                                PURPOSE

    The purpose of this bill is to provide appropriations for 
fiscal year 2025, beginning October 1, 2024 and ending 
September 30, 2025, for energy and water development, and for 
other related purposes. It supplies funds for water resources 
development programs and related activities of the Corps of 
Engineers' Civil Works program in Title I; for the Department 
of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation and Central Utah 
Project in Title II; for the Department of Energy's energy 
research and development activities, including environmental 
restoration and waste management, and the 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, Northern Border Regional 
Commission, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Title IV.

                         Subcommittee Hearings

    To develop this recommendation, the Committee held two 
budget hearings in May 2024 in connection with the fiscal year 
2025 budget requests. The hearings provided officials from the 
agencies with an opportunity to present the administration's 
most pressing priorities to the Committee.

                              INTRODUCTION

    The Committee's recommendation includes funding for the 
highest priority activities across the agencies funded in the 
bill. The recommendation includes funds for critical water 
infrastructure, including our Nation's inland waterways, ports, 
and harbors; agricultural water supply and drought relief in 
the West; groundbreaking scientific research and development, 
including world-class supercomputing; support for the Nation's 
nuclear weapons, non-proliferation, and nuclear Navy programs; 
and critical economic development.

               FEDERAL TRUST AND TREATY RESPONSIBILITIES

    The Committee reminds the agencies funded in this act of 
the obligation to uphold the Federal trust and treaty 
responsibilities to Tribes and Federal obligations to the 
Native Hawaiian Community. This includes upholding treaty and 
reserved rights, and any other rights and obligations under 
Federal law; supporting self-determination efforts by Native 
communities; fulfilling obligations under Presidential 
Memoranda and Executive Orders; and conducting early and robust 
government-to-government consultation with Tribes, and 
meaningful outreach and engagement with Native Hawaiians.

                                TITLE I

                        CORPS OF ENGINEERS-CIVIL

                         DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

                       Corps of Engineers--Civil

                       Overview of Recommendation

    The Committee recommends $10,344,934,000 for the Corps of 
Engineers [Corps]. The Committee's recommendation sets 
priorities by supporting our Nation's water infrastructure.

                              INTRODUCTION

    The Corps' Civil Works mission is to provide quality, 
responsive engineering services to the Nation in peace and war. 
Approximately 26,000 civilians and about 240 military officers 
are responsible for executing the Civil Works mission. This 
bill only funds the Civil Works functions of the Corps.
    The Corps maintains our inland waterways, keeps our ports 
open, manages a portion of our drinking water supply, provides 
emission-free electricity from dams, restores aquatic 
ecosystems, 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' Civil Works 
mission is estimated to be $268,000,000,000, which equates to a 
return of about $39.90 for every dollar expended.
    The Corps' responsibilities include:
  --Navigation systems, including 13,000 miles of coastal 
        navigation channels, 12,000 miles of inland waterways, 
        237 lock chambers, and 1,072 harbors, which handle over 
        2.4 billion tons of cargo annually;
  --Flood risk management infrastructure, including 745 dams, 
        13,000 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 26 States;
  --Environmental stewardship, infrastructure, and ecosystem 
        restoration;
  --Recreation for approximately 266 million recreation visits 
        per year to Corps projects;
  --Regulation of waters under Federal statutes; and
  --Maintaining hydropower capacity of over 24,000 megawatts at 
        75 projects.

                       ADVANCED FUNDS AGREEMENTS

    Under the advanced funds authority, the Corps is authorized 
to accept, from a State or political subdivision thereof, all 
funds covering both the Federal and non-Federal share of total 
project costs required to construct an authorized water 
resources development project or separable element thereof. 
Based on the non-Federal sponsor's commitment to provide all 
funds required to construct a project, or separable element 
thereof, the Corps may undertake construction of the project 
prior to a new start determination related to Federal funding 
for the project. In light of a non-Federal sponsor's commitment 
to provide all funding required for construction of the 
project, or separable element thereof, the Committee directs 
that Federal funds shall not be provided for such construction. 
Instead, for such projects, any Federal funding may be provided 
only after completion of construction, as repayment of the 
Federal share of such construction, from funding provided in 
this or subsequent acts for reimbursements or repayments, and 
would be subject to a new start designation. The Committee does 
not intend that this direction apply to any project with an 
advanced funds project partnership agreement that was in place 
prior to December 20, 2019.

                   BENEFICIAL USE OF DREDGED MATERIAL

    The Committee has repeatedly encouraged the Corps to 
implement beneficial use of dredged material as part of the 
construction and maintenance of our Nation's waterways. The 
Committee applauds the Corps efforts to increase beneficial use 
across the enterprise; however, the process remains slow and 
primarily focused on operation and maintenance activities and 
authorities. The Corps is directed to continue implementing 
measures that support beneficial use and ensure annual 
maintenance dredging of deep-draft navigation channels.

                        BUDGET STRUCTURE CHANGES

    The fiscal year 2025 budget request for the Corps proposed 
numerous structural changes, including an account for the 
Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund [HMTF], the shifting of various 
studies and projects between accounts and business lines, and 
the consolidation of certain line items. The Committee rejects 
all such proposed changes and instead recommends funding for 
the requested studies and projects in the manner in which 
funding has traditionally been provided. Unless expressly 
noted, the Committee recommends studies and projects remain at 
the funding levels included in the budget request, but in 
different accounts than in the budget request. In particular:
  --Projects requested in the HMTF account are shown in the 
        Construction, Mississippi River and Tributaries, or 
        Operation and Maintenance accounts, as appropriate;
  --Dam safety modification studies requested in the 
        Investigations and Mississippi River and Tributaries 
        accounts are shown in the Dam Safety and Seepage/
        Stability Correction Program in the Construction 
        account;
  --Disposition studies will continue to be funded under the 
        remaining item line Disposition of Completed Projects 
        in the Investigations account;
  --Dredged material management plans requested in the 
        Investigations account are shown in the Operation and 
        Maintenance account;
  --Interagency and International Support activities is not 
        consolidated within the Coordination with Other Water 
        Resource Agencies remaining item in Investigations;
  --Inspection of Completed Works, Project Condition Surveys, 
        and Scheduling of Reservoir Operations will continue to 
        be funded under States instead of consolidated into a 
        national program as requested in the Operation and 
        Maintenance account and the HMTF account;
  --Inspection of Completed Works will continue to be funded 
        under the individual States instead of consolidated 
        into a national program as requested in the Mississippi 
        River and Tributaries account; and
  --Tribal Partnership projects will continue to be funded 
        under the Tribal Partnership Program remaining item 
        line in the Investigations account as well as in the 
        remaining item line in the Construction account, and 
        these amounts may also be used to cover necessary 
        administrative expenses prior to agreement execution.
    If the Corps proposes budget structure changes in future 
fiscal years, the proposal shall be accompanied by a display of 
the funding request in the traditional budget structure.

