This appropriation supports Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 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 the Congress are being achieved, and identify activities that could undermine the integrity,
efficiency, and effectiveness of EPA programs. Financial statement audits review financial systems and statements to ensure
that adequate controls are in place and EPA's accounting information is timely, accurate, reliable and useful, and complies
with applicable laws and regulations. Efficiency, risk assessment and program performance audits review the economy, efficiency,
and effectiveness of operations by examining EPA's structure and processes for achieving environmental goals, including assessing
risk, setting priorities, developing and implementing strategies to accomplish them, and measuring performance. Information
resource management audits review EPA information technology and systems to test the integrity of data and systems controls,
as well as compliance with a variety of Federal information security laws and requirements to ensure system and data integrity.
Cyber investigations identify and investigate attacks against EPA's computer and network systems to protect EPA resources,
infrastructure, and intellectual property. Additional funds for audit, evaluation, and investigative activities associated
with the Superfund Trust Fund are appropriated under that account and transferred to the Inspector General account to allow
for proper accounting. This appropriation also supports activities under the Working Capital Fund.

This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology, environmental monitoring, 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 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) policy and regulatory development actions. This appropriation
supports core Agency programs and each of the Agency's five goals. Specifically in 2013, its emphasis will be placed on the
following:
Taking Action on Climate Change and Improving Air Quality._To develop adaptation strategies to address climate change and improve air quality, EPA will conduct a range of science and
technology activities. These include research to inform the review of the national ambient air quality standards building
upon new science and work already performed to improve understanding of ozone, particulate matter, lead, sulfur dioxide, carbon
monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide. In 2013, the Air, Climate and Energy (ACE) research program will identify air quality benefits
associated with climate mitigation and adaptation choices to inform national and regional climate decisions. The program
also will conduct systems research and life cycle analysis to understand the production, operation, and impacts of energy
systems on health and the environment. Research on the generation, fate, transport, and chemical transformation of air emissions
will identify individual and population health risks to inform clean air management decisions in the context of a changing
climate and evolving energy use. The ACE research program also will conduct research on exposure to air toxics mixtures and
their dominant sources—including biomass combustion—that could inform policy decisions that may serve to lower the risk to
disadvantaged communities with the highest exposure to these air toxics. The integration of these program elements recognizes
the relationship between climate and air quality, and aims to promote sustainable energy production with minimal unintended
health and ecosystem consequences. Separate from the ACE research program, EPA will continue collecting air data to inform
implementation of the Cross State Air Pollution Rule, targeting power plant emissions that drift across the borders of Eastern
States and the District of Columbia. EPA will also develop, implement, and ensure compliance with regulatory programs that
will significantly reduce emissions from highway and non-road sources, including the implementation of greenhouse gas emission
standards for light-duty vehicles. EPA will continue to implement the renewable fuels provisions of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005 (P.L. 109–79) and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (P.L. 110–140). In addition, EPA will develop
tools for State and local governments and Tribes to use in developing clean air plans to achieve air quality standards. EPA
also 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.
Protecting Americas Waters._In 2013 through the Safe and Sustainable Water Research (SSWR) program, EPA will conduct research to meet the following science
needs articulated by EPA's water program: evaluating groups of contaminants for the protection of human health and the environment;
developing innovative tools, technologies, and strategies for managing water resources (including stormwater); and supporting
a systems approach for protecting and restoring aquatic systems. The systems approach includes research to inform setting
water quality criteria, establishing measures to assess and manage watersheds, and developing effective source control and
management methods, especially for urban uses. A major component of the research program is working to support EPA's Drinking
Water Strategy.
The SSWR program will address potential water supply endangerments associated with hydraulic fracturing. In addition to continuing
work associated with its ongoing study, EPA will coordinate with the Department of Energy and the U.S. Geological Survey to
understand and address potential impacts of natural gas development using hydraulic fracturing.
Within the SSWR program, green infrastructure research will continue to assess, develop, and compile scientifically rigorous
tools and models that will be used by EPA's Office of Water, States and municipalities.
Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._In 2013, the Sustainable and Healthy Communities (SHC) research program will develop decision support tools to enable communities'
decision makers to solve complex human health and environmental problems. The program will identify health risks and stressors,
especially those that disproportionately impact vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly.
