Naval Reactors._This account funds all naval nuclear propulsion work. It begins with reactor technology development and design, continues
through reactor operation and maintenance, and ends with reactor plant disposal. The program ensures the safe and reliable
operation of reactor plants in nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers (constituting over 40 percent of the Navy's
combatants), and fulfills the Navy's requirements for new nuclear propulsion plants that meet current and future national
defense requirements. Due to the crucial nature of nuclear reactor work, Naval Reactors is a centrally managed organization.
Federal employees oversee and set policies/procedures for developing new reactor plants and operating existing nuclear plants
and the facilities that support these plants.

Programs funded within the Weapons Activities appropriation support the Nation's current and future defense posture, and its
attendant nationwide infrastructure of science, technology and engineering capabilities. Weapons Activities provides for the
maintenance and refurbishment of nuclear weapons to continue sustained confidence in their safety, reliability, and performance;
continued investment in scientific, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities to enable certification of the enduring nuclear
weapons stockpile; and manufacture of nuclear weapon components. Weapons Activities also provides for continued maintenance
and investment in the NNSA nuclear complex to be more responsive and cost effective. The major elements of the program include
the following:
Directed Stockpile Work._Encompasses all activities that directly support the nuclear weapons stockpile. These activities include: maintenance and
surveillance; planned refurbishment; reliability assessment; weapon dismantlement and disposal; and research, development,
and certification technology efforts to meet stockpile requirements.
Campaigns._Focuses on scientific, technical, and engineering efforts to develop and maintain critical capabilities, tools, and processes
needed to support science based stockpile stewardship, weapons refurbishments, and continued certification of the stockpile
over the long-term in the absence of underground nuclear testing.
Readiness in Technical Base and Facilities._Provides the underlying physical infrastructure and operational readiness for the nuclear security enterprise. RTBF ensures
essential weapon activity capabilities are available and the facilities are operational, safe, secure, and compliant with
regulatory requriements. RTBF provides these services through both a defined level of readiness as well as capability and
facility investments.
Secure Transportation Asset._Provides for the safe, secure movement of nuclear weapons, special nuclear material, and weapon components to meet projected
DOE, Department of Defense (DOD), and other customer requirements. The Program Direction in this account provides for the
secure transportation workforce, including the Federal agents.
Nuclear Counterterrorism Incident Response (NCTIR)._Strategically manages people with specialized expertise and equipment to provide a technically trained response to nuclear
or radiological incidents worldwide, mitigates nuclear or radiological threats through research and development and provides
interagency training and support to the Nation from the threat of nuclear terrorism.
Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation (CTCP)._Advances the U.S. Government counterrorism and counterproliferation goals through innovative science, technology, and policy-driven
solutions. The CTCP programs consolidate the Nuclear Counterterrorism subprogram for the NCTIR program and the Nations Security
Applications program into an integrated program of technical work that materially contributes to the Department of Energy's
goal of enhancing nuclear security through preventing nuclear terrorism.
Site Stewardship._Ensures the overall health and viability of the NNSA, DOE, and other national missions, with a focus on maintaining environmental
compliance, dispositioning of nuclear materials, and developing the needed skills and talent for NNSA's enduring technical
workforce at the labs and production plants.
Defense Nuclear Security._Provides protection for NNSA personnel, facilities, and nuclear weapons from a full spectrum of threats, most notably terrorism.
Provides for all safeguards and security requirements including protective forces and systems at all NNSA sites including
protective forces and systems.
NNSA Chief Information Officer Activities._Provides for research and development of information technology and cyber security solutions such as identity, credential,
and access management to help meet energy security, proliferation resistance, and climate goals.
NNSA's request reflects the partnership between NNSA and DOD to maintain and modernize the nuclear deterrent. DOD's NNSA Program
Support account has the amounts for Weapons Activities that are shown in the table below, underscoring the close link between
these activities and DOD nuclear weapons-related requirements and missions. OMB will ensure that future budget year allocations
to NNSA occur in the required amounts.

Programs funded within the Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation appropriation account support the mission to: 1) prevent the spread
of materials, technology, and expertise relating to weapons of mass destruction (WMD); 2) advance the technologies to detect
the proliferation of WMD worldwide; 3) eliminate or secure inventories of surplus materials and infrastructure usable for
nuclear weapons; and 4) respond to nuclear or radiological incidents worldwide. The programs address the danger that hostile
nations or terrorist groups may acquire WMD or weapons-usable material, dual-use production technology, or WMD expertise.
The major elements of the appropriation account include the following:
Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI)._The GTRI mission is to reduce and protect vulnerable nuclear and radiological materials located at civilian sites worldwide.
The GTRI program directly supports the international effort, initiated by President Obama's Prague Agenda, to secure all vulnerable
nuclear material around the world. GTRI supports DOE's Strategic Plan goal to reduce nuclear dangers by preventing terrorists
from acquiring nuclear and radiological materials that could be used in WMD or acts of terrorism by: 1) converting or verifying
the permanent shutdown of research reactors and isotope production facilities from the use of highly enriched uranium to low
enriched uranium, 2) removing and disposing of excess nuclear and radiological materials, and 3) protecting highly-priority
nuclear and radiological materials from theft. These three key aspects of GTRI-convert, remove, and protect-together provide
a comprehensive approach to achieving its mission and denying terrorists access to nuclear and radiological materials.
Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D)._This program drives the innovation of unilateral and multi-lateral technical capabilities to detect, identify, and characterize:
1) foreign nuclear weapons programs, 2) illicit diversion of special nuclear materials, and 3) nuclear detonations. To meet
national and departmental nuclear security requirements, DNN R&D leverages the unique facilities and scientific skills of
the Department of Energy, academia, and industry for the performance of research, conduct of technology demonstrations, and
development of prototypes for integration into operational systems.
Nonproliferation and International Security (NIS)._The NIS mission is to prevent and counter the proliferation of WMD, including materials, technologies, and expertise, by states
and non-state actors. The program provides policy and technical support for nonproliferation and associated treaties and agreements,
domestic and international legal and regulatory controls, and diplomatic and counter-proliferation initiatives, and it cooperates
with international organizations and foreign partners on export controls, safeguards, and security. The program makes vital
contributions to strengthen international security and the nuclear nonproliferation regime in four main areas: (1) Nuclear
Safeguards and Security, (2) Nuclear Controls, (3) Nuclear Verification, and (4) Nonproliferation Policy. Working in concert,
these programs: safeguard and secure materials and facilities, detect and prevent illicit traffficking of materials, technology
and expertise; develop policy and technical solutions for transparent nuclear reductions and treaty monitoring and compliance;
and develop crosscutting policy and tecnical solutions and programs and strategies to strengthen international security and
the nuclear nonproliferation regime.
International Materials Protection and Cooperation (IMPC)._ The IMPC program supports one of the President's top priorities to lead a global effort to secure all nuclear weapons materials
at vulnerable sites -the most effective way to prevent terrorists from acquiring a nuclear bomb. The IMPC program prevents
nuclear terrorism by working in Russia and other regions of concern to: 1) secure vulnerable nuclear weapons and weapons materials,
and 2) install and sustain mobile and fixed detection equipment at international crossing points and ports to prevent and
detect the illicit transfer of nuclear material. The program continues to improve the security of nuclear material and nuclear
warheads in Russia and other countries of proliferation concern by installing Material, Protection, Control and accounting
(MPC&A) upgrades and providing sustainability support to sites with previously installed MPC&A upgrades. Reducing the potential
for diversion of nuclear materials and deterring, detecting, and interdicting material outside of regulatory control is a
critical national security priority for the United States.
Fissile Materials Disposition (FMD)._The program goal is to dispose of surplus Russian and U.S. weapon-grade plutonium and and highly enriched uranium. To dispose
of U.S. plutonium, the program has been building the Mixed Oxide (MOX) Fuel Fabrication Facility, which would enable the Department
of Energy to dispose of plutonium by fabricating it into MOX fuel and irradiating it in commercial nuclear reactors. A review
of this approach has determined that the MOX fuel approach is significantly more expensive than planned and it is not viable
within the FY 2015 funding levels. The Department of Energy is developing alternative approaches to plutonium disposition
and will engage with stakeholders to determine a viable alternative. As a result, the MOX project will be placed in cold standby
while an alternative approached is determined. The Administration remains firmly committed to the overarching goals of the
plutonium disposition program to: 1) dispose of excess U.S. plutonium; and 2) achieve Russian disposition of equal quantities
of plutonium. The Administration recognizes the importance of the U.S.-Russia Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement
(PMDA), whereby each side committed to dispose of at least 34 metric tons of weapon-grade plutonium.

