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

This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology, environmental monitoring, research, and development activities
including laboratory and center supplies, certain operating expenses (including activities under the Working Capital Fund),
contracts, grants, intergovernmental agreements, and purchases of scientific equipment. In addition, the Administrator will
employ persons in the Office of Research and Development under the authority provided in 42 U.S.C. 209. These activities prioritize
robust science, refocusing the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) research and scientific analysis to inform EPA policy
and regulatory development actions, and creating consistency and certainty that outlines exactly what is expected of the regulated
community to ensure good stewardship and positive environmental outcomes. This appropriation supports core Agency programs
and each of the Agency's three goals. Specifically in 2020, EPA will place emphasis on the following:
The Air and Energy program (A-E) will conduct a range of science and technology activities to develop and implement strategies
to improve air quality. These include: research to inform the review of the national ambient air quality standards to improve
understanding of ozone, particulate matter, lead, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide; system research and
life cycle analysis to understand the production, operation, and impacts of energy systems on health and the environment;
research on the generation, fate, transport, and chemical transformation of air emissions to identify individual and population
health risks to inform clean air management decisions; and development and evaluation of new approaches for monitoring levels
of air pollutants (including air toxics). EPA further develops tools to provide technical assistance to State and local governments
and Tribes to use in developing clean air plans to achieve air quality standards. EPA will continue to implement the renewable
fuels provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–58) and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (P.L.
110–140), and will develop, implement, and ensure compliance with regulatory programs that will significantly reduce emissions
from highway and non-road sources.
The Safe and Sustainable Water Resources research program (SSWR) conducts research to meet the science needs in EPA's water
program, including: evaluating groups of contaminants for the protection of human health and the environment; developing innovative
tools, technologies, and strategies for managing water resources (including stormwater); and supporting a systems approach
for protecting and restoring aquatic systems. The systems approach includes: research to inform setting water quality criteria;
establishing measures to assess and manage watersheds; and developing effective source control and management methods, especially
for urban uses. A major component of the research program is working to support EPA's Drinking Water Strategy.
Within the SSWR program, research will assess, develop, and compile scientifically rigorous tools and models that will be
used by the Agency, States, Tribes, and municipalities.
The Sustainable and Healthy Communities (SHC) research program, including Superfund research, implements system-based research
to develop a new generation of smart technologies to address environmental conditions in a community. Superfund research costs
are appropriated to the Hazardous Substance Superfund Trust Fund appropriation and transferred to this account to allow for
proper accounting. The SHC research program develops decision support tools to enable communities' decision makers to solve
complex human health and environmental problems. The program will identify health risks and stressors, especially those that
disproportionately impact vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly.
The decision support tools support critical policy, regulatory, and non-regulatory needs related to contaminated site remediation,
children's health protection, waste management, and our economy's reliance on quality ecosystem goods and services. These
tools account for the interrelationships between social, economic, health, ecological, and environmental factors with the
aim to minimize unintended consequences that can result from decisions about land use, transportation, and solid waste management,
as well as promote more robust and efficient infrastructure.
The Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) program develops assessments and scientific products that are used extensively by
EPA's Program and Regional offices, and other parties, to estimate the potential risk to public health from exposure to environmental
contaminants, to develop regulatory standards, and to manage environmental clean-ups. The HHRA research program provides the
scientific foundation for Agency actions to protect public health and the environment.
The Homeland Security Research Program (HSRP) will continue to support research efforts on evaluating chemical, biological,
and radiological (CBR) analytical methods. The HSRP will conduct research on decontamination and methods to manage potential
public health consequences and develop methods to protect water infrastructures and assess threats and consequences. In 2020,
decontamination research will continue to address existing scientific knowledge gaps in responding to and recovering from
wide-area CBR attacks on urban centers and public areas. Water Infrastructure Protection Research will focus on developing
and testing decontamination approaches for water infrastructure and on treating CBR contaminated water caused by terrorist
attacks, natural disasters, and/or accidents. Research on real-time distribution system models and methods to isolate and
treat contaminated water, clean distribution systems, redirect water, and return water systems to service quickly and affordably
is in progress. EPA also will continue to support water sector-specific agency responsibilities to protect the Nation's critical
water infrastructure.
