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 45 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. Additionally, starting in FY 2016, Nuclear Materials
Commodities are also included in Directed Stockpile Work, in order to recognize the investment needed in nuclear materials
to maintain the viability of the enduring stockpile.
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation._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 a defined level of readiness and capability through infrastructure investments and strategy development for special
nuclear material processing and inventory management. Plans, prioritizes, and constructs state-of-the-art facilities, infrastructure,
and scientific tools for the enterprise within approved baseline costs and schedules. The RTBF program accomplishes this mission
by the modernization of NNSA infrastructure through recapitalization, capability investments, strategic development, and line-item
construction projects for the enhancement of capabilities. Capability investments are not dedicated to a single program or
weapon system and strategic planning supports the initial development and viability analysis of cost-effective solutions for
technical base.
Infrastructure and Safety._Provides for the base operations funding required to operate NNSA facilities and support underlying infrastructure and capabilities
at the level necessary to deliver mission results in a safe and secure manner. Includes resources for cross-cutting programmatic
functions such as Long Term Stewardship (formerly Environmental Projects and Operations), Nuclear Safety Research & Development,
Nuclear Criticality Safety, and the Packaging (formerly Containers) program.
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.
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.
Information Technology and Cybersecurity._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.

Beginning in FY 2016, Programs funded within the Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Appropriation support two mission areas:
1) Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Programs and 2) Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response (NCTIR) Program. The technical
activities executed under the Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation (CTCP) Program will be restructured into Defense Nuclear
Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D) and NCTIR. This move aligns all NNSA funding for preventing, countering
and responding to global nuclear dangers in one appropriation and strengthens the existing collaborative relationships among
the organizations and their shared mission focus. Together these programs execute key elements of NNSA's enduring mission:
to provide policy and technical leadership to prevent or limit the spread of materials, technology, and expertise relating
to weapons of mass destruction; advance technologies that detect the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction worldwide;
eliminate or secure inventories of surplus materials and infrastructure usable for nuclear weapons; provide a technically
trained response to incidents worldwide; and address the danger that hostile nations or terrorist groups may acquire nuclear
devices and weapons-usable material, dual-use production technology, or nuclear-related weapons of mass destruction expertise.
This proposed realignment presents with greater clarity the total funding and level of activity undertaken by NNSA in this
increasingly important area. Similarly, this realignment focuses the Weapons Activities appropriation on those activities
required to maintain a safe, secure, and effective U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile.
The major elements of the appropriation account include the following:
Global Material Security (GMS)._Supports the President's nuclear security agenda and the Secretary's goal of enhancing nuclear security through nonproliferation
by working with partner countries to increase the security of vulnerable stockpiles of nuclear weapons, weapons-usable nuclear
materials, and radiological materials and to improve partner countries' abilities to deter, detect, and interdict illicit
trafficking.
Material Management and Minimization._Presents an integrated approach to addressing the persistent threat posed by nuclear materials through a full cycle of materials
management and minimization efforts. Consistent with the priorities articulated in the National Security Strategy of the United
States and the Nuclear Posture Review, the primary objective of the program is to achieve permanent threat reduction by minimizing
and, when possible, eliminating weapons-usable nuclear material around the world.
Nonproliferation and Arms Control (NPAC)._Supports activities to prevent the proliferation or use of WMD, including dual-use materials, equipment, technology, and expertise,
by state and non-state actors. The NPAC program focuses on strengthening the nonproliferation and arms control regimes in
order to reduce proliferation and terrorism risks. This is accomplished by applying unique expertise to develop and implement
programs and strategies to: strengthen international nuclear safeguards; control the spread of dual-use WMD material, equipment,
technology, and expertise; verify nuclear reductions and compliance with nonproliferation and arms control treaties and agreements;
and develop proposals for and implement nonproliferation and arms control policy options.
Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D)._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, development of prototypes
for integration into operational systems, and the conduct of certain counterterrorism R&D activities.
Nonproliferation Construction._Consolidates construction costs for DNN programs previously contained within each program budget. U.S. Construction covers
Total Project Costs (TPC), which includes Other Project Costs (OPC) and Total Estimated Costs (TEC). Currently, the MOX Fuel
Fabrication Facility (MFFF) is the only project in this program.
Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response (NCTIR)._Strategically manages and deploys expert scientific teams and equipment to provide a technically trained, rapid response to
nuclear or radiological incidents and accidents worldwide. NCTIR evaluates and assesses nuclear or radiological threats and
leverages that knowledge to provide interagency policy and contingency planning, training and support to national counterterrorism
and counterproliferation capabilities. Finally, NCTIR also executes the DOE's emergency management and Operations Support
program that manages the Emergency Operations Centers, Emergency Communications Network and COOP activities.

