    This appropriation supports EPA's core programs by providing funds 
for Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit, evaluation, and 
investigative products and advisory services. These products and 
services contribute substantially to improved environmental quality and 
human health and improved business practices and accountability. 
Specifically, the OIG performs contract audits and investigations which 
focus on costs claimed by contractors and assesses the effectiveness of 
contract management. Assistance agreement audits and investigations 
evaluate the award, administration, and costs of assistance agreements. 
Program audits, evaluations and investigations determine the extent to 
which the desired results or benefits envisioned by the Administration 
and Congress are being achieved, and identify activities that could 
undermine the integrity, efficiency, and effectiveness of Agency 
programs. Financial statement audits review financial systems and 
statements to ensure that adequate controls are in place and the 
Agency's accounting information is timely, accurate, reliable and 
useful, and complies with applicable laws and regulations. Systems 
audits review the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of operations 
by examining the Agency's support systems for achieving environmental 
goals. Additional funds for audit, evaluation and investigative 
activities associated with the Superfund Trust Fund are appropriated 
under that account and transferred to the Inspector General account to 
allow for proper accounting. Superfund Trust Fund payments have been 
reduced by $5 million in 2008 due to a noted decline in Superfund-
related activities. This appropriation also supports activities under 
the Working Capital Fund.

    This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology, 
research and development activities including laboratory and center 
supplies, certain operating expenses (including activities under the 
Working Capital Fund), contracts, grants, intergovernmental agreements, 
and purchases of scientific equipment. These activities provide the 
scientific and technology basis for EPA's regulatory actions.

    Superfund research costs are appropriated in the Hazardous Substance 
Superfund appropriation and transferred to this account to allow for 
proper accounting. A portion of funding provided through this account to 
support the mobile sources program is to be derived from fees charged 
for motor vehicle engine certifications that are deposited in the 
Environmental Services special fund.

    This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the 
Agency's five goals. Specifically in 2008, our emphasis will be placed 
on the following:

    Clean Air and Global Climate Change.--To protect and improve the air 
so it is healthy to breathe and to reduce risks to human health and the 
environment, EPA will conduct a range of science and technology 
activities. These include research on criteria air pollutants (ozone, 
particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, 
and lead) to develop the scientific basis for EPA's national ambient air 
quality standards. EPA also will support research on the effects to 
human health of toxic air pollutants as well as risk assessment 
methodologies. EPA will develop and implement regulatory programs that 
will significantly reduce emissions from highway and non-road sources. 
EPA will implement the renewable fuels provisions of the Energy Policy 
Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-79). In addition, EPA will develop tools for state 
and local governments to use in developing clean air plans to achieve 
air quality standards. The Agency aims to improve indoor environments 
through the provision of technical support and analysis to understand 
indoor air effects and the identification of potential health risks. The 
Agency will continue to work with the U.S. automobile industry to 
further the development of advanced automotive technologies. This effort 
will focus on developing cost-effective, near-term technologies for 
cleaner and more efficient cars and trucks that can run on both 
conventional and renewable fuels.

    Clean and Safe Water.--To ensure drinking water is safe, restore and 
maintain oceans, protect watersheds and their aquatic ecosystems, 
support economic and recreational activities, and provide healthy 
habitat for fish, plants, and wildlife, EPA will conduct research to 
support development of water quality and safe drinking water standards. 
A concerted effort will be made to help small communities meet the new 
drinking water standards for arsenic, microbial contaminants, and 
disinfection byproducts. EPA will work with States, tribes, drinking 
water and wastewater utilities, and other partners to enhance the 
security of water utilities. In 2008, EPA will continue the Water 
Security Initiative, a standardized, cost-effective approach that the 
water sector can implement to provide for coordinated surveillance and 
monitoring of drinking water systems. The Water Security Initiative will 
provide early warning of key threat agents. The last of the Water 
Security Initiative pilot systems will begin operations. Interim 
guidance issued in 2007 for design and consequence management will be 
refined to incorporate learning from the new pilot systems. 
Additionally, EPA will provide outreach and technical support to all 
water utilities serving greater than 100,000 people, including support 
for utility participation in emergency response exercises. EPA will also 
conduct research on effective beach evaluation tools, and work to 
enhance understanding of the structure and function of aquatic systems 
through the development of improved aquatic ecocriteria.

