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, Strategic Materials are also included in
Directed Stockpile Work 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.
Infrastructure and Operations.—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, Nuclear Safety Research & Development, Nuclear Criticality Safety, and the Packaging
program. Modernizes NNSA infrastructure through recapitalization, capability investments, strategic development, and line-item
construction projects for the enhancement of capabilities.
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 information technology and cybersecurity solutions such as identity, credential, and access management to help
meet energy security, and proliferation resistance.

NNSA helps keep America safe by preventing adversaries from acquiring nuclear weapons or weapons-usable materials, technology,
and expertise; countering efforts to acquire such weapons or materials; and responding to nuclear or radiological accidents
and incidents domestically and abroad. NNSA's nonproliferation and counterterrorism activities extend the nation's defenses
far beyond America's borders. NNSA leverages the knowledge that underpins the stockpile stewardship program for a range of
nonproliferation missions, from assessing foreign weapons programs and potential terrorist devices to managing the proliferation
risks posed by civil nuclear applications. By limiting the number of nuclear-capable states and preventing terrorist access
to materials and technology that can threaten the United States and its allies, NNSA broadly enhances global stability and
constrains the range of potential threats facing the Nation.
The Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (DNN) and the Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response (NCTIR) programs have a
primary role in the U.S. approach to reducing nuclear security risks. These two programs provide policy and technical leadership
to prevent or limit the spread of materials, technology, and expertise related to weapons of mass destruction (WMD); develop
technologies that detect the proliferation of WMD worldwide; secure or eliminate inventories of nuclear weapons-related materials
and infrastructure; and ensure a technically trained response both domestically and worldwide to nuclear and radiological
incidents. DNN's efforts reduce the danger that hostile nations or terrorist groups may acquire nuclear devices, radiological
dispersal devices, weapons-usable material, nuclear and dual-use commodities and technology, or nuclear-related expertise.
The National Security Strategy and the Nuclear Posture Review reinforce the important work of NNSA's nonproliferation, counterterrorism,
and counterproliferation programs, including measures to secure, eliminate, and prevent the spread of WMD and related materials
and maintain technical forensics and attribution capabilities to identify the source of nuclear materials used in a nuclear
device.
These activities are carried out within the context of a dynamic global security environment characterized by the persistent
threat of state or non-state actors seeking to obtain nuclear and radiological materials, state actors potentially undermining
arms control agreements and nonproliferation regimes, an increase in risk in the availability of nuclear and radiological
materials as a result of the global expansion of nuclear power and fuel cycle technology; increased opportunities for illicit
nuclear material trafficking and sophisticated procurement networks; and technology advancements (including cyber-related
tools) that may shorten nuclear weapon development timelines and complicate nuclear safeguards and security missions.
The major elements of the appropriation account include the following:
Material Management and Minimization (M3).—M3 programs minimize and, when possible, eliminate weapons-usable nuclear material around the world to achieve permanent threat
reduction.
Global Material Security (GMS).—GMS programs prevent terrorists and other actors from obtaining nuclear and radiological material to use in an improvised
nuclear device or a radiological dispersal device by working with partner countries to improve the security of vulnerable
materials and facilities and to improve partners' capacities to deter, detect, and investigate illicit trafficking of these
materials. GMS works extensively with and through multilateral partners such as the International Atomic Energy Agency and
Interpol.
Nonproliferation and Arms Control (NPAC).—NPAC supports activities to prevent the proliferation of WMD by state and non-state actors. NPAC develops and implements
programs and strategies to strengthen international nuclear safeguards; control the spread of nuclear and dual-use material,
equipment, technology, and expertise; verify nuclear reductions and compliance with nonproliferation and arms control treaties
and agreements; and address enduring and emerging nonproliferation and arms control challenges and opportunities.
Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D).—DNN R&D drives the innovation of unilateral and multi-lateral technical capabilities to detect nuclear detonations; foreign
nuclear weapons programs' activities; and the presence, movement, or diversion of special nuclear materials. 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 to perform research, conduct technology demonstrations, develop prototypes, and produce
and deliver sensors for integration into operational systems.
Nonproliferation Construction.—The budget proposes to terminate the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication project and transition to the dilute and dispose strategy
to fulfill the United States' commitment to dispose of 34 metric tons of surplus U.S. weapon-grade plutonium.
Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response (NCTIR).—The NCTIR Program executes the DOE/NNSA's Comprehensive Emergency Management System program that administers implementation
and support of emergency management for all DOE/NNSA offices and sites, and manages the DOE/NNSA Consolidated Emergency Operations
Center, Emergency Communications Network, Emergency Management Policy, Training, National Exercises Program, and Continuity
Program activities. NCTIR also applies the unique technical expertise from NNSA's nuclear security enterprise to prepare for,
prevent, mitigate, and respond to a nuclear or radiological incident domestically or abroad, providing technical advice to
interagency and international partners and state and local organizations in support of nuclear counterproliferation, nuclear
counterterrorism, nuclear incident response, and nuclear forensics.

