         This appropriation supports the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) core programs by providing funds for independent Office
            of Inspector General (OIG) audit, evaluation, and investigative products and advisory services. These products and services
            consistently provide significant positive monetary return on investment and contribute substantially to risk reduction, improved
            environmental quality and human health, as well as improved business practices, operational efficiency, and accountability.
            Specifically, the OIG performs contract audits and investigations that focus on costs claimed by contractors and assess the
            effectiveness of contract management. Assistance agreement audits and investigations evaluate the award, administration, and
            costs of assistance agreements. Program audits, evaluations, and investigations determine the extent to which the desired
            results or benefits envisioned by the Administration and the Congress are being achieved, and identify activities that could
            undermine the integrity, efficiency, and effectiveness of EPA programs. Financial statement audits review financial systems
            and statements to ensure that adequate controls are in place and EPA's accounting information is timely, accurate, reliable
            and useful, and complies with applicable laws and regulations. Efficiency, risk assessment, and program performance audits
            review the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of operations by examining EPA's structure and processes for achieving environmental
            goals, including assessing risk, setting priorities, developing implementation strategies, and measuring performance. Information
            resource management audits review EPA information technology and systems to test the integrity of data and systems controls,
            as well as compliance with a variety of Federal information security laws and requirements. Investigations prevent, detect,
            and seek prosecution for criminal activity and serious misconduct in EPA programs and operations. Major areas of investigative
            focus include: financial fraud, infrastructure/terrorist threat, program integrity, employee integrity, cyber crimes, and
            theft of intellectual or sensitive data. In addition, the EPA Inspector General serves as the IG for the U.S. Chemical Safety
            and Hazard Investigation Board, providing the full range of audit, evaluation, and investigative services specified by the
            Inspector General Act, as amended. Additional funds for audit, evaluation, and investigative activities associated with the
            Superfund Trust Fund are appropriated under that account and transferred to the Inspector General account. This appropriation
            also supports activities under the Working Capital Fund.

         This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology, environmental monitoring, research, and development activities
            including laboratory and center supplies, certain operating expenses (including activities under the Working Capital Fund),
            contracts, grants, intergovernmental agreements, and purchases of scientific equipment. In addition, the Administrator will
            employ persons in the Office of Research and Development under the authority provided in 42 U.S.C. 209. These activities provide
            the scientific and technology basis for EPA policy and regulatory development actions. This appropriation supports core Agency
            programs and each of the Agency's five goals. Specifically in 2016, EPA will place emphasis on the following:
         
         Taking Action on Climate Change and Improving Air Quality._To develop and implement strategies to address climate change and improve air quality, EPA will conduct a range of science
            and technology activities. These include research to inform the review of the national ambient air quality standards that
            builds upon new science and work already performed to improve understanding of ozone, particulate matter, lead, sulfur dioxide,
            carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide. In 2016, the Air, Climate and Energy (ACE) research program will identify air quality
            benefits associated with climate mitigation and adaptation choices to inform national and regional climate decisions. The
            program also will conduct systems research and life cycle analysis to understand the production, operation, and impacts of
            energy systems on health and the environment. Research on the generation, fate, transport, and chemical transformation of
            air emissions will identify individual and population health risks to inform clean air management decisions in the context
            of a changing climate and evolving energy use. The ACE research program will also develop and evaluate new approaches for
            monitoring levels of air pollutantsâincluding air toxicsâ that may be used to enhance and reduce the cost and/or burden of
            monitoring for communities and industrial facilities. In conjunction with the Safe and Sustainable Water Resources (SSWR)
            research program , EPA will coordinate with the Department of Energy and the U.S. Geological Survey to understand and address
            potential impacts of natural gas development using hydraulic fracturing. The integration of these program elements recognizes
            the relationship between climate and air quality, and aims to promote sustainable energy production with minimal unintended
            public health and ecosystem consequences. EPA will continue collecting data to inform implementation of the Cross-State Air
            Pollution Rule (CSAPR). EPA will also develop, implement, and ensure compliance with regulatory programs that will significantly
            reduce emissions from highway and non-road sources, including the implementation of greenhouse gas emission standards for
            light-duty and heavy duty vehicles. EPA will continue to implement the renewable fuels provisions of the Energy Policy Act
            of 2005 (P.L. 109â58) and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (P.L. 110â140). In addition, EPA will develop tools
            for State and local governments and Tribes to use in developing clean air plans to achieve air quality standards. EPA will
            conduct field measurements and assessments and provide technical support for indoor air quality remediations that primarily
            focus on Tribal communities.
         