                   CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING

    The Committee included congressionally directed spending, 
as defined in section 5(a) of rule XLIV of the Standing Rules 
of the Senate. The Committee funded only projects and studies 
that are authorized by law. In the interest of providing full 
disclosure of funding recommended in this Title, all projects 
requested and funded are listed in a table accompanying this 
report. All of the projects funded in this report have gone 
through the same rigorous process and approvals as those 
proposed by the President.
    The work funded through congressionally directed spending 
has been authorized by Congress and was requested by project 
sponsors and local communities, displaying the importance of 
the work to the American people. Consequently, the Corps is 
directed to continue prioritizing these ongoing studies and 
projects, both in the work plan and future budget requests.

                          CONTINUING CONTRACTS

    The Corps is authorized by section 621 of title 33, United 
States Code to execute Civil Works projects through the use of 
a Special Continuing Contract for Civil Works Projects Clause 
as described in Engineer Circulars 11-2-221 and 11-2-222, and 
the Limitation of Government's Obligation Clause [DFARS 
252.232-7007]. This permits the Corps to award the entire 
contract and fund the contract incrementally until completion, 
regardless of the perceived applicability of OMB Circular A-11. 
This acquisition strategy is well-suited to large, multi-year 
projects, including those with life safety, national security, 
or legal concerns. The Corps is directed to use its existing 
continuing contract authorities in accordance with the general 
provisions in this act for construction projects that cost 
share with the Inland Waterways Trust Fund [IWTF] and dam 
safety projects unless as of the date of enactment of this act 
there is ongoing construction utilizing different contracting 
methods. For projects authorized for multiple facilities, this 
shall be considered for each facility independently.

                  CONTINUING RESOLUTION APPORTIONMENT

    For the purposes of continuing resolutions starting in 
fiscal year 2018, the Office of Management and Budget changed 
the longstanding policy by which funding is apportioned to the 
Civil Works program of the Corps. Under the new policy, funding 
within an individual account was apportioned separately for 
amounts from the general fund of the Treasury and from various 
trust funds. The Committee has long intended the Corps to have 
the flexibility to address projects most in need of funding 
under a continuing resolution. The creation of artificial 
accounting distinctions has the potential to cause serious 
impediments to the efficient and effective implementation of 
the Civil Works program. For example, work on many navigation 
projects is limited by environmental or other regulatory 
windows. Further limitations imposed by separately apportioning 
HMTF monies could cause serious disruptions to the economic 
activity that depends on these navigation channels.
    For these reasons, the Committee disagrees with the change 
in apportionment policy and directs the Administration to 
follow the previous policy during any continuing resolutions 
that may occur in this or any future fiscal years.

                 ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES

    The authorities identifying economically disadvantaged 
communities allow for a reduced, more manageable non-Federal 
cost share, providing a vital tool for assisting these 
communities. The execution of these authorities will require a 
greater Federal cost share. In the work plan and future budget 
requests, the Corps is directed to provide the Committee with a 
list of studies and projects with adjusted cost share using 
this definition and the applicable cost share.

                     HARBOR MAINTENANCE TRUST FUND

    The CARES Act (Public Law 116-136) made certain changes to 
the methods by which funds from the HMTF are treated under 
discretionary budget rules. This funding enables the Corps to 
make significant progress on the backlog of dredging needs, 
which is essential to maintaining national competitiveness in 
international markets, advancing economic development and 
domestic job creation. Unfortunately, the budget request this 
year fails to adequately fund our Nation's harbors. The 
Committee is disappointed the fiscal year 2025 budget request 
only proposes to spend $1,726,000,000 for HMTF-related 
activities, which is $1,361,000,000 below the spending target 
of $3,087,000,000 established by the CARES Act.
    Additionally, Water Resources Development Act [WRDA] of 
2020 made certain changes to the methods by which funds for 
donor and energy transfer ports under section 2106(c) of the 
Water Resources Reform and Development Act [WRRDA] of 2014 are 
treated under discretionary budget rules. The Committee 
recommends $60,000,000 for donor and energy transfer ports.

                        INLAND WATERWAYS SYSTEM

    The inland waterways system is essential for national 
security and for sustaining our global economic competitiveness 
as it serves as an integral component of the Nation's 
intermodal transportation system. Waterways are more efficient 
compared to alternative forms of freight transportation because 
barge transport allows for the movement of more cargo per 
shipment. Barges on the inland system transport many 
commodities including coal, petroleum, grain, and other farm 
products. The Committee remains disappointed and perplexed by 
the budget request's proposal to not spend any of the estimated 
deposits in the IWTF. The importance of modernizing inland 
waterway infrastructure is essential to the Nation's economy.
    Congress continues to invest in inland waterway projects 
and funded all ongoing work to full capability in fiscal year 
2024. All inland waterway projects funded in this act shall be 
funded with 35 percent of the costs of construction, 
replacement, rehabilitation, and expansion of inland waterways 
derived from the IWTF.

                             INVASIVE CARP

    The Corps is undertaking multiple efforts to stop invasive 
carp from reaching the Great Lakes. The Committee notes that 
Congress authorized a comprehensive suite of measures to 
counter invasive carp at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam, 
critical to keeping invasive carp out of the Chicago Area 
Waterways System, which is the only continuous connection 
between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basins. Further, 
Congress also authorized demonstration projects to prevent the 
spread of invasive carp into the Tennessee River and Cumberland 
River watersheds, and the Committee looks forward to continued 
progress on these demonstration projects.
    As the Corps prioritizes projects, it shall consider 
critical projects to prevent the spread of invasive species. 
The Corps is directed to provide quarterly updates to the 
Committee on the progress and status of efforts to prevent the 
further spread of invasive carp, including the Brandon Road 
Recommended Plan and the second array at the Chicago Sanitary 
and Ship Canal; the location and density of carp populations; 
the use of emergency procedures previously authorized by the 
Congress; the development, consideration, and implementation of 
new technological and structural countermeasures; and progress 
on preconstruction, engineering, and design work.
    The Corps shall continue to collaborate at levels 
commensurate with previous years with the U.S. Coast Guard, the 
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the State of Illinois, and 
members of the Invasive Carp Regional Coordinating Committee, 
including identifying navigation protocols that would be 
beneficial or effective in reducing the risk of vessels 
inadvertently carrying aquatic invasive species, including 
invasive carp, through the Brandon Road Lock and Dam in Joliet, 
Illinois. Any findings of such an evaluation shall be included 
in the quarterly briefings to the Committees. The Corps is 
further directed to implement navigation protocols shown to be 
effective at reducing the risk of entrainment without 
jeopardizing the safety of vessels and crews. The Corps and 
other Federal and State agencies are conducting ongoing 
research on additional potential invasive carp solutions. The 
Corps is directed to provide to the Committee not later than 30 
days after enactment of this act a briefing on such navigation 
protocols and potential solutions.