The Defense Environmental Cleanup program is responsible for protecting human health and the environment by identifying and
reducing risks, as well as managing waste and facilities, at sites where the Department carried out defense-related nuclear
research and production activities. Those activities resulted in radioactive, hazardous, and mixed -waste contamination requiring
remediation, stabilization, decontamination and decommissioning, or some other type of cleanup action. The budget displays
the cleanup program by site.
Closure Sites._Funds post-closure administration costs after the physical completion of cleanup, including costs for contract closeout and
litigation support.
Hanford Site._Funds cleanup and environmental restoration to protect the Columbia River and surrounding communities. The Hanford site cleanup
is managed by two Environmental Management (EM) site offices: the Richland Operations Office and the Office of River Protection.
The Richland Office is responsible for cleanup activities on most of the geographic area making up the Hanford site. The primary
cleanup focus is decontamination and decommissioning legacy facilities and enhancing contaminated groundwater characterization
and treatment.
The Office of River Protection is responsible for the safe storage, retrieval, treatment, immobilization, and disposal of
56 million gallons of radioactive waste stored in 177 underground tanks. It is also responsible for related operation, maintenance,
engineering, and construction activities, including those connected to the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant being
built to solidify the liquid tank waste in a glass form that can be safely stored.
Idaho._Funds retrieval, treatment, and disposition of nuclear and hazardous wastes .
NNSA Sites._Funds the safe and efficient cleanup of the environmental legacy past operations at National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) sites including Los Alamos National Laboratory, Nevada National Security Site, Sandia National Laboratories, Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory, and the Separations Process Research Unit. The cleanup strategy follows a risk-informed approach
that focuses first on those soil and groundwater contaminant plumes and sources that are the greatest contributors to risk.
The overall goal is first to ensure that risks to the public and workers are controlled, then to clean up soil and groundwater
using a risk-informed methodology. NNSA is responsible for long-term stewardship of its sites after physical cleanup is completed.
Oak Ridge._Funds defense-related cleanup of the three facilities that make up the Oak Ridge Reservation: the East Tennessee Technology
Park, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Y-12 Plant. The overall cleanup strategy is based on surface water considerations,
encompassing five distinct watersheds that feed the adjacent Clinch River.
Savannah River Site._Funds the safe stabilization, treatment, and disposition of legacy nuclear materials, spent nuclear fuel, and waste at the
Savannah River site. Activities include operating the Defense Waste Processing Facility, which is solidifying waste contained
in underground tanks, and the Actinide Removal Process and Modular Caustic Side Solvent Extraction units being used to separate
various tank waste components for treatment. In addition, it includes construction of the Salt Waste Processing Facility.
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant._Funds the world's first permitted deep geologic repository for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste, and the Nation's
only disposal site for defense-generated transuranic waste. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, managed by the Carlsbad Field
Office, is an operating facility, supporting the cleanup of transuranic waste from waste generator and storage sites across
the cleanup program. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is crucial to the Department of Energy (DOE) completing its cleanup and
closure mission.
Program Direction._Funds the Federal workforce responsible for the overall direction and administrative support of the EM program, including
both Headquarters and field personnel.
Program Support._Funds management and direction for various crosscutting EM and DOE initiatives, intergovernmental activities, and analyses
and integration activities across DOE in a consistent, responsible, and efficient manner.
Safeguards and Security._Funds activities to protect against unauthorized access, theft, diversion, loss of custody or destruction of DOE assets, and
hostile acts that could cause adverse impacts to fundamental national security or the health and safety of DOE and contractor
employees, the public or the environment.
Technology Development and Deployment._Funds projects managed through Headquarters to address the immediate, near- and long-term technology needs identified by the
EM sites, enabling them to accelerate their cleanup schedules, treat orphaned wastes, improve worker safety, and provide technical
foundations for the sites' cleanup decisions. These projects focus on maturing and deploying the technologies necessary to
accelerate tank waste processing, treatment, and waste loading.

Advanced Scientific Computing Research.—The Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program supports advanced computational research, applied mathematics,
computer science, and networking. The program also supports the development, maintenance, and operation of large high performance
computing and network facilities, including the Leadership Computing Facilities at Oak Ridge and Argonne National Laboratories,
the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the Energy Sciences
Network. The request includes research, in partnership with other science programs, on the application of high performance
computer simulation and modeling to science problems. Research will continue to focus on coordinated efforts to address the
challenges for emerging computing hardware such as energy management and fault tolerance. Research will also continue to address
the challenges of data-intensive science including the massive quantities of data generated by Office of Science facilities
and collaborations. ASCR efforts will consider and integrate the full spectrum of these challenges from hardware to applications.
Basic Energy Sciences.—The Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program supports fundamental research in materials science, chemistry, geosciences, and biosciences
to understand, predict, and ultimately control matter and energy at the electronic, atomic, and molecular levels. BES core
research awards support individual scientists and small groups to pursue discovery-driven research with broad energy relevance.
BES also supports two innovative approaches to integrated research: Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) and Energy Innovation
Hubs. The EFRCs support multi-year, multi-investigator scientific collaborations focused on overcoming hurdles in basic science
that hinder advances in energy technologies. The two BES-managed Energy Innovation Hubs—the Fuels from Sunlight Hub and the
Batteries and Energy Storage Hub—consist of larger, highly integrated teams working to solve priority science and technology
challenges. A new investment in computational materials science is also requested in FY 2015 to develop community software
codes for the design of functional materials.
The BES program operates large national user research facilities: a complementary set of light sources, neutron scattering
centers, and research centers for nanoscale science with electron beam characterization capabilities. These facilities probe
materials in space, time, and energy to investigate the inner workings of matter and answer some of the most challenging grand
science questions. The request includes support to use these state-of-the-art national user facilities at optimal levels.
Research areas that will benefit from these facilities include materials science, chemistry, structural biology, and energy
technology development. The request supports construction of the Linac Coherent Light Source-II (LCLS-II) and increased funding
for early operations of the National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II), while NSLS ceases operations. The request also
supports two major item of equipment projects: the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade and the NSLS-II Experimental Tools. The
BES operations of the Lujan Neutron Scattering Center will cease and funding is requested for safe storage of facility components.
Biological and Environmental Research.—The Biological and Environmental Research (BER) science portfolio examines complex biological, climatic, and environmental
systems across spatial scales ranging from sub-cellular to global, individual molecules to entire ecosystems, and temporal
scales ranging from nanoseconds to millennia. BER-supported research and scientific facilities address the science underpinning
diverse and critical global challenges, from the sustainable and affordable production of renewable biofuels in an environmentally
conscientious manner to the simulation and prediction of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions relevant to energy production.
Multidisciplinary systems approaches are employed to study and predict dynamic biological interactions from the subcellular
molecular level to large scale processes performed by complex plant and microbial communities. The program plays a vital role
in supporting research examining atmospheric processes; climate change; and the impacts of climate change, including warmer
temperatures, changes in precipitation, increased levels of greenhouse gases, changing distributions of weather extremes on
different ecosystems. The program also seeks understanding of the critical role that biogeochemical processes play in controlling
the cycling and mobility of materials in the Earth's subsurface and across key surface-subsurface interfaces in the environment.
The budget continues support for key core research areas and scientific user facilities in bioenergy, climate, and environmental
research. The three DOE Bioenergy Research Centers continue to address the fundamental science underpinning the development
of cost-effective cellulosic biofuels. Genomic sciences investments target the development of synthetic biology tools and
technologies and integrative computation-driven analysis of experimental datasets to accelerate the interpretation of complex
genomes that are sequenced and analyzed at the DOE Joint Genome Institute. Mesoscale research targets multiscale bioimaging
of subcellular organization and communication. Observational research on clouds and aerosols at the Atmospheric Radiation
Measurement Climate Research Facility (ARM) will improve understanding of the priority climatic sensitive regions of the Arctic
and tropics, and modeling efforts will shift their emphasis from global scale dynamics to higher resolution scale interactions
for these priority regions. New investment in Climate Model Development and Validation will enable restructuring the model
architecture, new software engineering and computational upgrades, and incorporating scale-aware physics in all model components.
The new Climate and Environmental Data, Analysis, and Visualization activity will combine Earth system models with energy
and infrastructure models and field observations to provide enhanced tools for analysis and visualization. The Environmental
Molecular Sciences Laboratory enables experimental and computational research on physical, chemical, and biological processes
to resolve molecular-scale challenges in areas such as atmospheric aerosols and trace gases, biofuel feedstocks, biogeochemistry
subsurface science and energy materials.
Fusion Energy Sciences.—The Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program aims to expand the fundamental understanding of matter at very high temperatures
and densities and to build the scientific foundation needed to develop a fusion energy source. Understanding the scientific
character of the burning plasma state, as well as establishing the science for maintaining this state for long durations,
is a major objective of FES research. Another major research objective is increasing the fundamental understanding of basic
plasma science for a broad range of science-based applications. In addition to funding U.S. contributions to ITER, an international
project that aims to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion energy, the FES request continues support
for three domestic fusion research facilities (National Spherical Torus Experiment, DIII-D, and Alcator C-Mod); international
partnerships that leverage U.S. expertise, high-performance computational simulations based on experimentally validated theoretical
models; the development of advanced fusion-relevant materials and technology innovations; and the invention of new measurement
techniques. FES will also continue to support the pursuit of discovery plasma science, including research in plasma astrophysics
and low-temperature plasmas, intermediate-scale magnetic confinement experimental platforms, and high energy density laboratory
plasmas.
High Energy Physics.—The High Energy Physics (HEP) program aims to understand how our universe works at its most fundamental level by discovering
the most elementary constituents of matter and energy, probing the interactions among them, and exploring the basic nature
of space and time itself. The program encompasses both experimental and theoretical particle physics research at the Energy,
Intensity, and Cosmic Frontiers, as well as related advanced accelerator and detector technology research and development
(R&D). The primary mode of experimental research involves the study of collisions of beams of intense and/or energetic particles
using large particle accelerators or colliding beam facilities.
The HEP request supports Intensity Frontier research, primarily at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, including a
diverse portfolio of experiments studying the fundamental properties of neutrinos, quarks and leptons, and searching for new
forces and phenomena. The HEP request also supports the Energy Frontier research program at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC),
including support for software and computing, pre-operations, and maintenance of the U.S.-built systems that are part of the
LHC detectors and accelerator commissioning and accelerator physics studies using the LHC, and the Cosmic Frontier program
focused on discovering the nature of dark matter and dark energy using sensitive, state-of-the-art detectors underground,
in space, and mounted on telescopes.
In addition to contributing to breakthrough scientific discoveries, HEP research also makes major contributions to accelerator
technology development and provides the expertise necessary for the expansion of such technology into medicine, industry,
and homeland security, as well as materials, biology, and chemistry research using light sources. The request includes continued
support for the Accelerator R&D Stewardship program initiated in FY 2014 to foster development of novel accelerator technology
with broad applications.
Nuclear Physics.—The Nuclear Physics (NP) program addresses three broad yet tightly interrelated scientific thrusts: strong interactions among
quarks and gluons (quantum chromodynamics) and how they assemble into the various forms of matter; the structure of atomic
nuclei at their limits of existence and nuclear astrophysics to address the origin of the elements and the evolution of the
cosmos; and measurements of fundamental symmetries of neutrons and nuclei to improve understanding of fundamental interactions
and the properties of neutrinos and nuclei.
NP develops the scientific knowledge, technologies, and trained workforce needed to underpin NP and DOE's mission areas. The
advancement of knowledge of nuclear matter and its properties is intertwined with nuclear power, nuclear medicine, national
security, environmental and geological sciences, and isotope production.
The request provides continued support of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory to characterize
new states of matter and phenomena that occur in hot, dense nuclear matter; the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility
(CEBAF) at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility to understand the substructure of the nucleon; and the Argonne Tandem
Linear Accelerator System at Argonne National Laboratory for the study of nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics. Construction
continues on the 12 GeV CEBAF Upgrade project to double the electron beam energy at CEBAF, which will open the opportunity
for new discoveries and an understanding of quark confinement; and on the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State
University, which will provide intense beams of rare isotopes for a wide variety of studies in nuclear structure, nuclear
astrophysics and fundamental symmetries. The Isotope Development and Production for Research and Applications program will
continue to develop and produce commercial and research radioisotopes that are in short supply, for provision to medical institutions,
universities, research organizations, and industry for a wide array of uses and applications.
Science Laboratories Infrastructure.—The mission of Science Laboratories Infrastructure (SLI) program is to support scientific and technological innovation at
Office of Science (SC) laboratories by funding and sustaining mission-ready infrastructure and fostering safe and environmentally
responsible operations. Revitalizing facilities and providing modern laboratory infrastructure is critical to ensuring the
continued mission readiness of SC laboratories. The program provides the modern laboratory infrastructure necessary to support
world leadership by the SC national laboratories in the area of basic scientific research now and in the future.
Safeguards and Security.—The mission of Safeguards and Security (S&S) program is to support the Department's research at SC laboratories by ensuring
appropriate levels of protection against unauthorized access, theft, or destruction of Department assets, and hostile acts
that may have adverse impacts on fundamental science, national security, the health and safety of DOE and contractor employees,
the public, and the environment.
Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists.—The Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) program supports undergraduate internships, graduate thesis
research, and visiting faculty programs at the DOE laboratories; the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship for
K-12 STEM teachers, which is administered by WDTS for DOE and for other federal agencies; and nationwide, middle- and high-school
science competitions that annually culminate in the National Science Bowl in Washington, D.C. These investments help develop
the next generation of scientists and engineers to support the DOE mission, administer its programs, and conduct its research.
WDTS activities leverage the assets of DOE's 17 laboratories, which employ more than 30,000 workers with STEM backgrounds.
The DOE laboratory system provides access to leading scientists; world-class scientific user facilities and instrumentation;
and large-scale, multidisciplinary research programs unavailable in universities or industry.
Program Direction.—This program provides a highly skilled Federal workforce to develop and sustain world-class science programs that deliver
the scientific discoveries and technological innovations needed to solve our nation's energy and environmental challenges
and enable the U.S. to maintain its global competitiveness. The SC workforce is responsible for overseeing taxpayer dollars
for science program development; program and project execution and management; managing the administrative, business, and
technical aspects of research grants and contracts; overseeing 10 of the 17 DOE national laboratories; and providing public
access to DOE's R&D results.

