Weapons activities provides for the maintenance and refurbishment of
nuclear weapons to sustain confidence in their safety, reliability, and
performance; expansion of scientific, engineering, and manufacturing
capabilities to enable certification of the enduring nuclear weapons
stockpile; and manufacture of nuclear weapon components under a
comprehensive test ban. Weapons activities also provide for continued
maintenance and investment in the Department's enterprise of nuclear
stewardship, including maintaining the capability to return to the
design and production of new weapons and to underground nuclear testing,
if so directed by the President. The major elements of the program
include the following:

Directed stockpile work.--Encompasses all activities that directly
support specific weapons in the stockpile. These activities include
maintenance and day-to-day care; planned refurbishment; reliability
assessments; weapon dismantlement and disposal; and research,
development, and certification technology efforts to meet future
stockpile requirements.

Campaigns.--Focuses on scientific, technical and engineering efforts
to develop and maintain critical capabilities and

[[Page 383]]

tools needed to support stockpile refurbishment and continued assessment
and certification of the stockpile for the long term in the absence of
underground nuclear testing.

Readiness in technical base and facilities (RTBF).--Provides the
underlying physical infrastructure and operational readiness for the
Directed Stockpile Work and Campaign activities. These activities
include ensuring that facilities are operational, safe, secure, and
compliant with regulatory requirements, and that a defined level of
readiness is sustained at facilities funded by the Office of Defense
Programs.

Secure transportation asset.--Provides for the safe, secure movement
of nuclear weapons, special nuclear material, and weapon components
between military locations and nuclear complex facilities within the
United States. Includes Program Direction funding for couriers.

Nuclear Weapons Incident Response (NWIR).--Previously funded under
RTBF, NWIR administers and directs the emergency response programs that
provide the capability to respond and mitigate a nuclear or radiological
incident or emergency within the U.S. and abroad.

Facilities and infrastructure recapitalization.--Focuses on a multi-
year effort to restore physical infrastructure of the weapons complex.
This activity provides funds to accomplish deferred maintenance and
utilities replacement while improving facility management practices to
preclude further deterioration.

Safeguards and Security.--Provides for all safeguard and security
requirements (except for personnel security investigations) at NNSA
landlord sites, specifically the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory,
Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, the Nevada
Test Site, Kansas City Plant, Pantex Plant, Y-12 National Security
Complex, and the Savannah River Site Tritium Facilities.

The mission of this program is to (1) prevent the spread of
materials, technology, and expertise relating to weapons of mass
destruction; (2) detect the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
worldwide; (3) provide for international nuclear safety, and (4)
eliminate inventories of surplus fissile materials usable for nuclear
weapons. The program addresses the danger that hostile nations or
terrorist groups may acquire weapons of mass destruction or weapons-
usable material, dual-use production technology or weapons of mass
destruction expertise. In FY 2005, work will be done in the following
major areas.

Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development will
conduct applied research, development, testing, and evaluation leading
to prototype demonstrations and detection systems that strengthen the
U.S. response to current and projected threats to national security and
world peace posed

[[Page 384]]

by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and diversion of special
nuclear material. The program works directly with agencies responsible
for monitoring proliferation and foreign nuclear testing.

Nonproliferation and International Security efforts will control
export of items and technology useful for weapons of mass destruction
(WMD); implement international safeguards in conjunction with the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); monitor and implement
treaties and agreements; develop and implement policy in support of an
international nonproliferation regime; develop and implement
transparency measures to assure that international nonproliferation
agreements are complied with and that nuclear materials are secure;
develop capabilities and administer programs to implement the U.S.
highly enriched uranium (HEU) minimization policy; develop and implement
innovative approaches to improve regional security, and conduct
international emergency management and cooperation activities.

International Nuclear Materials Protection and Cooperation will
continue to improve the security of nuclear material and nuclear
warheads in Russia by installing basic rapid upgrades and thorough
comprehensive upgrades. Reducing the potential for diversion of nuclear
warheads and nuclear materials has been a critical priority for the
United States. Russia and the United States have expanded cooperation in
this area significantly to include Strategic Rocket Forces sites
containing materials which could be used in radiological dispersal
devices. Efforts in Radiological Threat Reduction will continue in
Russia and expand worldwide to reduce the risk to the security of the
United States of malevolent use of high-risk radiological sources. The
United States will continue through its Container Security Initiative
and the Second Line of Defense Program to partner with countries and
screen containerized cargo destined for the United States at Mega-
Seaports for nuclear and radioactive materials.

Russian Transition Initiatives encompasses the efforts of the
Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (IPP) and the Nuclear Cities
Initiative (NCI) programs to reduce the risk of adverse migration of
former Soviet nuclear and other WMD expertise, and to work with the
Russians in downsizing their nuclear weapons complex.

HEU Transparency Implementation will continue to work with Russia to
provide confidence to the U.S. that the Russian highly enriched uranium
(HEU) being converted is from its military stockpile. The 1993 U.S.-
Russia HEU Purchase Agreement, which provides for Russian HEU to be down
blended to non-weapons form and used to fuel reactors here in the United
States, remains an extremely impressive nonproliferation achievement.

International Nuclear Safety strengthens national security by
helping to prevent nuclear incidents and accidents at foreign nuclear
facilities and, to mitigate the consequences of accidents should they
occur. In FY 2003 the program completed the Soviet-designed reactor
safety program in Russia, which increased the operating safety of
Soviet-designed nuclear power reactors and enhanced the resident safety
culture. Soviet-designed reactor safety activities outside Russia will
continue with appropriations transferred from the Department of State.

Elimination of Weapons-Grade Plutonium Production enhances nuclear
nonproliferation by assisting the Russian Federation in ceasing its
production of weapons-grade plutonium production by providing
replacement power production capacity. This will result in the shutdown
of the world's last three plutonium producing reactors, and eliminate
the production of 1.2 metric tons of plutonium per year. The FY 2005
funding will enable NNSA to maintain a schedule that allows completion
of the Seversk project in 2008.

Fissile Materials Disposition conducts activities in both the United
States and Russia to dispose of fissile materials that would pose a
threat to the United States if acquired by hostile nations or terrorist
groups. In FY 2005, it will continue transferring surplus HEU from the
Y-12 Plant to the United States Enrichment Corporation; continue
deliveries of off-specification HEU and low enriched uranium to TVA;
complete Title II design of the Pit Disassembly and Conversion Facility
and award the contract for site preparation; begin site preparation and
construction of the U.S. mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility and
purchase long lead equipment; and begin site preparation and
construction of the Russian MOX facility and complete Russianization of
the U.S. MOX facility design.

Off Site Source Recovery Program, transferred from the Defense and
NonDefense Environmental Services appropriations, will continue to
identify, recover and store on an interim-basis certain domestic
radioactive sealed sources as well as other radiological materials that
pose a security risk to the United States.

Security.--The Security function is part of the Office of Security
and Safety Performance Assurance and consists of the following programs:
Nuclear Safeguards and Security, Security Investigations and Program
Direction. Key mission areas are: physical, information and personnel
security; technology evaluation; materials control and accountability;
executive protection police force; protective measures for DOE
facilities and protection of its employees in the National Capital area;
declassification/classification; foreign visits, assignments and travel;
plutonium, uranium, and special nuclear material inventory; management
of the Department's Emergency Operations Centers, Emergency
Communications Network and the Continuity of Operations and Continuity
of Government programs. These programs provide policy for the protection
of the Department's nuclear weapons, nuclear materials, classified
information, and facilities. They ensure a Department-wide capability to
continue essential functions across a wide range of potential
emergencies, allowing DOE to uphold its national security
responsibilities. Security investigations provide security clearances
for Federal and contractor personnel.

Energy Security and Assurance.--This program supports the national
security of the United States by working to protect the Nation against
significant energy supply disruptions. America's energy supply is
essential to a strong economy and national security.