                           ADDITIONAL FUNDING

    The Committee recommends funding above the budget request 
that either was not included in the budget request or was 
inadequately budgeted. A study or project may not be excluded 
from evaluation for additional funding due to its inconsistency 
with administration policy. None of the funds may be used for 
any item for which the Committee has specifically denied 
funding.
    The Administration is reminded these funds are in addition 
to its budget request, and Administration budget metrics shall 
not be a reason to disqualify a study or project from being 
funded. The focus of the allocation process shall favor the 
obligation, rather than the expenditure, of funds for work in 
fiscal year 2025.
    Funding associated with each category of Additional Funding 
may be allocated, as appropriate, to any eligible study or 
project within that category; funding associated with each 
subcategory may be allocated only to eligible studies or 
projects, within that subcategory.
    Work Plan.--Not later than 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act, the Corps shall provide to the Committee 
a work plan consistent with the following general guidance, as 
well as the specific direction the Committee provides within 
each account: (1) a detailed description of the rating 
system(s) developed and used to evaluate studies and projects; 
(2) delineation of how these funds are to be allocated; (3) a 
summary of the work to be accomplished with each allocation, 
including phase of work and the study or project's remaining 
cost to complete (excluding Operation and Maintenance); and (4) 
a list of all studies and projects that were considered 
eligible for funding but did not receive funding, including an 
explanation of whether the study or project could have used 
funds in fiscal year 2025 and the specific reasons each study 
or project was considered less competitive for allocation of 
funds.
    The Administration shall not delay apportioning the funding 
for congressionally directed spending while developing the work 
plan for additional funding. The initiation of construction of 
an individually authorized project funded within a programmatic 
line item shall not require a new start designation if some 
amount of construction funding under such programmatic line 
item was appropriated and expended during the previous fiscal 
year. The Committee urges the Corps within its Flood and 
Coastal Storm Damage Reduction mission to strive for a balance 
between inland and coastal projects. The Committee notes uneven 
representation in the President's Budget Request of the needs 
of unique water challenges faced by the non-contiguous States 
and territories. The Corps is encouraged to assess the unique 
needs of non-contiguous States and territories arising from 
their isolation, geographical features, and unique socio-
economic character when providing additional funding. The Corps 
is encouraged to support opportunities to restore critical 
habitat and enhance the Nation's economic development, job 
growth, and international competitiveness. The Corps is 
reminded of the consideration it is to provide to remote and 
subsistence harbor projects per 33 U.S. Code 2242.
    New Starts.--The Committee includes new starts in 
Investigations and Mississippi River and Tributaries. The 
recommendation also includes one new start in Investigations. 
Of the new starts in Investigations, one shall be for a multi-
purpose study authorized in WRDA 2022 that includes water 
supply as part of the authority. No further new starts are 
recommended in this act. The Corps is directed to propose a 
single group of new starts as a part of the work plan. The 
Corps may not change or substitute the new starts selected once 
the work plan has been provided to the Committee.
    The following shall not require a new start or new 
investment decision and shall be considered ongoing work:
  --To initiate work on a separable element of a project when 
        construction of one or more separable elements of that 
        project was initiated previously;
  --Study or construction activities related to individual 
        projects authorized under section 1037 of WRRDA;
  --Any authorized environmental infrastructure project;
  --Work undertaken to correct a design deficiency on an 
        existing Federal project; and
  --Projects that have previously received construction funding 
        for authorized work.

                         REPORTING REQUIREMENT

    The Corps shall provide a quarterly report to the 
Committee, which includes the total budget authority and 
unobligated balances by year for each program, project, or 
activity, including any prior year appropriations. The 
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) shall provide a 
quarterly report to the Committee, which includes the total 
budget amount and unobligated balances by year for salaries, 
travel, and other expenses funded in the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) account, 
including any prior year appropriations. The Assistant 
Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) shall provide a detailed 
plan no later than 90 days after enactment of this act which 
includes future funding needs for upgrading the cost management 
systems so that this report can be automated by fiscal year 
2026.

                             REPROGRAMMING

    The Committee is retaining the reprogramming legislation 
provided in the Energy and Water Development and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-94).

                          UPDATED CAPABILITIES

    Given the nature of the Civil Works program, the Committee 
understands the assumptions made in the budget request 
regarding the amount of work that can be accomplished in fiscal 
year 2025 for a particular project can change for a number of 
unforeseen reasons. The Committee expects updated capabilities 
will be addressed and adjusted using the latest data available 
at that time.

                             INVESTIGATIONS

Funded in another account.
Funded in remaining items.
*Includes funds requested in Projects Listed Under States within this
  account.