The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) within the Department of Energy was established by the America COMPETES
Act of 2007 (Pub. L. No. 110–69), as amended. The mission of ARPA-E is to overcome the long-term and high-risk technological
barriers to the development of new energy technologies that increase energy efficiency and reduce emissions, including greenhouse
gases.
ARPA-E will facilitate initiatives to enhance the energy and economic security of the United States through the development
of new energy technologies and ensure that the United States maintains a technological lead in developing and deploying advanced
energy technologies. ARPA-E will identify and promote revolutionary advances in energy-related applied sciences, translating
scientific discoveries and cutting-edge inventions into technological innovations. It will also accelerate transformational
technological advances in areas where industry by itself is not likely to invest due to technical and financial uncertainty.
The role of ARPA-E is not to duplicate DOE's basic research and applied programs but to focus on novel early-stage energy
research and development with technology applications.

The Office of Nuclear Energy funds a range of research and development activities as well as supports the Nation's nuclear
facilities. The FY 2015 budget continues programmatic support for advanced reactor R&D activities; fuel cycle R&D, including
work on storage, transportation, disposal, and process development activities that support the Administration's Strategy for the Management and Disposal of Used Nuclear Fuel and High Level Radioactive Waste; the safe, environmentally compliant, and cost-effective operation of the Department's facilities vital to nuclear energy
R&D activities. The Reactor Concepts Research, Development and Demonstration program will support R&D focused on innovative
small modular reactors, Light Water Reactor Sustainability, and other advanced reactor concepts. The Nuclear Energy Enabling
Technologies program will support R&D focused on a broad spectrum of nuclear energy issues that crosscut reactor types and
fuel cycle issues, including materials, proliferation risk assessment, and advanced sensors and instrumentation. The budget
will also support cutting-edge nuclear technology R&D across the full spectrum of nuclear energy issues to inspire creative
solutions to the broad array of nuclear energy challenges. In addition, the Office of Nuclear Energy will continue to fund
ongoing responsibilities under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, including administration of the Nuclear Waste Fund and the Standard
Contract, and will lead future waste management activities. A new programmatic effort for FY 2015 is the Supercritical Transformative
Electric Power Generation (STEP) initiative, a collaborative DOE demonstration project to rapidly accelerate pre-commercial
development and validation of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCO2) Brayton cycle energy conversion technology.

Nuclear Energy
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)
In January 2013 the Administration released its Strategy for the Management and Disposal of Used Nuclear Fuel and High Level Radioactive Waste. This Strategy lays out a broad outline for a stable, integrated system capable of transporting, storing, and disposing of
high-level nuclear waste from civilian nuclear power generation, defense, national security and other activities. The Administration
is working with Congress to build and implement this new program and believes that providing adequate and timely funding is
critical to success.
Currently approximately 70,000 metric tons heavy metal (MTHM) of used nuclear fuel are stored at 72 commercial power plants
around the country with almost 2,000 MTHM added to that amount every year. As a result of litigation by contract holders,
the government was found in partial breach of contract, and is now liable for damages to some utilities to cover the costs
of that on-site, at-reactor storage. The FY 2015 Budget continues to reflect a more complete estimate of those liability payments
in the baseline. Please see additional discussion of the cost of the government's liability in the Budget Process chapter
in the Analytical Perspectives volume.
To support the nuclear waste management program over the long term, reform of the current funding arrangement is necessary
and the Administration believes the funding system should consist of the following elements: ongoing discretionary appropriations,
access to annual fee collections provided in legislation either through their reclassification from mandatory to discretionary
or as a direct mandatory appropriation, and eventual access to the balance or "corpus" of the Nuclear Waste Fund. The FY 2015
Budget includes a proposal to implement such reform. Discretionary appropriations are included for this new program for the
duration of the effort. These funds would be used to fund expenses that are regular and recurring, such as program management
costs, including administrative expenses, salaries and benefits, studies, and regulatory interactions. Mandatory appropriations
in addition to the discretionary funding are proposed to be provided annually beginning in 2018 to fund the balance of the
annual program costs.
The program envisioned in the FY 2015 Budget is a very long term, flexible, multi-faceted approach to dispose of the nation's
commercial and defense waste. The estimated programmatic cost of this effort over its first 10 years is approximately $5.7
billion. As part of this program, the Budget assumes the construction and operation of a pilot interim waste storage facility
within the next 10 years as well as notable progress on both full-scale interim storage and long-term permanent geologic disposal.
The deployment of pilot interim storage within the next 10 years allows the government to begin picking up waste, thus enabling
the collection of one-time fees owed by certain generators that will offset some of this spending. Over the 10-year budget
window, the projected net mandatory cost would be in the range of $1.3 billion.
The sooner that legislation enables progress on implementing a nuclear waste management program, the lower the ultimate cost
will be to the taxpayers. This proposal is intended to limit, and then end, liability costs by making it possible for the
government to begin performing on its contractual obligations.