    Land Preservation and Restoration.--To preserve and restore the 
land, EPA will conduct research to provide improved methods for site 
characterization, risk assessment and exposure analysis, and mitigation 
approaches as well as multimedia modeling, technical reports and site-
specific technical support. Research will advance EPAs ability to 
accurately characterize the risks posed by contaminated sediments and 
determine the range and scientific foundation for remedy selection 
options. Groundwater research will focus on the transport of 
contaminants in that medium and the subsequent intrusion of contaminant 
vapors.

    Healthy Communities and Ecosystems.--To adequately protect or 
restore the health of communities and ecosystems using integrated and 
comprehensive approaches and partnerships, the Agency will conduct 
research in the areas of human health, ecosystems, mercury, global 
change, pesticides and toxics, endocrine disruptors, computational 
toxicology, nanotechnology and Homeland Security. The Agency also 
ensures a safe food supply by reviewing and licensing pesticides. Strong 
science allows the identification of the most important sources of risk 
to human health and the environment as well as the best means to detect, 
abate, and avoid possible environmental problems, and thereby guides 
EPAs priorities, policies, and deployment of resources.

    Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.--To improve environmental 
performance through compliance with environmental requirements, 
preventing pollution, and promoting environmental stewardship, and to 
protect human health and the environment by encouraging innovation and 
providing incentives for governments, businesses, and the public that 
promote environmental stewardship, EPA will conduct research on 
socioeconomics, decision making, sustainability, and new technology 
development. This research includes activities to encourage and support 
innovation and work with partners and stakeholders to effectively 
transfer technologies to the private sector for commercialization. The 
National Enforcement Investigations Center is the primary source of 
forensics expertise in EPA. It provides technical services not available 
elsewhere to support the needs of EPA Headquarters and Regional offices, 
other Federal agencies, and state and local environmental enforcement 
organizations.

    Enabling and Support Programs.--Enabling and Support Programs 
provide the people, facilities and systems necessary to operate the 
programs funded by the Science and Technology appropriations (S&T). The 
offices and the functions they perform are: Administration and Resources 
Management (facilities infrastructure and operations) and Environmental 
Information (IT/data management).

    This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts, 
grants, and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement, control, and 
compliance activities and administrative activities of the operating 
programs, including activities under the Working Capital Fund.

    This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the 
Agency's five goals. Specifically in 2008, EPA will emphasize the 
following:

    Clean Air and Global Climate Change.--To ensure that every American 
community has safe and healthy air to breathe, EPA will apply a variety 
of approaches and appropriate tools. EPA will develop and implement 
strategies to attain ambient air quality standards for ozone and 
particulate matter and reduce regional haze through regional approaches 
where significant transport of pollutants occurs. EPA will continue to 
develop and issue national technology-based and risk-based standards to 
reduce the quantity of toxic air pollutants emitted from industrial and 
manufacturing processes, as well as from urban sources. EPA will also 
develop control measures for mobile and stationary sources that are best 
regulated at the Federal level. The Acid Rain program will continue its 
market-based approach to achieving reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide 
and nitrogen oxides primarily from electric utilities. The market-based 
approach will also be used in other programs, such as implementation of 
the Clean Air Interstate Rule, to reduce emissions. EPA will continue to 
develop and implement voluntary outreach and partnership programs about 
indoor air quality to reduce potential risks to the public in homes, 
schools, and workplaces. Through these voluntary programs, EPA will 
disseminate information and work with State, tribal, and local 
governments; industry and professional groups; and the public to reduce 
exposures to possibly harmful indoor air pollutants, including radon. In 
addition, EPA will develop and promulgate standards, regulations and 
guidelines to reduce exposure from radiation sources. EPA will continue 
its domestic and international efforts to limit the production and use 
of ozone-depleting substances and develop safe alternative compounds 
under the Montreal Protocol. EPA also will continue its partnerships 
with businesses and other sectors to help reduce greenhouse gas 
intensity and contribute to cleaner air. In general, the voluntary 
government-industry partnership programs are designed to capitalize on 
the opportunities that consumers, businesses, and organizations have for 
making sound investments in efficient equipment, policies, practices, 
and transportation choices. EPA will continue to coordinate the 
implementation of the Methane-to-Markets initiative, which is designed 
to expand global efforts to capture and use methane as a clean 
alternative energy source. The Agency will also participate with other 
agencies in the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Development and 
Climate to help expand global efforts to increase energy efficiency and 
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