Environment, safety and health (Defense).--The Office of
Environment, Safety and Health is a corporate resource that provides
Departmental leadership and management to protect the workers, public,
and environment. The programs in the other defense activities are
oversight, health studies, and employee compensation support as well as
program direction.

Independent oversight and performance assurance.--This activity is
part of the Office of Security and Safety Performance Assurance and
provides an independent assessment of the effectiveness of Departmental
policies and site performance in the areas of environment, safety,
health safeguards, security, emergency management, cyber security, and
other critical functions. Appraisals are performed to determine whether
site programs are effectively implemented and achieving Department-wide
and site-specific objectives.

All other.--Obligations are included for the Defense Related
Administrative Support and the Office of Hearings and Appeals.
Responsibilities of the Office of Hearings and Appeals include
adjudications of matters involving DOE and contractor employees'
eligibility for security clearances, and appeals of adverse
determinations under the Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts. The
Office of Hearings and Appeals adjudicates complaints of reprisals by
contractor employees for ``whistleblowing'', and is the appeal authority
in many other areas. The Office of Hearings and Appeals is charged with
the responsibility to decide worker advocacy appeals under the Energy
Employee Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000. The
Office also decides all requests for exception from DOE orders, rules
and regulations.

[[Page 388]]

Office of Legacy Management (Defense).--The programs within this
office support long-term stewardship activities at sites where active
remediation as a result of weapons production has been completed. These
activities include ground-water monitoring, administration of post
closure contractor liabilities, records management, and disposition of
assets excess to current Department needs.

Office of Future Liabilities (Defense).--This new program funds and
manages defense-related environmental liabilities that are outside the
cleanup and closure mission of the Environmental Management program.
These liabilities include decontamination and decommissioning of excess
facilities, cleanup of contaminated media, and disposition of excess
nuclear materials, which will continue to be generated by sites with
active missions. The Office of Future Liabilities will work
cooperatively with the Offices of Environmental Management and Legacy
Management to accomplish its mission.

Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management.--The program will
be responsible for the management and implementation of the Department's
National Spent Fuel Program, which coordinates and resolves issues
regarding the characterization, safe storage, transportation, and proper
final disposition of all Departmental spent nuclear fuel. In addition,
the program will be responsible for management of the Foreign Research
Reactor Spent Fuel Acceptance Program, including the planning and
coordination of the receipt and transportation of spent nuclear fuel
from the foreign reactors to the designated Departmental site as well as
maintenance and operations of the Idaho Chemical Process Plant-666 and
for the storage of all spent fuel located within this facility.

This appropriation was established by Congress as part of the 1993
Energy and Water Development Appropriation (P.L. 102-377) in lieu of
payment from the Department of Energy into the Nuclear Waste Fund for
activities related to the disposal of defense high-level waste.

The program's cost estimates reflect DOE's best projections, given
the scope of work identified and planned schedule of required
activities. Future budget requests for the Program have yet to be
established and will be determined through the annual executive and
congressional budget process.

Since passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended,
the Nuclear Waste Fund has incurred costs for activities related to
disposal of high-level waste generated from the atomic energy defense
activities of the Department of Energy. At the end of 2003 the balance
owed by the Federal Government to the Nuclear Waste Fund was
approximately $1,056 million (including principal and interest). The
``Defense Nuclear Waste Disposal'' appropriation was established to
ensure payment of the Federal Government's contribution to the nuclear
waste repository program. Through 2003, a total of approximately $2,056
million has been appropriated to support nuclear waste repository
activities attributed to atomic energy defense activities.

High energy physics.--This research program focuses on gaining
insights into the fundamental constituents of matter, the fundamental
forces in nature, and the transformations between matter and energy at
the most elementary level. The program encompasses both experimental and
theoretical particle physics research and related advanced accelerator
and detector technology R&D. The primary mode of experimental research
involves the study of collisions of energetic particles using large
particle accelerators or colliding beam facilities.

In addition to contributing to breakthrough discoveries such as the
existence of the top quark, state-of-the-art technology developed for
accelerators and detectors contributes to progress in fields such as
fast electronics, high-speed computing, superconducting magnet
technology, and high-power radio frequency devices. High energy physics
research also continues to make major contributions to accelerator
technology and provides the expertise necessary for the expansion of
such technology into fields such as medical diagnostics and research
using synchrotron light sources.

The high energy physics budget request will support the continued
operation of two of the Department's major high energy physics
facilities: the Fermilab Tevatron and the Stanford B-Factory. In
addition, $32.5 million is provided for the Department's contribution to
continued U.S. participation in the Large Hadron Collider project at the
European Center for Nuclear Research.

The high energy physics R&D request provides funding for advanced
accelerator and detector R&D that is necessary for next-generation high
energy particle accelerators. The request includes $0.8 million for
completion of the neutrinos at the main injector construction project.
In addition, a major item of equipment is initiated for the B-particle
physics at the Tevatron experiment, or BTeV.

Nuclear Physics.--The goal of the nuclear physics program is to
understand the interactions and structure of atomic nuclei and to
investigate fundamental particles and forces of nature as manifested in
nuclear matter. The program will continue to focus on the role of quarks
in the composition and interactions of nuclei, the application of
nuclear physics methods to astrophysical problems, the properties of
neutrinos, and the mechanisms by which colliding nuclei exchange mass,
energy, and angular momentum.

The nuclear physics program supports and provides experimental
equipment to qualified scientists and research groups conducting
experiments at nuclear physics accelerator facilities. These facilities
provide new insights and advance our knowledge of the nature of matter
and energy and develop the scientific knowledge, technologies and
trained manpower needed to underpin the DOE's missions for nuclear
related national security, energy, and environmental quality.

The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility/Continuous
Electron Beam Accelerator Facility experimental program began in 1996
and will continue. At the MIT/Bates accelerator, a program of research
utilizing the BLAST large acceptance detector will be phased out.
Experimental operations at the Radioactive Ion Beam facility in Oak
Ridge National Laboratory will continue. Operation of ATLAS (ANL) will
be supported, as will the operation of the university-based accelerator
laboratories. The 88-inch cyclotron (LBNL) will be terminated as a
Science User Facility in 2004.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) research program will
continue as RHIC and its four major detectors approach their full design
potential, allowing researchers to explore a new regime of nuclear
matter and nuclear interactions that up to now have only been
characterized theoretically. Research and development for a possible
future facility, the rare isotope accelerator, continues.

Biological and environmental research.--This program develops the
knowledge base necessary to identify, understand, and anticipate the
long-term health and environmental consequences of energy use and
development and utilizes the Department's unique scientific and
technological capabilities to solve major scientific problems in the
environment, medicine, and biology. Planned activities include programs
in global climate change; terrestrial, atmospheric and marine
environmental processes; molecular, cellular and systemic studies on the
biological effects of radiation; structural biology; med

[[Page 390]]

ical applications of nuclear technology; and the Human Genome Program.
Funding for the Human Genome program is provided to understand the genes
identified in the Human Genome Project and to meet growing demand for
sequencing in the broader scientific community. The program also
supports science related to carbon sequestration and sequencing of
genomes of microbes that use carbon dioxide to produce methane and
hydrogen. In conjunction with the advanced scientific computing research
program, a global systems application is continued to accelerate
progress in coupled general circulation model development through use of
enhanced computer simulation and modeling. The Genomics: GTL activity,
aimed at understanding the composition and function of biochemical
networks that carry out essential processes of living organisms, is
funded at $67.5 million. In addition, project engineering design is
begun for a GTL Protein Production and Tags facility.

Basic Energy Sciences.--The basic energy sciences (BES) program
funds basic research in the physical, biological and engineering
sciences that supports the Department's nuclear and non-nuclear
technology programs. The BES program supports a substantial basic
research budget for materials sciences, chemical sciences, energy
biosciences, engineering and geosciences. The program supports a number
of research areas that are unique within the Federal Government: in many
basic research areas, such as materials science, funding provided by the
BES program represents a large percentage, or even the sole source, of
Federal funding. The request includes $29.2 million for hydrogen and
fuel cell research as part of the President's Hydrogen Initiative.

