                                PURPOSE

    The purpose of this bill is to provide appropriations for 
fiscal year 2016, beginning October 1, 2015, and ending 
September 30, 2016, 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 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 2016 budget estimates for the bill total 
$36,646,014,000 in new budget (obligational) authority. The 
recommendation of the Committee totals $36,118,168,000. This is 
$527,846,000 below the budget estimates and $1,337,891,000 
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 2016 appropriations bill. Witnesses included officials and 
representatives of the Federal agencies under the 
subcommittee's jurisdiction.
    The recommendations for fiscal year 2016, therefore, have 
been developed after careful consideration of available data.

                         Votes in the Committee

    By a vote of ---- to ---- the Committee on ----------, 
recommended that the bill, as amended, be reported to the 
Senate.

                          INTRODUCTION

    The Committee recommends $35,368,000,000 for the Energy and 
Water Development appropriations bill for fiscal year 2016, 
including adjustments, an increase of $1,165,723,000 over 
fiscal year 2015. Within the amount recommended, 
$19,002,000,000 is classified as defense and $16,366,000,000 is 
classified as non-defense spending. The Committee 
recommendation complies with the Budget Control Act of 2011, as 
amended.
    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 
March and April 2015 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 an opportunity to present their 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 
several Federal agencies. 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 provides additional 
Congressional control points in the recommendation for the 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The Committee describes these 
new requirements in detail in the relevant sections.

                                TITLE I

                      DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--CIVIL

                         DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

                       Corps of Engineers--Civil

                       OVERVIEW OF RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $5,499,500,000 for the Corps of 
Engineers, an increase of $767,500,000 from the budget request. 
The Committee also recommends rescinding $128,000,000 of 
unobligated prior year balances, for a net appropriation of 
$5,371,500,000.
    The Committee recommendation sets priorities by supporting 
our Nation's infrastructure. Specifically, the Committee 
recommendation provides adequate appropriations to utilize all 
of the estimated fiscal year 2016 revenues from the Inland 
Waterways Trust Fund and meets the target prescribed in the 
Water Resources Reform and Development Act [WRRDA] of 2014 for 
projects eligible for Harbor Maintenance Trust Funds. This 
level of funding will help modernize our Nation's ports and 
waterways as we prepare for completion of the Panama Canal 
expansion.

                              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 $87,000,000,000, which equates 
to a return of about $16 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, 236 lock 
        chambers, and 926 harbors which handle over 2.3 billion 
        tons of cargo annually;
  --flood risk management infrastructure, including 707 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.

                   PROGRAM COORDINATION AND EXECUTION

    The Committee expects the Corps of Engineers to execute the 
civil works program in accordance with congressional direction 
included in this report and the accompanying act. This includes 
moving individual projects forward in accordance with the funds 
annually appropriated. However, the Committee realizes that 
many factors outside the Corps of Engineers' control may 
dictate the progress of any given project or study. The 
Committee directs the Corps of Engineers to notify the 
Committee of any major deviations as soon as practicable, 
including a detailed justification and updates of cost, 
schedule, or scope for the project or study. A major deviation 
is defined as any reprogramming action that requires Committee 
notification as identified in the Energy and Water Development 
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015, or a schedule 
change that causes completions, as identified in the fiscal 
year 2015 or fiscal year 2016 budget requests to be delayed 
beyond the fiscal year stated.

                       FISCAL YEAR 2016 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 a work plan, not later than 
45 days after the date of enactment of this act, to the 
Committee 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 2016. 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.

                              PROCUREMENT

    The Committee remains concerned about the high unemployment 
rate of the Nation's construction industry. Despite the efforts 
of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy to increase 
communication between procurement officers and industry, the 
Committee believes that local contractors very often do not 
know about nor have the opportunity to compete for local 
construction projects funded in this act. Therefore, the 
Committee directs the Secretary to ensure that regional/
district offices responsible for construction projects inform 
and engage local construction industry contractors, especially 
small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and women-owned 
businesses, about Federal procurement opportunities and the 
bidding process. The Committee requests a clear outreach plan 
from the Secretary no later than 90 days after enactment of 
this act. This plan should modernize traditional outreach 
methods to reach a broader group of local contractors.

                             REPROGRAMMING

    The Committee is retaining the reprogramming legislation 
provided in the Energy and Water Development and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015.

                    NEW STARTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016

    The Committee recommends new starts in both the 
Investigations and Construction accounts for fiscal year 2016. 
The Committee decision is based, in part, on the budget request 
providing funding to complete 11 feasibility studies, 2 
preconstruction engineering design [PED] studies, and 9 
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 10 new feasibility 
study starts, and 6 new construction starts, including the 
following 4 proposed in the administration's budget request for 
fiscal year 2016: Port Lions Harbor, Alaska; Coyote & Berryessa 
Creeks, California; Ohio River Shoreline, Paducah, Kentucky; 
and, Marsh Lake, Minnesota.
    The Corps of Engineers is directed to propose, not later 
than 45 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 2016 Work Plan''.

                          SAVINGS AND SLIPPAGE

    Savings and slippage [S&S] is a budgetary term that 
recognizes that nothing ever goes completely as planned. The 
Committee recognizes that many changes may occur between the 
Corps of Engineers' budget formulation--beginning 22 months 
before it is submitted to the Committee--and when funds are 
actually appropriated. Although the Committee has attempted to 
identify and address changes through coordination with the 
Corps of Engineers, the Committee realizes that actual 
appropriations may not be enacted until later in the year. 
Accordingly, the Committee has included, as in prior years, a 
reasonable percentage of S&S within Investigations, 
Construction, and Operations and Maintenance as a way to 
accommodate additional project needs, even if funding is 
insufficient. Upon applying the S&S amounts, normal 
reprogramming procedures should be undertaken to account for 
schedule slippages, accelerations, or other unforeseen 
conditions.

                   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.

                         ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY

    The Comptroller General of the Government Accountability 
Office is directed to study the cumulative economic impact of 
all the shallow draft ports on the Mississippi River between 
St. Louis, Missouri, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The study 
should include the revenue and jobs created locally and 
nationally, the importance of these ports to inland waterways 
shippers, the economic effects that would result from any 
single port closing down, the economic effects that would 
result from all ports closing down, the increase in barge 
traffic that these ports may see with the expansion of the 
Panama Canal, and the ability or inability of these ports to 
meet that expansion under the current funding environment. 
Finally, the study shall make a recommendation regarding the 
establishment of one funding stream for dredging these small 
inland ports as compared to historical funding mechanisms.

                             INVESTIGATIONS

Appropriations, 2015..................................   $122,000,000
Budget estimate, 2016................................      97,000,000
House allowance.......................................    113,000,000
Committee recommendation..............................    109,000,000

    The Committee recommends $109,000,000 for Investigations, 
an increase of $12,000,000 from the budget request. The 
Committee's recommendation allows the Corps of Engineers to 
begin up to 10 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. Further, the budget 
request proposes funding for only 51 specifically authorized 
feasibility studies, as compared to over 100 studies receiving 
appropriations in fiscal year 2015. Additional funding 
recommended for Investigations will allow a more balanced 
planning program.
    The Committee is also concerned about the administration's 
failure to efficiently fund ongoing studies to completion, with 
completion being defined as the end of the PED phase. The 
budget request does not include funding to move any of the 34 
feasibility studies that were completed in the prior fiscal 
year into the PED study phase. If the Committee were to adopt 
the budget request without modification, a backlog of at least 
40 studies would be created from just the past 2 fiscal years. 
The Committee recognizes that the administration's budget does 
not provide adequate 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 
10 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. Not less than 50 percent of the 
additional funds recommended for Investigations shall be used 
to seamlessly continue studies into the PED phase, which have a 
Chief's Report dated prior to October 1, 2015.

                        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.

    Upper Mississippi River Comprehensive Plan.--The Committee 
understands that during the 2011 flooding on the Mississippi 
River, much of the damage was concentrated on the Upper 
Mississippi River Basin, where there is no final flood risk 
management plan. An appropriate Upper Mississippi River 
Comprehensive Plan would help work toward flood risk management 
goals. The Committee directs the Corps of Engineers to provide, 
not later than 60 days after the enactment of this act, a 
comprehensive survey of the authorization and funding 
requirements necessary for the Corps of Engineers to continue 
work on the Upper Mississippi River Comprehensive Plan, 
including work on alternative scenarios for the 500 year flood 
(included in the current plan, Plan H). The report shall also 
outline the perceived challenges to, and recommendations for, 
working toward the creation of an overall flood risk management 
plan for the entire main stem of the Mississippi River.
    Mobile Harbor, Alabama Limited Reevaluation Report.--The 
Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil 
Works [Secretary] to budget for this project at the rate 
indicated in Section 110 of the Energy and Water Development 
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015. In future budget 
submissions, the Secretary shall adhere to Congressional 
direction included in statute regarding this project. The 
Committee expects the Secretary to allocate funds provided in 
this act in a manner that is consistent with statutory cost 
sharing requirements.
    Upper Mississippi River-Illinois Waterway System.--The 
Committee recognizes that the bipartisan support for the 
Navigation and Ecosystem Sustainability Program [NESP], 
spanning almost a decade, has not resulted in NESP's 
implementation. The Committee recognizes that NESP is now so 
delayed that new economic and cost-benefit analyses must be 
performed before it can move forward. The Committee also 
recognizes that although the Corps of Engineers has 
reprogrammed funding into NESP, this funding has not been used 
to deliver updated analysis.
    Consequently, the Committee directs the Corps of Engineers, 
not later than 30 days after the enactment of this act, to 
provide a report detailing the scope, schedule, and budget for 
delivering the updated economic analysis and cost 
recertification so the Corps of Engineers can begin 
implementing NESP.
    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 is aware that the Corps of Engineers is 
scheduled to complete the decision document in May 2015, which 
will inform design and construction work. The Committee 
encourages the Corps of Engineers to uphold its ESA and Tribal 
treaty responsibilities by requesting sufficient funding in 
future budgets to implement the BiOp requirements and complete 
construction by 2020.
    Puget Sound Nearshore Study.--The Committee is aware that 
the Corps of Engineers completed public review on the draft 
Puget Sound Nearshore Feasibility Report and Environmental 
Impact Statement [Report] in December 2014. If the final Report 
does not identify an implementable Federal project, the 
Committee encourages the Corps of Engineers to identify other 
existing authorities and resources that could assist with 
timely construction of alternatives included in the Report. The 
Committee further encourages the Corps of Engineers to 
acknowledge early action restoration efforts by the State of 
Washington as part of the overall plan, including cost share 
obligations when a project cost share agreement is executed.
    Tribal Communities Located in Remote Areas.--The Committee 
recognizes that Tribal communities located in remote areas that 
experience severe, weather-related conditions that jeopardize 
public health and safety, face a significant disadvantage in 
the Corps of Engineers' utilization of benefit-cost ratios in 
the budgeting process. The Committee urges the Corps of 
Engineers to consider Federal trust and treaty obligations and 
the need to protect public health and safety in severe weather 
situations in determining future budget priorities.
    National Mall and Federal Triangle Flood Protection.--The 
Committee expects the Corps of Engineers to provide information 
and cooperate with other Federal agencies, the District of 
Columbia government, and nonprofit interests, including the 
National Coalition to Save Our Mall and Federal City Council, 
to address ongoing flood risks facing the Federal Triangle/
National Mall area. The Committee directs the Corps of 
Engineers to provide unclassified information to the 
aforementioned interests for the purposes of developing a 
report on a proposed cost-neutral, public-private partnership 
approach to combine flood protection with underground visitor 
amenities and parking in order to address flood risks to the 
Federal Triangle/National Mall area, as well as the need to 
improve visitor access to National Mall museums, monuments, and 
activities.
    Aquatic Nuisance Species.--The Committee is aware that the 
Corps of Engineers is capable of utilizing funding beyond what 
was in the administration's fiscal year 2016 budget request to 
further ongoing studies, including ongoing projects to address 
the threat of aquatic nuisance species in the Great Lakes 
Basin. The Committee encourages the Corps of Engineers to 
consider funding the program to address the threat of aquatic 
nuisance species in the Great Lakes Basin to its full 
capability in the fiscal year 2016 work plan.
    The Committee further understands that under the Great 
Lakes and Mississippi River Interbasin Study, the Corps of 
Engineers has initiated a feasibility study to investigate 
near-term options and technologies to prevent the one-way 
transfer of aquatic nuisance species from the Mississippi River 
Basin into the Great Lakes Basin. Considering the pressing and 
potentially devastating harm aquatic nuisance species pose to 
the Great Lakes fishery and economy, the Committee is concerned 
that the Corps issued a waiver from the 3x3x3 rule to allow the 
feasibility study to take more than 3 years. The Committee 
believes that the Brandon Road Lock and Dam offers great 
promise as a single point to control the upstream transfer of 
aquatic nuisance species and that delays would be a major 
setback. Therefore, the Committee urges the Corps of Engineers 
to consider alternative ways to accelerate the feasibility 
study and to complete it within 3 years.
    Research and Development, Additional Topic--Urban Flood 
Damage Reduction and Stream Restoration in Arid Regions.--The 
Committee encourages the Corps of Engineers' research and 
development [R&D] program to 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.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $12,000,000 in additional funds for 
Investigations. From these additional funds, the Corps of 
Engineers is authorized to begin up to 10 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 2016 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 should give higher priority to those 
        studies that have an identifiable sponsor with the 
        ability to provide any necessary cost share for the 
        study phase, and are regional in scope, have the 
        potential to provide greater national benefits; address 
        endangered species concerns; or provide protection to 
        large numbers of our citizens.
  --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 2016.
  --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.

                              CONSTRUCTION

Appropriations, 2015....................................  $1,639,489,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................   1,172,000,000
House allowance.........................................   1,635,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,641,000,000

    The Committee recommends $1,641,000,000 for Construction, 
an increase of $469,000,000 from the budget request. The 
Committee's recommendation allows the Corps of Engineers to 
select up to 6 new construction starts to begin in fiscal year 
2016.