The land preservation and restoration research has evolved from waste treatment to focus on beneficial reuse, avoidance of
more toxic materials, and operation of waste management facilities to conserve capacity and produce energy. Research will
address resource conservation and material reuse issues, as well as the application of alternative landfill covers and the
benefits of landfill bioreactors. Superfund research costs are appropriated to the Hazardous Substance Superfund Trust Fund
appropriation and transferred to this account to allow for proper accounting.
The SHC research program will incorporate the principles of sustainability into its research in many capacities to promote
sustainable environmental technologies with a focus on developing a new generation of smart technologies. Research on decision
support tools will also be a component of EPA's emphasis on sustainability.
Examples of the application of SHC's decision support tools include: integrating research on pesticide and toxic substances
with research on human health and ecosystems; mapping, monitoring, and modeling pollutants such as nitrogen; conducting ecosystem
type assessments, and assessing risk management decisions for human health. A component of this research will focus on decreasing
risks to vulnerable communities and groups that are disproportionately affected by existing problems.
EPA will continue to strengthen the future scientific workforce by awarding fellowships to students in pursuit of careers
and advanced degrees in environmental science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The program will conduct a long-term
assessment of EPA's laboratory network, reflecting EPA's efforts to collaborate across traditional program boundaries to support
national and regional decision making, thereby strengthening the Agency's ability to respond to environmental and public health
issues as "one EPA."
EPA's Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) program will generate health assessments that are used extensively by EPA Program
and Regional offices, and other parties to determine the potential risk to public health from exposure to environmental contaminants
to develop regulatory standards, and to manage environmental clean-ups. The HHRA research program provides the scientific
foundation for Agency actions to protect public health and the environment with four specific components:
(1) Integrated Risk Information System health hazard and dose-response assessments;
(2) Integrated Science Assessments of criteria air pollutants;
(3) Community Risk and Technical Support for exposure and health assessments; and
(4) Methods, models, and approaches to modernize risk assessment for the 21st century.
The Homeland Security research program will continue to support research efforts on evaluating chemical, biological, and radiological
analytical methods and event detection software, and calibration of the contaminant warning systems. The Homeland Security
research program will conduct research on decontamination and management of its consequences for public health, as well as
methods for protecting water infrastructures and assessing both threats, and their consequences. In 2013, as part of the Water
Security Initiative (WSI), EPA will focus on evaluation of data from the final four drinking water security pilots and the
development of tools to enable national adoption of contamination warning systems by the water sector. WSI is a pilot program
intended to demonstrate the concept of an effective contamination warning system that drinking water utilities could adopt.
The EPA also will continue to support water sector-specific agency responsibilities, including the Water Alliance for Threat
Reduction, to protect the nation's critical water infrastructure. EPA will also continue to integrate the regional laboratory
networks and the WSI pilot laboratories into a national, consistent program.
Ensuring the Safety of Chemicals and Preventing Pollution._The Chemical Safety and Sustainability (CSS) research program is building upon existing EPA research in chemical management
and extending efforts to develop innovative, transdisciplinary approaches and tools that inform more sustainable solutions
to the design and management of chemicals throughout their life cycle. Under the CSS program, development of enhanced chemical
screening and prioritizing testing approaches for smarter, context-relevant chemical assessment and management will not only
directly support regulation of existing pesticide and industrial chemicals, but also enhance green chemistry opportunities
for the design and use of new chemicals. CSS will identify and synthesize the best available scientific information on models,
methods, and analyses on chemicals of all types. CSS will also contribute to the Sustainable and Healthy Communities research
program by providing decision makers in individual localities and communities with research on contaminants of highest priority
for both humans and wildlife.
Impacts to people or the environment from chemicals can occur at any point from the extraction of raw materials to the chemical's
end of life when it is disposed of or recycled. In 2013, the CSS program will conduct research on the environmental impacts
of chemicals from a life cycle perspective. In addition, the CSS program will conduct research on integrated chemical evaluation
strategies. CSS will support the development and application of improved and new:
(1) Strategies and approaches for the efficient assessment and management of the thousands of existing and emerging chemicals
in commerce (i.e., knowing what, when, and how to test);
(2) Advanced computational tools for improving existing methods to understand inherent properties and predict behaviors and
impacts of chemicals and their related products throughout their life cycle;
(3) Approaches for alternative product formulations using green chemistry and engineering principles throughout their life
cycle that may lead to improved sustainability;
(4) Approaches to address issues of cumulative risk, chemical mixtures in the environment, exposure of vulnerable of populations,
and environmental equity; and
(5) Methods to translate research findings into decision support tools that are useful and usable to regulators and risk managers,
as well as to EPA's other research programs.
