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 certifi
[[Page 381]]
cation 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 the
development of a Reliable Replacement Warhead, and the evolution of the
Nuclear Weapons Complex to be more responsive and cost effective. The
Department also supports the capability to return to underground
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 stockpile
requirements.
Campaigns.--Focuses on scientific, technical and engineering efforts
to develop and maintain critical capabilities and 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.--Manages strategically placed
people and equipment to provide a technically trained response to any
nuclear or radiological emergency worldwide.
Facilities and infrastructure recapitalization.--Executes a multi-
year effort to restore the physical infrastructure of the nuclear
weapons complex and supports the responsive infrastructure requirements
of the Nuclear Posture Review. This capital renewal and sustainability
program focuses on deferred maintenance reduction of mission-critical
facilities and infrastructure, disposition of excess non-process
contaminated facilities, and construction of selected utility line
items. The Program is also working towards institutionalizing
responsible and accountable facility management within the NNSA
consistent with industry best practices.
Environmental projects and operations program.--This program is
responsible for management of long-term environmental stewardship at
NNSA sites. Activities include groundwater treatment, environmental
monitoring of surface water, ground water, soils and landfill remedies;
and reporting and liaison requirements for various states and
surveillance/monitoring of contaminated, excess buildings.
Safeguards and security.--Provides for all safeguard and security
requirements including protective forces, systems and cyber security
(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) advance the technologies to detect the proliferation of
weapons of mass destruction worldwide; (3) and eliminate or secure
inventories of surplus materials and infrastructure 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 2007, work will be done in the following major
areas.
Nonproliferation and verification research and development will
conduct long term research and development leading to prototype
demonstrations and detection systems for strengthening U.S. capabilities
to respond to current and projected threats to national and homeland
security posed by the proliferation of nuclear weapons and diversion of
special nuclear material. The program interfaces directly with NNSA and
other DOE programs as well as other U.S. governmental agencies to
provide innovative tools, techniques, technologies, and capabilities to
meet their nonproliferation, counter-proliferation, and counter-
terrorism mission requirements.
Nonproliferation and international security efforts will control
export of items and technology useful for weapons of mass destruction
(WMD); continue an augmented export control cooperation program
involving emerging suppliers and high-traffic transit states; break up
proliferation networks and improve international export control
guidelines; develop verification technologies for countries of
proliferation concern; implement international safeguards in conjunction
with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA); develop and
implement policy in support of global nonproliferation regime; serve as
the technical edge within the interagency for various interdiction
activities; develop and implement transparency measures to ensure that
nuclear materials are secure; develop and implement innovative
approaches to improve regional security, help to transition WMD
scientific communities in high-risk nations, and conduct international
emergency management and cooperation activities. The Defense Nuclear
Nonproliferation 2007 budget incorporates the HEU Transparency and
Implementation and the Global Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention
programs under Nonproliferation and International Security.
International nuclear materials protection and cooperation will
continue to improve the security of nuclear material and nuclear
warheads in Russia and other counties of proliferation concern 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 and 12th Main Directorate sites
containing nuclear warheads. The United States, through DOE/NNSA's
Second Line of Defense Program, will continue to work with international
partners to enhance their capabilities to detect, deter, and interdict
illicit trafficking in nuclear and other radioactive materials,
including the screening of containerized cargo at strategic
international seaports.
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.
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. The program focuses U.S. efforts to accomplish the Plutonium
Management and Disposition Agreement between the U.S. and Russia, which
commits both countries to dispose of 34 metric tons of surplus weapons-
grade plutonium; and separate efforts to down blend surplus U.S. highly
enriched uranium.
Global threat reduction initiative removes and/or secures high-risk
nuclear radiological materials and equipment around the world that pose
a threat to the U.S. and the international community; addresses all
vulnerable materials removal and radioactive source security and
recovery; targets research reactors and medical isotopes production
processes worldwide for conversion to suitable LEU fuels and targets;
eliminates stockpiles of Russian-origin and U.S.-origin spent nuclear
fuel in foreign research reactors through repatriation of such material
to Russia and the U.S.; prevents proliferation of nuclear weapons by
securing nearly three tons of weapons-grade plutonium in the BN-350
breeder reactor at Actual, Kazakhstan; purchases Russian HEU fuel for
use in U.S. research reactors; identifies, recovers, and stores, on an
interim-basis, certain domestic radioactive sealed sources, and other
radiological materials that pose a security risk to the U.S. and/or
world community; reduces the international threat posed by radiological
materials that could be used in a radiological dispersal device (RDD) or
``dirty bomb.''

