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 assesses 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. This appropriation also supports activities
under the Working Capital Fund.

This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology,
research and development activities including laboratory and center
supplies, certain operating expenses (including activities under the
Working Capital Fund), contracts, grants, intergovernmental agreements,
and purchases of scientific equipment. These activities provide the
scientific and technology basis for EPA's regulatory actions.
Superfund research costs are appropriated in the Hazardous Substance
Superfund appropriation and transferred to this account to allow for
proper accounting. A portion of funding provided through this account to
support the mobile sources program is to be derived from fees charged
for motor vehicle engine certifications that are deposited in the
Environmental Services special fund.
This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the
Agency's five goals. Specifically in 2007, 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 to reduce risks to human health and the
environment, EPA will conduct a range of science and technology
activities. These include 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.
EPA will implement the renewable fuels provisions of the Energy Policy
Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-79). In addition, EPA will develop tools for state
and local governments to use in developing clean air plans to achieve
air quality standards. The Agency aims to improve indoor environments
through the provision of technical support and analysis to understand
indoor air effects and the identification of potential health risks. EPA
will meet the statutory mandates for managing radioactive 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.
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
disinfection byproducts. EPA will work with States, tribes, drinking
water and wastewater utilities, and other partners to enhance the
security of water utilities. In 2007, EPA will continue Water Sentinel,
a pilot program to demonstrate a standardized, cost-effective approach
that States can implement to provide for coordinated surveillance and
monitoring of drinking water systems. Water Sentinel will provide early
detection and awareness of key threat agents. Water Sentinel pilots will
be placed in at least four additional cities that
[[Page 1023]]
directly benefit the host city as well as provide maximum opportunity
for operational or tactical experience and learning of different types
of water delivery systems. In conjunction with Water Sentinel, EPA will
provide outreach and technical support to all water utilities serving
greater than 100,000 people, including support for utility participation
in emergency response exercises. EPA will also conduct research on
effective beach evaluation tools, and work to enhance understanding of
the structure and function of aquatic 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. Work on field analytical methods for soil characterization
will seek 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; computational toxicology;
endocrine disruptors; human health risk assessments; and comprehensive,
cross-cutting studies of human, community, and ecosystem health. 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. In 2007,
the Agency will expand its support of nanotechology research. This
research aims to generate the underlying science needed to better
understand and predict the potential implications of nanoparticle
releases to the environment and their fate and transport.
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. In 2007,
research will continue to explore the principles governing sustainable
systems and the integration of social, economic, and environmental
objectives in environmental assessment and management. 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.
Enabling and Support Programs.--Enabling and Support Programs
provide the people, facilities and systems necessary to operate the
programs funded by the Science and Technology appropriations (S&T). The
offices and the functions they perform are: Administration and Resources
Management (facilities infrastructure and operations) and Environmental
Information (IT/data management).

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 2007, 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, such as implementation of
the Clean Air Interstate Rule, 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 its partnerships with businesses and other sectors to help
reduce greenhouse gas intensity as well as contribute to cleaner air. In
general, 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. In addition,
the EPA will continue to coordinate the implementation of the Methane-
to-Markets initiative, which is designed to expand global efforts to
capture and use methane as a clean alternative energy source. The Agency
will also participate with other agencies in the Asia-Pacific
Partnership on Clean Development and Climate to help expand global
efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.
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 water
infrastructure, and protecting sources of drinking water from
contamination. To better address the complexity of the remaining
[[Page 1025]]
water quality challenges, EPA will promote local watershed approaches to
achieving the best and most cost-effective solutions to local and
regional water 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 to protect and restore
estuarine resources. EPA will continue support for ecosystem management
and partnership collaboration through the three Great Waterbody
programs-Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, and Gulf of Mexico. 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; and
accurately and consistently portray conditions and trends.
Land Preservation and Restoration.--EPA will work to preserve and
restore the land using the most effective waste management and cleanup
methods available. EPA will use a hierarchy of approaches to protect the
land including reducing waste at its source, recycling waste, managing
waste effectively by preventing spills and releases of toxic materials,
and cleaning up contaminated properties. 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
is the Agency's primary vehicle for implementing this multi-component
strategy for reducing and recycling waste. Recognizing that some
hazardous wastes cannot be completely eliminated or recycled, EPA works
to reduce the risks of exposure to hazardous wastes by maintaining a
cradle-to-grave approach to waste management. To accomplish its clean-up
goals, the agency forges partnerships and develops outreach and
education strategies. EPA's clean-up programs strive to return formerly
contaminated sites to long-term, sustainable and productive use. This
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.
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 support the operations and management of the Brownfields program
including training for organizations representing co-implementers of the
Brownfields law and technical support for communities using federal
funding to address general issues of vacant properties and
infrastructure decisions.
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
an approach to integrating, managing, and providing access to
environmental information. EPA will continue to reduce reporting burden,
improve data quality, and accelerate data publications by accelerating
the replacement of paper-based submissions with 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. Through waste
minimization partnerships, the Agency will reduce the volume of
hazardous chemicals in industrial waste streams and the volume of waste
generated.
Enabling and Support Programs.--Enabling and Support Programs (ESPs)
provide centralized management services and support to the Agency's
various environmental programs.
[[Page 1026]]
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.

