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.

[[Page 949]]

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

[[Page 954]]

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.

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.

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).

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