    Clean and Safe Water.--To provide the American public with water 
that is clean and safe to drink, EPA will focus on several key 
strategies. EPA's strategy for helping systems provide safe drinking 
water over the next several years includes developing or revising 
drinking water standards, supporting States, Tribes, and water systems 
in implementing standards, promoting sustainable management of water 
infrastructure, and protecting sources of drinking water from 
contamination. To better address the complexity of the remaining water 
quality challenges, EPA will promote local watershed approaches to 
achieving the best and most cost-effective solutions to local and 
regional water problems. EPA will facilitate the ecosystem-scale 
protection and restoration of natural areas by supporting continuing 
efforts of all 28 National Estuary Program estuaries to implement their 
Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans to protect and restore 
estuarine resources. EPA will continue support for ecosystem management 
and partnership collaboration through the three Great Waterbody 
programs--Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, and Gulf of Mexico. To protect 
and build on the gains of the past, EPA will focus on its core water 
programs. To maximize the impact of each dollar, EPA will continue to 
strengthen its vital partnerships with States, Tribes, local 
governments, and other parties that are also working toward the common 
goal of improving the Nation's waters. To leverage progress through 
innovation, EPA will promote water quality trading, water efficiency, 
and other market based approaches. EPA will help States implement 
nationally consistent water quality monitoring programs which will 
eventually allow the Agency to make a credible national assessment of 
water quality. High quality, current monitoring data is critical for 
EPA, States, and others to: make watershed-based decisions; develop 
necessary water quality standards and total maximum daily loads; and 
accurately and consistently portray conditions and trends.

    Land Preservation and Restoration.--To preserve and restore the 
land, EPA will use the most effective waste management and cleanup 
methods available. EPA will reduce adverse affects to land by reducing 
waste generation at its source,

[[Page 951]]

recycling waste, managing waste effectively by preventing spills and 
releases of toxic materials, and cleaning up contaminated properties. To 
reduce waste generation and increase recycling, EPA will (1) establish 
and expand partnerships with businesses, industries, Tribes, States, 
communities and consumers; (2) stimulate infrastructure development and 
environmentally responsible behavior by product manufacturers, users and 
disposers; and (3) help businesses, government, institutions and 
consumers reduce waste generation and increase recycling through 
education, outreach, training and technical assistance. EPA will 
continue the Resource Conservation Challenge (RCC) as a major national 
effort to find flexible, yet more protective ways to conserve our 
valuable natural resources through waste reduction, energy recovery, and 
recycling. Recognizing that some hazardous wastes cannot be completely 
eliminated or recycled, EPA will work to reduce the risks of exposure to 
hazardous wastes by maintaining a cradle-to-grave approach to waste 
management. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 contains numerous provisions 
that significantly affect Federal and State underground storage tank 
(UST) programs. The Energy Act requires that EPA and States strengthen 
tank release and prevention programs. In 2008, EPA will continue to 
focus attention on the need to bring all UST systems into compliance and 
keep them in compliance with the release detection and release 
prevention requirements. EPA's cleanup programs have set a national goal 
of returning formerly contaminated sites to long-term, sustainable and 
productive use. This goal creates greater impetus for selecting and 
implementing remedies that, in addition to providing clear environmental 
benefits, will support future land use and provide greater economic and 
social benefits. To further accomplish the national cleanup goals, the 
Agency will forge partnerships and develop outreach and educational 
strategies.