    Arkansas Red River Chloride.--The Committee rejects the 
budget request to fund a disposition study of this project.
    Bird Drive Basin Conveyance, Seepage Collection, and 
Recharge.--The Committee encourages the Corps to work with the 
Department of the Interior and the South Florida Water 
Management District to quickly identify a consensus project 
footprint between SW 8th Street and the C-1W Canal to the 
south, immediately east of Krome Avenue. This work is intended 
to enable Miami-Dade County and MDX to begin necessary land 
acquisitions in support of the creation of a West Kendall 
Everglades Buffer and progress towards completing this 
important element of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration 
Plan.
    Cahokia Heights & East St. Louis, Illinois.--The Committee 
supports the ongoing Flood Hazard Analysis in the Piat Place 
and Lower Harding Ditch area of Cahokia Heights and East St. 
Louis, Illinois. The Committee understands the analysis will be 
completed in 2025 and encourages the Corps to continue to fund 
this work under Flood Plain Management Services.
    Central and South Florida Project.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of the Central and South Florida 
Project and urges the Corps to maintain continued attention to 
the need of the South Florida economy and environment for a 
functioning flood control system.
    Chicago Shoreline.--The Committee reiterates the WRDA 2020 
Conference Report, which requires the Chicago Shoreline to be a 
focus area of the Great Lakes Coastal Resiliency Study.
    Disposition Studies.--The Corps speculates that cost 
savings can be derived from reductions of project operation and 
maintenance or divestiture of assets no longer providing 
benefits that warrant continued Federal investment. The 
Committee has generally supported these efforts through the 
funding of disposition studies but is frustrated with the lack 
of progress since originally funding this effort in 2016. A 
disposition study shall not be initiated or continued without a 
non-Federal entity willing to assume ownership or 
responsibilities for an asset, otherwise resources are used to 
complete a study with no actionable way to divest the asset. 
The Corps is encouraged to consider revisions to policy that 
only recommends disposition studies that have been individually 
authorized and have a signed letter of intent from a non-
Federal entity to assume ownership of the asset. Within 60 days 
of enactment of this act, the Corps shall brief the Committee 
on such proposed policy revisions.
    Inventory of Dams-Low-Head Dam Inventory.--The Committee is 
pleased with the Corps' initial efforts to develop a low-head 
dam inventory and recommends additional funding of $800,000 to 
continue database development.
    Planning Assistance to States.--Within the Planning 
Assistance to States program, the Committee reminds the Corps 
that operational flexibility of dams is eligible work.
    Research and Development-Hydrology of Saline Lake 
Ecosystems.--The Corps is encouraged to research methods to 
monitor and assess the hydrology of saline lake ecosystems in 
the Great Basin per section 8143 of WRDA 2022.
    Research and Development-National Academy of Sciences 
Materials Report.--The Committee understands the Corps is 
utilizing funding provided in fiscal year 2023 to conduct a 
materials report and understands the report will be completed 
in 2025. The Corps is directed to brief the Committee within 60 
days of the completion of the report.
    Research and Development-Manage Emerging Threats and 
Resilience for Flood Control Structures.--The Corps is 
encouraged to research, test, and refine the use of rapid, 
repeatable, and remote methods for long-term monitoring of 
critical water infrastructure and to partner with academia to 
research and manage emerging threats and attain resilience for 
flood control structures.
    South Fork of the South Branch of the Chicago River.--The 
Committee strongly encourages the Corps and the Environmental 
Protection Agency to continue interagency discussions on a 
project management structure that will limit the Corps 
liabilities and allow the project to move to construction.
    The Committee directs the Corps to brief the Committee on 
the status of the negotiations within 30 days of enactment of 
this act.
    Upper Rio Grande Basin.--The Committee recognizes the 
ecological, economic, cultural, and historic importance of the 
Upper Rio Grande Basin, including the Heron, El Vado, Abiquiu, 
Cochiti, Jemez Canyon, Elephant Butte, and Caballo Dams and 
Reservoirs. The increasing stress on water supply requires a 
comprehensive approach with Reclamation on water and reservoir 
management, operation issues, and climate resiliency within the 
Upper Rio Grande Basin. Accordingly, the Corps is directed to 
brief the Committee within 90 days of the enactment of this act 
on existing authorities that can be used for collaboration and 
future work that can be done.
    Wilmington Harbor.--The Committee supports the Wilmington 
Harbor and Navigation Improvement Project, but is disappointed 
that more progress has not been made on the project to date. 
The Committee encourages the Corps to pursue ways to expedite 
the remaining project timeline.
    Additional Funding.--The Corps is directed to allocate 
these additional funds in accordance with the direction in the 
front matter under the heading ``Additional Funding.'' The 
Corps shall include appropriate funding in future budget 
submissions for new feasibility studies initiated in fiscal 
year 2025.

                   PLANNING, ENGINEERING, AND DESIGN

Appropriations, 2024....................................................
Budget estimate, 2025...................................................
Committee recommendation................................    $200,000,000

    The Committee recommends $200,000,000 for Planning, 
Engineering, and Design. Funding in this account is used for 
plans and specifications prior to construction 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.
    The Committee has created this new account to combat some 
of the challenges facing the Corps and non-Federal sponsors. 
This new account will allow the Corps to focus on design 
maturity of authorized projects during the next phase of work 
after a feasibility study, which is Planning, Engineering, and 
Design. The Committee is aware that the Corps has the ability 
to do this work in the Investigations Account, but chooses to 
do minimal Planning, Engineering, and Design work before 
receiving a Construction new start and then finishes designing 
the project once it has received Federal Construction funds, 
which is no longer a tenable solution.
    In order to comply with WRRDA 2014 study duration and cost 
requirements, the Corps has shifted to more risk-informed 
decision-making in feasibility studies. The focusing of 
feasibility studies to examine a water resources problem and 
identify a feasible solution that can be authorized has been 
successful. Ultimately, a study should not be focused on 
engineering the entire project. However, at some point the 
project needs to be designed in a comprehensive manner.
    The Corps has increasingly shifted this critical design 
work to construction, which has led to increased cost 
contingencies. The result is increased costs and duration over 
the course of construction as the Corps completes full design. 
This reality impacts the ability of the Committee and non-
Federal sponsors to effectively plan resources. The Committee 
appreciates the recent efforts the Corps has undertaken to 
improve cost estimates, but more change is needed.
    Recognizing that no two projects are the same and a one 
size solution does not fit for the Corps portfolio, the 
Committee fully supports more expedient construction of water 
resources development projects because such projects provide 
protection to the public, environment, and positively impact 
the economy. However, more extensive design work is needed 
before a new construction start to provide more assurance of 
project scope, challenges, and cost estimates to both the 
Committee and non-Federal sponsors.
    Further, critical efficiencies in contracting and workload 
balancing are lost or never realized because the full project 
is not quantified at the outset. Considering the Corps has yet 
to submit the construction funding schedules report that has 
been previously and repeatedly required by the Committee, it is 
anticipated that the work completed within this account will 
allow a greater understanding of the current and future funding 
requirements within the Corps' construction portfolio. A 
comprehensive outlook of these dynamic requirements is 
necessary for Congress to consider and balance funding 
allocations annually, and to assess the long-term effects of 
new investment decisions.

