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 about 45 percent of the Navy's
major 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.

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 ensures sustainment
of nuclear material processing capabilities and funds the stabilization, consolidation, disposition, tracking, and accounting
of nuclear materials.
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation.—Focuses on scientific, technical, and engineering efforts to develop, strengthen, and maintain critical capabilities, tools,
and processes needed to support science-based stockpile stewardship, weapons refurbishments, and continued assessment and
certification of the stockpile over the long term in the absence of underground nuclear testing.
Infrastructure and Operations.—Provides the 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, nuclear weapons, and materials from a full spectrum of threats, ranging
from minor security incidents to acts of terrorism. Provides funding for key security program areas at all NNSA facilities.
Secure Transportation Asset.—Provides for the safe, secure transport of nuclear weapons, weapon components, and special nuclear materials to meet mission
requirements. The Program Direction subprogram provides for the secure transportation workforce, including the Federal agents.

Programs funded within the Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (DNN) appropriation help 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.
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.
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.—Nonproliferation Construction consolidates construction costs for DNN projects. The budget supports the continuation of termination
activities for 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. The request supports the continuation
of preliminary design for the Surplus Plutonium Disposition (SPD) project, as well as long-lead procurements.
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
approximately 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. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory includes funds
to support the deactivation and decommissioning (D&D) of specific high-risk excess facilities to be transferred to the Environmental
Management program.
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.
Technology Development and Deployment.—Funds projects managed through Headquarters to address the immediate, near- and long-term technology needs identified by
the EM sites, enabling them to accelerate their cleanup schedules, treat orphaned wastes, improve worker safety, and provide
technical foundations for the sites' cleanup decisions. These projects focus on maturing and deploying the technologies necessary
to accelerate tank waste processing, treatment, and waste loading.