The BES program also operates large national user research
facilities, including synchrotron light and neutron sources, a
combustion research facility, and smaller user facilities such as
materials preparation and electron microscopy centers.

The BES budget request includes continued support to maintain
utilization of the Department's large state-of-the-art national user
facilities. The proposed funding will maintain the quality of service
and availability of facility resources to users, including university
and government scientists, as well as private companies who rely on
unique BES facilities for their basic research needs. Research areas
that will benefit from the facilities funding include structural
biology, materials science, superconductor technology, and medical
research and technology development.

In addition, the BES request includes $113.6 million to continue
construction at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the Spallation Neutron
Source (SNS) to meet the Nation's neutron scattering needs. The request
includes $7.6 million to continue design and fabrication of additional
instruments beyond the initial instrument suite included in the
construction project. The SNS will provide significant scientific,
technical, and economic benefits that derive from neutron scattering and
materials irradiation research. Reflecting the high priority given to
nanoscale research, basic energy sciences funding for the multi-agency
national nanotechnology program is $208.6 million and includes project
engineering and design funding for the nanoscale science research center
(NSRC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory and construction funding for
NSRC's at the Lawrence Berkeley, Brookhaven, Oak Ridge, and Sandia
National Laboratories. Equipment is funded for the NSRC at Argonne
National Laboratory, where the State of Illinois is providing funding
for the building. The request also includes $30.0 million to initiate
long lead procurement activities for the Linac Coherent Light Source at
the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.

Fusion Energy Sciences.--The fusion energy sciences program
continues to implement the recommendations of the reports by the
National Research Council, the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board and
recommendations of the Fusion Energy Science Advisory committee. The
mission of the program is to advance plasma science, fusion science, and
fusion technology. The program emphasizes the underlying basic research
in plasma and fusion sciences, with the long-term goal of harnessing
fusion as a viable energy source. The program centers on the following
goals: understanding the physics of plasmas; identification and
exploration of innovative and cost effective development paths to fusion
energy; and exploration of the science and technology of energy
producing plasmas, as a partner in an international effort.

The budget includes $38.0 million for the Department to prepare for
participation in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
(ITER) program, a burning plasma physics experiment that is an essential
next step toward eventually developing fusion as a commercially viable
energy source.

The budget request provides for support of basic research in plasma
science in partnership with NSF, plasma containment research, and
investigation of tokamak alternatives, along with continued operation of
DIII-D, Alcator C-Mod, and the National Spherical Torus Experiment to
develop a fuller understanding of the physics of magnetically confined
plasma and to identify approaches that may improve the economical and
environmental attractiveness of fusion. Fabrication of the new National
Compact Stellarator experiment will continue at Princeton Plasma Physics
Laboratory. The inertial fusion energy activity will be refocused around
the scientific goals of high energy density plasma physics. Theory and
modeling efforts will be supported to develop a predictive capability
for the operation of fusion experiments. Enabling technology research
will also be conducted in support of the science experiments.

Science laboratories infrastructure.--The goal of the science
laboratories infrastructure program is to provide funds for
rehabilitating, replacing or demolishing deficient common-use utilities,
roads, and buildings and to correct environment, safety, and health
deficiencies at the civilian science laboratories. The excess facilities
disposal subprogram and the Oak Ridge Landlord activity are also funded
here.

Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR).--This program
includes research in mathematical, information, and computational
sciences. The purpose of the ASCR program is to support advanced
computational research--applied mathematics, computer science, and
networking--to enable the analysis, simulation and prediction of complex
physical phenomena. The program also supports the operation of large
supercomputer user facilities. The request includes research, integrated
with other science programs, on application of computer simulation and
modeling to science problems. The budget includes research funds to
identify and address major architectural bottlenecks affecting the
performance of existing and planned scientific applications for the next
generation of high-end supercomputers.

Safeguards and security.--The mission of this program is to ensure
appropriate levels of protection and provide against: unauthorized
access, theft, diversion, loss of custody, or destruction of Department
of Energy assets and hostile acts that may cause adverse impacts on
fundamental science, or the health and safety of DOE and contractor
employees, the public, or the environment. The request provides funding
for physical protection, protective forces, physical security,
protective systems, information security, cyber security, personnel
security, materials control and accountability, and program management
activities.

Workforce development for teachers and scientists.--The mission of
this program is to train young scientists, engineers,

[[Page 391]]

and technicians in the scientifically and technically advanced
environment of the Office of Science national laboratories to meet the
demand for a well-trained scientific and technical workforce, including
the teachers that educate the workforce.

Hydrogen Fuel Initiative, this program develops a hydrogen
production, storage, and delivery technologies that are more energy
efficient, cleaner, safer, and lower in cost. The long-term aim is
to develop hydrogen technology that will allow the Nation to
aggressively move forward to achieving a vision of a cleaner, more
secure energy future. Current research on hydrogen production,
storage, and delivery will facilitate a decision by industry to
commercialize hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles by 2015.
Solar Energy: Develop lower cost, higher performance, more
reliable solar energy systems for the production of electricity,
space heat and hot water. Activities include more efficient
photovoltaic (PV) materials and cell devices, lower-cost thin-film
PV technologies, improved manufacturing and large-area processing,
and more reliable PV modules and systems as part of an industry-led
research effort. Concentrating solar power activities are focused on
lowering the cost of centrally-produced electricity from solar
energy. Solar heating activities are focused on cooperative industry
efforts to reduce costs and effectively use advance solar technology
for water heating and space heat.
Wind Energy: Develop low wind-speed technology in partnership
with industry to allow wind power to be cost-competitive in more
prevalent, lower-wind speed resource areas, and support activities
to reduce electric grid integration and technology acceptance
barriers to wind energy use.
Hydropower: Continue development of turbine systems to address
the primary environmental issues associated with licensing and
conduct research and development to increase hydropower production
at existing facilities.
Geothermal Technology: Continue development of enhanced
geothermal systems that will allow the broader use of geothermal
energy throughout the western United States. Conduct cooperative
research with industry, universities, and other government agencies
to reduce the cost of geothermal development and to identify new
resources.
Biomass and Biorefinery Systems: Conduct research, development,
and technology validation on advanced technologies that will enable
future biorefineries to sustainably convert cellulosic biomass to
fuels, chemicals, heat and power.
Intergovernmental Activities: The Tribal Energy program helps
Native Americans develop renewable energy resources on their lands
and helps Tribal leaders develop energy plans. The International
Renewable Energy program promotes the use of renewable energy
resources in international markets.
Departmental Energy Management Program: Continue to fund,
through internal competition, the most cost effective opportunities
to improve energy efficiency in DOE's facilities, employing
renewable technologies as appropriate.
National Climate Change Technology Initiative Competitive
Solicitation Program: Supports competitive solicitations to promote
applied research that has as its primary goal the reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions or the sequestration of greenhouse gases.
Competitive awards will be made based on maximum emissions reduction
potential per dollar spent. The Competitive Solicitation Program is
a key component of the President's National Climate Change
Technology Initiative and is intended to complement and enrich the
existing research and development portfolio of climate-related
technologies, which may help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but
are not necessarily designed to do so.
Facilities and Infrastructure.--The budget includes $6.9 million
for construction of the Science and Technology Facility (S&TF) at
the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, in addition to $4.8
million for general plant projects and general purpose equipment.
The S&TF will allow the photovoltaics, hydrogen, and other programs
to address complex materials problems common to thin-film and
nanostructure energy technologies, and will relieve overcrowding in
the current Solar Energy Research Facility. Final design of the
facility was completed in 2003, and all findings identified by the
External Independent Review were appropriately addressed.