EPA's Chemical Safety for Sustainability research program (CSS) is designed to strengthen the Agency's ability to evaluate
and predict the potential environmental and human health impacts from use of manufactured chemicals throughout their lifecycle.
The CSS program supports the development and application of improved and new computational systems, models of pathways and
tissues; rapid cost-efficient exposure models; and user-friendly web based tools for analysis and decision support. The CSS
program will continue to develop approaches for using toxicity and exposure data to inform screening and prioritization of
the over 40,000 chemicals currently on the TSCA Active List, and will continue to inform the Agency's implementation of key
environmental regulations and to address contaminants of emerging concern, such as Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS).
As it relates to the Science and Technology account and the overall mission of EPA, the protection of human health includes:
ensuring the availability of appropriate analytical methods for detecting pesticide residues in food and feed; ensuring suitability
for monitoring pesticide residues; and enforcing tolerances. The program accomplishes this by developing and validating multi-residue
pesticide analytical methods for food, feed, and water for use by other Federal and State laboratories and EPA's programs
and regions. Laboratories further support the estimation of human health risks from pesticide use by operating the National
Pesticide Standard Repository (NPSR).
EPA's Forensics Support program provides expert scientific and technical support for criminal and civil environmental enforcement
cases, as well as technical support for the Agency's compliance efforts. EPA's National Enforcement Investigations Center
(NEIC) is an environmental forensic center accredited for both laboratory and field sampling operations that generate environmental
data for law enforcement purposes. It is fully accredited under International Standards Organization 17025, the main standard
used by testing and calibration laboratories, as recommended by the National Academy of Sciences (see Strengthening Forensic
Science in the United States: A Path Forward, National Academy of Sciences, 2009). The NEIC maintains a sophisticated chemistry
laboratory and a corps of highly trained inspectors and scientists with expertise across media. The NEIC works closely with
EPA's Criminal Investigation Division to provide technical support (e.g., sampling, analysis, consultation, and testimony)
to criminal investigations. The NEIC also works closely with EPA's Program and Regional Offices to provide technical support,
consultation, on-site inspection, investigation, and case resolution services in support of the Agency's Civil Enforcement
program.
EPA's internal operations programs provide centralized management services to ensure that EPA is fulfilling its mission. The
office and the functions it performs is: Office of Mission Support (facilities infrastructure and operationsand information
technology/data management).

This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement,
control, and compliance activities and administrative activities of the operating programs, including activities under the
Working Capital Fund. This appropriation supports core agency programs implementing environmental statutes.
To protect and improve air quality, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) applies a variety of approaches and tools. These
include: developing and implementing strategies to attain ambient air quality standards for the six criteria pollutants; reducing
regional haze through regional approaches where significant transport of pollutants occurs; and developing control measures
for sources that are appropriately regulated at the Federal level. EPA develops and issues national technology-based and risk-based
standards using a sector-based approach to reduce the quantity of toxic air pollutants emitted from industrial and manufacturing
processes, as well as from urban sources. The Acid Rain program will continue its market-based approach to achieving reduced
emissions of sulfur dioxide, primarily from electric utilities. The market-based approach also will be used in other programs,
where permitted under the Clean Air Act, to reduce emissions of air pollutants. EPA will work with States and sources to implement
the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule to obtain high quality data in a cost-effective manner. In addition, EPA will develop and
use public information and training to reduce public exposure to radiation. EPA will focus its domestic efforts to ensure
that ozone-depleting substance production and import caps under the Montreal Protocol and Clean Air Act continue to be met.
