                                PURPOSE

    The purpose of this bill is to provide appropriations for 
fiscal year 2017, beginning October 1, 2016, and ending 
September 30, 2017, for energy and water development, and for 
other related purposes. It supplies funds for water resources 
development programs and related activities of the Corps of 
Engineers' civil works program in title I; for the Department 
of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation and Central Utah 
Project in title II; for the Department of Energy's energy 
research activities, including environmental restoration and 
waste management, and atomic energy defense activities of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration in title III; and for 
independent agencies and commissions, including the Appalachian 
Regional Commission, Delta Regional Authority, Denali 
Commission, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in title IV.

                SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES AND RECOMMENDATIONS

    The fiscal year 2017 budget estimates for the bill total 
$37,547,285,000 in new budget (obligational) authority. The 
recommendation of the Committee totals $38,370,741,000. This is 
$823,456,000 above the budget estimates and $1,047,751,000 
above the enacted appropriation for the current fiscal year.

                         Subcommittee Hearings

    The Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water 
Development held four sessions in connection with the fiscal 
year 2017 appropriations bill. Witnesses included officials and 
representatives of the Federal agencies under the 
subcommittee's jurisdiction.
    The recommendations for fiscal year 2017, therefore, have 
been developed after careful consideration of available data.

                              INTRODUCTION

    The Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water 
Development's allocation totals $37,537,000,000 of net budget 
authority for fiscal year 2017, including adjustments, which 
represents an increase of $355,010,000 over fiscal year 2016. 
Within the amount recommended, $20,023,000,000 is classified as 
defense (050) spending and $17,514,000,000 is classified as 
non-defense (non-050) spending.
    The Committee's constitutional responsibility to oversee 
the Federal Government's expenditure of taxpayer dollars 
requires setting priorities and ensuring these funds are 
executed as Congress has directed. To develop this 
recommendation, the Committee held four budget hearings in 
February and March 2016 to examine the budget requests for the 
Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation, Department of 
Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, and the 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The hearings provided officials 
from the agencies with an opportunity to present the 
administration's most pressing priorities to the Committee. The 
Committee also invited and received recommendations from 
Senators.
    The Committee's recommendation reflects that process, and 
includes funding for the highest priority activities across the 
agencies funded in the bill. The recommendation includes funds 
for critical water infrastructure, including our Nation's 
inland waterways, ports, and harbors; agricultural water supply 
and drought relief in the West; groundbreaking scientific 
research and development, including world-class supercomputing; 
support for the Nation's nuclear weapons, non-proliferation, 
and nuclear Navy programs; and critical economic development. 
The Committee did not recommend funding for low-priority 
programs, and rescinded unused funds from prior years.

                               Oversight

    To ensure appropriate oversight of taxpayer dollars, the 
Committee's recommendation includes financial reporting 
requirements in each title of the bill, and creates additional 
budget control points for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

                         DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

                       Corps of Engineers--Civil

                       OVERVIEW OF RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $6,000,000,000 for the Corps of 
Engineers, an increase of $1,380,000,000 from the budget 
request.
    The Committee recommendation sets priorities by supporting 
our Nation's infrastructure. Specifically, the Committee 
recommendation provides adequate appropriations to utilize all 
of the estimated $106,000,000 of fiscal year 2017 revenues from 
the Inland Waterways Trust Fund and meets the target for Harbor 
Maintenance Trust Fund expenditures prescribed for the Corps of 
Engineers in the Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 
2014 [WRRDA].

                              INTRODUCTION

    The Corps of Engineers' civil works mission is to provide 
quality, responsive engineering services to the Nation in peace 
and war. Approximately 23,000 civilians and about 290 military 
officers are responsible for executing the civil works mission. 
This bill only funds the civil works functions of the Corps of 
Engineers.
    The Corps of Engineers maintains our inland waterways, 
keeps our ports open, manages a portion of our drinking water 
supply, provides emission free electricity from dams, looks 
after many of our recreational waters, helps manage the river 
levels during flooding, provides environmental stewardship, and 
emergency response to natural disasters. The annual net 
economic benefit generated by the Corps of Engineers' civil 
works mission is estimated to be $109,830,000,000, which 
equates to a return of about $16.60 for every $1 expended.
    The Corps of Engineers' responsibilities include:
  --navigation systems, including 13,000 miles of deep draft 
        channels, 12,000 miles of inland waterways, 239 lock 
        chambers, and 1,067 harbors which handle over 2.3 
        billion tons of cargo annually;
  --flood risk management infrastructure, including 709 dams, 
        14,700 miles of levees, and multiple hurricane and 
        storm damage risk reduction projects along the coast;
  --municipal and industrial water supply storage at 136 
        projects spread across 25 States;
  --environmental stewardship, infrastructure, and ecosystem 
        restoration;
  --recreation for approximately 370 million recreation visits 
        per year to Corps of Engineers' projects;
  --regulation of waters under Federal statutes; and
  --maintaining hydropower capacity of nearly 24,000 megawatts 
        at 75 projects.

                       FISCAL YEAR 2017 WORK PLAN

    The Committee has recommended funding above the budget 
request for Investigations, Construction, Operations and 
Maintenance, and Mississippi River and Tributaries. The Corps 
of Engineers is directed to submit to the Committee a work 
plan, not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of 
this act, subject to the Committee's approval, proposing its 
allocation of these additional funds. The Corps of Engineers is 
directed not to obligate any funding above the budget request 
for studies or projects until the Committee has approved the 
work plan for fiscal year 2017. The work plan shall be 
consistent with the following general guidance, as well as the 
specific direction the Committee provides within each account.
  --None of the funds may be used for any item for which the 
        Committee has specifically denied funding.
  --Except for funds proposed for new starts, the additional 
        funds are provided for ongoing studies or projects that 
        were either not included in the budget request or for 
        which the budget request was inadequate.
  --The work plan shall include a single group of new starts 
        for Investigations and Construction.
  --Funding associated with a category may be allocated to 
        eligible studies or projects within that category.
  --Funding associated with a subcategory may be allocated only 
        to eligible studies or projects within that 
        subcategory.
  --The Corps of Engineers may not withhold funding from a 
        study or project because it is inconsistent with the 
        administration's policy.
  --The Committee notes that these funds are in excess of the 
        administration's budget request, and that 
        administration budget metrics should not disqualify a 
        study or project from being funded.

                             REPROGRAMMING

    The Committee is retaining the reprogramming legislation 
provided in the Energy and Water Development and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016.

                         AQUACULTURE ACTIVITIES

    Since 2007, shellfish growers in the State of Washington 
have submitted approximately 1,000 requests to initiate or 
expand aquaculture activities. To date, the Corps of Engineers 
has not processed any of these requests and the Committee is 
concerned with this ongoing delay. The Committee directs the 
Corps of Engineers to work with the National Marine Fisheries 
Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to complete 
Endangered Species Act consultations, finalize the associated 
Biological Opinion(s), and process the shellfish growers' 
requests. The Committee further encourages the Corps of 
Engineers to communicate directly with the regulated industry 
and other interested stakeholders to ensure all have clarity on 
permitting requirements.

                    NEW STARTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017

    The Committee recommends new starts in both the 
Investigations and Construction accounts for fiscal year 2017. 
The Committee decision is based, in part, on the budget request 
which provides funding to complete 11 feasibility studies, 1 
preconstruction engineering design [PED] studies, and 6 
construction projects.
    Investments in our infrastructure are investments in our 
economy. These investments should be continued even during 
constrained budgets, as the benefits continue to accrue for 
decades. The Committee recommends up to 5 new feasibility study 
starts, and 8 new construction starts.
    The Corps of Engineers is directed to propose, not later 
than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act, a single 
group of new starts to the Committee as a part of the work 
plan, under the direction included above under the heading 
``Fiscal Year 2017 Work Plan''.
    A new start construction shall not be required for work 
undertaken to correct a design deficiency on an existing 
Federal project; it shall be considered ongoing work.

                   CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING

    The Committee did not accept or include Congressionally 
Directed Spending, as defined in section 5(a) of rule XLIV of 
the Standing Rules of the Senate. However, the Committee has 
recommended additional programmatic funds for Investigations, 
Construction, Operations and Maintenance, and Mississippi River 
and Tributaries to address deficiencies in the budget request. 
In some cases, these additional funds have been included within 
defined categories, as in prior years, and are described in 
more detail in their respective sections, below.

                             INVESTIGATIONS

Appropriations, 2016....................................    $121,000,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................      85,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     126,522,000

    The Committee recommends $126,522,000 for Investigations, 
an increase of $41,522,000 from the budget request. The 
Committee's recommendation allows the Corps of Engineers to 
begin up to 5 new feasibility study starts.

                              INTRODUCTION

    Funding in this account is used to develop feasibility and 
PED studies to address the Nation's water infrastructure needs, 
in support of project authorization. The Committee is very 
concerned that only one-third of the budget request for 
Investigations is directed to specifically authorized studies, 
with the remainder directed to nationwide programs that will 
not result in construction recommendations. The Committee 
recognizes that the administration's budget does not provide 
adequate funding for Investigations, and specifically PED 
funding to allow many of America's most important waterways to 
move efficiently from planning to construction. The Committee 
therefore recommends additional funding to be used to 
seamlessly continue feasibility studies into the PED study 
phase.

                               NEW STARTS

    The Committee's recommendation includes funding for up to 5 
new feasibility study starts. Each new feasibility study shall 
be selected based on the Corps of Engineers' prioritization 
process and included as a part of the Investigations work plan.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The table below displays the budget request and the 
Committee's recommendation for Investigations. Funding is 
classified as either for feasibility or PED studies, as 
indicated in the columns, to provide greater transparency in 
the study phases.

    Arctic Deep Draft Port Study.--The Committee encourages the 
Corps of Engineers to continue to thoroughly evaluate the 
proposed deep draft port in Nome, taking into account the wide 
range of economic benefits the project would bring to the 
region, the expansion of search and rescue capabilities it 
would provide, and the national security reasons for its 
construction. The President noted during his visit to Alaska 
that an Arctic port north of Dutch Harbor is needed, and the 
Committee supports that goal.
    Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway System.--In the 
Fiscal Year 2016 Omnibus, the Committee required the Corps of 
Engineers to provide a report detailing the scope, schedule, 
and budget for completing any update or reanalysis of the 
Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program [NESP]. The 
Committee is aware that this report is under review, but the 
Administration has now missed the Committee's deadline by at 
least 3 months. While an updated economic analysis may be 
required, the Administration has failed to tell the Committee 
what it believes is necessary to move forward and complete PED. 
This information is fundamental to the Committee's ability to 
conduct oversight of the program. The Corps of Engineers is 
directed to provide this report to the Committee expeditiously.
    Puget Sound Nearshore Study.--The Committee commends the 
Corps of Engineers for developing an implementation strategy 
for the Puget Sound Nearshore Study with the State of 
Washington in June 2015. The Committee encourages the Corps of 
Engineers to proceed with the tiered implementation strategy by 
advancing four projects through authorities under section 544 
of the Water Resources Development Act of 2000 and an 
additional eight projects through section 206 of the Continuing 
Authorities Program. The Committee directs the Puget Sound 
Nearshore Study to be recognized as the feasibility component 
for the purposes of section 544. The Committee further 
encourages the Corps of Engineers to acknowledge early action 
restoration efforts by the State of Washington as part of the 
overall implementation strategy, including cost share 
obligations.
    Puget Sound Federal Caucus.--The Committee commends the 
Corps of Engineers for signing the Puget Sound Federal Caucus 
Memorandum of Understanding [MOU] on March 23, 2014. The 
recovery and cleanup of Puget Sound is essential to our 
Nation's economy and continued coordination and sharing of 
expertise among Federal partners is critical to furthering 
current efforts. The Committee encourages the Corps of 
Engineers to work with their counterparts in the Puget Sound 
Federal Caucus to renew and strengthen the MOU prior to its 
expiration on March 27, 2017.
    Missouri River Projects.--None of the funds made available 
by this act may be used for the study of the Missouri River 
Projects authorized in section 108 of the Energy and Water 
Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2009 
(Public Law 111-8).
    Aquatic Nuisance Species.--The Corps of Engineers is 
directed to expedite authorized actions related to addressing 
the threat Asian carp pose to the Great Lakes basin, including 
the Brandon Road Study. Given the promise Brandon Road Lock and 
Dam holds as a single point to control transfer of invasive 
species, including Asian carp, delays to this study would pose 
an unnecessary threat to the Great Lakes and Mississippi River 
Basin. Upon completion of the study, the Corps of Engineers is 
directed to expeditiously pursue authorization of any proposed 
modification to Brandon Road Lock and Dam through the 
appropriate congressional committees.
    The Corps of Engineers is further directed to establish 
formal emergency procedures under the authorities provided 
under section 1039 of the Water Resources Reform and 
Development Act of 2014 (Public Law 113-121), including rapid 
response protocols, monitoring, and other countermeasures, that 
are appropriate to prevent Asian carp from passing beyond the 
Brandon Road Lock and Dam while still complying with the Lock's 
existing authorized purposes and the River and Harbor Act of 
1899 (33 U.S.C. 401 et seq.). These procedures shall be 
established in coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service and the Asian Carp Regional Coordinating Committee.
    Research and Development, Additional Topic--Urban Flood 
Damage Reduction and Stream Restoration in Arid Regions.--The 
Committee recommendation includes $2,500,000 for the Corps of 
Engineers' research and development [R&D] program to continue 
its focus on the management of water resources projects that 
promote public safety; reduce risk; improve operational 
efficiencies; reduce flood damage in arid and semi-arid 
regions; sustain the environment; and position our water 
resource systems to be managed as systems and adaptable due to 
the implications of a changing climate. The R&D program should 
also continue its focus on science and technology efforts to 
address needs for resilient water resources infrastructure.
    Export Terminals.--The Committee strongly encourages the 
Corps of Engineers to complete environmental review for export 
terminal projects as expeditiously as possible, in a 
transparent manner, and in a reasonable timeframe. In addition, 
the Committee directs the Corps of Engineers to thoroughly 
consult with the Secretary of the Interior, and all affected 
tribal nations regarding the environmental and economic impacts 
as well as treaty rights of all tribes affected by export 
terminal projects undergoing environmental review.
    Disposition of Completed Projects.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $1,000,000 for disposition of completed 
projects to be administered as provided in the budget request. 
The Corps of Engineers is encouraged to work with State and 
local stakeholders on these projects.
    Coastal Resiliency Projects.--In the Consolidated and 
Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113-
235), the Committee directed the Corps of Engineers and the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to work 
collaboratively to identify projects that would enhance the 
resiliency of ocean and coastal ecosystems, communities, and 
economies. With this initial phase of identification now 
complete, the Committee expects the Corps of Engineers to begin 
implementation of these projects through the Continuing 
Authorities Program or other Corps of Engineers authorities, as 
required by WRRDA section 4014. The Committee also urges the 
Corps of Engineers to complete its Implementation Guidance for 
WRRDA Section 4014 as soon as practicable.
    San Francisquito.--The Committee is concerned by repeated 
delays with the San Francisquito Creek flood control study, 18 
years after a significant flood event. The Committee urges the 
Corps of Engineers to proceed at an expeditious pace to achieve 
a Chief's Report by early 2018 and involve other Federal 
agencies so as to avoid future permitting delays.
    Hydraulic Modeling.--The Committee recommends $1,000,000 to 
develop a hydraulic model to assist in the regional strategic 
flood risk management decisions of at least five States along a 
major navigable waterway.
    Oyster Reefs.--The Committee encourages the Corps of 
Engineers when conducting or reviewing environmental 
assessments or impact statements for navigation or coastal 
restoration projects in areas where oyster reefs exist to 
consider water quality impacts on those reefs and where 
feasible mitigate any negative impacts.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $30,340,000 in additional funds for 
Investigations. From these additional funds, the Corps of 
Engineers is authorized to begin up to 5 new feasibility 
studies. The Corps of Engineers is directed to allocate these 
additional funds in accordance with the direction in the front 
matter under the heading ``Fiscal Year 2017 Work Plan''. 
Additionally, the Corps of Engineers shall comply with the 
following direction in allocating funds made available for 
Investigations:
  --Allocating funds for PED and new feasibility studies shall 
        take priority over allocating funds for ongoing 
        feasibility studies.
  --The Corps of Engineers shall not apply new start criteria 
        to studies moving from the feasibility phase to the PED 
        phase.
  --The Corps of Engineers shall consider PED phase work as a 
        continuation of the investigations and by definition, a 
        study is not completed until PED is completed.
  --When evaluating proposals for new feasibility studies, the 
        Corps of Engineers is encouraged to give priority to 
        those studies with executed Feasibility Cost Sharing 
        Agreements and a sponsor with the ability to provide 
        any necessary cost share for the study phase. The Corps 
        of Engineers is encouraged to support opportunities to 
        restore critical habitat and enhance the Nation's 
        economic development, job growth, and international 
        competitiveness.
  --When evaluating ongoing studies to propose for funding, the 
        Corps of Engineers shall consider completing or 
        accelerating ongoing studies which will enhance the 
        Nation's economic development, job growth, and 
        international competitiveness; studies located in areas 
        that have suffered recent natural disasters; or studies 
        for areas where revisions to flood frequency flow lines 
        may result in existing infrastructure failing to meet 
        the requirements under the National Flood Insurance 
        Program.
  --The Corps of Engineers shall include appropriate requests 
        for funding in future budget submissions for PED and 
        new feasibility studies initiated in fiscal year 2017.
  --Funding shall be available for existing studies, including 
        studies in the PED phase, that were either not included 
        in the budget request or for which the recommendation 
        in the budget request was inadequate. Ongoing studies 
        that are actively progressing and can utilize the 
        funding in a timely manner are eligible for these 
        additional funds.
  --The Corps of Engineers, in future fiscal years, shall 
        prepare the budget to reflect study completions, 
        defined as completion of PED.

Appropriations, 2016....................................  $1,862,250,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................   1,090,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,813,649,000

    The Committee recommends $1,813,649,000 for Construction, 
an increase of $723,649,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee's recommendation allows the Corps of Engineers to 
select up to 8 new construction starts to begin in fiscal year 
2017.

                              INTRODUCTION

    Funding in this account is used for construction, major 
rehabilitation, and related activities for water resources 
development projects having navigation, flood and storm damage 
reduction, water supply, hydroelectric, environmental 
restoration, and other attendant benefits to the Nation. Funds 
to be derived from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund will be 
applied to cover the Federal share of the Dredged Material 
Disposal Facilities Program.
    The Committee is concerned that the budget request is 
inadequate to meet the needs of projects that depend on funding 
from this account. Consequently, the recommendation includes 
$696,649,000 in additional funding for ongoing work.