Electric Transmission and Distribution.--The mission of the newly
created Office of Electric Transmission and Distribution (OETD) is to
lead a national effort to modernize and expand America's electricity
delivery system to ensure a more reliable and robust electricity supply,
as well as economic and national security, and reduce the likelihood and
impact of reliability events, including blackouts. This effort is
accomplished through research, development, demonstration, technology
transfer, and education and outreach activities in partnership with
industries, businesses, utilities, States, and other Federal programs
and agencies, universities, national laboratories, and other
stakeholders.

Nuclear Energy.--The 2005 Budget continues to support the Nuclear
Energy Technologies program that includes the Nuclear Power 2010 program
which supports demonstration of key regulatory approval processes in
order to encourage the deployment of new, advanced nuclear plants in the
United States in the 2010 timeframe. The budget continues to support the
Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems Initiative, where the United States
will participate in multi-nation research and development projects in
support of next-generation nuclear reactors and fuel cycles. In
collaboration with the Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems program, the
Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative aims to develop technologies that will
reduce the volume of high level waste from spent nuclear fuel, reduce
the long-term radiotoxicity of spent nuclear fuel, reduce the long-term
proliferation threat posed by civilian inventories of plutonium in spent
fuel, and recover the energy content in spent nuclear fuel in a
proliferation-resistant manner. The Department continues to support the
University program, preserving the education and training infrastructure
needed to develop the next generation of nuclear scientists and
engineers.

Nuclear Energy programs support the Department's critical
infrastructure necessary to enable research on advanced nuclear power
systems for U.S. national security and other fed

[[Page 393]]

eral agencies, to support the production of radioisotopes for medical
and other research purposes, and to maintain and operate the
Department's nuclear facilities, including the Advanced Test Reactor and
hot cells, in a safe, environmentally compliant and cost-effective
manner. The Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology's budget
also includes funding for Idaho sitewide operations and safeguards and
security programs, as part of the Lead Program Secretarial Office
responsibilities for Idaho that were transitioned in FY 2004 from the
Office of Environmental Management.

Environment, safety and health.--The Office of Environment, Safety
and Health is a corporate resource that fosters protection of workers,
the public, and the environment. The office develops and improves
policies; monitors environment, safety, and health performance; and
provides guidance, resources, and information sharing.

Note that the budget request for the Office of Environment, Safety
and Health programs is contained in two accounts: Energy Supply and
Other Defense Activities. The funding in this account supports policy,
standards and guidance and DOE-wide ES&H programs as well as program
direction.

Office of Legacy Management (Non-defense).--This program supports
non-defense related long-term stewardship activities at sites where
active remediation has been completed. These activities include ground
water monitoring, administration of post-closure contractor liabilities,
records management, and disposition of assets excess to current
Department needs.

Office of Future Liabilities (Non-defense).--This new program funds
and manages environmental liabilities that are outside the cleanup and
closure mission of the Environmental Management program. These
liabilities include disposition of excess nuclear materials, including
planning for the disposition of ``Greater-Than-Class-C'' waste from
civilian sources. The Office of Future Liabilities will work
cooperatively with the Offices of Environmental Management and Legacy
Management to accomplish its mission.

Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management.--This office has
responsibility for the management of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) licensed Fort St. Vrain Independent Spent Fuel Storage
Installation located in Colorado, and the NRC licensed Three Mile Island
fuel located at the Idaho Nuclear Technology Engineering Center. The
program is responsible for meeting the NRC license conditions during
storage, for ensuring these fuels are analyzed within repository
performance criteria, and for the eventual transportation to and
emplacement at Yucca Mountain.

systems, which includes the technologies for advanced coal-fueled power
systems, and innovations for existing plants (2) Sequestration R&D,
which focuses on greenhouse gas capture and reduction and (3) Advanced
research, which through early concept research, bridges fundamental
research and engineering development. The Department will continue to
increase involvement of the private sector and academia to help conduct
and direct research toward the most critical bafflers to expansion of
coal use for power generation in the United States.

Other Power Systems.--Other Power Systems focuses on novel power
generation systems, distributed power generation systems including fuel
cell technology, and supporting technology for all power systems.

Oil and Gas.--The Oil and Gas programs will focus on supporting the
President's initiatives on Clear Skies, Climate Change, and Energy
Security. Activities include technology and analytical investments that
support the Administration's objectives to increase domestic production,
protect the environment, and build global alliances.

Program Direction and Management Support.--The program provides the
funding for all headquarters and indirect field personnel and overhead
expenses in Fossil Energy and Clean Coal Technology. In addition, it
provides support for day-to-day project management functions.

Environmental restoration.--The Department of Energy is managing the
environmental cleanup of former and present Fossil Energy project sites.
Activities include environmental protection, onsite cleanup, and cleanup
at several former offsite research and development locations in Wyoming
and Connecticut and environmental efforts at the National Energy
Technology Laboratory Morgantown and Pittsburgh sites, and the Albany
Research Center.

Import/Export Authorization.--This program will continue regulatory
reviews and oversight of the transmission of natural gas across the U.S.
borders. Regulatory reviews and oversight of the transmission of
electricity across the U.S. borders is transferred to the Office of
Electric Transmission and Distribution.

The Administration's energy efficiency programs have the potential
to produce substantial benefits for the Nation--both now and in the
future--in terms of economic growth, increased energy security and a
cleaner environment through the research and development of energy
efficiency and pollution prevention technologies. These programs carry
out the Department's responsibility under the Energy Policy Act of 1992
and other authorizing legislation.

The 2005 Budget continues the Hydrogen Fuel Initiative to accelerate
the worldwide availability and affordability of hydrogen-powered fuel
cell vehicles. The initiative is a partnership with energy companies
focused on research to advance hydrogen production, storage, and
infrastructure. It complements the FreedomCAR partnership with the auto
industry which is aimed at developing viable hydrogen fuel cell vehicle
technology.

Vehicle Technologies.--This program supports the FreedomCAR and 21st
Century Truck partnerships with industry. Program activities encompass a
suite of technologies, including lightweight materials, electronic power
control, high power storage, and hybrid electric drive motors. This
program also supports research to improve the efficiency of advanced
combustion engines, using fuels with formulations developed for such
engines, and incorporating non-petroleum based components.

Fuel Cell Technologies.--This program supports both the Hydrogen
Fuel Initiative and the FreedomCAR partnership. The program develops
fuel cell technologies for transportation and stationary applications
that are more efficient, reliable, durable and lower in cost. The long-
term aim is to develop advanced fuel cell technology that will allow the
Nation to aggressively move forward to achieving a vision of a cleaner,
more secure energy future. The current fuel cell research efforts will
help facilitate a decision by energy to commercialize hydrogen-powered
fuel cell vehicles in the year 2015.

Weatherization and Intergovernmental.--The Weatherization and
Intergovernmental program funds activities that facilitate the movement
of energy efficient and renewable energy products into the marketplace.
Conservation grant programs.--The Weatherization Assistance
Program improves the energy efficiency of low-income homes by
providing technical assistance and formula grants to State and local
weatherization agencies. The State Energy Program provides financial
assistance to States through formula grants, enabling states to
individually tailor energy efficiency projects to local needs.
Gateway Deployment.--This is an integrated activity designed to
provide technical and financial assistance to States and communities
through activities such as Rebuild America, Energy Efficiency
Information and Outreach, Building Codes Training and Assistance,
Clean Cities, Energy Star, and Inventions and Innovations.

Distributed Energy Resources.--This program funds research and
development to transform the current, electrical generation sector to a
smarter, more flexible and more efficient energy system through the
development and integration of distributed generation and combined heat
and power technologies.