         Protecting America's Waters._In 2016, through the SSWR program, EPA will conduct research to meet the following science needs articulated by EPA's water
            program: evaluating groups of contaminants for the protection of human health and the environment; developing innovative tools,
            technologies, and strategies for managing water resources (including stormwater); and supporting a systems approach for protecting
            and restoring aquatic systems. The systems approach includes research to inform setting water quality criteria, establishing
            measures to assess and manage watersheds, and developing effective source control and management methods, especially for urban
            uses. A major component of the research program is working to support EPA's Drinking Water Strategy.The SSWR program will address potential water supply endangerments associated with hydraulic fracturing. In addition to continuing
               work associated with its ongoing study, EPA will coordinate with the Department of Energy and the U.S. Geological Survey to
               understand and address potential impacts of natural gas development using hydraulic fracturing.Within the SSWR program, green infrastructure research will continue to assess, develop, and compile scientifically rigorous
               tools and models that will be used by EPA's Office of Water, States and municipalities. In addition, SSWR and the other research
               programs are demonstrating innovative water technologies that will help the Army meet its goals of Net Zero energy, water,
               and waste by 2020 across the country and overseas. Currently, there are demonstration sites at Fort Riley, in Kansas, and
               at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State.
         Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._The Sustainable and Healthy Communities (SHC) research program, including Superfund research, incorporates the principles
            of sustainability into its research in many capacities to promote sustainable environmental technologies with a focus on developing
            a new generation of smart technologies to address environmental conditions in a community. Superfund research costs are appropriated
            to the Hazardous Substance Superfund Trust Fund appropriation and transferred to this account to allow for proper accounting.
            In 2016, the SHC research program will develop decision support tools to enable communities' decision makers to solve complex
            human health and environmental problems. The program will identify health risks and stressors, especially those that disproportionately
            impact vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly.SHC's decision support tools focus on social, economic, health, and ecological outcomes when making critical decisions about
               transportation, materials management and solid waste, land use, and the built environment. SHC's products provide an opportunity
               for decision makers to utilize an integrated systems approach to simultaneously address all of these objectives while avoiding
               unanticipated consequences. SHC's research products inform and empower decision-makers to equitably integrate human health,
               socio-economic, and environmental factors into their decisions. SHC's research products also provide the EPA's regional and
               program offices with tools to identify more cost effective means to implement regulations and ensure regulatory compliance.Examples of the application of SHC's decision support tools include: integrating research on pesticide and toxic substances
               with research on human health and ecosystems; mapping, monitoring, and modeling pollutants such as nitrogen; conducting ecosystem
               type assessments; and assessing risk management decisions for human health. A component of this research will focus on decreasing
               risks to vulnerable communities and groups that are disproportionately affected by existing problems.In 2016, EPA's Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) program will continue efforts to develop assessments and scientific products
               that are used extensively by EPA Program and Regional offices, and other parties, to estimate the potential risk to public
               health from exposure to environmental contaminants, to develop regulatory standards, and to manage environmental clean-ups.
               The HHRA research program provides the scientific foundation for Agency actions to protect public health and the environment
               with four specific components:(1) Integrated Risk Information System health hazard and dose-response assessments;(2) Integrated Science Assessments of criteria air pollutants;(3) Community Risk and Technical Support for exposure and health assessments; and(4) Methods, models, and approaches to modernize risk assessment for the 21st century.Homeland Security Research.âThe Homeland Security Research program will continue to support research efforts on evaluating chemical, biological, and
               radiological (CBR) analytical methods; event detection software; and calibration of contaminant warning systems. The Homeland
               Security Research program will conduct research on decontamination and management of its consequences for public health, as
               well as methods for protecting water infrastructures and assessing both threats, and their consequences. In 2016, decontamination
               and consequence management research will transition from indoor releases to technologies addressing wide-area events such
               as releases in a city center or transit system. Water Infrastructure Protection Research will focus on developing and testing
               decontamination approaches for water infrastructure and on treating CBR contaminated water caused by terrorist attacks, natural
               disasters, and/or accidents. Research on real-time distribution system models and methods to isolate and treat contaminated
               water, clean distribution systems, redirect water, and return water systems to service quickly and affordably is in progress.
               In 2016, as part of the Water Security Initiative (WSI), EPA will carry out a national training program for water systems
               on recently completed guidance and electronic tools to design and deploy a Water Quality Surveillance and Response System.
               Deployment of a Water Quality Surveillance and Response System can allow a water utility to rapidly detect and respond to
               water quality problems such as contamination in the distribution system in order to reduce public health and economic consequences.
               The EPA will also continue to support water sector-specific agency responsibilities, including the Water Alliance for Threat
               Reduction, to protect the nation's critical water infrastructure. EPA will continue to oversee the regional laboratory networks
               that form the Water Laboratory Alliance, which enables the water sector to rapidly analyze a surge of laboratory samples during
               a significant contamination event. Also EPA will promote more robust drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater system resilience
               by increasing the national prominence of the Climate Ready Water Utilities (CRWU) initiative. The EPA will also support cybersecurity
               activities within the water infrastructure sector pursuant to Executive Order 13636, Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.Ensuring the Safety of Chemicals and Preventing Pollution._Impacts to people or the environment from chemicals can occur at any point from the extraction of raw materials to the chemical's
            end of life, when it is disposed of or recycled. The EPA's Chemical Safety for Sustainability Research Program (CSS) is designed
            to strengthen the Agency's ability to evaluate and predict the potential environmental and human health impacts from use of
            manufactured chemicals throughout their lifecycle. In 2016, CSS will lead development of innovative science to support safe,
            sustainable design and use of chemicals and materials required to promote human and environmental health, as well as to protect
            vulnerable populations. The CSS program will will support the development and application of improved and new computational
            systems, models of pathways and tissues; rapid cost-efficient exposure models; and user-friendly web based tools for analysis
            and decision support. In 2016, EPA will continue its collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Food
            and Drug Administration (FDA), under the auspices of the Tox21 consortium. Tox21's high-speed robot screening system will
            continue testing over 8,000 different chemicals, including nanomaterials and other chemicals found in industrial and consumer
            products, food additives, and drugs, for potential toxicity. Additionally, the CSS research program plans to:(1) Provide partners, decision makers, and other Agency Research Programs with intuitive and user-friendly decision support
               tools and graphical depictions of chemical data to aid with risk-based prioritization using the CSS Dashboard(2) Produce chemical structure files that cover the EPA's eco-toxicological databases, high throughput testing programs like
               ToxCast and Tox21, and the FDA's food additive database(3) Provide and demonstrate solutions for the sustainable design, production, and use of new chemicals using life cycle chemical
               assessments in order to encourage the use of green engineering principles by manufacturers(4) Apply and demonstrate newer computational toxicology approaches that will enhance the pace and efficiency of the Endocrine
               Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP); and(5) Apply computational and knowledge driven approaches to amplify the impact of research on engineered nanomaterials (ENMs)
               and on evaluation of emerging safer chemical alternatives.In 2016, the Agency will protect human health by ensuring the availability of appropriate analytical methods for detecting
               pesticide residues in food and feed, ensuring suitability for monitoring pesticide residues, and enforcing tolerances. EPA
               will accomplish this by developing and validating multi-residue pesticide analytical methods for food, feed, and water for
               use by other Federal and State laboratories, and subsequently the program office. Laboratories further support the estimation
               of human health risks from pesticide use by operating the National Pesticide Standard Repository (NPSR). The NPSR will also
               protect the environment by supporting Federal and State laboratories involved in enforcement activities.
         Enforcing Environmental Laws._In 2016, EPA's Forensics Support program will continue to provide specialized scientific and technical support for the Nation's
            most complex civil and criminal enforcement cases, as well as technical expertise for Agency compliance efforts. This work
            is critical to determining non-compliance and building viable enforcement cases. The EPA's National Enforcement Investigations
            Center (NEIC) is a fully accredited environmental forensics center under International Standards Organization 17025, the main
            standard used by testing and calibration laboratories, as recommended by the National Academy of Sciences. NEIC works closely
            with the EPA Criminal Investigation Division to provide technical support (e.g., sampling, analysis, consultation and testimony)
            to criminal investigations. NEIC also works closely with the Regional Offices to provide technical assistance, consultation,
            on-site inspection, investigation, and case resolution services in support of the EPA's Civil Enforcement program.NEIC will continue to apply its technical resources in support of EPA's national enforcement priorities, and support the technical
               aspects of criminal investigations. Efforts to stay at the forefront of environmental enforcement in 2016 include focused
               refinement of single and multi-media compliance monitoring investigation approaches, customized laboratory methods to solve
               unusual enforcement case challenges, and applied research and development in both laboratory and field applications.
         Enabling and Support Programs._EPA's Enabling and Support Programs provide the people, facilities, and systems necessary to operate the programs funded by
            the Science and Technology appropriations. The offices and the functions they perform are: Administration and Resources Management
            (facilities infrastructure and operations) and Environmental Information (information technology/data management).