This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the
Agency's five goals through grants to States and other partners.
However, EPA faces difficulties in getting States, which receive over 38
percent of EPA's budget, to report consistent, meaningful performance
information. To address this issue, EPA will develop standardized
templates for State grants that all States will use to submit their
State grant agreements, including Performance Partnerships. The new
template will clearly link to EPA's strategic plan, reducing or
eliminating the need to translate State workplan information into EPA's
strategic and annual goals. This action will increase accountability and
make it easier to compare and analyze performance data over time and
across States.
Clean Air and Global Climate Change.--To ensure that every American
community has safe and healthy air to breathe, EPA will offer media-
specific and multi-media Performance Partnership grants, and technical
assistance to States and Tribes. This financial and technical aid will
assist them in the development of their Clean Air Plans and support
solutions that address local air needs. EPA will provide funds to States
to improve air monitoring networks to obtain better data on emissions of
particulate matter, ozone, air toxics, and regional haze. EPA will also
provide funds to implement the clean diesel grant provisions of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-79, sections 791-797). Preference
for these competitive grants will be given to applicants in areas that
have not attained National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
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 includes a
set-aside for 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 more than
$23 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 $55
billion. EPA's goal is for the Clean Water SRFs to attain an average
long-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 to Tribes and
Alaska Native Villages to upgrade drinking water infrastructure to help
them provide safe drinking water. The Administration committed to
capitalizing the Drinking Water SRF through 2018, with the goal of an
average annual long-term revolving level of $1.2 billion.
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.--Under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA provides grants to States to strengthen
their ability to implement hazardous waste programs. EPA also provides
financial and technical assistance to eligible tribal governments and
inter-tribal consortia. In FY 2007, EPA will make grants to states under
Section 2007(f)(2) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, and to federally
recognized Tribes under Public Law 105-276 for underground storage tank
detection, prevention, and correction programs and for new activities
authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. These new activities
include inspecting tanks every three years, implementing operator
training requirements, prohibiting fuel deliveries at non-compliant UST
facilities, and requiring secondary containment for new and replaced
tanks and piping or financial responsibility for tank installers and
manufacturers. EPA will not use STAG funds for the leaking underground
storage tank cleanup activities that are authorized by Section 205 of
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, even if those
activities are also authorized by the Energy Policy Act. There will also
be direct assistance through media-specific, and multimedia and/or
Performance Partnership grants to enable Tribes to implement hazardous
waste programs.
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 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 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 in 2007 to over 9,000. The Agency
will provide direct grant
[[Page 1029]]
assistance to address the serious environmental and human health
problems associated with untreated and industrial and municipal sewage
on the U.S.-Mexico border. 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 $15 million to States, territories, tribes, and
inter-tribal consortia to help them develop their information management
and technology capabilities. The purpose of this support is two-fold: to
assist the Agency in providing ready access to real-time environmental
information and to allow States to better integrate and share their
environmental information.
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.

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. The Agency received
permanent authority for the WCF in P.L. 105-65, which among other things
is intended to increase competition for governmental administrative
services. EPA's WCF became operational in 1997 and includes two main
activities: the Enterprise Technology Services Division's computer
operations and Agency postage. The 2007 amount reflects only base
resources and may change during the year as programmatic needs change.

This appropriation provides funds for the implementation of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities under the Working Capital
Fund. This appropriation supports core Agency programs in four of the
Agency's five goals. Specifically in 2007, emphasis will be placed on
the following:
Land Preservation and Restoration.--EPA expects to complete cleanups
at 40 Superfund sites and also expects to complete 315 removal actions
(excluding actions at federal facilities and actions by potentially
responsible parties with enforcement documentation). Through 2005,
cleanups have been completed at 966 Superfund sites, and over 8,500
removal actions have been taken. The Superfund program needs to fund
several large, complex, ongoing remedial activities and it also has a
number of projects ready for remedial action construction. In 2007, EPA
will redirect resources from earlier phase activities toward
construction to maintain progress in all Superfund response activities.
EPA also supports response to incidents of national significance such as
natural disasters and terrorism by cleaning up contaminated buildings,
monitoring ambient conditions around disaster areas, and removing
hazardous materials. EPA will address homeland security needs by
improving decontamination readiness and environmental laboratory
preparedness and response. 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 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.
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); 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). Because 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, the Taxpayer Relief
Act of 1997, and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, 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, which will expire
2011.
LUST funds are provided to states through cooperative agreements as
authorized under Secton 9003(h) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA)
for oversight and cleanup of petroleum releases from undergroud storage
tanks. EPA will also fund research, studies and training under Section
8001(a)(1) of the SWDA that directly supports state oversight and
cleanup of LUST sites under Section 9003(h) of the SWDA. 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 2007, emphasis will be placed on
the following:
Land Preservation & Restoration.--To manage threats to groundwater
and human health posed by leaking underground storage tanks, EPA will
support State and Tribal efforts to assess and clean up leaks from
federally-regulated underground storage tanks. In 2007, priorities
include providing technical assistance and training to states and Tribes
and helping to address groundwater and drinking water contamination from
oxygenates. EPA has primary responsibility for implementing the LUST
program in Indian Country, and uses a portion of its LUST funding for
cleanup and related activities in Indian Country. LUST research
addresses assessment and cleanup, or remediation, for fuels and fuel
additives, including methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE).
In 2007, EPA will continue to work with states to reduce the
national backlog of approximately 119,240 confirmed releases. To date,
approximately 73 percent of all confirmed releases from USTs have been
cleaned up.
Enabling and Support Programs.--Enabling and Support Programs
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).