Defense Environmental Management activities that were previously
funded in two separate appropriations, Defense Site Acceleration
Completion and Defense Environmental Services, are now funded in the
Defense Environmental Cleanup appropriation as a result of a budget
restructuring in 2006. The Defense Environmental Management program is
responsible for identifying and reducing risks and managing waste at
sites where the Department carried out defense-related nuclear research
and production activities that resulted in radioactive, hazardous, and
mixed waste contamination requiring remediation, stabilization, or some
other type of cleanup action. The budget displays the cleanup program by
site.
Closure sites.--Funds geographic sites that are nearing cleanup
completion or have completed cleanup and are awaiting transfer to the
Office of Legacy Management or other DOE or private sector entity. The
sites contained in this budget include Ashtabula, Columbus, Fernald,
Mound, and Rocky Flats. Closure and post-closure activities will include
final contract fee payments for project physical completion, and work to
cover any potential gap between EM acceptance of the contractor's
declaration of physical completion and the date EM transfers site
custodianship to another entity.
Hanford site.--Funds the Hanford Site cleanup and environmental
restoration to protect the Columbia River. Because of the immensity of
the cleanup program at the Hanford Site, the cleanup is managed by two
site offices: the Richland Operations Office and the Office of River
Protection.
Hanford Site (Richland) is responsible for cleanup of most of the
geographic area on the Hanford Site, and its projects are displayed in
two accounts: projects to be completed by 2012, and projects to be
completed before 2035. The primary cleanup focus is the safe storage,
treatment and disposal of Hanford's legacy wastes and environmental
restoration. Risk to the public, workers, and the environment will be
reduced by removing contamination before it migrates to the Columbia
River.
The Office of River Protection at the Hanford Site is responsible
for the storage, retrieval, treatment, immobilization, and disposal of
tank waste and the operation, maintenance, engineering, and construction
activities in the 200 Area Tank Farms. Its budget has two components,
the operation and maintenance of radioactive liquid waste tank farms and
construction of the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant.
Idaho.--Funds the Idaho Cleanup Project, which is aimed at reducing
the risk of contamination reaching the Snake River Plain Aquifer from
nuclear and hazardous waste buried or stored on-site. It also funds
efforts to eliminate infrastructure costs by aggressively conducting
cleanup operations to reduce the site ``footprint''; stabilize legacy
spent nuclear fuel through 2012; and treat and dispose of the sodium
bearing tank wastes, close tank farms, perform initial tank soils
remediation work as well as preparation of the stored high-level waste
calcine for final disposition.
NNSA sites.--Funds the safe and efficient cleanup of the
environmental legacy at the following National Nuclear Security
Administration Sites: Kansas City Plant, Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory-Livermore Site and Site 300, Los Alamos National Laboratory,
Nevada Site Office, and the Separations Process Research Unit. The
cleanup strategy is a risk-based and regulatory compliant approach that
focuses first on those contaminant plumes and sources that are the
greatest contributors to risk. The overall goal is to ensure that risks
to the public and workers are controlled, followed by work to clean up
soil and groundwater using a risk-based methodology.
Oak Ridge.--Funds defense-related cleanup of the three facilities
that make up the Oak Ridge Reservation: the East Tennessee Technology
Park, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Y-12 Plant. Because of
the variety of defense and civilian projects performed at these three
sites, cleanup is funded in the each of the three Environmental
Management appropriations. The overall cleanup strategy is based on
surface water considerations, encompassing five distinct
[[Page 385]]
watersheds that feed the Clinch River. Cleanup actions will ensure that
waste is contained; on-site surface water quality is improved to meet
required standards; and off-site users of the Clinch River remain
protected.
Savannah River Site.--Funds the safe stabilization, treatment, and
disposition of legacy nuclear materials, spent nuclear fuel, and waste
at the Savannah River Site. The cleanup funding is displayed in three
accounts: projects to be completed by 2012, projects to be completed
before 2035, and projects related to the Radioactive Liquid Waste Tank
Farms, including Defense Waste Processing Facility operations. The
Savannah River cleanup strategy has three primary objectives: (1)
eliminate the highest risks first through safe stabilization, treatment,
and disposition of EM-owned nuclear materials, spent nuclear fuel, and
waste; (2) significantly reduce costs of continuing operations and
surveillance and maintenance and; (3) decommission all EM-owned
facilities and remediate groundwater and contaminated soils, using an
area closure approach.
Waste isolation pilot plant.--Funds the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant,
the world's first permitted deep geologic repository for the permanent
disposal of radioactive waste, and the Nation's only disposal site for
defense-generated transuranic waste. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant,
managed by the Carlsbad Field Office, is an operating facility,
supporting the cleanup of transuranic waste from waste generator and
storage sites. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is crucial to DOE
completing its cleanup/closure mission.
Program direction.--Funds the Federal workforce responsible for the
overall direction and administrative support of the EM program,
including both Headquarters and field personnel.
Program support.--Funds EM Headquarters policy and oversight
activities. This includes management and direction for various
crosscutting EM and Department of Energy initiatives; establishment and
implementation of national and departmental policy; and analyses and
integration activities across the Department of Energy complex in a
consistent, responsible and efficient manner.
Safeguards and security.--Funds activities to ensure protection
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 national security or the health and
safety of Department of Energy and contractor employees, the public or
the environment.
Technology development and deployment.--Funds projects to address
the immediate, near- and long-term technology needs identified by the EM
sites, enabling them to accelerate their cleanup schedules, treat
orphaned wastes, improve worker safety, and provide technical
foundations for the sites' end state visions.
Uranium enrichment decontamination and decommissioning fund
contribution.--Funds the Federal Government's contribution to the
Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund, as required
by the Energy Policy Act of 1992.

Security and safety performance assurance.--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; and the Continuity of Government program. 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 provides
funding for background investigations for Federal and contractor
personnel who require security access authorizations. The independent
oversight and performance assurance function is also part of the Office
of Security and Safety Performance Assurance and provides independent
assessment of the effectiveness of Departmental policies and site
performance in the areas of safeguards and security; cyber security;
emergency management; environment, safety, and health; and other
critical functions. Appraisals are performed to determine whether site
programs are effectively implemented and achieving Department-wide and
site-specific objectives.
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. Note that the budget request is contained in two
accounts: Other Defense Activities, and Energy Supply and Conservation.
The programs in the other defense activities are oversight, health
studies, and employee compensation support as well as program direction.
Office of legacy management (Defense).--The programs within this
office support long-term stewardship activities at sites where active
remediation has been completed following cessation of Departmental
missions. These activities include ground-water monitoring,
administration of post closure contractor liabilities, records
management, and disposition of assets excess to current Department
needs. The office is significantly increasing the magnitude of its
activities during 2007 with the transfer of the following sites from the
Office of Environmental Management to the Office of Legacy Management
for Long term stewardship: the Rocky Flats site in Colorado; the Batelle
Columbus site in Ohio; and the Nevada office sites.
All other.--Obligations are included for the Defense Related
Administrative Support, Defense Related Activities at INL, and the
Office of Hearings and Appeals. Responsibilities of the Office of
Hearings and Appeals include adjudications of
[[Page 387]]
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 also decides all requests for exception from DOE orders, rules
and regulations.

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 2005, the balance
owed by the Federal Government to the Nuclear Waste Fund was
approximately $770 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 2005, a total of approximately $2,588
million has been appropriated to support nuclear waste repository
activities attributed to atomic energy defense activities.