The Budget includes a proposal to authorize EPA to administer the ENERGY STAR program through the collection of user fees,
which would be collected and obligated out of the Environmental Programs and Management Account. By administering the ENERGY
STAR program through the collection of user fees, the EPA would continue to provide a trusted resource for consumers and businesses
who want to purchase products that save them money and help protect the environment.
EPA works to protect and restore our waters to ensure that drinking water is safe, and that aquatic ecosystems sustain fish,
plants and wildlife, as well as support economic, recreational, and subsistence activities. EPA will focus on core statutory
requirements and water infrastructure. EPA will support the following Clean Water Act program components: water quality criteria,
standards and technology; National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES); water monitoring; Total Maximum Daily Loads
(TMDLs); watershed management; water infrastructure and grants management; core wetlands programs and Clean Water Act section
106 program management. EPA also will work with States and Tribes to reduce risks to drinking water contaminants, for example,
through revisions to the Lead and Copper Rule. In addition, EPA will continue work with States to transition to the next generation
management and reporting tool, the Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) Prime used by the majority of state drinking
water programs. The new SDWIS Prime management and reporting tool will provide improvements in program efficiency and data
quality, greater public access to drinking water data, facilitation of electronic reporting, reductions in reporting burdens
on laboratories and water utilities, reductions in data management burdens, and ultimately reduction in public health risk.
EPA's programs work to preserve land by ensuring proper management of waste under multiple environmental statutes. EPA will
continue to assist States in putting in place and maintaining permits at facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous
waste. Although States are the primary implementers of the Corrective Action program, which requires facilities managing hazardous
waste to clean up past releases, EPA directly implements the program in six States and provides technical support and oversight
for State activities. EPA also works with Tribes to maintain tribal underground storage tank (UST) programs. EPA also supports
the operations and management of the Brownfields program, including training and technical support to assist communities to
address issues associated with redevelopment or reuse of properties that may be complicated by the presence of contamination.
EPA works with State, local, and tribal partners to help protect the public and the environment from releases of hazardous
substances from chemical handling facilities by helping them develop area-wide emergency response and contingency plans. EPA
conducts audits and inspections of those facilities handling more than a threshold quantity of certain extremely hazardous
chemicals and that are required to implement a Risk Management Program to prevent releases. The Budget proposes to institute
a voluntary fee whereby owners and/or operators of chemical facilities can choose to pay EPA for on-site compliance assistance
with the Risk Management Program. The collected fees will be deposited in the Environmental Programs and Management Account
and used by EPA to pay for this service.
In collaboration with our tribal government partners, EPA works to strengthen human health and environmental protection in
Indian Country. EPA works to ensure that its environmental protection programs are implemented in Indian Country either by
EPA or by the Tribes. EPA will continue the direct implementation assessment to better understand EPA direct implementation
responsibilities and activities on a program-by-program basis in Indian Country. Also, EPA provides resources and technical
assistance for federally recognized Tribes to create and maintain effective environmental programs by collaborating with Tribes
to develop long-term EPA-Tribal Environmental Plans (ETEP) for all federally recognized Tribes.
To ensure that food will be free from unsafe levels of pesticide residues, EPA applies strict health-based standards in establishing
and reevaluating tolerances for residues in food or animal feed. EPA also works to expedite the registration of reduced risk
pesticides when possible, and to ensure that older pesticides meet current health and environmental standards. To respond
to emerging health issues, EPA develops methods to evaluate the efficacy of products intended to combat public health pests.
EPA intends to reduce potential human and environmental risks from commercial and residential exposure to pesticides through
programs that focus on farm worker protection, pollinator health and protection, endangered species protection, environmental
stewardship, and integrated pest management. EPA's toxics program will continue to make substantial progress in protecting
public health and the environment from potentially harmful industrial chemicals by assessing the safety of new and existing
chemicals, reducing gaps in the availability of chemical data, strengthening management of chemical information, and providing
easier and more complete public access to non-confidential chemical data. EPA will conduct existing chemical prioritization
and evaluations under the provisions of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) as amended by the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical
Safety for the Twenty-First Century Act, and address any unreasonable risks identified through such evaluations.