Environment, Health, Safety and Security Mission Support.—The program supports the Department's health, safety, environment, and security programs to enhance productivity while maintaining
the highest standards of safe operation, protection of national assets, and environmental sustainability. As the Department's
"environment, health, safety and security advocate," the program works closely with DOE line managers who are ultimately responsible
for ensuring that the Department's work is managed and performed in a manner that protects workers and the public as well
as the Department's material and information assets. The program functions include: policy and guidance development and technical
assistance; analysis of health, safety, environment, and security performance; nuclear safety; domestic and international
health studies; medical screening programs for former workers; Energy Employee Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act
support; quality assurance programs; interface with the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board; national security information
programs; and security for the Department's facilities and personnel in the National Capital Area.
Enterprise Assessments.—The program supports the Department's independent 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. In 2020, the reqeusted
funding supports implementation of Program Management Improvement Accountability Act requirements within the Department.
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. In 2020, the requested funding
supports the inclusion of the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program, that had been funded by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers in prior years.
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 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 has a long history of making fundamental contributions to applied mathematics and computer science
associated with strategic computing and a similar set of contributions is foreseen for machine learning (ML) and artificial
intelligence (AI) in the science domain and related investments in advanced architectures and hardware. ASCR's proposed activities
are in line with the Nation's Research and Development (R&D) priority for American Leadership in AI, Quantum Information Sciences
(QIS), and Strategic Computing. Within the context of this coordinated federal strategy, the DOE Office of Science (SC) and
the DOE National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) continue to partner on the Department's Exascale Computing Initiative
(ECI) to overcome key exascale challenges in parallelism, energy efficiency, and reliability, leading to deployment of a diverse
set of exascale systems in the calendar year 2021–2022 timeframe. The ECI's goal for an exascale-capable system is a five-fold
increase in sustained performance over the Summit HPC system at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, with applications that address
next-generation science, engineering, and data problems. The ECI focuses on delivering advanced simulation through an exascale-capable
computing program, emphasizing sustained performance in science and national security mission applications and increased convergence
between exascale and large-data analytic computing.
Basic Energy Sciences.—The Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program supports fundamental research to understand, predict, and ultimately control matter
and energy at the electronic, atomic, and molecular levels in order to provide the foundations for new energy technologies
and to support DOE missions in energy, environment, and national security. Key to exploiting such discoveries is the ability
to create new materials using sophisticated synthesis and processing techniques, precisely define the atomic arrangements
in matter, and control physical and chemical transformations. The energy systems of the future 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. DOE envisions
a future in which the cross-cutting field of QIS increasingly drives these scientific frontiers and innovations toward realizing
the full potential of quantum-based applications, from computing, to communication, to sensing. This will require precise
control at the atomic and molecular levels for the understanding, design, prediction, synthesis, fabrication, and integration
of quantum systems. In support of the National Quantum Initiative, SC QIS Centers, coupled with a robust core research portfolio
stewarded by the individual SC programs including BES, will create the ecosystem across universities, national labs, and industry
that is needed to foster these developments.
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. The Subsurface Biogeochemistry Research activity will focus on watershed
scale hydro-biogeochemical modeling. Investments will continue to support the E3SM (Energy Exascale Earth System Model) capability,
tailored to DOE requirements for a variety of scenarios applied to spatial scales as small as 10 kilometers. The DOE Joint
Genome Institute (JGI) will continue to be an essential component for DOE systems biology efforts, providing high quality
genome sequence data and analysis techniques for a wide variety of plants and microbial communities. The JGI will continue
to implement its strategic plan to incorporate new capabilities to sequence DNA and also to interpret, manipulate, and synthesize
DNA in support of sustainable, renewable bioenergy and bioproducts research, and environmental research.
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% 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 may be exploited
in the laboratory in controlled fashion to become the basis for a future clean nuclear power source, which could provide domestic
energy independence and security.
The FES program has three 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 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) Discovery Plasma Science: Research areas include
plasma astrophysics, high-energy-density laboratory plasmas, low-temperature plasmas, and innovative measurement techniques.
Investments in transformational technologies such as machine learning, QIS, microelectronics, and high-performance strategic
computing will accelerate progress in several mission areas. Finally, the unique scientific challenges and rigor of fusion
and plasma physics research lead to the development of a well-trained Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics-focused
workforce, which will contribute to maintaining and advancing U.S. competitiveness and world-leadership in key areas of future
technological and economic importance, as well as national security.
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; 2) how novel forms of bulk, strongly interacting matter behave, such as the quark-gluon
plasma that formed in the early universe; and 3) 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. Highly trained university and national laboratory scientists are supported
to conceive, plan, execute, and interpret transformative experiments in the U.S. and in international collaborations. 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. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams is being constructed at Michigan State
University 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. Stable and radioactive isotopes are vital to the missions of many Federal agencies including the National Institutes
of Health, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Department of Agriculture, Department of Homeland Security,
NNSA, and DOE SC programs. NP continues to work in close collaboration with all federal organizations to develop strategic
plans for isotope production and to establish effective communication to better forecast isotope needs and leverage resources.
Science Laboratories Infrastructure .—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. The SLI program continues to focus on improving infrastructure across the SC national
laboratory complex. The FY 2020 Budget includes funding for five new construction starts and six on-going construction projects.
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 22,000 researchers located at over 300
institutions and the 17 DOE national laboratories, spanning all fifty states and the District of Columbia and 27 scientific
user facilities serving nearly 33,000 users per year, as well as supervision of major construction projects, is a Federal
responsibility.

The mission of the Office of Electricity (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 and Resilience (TRR).—The TRR 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.
Energy Storage.—The Energy Storage program, including the Department-wide Advanced Energy Storage Initiative, 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 (TPTA).—The TPTA program provides electricity policy technical assistance to Federal, State, territorial, regional and tribal entitiesto
help them develop and improve programs, policies, and laws that facilitate the development of reliable, resilient and affordable
electricity infrastructure. The program also implements a number of legal authorities, such as coordination of transmission

R&D to mitigate cyber incidents in today's systems and to develop next-generation resilient energy delivery systems while
developing analyses to quantify the resulting relative risk reduction.
Infrastructure Security and Energy Restoration (ISER).—The ISER program coordinates a national effort to secure the U.S. energy infrastructure against all hazards, reduce impacts
from disruptive events, and assist industry with restoration activities. ISER delivers a range of capabilities including energy
sector emergency response and recovery (including emergency response of a cyber nature); near-real-time situational awareness
and information sharing about the status of the energy systems to improve risk management; analysis of evolving threats and
hazards to energy infrastructure; and technical assistance that incorporates exercises in order to strengthen Federal, regional,
State, tribal, and territorial abilities to work together to prepare for and mitigate the effects of an energy sector emergency..
Program Direction.—Program Direction provides for the costs associated with the Federal workforce and contractor services that support CESER's