         This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement,
            control, and compliance activities and administrative activities of the operating programs, including activities under the
            Working Capital Fund. This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the Agency's five goals. Specifically in
            2016, EPA will emphasize the following:
         
         Taking Action on Climate Change and Improving Air Quality._To protect and improve air quality and reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, EPA will apply a variety
            of approaches and tools. EPA will develop and implement strategies to attain ambient air quality standards for the six criteria
            pollutants: ozone, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and lead. EPA will reduce regional
            haze through regional approaches where significant transport of pollutants occurs. EPA will also develop control measures
            for sources that are best regulated at the Federal level. EPA will continue to develop and issue national technology-based
            and risk-based standards using a sector-based approach to reduce the quantity of toxic air pollutants emitted from industrial
            and manufacturing processes, as well as from urban sources. EPA will proceed with performing analyses to develop New Source
            Performance Standards, consistent with Clean Air Act requirements. The Acid Rain program will continue its market-based approach
            to achieving reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide, primarily from electric utilities. The market-based approach will also be
            used in other programs, where permitted under the Clean Air Act, to reduce emissions of air pollutants. EPA will use its authority
            under the Clean Air Act to continue efforts to reduce GHGs domestically and internationally through cost-effective, non-regulatory
            programs, while also pursuing regulatory options. Through implementation of the mandatory Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule, EPA
            will work with sources to obtain high quality data in a cost-effective manner. EPA will continue to provide support and oversight
            for local, State, and Tribal permitting authorities to efficiently process GHG permits, as well as issue permits directly
            to sources where there is no delegated permitting authority. EPA will continue partnerships with businesses and other sectors
            to help reduce GHGs through the greater use of energy efficient technologies and products that contribute to cleaner air.
            The voluntary government-industry partnership programs are designed to capitalize on the opportunities that consumers, businesses,
            and organizations have for making sound investments in efficient equipment, policies, practices, and transportation choices.
            EPA will continue to coordinate the implementation of the Global Methane Initiative to enhance global cooperation and expand
            efforts to capture and use methane as a clean alternative energy source. EPA will also participate with other agencies to
            help global efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide and other GHG emissions. EPA will implement voluntary
            outreach and partnership programs with State, Tribal, and local governments to improve indoor air quality and reduce potential
            risks to the public (including radon) in homes, schools, and workplaces. In addition, EPA will develop and use voluntary and
            regulatory programs, public information, and training to reduce public exposure to radiation. EPA will focus its domestic
            and international efforts to ensure that ozone-depleting substance production and import caps under the Montreal Protocol
            and Clean Air Act continue to be met.
         
         Protecting America's Waters._To protect and restore our waters to ensure that drinking water is safe, and that aquatic ecosystems sustain fish, plants
            and wildlife, as well as support economic, recreational, and subsistence activities, EPA will focus on several key strategies.
            Strong support is provided for helping communities address their water and wastewater infrastructure needs through a multifaceted
            approach. In conjunction with significant support provided through the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Funds,
            $50 million is provided for technical assistance, training, and other efforts to enhance the capacity of communities, states,
            and private investors to plan and finance drinking water and wastewater infrastructure improvements. EPA will work with states,
            tribes, and communities to promote innovative practices that advance water system and community resiliency and sustainability.
            Funding is included to advance administrative efforts necessary for a future Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Authority
            program, and to support the water finance center and other activities of the Administration's Build America Investment Initiative.
            EPA's strategy for helping systems provide safe drinking water over the next several years includes developing or revising
            drinking water standards, supporting States, Tribes, and water systems in implementing standards, promoting sustainable management
            of water infrastructure, and protecting sources of drinking water from contamination. EPA will facilitate the ecosystem-scale
            protection and restoration of natural areas by supporting continuing efforts of all 28 National Estuary Program estuaries
            to implement their Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans to protect and restore estuarine resources. To maximize
            the impact of each dollar, EPA will continue to strengthen its vital partnerships with States, Tribes, local governments,
            and other parties that are also working toward the common goal of improving the Nation's waters. EPA will implement the President's
            Executive Order on the Chesapeake Bay, EO 13508, the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and the 2014 Chesapeake
            Bay Watershed Agreement, implementing strategies to restore water quality and the Bay ecosystem. EPA will continue to lead
            the implementation of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The initiative provides $250 million for programs and projects
            strategically chosen to target the most significant environmental problems in the Great Lakes ecosystem. This investment will
            allow for implementation of important restoration activities emphasizing on-the-ground work to achieve the goals, objectives
            and targets of the Initiative. EPA expects to continue to progress in cleaning up and delisting Areas of Concern, reducing
            phosphorus contributions from agricultural and urban lands that contribute to harmful algal blooms and other water quality
            impairments and invasive species prevention EPA is working with States and tribes to implement nationally consistent water
            quality monitoring programs that allows EPA to make a credible national assessment of water quality. High quality, current
            monitoring data is critical for EPA, States, Tribes and others to make watershed-based decisions, develop necessary water
            quality standards and total maximum daily loads, and accurately and consistently portray conditions and trends. In addition,
            EPA will continue work with its Federal partners to support the safe deployment of carbon dioxide capture and storage technologies
            as a climate mitigation strategy.
         
         Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._EPA will work to preserve land by ensuring proper management of waste, reducing waste generation and increasing recycling.
            EPA will continue to assist States in putting in place and maintaining permits at facilities that treat, store or dispose
            of hazardous waste. Although States are the primary implementers of the Corrective Action program which requires facilities
            managing hazardous waste to clean up past releases, EPA directly implements the program in 13 States and provides technical
            support and oversight for State-led activities. To achieve EPA's waste management goals, EPA will: (1) maintain partnerships
            with businesses, industries, Tribes, States, communities, and consumers; (2) promote environmentally responsible behavior
            by product manufacturers, users and disposers; and (3) encourage businesses, government, institutions and consumers to reduce
            waste generation and increase recycling through education, outreach, training, and technical assistance. EPA will also continue
            to work with States in order to bring all underground storage tank systems into compliance and keep them in compliance with
            the release detection and release prevention requirements outlined in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. EPA works with State,
            local, and Tribal partners to help protect the public and the environment from releases of hazardous substances from chemical
            handling facilities by helping them develop area-wide emergency response and contingency plans. EPA conducts audits and inspections
            of those facilities handling more than a threshold quantity of certain extremely hazardous chemicals and that are required
            to implement a Risk Management Program to prevent releases. EPA will also support the operations and management of the Brownfields
            program, including training and technical support to assist communities to address general issues associated redevelopment
            or reuse of properties that may be complicated by the presence of contamination. EPA is committed to ensuring environmental
            justice regardless of race, color, national origin, or income. Recognizing that minority and/or low-income communities may
            be exposed disproportionately to environmental harm and risks, EPA works to protect these communities from adverse health
            and environmental effects and to ensure they are given the opportunity to participate meaningfully in environmental clean-up
            decisions. EPA's Environmental Justice program will continue to incorporate environmental justice considerations in the rulemaking
            process. EPA will apply effective methods suitable for determining whether disproportionate environmental health impacts on
            minority, low-income, and tribal populations exist. Funds will also provide resources and FTE support for developing the new
            Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest System.In collaboration with our tribal government partners, EPA works to strengthen human health and environmental protection in
               Indian country. EPA works to ensure that its environmental protection programs are implemented in Indian country either by
               EPA or by the Tribes. Also, EPA provides resources and technical assistance for federally-recognized Tribes to create and
               maintain effective environmental program capacity. In FY 2016, EPA will continue its collaboration with Tribes to develop
               long-term EPA-Tribal Environmental Plans (ETEP) for all federally-recognized Tribes, continue to implement the 2013 Tribal
               General Assistance Program (GAP) guidance to Tribes, and complete performance measures to better assess the Agency's outreach
               to Tribes.Ensuring the Safety of Chemicals and Preventing Pollution._To ensure that food will be free from unsafe levels of pesticide residues, EPA will apply strict health-based standards to
            the registration of pesticides for use on food or animal feed and ensure that older pesticides meet current health standards.
            EPA will also work to expedite and increase the registration of safer pesticides and to decrease the use of pesticides with
            the highest potential to cause adverse effects. EPA intends to reduce potential human and environmental risks from commercial
            and residential exposure to pesticides through programs that focus on farm worker protection, pollinator health and protection,
            endangered species protection, environmental stewardship, and integrated pest management. EPA's toxics program will continue
            to make substantial progress in protecting public health and the environment from potentially harmful industrial chemicals
            by assessing the safety of new and existing chemicals, reducing gaps in the availability of chemical data, strengthening management
            of chemical information, and providing easier and more complete public access to non-confidential chemical data. Following
            review of completed chemical assessments from the first set of 83 TSCA Work Plan Chemicals identified by the Agency in March
            of 2012, EPA will take action where appropriate to manage any unreasonable risk to human health or the environment posed by
            exposure to those chemicals. EPA will also continue its efforts to alleviate health risks from exposure to lead-based paint
            and other sources of lead in the environment, in part by implementing regulations requiring use of firms certified for applying
            lead-safe practices in renovation, remodeling, painting, and lead-abatement projects. EPA's Pollution Prevention (P2) program
            will continue to alleviate environmental problems by achieving significant reductions in the use of hazardous materials, energy
            and water; reductions in the generation of greenhouse gases; cost savings; and increases in the use of safer chemicals and
            products across the Federal government and through voluntary engagement with business. The P2 Program's efforts advance the
            agency's priorities to pursue sustainability, take action on climate change and reduce chemical risks. Additionally, the P2
            program will continue to promote increased use of those solutions, providing technical assistance and demonstrating their
            environmental and economic benefits.The United States will coordinate with other nations in multilateral efforts to protect the environment and human health.
               EPA will continue to support the U.S. role in chairing the Arctic Council from 2015â2017, promote formal bilateral and multilateral
               environmental agreements with key countries, execute environmental components of the Administration's key foreign policy initiatives,
               and engage in regional and global negotiations aimed at reducing potential environmental risks via formal and informal agreements.
               EPA will continue to cooperate with other countries to ensure that domestic and international environmental laws, policies,
               and priorities are recognized and implemented and, where appropriate, promoted within the multilateral development assistance
               and trading system.Combined with public demand for information, unprecedented changes in information technology are altering the way EPA, States,
               and Tribes collect, manage, analyze, use, secure, and provide access to quality environmental information. EPA is working
               with the States and Tribes to strengthen our information quality, leverage information maintained by other government organizations,
               and develop new tools that provide the public with simultaneous access to multiple data sets, allowing users to understand
               local, Tribal, State, regional, and national environmental conditions. Key to achieving information quality will be the further
               development of the National Environmental Information Exchange Network, which is primarily an affiliation between EPA and
               the States and Tribes. EPA will continue to reduce reporting burden, improve data quality, and accelerate data publications
               by accelerating the replacement of paper-based submissions with electronic reporting under the Toxic Release Inventory and
               other programs.
         Enforcing Environmental Laws._EPA will implement a strong enforcement and compliance program focused on identifying and reducing non-compliant actions and
            deterring future non-compliant actions that violate the law. To improve compliance with environmental laws, EPA works to provide
            easy access to tools that help regulated entities, Federal agencies, and the public understand these laws and find efficient,
            cost-effective means for putting them into practice. EPA's enforcement program targets inspections and other compliance monitoring
            activities according to the degree of health and environmental risk. The program collaborates with the Department of Justice,
            States, local government agencies, and Tribal governments to ensure consistent and fair enforcement of all environmental laws
            and regulations. The program seeks to aggressively pursue violations that threaten communities, ensure a level economic playing
            field by ensuring that violators do not realize an economic benefit from noncompliance, and deter future violations. The Civil
            Enforcement program develops, litigates, and settles administrative and civil judicial cases against serious violators of
            environmental laws. The Criminal Enforcement program punishes violators of environmental laws by holding them accountable
            through jail sentences and criminal fines. Bringing criminal cases sends a strong deterrence message to potential violators,
            enhances aggregate compliance with laws and regulations and protects our communities. In 2016, EPA will continue efforts to
            improve efficiencies by streamlining monitoring and reporting, improving transparency, more accurately gauging compliance,
            and better engaging the public.
         