EPA will engage both bilaterally and through multilateral institutions to improve international cooperation to prevent and
address the transboundary movement of pollution and coordinate with other nations to protect the environment and human health.
Combined with public demand for information, unprecedented changes in information technology are altering the way EPA, States,
and Tribes collect, manage, analyze, use, secure, and provide access to quality environmental information. EPA is working
with the States and Tribes to strengthen our information quality, leverage information maintained by other government organizations,
and develop new tools that provide the public with simultaneous access to multiple data sets, allowing users to understand
local, tribal, State, regional, and national environmental conditions. Key to achieving information quality will be the further
development of the National Environmental Information Exchange Network, which is primarily an affiliation between EPA and
the States and Tribes. EPA will continue to reduce reporting burdens, improve data quality, and accelerate data publications
by accelerating the replacement of paper-based submissions with electronic reporting under the Toxic Release Inventory and
other programs.
EPA works in partnership with State and tribal agencies to enforce and build compliance with Federal environmental laws passed
by the Congress that ensure our communities have clean air, water, and land. EPA will enforce environmental laws to correct
noncompliance and promote cleanup of contaminated sites. To improve compliance with environmental laws, EPA works to provide
easy access to tools that help regulated entities, Federal agencies, and the public understand these laws and find efficient,
cost-effective means for putting them into practice. EPA's enforcement program targets inspections and other compliance monitoring
activities according to the degree of health and environmental risk. The program collaborates with the Department of Justice,
States, local government agencies, and tribal governments to ensure consistent and fair enforcement of all environmental laws
and regulations. The program seeks to aggressively pursue violations that threaten communities, ensure a level economic playing
field by ensuring that violators do not realize an economic benefit from noncompliance, and deter future violations. The Civil
Enforcement program develops, litigates, and settles administrative and civil judicial cases against serious violators of
environmental laws. The Criminal Enforcement program enforces the nation's environmental laws through targeted investigations
of criminal conduct, committed by individual and corporate defendants, that threatens public health and the environment. Bringing
criminal cases sends a strong deterrence message to potential violators, enhances aggregate compliance with laws and regulations
and protects our communities. In 2020, to maximize compliance, the Agency will refocus efforts towards areas with significant
noncompliance issues and where enforcement can address the most substantial impacts to human health and the environment.
EPA's internal operations programs provide centralized management services and leadership to ensure that EPA is fulfilling
its mission. The offices and the functions they perform within the Environmental Programs and Management appropriation are:
the Office of Mission Support (facilities, infrastructure and operations; acquisition management; human resources management
services; grants and interagency agreements; suspension and debarment; administrative law exchange network; information security;
information technology/data management); the Office of the Administrator (civil rights/Title VII compliance; congressional,
intergovernmental and external relations; Science Advisory Board; children's health; Small Business Ombudsman; and regulatory
and economic management and analysis work); the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning, annual planning
and budgeting, financial services, financial management, analysis, and accountability); and the Office of the General Counsel
(FOIA management, civil rights/Title VI compliance, and legal advice). Since these centralized services provide support across
EPA, many of these programs are funded across EPA's appropriations.

This appropriation supports core Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs through grants to States, Tribes and U.S.
districts and Territories. Funding is provided to assist State and tribal partners in implementing their environmental programs
to protect human health and the environment. EPA is using common elements for State and tribal grant agreements, including
Performance Partnership Grants.