High energy physics.--The high energy physics (HEP) research program
focuses on gaining insights into the fundamental constituents of matter,
the fundamental forces in nature, and the mysterious forms of unseen
energy and matter that dominate the universe. The program encompasses
both experimental and theoretical particle physics research and related
advanced accelerator and detector technology research and development
(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 invisible ``dark energy'' that permeates empty space,
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. HEP 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 imaging and diagnostics, and materials, biology, and chemistry
research using light sources.
The HEP budget request will support the continued operation of the
Department's major HEP facilities: the Fermilab Tevatron Collider and
Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) and the Stanford Linear
Accelerator Center B-Factory. In addition, funding 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,
along with support for commissioning, maintenance, and operations of
U.S.-supplied components, and software and computing infrastructure for
data analysis.
The HEP request also develops the most compelling new scientific
opportunities for the U.S. HEP program in the next decade, including $60
million of R&D for a potential international linear collider, enabling a
U.S. leadership role in a comprehensive, coordinated international R&D
program. While the future trajectory of the HEP program has a strong
emphasis on linear collider R&D, it will also provide a diverse array of
other world-leading efforts, including the understanding of dark energy,
strong U.S. participation in Large Hadron Collider physics, and
forefront neutrino experiments and facilities.
Nuclear physics.--The goal of the nuclear physics program is to
understand the evolution and structure of nuclear matter, from the
smallest building blocks; quarks and gluons; to the stable elements in
the Universe created by stars; to unique isotopes created in the
laboratory that exist at the limits of stability and possess radically
different properties from known matter. The program aims to provide a
compelling story of how the world around us has evolved, and focuses on
such questions as--``What is the structure of the nucleon?''; ``What is
the structure of nucleonic matter?''; ``What are the properties of hot
nuclear matter?''; ``What is the nuclear microphysics of the
universe?''; and ``What is to be the new Standard Model?''
Fundamental research in nuclear physics will provide new insights
and advance our knowledge on the nature of matter and energy and develop
the scientific knowledge, technologies, and trained manpower that are
needed to underpin the Department of Energy's missions for nuclear-
related national security, energy, and environmental quality.
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider research program at Brookhaven
National Laboratory will continue pursuing the characterization of new
states of matter formed at high energies and densities.
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility/Continuous
Electron Beam Accelerator Facility experimental program will continue
its studies focused on understanding the substructure of the nucleon.
Research and development aimed at doubling the available energy of this
facility continues. Operations of the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam
Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Argonne Tandem Linear
Accelerator System at Argonne National Laboratory will be supported for
the study of nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics, as will the
operation of accelerator laboratories at universities.
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; environmental remediation; molecular,
cellular, and systemic studies on the biological effects of radiation;
structural biology; medical applications of nuclear technology; and the
Human Genome Program. 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 $135.3
million.
[[Page 389]]
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 $44.9 million for hydrogen and
fuel cell research as part of the President's Hydrogen Initiative as
well as funding for basic research in other areas that support the
Nation's energy agenda.
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 $168.4 million for the first
full year of operations of the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak
Ridge National Laboratory to meet the Nation's neutron scattering needs.
The request includes $20.5 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, BES funding for the multi-agency national
nanotechnology program. includes funding for the nanoscale science
research centers (NSRCs) at the Oak Ridge, Lawrence Berkeley,
Brookhaven, and Argonne national laboratories, and for one NSRC
collocated at Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories. The request
also includes $105.7 million for construction of the Linac Coherent
Light Source at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
Fusion energy sciences.--The mission of the fusion energy sciences
(FES) program is to advance plasma science, fusion science, and fusion
technology to contribute to the knowledge base for an economically and
environmentally attractive energy source. 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: a predictive capability for key aspects
of burning plasmas; a fundamental understanding of magnetic confinement
through research on magnetic confinement configuration optimization; and
progress toward developing the fundamental understanding of high energy
density plasma physics.
The budget includes $60.0 million for the U.S. contribution to the
ITER project, an international burning plasma physics experiment that is
an essential next step toward eventually developing fusion as a
commercially viable energy source.
The budget request also provides for support of basic research in
plasma science in partnership with NSF, and investigation of innovative
confinement concepts, 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 in the long run. Fabrication of the National
Compact Stellarator Experiment will continue at Princeton Plasma Physics
Laboratory in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Theory
and modeling, using high performance computing and enabling technology
research will also be conducted in support of the science experiments.
Science laboratories infrastructure.--The goal of this 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 Oak Ridge Landlord activity is also funded here. The request
includes funding to continue demolition of the Bevatron Complex at
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Advanced scientific computing research.--This program includes
research in mathematical, information, and computational sciences. The
purpose of this 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 and network facilities. The request includes research,
integrated with other science programs, on application of computer
simulation and modeling to science problems.
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, 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 in areas of science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics.

The purpose of Energy Supply and Conservation activities is to
develop new energy technologies and improve productivity of existing
energy technologies. Included are programs that fund basic and applied
research, development, demonstration, and technical assistance to
promote deployment of new technologies. These programs have significant
potential to contribute to economic growth, increased energy security,
and a cleaner environment.
This account provides funds for both operating expenses and capital
equipment for the advancement of the various energy technologies.
Energy efficiency and renewable energy.--These programs undertake
research, development and deployment activities to advance the use of
renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and related
practices to meet the growing need for clean and affordable energy. The
program also provides formula grants to States for energy efficiency
improvements and weatherization assistance for low-income homes.
Specific activities of the 2007 program include:
Hydrogen technology: As a key component of the President's
Hydrogen Fuel Initiative, this program develops hydrogen production,
storage, and delivery and fuel cell 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 achieve a vision of a cleaner, more
secure energy future. Current research will facilitate a decision by
industry to commercialize a hydrogen infrastructure and fuel cell
vehicles by 2015.
Biomass: This program funds research, development, and
technology validation on advanced technologies that will enable
future biorefineries to sustainably convert cellulosic biomass to
fuels, chemicals, heat and power. The Administration priority for
displacing imported oil will be facilitated by a new Departmental
Initiative focusing on accelerated validation of biorefinery
pathways using cellulosic residues and dedicated biomass crops.
Solar energy: Through the Department's new Solar America
Initiative (SAI), the Solar Program will help accelerate the market
competitiveness of solar electricity from photovoltaic (PV) systems.
SAI features a competition among
[[Page 391]]
industry-led consortia to lower the cost of energy from PV systems
through manufacturing and efficiency improvements. Concentrating
solar power activities are focused on lowering the cost of solar
power using centralized generation.
Wind energy: This program develops technology in partnership
with industry to allow wind power to be cost-competitive in more
prevalent, lower-wind speed onshore and offshore wind resource
areas. The program also supports activities to reduce barriers to
electric grid integration and technology acceptance.
Vehicle technologies: This program supports the FreedomCAR and
21st Century Truck partnership with industry. Program activities
encompass a suite of technologies, needed for both hybrid and fuel
cell vehicles, including lightweight materials, electronic power
control and electric drive motors, and advanced energy storage
devices. 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. In general, program R&D seeks technology
breakthroughs that will enable America's highway transportation to
greatly reduce petroleum use. The program also now includes the
Clean Cities activities to facilitate deployment of technologies
that reduce petroleum use.
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 building 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 funds cost-shared research
in critical technology areas identified in partnership with
industry. It also funds energy audits and training programs to help
U.S. industrial firms reduce their energy use. The Industries of the
Future (Specific) program encourages the most energy-intensive
industries to develop a strategic vision and a ``technology
roadmap'' toward collaborative Federal R&D to help achieve that
vision. The Industries of the Future (Crosscutting) program develops
technologies, such as sensors and controls, combustion, and advanced
industrial materials, that may contribute to significant energy
benefits in multiple industries.
Distributed energy resources: As directed by Congress in the
2006 appropriation conference report, this program has been
transferred to the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy
Reliability.
Federal energy management program: This program reduces the cost
and environmental impact of the Federal Government's energy use by
advancing energy efficiency and water conservation and by promoting
the use of renewable energy in Federal facilities, including the
Department of Energy's facilities.
Facilities and infrastructure: The budget includes funding for
general plant projects and general purpose equipment at the National
Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Weatherization and intergovernmental activities: This program
provides grants and technical assistance to States and local
governments, tribes, and government/non-profit renewable energy
electricity generators to promote adoption of energy efficiency and
renewable energy technologies and practices. The Weatherization
Assistance Program improves the energy efficiency of low-income
homes by providing formula grants and technical assistance 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. The Tribal Energy Program helps Native Americans develop
renewable energy resources on their lands and helps Tribal leaders
develop energy plans. The Renewable Energy Production Incentive
provides financial incentive payments for State and local
governments and non-profit cooperatives generating electricity
through renewable technologies.
Electricity delivery and energy reliability.--The mission of the
Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) is to lead
national efforts to modernize the electric grid, enhance security and
reliability of the energy infrastructure, and facilitate recovery from
disruptions to the energy supply. This effort is accomplished through
research, development, demonstration and technology transfer; technical
assistance and analytical support to States and regions for policies,
market mechanisms, and activities that facilitate competitive, reliable,
environmentally sensitive, and customer-friendly electric markets;
authorization provision for electricity exports and Presidential permits
for cross-border transmission lines; energy power systems analysis;
energy infrastructure security, and energy restoration. Partnerships to
engage industry, utilities, States, other Federal programs and agencies,
universities, national laboratories, and other stakeholders in OE's
efforts to ensure a more reliable, efficient, and affordable national
electricity supply will continue to be a key element of the program.
Beginning in 2006, the activities within the Distributed Energy Program,
previously funded in the Energy Conservation account, were merged within
the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability. America's
energy supply is essential to a strong economy and national security.
Nuclear energy.--The 2007 Budget continues to support 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 accelerate the development of 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 supports the Nuclear Hydrogen
Initiative, which will develop advanced technologies that can be used in
tandem with next generation nuclear plants to generate economic,
commercial quantities of hydrogen to support a sustainable, clean energy
future for the U.S.
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 federal 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.
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
[[Page 392]]
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
Conservation 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.