    Healthy Communities and Ecosystems.--To protect, sustain or restore 
the health of people, communities and ecosystems, EPA will focus on 
geographic areas with human and ecological communities at most risk. EPA 
is working to protect, sustain, and restore the health of natural 
habitats and ecosystems by identifying and evaluating problem areas, 
developing tools, and improving community capacity to address problems. 
For example, the President's Budget provides $6 million for the 
Chesapeake Bay Small Watersheds Grant program to implement innovative 
and cost-effective nonpoint source projects, which reduce nutrient 
discharges to the Bay. The Budget will also provide $1 million for 
restoration work in Puget Sound. The Puget Sound program will help fund 
critical nonpoint source and habitat restoration work.

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

    EPA plans to encourage the development of safer chemicals by 
minimizing or reducing the regulatory burdens on new chemicals that 
replace more hazardous chemicals already in the marketplace. The 
toxicity of wastes will be reduced by focusing on reductions in 
persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic chemicals. The Agency will also 
support the operations and management of the Brownfields program 
including training for organizations representing co-implementers of the 
Brownfields law and technical support for communities using federal 
funding to address general issues of vacant properties and 
infrastructure decisions.

    The United States will coordinate with other nations in multilateral 
efforts to protect the environment and human health. EPA will continue 
to promote formal bilateral and multilateral environmental agreements 
with key countries, execute environmental components of key foreign 
policy initiatives, and engage in regional and global negotiations aimed 
at reducing potential environmental risks via formal and informal 
agreements. EPA will continue to cooperate with other countries to 
ensure that domestic and international environmental laws, policies, and 
priorities are recognized and implemented and, where appropriate, 
promoted within the multilateral development assistance and trading 
system.

    The unprecedented changes in information technology over the past 
few years, combined with public demand for information, are altering the 
way the Agency and States collect, manage, analyze, use, secure, and 
provide access to quality environmental information. EPA is working with 
the States and Tribes to strengthen our information quality, leverage 
information maintained by other government organizations, and develop 
new tools that provide the public with simultaneous access to multiple 
data sets, allowing users to understand local, State, regional, and 
national environmental conditions. Key to achieving information quality 
will be the further development of the National Environmental 
Information Exchange Network, which is primarily an affiliation between 
EPA and the States and Tribes. EPA will continue to develop and define 
an approach to integrating, managing, and providing access to 
environmental information. EPA will continue to reduce reporting burden, 
improve data quality, and accelerate data publications by accelerating 
the replacement of paper-based submissions with electronic reporting 
under the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI).

    Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.--EPA will ensure full 
compliance with laws intended to protect human health and the 
environment. The Agency will use new and innovative approaches for 
compliance assistance and compliance incentives, as well as traditional 
enforcement activities, to promote compliance by the regulated 
community; set risk-based compliance and enforcement priorities; and 
strategically plan and target activities to address environmental 
problems associated with industry sectors and communities.

    Preventing pollution at the source is the Agency's preferred 
strategy for reducing risk and minimizing environmental impacts. The EPA 
works closely with industry to build pollution prevention into the 
design of manufacturing processes and products; and also partners with 
States, Tribes, and governments at all levels to find simple, voluntary, 
and cost-effective pollution prevention solutions. Through waste 
minimization partnerships, the Agency will reduce the volume of 
hazardous chemicals in industrial waste streams and the volume of waste 
generated.

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

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

[[Page 952]]

these centralized services provide support across the Agency, resources 
for the ESPs are allocated across the Agency's appropriations, goals and 
objectives.

    This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the 
Agency's five goals through grants to States and other partners. 
However, EPA faces difficulties in getting States, which receive over 38 
percent of EPA's budget, to report consistent, meaningful performance 
information. To address this issue, EPA will develop standardized 
templates for State grants that all States will use to submit their 
State grant agreements, including Performance Partnerships. The new 
template will clearly link to EPA's strategic plan, reducing or 
eliminating the need to translate State workplan information into EPA's 
strategic and annual goals. This action will increase accountability and 
make it easier to compare and analyze performance data over time and 
across States.