The EPA will provide financial and technical assistance to assist States and Tribes in the development and management of their
clean air plans and support solutions that address their local air quality management needs. EPA also will provide funds to
States and Tribes using section 105 authority of the Clean Air Act to operate and maintain air monitoring networks to obtain
data on emissions of criteria pollutants and air toxics. EPA has funded State and local fine particulate monitoring using
the requirements of section 103 of the Clean Air Act, as authorized in annual appropriation bills. EPA also is committed to
transitioning funding for fine particulate monitoring into the funding authorized by section 105 of the Clear Air Act. Section
103 provides full funding for pilot programs, demonstrations, research, and other one-time activities, whereas section 105
requires States and local agencies to provide matching funds of at least 40 percent of the amount required for the entire
continuing State or local clean air program. Using funds provided by EPA under Clean Air Act sections 103 and 105, States
and Tribes will prepare State Implementation Plans and Tribal Implementation Plans to achieve the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards, implement monitoring requirements, and support the National Air Toxics Trends Stations monitoring network. Additionally,
States may utilize funding to support States' collection, review, and use of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data and permitting
of large sources of GHG's. EPA also will implement the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act Grant Program by providing funding through
grants and rebates to continue to reduce diesel emissions in priority areas and areas of highly concentrated diesel pollution.
EPA also will support its partnerships with States, Tribes, and U.S. Territories through water grants and Performance Partnership
grants to carry out core statutory requirements of the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act. Funding supports work
to reduce human exposure to contaminants in drinking water, fish and shellfish, and recreational waters and to protect and
restore watersheds and aquatic ecosystems. Funding is provided through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) for States
and Tribes to make low interest loans to public water systems to upgrade drinking water infrastructure to help them provide
safe drinking water. In addition, Clean Water SRF funding provides low interest loans to communities and includes a set-aside
for Tribes and U.S. Territories to construct wastewater treatment infrastructure, in addition to other projects that enhance
water quality. In sum, the Federal Government has invested over $60 billion in grants to help capitalize the SRFs. With the
required State match, additional State contributions, and funds from program leveraging, funds made available for loans total
over $163.5 billion since their inception. EPA will continue to work with its partners to enhance the capacity of communities,
States, and private investors to plan and finance drinking water and wastewater infrastructure improvements.
Direct grants also are provided to help address the significant water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Alaska Native
Villages. EPA has implemented a management plan that optimizes the pace of the program. EPA will continue to strengthen State
core water quality protection and water enforcement programs.
The Budget proposes funds for the America's Water Infrastructure Act grant programs that will assist in lead testing and drinking
water fountain replacement in schools, sewer overflow control, and water infrastructure workforce investment. These resources
would complement State and local drinking water and wastewater infrastructure investments as well as funding provided through
other Federal channels.
The Healthy Schools grant program will provide support to States, local governments, Tribes and non-profit organizations to
address environmental health concerns found in schools. Funding supports efforts to identify and help prevent, reduce and
resolve environmental hazards, prevent childhood lead exposure, reduce asthma triggers, promote integrated pest management
and reduce or eliminate childhood exposure to toxics in schools.
EPA's Brownfields program supports land revitalization by providing grants to States, Tribes, and local communities to assess
and clean up real property which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant,
or contaminant. EPA Brownfields assessment and clean-up projects assist local communities in paving the way for the productive
reuse of contaminated properties and abandoned sites.
Hazardous and non-hazardous wastes on the land can migrate to the air, groundwater, and surface water, contaminating drinking
water supplies, causing acute illnesses or chronic diseases, and threatening healthy ecosystems in urban, rural, and suburban
areas. Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, EPA provides grants to States to strengthen their
ability to implement hazardous waste programs. When appropriate, EPA also may provide financial and technical assistance to
eligible tribal governments and inter-tribal consortia to conduct hazardous waste work in Indian Country.
In addition, EPA provides grants to assist States, Tribes, and other partners with worker safety activities, protection of
endangered species and water sources, and promotion of environmental stewardship. To protect, sustain or restore the health
of people, communities and ecosystems, EPA focuses on the geographic areas with human and ecological communities at most risk.
EPA is working to protect, sustain, and restore the health of natural habitats and ecosystems by identifying and evaluating
problem areas, developing tools, and improving community capacity to address problems.
Under Federal environmental statutes, EPA is responsible for protecting human health and the environment in Indian Country.