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 and activity.
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 and spent nuclear fuel, and legacy site cleanup
activities.
NNSA Sites.—Funds the safe and efficient cleanup of the environmental legacy of past operations at National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) sites including Nevada National Security Site, Sandia National Laboratories, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory,
Los Alamos 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.
Los Alamos legacy cleanup is managed by the EM Los Alamos field office.
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 testing and cold commissioning 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 disposal of transuranic waste from waste generator and storage sites across
the DOE complex. 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.
Innovation and Technology Development (formerly 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.
Excess Facilities.—Funds the deactivation and decommissioning (D&D) of excess facilities to be transferred to the Environmental Management program.
This targeted effort supports accelerated D&D activities focused on specific high-risk facilities at the Y-12 National Security
Complex and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to achieve substantial risk reduction within four years as proposed
in the 2018 Budget.

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 assessments of security, cybersecurity, emergency management, and environment,
safety and health performance; enforcement of worker safety and health, nuclear safety; and classified information security
regulations; and implementation of security and safety professional development and training programs.
Specialized Security Activities.—The program supports national security related analyses requiring highly specialized skills and capabilities.
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.
Hearings and Appeals.—The Office of Hearings and Appeals adjudicates personnel security cases, as well as whistleblower reprisal complaints filed
by DOE contractor employees. The office is the appeal authority in various other areas, including Freedom of Information Act
and Privacy Act appeals. In addition, the office decides requests for exception from DOE orders, rules, regulations, and is
responsible for the DOE's alternative dispute resolution function.
Defense-Related Administrative Support.—Obligations are included for defense-related administrative support that serves to offset costs that are attributable to
the defense-related programs within the Department of Energy that utilize the department-wide services funded by the Departmental
Administration account. These include accounting and information technology department-wide services.