    Clean Air and Global Climate Change.--To ensure that every American 
community has safe and healthy air to breathe, EPA will offer media-
specific and multi-media Performance Partnership grants, and technical 
assistance to States and Tribes. This financial and technical aid will 
assist them in the development of their Clean Air Plans and support 
solutions that address local air needs. EPA will provide funds to States 
under section 105 of the Clean Air Act to improve air monitoring 
networks to obtain better data on emissions of particulate matter, 
ozone, air toxics, and regional haze. EPA will also provide funds to 
implement the clean diesel grant provisions of Title VII, Subtitle G of 
the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-79). Preference for these 
competitive grants will be given to applicants in areas that have not 
attained National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

    Clean and Safe Water.--This Agency goal is to ensure people are 
provided clean and safe water to drink. In support of this goal, EPA 
will provide capitalization grants for Clean Water State Revolving Funds 
(SRFs). The SRFs make low interest loans to communities and includes a 
set-aside for Tribes and Alaska Native Villages to construct wastewater 
treatment infrastructure, in addition to other projects that enhance 
water quality. As of early 2006, the Federal Government has invested 
more than $23 billion in grants to help capitalize the 51 SRFs. With the 
required State match, additional State contributions, and funds from 
program leveraging, funds made available for such loans total approxi

mately $55 billion. EPA's goal is for the Clean Water SRFs to attain an 
average long-term revolving level of $3.4 billion annually.

    Capitalization grants are also provided for the Drinking Water SRFs, 
which make low interest loans to public water systems and to Tribes and 
Alaska Native Villages to upgrade drinking water infrastructure to help 
them provide safe drinking water. The Administration committed to 
capitalizing the Drinking Water SRF through 2018, with the goal of an 
average annual long-term revolving level of $1.2 billion.

    Direct grants are also provided to help address the significant 
water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Alaska Native Villages. To 
address concerns identified in program reviews, the Agency is developing 
grant regulations for more transparent oversight of 100 percent of grant 
funds.

    EPA will support its partnerships with States and Tribes through 
media-specific and multi-media, and/or Performance Partnership grants 
to: (1) increase the number of community drinking water systems that 
meet all existing health-based standards, (2) protect watersheds by 
reducing point and nonpoint source pollution, (3) decrease the net loss 
of wetlands, and (4) address agricultural and urban runoff and storm 
water. EPA will work with its State and Tribal partners to develop and 
implement broad-based and integrated monitoring and assessment programs 
that strengthen their water quality standards, improve decision-making, 
target restoration within the watershed, address significant stressors, 
and report on condition.

    Land Preservation and Restoration.--Under the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA provides grants to States to strengthen 
their ability to implement hazardous waste programs. EPA also provides 
financial and technical assistance to eligible tribal governments and 
inter-tribal consortia. In 2008, EPA will provide grants or cooperative 
agreements for new activities authorized by Title XV, Subtitle B of the 
Energy Policy Act of 2005 that are not otherwise provided for in Section 
2007 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA). There will also be direct 
assistance through media-specific, and multimedia and/or Performance 
Partnership grants to enable Tribes to implement hazardous waste 
programs.

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

    To protect, sustain or restore the health of people, communities and 
ecosystems, EPA will focus on geographic areas with human and ecological 
communities at most risk. EPA is working to protect, sustain, and 
restore the health of natural habitats and ecosystems by identifying and 
evaluating problem areas, developing tools, and improving community 
capacity to address problems. EPA will help contribute to the 
President's goal of increasing wetlands through its innovative partner-
based wetlands and stream corridor restoration programs.

    EPA will fund brownfields projects resulting in 1,000 assessments, 
paving the way for productive reuse of these properties and bringing the 
cumulative number of sites assessed to over 9,000.

    The Agency will provide direct grant assistance for water and 
wastewater infrastructure projects on the U.S.-Mexico border. EPA has 
met its NAFTA commitment to provide a total of $700 million for drinking 
water and wastewater infrastructure needs in the area. However, in 
recognition of the continuing environmental and public health needs in 
the border area, the budget continues funding for these activities while 
taking into account the program's $300 million in unobligated balances.

    EPA plans to provide $13 million to States, territories, tribes, and 
inter-tribal consortia to help them develop their information management 
and technology capabilities. The purpose of this support is two-fold: to 
assist the Agency in providing ready access to real-time environmental 
information and to allow States to better integrate and share their 
environmental information.

    Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.--To promote compliance 
with laws intended to protect human health and the environment, EPA will 
offer media specific and multi-media funding to States and Tribes for 
compliance assurance activities including compliance assistance and 
incentives, inspections and enforcement activities. EPA also plans to 
offer media-specific and multimedia, and/or Performance Partnership 
grants to States and Tribes, focusing on pollution prevention.

