Naval Reactors.—This account funds all naval nuclear propulsion work. It begins with reactor technology development and design, continues
through reactor operation and maintenance, and ends with reactor plant disposal. The program ensures the safe and reliable
operation of reactor plants in nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers (constituting over 40 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.

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. This includes minimizing the civilian use of highly enriched uranium (HEU); removing or eliminating the world's
most vulnerable weapons-usable nuclear material; and disposing of excess nuclear material in the United States.
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 with countries in bilateral partnerships, and with and through multilateral partners such as the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and International Criminal Police Organization (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.
National Technical Nuclear Forensics (NTNF).—NNSA will focus on expanding nuclear forensics capabilities in both research and development (R&D) and operations leveraging
existing capabilities in the DNN and Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation offices.
Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D).—DNN R&D drives the innovation of unilateral and multi-lateral technical capabilities to detect nuclear detonations; foreign
nuclear weapons programs' activities; and the presence, movement, or diversion of special nuclear materials. To meet national
and Departmental nuclear security requirements, DNN R&D leverages the unique facilities and scientific skills of the Department
of Energy, academia, and industry to perform research, conduct technology demonstrations, develop prototypes, and produce
and deliver sensors for integration into operational systems.
Nonproliferation Construction.—The budget supports the 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 and remove plutonium from the state of South Carolina. The request
supports the continuation of preliminary design for the Surplus Plutonium Disposition (SPD) project, as well as long-lead
procurements. With available prior year balances, termination activities for the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication project will
be completed in FY 2021.
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, including helping to coordinate the interagency nuclear
forensics mission.

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. Funding is included to support the deactivation and
decommissioning (D&D) of specific high-risk excess facilities to be transferred to the Environmental Management program for
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
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 the Department's work is managed and performed in a manner that protects workers and the public as well as the
Department's material and information assets. The program functions include: policy and guidance development and technical
assistance; analysis of health, safety, environment, and security performance; nuclear safety; domestic and international
health studies; medical screening programs for former workers; Energy Employee Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act
support; quality assurance programs; interface with the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board; national security information
programs; and security for the Department's facilities and personnel in the National Capital Area.
Enterprise Assessments.—The program supports the Department's independent assessments of security, cybersecurity, emergency management, and environment,
safety and health performance; enforcement of worker safety and health, nuclear safety; and classified information security
regulations; and implementation of security and safety professional development and training programs.
Specialized Security Activities.—The program supports national security related analyses requiring highly specialized skills and capabilities.
Legacy Management.—The program supports long-term stewardship activities (e.g., groundwater monitoring, disposal cell maintenance, records
management, and management of natural resources) at sites where active remediation has been completed. In addition, Legacy
Management funds the post-retirement benefits for former contractor employees. In 2021, the requested funding supports the
administration of the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP), which includes funding cleanup activities
performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
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 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 three thrusts: developing, deploying, and maintaining
world-class computing and network facilities for science; advancing research in applied mathematics, computer science and
advanced networking; and partnering with other DOE and Office of Science (SC) programs to advance the use of its high performance
computers to drive scientific advances for the Nation. 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 quantum computing and networking, artificial
intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) in the science domain and in 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 SC and the 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 high-performance computing (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 invests
in fundamental research to drive the scientific frontiers and innovation in high priority areas such as QIS, AI/ML, microelectronics,
polymer upcycling, critical materials and rare earth separations, and exascale computing. BES also manages a research portfolio
in accelerator physics, x-ray and neutron detectors, and x-ray-optics to explore technology options for developing the next
generations of x-ray and neutron sources. BES also supports twelve 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. These facilities
undergo continual development and upgrade of capabilities, including fabricating new x-ray and neutron experimental stations,
improving core facilities, and providing new stand-alone instruments and capabilities. BES also manages construction projects
to build new or upgrade existing facilities to provide world-leading tools and instruments to the scientific community and
maintain U.S. leadership in the physical sciences.
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 predictive 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. The program also is initiating new
efforts in translating biodesign rules to functional properties of novel biological polymers. 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 in both terrestrial and subsurface
environments. 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) provides high quality genome sequence data and analysis techniques for a wide variety of plants and microbial communitiesin
support of sustainable, renewable bioenergy and bioproducts research, and environmental research. JGI continues to be an essential
component of DOE systems biology efforts. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) research facility provides unique, multi-instrumented
capabilities for continuous, long-term observations of clouds, aerosols, and related meteorological information that can be
used to improve earth system models. The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) provides integrated experimental
and computational resources for discovery and technological innovation in the environmental molecular sciences.
Fusion Energy Sciences.—The Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program mission is to expand the fundamental understanding of matter at very high temperatures
and densities and to build the scientific foundation needed to develop a fusion energy source. This is accomplished through
the study of plasma, the fourth state of matter, and how it interacts with its surroundings. Plasma science is wide-ranging,
since 99 percent of the visible universe is composed of plasmas of various types. High-temperature fusion plasmas at hundreds
of millions of degrees occur in national security applications albeit for very short times. The same fusion plasmas 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 the 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. The element supports FES Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing centers 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. The element supports research to develop novel
materials that can withstand the extreme fusion environment; 3) Discovery Plasma Science: Research—This elment supports research
on areas including 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 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 of particle physics. 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, to study some of the rarest
particle interactions predicted by the Standard Model , and to 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
scientists to map the distribution of dark matter and perhaps unravel the nature of dark energy. Investments in Theoretical,
Computational, and Interdiciplinary Physics provide the framework to explain experimental observations and gain a deeper understanding
of nature while addressing cross-cutting challenges in QIS and AI/ML. Advanced Technology R&D fosters fundamental research
into particle acceleration and detection techniques and instrumentation, supporting the frontiers and enabling future discovery
experiments. Accelerator Stewardship supports R&D for advanced technologies and research tools synergistic with HEP that
directly impact other sciences,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 approximately
95 percent of all nuclear science federal research funding. NP supports highly trained university and national laboratory
scientists 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 nearing completion
at Michigan State University, and will provide advanced world-leading capabilities for science, national security applications,
and isotope production. Researchers will use NP's low energy, precision nuclear experiments, many enabled by new quantum sensors,
to search for a deeper understanding of nuclear interactions. The Electron Ion Collider (EIC) will ensure U.S. leadership
in nuclear physics research and accelerator R&D. The EIC will enable scientists to investigate and answer questions about
the basic building blocks of nuclei and how quarks and gluons (particles inside neutrons and protons), interact dynamically
via the strong force to generate the fundamental properties of neutrons and protons, such as mass and spin.
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. The program provides mission readiness for
the production of radioactive and stable isotopes that are in short supply for research and a wide array of applications.
Construction continues for the Stable Isotope Production and Research Center to expand the stable isotope production capability
to meet the demand of the Nation, while also mitigating dependency on critical isotopes from foreign suppliers. 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 2021 Budget includes funding for three new construction starts and fifteen on-going SLI 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 over 23,000 researchers located at over 300
institutions and the 17 DOE national laboratories, spanning all fifty states and the District of Columbia and 28 scientific
user facilities serving over 33,000 users per year, as well as supervision of major construction projects, is a Federal responsibility.

