreal Protocol. To address global
climate change, EPA will continue to enhance its partnerships with
businesses and other sectors. The programs will reduce greenhouse gas
intensity as well as contribute to cleaner air. The voluntary
government-industry partnership programs are designed to capitalize on
the opportunities that consumers, businesses, and organizations have for
making sound investments in efficient equipment, policies, practices,
and transportation choices.

Clean and Safe Water.--To provide the American public with water
that is clean and safe to drink, EPA will focus on several key
strategies. EPA's strategy for helping systems provide safe drinking
water over the next several years includes developing or revising
drinking water standards, supporting States, Tribes, and water systems
in implementing standards, promoting sustainable management of drinking
water infrastructure, and protecting sources of drinking water from
contamination. To better address the complexity of the remaining water
quality challenges, EPA will promote local watershed approaches to
achieving the best and most cost-effective solutions to local and
regional water problems. To protect and build on the gains of the past,
EPA will focus on its core water programs. To maximize the impact of
each dollar, EPA will continue to strengthen its vital partnerships with
States, Tribes, local governments, and other parties that are also
working toward the common goal of improving the Nation's waters. To
leverage progress through innovation, EPA will promote water quality
trading, water efficiency, and other market based approaches. EPA will
help States implement nationally consistent water quality monitoring
programs which will eventually allow the agency to make a credible
national assessment of water quality. High quality, current monitoring
data is critical for EPA, States, and others to: make watershed-based
decisions; develop necessary water quality standards and total maximum
daily loads (TMDLs); and accurately and consistently portray conditions
and trends.

Land Preservation and Restoration.--To preserve and restore the land
using the most effective waste management and clean-up methods
available, EPA will reduce waste generation and increase recycling by
(1) establishing and expanding partnerships with businesses, industries,
States, communities and consumers; (2) stimulating infrastructure
development, environmentally responsible behavior by product
manufacturers, users and disposers (product stewardship), and new
technologies; and (3) helping businesses, government, institutions and
consumers through education, outreach, training and technical
assistance. The Resource Conservation Challenge (RCC) is the Agency's
primary vehicle for implementing this multi-component strategy for
reducing and recycling waste. The RCC represents a major national effort
to find flexible yet protective ways to conserve our valuable natural
resources by reducing waste, recycling and recovering energy. Through
the RCC, EPA challenges all Americans to make purchasing and disposal
decisions that conserve our natural resources, save energy, reduce
costs, and preserve the envi

ronment for future generations. Through strong policy, leadership,
program administration and a dedicated workforce, EPA's RCRA corrective
action program will merge sound science, cutting-edge technology,
quality environmental information, and stakeholder involvement to
protect the Nation from the harmful effects of contaminated property. To
accomplish its clean-up goals, the agency continues to forge
partnerships and develop outreach and education strategies. EPA's clean-
up programs have set a national goal of returning formerly contaminated
sites to long-term, sustainable and productive use. This goal creates
greater impetus for selecting and implementing remedies that, in
addition to providing clear environmental benefits, will support future
land use and provide greater economic and social benefits.

Healthy Communities and Ecosystems.--To protect, sustain or restore
the health of people, communities and ecosystems, EPA will focus on
geographic areas with human and ecological communities at most risk. EPA
is working to protect, sustain, and restore the health of natural
habitats and ecosystems by identifying and evaluating problem areas,
developing tools, and improving community capacity to address problems.

To ensure that the foods the American public eats will be free from
unsafe levels of pesticide residues, EPA will apply strict health-based
standards to the registration of pesticides for use on food or animal
feed and ensure that older pesticides meet current health standards. EPA
will also work to expedite and increase the registration of safer
pesticides and to decrease the use of pesticides with the highest
potential to cause adverse effects. EPA intends to reduce potential
human and environmental risks from commercial and residential exposure
to pesticides through programs that focus on farmworker protection,
endangered species protection, environmental stewardship, and integrated
pest management.

Through voluntary actions, EPA will seek 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 Agency will also provide for the Federal
administrative expenses of brownfields cleanup activities.