                              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 
$469,000,000 in additional funding for ongoing work.

                               NEW STARTS

    The Committee recommends up to 6 new construction starts, 
including the 4 proposed in the budget request.

                      INLAND WATERWAYS TRUST FUND

    The Committee recognizes the administration has not had 
adequate time to react to the Inland Waterways Trust Fund 
[IWTF] revenues that were expanded by the passage of the Able 
Act and expanded authority received in the Water Resources 
Reform and Development Act of 2014 [WRRDA]. Therefore, the 
Committee recommends an additional $108,600,000 for inland 
waterway projects to continue with construction on the priority 
projects as designated in the Inland Marine Transportation 
Systems [IMTS] Capital Projects Business Model Final Report, 
dated April 13, 2010. The Committee is aware that the Corps of 
Engineers is developing a new report describing a 20-year 
program for making capital investments on the inland and 
intracoastal waterways, pursuant to WRRDA section 2002(d). This 
report is due to be submitted to Congress in June 2015. The 
Committee requires an opportunity to review any new report 
prior to the Corps of Engineers incorporating any part of the 
report into funding decisions. Therefore, when allocating the 
fiscal year 2016 additional funding provided in the Remaining 
Items--Inland Waterways Trust Fund Projects account, the Corps 
of Engineers shall not use the report being developed pursuant 
to WRRDA. The Corps of Engineers shall continue to use, as 
appropriate, the IMTS report as the applicable 20-year plan.
    With the exception of the Olmsted Locks and Dam project on 
the Ohio River between Kentucky and Illinois [Olmsted project], 
the construction and major rehabilitation of designated 
projects for inland and coastal waterways derives one-half of 
the funding from the IWTF and one-half of the funding from the 
General Treasury. All funds are appropriated in the 
Construction account. The cost sharing for the Olmsted project 
has been modified from the traditional 50/50 cost share to 85 
percent from the General Treasury and 15 percent from the IWTF. 
The net effect of this change allows additional investments on 
other inland waterways projects that are cost shared with the 
IWTF. The Committee expects the administration to address these 
increased investment opportunities for the inland waterways 
system in future budget submissions.

    The table below displays the budget request and Committee's 
recommendation for Construction:

    Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Dispersal Barrier, 
Illinois.--The issue of hydrologic separation should 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 $4,000,000 for this program, which is 
the only nationwide R&D program to address invasive aquatic 
plants. The Committee urges the Corps of Engineers to continue 
to support cost shared aquatic plant management programs.
    Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge.--The Corps of 
Engineers has completed the final cabin sale at the Charles M. 
Russell National Wildlife Refuge. The Committee instructs the 
Secretary to reconcile all remaining funds in accordance with 
the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge Enhancement Act 
of 2000. The Committee requests final accounting of the 
proceeds and administrative costs reimbursed to the Corps of 
Engineers under 808(b) within 1 year of enactment of this act.
    Continuing Authorities Program.--The Committee recommends 
$20,500,000 for the Continuing Authorities Program [CAP], an 
increase of $17,000,000 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 seven of the nine sections rather than only 
the four sections proposed in the budget request. The Committee 
has not recommended funding for section 208, as these projects 
can be accommodated under the authority of section 205. The 
Committee has not recommended funding for section 103 because 
the Corps of Engineers is projecting an $8,000,000 carryover of 
unobligated balances from prior appropriations.
    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.
    Restoration of Abandoned Mines.--The Corps of Engineers is 
directed to continue working closely with Federal land 
management agencies, western States, and Tribes with abandoned 
non-coal mine sites to cost-effectively address the greatest 
number of those sites presenting threats to public health and 
safety.
    Public-Private Partnerships.--The Committee notes that the 
Secretary and the Chief of Engineers expressed strong support 
for a public-private partnerships [Partnership] as a method to 
reduce the Federal cost of future construction projects. The 
acronyms P3, P4, etcetera are interchangeable and represent the 
number of public and/or private entities that comprise the 
Partnership. The Committee believes the Corps of Engineers 
should demonstrate the value of projects that use a Partnership 
model and directs that, of the six new construction starts, at 
least one shall be either a navigation or flood risk management 
project that utilizes such a Partnership. The Committee further 
directs that the selected Partnership project should have a 
Chief's Report showing a benefit-cost ratio greater than one 
for the Federal investment only, but shall not be subject to 
any other restrictions applicable to traditional construction 
new starts to ensure that multiple projects qualify for 
selection as a Partnership project.
    Reimbursements.--The Committee directs the Secretary to 
prioritize the Corps of Engineers' reimbursement obligations 
based on projects with signed project cooperation agreements. 
The Secretary shall demonstrate plans for the additional 
funding provided by Congress to meet the project cooperation 
agreement and Federal Government's fiscal responsibilities.
    Metro East Saint Louis, Illinois.--This levee 
rehabilitation project will help protect communities in the 
Metro East region from rising waters on the Mississippi River. 
The non-Federal sponsors remain very interested in continuing 
implementation of the project, have raised sufficient cost 
share, and should be given heightened cooperation by the Corps 
of Engineers. The Committee urges the Corps of Engineers to 
enter a cost share agreement with the non-Federal sponsors.
    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.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $469,000,000 in additional funds for 
Construction. 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 2016 Work Plan''. 
Additionally, the Corps of Engineers shall comply with the 
following direction in allocating funds made available for 
Construction:
  --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 2016; 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.
    In prioritizing projects for environmental infrastructure 
assistance, the Committee recognizes that these authorities 
were originally created to assist communities that were unable 
to compete well in the Statewide revolving fund authorities 
under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Agency. 
While the Committee believes it is appropriate to prioritize 
those projects with the greater economic impact, it recognizes 
that such rigid criteria may exclude rural underserved 
communities with greater needs and projects located in towns, 
cities, and municipalities experiencing compliance difficulties 
with Federal environmental regulations. When allocating these 
funds, the Committee encourages the Corps of Engineers to 
consider counties or parishes where the average family income 
is below the national poverty level.

    The Committee's recommendation includes not less than 
$1,000,000 for the competitive procurement of modern land 
surveying equipment for Corps of Engineers districts.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work--Flood Control.--Within 
the amounts available for flood control, the Committee 
recommendation provides not less than $25,000,000 for ongoing 
construction projects outside of the Lower Mississippi River 
main stem that were not included in the administration's 
request, and which provide benefits and value to the Nation.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work--Other Authorized 
Purposes.--Within the amounts available for other authorized 
purposes, the Committee recommendation provides not less than 
$3,000,000 for maintenance projects with recreational or 
environmental stewardship components. Funding associated with 
this category should be used to perform routine and non-routine 
operations and maintenance of facilities that are both 
recreational and educational, or to continue management of 
mitigation features in order to meet requirements set forth 
under the Corps of Engineers' plans.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work--Dredging.--In 
considering dredging projects for funding, the Corps of 
Engineers shall give priority to annual tonnage and the total 
work capability that can be completed in fiscal year 2016.

    Lowell Creek Tunnel, Alaska.--The Committee recognizes the 
current problems with the existing Lowell Creek Tunnel and 
encourages the Corps of Engineers to undertake a study for an 
alternative method of flood diversion for Lowell Canyon. The 
Water Resources Development Act of 2007 transferred operations 
and maintenance to the Corps of Engineers until a new 
alternative was built, or for 15 years, whichever was earlier. 
This bill includes a general provision to extend the Corps of 
Engineers' operation and maintenance responsibility for this 
project for another 5 years. The Corps of Engineers has not 
progressed towards developing an alternative, and the City of 
Seward cannot afford the estimated $1,500,000 per year in 
operations and maintenance costs of the tunnel.
    Missouri River Fish and Wildlife Recovery.--It has come to 
the Committee's attention that the Corps of Engineers has 
listed the Missouri River Fish and Wildlife Recovery program 
under the navigation business line. The Missouri River Fish and 
Wildlife Recovery program is associated with flood plain 
mitigation and compliance with endangered species protection 
requirements. The Committee seeks to understand how these 
activities relate to the promotion of navigation. The Corps of 
Engineers has recently classified the program under the 
navigation business line. The Committee directs that, within 60 
days of the date of enactment of this act, the Corps of 
Engineers shall submit to the Committee the reasons for this 
classification. The Corps of Engineers shall describe its plans 
to ensure that it does not impact anticipated or needed work 
under the Bank Stabilization and Navigation Program.
    WRRDA Section 1039--Invasive Species.--Funding is provided 
for watercraft inspection stations, as authorized by WRRDA 
section 1039. The Secretary, in consultation with the States of 
Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, is required to 
establish watercraft inspection stations in the vicinity of 
reservoirs operated by the Corps of Engineers, including for 
boat inspection stations in the Columbia River Basin States. 
These inspection stations are the principal line of defense 
against the spread of aquatic species at reservoirs operated 
and maintained by the Secretary, such as entry of zebra and 
quagga mussels into the Flathead Basin in Montana.
    Monitoring of Completed Navigation Projects.--The Committee 
recommends additional funding for the Corps of Engineers to 
monitor aging navigation infrastructure to ensure that it 
continues operating as planned.
    Operations and Maintenance--Fisheries.--The Committee is 
concerned that a reduction in or elimination of navigational 
lock operations is having a negative impact on 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. 
The Committee provides $2,000,000 to continue external fish 
behavior research to determine the appropriate time, frequency, 
and number of mitigation lockages; how to increase the numbers 
of fish entering locks during navigational and mitigation 
operations; and how to get fish to stay in locks for the 
optimal period of time. This research should be conducted in 
coordination with both the Corps of Engineers and the Fish and 
Wildlife Service.
    Levels of Service.--The Committee is aware of recent 
decisions to reduce service levels at locks across the country. 
The Committee notes that the Corps of Engineers is authorized 
to open locks independently of the established levels of 
service [LoS] for specific and unique activities where such 
opening and closing will be advantageous to fostering economic 
and community development. The Committee remains concerned 
about limited budgetary resources for infrastructure 
improvements on the Nation's locks and dams, and encourages the 
Corps of Engineers to consider all options within its statutory 
authority to collect additional funds. Such efforts should 
include acceptance of contributed funds under existing 
authorities, to maintain robust lock operations. Such efforts 
should also include public-private partnerships, which include 
State agencies, to ensure locks are safe and operational for 
economic growth and community development. Local economies 
benefit from using locks and dams for commercial and 
recreational uses that are unrelated to commercial barge 
traffic. The Committee acknowledges that the Corps of Engineers 
has given local communities assurances that, within its current 
statutory authority, the Corps of Engineers will be sensitive 
to economic impacts on local economies.
    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 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.
    Western Drought Contingency Plans.--The Committee notes 
that the Corps of Engineers carries out water control 
management activities for Corps of Engineers and non-Corps of 
Engineers projects as required by Federal laws and directives, 
and that these activities are governed by the establishment of 
water control plans. The Committee understands that many of 
these plans and manuals were developed decades ago and are 
required to be revised as necessary to conform to changing 
requirements. Continuous examination should be made of 
regulation schedules and possible need for storage reallocation 
within existing authority and constraints. Emphasis should be 
placed on evaluating current or anticipated conditions that 
could require deviation from normal release schedules as part 
of drought contingency plans.
    Not later than 90 days after enactment of this act, the 
Secretary shall provide to the Committee a report including the 
following information for any western State under a 
gubernatorial drought declaration during water year 2015: (1) a 
list of Corps of Engineers and non-Corps of Engineers (section 
7 of the 1944 Flood Control Act) projects that have a Corps of 
Engineers developed water control plan; (2) the year the 
original water control manual was approved; (3) the year for 
any subsequent revisions to the project's water control plan 
and manual; (4) a list of projects where operational deviations 
for drought contingency have been requested and the status of 
the request; (5) how water conservation and water quality 
improvements were addressed; (6) a list of projects where 
permanent changes to storage allocations have been requested 
and the status of the request.
    Disposal of Dredged Sediment.--No funds recommended in this 
act may be used for open lake disposal of dredged sediment 
unless such disposal meets water and environmental standards 
agreed to by the administrator of a State's water permitting 
agency and is consistent with a State's Coastal Zone Management 
Plan. If this standard is not met, the Corps of Engineers will 
maintain its long-standing funding obligations for dredged 
material management.
    Bayport Flare--Houston Ship Channel, Texas.--The Committee 
encourages the Corps of Engineers to utilize previously 
appropriated funds to expeditiously complete necessary studies 
to address safety and efficiency issues in a timely manner to 
avoid property damage, injury, loss of life and economic 
impacts on nationally significant deep draft, high commercial 
use channels.
    WRRDA Section 6002.--The Committee supports the Corps of 
Engineers performing a review of its inventory, in accordance 
with WRRDA section 6002.
    WRRDA Section 4001.--The Committee urges the Secretary to 
follow through on the direction provided by Congress in WRRDA 
section 4001 to find and implement the means necessary to 
financially support the Susquehanna, Delaware, and Potomac 
River Basin Commissions. Congress has made clear its intent 
that the 3 River Basin Commissions be supported and expects the 
Corps of Engineers to act appropriately.
    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 directs the Corps of Engineers to issue 
implementation guidance for section 2106 within 30 days of 
enactment of this act. 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.
    Monitoring Requirement.--The Committee directs the Corps of 
Engineers to monitor the withdrawals for its existing water 
contracts in the Alabama-Coosa-Tallapoosa [ACT] river basin. 
Upon determination of an exceedance of the contracted amounts, 
the Corps of Engineers shall make notifications as required in 
the contract and notify the Committee within 30 days of such 
determination.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--The fiscal year 2016 
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 to maintain 
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 Coast Guard or other water safety or police force 
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 does 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 criteria should include the economic impact 
that these projects provide to local and regional economies, in 
particular, those with national defense or public health and 
safety importance.

of the Interior, and up to $1,500,000 for the Commission's 
administrative expenses. This allows Reclamation to develop 
water supply facilities that will continue to sustain economic 
growth and an enhanced quality of life in the western States, 
the fastest growing region in the United States.