CSS will use Science to Achieve Results grants, also known as STAR grants, to develop centers for Life Cycle Chemical Safety
and Sustainable Molecular Design to promote innovative treatment designs and technologies approaches for mitigating potential
endocrine disruptors and other chemical contaminants from drinking water and wastewater treatment systems, and an understanding
of the exposure pathways relevant to reproductive endpoints and ecological organisms.
In 2013, the Agency will protect human health by ensuring the availability of appropriate analytical methods for detecting
pesticide residues in food and feed, ensuring suitability for monitoring pesticide residues, and enforcing tolerances. This
will be accomplished by developing and validating multi-residue pesticide analytical methods for food, feed, and water for
use by other Federal and State laboratories, and subsequently the program office. Laboratories further support the estimation
of human health risks from pesticide use by operating the National Pesticide Standard Repository (NPSR). The NPSR will also
protect the environment by supporting Federal and State laboratories involved in enforcement activities.
Enforcing Environmental Laws._In 2013, EPA's Forensics Support program will continue to provide specialized scientific and technical support for the nations
most complex civil and criminal enforcement cases, as well as technical expertise for Agency compliance efforts. This work
is critical to determining non-compliance and building viable enforcement cases. The EPA's National Enforcement Investigations
Center (NEIC) is a fully accredited environmental forensics center under International Standards Organization 17025, the main
standard used by testing and calibration laboratories, as recommended by the National Academy of Sciences. NEIC works closely
with the EPA Criminal Investigation Division to provide technical support (e.g. sampling, analysis, consultation and testimony)
to criminal investigations. NEIC also works closely with the Regional Offices to provide technical assistance, consultation,
on-site inspection, investigation, and case resolution services in support of the EPA's Civil Enforcement program.
NEIC will continue to apply its technical resources in support of EPA's national enforcement priorities, and support the technical
aspects of criminal investigations. Efforts to stay at the forefront of environmental enforcement in 2013 include focused
refinement of single and multi-media compliance monitoring investigation approaches, customized laboratory methods to solve
unusual enforcement case challenges, and applied research and development in both laboratory and field applications.
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. The offices and the functions they perform are: Administration and Resources Management
(facilities infrastructure and operations) and Environmental Information (information technology/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
2013, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will emphasize the following:
Taking Action on Climate Change and Improving Air Quality._To protect and improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, EPA will apply a variety of approaches and appropriate
tools. EPA will develop and implement strategies to attain ambient air quality standards for the six criteria pollutants:
ozone, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and lead. EPA will reduce regional haze through
regional approaches where significant transport of pollutants occurs. EPA will also develop control measures for sources that
are best regulated at the Federal level. EPA will continue to develop and issue national technology-based and risk-based standards
using a sector-based approach to reduce the quantity of toxic air pollutants emitted from industrial and manufacturing processes,
as well as from urban sources. EPA will proceed with performing analyses to develop New Source Performance Standards, consistent
with Clean Air Act requirements. The Acid Rain program will continue its market-based approach to achieving reduced emissions
of sulfur dioxide primarily from electric utilities. The market-based approach will also be used in other programs, where
permitted under the Clean Air Act, to reduce emissions of air pollutants. EPA will use its authority under the Clean Air Act
to continue efforts to reduce GHGs domestically and internationally through cost-effective, non-regulatory programs while
also pursuing regulatory options. Through implementation of the mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, EPA will work with
sources to obtain high quality data in a cost-effective manner. EPA will continue to provide support and oversight for local,
State, and Tribal permitting authorities to efficiently process GHG permits, as well as issue permits directly to sources
where there is no delegated permitting authority. EPA will continue partnerships with businesses and other sectors to help
reduce GHGs through the greater use of energy efficient technologies and products and contribute to cleaner air. The voluntary
government-industry partnership programs are designed to capitalize on the opportunities that consumers, businesses, and organizations
have for making sound investments in efficient equipment, policies, practices, and transportation choices. In recognition
that labeling of products under the Energy Star program can be considered a special benefit of a Government service, EPA will
pursue opportunities to institute user fees where appropriate. EPA will continue to coordinate the implementation of the Global
Methane Initiative to enhance global cooperation and expand efforts to capture and use methane as a clean alternative energy
source. EPA will also participate with other agencies to help global efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce GHG
emissions. EPA will implement voluntary outreach and partnership programs with State, Tribal, and local governments to improve
indoor air quality and reduce potential risks to the public (including radon) in homes, schools, and workplaces. In addition,
EPA will develop and use voluntary and regulatory programs, public information, and training to reduce public exposure to
radiation. EPA will focus its domestic and international efforts to ensure that ozone-depleting substance production and import
caps under the Montreal Protocol and Clean Air Act continue to be met.