The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) invests in research and development (R&D) as part of the Department
of Energy's (DOE) broad portfolio approach to address our Nation's energy and environmental challenges. 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 in sustainable transportation, renewable power, and energy efficiency, relying upon the private sector to fund
later-stage research, development, and commercialization of energy technologies. EERE's investment portfolio is strongly positioned
to support 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 program offices focused on vehicle technologies, bioenergy, and hydrogen and fuel cell technologies
to support industry development of 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 support
industry development of affordable and reliable, renewable electricity options that improve the resilience 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 supports industry improvement to 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.

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. Program
Direction provides for the Headquarters and NETL workforce responsible for the oversight and administration of FER&D.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) provides strategic and economic security against foreign and domestic disruptions in
oil supplies via an emergency stockpile of crude oil. The program fulfills United States' obligations under the International
Energy Program, which commits the United States to support the International Energy Agency through its coordinated energy
emergency response plans, and provides a deterrent against energy supply disruptions. The FY 2020 Budget will support the
SPR's operational readiness and drawdown capabilities of 4.21 MB/d. The program will perform cavern wellbore testing and remediation
activities to ensure the availability of the SPR's crude oil inventory. Consistent with past budget requests, the Budget proposes
to disestablish the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve (NGSR) by allowing current commercial storage contracts to expire and
selling the refined product currently held in the reserve. The NGSR is very costly to maintain, has not been used for its
intended purpose, and is not a practical solution for a severe supply interruption, as, for example, the reserve would only
be able to meet one day's worth of gasoline demand in the Northeast States.

The SPR Petroleum Account funds activities related to the acquisition, transportation, and injection of petroleum products
into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), as well as costs related to the drawdown, sale, and delivery of petroleum products
from the Reserve. The FY 2020 Budget proposes to deposit into the SPR Petroleum Account up to $27 million in proceeds from
the sale of the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve's one-million barrels of gasoline blendstock. Subsequently, the Budget requests
no operational funding for the NGSR in the SPR account, as it allows existing commercial storage contracts to expire. The
retained proceeds from the sale will be used to fund logistical costs associated with the drawdown, sale, and delivery of
SPR crude oil, to include operations related to legislatively-mandated, multi-year sales of SPR crude oil. Proceeds in excess
of the $27 million will contribute to deficit reduction.

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 economically
efficient, safe, reliable, and secure energy services at a reasonable cost through appropriate regulatory and market means,
and collaborative efforts. 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 natural gas in interstate commerce, as well as for transportation of oil by
pipeline in interstate commerce, 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. The
Commission carries out this responsibility by issuing orders and establishing rules and policies that continually balance
two important interests: protecting energy consumers against excessive rates, and providing an opportunity for regulated entities
to recover their costs and earn a reasonable return on their investments. 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 sales 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, and Secure Infrastructure.—The Commission plays an important role in the development of energy infrastructure that operates 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. With the rising demand for natural
gas and hydropower comes increased infrastructure construction, making it all the more important that FERC oversee the private
sector development of safe, reliable, and secure infrastructure in a way that fosters economic and environmental benefits
for the nation. The Commission reviews applications to construct, operate, or modify natural gas and hydropower infrastructure
by ensuring that facilities are constructed and operated in compliance with the conditions of FERC orders. The Commission
must respond to energy infrastructure applications with timely and well-reasoned decisions that balance a range of factors
such as competing interests, legal requirements, and environmental impacts. 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.
The Commission also has an important role in ensuring that energy infrastructure, once authorized, continues to operate safely
and reliably. FERC conducts timely safety reviews and inspections with rigorous requirements, thereby advancing the safety
of non-federal hydropower projects and LNG facilities throughout their entire life cycle. The Commission relies on physical
inspections for detecting and preventing potential catastrophic structural failures. In regards to jurisdictional LNG facilities,
the Commission conducts construction and operational inspections to ensure that the facilities are constructed and operated
in accordance with the conditions of Commission Orders, including safety measures and plans. Inspections at both types of
facilities protect the public against the risks associated with incidents at the facilities.
The Commission also oversees the development and review of mandatory reliability and security standards for the bulk-power
system, as well as compliance with these standards. 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 cyber security 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, FERC provides
leadership, expertise, and assistance in identifying, communicating and developing comprehensive solutions to cyber and physical
security risks to energy infrastructure. This is achieved through collaboration with private sector energy industry entities
and in coordination with government agencies to research, identify, and share information on threats and vulnerabilities,
and to promote voluntary best practices that exceed but are complementary to mandatory regulations thereby improving resilience.
The Commission engages 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 pursues this goal by maintaining processes and providing services in accordance with governing statutes, authoritative
guidance, and prevailing best practices. These processes and services help prioritize resource allocations, make prudent investments
that yield returns that directly benefit the agency's mission and use Commission resources in an efficient manner. The Commission
also provides services, tools, and resources to equip employees to drive success and accomplish the agency's mission. 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 its staff to retirement. The Commission also will maintain disciplined information technology planning and
governance and pursue a number of 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 2020 request includes approximately $22.9 million to continue the
modernization effort.
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.

The Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve (NEHHOR) was established to provide an emergency supply of home heating oil for the
Northeast States during times of inventory shortages and significant threats to immediate supply. However, the NEHHOR has
not been used for its intended purpose since it was established and the Administration does not believe the reserve is a prudent
ongoing use of taxpayer resources. For this reason, the Budget proposes to disestablish the NEHHOR by allowing the current
commercial storage contracts to expire in March 2020 and, relatedly, no FY 2020 appropriation is requested. Prior to the contractual
expiration, the Budget proposes to sell the one million barrels of ultra-low sulfur distillate currently held in the reserve,
with proceeds from the sale intended for deficit reduction.

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
2020 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 2020 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 and 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.

5099
Balance, end of year
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. In the 2019 Budget, the Administration proposed and Congress enacted the transfer of amounts remaining
in this account to the UED&D Fund due to higher-than-expected cleanup costs. Funding transferred is 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, $715,112,000, to be derived from the Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund, to remain available until expended,
of which $21,035,000 shall be available in accordance with title X, subtitle A, of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 .

Section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 established a direct loan program with a loan authority up
to $25 billion to support the development of advanced technology vehicles and associated components in the United States,
known as the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program. The Consolidated Security, Disaster, Assistance,
and Continuing Appropriation Act of 2009, enacted on September 30, 2008, appropriated $7.5 billion in emergency designated
budget authority for credit subsidy. The ATVM Loan Program provides loans to automobile and automobile part manufacturers
for the cost of re-equipping, expanding, or establishing manufacturing facilities in the United States to produce advanced
technology vehicles or qualified components and for associated engineering integration costs.
The 2020 Budget eliminates the ATVM Loan Program and proposes to cancel $4.3 billion in remaining emergency designated, appropriated,
credit subsidy. LPO will utilize unobligated non-emergency designated balances carried forward to cover loan-portfolio monitoring
and administrative expenses. In FY 2020, LPO will stop originating loans for the ATVM Loan Program but will continue to monitor
the existing portfolio.

The Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program (Title 17), as authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the
Act) 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 Title 17 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. The FY 2020 Budget
maintains current Administration policy to eliminate this program, while maintaining portfolio monitoring capabilities.
The FY 2020 Budget proposes to permanently cancel the approximate $161 million in remaining credit subsidy and all authority
to guarantee loans appropriated in prior appropriations acts. In addition to $3,000,000 in appropriation offset by an estimated
$3,000,000 in fee collections, LPO will utilize unobligated balances carried forward to cover loan portfolio monitoring and
administrative expenses. In FY 2020, LPO will stop originating loans for the Title 17 Loan Guarantee Program but will continue
to monitor the existing portfolio.
The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5) amended the program's authorizing statute and provided
$2.5 billion in emergency designated 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 the expiration of the authority, DOE provided loan guarantees
to 28 projects totaling over $16 billion in loan volume. Four projects withdrew prior to disbursement of any funds. The FY
2020 Budget proposes to cancel all remaining unobligated, emergency designated, credit subsidy appropriated by the American
Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5).