EPA works with over 560 federally recognized Tribes located across the United States to improve environmental and human health
outcomes. Indian Country totals more than 70 million acres, with reservations ranging from less than 10 acres to more than
14 million acres. EPA will provide funding to build and enhance the capacity of Tribes to address environmental and public
health challenges in Indian Country, including lack of access to safe drinking water, sanitation, adequate waste facilities,
and other environmental safeguards taken for granted elsewhere.
EPA will provide funding to States, U.S. Territories, Tribes, and inter-tribal consortia to help them develop their information
management and technology capabilities. The purpose of this support is two-fold: to assist the Agency in providing ready access
to real-time environmental information; and to allow States and Tribes to better integrate and share their environmental information.
To promote compliance with laws intended to protect human health and the environment, EPA will continue to award State and
tribal grants to assist in the implementation of compliance and enforcement provisions of environmental laws. EPA provides
funding to States and Tribes for compliance assurance activities including inspections and enforcement case support activities.
EPA programs will provide Pesticide Program State and Tribal Assistance Grants that support pesticide product and user compliance
with provisions of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) through cooperative agreements with States
and Tribes. The cooperative agreements support State and tribal compliance and enforcement activities under FIFRA.
Toxic Substance Compliance Grants are provided to States and Tribes to prevent or eliminate unreasonable risks to human health
or the environment and to ensure compliance with toxic substance regulations. The grants support inspection programs associated
with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), lead-based paint (§402(a), §406(b), and the Renovation, Repair and Painting rule [RRP]), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The compliance monitoring
activities conducted by the States will be a cooperative endeavor addressing the priorities of the Federal Toxic Substances
Control Act program and State toxics program issues.

TSCA Services Fees are authorized by section 26 of the Toxic Substances Control Act, as amended by Public Law 114–182, the
Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act. Fees deposited in this account are paid by chemical manufacturers
(including importers) and, in limited circumstances, processors who are required to: submit test data (TSCA section 4); submit
notification of or information related to intent to manufacture a new chemical or significant new use of a chemical (TSCA
section 5); manufacture a chemical substance that is subject to a risk evaluation (TSCA section 6); or request that the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) conduct a risk evaluation on an existing chemical (TSCA section 6), subject to the agency's approval
of the request. TSCA Service Fees are estimated to offset 25 percent of the costs to administer sections 4, 5, and 6 of the
law as well as collecting, processing, reviewing, and protecting information about chemical substances from disclosure as
appropriate under TSCA section 14. The statute requires that fees for manufacturer-requested risk evaluations offset 50 or
100 percent of the costs of those evaluations. EPA finalized a rule for the collection of TSCA fees on September 27, 2018.
The final rule became effective in October 2018.

Fee Spending Restrictions. Current statutory language in the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) restricts the activities that
Environmental Protection Agency can fund from collections deposited in the Reregistration and Expedited Processing Revolving
Fund. The Budget proposes language to clarify the Agency's authority to utilize resources in the Fund to review existing pesticide
registrations for their compliance with current FIFRA standards, ensuring market access for pesticide registrants. Specifically,
fees collected would be available for the following activities as they relate to pesticide licensing: processing and review
of data submitted in association with a registration, information submitted pursuant to section 6(a)(2) of FIFRA, supplemental
distributor labels, transfers of registrations and data compensation rights, additional uses registered by States under section
24(c) of FIFRA, data compensation petitions, and minor amendments and notifications; laboratory support and audits; administrative
support; development of policy and guidance; rulemaking support; information collection activities; and the portions of salaries
related to work in these areas.

In accordance with section 3024 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6939g(c)), the Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency is authorized to collect and obligate e-Manifest user fees. In 2020, EPA will continue to operate the e-Manifest
system established by the Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest Establishment Act (Public Law 112–195). Based upon authority
to collect and spend e-Manifest fees provided by the Congress in annual appropriations bills, the Agency anticipates collecting
and depositing approximately $24 million in e-Manifest user fees into the Hazardous Waste Electronic Manifest System Fund.