Protecting America's Waters._To protect and restore our waters to ensure that drinking water is safe, and that aquatic ecosystems sustain fish, plants
and wildlife, as well as support economic, recreational, and subsistence activities, 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. 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. 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. EPA will implement the President's
Executive Order on the Chesapeake Bay, implementing a strategy to restore Bay water quality. EPA will continue to lead the
implementation of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The initiative provides $300 million for programs and projects strategically
chosen to target the most significant environmental problems in the Great Lakes ecosystem. This investment will allow for
implementation of important restoration activities emphasizing on-the-ground work to achieve the goals, objectives and targets
of the Initiative. EPA expects continued progress within each of the Initiative's focus areas: Toxic Substances and Areas
of Concerns, Invasive Species, Nearshore Health and Nonpoint Source, Habitat and Wildlife Protection and Restoration, and
Accountability, Education, Monitoring, Evaluation, Communication, and Partnerships. Appropriations language for this proposal
can be found in EPA's Administrative Provisions. EPA will help States implement nationally consistent water quality monitoring
programs which will eventually allow EPA to make a credible national assessment of water quality. High quality, current monitoring
data is critical for EPA, States, Tribes 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. In addition, EPA will continue
work with its Federal partners to support the safe deployment of carbon dioxide capture and storage technologies as a climate
mitigation strategy.
Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._EPA will work to preserve land by ensuring proper management of waste, reducing waste generation and increasing recycling.
EPA will continue to assist States in putting in place and maintaining permits at facilities that treat, store or dispose
of hazardous waste. Although States are the primary implementers of the Corrective Action program which requires facilities
managing hazardous waste to clean up past releases, EPA directly implements the program in 13 States and provides technical
support and oversight for State-led activities. To achieve EPA's waste management goals, EPA will: (1) maintain partnerships
with businesses, industries, Tribes, States, communities, and consumers; (2) promote environmentally responsible behavior
by product manufacturers, users and disposers; and (3) encourage businesses, government, institutions and consumers to reduce
waste generation and increase recycling through education, outreach, training, and technical assistance. EPA will also continue
to work with States in order to bring all underground storage tank systems into compliance and keep them in compliance with
the release detection and release prevention requirements outlined in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. EPA works with State,
local, and Tribal partners to help protect the public and the environment from releases of hazardous substances from chemical
handling facilities by helping them develop area-wide emergency response and contingency plans. EPA conducts audits and inspections
of those facilities handling more than a threshold quantity of certain extremely hazardous chemicals that are required to
implement a Risk Management Program to prevent releases. EPA will also support the operations and management of the Brownfields
program, including training and technical support to assist communities to address general issues associated with properties
of which redevelopment or reuse may be complicated by the presence of contamination. EPA is committed to ensuring environmental
justice regardless of race, color, national origin, or income. Recognizing that minority and/or low-income communities may
be exposed disproportionately to environmental harm and risks, EPA works to protect these communities from adverse health
and environmental effects and to ensure they are given the opportunity to participate meaningfully in environmental clean-up
decisions. EPA's Environmental Justice program will continue to incorporate environmental justice considerations in the rulemaking
process. EPA will apply effective methods suitable for determining whether disproportionate environmental health impacts on
minority, low-income, and tribal populations exist.