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 U.S. 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.
Maximizing the benefits of U.S. leadership in computing in the coming decades will require an effective national response
to increasing demands for computing capabilities and performance, emerging technological challenges and opportunities, and
competition with other nations. The DOE will sustain and enhance its support for high-performance computing (HPC) research,
development, and deployment as part of the Federal strategy in partnership with the Department of Defense (DOD) and the National
Science Foundation (NSF).
Within the context of this coordinated Federal strategy, the DOE Office of Science (SC) and the DOE National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) are overseeing the Department's Exascale Computing Initiative (ECI), which began in 2016. The ECI focuses
on delivering advanced simulation through an exascale-capable computing program, with an emphasis on sustained performance
on science, national security mission applications, and increased convergence between exascale and large-data analytic computing.
To meet ECI goals, research and development (R&D) will be accelerated to overcome key exascale challenges in parallelism,
energy efficiency, and reliability, leading to deployment of exascale systems in the 2021 timeframe. Acceleration or advancement
is defined as a fifty-fold increase in sustained performance over today's computing capabilities, enabling applications to
address next-generation science, engineering, and data problems.
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 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
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 for
achieving a secure and sustainable energy future. 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, earth, and environmental systems for energy and infrastructure
resilience and sustainability.
The program seeks to understand the biological, biogeochemical, and physical principles needed to predict a continuum of processes
from the molecular and genomics-controlled smallest scales to environmental and ecological processes. Starting with the genetic
potential encoded by organisms' genomes, BER Biological System Science research approaches include genome sequencing, proteomics,
metabolomics, structural biology, high-resolution imaging and characterization, and integration of information into computational
models that can be iteratively tested and validated. This can enable more confident redesign of microbes and plants for sustainable
biofuels production, improved carbon storage, and controlled biological transformation of materials such as nutrients and
metals in the environment. BER Earth and Environmental Systems Sciences research advances the fundamental scientific analysis
and modeling of the sensitivity and uncertainty of earth system predictions to atmospheric, cryospheric, oceanic, and biogeochemical
processes.
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. Plasma science is wide-ranging,
since 99 percent of the visible universe is composed of plasmas of various types. High temperature fusion plasmas at hundreds
of millions of degrees occur in national security applications albeit for very short times. The same fusion plasmas could
be exploited in the laboratory in controlled fashion to become the basis for a future clean nuclear power source, which will
provide domestic energy independence and security.
The FES program has four elements: (1) Burning Plasma Science: Foundations—The behavior of magnetically confined fusion plasmas
is experimentally explored on DIII-D National Fusion Facility and the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade, which are
national Office of Science (SC) user facilities. Fusion theory and simulation activities predict and interpret the complex
behavior of plasmas as self-organized systems. Several FES Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing centers are supported
in partnership with ASCR. (2) Burning Plasma Science: Long Pulse—U.S. scientists take advantage of international partnerships
to conduct research on superconducting tokamaks and stellarators with long-duration capabilities. Research is performed to
develop novel materials that can withstand the extreme fusion environment. (3) Burning Plasma Science: High Power—The creation
of strongly self-heated fusion burning plasmas will allow the discovery and study of new scientific phenomena relevant to
fusion as a future energy source. (4) Discovery Plasma Science—Research areas include plasma astrophysics, high-energy density
laboratory plasmas, low-temperature plasmas, and innovative measurement techniques.
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 among them, and exploring the basic nature of space
and time. The HEP Program offers research opportunities for individual investigators and small-scale collaborations, as well
as very large international collaborations. A world-wide program of particle physics research is underway to discover what
lies beyond the Standard Model. Five intertwined science drivers of particle physics provide compelling lines of inquiry that
show great promise for discovery: use the Higgs boson as a new tool for discovery; pursue the physics associated with neutrino
mass; identify the new physics of dark matter; understand cosmic acceleration, dark energy, and inflation; and explore new
particles, interactions and physical principles. 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; and 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 applicable to other sciences, as well as industry, medicine, and national
security.
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 microseconds after the birth of the cosmos and that exist today inside neutron
stars. The NP program addresses three tightly interrelated scientific thrusts: 1) how the strong nuclear force assembles quarks
and gluons into protons and neutrons; how novel forms of bulk, strongly interacting matter behave, such as the quark-gluon
plasma that formed in the early universe; and 2) the structure of nuclei; how protons and neutrons combine to form atomic
nuclei and how these nuclei have arisen during the 13.8 billion years since the birth of the cosmos. NP provides ~95 percent
of all nuclear science federal research funding. NP also maintains and operates three national scientific user facilities
that accelerate particles to nearly the speed of light, producing short-lived forms of matter for investigation. A fourth,
the next generation Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, is being constructed at Michigan State University (MSU) to provide advanced
world-leading capabilities for science, national security applications, and isotopes. Low energy, precision nuclear experiments,
many enabled by new quantum sensors, are used to search for a deeper understanding of nuclear interactions. Also within NP,
the DOE Isotope Program supports high-priority research on the development of cutting-edge approaches for producing isotopes
critical to the nation in basic research and applications, including ground breaking research on the production of alpha emitting
isotopes in sufficient quantity to enable clinical trials for cancer therapy. Mission readiness is provided for the production
of radioactive and stable isotopes that are in short supply for research and a wide array of applications.
Science Laboratories Infrastructure (SLI).—The Science Laboratories Infrastructure (SLI) program supports scientific and technological innovation at the SC laboratories
by funding and sustaining mission-ready infrastructure and fostering safe and environmentally responsible operations. The
program provides 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, and graduate thesis research at the DOE laboratories; and annual, nationwide, middle- and high-school science
competitions culminating in the National Science Bowl in Washington, D.C. These investments help develop the next generation
of scientists and engineers to support the DOE mission, administer programs, and conduct research.
Program Direction.—Science Program Direction supports a highly skilled Federal workforce to develop and oversee SC investments in 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 extramural grants and contracts supporting about 17,000 researchers located at over 300
institutions and the 17 DOE national laboratories, spanning all fifty states and the District of Columbia and 24 scientific
user facilities serving nearly 23,000 users per year, as well as supervision of major construction projects, is a Federal
responsibility.

The mission of the Office of Electricity Delivery (OE) is to drive electric grid modernization and resiliency in energy infrastructure.
OE leads the Department of Energy's efforts to strengthen, transform, and improve energy infrastructure so that consumers
have access to reliable, secure, and clean sources of energy. OE programs include:
Transmission Reliability.—The Transmission Reliability program helps improve the reliability and resilience of the U.S. electric grid through early
stage and foundational research and development (R&D) focused on measurement and control of the electricity system, as well
as model development and validation for assessing risks across integrated energy systems.
Resilient Distribution Systems (RDS).—The RDS program focuses on addressing the challenges facing the electric power grid by developing the innovative technologies,
tools, and techniques to modernize the distribution portion of the electric delivery system. RDS pursues strategic investments
to improve reliability, resilience, outage recovery, and operational efficiency, building upon previous and ongoing grid modernization
efforts.
Cybersecurity for Energy Delivery System (CEDS).—The CEDS program seeks to enhance the reliability and resilience of the Nation's energy infrastructure through near- and
long-term activities to strengthen energy sector cybersecurity across the Nation, including enhancing the speed and effectiveness
of threat and vulnerability sharing, developing an energy delivery system testing and analysis laboratory to better understand
energy sector supply chain system and component vulnerabilities, and accelerating game-changing R&D to mitigate cyber incidents
in today's systems and to develop next-generation resilient energy delivery systems. In FY 2019, this activity is requested
within the new Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response.
Energy Storage.—The Energy Storage program helps ensure the stability, reliability, and resilience of electricity infrastructure by accelerating
the development of new materials and device technologies that can lead to significant improvements in the cost and performance
of energy storage systems and accelerated adoption of the energy storage solutions into the grid infrastructure.
Transformer Resilience and Advanced Components (TRAC).—The TRAC program supports modernization, hardening, and resilience of the grid by addressing challenges facing transformers
and other critical grid hardware components that carry and control electricity from where it is generated to where it is used.
Research in advanced materials, components, and devices will provide the fundamental physical capabilities and enhancements
required to accommodate a rapidly changing power system, ensure all-hazards resilience to a more complex threat environment,
and encourage the adoption of new technologies and approaches.
Transmission Permitting & Technical Assistance.—The Transmission Permitting & Technical Assistance program provides electricity policy technical assistance at the request
of states, territories, regional entities, and tribes to help them develop and improve programs, policies, and laws that facilitate
the development of reliable and affordable electricity infrastructure. The program also implements a number of legal authorities,
such as coordination of transmission permitting by Federal agencies, periodic transmission congestion studies, permitting
of cross-border transmission lines, authorization of electricity exports, and supporting actions by the Secretary of Energy
during electricity emergencies.
Infrastructure Security and Energy Restoration (ISER).—The ISER program coordinates a national effort in collaboration with industry and State and local governments to secure
the U.S. energy infrastructure against all hazards, reduce impacts from disruptive events, and recover from energy disruptions.
In FY 2019, this activity is requested within the new Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response.
Program Direction.—Program Direction provides for the costs associated with the Federal workforce and contractor services that support OE's
mission. These costs include salaries, benefits, travel, training, building occupancy, IT systems, and other related expenses.

The Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is one of the U.S. Government's research
and development (R&D) organizations. EERE works closely with the National Laboratories, and with many of America's best innovators
and businesses to support high-impact, early-stage applied R&D activities, relying upon the private sector to fund later-stage
research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies in sustainable transportation, renewable power, and energy
efficiency. EERE's investment portfolio is strongly positioned to enable American energy independence and domestic job-growth
in the near to mid-term, while maintaining proper stewardship of taxpayer dollars.
Sustainable Transportation.—Conducts early-stage R&D through programs focused on vehicle technologies, bioenergy, and hydrogen and fuel cell technologies
to enable industry to develop and deploy clean, domestic fuels and efficient, convenient, and affordable transportation choices
that improve U.S. energy security, economic productivity, and environmental quality.
Renewable Power.—Conducts early-stage R&D through program offices focused on solar, wind, water, and geothermal energy technologies to enable
industry to develop and deploy affordable, reliable, and renewable electricity options that allow regional optimization, indigenous
resources utilization, and improves the resilience, reliability, and security of the electricity grid.
Energy Efficiency.—Conducts early-stage R&D through program offices focused on advanced manufacturing and building technologies to strengthen
the body of knowledge that enables industry to improve the energy productivity, affordability, and energy security of our
buildings and manufacturing sectors. Also funds the development of statutorily mandated efficiency standards and provides
Federal energy management technical assistance.
Corporate Programs.—Supports EERE operations and management through program direction (e.g., salaries and benefits, support services, working
capital, etc.) and facilities and infrastructure at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (e.g., general plant projects,
general purpose equipment, safeguards and security, etc.).

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
and activity.
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 (FER&D) program conducts research that supports the Nation's ability to increase
the use of domestic fossil energy resources affordably, efficiently, and cleanly. The program funds early-stage R&D with academia,
national laboratories, and the private sector to generate knowledge that industry can use to develop new products and processes.
Program activities, including National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) R&D, focus on: 1) early-stage, high-risk fossil-fueled
power systems and components that address challenges of reliability and improve the efficiency of existing units; 2) cross-cutting
research to bridge fundamental science and early-stage applied engineering development for advanced materials and computational
systems and the utilization of coal and CO2 for the production of critical materials and products; 3) early-stage R&D on transformational
CO2 capture technologies applicable to both new and existing fossil-fueled facilities; and 4) CO2 storage, with emphasis on
early-stage research focused on associated storage in depleted fields; offshore storage; and addressing the R&D challenges
of injection. The program will also conduct early-stage research to generate new, novel understanding of shale geology and
fracture dynamics for unconventional oil and natural gas resources. In addition, FER&D will conduct work focused on characterizing
gas hydrates and will explore new concepts for novel technologies that could improve the reliability and operational efficiency
of natural gas transmission, distribution, and storage facilities. NETL R&D includes funding for scientists, engineers, and
project managers conducting both in-house and collaborative research. The NETL Infrastructure and Operations program supports
the upkeep of NETL's lab footprint in three geographic locations: Morgantown, WV; Pittsburgh, PA; and Albany, OR. This budget
request initiates an effort to consolidate NETL's multi-site footprint to the extent beneficial to a single operational complex.
Program Direction provides for the Headquarters and NETL workforce responsible for the oversight and administration of FER&D.
Also included is the Import/Export Authorization program, which will continue regulatory reviews and oversight of natural
gas imports and exports.