    Project Cost Updates.--The Committee is aware that the 
Corps has a policy that requires regular updates of the 
economics and costs of authorized projects that have not yet 
received construction funds, but such updates are not feasible 
without funds. The lasting impacts of delinquent updates has 
become apparent with recent supplemental projects as certain 
project cost estimates were stale, causing significant cost 
escalations. Funding is included for updates to authorized 
projects that have not received Construction funds where those 
updates are necessary to recertify project costs or verify 
economic justification. The Corps is highly encouraged to 
recommend funding for project cost updates in future budget 
submissions.
    Additional Funding.--A new start or construction 
authorization shall not be required to move a project from 
Investigations to Planning, Engineering, and Design. The 
Committee expects the Corps will reach an intermediate level of 
design during the Planning, Engineering, and Design phase on 
the entire authorized project or multiple significant separable 
elements before recommending a project for Construction funds 
for those projects that have yet to receive Federal 
Construction funds. Further, the Committee expects the Corps 
will recommend funds in this account in future budget 
submissions.

    The Committee recommends $2,979,041,000 for Construction. 
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 HMTF will be applied to cover the 
Federal share of the Dredged Material Disposal Facilities 
Program.

Committee understands the Corps has sufficient funding for 
fiscal year 2025 activities for watercraft inspection stations 
and rapid response as authorized in section 104 of the River 
and Harbor Act of 1958, subsections (d)(1)(A)(i), 
(d)(1)(A)(ii), (d)(1)(A)(iii), (d)(1)(A)(iv), and (d)(1)(A)(v); 
and related monitoring.
    Further, $7,500,000 shall be to address infestations of 
hydrilla in Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River, Lake 
Erie, and Ohio River Basins. The Corps is encouraged to 
prioritize Mosquito Creek Lake and to consider the benefits of 
establishing a rapid response task force to cover the 
Connecticut River watershed.
    Finally, the Committee recommends $1,000,000 for the Corps 
to establish a pilot program to remove invasive plant species 
in riparian areas that contribute to drought conditions in the 
Lower Colorado River Basin, the Rio Grande River Basin, the 
Texas Gulf Coast Basin, and the Arkansas-White-Red Basin, per 
section 8305 of WRDA 2022.
    Aquatic Plant Control Program-Mississippi River Basin.--The 
Committee recognizes that the Corps is engaged in a 
multipronged effort to combat invasive species in our country's 
waterways and protect the Mississippi River Basin, which is one 
of the most valued ecosystems in the world. The Committee 
recommends $10,500,000 for the Corps, in partnership with other 
Federal partners, to continue planning, designing, engineering 
and project management activities, and to begin construction of 
carp barriers in the Mississippi River Basin and the Tennessee-
Tombigbee waterways. The Corps is directed to brief the 
Committee on a plan for prioritization of location of barrier 
construction prior to obligation of funds.
    Beneficial Use of Dredged Material.--The Committee 
encourages the Corps to prioritize issuing updated 
implementation guidance for a renewed solicitation of section 
1122 Beneficial Use of Dredged Material project proposals. 
Additional funding is recommended to continue the 10 pilot 
projects. The Corps is directed to brief the Committee prior to 
any effort to solicit or select any additional pilot projects 
for this program.
    Brandon Road.--The Committee is concerned about the lack of 
progress on the Brandon Road Project, a critically important 
initiative to maintain navigation of the Illinois River while 
protecting the Great Lakes from an invasive species that 
threatens our Nation's largest bodies of fresh water. 
Additionally, the Committee is concerned about the lack of 
timely communication with project sponsors, stakeholders, and 
Congressional offices. In order to ensure the project remains 
on schedule, the Corps is directed to provide a quarterly 
report to the Committee on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress on the status of the project, including any 
significant changes in cost.
    Central Everglades Planning Project.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of restoring America's Everglades, 
and strongly encourages the Corps to expedite the required 
validation reports for PPA North. The Committee strongly 
encourages the Corps to design and construct the recently-
authorized Everglades Agricultural Area Storage Reservoir as 
quickly as possible to utilize the expanded water delivery 
capabilities of completed PPA South elements.
    Charleston Harbor.--The funding is recommended for 
reimbursement of the advanced funds provided by the non-Federal 
sponsor to cover the Federal share of the cost of the National 
Economic Development plan. The Committee is aware the non-
Federal sponsor may be eligible for additional reimbursement in 
the future. Consistent with section 8362 of WRDA 2022, the 
Corps is encouraged to expeditiously complete the required 
close out activities to ensure timely reimbursement to the non-
Federal sponsor.
    Chattahoochee River Program Comprehensive Plan, Georgia.--
Once a non-Federal sponsor has been identified, the Committee 
encourages the Corps to move forward expeditiously with the 
completion of the comprehensive plan required by Public Law 
117-263.
    Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal Dispersal Barrier, 
Illinois.--No funds recommended in this act may be used for 
construction of hydrologic separation measures.
    Continuing Authorities Program.--The Committee recommends 
$75,500,000 for the Continuing Authorities Program [CAP]. CAP 
is a useful tool for the Corps to undertake small localized 
projects without being encumbered by the lengthy study and 
authorization phases typical of most Corps projects. The 
management of CAP shall continue consistent with direction 
provided in previous fiscal years.
    Environmental Infrastructure.--Authorized environmental 
infrastructure programs and projects shall not require a new 
start designation. This includes projects in regional 
authorities that have not received funding and projects 
authorized under section 219 of the WRDA of 1992 (Public Law 
102-580) as amended. The Committee reminds the Corps that 
environmental infrastructure authorities include caps on 
Federal participation, but do not provide a guarantee that the 
project authorization level will be met. Projects shall only 
receive funding if there is a separable element that can be 
funded to completion in a fiscal year without the requirement 
for continued funding in future years.
    Mamaroneck, New York.--The Committee recognizes the 
importance of this project to the life safety of the community 
and encourages the Corps to continue implementing this critical 
flood and storm damage reduction project.
    Mount Saint Helens Project.--A 2017 National Academies of 
Sciences, Engineering and Medicine report established a 
decision framework for managing the Spirit Lake and Toutle 
River System at Mt. St. Helens. The report recommends that 
long-term management be informed by current characterizations 
of the debris blockage damming the lake. Specifically, the 
report concluded that such an examination could include a 
quantitative risk assessment, benefit-cost analyses, and 
analyses of other data. The Committee directs the Corps to 