Building Technologies.--In partnership with the buildings industry,
the program develops, promotes, and integrates energy technologies and
practices to make buildings more efficient and affordable. The Building
Technologies program accelerates the availability of highly efficient
buildings technologies and practices through research and development;
increases the minimum efficiency of buildings and equipment through
building codes, appliance standards, and guidelines; and encourages the
use of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies and practices
in residential and commercial buildings.

Industrial Technologies.--The program focuses on funding cost-shared
research in critical technology areas identified by industry. The
Industries of the Future (Specific) program encourages the most energy-
intensive industries to develop a strategic vision and a ``technology
roadmap'' to help achieve that vision. The Industries of the Future
(Crosscutting) program develops technologies that are useful to multiple
industries simultaneously, such as sensors and controls and advanced
industrial materials, which address a multitude of wear and corrosion
problems.

Biomass and Biorefinery Systems R&D.--The program focuses on
reducing processing energy requirements and production costs in biomass
processing plants and future integrated industrial biorefineries.

Federal Energy Management Program.--This program reduces the cost
and environmental impact of the Federal government by advancing energy
efficiency and water conservation, promoting the use of renewable
energy, and managing utility costs in Federal facilities and operations.

The object of this program is to reduce the vulnerability of the
United States to energy supply disruptions by maintaining a crude oil
stockpile capable of rapid deployment at the direction of the President.
This program enables the President to meet the Nation's membership
commitments within the International Energy Agency's coordinated energy
emergency response plans and programs to deter the use of energy supply
disruptions and to take effective, co-ordinated action should such an
energy supply disruption occur.

The account provides for ongoing storage site operations and
maintenance activities, planning activities, drawdown testing/readiness
of the Reserve, planning studies, and program administration. Continuous
removal of excess gas from the SPR crude oil inventory will commence in
May 2004.

The key measure of program performance is expressed as capability to
comply with Level 1 Technical and Performance Criteria. These criteria
are specific engineered performance and reliability standards applied to
critical inventory storage, drawdown, and distribution systems required
for drawing down and distributing crude oil inventory.

This account provides for the acquisition, transportation, and
injection of petroleum into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This
account funds all Strategic Petroleum Reserve petroleum inventory
acquisitions, associated transportation costs, U.S. Customs duties,
terminal throughput charges, incremental drawdown costs, and other
related miscellaneous costs. The Department was directed to fill the
Reserve, principally using royalty oil from federal offshore leases.
Fill operations commenced April 2002 with completion planned in 2005.
Filling the SPR addresses the President's initiative to enhance the
energy security of the United States by strengthening the nation's
capability to respond to potential oil supply disruptions. The Petroleum
Account received $1,955,000 in 2003 for transportation related to
Royalty Oil. Funding was not requested in the 2004 or 2005 budgets for
Royalty Oil due to a contractual change making transportation charges
for Royalty-In-Kind fill the responsibility of the contractors. The
Petroleum Account also funds drawdown and sales operations of the
Reserve. To provide additional authority in the event of a drawdown, the
FY 2000 Interior Appropriations Act included language providing ``that
the Secretary of Energy hereafter may transfer to the SPR Petroleum
Account such funds as may be necessary to carry out drawdown and sale
operations of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve . . .''

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulates key
interstate aspects of the electric power, natural gas, oil pipeline, and
hydropower industries. The Commission chooses regulatory approaches that
foster competitive markets whenever possible, assures access to reliable
service at a reasonable price, and gives full and fair consideration to
environmental and community impacts in assessing the public interest of
energy projects. Regulated businesses pay fees and charges sufficient to
recover the Government's full costs of operations.

Energy Infrastructure.--The Commission must promote a secure, high
quality and environmentally responsible infrastructure through
consistent policies to meet market and operational demands. The
Commission determines just and reasonable rates for the interstate
transportation of natural gas and oil on the pipelines subject to the
Commission's jurisdiction and sets rates for the interstate transmission
and wholesale sales of electric energy. It approves rates for all
Federal power marketing administrations, but not for TVA. The Commission
also certifies three special classes of power generators: cogeneration
facilities, small power production facilities, and exempt wholesale
generators. Furthermore, the Commission authorizes tariff provisions, as
appropriate, to allow the gas and oil pipelines and public utilities to
adjust their services to meet their customers' needs and the utilities'
needs to meet competition in their markets. The Commission has and will
continue to develop creative and flexible pricing policies and new
incentive mechanisms to promote the development of the nation's electric
and gas infrastructures and support a competitive wholesale marketplace.

The Commission will continue to ensure that environmental concerns
involving energy projects are properly addressed and that the public
interest is protected when new hydropower projects are licensed or
relicensed and when new natural gas pipeline services are authorized.
The Commission issues preliminary permits, exemptions, licenses and
relicenses for non-federal hydroelectric projects, enforces their terms
and conditions, and performs dam safety inspections. It regulates over
1,600 hydroelectric projects, which supply about 5 percent of the
electric energy generated in the United States. The Commission
investigates to determine the amount of headwater benefits derived from
federally owned and FERC-licensed headwater improvements, collects this
amount from licensees, and returns it to the U.S. Treasury. The
Commission also issues certificates authorizing the construction and
operation of natural gas pipelines and other jurisdictional interstate
natural gas facilities.

In 2003, the Commission closely coordinated with representatives of
all agencies having a role in safety and security matters, including the
U.S. Coast Guard, the Department of Transportation (DOT), the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and state and local law enforcement. In
addition, the Commission placed increased emphasis on plant security
measures and improvements when it conducted biennial inspections of
jurisdictional LNG facilities. In the hydropower program, the Commission
further developed its Hydropower Security Program and implemented new
components, such as requiring vulnerability and security assessments at
approximately 1,000 high-risk dams and providing guidance to dam owners
in conducting these assessments. Coordination of Commission security
efforts with the FBI and the Office of Homeland Security continued. The
Commission participated in workgroups with agencies and licensee
representatives to assist in developing a unified and effective national
response to security at dams.

Competitive Wholesale Energy Markets.--The Commission fosters
nationwide competitive wholesale energy markets in addition to
continuing to regulate transmission providers sub

[[Page 401]]

ject to its jurisdiction. Since enactment of the Energy Policy Act of
1992, the Commission has introduced a number of initiatives to foster
wholesale competition in the generation sector of the electric utility
industry. In 1996, the Commission issued Order Nos. 888 and 889, which
require all jurisdictional public utilities to provide open access
transmission service to all eligible wholesale customers under standard
terms and conditions. At the end of 1999, the Commission issued Order
No. 2000, which called on utilities to voluntarily form regional
transmission organizations (RTOs), with Commission approval, to
facilitate the efficient exchange of electricity over large regions of
the country.

In July 2002, the Commission proposed for public comment a new rule
to adopt a standard design for electric power markets using the best
practices from around the country and the world. The intent of the
standard market design proposal was to build on existing RTO formation
efforts in order to maximize market efficiency, ease market entry, and
reduce transactions costs. Based upon extensive outreach efforts related
to its standard market design proposal, the Commission issued a White
Paper on Wholesale Power Market Platform in April 2003. The White Paper
emphasized the Commission's strong commitment to customer-based,
competitive wholesale power markets, while underscoring an increasingly
flexible approach to regional needs and outlining such customer-focused
objectives as: (1) reliable service; (2) fairness; (3) stability; (4)
mitigation of market power; (5) predictability; and (6) innovative
technology.

In addition, the proposal envisions that regional authorities will
play a significant role in establishing regional power markets. The
Commission will rely on regional state committees to address significant
market design features for their regions while ensuring that seams
issues between regions are minimized. State commission and market
participants in each region will have sufficient flexibility to work out
the details of how certain core elements will be implemented in their
respective regions.

By the end of fiscal year 2003, proposals for RTOs were at various
stages of completion in most regions of the Nation. For example:

LThe Midwest Independent System Operator, Inc. (Midwest
ISO) operates in all or parts of several Midwestern states and one
Canadian province.