This account funds environmental activities at Naval Petroleum Reserve 1 (NPR-1) in California (Elk Hills) and Naval Petroleum
Reserve 3 (NPR-3) in Wyoming (Teapot Dome). 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 2019, 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.
On January 30, 2015, the Department finalized the sale of the Teapot Dome Oilfield. The Department will oversee post-sale
remediation activities and ground water sampling for the closure of the landfill in compliance with National Environmental
Policy Act and Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality requirements.

The SPR Petroleum Account funds SPR petroleum acquisition, transportation, and drawdown activities as well as the Northeast
Gasoline Supply Reserve (NGSR). The FY 2019 budget supports the sale of one million barrels of SPR crude oil to fund costs
of drawdown operations.
Consistent with the FY 2018 budget request, the Administration is proposing to disestablish the NGSR in this FY 2019 budget
request. The NGSR has not been utilized and has issues surrounding cost efficiency and operational functionality.

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 entry of new resources, spurs innovation and deployment of new technologies, improves
operating performance, and exerts downward pressure on costs. 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. 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 sale of electric energy. The Commission also reviews proposed mergers and other
transactions in the electric industry to ensure that these proposals will not harm the public interest.
Oversight, surveillance 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 conducts compliance
audits, issues publicly available audit reports, and engages 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. These investigations often rely upon oversight and
surveillance that employ sophisticated technology to monitor market behavior. When violations of sufficient seriousness are
discovered, the Commission attempts to resolve the resulting 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,
the Commission primarily relies on physical inspections of the facilities. The Commission continues to incorporate 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 to public safety.
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 address the planning and operation, as well as the cybersecurity and physical
protection of the Nation's electric transmission grid. 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. To that end, the Commission incorporates performance data-driven, risk-informed decision making into its
reliability oversight. In addition, the Commission works collaboratively with the governmental and private sectors to utilize
state-of the-art practices as necessary to address advanced cyber and physical security threats to jurisdictional energy infrastructure.
The Commission works with the owners and operators of key critical infrastructure facilities to identify and share threat
information, analyze system vulnerabilities, and assist with effective mitigation.
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 Commission decisions. 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 to meet specific program activities and challenges.
The Commission thus makes continued investments in its human capital, information technology (IT) resources, and physical
infrastructure. The Commission allocates over two-thirds of its budget to directly cover the compensation costs of its employees
on an annual basis. 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 in the next five years. The Commission also will
pursue a number of new projects that will advance priority IT initiatives. These projects will modernize core mission and
support systems, expand existing data analytics and visualization capabilities, and improve the agency's cyber security posture.
Through the successful execution of these projects, the Commission expects to maintain a cost-effective suite of IT products
and services that will meet its near-term mission needs and provide a scalable platform to support future needs beyond 2020,
while meeting applicable security mandates. The Commission is also undergoing a multi-year renovation effort within its headquarters
building which commenced in FY 2018 and will conclude in FY 2021. The renovation project will enable the agency to realize
significant space savings. The FY 2019 request includes increases of approximately $16.7 million to continue the modernization
effort.

The Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve (NEHHOR) provides an emergency supply of home heating oil for the Northeast States
during times of inventory shortages and significant threats to immediate supply. The FY 2019 budget continues to maintain
a one million barrel inventory of ultra-low sulfur distillate, stored in Northeast commercial storage terminals (Groton, CT;
Revere, MA; and Port Reading, NJ), to provide a short-term emergency supplement to the Northeast systems' commercial supply
of heating oil. In FY 2019, the Department plans to reexamine the utility of continuing the reserve beyond the expiration
of current storage contracts in early 2020.

The mission of the Yucca Mountain and Interim Storage programs is to fulfill the Federal Government's obligations to address
nuclear waste in a safe and fiscally responsible way. With the resumption of the Yucca Mountain licensing process, the FY
2019 Budget proposes funding through two separate appropriation accounts, the Nuclear Waste Disposal and Defense Nuclear Waste
Disposal appropriations. The overview narrative and detailed justification for the entire program, as supported by both accounts,
is presented in the Nuclear Waste Disposal section of the FY 2019 Budget. The programs implement the Administration's decision
to resume the Yucca Mountain license application process for disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high level waste (HLW)
while establishing a robust interim storage capability.
The Yucca Mountain and Interim Storage programs are critical to enhancing the national and economic security goals of the
Nation. The management of SNF and HLW must protect the health, safety of citizens and the environment in the United States.
The Nation's commercial and defense SNF and HLW must be safely and permanently isolated to minimize the risk to human health
and the environment. Effective management of these materials will ensure that our country remains competitive in the global
economy, maintains national security, supports cleanup of weapons sites, continues operation of the U.S. Navy's nuclear-powered
vessels, and advances our international non-proliferation goals.