The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) supports clean energy research, development,
demonstration, and deployment activities to advance the state-of-the-art in efficiency and renewable energy technologies and
to transition them from early-stage research to the private sector. EERE programs accelerate the development and commercialization
of new generations of energy technologies for buildings, factories, and vehicles that are clean, reliable, efficient, and
affordable and that help the country meet its economic, environmental, and energy security goals. These technologies can provide
the basis for increased domestic manufacturing and economic growth; protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions
and improving air and water quality; reduce petroleum use; increase diversity and choice in energy sources and services; and
decrease energy use and costs for consumers. As EERE technologies become more cost competitive, grid integration issues associated
with higher penetration on the power grid of EERE technologies such as variable renewable electricity generation, electric
vehicle charging, building efficiency, and demand response emerge as high priority barriers to address.
EERE programs include:
Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies._This program aims to reduce petroleum use, greenhouse gas emissions, and criteria air pollutants, and to contribute to a more
diverse and efficient domestically-based energy infrastructure by supporting the development of affordable, high efficiency
and low emissions hydrogen and fuel cell technologies for widespread commercialization. The program supports applied research,
development, and demonstration of transformative advances in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, as well as efforts to overcome
economic and institutional barriers to their commercial deployment.
Bioenergy Technologies._This program funds RD&D projects to advance biofuels technologies and to validate and assist in the commercialization of integrated
biorefinery technologies that will help transform the nation's transportation sector. The program's activities include the
development of biomass conversion technologies to produce a variety of biofuels, bioproducts, and biopower. The program also
works to evaluate environmentally sustainable feedstocks and to develop economically viable feedstock logistics systems to
sustainably supply the biofuels industry. With the completion of the program's technology development for cost-competitive
cellulosic ethanol, the program is now partnering with the private sector to demonstrate economic viability at larger scales.
It is also developing follow-on technology for more infrastructure-compatible biofuels, such as bio-based gasoline, diesel
and jet fuel. This work is coordinated closely with the Departments of Agriculture and Defense.
Solar Energy._This program's main objectives under the SunShot Initiative are to make solar energy cost-competitive with other sources of
electricity, across the nation and without subsidies, by 2020—a goal of approximately 5–6 cents per kWh for installed systems;
and to create reliable domestic solar energy options manufactured in the United States that enhance our economy, reduce our
reliance on fossil fuels, and support a resilient electric grid. To achieve these objectives, the program supports solar energy
research, development, and demonstration at universities and the national laboratories and in collaboration with industry
and industry-led consortia. The Photovoltaic (PV) R&D subprogram focuses on lowering the cost of PV through increased conversion
efficiency and reduction in cell and module costs. The Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) subprogram supports the development
of thermal storage, heat transfer fluids, and component and systems research and optimization to enable CSP to provide baseload
power on demand. Additionally, the Systems Integration and Balance of Systems Soft Cost Reduction subprograms support cost
goals for the deployment of solar technologies by addressing grid integration issues, the balance-of-system and non-hardware
costs of installation, and other market barriers. The Innovations in Manufacturing Competitiveness subprogram focuses on manufacturing
technology improvements and on increasing the competitiveness of the U.S. solar energy manufacturing industry and supply chain.
Wind Energy._This program develops technology in partnership with industry to improve the reliability and affordability of land-based and
offshore wind energy systems, with an increased focus on next generation technologies that could leapfrog global competition
(e.g., floating platform designs, etc.), enable America's sizable offshore wind resources to be captured at a competitive
price, and create domestic manufacturing. The program also supports advanced turbine component research and design, wind resource
assessments and modeling, advanced turbine and system modeling and optimization of entire wind plants, and improved approaches
to systems interconnection and integration with the electric transmission grid. These efforts also help reduce barriers to
technology acceptance and enable increased market penetration of this variable resource.
Geothermal Technologies._This program conducts research, development and demonstration in partnership with industry, academia, and the national laboratories
to improve the discovery of new geothermal resources and to develop innovative methods for accessing and using those resources
for cost-effective baseload renewable electricity generation. The program's geothermal work will concentrate on improved exploration
technologies and on developing new technologies for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) that offer the potential for tapping
into enormous geothermal resources across America. The program's new competitively selected Frontier Observatory for Research
in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) will be a dedicated, DOE-managed, industry/stakeholder operated site dedicated to creating a
commercial pathway to EGS through field testing with laboratory accuracy, which will enable transformative, high-impact technologies
and techniques to be rapidly demonstrated and improved by increasing technology sharing and leverage with the private sector.
Water Power._This program conducts research, development, and validation testing and demonstration of innovative water power technologies
to enable improved, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible renewable power generation from water. The program focuses
on a diverse array of marine and hydrokinetic technologies for producing electricity from waves, tides, and currents in oceans
and rivers. It also focuses on advanced hydropower technologies and tools that significantly improve energy and environmental
performance. In addition, the program supports resource assessments, cost assessments, environmental studies, and advanced
modeling aimed at determining and demonstrating the viability of emerging water power technologies and reducing the market
barriers to their deployment.
Vehicle Technologies._This program's research and development (R&D) seeks technology breakthroughs that will enable the U.S. to greatly reduce transportation
petroleum use and greenhouse gas emissions while reducing the costs of light-duty and heavy-duty vehicle operation. To accomplish
this, the program focuses on a suite of technologies from transportation electrification to lightweight materials, advanced
combustion engines, and non-petroleum fuels and lubricant technologies. The program incorporates a DOE grand challenge, the
EV Everywhere Initiative, to develop the technologies to make electric-powered vehicles as affordable and convenient as gasoline-powered
vehicles for the average American family by 2022. The EV Everywhere Initiative will include accelerated R&D on emerging battery
technologies and innovative battery manufacturing processes, power electronics, lightweight materials, and electric motors.
The program also supports early demonstration, field validation, and community-scale deployment of advanced vehicle technologies,
as well as efforts to reduce the vehicle miles traveled by the public.
Building Technologies._In partnership with the buildings industry, this program develops, demonstrates, and integrates energy technologies and practices
to make buildings more efficient and affordable. The program accelerates the availability of innovative, highly efficient
building technologies and practices through high impact R&D; increases the minimum efficiency of buildings and equipment through
the promotion of model building efficiency codes and the promulgation of national lighting and appliance standards; and addresses
barriers and encourages the use of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies and practices in residential and commercial
buildings through integration activities such as Better Buildings, Building America, and the ENERGY STAR partnership with
EPA.
Advanced Manufacturing._This program supports research, development, and demonstration focused on high-impact energy-efficient manufacturing processes
and materials technologies that will both increase domestic manufacturing productivity and stimulate manufacturing where the
nation has competitive advantages like next generation clean energy technology. The program is accelerating its activities
to develop cross-cutting manufacturing process technologies and advanced industrial materials that will enable U.S. companies
to cut the costs of manufacturing by using less energy while improving product quality and accelerating product development.
These activities include managing the Energy Innovation Hub on Critical Materials and managing Clean Energy Manufacturing
Innovation Institutes as part of a larger proposed interagency network aimed at bringing together universities, companies,
and the government to co-invest in solving industry-relevant manufacturing challenges. The program seeks to demonstrate materials
and processes at a convincing scale to prove reductions in energy intensity and in the life-cycle energy consumption of manufactured
products, plus promote a corporate culture of continuous improvement in energy efficiency among existing facilities and manufacturers.
Federal Energy Management Program._This program enables the Federal Government to meet its relevant energy, water, greenhouse gas, and transportation goals as
defined in existing legislation and Executive Orders by providing interagency coordination, technical expertise, training,
financing resources, and contracting support. FEMP also assists agencies in implementing and monitoring performance-based
contracting to improve the efficiency of Federal buildings. As part of FEMP, the Sustainability Performance Office supports
management of DOE specific investments to achieve these goals at DOE.
Strategic Programs._The mission of the Office of Strategic Programs (OSP) is to increase the effectiveness and impact of all EERE activities by
funding and guiding EERE-wide cross-cutting activities, analysis, and support functions. The office focuses on accelerating
development, commercialization, and adoption of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies through strategic partnerships
to support the transition of EERE technologies to market, communications and engagement with energy stakeholders, development
and catalysis of international markets for U.S. clean energy companies, and analytical support for decision making and management
of the EERE portfolio including sector analyses, feasibility studies, and evaluations to characterize technology cost and
performance, understand market trends, and estimate impacts; long-term strategic planning; and outreach to consumers and other
stakeholders on the progress and benefits of clean energy development.
Facilities and Infrastructure._This activity sustains research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) infrastructure and supports EERE's clean energy RD&D
by providing funding for general plant projects, maintenance and repair, general purpose equipment, upgrades to accommodate
new research requirements, and safeguards and security operations at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Facilities
and Infrastructure also supports the operation of the NREL Energy Systems Integration Facility as a DOE Technology User Facility.
This new facility provides component and system testing and grid simulation capability to DOE programs and the private sector,
helping to integrate clean energy technologies seamlessly into electrical grid infrastructure and utility operations at the
speed and scale required to meet national goals.
Weatherization and Intergovernmental._This program supports clean energy deployment in partnership with State, local, U.S. territory, and tribal governments. The
State Energy Program provides technical and financial resources to States to help them achieve their energy efficiency and
renewable energy goals through interactions with utilities and through building codes and other local policies. Funding also
supports technical assistance on innovative energy efficiency and renewable energy strategies that meet local needs. The Tribal
Energy Program and its activities to support feasibility assessments and the development of implementation plans for clean
energy projects on Tribal lands is proposed for consolidation into the Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs. The Weatherization

The Non-Defense Environmental Cleanup program includes funds to manage and clean up sites used for civilian energy research
and non-defense related activities. These activities resulted in radioactive, hazardous, and mixed waste contamination that
requires remediation, stabilization, or some other type of corrective action, as well as the decontamination and decommissioning
of former research and production buildings and supporting infrastructure. The budget displays the cleanup program by site.
West Valley Demonstration Project._Funds waste disposition, building decontamination, and removal of non-essential facilities in the near-term.
Gaseous Diffusion Plants._Funds surveillance and maintenance of the former Uranium Program facilities and manages legacy polychlorinated biphenyl contamination.
The program also includes the operation of two depleted uranium hexafluoride conversion facilities at Paducah, Kentucky, and
Portsmouth, Ohio, which are converting the depleted uranium hexafluoride into a more stable form for reuse or disposition.
Fast Flux Test Facility._Funds the long-term surveillance and maintenance and eventual decontamination and decommissioning of the Fast Flux Test Facility,
constructed and operated from the 1960s through 1980s.Small Sites._Funds cleanup, closure, and post-closure environmental activities at a number of geographic sites across the nation, including
the Energy Technology Engineering Center and Moab, as well as non-defense activities at Idaho and Oak Ridge. Some sites are
associated with other Department of Energy programs, particularly the Office of Science, and will have continuing missions
after EM completes the cleanup. Others will transition to the Office of Legacy Management or private-sector entities for post-closure
activities.