                         Bureau of Reclamation


                       Overview of Recommendation

    The Committee recommends $1,133,159,000 for the Bureau of 
Reclamation [Reclamation], an increase of $34,491,000 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.

                   PROGRAM COORDINATION AND EXECUTION

    The Committee expects Reclamation to execute its program in 
accordance with congressional direction included in this report 
and the accompanying act. This includes moving individual 
projects forward in accordance with the funds annually 
appropriated. However, the Committee realizes that many factors 
outside Reclamation's control may dictate the progress of any 
given project or study. The Committee directs Reclamation to 
notify the Committee of any major deviations as soon as 
practicable, including a detailed justification and updates of 
cost, schedule, or scope for the project or study. A major 
deviation is defined as any reprogramming action that requires 
Committee notification as identified in the Energy and Water 
Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015, or, 
a schedule change that causes completions, as identified in the 
fiscal year 2015 or fiscal year 2016 budget requests, to be 
delayed beyond the fiscal year stated.
    The Committee has divided underfinancing between the 
Resources Management subaccount and the Facilities Operation 
and Maintenance subaccount. Upon applying the underfinanced 
amounts, normal reprogramming procedures should be undertaken 
to account for schedule slippages, accelerations, or other 
unforeseen conditions.

                       FISCAL YEAR 2016 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 45 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 2016. 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, 2015.

                                DROUGHT

    The Committee is particularly concerned about the continued 
drought in the West. The U.S. Drought Monitor for May 12, 2015, 
shows that all Reclamation States are currently suffering from 
drought conditions. Ten of the 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 recognizes that drought is a difficult 
condition to address while it is occurring. However, there are 
many things that can be done to stretch available water 
supplies. Reclamation and the Department of the Interior are 
encouraged to use all of the flexibility and tools at their 
disposal to mitigate the impacts of this 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, 
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

Appropriations, 2015....................................    $978,131,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................     805,157,000
House allowance.........................................     950,640,000
Committee recommendation................................     988,131,000

    The Committee recommends $988,131,000 for Water and Related 
Resources, an increase of $182,974,000 from the budget request. 
Within this amount, the Committee recommendation includes 
funding 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 2016 budget 
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 2017 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 early 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 no later than November 
30, 2016.
    Safety of Dams Act of 1978, as amended.--The Committee 
reiterates that Sisk Dam in California and its related 
facilities are owned by the United States. If determined that 
corrective actions are needed to reduce risk from seismic 
activity, then, under the Safety of Dams Act of 1978, as 
amended, 85 percent of all costs of those corrective actions 
should be a nonreimbursable cost of the United States. The 
other 15 percent of costs should be allocated to authorized 
State and Federal purposes of the project pursuant to 43 U.S.C. 
Sec. 508(c).
    Scoggins Dam, Tualatin Project, Oregon.--As part of its Dam 
Safety Program, Reclamation is working on a Corrective Action 
Alternatives Study [CAS] for Scoggins Dam, the main feature of 
the Tualatin Project. Working with local stakeholders, 
Reclamation is evaluating how water supply objectives, such as 
increased storage, may be coordinated with CAS implementation. 
Phase 2 of the CAS, which is scheduled for completion in fiscal 
year 2016, should evaluate alternatives including replacement 
structures near the current dam to address Safety of Dams Act 
of 1978 modifications and additional storage benefits. These 
alternatives may reduce the obligation for both the Federal 
Government and stakeholders. As requested in fiscal year 2015, 
the Committee has included authorizing language to increase the 
cost ceiling for the Safety of Dams program and allow for 
concurrent safety modifications and additional storage capacity 
if determined by the Secretary of the Interior to be feasible 
and in the national interest.
    Water Hyacinth.--The Committee notes that the aquatic 
invasive water hyacinth has had harmful effects on navigation, 
trade and commerce, the environment, wildlife, and water 
supplies in the western United States. The Committee directs 
Reclamation to coordinate with the United States Department of 
Agriculture, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, National 
Marine Fisheries Service, the Corps of Engineers, State and 
local authorities, water districts, water contractors, and not-
for-profit organizations to establish best practices and 
cooperative arrangements that could be implemented annually to 
help mitigate and eliminate the spread of water hyacinth in 
waterways in Reclamation States.
    Non-native Predators.--The Committee is encouraged by the 
steps that Reclamation has taken, in consultation with the 
United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Marine 
Fisheries Service, States, and other stakeholders, to evaluate 
and implement projects that could improve protection and 
recovery of endangered salmon and smelt. The Committee directs 
Reclamation to continue consultations with Federal, State, and 
local agencies to develop additional activities that could aid 
in mitigating or removing non-native predators that prey on 
endangered salmon and smelt.
    Mni Wiconi Project, South Dakota.--Within the funds 
provided for the operations and maintenance of the project, 
Reclamation may use funds for upgrading existing community 
systems that have always been intended to be part of the 
project. Additionally, within 60 days of enactment of this act, 
Reclamation shall provide a report on a plan to identify 
existing resources and complete the needed community system 
upgrades. This plan shall be coordinated with the United States 
Departments of Agriculture, Health and Human Services, Housing 
and Urban Development, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and 
Environmental Protection Agency.
    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.
    Additional Funding for Water and Related Resources Work.--
The Committee recommendation includes an additional 
$182,974,000 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 ongoing work, including pre-construction 
activities, on projects which provide new or existing water 
supplies through additional infrastructure; provided, however, 
that priority should be given in allocating funds to ongoing 
work on authorized projects for which environmental compliance 
has been completed. Funding provided under the heading Drought 
Emergency Assistance Program may be allocated to any authorized 
purposes, but shall be allocated to those activities that will 
have the most direct, most immediate, and largest impact on 
extending limited water supplies during current drought 
conditions. Reclamation is encouraged to use all available 
authorities to provide for additional water supplies through 
conservation, minor changes to the operations of existing 
projects, drilling emergency wells, or other means authorized 
under current law. This additional funding may be used alone or 
in combination with any other funding provided in a program, 
project, or activity.
    Buried Metallic Water Pipe.--Last year, the Committee 
directed Reclamation to, among other things, conduct an 
objective, independently peer-reviewed analysis of pipeline 
reliability standards. Reclamation has yet to complete this 
study, which is of particular concern to the Committee because 
Reclamation's use of Technical Memorandum 8140-CC-2004-1 
(``Corrosion Considerations for Buried Metallic Water Pipe'') 
continues to hold different materials to different standards of 
reliability and increases project costs. The Committee directs 
that until this study is completed, Reclamation shall not use 
the memorandum as the sole basis to deny funding or approval of 
a project or to disqualify any material from use in highly 
corrosive soils. The pipeline reliability study must provide an 
objective, independently peer-reviewed analysis of pipeline 
reliability standards and be completed as quickly as possible. 
Reclamation is reminded that this study, including all data 
assembly and analysis must be conducted by an appropriate, 
independent third-party. Reclamation and its contractors 
involved in these efforts are expected to protect business-
sensitive data that is collected during this process.

                CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT RESTORATION FUND

Appropriations, 2015....................................     $56,995,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................      49,528,000
House allowance.........................................      49,528,000
Committee recommendation................................      49,528,000

    The Committee recommends $49,528,000 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)

House allowance.........................................      37,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      37,000,000

    The Committee recommends $37,000,000 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.

House allowance.........................................      59,500,000
Committee recommendation................................      58,500,000

    The Committee recommends $58,500,000 for Policy and 
Administration, a decrease of $1,000,000 from the budget 
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, 2015....................................................
Budget estimate, 2016...................................    $112,483,000
House allowance.........................................................
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 
and Related Resources account as similar work and funding has 
been previously provided in that account.

                      SAN JOAQUIN RESTORATION FUND

Appropriations, 2015....................................................
Budget estimate, 2016...................................     $35,000,000

                               TITLE III

                          DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

                       Overview of Recommendation

    The Committee recommends $29,429,115,000 for the Department 
of Energy, a decrease of $1,098,021,000 from the budget 
request. Within the funding recommendation, $18,956,437,000 is 
classified as defense and $10,472,678,000 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 grid 
modernization, supercritical CO2, subsurface 
engineering, energy-water nexus, and cybersecurity would allow 
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. The Secretary is 
further directed to provide the Committee, not later than 180 
days after the enactment of this act, a comprehensive program 
plan for crosscutting initiatives covering the next five fiscal 
years, including proposed funding requirements and goals of 
each new initiative.
    Grid Modernization.--The Committee supports the Secretary's 
decision to further coordinate what has been fragmented 
research and development efforts on grid modernization into a 
crosscutting initiative, as well as the effort to establish a 
laboratory consortium to assist in this coordination. 
University research teams and small-to-medium sized companies, 
which are at the core of future power delivery systems 
innovation, generally lack the research and development budgets 
and advanced test capabilities for developing new high-power 
prototypes and devices needed to integrate increasingly large 
loads of renewable-sourced energy onto the grid. The Committee 
encourages the Secretary to leverage existing national assets 
for technical assistance and testing centers for grid and power 
technologies.
    The Committee is 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 valuable 
role the national laboratories can play for advancements in 
electric infrastructure to meet our Nation's energy needs and 
is supportive of the grid modernization crosscut and the work 
of the National Laboratory Grid Modernization Consortium. The 
Committee also encourages the Department's continued 
coordination to ensure grid-related research across the 
Department complex is not duplicative. In addition, the 
Committee directs the Secretary to provide within 180 days of 
enactment of this act, a detailed implementation plan on the 
grid crosscut, detailing funding requirements, specific 
objectives, and delineation of responsibilities among the 
program offices within the Department.
    Energy-Water Nexus.--The Committee recognizes there is a 
clear need to obtain reliable, current, and comprehensive data 
on energy-for-water and water-for-energy use. Examples include 
data on water use by power plants, water for fuel extraction 
and liquid fuel production, energy use by water utilities, and 
water reuse and replacement. More accurate data and analysis 
can improve informed decision making; help prioritize 
investments in energy-water infrastructure; contribute to the 
research and development of related technologies; and lead to 
more efficient and sustainable water and energy practices. 
Transitioning to a more efficient water and energy 
infrastructure will strengthen the manufacturing and production 
sectors. In order to better understand water use for power 
generation and fuel processing, the Committee recommends that 
the Energy Information Administration [EIA] account for water 
use in the energy policy analysis it undertakes.

                       Quadrennial Energy Review

    The first installment of the Quadrennial Energy Review 
[QER], as directed by the president in January 2014, was 
released in April 2015. The QER makes recommendations to 
modernize and improve our energy architecture and 
infrastructure, specifically in the areas of transmission, 
storage, and distribution [TS&D]. Modernizing our nation's 
aging, extensive, vulnerable, and high-demand infrastructure is 
made even more challenging due to our increasingly diverse 
energy supply and competing uses of ports and railways for 
energy transportation. Successfully addressing these critical 
issues will require coordination among many levels of 
government and private industry, and the Committee believes the 
Secretary must solicit and rely on well-informed input from a 
variety of stakeholders to support recommendations that will 
lead to a more resilient, reliable and robust TS&D 
infrastructure to meet the demands of our 21st century economy. 
The Committee urges the Secretary to continue engagement with 
State, local, tribal, and international jurisdictions to inform 
future action on this modernization roadmap. The Committee 
encourages and strongly supports the well-designed, purpose-
driven, public-private partnerships that have coordinated to 
create this report.
    The Committee directs the Secretary, within 180 days after 
the enactment of this act, to provide the Committee with a 
status of implementing the recommendations in the QER, 
including what has been achieved through the shared interest of 
involved parties, Federal Government actions cited in the 
report, and an analysis of recommendations that have not been 
adopted. The Edison Electric Institute estimated in 2008 that 
by 2030, the U.S. electric utility industry would need to make 
a total infrastructure investment of between $1,500,000,000,000 
and $2,000,000,000,000, of which transmission and distribution 
are expected to account for about $900,000,000,000. The 
Committee looks forward to working with the Secretary to use 
the QER as a roadmap to support Federal funding of potential 
solutions, but recognizes that the vast majority of our 
Nation's infrastructure is privately owned and sustained by the 
private sector. Supporting the advancement of our energy 
architecture and infrastructure will not be addressed solely by 
Federal funding and private investment, but also through 
changes in the regulatory environment, such as the Federal 
process for permitting and siting of electrical transmission 
facilities, to enable and support these critical investments.