This account funded operations of the Department's uranium enrichment facilities for commercial sales prior to 1992. These
facilities are now shut down and are significantly contaminated by decades of operations for defense and non-defense activities.
Under the Energy Policy Act of 1992, the Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning (UED&D) Fund pays, subject
to appropriation, the decontamination and decommissioning costs of the Department's gaseous diffusion plants in Tennessee,
Ohio, and Kentucky. The Administration proposes to transfer the amount remaining in this account to the UED&D Fund due to
higher-than-expected cleanup costs. Funding so transferred will be precluded from obligation until appropriated for the authorized
purpose of the UED&D Fund.
Uranium enrichment decontamination and decommissioning fund
For Department of Energy expenses necessary in carrying out uranium enrichment facility decontamination and decommissioning,
remedial actions, and other activities of title II of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, and title X, subtitle A, of the Energy
Policy Act of 1992, $752,749,000, to be derived from the Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund, to remain
available until expended, of which $30,000,000 shall be available in accordance with title X, subtitle A, of the Energy Policy
Act of 1992.
Note.—A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division D of P.L. 115–56, as amended).
The amounts included for 2018 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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. 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. This program is being eliminated in the
FY 2019 Budget in accordance with Administration priorities, including the focusing of resources toward early-stage research
and development. The Loan Programs Office will wind down operations in FY 2019 with the expectation that it will shut down
in FY 2020 with remaining loan monitoring and closeout activities transferred to another office.
The Budget eliminates the ATVM Loan Program and proposes to cancel all remaining loan volume authority and appropriated credit
subsidy. The Budget provides $1,000,000 to cover loan portfolio monitoring and administrative expenses: including salaries
for its full time employees as well as the cost of outside advisors for financial, legal, engineering, credit, and market
analysis. All activities not essential for the continued monitoring of the portfolio will be terminated.

Title 17 innovative technology loan guarantee program
(including cancellation of funds)
Such sums as are derived from amounts received from borrowers pursuant to section 1702(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005
under this heading in prior Acts, shall be collected in accordance with section 502(7) of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974: Provided, That for necessary administrative expenses to carry out this Loan Guarantee program, $10,000,000 is appropriated from fees collected in prior years pursuant to section 1702(h) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 which are not otherwise appropriated, to remain available until September 30, 2020: Provided further, That if the amount in the previous proviso is not available from such fees, an amount for such purposes is also appropriated from
the general fund so as to result in a total amount appropriated for such purpose of no more than $10,000,000: Provided further, That fees collected pursuant to such section 1702(h) for fiscal year 2018 shall be credited as offsetting collections under this heading and shall not be available until appropriated: Provided further, That the Department of Energy shall not subordinate any loan obligation to other financing in violation of section 1702
of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 or subordinate any Guaranteed Obligation to any loan or other debt obligations in violation
of section 609.10 of title 10, Code of Federal Regulations: Provided further, That the authority provided in prior year appropriations Acts for commitments to guarantee loans under title XVII of the
Energy Policy Act of 2005, excluding amounts for loan guarantee commitments, as defined in the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 661a), made by October 1, 2018, is hereby permanently cancelled: Provided further, That of the unobligated balances from prior year appropriations available under this heading in the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5) for the cost to guarantee loans, $383,433,000 is hereby permanently cancelled.
Note.—A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division D of P.L. 115–56, as amended).
The amounts included for 2018 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

The Title XVII Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program (Title XVII), as authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and
executed by the Department of Energy's (DOE) Loan Programs Office (LPO), encourages early commercial use of new or significantly
improved technologies in energy projects. Projects supported by DOE loan guarantees 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. Section 1703 of the Act authorizes DOE to provide loan guarantees for innovative
energy projects in categories including renewable energy systems, advanced nuclear facilities, coal gasification, carbon sequestration,
energy efficiency, and various other types of projects. This program is being eliminated in the FY 2019 Budget in accordance
with Administration priorities, including the focusing of resources toward early-stage research and development. The Loan
Programs Office will wind down operations in FY 2019 with the expectation that it will shut down in FY 2020 with remaining
loan monitoring and closeout activities transferred to another office.
The Budget eliminates the Title XVII program and proposes to cancel all remaining loan volume authority. In addition to $10,000,000
in appropriation offset by $3,000,000 in collections, the Loan Programs Office will utilize unobligated balances carried forward
from prior year appropriations to cover loan portfolio monitoring and administrative expenses; including salaries for its
full time employees as well as the cost of outside advisors for financial, legal, engineering, credit, and market analysis.
All activities not essential for the continued monitoring of the portfolio will be terminated.
The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5) amended the program's authorizing statute and provided
$2.5 billion in credit subsidy for a temporary program to support loan guarantees for commercial or advanced renewable energy
systems, electric power transmission systems, and leading edge biofuel projects. Authority for the temporary program to extend
new loans expired September 30, 2011. Prior to expiration, DOE provided loan guarantees to 28 projects totaling over $16 billion
in loan volume. Four projects withdrew prior to any disbursement of funds. The Budget proposes to cancel $383 million in unobligated
credit subsidy while retaining $96 million to cover the cost of potential modifications as determined in the national interest
by Presidential waiver from rescission under Sec 1306 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of
2010 (Pub. L 111–203).