The Fossil Energy Research and Development program supports high-
priority, high-risk research that will improve the Nation's ability to
use coal cleanly and efficiently. The program funds research and
development that strengthens the technology base industry uses in
developing new products and processes to support these national goals.
Fossil Energy R&D supports activities ranging from early concept
research in universities and national laboratories to applied R&D and
proof-of-concept projects in private-sector firms.
President's coal research initiative.--FutureGen is a $1 billion
project cost-shared with the private sector and international partners,
which will create the world's first fossil fuel fired, near-zero
atmospheric emissions, electricity and hydrogen producing power plant.
The Budget includes $54 million in 2007 and $203 million to become
available in 2008 towards the government's share for FutureGen. The
Budget provides $5 million for the Clean Coal Power Initiative (CCPI),
which conducts demonstration projects, cost-shared between the
government and industry. Other supporting coal activities include (1)
technologies for advanced coal-fueled power systems, including
Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle and hydrogen turbine technology,
(2) Innovations for Existing Plants, which focuses on mercury control
technologies, (3) Sequestration R&D, which focuses on greenhouse gas
capture and sequestration and (4) 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 challenges to coal use for power generation in the
United States.
Fuel cells.--Fuel cells focuses on fuel cell technology for
distributed and central power generation systems.
Oil and gas.--The Oil and Gas programs will effect an orderly
termination of activities. No additional funding is required for
termination.
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. Within
this program, $4.6 million is proposed for the Alaska Natural Gas
Transportation Project: $2.3 million for the Office of the Federal
Coordinator and $2.3 million for Loan Guarantee program activities.
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
Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability.

In 2005, Congressional budget subcommittees implemented a number of
structural changes, including the unification of energy efficiency and
renewable energy programs under a single subcommittee. Appropriations in
2006 were enacted in accordance with this new integrated structure.
Consequently, programs formerly funded under Energy Conservation are now
funded through the Energy Supply and Conservation account.

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, coordinated 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 began 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 (SPR). This
account funds all SPR petroleum inventory acquisitions, associated
transportation costs, U.S. Customs duties, terminal throughput charges,
incremental drawdown costs, and other related miscellaneous costs. In
2005, the Department filled the Reserve to 700 million barrels,
principally using royalty oil from federal offshore leases. 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 also funds
drawdown and sales operations of the Reserve. In September 2005, funds
were transferred from the SPR facilities account to finance drawdown
operations associated with Hurricane Katrina. The funds will be returned
to the SPR Facilities Account in 2006. DOE loaned 9.8 million barrels of
oil to refiners and sold 11 million barrels in response to the
hurricane. The Budget assumes that DOE will restore the Reserve to 700
million barrels in 2006.