         Enabling and Support Programs._EPA's Enabling and Support Programs (ESPs) provide centralized management services and support to environmental programs.
            The offices and the functions they perform within the Environmental Programs and Management appropriation are: the Offices
            of Administration and Resources Management (facilities, infrastructure and operations; acquisition management; human resources
            management services; grants and interagency agreements; suspension and debarment; administrative law); Environmental Information
            (exchange network, information security, information technology/data management); the Administrator (civil rights/Title VI
            compliance, congressional, intergovernmental and external relations, regional science and technology, Science Advisory Board);
            the Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning, annual planning and budgeting, financial services, financial management,
            analysis, and accountability); and General Counsel (alternative dispute resolution and legal advice). Since these centralized
            services provide support across EPA, resources for the ESPs are allocated across EPA's appropriations, goals, and objectives.

         This appropriation provides for the construction, repair, improvement, extension, alteration, and purchase of fixed equipment,
            land or facilities that are owned or used by EPA. This appropriation supports the EPA-wide goals through Enabling and Support
            Programs that provide centralized management services and support to the EPA's various environmental programs. EPA's management
            infrastructure will set and implement the highest quality standards for effective internal management and fiscal responsibility.
            The facilities funded by this account will provide quality work environments and state-of-the-art laboratories that address
            employee safety and security and pollution prevention. The appropriation includes costs associated with the consolidation
            and optimization of EPA's laboratory enterprise, reducing its overall footprint and facility costs.

         This appropriation supports core EPA programs and each of the EPA's five goals through grants to States, Tribes and other
            partners. In 2016, $1.162 billion is provided to assist State and Tribal partners implement their environmental programs to
            protect human health and the environment. EPA is using common elements for State and Tribal grant agreements, including Performance
            Partnerships. The elements clearly link to EPA's strategic plan to relate State workplan information into EPA's strategic
            and annual goals. The Budget also adopts a multifaceted approach to address water and wastewater infrastructure which includes
            State Revolving Fund activities funded in this appropriation.
         
         Taking Action on Climate Change and Improving Air Quality._To reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that cause climate change and protect and improve air quality
            for every American community, EPA will offer media-specific and multi-media Performance Partnership grants, and technical
            assistance to States and Tribes. This financial and technical aid will assist States and Tribes in the development of their
            Clean Air Plans, support solutions that address local air needs, and provide support for development of state programs and
            plans that address carbon dioxide and other GHG emissions. EPA will also provide funds to States and Tribes under section
            105 of the Clean Air Act to improve air monitoring networks to obtain better data on emissions of criteria pollutants and
            air toxics. EPA issued air quality standards for fine particulate matter, in the late 1990s and funded the then new monitoring
            network using section 103 of the Clean Air Act. Since that time, EPA has funded State and local fine particulate monitoring
            networks using the requirements of section 103 of the Clean Air Act, as authorized in annual appropriation bills. EPA is committed
            to transitioning funding for fine particulate monitoring into the funding authorized by section 105 of the Clean Air Act for
            continuing State and local clean air programs. Section 103 provides full funding for pilot programs, demonstrations, research,
            and other one-time activities; section 105 requires State and local agencies to provide matching funds of at least 40 percent
            of the amount required for the entire continuing State or local clean air program. Using funds provided by EPA under sections
            103 and 105, States and Tribes will prepare State Implementation Plans and Tribal Implementation Plans to achieve the revised,
            more protective National Ambient Air Quality Standards; implement new monitoring requirements, including technological upgrades
            and additional monitoring stations; and support the National Air Toxics Trends Stations monitoring network. Additionally,
            EPA will provide funds to support States' collection, review, and use of GHG emissions data and permitting of large sources
            of GHG's. EPA will also implement the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) Grant Program by providing funding through grants
            and rebates to continue to reduce diesel emissions in priority areas and areas of highly concentrated diesel pollution.
         