The United States will lead other nations in successful,
multilateral efforts to protect the environment and human health. EPA
will continue to 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 potential environmental risks via
formal and informal agreements. EPA will continue to 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.

The unprecedented changes in information technology over the past
few years, combined with 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).

Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.--EPA will ensure full
compliance with laws intended to protect human health and the
environment. The Agency will use new and innovative approaches for
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.

Preventing pollution at the source is the Agency's preferred
strategy for reducing risk and minimizing environmental impacts. The EPA
works closely with industry to build pollution prevention into the
design of manufacturing processes and products; and also partners with
States, Tribes, and governments at all levels to find simple, voluntary,
and cost-effective pollution prevention solutions. In FY 2005, the
Agency will also implement aspects of the Resource Conservation
Challenge, through its waste minimization partnership program, to reduce
hazardous waste containing priority chemicals.

Enabling and Support Programs.--Enabling and Support Programs (ESPs)
provide centralized management services and support to the Agency's
various environmental programs.

The offices and the functions they perform within the Environmental
Programs and Management appropriation are: the Offices of Administration
and Resources Management (facilities infrastructure and operations,
acquisition management, human resources management services and
management of financial assistance grants/IAGs); Environmental
Information (exchange network, information security, IT/data
management); the Administrator (administrative law, civil rights/Title
VI compliance, congressional, intergovernmental and external relations,
regional science and technology, science advisory board); the Chief
Financial Officer (strategic planning, annual planning and budgeting,
financial services, financial management, analysis, and accountability);
and, General Counsel (alternative dispute resolution, legal advice).
Since these centralized services provide support across the Agency,
resources for the ESPs are allocated across the Agency's appropriations,
goals and objectives via distribution accounts.

This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the
Agency's five goals.

[[Page 942]]

Clean Air and Global Climate Change.--To ensure that every American
community has safe and healthy air to breathe, EPA will provide funds to
States to improve air monitoring networks to obtain better data on
emissions of particular matter, ozone, and for regional haze 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. EPA will also provide funds to
certain States and Tribes for school bus retrofit and replacement.

Clean and Safe Water.--This Agency goal is to ensure people are
provided clean and safe water to drink. In support of this goal, EPA
will provide capitalization grants for Clean Water State Revolving Funds
(SRFs). The SRFs make low interest loans to communities and provide
grants to Tribes and Alaska Native Villages to construct wastewater
treatment infrastructure, in addition to other projects that enhance
water quality. Since 1988, the Federal Government has invested
approximately $20 billion in grants to help capitalize the 51 SRFs. With
the required State match, additional State contributions, and funds from
program leveraging, funds made available for such loans total
approximately $47 billion. EPA's goal is for the clean Water SRFs to
attain an average loan-term revolving level of $3.4 billion annually.

Capitalization grants are also provided for the Drinking Water SRFs,
which make low interest loans to public water systems and grants to
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 an average 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
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.

Land Preservation and Restoration.--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. There will be direct assistance through
media-specific, and multimedia and/or Performance Partnership grants to
enable Tribes to implement hazardous waste programs. To improve the
effectiveness of RCRA State Grants, EPA will work to expand upon the
program's existing performance measures and develop new measures where
necessary.

Healthy Communities and Ecosystems.--This Agency goal is to protect
and restore America's water bodies, reduce exposure to lead, support
brownfields projects, mitigate cross-border risks and provide quality
environmental information.

To protect, sustain or restore the health of people, communities and
ecosystems, EPA will focus on geographic areas with human and ecological
communities at most risk. EPA is working to protect, sustain, and
restore the health of natural habitats and ecosystems by identifying and
evaluating problem areas, developing tools, and improving community
capacity to address problems. EPA will facilitate the ecosystem-scale
protection and restoration of natural areas by supporting continuing
efforts of all 28 National Estuary Program estuaries to implement their
Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans (CCMPs) to protect and
restore estuarine resources. EPA will work with its State and Tribal
partners to develop and implement broad-based and integrated monitoring
and assessment programs that strengthen their water quality standards,
improve decision-making, target restoration within the watershed,
address significant stressors, and report on condition. EPA will work to
achieve national gains in wetlands acreage by implementing an innovative
partner-based wetlands and stream corridor restoration program.