energy generation, reduce waste generation, enhance safety, and mitigate proliferation risk.
Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies.—This program conducts R&D and strategic infrastructure investments to develop innovative and crosscutting nuclear energy
technologies, including investments in modeling and simulation tools and providing access to unique nuclear energy research
capabilities through the Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF).
Radiological Facilities Management.—This program supports the continued operation of U.S. university research reactors by providing university research reactor
fuel services, as well as maintenance of, and safety upgrades to, fuel fabrication equipment and facilities.
Advanced Reactors Demonstration Program.—This program focuses federal and non-federal resources on the actual construction of demonstration reactors that are safe
and affordable (to build and operate) in the near-and mid-term.
Versatile Test Reactor Project.— This program will provide the United States with a fast neutron testing capability to support the development of advanced
nuclear reactor technologies. The Versatile Test Reactor (VTR) project will provide a leading edge capability for accelerated
testing of advanced nuclear fuels, materials, instrumentation, and sensors.
Idaho Facilities Management.—This program manages the planning, acquisition, operation, maintenance, and disposition of the NE-owned facilities and capabilities
at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), maintains Department of Energy mission-supporting facilities and capabilities at the
INL in a safe, compliant status to support the Department's nuclear energy research, testing of naval reactor fuels and reactor
core components, and a diverse range of national security technology programs that support the National Nuclear Security Administration
(NNSA) and other Federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security in the areas of critical infrastructure protection,
nuclear nonproliferation, and incident response.
Idaho Sitewide Safeguards and Security.—This program supports the INL complex nuclear facility infrastructure and enables R&D in support of multiple program missions.
Program Direction.—This program provides the federal staffing resources and associated costs required to support the overall direction and
execution of the NE programs.