engage with the U.S. Forest Service on ways to implement the 
recommendations of the report to help address these long 
standing issues. The Corps shall provide a briefing to the 
Committee on recommended collaboration opportunities and future 
steps to establish a decision framework no later than 180 days 
after enactment of this act.
    New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam, Georgia and South 
Carolina.--The Committee maintains interest in the New Savannah 
Bluff Lock and Dam and recognizes the long standing challenges 
of the project. The Committee encourages the Corps to work with 
all stakeholders towards a mutually beneficial resolution that 
will ensure that historical water levels, existing activities, 
and functions are maintained, consistent with the intent of 
section 1319 of the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the 
Nation Act [WIIN] of 2016.
    Riverbank Erosion.--The Committee encourages the Corps to 
prioritize projects to stabilize the Indiana shoreline of the 
Ohio River damaged by the operation of federally-owned dams on 
the Ohio River as authorized in section 9 of the 1946 Flood 
Control Act (33 U.S.C. 701q). The Corps is reminded that this 
project is eligible to compete for the additional funding 
provided in this account.
    Restoration of Abandoned Mine Sites, Tribal Partnerships.--
The Committee recognizes that abandoned and inactive hardrock 
mine sites in the western United States pose water quality 
challenges for Tribal communities and that many Tribes have 
struggled to receive adequate assistance to identify and 
remediate risks. The Committee is pleased with the Corps 
progress to increase effectiveness of this important program 
and recommends additional funds to continue this work.
    Shore Protection Easements.--The Committee notes the 
importance of periodic restoration of shore protection projects 
and their significance for the protection of public safety, 
public infrastructure, native vegetation and wildlife, as well 
as economy stability in oceanfront communities. The Committee 
is concerned by the Corps' interpretation of section 103(d) of 
WRDA 1986 and an act of July 28, 1956 (33 U.S.C. 426e(d)) that 
would require local sponsors to acquire perpetual easements 
along the entire expanse of a project, even if no construction 
will occur on the privately-owned portion of the beach. The 
Committee understands the challenges facing local governments 
in obtaining the necessary approvals for required easements 
when no work will be performed on the property for which the 
easement is being required under the Corps' current 
interpretation of the law. The Committee encourages the Corps 
to work with local governments to incorporate flexibility 
afforded in the most recent project agreement language that 
allows for incremental acquisition of easements necessary for 
the construction of the scheduled nourishment.
    South Florida Ecosystem Restoration [SFER].--The Committee, 
Department of the Interior, and non-Federal project sponsors 
rely on accurate and timely budget information for SFER 
projects from the Corps. For fiscal year 2025, the Committee 
directs the Corps to ensure the accuracy of all budget 
justification sheets that inform SFER Integrated Financial Plan 
documents by September 30, 2025.
    Tribal Partnership Program [TPP].--The Committee recommends 
additional funding for the TPP, with discretion given to the 
Corps to manage projects appropriately as it balances workload 
within districts, coordinates cost-share agreements, and 
executes other programmatic responsibilities in accordance with 
the program's intent and authorities.
    Tribal Partnership Program--Northwestern Division Pilot 
Program.--The Committee is concerned at the lack of TPP 
projects being carried out in conjunction with Tribes in the 
Pacific Northwest. The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to 
identify and execute 10 ecosystem restoration projects in 
conjunction with federally recognized Tribes in the 
Northwestern Division on or near rivers or tributaries where 
the Tribe acting as the non-Federal sponsor has Tribal treaty 
rights. Five of these projects shall be focused on the Mid-
Columbia region for salmon and steelhead populations. In 
carrying out this pilot program, the Corps is directed to use 
TPP authorities in addition to any other applicable authorities 
necessary.
    Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program [UMRR], Quincy 
Bay.--Over the past 70 years, river traffic has led to the 
environmental degradation of Quincy Bay. Therefore, the 
Committee encourages the Corps to prioritize the environmental 
restoration project in Quincy Bay near Quincy, Illinois as a 
Tier 1 project for immediate commencement through the UMMR 
Program.
    Additional Funding.--The Corps shall allocate these 
additional funds in accordance with the direction in the front 
matter under the heading ``Additional Funding.'' The Corps 
shall not condition these funds, or any funds appropriated in 
this act, on a non-Federal interest paying more than their 
required share in any phase of a project. Of the additional 
funding provided in this account for environmental restoration 
or compliance and other authorized project purposes, the Corps 
shall allocate not less than $2,785,000 for multistate 
ecosystem restoration programs for which a comprehensive 
restoration plan is in development or has been completed. The 
Committee urges the Corps to prioritize Federal reimbursements 
for flood and storm damage reduction projects and directs the 
Corps to allocate not less than $20,000,000 to authorized 
reimbursements for flood and storm damage projects with 
executed project partnership agreements that have completed 
construction and where non-Federal sponsors intend to use the 
funds for additional water resources development activities.
    When allocating the additional funding recommended in this 
account, the Corps is encouraged to evaluate authorized 
reimbursements in the same manner as if the projects were being 
evaluated for new or ongoing construction and shall consider 
giving priority to the following:
  --Benefits of the funded work to the National economy;
  --Extent to which the work will enhance national, regional, 
        or local economic development;
  --Number of jobs created directly by the funded activity;
  --Ability to obligate the funds allocated within the calendar 
        year, including consideration of the ability of the 
        non-Federal sponsor to provide any required cost share;
  --Ability to complete the project, separable element, or 
        project phase with the funds allocated;
  --Legal requirements, including responsibilities to Tribes;
  --For flood and storm damage reduction projects (including 
        authorized nonstructural measures and periodic beach 
        renourishments): population, safety of life, economic 
        activity, or public infrastructure at risk, as 
        appropriate; the severity of risk of flooding or the 
        frequency with which an area has experienced flooding; 
        and preservation of historically significant 
        communities, culture, and heritage;
  --For navigation projects, the number of jobs or level of 
        economic activity to be supported by completion of the 
        project, separable element, or project phase;
  --For environmental infrastructure, projects in rural 
        communities, projects with greater economic impact, 
        projects in counties or parishes with high poverty 
        rates, projects owed past reimbursements, and projects 
        that provide backup raw water supply in the event of an 
        emergency.

Requested in remaining items.