Ensuring the Safety of Chemicals and Preventing Pollution._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's toxics program will continue to make
substantial progress in protecting public health and the environment from harmful industrial chemicals by assessing the safety
of new and existing chemicals, reducing gaps in the data available, strengthening chemical information management, and promoting
greater transparency. EPA will also continue its efforts to alleviate health risks from exposure to lead-based paint and other
sources of lead in the environment. EPA's Pollution Prevention (P2) program will continue to provide technical assistance,
information and supporting assessments to encourage the use of greener chemicals, technologies, processes and products through
eight programs: Environmentally Preferable Purchasing, Design for the Environment, Green Suppliers Network, Regional Grants,
Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange, Partnership for Sustainable Healthcare, Green Chemistry, and Green Engineering. In
addition, EPA's P2 program will continue to support the new Economy, Energy and Environment partnership among Federal agencies,
local governments and manufactures to promote energy efficiency, job creation and environmental improvement.
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 the Administration's 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.
Combined with public demand for information, the unprecedented changes in information technology over the past few years are
altering the way EPA, States, and Tribes 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, Tribal, 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 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.
Enforcing Environmental Laws._EPA will implement a strong enforcement and compliance program focused on identifying and reducing non-compliant actions and
deterring future non-compliant actions that violate the law. To improve compliance with environmental laws, regulated entities,
Federal agencies, and the public benefit from easy access to tools that help them understand these laws and find efficient,
cost-effective means for putting them into practice. EPA's enforcement program targets inspections and other compliance monitoring
activities according to the degree of health and environmental risk. The program collaborates with the Department of Justice,
States, local government agencies, and Tribal governments to ensure consistent and fair enforcement of all environmental laws
and regulations. The program seeks to aggressively pursue violations that threaten communities, ensure a level economic playing
field by ensuring that violators do not realize an economic benefit from noncompliance, and deter future violations. The Civil
Enforcement program develops, litigates, and settles administrative and civil judicial cases against serious violators of
environmental laws. The Criminal Enforcement program deters and punishes violators of environmental laws by holding them accountable
through jail sentences and criminal fines. Bringing criminal cases sends a strong deterrence message to potential violators,
enhances aggregate compliance with laws and regulations and protects our communities. In 2013, EPA is emphasizing the use
of 21st century technology to streamline monitoring and reporting, improve transparency, more accurately gauge compliance,
identify high-risk facilities, and better engage the public.
Enabling and Support Programs._EPA's Enabling and Support Programs (ESPs) provide centralized management services and support to 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/institutional assistance grants); Environmental Information
(exchange network, information security, information technology/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 and legal advice). Since these
centralized services provide support across EPA, resources for the ESPs are allocated across EPA's appropriations, goals,
and objectives.

This appropriation supports core Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs and each of the EPA's five goals through grants
to States, Tribes and other partners. EPA is using common elements for State and Tribal grant agreements, including Performance
Partnerships. The elements clearly link to EPA's strategic plan to relate State workplan information into EPA's strategic
and annual goals.
Taking Action on Climate Change and Improving Air Quality._To reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and address climate change and protect and improve air quality for every American
community, 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, support solutions
that address local air needs, and provide support for development of state programs that address GHG emissions. EPA will
provide funds to States and Tribes under section 105 of the Clean Air Act to improve air monitoring networks to obtain better
data on emissions of criteria pollutants and air toxics. EPA issued air quality standards for a new pollutant, fine particulate
matter, in the late 1990s. Since that time, EPA has funded State and local fine particulate monitoring networks using the
requirements of section 103 of the Clean Air Act, as authorized in annual appropriation bills. Section 103 provides full
funding for pilot programs, demonstrations, research, and other one-time activities; section 105 requires State and local
agencies to provide matching funds of at least 40 percent of the amount required for the entire continuing State or local
clean air program. EPA is committed to continuing a transition to incorporate funding for fine particulate monitoring into
the funding authorized by section 105 of the Clean Air Act for continuing State and local clean air programs. Using funds
provided by EPA under sections 103 and 105, States and Tribes will prepare State Implementation Plans and Tribal Implementation
Plans to achieve the revised, more protective National Ambient Air Quality Standards; implement new monitoring requirements,
including technological upgrades and additional monitoring stations; and support the National Air Toxics Trends Stations monitoring
network. Additionally, EPA will provide funds to States to support the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, facilitating States'
collection, review, and use of GHG emissions data.