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 FY 2020 Budget eliminates the Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee Program (TELGP) and proposes to cancel the $8,500,000 appropriated
for credit subsidy. The Loan Program Office will utilize unobligated balances carried forward from prior-year appropriations
to cover administrative expenses. In FY 2020, LPO will stop originating loans for TELGP but will continue to monitor any loans
that may close by October 1, 2019.

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 $66 million in 2020.

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 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.

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, those that perform cyber and physical security roles, and those that
administratively support these functions.
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. Southwestern has implemented a Purchase Power and Wheeling (PPW) risk mitigation
strategy to ensure continuous operations during periods of significant drought. The strategy was developed consistent with
existing authorities, and with the participation and support of Southwestern's power customers. Under this approach, Southwestern
retains receipts from the recovery of purchase power and wheeling expenses within the 'up to' amount specified by Congress.
The receipts retained are available until expended and are available only for PPW expenses. As of the end of FY 2018, Southwestern's
PPW reserve balance was $69 million. Customers will provide other power resources and/or purchases for the remainder of their
firm loads.

1 The FY 2019 and FY 2020 Estimates assume spending authority from offsetting collections equals the 'up to' ceiling and that
obligations incurred are the same amount as the spending authority. Actual spending authority from offsetting collections
and actual obligations will be dependent upon variability in market prices for PPW and hydrological conditions in Southwestern's
region, which vary significantly, are largely unpredictable, and can change quickly.
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.

A continuing fund, maintained from receipts from the sale and transmission of electric power in the Southwestern service area,
is available permanently for emergency expenses necessary to ensure continuity of electric service and continuous operation
of the facilities. The fund is also available on an ongoing basis to pay for purchase power and wheeling expenses when the
Administrator determines that such expenses are necessary to meet contractual obligations for the sale and delivery of power
during periods of below-average generation (16 U.S.C. 825s-1 as amended further by Public Law 101–101). The fund was last
activated in FY 2009 to repair and replace damaged transmission lines due to an ice storm.

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 nearly 700 wholesale customers, including DOE's National Labs, more than two dozen U.S. Department of Defense
installations, municipalities, cooperatives, irrigation districts, public utility districts, other 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.
WAPA has implemented a Purchase Power and Wheeling (PPW) risk mitigation strategy to ensure continuous operations during periods
of significant drought. The strategy was developed consistent with existing authorities, and with the participation and support
of WAPA power customers. Under this approach, WAPA retains receipts from the recovery of purchase power and wheeling expenses
within the 'up to' amount specified by Congress. The receipts retained are available until expended, and are available only
for purchase power and wheeling expenses. As of the end of FY 2018, WAPA's PPW reserve balance was $282 million.

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's reimbursable
authority and partnerships were demonstrated following the severe hurricane damage in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
WAPA responded to the urgent need to restore the energy infrastructure and access to power in the U.S. Virgin Islands and
supported the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' emergency power restoration efforts in Puerto Rico. WAPA also supported responses
to natural disasters in Hawaii (volcanic eruption), Guam (typhoon) and California (wild fires).
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.

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. The budget also provides authority to use customer advances. The contributed customer funds will finance the
capital replacement requirements of the projects.

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 2020.
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 2020 capital obligations are estimated to be $786.5 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 2018, BPA had outstanding bonds with the U.S. Treasury of $5,531 million. At the end of 2018, BPA also had $7,709.7 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 2018, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $862 million and also expects to make payments of $776 million in 2019 and $702
million in 2020. The 2020 payment is expected to be distributed as follows: interest on bonds and appropriations ($232 million),
amortization ($408 million), and other ($62 million). BPA also received credits totaling approximately $93 million applied
against its Treasury payments in 2018 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 2020, no new direct loan obligations may be made.
Operating Results.—Total revenues are forecast at approximately $3.9 billion in 2020.
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.