                        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 2016 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, 2015, 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 2017 
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.

lowering the cost of converting biomass to advanced biofuels. 
However, the Committee also believes there is an opportunity 
for the Secretary to invest in the development of broader 
platforms and capabilities that may drive down conversion costs 
more generally, and thereby provide additional returns on 
Federal investment. The Committee encourages the Secretary to 
explore these opportunities.
    The Committee remains concerned the Secretary is 
interpreting bioenergy too narrowly and failing to consider 
biopower as a viable output of energy technology projects. When 
issuing funding opportunities, the Secretary is directed to 
include biopower projects as eligible recipients for technology 
development support.
    The Committee supports the Secretary's participation in the 
Farm to Fly 2 Initiative with the Federal Aviation 
Administration's Center of Excellence for Alternative Jet Fuels 
and the Environment. The initiative is intended to be a cost-
sharing partnership between academia, industry, and the Federal 
Government, and the Committee urges the Secretary, within 90

$84,000,000 to support the existing 3 Clean Energy 
Manufacturing Institutes [CEMI], including $14,000,000 each for 
the wide bandgap semiconductor institute, the advanced 
composites institute, and the smart manufacturing institute, a 
fourth institute to be awarded in fiscal year 2015. The 
Committee recommendation includes funding to establish an 
additional CEMI. The Committee is pleased that several diverse 
consortia were formed to respond to these innovation 
opportunities, but is concerned there are limited resources 
available to support both the focus areas and additional teams 
that were not selected for prior awards. The Committee urges 
the Secretary to find mechanisms to support the ideas that were 
not funded in previous awards, but have technical merit for 
advanced manufacturing developments. For the fourth and each 
subsequent institute, the Secretary shall conduct an open 
solicitation and competitive, merit-based review process. 
Should future requests propose funding for new institutes, the 
Secretary shall continue to include in each budget 
justification the potential specific research topics associated 
with the proposed institutes. This will provide the Committee 
with the necessary transparency to evaluate and prioritize 
funding to ensure that only highly effective centers closely 
aligned with the Advanced Manufacturing program missions are 
funded.
    The Committee recognizes that stranded, flared, and vented 
natural gas is the result of low natural gas prices that make 
transporting it uneconomic. As topics for additional Clean 
Energy Manufacturing Institutes are evaluated, the Secretary is 
encouraged to consider modular chemical processing as a way to 
address the issue of natural gas flaring and enable advanced 
manufacturing applications in the oil and gas industry.
    The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for the Critical 
Materials Hub aimed at improving critical material supply 
chains that are prone to disruption. The Committee notes that 
the Hub has focused on high-priority problems and has developed 
strong milestones. The Committee supports the Hub's goal of 
developing at least one technology adopted by U.S. companies 
within each of its three focus areas: diversifying and 
expanding production; reducing wastes; and developing 
substitutes.
    Related to critical materials and advanced fabrication 
techniques, the Committee further recognizes the promise of new 
nanostructured metals that can be used in structural 
applications, extreme environments, and chemical synthesis with

high-technology equipment at the MDF. The Secretary is 
encouraged to continue this emphasis in the coming year.
    The Committee supports continued research and development 
of technologies to produce low-cost carbon fiber. The Committee 
encourages the Secretary to create a pilot program to make a 
competitive award to produce at least 2 million pounds of 
carbon fiber per year at a target price of less than $5 per 
pound. The pilot program should require recipients to directly 
synthesize carbon filament, eliminating dependence of filament 
precursors and the requisite carbonization process, while 
minimizing all post-processing while demonstrating 
significantly less total energy consumption.
    The Committee recommends $1,500,000 for the joint additive 
manufacturing pilot institute with the Department of Defense.

                         BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES

    The Committee recommends $178,000,000 for Building 
Technologies. The Committee supports the focus on advanced 
technologies for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning 
systems, recognizing that such technologies have the potential 
to reduce the national cost of energy by 20 to 50 percent. The 
Committee recognizes that most building standard codes are 
developed and implemented by State and local governments. 
Therefore, the Committee also supports ongoing efforts to work 
with State and local agencies to incorporate the latest 
technical knowledge and best practices into construction 
requirements.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends 
$26,000,000 for the Residential Building Integration Program. 
Within this amount, funding should be concentrated on industry 
teams to facilitate research; demonstrate and test new systems; 
and encourage widespread deployment. These activities should be 
coordinated through direct engagement with builders, the 
construction trades, equipment manufacturers, smart grid 
technology and systems suppliers, integrators, and State and 
local governments.
    The Committee recommends $60,000,000 for the Emerging 
Technologies subprogram. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends $14,000,000 for transactive controls research and 
development. Within available funds, the Committee recommends 
$24,000,000 for solid-state lighting technology development to

other technologies. If the Secretary finds solid-state lighting 
technology eligible for the Bright Tomorrow Lighting Prize, 
specified under section 655 of the 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 the Department's final rule 
setting energy efficiency standards for commercial 
refrigerators [Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial 
Refrigeration Equipment; 79 FR 17725 (March 28, 2014)] 
established its required energy efficiency targets based on the 
performance of equipment using hydrofluorocarbons [HFCs], 
refrigerants that have been in the marketplace for over 20 
years. HFCs will be phased out of production by Environmental 
Protection Agency [EPA] regulatory action before the 
Department's standard takes effect. The Committee encourages 
the Department to reassess its standards in light of the EPA 
action and take necessary action to resolve any conflicts 
between the two agencies' standards.

technologies. The Committee directs the Secretary, within 180 
days of enactment of this act, to report on implementation and 
coordination plans between EERE and the Office of Fossil Energy 
to support research and development of natural gas energy 
technologies, as section 12 in Public Law 113-296, the United 
States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act of 2014, expanded the 
scope of collaborative research and development to include 
water technologies and natural gas energy, including 
conventional, unconventional, and other associated natural gas 
technologies.

              Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability

Appropriations, 2015....................................    $147,306,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................     270,100,000
House allowance.........................................     187,500,000
Committee recommendation................................     152,306,000

    The Committee recommends $152,306,000 for Electricity 
Delivery and Energy Reliability, a decrease of $117,794,000 
from the budget request. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends $27,000,000 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. Implementation and 
execution of these new technologies must be driven by private 
market acceptance, and not forced on industry. Many 
organizations throughout the United States, including national 
laboratories, academia, and industry are leading the grid 
modernization effort. 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 directs the Secretary to complete 
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. 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.
    The Committee continues to support the Secretary's research 
activities to ensure transmission reliability. Recent weather-
related events, however, have reinforced the need for 
integration of local, regional, and national weather into 
transmission reliability and resiliency modeling and simulation 
activities to support the utility industry and emergency 
response. The Committee encourages the Secretary to partner 
with universities, national laboratories, and industry when 
issuing competitively awarded research and development 
activities to ensure regional weather and related environmental 
variables are accounted for in advanced grid modeling research.

               CLEAN ENERGY TRANSMISSION AND RELIABILITY

    The Committee recommends $31,000,000 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.
    The Committee supports the Secretary's proposed research on 
advanced modeling capabilities to improve electric planning and 
operations. Advances in big data analytic capabilities and 
modeling and visualization technologies offer potential for 
improving efficient operations of the electric grid 
particularly when incorporating power from variable renewable 
energy sources. Within Energy Systems Risk and Predictive 
Capability and Advanced Modeling Grid Research, the Secretary 
is directed to consider an expanded scope of projects, in 
addition to response to energy supply disruption, and to 
include university and industry teams for research and 
workforce development. The Committee notes that workforce 
education will be critical to the successful and rapid 
transition of advanced modeling and simulation solutions 
developed under this program. The Committee recognizes that 
further investment is needed to maintain and expand power and 
energy education programs, and secure industry partnerships to 
facilitate the development of a highly skilled next-generation 
technical and engineering workforce for the electric power 
sector. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Secretary to 
prioritize research and development investments to engage and 
further develop the capabilities of university undergraduate 
and graduate programs in power and energy.
    The Committee also encourages the Secretary to consider 
expanding research and development partnerships, including 
those related to the development and deployment of microgrids. 
Partnerships should engage stakeholders in diverse geographic 
regions with unique market dynamics and policy challenges. 
These partnerships should inform nationwide efforts to improve 
grid resiliency, reliability, security, and integration of a 
broad range of generation sources, and consumer empowerment.

                  SMART GRID RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee recommends $15,307,000 for Smart Grid 
Research and Development. Within available funding, $5,000,000 
is 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 recognizes the opportunities presented by the 
application, integration, and investment in grid technologies 
across all sectors of the economy. The Secretary should ensure 
that efforts in these areas are coordinated and focused on the 
evolution to the grid of the future.

               CYBER SECURITY FOR ENERGY DELIVERY SYSTEMS

    The Committee recommends $45,999,000 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 underemphasized and must be 
appropriately guarded against.

                             ENERGY STORAGE

    The Committee recommends $16,000,000 for Energy Storage.

program to help States, regional, and tribal entities to 
develop, refine, and improve their programs, policies, and laws 
related to electricity in order to facilitate the development 
and deployment of reliable and affordable energy 
infrastructure, whether generation, transmission, distribution, 
or demand side electricity resources.

             INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY AND ENERGY RESTORATION

    The Committee recommends $6,000,000 for Infrastructure 
Security and Energy Restoration.
    Energy Resilience and Operations Center.--No funding is 
provided for the Energy Resilience and Operations Center 
[Operations Center]. The Energy and Water Development and 
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015, provided up to 
$8,000,000 to support construction of the Operations Center 
within the Department's headquarters in Washington, DC. The 
Committee understands that this office is now engaged in a 
joint effort with the National Nuclear Security Administration, 
and that construction of the Operations Center has been 
delayed.
    Although Congress included clear direction and funding in 
fiscal year 2015 for this project, the Secretary chose to take 
a different course without notifying the Committee. The 
Committee understands that the Secretary may propose to use 
less than the $8,000,000 made available for fiscal year 2015, 
while asking for additional funds for fiscal year 2016. If, by 
the date of enactment of this act, the Secretary has used, or 
has proposed to use, less than the $8,000,000 that Congress 
made available in fiscal year 2015 for the Operations Center, 
the Secretary, within 30 days after the date of enactment of 
this act, shall submit a report to the Committee describing the 
amount of fiscal year 2015 funds proposed to be used to 
construct the Operations Center; an explanation of why the 
Secretary did not use or propose to use all funding that was 
made available for the Operations Center; and which programs, 
projects, or activities were a higher priority for funding.
    The Committee further directs the Secretary to execute this 
project in accordance with congressional direction, and to 
provide the Committee with a monthly status report, until 
construction has been completed, on changes to schedule, cost, 
and scope. Because construction may not begin in fiscal year 
2015, the Committee recommends no new funding for the 
Operations Center for fiscal year 2016. If the Secretary 
completes construction in fiscal year 2016, the Secretary may 
reprogram up to $3,000,000 for the facility from funds made 
available for Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, 
subject to the Committee's approval. If the Operations Center 
becomes operational in fiscal year 2016, the Committee directs 
the Secretary to notify the Committee each time the Operations 
Center is activated.

                 STATE ENERGY RELIABILITY AND ASSURANCE

    The Committee recommends no funds for State Energy 
Reliability and Assurance.

                             Nuclear Energy

Appropriations, 2015....................................    $833,500,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................     907,574,000
House allowance.........................................     936,161,000
Committee recommendation................................     950,161,000

    The Committee recommends $950,161,000 for Nuclear Energy, 
an increase of $42,587,000 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. Programs, projects, and 
activities that are funded within the Nuclear Energy account.
    The Committee supports the Secretary reconvening the 
working group among the national laboratories with nuclear 
capabilities, and directs the Secretary to continue those 
efforts.

                        Research and Development


           SMALL MODULAR REACTOR LICENSING TECHNICAL SUPPORT

    The Committee recommends $62,500,000 for Small Modular 
Reactor Licensing Technical Support, the same as the request. 
The Committee notes that Small Modular Reactors may provide a 
cost-effective method of generating electricity.

   SUPERCRITICAL TRANSFORMATION ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION INITIATIVE

    The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the Supercritical 
Transformational Electric Power Generation Initiative for an 
industry cost-shared demonstration project.

       REACTOR CONCEPTS RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND DEMONSTRATION

    The Committee recommends $117,874,000 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 $12,000,000 for industry-only competition to 
further the development of deployable advanced reactor 
components.
    Light Water Reactor Sustainability.--Within available 
funds, the Committee recommends $43,275,000. 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 $217,000,000 for Fuel Cycle 
Research and Development within which, $97,000,000 is for the 
Used Nuclear Fuel Disposition program.
    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. Therefore, the Committee 
again includes a general provision in section 306 of this bill 
authorizing the Department of Energy to develop a pilot program 
for a consolidated storage facility, pending enactment of more 
comprehensive legislation. Furthermore, the Committee provides 
a technical correction in section 311 that broadens the 
contractual arrangements by which the government can acquire 
spent fuel storage capabilities. The Committee recommends 
$30,000,000 for used nuclear fuel disposition to implement 
sections 306 and 311. Within this amount, funds are provided 
for financial and technical assistance associated with a 
consent-based siting process, including education, technical 
analyses, and other support to entities considering hosting an 
interim storage facility; and for incentive payments to 
entities with signed agreements with eligible jurisdictions.
    Transportation of spent nuclear fuel will require detailed 
planning within the Department, coordination with state and 
local governments, and the acquisition of specialized equipment 
and capabilities. The Secretary should engage in these 
activities so that it ready to transport spent nuclear fuel 
when storage capabilities, however acquired, become available. 
Within the funds provided, the Committee again recommends 
$3,000,000 to design, procure, and test industry-standard 
compliant rail rolling stock in a timeframe that supports the 
transportation of spent fuel to the interim storage facility.
    Within the amount recommended for used nuclear fuel 
activities, $3,000,000 is provided for the Secretary to 
continue to develop disposal pathways for defense high-level 
radioactive waste.
    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, 
$64,000,000 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 $60,100,000 for the Advanced Fuels 
program. The Department is directed to continue implementation 
of the accident tolerant fuels development program, the new 
goal of which is development of accident tolerant nuclear fuels 
leading to commercial reactor fuel assembly testing by 2022. 
The Committee directs the Secretary to consult with industry, 
universities and other interested organizations on a 
commercialization roadmap for these technologies, including new 
Silicon carbide based ceramic material. The Secretary is 
directed to share the outcome of this consultation with the 
Committee. 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, $12,000,000 is provided for 
the continued industry led cost-shared 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. Further, 
the Committee continues to be concerned that the Secretary has 
not yet provided to the Committee the plan for development of 
accident tolerant fuels leading to in-reactor testing and 
utilization as required by the Fiscal Year 2012 Consolidated 
Appropriations Act (Report 112-75). The Committee directs the 
Department to provide this report to the Committee no later 
than 30 days after enactment of this act.

                  NUCLEAR ENERGY ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES

    The Committee recommends $101,000,000 for Nuclear Energy 
Enabling Technologies. The Committee recommends $24,300,000 for 
the Energy Innovation Hub for Modeling and Simulation.