The Fossil Energy Research and Development program supports research that will improve the Nation's ability to use fossil
energy resources cleanly, affordably, and efficiently. The program funds research and development with academia, national
laboratories, and the private sector to advance the technology base used to develop new products and processes. Fossil Energy
R&D supports activities ranging from early concept research in universities and national laboratories to applied R&D and proof-of-concept
projects with private-sector firms.
Research, Development & Demonstration.—Program activities, including National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in-house R&D, focus on: 1) CO2 capture technology
applicable to both new and existing fossil-fueled facilities; 2) CO2 storage, with emphasis on modeling, simulation, and CO2
monitoring, verification and accounting; 3) advanced fossil-fueled power systems that support carbon capture and storage (CCS),
including integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) and oxy-combustion technologies; and 4) cross-cutting research to
bridge fundamental science and applied engineering development. The Department will continue to work with the private sector
and academia to conduct and direct research toward overcoming critical challenges to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from
fossil energy power generation in the United States. The program will continue working with the Department of the Interior
and the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that hydraulic fracturing for natural gas development is conducted in a
manner that is environmentally sound and protective of human health and safety. In FY 2015 the program will initiate new work
focused on developing technology to monitor and reduce emissions from midstream natural gas infrastructure. Also, methane
hydrates R&D activities will continue to advance our understanding of naturally-occurring gas hydrates.
Program Direction and Management Support.—The program provides the funding for all headquarters and field personnel and other operating expenses in Fossil Energy
R&D. In addition, it provides support for day-to-day project management functions and operating expenses for NETL. Also included
is the Import/Export Authorization program, which will continue regulatory reviews and oversight of the transmission of natural
gas across the U.S. borders.
Environmental Restoration.—The program provides the funding for environmental cleanup of former and present Fossil Energy project sites, security and
safeguard services for NETL, and health, safety, and environmental protection programs at NETL.

Following the sale of the government's interests in Naval Petroleum Reserve 1 (NPR-1) (Elk Hills) mandated by the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996 (P.L. 104–106), post-sale activities required by legally binding agreements
involve the environmental cleanup/remediation under the Corrective Action Consent Agreement with the State of California Department
of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). Program activities encompass execution of a technical baseline, interim measures, environmental
sampling and analysis, corrective measures, waste removal and disposal, confirmatory sampling, and requests to DTSC for release
from further corrective actions. The account also funds activities at the Naval Petroleum Reserve 3 (NPR-3) in Wyoming (Teapot
Dome field), a stripper well oil field. Disposition of NPR-3 will be the primary focus. NPR-3 will continue implementing the
approved disposition plan. Final disposition of the property, following a competitive sale in FY 2014, is estimated to occur
in FY 2015. NPR-3 will be utilized for production and testing operations in order to retain asset value during preparation
to transfer to new ownership. Production facilities will remain operational as long as economic, until date of transfer. The
program will continue Rocky Mountain Oilfield Testing Center (RMOTC) testing for 100 percent funds-in projects until date
of transfer. Environmental remediation of NPR-3 facilities will continue to facilitate the sale/disposition of the property
in a manner consistent with the approved property disposition plan.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) Program has the national security mission to reduce the vulnerability of the United
States to energy supply disruptions by maintaining a crude oil stockpile capable of rapid deployment at the direction of the
President. This program protects the United States against foreign and domestic disruptions in its critical petroleum supplies
that would result from international incidents, hurricanes or terrorism, and fulfills the United States obligations under
the International Energy Program (the charter of the International Energy Agency). The United States gains access to worldwide
emergency assistance through its International Energy Agency alliance in the event of a petroleum supply disruption. This
account provides for the management, operations, maintenance and security of the SPR storage facilities, drawdown testing
and readiness of the Reserve, and program administration. The FY 2015 budget continues to provide insurance against oil supply
disruptions that could harm the U.S. economy by pursuing a SPR program that is environmentally responsible and fully responsive
to the needs of the Nation and the public. The FY 2015 budget funds the management, operations, maintenance, and security
of the Government's four SPR storage sites; continued degasification operations at the West Hackberry site for treating the
oil to safe vapor pressure levels to restore the availability of the entire crude oil inventory for emergency use; and continues
a cavern casing inspection and remediation program to comply with state inspection regulations and address wellbore and casing
component failures. The overall maximum SPR drawdown rate remains at 4.25 million barrels per day versus the designed rate
of 4.4 million barrels per day.

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) is the statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy.
EIA collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent and impartial energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient
markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment. EIA is the Nation's
premier source of energy information and, by law, its data, analyses, and forecasts are independent of approval by any other
officer or employee of the United States Government. EIA conducts a data collection program with the goal of covering the
full spectrum of energy sources, end uses, and energy flows; generates short- and long-term domestic and international energy
projections; and performs informative energy analyses. As EIA's data products, analyses, and reports are primarily disseminated
through its website, the agency endeavors to provide continuous improvement for its customers by enabling access to desired
information in a format and structure usable with minimal additional effort. Priority areas for FY 2015 include developing
an interface to enable groups with common interests to crowd-source, or pool information to determine the actual effectiveness
of specific building efficiency technologies, practices, and characteristics in reducing energy use while maintaining energy
services; improving the capability to track and report on rapidly-changing domestic market dynamics through expanded collection
of domestic oil and gas production and collaboration with member states of the Ground Water Protection Council to make EIA
a repository for well-level data from states; explaining domestic energy markets within the broader context of the world energy
system, including the global markets for liquefied natural gas, crude oil, and refined products; and continuing the modernization
of the systems and processes used to manage EIA's extensive data operations.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) regulates and oversees key interstate aspects of the electric power
(including hydropower), natural gas and oil pipeline industries. The Commission assists consumers in obtaining reliable, efficient
and sustainable energy services at a reasonable cost through appropriate regulatory and market means. Regulated entities pay
fees and charges sufficient to recover the Commission's full cost of operations.
Ensure Just and Reasonable Rates, Terms and Conditions.—One of the Commission's fundamental statutory responsibilities is to ensure that rates, terms and conditions for wholesale
sales and transmission of electric energy and for transportation of natural gas are just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory
or preferential. To fulfill this responsibility, the Commission uses a combination of market and regulatory means, complemented
by oversight and enforcement measures. For example, the Commission seeks to improve the competitiveness of organized wholesale
electric markets, which in turn encourages new entry by supply-side and demand-side resources, spurs innovation and deployment
of new technologies, improves operating performance, and exerts downward pressure on costs. The Commission will continue to
pursue market reforms to allow all resources to compete in jurisdictional markets on a level playing field. Another example
of the Commission's use of market and regulatory means in support of this goal is found in the Commission's requirements for
public utility transmission providers to participate in an open and transparent regional transmission planning process and
to allocate appropriately the costs of new transmission facilities stemming from such a process. In addition, the Commission
approves cost-based, and where appropriate, market-based rates for the interstate transportation of natural gas and oil on
jurisdictional pipelines, and for the interstate transmission and wholesale sales of electric energy. The Commission also
prevents the accumulation and exercise of market power by reviewing merger and other transactions in the electric industry
to ensure that these proposals will not harm the public interest. The Commission accepts tariff provisions, as appropriate,
to allow natural gas and oil pipelines and public utilities to modify their services to meet their customers' needs. Oversight
and enforcement are essential complements to the Commission's approach to ensure that rates, terms and conditions of service
are just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential. The Commission will review internal compliance programs
as part of its compliance audits, issue publicly available audit reports, and engage in formal and informal outreach efforts
to promote effective compliance programs. Audits are planned and prioritized using a risk-based approach in order to maximize
the impact of the Commission's resources. The Commission also conducts public and non-public investigations of possible violations
of the statutes, regulations, rules, orders, and tariffs administered by the Commission. When violations of sufficient seriousness
are discovered, the Commission attempts to resolve the investigation through settlement with appropriate sanctions and future
compliance improvements before recommending that the Commission initiate further enforcement proceedings.
Promote Safe, Reliable, Secure, and Efficient Infrastructure.—The Commission plays an important role in the development of energy infrastructure that operates efficiently, safely and
reliably. One aspect of the Commission's role in energy infrastructure development stems from siting authority that includes
licensing non-federal hydropower projects, certificating interstate natural gas pipelines and storage projects, authorizing
liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, and, in certain circumstances, permitting electric transmission lines. Throughout
all of these processes, the Commission's goal is to expedite application processing without compromising environmental responsibilities
or public participation. The Commission encourages, and sometimes requires, project proponents to engage in early involvement
with state and federal agencies, Indian tribes, affected landowners and the public. Another aspect of the Commission's role
in energy infrastructure development stems from the Commission's responsibility for the safety of LNG and non-federal hydropower
facilities throughout the entire life cycle of a project: design review, construction and operation. To meet this mandate,
FERC primarily relies on physical inspections of the facilities. The Commission is incorporating risk-informed decision making
into its dam safety program. By doing so, the Commission is focusing its resources on those structures that pose the greatest
risk. The Commission also has an important role in maintaining the reliability of the electric transmission grid. A Commission-certified
Electric Reliability Organization (ERO) develops and enforces mandatory reliability standards, subject to the Commission's
oversight and approval. The Reliability Standards development process uses an open and inclusive process that employs extensive
negotiation, consultation and coordination among many stakeholders. Regional Entities may also develop regional Reliability
Standards or regional modifications to a national Reliability Standard. In all such cases, the Commission must either accept
or remand these filings. The Commission may also, upon its own motion or upon complaint, order the ERO to submit a proposed
reliability standard or a modification of an existing reliability standard that addresses a specific reliability matter. Once
proposed standards are filed, it is important that the Commission respond in a timely manner so that mandatory and enforceable
standards affecting reliability can be implemented in a timely manner. In addition, the Commission will provide leadership,
expertise and assistance in identifying, communicating and seeking comprehensive solutions to significant potential cyber
and physical security risks to the energy infrastructure under the Commission's jurisdiction.
Mission Support through Organizational Excellence.—The public interest is best served when the Commission operates in an efficient, responsive and transparent manner. The
Commission achieves this operational state by maintaining processes and providing services in accordance with governing statutes,
authoritative guidance, and prevailing best practices. Facilitating understanding of how the Commission carries out its responsibilities
and maintaining public trust in the Commission are important components of the Commission's commitment to organizational excellence.
Trust and understanding increase acceptance of FERC decisions and reduces the potential for contentiousness toward FERC rules
and regulations, thus enabling the creation and enforcement of policy. Through the use of the Commission's eLibrary and eSubscriptions
web pages, the public can obtain extensive information concerning documents both submitted to and issued by the Commission.
The Commission also manages several social media sites to promote transparency and open communication. In FY 2015, the Commission
expects to have advanced tracking software that will monitor and measure the effectiveness and reach of its social media.
More generally, the Commission prioritizes resource allocations and makes prudent investments in relation to specific program
activities or challenges. In meeting this commitment, the Commission is making new investments in its human capital, information
technology resources, and physical infrastructure. Because Commission employees are directly responsible for achieving FERC's
mission, the Commission allocates over two-thirds of its budget to directly cover the compensation costs of its employees
on an annual basis. Given this significant investment, the Commission places extremely high value on its employees and is
focused on ensuring their success. The Commission continues to focus its human capital efforts on the competencies and positions
most affected by the potential loss of approximately 30 percent of its staff to retirement by FY 2018. The Commission will
focus on the execution of its hiring processes to ensure it maximizes allocated financial resources in a timely fashion. At
the same time, the headquarters building lease term expires in September 2015. The Commission is seeking to exercise the lease
extension and will oversee a complex multi-year renovation effort to realize mandated space-savings.