                               NEW STARTS

    The Committee recommends up to 8 new construction starts. 
Of the new construction starts, at least one shall be for an 
environmental infrastructure project with priority given to 
projects that use advanced technologies to diversify and 
improve the efficiency of water supplies, and at least one 
navigation project. The Committee considers the Mud Mountain 
Dam project--proposed in the budget request as a new start--to 
be ongoing construction and therefore not subject to a new 
start determination.

                      INLAND WATERWAYS TRUST FUND

    The Committee notes that the budget request only proposed 
to spend $33,750,000 of the estimated $106,000,000 deposits for 
fiscal year 2017 into the Inland Waterways Trust Fund [IWTF]. 
This would leave an estimated $72,250,000 of fiscal year 2017 
IWTF deposits unspent. Congress has taken several steps in 
recent years to provide additional funding to our Nation's 
inland waterways. First, Congress passed WRRDA 2014, which 
reduced the amount of money that is required from the IWTF to 
replace Olmsted Lock. Second, Congress worked with the 
commercial waterways industry to establish a priority list for 
projects that needed to be funded. Third, in 2014, Congress 
enacted the bipartisan Able Act, which increased the user fee 
that commercial barge owners had asked to pay in order to 
provide more money to replace locks and dams across the 
country. These steps increased the amount of funding that was 
available annually for inland waterways projects from the IWTF 
from about $85,000,000 in fiscal year 2014 to now $106,000,000 
this year. Unfortunately, the President's budget request 
severely underfunds inland waterways projects, and in fact, 
only proposes to fund a single project, the Olmsted Locks and 
Dam project, and providing no funding for the other three 
ongoing construction projects, the Locks and Dams 2, 3, and 4, 
Monongahela River Navigation Project, the Kentucky Lock 
Addition, and the Chickamauga Lock. The Committee recommends 
using an additional $75,325,000 of IWTF deposits above the 
budget request to address this deficiency.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The table below displays the budget request and Committee's

    Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Dispersal Barrier, 
Illinois.--The issue of hydrologic separation shall be fully 
studied by the Corps of Engineers and vetted by the appropriate 
congressional authorizing committees and specifically enacted 
into law. No funds provided in this act may be used for 
construction of hydrologic separation measures.
    Aquatic Plant Control Program.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $9,000,000 for the Aquatic Plant 
Control Program. Within available funds, $4,000,000 is 
recommended for nationwide research and development to address 
invasive aquatic plants; $4,000,000 is for watercraft 
inspection stations, as authorized by section 1039(d) of WRRDA; 
and $1,000,000 is for monitoring and contingency planning 
associated with watercraft inspection stations as authorized by 
section 1039(e) of WRRDA. The Corps of Engineers is encouraged 
to support cost-shared aquatic plant management programs.
    Continuing Authorities Program.--The Committee recommends 
$19,500,000 for the Continuing Authorities Program [CAP], an 
increase of $16,000,000 from the budget request. CAP is a 
useful tool for the Corps of Engineers to undertake small 
localized projects without being encumbered by the lengthy 
study and authorization phases typical of most Corps of 
Engineers projects. The standing CAP authorities are: flood 
control (section 205), emergency streambank and shoreline 
protection (section 14), beach erosion control (section 103), 
mitigation of shore damages (section 111), navigation projects 
(section 107), snagging and clearing (section 208), aquatic 
ecosystem restoration (section 206), beneficial uses of dredged 
material (section 204), and project modifications for 
improvement of the environment (section 1135). The Committee 
has chosen to fund five of the nine sections rather than only 
the four sections proposed in the budget request.
    The Committee urges the administration to execute the CAP 
program laid out by the Committee and include sufficient 
funding for this program in future budget requests. The Corps 
of Engineers shall continue the ongoing processes for 
initiating, suspending, and terminating projects. Suspended 
projects shall not be reactivated or funded unless the sponsor 
reaffirms in writing its support for the project and 
establishes its willingness and capability to execute its 
project responsibilities. The Chief of Engineers shall provide 
an annual report within 60 days of the end of each fiscal year 
detailing the progress made on the backlog of projects. The 
report shall include the completions and terminations as well 
as progress of ongoing work.
    Hawaii Water Management, Oahu, Hawaii.--The Committee is 
encouraged by the progress of the Hawaii Water Management 
Project, and encourages the Corps of Engineers to utilize funds 
appropriated in prior years to this project to continue 
progress in rehabilitating aged Hawaii irrigation 
infrastructure.
    Public-Private Partnerships.--The Committee notes that the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works and the Chief 
of Engineers have expressed strong support for public-private 
partnerships as a method to reduce the Federal cost of future 
construction projects, and selected one such project as a new 
start in the fiscal year 2016 workplan. The Committee continues 
to support the idea of partnerships and recommends that the 
Corps of Engineers identify new construction starts that 
leverage the private sector through partnerships in fiscal year 
2017.
    Reimbursements.--The Committee directs the Secretary to 
prioritize the Corps of Engineers' reimbursement obligations 
based on projects with signed Project Partnership Agreements. 
The Secretary shall demonstrate plans for the additional 
funding provided by Congress to meet the Project Partnership 
Agreement and Federal Government's fiscal responsibilities. The 
Committee encourages the Corps of Engineers to consider 
prioritizing projects where non-Federal sponsors intend to use 
the funds for additional water resources development 
activities.
    McCook and Thornton Reservoirs, Illinois.--The Committee is 
disappointed by the Corps of Engineer's failure to provide 
funding for McCook Reservoir, and concerned by the Corps of 
Engineers' decision to reject congressional intent and its own 
history on this project. Congressional intent has been clear 
since its authorization in 1988, and in subsequent 
modification; the project is 75 percent complete and the 
Committee urges the Corps of Engineers to complete the project. 
The McCook Reservoir was authorized for flood risk management 
and constructed to help alleviate flooding problems in the 
Metropolitan area of Chicago, Illinois.
    Melvin Price Lock and Dam, Illinois and Missouri.--The 
length of time it is taking the Corps of Engineers to rectify 
the seepage problems that the impoundment of the navigation 
pool is causing to the Wood River Levee, as well as escalating 
cost estimates, continues to be troublesome. The Corps of 
Engineers is encouraged to ensure that the Independent External 
Peer Review and oversight of this project continues and is 
conducted in a manner that will not lengthen an already long 
schedule.
    Metro East Saint Louis, Illinois.--The Committee is 
disappointed by the lack of funding provided to the Metro East 
levee system, which is critical to protecting 288,000 residents 
and employees, 111,700 acres and more than $7,000,000,000 in 
property and infrastructure in the Metro East region from 
rising waters on the Mississippi River. These levees are more 
than 70 years old, in need of repair, and have been prioritized 
by the Corps of Engineers in the past. Further, the Committee 
urges the Corps of Engineers to engage in heightened 
cooperation with non-Federal sponsors. The Committee urges the 
Corps of Engineers to enter a cost share agreement with the 
non-Federal sponsors.
    Mud Mountain Dam.--The Committee commends the Corps of 
Engineers and the National Marine Fisheries Service for 
reaching agreement on a biological opinion [BiOp] to mitigate 
the impact of the ongoing operation of Mud Mountain Dam on 
species listed under the Endangered Species Act [ESA] by 
replacing the barrier structure and building a new fish trap 
facility. The Committee directs that a new construction start 
shall not be required for the Mud Mountain fish passage project 
based on how the Corps of Engineers has treated this and 
similar projects in the past. First, this project has received 
funding from the Construction account in prior years, and has 
received more than $13,000,000 during just the last two fiscal 
years. Second, the Corps of Engineers has not considered 
similar projects associated with BiOp compliance as requiring 
new start determinations. Finally, this project is replacing 
existing infrastructure. Accordingly, no new start 
determination shall be required for this project. The Committee 
further encourages the Corps of Engineers to uphold the 
agency's ESA and tribal treaty responsibilities by requesting 
sufficient funding in future budgets to implement the BiOp 
requirements and complete construction by 2020.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $696,649,000 in additional funds for 
Construction. From these additional funds, the Corps of 
Engineers is authorized to begin up to eight new construction 
starts. The Corps of Engineers is directed to allocate these 
additional funds in accordance with the direction in the front 
matter under the heading ``Fiscal Year 2017 Work Plan''. 
Additionally, the Corps of Engineers shall comply with the 
following direction in allocating funds made available for 
Construction:
  --Of the additional funds provided in this account for flood 
        and storm damage reduction and flood control, the Corps 
        of Engineers shall allocate not less than $20,000,000 
        to continue construction of projects which principally 
        address drainage in urban areas.
  --Additional considerations include whether the project is 
        positioned to permit award of significant items of 
        construction, achieve necessary milestones, or 
        otherwise realize notable construction progress in 
        fiscal year 2017; and the project sponsor expended 
        funds under an existing Project Partnership Agreement 
        for creditable work, including acquisition of rights-
        of-way.
  --None of these funds shall be used for projects in the 
        Continuing Authorities Program.
  --Funding may be for all categories including periodic beach 
        renourishments and reimbursements.
  --Funding may be made available to projects for which the 
        sponsor is awaiting reimbursement from the Federal 
        Government to continue with construction of remaining 
        authorized project features.
    When allocating the additional funding provided in this 
account, the Corps of Engineers shall consider giving priority 
to the following:
  --the benefits of the funded work to the national economy;
  --extent to which the work will enhance national, regional, 
        or local economic development;
  --number of jobs created directly by the funded activity;
  --ability to obligate the funds allocated within the fiscal 
        year, including consideration of the ability of the 
        non-federal sponsor to provide any required cost-share;
  --ability to complete the project, separable element, or 
        project phase with the funds allocated;
  --for flood and storm damage reduction projects (including 
        authorized nonstructural measures and periodic beach 
        renourishments),
    --population, economic activity, or public infrastructure 
            at risk, as appropriate; and
    --the severity of risk of flooding or the frequency with 
            which an area has experienced flooding;
  --for navigation projects, the number of jobs or level of 
        economic activity to be supported by completion of the 
        project, separable element, or project phase;
  --for projects cost shared with the Inland Waterways Trust 
        Fund [IWTF], the economic impact on the local, 
        regional, and national economy if the project is not 
        funded, as well as discrete elements of work that can 
        be completed within the funding provided in this line 
        item;
  --for other authorized project purposes and environmental 
        restoration or compliance projects, to include the 
        beneficial use of dredged material; and
  --for environmental infrastructure, projects with the greater 
        economic impact, projects in rural communities, and 
        projects that benefit counties or parishes with high 
        poverty rates.
    Environmental Infrastructure.--The Committee recommends an 
additional $68,950,000 in the Construction account for 
environmental infrastructure. The Corps of Engineers is 
encouraged to give priority to projects that could be completed 
in fiscal year 2017; projects in rural areas; and projects 
located in towns, cities, and municipalities experiencing 
compliance difficulties with Federal environmental regulations. 
Within available funds, $10,000,000 is for projects authorized 
under section 595 of the Water Resources Development Act of 
1999, as amended.
    Prioritization of Corps of Engineers Projects in Drought 
Stricken Areas.--The Committee urges the Corps of Engineers to 
prioritize any authorized projects that would alleviate water 
supply issues in areas that have been afflicted by severe 
droughts in the last three fiscal years, to include projects 
focused on the treatment of brackish water.
    Efficiency Review.--The Corps of Engineers is directed to 
initiate the efficiency review required by WRRDA section 1012 
and the evaluation of project partnership agreements required 
by WRRDA section 1013.

    Monitoring of Completed Navigation Projects.--Of the 
funding provided, $4,000,000 shall be for continued development 
and field-testing of platforms to enable scalable, cost 
effective structural health monitoring of critical civil 
infrastructure.
    Operations and Maintenance--Fisheries.--The Committee is 
concerned that a reduction in or elimination of navigational 
lock operations on the Nation's inland waterways is having a 
negative impact on river ecosystems, particularly the ability 
of a number of endangered, threatened and game fish species to 
migrate through waterways, particularly during critical 
spawning periods. The Committee is aware of preliminary 
research that indicates reduced lock operations on certain 
Corps of Engineers designated low-use waterways is directly 
impacting migration and that there are effective means to 
mitigate the impacts. The Committee believes maximizing the 
ability of fish to use these locks to move past the dams has 
the potential to restore natural and historic long-distance 
river migrations that may well be critical to species survival. 
In fiscal year 2016, the Committee provided funding to continue 
preliminary research on the impact of reduced lock operations 
on riverine fish. The Committee understands the research 
underway is proving valuable and, within available funds for 
ongoing work, directs the Corps of Engineers to continue this 
research at no less than the 2016 level. The goal of the 
continued funding is to support the continuing research and, 
where appropriate, expand the work to look at ecosystem level 
impacts and additional waterways, lock structures, lock 
operation methods and fish species that will more fully inform 
the Corps of Engineers operations.
    Dam Optimization.--The Corps of Engineers is urged not to 
carry out any reservoir reoperation or reallocation for 
authorized purposes at Corps of Engineers' facilities in the 
Southwestern Division with funds from any non-Federal entity 
other than the non-Federal sponsor until the Corps of Engineers 
has completed all public outreach and coordination, and 
submitted to the relevant authorizing and appropriations 
Committees, and the Congressional delegation representing such 
facility, a detailed analysis of the change in operations of 
the reservoir, and specific information on whether the 
activities would alter availability of water for existing 
authorized purposes at such facility, as well as compensation 
for lost water that would be necessary to make users whole if 
such activities were carried out.
    Dam Operations Manual Updates.--In the South Pacific 
Division, the Corps of Engineers may accept and expend 
contributions from non-Federal entities and other Federal 
agencies to fund all or a portion of the cost of carrying out a 
review or revision of operational documents, including water 
control plans, water control manuals, water control diagrams, 
release schedules, rule curves, operational agreements with 
non-Federal entities, and any associated environmental 
documentation for any Corps of Engineers project, non-Federal 
projects regulated for flood control by the Secretary, or 
Bureau of Reclamation transferred works regulated for flood 
control by the Secretary.
    The Dalles Dam.--The Committee is aware of a Corps of 
Engineers legal analysis which finds that a new tribal village 
can be constructed pursuant to section 204 of the Flood Control 
Act authorizing construction of The Dalles Dam. The Corps of 
Engineers is encouraged to complete a development plan for a 
new tribal village at The Dalles Dam in consultation with 
affected Columbia River tribes and the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs.
    WRRDA Section 6002.--The Committee supports the Corps of 
Engineers performing a review of their inventory, in accordance 
with section 6002 of the Water Resources Reform and Development 
Act of 2014, not later than 1 year after the date of enactment 
of this Act.
    WRRDA Section 4001.--The Congress has made clear its intent 
that the Susquehanna, Delaware, and Potomac River Basin 
Commissions be supported, and the Corps of Engineers is 
encouraged to budget accordingly.
    Isle of Shoals North and Cape Arundel Dredged Material 
Placement Site.--The Cape Arundel Disposal Site in the State of 
Maine selected by the Department of the Army as an alternative 
dredged material disposal site under section 103(b) of the 
Marine Protection Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, shall 
remain open until April, 15 2024, until the remaining disposal 
capacity of the site has been utilized, or until final 
designation of an Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site for 
southern Maine under section 102(c) of the Marine Protection 
Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, whichever first occurs, 
provided that the site conditions remain suitable for such 
purpose and that the site may not be used for disposal of more 
than 80,000 cubic yards from any single dredging project.
    Donor Ports and Energy Transfer Ports.--The Committee 
provides $50,000,000 for eligible donor ports and energy 
transfer ports in accordance with WRRDA section 2106. The 
Committee notes the Corps of Engineers has failed to issue 
implementation guidance for section 2106 as directed by the 
Committee. With respect to eligible donor ports, the Committee 
directs 50 percent of such funds be equally divided between the 
eligible donor ports; and the remaining 50 percent of such 
funds be divided between the eligible donor ports based on each 
eligible donor port's percentage of the total Harbor 
Maintenance Tax revenues generated at such ports, in accordance 
with WRRDA section 2101. Funds recommended for section 2106 
shall be used at the discretion of each eligible donor port and 
energy transfer port in accordance with section 2106.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--The fiscal year 2017 
budget request does not fund operations, maintenance, and 
rehabilitation of our Nation's aging infrastructure 
sufficiently to ensure continued competitiveness in a global 
marketplace. Federal navigation channels maintained at only a 
fraction of authorized dimensions, and navigation locks and 
hydropower facilities, well beyond their design life, result in 
economic inefficiencies. The Committee believes that investing 
in operations, maintenance, and rehabilitation of 
infrastructure today will save taxpayers money in the future.
    The Committee recommendation includes additional funds to 
continue ongoing projects and activities, including periodic 
dredging of ports and harbors. The Committee directs that 
priority in allocating these funds be given to completing 
ongoing work maintaining authorized depths and widths of 
harbors and shipping channels, including where contaminated 
sediments are present, and for addressing critical maintenance 
backlog. Particular emphasis should be placed on projects where 
there is a U.S. Coast Guard presence; that will enhance 
national, regional, or local economic development; or that will 
promote job growth or international competitiveness.
    The Committee is concerned that the administration's 
criteria for navigation maintenance do not allow small, remote, 
or subsistence harbors and waterways to properly compete for 
scarce navigation maintenance funds. The Committee urges the 
Corps of Engineers to revise the criteria used for determining 
which navigation maintenance projects are funded in order to 
develop a reasonable and equitable allocation under this 
account. The Committee supports including criteria to evaluate 
the economic impact that these projects provide to local and 
regional economies.
    Water Operations Technical Support.--Funding in addition to 
the budget request is included to continue research into 
atmospheric rivers funded in fiscal year 2015.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work--Deep Draft Harbor and 
Channel.--The Committee recommendation includes $250,000,000 in 
additional funding for deep-draft harbor and channel 
maintenance. Within the amounts available, the Committee urges 
the Corps of Engineers to give priority to funding strategic 
commercial ports, as designated by the Department of Defense, 
in the fiscal year 2017 work plan if their additional 
maintenance dredging capability for fiscal year 2017 exceeds 
the amount included in the budget request.
    Additional Funding for Navigation Maintenance on Great 
Lakes Navigation System.--The Committee encourages the Corps of 
Engineers to direct additional funding for ongoing work under 
O&M to navigation maintenance, specifically deep-draft harbor 
and channel projects as well as small navigation projects 
essential to the Great Lakes Navigation System.

growth and an enhanced quality of life in the western States, 
the fastest growing region in the United States. The Committee 
remains committed to complete the Central Utah Project, which 
would enable the project to initiate repayment to the Federal 
Government.