                             Infrastructure


                   RADIOLOGICAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT

    The Committee recommends $20,800,000 for Radiological 
Facilities Management, including $14,000,000 for continued safe 
operation of Oak Ridge National Laboratory hot cells. The 
Committee commends that Secretary for including additional 
funding for this activity in the Office of Science.

                 Fossil Energy Research and Development

Appropriations, 2015....................................    $571,000,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................     560,000,000
House allowance.........................................     605,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     610,000,000

    The Committee recommends $610,000,000 for Fossil Energy 
Research and Development, an increase of $50,000,000 from the 
budget request. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends $115,000,000 for program direction. 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.
    According to the Energy Information Administration, fossil 
energy resources meet approximately 82 percent of the United 
States demand. 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 notes the improved coordination among the 
Office of Fossil Energy and other program office on work 
examining the feasibility of recovering rare earth materials 
from coal and coal-byproduct streams.

                      COAL, CCS AND POWER SYSTEMS

    The Committee recommends $402,000,000 for CCS and Power 
Systems. The Committee encourages the Secretary 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 Secretary 
has previously funded several university-based CCS projects, 
and should build on an established research base to support 
ongoing research, as well as address the wider implementation 
of CCS technologies.
    The Committee supports the Secretary's cooperative 
agreements to develop cost sharing partnerships to conduct 
basic, fundamental, and applied research that assist industry 
in developing, deploying, and commercializing efficient, low-
carbon, non-polluting energy technologies that could compete 
effectively in meeting requirements for clean fuels, chemical 
feedstocks, electricity, and water resources.
    The Secretary is further directed to report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives 
and the Senate not later than June 30, 2015, on the 
reallocation of base funding to other ongoing large-scale Clean 
Coal Power Initiative demonstration projects.
    Carbon Capture.--Within the recommendation, $88,000,000 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. The Committee recommendation includes 
$30,000,000 for the Department's National Carbon Capture 
Center. The Committee recommends $250,000 for an assessment of 
research and development needs to aid in the development and 
commercialization of direct air capture technologies that 
capture carbon dioxide from dilute sources, such as the 
atmosphere, on a significant scale.
    Carbon Storage.--Within the recommendation, $99,000,000 is 
for Carbon Storage. Within funds available for Carbon Storage, 
the Committee recommends $63,084,000 for Regional Carbon 
Sequestration Partnerships, the same as the request, and 
$10,000,000 for Carbon Use and Reuse for 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 also urges the Secretary to support other carbon 
dioxide utilization technologies in addition to Enhanced Oil 
Recovery [EOR], including using carbon dioxide to produce 
algae. The Committee 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, 
$103,000,000 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. Within 
available funding, the Committee urges the Secretary to fund 
research and development activities to improve the efficiency 
of gas turbines used in power generation systems, working 
cooperatively with industry, small businesses, universities, 
and other appropriate parties.
    NETL Coal Research and Development.--Within the 
recommendation, the Committee provides $53,000,000 for NETL 
Coal Research and Development. The Committee is supportive of 
the mission of conducting in-house research activities, such as 
activities in Carbon Capture, Carbon Storage, Advanced Energy 
Systems, and Cross-cutting research for the Coal R&D programs.

                        NATURAL GAS TECHNOLOGIES

    The Committee recommends $43,000,000 for Natural Gas 
Technologies. The recommendation does not include additional 
funding for the joint research effort with the Environmental 
Protection Agency and the U.S. Geological Survey into hydraulic 
fracturing technologies. The Committee notes that it has 
provided funding for this joint research effort over the prior 
4 years, and that the Secretary is scheduled to submit a final 
report to Congress during the summer of 2015. If the Department 
chooses to pursue additional joint research after submission of 
the final report, the Secretary may propose specified topics, 
along with the total cost and expected duration of the 
research, in the fiscal year 2017 budget request.
    Risk-Based Data Management System.--Within available funds, 
the Committee recommends $5,200,000 to continue the Risk-Based 
Data Management System [RBDMS], and support the addition of 
including water tracking in pre- and post-drilling applications 
where States require them. Funds are also recommended 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 
for the improved FracFocus 3.0, and additional reports. The 
Committee supports this initiative's continued efforts to 
provide public transparency, while protecting proprietary 
information.
    Methane Hydrate Activities.--The Committee notes that the 
request does not include funding for methane hydrate 
activities. The Committee understands that instead of 
requesting additional funds in fiscal year 2016 to continue 
methane hydrates research, the Secretary instead elected to 
spend the $15,000,000 provided in fiscal year 2015 more slowly, 
contrary to the intent of Congress, and potentially delaying 
important research activities for a year. The Committee 
recommendation rejects the Secretary's approach, and provides, 
within available funds, $19,800,000 for methane hydrates. The 
Committee also encourages the Secretary to perform a long-term 
methane hydrate production test in the Arctic, as proposed in 
the Methane Hydrate Advisory Committee's May 21, 2014, 
recommendations to the Secretary.
    Environmentally Prudent Development.--The Committee 
recommends $6,000,000 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 $25,321,000 for Unconventional 
Fossil Energy Technologies. The Secretary did not include any 
funding in the fiscal year 2016 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.
    In September 2011, the Secretary submitted its ``Domestic 
Unconventional Fossil Energy Resource Opportunities and 
Technology Applications'' report to Congress, as directed in 
the fiscal year 2010 Energy and Water Development 
Appropriations bill. The report outlines the domestic 
unconventional resource opportunities and technology 
applications of a comprehensive research, development, and 
deployment [RD&D] strategy for unconventional oil, gas, and 
coal resources. The Secretary is encouraged to fund high-
priority RD&D activities identified in the report, including 
oil shale.
    The Committee supports the Secretary's efforts to conduct 
research on crude by rail safety. The Secretary is uniquely 
suited to understand the characteristics of crude, including 
volatility and other properties, which bear on safe methods of 
transportation. Given the public safety concerns, the Committee 
supports the joint effort with the Department of Transportation 
to conduct and conclude the second phase of this study at the 
soonest available time. Within funds available under this 
heading, the Committee recommends up to $1,000,000 to provide 
for the study. The Committee also encourages the Secretary to 
examine the impacts of State and Federal regulations on 
transportation and delivery of oil, including potential safety 
and health risks.
    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.

Heating Oil Reserve, the same as the request.

                   Energy Information Administration

Appropriations, 2015....................................    $117,000,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................     131,000,000
House allowance.........................................     117,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     122,000,000

    The Committee recommends $122,000,000 for the Energy 
Information Administration, a decrease of $9,000,000 from the 
budget request.

                   Non-Defense Environmental Cleanup

Appropriations, 2015....................................    $246,000,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................     220,185,000
House allowance.........................................     229,193,000
Committee recommendation................................     244,000,000

    The Committee recommends $244,000,000 for Non-Defense 
Environmental Cleanup, an increase of $23,815,000 from the 
budget request.
    Small Sites.--The Committee recommends $77,822,000 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. The Secretary should consider this regulatory 
requirement as no different than any other regulatory 
requirement, and is directed to request appropriate funding to 
satisfy the requirements of the National Historic Preservation 
Act in future budget requests.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends 
$17,000,000 to continue to deactivate, decommission, and 
demolish facilities at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. 
Further, the Committee commends the Secretary for work to 
preserve cultural and sacred sites at the Energy Technology 
Engineering Center, and encourages the Secretary to continue 
working with Native American tribes, the community, and other 
Federal, State, and local agencies to ensure that this portion 
of the property is preserved for future generations.
    The Committee remains concerned that the Secretary is not 
requesting adequate funding within the Non-Defense 
Environmental Cleanup account. Further, the budget request 
stated that the Department has no liability 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. 
Funding has been provided by Congress to complete the planning 
work for cleanup. The Committee encourages the Secretary to 
request sufficient funding to execute the work in future budget 
requests, and execute the work via an innovative firm-fixed 
price remediation contract.

      Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund

Appropriations, 2015....................................    $625,000,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................     542,289,000
House allowance.........................................     625,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     614,000,000

    The Committee recommends $614,000,000 for Uranium 
Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning [UED&D] 
activities, an increase of $71,711,000 from the budget request.
    The Committee recommendation includes $194,673,000 for East 
Tennessee Technology Park [ETTP], $199,925,000 for Paducah, and 
$165,417,000 for Portsmouth. Within available funds for ETTP, 
the Committee recommendation includes up to $3,000,000 for 
demolition of the Building K-1200 Complex if the Secretary 
makes a determination under 42 U.S.C. 2296a-3(1)(b).
    The Committee recommends $32,959,000 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. The Committee 
notes the administration requested funding for title X for the 
first time since fiscal year 2008. 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 Committee directs the Secretary to provide a report 
consistent with section 1805 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 
as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992, that requires the 
Secretary to submit a report every 3 years to Congress on the 
progress and success of the UED&D program. The report should 
include an assessment of remaining facilities that require 
UED&D cleanup along with any recommended changes to facilities 
designated for cleanup funding. The last report was submitted 
to Congress in December 2010.
    Transparency on Uranium Transfers.--Congress included 
permanent notification authority for the Secretary regarding 
uranium transfers in the Energy and Water Development 
Appropriations Act, 2015. The Committee supports increased 
transparency in these transfers, and accordingly directs the 
Secretary to make available to the public all secretarial 
determinations under section 3112(d)(2)(B) of the USEC 
Privatization Act, including all related reports, analyses, 
data, and methodologies within 30 days after the notification 
has been submitted or the determination has been made. The 
Secretary is encouraged to develop and report recommendations 
to the Committee, within 90 days after the enactment of this 
act, to minimize the impact of uranium transfers on the 
domestic uranium mining, conversion, and enrichment industries, 
including any actions that would require new authority for the 
Secretary to implement. The Secretary should also consider 
measures that would allow the Department to contract directly 
with domestic uranium industries to introduce uranium into the 
market.

Budget estimate, 2016...................................   5,339,794,000
House allowance.........................................   5,100,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   5,143,877,000

    The Committee recommends $5,143,877,000 for Science, a 
decrease of $195,917,000 from the budget request.
    Distinguished Scientist Program.--The Committee recommends 
directing up to $2,000,000 to support the Department's 
Distinguished Scientist Program, as authorized in section 5011 
of 42 U.S.C. 16537 to promote scientific and academic 
excellence through collaborations between institutions of 
higher education and National laboratories.
    Brain Research through Advancing Innovative 
Neurotechnologies [BRAIN] Initiative.--The Committee supports 
the involvement of the Office of Science and both the 
Interagency Working Group on Neuroscience and the National 
Brain Observation Group, and encourages the Department to 
collaborate with other agencies on the BRAIN Initiative. The 
national laboratory system possesses skills, tools, and 
methodologies to support the initiative, specifically through 
the user facilities in high performance computing and 
nanoscience supported by the Office of Science. Computational 
resources at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory are already 
being used to model and assess data to better understand brain 
processes. Additionally, extensive biomedical imaging resources 
and sensor technologies could be used to support this important 
effort. 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.


                 ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING RESEARCH

    The Committee recommends $620,994,000 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 strongly supports the exascale initiative, 
which is critical to maintaining our Nation's global 
competitiveness and supporting our national security. Exascale 
computers will be capable of a thousand-fold increase in 
sustained performance over today's petascale computers, which 
have been in operation since 2008. The Committee understands 
the goal of the Department's Exascale Computing Initiative is 
to integrate efforts across industry, academia, and government 
to address the technical challenges of exascale computing, and 
to deploy by 2023, capable exascale computing systems. 
Additional research is needed to achieve practical exascale 
computing goals, and the Committee recommends including 
$157,894,000 for exascale activities within the Office of 
Science.
    The Committee directs, within funds available, the 
Secretary to broaden the Research Evaluation Prototype program 
to support the design and development of node, system and 
application prototypes. These efforts will support the 
development of four exascale nodes, three system architecture 
teams, and teams to develop initial plans for programming 
exascale applications. Multiple teams are necessary to 
adequately explore design options and to mitigate overall 
project risk. Overall industry investment in this area is 
significant, with billions of dollars in development costs for 
next generation high performance computing systems. To 
influence the trajectory of technology, the Department must 
partner early with domestic vendors, and support a significant 
share of these early design and development efforts.
    The Committee also recommends $104,317,000 for the Oak 
Ridge Leadership Computing Facility and $86,000,000 for the 
National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center [NERSC] 
facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Funding is 
recommended to upgrade the NERSC infrastructure with power and 
cooling within the new Computational Research and Theory [CRT] 
building.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends 
$38,000,000 for ESnet, the same as the budget request.