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 6,000. 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 2005, a cumulative 1.5
million 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.

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.

In 2005, EPA will also implement a new $23 million State and Tribal
performance fund. This fund will competitively award grants to States
and Tribes for projects that can demonstrate public health and/or
environmental benefit. States and Tribes can use these funds for
activities such as wetlands restoration, air quality assessments, and
hazardous waste management.

Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.--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. EPA also plans to
offer media-specific and multimedia, and/or Performance Partnership
grants to States and Tribes, focusing on pollution prevention.

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 up to $1,381,416,000 in 2005.

Environmental Services

Beginning in fiscal year 2005 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 the
Environmental Services special fund in the U.S. Treasury and will
thereafter be available, subject to appropriation, to carry out the
Agency's activities for which such fees are collected. For fiscal year
2005 and thereafter, fees collected for the registration of pesticides
under 31 U.S.C. 9701 shall be deposited in the Environmental Services
special fund and thereafter will be available, subject to appropriation,
to carry out agency activities.

A special fund was established for the deposit of fee receipts
associated with environmental programs. Motor vehicle engine
certification 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. 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 would generate $4 million in receipts in 2005 that would be
discretionary under the Budget Enforcement Act. Appropriations language
is also being proposed to allow receipts from the pesticide Registration
fee to be deposited in this fund.

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 2005
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 five goals. Specifically in 2005, emphasis will be
placed on the following:

Land Preservation and Restoration.--EPA expects to complete cleanups
at 40 sites and conduct 350 removal actions. EPA will initiate remedial
action at 10 to 15 additional sites with expanded resources to regions.
Through 2003, cleanups had been completed at 886 sites, and 7,499
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 strengthen the
Regional Response Teams and On-Scene Coordinators, and improve the
Environmental Response Team readiness level by 10 percent annually.
EPA's National Decontamination Team will be fully operational in 2005.
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. Other proposed work will
enhance and accelerate current contaminated sediments research efforts.
EPA will also work to maximize

[[Page 947]]

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.

Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.--EPA will investigate and
refer for prosecution criminal and civil violations of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980
(CERCLA).

Enabling and Support Programs.--Enabling and Support Programs (ESPs)
provide centralized management services and support to the Agency's
various environmental programs.

The offices and the functions they perform within the Superfund
appropriation are: the Offices of Administration and Resources
Management (facilities infrastructure and operations, acquisition
management, human resources management services and management of
financial assistance grants/IAGs); Environmental Information (exchange
network, information security, IT/data management); and, the Chief
Financial Officer (strategic planning, annual planning and budgeting,
financial services, financial management, analysis, and accountability).
Since these centralized services provide support across the Agency,
resources for the ESPs are allocated across the Agency's appropriations,
goals and objectives via distribution accounts.

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 per gallon tax on
motor fuels, that will expire after March 31, 2005. Legislation will be
proposed to reauthorize the tax.

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 five goals. Specifically in 2005, emphasis will be placed on
the following:

Land Preservation & Restoration.--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 prevent, detect and correct leaks from federally-regulated
underground storage tanks, ensuring compliance with both release
detection and prevention requirements. In 2005, priorities include
accelerating clean-ups, addressing contamination from oxygenates and
promoting continued use, revitalization and long-term management of LUST
sites. These programs will help to reduce the backlog of Underground
Storage Tank (UST) sites with confirmed releases waiting to be
addressed.

Enabling and Support Programs.--Enabling and Support Programs (ESPs)
provide the infrastructure of people, facilities and systems necessary
to operate the programs funded by the Leaking Underground Storage Tank
appropriation. The offices and the functions they perform are:
Administration and Resources Management (facilities instrastructure and
operations, acquisition management, and human resources management
services); Environmental Information (IT/data management); and, the
Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning, annual planning and
budgeting, financial services, financial management, analysis, and
accountability).