    Lower Mississippi River Main Stem.--The budget request 
proposes to consolidate several activities across multiple 
States into one line item. The Committee rejects this change 
and instead recommends continuing to fund these activities as 
separate line items.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--When allocating the 
additional funding recommended in this account, the Corps shall 
consider giving priority to completing or accelerating ongoing 
work that will enhance the Nation's economic development, job 
growth, and international competitiveness, or to studies or 
projects located in areas that have suffered recent natural 
disasters. While this funding is shown under remaining items, 
the Corps shall use these funds in investigations, 
construction, and operation and maintenance, as applicable.
    The Committee recognizes the importance of erosion control 
in headwater streams and tributaries, and the environmental, 
water quality, and sediment reduction benefits it provides 
downstream. When allocating additional funds recommended in 
this account, the Corps is directed to give adequate 
consideration to cooperative projects addressing watershed 
erosion, sedimentation, flooding, and environmental 
degradation.

*Includes funds requested in other accounts.
Requested in remaining items.
Funded under projects listed under states.

    Aquatic Nuisance Control Research.--The additional funding 
recommended in the Aquatic Nuisance Control Research remaining 
item is to supplement and advance Corps activities to address 
Harmful Algal Blooms including early detection, prevention, and 
management techniques and procedures to reduce the occurrence 
and impacts of harmful algal blooms associated with water 
resources development projects and in our Nation's water 
resources, such as Lake Okeechobee, Florida. The Committee 
recommends $5,000,000 to develop next generation ecological 
models to maintain inland and intracoastal waterways and 
$5,000,000 to work with university partners to develop 
prediction, avoidance, and remediation measures focused on 
environmental triggers in riverine ecosystems.
    Asset Management/Facilities and Equipment Maintenance 
[FEM].--The Committee understands the Corps has completed the 
report required in section 6002 of the WRRDA of 2014, but the 
report remains under review. The Committee is disappointed that 
the report was not submitted as directed in the Fiscal Year 
2024 Act. The Committee recommends $6,000,000 for the 
structural health monitoring program to facilitate research to 
maximize operations, enhance efficiency, and protect asset life 
through catastrophic failure mitigation; $5,100,000 to expand 
academic and industry partnerships related to composite 
material durability; and $2,200,000 for mitigation of 
overtopping damage in geotechnical projects for research on 
Geo-Erosion Monitoring Systems for monitoring civil works water 
resources projects.
    Bradford Island.--The Committee is pleased that the Corps 
signed the Federal Facilities Agreement on the Bradford Island 
Superfund Site, a critical step forward in the cleanup process. 
The Committee encourages the Corps to prioritize the cleanup in 
accordance with the Site Management Plan and to work 
cooperatively with the States of Washington and Oregon, Tribes 
with recognized treaty rights, and other Tribal interests in 
the area. In particular, the Corps should emphasize the early 
removal of the landfill, which poses an imminent contamination 
threat to the river. In addition, the Committee encourages the 
Corps to make every effort to collaborate with the Yakama 
Nation in accordance with the 2023 Memorandum of Understanding, 
which recognizes the Yakama Nation's significant interests in 
and around Bradford Island, and memorializes the Corps' 
commitment to including the Yakama Nation in all technical and 
policy aspects of the cleanup.
    Coastal Inlets Research Program.--The Committee understands 
that communities, infrastructure, and resources tied to coastal 
regions are vulnerable to damage from extreme coastal events 
and long-term coastal change. Funding in addition to the budget 
request is recommended for collaboration with the National 
Weather Center, Corps-led, multi-university efforts to identify 
engineering frameworks to address coastal resilience needs; to 
develop adaptive pathways that lead to coastal resilience; to 
measure the coastal forces that lead to infrastructure damage 
and erosion during extreme storm events; and to improve 
coupling of terrestrial and coastal models.
    Coastal Ocean Data System [CODS].--The Committee is 
disappointed the Corps used funding provided for the base 
program in fiscal year 2024 for strategic research and 
development activities. The Committee finds it illogical to 
fund research and development while neglecting tangible ongoing 
work. Thus, the Committee recommends $15,700,000 for the base 
program which includes only the following ongoing efforts: wave 
observations, wave information studies, storm event data sets, 
integrated ocean observing system participation, and the 
CorpsCam operational data system. Of the funding recommended 
for the base program, no less than $7,500,000 shall be for 
long-term coastal wave and coastal sediment observations, 
research, and data products that support sustainable coastal 
and navigation projects. Further, the Committee supports the 
Corps' efforts to continue developing an integrated modeling 
system that can be utilized to evaluate subsurface drain 
systems for consideration of future potential flood risk or 
coastal storm risk reduction measures in project development 
and recommends $2,900,000 for these efforts. The Committee 
recommends no funding for Snow-Informed Reservoir Operations, 
instead funds are recommended in Water Operations and Technical 
Support because the purpose of this work is to link with 
ongoing Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations activities.
    Cuyahoga River Old Channel Remediation.--The Committee is 
pleased that progress is being made to remediate the Cuyahoga 
River Old Channel. As the Corps completes the design report, 
the Corps is encouraged to consider and incorporate 
opportunities for community economic development into the final 
design.
    Donor & Energy Transfer Ports.--The Committee directs the 
Corps to allocate any work plan HMTF funding for Donor and 
Energy Transfer Ports consistent with section 102 and section 
104 of WRDA 2020 (Public Law 116-260). The Corps is reminded 
that Donor and Energy Transfer Ports are eligible to receive 
additional funding recommended in the deep-draft harbor and 
channel funding line for expanded uses.
    Dredging Operations Technical Support Program [DOTS].--The 
Committee recommends additional funding for DOTS to support the 
research and application of artificial intelligence, machine 
learning, and advanced modeling capabilities to improve 
streamflow forecasting for channel shoaling and dredging to 
help reduce interruptions in waterborne inland commerce as a 
result of flooding and other silting activities.
    Engineering With Nature [EWN].--With the funds recommended, 
the Corps is encouraged to continue collaboration across 
research programs on nature-based infrastructure and with 
university partners to develop standards, design guidance, and 
testing protocols to fully evaluate and standardize nature-
based and hybrid infrastructure solutions, including those in 
drought and fire-prone lands and post-fire recovery areas. The 
Committee recommends $500,000 for the Corps to explore coastal 
restoration optimized for blue carbon CO2 
sequestration. Funding under this line item is intended for EWN 
activities having a national or regional scope or that benefit 
the Corps' broader execution of its mission areas. It is not 