LThe Southwest Power Pool (SPP) has filed to establish
itself as an RTO and is currently contemplating operational startup in
2004.

LThe Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection
(PJM), which was granted RTO status in late 2002, is working with the
Midwest ISO to create a joint and common market.

LThe New York and New England ISOs have working groups that
are striving to make the two independent system operators (ISOs) act as
if they were a single operator, and dispatch across seams in a manner
that would be more consistent with dispatch over internal constraints.

LThe California ISO is in the process of implementing a
redesign of its wholesale electricity markets.

The Commission also proposed an incentive pricing policy to further
encourage development of regional transmission networks and needed
investment in transmission infrastmcture, and to improve grid
performance. The incentive pricing policy proposes to allow a premium on
a utility's return on equity if it participates in an RTO, divests its
RTO-operated transmission assets, or pursues additional measures that
promote efficient operation and expansion of the transmission grid.

The Commission is committed to encouraging competitive market
institutions across the lower 48 states, and to implementing clear,
self-enforcing market rules across the Nation's regional bulk power
markets that balance the interests of all market participants. The
Commission will continue to promote a more reliable electricity system
by (1) fostering regional coordination and planning of the interstate
grid through regional ISOs and RTOs; (2) adopting transmission pricing
policies that provide price signals for the most reliable and efficient
operation and expansion of the grid; and (3) providing pricing
incentives at the wholesale level for investment in grid improvements
and assuring opportunities for cost recovery in wholesale transmission
rates.

Market Oversight.--The Commission must protect customers and market
participants through vigilant and fair oversight of the transitioning
energy markets. The Commission will strengthen the role of RTO market
monitoring units and will count on them as the first line of defense
against problems. The Commission will ensure procompetitive market
structures by identifying and remedying problems, assessing market and
infrastructure conditions against objective benchmarks, and periodically
reviewing and revising market rules for sustained, long-term development
of energy markets. This will allow for correction of major potential
problems in the markets before they become serious. The Commission will
also issue an annual State of the Markets Report, to review overall
market performance for both natural gas and electricity and highlight
longer term issues. In addition, the Commission will continue to ensure
that mergers and consolidations are consistent with pro-competitive
goals. The Commission will detect abuses of market power quickly and use
prohibitions and penalties as necessary to remove, prevent, and deter
abuses. The Commission will conduct investigations as warranted and act
on complaints, using litigation before administrative law judges as
necessary.

Management Initiatives.--Efficient management of resources
facilitates accomplishing the Commission's regulatory mission. Resource
management includes human resources management and development,
financial management, including budget formulation and execution,
strategic and business planning, and procurement, information
technology, and external communications.

The alternative fuels program was established in 1980 for the
purpose of expediting the development and production of alternative
fuels from coal.

Upon default of the borrower in 1985 under a Federal loan guarantee,
the Department acquired ownership of the Great Plains plant by
foreclosure. On October 31, 1988, the Department completed an asset
purchase agreement of the Great Plains Gasification Plant by Dakota
Gasification Company (DGC).

Negotiated settlement agreements dated February 16, 1994, resolved
all past disputes as well as restructured the Gas Purchase Agreements
pricing provisions. In a separate agreement with DOE, DGC agreed to pay
DOE $25 million over the 7 year period of time DGC receives the demand
payments from the pipeline companies.

Funds in this account are used to pay for expenses and
responsibilities related to the Department's prior operation of the
Great Plains Coal Gasification Project and the administration of the
Asset Purchase Agreement which transferred the facility to the private
sector. During 2002, the largest costs were for technical analysis to
determine the reduction in net synthetic natural gas production at the
Great Plains Synfuels Plant caused by the operation of an Anhydrous
Ammonia Synthesis Plant within the larger gasification facility, and its
effect on revenues. Remaining outstanding obligations are for carrying
out contractual obligations to the termination of the contract in 2009.
The Federal revenue sharing receipts are based on this review and
analysis.

Title XXXIV, Subtitle B of Public Law 104-106 required the
Department to sell the government's interest in Naval Petroleum Reserve
No. 1 (Elk Hills) pursuant to the terms of the Act. The sale occurred in
February 1998, following a statutorily-required 31-day congressional
review period.

Section 3415 of the Act required, among other things, that the
Department make an offer of settlement based on the fair value of the
State of California's longstanding claims to two parcels of land
(``school lands'') within the Reserve. Under the Act, nine percent of
the net proceeds were reserved in contingent fund in the Treasury for
payment to the State. In compliance with the Act and in order to remove
any cloud over title which could diminish the sales value of the
Reserve, the Department entered into a settlement agreement with the
State on October 11, 1996. That agreement calls for payment to the
State, subject to appropriations, of nine percent of the net proceeds of
sale, payable over a seven-year period (without interest), commencing in
1999. Under the settlement agreement and provided that funds are
appropriated, the first five installments are for $36 million each year,
and the remaining balance is to be paid in two equal installments in
years six and seven. The FY 2004 advance appropriation of $36,000,000
for the sixth payment in 2005 is in keeping with the revised equity
finalization schedule. The 2005 Budget does not propose any new
appropriation. In light of the delays in equity finalization, the
Department expects to consult with the State of California in calendar
year 2004 to discuss a revised payment schedule.

====================================

Growing quantities of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive
waste have been accumulating at commercial nuclear reactor sites and
storage facilities across the country for half a century. They come from
nuclear plants generating commercial electric power, nuclear weapons
production, the operation of naval reactors, and Federal research and
development activities. At Congress's direction, DOE has investigated
the suitability of a storage site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, 100 miles
northwest of Las Vegas, for over 20 years. Based on sound science and
compelling national interests, the President signed House Joint
Resolution 87 approving the site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada for
development as a geologic repository for the Nation's nuclear waste. The
budget provides sufficient funding for DOE to prepare a license
application to meet its plan for receipt of nuclear waste at the
repository beginning in 2010. The Administration also will seek
additional funding to begin essential transportation-related activities
and provide a long-term management and financing plan for the entire
licensing and construction effort. The Administration is committed to
ensuring the environmentally sound and safe disposal of the Nation's
radioactive waste.

The Alaska Power Administration (APA) was created in 1967 by the
Secretary of the Interior to assume the functions of the Bureau of
Reclamation in Alaska--the operations, maintenance, transmission, and
power marketing of the two Federal hydroelectric projects (Eklutna and
Snettisham), and the investigation of future water and power development
programs.

The Alaska Power Administration Asset Sale and Termination Act
(Public Law 104-58), signed into law on November 28, 1995, authorizes
and directs the sale of all Alaska Power Administration assets and the
subsequent termination of APA. The Eklutna project was sold on October
2, 1997, for a cash payment of $5,953,000. The Snettisham project was
sold on August 18, 1998, for $81,966,177.

All remaining Alaska activities of APA, including the Juneau
headquarters office, were terminated on September 30, 1998. Unobligated
transition and termination balances were used to complete remaining
close-out activities and report preparation in Washington, D.C. in 1999.

Operation and Maintenance, Southeastern Power Administration

The Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern) markets power
generated at Corps of Engineers hydroelectric generating plants in an
eleven-State area of the Southeast. Deliveries are made by means of
contracting for use of transmission facilities owned by others. There
are 23 projects now in operation.

Southeastern sells wholesale power primarily to publicly and
cooperatively-owned electric distribution utilities. Southeastern does
not own or operate any transmission facilities. Its long-term contracts
provide for periodic electric rate adjustments to ensure that the
Federal Government recovers costs of operation and capital invested in
power, with interest, in keeping with statutory requirements.

Program direction.--Provision is made for negotiation and
administration of transmission and power contracts, collection of
revenues, development of wholesale power rates, the amortization of
power investment, energy efficiency and competitiveness program,
investigation and planning of proposed water resources projects,
scheduling and dispatch of power generation, scheduling storage and
release of water, administration of contractual operation requirements,
and determination of methods of operating generating plants individually
and in coordination with others to obtain maximum utilization of
resources.