         Protecting America's Waters._This Agency goal is to reduce human exposure to contaminants in drinking water, fish and shellfish, and recreational waters
            and to protect and restore watersheds and aquatic ecosystems. Significant support is provided to help communities address
            their water and wastewater infrastructure needs. In 2016, EPA will invigorate its efforts to work with State and local partners
            to develop policies that promote the use of water resources in ways that are both ecologically and economically sustainable.
            In support of this goal, EPA will provide $1.186 billion for the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) which makes low
            interest loans to public water systems, and grants to Tribes and U.S. Territories to upgrade drinking water infrastructure
            to help them provide safe drinking water. EPA will also provide $1.116 billion for the Clean Water SRF. The Clean Water SRF
            makes low interest loans to communities and includes a set-aside for Tribes and U.S. Territories to construct wastewater treatment
            infrastructure, in addition to other projects that enhance water quality. In sum, the Federal Government has invested over
            $60 billion in grants to help capitalize the SRFs. With the required State match, additional State contributions, and funds
            from program leveraging, funds made available for loans totals over $130 billion since their inception. In 2016, EPA will
            work with communities to ensure the SRFs support cost-effective, sustainable green infrastructure, or other environmentally
            innovative activities that promote system and community resilience, as not less than 20 percent of the Clean Water SRF grants
            shall be used by the State for such activities. For 2016, funds provided to States under the Drinking Water State Revolving
            Funds may be used for projects to address green infrastructure, and other environmentally innovative activities. Funding provided
            through the SRFs will be enhanced by technical assistance, training, and planning efforts funded through EPA's operating programs
            as part of a multifaceted approach to address water and wastewater infrastructure. EPA will work with its partners to enhance
            the capacity of communities, states, and private investors to plan and finance drinking water and wastewater infrastructure
            improvements.Direct grants are also provided to help address the significant water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Alaska Native
               Villages. EPA has implemented a management plan that optimizes the pace of the program. EPA will strengthen State core water
               quality protection and water enforcement programs. EPA will provide direct grant assistance for water and wastewater infrastructure
               projects on the U.S.-Mexico border.EPA will support its partnerships with States, Tribes, and partners through media-specific and multi-media, and/or Performance
               Partnership grants to: (1) increase the number of community drinking water systems that meet all existing health-based standards,
               (2) protect watersheds by reducing point and nonpoint source pollution, (3) increase the acreage and improve the condition
               of wetlands, and (4) address agricultural and urban runoff and storm water. EPA will work with its State and Tribal partners
               to develop and implement broad-based and integrated monitoring and assessment programs that strengthen their water quality
               standards, improve decision-making, target restoration within the watershed, address significant stressors, and report on
               conditions.Furthermore, in 2016 EPA will enhance efforts to address nutrient pollution through working collaboratively with U.S. Department
               of Agriculture in high priority, focused watersheds and providing funding to States to undertake nutrient pollution reductions.
         Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._Land is one of America's most valuable resources and cleaning up our communities to create a safe environment for all Americans
            while encouraging more sustainable development is critical to the future of our country. EPA's Brownfields program supports
            land revitalization by providing grants to States, Tribes, and local communities to assess and clean-up real property which
            may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. In 2016, EPA
            will provide $110 million in Brownfields Project grants to local communities, including $5 million in area-wide planning grants
            to explore new land use and economic development opportunities in coal communities. Increases for grants to States and Tribes
            to establish their own Brownfields programs will continue to advance the sustainability of non-federal land revitalization
            programs. Hazardous and non-hazardous wastes on the land can migrate to the air, groundwater and surface water, contaminating
            drinking water supplies, causing acute illnesses or chronic diseases, and threatening healthy ecosystems in urban, rural,
            and suburban areas.Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, EPA provides grants to States to strengthen their ability
               to implement hazardous waste programs. EPA also provides financial and technical assistance to eligible Tribal governments
               and inter-tribal consortia. In 2016, EPA will provide grants or cooperative agreements to States for underground storage tank
               release prevention and detection programs. There will also be direct assistance through media-specific, and multimedia and/or
               Performance Partnership grants to enable Tribes to implement hazardous waste programs. EPA will also fund brownfields projects
               resulting in assessments and clean-up activities that assist communities in paving the way for the productive reuse of contaminated
               properties and abandoned sites.In addition, EPA provides grants to assist States, Tribes, and partners with worker safety activities, protection of endangered
               species and water sources, and promotion of environmental stewardship. To protect, sustain or restore the health of people,
               communities and ecosystems, EPA will focus on the geographic areas with human and ecological communities at most risk. EPA
               is working to protect, sustain, and restore the health of natural habitats and ecosystems by identifying and evaluating problem
               areas, developing tools, and improving community capacity to address problems.Under Federal environmental statutes, EPA is responsible for protecting human health and the environment in Indian country.
               EPA works with over 560 Federally recognized Tribes located across the United States to improve environmental and human health
               outcomes. Indian country totals more than 70 million acres with reservations ranging from less than 10 acres to more than
               14 million acres. EPA will provide $96 million to build and enhance the capacity of Tribes to address environmental and public
               health challenges in Indian Country, including lack of access to safe drinking water, sanitation, adequate waste facilities,
               and other environmental safeguards taken for granted elsewhere.EPA plans to provide $25.4 million to States, U.S. Territories, Tribes, and inter-tribal consortia to help them develop their
               information management and technology capabilities. The purpose of this support is two-fold: to assist the Agency in providing
               ready access to real-time environmental information and to allow States and Tribes to better integrate and share their environmental
               information.
          Ensuring the Safety of Chemicals and Preventing Pollution._In 2016, EPA will continue to provide grant assistance to States, U.S. Territories, District of Columbia, and Tribes in order
            to develop and implement authorized programs for the lead paint abatement program to operate in lieu of the Federal program.
            EPA will continue to provide support to develop and implement authorized Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) programs. EPA
            directly implements these programs in areas of the country that are not authorized to do so.In 2016, EPA will continue the Pesticide Program State and Tribal Assistance Grants including pesticide applicator training
               and certification, worker protection, training on endangered species, coordination with States, Tribes, and other Federal
               agencies to limit the exposure of pollinators during the application of pesticides, protection of water sources from pesticide
               exposure and promote the Integrated Pest Management (IPM). EPA will also continue the grant program for States and Tribes,
               to test innovative Pollution Prevention (P2) approaches and to provide P2 technical assistance to companies.
         Enforcing Environmental Laws._To promote compliance with laws intended to protect human health and the environment, EPA will continue to award State and
            Tribal grants to assist in the implementation of compliance and enforcement provisions of environmental laws. EPA will provide
            funding to States and Tribes for compliance assurance activities including inspections and enforcement case support activities.
            Through grants for pesticide enforcement, EPA will support State and Tribal compliance and enforcement activities designed
            to protect the environment from harmful chemicals and pesticides. These grants will also help States and Tribes protect underserved
            and vulnerable populations by conducting compliance (inspections) and enforcement activities, including those related to worker
            protection standards and those at pesticide producing establishments. Toxic Substance compliance grants help protect the public
            and the environment from polychlorinated biphenyls, asbestos, and lead-based paint. Funds are used to train inspectors, including
            the train-the-trainer program; provide inspection equipment including sampling and personal protective equipment; and fund
            travel and salary costs associated with conducting inspections.