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 characterizing and treating contaminated groundwater.
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. Key activities include operating the Defense Waste Processing Facility, which is solidifying the high
activity liquid waste contained in underground storage tanks, and the construction of the Salt Waste Processing Facility,
which will separate various tank waste components and treat and dispose the low activity liquid waste stream.
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.

Environment, Health, Safety and Security Mission Support._The program supports the Department's health, safety, environment, and security programs to enhance productivity while maintaining
the highest standards of safe operation, protection of national assets, and environmental sustainability. As the Department's
"environment, health, safety and security advocate," the program works closely with DOE line managers who are ultimately responsible
for ensuring that the Department's work is managed and performed in a manner that protects workers and the public as well
as the Department's material and information assets. The program functions include: policy and guidance development and technical
assistance; analysis of health, safety, environment, and security performance; nuclear safety; domestic and international
health studies; medical screening programs for former workers; Energy Employee Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act
support; quality assurance programs; interface with the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board; national security information
programs; and security for the Department's facilities and personnel in the National Capital Area.
Enterprise Assessments.—The program supports the Department's independent analysis of security, cyber security, emergency management, and environment,
safety and health perfromance; enforcement of worker safety and health, nuclear safety; and classified information security
regulations; and implementation of safety and security professional development and training programs.
Office of Specialized Security Activities._The program supports national security related analyses requiring highly specialized skills and capabilities.Office of Legacy Management._The program supports long-term stewardship activities (e.g., groundwater monitoring, disposal cell maintenance, records management,
and management of natural resources) at sites where active remediation has been completed. In addition, Legacy Management
funds the pensions and/or post-retirement benefits for former contractor employees.