                         Bureau of Reclamation


                       OVERVIEW OF RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $1,265,000,000 for the Bureau of 
Reclamation [Reclamation], an increase of $158,841,000 from the 
budget request. The Committee recommendation sets priorities by 
supporting our Nation's infrastructure.

                              INTRODUCTION

    In addition to the traditional missions of bringing water 
and power to the West, Reclamation continues to develop 
programs, initiatives, and activities that will help meet new 
water needs and balance the multitude of competing uses of 
water in the West. Reclamation is the largest wholesaler of 
water in the country, operating 348 reservoirs with a total 
storage capacity of 245 million acre-feet. Reclamation projects 
deliver 10 trillion gallons of water to more than 31 million 
people each year, and provide 1 out of 5 western farmers with 
irrigation water for 10 million acres of farmland that produce 
60 percent of the Nation's vegetables and 25 percent of its 
fruits and nuts. Reclamation manages, with partners, 289 
recreation sites that have 90 million visits annually.

                       FISCAL YEAR 2017 WORK PLAN

    The Committee has recommended funding above the budget 
request for Water and Related Resources. Reclamation is 
directed to submit a work plan, not later than 60 days after 
the date of enactment of this act, to the Committee proposing 
its allocation of these additional funds. Reclamation is 
directed not to obligate any funding above the budget request 
for studies or projects until the Committee has approved the 
work plan for fiscal year 2017. The work plan shall be 
consistent with the following general guidance.
  --None of the funds may be used for any item for which the 
        Committee has specifically denied funding.
  --The additional funds are provided for ongoing studies or 
        projects that were either not included in the budget 
        request or for which the budget request was inadequate.
  --Funding associated with a category may be allocated to 
        eligible studies or projects within that category.
  --Reclamation may not withhold funding from a study or 
        project because it is inconsistent with administration 
        policy. The Committee notes that these funds are in 
        excess of the administration's budget request, and that 
        administration budget metrics should not disqualify a 
        study or project from being funded.

                             REPROGRAMMING

    The Committee is retaining the reprogramming legislation 
provided in the Energy and Water Development and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2016.

                                DROUGHT

    The Committee is particularly concerned about the continued 
drought in the West. The U.S. Drought Monitor for May 12, 2016, 
shows that all Reclamation States are currently suffering from 
drought conditions. Ten of the seventeen Reclamation States are 
suffering from severe to exceptional drought over large 
portions of the individual States. Nearly all of California, 
one-half of Nevada, one-half of Oregon, and some areas of the 
southern Great Plains are suffering from extreme to exceptional 
drought.
    The Committee notes that although this year's El Nino 
weather system resulted in increased precipitation overall, one 
El Nino event is not sufficient to alleviate the severe drought 
conditions facing Reclamation states. The State of California, 
for example, estimates that the state would have needed a 
snowpack total of 150 percent of the historical average by 
April 1, 2016 in order to be able to consider the drought at an 
end. However, California's snowpack, which supplies 
approximately 30 percent of California's water needs in normal 
years, is only at 87 percent of its historical average, despite 
significant El Nino storms.
    In order to address the continued drought in the West, the 
Committee directs Reclamation and the Department of the 
Interior to use all of the flexibility and tools at their 
disposal to mitigate the impacts of this drought. In 
particular, the Committee directs Reclamation to work with the 
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Marine Fisheries 
Service, and relevant state agencies to undertake 
comprehensive, around the clock, real-time monitoring of 
drought conditions and their impact on endangered species and 
rely upon the best available science. The Committee also 
directs Reclamation to work with the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture to expand efforts to supply small rural communities 
with water during the current drought.
    The Committee is pleased to see that Reclamation has 
increased the funding for WaterSmart grants that increase 
efficiencies in current water uses. The Committee also 
appreciates Reclamation including a line in the budget request 
under WaterSmart to provide Drought Response and Comprehensive 
Drought Plans.
    However, these efforts are insufficient to address the 
current scope of this drought and do nothing to address future 
droughts. The Committee believes that the only answer to these 
chronic droughts is a combination of additional storage, 
substantial investments in desalination and recycling, improved 
conveyance, and increased efficiencies in the uses of water 
both for agriculture and potable purposes. As the West has 
consistently been the fastest growing part of the country, it 
is incumbent on Reclamation to lead the way in increasing the 
water that is available from year to year and to incentivize 
more efficient use of the water that is available.

                   CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING

    The Committee did not accept or include Congressionally 
Directed Spending, as defined in section 5(a) of rule XLIV of 
the Standing Rules of the Senate. However, the Committee has 
recommended additional programmatic funds for the Water and 
Related Resources account. In some cases, these additional 
funds have been included within defined categories, as in prior 
years, and are described in more detail in their respective 
sections, below.

                      WATER AND RELATED RESOURCES

Budget estimate, 2017...................................     813,402,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,114,394,000

    The Committee recommends $1,114,394,000 for Water and 
Related Resources, an increase of $158,841,000 when accounting 
for the budget structure, which includes funding in this 
account for Indian Water Rights Settlements and the San Joaquin 
River Restoration Fund, as in prior years.

                              INTRODUCTION

    The Water and Related Resources account supports the 
development, management, and restoration of water and related 
natural resources in the 17 western States. The account 
includes funds for operating and maintaining existing 
facilities to obtain the greatest overall level of benefits, to 
protect public safety, and to conduct studies on ways to 
improve the use of water and related natural resources. Work 
will be done in partnership and cooperation with non-Federal 
entities and other Federal agencies.
    The Committee has increased funding in the Water and 
Related Resources account on a number of line items to better 
allow Reclamation to address the immediate impacts of the 
drought. These funds may be used for environmental restoration 
and compliance activities; water conservation and delivery; 
increased operations and maintenance funding; drought emergency 
assistance planning; WaterSmart grants; and drought response 
and comprehensive drought assistance. The Committee notes that 
Reclamation included more funds in its fiscal year 2017 budget 
request to address the continuing impacts from this drought. 
The Committee encourages Reclamation to maintain or increase 
these levels in the development of its fiscal year 2018 budget 
request.

    CALFED Water Storage Feasibility Studies.--The Committee 
notes that with the passage of California Proposition 1 in 
2014, the California Water Commission is expected to begin 
allocating $2,700,000,000 for the public benefits of water 
storage projects in 2017. To ensure that the CALFED water 
supply projects are able to compete for the available State 
funding, the Committee directs Reclamation to take such steps 
as are necessary to ensure that each of the authorized CALFED 
water storage feasibility studies, and associated environmental 
impact statements, are completed as soon as practicable, and 
that, at a minimum, publicly available drafts of such studies 
and environmental reviews are completed expeditiously in 
accordance with Congressional direction.
    Scoggins Dam, Tualatin Project, Oregon.--The Committee 
recommends $2,000,000 for Safety of Dams preconstruction 
activities at Scoggins Dam as requested. Consistent with the 
Tualatin Project Water Supply Feasibility Study authorized in 
Public Law 108-137 and statutory authority granted in the 
fiscal year 2016 Omnibus Appropriation allowing for additional 
benefits, such as storage, to be conducted simultaneously with 
dam safety improvements for new or supplementary works, the 
Committee directs the Bureau to evaluate alternatives, 
including new or supplementary works provided that safety 
remains the paramount consideration, to address dam safety 
modifications and additional benefits. The Committee directs 
Reclamation to prioritize this joint project including 
commencement of feasibility and environmental review of the 
preferred alternative in fiscal year 2017. The Committee 
understands that a replacement structure downstream could 
significantly reduce project costs for both the Federal 
Government and local stakeholders. The Secretary may accept 
contributed funds from non-Federal contractors to expedite 
completion of any level of review.
    Rural Water Projects.--When allocating resources for rural 
water projects, the Committee prohibits Reclamation from using 
the ability of a non-Federal sponsor to contribute funds in 
excess of the authorized non-Federal cost share as a criterion 
for prioritizing these funds.
    The Committee also directs Reclamation to work with the 
United States Department of the Interior, the Senate Energy and 
Natural Resources Committee, and House Natural Resources 
Committee on legislative solutions to funding authorized 
Reclamation Rural Water Projects.
    WaterSMART Program.--The Committee recommends that grants 
funded under the WaterSMART Program have a near-term impact on 
water and energy conservation and improved water management. 
Reclamation is urged to prioritize funding for projects in 
regions most stricken by drought. The Committee urges 
Reclamation to provide additional funds for the WaterSmart 
program to fund projects that address water challenges in the 
West, including projects that address drought or help 
agricultural water users comply with the Endangered Species 
Act, and projects that support collaborative approaches and 
reduce conflict, including litigation, over water management.
    Additional Funding for Water and Related Resources Work.--
The Committee recommendation includes an additional 
$158,841,000 above the budget request for Water and Related 
Resources studies, projects, and activities. Priority in 
allocating these funds should be given to advance and complete 
ongoing work; improve water supply reliability; improve water 
deliveries; enhance national, regional, or local economic 
development; promote job growth; advance tribal and non-tribal 
water settlement studies and activities; or address critical 
backlog maintenance and rehabilitation activities. Funding 
provided under the heading Additional Funding for Ongoing Work 
may be utilized for pre-construction activities and on projects 
which provide new or existing water supplies through additional 
infrastructure. Reclamation should give priority in allocating 
funds to on-going work on authorized projects for which 
environmental compliance has been completed.
    Buried Metallic Water Pipe.--The Bureau of Reclamation has 
repeatedly disregarded congressional directives related to 
Technical Memorandum No. 8140-CC-2004-1 and the assembly and 
analysis of data on pipeline reliability. Due to this repeated 
pattern for a number of years and failure to meet congressional 
deadlines, Reclamation shall treat the Technical Memorandum as 
a set of non-binding guidelines, instead of a set of 
requirements, as it has repeatedly told Congress. As a set of 
non-binding guidelines, deviations from the Technical 
Memorandum may occur without review and/or approval by any 
Federal entity if the water project has been designed and 
approved by a duly licensed and registered professional 
engineer.
    Water Pumping in California.--The Committee notes that 
water pumping restrictions intended to protect endangered smelt 
in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta have resulted in 
roughly the same amount of water being pumped to Central and 
Southern California during the beginning of 2016, an El Nino 
year, than was pumped during the same period of 2015, an 
extreme drought year. The Committee is deeply concerned that 
Federal agencies responsible for determining when to restrict 
water pumping are relying too heavily on assumptions and 
intuition rather than actual and regular monitoring of water 
conditions and Delta Smelt populations. In an effort to better 
understand the exact impact of pumping operations on the 
ability of Delta Smelt to survive, the Committee directs 
Reclamation to coordinate with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife 
Service to determine additional real-time monitoring is 
necessary to accurately identify the effects of pumping on 
smelt, specifically, whether Delta Smelt are capable of 
migrating back out to the Central Delta when found further 
south of Prisoner's Point, approximately 17 miles from the 
water pumps. If the Department of the Interior finds that 
additional monitoring or expeditious scientific study is 
necessary to make this determination, the Department shall 
promptly implement the necessary monitoring or study. The 
Bureau of Reclamation shall brief the Committee on the results 
of this coordinated inquiry with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 
not later than 60 days after enactment of this act.
    Fish monitoring.--The Committee notes that the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has made significant 
progress in deploying acoustic tags to monitor the migration 
and survival of salmonids between spawning areas and the 
Pacific Ocean. In 2013, tags became small enough to implant in 
endangered winter-run Chinook. The Committee also notes that 
the Corps of Engineers is currently working on a prototype tag 
small and flexible enough for injection into juvenile Pacific 
Lamprey in the Columbia River Basin. The Committee directs 
Reclamation to work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the 
Corps of Engineers to coordinate and expand upon real time fish 
monitoring programs, including the potential deployment of new 
technology. The Bureau of Reclamation shall brief the Committee 
on its efforts not later than 60 days after enactment of this 
act.
    Long-term Stewardship.--Walker Basin Restoration Program 
funds awarded by Reclamation to the National Fish and Wildlife 
Foundation may be used to establish long-term stewardship 
accounts to assist with the long-term management and 
disposition of land, water and related interests acquired from 
willing sellers, with continuing assistance from Reclamation 
under new or extended grant agreements until all Program funds 
have been expended.

                CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT RESTORATION FUND

Appropriations, 2016....................................     $49,528,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................      55,606,000
Committee recommendation................................      55,606,000

    The Committee recommends $55,606,000 for the Central Valley 
Project Restoration Fund, the same as the budget request. This 
appropriation is fully offset by a scorekeeping adjustment from 
revenues.
    The Central Valley Project Restoration Fund was authorized 
in the Central Valley Project Improvement Act, title 34 of 
Public Law 102-575. This fund uses revenues from payments by 
project beneficiaries and donations for habitat restoration, 
improvement and acquisition, and other fish and wildlife 
restoration activities in the Central Valley project area of 
California. Payments from project beneficiaries include several 
required by the act (Friant Division surcharges, higher charges 
on water transferred to non-Central Valley Project users, and 
tiered water prices) and, to the extent required in 
appropriations acts, additional annual mitigation and 
restoration payments.

                    CALIFORNIA BAY-DELTA RESTORATION

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2016....................................     $37,000,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................      36,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      36,000,000

    The Committee recommends $36,000,000 for California Bay-
Delta Restoration, the same as the budget request.
    This account funds activities that are consistent with the 
CALFED Bay-Delta Program, a collaborative effort involving 18 
State and Federal agencies and representatives of California's 
urban, agricultural, and environmental communities. The goals 
of the program are to improve fish and wildlife habitat, water 
supply reliability, and water quality in the San Francisco Bay-
San Joaquin River Delta, the principle hub of California's 
water distribution system.

                       POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2016....................................     $59,500,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................      59,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      59,000,000

    The Committee recommends $59,000,000 for Policy and 
Administration, the same as the request.
    This account funds the executive direction and management 
of all Reclamation activities, as performed by the 
Commissioner's offices in Washington, DC; Denver, Colorado; and 
five regional offices. The Denver office and regional offices 
charge individual projects or activities for direct beneficial 
services and related administrative and technical costs. These 
charges are covered under other appropriations.

                    INDIAN WATER RIGHTS SETTLEMENTS

Appropriations, 2016....................................................
Budget estimate, 2017...................................    $106,151,000
Committee recommendation................................................

    The Committee recommends no funds for Indian Water Rights 
Settlements in this account.
    This account was proposed as a part of the administration 
request to cover expenses associated with four Indian water 
rights settlements contained in the Claims Resolution Act of 
2010 (Public Law 111-291), title X of the Omnibus Public Lands 
Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-11), and the White 
Mountain Apache Tribe Rural Water System Loan Authorization Act 
(Public Law 110-390). Rather than create a new account as 
proposed, the Committee has recommended funding under the Water

                               TITLE III

                          DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

                       Overview of Recommendation

    The Committee recommends $30,741,296,000 for the Department 
of Energy, a decrease of $762,607,000 from the budget request. 
Within the funding recommendation, $19,889,000,000 is 
classified as defense and $10,852,296,000 is classified as non-
defense.
    The Committee recommendation sets priorities by supporting 
basic energy research; reducing spending of mature 
technologies; leading the world in scientific computing; 
addressing the Federal Government's responsibility for 
environmental cleanup and disposal of used nuclear fuel; 
keeping large construction projects on time and on budget; 
effectively maintaining our nuclear weapons stockpile; and 
supporting our nuclear Navy.

                              Introduction

    The mission of the Department of Energy [Department] is to 
ensure America's security and prosperity by addressing its 
energy, environmental, and nuclear challenges through 
transformative science and technology solutions. To accomplish 
this mission, the Secretary of Energy [Secretary] relies on a 
world-class network of national laboratories, private industry, 
universities, States, and Federal agencies, which allows our 
brightest minds to solve our Nation's most important 
challenges.
    The Committee's recommendation for the Department includes 
funding in both defense and non-defense budget categories. 
Defense funding is recommended for atomic energy defense 
activities, including the National Nuclear Security 
Administration, which manages our Nation's stockpile of nuclear 
weapons, and prevents proliferation of dangerous nuclear 
materials, and supports the Navy's nuclear fleet; defense 
environmental cleanup to remediate the former nuclear weapons 
complex; and safeguards and security for Idaho National 
Laboratory. Non-defense funding is recommended for the 
Department's energy research and development programs 
(including nuclear, fossil, and renewable energy, energy 
efficiency, grid modernization and resiliency, and the Office 
of Science), power marketing administrations, the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, and administrative expenses.

                        Reprogramming Guidelines

    The Committee's recommendation includes control points to 
ensure that the Secretary spends taxpayer funds in accordance 
with congressional direction. The Committee's recommendation 
also includes reprogramming guidelines to allow the Secretary 
to request permission from the Committee for certain 
expenditures, as defined below, which would not otherwise be 
permissible. The Secretary's execution of appropriated funds 
should be fully consistent with the direction provided under 
this heading and in section 301 of the bill, unless the 
Committee includes separate guidelines for specific actions in 
this report.
    Prior to obligating any funds for an action defined below 
as a reprogramming, the Secretary shall notify and obtain 
approval of the Committee. The Secretary should submit a 
detailed reprogramming request in accordance with section 301 
of the bill, which should, at a minimum, justify the deviation 
from prior congressional direction and describe the proposed 
funding adjustments with specificity. The Secretary shall not, 
pending approval from the Committee, obligate any funds for the 
action described in the reprogramming proposal.
    The Secretary is also directed to inform the Committee 
promptly and fully when a change in program execution and 
funding is required during the fiscal year.
    Definition.--A reprogramming includes:
  --the reallocation of funds from one activity to another 
        within an appropriation;
  --any significant departure from a program, project, 
        activity, or organization described in the agency's 
        budget justification as presented to and approved by 
        Congress;
  --for construction projects, the reallocation of funds from 
        one construction project identified in the agency's 
        budget justification to another project or a 
        significant change in the scope of an approved project;
  --adoption of any reorganization proposal which includes 
        moving prior appropriations between appropriations 
        accounts; and
  --any reallocation of new or prior year budget authority, or 
        prior year deobligations.