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, which is included in 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.
Defense Critical Energy Infrastructure (DCEI) Energy Mission Assurance.—The DCEI Energy Mission Assurance program will identify, evaluate, prioritize, and assist in developing executable strategies
to stregthen the energy infrastructure systems that supply critical infrastructure needed to ensure government continuity
following severe natural and manmade disasters. This is a new activity in FY 2021.
Transmission Permitting & Technical Assistance (TPTA).—The TPTA program helps States address issues shaping their energy infrastructure programs, policies, and decisions by advancing
methods and approaches that address challenges such as incorporating resilience into planning processes, developing effective
grid modernization strategies, and evaluating myriad resource options. TPTA also carries out regulatory responsibilities and
evaluates regulatory reform to reduce the Federal burden associated with investing in our Nations electricity infrastructure.
Program Direction.—Program Direction provides for the costs associated with the Federal workforce and contractor services that support OE's
mission. These costs include salaries, benefits, travel, training, building occupancy, IT systems, and other related expenses.

The 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 resiliency, and improve the efficiency of existing
and new 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.

This account funds environmental activities at Naval Petroleum Reserve 1 (NPR-1) in California (Elk Hills) and Naval Petroleum
Reserve 3 (NPR-3) in Wyoming (Teapot Dome). Following the sale of the Government's interests in NPR-1 in California (Elk
Hills), post-sale environmental assessment/remediation activities continue to be required by the legally binding agreements
under the Corrective Action Consent Agreement with the State of California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC).
Program activities encompass execution of a technical baseline, interim measures, environmental sampling and analysis, corrective
measures, waste removal and disposal, and confirmatory sampling. In FY 2021, funding will continue ongoing activities to attain
release from the remaining environmental findings related to the sale of NPR-1. This Budget also includes a proposal to sell
15 million barrels of SPR crude oil to raise funding for other Departmental priorities, including $242 million needed to fund
the comprehensive completion of remediation work at the Naval Petroleum Reserve-1 site in Elk Hills, CA. On January 30, 2015,
the Department finalized the sale of the Teapot Dome Oilfield. The Department continues to oversee post-sale remediation activities
and ground water sampling for the closure of the landfill in compliance with National Environmental Policy Act and Wyoming
Department of Environmental Quality requirements.

The 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 2021 Budget will support the
SPR's operational readiness and drawdown capabilities of 4.4 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) and sell one million barrels of 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 Budget also proposes to sell 15 million barrels of SPR crude oil to fund other Department priorities,
including the comprehensive remediation of the Navel Petroleum Reserve-1 site in Elk Hills, CA.

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 2021 Budget proposes to deposit into the SPR Petroleum Account up to $19 million in proceeds from
the proposed 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. 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 $19 million will contribute to deficit
reduction.

The Energy Security and Infrastructure Modernization Fund was established in Section 404 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015
to finance modernization of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Revenue raised through sales of SPR crude oil will support
Life Extension 2 project investments needed to ensure the SPR can maintain its operational readiness capability, meet its
mission requirements, and operate in an environmentally responsible manner. The FY 2020 budget cycle concluded the four-year
(2017–2020) financing structure of multi-year oil sales that support the SPR's modernization program, therefore no budget
request is made for FY 2021.

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's request provides continued funding for program contracts associated with statutorily required
workload associated with hydropower and natural gas infrastructure, including environmental reviews, stakeholder engagement,
and construction oversight.
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 2021 request includes increased
funding to advance the Commission's Part 12 inspection program and reviews of operational LNG 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. FERC promotes the reliable operation of the bulk-power system through
oversight of the electric reliability organization (ERO). A Commission-certified 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 FERC-jurisdictional
infrastructure. This is achieved through collaboration with federal and jurisdictional entities to identify, inform, assess,
and address cyber and physical security threats and vulnerabilities, and to promote voluntary best practices that provide
an important complement to FERC's related responsibilities for both regulatory requirements and enforcement. 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 sixty-seven percent 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 challenges of new and emerging knowledge/skill demands and the loss of institutional knowledge. The Commission's
overall IT infrastructure must meet the demands and keep pace with the continual changes in the technology landscape; proactively
monitor and mitigate emerging cybersecurity threats; and adhere to federal requirements. In 2021, the Commission will make
additional investments to continue its multi-year effort to update and modernize the Commission's information technology infrastructure
and core mission and support systems to maintain a secure and reliable IT infrastructure to meet the needs of the Commission
and provide innovative solutions to support employees. The Commission is also undergoing a multi-year renovation effort within
its headquarters building. The renovation project will enable the agency to realize significant space savings. The FY 2021
request includes approximately $9.1 million to cover construction costs 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. The Commission achieves this by maintaining processes and public information services that promote
transparency and open communication with respect to the conduct of the Commission's business. 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 in FY 2021 and sell the
one million barrels of ultra-low sulfur distillate currently held in the reserve, with proceeds from the sale intended for
deficit reduction.

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 FY 2021 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 2021, 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 2021 Budget
maintains current Administration policy to eliminate this program, while maintaining portfolio monitoring capabilities.
The FY 2021 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 2021, 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
2021 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 2021 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 2021, LPO will stop originating loans for TELGP but will continue to monitor any loans
that may close by October 1, 2020.