         EPA received authority to establish a Working Capital Fund (WCF) and was designated a pilot franchise fund under Public Law
            103â356, the Government Management and Reform Act of 1994. EPA received permanent authority for the WCF in Public Law 105â65,
            as part of an effort to increase competition for governmental administrative services. EPA's WCF became operational in 1997
            and funds seven main activities: information technology and telecommunications operations, managed by the Office of Environmental
            Information; Agency postage costs, managed by the Office of Administration; and the core accounting system, employee relocations,
            travel and conference planning, managed by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer. The 2016 amount reflects only base resources
            and may change during the year in accordance with programmatic needs.

         Clean Power State Incentive Fund._The proposed Clean Power State Incentive Fund will provide up to $4 billion to states that commit to exceed minimum requirements
            established in the Clean Power Plan for state planning and the timing and extent of carbon pollution reductions from the power
            sector. The Fund will enable states that accelerate their reductions and go beyond the Clean Power Plan to receive funds for,
            but not limited to, efforts that advance carbon pollution reductions. Efforts might include mitigation or adaptation support
            to address environmental pollution in low income and underserved communities and providing assistance to businesses to expand
            energy efficiency, renewable energy, and combined heat and power through, for example, low-interest loans and infrastructure
            investments.

         This appropriation provides funds for the implementation of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
            Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities under the Working Capital Fund. This appropriation supports core EPA
            programs in four of EPA's five goals. Specifically in 2016, emphasis will be placed on the following:
         
         Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._To preserve and restore land and to protect human health and the environment, EPA will reduce the risks posed by releases
            of harmful substances and protect against exposure to those substances by cleaning up and restoring contaminated sites to
            beneficial use. EPA will apply the most effective and scientifically sound methods to control the risks associated with the
            presence of harmful substances, improve response capabilities, and maximize the effectiveness of response and clean-up actions.
            EPA's clean-up and response activity at contaminated sites will address environmental concerns, such as the removal of contaminated
            soil and treatment of contaminated groundwater, in order to reduce human exposures to hazardous pollutants and provide long-term
            human health protection. EPA will ensure that all releases of harmful substances to the environment are appropriately addressed
            by responding to incidents and providing technical support. To effectively prepare for and respond to incidents of national
            significance, EPA will improve decontamination readiness and continue to support a nationwide environmental laboratory network.
            EPA will conduct research to improve methods and models and provide technical support to accelerate scientifically defensible
            and cost-effective decisions for clean-up at complex contaminated sites in accordance with CERCLA. EPA will also work to maximize
            responsible parties' participation in site clean-ups and pursue greater recovery of EPA's clean-up costs.
         
         Enforcing Environmental Laws._EPA's Superfund Enforcement program protects communities by ensuring that responsible parties pay for and/or conduct clean-ups.
            The program uses an enforcement first approach that maximizes the participation of liable and viable parties in performing
            and paying for clean-ups in both the remedial and removal programs. To further carry out the responsibilities of CERCLA, EPA
            will allocate funds from its appropriation to Federal agency partners including to the Department of Justice (DOJ). DOJ supports
            EPA's Superfund Enforcement program through negotiations and judicial actions to compel Potentially Responsible Parties to
            clean up and through litigation to recover Trust Fund monies. EPA will investigate and refer for prosecution criminal and
            civil violations of CERCLA.
         
         Enabling and Support Programs._EPA's Enabling Support Programs (ESPs) provide centralized management services and support to the Agency's various environmental
            programs. The offices and the functions they perform within the Superfund appropriation are: the Offices of Administration
            and Resources Management (facilities infrastructure and operations, acquisition management, human resources management services,
            grant and interagency agreement management, and suspension and debarment); Environmental Information (exchange network, information
            security, and information technology/data management); the Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning, annual planning and
            budgeting, financial services, and financial management, analysis, and accountability); and General Counsel (alternative dispute
            resolution and legal advice). Because these centralized services provide support across EPA, resources for the ESPs are allocated
            across EPA's appropriations, goals, and objectives.