                        Crosscutting Initiatives

    The budget request proposes several crosscutting 
initiatives that span several program offices. The Committee 
supports the Secretary's efforts to reach outside of individual 
program offices to draw on the diverse disciplines within the 
agency as a whole. These initiatives, which address the Energy-
Water Nexus; Exascale computing; the Grid Modernization 
Initiative; subsurface science, technology and engineering 
research, development, and deployment; supercritical carbon 
dioxide; cybersecurity; and advanced materials, would allow for 
a more comprehensive review of complex issues. Budgetary 
constraints do not allow the Committee to recommend full 
funding for these initiatives at this time, but the Committee 
directs the Secretary to prioritize funds that are provided 
within this recommendation to support these crosscutting 
initiatives to the maximum extent possible.
    Grid Modernization.--The Committee remains encouraged by 
the Secretary's efforts toward grid modernization research and 
development planning that will ensure a path toward an 
integrated, secure, clean, and reliable electricity 
infrastructure while remaining affordable to consumers. The 
Committee recognizes the strategic goals of the grid 
modernization crosscut activity and is supportive of the 
valuable role of the Grid Modernization Laboratory Consortium, 
which consists of 14 National Laboratories that work in concert 
to address grid modernization challenges across the Department, 
and looks forward to execution of the first year of the Grid 
Multi-Year Program Plan. The Committee supports the continued 
implementation of a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary research 
and development program managed through the consortium of the 
National Laboratories and cost-shared with non-Federal partners 
to focus on six technical areas: institutional support; design 
and planning tools; system operations, power flow, and control; 
sensing and measurement; devices and integrated system testing; 
and security and resilience. The Committee also encourages the 
Department's continued coordination to ensure grid-related 
research across the Department complex is not duplicative.
    The Committee directs the Department of Energy to conduct a 
study to determine the costs and benefits of net-metering and 
distributed solar generation to the electrical grid, utilities 
and ratepayers, no later than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this act.
    The Committee encourages the Department to support 
partnership efforts involving an institution of higher 
education, a National Laboratory, a State or local government, 
a regional transmission organization or independent system 
operator, technology provider, an electric utility or 
cooperative in projects designed to improve the performance or 
efficiency of the grid, including integration of distributed 
generation, microgrids, energy storage, electric vehicles, 
energy efficiency, demand response, intelligent loads, and 
combined heat and power systems.
    Energy-Water Nexus.--The Committee recognizes water and 
energy are critical resources that are reciprocally linked. The 
Energy-Water Nexus crosscut consists of a collaboration of 
agencies, national laboratories, state and local governments, 
utilities, industry, and the science community working 
collectively to address energy and water resource challenges, 
specifically as they relate to energy security and energy 
sector water needs.
    The Committee is aware that since the Energy Policy Act of 
2005 was signed into law, the Government Accountability Office 
issued a series of reports calling for improved information and 
coordination from the Department at the energy-water nexus, 
including improving federal data for power plant water use 
(2009), improving information on water produced during oil and 
gas production (2012), and increasing federal coordination to 
better manage energy and water tradeoffs (2012). In response, 
the Secretary hosted a series of roundtables to plan and 
prioritize leveraging basic science, applied research, policy, 
and outreach to move towards a more resilient and sustainable 
coupled energy-water system. Additionally, the Department 
established a domestic energy and water research investment as 
part of a bilateral collaboration with China.
    The Committee supports areas where innovative technology 
advances could address the challenges faced in the energy-water 
nexus, as highlighted in the 2015 Quadrennial Technology 
Review. The Committee further supports an advanced, integrated 
data, modeling, and analysis platform to improve understanding 
and inform decision-making for a broad range of users and at 
multiple scales, as well as investments in targeted technology 
research opportunities within the system of water-energy flows 
that offer the greatest potential for positive impact.
    Advanced Materials.--The Committee supports the first year 
for the Department-wide crosscut on advanced materials, with 
focuses on lightweight materials and composites and corrosion 
and materials under extremes. The Committee understands in 
previous years, other program offices independently had 
standalone existing materials programs, and supports formal 
coordination across offices through the Materials Working 
Group. This is an unprecedented opportunity to impact the 
materials development cycle from scientific discovery to 
technological innovation and deployment. The Committee directs 
the Department to seek community input to further define the 
highest priority research areas and critical funding 
modalities, as well as provide updates on future identified 
topics.
    Cybersecurity.--The Cybersecurity Crosscut has clearly 
defined objectives to protect the Department's enterprise 
against cybersecurity threats and improve cybersecurity in the 
electric power sector and the oil and natural gas sector. The 
Committee acknowledges the paramount function of protecting the 
Department's enterprise, which entails, among other things; 
cybersecurity programs centralized within the Office of the 
Chief Information Officer; situational awareness and incident 
response; identity credential and access management; protection 
of national laboratories; and oversight of classified and 
unclassified systems.
    The Committee also acknowledges the growing threat to the 
critical infrastructure of the power grid that is primarily 
owned and operated by the private sector. The Department, 
through the Office of Electricity and Energy Delivery, 
facilitates information sharing between the Federal Government 
and the private sector to enhance situational awareness. The 
Department of Energy has worked with the Department of Homeland 
Security, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, 
and industry to develop a set of best practices to assist 
owners and operators of the grid who are making investments in 
cybersecurity. The Department funds research and development 
that aims to build security into energy delivery systems to 
make the future grid more resilient to cyber threats. The 
Committee supports the increasingly important role of the 
Department in carrying out these activities, among many others, 
to help develop the modernized power grid that the public and 
private sectors seek to build in the coming decades.
    The Committee supports the Department's cross-program 
partnership on seismic simulation and recommends funds within 
the National Nuclear Security Administration, the Office of 
Science, Office of Nuclear Energy, and in-kind support provided 
by the Associate Under Secretary for Environment, Health, 
Safety and Security.

                         REGIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

    The Committee urges the Department to utilize investments 
through existing regional capabilities that include industry, 
universities, and State and regional economic development 
assets. The Committee further encourages the national 
laboratories to expand their geographic outreach through people 
and access to specialized equipment and user facilities in 
order to contribute to the success of these regional 
initiatives.

                           Mission Innovation

    The Committee supports the premise and goals set out by 
Mission Innovation: to support innovative clean energy research 
and development to accelerate access to affordable, deployable, 
and transformative technologies. The Committee also supports 
the goal to double Federal clean energy investment over the 
next 5 years. The recommendations in this bill take the first 
step in this effort, while working within the constraints on 
discretionary funding.
    It is imperative this effort have the support and 
commitment of private industry as well, and the Breakthrough 
Energy Coalition has provided that opportunity through a 
separate, but parallel multinational initiative. Government 
investment in research alone is not enough, but by providing 
that public research pipeline, is integral to support a broad 
partnership of private investors and entrepreneurs to take 
risks to support innovative ideas in science and energy. 
Accelerated and aggressive investment in basic research, 
complimented with private sector investment, will provide 
breakthrough technologies to support energy independence, as 
well as drive those technologies to be affordable, resilient, 
and reliable systems.
    The Committee on Appropriations does not address mandatory 
funding proposals requested by the administration.
    The Committee believes the Secretary should focus more 
investment to support the goals of Mission Innovation through 
the national laboratory system, the Office of Science, and 
ARPA-E. This is reflected in the funding provided to Department 
of Energy programs.

     Committee to Review the Effectiveness of the National Energy 
                              Laboratories

    The Committee appreciates the work of the Committee to 
Review the Effectiveness of the National Energy Laboratories 
[CRENEL]. CRENEL made recommendations to rebuild trust between 
the Department and the national laboratories, maintaining the 
focus and quality of the laboratory system, maximizing the 
scientific and economic impact of the laboratories, and 
increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of laboratory 
operations. The Committee urges the Secretary to take these 
recommendations seriously, particularly those regarding 
repairing the relationship between the Department and the 
national laboratories by increasing accountability and 
transparency and reducing transactional oversight. The 
Committee directs the Secretary to submit a report to the 
Senate and House Committees on Appropriations within 180 days 
of enactment on the progress made in implementing those CRENEL 
recommendations directed to the Department.

                        Commonly Recycled Paper

    The Secretary shall not expend funds for projects that 
knowingly use as a feedstock commonly recycled paper that is 
segregated from municipal solid waste or collected as part of a 
collection system that commingles commonly recycled paper with 
other solid waste at any point from the time of collection 
through materials recovery.

                         Social Cost of Carbon

    The Secretary should not promulgate any regulations in 
fiscal year 2017 using the May 2013 estimates for the social 
cost of carbon until a new working group is convened. The 
working group should include the relevant agencies and affected 
stakeholders, re-examine the social cost of carbon using the 
best available science, and revise the estimate using an 
accurate discount rate and domestic estimate in accordance with 
Executive Order 12866 and OMB Circular A-4. To increase 
transparency, the working group should solicit public comments 
prior to finalizing any updates.

                              5 Year Plan

    The Secretary is required by section 7279-a of title 42 
U.S.C., enacted by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, 
to include in the Department's annual budget request proposed 
funding levels for the request year and 4 subsequent years, at 
a level of detail commensurate with the current budget 
justification documents. This requirement is to ensure that the 
Secretary is proposing a current budget that takes into account 
realistic budget constraints in future years, and that Congress 
has full visibility into the future implications of current 
budget decisions across the Department's energy programs.
    Unfortunately, the Secretary has chosen not to comply by 
omitting any meaningful 5-year budgeting from its four budget 
requests since enactment of this legal requirement. The 
Committee directs the Secretary to submit a report, not later 
than September 30, 2017, to the Committees on Appropriations of 
both the House of Representatives and Senate, on the plan to 
comply with section 7279a of title 42 in its fiscal year 2018 
budget request. Failure to provide this report may result in 
more directive measures to ensure the Secretary complies with 
the law and engages in practices that safeguard taxpayer 
dollars.

                 Timely Apportionment of Appropriations

    The Committee understands delays in the apportionment of 
appropriated budget authority from the Office of Management 
Budget to the Department are leading to program and project 
management inefficiencies both at Department headquarters and 
at the national laboratories. Monthly apportionments slow and 
delay procurements, increase administrative costs for the 
program and support staff allocating the funding, and lead to 
uncertainty and disruption of annual planning. Once the 
appropriation is signed into law, the Committee expects the 
budget authority to be apportioned in a reasonable, timely 
manner to maximize the efficient use of taxpayer dollars in 
executing the Department's mission.

              LABORATORY DIRECTED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee directs the Department to ensure that 
laboratory operating contractors do not allocate costs of 
general and administrative overhead to laboratory directed 
research and development.

will enable these technologies to compete in the marketplace 
without the need for subsidies. The Committee supports research 
using high-performance computing, modeling and simulation, 
including the Atmosphere to Electrons initiative program, 
reliability, and grid integration efforts. Further, the 
Department is urged to give priority to stewarding the assets 
and optimizing the operations of the Department-owned wind 
research and testing facilities and provides no less than 
$30,000,000 for the National Wind Technology Center.
    No additional funding is recommended for Wind Energy.

                              WATER POWER

    The Committee recommends $84,000,000 for Water Power.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends 
$25,000,000 for conventional hydropower and pumped storage 
activities, including up to $3,900,000 for the purposes of 
section 242 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-
58).
    Of the amount provided, $3,000,000 shall be used for a 
thorough techno-economic analysis of the value of pumped 
storage hydro at two sites with high-levels of intermittent 
renewable energy generation in the United States to be 
determined by the Secretary of Energy, and building off the 
Department of Energy's pumped storage hydro work initiated in 
fiscal year 2016. The techno-economic analysis shall include 
sub-hourly economic analysis and accounting of the full range 
of market-based revenue streams, regional cost savings and 
environmental benefits pumped storage hydropower provides both 
as a generation and transmission asset. Funding shall also be 
provided for a National Association of Regulatory Utility 
Commissioners committee to advise the Department's work in the 
area of pumped hydro storage. Funding may also be used for 
research and analysis that will improve the pumped storage 
industry more broadly, building off the Department of Energy's 
existing pumped storage hydro work initiated in fiscal year 
2016.
    Marine and Hydrokinetic Technology Research, Development, 
and Deployment.--The Committee recommends $59,000,000 for 
marine and hydrokinetic technology research, development, and 
deployment activities. The Committee rejects the Department's 
request to limit future competitive solicitations only to 
projects that would at least double the energy capture per unit 
of structural cost of wave energy convertor systems. Rather, 
selected projects should maintain a robust technology support 
pipeline from both advanced and low technology readiness level 
marine energy conversion systems and components. Therefore, the 
Committee recommends $25,000,000 for a balanced portfolio of 
competitive solicitations to support industry-led research, 
development, and demonstrations of wave and current (ocean,

Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, $5,000,000 is 
included in addition to funds for solid-state lighting research 
and development.
    The Committee is concerned with the lack of funding for 
natural gas research and development within the Buildings 
Technology Program. Within available funds, the Committee 
provides $10,000,000 for research and development for energy 
efficiency efforts related to the direct use of natural gas in 
residential applications, including gas heat pump heating and 
water heating, on-site combine heat and power, and natural gas 
appliance venting.
    The Committee recommends $54,000,000 for Equipment and 
Buildings Standards.

                   FEDERAL ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

    The Committee encourages the Secretary of Energy, in 
consultation with the Department of Defense, to create a pilot 
program that would determine the potential for the use of 
Energy Savings Performance Contracts to reduce energy 
consumption and provide energy cost savings in non-building 
applications.

              WEATHERIZATION AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2016....................................    $206,000,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................     262,300,000
Committee recommendation................................     206,000,000

    The Committee recommends $206,000,000 for Electricity 
Delivery and Energy Reliability, a decrease of $56,300,000 from 
the budget request. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends $28,500,000 for program direction. The Committee 
directs the Secretary to provide regular updates of reported 
data on the status of energy infrastructure and concerns 
impacting the energy sector as they become available.
    The modernization of the electrical grid is critical to 
ensuring national security, sustaining our Nation's economic 
growth, and maintaining our way of life. The electrical grid is 
a complex system, owned and operated by numerous regulated and 
non-regulated private and public entities. To maximize the 
value of taxpayer investment in the grid modernization 
strategy, the Committee suggests that the Secretary's 
initiatives be fairly and equitably competed to ensure the best 
ideas, technologies, and teams are brought together to develop 
the best solutions for the electric grid of the future.
    To ensure our energy systems are safe, secure, reliable, 
sustainable, and cost-effective, the Committee supports a 
strategy that involves extensive partnerships between 
government, academia, and industry to undertake the transition 
and modernization of the electrical grid to address our major 
energy issues. The Committee understands an independent, third-
party assessment of the United States' capabilities to perform 
multi-megawatt testing that meets the goals supporting the Grid 
Modernization Multi-Year Program Plan is currently ongoing, per 
direction in the fiscal year 2016 report. Following the 
completion of the assessment and if the Secretary deems 
appropriate, the Committee urges the Secretary to establish 
through a competitive bid process, a national user center 
capable of operating in the multi-megawatt range, above 2 MW, 
to support the Nation's grid modernization efforts to advance 
utility scale technologies like energy storage. World-class 
testing facilities that can replicate real world conditions, 
without risks to the existing grid, are needed at the 
residential, commercial, and distribution level to test and 
validate these innovations. The Committee is aware the 
Secretary has invested in testing facilities of 2 MW and below, 
and facilities are needed at the multi-megawatt level above 2 
MW for technologies at the distribution level.

               CLEAN ENERGY TRANSMISSION AND RELIABILITY

    The Committee recommends $36,000,000 for Clean Energy 
Transmission and Reliability.
    The Committee believes that the integration of distributed 
and intermittent renewable sources of generation into existing 
infrastructure and transmission and distribution networks is 
critical to the effective deployment of clean energy sources. 
Developing the analytical and modeling tools in collaboration 
with utilities, grid operators, and universities will lay the 
foundation for risk assessment.

                  SMART GRID RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee recommends $35,000,000 for Smart Grid 
Research and Development.
    Within available funding, $5,000,000 is recommended for 
development of advanced, secure, low-cost sensors that measure, 
analyze, predict, and control the future grid during steady 
state and under extreme conditions.
    The Committee supports the promotion of regional 
demonstrations of new, utility-led, residential Connected 
Communities advancing smart grid systems.
    The Committee recognizes the opportunities presented by the 
application, integration, and investment in grid technologies 
across all sectors of the economy. The Committee encourages the 
Secretary to ensure that efforts in these areas are coordinated 
and focused on the evolution to the grid of the future.
    The Committee recommends that funds provided for the 
Advanced Grid Integration Division should focus on identifying 
and addressing technical and regulatory barriers impeding grid 
integration of distributed energy systems to reduce energy 
costs and improve the resiliency and reliability of the 
electric grid.

               CYBER SECURITY FOR ENERGY DELIVERY SYSTEMS

    The Committee recommends $50,500,000 for Cyber Security for 
Energy Delivery Systems.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends not less 
than $5,000,000 to develop cyber and cyber-physical solutions 
for advanced control concepts for distribution and municipal 
utility companies. The potential threat posed by cyber security 
attacks on our critical energy infrastructure cannot be 
overemphasized and must be appropriately guarded against.

                             ENERGY STORAGE

    The Committee recommends $29,500,000 for Energy Storage.
    Within available funds, the Committee supports developing 
an operational energy storage test facility capable of 
performance-driven data in a utility environment.
    For energy storage systems to be supported and accepted by 
industry, they must be validated and demonstrated to be safe 
and reliable. The Committee is aware the utility sector is 
concerned there is a disincentive for utilities to deploy 
battery storage on a utility scale, as these technologies are 
largely untested, and companies are risk-adverse to providing 
access to their systems. In addition, regulated utilities have 
difficulty convincing regulators that assets will live out 
their expected life. Thus, the Committee directs the Department 
to submit a report to the Committee, no later than 90 days 
after enactment, detailing how investments in these 
demonstrations address these concerns and will lead to broader 
adoption and acceptance by the utility sector of commercial 
scale energy storage in the U.S. In addition, the Committee 
directs the Department to submit within this report, how 
existing programs can be used to mitigate challenges for 
deployment of utility scale projects by regulated utilities.
    Offshore wind has tremendous capacity to generate 
electricity. Ensuring that the power generated can be harnessed 
and reserved for use during periods of peak demand would extend 
the reach of this renewable resource. The Committee encourages 
the Department to partner with leaders in the energy storage 
industry to establish a pilot project in order to demonstrate 
how energy storage technology can reserve electricity generated 
offshore for use in meeting peak demand.
    The Committee encourages the Secretary to consider 
expanding research and development partnerships related to the 
development and deployment of energy storage, with stakeholders 
in diverse geographic regions with unique market dynamics and 
policy challenges that can help to inform nationwide efforts to 
improve grid resiliency, reliability, and security, empower 
consumers, and increase integration of a broad range of 
generation sources.
    Within available funding, the Committee encourages the 
Department to further the development and demonstration of non-
battery advanced storage components, including compressed air 
energy storage development and demonstration to enable 
efficiency improvements for utility-scale, bulk energy storage 
solutions.