Title XXXIV, Subtitle B of Public Law 104–106 required the Department to sell the government's interest in Naval Petroleum
Reserve No. 1 (NPR-1; Elk Hills) pursuant to the terms of the Act. The sale occurred in February 1998. Section 3415 of the
Act required, among other things, that the Department make an offer of settlement based on the fair value of the State of
California's longstanding claims to two parcels of land ("school lands'') within the Reserve. Under the Act, nine percent
of the net proceeds were reserved in a contingent fund in the Treasury for payment to the State. In compliance with the Act
and in order to remove any cloud over title which could diminish the sales value of the Reserve, the Department entered into
a settlement agreement with the State on October 11, 1996, in which the Department agreed to compensate the State of California
for its claim of title to two sections of land with NPR-1. The "Settlement Agreement" stipulates installments reserved by
the Act will be paid to the State. Installments totaling $299,520,000 have been paid to date. On April 21, 2011 the Department
settled NPR-1 final equity with Chevron. Under the terms of the settlement, Chevron paid $108,000,000 to the United States.
That, in turn, increased the net proceeds of the sale. On August 3, 2011, the Department and the State agreed on the final
payment of $15,579,815 with respect to the longstanding claim on the two sections of land.

The Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve provides an emergency supply of home heating oil supply for the Northeast States during
times of inventory shortages and significant threats to immediate further supply. In order to comply with Northeast states'
emission standards, the Reserve was converted from 2 million barrels of high sulfur heating oil to 1 million barrels of Ultra
Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD). This fuel is stored in commercial terminals located at Groton, CT and Boston, MA. The FY 2015 Budget
continues the operation and management of the Reserve, including the solicitation of new leases for the Northeast commercial
storage terminals.

A new nuclear waste management approach was outlined in the Administrations January 2013 Strategy for the Management and Disposal of Used Nuclear Fuel and High Level Radioactive Waste and the FY 2015 Budget reflects this new Strategy. The Budget includes a proposal to implement funding reforms needed to
support the new approach, which includes the collection of one-time fees anticipated to begin in the 2023 timeframe. Additional
discussion of the proposal can be found in the narrative for the Department of Energy's Nuclear Energy account.
In FY 2010, the Department closed the Yucca Mountain Project and the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management. Residual
obligations and outlays in the Nuclear Waste Disposal account are associated with Yucca project closeout activities and remaining
legacy activities such as accounting.

Section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 established a direct loan program to support the development
of advanced technology vehicles and associated components in the United States, known as the Advanced Technology Vehicles
Manufacturing Loan Program (ATVM). The 2009 Continuing Resolution (CR), enacted on September 30, 2008, appropriated $7.5 billion
to support a maximum of $25 billion in loans under the ATVM. The ATVM provides loans to automobile and automobile part manufacturers
for the cost of re-equipping, expanding, or establishing manufacturing facilities in the United States to produce advanced
technology vehicles or qualified components and for associated engineering integration costs.
The FY 2015 Budget reflects placeholder estimates for direct loan subsidy costs. These estimates are not related to any specific
project proposals. DOE will calculate the credit subsidy cost of any direct loan on a case-by-case basis in accordance with
Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (FCRA) and OMB Circular A-11. For any project, the terms and conditions of the loan, the
risks associated with the project, and any other factor that affects the amount and timing of such cash flows will affect
the credit subsidy cost calculations.
The Department requests $4 million in FY 2015 to operate the ATVM and support personnel and associated costs. To ensure that
the Department meets statutory and regulatory requirements and implements effective management and oversight of its loan guarantee
activities, program funding also will support the procurement of providers of outside expertise in areas such as finance,
project engineering, and commercial market assessment. The costs of these outside advisors are paid from the ATVM administrative
budget.
As required by the FCRA, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans committed
in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as
well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative
expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

The Loan Programs Office (LPO) will consider and coordinate Departmental action on all loan guarantee applications submitted
to the Department of Energy in compliance with Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct of 2005). Section 1703 of
that Act authorizes the Department to provide loan guarantees for projects in categories including renewable energy systems,
advanced nuclear facilities, coal gasification, carbon sequestration, energy efficiency, and various other types of projects.
These projects must avoid, reduce, or sequester air pollutants or anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases; employ new
or significantly improved technologies compared to commercial technologies in service in the United States at the time the
guarantee is issued; and offer a reasonable prospect of repayment of the principal and interest on the guaranteed obligation.
DOE has been implementing Section 1703 of this program under authorizing law that allows borrowers to pay the credit subsidy
costs of these loan guarantees ("self-pay" authority).
Section 406 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L. No. 111–5 (the "Recovery Act"), amended the LGPO's
authorizing legislation, by establishing Section 1705, a temporary program for the rapid deployment of renewable energy and
electric power transmission projects. For the Section 1705 program, $2.435 billion (after rescissions and transfers) in appropriated
credit subsidy was provided, which allowed the Secretary to make loan guarantees available for the following categories of
projects that commenced construction not later than September 30, 2011: renewable energy systems, including incremental hydropower,
that generate electricity or thermal energy, and facilities that manufacture related components; electric power transmission
systems, including upgrading and reconductoring projects; and leading edge biofuel projects that will use technologies performing
at the pilot or demonstrations scale that the Secretary determines are likely to become commercial technologies and will produce
transportation fuels that substantially reduce life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions compared to other transportation fuels.
The authority to enter into loan guarantees under Section 1705 expired on September 30, 2011.
The decision to issue loan guarantees depends on the merits and benefits of particular project proposals and their compliance
with statutory and regulatory requirements.
As of January 2014, $34 billion in self-pay loan guarantee authority is available to support projects eligible under Section
1703. In addition, the FY 2011 full-year continuing resolution provided $170 million in appropriated credit subsidy for Section
1703 loan guarantees for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. Loan volume utilized may not be reused. The FY 2015
Budget does not include any additional loan authority or appropriated credit subsidy as the program will focus on deploying
the significant amount of remaining resources appropriated in prior years. The FY 2015 Budget reflects estimates based on
illustrative examples, unrelated to any specific project.
The Loan Programs Office will ensure all processes and criteria are applied uniformly in accordance with established requirements,
procedures and guidelines. The Department requests $42 million in FY 2015 to operate the Office and support personnel and
associated costs. This request is intended to be offset by $35 million in collections authorized under the EPAct of 2005.
To ensure that the Department meets statutory and regulatory requirements and implements effective management and oversight
of its loan guarantee activities, program funding also will support the procurement of outside expertise in areas such as
finance, project engineering, and commercial market assessment. The costs of these outside advisors are paid for by applicants
to the Section 1703 Loan Guarantee Program.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated
with loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted
from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as the administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts
are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

Energy Security Trust._The Energy Security Trust proposal is a $2 billion investment over ten years that will support research into a range of technologies—like
advanced vehicles that run on electricity, homegrown biofuels, hydrogen, and domestically produced natural gas—to allow the
Nation to transition from oil towards more secure alternatives. The Trust will be funded from existing royalty revenues generated
from Federal oil and gas development. Establishing a guaranteed source of funding will allow the Department of Energy to maintain
targeted and sustained investments that will directly advance U.S. energy security.