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.
On August 8, 2005, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) was
signed into law. This law represents fundamental changes in Commission
regulation by amending the major statutes implemented by the Commission:
the Federal Power Act (FPA), the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act
(PURPA), the Public Utility Holding Company Act (PUHCA), the Natural Gas
Act, and the Natural Gas Policy Act. As noted below, the types of
changes established by EPAct 2005 enhance the Commission's authority to
promote electric and natural gas infrastructure, wholesale competition
in the electric industry, electric and natural gas market transparency,
and consumer protections. EPAct 2005 imposes several tasks and deadlines
for Commission action including: mandatory rulemaking requirements;
mandatory reports, studies, or memoranda of understanding (some in
conjunction with other agencies); and required consultations with other
agencies (who have the lead) on rulemakings or reports. EPAct 2005 also
allows the Commission to undertake certain discretionary rulemakings or
generic actions. This request includes the resources needed to implement
the Commission's increased responsibilities under EPAct 2005.
Energy infrastructure.--The Commission must promote the development
of a robust energy infrastructure to meet market and operational
demands. The Commission has four primary objectives in meeting
infrastructure needs: expedite development, encourage investment,
address landowner and environmental concerns fairly, and protect the
reliability, security, and safety of the energy infrastructure.
The Commission determines rates for the interstate transportation of
natural gas and oil on the pipelines subject to the Commission's
jurisdiction and rates for the interstate transmission and wholesale
sales of electric energy. The Commission has authorized 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 respective
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 while assuring access to reliable
service at a reasonable price. For example, in June 2005, the Commission
issued a policy statement to remove barriers to the formation of
independent transmission companies and also issued a guidance order on
ratemaking policy with respect to the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004, which provided a tax deduction for income attributable to, among
other things, sales of electricity and natural gas production in the
United States.
EPAct 2005 grants the Commission new regulatory authority to promote
an energy infrastructure that best serves the nation's needs. For
example, the new law grants the Commission--for the first time--siting
authority to relieve congestion of certain interstate transmission
corridors when states fail to act or do not have the authority to act on
transmission proposals to relieve congestion. While this new authority
is more limited than the Commission's gas pipeline siting authority, it
should lower the regulatory barriers to investment in the transmission
grid. The Commission will work to implement this new authority in
accordance with the specific criteria established in EPAct 2005. With
regard to liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal facilities, EPAct
2005 clarified the Commission's exclusive jurisdiction to authorize such
facilities to continue developing much-needed LNG import terminal
facilities.
Further, the Commission continues its encouragement of investment in
energy infrastructure based on the recognition that underinvestment in
electric transmission is a national problem. For example, in November
2005, the Commission issued a proposal for transmission pricing reforms
designed to promote needed investment in energy infrastructure pursuant
to EPAct 2005.
The Commission will continue to ensure that landowner and
environmental concerns involving energy projects are properly addressed
and that the public interest is protected when proposed hydropower
projects are licensed or existing
[[Page 399]]
projects are relicensed, and when it authorizes new natural gas
facilities and services. The Commission issues certificates authorizing
the construction and operation of interstate natural gas pipelines,
storage facilities, LNG import terminal facilities and other
jurisdictional natural gas facilities. EPAct 2005 adopts procedures that
better coordinate the review process for natural gas infrastructure,
allowing final decisions to be rendered in a more timely manner.
Specifically, the Commission is designated as the lead agency for the
purpose of coordinating all applicable authorizations and performing the
environmental review on the siting and authorization of LNG import
terminal facilities, hydropower facilities, and interstate natural gas
pipelines and storage facilities. In its role as the lead agency, the
Commission establishes a schedule that all other permitting agencies
must follow, and maintains one consolidated record to be used for any
judicial reviews of any actions taken. In support thereof, the
Commission is in the process of implementing integrated licensing and
pre-filing processes and interagency agreements facilitating hydropower
licensing, pipeline and storage certification, and LNG facility
authorization.
The Commission issues preliminary permits, exemptions, licenses, and
relicenses for nonfederal hydroelectric projects, enforces their terms
and conditions, and performs dam safety inspections. It regulates over
1,700 non-federal dams, 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. EPAct 2005 grants tax
incentives for hydropower developed at dams existing prior to enactment
of the law. This will have the potential to increase infrastructure
through the construction of generating facilities at non-hydropower dams
and the addition of new facilities at existing hydropower projects.
In 2005, the Commission continued to coordinate closely with
representatives of all agencies having a role in natural gas safety and
security matters, including the U.S. Coast Guard, the Department of
Transportation, the Department of Homeland Security, 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 in conducting biennial inspections of
jurisdictional LNG facilities and in implementing an agreement to
coordinate security and safety reviews of these facilities with the
Coast Guard and the Office of Pipeline Safety. In the hydropower
program, the Commission continued to emphasize its Hydropower Security
Program by leading interagency coordination on federal infrastructure,
conducting workshops on dam site security and emergency action planning,
reviewing over 1,000 Commission-required vulnerability and security
assessments of dams, and monitoring the implementation of security
upgrades.
The Commission will continue the efforts to promote electricity grid
reliability by: (1) fostering regional coordination and planning of the
interstate grid through independent system operators (ISOs) and regional
transmission organizations (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 ensuring opportunities for cost recovery in wholesale transmission
rates.
The Commission's reliability efforts are bolstered by the
Commission's new authority under EPAct 2005. For example, the Commission
will oversee the development and enforcement of mandatory grid-
reliability standards to protect the bulk power supply. EPAct 2005
requires the Commission to certify an electric reliability organization
(ERO) that will propose mandatory reliability standards for all users,
owners and operators of the bulk power system in the United States. The
Commission has already issued proposed rules to implement the
reliability provisions of EPAct 2005 and establish an ERO.
Competitive wholesale energy markets.--The Commission believes that
competition, combined with effective regulation, is the best national
policy for wholesale markets. The Commission has steadily been adapting
its policies over the last 25 years to maintain this balance.
Current Commission policy does not favor one market structure over
another, as evidenced by the Commission's order terminating the
Standards Market Design proposed rule. The Commission has facilitated a
steady, positive evolution of RTOs and competitive markets, as evidenced
by the following examples:
In April 2005, the Midwest Independent System Operator,
Inc. (Midwest ISO) began providing security-constrained, centrally-
dispatched day-ahead and real-time energy markets.
PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM) has integrated a number
of additional utilities' transmission systems. The most recent addition
to PJM occurred in May 2005, with the addition of Virginia Electric and
Power Company.
The Commission continues to promote market transparency and
promulgate and approve clear market rules in wholesale power markets.
Order No. 888 set the foundation upon which to attain competitive
electric markets almost 10 years ago. The industry that existed when
Order No. 888 was issued has changed considerably. In September 2005,
the Commission issued a notice of inquiry to seek comments on what
reforms are necessary to its open access transmission tariff, and to
individual utility tariffs. The Commission has also undertaken reform of
its market-based ratemaking policy.
Now with the enactment of EPAct 2005, the Commission has additional
authority to prevent the exercise of market power. For example, although
EPAct 2005 repeals the substantive restrictions imposed under PUHCA
1935, the new statute enhances the Commission's ``books and records''
access to holding companies and strengthens the Commission's merger and
corporate review authority. The Commission will continue to ensure that
mergers and consolidations will not harm competition. To further support
a competitive market, EPAct 2005 also reforms the PURPA treatment of
qualifying facilities, eliminating certain ownership restrictions and
allowing the Commission to terminate mandatory purchase obligations in
certain circumstances.
Pursuant to its stated goals, the Commission will continue to
promote effective competition in electric and gas markets.
Market oversight.--Competitive markets succeed when competition is
combined with effective regulation to prevent or penalize violations of
the Commission's statutes and regulations. The Commission seeks to
detect market misconduct or dysfunctions quickly, publicize findings
where appropriate, and take prompt action to prevent future misconduct
or dysfunction. Vigilant and effective oversight of market operations
helps the Commission identify violations. The Commission reviews market
information required to be filed by market participants as well as other
public information in order to understand market dynamics and
investigates significant price or market anomalies. The Commission
publishes reports as appropriate. Each year, the Commission conducts
investigations and audits to ensure compliance with the laws and
regulations under its jurisdiction. These actions help to deter
violations from occurring. To help market participants and regulated
entities comply with the Commission's rules, the Commission works with
stakeholders to explain the intent and requirements of its rules and the
laws it administers.
EPAct 2005 provides the Commission with enhanced authority to police
against market manipulation, including increased civil and criminal
penalty authority under the FPA,
[[Page 400]]
NGA, and NGPA. EPAct 2005 also sets forth explicit prohibitions on
market manipulation in electric and gas markets and prohibitions on the
filing of false information under the FPA. In 2005, the Commission
proposed rules detailing broad prohibitions on energy market
manipulation and outlined the Commission's policy on assessing civil
penalties. The Commission has also proposed to allow companies to
challenge the findings of staff operational audits before a final order
is issued. The Commission also initiated a process for granting ``no
action letters,'' when its staff determines that an applicant's proposal
is consistent with relevant law and policies. Such initiatives will
simplify the Commission's rules regarding market manipulation, and
provide greater clarity and regulatory certainty for the industry. With
these new authorities, the Commission seeks to implement vigilant and
effective oversight of market operations and firm, but fair, enforcement
of Commission rules.
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 Department of Energy
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.
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 and related contracts and agreements which
transferred the facility to the private sector. Remaining outstanding
obligations are for carrying out contractual obligations to the
termination of the contract in 2009. The largest recent 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
[[Page 401]]
within the larger gasification facility, and its effect on revenues. 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 unless the seventh payment needs to be deferred in
whole or in part due to the equity finalization schedule. The 2004
advance appropriation of $36,000,000 was the sixth payment in 2005. In
keeping with the revised equity finalization schedule, the 2006 Budget
provided $48,000,000 in new budget authority in addition to the 2005
advance appropriation for the seventh installment payment of
$36,000,000. There is no request for funding in 2007. The timing and
levels of any future budget request are dependent on the schedule and
results of the equity finalization process.

The Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve assures a home heating oil
supply for the Northeast States during times of very low inventories and
significant threats to immediate supply. Two million barrels of heating
oil will protect the Northeast against a disruption for 10 days, the
time required for ships to carry heating oil from the Gulf of Mexico to
New York Harbor.
Contracts for the storage, operation and maintenance of the reserve
were renewed on October 1, 2005. Contracts were awarded to Amerada Hess
(for 1,000,000 barrels in New York harbor) to Morgan Stanley (for
500,000 barrels in New Haven, CT), and to Motiva (for 250,000 barrels in
New Haven, CT and 250,000 barrels in Providence, RI).

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 more than 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 repository site at Yucca Mountain,
Nevada, approximately 100 miles northwest of Las
[[Page 404]]
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 mission of the Office of Civilian
Radioactive Waste Management is critical to national and homeland
security, to the future of the Nation's electric energy supply, and to
the competitiveness of the United States in the global economy. The
Federal responsibility for development of a geologic repository for the
disposition of high-level radioactive waste materials is also necessary
for nuclear non-proliferation and protecting our environment. The budget
for the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management provides $544.5
million for 2007 activities and funding required to implement the
Federal policy for permanent geologic disposal of commercial spent
nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste resulting from the
Nation's commercial reactors and atomic energy defense activities. A
review of the program has also created a path forward with a primarily
canistered approach for the acceptance of commercial spent nuclear fuel
that should result in a cleaner approach to operating the repository.
This will mean a safer, simpler, more straightforward design that
provides more confidence in licensing and repository long-term
operations. This path forward will offer the program increased
opportunities for improving the quality of its facilities, while meeting
its contractual obligations to accept waste at the earliest practical
time following licensing by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
2007 represents a critical juncture in the Yucca Mountain Repository
Project. While the project did not meet its objective of submitting a
License Application (LA) in 2004, investments on four broad fronts in
2007 are required for the project to be able to dispose of thousands of
tons of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) and High Level Waste (HLW) that is
currently being stored at 122 sites in 39 states. Success is dependent
on adequate investment and progress in the following areas:
(1) Development of a License Application for submittal to the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) based on a safer and simpler
approach to handling SNF and operating the repository, otherwise
known as the clean and canistered approach. Development and
subsequent NRC approval of the license will give the Department the
authorization to operate Yucca Mountain and dispose of waste.
(2) Development of a transportation infrastructure to move the
waste from where it is today, safely and securely to the repository
for disposal. Without an adequate transportation system, there is no
credible way for the Department to transport waste to the repository
site for disposal.
(3) Improvement of an aging site infrastructure to ensure
worker, regulator, and visitor safety, which will become a safety
issue if action is not taken.
(4) Development of a culture expected of a NRC licensee.
Consistent with the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations (INPO)
and NRC guidance, the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste
Management will develop a culture in which the organization's values
and behaviors serve to make nuclear safety the overriding priority.
The Administration is committed to ensuring the environmentally
sound and safe disposal of the Nation's radioactive waste.

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 22 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. In
addition, the Budget provides that the interest rate for future
obligations owed to the Treasury by all of the Power Marketing
Administrations for power-related investments be set at the rate
Governmental corporations borrow in the market, similar to the interest
rates current law sets for BPA's borrowing from the U.S. Treasury. This
new policy will be applied to all power-related investments whose
interest rates are not specified in law.
Program direction.--Provision is made for negotiation and
administration of transmission and power contracts, collection
[[Page 407]]
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.
Purchase power and wheeling.--Provision is made for the payment of
wheeling fees and for the purchase of electricity in connection with the
disposal of power under contracts with utility companies. Customers are
encouraged to use alternative funding mechanisms, including customer
advances and net billing to finance these activities. Offsetting
collections to fund these ongoing operating services are also available
up to $34.4 million. Estimates for these activities reflect average
water levels over the past 20 years and prevailing electricity prices in
2005.

The Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) operates in a
six-State area as a marketing agent for hydroelectric power produced at
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' dams. It also operates and maintains
1,380 miles of high voltage transmission lines, 24 substations/switching
stations, associated power system control, and communication sites.
Southwestern constructs additions and modifications to its existing
facilities.
Southwestern markets and delivers its power at wholesale rates
primarily to publicly and cooperatively owned electric distribution
utilities. In compliance with statutory requirements, Southwestern's
power sales contracts provide for periodic rate adjustments to ensure
that the Federal Government recovers all costs of operations, other
costs allocated to power, and the capital investments in power
facilities, with interest.
[[Page 408]]
In addition, the Budget provides that the interest rate for future
obligations owed to the Treasury by all of the Power Marketing
Administrations for power-related investments be set at the rate
Governmental corporations borrow in the market, similar to the interest
rates current law sets for BPA's borrowing from the U.S. Treasury. This
new policy will be applied to all power-related investments whose
interest rates are not specified in law.
Southwestern is also responsible for scheduling and dispatching
power and negotiating power sales contracts to meet changing customer
load requirements.
Program direction.--This subprogram provides compensation and all
related expenses for personnel who market, deliver, operate, and
maintain Southwestern's high-voltage interconnected power system and
associated facilities.
Operations and maintenance.--This subprogram provides essential
electrical and communications equipment replacement and upgrades,
capitalized moveable equipment, technical services, and supplies and
materials necessary for the safe, reliable operation and cost effective
maintenance of the power system.
Purchase power and wheeling.--This subprogram provides for the
purchase and delivery of energy to meet limited peaking power
contractual obligations and transmission line losses resulting from the
delivery of power over the Federal system. Federal power receipts and
alternative financing methods, including net billing, bill crediting,
and customer advances are used to fund system purchased power support
and other contractual services. Customers will provide other power
resources and/or purchases for the remainder of their firm loads.
Construction.--This subprogram provides for replacement, addition,
and modification of existing infrastructure to sustain reliable delivery
of power to its customers, to contain annual maintenance costs, and to
improve overall efficiency.
Reimbursable program.--This activity involves services provided by
Southwestern Power Administration to others under various types of
reimbursable arrangements.

The Western Area Power Administration (Western) markets electric
power in 15 central and western States from federally-owned power plants
operated primarily by the Bureau of Reclamation, Army Corps of
Engineers, and the International Boundary and Water Commission. Western
operates and maintains about 17,000 circuit-miles of high-voltage
transmission line, more than 270 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. In
addition, the Budget provides that the interest rate for future
obligations owed to the Treasury by all of the Power Marketing
Administrations for power-related investments be set at the rate
Governmental corporations borrow in the market, similar to the interest
rates current law sets for BPA's borrowing from the U.S. Treasury. This
new policy will be applied to all power-related investments whose
interest rates are not specified in law.
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.--Provision is made for the payment of
wheeling fees and for the purchase of electricity in connection with the
disposal of power under contracts with utility companies. Customers are
encouraged to contract for power and wheeling on their own, or use
alternative funding mechanisms, including customer advances, net billing
and bill crediting to finance these activities. Ongoing operating
services are also available on a reimbursable basis up to $274.9
million.
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.
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 (CRSP) in the State of Utah.
Western sells and transmits power from two projects in Utah. 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.