    EPA received authority to establish a Working Capital Fund (WCF) and 
was designated a pilot franchise fund under Public Law 103-356, the 
Government Management and Reform Act of 1994. The Agency received 
permanent authority for the WCF in P.L. 105-65, which among other 
things, is intended to increase competition for governmental 
administrative services. EPA's WCF became operational in 1997 and 
includes two main activities: the Enterprise Technology Services 
Division's computer operations and Agency postage. The 2008 amount 
reflects only base resources and may change during the year as 
programmatic needs change.

    This appropriation provides funds for the implementation of the 
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 
1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities under the Working Capital 
Fund. This appropriation supports core Agency programs in four of the 
Agency's five goals. Specifically in 2008, emphasis will be placed on 
the following:

    Land Preservation and Restoration.--To preserve and restore land and 
to protect human health and the environment, EPA will prevent and reduce 
the risks posed by releases of harmful substances and will clean up and 
restore contaminated sites to beneficial use. EPA will apply the most 
effective methods to control the risks of harmful substances, improve 
response capabilities, and maximize the effectiveness of response and 
cleanup actions. EPAs cleanup and response work at contaminated sites 
will address environmental problems, such as contaminated soil and 
groundwater, in order to reduce human exposures to hazardous pollutants 
and provide long-term human health protection. EPA will ensure that all 
releases of harmful substances to the environment are appropriately 
addressed by responding to incidents and providing technical support. To 
effectively prepare for and respond to incidents of national 
significance, EPA will improve decontamination readiness, establish a 
nationwide environmental laboratory network, and maintain a highly 
skilled, trained, and equipped response workforce. EPA will conduct 
research to improve methods and models and provide technical support to 
accelerate scientifically defensible and cost-effective decisions for 
cleanup at complex contaminated sites in accordance with CERCLA. EPA 
will also work to maximize responsible parties participation in site 
cleanups while promoting fairness in the enforcement process, and pursue 
greater recovery of EPA's cleanup costs. To further carry out the 
responsibilities of CERCLA, EPA will also allocate funds from its 
appropriation to Federal agency partners.

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

    Enabling and Support Programs.--Enabling and Support Programs (ESPs) 
provide centralized management services

[[Page 959]]

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

           Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund Program

     For necessary expenses to carry out leaking underground storage 
tank cleanup activities authorized by section 205 of the Superfund 
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, and for construction, 
alteration, repair, rehabilitation, and renovation of facilities, not to 
exceed $85,000 per project, $72,461,000, to remain available until 
expended.

    Note.--A regular 2007 appropriation for this account had not been 
enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is 
operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 109-289, Division B, as 
amended). The amounts included for 2007 in this budget reflect the 
levels provided by the continuing resolution.

    The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund, authorized 
by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, as amended 
by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, the Taxpayer Relief 
Act of 1997, and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, provides funds for 
responding to releases from leaking underground petroleum tanks, 
including activities under the Working Capital Fund. The Trust Fund is 
financed by a 0.1 cent per gallon tax on motor fuels, which will expire 
after September 30, 2011.

    LUST funds are allocated to the states through cooperative 
agreements to clean up those sites posing the greatest threat to human 
health and the environment as authorized under Secton 9003(h) of the 
Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA). Funds are also used for grants to non-
state entities under section 8001 of the Resources Conservation and 
Recovery Act. Federally-recognized Indian Tribes receive grant funding 
under P.L. 105-276. EPA supports oversight, cleanup and enforcement 
programs which are implemented by the states. LUST Trust Fund dollars 
can be used for state-lead cleanups and for state oversight of 
responsible party cleanups.

    In addition, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 expanded the authorized 
activites for the underground storage tank program. H.R. 6111 recently 
amended section 9508 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to authorize 
expeditures from the Trust Fund for such activities. The program remains 
committed to completing 13,000 LUST cleanups, and continues to request 
funds only for cleanup purposes from the Trust Fund in 2008 in order to 
ensure a separate, dedicated source of cleanup funding. The 
Administration requests increased funding for preventative underground 
storage tank activities in the State and Tribal Grants account, while 
exploring options for funding those activities via the Trust Fund in 
2009.