Fees deposited in this account will fully support the e-Manifest program, including operation of the system, necessary program
expenses, and future development costs.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received authority to establish a Working Capital Fund (WCF) and was designated
a pilot franchise fund under Public Law 103–356, the Government Management and Reform Act of 1994. EPA received permanent
authority for the WCF in Public Law 105–65, as part of an effort to increase competition for governmental administrative services.
EPA's WCF became operational in 1997 and funds the following main activities: information technology and telecommunications
operations and data services, agency postage costs, Cincinnati voice services and background investigations, managed by the
Office of Mission Support; financial and administrative systems, employee relocations, and budget formulation system managed
by the Office of the Chief Financial Officer; the Agency's continuity of operations site, managed by the Office of Land and
Emergency Management; and regional information technology service and support managed by Region 8. The 2020 amount reflects
only base resources and may change during the year in accordance with programmatic needs.

This appropriation provides funds for the implementation of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA). This appropriation supports core Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) programs.
To preserve and restore land and to protect human health and the environment, EPA reduces the risks posed by releases of hazardous
substances, pollutants, and contaminants, and protects against unacceptable exposure by cleaning up contaminated sites and
restoring ground water to beneficial use. EPA applies the most effective and scientifically sound methods to address the risks
associated with the presence of hazardous substances, pollutants, and contaminants, improve response capabilities, and maximize
the effectiveness of response and cleanup actions. Cleanup and response activity at contaminated sites addresses environmental
concerns, such as the removal of contaminated soil and treatment of contaminated groundwater, to reduce human exposures to
hazardous substances, pollutants, and contaminants, and to provide long-term human health protection. EPA works to ensure
that all releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, and contaminants into the environment are appropriately addressed by
responding to incidents and providing technical support. To prepare for and respond to incidents of national significance,
EPA includes among its efforts improving decontamination readiness. EPA conducts research to improve methods and models and
to accelerate scientifically defensible and cost-effective decisions for cleanup at complex contaminated sites in accordance
with CERCLA. EPA also works to maximize responsible parties' participation in site cleanups and pursue greater recovery of
EPA's cleanup costs.
EPA protects communities and helps return contaminated properties to productive use by ensuring that responsible parties pay
for and/or conduct cleanups. The enforcement program recovers Federal cleanup funds from responsible parties to save taxpayer
dollars. The goal is to maximize the participation of liable and viable parties in performing and paying for cleanups in both
the remedial and removal programs. EPA investigates and refers for prosecution criminal and civil violations of CERCLA.
EPA's internal operations programs provide centralized management services to ensure that EPA is fulfilling its mission. The
offices and the functions they perform within the Superfund appropriation are: the Office of Mission Support (facilities infrastructure
and operations; acquisition management; human resources management services; grant and interagency agreement management; suspension
and debarment; exchange network; information security; and information technology/data management); the Chief Financial Officer
(strategic planning, annual planning and budgeting, financial services, and financial management, analysis, and accountability);
and General Counsel (legal advice). Because these centralized services provide support across EPA, the internal operations
programs are funded across EPA's appropriations.

The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund, authorized by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of
1986, as amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, the Energy Policy Act
(EPAct) of 2005, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), and the Fixing America's Surface Transportation
Act (FAST Act), provides funds for preventing and responding to releases from underground storage tanks. The Trust Fund is
financed by a 0.1 cent per gallon tax on motor fuels through September 30, 2022.
LUST funds are allocated to States through cooperative agreements to clean up sites posing the greatest threat to human health
and the environment as authorized under section 9003(h) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, as amended, and also to implement
the activities authorized by Title XV, Subtitle B of EPAct. Funds also are used for grants to non-state entities under section
8001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended. Federally recognized Tribes receive grant funding
under Public Law 105–276. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) supports oversight, clean-up, and enforcement programs
which are implemented by the States. LUST Trust Fund dollars can be used for state-led clean-ups and for State oversight of
responsible party clean-ups. The LUST program promotes effective responses to releases from federally regulated underground
storage tanks containing petroleum by enhancing State, local, and tribal enforcement and response capability. This appropriation
supports core agency programs.