Protecting America's Waters._This Agency goal is to reduce human exposure to contaminants in drinking water, fish and shellfish, and recreational waters
and to protect and restore watersheds and aquatic ecosystems. In 2013, EPA will continue to work with State and local partners
to develop policies that promote the use of water resources in ways that are both ecologically and economically sustainable.
In support of this goal, EPA will provide $1.2 billion for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF). The Clean Water SRF
makes low interest loans to communities and includes a set-aside for Tribes and U.S. Territories to construct wastewater treatment
infrastructure, in addition to other projects that enhance water quality. The Federal Government has invested over $33 billion
in grants to help capitalize the 51 Clean Water SRFs. With the required State match, additional State contributions and funds
from program leveraging, funds made available for such Clean Water loans total over $89.5 billion. The SRFs also will support
green infrastructure, as not less than 20 percent of the Clean Water fund shall be used by the State for projects to address
green infrastructure, water or energy efficiency improvements, or other environmentally innovative activities. For fiscal
year 2013, not less than 10 percent of funds provided to States under the Drinking Water State Revolving Funds may be used
for projects to address green infrastructure, water or energy efficiency improvements, or other environmentally innovative
activities. The Budget also requests $850 million for the Drinking Water SRF, which makes low interest loans to public water
systems and to Tribes and U.S. Territories to upgrade drinking water infrastructure to help them provide safe drinking water.
Direct grants are also provided to help address the significant water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Alaska Native
Villages. EPA has implemented a management plan that optimizes the pace of the program. EPA will strengthen State core water
quality protection and water enforcement programs. EPA 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.
EPA will support its partnerships with States, Tribes, and partners 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) increase the acreage and improve the condition
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
conditions.
Furthermore, EPA will enhance efforts to address nutrient pollution through working collaboratively with U.S. Department of
Agriculture in high priority, focused watersheds and providing funding to States to undertake nutrient pollution reductions,
including $15 million in Clean Water Act Section 106 grants.
Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._Land is one of America's most valuable resources and cleaning up our communities to create a safe environment for all Americans
while encouraging more sustainable development is critical to the future of our country. Hazardous and non-hazardous wastes
on the land can migrate to the air, groundwater and surface water, contaminating drinking water supplies, causing acute illnesses
or chronic diseases, and threatening healthy ecosystems in urban, rural, and suburban areas.
Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, 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 2013, EPA will provide grants or cooperative agreements to States for underground storage
tank release prevention and detection programs. There will also be direct assistance through media-specific, and multimedia
and/or Performance Partnership grants to enable Tribes to implement hazardous waste programs. EPA will also fund brownfields
projects resulting in assessments and clean-up activities that assist communities in paving the way for the productive reuse
of contaminated properties and abandoned sites.
In addition, EPA provides grants to assist States, Tribes, and partners with worker safety activities, protection of endangered
species and water sources, and promotion of environmental stewardship. To protect, sustain or restore the health of people,
communities and ecosystems, EPA will focus on the 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.
Under Federal environmental statutes, EPA is responsible for protecting human health and the environment in Tribal country.
EPA works with over 500 Federally recognized Tribes located across the United States to improve environmental and human health
outcomes. Tribal country totals more than 70 million acres with reservations ranging from less than 10 acres to more than
14 million acres. Difficult environmental and health challenges remain in many of these areas, including lack of access to
safe drinking water, sanitation, adequate waste facilities, and other environmental safeguards taken for granted elsewhere.
EPA plans to provide $10 million to States, U.S. 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 and Tribes to better integrate and share their environmental
information.
Ensuring the Safety of Chemicals and Preventing Pollution._EPA will continue to provide grant assistance to States, U.S. Territories, the District of Columbia, and Tribes to develop
and implement authorized programs for lead paint remediation, including programs to train and certify individuals engaged
in remediation activities. Another priority for 2013 will be the implementation of a new regulation to address lead-safe
work practices for renovation, repair, and painting activities.