                         BASIC ENERGY SCIENCES

    The Committee recommends $1,844,300,000 for Basic Energy 
Sciences [BES]. Of these funds, $1,644,000,000 is for research. 
Within available funds for operations and maintenance of 
scientific user facilities, the Committee recommends 
$254,990,000 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. Within available funds, $477,079,000 is 
provided to support near-optimal operations for the five BES 
light sources, including $125,500,000 the first full year of 
operations for the newly constructed NSLS-II. 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. In addition to the operating budget request, 
which is fully funded, an additional $10,000,000 is provided to 
accelerate completion of the Conceptual Design Report for the 
Second Target Station at the Spallation Neutron Source. 
Further, $5,000,000 is provided for research and development 
for the Advanced Light Source Upgrade. The Committee strongly 
supports the continued upgrades to Generation IV facilities, 
such as the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade project at Argonne 
National Laboratory. Therefore, within available funds, 
$20,000,000 is provided for the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade 
project, the same as the budget request. To better plan for 
costs of these upgrades and major construction projects, the 
Committee requests the Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee 
to provide a list prioritizing the order of the next five 
projects not later than 90 days after enactment of this act.
    The Committee also recommends $12,000,000 for exascale 
systems, the same as the crosscut request for fiscal year 2016. 
In future budget requests, the Committee directs the Office of 
Science to work with the Office of Nuclear Energy to 
demonstrate a commitment to operations and maintenance of 
nuclear facilities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory that 
supports multiple critical missions. As the Office of Science 
considers what user facilities are needed for future scientific 
research, the Secretary should have a balanced portfolio of 
user facilities that gives researchers a breadth of ability to 
make scientific discoveries.
    Innovative new materials are needed that catalyze the 
synthesis of ammonia without requiring an input of natural gas, 
in order to reduce the overall energy budget of fertilizer 
manufacturing, as well as ameliorate environmental concerns. 
Given the production cost and century-old processes, the 
Committee recommends within the funds provided $3,000,000 for a 
competitive solicitation for universities to perform 
fundamental research toward the development of a new generation 
of nanostructured catalysts that can be used to synthesize 
fertilizer and ammonia without any secondary greenhouse gases.
    The Committee recommends $24,137,000 for the Batteries and 
Energy Storage Hub, the Joint Center for Energy Storage 
Research [JCESR]. The Committee is encouraged by the work of 
JCESR which was initiated in fiscal year 2013 and focuses on 
understanding the fundamental performance limitations for 
electrochemical energy storage to launch the next generation, 
beyond lithium-ion energy storage technologies relevant to both 
the electrical grid and transportation. 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 extended 
for a second 5-year term at a reduced scope. During the renewal 
award period, JCAP will develop the knowledge, materials, and 
components needed for generation of transportation fuel from 
sunlight and carbon dioxide, with major emphasis on fundamental 
discovery science of carbon dioxide reduction. The Committee is 
aware of the positive changes evident in JCAP and the 
milestone-driven research plan, and looks forward to the 
capitalization on its scientific achievements, technology 
development, and leveraging of public investment to advance 
research efforts addressing critical needs in solar fuels 
development.
    The Committee also 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 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 $610,000,000 for Biological and 
Environmental Research. Within these funds, the Committee 
recommends $294,271,000 for biological systems science and 
$315,729,000 for climate and environmental sciences. Within 
available funds, the Committee recommends $18,730,000 for 
exascale computing, the same as the request for fiscal year 
2016 crosscut.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends 
$75,000,000 for three Bioenegy Research Centers. 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. Therefore, the Committee strongly supports the 
requested increases in funding for biosystems design to develop 
new and transformative metabolic engineering capabilities for 
bioenergy production and environmental solutions, and urges the 
Secretary to consider opportunities to further support use-
inspired research in these areas with the increased funding.
    The Committee encourages the Secretary 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. In 
addition, the Committee encourages the Secretary to allocate 5 
percent of the Department's funds spent on climate change 
models, studies, or evaluations to create a Red Team, so as to 
ensure science-based findings.

                         FUSION ENERGY SCIENCES

    The Committee recommends $270,168,000 for Fusion Energy 
Sciences.
    U.S. Contribution to ITER.--The Committee recommends no 
funding for the U.S. contribution to ITER.
    The Committee has previously expressed and continues to 
remain concerned about the rising cost of the United States' 
participation in the International Thermonuclear Experimental 
Reactor [ITER] under construction in Cadarache, France, as well 
as management problems and continued delays. The United States 
is to pay 9.09 percent of the projects' construction costs. In 
2008, the total cost share for the United States was estimated 
to be between $1,450,000,000 and $2,200,000,000, and is now 
estimated to be somewhere between $4,000,000,000 and 
$6,500,000,000. With declining budgets, the Committee believes 
funding for the contribution to ITER is crowding 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. In 
addition, there is no approved cost or schedule baseline for 
the project, and the Committee recommends not supporting a 
project with no specified price tag or date of completion.
    For these reasons, the Committee directs the Secretary to 
work with the Department of State to withdraw from the ITER 
project.
    Within the funds for Fusion Energy Sciences, the Committee 
recommends $2,750,000 to continue heavy ion fusion science 
research at the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment-II at 
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

                          HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS

    The Committee recommends $788,100,000, for High Energy 
Physics.
    The Committee strongly supports the Secretary's efforts to 
advance the recommendations of the Particle Physics Project 
Prioritization Panel [P5] 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 $19,000,000 for the 
Long Baseline Neutrino Facility. The Committee supports ongoing 
activities to advance project engineering and design, and site 
preparation work at the Homestake Mine in South Dakota. The 
Committee urges the Secretary to maintain a careful balance 
among the competing priorities and among small, medium, and 
large-scale projects. Therefore, to assist in implementation of 
the P5 recommendations, the Committee recommendation provides 
Cosmic Frontier Experimental Physics an additional $6,500,000 
to fund the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument [DESI] at 
$10,300,000 and the G2 Dark Matter Experiment LUX ZEPLIN at 
$10,500,000, an increase of $6,500,000 above the request. The 
Committee recommends $40,800,000 for the Large Synoptic Survey 
Telescope Camera [LSSTcam], the same as the request.

                            NUCLEAR PHYSICS

    The Committee recommends $591,500,000 for Nuclear Physics. 
Within these funds, the Committee recommends $95,000,000 for 
the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams and operations and research 
for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider [RHIC] for 
$174,935,000.

           WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FOR TEACHERS AND SCIENTISTS

    The Committee recommends $19,500,000, for Workforce 
Development for Teachers and Scientists. The Committee 
recommends $1,000,000 to continue the Computational Sciences 
Graduate Fellowship program.

                  SCIENCE LABORATORIES INFRASTRUCTURE

    The Committee recommends $113,600,000 for Science 
Laboratories Infrastructure. Within these funds, the Committee 
recommends $12,000,000 for nuclear operations at Oak Ridge 
National Laboratory and commends the Secretary for the cross-
cutting infrastructure initiative, which deals with long-
standing needs that underpin mission execution.

    The Committee recommends $291,000,000 for the Advanced 
Research Projects Agency--Energy [ARPA-E], a decrease of 
$34,000,000 from the request. Within available funds, the 
Committee recommends $28,000,000 for program direction. Since 
receiving its first funding in fiscal year 2009, ARPA-E 
continues to catalyze and support the development of 
transformational, high-impact energy technologies to ensure the 
Nation's economic and energy security and technological lead. 
Project sponsors continue to form strategic partnerships and 
new companies, as well as securing private sector funding to 
help move ARPA-E technologies closer to the market. ARPA-E has, 
in total, invested in more than 400 projects in 25 focused 
program areas. The Committee supports the program's focus for 
fiscal year 2016 on transportation fuels and feedstocks; energy 
materials and processes; dispatchable energy; and sensors, 
information and integration.

Committee recommendation................................     130,971,000

    The Committee recommends $248,142,000 in funding for 
Departmental Administration, a decrease of $22,540,000 from the 
request. This funding is offset by $117,171,000 in revenue for 
a net appropriation of $130,971,000.
    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.--Under section 211(o)(9)(B) of 
the Clean Air Act, a small refinery may petition the EPA 
Administrator for an exemption from the Renewable Fuel Standard 
[RFS] on the basis that the refinery experiences a 
disproportionate economic hardship under the RFS. When 
evaluating a petition, the Administrator consults with the 
Secretary of Energy to determine whether disproportionate 
economic hardship exists. According to the Department's March 
2011 Small Refinery Exemption Study, disproportionate economic 
hardship must encompass two broad components: a high cost of 
compliance relative to the industry average disproportionate 
impacts, and an effect sufficient to cause a significant 
impairment of the refinery operations viability.
    If the Secretary finds that either of these two components 
exists, the Committee directs the Secretary to recommend to the 
EPA Administrator a 50 percent waiver of RFS requirements for 
the petitioner. The Committee also directs the Secretary to 
seek small refinery comment before making changes to its 
scoring metrics for small refinery petitions for RFS waivers, 
and to notify the Committee prior to making any final changes 
to scoring metrics.
    The Committee notes that the conference report accompanying 
the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2010, addressed similar issues and directed 
the Secretary to redo an earlier study done to evaluate whether 
the RFS program imposes a disproportionate economic hardship on 
small refineries. In calling for the Secretary to redo the 
study, the conference report cited the lack of small refinery 
input into the earlier study, concerns about regional RFS 
compliance cost disparities, small refinery dependence on the 
purchase of renewable fuel credits [RINs], and increasing RIN 
costs. Since then, the dramatic rise in RIN prices has 
amplified RFS compliance and competitive disparities, 
especially where unique regional factors exist, including high 
diesel demand, no export access, and limited biodiesel 
infrastructure and production. In response to recent petitions, 
the Secretary determined that the RFS program would impose a 
disproportionate economic and structural impact on several 
small refineries. Despite this determination, the Secretary did 
not recommend, and EPA did not provide, any RFS relief because 
it determined the refineries were profitable enough to afford 
the cost of RFS compliance without substantially impacting 
their viability. The Committee reminds the Secretary that the 
RFS program may impose a disproportionate economic hardship on 
a small refinery even if the refinery makes enough profit to 
cover the cost of complying with the program. Small refinery 
profitability does not justify a disproportionate regulatory 
burden where Congress has explicitly given EPA authority, in 
consultation with the Secretary, to reduce or eliminate this 
burden.

    The Committee recommends $46,424,000 for the Office of the 
Inspector General, the same as the request.

                    ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES


                NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

    The Committee recommends $12,263,276,000 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.
    The Committee remains concerned about NNSA's ability to 
concurrently execute multiple, highly complex life extension 
programs and construction projects, but is encouraged by the 
improved level of cooperation between NNSA and its primary 
customer, the Department of Defense.
    Use of Low-Enriched Uranium in Naval Reactors.--The 
Committee notes that a window of opportunity exists to explore 
and pursue the use of low-enriched uranium reactor fuel in the 
Nation's submarine fleet as another round of replacements 
approaches after the Ohio-class replacement. In addition to the 
direction provided in the Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation 
account, the NNSA Administrator is directed to develop a cost 
estimate, budget profile, and schedule for undertaking this 
effort; and determine the lead and participating organizations 
in which such an effort should be executed. This assessment 
shall be delivered to the Committee no later than 120 days 
after enactment of this act.
    Joint Effort on Energy Resilience and Operations Center.--
No NNSA fund in this act, or any other act, is available to 
fund any effort in support of the Energy Resilience and 
Operations Center, regardless of amount, unless it is submitted 
to Congress as a reprogramming request in accordance with the 
reprogramming requirements in this act.

                     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 $15,000,000 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.

                            COST ESTIMATING

    The Committee is concerned with the continued poor cost 
estimating by the Department, particularly within the NNSA. 
Despite this problem having been the subject of many reviews 
and studies over the past decade, the lack of progress shows 
that the Department does not understand the root causes, and 
has not implemented appropriate corrective actions. In November 
2014, the Government Accountability Office [GAO] reported that 
the Department's cost estimating requirements and guidance for 
projects and programs generally do not reflect best practices 
for developing cost estimates. GAO made a series of 
recommendations to incorporate best practices into the 
Department's requirements and guidance. While the Department 
generally agreed with these recommendations, they have not 
shown any urgency in implementing them. Similarly, in December 
2014, GAO reported that several major construction projects had 
incurred significant cost increases and schedule delays, and 
that the Department was reassessing the originally selected 
project alternative for these projects. When GAO assessed the 
Department's process for selecting project alternatives, it 
again found an overall lack of best practices. The Department 
again agreed with the GAO recommendations, but was noncommittal 
in providing dates for incorporating changes. The Secretary is 
directed to provide a report to this Committee no later than 90 
days after enactment of this act, that outlines the 
Department's plan for improving cost estimating for major 
projects and programs, including a line-by-line plan of action 
for each open recommendation from the two GAO reports discussed 
above.

                           Weapons Activities

Appropriations, 2015....................................  $8,186,657,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................   8,846,948,000
House allowance.........................................   8,713,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   8,882,364,000

    The Committee recommends $8,882,364,000 for Weapons 
Activities, an increase of $35,416,000 from 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 $3,039,474,000 for Directed 
Stockpile Work.
    Life Extension Programs.--The Committee recommends 
$1,302,532,000 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. As such, NNSA should consider 
implementing a process for Life Extension Programs that is 
similar to the process specified in DOE Order 413.3B for 
capital projects.
    W76 Life Extension Program.--The Committee recommends 
$244,019,000 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 
$643,300,000 as requested 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 $220,176,000 for the 
W88 Alt 370. The Committee recognizes different categories of 
nuclear weapon modernization programs. Life Extension Programs 
include a comprehensive analysis of the weapon's components and 
systems, followed by reuse, refurbishment or replacement of 
those components and systems, to purposefully extend the life 
of the weapon. Alterations are component changes, much less 
intensive, and do not change the weapon's operational 
capability. The distinction between a life extension program 
and an alteration is important, and should be maintained.
    Stockpile Services.--The Committee recommends $858,000,000 
for stockpile services. Subcritical experiments at the Nevada 
National Security Site provide the validation data for weapons 
simulation codes and enhance the ability to predict the 
behavior of aging weapons. NNSA is currently conducting one of 
these experiments every 18 months, which limits participation 
to one national laboratory. However, stockpile life extension 
efforts may require greater participation by the national labs 
and therefore, likely increased frequency of experiments. 
Within funds provided in this account, NNSA is directed to plan 
for two subcritical experiments per year to ensure that the 
laboratories actively participating in life extension efforts 
are involved in critical peer review and to realize shorter 
cycle times in providing nuclear weapon designers needed 
experimental data. This increased frequency could address key 
certification issues associated with weapon systems scheduled 
for Life Extension Program modernization.
    Nuclear Material Commodities.--The Committee recommends 
$344,516,000 for Nuclear Material Commodities.
    Domestic Uranium Enrichment.--The Committee recommends 
$50,000,000 for a domestic uranium enrichment capability. The 
bill contains a provision that provides special reprogramming 
authority of an additional $50,000,000 subject to the 
Committee's normal notification guidelines. The Committee 
directs that the Department of Energy shall use these funds 
only to maintain existing centrifuges and facilities associated 
with domestic enrichment capabilities and safeguard 
intellectual property rights.

           RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TECHNOLOGY, AND ENGINEERING

    The Committee recommends $1,766,295,000 for Research, 
Development, Technology, and Engineering.
    Inertial Confinement Fusion Ignition and High-Yield 
Campaign.--The Committee recommends $511,050,000 for the 
inertial confinement fusion ignition and high-yield campaign. 
Within these funds, $329,000,000 shall be used for inertial 
confinement fusion activities at the National Ignition Facility 
[NIF], $44,500,000 shall be used for Sandia National 
Laboratory's Z facility, and not less than $68,000,000 shall be 
used for the University of Rochester's Omega facility. The 
Committee supports ongoing efforts at NIF to operate more 
efficiently and expand the base of academic users in order to 
help attract top talent to stockpile stewardship. The Committee 
supports NNSA efforts to better coordinate diagnostic 
development efforts across national labs and universities for 
use at the major inertial confinement fusion facilities to make 
sure that critical diagnostics are available when needed.
    Advanced Simulation and Computing.--The Committee 
recommends $623,006,000 for advanced simulation and computing. 
Within these funds, the Committee recommends no less than 
$64,000,000 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.

               READINESS IN TECHNICAL BASE AND FACILITIES

    The Committee recommends $1,021,110,000 for Readiness in 
Technical Base and Facilities.
    Operations.--The Committee recommends $360,920,000 for 
Operations. NNSA procedures require that the contracting 
officer review each M&O contract at appropriate intervals, and 
at least once every 5 years, and he or she should determine 
whether meaningful improvement in performance or cost might 
reasonably be achieved when making a final decision to compete 
the existing contract. Within 120 days of enactment, NNSA 
should provide a report to the House and Senate Appropriations 
Committees that details the results of these reviews over the 
last 5 years, and the schedule for reviews in the coming year.
    Bannister Road Complex.--The Committee is concerned that 
NNSA will not follow through on completion of all activities 
needed to effectively turn over the Bannister Road Complex to a 
private entity, consistent with section 3143 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act, 2014. The Committee supports the 
budget request for the Bannister Road Complex, and recommends, 
within available funds, $7,800,000 for Site Surveillance, 
$3,000,000 for long-term stewardship activities, and 
$28,000,000 for Bannister Road Disposition. Further, the 
Committee is concerned that while the budget request states 
$200,000,000 will be required in fiscal year 2017 to complete 
the transfer, funding has not been included in the current 
outyear funding profile provided to the Committee with the 
budget request. The Secretary is directed to provide a report 
to the Committee no later than December 31, 2015 describing the 
proposed schedule and funding plan for completing the transfer.
    Construction.--The Committee recommends $660,190,000 for 
major capital construction projects.
    Project 06-D-141, Uranium Processing Facility, Y-12, Oak 
Ridge, Tennessee.--The Committee recommends $430,000,000 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 $6,500,000,000. The Committee believes 
the recommendations from the Red Team are practical and lower 
cost compared to the previous big box, single structure uranium 
building design. The Committee believes NNSA should continue to 
ensure full implementation of the Red Team recommendations to 
maximize the use of existing facilities at Y-12 and build 
smaller, more affordable facilities at the appropriate hazard 
and security category, where needed. To accomplish this, NNSA 
is 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. As such, the Committee specifically 
authorizes site preparation and other construction activities 
prior to completion of any required independent cost estimate 
for the project.
    Project 04-D-125, Chemistry and Metallurgy Research 
Building Replacement Project, Los Alamos, New Mexico.--The 
Committee recommends $155,610,000 to maximize the use of the 
newly constructed Radiological Laboratory Utility Office 
Building [RLUOB] and reuse laboratory space in PF-4 to 
transition plutonium capabilities out of the aging Chemistry 
and Metallurgy Research [CMR] building by 2019. Within these 
funds, the Committee recommends organizing this work as sub-
projects under the existing CMRR line item project. The 
Committee recommends $117,000,000 for the RLUOB Equipment 
Installation Phase 2 sub-project, which transfers most 
analytical chemistry capabilities from CMR to RLUOB, and 
$38,610,000 for the PF-4 Equipment Installation sub-project 
which transfers material characterization and remaining 
analytical chemistry capabilities out of CMR to PF-4.
    Secure Transportation Asset.--The Committee recommends 
$219,000,000 for Secure Transportation Asset [STA]. The budget 
request proposes a nearly 15 percent increase in funding for 
STA, but does not provide adequate justification for the 
increase. In addition, the recapitalization of STA equipment is 
projected to cost more than originally thought. The Secretary 
should ensure cost estimating and analysis of alternatives best 
practices are incorporated into STA program planning before the 
procurement plan is finalized.

                        DEFENSE NUCLEAR SECURITY

    The Committee recommends $657,891,000 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 has been 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. The 
Committee directs the Secretary to submit a report on the 
processes NNSA follows to coordinate across the various NNSA 
departments to ensure assumptions used in budget estimating for 
support functions, such as security, are synchronized with the 
primary missions of the site.
    The Committee is concerned that the NNSA terminated the Y-
12 Security Improvements Project without completing the full 
scope of work planned. The budget request also defers 
improvements that are needed at the Pantex Plant. The Secretary 
is encouraged to ensure that these investments are prioritized 
and appropriately funded in future budget requests.

                    Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation

Appropriations, 2015....................................  $1,616,638,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................   1,940,302,000
House allowance.........................................   1,907,606,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,705,912,000

    The Committee recommends $1,705,912,000 for Defense Nuclear 
Nonproliferation, a decrease of $234,390,000 from the budget 
request.

                    DEFENSE NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION

    Global Material Security.--The Committee recommends 
$426,751,000 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.
    Of the amount provided, not less than $30,000,000 is for a 
Uranium Science Institute for capacity building to both 
preserve and advance uranium science and engineering expertise 
and technology for national security and nonproliferation 
initiatives. These efforts will include research and 
development activities that improve and enhance knowledge of 
uranium enrichment and processing, while establishing and 
maintaining a core of personnel, laboratories, and equipment 
that can address current and future U.S. Government needs.
    Material Management and Minimization.--The Committee 
recommends $311,584,000 for Material Management and 
Minimization. Within these funds, the Committee recommends 
$109,000,000 for Nuclear Material Removal. The removal of U.S. 
and Russian origin HEU and LEU is an important mission, but 
budget request proposes a greater than 65 percent increase 
without sufficient justification. Also within these funds, the 
Committee recommends $120,000,000 for HEU Reactor Conversion. 
The Committee believes permanently eliminating supplies of HEU 
around the world significantly reduces the threat of nuclear 
terrorism. The Navy is the largest consumer of HEU for power 
generation. Within the funds provided for HEU Reactor 
Conversion, not less than $5,000,000 shall be used to start a 
technical program managed by Naval Reactors to develop and 
qualify an LEU fuel system for naval cores.
    Moly-99.--The Committee remains concerned about the 
development of domestic supplies of the medical isotope Moly-99 
on a schedule necessary to assure the public health and meet 
the expectations set forth in the Committee's fiscal year 2015 
report. Further, NNSA's efforts to develop a domestic source of 
Moly-99 from other than high-enriched uranium should include, 
but not be limited to, low-enriched uranium and natural 
molybdenum. The Committee directs NNSA to submit a report to 
the Appropriations Committees by January 31, 2016 on ways it 
plans to assure the deployment of two or more domestic sources 
of Moly-99 into commercial distribution by January 1, 2019 or 
sooner.
    Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and 
Development.--The Committee recommends $419,333,000 for Defense 
Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development, an increase 
of $25,932,000 from the fiscal year 2015 enacted level. The 
Committee supports a robust research and development capability 
to support nonproliferation initiatives.
    Nonproliferation Construction.--The Committee recommends 
$345,000,000 and adopts the budget request for the Mixed Oxide 
Fuel Fabrication Facility [MFFF]. The Committee directs the 
Secretary to form a Red Team, similar to the UPF Red Team, to 
review the project and make recommendations. The Red Team 
review should be completed in sufficient time to inform the 
fiscal year 2017 budget request.
    Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response.--The 
Committee funds Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response 
within the Weapons Activities account, and accordingly 
recommends no appropriation under Defense Nuclear 
Nonproliferation.
    Legacy Contractor Pensions.--The Committee recommends 
$94,617,000 for legacy contractor defined benefit pension 
plans.

                             Naval Reactors

Appropriations, 2015....................................  $1,234,000,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................   1,375,496,000
House allowance.........................................   1,322,820,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,300,000,000

    The Committee recommends $1,300,000,000 for Naval Reactors, 
a decrease of $75,496,000 from the budget request. 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 $186,800,000 for Ohio-Class 
Replacement Reactor Systems Development.

                       NAVAL REACTORS DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee recommends $430,400,000 for Naval Reactors 
Development.
    Advanced Test Reactor.--The Committee encourages Naval 
Reactors and the Office of Nuclear Energy to continue working 
with the Idaho National Laboratory to establish and request 
adequate funding in future budget requests to ensure the 
continued reliable, safe operation of the Advanced Test 
Reactor, a vital and unique research facility. The Committee 
recommends $67,200,000 for ATR operation.

                              CONSTRUCTION

    The Committee recommends $62,100,000 for Construction. 
Within available funds, the Committee recommends $48,000,000 
for the Spent Fuel Handling Facility in Idaho and $3,100,000 
for the Engine Room Team Trainer. The requirements set forth in 
50 U.S.C. 2406 make the Deputy Administrator for Naval 
Reactors, within the Department of Energy, responsible for 
training conducted at the prototype reactors, including 
training and qualification of personnel who supervise, operate, 
or maintain naval nuclear propulsion plants. For this reason, 
and because this is a capital project required for that mission 
at a NNSA site, this project should continue to be funded 
through the Naval Reactors account within the NNSA.

                           PROGRAM DIRECTION

    The Committee recommends $42,504,000 for Program Direction. 
The Committee recommendation does not approve the requested 
increase in FTEs, and restricts manning to 238 FTEs.

                     Federal Salaries and Expenses

Appropriations, 2015....................................    $370,000,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................     402,654,000
House allowance.........................................     388,500,000
Committee recommendation................................     375,000,000

    The Committee recommends $375,000,000, a decrease of 
$27,654,000 from the budget request. Within these funds, the 
Committee recommends $2,000,000 for the Office of Cost 
Estimating and Program Evaluation and $972,000 for improved 
financial systems integration within the Department in 
accordance with the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act, 
section 3112. The Committee supports efforts to gain 
consistency in accounting across the Nuclear Security 
Enterprise so meaningful comparisons and analysis can be 
conducted, and management can focus its effort on the 
appropriate areas. The Committee urges the Secretary to 
complete the report required in section 3112, which was due in 
December 2014.

                     Defense Environmental Cleanup

Appropriations, 2015....................................  $5,000,000,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................   5,055,550,000
House allowance.........................................   5,055,550,000
Committee recommendation................................   5,180,000,000

    The Committee recommendation for Defense Environmental 
Cleanup is $5,180,000,000, an increase of $124,450,000 from the 
budget request. Within available funds, the Department is 
directed to fund the Hazardous Waste Worker Training Program.

                          DEFERRED MAINTENANCE

    The Committee is concerned that the Department is not 
addressing the backlog of deferred maintenance across the 
complex. Despite the stated goal of improving the facility 
maintenance activities and reinvestment projects to arrest 
growth in deferred maintenance, it is unclear how the 
Department intends to accomplish this goal, or measure its 
progress. The Secretary is directed to submit, as part of its 
annual budget request starting with the fiscal year 2017 
request, a prioritized list of the deferred maintenance it 
intends to accomplish in each of the next 5 years, including 
the rationale for the prioritization and the planned cost for 
each item. Further, the Committee expects the Secretary to 
request adequate funding to complete the maintenance consistent 
with its plan.
    Closure Sites.--The Committee recommends $4,889,000 for 
Closure Sites activities.
    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 2016 
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 
$922,590,000 for Richland Operations. Additional funding is 
provided for cleanup of the 300-296 waste site, continued 
remediation of the 618-10 burial ground, 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 $254,876,000 for NNSA 
sites.
    Oak Ridge Reservation.--The Committee recommends 
$223,050,000 for Oak Ridge Reservation. Within the funds 
available for Nuclear Facility D&D, the Committee recommends an 
additional $5,000,000 to support compliance and design life 
extension of Waste Treatment Facilities at Oak Ridge National 
Laboratory and $7,000,000 to support planning and preparation 
for 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.
    U-233 Disposition Program.--The Committee recommends 
$35,895,000 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 campus more conducive to 
collaborative science.
    Mercury Treatment Facility.--The Committee recommends 
$9,400,000 for the Outfall 200 Mercury Treatment Facility, an 
increase of $2,600,000 from the budget request. 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 is a 
high priority for the Environmental Management program. Given 
the significant risk to public health, the Committee urges the 
Department to continue to pursue efforts to prevent mercury 
from escaping into the environment.
    Office of River Protection.--The Committee recommends 
$1,414,000,000 for the Office of River Protection.
    The Committee is supportive of the Department's efforts at 
technology development efforts to reduce the overall volume of 
radioactive wastes needing treatment and disposal. Preliminary 
work on technologies capable of removing the salts from the 
low-activity tank waste streams has been undertaken. Within 
available funds, the Department is directed to complete this 
effort by conducting system conceptual design and cost estimate 
activities in order to gain a deeper understanding of its 
potential within recent waste treatment system changes.
    Savannah River Site.--The Committee recommends 
$1,208,421,000 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.
    Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.--The Committee recommends 
$243,318,000 for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
    The Committee encourages the Secretary to take all 
appropriate actions to reopen the facility on schedule 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 is disappointed with the lack of a 
detailed budget to adequately explain and justify the recovery 
work and ensure that the recovery is not delayed by funding 
issues. The Committee requests that the Department develop and 
maintain a detailed budget of the WIPP recovery plan and 
provide it to the Committee on a semi-annual basis to account 
for work and needed projects.