To protect the Nation's groundwater and drinking water from petroleum releases from Underground Storage Tanks (UST), EPA provides
compliance assistance tools, technical assistance and training to promote and enforce UST systems compliance and clean-ups.
EPA also focuses its LUST research efforts on assessing sites and evaluating the implications of alternative remediation technologies,
policies, and management actions to assess and cleanup leaks at fueling stations.
EPA's internal operations programs provide centralized management services to ensure that EPA is fulfilling its mission. The
offices and the functions they perform are: Office of Mission Support (facilities infrastructure and operations, and acquisition
management); and the Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning; annual planning and budgeting; financial services; and financial
management, analysis, and accountability).

This appropriation provides for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) responsibilities for prevention, preparedness,
response, and enforcement activities authorized under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution
Act of 1990 (OPA). This appropriation supports core Agency programs.
EPA's Oil Spill program protects U.S. waters by preventing, preparing for, responding to, and monitoring oil discharges. Under
the regulatory framework established by the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) and Federal Response Plan
(FRP) regulations, EPA conducts oil spill prevention, preparedness, inspection, and enforcement activities associated with
more than 600,000 non-transportation-related oil storage facilities. The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency
Plan (NCP) identifies EPA's jurisdiction over inland oil spills and sets forth the framework for response. EPA accesses the
Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard, to obtain reimbursement for site-specific spill response
activities. More than 30,000 oil and hazardous substance discharges occur in the United States every year, with a significant
portion of these discharges occurring in the inland zone over which EPA has jurisdiction.
EPA develops and manages the regulations and protocols under Subpart J of the NCP which require manufacturers of various oil
spill response products to test their products prior to listing on a Product Schedule. The Product Schedule identifies those
oil spill remediation agents, such as dispersants and surface washing agents, which could be authorized for use by an On-Scene
Coordinator (OSC) on an oil discharge. Product testing ensures their effectiveness and provides toxicity information used
by OSCs and Regional Response Teams in making informed decisions regarding the use of certain products in response to specific
spills. EPA focuses its oil spill research efforts on human health impacts, ecological effects, and shoreline and coastal
impacts from oil discharges and use of dispersants and other chemical agents, as well as spill remediation alternatives and
innovative technology development and evaluation, including green technologies. Spill response is a priority for the Agency,
and EPA has been instrumental in providing guidance for various response technologies. A key factor in providing guidance
on spill response technologies is developing a firm understanding of the science behind spill behavior in the environment.
Appropriated funds for the Inland Oil Spill Programs support work designed to prevent oil spills using civil enforcement and
compliance assistance approaches, as well as to prepare for and respond to any oil discharges affecting the inland waters
of the United States. Pursuant to Clean Water Act section 311 (Oil Spill and Hazardous Substances Liability) requirements,
EPA's Civil Enforcement program develops policies; issues administrative clean-up and removal orders and orders protecting
public health; pursues administrative remedies and/or refers civil judicial actions to the Department of Justice; assesses
civil penalties for discharges into the environment or violations of administrative orders or oil pollution prevention regulations;
assists regulated entities in understanding their legal requirements under the Clean Water Act; and assists in the recovery
of clean-up costs expended by the Government. The Budget proposes to institute a voluntary fee whereby owners and/or operators
of oil facilities can choose to pay EPA for on-site compliance assistance with SPCC and FRP regulations. The collected fees
will be deposited in the Inland Oil Spill Programs Account and used by EPA to pay for the service.
EPA's internal operations programs provide centralized management services to ensure that EPA is fulfilling is mission. The
office and function is Office of Mission Support (facilities infrastructure and operations).