    This appropriation supports core Agency programs and two of the 
Agency's five goals. Specifically in 2008, emphasis will be placed on 
the following:

    Land Preservation & Restoration.--The Leaking Underground Storage 
Tanks (LUST) program promotes rapid and effective responses to releases 
from Federally-regulated underground storage tanks (USTs) containing 
petroleum by enhancing state, local, and Tribal enforcement and response 
capability. In 2008, EPA's LUST Program priorities will continue to 
focus on increasing the efficiency of LUST cleanups nationwide; 
addressing contaminants of concern; and promoting the continued use, 
reuse, and long-term management of LUST sites. EPA will continue to help 
states and Tribes improve the LUST cleanup performance by targeting 
source water areas using a drinking water mapping application, 
continuing to develop and promote the use of innovative tools such as 
multi-site and geographical cleanup approaches, and optimizing the use 
of cleanup technologies and streamline cleanup decisions and processes. 
EPA also will continue its efforts to monitor the soundness of state 
cleanup funds and will continue to work with the states to complete 
cleanups and reduce the backlog of cleanups not yet completed.

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

    This appropriation provides for EPA's responsibilities for 
prevention, preparedness, and response activities authorized under the 
Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act 
of 1990 (OPA), including activities under the Working Capital Fund. This 
appropriation supports core Agency programs and the Agency's waste 
management goal. Specifically in 2008, emphasis will be placed on the 
following:

    Land Preservation and Restoration.--EPA will work to ensure that 
regulated facilities comply with the oil spill prevention, control and 
countermeasure provisions of the OPA. EPA will also direct response 
actions when appropriate. Funding of oil spill cleanup actions is 
provided through the Department of Homeland Security under the Oil Spill 
Liability Trust Fund. Oil spill research focuses on test protocol 
development, fate and transport modeling, and remediation.

    Enabling and Support Programs.--Enabling and Support Programs 
provide the infrastructure of people, facilities and systems necessary 
to operate the programs funded by the Oil Spill Response appropriation. 
The offices and the functions they perform are: Administration and 
Resources Management (facilities infrastructure and operations) and 
Environmental Information (IT/data management).

                        ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

     For fiscal year 2008, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 6303(1) and 
6305(1), the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, in 
carrying out the Agency's function to implement directly Federal 
environmental programs required or authorized by law in the absence of 
an acceptable tribal program, may award cooperative agreements to 
federally-recognized Indian Tribes or Intertribal consortia, if 
authorized by their member Tribes, to assist the Administrator in 
implementing Federal environmental programs for Indian Tribes required 
or authorized by law, except that no such cooperative agreements may be 
awarded from funds designated for state financial assistance agreements.
     The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency is 
authorized to collect and obligate pesticide registration service fees 
in accordance with section 33 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 
Rodenticide Act (as added by subsection (f)(2) of the Pesticide 
Registration Improvement Act of 2003), as amended.
     Notwithstanding other provisions of law, all grants issued under 
Title VII, Subtitle G of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as amended, will 
be given only to eligible entities for projects in areas not in 
attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for a criteria 
air pollutant.
     Section 9005(c)(2) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 
6991d(c)(2)) is amended by inserting after ``as appropriate, shall'',

[[Page 962]]

a subparagraph number ``(A)''; by deleting the period at the end and 
adding ``; or''; and by adding the following new subparagraph (B) at the 
end:
     ``(B) implement an alternative inspection program as a component of 
an integrated underground storage tank enforcement program, as approved 
by EPA. Such a program shall require owners or operators of underground 
storage tanks to conduct an annual self-evaluation and certification of 
each underground storage tank, and shall require each state to annually 
conduct targeted and for cause inspections and a statistically valid 
number of random inspections.''.
     None of the funds provided in this Act may be used, directly or 
through grants, to pay or to provide reimbursement for payment of the 
salary of a consultant (whether retained by the Federal Government or a 
grantee) at more than the daily equivalent of the rate paid for level IV 
of the Executive Schedule, unless specifically authorized by law.