             TRANSFORMER RESILIENCE AND ADVANCED COMPONENTS

    The Committee recommends $8,500,000 for Transformer 
Resilience and Advanced Components. Within available funds, the 
Committee directs the Secretary to support research and 
development on low-cost, power flow control devices, including 
both solid state and hybrid concepts that use power electronics 
to control electromagnetic devices and enable improved 
controllability, flexibility, and resiliency.

                     NATIONAL ELECTRICITY DELIVERY

    The Committee recommends $7,500,000 for National 
Electricity Delivery.

             INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY AND ENERGY RESTORATION

    The Committee recommends $10,500,000 for Infrastructure 
Security and Energy Restoration.
    The Committee supports further development of energy sector 
situational awareness capabilities, and the work of Eagle-I, 
the Federal Government's situational awareness tool for 
national power outages. The Committee encourages the Department 
to further illustrate how to benefit from increased access to 
more varied sources of data.
    The Committee also encourages the Department to continue to 
develop implementation strategies and analysis with industry to 
address potential impacts of geomagnetic disturbances and 
electromagnetic pulse threats to the electric grid.
    The Committee is supportive of proposed regional and State 
activities to improve capabilities to characterize energy 
sector supply disruptions, communication among local, State, 
regional, Federal, and industry partners, and the 
identification of gaps for use in energy planning and emergency 
response training programs. The Committee encourages the 
Department to support these efforts within Infrastructure 
Security and Energy Restoration.

                             Nuclear Energy

Appropriations, 2016....................................    $986,161,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................     993,896,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,057,903,000

    The Committee recommends $1,057,903,000 for Nuclear Energy, 
an increase of $64,007,000 from the budget request. The 
Committee's recommendation for nuclear power prioritizes 
funding for programs, projects and activities that will ensure 
a strong future for nuclear power in the United States.
    Nuclear power provides more than 20 percent of our Nation's 
electricity and more than 60 percent of our emissions-free 
electricity. Electricity generation from our Nation's 99 
operating nuclear power plants is critical to our national 
security, economy, and way of life.
    The most cost-effective way for the United States to 
maintain low-cost, carbon-free electricity is to safely extend 
the lives of our Nation's existing nuclear reactors from 60 to 
80 years. The Committee supports the Department's efforts to 
conduct high-priority research and development in this area and 
its cooperation with industry, but also recognizes that some 
operating reactors will not be extended, while others have 
already shut down. When power plants shut down, the social and 
economic impacts to surrounding communities can be significant. 
Communities often lack information and resources to assist with 
the economic transition. The Committee is aware that the 
Department is planning to convene a summit to address the early 
closure of nuclear power plants later this spring. While the 
summit will focus on stopping early plant closures, the 
Committee urges the Secretary to also address the impact of 
plants that have already shut down on communities, and ways the 
communities can mitigate the impacts.
    Within available funds, $600,000 is provided for the cross-
program partnership on seismic simulation.

                        Research and Development


                     INTEGRATED UNIVERSITY PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the Integrated 
University Program, $5,000,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee notes the administration repeatedly attempts to 
defund this program, despite continued success in developing 
highly qualified nuclear specialists to meet national needs.

           SMALL MODULAR REACTOR LICENSING TECHNICAL SUPPORT

    The Committee recommends $95,000,000 for Small Modular 
Reactor Licensing Technical Support, $5,400,000 above the 
request. Within this amount, $23,000,000 shall be for the first 
award for design certification application development, siting 
preparation, and combined operating license application 
development. Further, $72,000,000 shall be for the second 
awardee for design certification application development, 
siting preparation, and combined operating license application 
development. Small modular reactors have the potential to 
provide reliable electricity generation to replace retiring 
fossil plants and meet domestic clean power needs. The 
Committee directs the Department to submit a report evaluating 
and prioritizing government and private sector actions needed 
for development and deployment of small modular reactors. The 
report should evaluate completion of design and licensing of 
small modular reactors, and licensing of deployment sites for 
small modular reactors. The report should include advanced 
manufacturing and supply chain development opportunities. The 
report should also evaluate public and private sector 
facilities that could be powered by small modular reactors.

       REACTOR CONCEPTS RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND DEMONSTRATION

    The Committee recommends $129,760,000 for Reactor Concepts 
Research, Development, and Demonstration. The Committee directs 
the Nuclear Energy Program to focus funding for Reactor 
Concepts Research, Development and Demonstration, which 
includes funding for Advanced SMRs and Advanced Reactor 
Concepts, on technologies that show clear potential to be 
safer, less waste producing, more cost competitive, and more 
proliferation-resistant than existing nuclear power 
technologies. Within available amounts, the Committee 
recommends up to $18,000,000 for the second year of the 
advanced reactor concepts program and $3,000,000 for testing 
and development of dynamic convection technology. The dynamic 
convection technology work should include a business case 
analysis that addresses cost, schedule, licensing, and other 
risks of implementation in a commercial nuclear plant.
    Light Water Reactor Sustainability.--Within available 
funds, the Committee recommends $35,260,000. The most cost 
effective way for the United States to maintain low-cost, 
carbon-free electricity is to safely extend the lives of our 
Nation's existing nuclear reactors from 60 to 80 years. 
Therefore, the Committee recommends additional funding for this 
activity as a priority. The Committee directs the Secretary to 
use funding in this activity to continue research and 
development work on the technical basis for subsequent license 
renewal. The Secretary should focus funding in this program on 
materials aging and degradation, advanced instrumentation and 
control technologies, and component aging modeling and 
simulation. The Secretary shall also coordinate with industry 
to determine other areas of high-priority research and 
development in this area.

                  FUEL CYCLE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee recommends $219,730,000 for Fuel Cycle 
Research and Development. No Defense function funds are 
provided.
    The Committee continues to strongly support the 
recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's 
Nuclear Future and believes that near-term action is needed to 
address this important national issue, and recommends 
$61,040,000 for Integrated Waste Management System activities. 
Funding should be used to advance plans to consolidate spent 
nuclear fuel from around the United States to an interim 
central storage facility(s), with priority given to shutdown 
reactors, and to accelerate the development of a transportation 
capability to move the commercial spent fuel from its current 
storage locations.
    The Committee supports the Department's efforts develop a 
process for consent-based siting by engaging State, local, and 
tribal government entities on the possible conditions under 
which an interim storage facility could be sited within their 
jurisdictions. Further, the Committee supports ongoing 
coordination between the Department and the Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission to clarify the regulatory framework under which 
transportation and centralized interim storage of spent fuel 
could occur. However, The Committee directs the Department to 
take a more active role in future consent-based siting 
processes for spent nuclear fuel or any other high level waste 
than it has demonstrated in the deep borehole demonstration 
project in North Dakota. The Department cannot avoid its 
responsibilities of working with State and local communities by 
hiring a contractor to oversee and execute the work. The 
Secretary is encouraged to ensure lessons learned from the 
demonstration project in North Dakota are incorporated into its 
plan to develop a process for future consent-based siting.
    Research and development activities on behavior of spent 
fuel in long-term storage, under transportation conditions, and 
in various geologic media will continue to be important to 
developing a new solution to the waste problem. Within the 
amounts recommended for used nuclear fuel disposition, 
$14,250,000 shall be for continuance of these activities. 
Priority should be placed on the ongoing study of the 
performance of high-burnup fuel in dry storage and on the 
potential for direct disposal of existing spent fuel dry 
storage canister technologies.
    The Committee recommends $69,390,000 for the Advanced Fuels 
program. The Department is directed to continue implementation 
of the accident tolerant fuels development program, the goal of 
which remains development of accident tolerant nuclear fuels 
leading to commercial reactor fuel assembly testing by 2022. 
The Secretary is directed to share with the Committee the 
outcome of the consultation required in fiscal year 2016 with 
industry, universities and other interested organizations on a 
commercialization roadmap for these technologies, including new 
ceramic cladding material. While the benefit of incremental 
improvements to existing commercially available fuels is 
acknowledged, there is concern that the Department's ongoing 
activities on accident tolerant fuels will not ultimately lead 
to meaningful reductions in the consequences of unexpected 
severe accidents in nuclear power plants. Therefore, not less 
than $19,300,000 is provided to initiate Phase 2 of the 
industry-led, appropriately cost-shared basic research program 
on Accident Tolerant Fuels, and $3,000,000 is provided for 
continuation of the previously competitively awarded Small 
Business projects to develop ceramic cladding for Accident 
Tolerant Fuels.

                  NUCLEAR ENERGY ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES

    The Committee recommends $83,925,000 for Nuclear Energy 
Enabling Technologies. The Committee recommends $24,300,000 for 
the Energy Innovation Hub for Modeling and Simulation.

                             Infrastructure


                   RADIOLOGICAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

Budget estimate, 2017...................................     360,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     632,000,000

    The Committee recommends $632,000,000 for Fossil Energy 
Research and Development, an increase of $272,000,000 above the 
budget request. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends $60,000,000 for program direction. The Committee 
does not adopt the proposed changes to the budget structure for 
Fossil Energy Research and Development.
    The Committee recognizes that this program supports vital 
research on clean coal technologies, and has accordingly 
provided significant funds above the budget request to 
accelerate these activities. The Committee notes that clean 
coal technology affords our Nation the ability to respond to 
environmental challenges by improving the performance of our 
coal-based electricity fleet, while also allowing for continued 
utilization of abundant and affordable U.S. coal.
    Fossil fuels support the activities of a modern economy, 
and will continue to supply our Nation's energy needs for the 
foreseeable future. Approximately 67 percent of the electricity 
generated in the United States is from coal, natural gas, and 
petroleum, and fossil fuel generation is and will continue 
expanding across the world. The Committee notes that the 
Department should allocate sufficient resources to support 
fossil energy research, development, and demonstrations to 
improve both existing technologies and develop the next 
generation of clean, affordable, and safe systems.
    The Committee is aware of Department's participation within 
the Propulsion Instrumentation Working Group. Innovative 
research is underway on dynamic sensors for turbine engines, 
including for fossil-fuel fired power plants, which have the 
potential to increase safety and fuel efficiency and decrease 
costs. The Committee encourages the Department to continue to 
support innovative research being carried out by the national 
labs and universities on engine sensor technology, with the 
goal of improving performance, safety, and fuel efficiency.
    The Committee includes funding levels for the Department of 
Energy's National Carbon Capture Center consistent with the 
budget request. The Committee continues to encourage the 
Department to establish university partnerships to support 
ongoing fossil energy programs, to promote broader research 
into CCS technologies, and to expand its technology transfer 
efforts. The Department has previously funded several 
university-based CCS projects and is encouraged to build on an 
established research base to support ongoing research and to 
address the wider implementation of CCS technologies.

                      COAL, CCS AND POWER SYSTEMS

    The Committee recommends $377,000,000 for CCS and Power 
Systems.
    The Committee recommends $30,000,000 to support a new 
solicitation for two awards for post-combustion carbon capture 
retrofits to existing coal plants greater than 350 MWe.
    Carbon Capture.--Within the recommendation, $101,000,000 is 
for Carbon Capture to support the R&D and scale-up of 2nd 
generation and transformational technologies for capturing 
CO2 from new and existing industrial and power-
producing plants.
    Carbon Storage.--Within the recommendation, $106,000,000 is 
for Carbon Storage. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends $10,000,000 for Carbon Use and Reuse to continue 
research and development activities to support valuable and 
innovative uses for carbon. The Committee recognizes that 
finding new commercial uses for captured carbon could 
significantly offset the costs of capturing and sequestering 
carbon from our Nation's coal-fired power plants. The Committee 
encourages the Secretary to use its existing authorities to 
fund activities that promote the reuse of captured carbon from 
coal and other sources in the production of fuels and other 
products. The Committee is concerned that the Office of Fossil 
Energy has not prioritized non-enhanced oil recovery 
utilization of carbon dioxide since 2010. The Committee 
believes the potential for carbon dioxide utilization 
technologies to become economically viable has improved in 
recent years and these technologies should receive renewed 
attention from the Office of Fossil Energy. The Committee 
encourages the Office of Fossil Energy to support other carbon 
dioxide utilization technologies in addition to enhanced oil 
recovery, including using carbon dioxide to produce algae. The 
Committee further encourages the Office of Fossil Energy to 
collaborate with the Bioenergy Technologies program within the 
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to support 
projects that utilize carbon dioxide in the production of 
algae.
    Advanced Energy Systems.--Within the recommendation, 
$105,000,000 is for Advanced Energy Systems, which supports 
improving the efficiency of coal-based power systems, enabling 
affordable CO2 capture, increasing plant 
availability, and maintaining the highest environmental 
standards. The Committee supports and encourages the Secretary 
to fund research and development of Gasification Systems, which 
focuses on technology developments to reduce the cost of coal 
gasification and facilitates co-feeding of coal with biomass or 
waste; Advanced Combustion Systems, which focuses on the 
development of oxy-combustion and chemical looping processes 
that are applicable to new and existing power plants; Coal and 
Coal-Biomass to Liquids, which the Secretary did not include in 
its budget request, and Solid Oxide Fuel Cells, which focuses 
on research and development to enable efficient, cost-effective 
electricity generation from coal and natural gas with near-zero 
atmospheric emissions of CO2 and pollutants, as well 
as minimal water use in central power generation applications 
that can be integrated with carbon capture and storage. The 
Committee recommends $30,000,000 for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. 
The Committee encourages the Secretary to promote and assist in 
the research and development of new higher efficiency gas 
turbines used in power generation systems in order to upgrade 
and increase the resiliency of the Nation's electrical grid 
system, while reducing the cost of electricity and emissions. 
This includes awarding grants and contract proposals from 
industry, small businesses, universities and other appropriate 
parties. The Committee encourages the Department to support a 
pilot program to advance the application of solid state 
reforming technology to commercial success.

                        NATURAL GAS TECHNOLOGIES

    The Committee recommends $46,000,000 for Natural Gas 
Technologies.
    Risk-Based Data Management System.--Within available funds, 
the Committee recommends $5,200,000 to continue the Risk Based 
Data Management System [RBDMS] and supports including water 
tracking in pre-and post-drilling applications where required 
by States. The Committee also directs the Department to provide 
these funds to integrate FracFocus and RBDMS for improved 
public access to State oil and gas related data, as well as for 
State regulatory agencies to support electronic permitting for 
operators, eForms for improved processing time for new permits, 
operator training from the improved FracFocus 3.0, and 
additional reports. The Committee supports the continued 
efforts to provide public transparency, while protecting 
proprietary information.
    Methane Hydrate Activities.--The Committee recommends 
$19,800,000 for methane hydrates, and notes that the request 
again does not include funding for methane hydrate research on 
the methods for producing methane hydrates, only funding for a 
fuel supply impact mitigation subprogram that will conduct 
investigations to confirm the nature and regional context of 
gas hydrate deposits in the Gulf of Mexico in conjunction with 
the U.S. Geological Survey. The Committee rejects the 
Secretary's approach to limit spending to such research and 
encourages the Secretary to perform a long-term methane 
hydrates production test in the Arctic, as proposed in the 
Methane Hydrate Advisory Committee's May 21, 2014 
recommendations to the Secretary.
    The Committee encourages coordination with industry and 
U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous 
Materials Safety Administration on leak detection technology 
development. The Committee remains supportive of investment in 
smart pipeline sensors and controls, internal pipeline 
inspection and repair, and composite and advanced material 
science technologies. The Committee encourages the Secretary to 
consider acoustic monitoring that can use ultrasonic sensors to 
detect leaks based on changes in background noise patterns to 
determine if acoustic sensors will respond to the sound 
generated by escaping gas at ultrasonic frequencies.
    Environmentally Prudent Development.--The Committee 
recommends $9,000,000 for Environmentally Prudent Development 
subprogram.
    Emissions Mitigations from Midstream Infrastructure.--The 
Committee recommends $7,000,000 for Emissions Mitigation from 
Midstream Infrastructure subprogram.
    Emissions Quantification from Natural Gas Infrastructure.--
The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for Emissions 
Quantification from Natural Gas Infrastructure research 
subprogram.

               UNCONVENTIONAL FOSSIL ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES

    The Committee recommends $23,245,000 for Unconventional 
Fossil Energy Technologies. The Secretary did not include any 
funding in the fiscal year 2017 budget request, and the 
Committee notes the importance of providing research support 
that will assure sustainable, reliable, affordable, and 
environmentally sound supplies of domestic unconventional 
fossil energy resources.
    Prior Federal and private investment in research led to the 
current shale gas revolution, and continued research and 
development is vital for the environmentally responsible 
development of this resource. Within available funds, the 
Committee directs the Department to support additional research 
efforts, with priority given to continue the successful work at 
the existing competitively awarded Unconventional Field Test 
Sites.
    The Secretary is encouraged to fund high-priority research, 
development, and deployment activities for unconventional oil, 
gas, and coal resources, including oil shale, as outlined in 
the September 2011 ``Domestic Unconventional Fossil Energy 
Resource Opportunities and Technology Applications'' report.
    The Committee expects Tasks 1-4 of the joint Department of 
Energy and Department of Transportation crude oil 
characterization study to be complete and formalized by the end 
of calendar year 2017. Both DOE and DOT shall use allocated 
resources to meet funding obligations to complete the study.
    Within available funds, the Committee encourages the 
Secretary to support efforts to increase production of 
unconventional fossil fuels through advanced technology and 
modeling, including optimizing high resolution and time-lapse 
geophysical methods for improved resource detection and better 
rock characterization at the micro- and nano-scale. The 
Committee also encourages the Secretary to examine the 
feasibility of utilizing geothermal energy from produced fluids 
for in-field energy requirements.

                 NATIONAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGY LABORATORY

    Fossil energy is the backbone of the United States' energy 
future, and the National Energy Technology Laboratory [NETL] 
focuses on this critical national priority. The Committee 
supports NETL's mission to discover, develop, and deploy new 
technologies to support a strong domestic fossil energy path.
    The Committee is supportive of the reorganization and 
budget restructuring of NETL, as it increases consistency with 
other National Laboratories. The new structure highlighting 
research and operations, as well as infrastructure funding 
requirements, reflects increased transparency in how funds are 
utilized, promoting enhanced visibility and oversight into cost 
drivers and more efficient resource allocation decisions.
    Within NETL Infrastructure, the Committee directs the 
Department to prioritize funds to provide site-wide upgrades 
for safety, avoid an increase in deferred maintenance, and 
provide for an update and refresh of a subset of the processing 
units in the Joule high performance computer to upgrade the 
processing speed to five PFLOPS, a tenfold increase, financed 
through a 3-year lease. The Committee is aware that high 
performance computing is an essential element of mission-
relevant research, development, and demonstration, and is 
supportive of maintaining a world-class supercomputer to enable 
key energy research.