Advanced Scientific Computing Research._The Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program supports research in applied mathematics and computer science; delivers
the most advanced computational scientific applications in partnership with disciplinary science; advances computing and networking
capabilities; and develops future generations of computing hardware and tools for science, in partnership with the research
community and US industry. The strategy to accomplish this has two thrusts: developing and maintaining world-class computing
and network facilities for science; and advancing research in applied mathematics, computer science and advanced networking.
The program 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.
ASCR also partners with the National Nuclear Security Administration to make strategic investments in hardware, methods, and
critical technologies to address the exascale technical challenges and accelerate the development of a capable exascale system,
which will help scientists harness the thousand-fold increase in capability to address critical research challenges and will
maintain U.S. competitiveness in high performance computing.
Basic Energy Sciences._The Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program supports fundamental research to understand, predict, and ultimately control matter
and energy at the electronic, atomic, and molecular levels in order to provide the foundations for new energy technologies
and to support DOE missions in energy, environment, and national security. Key to exploiting such discoveries is the ability
to create new materials using sophisticated synthesis and processing techniques, precisely define the atomic arrangements
in matter, and control physical and chemical transformations. The energy systems of the future, whether they tap sunlight,
store electricity, or make fuel by splitting water or reducing carbon dioxide will revolve around materials and chemical changes
that convert energy from one form to another.
The research disciplines that BES supports—condensed matter and materials physics, chemistry, geosciences, and aspects of
physical biosciences—are those that discover new materials and design new chemical processes that touch virtually every important
aspect of energy resources, production, conversion, transmission, storage, efficiency, and waste mitigation. BES research
provides a knowledge base to help understand, predict, and ultimately control the natural world and helps build the foundation
to achieve the vision of a secure and sustainable energy future. BES core research awards support individual scientists and
small groups to pursue discovery-driven research with broad energy relevance. BES supports two innovative approaches to integrated
research: Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) and Energy Innovation Hubs. BES also supports world-class, open-access
scientific user facilities consisting of a complementary set of intense x-ray sources, neutron sources, and research centers
for nanoscale science. BES facilities probe materials with ultrahigh spatial, temporal, and energy resolutions to investigate
the critical functions of matter—transport, reactivity, fields, excitations, and motion—and answer some of the most challenging
grand science questions. BES-supported activities are entering a new era in which materials can be built with atom-by-atom
precision and computational models can predict the behavior of materials before they exist.
Biological and Environmental Research._The Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program supports fundamental research and provides scientific user facilities
to achieve a predictive understanding of complex biological, climatic, and environmental systems for a secure and sustainable
energy future.
The program seeks to understand the continuum of biological, biogeochemical, and physical processes needed to describe both
simple and complex genomes, on the smallest scales, to environmental and Earth system change, on the largest scales. The program
strives to identify and explain how genomic information is translated to functional capabilities, enabling more knowledgeable
redesign of microbes and plants for sustainable biofuels production, improved carbon storage, and understanding the biological
transformation of materials such as nutrients and contaminants in the environment. BER research also advances understanding
of how the Earth's dynamic, physical, and biogeochemical systems (the atmosphere, land, oceans, sea ice, and subsurface) interact
and cause future climate and environmental change, to provide information that will inform plans for future energy and resource
needs.
Fusion Energy Sciences._The Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program mission is 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. This is accomplished through
the study of plasma, the fourth state of matter, and how it interacts with its surroundings. The next frontier for all the
major fusion programs around the world is the study of the burning plasma state, in which the fusion process itself provides
the dominant heat source for sustaining the plasma temperature (i.e., self-heating). Production of strongly self-heated fusion
plasma will allow the discovery and study of a number of new scientific phenomena. These include the effects of highly energetic
fusion produced helium particles on plasma stability and confinement; the strongly non-linear coupling that will occur among
fusion alpha particles, the pressure-driven self-generated current, turbulent transport, and boundary-plasma behavior; the
properties of materials in the presence of high heat and particle fluxes and neutron irradiation; and the self-organized nature
of plasma profiles over long time scales.
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. The FES request continues support for
three domestic fusion research facilities (National Spherical Torus Experiment, DIII-D, and the final year of 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. The FES request provides support for the U.S. contribution to ITER, an international project
that aims to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion energy. 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 mission is to understand how the universe works at its most fundamental level by discovering
the elementary constituents of matter and energy, probing the interactions between them, and exploring the basic nature of
space and time. The High Energy Physics Program offers research opportunities for individual investigators and small-scale
collaborations, as well as very large international collaborations. The program enables scientific discovery through a strategy
organized along three frontiers of particle physics. 1) The Energy Frontier, where researchers accelerate particles to the
highest energies ever made by humans and collide them to produce and study the fundamental constituents of matter. This requires
some of the largest machines ever built. 2) The Intensity Frontier, where researchers use a combination of intense particle
beams and highly sensitive detectors to make extremely precise measurements of particle properties, study some of the rarest
particle interactions predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics, and search for new physics. 3) The Cosmic Frontier,
where researchers seek to reveal the nature of dark matter and dark energy by using naturally occurring particles to explore
new phenomena. The highest-energy particles ever observed have come from cosmic sources, and the ancient light from distant
galaxies allows the distribution of dark matter to be mapped and perhaps the nature of dark energy to be unraveled. Investments
in Theoretical and Computational Physics, which provides the framework to explain experimental observations and gain a deeper
understanding of nature, and Advanced Technology R&D, which fosters fundamental research into particle acceleration and detection
techniques and instrumentation, support these three frontiers. Many of the advanced technologies and research tools originally
developed for high energy physics have also proven widely applicable to other sciences as well as industry, medicine, and
national security.
The request includes support for 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,
and the Cosmic Frontier program using sensitive, state-of-the-art detectors underground, in space, and mounted on telescopes.
Nuclear Physics._The Nuclear Physics (NP) program mission is to discover, explore, and understand all forms of nuclear matter. Although the
fundamental particles that compose nuclear matter, quarks and gluons, are themselves relatively well understood, exactly how
they interact and combine to form the different types of matter observed in the universe today and during its evolution remains
largely unknown. Nuclear physicists seek to understand not just the familiar forms of matter we see around us, but also exotic
forms such as those which existed in the first moments after the Big Bang and that exist today inside neutron stars, and to
understand why matter takes on the specific forms now observed in nature.
The NP program addresses three broad, yet tightly interrelated, scientific thrusts: Quantum Chromodynamics, Nuclei and Nuclear
Astrophysics, and Fundamental Symmetries that can be probed by studying neutrons and nuclei. Quantum Chromodynamics seeks
to develop a complete understanding of how the fundamental particles that compose nuclear matter, the quarks and gluons, assemble
themselves into composite nuclear particles such as protons and neutrons, how nuclear forces arise between these composite
particles that lead to nuclei, and what forms of bulk, strongly interacting matter can exist in nature, such as the quark-gluon
plasma. Nuclei and Nuclear Astrophysics seeks to understand how protons and neutrons combine to form atomic nuclei, including
some now being observed for the first time and how these nuclei have arisen during the 13.8 billion years since the birth
of the cosmos. Fundamental Symmetries seeks to develop a better understanding of fundamental interactions by studying the
properties of neutrons and by targeted, single focus experiments using nuclei to study whether the neutrino is its own anti-particle.
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 Science Laboratories Infrastructure (SLI) program supports scientific and technological innovation at the Office of Science
(SC) laboratories by funding and sustaining mission-ready infrastructure and fostering safe and environmentally responsible
operations. The program provides the infrastructure necessary to support world leadership by the SC national laboratories
in the area of basic scientific research, now and in the future. The SLI program's primary focus is on long-term modernization
of SC laboratory facilities and infrastructure to ensure the mission readiness of SC laboratories by providing state-of-the-art
facilities and infrastructure that are flexible, reliable, and sustainable in support of scientific discovery. The SLI program
also funds Payments in Lieu of Taxes to local communities around the Argonne, Brookhaven, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories.
Safeguards and Security._The Safeguards and Security (S&S) program is designed to ensure appropriate security measures are in place to support the
SC mission requirement of open scientific research and to protect critical assets within SC laboratories. This is accomplished
by providing physical controls that will mitigate possible risks to the laboratories' employees, nuclear and special materials,
classified and sensitive information, and facilities. The S&S program also provides funding for cyber security for the laboratories'
information technology systems to protect electronic data while enabling the SC mission.
Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists._The Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) program mission is to help ensure that DOE has a sustained pipeline
of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workers. This is accomplished through support of undergraduate
internships, graduate thesis research, and visiting faculty programs at the DOE laboratories; the Albert Einstein Distinguished
Educator Fellowship for K–12 STEM teachers, administered by WDTS for DOE and for a number of other federal agencies; and annual,
nationwide, middle- and high-school science competitions culminating in the National Science Bowl in Washington, DC. These
investments help develop the next generation of scientists and engineers to support the DOE mission, administer programs,
and conduct research.
Program Direction._This program supports a highly skilled Federal workforce to develop and oversee SC investments in world-leading research and
scientific user facilities SC investments deliver scientific discoveries and major scientific tools that transform our understanding
of nature and advance the energy, economic, and national security of the United States. In addition, SC provides public access
to DOE scientific findings to further leverage the Federal science investment and advance the scientific enterprise. SC requires
highly skilled scientific and technical program and project managers, as well as experts in areas such as acquisition, finance,
legal, construction, and infrastructure management, human resources, and environmental, safety, and health oversight. SC plans,
executes, and manages basic science research programs that address critical national needs. Oversight of DOE's basic research
portfolio, which includes grants and contracts supporting nearly 22,000 researchers located at 300 universities and 17 national
laboratories, as well as supervision of major construction projects, is a Federal responsibility, as is the oversight of SC's
state-of-the-art scientific user facilities, the large machines of modern science, accessed by nearly 31,000 university, government,
and industry users annually.