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, consisting of
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 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 from the U.S. Treasury 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 $3.0 billion annual cost of operations and
investments primarily using power revenues and loans from the U.S.
Treasury. BPA has also started seeking non-federal participation and
joint financing and ownership of its transmission system upgrades and
other investments. BPA will submit for approval by the Secretary of
Energy or his designee such alternative financing opportunities.
U.S. Treasury Borrowing Authority.--BPA markets its secondary
electricity production to customers both inside and outside of the
Pacific Northwest, such as California. In the last decade, BPA has
received up to $500 million per year from these secondary market
revenues, which has accounted for roughly 20 percent of BPA's power
generation revenues. Due to high energy prices, these secondary revenues
could be significantly higher, especially in the next three years.
It is the Administration's position that it is sound business
practice to use these higher-than-historical revenues to invest back
into energy infrastructure and to pay down debt. Infrastructure
investments for critical transmission pathways in the Pacific Northwest
transmission grid, for example, would alleviate congestion.
Infrastructure investments are needed now and will continue to be needed
in the future.
Beginning in the year 2007 and consistent with sound business
practices required under the Federal Columbia River Transmission System
Act of 1974, the budget provides that BPA will use any secondary market
revenues, in excess of $500 million per year, to make advance
amortization payments to the United States Treasury on BPA's bond
obligations. These payments will be made consistent with statutory
[[Page 412]]
priority of payment requirements. This administrative action will help
to provide BPA with needed financial flexibility to meet its future
energy investment needs, including critical transmission capacity. Long-
term power and transmission service customers of BPA should benefit from
these advance amortization payments both through lower long-term rates
than would otherwise be the case, and through improved and upgraded
capital facilities. The budget reflects a total of $924 million from
FY2007-FY2016 from these higher-than-historical net secondary revenues.
BPA currently has $6.5 billion in private, third-party liabilities
(including liabilities related to Energy Northwest) payable in future
years. The Budget assumes that Energy Northwest will refinance a portion
of its debt in calendar year 2006 and 2007. In addition, the budget
includes the effects in FYs 2006 and 2007 of anticipated debt
optimization refinancing of those non-federal obligations. The
additional cash freed up from these future refinancings ($70 million in
FY 2006 and $312 million in 2007) will be used to pay down BPA federal
debt.
The combined total, covering both FY 2006 and FY 2007 budgets, of
both of these deficit-reducing proposals will be to allow $1.3 billion
in additional U.S. Treasury borrowing authority to become available for
Bonneville Power Administration.
The proper budget reporting of federal debt and debt-like
transactions is essential to improving the financial transparency and
performance of the Federal government. The Administration proposed
legislation in June 2005 that would count certain new, non-traditional
financing transactions entered into after the date the legislation is
enacted and that are similar to debt-like transactions toward BPA's U.S.
Treasury borrowing unit. The Administration supports private-public
partnerships and believes that liabilities that the U.S. Government
incurs as a result of such partnerships should be properly reflected
from a budgeting standpoint. The legislation also includes a correlative
$200 million increase in BPA's U.S. Treasury borrowing authority cap in
FY 2009. The Administration will continue to evaluate the appropriate
BPA borrowing authority level and will propose any changes in that limit
on borrowing authority in future years that are necessary and prudent to
ensure that BPA is able to meet its long-term capital investment needs.
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 about 15,000 miles of
line and 284 substations, and for maintaining the facilities and
equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 2007.
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
its 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 capital
information technologies, and 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 2007
capital obligations are estimated to be $477.0 million. To the extent
BPA capital borrowing authority is insufficient in 2007, BPA would use
cash reserves generated by revenues from customers, if available, to
finance some of these investments.
[[Page 413]]
In 2005, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $1.1 billion and also
expects to make payments of $874.0 million in 2006 and $1,329.0 million
in 2007. The 2007 payment will be distributed as follows: interest on
bonds and appropriations ($430.0 million), amortization ($878.0
million), and other ($21.0 million). BPA also received credits totaling
$45.5 million applied against its Treasury payments in 2005 to reflect
amounts diverted to fish mitigation efforts in the Columbia and Snake
River systems.
Direct loans.--During 2007, no new direct loan obligations may be
made.
Operating results.--Total revenues are forecast at approximately
$3.5 billion in 2007.
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 transmission, 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.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
Sec. 301. (a)(1) None of the funds in this or any other
appropriations Act for fiscal year [2006] 2007 or any previous fiscal
year may be used to make payments for a noncompetitive management and
operating contract unless the Secretary of Energy has published in the
Federal Register and submitted to the Committees on Appropriations of
the House of Representatives and the Senate a written notification, with
respect to each such contract, of the Secretary's decision to use
competitive procedures for the award of the contract, or to not renew
the contract, when the term of the contract expires.
(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to an extension for up to 2 years
of a noncompetitive management and operating contract, if the extension
is for purposes of allowing time to award competitively a new contract,
to provide continuity of service between contracts, or to complete a
contract that will not be renewed.
(b) In this section:
(1) The term ``noncompetitive management and operating
contract'' means a contract that was awarded more than 50 years ago
without competition for the management and operation of Ames
Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Los Alamos
National Laboratory.
(2) The term ``competitive procedures'' has the meaning provided
in section 4 of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy Act (41
U.S.C. 403) and includes procedures described in section 303 of the
Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41 U.S.C.
253) other than a procedure that solicits a proposal from only one
source.
(c) For all management and operating contracts other than those
listed in subsection (b)(1), none of the funds appropriated by this Act
may be used to award a management and operating contract, or award a
significant extension or expansion to an existing management and
operating contract, unless such contract is awarded using competitive
procedures or the Secretary of Energy grants, on a case-by-case basis, a
waiver to allow for such a deviation. The Secretary may not delegate the
authority to grant such a waiver. At least 60 days before a contract
award for which the Secretary intends to grant such a waiver, the
Secretary shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House
of Representatives and the Senate a report notifying the Committees of
the waiver and setting forth, in specificity, the substantive reasons
why the Secretary believes the requirement for competition should be
waived for this particular award.
Sec. 302. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may be used
to--
(1) develop or implement a workforce restructuring plan that
covers employees of the Department of Energy; or
(2) provide enhanced severance payments or other benefits for
employees of the Department of Energy, under section 3161 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law
102-484; 42 U.S.C. 7274h).
Sec. 303. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may be used to
augment the funds made available for obligation by this Act for
severance payments and other benefits and community assistance grants
under section 3161 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 1993 (Public Law 102-484; 42 U.S.C. 7274h) unless the Department of
Energy submits [a reprogramming request] notice thereof to the
appropriate congressional committees.
Sec. 304. None of the funds appropriated by this Act may be used to
prepare or initiate Requests For Proposals (RFPs) for a program if the
program has not been funded by Congress.
Sec. 305. The unexpended balances of prior appropriations provided
for activities in this Act may be available to the same appropriation
accounts for such activities established pursuant to this title.
Available balances may be merged with funds in the applicable
established accounts and thereafter may be accounted for as one fund for
the same time period as originally enacted.
Sec. 306. None of the funds in this or any other Act for the
Administrator of the Bonneville Power Administration may be used to
enter into any agreement to perform energy efficiency services outside
the legally defined Bonneville service territory, with the exception of
services provided internationally, including services provided on a
reimbursable basis, unless the Administrator certifies in advance that
such services are not available from private sector businesses.
Sec. 307. When the Department of Energy makes a user facility
available to universities or other potential users, or seeks input from
universities or other potential users regarding significant
characteristics or equipment in a user facility or a proposed user
facility, the Department shall ensure broad public notice of such
availability or such need for input to universities and other potential
users. When the Department of Energy considers the participation of a
university or other potential user as a formal partner in the
establishment or operation of a user facility, the Department shall
employ full and open competition in selecting such a partner. For
purposes of this section, the term ``user facility'' includes, but is
not limited to: (1) a user facility as described in section 2203(a)(2)
of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 13503(a)(2)); (2) a National
Nuclear Security Administration Defense Programs Technology Deployment
Center/User Facility; and (3) any other Departmental facility designated
by the Department as a user facility.
Sec. 308. Funds appropriated by this or any other Act, or made
available by the transfer of funds in this Act, for intelligence
activities are deemed to be specifically authorized by the Congress for
purposes of section 504 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C.
414) during fiscal year [2006] 2007 until the enactment of the
Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year [2006] 2007.
[Sec. 309. None of the funds in this Act may be used to dispose of
transuranic waste in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant which contains
concentrations of plutonium in excess of 20 percent by weight for the
aggregate of any material category on the date of enactment of this Act,
or is generated after such date. For the purpose of this section, the
material categories of transuranic waste from the Rocky
[[Page 419]]
Flats Environmental Technology Site include: (1) ash residues; (2) salt
residue; (3) wet residues; (4) direct repackage residues; and (5) scrub
alloy as referenced in the ``Final Environmental Impact Statement on
Management of Certain Plutonium Residues and Scrub Alloy Stored at the
Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site''.]
Sec. [310] 309. Reno Hydrogen Fuel Project Funding.--(a) The non-

(b) The cost of project vehicles, related facilities, and other
activities funded from the Federal Transit Administration Sections 5307,
5308, 5309, and 5314 program, including the non-Federal share for the
FTA funds, is an eligible component of the non-Federal share for this
project.
(c) Contribution of the non-Federal share of project costs for all
grants made for this project may be deferred until the entire project is
completed.
(d) All operations and maintenance costs associated with vehicles,
equipment, and facilities utilized for this project are eligible project

fiscal year 2004.
[Sec. 311. Laboratory Directed Research and Development.--Of the
funds made available by the Department of Energy for activities at
government-owned, contractor-operator operated laboratories funded in
this Act or subsequent Energy and Water Development Appropriations Acts,
the Secretary may authorize a specific amount, not to exceed 8 percent
of such funds, to be used by such laboratories for laboratory-directed
research and development: Provided, That the Secretary may also
authorize a specific amount not to exceed 3 percent of such funds, to be
used by the plant manager of a covered nuclear weapons production plant
or the manager of the Nevada Site Office for plant or site-directed
research and development: Provided further, That notwithstanding
Department of Energy order 413.2A, dated January 8, 2001, beginning in
fiscal year 2006 and thereafter, all DOE laboratories may be eligible
for laboratory directed research and development funding.]
[Sec. 312. Of amounts appropriated to the Secretary of Energy for
the Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site for fiscal year 2006, the
Secretary may provide, subject to authorization, up to $10,000,000 for
the purchase of mineral rights at the Rocky Flats Environmental
Technology Site.]