Power Marketing Administration
Federal Funds
Operation and Maintenance, Alaska Power Administration
The Alaska Power Administration (APA) was created in 1967 by the Secretary of the Interior to assume the functions of the
Bureau of Reclamation in Alaska. These functions include operations, maintenance, transmission, and power marketing of the
two Federal hydroelectric projects (Eklutna and Snettisham), and the investigation of future water and power development programs.
All Alaska activities of APA, including the Juneau headquarters office, were terminated on September 30, 1998. A fund is maintained
to liquidate the remaining obligations of the APA.
Operation and Maintenance, Southeastern Power Administration
For necessary expenses of operation and maintenance of power transmission facilities and of marketing electric power and energy,
including transmission wheeling and ancillary services, pursuant to section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C.

not to exceed $1,500, [$7,750,000] $7,220,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302 and section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944, up to [$7,750,000] $7,220,000 collected by the Southeastern Power Administration from the sale of power and related services shall be credited to this
account as discretionary offsetting collections, to remain available until expended for the sole purpose of funding the annual
expenses of the Southeastern Power Administration: Provided further, That the sum herein appropriated for annual expenses shall be reduced as collections are received during the fiscal year
so as to result in a final fiscal year [2014] 2015 appropriation estimated at not more than $0: Provided further, That, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302, up to [$78,081,000] $73,579,000 collected by the Southeastern Power Administration pursuant to the Flood Control Act of 1944 to recover purchase power and
wheeling expenses shall be credited to this account as offsetting collections, to remain available until expended for the
sole purpose of making purchase power and wheeling expenditures: Provided further, That for purposes of this appropriation, annual expenses means expenditures that are generally recovered in the same year

The Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern) markets power generated at 22 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' hydroelectric
generating plants in an eleven-State area of the Southeast. Power deliveries are made by means of contracting for use of transmission
facilities owned by others.
Southeastern sells wholesale power primarily to publicly and cooperatively-owned electric distribution utilities. Southeastern
does not own or operate any transmission facilities. Its long-term contracts provide for periodic electric rate adjustments
to ensure that the Federal Government recovers the costs of operations and the capital invested in power facilities, with
interest, in keeping with statutory requirements. As in past years, the budget continues to provide funding for annual expenses
and purchase power and wheeling expenses through discretionary offsetting collections derived from power receipts collected
to recover those expenses.
Program Direction._Provision is made for negotiation and administration of transmission and power contracts, collection of revenues, development
of wholesale power rates, amortization of the Federal power investment, energy efficiency and competitiveness program, investigation
and planning of proposed water resources projects, scheduling and dispatch of power generation, scheduling storage and release
of water, administration of contractual operation requirements, and determination of methods of operating generating plants
individually and in coordination with others to obtain maximum utilization of resources.
Purchase Power and Wheeling._Provision is made for the payment of wheeling fees and for the purchase of electricity in connection with the disposal of
power under contracts with utility companies. Customers are encouraged to use alternative funding mechanisms, including customer
advances and net billing to finance these activities. Offsetting collections to fund these ongoing operating services are
also available up to $73.6 million in 2015.
Reimbursable Program._The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (Pub. L. No. 110–161) provided Southeastern with authority to accept advance payment
from customers for reimbursable work associated with operations and maintenance activities, consistent with those authorized
in section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944. Funds received from any State, municipality, corporation, association, firm,
district or individual as an advance payment for reimbursable work will be credited to Southeastern's account and remain available
until expended.

Continuing Fund, Southeastern Power Administration
A continuing fund maintained from receipts from the sale and transmission of electric power in the Southeastern service area
is available to defray emergency expenses necessary to ensure continuity of service (16 U.S.C. 825s-2). The fund was last
activated in fiscal year 2009 to finance power purchases associated with below normal hydro power generation due to severe
drought. Consistent with sound business practices, the Southeastern Power Administration has implemented a policy to recover
all emergency costs associated with purchased power and wheeling within one year from the time funds are expended.
Operation and Maintenance, Southwestern Power Administration
For necessary expenses of operation and maintenance of power transmission facilities and of marketing electric power and energy,
for construction and acquisition of transmission lines, substations and appurtenant facilities, and for administrative expenses,
including official reception and representation expenses in an amount not to exceed $1,500 in carrying out section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s), as applied to the Southwestern Power Administration,
[$45,456,000] $46,240,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302 and section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s), up to [$33,564,000] $34,840,000 collected by the Southwestern Power Administration from the sale of power and related services shall be credited to this
account as discretionary offsetting collections, to remain available until expended, for the sole purpose of funding the annual
expenses of the Southwestern Power Administration: Provided further, That the sum herein appropriated for annual expenses shall be reduced as collections are received during the fiscal year
so as to result in a final fiscal year [2014] 2015 appropriation estimated at not more than [$11,892,000] $11,400,000: Provided further, That, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302, up to [$42,000,000] $53,000,000 collected by the Southwestern Power Administration pursuant to the Flood Control Act of 1944 to recover purchase power and
wheeling expenses shall be credited to this account as offsetting collections, to remain available until expended for the
sole purpose of making purchase power and wheeling expenditures: Provided further, That, for purposes of this appropriation, annual expenses means expenditures that are generally recovered in the same year
that they are incurred (excluding purchase power and wheeling expenses). (Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2014.)

The Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) operates in a six-state area marketing and delivering renewable hydroelectric
power produced at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' dams. Southwestern operates and maintains 1,380 miles of high voltage
transmission lines, 25 substations and switching stations, associated power system controls, and communication sites. Southwestern
is also responsible for the construction of these facilities.
Southwestern markets and delivers its power at wholesale rates primarily to public bodies and rural electric cooperatives.
In compliance with statutory requirements, Southwestern's power sales contracts provide for periodic rate adjustments to ensure
that the Federal Government recovers all costs of operations, other costs allocated to power, and the capital investments
in power facilities, with interest. Southwestern is also responsible for scheduling and dispatching power and negotiating
power sales contracts to meet changing customer load requirements. As in past years, the budget continues to provide funding
for annual expenses and purchase power and wheeling expenses through discretionary offsetting collections derived from power
receipts collected to recover those expenses.
Program Direction._Provides compensation and all related expenses for personnel who market, deliver, operate, and maintain Southwestern's high-voltage
interconnected power system and associated facilities.
Operations and Maintenance._Provides essential electrical and communications equipment replacements and upgrades, capitalized moveable equipment, technical
services, and supplies and materials necessary for the safe, reliable, and cost effective operation and maintenance of the
power system.
Purchase Power and Wheeling._Provides for the purchase and delivery of energy to meet limited peaking power contractual obligations. Federal power receipts
and alternative financing methods, including net billing, bill crediting, and customer advances are used to fund system-purchased
power support and other contractual services. Customers will provide other power resources and/or purchases for the remainder
of their firm loads.
Construction._Provides for replacement, addition or upgrade of existing infrastructure to sustain reliable delivery of power to its customers,
contain annual maintenance costs, and improve overall efficiency.
Reimbursable Program._This activity involves services provided by Southwestern to others under various types of reimbursable arrangements.

The Western Area Power Administration (Western) markets electric power in 15 central and western states from federally-owned
power plants operated primarily by the Bureau of Reclamation, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the International Boundary
and Water Commission. Western operates and maintains about 17,000 circuit-miles of high-voltage transmission lines, more than
300 substations/switchyards and associated power system controls, and communication and electrical facilities for 15 separate
power projects. Western also constructs additions and modifications to existing facilities.
In keeping with statutory requirements, Western's long-term power contracts allow for periodic rate adjustments to ensure
that the Federal Government recovers costs of operations, other costs allocated to power, and the capital investment in power
facilities, with interest.
Power is sold to wholesale customers such as municipalities, cooperatives, irrigation districts, public utility districts,
State and Federal Government agencies, and private utilities. Receipts are deposited in the Reclamation Fund, the Falcon and
Amistad Operating and Maintenance Fund, the General Fund, the Colorado River Dam Fund and the Colorado River Basins Power
Marketing Fund.
As in past years, the budget continues to provide funding for annual expenses and purchase power and wheeling expenses through
discretionary offsetting collections derived from power receipts collected to recover those expenses.
This account includes appropriations enacted in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for use by Western Area
Power Administration to complete activities authorized in section 402 of the Act.
Systems Operation and Maintenance._Provides essential electrical and communication equipment replacements and upgrades, capitalized moveable equipment, technical
services, and supplies and materials necessary for safe reliable operation and cost-effective maintenance of the power systems.
Purchase Power and Wheeling._Provision is made for the payment of wheeling fees and for the purchase of electricity in connection with the distribution
of power under contracts with utility companies, including the cost of voluntary participation in state greenhouse gas programs.
Customers are encouraged to contract for power and wheeling on their own, or use alternative funding mechanisms, including
customer advances, net billing and bill crediting to finance these activities. Ongoing operating services are also available
on a reimbursable basis.
System Construction._Western's construction and rehabilitation activity emphasizes replacement and upgrades of existing infrastructure to sustain
reliable power delivery to its customers, to contain annual maintenance costs, and to improve overall operational efficiency.
Western will continue to participate in joint construction projects with customers to encourage more widespread transmission
access.
Program Direction._Provides compensation and all related expenses for the workforce that operates and maintains Western's high-voltage interconnected
transmission system (systems operation and maintenance program), and those that plan, design, and supervise the construction
of replacements, upgrades and additions (system construction program) to the transmission facilities.
Utah Mitigation and Conservation._
Reimbursable Program._This program involves services provided by Western to others under various types of reimbursable arrangements. Western will
continue to spend out of the Colorado River Dam Fund for operations and maintenance activities associated with the Boulder
Canyon Project via a reimbursable arrangement with the Interior Department's Bureau of Reclamation. The Colorado River Dam
Fund is a revolving fund operated by the Bureau of Reclamation. Authority for Western to obligate directly from the Colorado
River Dam Fund comes from section 104(a) of the Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984.