The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) was established by the America COMPETES
Act of 2007 (Public Law 110–69), as amended. The mission of ARPA-E is to enhance the economic and energy security of the United
States through the development of energy technologies that reduce imports of energy from foreign sources, increase energy
efficiency, and reduce energy-related emissions, including greenhouse gases. ARPA-E will 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 that can be meaningfully
advanced with a small investment over a defined period of time.

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 Advanced
Nuclear Reactors and Light Water Reactor Sustainability. 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 supports 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.

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 sites 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 2016 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 2016
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 2019 to fund the balance of the
annual program costs.
The program envisioned in the FY 2016 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.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Federal Energy Management Program._This program provides technical expertise, training, resources, and contracting support to help Federal agencies meet relevant
energy, water, greenhouse gas, transportation, and sustainable buildings goals as defined in statute and Executive Orders.
Weatherization and Intergovernmental._This program supports the deployment of clean energy technologies and practices in partnership with State, local, and U.S.
territory governments. The State Energy Program provides technical and financial resources to States to help them achieve
their energy efficiency and renewable energy goals. Funding also supports local government energy program and project planning,
development, and implementation through technical assistance and grants awarded on a competitive basis. The Weatherization
Assistance Program lowers energy use and costs for low income families by supporting energy-efficient home retrofits through
State-managed networks of local weatherization providers.
Corporate Programs:
Strategic Programs._The mission of the Office of Strategic Programs is to increase the effectiveness and impact of all EERE activities by funding
and guiding EERE 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 analytic support for decision making and management of the EERE
portfolio.
Facilities and Infrastructure.—This activity 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 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.