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 56 million in 2020. As of the end of FY 2019, Southeastern's PPW reserve balance was $14 million.

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.
Operation and maintenance, southwestern power administration
For expenses necessary for operation and maintenance of power transmission facilities and for marketing electric power and
energy, for construction and acquisition of transmission lines, substations and appurtenant facilities, and for administrative
expenses, including official reception and representation expenses in an amount not to exceed $1,500 in carrying out section
5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s), as applied to the Southwestern Power Administration, $47,540,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302 and section 5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944 (16 U.S.C. 825s), up to $37,140,000 collected by the Southwestern Power Administration from the sale of power and related services shall be credited to this
account as discretionary offsetting collections, to remain available until expended, for the sole purpose of funding the annual
expenses of the Southwestern Power Administration: Provided further, That the sum herein appropriated for annual expenses shall be reduced as collections are received during the fiscal year
so as to result in a final fiscal year 2021 appropriation estimated at not more than $10,400,000: Provided further, That notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302, up to $70,000,000 collected by the Southwestern Power Administration pursuant to the Flood Control Act of 1944 to recover purchase power and

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 2019, Southwestern's

1The FY 2020 and FY 2021 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.

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 2019, WAPA's PPW reserve balance was $362 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.

Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is a Federal electric power marketing agency in the Pacific Northwest. BPA markets hydroelectric
power from 21 multipurpose water resource projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and 10 projects of the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation, plus some energy from non-Federal generating projects in the region. These generating resources and BPA's
transmission system are operated as an integrated power system with operating and financial results combined and reported
as the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). BPA provides about 50 percent of the region's electric energy supply and
about three-fourths of the region's high-voltage electric power transmission capacity.
BPA is responsible for meeting the net firm power requirements of its requesting customers through a variety of means, including
energy conservation programs, acquisition of renewable and other resources, and power exchanges with utilities both in and
outside the region.
BPA finances its operations with a business-type budget under the Government Corporation Control Act, 31 U.S.C. 9101–10, on
the basis of the self-financing authority provided by the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act of 1974 (Transmission
Act) (Public Law 93–454) and the U.S. Treasury borrowing authority provided by the Transmission Act, the Pacific Northwest
Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Pacific Northwest Power Act) (Public Law 96–501) for energy conservation, renewable
energy resources, capital fish facilities, and other purposes, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public
Law 111–5), and other legislation. Authority to borrow from the U.S. Treasury is available to the BPA on a permanent, indefinite
basis. The amount of U.S. Treasury borrowing outstanding at any time cannot exceed $7.70 billion. BPA finances its approximate
$4.3 billion annual cost of operations and investments primarily using power and transmission revenues and loans from the
U.S. Treasury.
Operating Expenses-Transmission Services.—Provides for operating over 15,000 circuit miles of high-voltage transmissions lines and 261 substations, and for maintaining
the facilities and equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 2021.
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 2021 capital obligations are estimated to be $799.7 million.
Contingencies.—Although contingencies are not specifically funded, the need may arise to provide for purchase of power in low-water years;
for repair and/or replacement of facilities affected by natural and man-made emergencies, including the resulting additional
costs for contracting, construction, and operation and maintenance work; for unavoidable increased costs for the planned program
due to necessary but unforeseen adjustments, including engineering and design changes, contractor and other claims and relocations;
or for payment of a retrospective premium adjustment in excess nuclear property insurance.
Financing.—The Transmission Act provides for the use by BPA of all receipts, collections, and recoveries in cash from all sources,
including the sale of bonds, to finance the annual budget programs of BPA. These receipts result primarily from the sale of
power and transmission services. The Transmission Act also provides for authority to borrow from the U.S. Treasury at rates
comparable to borrowings at open market rates for similar issues. BPA has $7.70 billion of U.S. Treasury borrowing authority
provided by the Transmission Act; the Pacific Northwest Power Act for energy conservation, renewable energy resources, capital
fish facilities, and other purposes; the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009; and other legislation. At the end
of 2019, BPA had outstanding bonds with the U.S. Treasury of $5,280 million. At the end of 2019, BPA also had $7,593.3 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 2019, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $1,064 million and also expects to make payments of $624 million in 2020 and
$689 million in 2021. The 2021 payment is expected to be distributed as follows: interest on bonds and appropriations ($232
million), amortization ($402 million), and other ($55 million). BPA also received credits totaling approximately $124 million
applied against its Treasury payments in 2019 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 2021, no new direct loan obligations may be made.
Operating Results.—Total revenues are forecast at approximately $3.9 billion in 2021.
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.