Use of receipts for Corps O&M funding.--In FY 2005, the
Administration proposes to fund U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' power
related operation and maintenance costs in Southeastern's service area
from Southeastern receipts derived from the sale of power. Proprietary
receipts estimated for FY 2005 are decreased to reflect implementation
of this proposal.

Purchase power and wheeling.--In FY 2005, the Southeastern Power
Administration will end Federal financing of purchase power and wheeling
activities. Industry restructuring and resulting competition now make it
attractive for Southeastern's customers to shop for power and
transmission services. Southeastern may continue to support customer
bill crediting, net billing and other alternative financing arrangements
for these activities.

The Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) operates in a
six-State area as a marketing agent for hydroelectric power produced at
Corps of Engineers dams. It also operates and maintains 1,380 miles of
high voltage transmission line, 24 substations and switching stations,
and 47 VHF radio and microwave stations. Southwestern sells its power at
wholesale primarily to publicly and cooperatively owned electric
distribution utilities. Its power sales contracts provide for periodic
rate adjustments to ensure that the Federal Government recovers all
costs of operation and all capital invested in power, with interest, in
keeping with statutory requirements.

Southwestern is also responsible for scheduling and dispatching
power, negotiating power sales contracts, and constructing facilities
required to meet changing customer load requirements.

Program direction.--This activity provides for program costs related
to the operation, maintenance, and support functions of the power system
and includes salaries and benefits, travel, support services, rent,
communications, and other related expenses.

Systems operation and maintenance.--Provision is made for
engineering assessments of issues and alternatives that could adversely
impact or optimize the operation of Southwestern's hydroelectric
resources. Provision is also made for maintenance and replacements of
transmission system facilities to ensure reliable service, negotiation
and administration of power contracts, collection of revenue,
development of wholesale power rates and the depreciation of the power
investment.

Purchase power and wheeling.--Beginning in FY 2005, the Southwestern
Power Administration will end Federal financing of purchase power and
wheeling activities. Industry restructuring and resulting competition
now make it attractive for Southwestern's customers to shop for power
and transmission services. Southwestern may continue to support customer
bill crediting, net billing and other alternative financing arrangements
for these activities.

Construction.--The construction program provides for transmission,
substation, switching and control facility replacements to transmit
power generated at Corps of Engineers' hydroelectric projects in the
Southwest. This program is coordinated with the Corps of Engineers'
construction program and addresses customer requirements.

Reimbursable program.--This program involves services provided by
Southwestern Power Administration to others under various types of
reimbursable arrangements.

Use of receipts for Corps O&M funding.--In FY 2005, the
Administration proposes to fund U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' power
related operation and maintenance costs in Southwestern's service area
from Southwestern receipts derived from the sale of power. Proprietary
receipts estimated for FY 2005 are decreased to reflect implementation
of this proposal.

The Western Area Power Administration (Western) markets electric
power in 15 western States from federally-owned power plants operated
primarily by the Bureau of Reclamation, Corps of Engineers, and the
International Boundary and Water Commission. Western operates and
maintains 17,474 circuit-miles of high-voltage transmission line, more
than 260 substations/switchyards, and associated power system control,
communication and electrical facilities for 15 separate power projects.
Western also constructs additions and modifications to existing
facilities.

In keeping with statutory requirements, Western's long-term power
contracts allow for periodic rate adjustments to ensure that the Federal
Government recovers costs of operation, other costs allocated to power,
and the capital investment in power facilities, with interest.

Power is sold to wholesale customers such as municipalities,
cooperatives, irrigation districts, public utility districts, State and
Federal Government agencies, and private utilities. Receipts are
deposited in the Reclamation Fund, the Falcon and Amistad Operating and
Maintenance Fund, the General Fund, the Colorado River Dam Fund and the
Colorado River Basins Power Marketing Fund.

Systems operation and maintenance.--The systems operation and
maintenance activity provides essential electrical and communication
equipment replacements, and upgrades, capitalized moveable equipment,
technical services, and supplies and materials necessary for safe
reliable operation and cost-effective maintenance of the power systems.

Purchase power and wheeling.--Beginning in FY 2005, Western will no
longer use direct Federal receipts to finance the purchase power and
wheeling services. Customers are encouraged to enter into their own
arrangements for these transmission and firming energy services. For
non-Federal customers, Western will continue to support these
activities through alternative funding methods, such as net-billing,
bill-crediting, and cash advances. Industry restructuring and resulting
competition now make it attractive for Western's customers to shop for
power and transmission services.

System construction.--Western's construction and rehabilitation
activity emphasizes replacement and upgrades of existing infrastructure
to sustain reliable power delivery to its customers, to contain annual
maintenance costs, and to improve overall operational efficiency.
Western will continue to participate in joint construction projects to
encourage more widespread transmission access.

In 2003, Western initiated a public process to decide how to operate
the Central Valley Project power system once current contracts with
Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) expire on December 31, 2004.
Options under consideration, but not yet decided, involve a metered
subsystem and contract-based sub-control areas. A decision will be based
on

[[Page 410]]

criteria identified in a completed and fully open public process that
demonstrates the best alternative to be selected. If the decision is
made for a contract-based sub-control area, Western will propose to
construct or acquire a transmission path through PG&E's Cottonwood and
Round Mountain Substations in California.

Program direction.--This activity provides compensation and all
related expenses for the workforce that operates and maintains Western's
high-voltage interconnected transmission system (systems operation and
maintenance program), and those that plan, design, and supervise the
construction of replacements, upgrades and additions (system
construction program) to the transmission facilities.

Utah mitigation and conservation.--This account is earmarked
primarily for environmental mitigation expenditures covering fish and
wildlife, and recreation resources impacted by the Central Utah Project
and the Colorado River Storage Project in the State of Utah. The FY 2005
President's Budget proposes to transfer the authorities and future
contributions for the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation
Account from the Secretary of Energy, Western Area Power Administration
to the Secretary of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. Western sells
and transmits power from two projects in Utah and provides mitigation
funding separately for these operations. Western does not transmit power
from the Central Utah Project.

Reimbursable program.--This program involves services provided by
Western to others under various types of reimbursable arrangements.

Western will continue to spend out of the Colorado River Dam Fund
for operations and maintenance activities associated with the Boulder
Canyon Project via a reimbursable arrangement with the Interior
Department's Bureau of Reclamation. The Colorado River Dam Fund is a
revolving fund operated by the Bureau of Reclamation. Authority for
Western to obligate directly from the Colorado River Dam Fund comes from
section 104(a) of the Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984.

In FY 2005, the Administration proposes that financing of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers' operation and maintenance costs in Western's
service area, allocated to the power function for repayment, may be
funded from Western receipts derived from the sale of power and related
services. Similarly, the Administration proposes that financing of the
Interior Department's Bureau of Reclamation's operation and maintenance
costs in Western's service area that are allocated to the power function
for repayment, as well as a portion of Reclamation's hydropower research
and development activities, will be funded from Western receipts derived
from the sale of power and related services. Proprietary receipts
estimated for FY 2005 are decreased to reflect the implementation of
this proposal.

Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is a Federal electric power
marketing agency in the Pacific Northwest. BPA markets hydroelectric
power from 21 multipurpose water resource projects of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and 10 projects of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation,
plus some energy from non-Federal generating projects in the region.
These generating resources and BPA's transmission system, planned by the
end of 2004 to consist of an estimated 15,000 circuit miles of high-
voltage transmission lines and 284 substations, are operated as an
integrated power system with operating and financial results combined
and reported as the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). BPA
provides about forty-five percent of the region's electric energy supply
and about three-fourths of the region's electric power transmission
capacity.

BPA is responsible for meeting the net firm power requirements of
its requesting customers through a variety of means, including energy
conservation programs, acquisition of renewable and other resources, and
power exchanges with utilities both in and outside the region.