In 2013, EPA will continue the Pesticide Program Implementation State and Tribal Assistance Grants activities which cover
worker protection, endangered species, coordination with States, Tribes, and other Federal agencies, certification and training
of pesticide applicators, coordination with other agencies, pesticides environmental stewardship, and Integrated Pest Management
(IPM). EPA will also continue the grant program for States and Tribes, to test innovative pollution prevention (P2) approaches
and to provide P2 technical assistance to companies.
Enforcing Environmental Laws._To promote compliance with laws intended to protect human health and the environment, EPA will continue to award State and
Tribal grants to assist in the implementation of compliance and enforcement provisions of environmental laws. EPA will provide
funding to States and Tribes for compliance assurance activities including inspections and enforcement case support activities.
Through grants for pesticide enforcement, EPA will support State and Tribal compliance and enforcement activities designed
to protect the environment from harmful chemicals and pesticides. These grants also will help States and Tribes to protect
underserved and vulnerable populations by conducting compliance (inspection) and enforcement activities, including those related
to worker protection standards and those at pesticide producing establishments. Toxic Substance compliance grants help protect
the public and the environment from polychlorinated biphenyls, asbestos, and lead-based paint. Funds are used to train inspectors,
including the train-the-trainer program; provide inspection equipment including sampling and personal protective equipment;
and fund travel and salary costs associated with conducting inspections.

The Environmental Protection Agency (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. EPA received permanent
authority for the WCF in P.L. 105–65, as part of an effort to increase competition for governmental administrative services.
EPA's WCF became operational in 1997 and funds four main activities: information technology and telecommunications operations,
managed by the Office of Environmental Information; Agency postage costs, managed by the Office of Administration; and the
core accounting system and employee relocations, managed by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer. The 2013 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 Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) programs in four of EPA's five goals. Specifically in 2013, emphasis will be placed on the following:
Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._To preserve and restore land and to protect human health and the environment, EPA will reduce the risks posed by releases
of harmful substances and protect against exposure to those substances by cleaning up and restoring contaminated sites to
beneficial use. EPA will apply the most effective methods to control the risks associated with the presence of harmful substances,
improve response capabilities, and maximize the effectiveness of response and clean-up actions. EPA's clean-up and response
activity at contaminated sites will address environmental concerns, such as the removal of contaminated soil and treatment
of contaminated 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, continue to support 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 clean-up at complex contaminated
sites in accordance with CERCLA. EPA will also work to maximize responsible parties' participation in site clean-ups and
pursue greater recovery of EPA's clean-up costs.
Enforcing Environmental Laws._EPA's Superfund Enforcement program protects communities by requiring responsible parties to pay for and/or conduct clean-ups.
The program uses an enforcement first approach that maximizes the participation of liable and viable parties in performing
and paying for clean-ups in both the remedial and removal programs. To further carry out the responsibilities of CERCLA,
EPA will allocate funds from its appropriation to Federal agency partners including to the Department of Justice (DOJ). DOJ
supports EPA's Superfund Enforcement program through negotiations and judicial actions to compel Potentially Responsible Parties
to clean up and through litigation to recover Trust Fund monies. EPA will investigate and refer for prosecution criminal and
civil violations of CERCLA.
Enabling and Support Programs (ESP)._ESPs provide centralized management services and support to the Agency's various environmental programs. The offices and the
functions they perform within the Superfund appropriation are: the Offices of Administration and Resources Management (facilities
infrastructure and operations, acquisition management, human resources management services, and management of financial assistance
grants/institutional assistance grants); Environmental Information (exchange network, information security, information technology/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 EPA, resources for the ESPs are allocated across EPA'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 (EPAct) of 2005, provides funds for preventing and responding to releases from underground storage 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 March 30, 2012. Legislation will be proposed to reauthorize the tax.