Section 2602 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, authorized a loan guarantee program
at the Department of Energy to support energy development by Indian tribes. The program was first appropriated funding by
the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2017 which provided $8,500,000 for the cost of loan guarantees and $500,000 for the
administrative expenses. Rules detailing how the program would be implemented have not been promulgated. The Budget eliminates
the Tribal Indian Energy Loan Guarantee program and proposes to cancel the $8,500,000 appropriated for the cost of loan guarantees.

Power Marketing Administration
Federal Funds
Operation and Maintenance, Alaska Power Administration
The Alaska Power Administration (APA) was created in 1967 by the Secretary of the Interior to assume the functions of the
Bureau of Reclamation in Alaska. These functions include operations, maintenance, transmission, and power marketing of the
two Federal hydroelectric projects (Eklutna and Snettisham), and the investigation of future water and power development programs.
All Alaska activities of APA, including the Juneau headquarters office, were terminated on September 30, 1998. A fund maintained
to liquidate the remaining obligations of the APA will expire in FY 2018.
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 Administration (Southeastern or SEPA) marketing area, $6,500,000, 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 $6,500,000 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 2019 appropriation estimated at not more than $0: Provided further, That notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302, up to $59,360,000 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).
Note.—A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division D of P.L. 115–56, as amended).
The amounts included for 2018 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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, accounting
and budget activities, 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 $59 million in 2019.
Reimbursable Program.—The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008 (P.L. 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 FY 2018 to finance power purchases associated with heightened demand and cost spikes due to severe cold weather.
Consistent with sound business practices, the Southeastern Power Administration has implemented a policy to recover all emergency
costs associated with purchased power and wheeling within one year from the time funds are expended.
Operation and maintenance, southwestern power administration
For necessary expenses of operation and maintenance of power transmission facilities and of marketing electric power and energy,
for construction and acquisition of transmission lines, substations and appurtenant facilities, and for administrative expenses,
including official reception and representation expenses in an amount not to exceed $1,500 in carrying out section 5 of the
Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s), as applied to the Southwestern Power Administration, $45,802,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302 and section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s), up to $35,402,000 collected by the Southwestern Power Administration from the sale of power and related services shall be credited to this account
as discretionary offsetting collections, to remain available until expended, for the sole purpose of funding the annual expenses
of the Southwestern Power Administration: Provided further, That the sum herein appropriated for annual expenses shall be reduced as collections are received during the fiscal year
so as to result in a final fiscal year 2019 appropriation estimated at not more than $10,400,000: Provided further, That notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302, up to $83,000,000 collected by the Southwestern Power Administration pursuant to the
Flood Control Act of 1944 to recover purchase power and wheeling expenses shall be credited to this account as offsetting
collections, to remain available until expended for the sole purpose of making purchase power and wheeling expenditures: Provided further, That for purposes of this appropriation, annual expenses means expenditures that are generally recovered in the same year
that they are incurred (excluding purchase power and wheeling expenses).
Note.—A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the

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

The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) 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. WAPA 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. WAPA also constructs additions and modifications to existing facilities.
In keeping with statutory requirements, WAPA'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. 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.—WAPA'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.
WAPA 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 WAPA'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.
Reimbursable Program.—This program involves services provided by WAPA to others under various types of reimbursable arrangements. WAPA 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 WAPA to obligate directly from the Colorado River Dam Fund comes
from section 104(a) of the Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the Act) provided Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) borrowing authority
for the purpose of constructing, financing, facilitating, planning, operating, maintaining, or studying construction of new
or upgraded electric power transmission lines and related facilities with at least one terminus within the area served by
WAPA, and for delivering or facilitating the delivery of power generated by renewable energy resources. This authority to
borrow from the United States Treasury is available to WAPA on a permanent, indefinite basis, with the amount of borrowing
outstanding not to exceed $3.25 billion at any one time. WAPA established the Transmission Infrastructure Program (TIP) to
manage and administer this borrowing authority and its related program requirements.