Pursuant to section 2 of the Act of June 18, 1954, as amended, Western Area Power Administration is requesting funding for
the Falcon and Amistad Operating and Maintenance Fund to defray operations, maintenance, and emergency (OM&E) expenses for
the hydroelectric facilities at Falcon and Amistad Dams on the Rio Grande River. Most of these funds will be made available
to the United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission through a reimbursable agreement. Within the
fund, $200,000 is for an emergency reserve that will remain unobligated unless unanticipated expenses arise. Revenues in excess
of OM&E will be paid to the General Fund to repay the costs of replacements and the original investment with interest. The
budget provides funding for annual expenses through discretionary offsetting collections derived from power receipts collected
to recover those expenses.

Western Area Power Administration's (Western) operation and maintenance (O&M) and power marketing expenses for the Colorado
River Storage Project, the Colorado River Basin Project, the Seedskadee Project, the Dolores Project and the Fort Peck Project
are financed from power revenues.
Colorado River Storage Project._Western markets power and operates and maintains the power transmission facilities of the Colorado River Storage Project consisting
of four major storage units: Glen Canyon on the Colorado River in Arizona, Flaming Gorge on the Green River in Utah, Navajo
on the San Juan River in New Mexico, and the Wayne N. Aspinall unit on the Gunnison River in Colorado.
Colorado River Basin Project._This project includes Western's expenses associated with the Central Arizona Project and the United States entitlement from
the Navajo coal-fired powerplant. Revenues in excess of operating expenses are transferred to the Lower Colorado River Basin
Development Fund.
Seedskadee Project._This project includes Western's expenses for O&M, power marketing, and transmission of hydroelectric power from the Fontenelle
Dam power plant in southwestern Wyoming.
Dolores Project._This project includes Western's expenses for O&M, power marketing, and transmission of hydroelectric power from power plants
at McPhee Dam and Towaoc Canal in southwestern Colorado.
Fort Peck Project._Revenues collected by Western are used to defray operation and maintenance and power marketing expenses associated with the
power generation and transmission facilities of the Fort Peck Project, and Western operates and maintains the transmission
system and performs power marketing functions.
Equipment, Contracts and Related Expenses._Western operates and maintains approximately 4,000 miles of transmission lines, substations, switchyards, communications and
control equipment associated with this fund. Wholesale power is provided to utilities over interconnected high-voltage transmission
systems. In keeping with statutory requirements, long-term power contracts provide for periodic rate adjustments to ensure
that the Federal Government recovers all costs of O&M, and all capital invested in power, with interest. This activity provides
for the supplies, materials, services, capital equipment replacements and additions, including communications and control
equipment, purchase power, transmission and wheeling services, and interest payments to the U.S. Treasury.
Program Direction._The personnel compensation and related expenses for all these activities are quantified under Program Direction.

Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is a Federal electric power marketing agency in the Pacific Northwest. BPA markets hydroelectric
power from 21 multipurpose water resource projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and 10 projects of the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation, plus some energy from non-Federal generating projects in the region. These generating resources and BPA's
transmission system are operated as an integrated power system with operating and financial results combined and reported
as the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). BPA provides about 50 percent of the region's electric energy supply and
about three-fourths of the region's high-voltage electric power transmission capacity.
BPA is responsible for meeting the net firm power requirements of its requesting customers through a variety of means, including
energy conservation programs, acquisition of renewable and other resources, and power exchanges with utilities both in and
outside the region.
BPA will finance its operations with a business-type budget under the Government Corporation Control Act, 31 U.S.C. 9101–10,
on the basis of the self-financing authority provided by the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act of 1974 (Transmission
Act) (Public Law 93–454) and the U.S. Treasury borrowing authority provided by the Transmission Act, the Pacific Northwest
Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Pacific Northwest Power Act) (Public Law 96–501) for energy conservation, renewable
energy resources, capital fish facilities, and other purposes, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public
Law 111–5), and other legislation. Authority to borrow from the U.S. Treasury is available to the BPA on a permanent, indefinite
basis. The amount of U.S. Treasury borrowing outstanding at any time cannot exceed $7.70 billion. BPA finances its approximate
$4.3 billion annual cost of operations and investments primarily using power and transmission revenues and loans from the
U.S. Treasury.
Operating Expenses._Transmission Services.-Provides for operating over 15,000 circuit miles of high-voltage transmissions lines and 261 substations, and for maintaining
the facilities and equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 2015.
Power Services._Provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective resources. These resources are
needed to serve BPA's portion of the region's forecasted net electric load requirements. This activity also includes protection,
mitigation and enhancement of fish and wildlife affected by hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River and its tributaries
in accordance with the Pacific Northwest Power Act. This activity provides for payment of the operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs allocated to power the 31 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation hydro projects, amortization on
the capital investment in power generating facilities, and irrigation assistance at U.S. Bureau of Reclamation facilities.
This activity also provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective conservation.
It also provides for extending the benefits of low cost Federal power to the residential and small farm customers of investor-owned
and publicly-owned utilities, in accordance with the Pacific Northwest Power Act and for activities of the Pacific Northwest
Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council required by the Pacific Northwest Power Act.
Interest._Provides for payments to the U.S. Treasury for interest on U.S. Treasury borrowings to finance BPA's capital investments under
$7.70 billion of U.S. Treasury borrowing authority provided by the Transmission Act, the Pacific Northwest Power Act for energy
conservation, renewable energy resources, capital fish facilities, and other purposes, the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009, and other legislation. This interest category also includes interest on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, BPA and
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation appropriated debt.
Capital Investments-Transmission Services._Provides for the planning, design and construction of transmission lines, substation and control system additions, replacements,
and enhancements to the FCRPS transmission system for a reliable, efficient and cost-effective regional transmission system.
Provides for planning, design, and construction work to repair or replace existing transmission lines, substations, control
systems, and general facilities of the FCRPS transmission system.
Power Services._Provides for direct funding of additions, improvements, and replacements at existing Federal hydroelectric projects in the
Northwest. It also provides for capital investments to implement environmental activities, and protect, mitigate, and enhance
fish and wildlife affected by hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River and its tributaries, in accordance with the Pacific
Northwest Power Act. This activity provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective
conservation. Capital Equipment/Capitalized Bond Premium.-Provides for capital information technologies, and office furniture and equipment, and software capital development in support
of all BPA programs. It also provides for bond premiums incurred for refinancing of bonds.
Total Capital Obligations._The 2015 capital obligations are estimated to be $1.1 billion.
Contingencies._Although contingencies are not specifically funded, the need may arise to provide for purchase of power in low-water years;
for repair and/or replacement of facilities affected by natural and man-made emergencies, including the resulting additional
costs for contracting, construction, and operation and maintenance work; for unavoidable increased costs for the planned program
due to necessary but unforeseen adjustments, including engineering and design changes, contractor and other claims and relocations;
or for payment of a retrospective premium adjustment in excess nuclear property insurance.
Financing._The Transmission Act provides for the use by BPA of all receipts, collections, and recoveries in cash from all sources, including
the sale of bonds, to finance the annual budget programs of BPA. These receipts result primarily from the sale of power and
transmission services. The Transmission Act also provides for authority to borrow from the U.S. Treasury at rates comparable
to borrowings at open market rates for similar issues. BPA has $7.70 billion of U.S. Treasury borrowing authority provided
by the Transmission Act, the Pacific Northwest Power Act for energy conservation, renewable energy resources, capital fish
facilities, and other purposes, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and other legislation. At the end of 2013,
BPA had outstanding bonds with the U.S. Treasury of $3.9 billion. At the end of 2013, BPA also had $6.8 billion of non-Federal
debt outstanding, including Energy Northwest bonds. BPA will rely primarily on its U.S. Treasury borrowing authority to finance
capital projects, but may also elect to use cash reserves generated by revenues from customers or seek third party financing
sources when feasible to finance some of these investments.
In 2013, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $692 million and also expects to make payments of $658 million in 2014 and $715
million in 2015. The 2015 payment will be distributed as follows: interest on bonds and appropriations ($416 million), amortization
($209 million), and other ($90 million). BPA also received credits totaling $84 million applied against its Treasury payments
in 2013 to reflect amounts diverted to fish mitigation efforts, but not allocable to power, in the Columbia and Snake River
systems.
BPA, with input from its stakeholders, considers other strategies to sustain funding for its infrastructure investment requirements
as well. BPA's recently updated Financial Plan defines strategies and policies for guiding how BPA will manage risk and variability
of electricity markets and water years. It also describes how BPA will continue to manage to ensure it meets its Treasury
repayment responsibilities.
Direct Loans._During 2015, no new direct loan obligations may be made.
Operating Results._Total revenues are forecast at approximately $4.1 billion in 2015.
It should be noted that BPA's revenue forecasts are based on several critical assumptions about both the supply of and demand
for Federal energy. During the operating year, deviation from the conditions assumed in a rate case may result in a variation
in actual revenues of several hundred million dollars from the forecast.
Consistent with Administration policy, BPA will continue to fully recover, from the sale of electric power and transmission,
funds sufficient to cover the full cost of Civil Service Retirement System and Post-Retirement Health Benefits for its employees.
The entire cost of BPA and the power share of FCRPS U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation employees
working under the Federal Employees Retirement System is fully recovered in wholesale electric power and transmission rates.

This appropriation provides Department-wide (including the National Nuclear Security Administration and the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission) audit, inspection, and investigative functions to identify and recommend corrections for management
and administrative deficiencies, which create conditions for existing or potential instances of fraud, waste, abuse and violations
of law. The audit function provides financial and performance audits of programs and operations. The inspection function provides
independent inspections and analyses of the performance of programs and operations. The investigative function provides for
the detection and investigation of improper and illegal activities involving programs, personnel, and operations. Through
these efforts, the OIG identifies opportunities for cost savings and operational efficiencies; identifies programs that are
not meeting performance expectations; recovers monies to the Department and the Treasury as a result of civil and criminal
prosecutions; and identifies ways to make Departmental programs safer and more secure.