LUST funds are allocated to States through cooperative agreements to clean up sites posing the greatest threat to human health
and the environment as authorized under Section 9003(h) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, as amended, and also to implement
the activities authorized by Title XV, Subtitle B of EPAct. Funds are also used for grants to non-State entities under Section
8001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended. Federally recognized Tribes receive grant funding
under P.L. 105–276. EPA supports oversight, clean-up, and enforcement programs which are implemented by the States. LUST
Trust Fund dollars can be used for State-led clean-ups and for State oversight of responsible party clean-ups. In addition,
EPAct expanded the authorized activities for the underground storage tank program. This appropriation supports core Agency
programs and two of EPA's five goals. Specifically in 2013, emphasis will be placed on the following:
Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._The LUST program promotes rapid and effective responses to releases from Federally regulated underground storage tanks containing
petroleum by enhancing State, local, and Tribal enforcement and response capability. EPA's LUST program priorities include:
increasing the efficiency of LUST clean-ups; addressing contaminants of concern; and promoting the continued use, reuse, and
long-term management of LUST sites. EPA will help States and Tribes improve LUST clean-up performance by performing analyses
and developing strategies to reduce the backlog of open releases, continuing to develop and promote the use of innovative
tools such as multi-site and geographical clean-up approaches, providing guidance and technical support regarding clean -up
approaches and technologies, and streamlining clean-up decisions and processes. EPA will also continue efforts to monitor
the soundness of State clean-up funds. EPA's release prevention program priorities will assist States and Tribes to ensure
continued compliance with the three year inspection requirement, implement the various release prevention provisions of EPAct
such as operator training and delivery prohibition, enforce violations discovered during the inspections, and continue building
tribal implementation capacity.
Enforcing Environmental Laws._To protect the Nation's groundwater and drinking water from petroleum releases from Underground Storage Tanks (UST), this
program provides compliance assistance tools, technical assistance and training to promote and enforce UST systems compliance
and clean-ups.
Enabling and Support Programs._Enabling and Support Programs provide the infrastructure of people, facilities, and systems necessary to operate the programs
funded by the LUST appropriation. The offices and the functions they perform are: Administration and Resources Management
(facilities infrastructure and operations, acquisition management, and human resources management services); Environmental
Information (information technology/data management); and the Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning, annual planning
and budgeting, financial services, financial management, analysis, and accountability).

This appropriation provides for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) 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 two of the
Agency's five goals. Specifically in 2013, emphasis will be placed on the following:
Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._The Oil Spill program protects U.S. waters by preventing, preparing for, responding to, and monitoring oil spills. EPA conducts
oil spill prevention, preparedness, and enforcement activities associated with more than 600,000 non-transportation-related
oil storage facilities that EPA regulates through its spill prevention program. The Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasures
regulation and the Facility Response Plan regulation establish the Oil Spill program regulatory framework, while the National
Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan establishes the framework for EPA's preparedness and response responsibilities.
EPA accesses the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard, to obtain reimbursement for site-specific
spill response activities. More than 30,000 oil and hazardous substance releases occur in the U.S. every year, with a significant
portion of these spills occurring in the inland zone over which EPA has jurisdiction. EPA develops and uses its protocols
for testing various spill response product classes to pre-qualify products for potential use in spill response as required
by the preparedness and response requirements of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. Testing products ensures their effectiveness
and toxicity characteristics which can, in turn, be used by the on-scene coordinator and regional response teams in making
informed decisions regarding the use of certain products in response to specific spills. EPA will be focusing its oil spill
research efforts on ecological effects and assessment of shoreline and coastal impacts from oil spills and dispersant use,
human health impacts, and spill remediation alternatives and innovative technology development and evaluation, including green
technologies. Spill response is a priority for the Agency, and EPA has been instrumental in providing guidance for various
response technologies. A key factor in providing guidance on spill response technologies is developing a firm understanding
of the science behind spill behavior in the environment.
Enforcing Environmental Laws._The Inland Oil Spill Programs appropriation portion of the Civil Enforcement program is designed to prevent oil spills using
civil enforcement and compliance assistance approaches, as well as to prepare for and respond to any oil spills affecting
the inland waters of the United States. Pursuant to Clean Water Act Section 311 (Oil Spill and Hazardous Substances) requirements,
EPA's Civil Enforcement program will develop policies, issue administrative clean-up orders and/or refer civil judicial actions
to the Department of Justice, assess civil penalties for violations of those orders or for spills into the environment, provide
compliance assistance to regulated entities to assist them in understanding their legal requirements under the Clean Water
Act, and assist in the recovery of clean-up costs expended by the government.
Enabling and Support Programs._Enabling and Support Programs provide the infrastructure of people, facilities and systems necessary to operate the programs
funded by the Inland Oil Spill Programs appropriation. The office and function performed is Administration and Resources Management
(facilities infrastructure and operations).