                 Naval Petroleum and Oil Shale Reserves

Appropriations, 2016....................................     $17,500,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................      14,950,000
Committee recommendation................................      14,950,000

    The Committee recommends $14,950,000 for Naval Petroleum 
and Oil Shale Reserves, the same as the budget request.

                      Strategic Petroleum Reserve

Appropriations, 2016....................................    $212,000,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................     257,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     200,000,000

    The Committee recommends $200,000,000 for the Strategic 
Petroleum Reserve, a decrease of $57,000,000 from the budget 
request.
    The Committee recognizes the work the Secretary is 
undertaking to conduct a long-term strategic review of the 
Strategic Petroleum Reserve. The Committee looks forward to the 
results of the review, and the Secretary's recommendations on 
future investments in infrastructure and associated 
maintenance.
    The Committee understands the importance of the Major 
Maintenance Projects and preventive/corrective maintenance 
activities needed at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve storage 
facilities and related facilities, and encourages the 
Department, when carrying out these maintenance and other 
construction projects to use as much American-made iron, steel, 
and other manufactured goods as possible. American 
manufacturers are most suited, for national and economic 
security reasons, to supply the materials for these critical 
infrastructure improvements at the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

                   Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve

Appropriations, 2016....................................      $7,600,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................       6,500,000
Committee recommendation................................       6,500,000

    The Committee recommends $6,500,000 for the Northeast Home 
Heating Oil Reserve, the same as the request.

                   Energy Information Administration

Appropriations, 2016....................................    $122,000,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................     131,125,000
Committee recommendation................................     122,000,000

    The Committee recommends $122,000,000 for the Energy 
Information Administration [EIA], a decrease of $9,125,000 from 
the budget request.
    The Committee supports the EIA's efforts to expand its 
monthly State-level estimates of generation and capacity of 
small-scale distributed generation systems.
    The Committee is aware that EIA has not kept pace with 
State-run databases and interfaces to provide near real-time 
statistics on production of oil and natural gas and well 
integrity. The EIA has initiated work with State agencies to 
explore connecting State databases to create a national gateway 
that would allow the public to easily access information in a 
user-friendly manner. Accurate and accessible information about 
oil and gas production and well integrity is a national 
imperative. A National Oil and Gas Gateway that works in 
concert with State-run databases is an essential component for 
achieving this important objective. Within available funds, the 
Committee recommends $1,500,000 for the creation that Gateway.
    The Committee recognizes the importance of building energy 
information and the opportunity for better data collection 
presented by new technologies. The Secretary is encouraged to 
upgrade the Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Surveys to 
a real-time data collection system with rapid reporting of 
results, without compromising statistical validity or data 
security.

                   Non-Defense Environmental Cleanup

Appropriations, 2016....................................    $255,000,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................     218,400,000
Committee recommendation................................     255,000,000

    The Committee recommends $255,000,000 for Non-Defense 
Environmental Cleanup, an increase of $36,600,000 from the 
budget request.
    Small Sites.--The Committee recommends $85,043,000 for 
Small Sites. Within the available funds, the Committee 
recommends $6,000,000 to complete the design and initiate 
construction of facilities pursuant to the agreement reached in 
2012 between the Department of Energy, the Advisory Council on 
Historic Preservation, and State and local governments to 
complete the demolition of K-25 in exchange for preserving the 
historic contributions made by the K-25 site to the Manhattan 
Project. Last year, the Committee directed the Secretary to 
request appropriate funding to satisfy the requirements of the 
National Historic Preservation Act in future budget requests, 
including the regulatory requirements agreed to by the 
Department of Energy, the Advisory Council on Historic 
Preservation, and State and local governments regarding the K-
25 site. The Manhattan Project National Historical Park tells 
an important story in our Nation's history: the development and 
production of the technology and materials necessary to create 
the world's first atomic bomb. The new Park has locations in 
Hanford, Washington, Los Alamos, New Mexico, and Oak Ridge, 
Tennessee. It is administered and operated by the National Park 
Service in conjunction with the Department of Energy, which is 
working towards cleanup of these nuclear waste sites. The 
Committee directs the Department of Energy to submit an 
implementation plan to Committees on Appropriations of the 
House and the Senate no later than 180 after enactment of this 
act that details infrastructure needs, transition activities, 
schedule, and funding requirements to make these sites fully 
available to the public under the auspices of the National Park 
Service.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends $9,200,000 
to continue to deactivate, decommission, and demolish 
facilities at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
    The budget request did not include funding for the 
decommissioning and decontamination of the Southwest 
Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor, despite that facility being 
constructed for, and used by, the Atomic Energy Commission. 
Within available funds, the Committee recommends $16,600,000 
for the decommissioning and decontamination of the Southwest 
Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor. Combined with previously 
provided funding, this amount is sufficient to complete the 
decommissioning and decontamination of the site, and the 
Department will not provide any additional funding for this 
purpose.

      Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund

Appropriations, 2016....................................    $673,749,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................................
Committee recommendation................................     717,741,000

    The Committee recommends $717,741,000 for Uranium 
Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning [UED&D] 
activities, an increase of $717,741,000 from the budget 
request.
    The Committee recommendation includes $194,673,000 for East 
Tennessee Technology Park [ETTP], $205,530,000 for Paducah, and 
$264,585,000 for Portsmouth. Within available funds for ETTP, 
the Committee recommendation includes funding for preparation 
and demolition of the buildings in the K-1200 Complex. These 
funding levels are adequate to maintain current manpower levels 
for decontamination and disposal work at all three sites based 
on current forecasts. The Department is directed to use any 
unexpended funds at the respective sites, if necessary, to 
maintain current manpower levels.
    The Committee directs the Department to develop long-term 
plans to adequately clean up sites exclusively through the 
annual appropriations process.
    The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for the Title X 
Uranium and Thorium Reimbursement Program. Title X of the 
Energy Policy Act of 1992 authorizes the Secretary to reimburse 
eligible licensees for the Federal Government's share of the 
cost associated with cleaning up former uranium and thorium 
processing sites across the country. The Committee continues to 
be concerned about the accumulating balances and liabilities 
owed to private licensees for the Department's failure to 
address the Federal Government's cost share. Fulfilling the 
obligation to fully reimburse licensees is important to the 
health and safety of the impacted communities. Moving forward, 
the Committee expects the Secretary to request sufficient 
resources within its annual budget request to reimburse 
licensees for approved claim balances.
    The budget request included no discretionary funding for 
Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning [UED&D] 
activities. Instead, the Department recommended using mandatory 
funding that is not authorized for these activities. The 
Committee is concerned that such irresponsible budgeting 
practices demonstrate the Department's lack of commitment to 
the cleanup of the former enrichment sites in Kentucky, 
Tennessee and Ohio. Going forward, the Department is directed 
to request discretionary funding for this work unless they have 
already obtained authorization for use of mandatory funds.

                                Science

Appropriations, 2016....................................  $5,350,200,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................   5,572,069,000
Committee recommendation................................   5,400,000,000

    The Committee recommends $5,400,000,000 for Science, a 
decrease of $172,069,000 from the budget request.

directing up to $2,000,000 to support the Department's 
Distinguished Scientist Program, as authorized in section 5011 
of Public Law 110-69 to promote scientific and academic 
excellence through collaborations between institutions of 
higher education and National laboratories to be funded from 
across all Office of Science programs.
    Brain Research through Advancing Innovative 
Neurotechnologies [BRAIN] Initiative.--The Committee is aware 
of the Department's partnership with the National Institutes of 
Health [NIH] and coordination with the interagency BRAIN 
initiative. The Committee supports the Department's 
contributions to the BRAIN initiative through the development 
of imaging and sensing tools and technologies at x-ray light 
sources and nanoscale research centers, as well as 
computational expertise, high performance computing, and data 
management. This complementary, multi-agency initiative is 
encouraged to take advantage of existing investments and 
infrastructure while engaging closely with the neuroscience 
community to accelerate our understanding of the brain. In 
addition, the Committee also encourages and supports the use of 
national laboratory system's user facilities for the National 
Cancer Moonshot Initiative.

                 ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING RESEARCH

    The Committee recommends $656,180,000 for Advanced 
Scientific Computing Research. The Committee believes its 
recommendation would allow the Department to develop and 
maintain world-class computing and network facilities for 
science and deliver the necessary research in applied 
mathematics, computer science, and advanced networking to 
support the Department's missions.
    The Committee is supportive of the coordinated Federal 
strategy in high performance computing research, development, 
and deployment through the National Strategic Computing 
Initiative. The Committee encourages further coordination 
between the Office of Science and National Nuclear Security 
Administration to support the Exascale Computing Initiative in 
development of a long range plan. The Committee strongly 
supports the Initiative, which is critical to maintaining our 
Nation's global competitiveness and ensuring American 
technology outpaces rivals like China to support our national 
security. Exascale computers will be capable of a hundred-fold 
increase in sustained performance over today's computing 
capabilities. The Initiative is also a critical tool to 
advancing energy technologies. In fiscal year 2017, the ASCR 
portion of the Exascale Initiative is incorporated into a new 
budget line listed as the Office of Science Exascale Computing 
Project [SC-ECP] for activities required for the delivery of 
exascale computers. The SC-ECP will be managed following the 
principles of Order 413.3B, and a project management office has 
been established at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which has 
expertise in developing computational science and engineering 
applications, as well as managing high performance computing 
facilities and large scale scientific research projects. The 
Committee recommends including $154,000,000 for SC-ECP. This 
funding will support hardware and software research and 
development, including applications software, for the 
development and deployment of a capable exascale system to meet 
the scientific and national security mission needs of the 
Nation by the mid-2020s.
    The Committee recommends $110,000,000 for the Oak Ridge 
Leadership Computing Facility to ensure that it is the most 
capable, open computational system for science and maintains 
U.S. leadership in supercomputing. The Committee also 
recommends $80,000,000 for the Argonne Leadership Computing 
Facility, $92,145,000 for the National Energy Research 
Scientific Computing Center facility at Lawrence Berkeley 
National Laboratory, and $45,000,000 for ESnet. The Committee 
recommends $10,000,000 for the Computational Sciences Graduate 
Program. Within available funds, the Committee recommends 
$2,500,000 for the cross-program partnership on seismic 
simulation.

                         BASIC ENERGY SCIENCES

    The Committee recommends $1,912,630,000 for Basic Energy 
Sciences [BES]. Of these funds, $1,722,630,000 is for research. 
The Committee is aware the Basic Sciences Advisory Committee 
will provide an updated assessment and prioritization of the 
next three to five projects by June, and will take into account 
for a finalized fiscal year 2017 agreement. The Committee 
recommends funding for optimal operations $489,059,000 for the 
five BES light sources to fully support research and allow the 
facilities to proceed with necessary maintenance, routine 
accelerator and instrumentation improvements, and crucial staff 
hires or replacements. The Committee recognizes the critical 
role that light sources play in the Nation's innovation 
ecosystem, and the growing reliance on them by U.S. researchers 
and industry. In light of increased international investment in 
these unique scientific resources and the consequences for U.S. 
innovation leadership, the Committee supports the Secretary's 
efforts to upgrade and renew these facilities across the full 
spectrum of x-ray capabilities. Within available funds for 
operations and maintenance of scientific user facilities, the 
Committee recommends $265,000,000 for high-flux neutron 
sources, which will allow for both Spallation Neutron Source 
[SNS] and High Flux Isotope Reactor [HFIR] to proceed with the 
most critical deferred repairs, replace outdated instruments, 
and make essential machine improvements. Further, the Committee 
recommends optimal funding for the Nanoscale Science Research 
Centers, and supports the development of capabilities with co-
located facilities.
    The Committee recommends $190,000,000 to support the 
continuation of the construction effort for LCLS-II. In 
addition, the Committee is aware the Department did not provide 
adequate funding within Major Items of Equipment for the 
Advanced Photon Source Upgrade, which received approval for CD-
1 in January 2016, and is ready to move ahead with design and 
procurement. The Committee rejects this approach, and provides 
$50,000,000 for construction, as previously recommended by the 
Department.
    The Committee recommends $26,000,000 for exascale systems, 
the same as the crosscut request for fiscal year 2017.
    The Committee recommends within the funds provided, 
$3,000,000 to continue to work on a new generation of 
nanostructured catalysts that can be used to synthesize 
fertilizer and ammonia without any secondary greenhouse gases.
    The Committee recommends $24,088,000 for the Batteries and 
Energy Storage Hub, the Joint Center for Energy Storage 
Research [JCESR]. This is the last year of the first award 
period, and the Committee is encouraged by the work of JCESR to 
develop energy storage research prototypes for transportation 
and grid applications based on beyond lithium ion concepts. 
These protoypes will demonstrate the potential to scale up 
manufacturing prototype batteries to deliver five times the 
energy density of 2011 battery systems and one-fifth the cost. 
The Committee supports the continued research and development 
for JCESR, to ensure the outcome of basic research leads to 
practical solutions that are competitive in the marketplace. 
The Committee commends JCESR for expanding it partnership of 
national laboratories, academia, and industry to additional 
members outside their region.
    The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for the Fuels from 
Sunlight Hub, the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis 
[JCAP] which was established in fiscal year 2010, and in 
September 2015 was renewed for a second award term of up to 5 
years. The JCAP will continue to perform research on the 
fundamental science of carbon dioxide reduction needed to 
enable efficient, sustainable solar-driven production of liquid 
transportation fuels, and will undergo a scientific and merit 
review in fiscal year 2017 to assess progress towards meeting 
project milestones and goals.
    The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for the Experimental 
Program to Stimulate Competitive Research [EPSCoR]. The 
Committee recognizes the importance of supporting basic 
research, spanning the broad range of the Department's science 
and technology programs in States that have historically 
received disproportionate Federal research funding grants. The 
Committee encourages the Secretary to undertake additional 
efforts to include EPSCoR States in energy research activities 
related to the energy production and output contribution of 
their State.
    The Committee further encourages the Secretary to undertake 
additional efforts to perform energy research activities 
related to enhanced efficiency in energy conversion and 
utilization, including emergent polymer technologies, with a 
focus on infrared optoelectronic devices to ensure continued 
competitiveness in a global marketplace.
    The Committee encourages the Secretary to continue funding 
to support research and development needs of graduate and post-
graduate science programs at Historically Black Colleges and 
Universities.

                 BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH

    The Committee recommends $637,000,000 for Biological and 
Environmental Research. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends $10,000,000 for exascale computing, the same as the 
request for fiscal year 2017 crosscut. The Department is urged 
to give priority to optimizing the operation of Biological and 
Environmental Research User Facilities.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends not less 
than $75,000,000 for three Bioenergy Research Centers for the 
final year of their funding period. The Committee recognizes 
the unique and beneficial role that the Department plays for 
the Nation in the advancement of biosciences to address core 
departmental missions in energy and the environment.
    The Committee encourages the Department to increase funding 
for academia to perform climate model studies that include the 
collection and evaluation of atmospheric data sets from 
satellite observations obtained in cooperation with NASA. 
Satellite observations of the atmosphere, within the context of 
the Earth as a global system, provide information that is 
critical in the interpretation of Earth-based observations.
    As other nations have launched research programs on albedo 
modification, the Committee recommends the Department review 
the findings of the National Academy of Sciences report 
entitled, ``Climate Intervention: Reflecting Sunlight to Cool 
Earth,'' and leverage existing computational and modeling 
capabilities to explore the potential impacts of albedo 
modification.

                         FUSION ENERGY SCIENCES

    The Committee recommends $280,110,000 for Fusion Energy 
Sciences. The Committee directs the Department to provide a 
prioritization and long-range plan for domestic Fusion Energy 
Sciences research and development program.
    U.S. Contribution to ITER.--The Committee recommends no 
funding for the International Thermonuclear Experimental 
Reactor [ITER] project. The Committee has previously expressed 
and continues to remain concerned about the rising cost of the 
United States' participation in ITER under construction in St. 
Paul-lez-Durance, France. Funding for the contribution to ITER 
continues to crowd out other Federal science investments, 
including domestic fusion research, as well as high performance 
computing and materials science, where the United States has 
maintained leadership. The Fiscal Year 2016 Omnibus 
Appropriations Act directed a report from the Secretary of 
Energy recommending either the United States to continue its 
participation in the ITER project or terminate participation, 
and that recommendation is expected not later than May 2, 2016. 
The Committee is aware an updated project cost and long term 
schedule are also under review by an independent panel, and 
will be provided to the ITER Organization in April 2016.

                          HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS

    The Committee recommends $832,997,000 for High Energy 
Physics.
    The Committee strongly supports the Secretary's efforts to 
advance the recommendations of the Particle Physics Project 
Prioritization Panel Report, which established clear priorities 
for the domestic particle physics program over the next 10 
years under realistic budget scenarios. Within available funds, 
the Committee recommends $55,000,000 for the Long Baseline 
Neutrino Facility/Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment to 
ensure the United States meets its commitments to support joint 
DUNE detector design and prototyping in partnership with CERN, 
to complete site preparation and begin excavation for the far 
detector site, and to secure and define technical contributions 
from other international partners.
    The Committee recommendation provides Cosmic Frontier 
Experimental Physics an additional $5,000,000 to fund the Dark 
Energy Spectroscopic Instrument at $12,000,000 and the G2 Dark 
Matter Experiment LUX ZEPLIN at $12,500,000. The Committee 
recommends $45,000,000 for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope 
Camera, the same as the request.

                            NUCLEAR PHYSICS

    The Committee recommends $635,658,000 for Nuclear Physics. 
The Committee is supportive of the 2015 Long Range Plan for 
Nuclear Science released in October 2015 to address important 
scientific questions with modest or constrained growth in the 
nuclear science budgets, while still maintaining a strong, 
vital and world leading program. Within these funds, the 
Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the Facility for Rare 
Isotope Beams and the budget request for the Relativistic Heavy 
Ion Collider.

           WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS AND SCIENTISTS

    The Committee recommends $37,000,000 in funding for the 
Loan Guarantee Program, the same as the request. This funding 
is offset by $30,000,000 in receipts from loan guarantee 
applicants, for a net appropriation of $7,000,000. An 
additional $37,000,000 in prior receipts from loan guarantee 
applicants is credited to the bill as a scorekeeping 
adjustment. The Committee does not recommend any new loan 
authority, as proposed in the budget request.
    Not later than 45 days after the date of enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary shall provide the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress with a report that 
includes the following information: (1) a list of each 
conditional commitment the Secretary has offered and which has 
not been closed or withdrawn as of the date of enactment of 
this Act; (2) a status of each project listed under (1); and 
(3) a justification by the Secretary as to why each conditional 
commitment should continue to be pending and not withdrawn; and 
(4) any specific legal hindrances to withdrawing conditional 
commitments once the Secretary has offered them. The Committee 
encourages the Department to make $9,000,000 of the current 
renewable energy credit subsidy available for Indian Energy 
proposals.

Budget estimate, 2017...................................     167,037,000
Committee recommendation................................     129,142,000

    The Committee recommends $232,142,000 in funding for 
Departmental Administration. Included within such amounts is 
funding for the Department's activities related to 
implementation of the Digital Accountability and Transparency 
Act. This funding offset by $103,000,000 in revenue for a net 
appropriation of $129,142,000.
    The Committee has reduced the number of control points in 
this account in order to provide flexibility to the Department 
in its management and funding of its support functions. The 
Department is directed to continue to submit its budget request 
for this account in its current structure. The Other 
Departmental Administration activity now includes Management, 
Chief Human Capital Officer, Chief Information Officer, Office 
of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization, General 
Counsel, Energy Policy and Systems Analysis, International 
Affairs, Public Affairs, Economic Impact and Diversity, and 
Office of Energy Jobs Development. The Office of Indian Energy 
Programs is funded in a separate account for the first time 
this year.
    The Committee encourages the Secretary to provide technical 
assistance, including studies or analysis, at the request of 
State energy regulatory authorities, which capture the known 
and measureable current and future benefits and costs of 
distributed energy resources (such as distributed generation, 
demand response, storage, and energy efficiency) to the 
customers they serve and the utilities they regulate. The 
studies may include, but are not limited to, the following 
variables: (1) avoided energy, (2) line losses, (3) avoided 
capacity, (4) ancillary services, (5) transmission and 
distribution capacity, (6) avoided criteria pollutant costs, 
(7) avoided carbon dioxide emission cost, (8) fuel hedging, (9) 
utility integration and interconnection costs, (10) utility 
administration costs, (11) environmental costs.
    The Committee directs the Secretary to complete a survey of 
previous energy plants that have shutdown, how communities 
adapted, the opportunities and challenges facing these 
communities, and resources available to assist with the 
economic transition. Such a report is to be submitted to the 
Senate Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee on 
Energy and Natural Resources no later than 180 days after the 
enactment of this act.
    Technology Transfer.--In awarding funding from the 
Technology Commercialization Fund, the Department shall assure 
cost match with private partners is in accordance with cost 
sharing in section 988 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (42 
U.S.C. 16352).
    The Committee directs the Department to submit a report, no 
later than 30 days after enactment of this act, detailing 
projects approved under 42 U.S.C. 16421 and the Department's 
efforts to ensure compliance with State laws, as applicable 
under 42 U.S.C. 16421(d)(2).
    Nonprofit Cost Share.--The Committee notes that the 
Secretary may reduce or eliminate the research and development 
match requirement established in section 988 of the Energy 
Policy Act of 2005, where necessary and appropriate. The 
Committee encourages the Secretary to consider the use of this 
discretion if the research goals of the Department of Energy 
would be advanced by reducing or eliminating the match 
requirement for nonprofit organizations and institutions.
    Small Refinery Exemption.--The Committee directs the 
Secretary to continue to follow the direction included under 
this heading in fiscal year 2016.

                    Office of the Inspector General

    The Committee recommends $44,424,000 for the Office of the 
Inspector General, the same as the request.

                    ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES


                NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

    The Committee recommends $12,867,186,000 for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration [NNSA]. The Committee continues 
funding for recapitalization of our nuclear weapons 
infrastructure, while modernizing and maintaining a safe, 
secure, and credible nuclear deterrent without testing. This is 
among our most important national security priorities.
    At the same time, the Committee supports continuing 
important efforts to secure and permanently eliminate remaining 
stockpiles of nuclear and radiological materials overseas and 
in the United States that can be used for nuclear or 
radiological weapons. In addition, the Committee supports Naval 
Reactors and the important role they play in enabling the 
Navy's nuclear fleet.

                     INTEGRATED UNIVERSITY PROGRAM

    The Committee directs the Secretary to carry out the 
requirements of 42 U.S.C. 16274a in support of university 
research and development in areas relevant to the NNSA's 
mission. Within available funds, the Committee recommends not 
less than $5,000,000 for the Integrated University Program to 
cultivate the next generation of leaders in nonproliferation, 
nuclear security, and international security. Together with 
funds from the Office of Nuclear Energy and the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, this program ensures highly qualified 
nuclear specialists will be available to meet national needs. 
The Committee directs the Secretary to request funding for this 
program in future budget years, and specifically highlight the 
source of funds within the budget request. Further, funding for 
this program shall not come from prior year funds.

                           PROJECT MANAGEMENT

    The Committee is concerned about NNSA's ability to properly 
estimate costs and timelines for large projects. The NNSA is 
encouraged to assess current performance on projects costing 
more than $750,000,000, and make appropriate project management 
changes. The Committee encourages the NNSA to identify problems 
in cost and schedule estimates early, and provide updated 
information to the Committee in a timely manner.

                           Weapons Activities

Appropriations, 2016....................................  $8,846,948,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................   9,285,147,000
Committee recommendation................................   9,285,147,000

    The Committee recommends $9,285,147,000 for Weapons 
Activities, the same as the budget request to ensure the 
safety, security, reliability, and effectiveness of the 
Nation's nuclear weapons stockpile without the need for nuclear 
testing.

                        Directed Stockpile Work

    The Committee recommends $3,321,011,000 for Directed 
Stockpile Work.
    Life Extension Programs.--The Committee recommends 
$1,340,341,000 for Life Extension Programs and Major 
Alterations, which fully funds all life extension programs and 
major alterations in the budget request, consistent with the 
plan of record approved by the Nuclear Weapons Council. NNSA 
needs to ensure that Life Extension Programs are completed on 
time and on budget to prevent impact on other high priorities, 
such as modernizing aging infrastructure, critical 
nonproliferation activities to combat nuclear terrorism, and 
naval nuclear propulsion.
    W76 Life Extension Program.--The Committee recommends 
$222,880,000 for the W76 Life Extension Program. Completing the 
W76 Life Extension Program, which makes up the largest share of 
the country's nuclear weapon deterrent on the most survivable 
leg of the Triad, is this Committee's highest priority for life 
extension programs.
    B61 Life Extension Program.--The Committee recommends 
$616,079,000 for the B61 Life Extension Program. The Committee 
supports the Nuclear Weapons Council plan to retire the B83, 
the last megaton class weapon in the stockpile, by 2025.
    W88 Alt 370.--The Committee recommends $281,129,000 for the 
W88 Alt 370.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of Energy, in 
conjunction with the Nuclear Weapons Council, to submit a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations of both the House 
and Senate, no later than 180 days after enactment of this act, 
to include: a military justification for the Long Range Stand-
Off missile and its operational capabilities; whether the 
Nuclear Weapons Council has directed the study of additional 
operational capabilities for the W80-4 relative to the W80-1 
warhead; a detailed explanation of the extent to which 
conventional explosive systems can meet the same or similar 
military objectives as the Long Range Standoff weapon; a 
description of the blast, thermal and radiation spread of an 
atmospheric W80-4 nuclear explosion in representative 
operational employment conditions; a description of 
alternatives leading to the August, 2014 Nuclear Weapons 
Council decision to use the W80 warhead for the Long Range 
Standoff weapon; and a comprehensive description and 
justification of all design options and associated systems and 
subsystems under evaluation in Phase 6.2, including whether the 
system or subsystem option is driven by aging, safety, 
security, or use control concerns.
    Weapons Dismantlement and Disposition.--The Committee 
supports the administration's efforts to accelerate the 
dismantlement of retired nuclear weapons removed from the 
stockpile prior to 2009. Further, the Committee supports 
accelerated dismantlements now as a way of preparing its 
workforce for necessary stockpile production work beginning 
later this decade.
    Stockpile Services.--The Committee recommends $890,173,000 
for stockpile services. Within Stockpile Services, the Nuclear 
Materials Management Safeguards System [NMMSS] tracks 
movements, uses, inventories, and locations of all nuclear 
materials, including plutonium and high enriched uranium, 
domestically and internationally. The Committee supports the 
maintenance and expansion of NMMSS and encourages NNSA to 
ensure that NMMSS receives the management visibility and 
support needed to ensure technical and organizational 
sustainability. Further, the Committee directs the Department 
to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
the Senate and House no later than 90 days after enactment on 
the activities and funding needed to enhance or expand the 
system to provide greater transparency to in-transit materials, 
delivery confirmation, excess materials awaiting disposal, and 
historical information.
    Strategic Materials.--The Committee recommends $577,837,000 
for Strategic Materials.

           RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TECHNOLOGY, AND ENGINEERING

    The Committee recommends $1,839,130,000 for Research, 
Development, Technology, and Engineering.
    Science.--The Committee commends NNSA for completing the 
Dynamic Compression Sector experiment at the Advanced Photon 
Source at the Argonne National Laboratory on time and on 
budget. This first of its kind experimental facility will help 
address gaps in understanding materials at extreme conditions 
that directly support the Stockpile Stewardship Mission and 
train the next generation of researchers. The Committee 
encourages NNSA to maximize the use of this new capability. As 
the first successful collaboration between NNSA, the Office of 
Science, and an academic institution, the Committee believes 
this project should serve as a model for future scientific 
collaborations between NNSA and the Office of Science to 
address long-standing scientific challenges of stockpile 
stewardship in a cost effective manner.
    Current world events confirm the dynamic nature of the 
global threats we face today and confirm the need for a safe, 
secure, and effective nuclear deterrent. Central to this 
priority is recruiting and retaining a world-class workforce 
consisting of scientists, engineers, and technicians to sustain 
the Nation's deterrent without nuclear explosive testing. The 
nuclear security enterprise must be able to effectively respond 
to emerging threats, unanticipated events, and technological 
innovation through science and engineering--all while 
continuing to carry out the necessary activities in support of 
the stockpile. The Committee notes NNSA's successes in this 
regard and encourages NNSA to continue to prioritize efforts 
within Research, Development, Test & Evaluation to improve 
certification capabilities. As such, within the funds available 
for Advanced Certification, the Committee recommends 
$10,000,000 above the budget request for NNSA to carry out 
section 3112 of the fiscal year 2016 National Defense 
Authorization Act.
    Inertial Confinement Fusion Ignition and High-Yield 
Campaign.--The Committee recommends $522,959,000 for the 
inertial confinement fusion ignition and high-yield campaign. 
The Committee supports the recent comprehensive Inertial 
Confinement Fusion Program Framework that details program 
requirements, milestones and metrics, and clear priorities for 
diagnostic investments that advance the three approaches to 
ignition and thermonuclear burning plasma capabilities 
primarily pursued at the National Ignition Facility, Z and 
Omega for the Stockpile Stewardship Program.
    Advanced Simulation and Computing.--The Committee 
recommends $663,184,000 for advanced simulation and computing. 
Within these funds, the Committee recommends no less than 
$95,000,000 for activities associated with the exascale 
initiative, such as advanced system architecture design 
contracts with vendors and advanced weapons code development to 
effectively use new high performance computing platforms. The 
Committee is concerned that there is no clear distinction 
between the efforts within the NNSA and the Office of Science, 
and no way to determine if the work is complementary or 
duplicative. The Secretary is directed to provide a report to 
the Senate and House Appropriations Committees no later than 90 
days after enactment of this act, which describes the roles and 
responsibilities of the NNSA and the Office of Science 
associated with exascale computing.

                     INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS

    The Committee recommends $2,731,952,000 for Infrastructure 
and Operations. Within funding for Infrastructure and Safety, 
$2,200,000 is provided for the cross-program partnership on 
seismic simulation.
    Operations.--The Committee recommends $834,000,000 for 
Operations.
    Bannister Road Complex.--The Committee supports NNSA's 
proposal to turn over the Bannister Road Complex to a private 
entity, consistent with section 3143 of the fiscal year 2014 
National Defense Authorization Act. The Committee supports the 
budget request and recommends $200,000,000 for the transfer of 
the Bannister Road Complex, and notes that the transfer will 
save the NNSA over $700,000,000 in cleanup costs.
    Construction.--The Committee recommends $826,670,000 for 
major capital construction projects.
    Project 06-D-141, Uranium Processing Facility, Y-12, Oak 
Ridge, Tennessee.--The Committee recommends $575,000,000 to 
continue design and engineering work as well as site readiness 
and site preparation projects for the Uranium Processing 
Facility.
    The Committee supports efforts to replace existing enriched 
uranium capabilities currently residing in Building 9212 by 
2025 for not more than $6.5 billion. The Committee supports the 
strategy of breaking the project into more manageable sub-
projects. This practice is specifically permitted by DOE Order 
413.3B, and is a practical approach for this project. The 
Committee expects the Secretary to ensure full compliance with 
the Department's requirement to have a design that is at least 
90 percent complete before approving the start of construction 
for the nuclear facilities. The Committee is encouraged that 
the NNSA plans to complete at least 90 percent of the design of 
the project's nuclear facilities by the end of 2017, and 
expects to start construction shortly thereafter. In order to 
make a smooth transition from design to construction, the NNSA 
must have adequate resources available to review Critical 
Decision documents from the contractor. The Committee directs 
the NNSA to provide the plan for reviewing those documents to 
the Senate and House Appropriations Committees with the fiscal 
year 2018 budget request.
    Secure Transportation Asset.--The Committee recommends 
$261,420,000 for Secure Transportation Asset [STA]. The budget 
request for operations and equipment for fiscal year 2017 
through 2020 has grown by more than 33 percent when compared to 
that same timeframe in last year's budget request, but NNSA 
does not explain the reason for the large increase. As such, 
the Committee concludes that the STA program does not have a 
stable procurement plan for replacing its assets.

                        DEFENSE NUCLEAR SECURITY

    The Committee recommends $706,550,000 for Defense Nuclear 
Security.
    The recommendation provides additional funding above the 
budget request to meet shortfalls anticipated for the 
protective forces at Y-12 and other NNSA sites, and the need to 
replace vital security infrastructure. The Committee is 
concerned that NNSA continues to be overly aggressive in 
forecasting savings from the new contract structure at Y-12 and 
Pantex, and has not budgeted for a sufficient protective force 
to support production work required in the life extension 
programs.

                    Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation

Appropriations, 2016....................................  $1,940,302,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................   1,821,916,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,821,916,000

    The Committee recommends $1,821,916,000 for Defense Nuclear 
Nonproliferation, the same as the budget request.

                    DEFENSE NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION

    Defense nuclear nonproliferation provides a vitally 
important component of our national security--preventing 
nuclear materials and weapons from falling into the wrong 
hands, including non-weapons nations, terrorist organizations 
and other non-state entities. This mission is challenged by an 
increasingly dangerous world with emerging and evolving 
threats, in addition to the proliferation of technologies that 
simplify production, manufacturing and design of nuclear 
materials and weapons. The Committee is concerned that there is 
a disconnect between real-world threats and the planned work in 
nonproliferation. For example, the administration agreed to the 
Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action last year, but did not 
request sufficient funds that could further directly support 
verification of that agreement. NNSA is directed to provide the 
Senate and House Appropriations Committees with a report that 
prioritizes threats to national security and links the budget 
request to those threats no later than June 30, 2017.
    Global Material Security.--The Committee recommends 
$344,108,000 for Global Material Security to increase the 
security of vulnerable stockpiles of nuclear weapons, weapons-
usable nuclear materials, and radiological materials and to 
improve partner countries' abilities to deter, detect, and 
interdict illicit trafficking. To ensure vital core 
capabilities in this area are maintained, it is imperative that 
the U.S. Government retain requisite expertise in uranium 
science and engineering, with appropriate infrastructure 
(laboratories, small-scale processing capability, and 
equipment), and resources to support nonproliferation and 
counter-proliferation efforts.
    The Committee supports the mission of the Nuclear Smuggling 
Detection and Deterrence program, but is also concerned about 
the cost and pace of the deployment of radiation detection 
equipment as part of this program. Specifically, over the last 
5 years, the program has spent about $1 billion for work 
carried out in the 59 partner countries including deploying 
equipment, conducting training, and performing activities to 
transition operating responsibility to partner countries. 
Meanwhile, target dates for full transition to partner 
countries have been repeatedly delayed, and it is presently 
unclear when this work will be completed. Moreover, it is not 
clear whether NNSA has identified all of the program's goals or 
how and when it will achieve them. Accordingly, the Committee 
directs the Secretary to submit a plan to the Senate and House 
Appropriations Committees within 180 days of enactment for 
completing the deployment and transition of radiation detection 
technologies, including all program goals, meaningful 
performance measures, and major milestones, and the cost, 
scope, and schedule of achieving those goals and milestones for 
all 59 partner countries. The Committee understands that some 
program post-transition activities will continue over the long-
term to assist partner countries in combating nuclear 
smuggling. Nonetheless, such a plan is necessary so NNSA and 
Congress can assess progress in implementing the program.
    Materials Management and Minimization.--The Committee 
recommends $32,744,000 for the U.S. High Performance Research 
Reactor Program, a reduction of $20,000,000 from the budget 
request. Funds and program activities should be focused on fuel 
development for research reactors with lower peak power density 
requirements outside of the Department of Energy.
    Molybdenum-99.--The Committee continues to place a high 
priority on the development of domestic supplies of the medical 
isotope Molybdenum-99 [Moly-99] on a schedule adequate to meet 
public health needs. The Committee is encouraged by the 
progress made in establishing two or more domestic sources of 
Moly-99. NNSA is currently executing three cooperative 
agreements. In addition, there are at least seven other 
companies working to produce non-HEU-based Moly-99 without 
Government support. The Committee directs the Department to 
request funds sufficient to adequately support current and 
future cooperative agreement commitments and urges the 
Department to reconsider cost sharing caps as necessary in 
order to ensure timely supplies of this critical medical 
isotope.
    Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and 
Development.--The Committee recommends $406,922,000 for Defense 
Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development. Within 
available funds, the Committee recommends not less than 
$3,000,000 to be used for Ionizing Radiation Detector 
Development. The Committee supports a robust research and 
development capability to support nonproliferation initiatives, 
and does not support the drastic reductions proposed in the 
budget request. Proliferation of illicit nuclear materials and 
weapons continues to be high-consequence threat, and our 
ability to detect the production and movement of these 
materials is vitally important. Research and development in 
this area is especially important.
    Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response.--The 
Committee recommends $271,881,000, an increase of $37,491,000 
from fiscal year 2016 enacted for Nuclear Counterterrorism and 
Incident Response.
    None of the funds available in this act or any other act 
are available for work under a Technical Engineering and 
Programmatic Support Blanket Purchase Agreement. If the 
Department wishes to place a contract under a Technical 
Engineering and Programmatic Support Blanket Purchase 
Agreement, the Department shall submit a reprogramming request 
in accordance with the reprogramming requirements carried in 
this act.