BPA will finance its operations on the basis of the self-financing
authority provided by Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act of
1974 (Transmission Act) (Public Law 93-454) and the borrowing authority
provided by the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and
Conservation Act (Pacific Northwest Power Act) (Public Law 96-501) for
energy conservation, renewable energy resources and capital fish
facilities. Authority to borrow is available to the BPA on a permanent,
indefinite basis. The amount of borrowing outstanding at any time cannot
exceed $4.45 billion.

BPA finances its $3.7 billion annual cost of operations and
investments primarily using power revenues and loans from the U.S.
Treasury. The amount of loans from the U.S. Treasury is currently capped
by statute at $4.45 billion. BPA has also started seeking non-federal
participation and joint financing and ownership of its transmission
system upgrades and other investments. BPA will coordinate with the
Secretary

[[Page 412]]

of Energy or his designee on such alternative financing opportunities
before exercising its borrowing authority.

Consistent with scorekeeping procedures developed under the Budget
Enforcement Act of 1990, some agency lease-purchase transactions
constitute a form of Federal agency debt for budget purposes. This
reflects the fact that these long-term transactions result in
liabilities that make a claim on future agency resources similar to a
traditional loan transaction. (The scorekeeping procedures are discussed
at more length elsewhere in the budget documents.) At the time the
Budget was being printed, BPA was considering whether it would enter
into such a lease purchase transaction. As stated above, BPA's debt to
the U.S. Treasury is currently limited by statute. To ensure the
integrity and usefulness of this limitation, the Administration is
considering proposing legislation calling for certain nontraditional
financing transactions that are entered into after the date the
legislation is enacted and that are similar to debt-like transactions to
be treated as debt and counted toward BPA's statutory debt limit. This
legislative proposal will be fully vetted with BPA stakeholders.

Operating expenses: Transmission services business line.--Provides
funding from revenues for electric transmission research and development
and program support of the capital investment program described below
for transmission services. Provides for operating an estimated 15,000
miles of line and 284 substations, and for maintaining the facilities
and equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 2005.

Power business line.--Provides for the planning, contractual
acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective resources. These
resources are needed to serve BPA's portion of the region's forecasted
net electric load requirements. Also includes protection, mitigation and
enhancement of fish and wildlife affected by hydroelectric facilities on
the Columbia River and its tributaries in accordance with the Pacific
Northwest Power Act. Provides for payment of the operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs of the 31 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation hydro projects, and amortization on the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation capital investment in power generating facilities
and irrigation assistance at Bureau facilities. Provides for the
planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost
effective conservation. Also provides for extending the benefits of low
cost Federal power to the residential and small farm customers of
investor-owned and publicly-owned utilities, in accordance with the
Pacific Northwest Power Act and for activities of the Pacific Northwest
Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council required by the Pacific
Northwest Power Act.

Interest.--Provides for payments to the U.S. Treasury for interest
on borrowings to finance BPA's transmission services, conservation,
capital equipment, fish and wildlife, and associated projects capital
programs under $4.45 billion borrowing authority provided by the
Transmission Act as amended by the Pacific Northwest Power Act and
replenished by Public Law 98-50 and Public Law 108-7. In implementing
the new borrowing authority, Bonneville will encourage private-sector or
other non-federal financing or joint financing of transmission line
expansions and additions, develop a five-year investment plan with the
participation of the regional Infrastructure Technical Review Committee
or its successor in the region, use funds only for authorized purposes,
include the proposed use of the funds in its annual budget submissions,
and select projects based on cost effectiveness criteria for achieving
the objective. This category also includes interest on Corps of
Engineers, BPA and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation appropriated debt.

Capital Investments: Transmission services business line.--Provides
for the planning, design and construction of transmission lines,
substation and control system additions, replacements, and enhancements
to the FCRPS transmission system for a reliable, efficient and cost-
effective regional transmission system. Provides for planning, design,
and construction work to repair or replace existing transmission lines,
substations, control systems, and general facilities of the FCRPS
transmission system.

Power business line.--Provides for direct funding of additions,
improvements, and replacements at existing Federal hydroelectric
projects in the Northwest. Also provides for capital investments to
implement environmental activities, and protect, mitigate, and enhance
fish and wildlife affected by hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia
River and its tributaries, in accordance with the Pacific Northwest
Power Act. Also provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and
oversight of reliable, cost effective conservation.

Capital equipment/Capitalized bond premium.--Provides for general
purpose ADP equipment, office furniture and equipment, and software
capital development in support of all BPA programs. Also provides for
bond premiums incurred for refinancing of bonds.

Contingencies.--Although contingencies are not specifically funded,
the need may arise to provide for purchase of power in low-water years;
for repair and/or replacement of facilities affected by natural and man-
made emergencies, including the resulting additional costs for
contracting, construction, and operation and maintenance work; for
unavoidable increased costs for the planned program due to necessary but
unforeseen adjustments, including engineering and design changes,
contractor and other claims and relocations; or for payment of a
retrospective premium adjustment in excess nuclear property insurance.

Financing.--The Transmission Act provides for the use by BPA of all
receipts, collections, and recoveries in cash from all sources,
including the sale of bonds, to finance the annual budget programs of
BPA. These receipts result primarily from the sale of power and wheeling
services. The Transmission Act also provides for authority to borrow
from the U.S. Treasury at rates comparable to borrowings at open market
rates for similar issues. As amended by the Pacific Northwest Power Act
and replenished by Public Law 98-50 and Public Law 108-7, it allows for
$4.45 billion of borrowing to be outstanding at any time. The 2005
capital obligations are estimated to be $486.9 million. To the extent
BPA capital borrowing authority is insufficient in 2005, BPA would use
cash reserves generated by revenues from customers, if available, to
finance some of these investments.

In 2003, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $1.057 billion and
also expects to make payments of $770.0 million in 2004 and $851.0
million in 2005. The 2005 payment will be distributed as follows:
interest on bonds and appropriations ($521.0 million), amortization
($303.0 million), and other ($27.0 million). BPA also received credits
totaling $175 million applied against its Treasury payments in 2003 to
reflect amounts diverted to fish mitigation efforts in the Columbia and
Snake River systems.

Direct loans.--During 2005, no new direct loan obligations may be
made.

Operating results.--Total revenues are forecast at approximately
$3.7 billion in 2005.

It should be noted that BPA's revenue forecasts are based on several
critical assumptions about both the supply of and demand for Federal
energy. During the operating year, deviation from the conditions assumed
in a rate case may result in a variation in actual revenues of several
hundred million dollars from the forecast.

Consistent with Administration policy, BPA will continue to fully
recover, from the sale of electric power and trans

[[Page 413]]

mission, funds sufficient to cover the full cost of Civil Service
Retirement System and Post-Retirement Health Benefits for their
employees. The entire cost of BPA employees working under the Federal
Employees Retirement System is already fully recovered in wholesale
electric power and transmission rates.

this process and identifies 19 specific initiatives including the
integration of disparate financial and HR systems, consolidation of
desktop and network services and development of the corporate date
repository.

The office manages the Corporate Management Information Program
(CMIP). The CMIP program supports the implementation of the Department
of Energy E-government Strategy, especially the development of cost

efforts, which includes public information, press and media services,
the departmental newsletter DOE This Month, speech writing, special
projects, editorial services, the Department's home page, and review of
proposed publications and audiovisuals.

General Counsel.--This office is responsible for providing legal
services to all energy activities except for those functions belonging
exclusively to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which is served
by its own General Counsel. Its responsibilities entail the provision of
legal opinions, advice and services to administrative and program
offices, and the conduct of both administrative and judicial litigation,
as well

[[Page 416]]

as legal advice and support for enforcement activities. Further, the
General Counsel appears before State and Federal agencies in defense of
national energy policies and activities. The office is responsible for