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, accounting, and assessment; 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 also continue collaborative research
and development work with the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of the Interior to ensure that shale gas
development is conducted in a manner that is environmentally sound and protective of human health and safety. In FY 2016,
the Fossil Energy Research and Development program will initiate new work focused on developing technologies to monitor and
reduce emissions from midstream natural gas infrastructure and initiate emission quantification program activities focused
on natural gas infrastructure.
Program Direction and Management Support.—The program provides 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 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) in California (Elk Hills), post-sale
environmental assessment/remediation activities continue to be required by the legally binding agreements 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, and confirmatory sampling. In FY 2016, these activities will continue to serve as the basis for requests to
DTSC to release DOE from further corrective action for 131 areas of concern at NPR-1.
This account also funds activities at Naval Petroleum Reserve 3 (NPR-3) in Wyoming (Teapot Dome). NPR-3 will have completed
Phase I and II of the approved disposition plan with the transfer of NPR-3 to the new owner, estimated to occur in the second
quarter of FY 2015. Phase III of the disposition plan will continue with mitigation and closure of the landfill per Wyoming
Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) requirements and compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulatory
requirements as required. Cultural resource mitigation activities will comply with the National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) and the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). Phase III will also include
the final closeout of the Casper office including disposal of remaining equipment and personal property, records management
processing and contract closure. Phase III is estimated to be completed in the second quarter of FY 2016.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) provides strategic and economic security against foreign and domestic disruptions in
oil supplies via an emergency stockpile of crude oil. The program fulfills U.S. obligations under the International Energy
Program, which avails the U.S. of International Energy Agency assistance through its coordinated energy emergency response
plans, and provides a deterrent against energy supply disruptions. This level of funding in FY 2016 will provide for the management,
operations, maintenance, and security of the Government's four storage sites and infrastructure, and maintains SPR readiness
and capability to respond to energy supply disruptions. The program will continue to address cavern testing and remediation;
degasification of crude oil inventory to ensure its availability; increased support for major maintenance requirements to
address an aging infrastructure, $20 million to begin to reduce a backlog of delayed projects, and includes the addition of
a custody transfer flow metering skid for Big Hill site's distribution flexibility and reliability.

The SPR Petroleum Account was established in the Treasury pursuant to the provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1981 (P.L. 97–35). This account funds all Strategic Petroleum Reserve petroleum inventory acquisitions, associated
transportation costs, U.S. Customs duties, terminal throughput charges and other related miscellaneous costs. During an emergency
drawdown and sale, the SPR Petroleum Account is the source of funding for the incremental costs of withdrawing oil from the
storage caverns and transporting it to the point where purchasers take title. In 2014, the SPR performed an operational Test
Sale resulting in $468,564,599 in receipts. The Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve (NGSR) was established in the SPR Petroleum
Account and funds all aspects of the gasoline reserve. A portion of the test sale receipts ($235,587,000) were the source
for all Gasoline Reserve requirements. Balances will fund activities in FY 2015 and FY 2016.

The U.S. 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. As the Nation's premier
source of energy information, EIA conducts a data collection program covering the full spectrum of energy sources, end uses,
and energy flows; generates short- and long-term domestic and international energy projections; and performs timely, informative
energy analyses. The FY 2016 Budget Request maintains EIA's core energy information program; continues efforts to expand domestic
energy data coverage and project three to five year mid-term energy trends; and addresses critical energy data gaps to meet
the needs of policymakers and markets. To address these data gaps, EIA will develop survey and other data on monthly movements
of crude oil by rail; monthly estimates of electricity generation by distributed renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaics;
and the use of energy for treatment and pumping in agricultural and potable water systems. EIA will also serve markets and
policymakers by providing new information such as near-real-time data on regional and national electricity flows; monthly
oil production data disaggregated by crude quality; and more granular data on energy use in residential and commercial buildings.
EIA will collaborate with counterparts in Canada and Mexico to improve the quality and transparency of North American energy
data through reconciliation of data on energy trade flows among the three countries; extension of energy mapping capabilities
(building on EIA's existing platform); development of common terminologies; and sharing of views to enable improved forward-looking
projections and outlooks for within-region energy flows.