                             Naval Reactors

Appropriations, 2016....................................  $1,375,496,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................   1,420,120,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,351,520,000

    The Committee recommends $1,351,520,000 for Naval Reactors 
equal to the budget request when accounting for the 
programmatic transfer discussed below. The Committee's 
recommendation fully funds important national priorities, 
including the Ohio-class replacement submarine design and the 
prototype refueling. The Committee also recommends full funding 
for Naval Reactors Operations and Infrastructure, recognizing 
the importance of safe operations of the prototype reactors in 
New York and the spent fuel facility in Idaho, while properly 
maintaining overall infrastructure and facilities at four 
sites.

           OHIO-CLASS REPLACEMENT REACTOR SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee recommends $213,700,000 for Ohio-Class 
Replacement Reactor Systems Development.

                       NAVAL REACTORS DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee recommends $451,338,000 for Naval Reactors 
Development. Within the funds provided, the Committee 
recommends $5,000,000 to continue the technical program to 
develop and qualify a low enriched uranium fuel system for 
naval cores.
    Advanced Test Reactor.--The Advanced Test Reactor [ATR] is 
an important research platform for nuclear testing and 
development, and is operated as a User Facility with broad 
applications across multiple programs. Historically, the 
operations and maintenance of the ATR has been funded in both 
the Naval Reactors and the Nuclear Energy accounts. External 
users other than Naval Reactors only pay for the incremental 
costs of their specific tests. The Committee supports adequate 
funding for the operations and maintenance of the ATR, but is 
consolidating the funding within the Nuclear Energy budget. As 
such, no funding is provided within the Naval Reactors account 
for ATR operations and maintenance. Naval Reactors should 
continue to fund NR-specific needs at ATR just like any other 
external user.

                              CONSTRUCTION

    The Committee recommends $134,300,000 for Construction. 
Within available funds, the Committee recommends $86,000,000 
for the Spent Fuel Handling Facility in Idaho and $33,300,000 
for the Engine Room Team Trainer.

                     Federal Salaries And Expenses

Appropriations, 2016....................................    $383,666,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................     412,817,000
Committee recommendation................................     408,603,000

    The Committee recommends $408,603,000, a decrease of 
$4,214,000 from the budget request.

                     Defense Environmental Cleanup

Appropriations, 2016....................................  $5,289,742,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................   5,235,350,000
Committee recommendation................................   5,379,018,000

    The Committee recommendation for Defense Environmental 
Cleanup is $5,379,018,000, an increase of $143,668,000 from the 
budget request. Within available funds, the Department is 
directed to fund the Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program.
    The Committee rejects the Department's inclusion of a 
single control point for infrastructure recapitalization and 
general plant projects for multiple sites. Further, the Office 
of Environmental Management shall not establish any central or 
consolidated appropriations accounts, or establish any separate 
controls within individual site accounts in any future budget 
request without prior agreement of the Senate and House 
Appropriations Committees.
    Richland.--As a signatory to the Tri-Party Agreement, the 
Department of Energy is required to meet specific compliance 
milestones toward the cleanup of the Hanford site. Among other 
things, the Department committed to provide the funding 
necessary to enable full compliance with its cleanup 
milestones. Unfortunately, if the Department's fiscal year 2017 
budget request were enacted, several future fiscal year Tri-
Party Agreement milestones could be at risk, threatening high 
risk cleanup projects near the city of Richland, Washington and 
the economically and environmentally important Columbia River. 
The Committee recognizes that significant progress has been 
made at the Hanford Site. However, because the Department's 
budget request could slow or halt critical cleanup work and 
threaten the Department's compliance with its legal obligations 
under the Tri-Party Agreement, the Committee recommends 
$839,760,000 for Richland Operations. Additional funding is 
provided for cleanup of the 300-296 waste site, continued 
remediation of the 618-10 burial ground, groundwater treatment, 
site-wide infrastructure, and community and regulatory support. 
Within available funds in the River Corridor control point, the 
Department is directed to carry out maintenance and public 
safety efforts at the B Reactor, the Manhattan Project National 
Historical Park, and the Hazardous Materials Management and 
Emergency Response facilities.
    NNSA Sites.--The Committee recommends $270,387,000 for NNSA 
sites.
    Oak Ridge Reservation.--The Committee recommends 
$263,219,000 for Oak Ridge Reservation. Within the funds 
available for Nuclear Facility D&D, the Committee recommends 
$45,400,000 to continue to support characterization and 
demolition of excess contaminated facilities and $6,000,000 to 
support preliminary design of a new landfill for the Oak Ridge 
Reservation. The existing on-site disposal facility is expected 
to reach capacity before all cleanup activities are completed. 
Planning for a new landfill is necessary to ensure that there 
is no interruption of cleanup activities. Within funds 
available for Cleanup and Waste Disposition, the Committee 
recommends $48,600,000 for continuing transuranic waste 
processing and storage to meet contractual and regulatory 
commitments.
    U-233 Disposition Program.--The Committee recommends 
$43,311,000 for the cleanup of Building 3019. Removal of legacy 
material from this building, an aging facility in the heart of 
the Oak Ridge National Laboratory central campus, must remain a 
high priority for the Department. Timely completion of this 
effort will enable the overall security posture at the 
laboratory to be relaxed, which will reduce costs and eliminate 
nuclear safety issues, and make the campus more conducive to 
collaborative science.
    Mercury Treatment Facility.--The Committee recommends 
$5,100,000 to complete the design of the Outfall 200 Mercury 
Treatment Facility. Remediation of mercury contamination at the 
Oak Ridge Reservation is an important precursor to full site 
remediation. Reducing the mercury being released into the East 
Fork of Poplar Creek continues to be a high priority for the 
Environmental Management program.
    Office of River Protection.--The Committee recommends 
$1,499,965,000 for the Office of River Protection.
    The Committee is aware of a recent ruling by the U.S. 
District Court for the Eastern District of Washington amending 
the 2010 Consent Decree between the Department of Energy and 
State of Washington, setting new deadlines and requirements for 
the construction and operation of the Waste Treatment and 
Immobilization Plant and tank waste retrievals. The Committee 
directs the Department to request sufficient funding in future 
budgets to ensure compliance with the 2016 Consent Decree. 
Furthermore, the Committee encourages the Department to use all 
means necessary to procure a spare A-E-1 reboiler for the 242-A 
Evaporator by December 31, 2016 as required by the Consent 
Decree.
    Savannah River Site.--The Committee recommends 
$1,268,668,000 for the Savannah River site. Within the funds 
provided, $3,000,000 is provided for disposition of spent fuel 
from the High Flux Isotope Reactor.
    Idaho.--The Committee is concerned about the lack of 
progress in starting operations at the Integrated Waste 
Treatment Unit. Completed in 2012 at a cost of $571,000,000, 
the facility is intended to treat 900,000 gallons of sodium-
bearing radioactive waste. Unfortunately, design flaws and 
other problems have led to another $140,000,000 being spent 
without startup of the facility. Treating this waste is 
necessary for cleanup of the Idaho site and to meet regulatory 
commitments to the State. The Committee appreciates the efforts 
of the Department and its contractors to address the challenges 
associated with the current waste treatment approach. However, 
a new approach using different facilities may be necessary. The 
Department is directed to submit a report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both the House and Senate within 60 days of 
enactment on the viability of the current approach and 
alternative approaches for treating the sodium-bearing waste in 
a timely manner.
    Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.--The Committee recommends 
$274,540,000 for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, including a 
total of $26,800,000 for settlement costs associated with the 
February 2014 incidents.
    The Committee encourages the Secretary to take all 
appropriate actions to reopen the facility on schedule at the 
end of this year and demonstrate the ability operate in a safe 
manner. Worker safety must continue to be a priority for the 
Department and its contractors. The Committee also encourages 
the Secretary to ensure that, once the site reopens and resumes 
emplacement of waste, adequate funding is requested for longer-
term work required to return the site to its full operational 
capability.
    Technology Development and Demonstration.--The Committee 
supports the Department's efforts to expand technology 
development and demonstration to address its long-term and 
technically complex cleanup challenges. Further, the Committee 
supports the Department's efforts to award merit-based research 
at the national laboratories to address long-term cleanup 
mission needs. The Committee believes it is in the best 
interest of all sites that these funds are competitively 
awarded and managed by Department of Energy Headquarters. The 
Committee directs the Department to submit a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both the Senate and House 
outlining its plans for cleanup technology development and 
demonstration, including technical focus areas, intended 
outcomes and performance measures, out-year funding needs, and 
how the Department intends to use the broad technical expertise 
of the national laboratories.
    The Committee supports the Department's work to assess the 
current status and long term requirements for the extended 
storage and final disposition of spent fuel and high-level 
wastes through Technology Development and National Spent 
Nuclear Fuel programs. These programs are of vital importance, 
especially given the Department's commitments to remove all 
spent fuel from Idaho by 2035.

environmental review for the projects in Docket Nos. CP14-517-
000 and CP14-518-000 noticed by the agency on June 26, 2015.
    The Committee encourages FERC, in accordance with Executive 
Order 13604 (5 U.S.C. 601 note; relating to improving 
performance of Federal permitting and review of infrastructure 
projects), to prioritize meaningful opportunities for public 
engagement and coordination with State and local governments in 
the Federal permitting and review processes of energy 
infrastructure proposals. Specifically, review processes should 
remain transparent and consistent, and ensure the health, 
safety, and security of the environment and each affected 
community.
    The Committee believes FERC should reopen its Rulemaking 
Regarding Annual Charges for Use of Government Lands in Docket 
No. RM11-6-000 and adopt a single per-acre rate to access 
Federal land use fees in the State of Alaska.

                          INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

                    Appalachian Regional Commission

Appropriations, 2016....................................    $146,000,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................     120,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     151,000,000

    The Committee recommends $151,000,000 for the Appalachian 
Regional Commission [ARC], an increase of $31,000,000 above the 
budget request. Established in 1965, the Appalachian Regional 
Commission is an economic development agency composed of 13 
Appalachian States and a Federal co-chair appointed by the 
President. Within available funding, $75,000,000 if provided 
for base funds; and $20,000,000 is recommended for a program of 
industrial site and workforce development in Southern and South 
Central Appalachia, focused primarily on the automotive 
supplier sector and the aviation sector. Up to $16,000,000 of 
that amount is recommended for activities in South Central 
Appalachia. The funds shall be distributed according to the 
Commission's Distressed Counties Formula, which is comprised of 
land area, population estimates, and a proportion of the number 
of distressed counties. Within available funding, the Committee 
recommends $6,000,000 for a program of basic infrastructure 
improvements in distressed counties in Central Appalachia. 
Funds shall be distributed according to ARC's distressed 
counties formula and shall be in addition to the regular 
allocation to distressed counties.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends 
$50,000,000, the same as the budget request, for the POWER 
Initiative to support communities, primarily in Appalachia, 
that have been adversely impacted by the closure of coal-
powered generating plants and a declining coal industry by 
providing resources for economic diversification, job creation, 
job training, and other employment services.

                Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2016....................................     $29,150,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................      31,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      31,000,000

    The Committee recommends $31,000,000 for the Defense 
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, the same as the budget 
request. The Committee recognizes the important role of the 
Board in continued safe operations of the Department of 
Energy's nuclear facilities. The highly-skilled men and women 
that comprise the Board's technical staff, along with the 
current Board leadership, provide the Department of Energy and 
Congress with valuable advice and recommendations. Congress 
permanently authorized the Inspector General for the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission to serve as the Inspector General for the 
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board. The Committee 
recommendation includes $969,000 within the Office of Inspector 
General of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to perform these 
services.

                        Delta Regional Authority

Appropriations, 2016....................................     $25,000,000
Budget estimate, 2017...................................      15,936,000
Committee recommendation................................      25,000,000

    The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for the Delta Regional 
Authority, an increase of $9,064,000 from the request. The 
Delta Regional Authority is a Federal-State partnership that is 
designed to assist the eight-State Mississippi Delta Region in 
developing basic infrastructure, transportation, skill 
training, and opportunities for economic development for 
distressed counties and parishes. Within available funds, not 
less than $10,000,000 shall be used for flood control, basic 
public infrastructure development and transportation 
improvements, which shall be allocated separate from the State 
formula funding method. The Committee did not retain statutory 
language in Public Law 114-113 waiving the requirements under 
sections 382C(b)(2), 382F(d) and 382M of the Delta Regional 
Authority Act of 2000. The Committee directs the Delta Regional 
Authority to prioritize and allocate funding consistent with 
its authorized purposes, and prevent administrative expenses 
from exceeding 5 percent of the amount appropriated by this 
act.

                           Denali Commission

Budget estimate, 2017...................................      15,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      15,000,000

    The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for the Denali 
Commission, the same as the budget request. The Denali 
Commission is a Federal-State partnership responsible for 
promoting infrastructure development, job training, and other 
economic support services in rural areas throughout Alaska.

                  Northern Border Regional Commission

Budget estimate, 2017...................................     119,002,000
Committee recommendation................................     116,760,000

    The Committee recommends $939,000,000 for the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission [Commission], a decrease of $31,163,000 
from the budget request. This amount is offset by estimated 
revenues of $822,240,000, resulting in a net appropriation of 
$116,760,000. In developing this recommendation, the Committee 
has consulted with the Commission to ensure it maintains its 
gold-standard health and safety mission while reducing low-
priority work.
    Budget Execution Plan.--The Commission is directed to 
provide the Committee with a specific budget execution plan no 
later than 30 days after the enactment of this act. This plan 
shall provide details at the product line level within each of 
the control points, as applicable, included in the table after 
the Office of Inspector General heading below.
    Realignment of Overhead Activities.--The recommendation 
adopts the Commission's proposed realignment of overhead 
activities, which makes the Commission's accounting for these 
activities more consistent with other Federal agencies. The 
Commission is directed to execute the appropriations provided 
for fiscal year 2017 consistent with the realignment as 
proposed in the budget request without deviation, except as 
authorized under section 401 of the bill. Any additional 
realignments shall be proposed in subsequent budget requests 
after consultation with the Committee.
    Budget Control Points.--The recommendation includes 
additional budget control points for fiscal year 2017 to ensure 
the Commission's budget execution follows congressional intent. 
These budget control points are included in the table following 
the heading of Office of Inspector General. The Committee notes 
that the Commission's initial execution plan for fiscal year 
2016 did not comply with the budget control points included in 
the explanatory statement accompanying the Energy and Water 
Appropriations Act, 2016, and directs the Commission to execute 
funds provided herein in accordance with the new control 
points. Although the Commission subsequently realigned its 
execution plan to comply with the budget control points, the 
Committee's oversight responsibilities of taxpayer funds 
requires additional safeguards. Accordingly, the Committee 
includes statutory language incorporating the new control 
points by reference into law, and notes that any breaches are 
now subject to the reporting requirements and remedies of the 
Antideficiency Act contained in title 31 of the United States 
Code.
    Reprogramming Authority.--Section 401 continues 
reprogramming authority included in the Energy and Water 
Development Appropriations Act, 2016, for the Commission 
between the budget control points, subject to prior 
congressional approval, with a provision made for emergency 
circumstances. This reprogramming authority supersedes the 
Commission's existing guidance on internal reprogrammings.
    Unobligated Balances from Prior Appropriations.--The 
Committee notes that the Commission carries unobligated 
balances from appropriations received prior to fiscal year 
2016. The Committee's recommendation requires the use of 
$15,100,000 of these balances, derived from fee-based 
activities. Because the Commission has already collected fees 
corresponding to these activities in prior years, the Committee 
does not include these funds within the fee base calculation 
for determining authorized revenues, and does not provide 
authority to collect additional offsetting receipts for their 
use. The Committee notes that any remaining unobligated 
balances carried forward from prior years are now subject to 
the reprogramming guidelines in section 401, and shall not only 
be used to supplement appropriations consistent with those 
guidelines.
    Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies.--The Committee 
recommends $5,000,000 for activities related to the development 
of regulatory infrastructure for advanced nuclear reactor 
technologies, as requested. These funds are not subject to the 
Commission's general fee recovery collection requirements.
    Reductions from Efficiencies.--The recommendation includes 
reductions to the budget request of $31,100,000 that were 
identified as potential savings by the Commission's staff due 
to discontinuation, de-prioritization, or incremental 
reductions of activities. According to the Commission's staff, 
including these savings would not adversely affect the 
Commission's safety mission, and the Committee therefore adopts 
these proposed reductions in their entirety. The Committee 
applauds the Commission's reviews of its programs to find these 
efficiencies, and urges the Commission to identify additional 
efficiencies.
    Integrated University Program.--The Committee recommends 
$15,000,000 for the Integrated University Program, of which not 
less than $5,000,000 is for grants to support research projects 
that do not align with programmatic missions but are critical 
to maintaining the discipline of nuclear science.
    Rulemaking.--The Committee directs the Commission to 
provide within 90 days after the enactment of this act, and 
quarterly thereafter, an update of appendix G of the budget 
request regarding planned rulemakings.
    Reporting Requirement.--The Committee directs the 
Commission to continue the reporting required in the 
explanatory statement for the Energy and Water Development 
Appropriations Act, 2016, relating to progress against the 
Commission's licensing goals and right-sizing commitments.
    Subsequent License Renewal.--The Committee continues to 
encourage the Commission to act expeditiously to ensure that a 
fair, effective, predictable, and efficient process for 
subsequent licensing is available for licensees actively 
planning to pursue second license renewal, including timely 
issuance of updated regulatory guidance to support receipt of 
the lead application in the 2018 timeframe.

    The Committee recommends $12,129,000 for the Office of 
Inspector General, the same as the budget request, which is 
offset by revenues estimated at $10,044,000, for a net 
appropriation of $2,085,000. The Office of Inspector General 
serves both the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Defense 
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, and the recommendation 
includes $969,000 for that purpose that is not available from 
fee revenues.
    The Committee encourages the Office of Inspector General to 
examine, through its audit program, additional savings and 
efficiencies at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that could be 
realized through consolidations or other streamlining.