         The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund, authorized by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of
            1986, as amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, and the Energy Policy
            Act (EPAct) of 2005, and the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21, Public Law 112â141) provides funds
            for preventing and responding to releases from underground storage tanks, including activities under the Working Capital Fund.
            The Trust Fund is financed by a 0.1 cent per gallon tax on motor fuels through September 30, 2016.
         
         LUST funds are allocated to States through cooperative agreements to clean up sites posing the greatest threat to human health
            and the environment as authorized under Section 9003(h) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, as amended, and also to implement
            the activities authorized by Title XV, Subtitle B of EPAct. Funds are also used for grants to non-State entities under Section
            8001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended. Federally recognized Tribes receive grant funding
            under P.L. 105â276. EPA supports oversight, clean-up, and enforcement programs which are implemented by the States. LUST Trust
            Fund dollars can be used for State-led clean-ups and for State oversight of responsible party clean-ups. In addition, EPAct
            expanded the authorized activities for the underground storage tank program. This appropriation supports core Agency programs
            and two of EPA's five goals. Specifically in 2016, emphasis will be placed on the following:
         
         Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._The LUST program promotes rapid and effective responses to releases from Federally regulated underground storage tanks containing
            petroleum by enhancing State, local, and Tribal enforcement and response capability. EPA's LUST program priorities include:
            increasing the efficiency of LUST clean-ups; addressing contaminants of concern; and promoting the continued use, reuse, and
            long-term management of LUST sites. EPA will help States and Tribes improve LUST clean-up performance by performing analyses
            and developing strategies to reduce the backlog of open releases, continuing to develop and promote the use of innovative
            tools such as multi-site and geographical clean-up approaches, providing guidance and technical support regarding clean-up
            approaches and technologies, and streamlining clean-up decisions and processes. EPA will also continue efforts to monitor
            the soundness of State clean-up funds. EPA's release prevention program priorities will assist States and Tribes to ensure
            continued compliance with the three year inspection requirement, implement the various release prevention provisions of EPAct
            such as operator training and delivery prohibition, enforce violations discovered during the inspections, and continue building
            tribal implementation capacity.
         
         Enforcing Environmental Laws._To protect the Nation's groundwater and drinking water from petroleum releases from Underground Storage Tanks (UST), this
            program provides compliance assistance tools, technical assistance and training to promote and enforce UST systems compliance
            and clean-ups.
         
         Enabling and Support Programs._Enabling and Support Programs provide the infrastructure of people, facilities, and systems necessary to operate the programs
            funded by the LUST appropriation. The offices and the functions they perform are: Administration and Resources Management
            (facilities infrastructure and operations, and acquisition management); and the Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning,
            annual planning and budgeting, financial services, financial management, analysis, and accountability).

         This appropriation provides for EPA's responsibilities for prevention, preparedness, response, and enforcement activities
            authorized under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), including activities
            under the Working Capital Fund. This appropriation supports core Agency programs and two of the Agency's five goals. Specifically
            in 2016, emphasis will be placed on the following:
         
         Cleaning Up Communities and Advancing Sustainable Development._The Oil Spill program protects U.S. waters by preventing, preparing for, responding to, and monitoring oil spills. Under the
            regulatory framework established by the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) and Federal Response Plan (FRP)
            regulations, EPA conducts oil spill prevention, preparedness, inspection, and enforcement activities associated with more
            than 600,000 non-transportation-related oil storage facilities. The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency
            Plan (NCP) then establishes EPA's jurisdiction over inland oil spills and sets forth the framework for response. EPA accesses
            the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard, to obtain reimbursement for site-specific spill
            response activities. More than 30,000 oil and hazardous substance releases occur in the United States every year, with a significant
            portion of these spills occurring in the inland zone over which EPA has jurisdiction.EPA develops and manages the regulations and protocols under Subpart J of the NCP which require manufacturers of various oil
               spill response products to test their products prior to listing on a Product Schedule. The Product Schedule identifies those
               oil spill remediation agents, such as dispersants and surface washing agents, which could be authorized for use by an On-Scene
               Coordinator (OSC) on an oil spill. Product testing ensures their effectiveness and provides toxicity information used by OSCs
               and Regional Response Teams in making informed decisions regarding the use of certain products in response to specific spills.
               EPA will be focusing its oil spill research efforts on ecological effects and assessment of shoreline and coastal impacts
               from oil spills and use of dispersants and other chemical agents, human health impacts, and spill remediation alternatives
               and innovative technology development and evaluation, including green technologies. Spill response is a priority for the Agency,
               and EPA has been instrumental in providing guidance for various response technologies. A key factor in providing guidance
               on spill response technologies is developing a firm understanding of the science behind spill behavior in the environment.
         Enforcing Environmental Laws._The Inland Oil Spill Programs appropriation portion of the Civil Enforcement program is designed to prevent oil spills using
            civil enforcement and compliance assistance approaches, as well as to prepare for and respond to any oil spills affecting
            the inland waters of the United States. Pursuant to Clean Water Act Section 311 (Oil Spill and Hazardous Substances Liability)
            requirements, EPA's Civil Enforcement program develops policies; issues administrative clean-up and removal orders and orders
            protecting public health; pursues administrative remedies and/or refers civil judicial actions to the Department of Justice;
            assesses civil penalties for spills into the environment or violations of administrative orders or oil pollution prevention
            regulations; assists regulated entities in understanding their legal requirements under the Clean Water Act; and assists in
            the recovery of clean-up costs expended by the government.
         
         Enabling and Support Programs._Enabling and Support Programs provide the infrastructure of people, facilities and systems necessary to operate the programs
            funded by the Inland Oil Spill Programs appropriation. The office and function performed is Administration and Resources Management
            (facilities infrastructure and operations).