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 initiating 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 protecting the reliability of the Nation's 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. 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. 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 is currently undergoing a complex
multi-year renovation effort to realize mandated space savings with a target of completion during FY 2020. In FY 2015, the
Commission is expecting to fund $19.7 million of the project using prior year unobligated budget authority. The FY 2016 request
includes increases of approximately $2.5 million over the FY 2015 Enacted Level to continue the modernization effort and an
additional $6.9 million to cover rent increases as a result of an increased rental rate in the lease renewal.

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 2016 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 2024 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 2016 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 $6 million in FY 2016 to operate 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 direct loan
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 Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, 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 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.

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 2015, $24 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 2016
Budget does not include any additional loan authority or appropriated credit subsidy as the program will focus on deploying
the remaining loan authority appropriated in prior years. The FY 2016 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 2016 to operate the Office and support personnel and
associated costs. This request is intended to be offset by $42 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.

Section 2602(c) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct of 2005) authorizes the Department to provide loan guarantees (as
defined in section 502 of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 661a)) for an amount equal to not more than 90 percent
of the unpaid principal and interest due on any loan made to an Indian tribe for energy development that will provide, or
expand the provision of, electricity on Indian land. To carry out this authority, DOE is establishing the Tribal Energy Loan
Guarantee Program (TELGP). The Secretary of Energy will encourage cooperative arrangements between Indian tribes and utilities
that provide service to Indian tribes as the Secretary determines to be appropriate. The aggregate outstanding amount guaranteed
by the Department at any time will not exceed $2 billion. The decision to issue loan guarantees will depend on the merits
and benefits of particular project proposals and their compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements. The Loan Programs
Office (LPO) will administer the program and coordinate with the Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs (IE). This collaboration
will allow the TELGP to utilize existing staff and expertise within LPO, while minimizing overhead costs and other related
expenses typically associated with establishing a new program, as well as the ongoing costs of administering the program.
The Department requests $2 million in FY 2016 to operate the TELGP 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. 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.

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.
825s), as applied to the southeastern power area, [$7,220,000] $6,900,000, including official reception and representation expenses in an amount not to exceed $1,500, 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 [$7,220,000] $6,900,000 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 [2015] 2016 appropriation estimated at not more than $0: Provided further, That, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302, up to [$73,579,000] $66,500,000 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
that they are incurred (excluding purchase power and wheeling expenses). (Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015.)

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 $66.5 million in 2016.
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,

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 Purchase Power Drought Fund would allow Southwestern to pre-collect funds through power rates for use in times of below
average water and drought conditions. This fund would supplement Southwestern's current authorities and would minimize the
necessity to invoke the Continuing Fund for the Purchase Power and Wheeling expenses and mitigate the rate volatility associated
with such activation.
White River Minimum Flow
In 2010, Southwestern compensated the licensee of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Project No. 2221 $26,563,700
for impacts of the White River Minimum Flows project. Under this legislation, Southwestern also has the authority to collect
and disburse receipts for Purchase Power and Wheeling expenses as a result of the implementation of the White River Minimum
Flows project. Southwestern has made final payment to the licensee of FERC Project No. 2221 from this account.

A continuing fund maintained from receipts from the sale and transmission of electric power in the Southwestern service area,
is available permanently for emergency expenses necessary to ensure continuity of electric service and continuous operation
of the facilities. The fund is also available on an ongoing basis to pay for purchase power and wheeling expenses when the
Administrator determines that such expenses are necessary to meet contractual obligations for the sale and delivery of power
during periods of below-average generation (16 U.S.C. 825s-1 as amended further by Public Law No. 101–101). The fund was last
activated in fiscal year 2009 to repair and replace damaged transmission lines due to an ice storm.

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.
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.

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 finances 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 260 substations, and for maintaining
the facilities and equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 2016.
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.

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 2016 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 2014,
BPA had outstanding bonds with the U.S. Treasury of $4.2 billion. At the end of 2014, BPA also had $7.2 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 2014, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $991 million and also expects to make payments of $713 million in 2015 and $710
million in 2016. The 2016 payment will be distributed as follows: interest on bonds and appropriations ($403 million), amortization
($207 million), and other ($99 million). BPA also received credits totaling $104 million applied against its Treasury payments
in 2014 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 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 2016, no new direct loan obligations may be made.
Operating Results._Total revenues are forecast at approximately $4.0 billion in 2016.
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 inspection and analysis 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 efficiency; 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.