                                TITLE IV

                          INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

                    Appalachian Regional Commission

Appropriations, 2015....................................     $90,000,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................      95,000,000
House allowance.........................................      95,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     105,000,000

    The Committee recommends $105,000,000 for the Appalachian 
Regional Commission [ARC], an increase of $10,000,000 from 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, $10,000,000 is recommended 
to foster and continue the workforce training program in 
Southern Appalachia, primarily focused on the automotive 
supplier industry and the aviation sector in South Central 
Appalachia. The program will benefit economically distressed 
counties in Southern and South Central Appalachia. This funding 
shall be in addition to any funds otherwise directed to 
distressed counties. The funds shall be distributed according 
to ARC's Distressed Counties Formula, which includes land area, 
population estimates, and the number of distressed counties.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends 
$25,000,000, the same as the budget request, for the POWER Plus 
Plan. This new activity is designed 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.

House allowance.........................................      12,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      25,000,000

    The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for the Delta Regional 
Authority, an increase of $10,064,000 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, skills 
training, and opportunities for economic development for 
distressed counties and parishes. Within available funds, not

                  Northern Border Regional Commission

Appropriations, 2015....................................      $5,000,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................       5,000,000
House allowance.........................................       3,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       7,500,000

    The Committee recommends $7,500,000 for the Northern Border 
Regional Commission, an increase of $2,500,000 from the budget 
request. The Northern Border Regional Commission is a Federal-
State partnership intended to promote transportation, basic 
public infrastructure, job skills training and business 
development in areas of persistent economic distress in the 
northern border region, which covers portions of Maine, New 
Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. The Committee notes that 
section 404 of the Energy and Water Appropriations Act, 2015, 
required each independent agency funded in title IV of the bill 
to submit a budget justification and a detailed annual report. 
The Committee directs the Northern Border Regional Commission 
to comply with this direction.

                           NET APPROPRIATION

Appropriations, 2015....................................    $117,858,000
Budget estimate, 2016...................................     120,148,000
House allowance.........................................     140,959,000
Committee recommendation................................     117,136,000

    The Committee recommends $990,000,000 for the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission [Commission], a decrease of $30,119,000 
from the budget request. This amount is offset by estimated 
revenues of $872,864,000, resulting in a net appropriation of 
$117,136,000. 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.
    The recommendation includes three new control points to 
provide additional transparency to the Commission's budget 
execution process: Nuclear Reactor Safety; Nuclear Materials 
and Waste Safety; and Decommissioning and Low-Level Waste, as 
described below. Section 401 provides new reprogramming 
authority to the Commission between the accounts, subject to 
prior congressional approval, with a provision made for 
emergency circumstances. This reprogramming authority 
supersedes the Commission's existing guidance on internal 
reprogrammings.
    Nuclear Reactor Safety.--The Committee recommends 
$771,852,000 for Nuclear Reactor Safety, including $270,150,000 
for corporate support activities. This new control point 
includes the Commission's Operating Reactors and New Reactors 
business lines. The recommendation includes funding to continue 
licensing activities associated with awards made under the 
Department of Energy's Small Modular Reactor Licensing 
Technical Support program. The Commission is directed to report 
any transfer of more than $500,000 across business lines, as 
identified in the budget request, to the Committee as soon as 
practicable.
    Nuclear Materials and Waste Safety.--The Committee 
recommends $174,691,000 for Nuclear Materials and Waste Safety, 
including $61,033,000 for corporate support activities. This 
new control point includes the Commission's Fuel Facilities, 
Nuclear Material Users, and Spent Fuel Storage and 
Transportation business lines. The Committee notes that section 
3 of title III includes a general provision for a pilot program 
for the consolidated storage of used nuclear fuel. The 
Committee urges the Commission to be prepared to act promptly 
if this provision is enacted into law.
    Decommissioning and Low-Level Waste.--The Committee 
recommends $43,628,000 for Decommissioning and Low-Level Waste, 
including $15,224,000 for corporate support.
    Excess Unobligated Carryover.--The Committee recommendation 
authorizes the Commission to reallocate up to $20,000,00 in 
unobligated carryover balances to supplement its fiscal year 
2016 appropriation. The Committee notes that between fiscal 
year 2015 and fiscal year 2016 projections, the Commission will 
have carried over more than $50,000,000 in unobligated 
balances. The Committee directs the Commission to discontinue 
its practice of carrying over such significant sums from prior 
fiscal years, which is largely derived from revenues. The 
Commission is directed to carry over only the minimum amount 
necessary for efficient execution of its mission, and to ensure 
that any rule or other requirement for collection of revenue or 
fees is calculated accordingly.
    Integrated University Program.--Within available funds, the 
Committee recommends not less than $15,000,000 for the 
Integrated University Program [IUP] to maintain specialists in 
radiation safety needed in healthcare, energy, defense, 
homeland security, environmental protection, agriculture, 
science, space exploration, construction, and industrial 
applications. Together with IUP funds from the Department of 
Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy and the National Nuclear 
Security Administration, this program ensures a highly 
qualified next generation of nuclear specialists. Funding for 
this program shall not be from prior year balances.
    Agency Efficiency.--The Committee recognizes that the 
Commission is taking important steps to make the agency run 
more effectively. In February 2015, the Commission publicly 
released its report on the Project Aim 2020 initiative which 
forecasts the agency's workload over the next 5 years and 
recommends 12 adjustments to staffing, planning, and processes 
to make the Commission more effective in carrying out its 
mission. Specifically, this report envisions a reduction of 10 
percent to both staffing and budget authority by 2020 from 
fiscal year 2015 levels due to a projected reduction in 
workload. The Commission, however, has not yet formally adopted 
the recommendations in the report, and consequently, the budget 
request for fiscal year 2016 was not fully informed by these 
recommendations. If the Committee were simply to adopt the 
Commission's fiscal year 2016 budget as proposed, significant 
time would be lost in implementing the recommendations, 
resulting in a need for a steep decline in resources over the 
next 3 fiscal years. Further, fully funding the Commission's 
budget request with the understanding that such funds would 
exceed the Commission's actual requirements would not be 
consistent with the Committee's responsibility to ensure 
taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.
    The Committee recommendation, therefore, includes a 
reduction of $30,119,000 from the Commission's request, with 
the majority directed at low-priority work and corporate 
support activities. This recommendation provides the Commission 
with the opportunity to find savings and begin to implement the 
Project Aim recommendations in earnest prior to fiscal year 
2017. In choosing where to apply these reductions, the 
Commission should consider eliminating low-value activities and 
expenses, and consolidating programs or offices for efficiency. 
The Commission is directed to not make reductions that would 
impact safety. Further, the Commission should not make 
reductions that would negatively impact the critical skill sets 
and highly technical staff that are needed to fulfil the 
agency's mission. Allowing the Commission to begin making 
reductions this fiscal year will result in less drastic 
reductions over the next three fiscal years. The Commission is 
directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress within 30 days after the date of enactment 
of this act on how it has applied the reductions to individual 
business lines.
    Rulemaking Process.--The Committee is concerned that the 
staff-directed rulemaking process is inefficient and permits 
expenditure of significant agency resources in developing the 
technical basis and regulatory analysis for potential rules 
without prior Commission approval. The Committee believes that, 
in keeping with NRC's Principles of Good Regulation, the 
Commission should return to the Commission-directed process 
outlined in the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
Regulations Handbook (NUREG/BR-0053, Revision 6) [Handbook]. 
The Committee therefore directs the Commission to make 
conforming changes to NRC Management Directive 6.3, ``The 
Rulemaking Process'' to be consistent with the Handbook's 
Commission-directed process. The Commission is directed to 
provide the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress with an updated directive not later than 90 days after 
the enactment of this act. The Commission is further directed 
to provide to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses 
of Congress, not later than 30 days after the enactment of this 
act, a report that includes a general description and status of 
each proposed rule that is currently pending before the 
Commission, including the date on which the proposed rule was 
docketed.
    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.

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

    Section 401. The Committee includes reprogramming language 
for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
    Section 402. The Committee includes language on providing 
information to Congress.
    Section 403. The Committee includes a technical correction.

                                TITLE V

    The Committee is concerned about the millions of taxpayer 
dollars spent on wasteful printing practices each year and the 
lack of clear printing policies within each of the agencies. 
While progress has been made to better utilize the cloud and 
digitalize records, little progress has been made to reform in-
house printing practices. The Committee directs each agency to 
work with Office of Management and Budget to reduce printing 
and reproduction by 34 percent and report to the Committee 
within 60 days after enactment of this Act on what steps have 
been taken to reduce printing volume and costs. The report 
should specifically identify how much money each agency will be 
saving.
    The Committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to study the effects of forward capacity auctions and 
other capacity mechanisms that have been established by 
Independent System Operators or Regional Transmission 
Organizations on (1) consumer prices for electricity; (2) the 
installation of new electrical generation systems; (3) the 
preservation of existing electrical generation systems; and (4) 
competition in energy markets, including the potential for the 
use of undue market power or manipulation in the auctions.

                           GENERAL PROVISIONS

    The following list of general provisions are recommended by 
the Committee:
    Section 501. The provision prohibits the use of any funds 
provided in this bill from being used to influence 
congressional action.
    Section 502. The provision addresses transfer authority 
under this act.
    Section 503. The provision relates to Executive Order No. 
13690.

                     Program, Project, and Activity

    In fiscal year 2016, for purposes of the Balanced Budget 
and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177), 
as amended, the following information provides the definition 
of the term ``program, project or activity'' for departments 
and agencies under the jurisdiction of the Energy and Water 
Development Appropriation bill. The term ``program, project or 
activity'' shall include the most specific level of budget 
items identified in the Energy and Water Development 
Appropriations Bill, 2016 and the report accompanying the bill.
    If a sequestration order is necessary, in implementing the 
Presidential order, departments and agencies shall apply any 
percentage reduction required for fiscal year 2016 pursuant to 
the provisions of Public Law 99-177 to all items specified in 
the report accompanying the bill by the Senate Committee on

    Sec. 3 [Construction] Except as provided in section 5B, 
construction authorized by this subchapter shall be for the 
purposes of dam safety and not for the specific purposes of 
providing additional conservation storage capacity or of 
developing benefits over and above those provided by the 
original dams and reservoirs. Nothing in this subchapter shall 
be construed to reduce the amount of project costs allocated to 
reimbursable purposes heretofore authorized.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

    Sec. 5 There are hereby authorized to be appropriated for 
fiscal year 1979 and ensuing fiscal years such sums as may be 
necessary, but not to exceed $100,000,000 and, effective 
October 1, 1983, not to exceed an additional $650,000,000 
(October 1, 1983, price levels), and, effective October 1, 
2000, not to exceed an additional $95,000,000 (October 1, 2000, 
price levels), and, effective October 1, 2001, not to exceed an 
additional $32,000,000 (October 1, 2001, price levels), and, 
effective October 1, 2003, not to exceed an additional 
$540,000,000 (October 1, 2003, price levels), and effective 
October 1, 2015, not to exceed an additional $1,100,000,000 
(October 1, 2003, price levels), plus or minus such amounts, if 
any, as may be justified by reason of ordinary fluctuations in 
construction costs as indicated by engineering cost indexes 
applicable to the types of construction involved herein, to 
carry out the provisions of this Act to remain available until 
expended if so provided by the appropriations Act: Provided, 
That no funds exceeding [$1,250,000] $20,000,000 (October 1, 
2003, price levels), as adjusted to reflect any ordinary 
fluctuations in construction costs indicated by applicable 
engineering cost indexes, shall be obligated for carrying out 
actual construction to modify an existing dam under authority 
of this Act prior to 30 calendar days from that date that the 
Secretary has transmitted a report on such existing dam to the 
[Congress] Committee on Natural Resources of the House of 
Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural 
Resources of the Senate. The report required to be submitted by 
this section will consist of a finding by the Secretary of the 
Interior to the effect that modifications are required to be 
made to insure the safety of an existing dam. Such finding 
shall be accompanied by a technical report containing 
information on the need for structural modification, the 
corrective action deemed to be required, alternative solutions 
to structural modification that were considered, the estimated 
cost of needed modifications, and environmental impacts if any 
resulting from the implementation of the recommended plan of 
modification. For modification expenditures between $1,800,000 
and $20,000,000 (October 1, 2013, price levels), the Secretary 
of the Interior shall, at least 30 days before the date on 
which the funds are expended, submit written notice of the 
expenditures to the Committee on Natural Resources of the House 
of Representatives and Committee on Energy and Natural 
Resources of the Senate that provides a summary of the project, 
the cost of the project, and any alternatives that were 
considered.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

    (d) The Secretary may waive 1 or more of the requirements 
of subsections (a), (b), and (c), if the Secretary determines 
that implementation of the requirement could have an adverse 
impact on dam safety or security.

    Sec. 5B. Notwithstanding section 3, if the Secretary, in 
her judgment, determines that additional project benefits, 
including but not limited to additional conservation storage 
capacity, are necessary and in the interests of the United 
States and the project and are feasible and not inconsistent 
with the purposes of this Act, the Secretary is authorized to 
develop additional project benefits through the construction of 
new or supplementary works on a project in conjunction with the 
Secretary's activities under section 2 of this Act and subject 
to the conditions described in the feasibility study, provided 
the costs associated with developing the additional project 
benefits are allocated to the authorized purposes of the 
structure and repaid consistent with all provisions of Federal 
Reclamation law (the Act of June 17, 1902, 43 U.S.C. 371 et 
seq.) and acts supplemental to and amendatory of that Act.