An emergency fund maintained from receipts from the sale and transmission of electric power is available to defray expenses
necessary to ensure continuity of service. The fund was last activated in fiscal year 2010 to repair and replace damaged transmission
lines due to severe winter storm conditions. This work has since been completed.
Falcon and amistad operating and maintenance fund
For operation, maintenance, and emergency costs for the hydroelectric facilities at the Falcon and Amistad Dams, $5,207,000, to remain available until expended, and to be derived from the Falcon and Amistad Operating and Maintenance Fund of the Western
Area Power Administration, as provided in section 2 of the Act of June 18, 1954 (68 Stat. 255): Provided, That notwithstanding the provisions of that Act and of 31 U.S.C. 3302, up to $4,979,000 collected by the Western Area Power Administration from the sale of power and related services from the Falcon and Amistad
Dams 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 hydroelectric facilities of these Dams and associated Western Area Power
Administration activities: 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 2019 appropriation estimated at not more than $228,000: Provided further, That for purposes of this appropriation, annual expenses means expenditures that are generally recovered in the same year
that they are incurred: Provided further, That for fiscal year 2019, the Administrator of the Western Area Power Administration may accept up to $122,000 in funds contributed by United States power customers of the Falcon and Amistad Dams for deposit into the Falcon and Amistad
Operating and Maintenance Fund, and such funds shall be available for the purpose for which contributed in like manner as
if said sums had been specifically appropriated for such purpose: Provided further, That any such funds shall be available without further appropriation and without fiscal year limitation for use by the Commissioner
of the United States Section of the International Boundary and Water Commission for the sole purpose of operating, maintaining,
repairing, rehabilitating, replacing, or upgrading the hydroelectric facilities at these Dams in accordance with agreements
reached between the Administrator, Commissioner, and the power customers.
Note.—A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division D of P.L. 115–56, as amended).
The amounts included for 2018 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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. The budget provides
funding for annual expenses through discretionary offsetting collections derived from power receipts collected to recover
those expenses.

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

Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is a Federal electric power marketing agency in the Pacific Northwest. BPA markets hydroelectric
power from 21 multipurpose water resource projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and 10 projects of the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation, plus some energy from non-Federal generating projects in the region. These generating resources and BPA's
transmission system are operated as an integrated power system with operating and financial results combined and reported
as the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). BPA provides about 50 percent of the region's electric energy supply and
about three-fourths of the region's high-voltage electric power transmission capacity.
BPA is responsible for meeting the net firm power requirements of its requesting customers through a variety of means, including
energy conservation programs, acquisition of renewable and other resources, and power exchanges with utilities both in and
outside the region.
BPA 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
$4.4 billion annual cost of operations and investments primarily using power and transmission revenues and loans from the
U.S. Treasury.
Operating Expenses-Transmission Services.—Provides for operating over 15,000 circuit miles of high-voltage transmissions lines and 261 substations, and for maintaining
the facilities and equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 2019.
Power Services.—Provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective resources. These resources
are needed to serve BPA's portion of the region's forecasted net electric load requirements. This activity also includes protection,
mitigation and enhancement of fish and wildlife affected by hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River and its tributaries
in accordance with the Pacific Northwest Power Act. This activity provides for payment of the operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs allocated to power the 31 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation hydro projects, amortization on
the capital investment in power generating facilities, and irrigation assistance at U.S. Bureau of Reclamation facilities.
This activity also provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective conservation.
It also provides for extending the benefits of low-cost Federal power to the residential and small farm customers of investor-owned
and publicly owned utilities, in accordance with the Pacific Northwest Power Act and for activities of the Pacific Northwest
Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council required by the Pacific Northwest Power Act.
Interest.—Provides for payments to the U.S. Treasury for interest on U.S. Treasury borrowings to finance BPA's capital investments
under $7.70 billion of U.S. Treasury borrowing authority provided by the Transmission Act; the Pacific Northwest Power Act
for energy conservation, renewable energy resources, capital fish facilities, and other purposes; the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009; and other legislation. This interest category also includes interest on U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
BPA and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation appropriated debt.
Capital Investments—Transmission Services.—Provides for the planning, design and construction of transmission lines, substation and control system additions, replacements,
and enhancements to the FCRPS transmission system for a reliable, efficient and cost-effective regional transmission system.
Provides for planning, design, and construction work to repair or replace existing transmission lines, substations, control
systems, and general facilities of the FCRPS transmission system.
Power Services.—Provides for direct funding of additions, improvements, and replacements at existing Federal hydroelectric projects in the
Northwest. It also provides for capital investments to implement environmental activities, and protect, mitigate, and enhance
fish and wildlife affected by hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River and its tributaries, in accordance with the Pacific
Northwest Power Act. This activity provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective
conservation.
Capital Equipment/Capitalized Bond Premium.—Provides for capital information technologies, 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 2019 capital obligations are estimated to be $826.7 million.
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 2017, BPA had outstanding bonds with the U.S. Treasury of $5,008.7 million. At the end of 2017, BPA also had $8,263.1 million
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 2017, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $1,258 million and also expects to make payments of $514 million in 2018 and
$781 million in 2019. The 2019 payment is expected to be distributed as follows: interest on bonds and appropriations ( $284
million), amortization ( $409 million), and other ( $88 million). BPA also received credits totaling approximately $79 million
applied against its Treasury payments in 2017 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 2019, no new direct loan obligations may be made.
Operating Results.—Total revenues are forecast at approximately $4.4 billion in 2019.
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.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) 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 or 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.