intended to replace or preclude the appropriate use of EWN 
practices at districts using project-specific funding, or work 
performed across other Corps programs that might involve EWN.
    Of the funding recommended, $13,000,000 is included to 
support ongoing research and advance work with university 
partners to develop standards, design guidance, and testing 
protocols to improve and standardize nature-based and hybrid 
infrastructure solutions. Additionally, the Corps is encouraged 
to expand the EWN initiative to support science and engineering 
practices that support long-term resilience and sustainability 
of water infrastructure and their supporting systems. Of the 
funding recommended, $7,000,000 is included to support research 
and development of natural infrastructure solutions for the 
Nation's bays and estuaries, to design innovative nature-based 
infrastructure with landscape architecture, coastal modeling, 
and engineering.
    Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund Targets.--Donor and energy 
ports are critical to our National supply chain and stable HMTF 
funding for expanded uses is fundamental to maintaining 
international competitiveness. Full HMTF funding can assist 
with capital improvements at these critical ports which already 
pay a significant share of the collected tax. The Committee 
directs the Corps to meet the donor and energy target in the 
fiscal year 2025 work plan and include the funding in future 
budget submissions. Similarly, the Great Lakes Navigation 
System [GLNS] is the backbone of our Nation's manufacturing, 
industrial, building, and agricultural economies. Each year, 
more than 175 million tons of commodities are carried through 
the GLNS. The Committee is pleased the Corps met the target in 
fiscal year 2024 and strongly encourages the continued 
investment in this critical water system.
    The Committee understands the Corps is developing 
implementation guidance for executing HMTF targets and is 
pleased with this development. The Corps is encouraged to fully 
engage with stakeholders while developing this guidance. 
Finally, in conjunction with the fiscal year 2025 work plan, 
the Corps is directed to provide the Committee a list of all 
projects, expanded uses, and HMTF funding amounts for each 
section 102 WRDA target.
    Harlan County Dam Repairs.--The Committee is aware that 
there are Corps facilities where Reclamation contracts water 
supply to non-Federal water contractors, such as Harlan County 
Dam, and such non-Federal water contractors must repay their 
share of total joint use operation and maintenance costs to 
Reclamation for costs incurred by the Corps for such projects. 
The Corps shall meet with non-Federal water contractors, 
including representatives of Reclamation, to provide a detailed 
explanation of past operation and maintenance charges incurred 
at Harlan County Dam. At a minimum, the discussion shall 
include how joint use charges are assigned, and how dam safety 
costs are determined for extraordinary maintenance projects, 
such as the Ogee Spillway repairs, and prospectively provide 
operation and maintenance cost estimates, including any planned 
extraordinary maintenance projects. The Committee expects these 
engagements to occur annually.
    Inland Water Navigation Charts.--The Committee recognizes 
the importance of well-maintained, safe, navigable inland 
waterways within the United States, which includes accurate 
placement of waterway navigation aids, specifically buoys. The 
Committee recommends not less than $4,800,000 for an inland 
waterway digital navigation buoys pilot program. Additionally, 
$2,000,000 is recommended for the eHydro program to modernize 
and enhance the distribution of the navigation charts, and 
$2,000,000 to support the transition of the National Dredging 
Quality Management Program's automated dredging monitoring data 
to a cloud environment.
    Inspection of Completed Federal Flood Control Projects.--
The Committee encourages the Corps to continue prioritizing 
conducting risk assessments of high-risk federally authorized 
levee systems.
    Kennebec River Long-Term Maintenance Dredging.--The 
Committee continues to support the Memorandum of Agreement 
signed in January 2019 denoting responsibilities between the 
Department of the Army and the Department of the Navy for the 
regular maintenance of the Kennebec River Federal Navigation 
Channel. The Committee is concerned that the channel is not 
currently being maintained to the required depth on an annual 
basis, affecting the movement of Navy surface combatants. The 
Committee directs the Department of the Army and the Department 
of the Navy to respond with the appropriate resources and 
planning to ensure that the channel is passable annually--per 
the Memorandum of Agreement--to ensure the navigability of the 
Kennebec River for the test, trial, and delivery of newly 
constructed Navy surface combatants to the Atlantic Ocean.
    McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System [MKARNS].--
The Committee recognizes the importance of the MKARNS as an 
established Marine Highway for waterborne commerce. The 
Committee is aware that there is critical maintenance backlog 
on the MKARNS with project components having a higher 
probability of failure in the next 5 years, which could 
significantly impact operations of the locks or navigation 
pools. However, the Administration continually recommends 
budget amounts to address only a fraction of the critical 
maintenance backlog. The Committee encourages the Corps to 
budget appropriately to address the critical maintenance 
backlog on the MKARNS.
    Mobile Bay Beneficial Use of Dredged Material.--The 
Committee recognizes the critical importance of periodic 
shoreline restoration, wetland creation, beach nourishment, and 
their significance in supporting public safety and protecting 
underserved communities, public infrastructure, native 
vegetation and wildlife, and the local economy. The Committee 
encourages the Corps to examine beneficial uses of dredged 
material in Mobile Bay, Alabama, to include both the Upper 
Mobile Bay and Dauphin Island as potential beneficial use 
sites.
    Monitoring of Completed Navigation Projects--Fisheries.--
The Committee is concerned that a reduction in or elimination 
of navigational lock operations on the Nation's inland 
waterways is having a negative impact on river ecosystems, 
particularly the ability of endangered, threatened, and game 
fish species to migrate through waterways, during critical 
spawning periods. The Committee notes the success of 
preliminary research, which indicates reduced lock operations 
on certain Corps-designated low-use waterways is directly 
impacting migration and that there are effective means to 
mitigate the impacts. The Committee continues to believe that 
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 be critical to species 
survival. The Committee supports the ongoing research. Of the 
funding recommended, $6,000,000 shall be to expand the research 
to assist the Corps across all waterways, lock structures, lock 
operation methods, and fish species that will more fully inform 
the Corps' operations. Additionally, funding of $2,000,000 is 
recommended for the National Information Collaboration on 
Ecohydraulics effort by the Corps to expand, on a national 
basis, the ongoing research on the impact of reduced lock 
operations on riverine fish.
    National Coastal Mapping Program.--The Committee continues 
to support the efforts of the National Coastal Mapping Program, 
but also recognizes the challenges to collect the necessary 
data to meet current critical, emerging, and post-disaster 
requirements along the U.S. coastline. The Committee encourages 
the Corps to continue mapping the continental U.S. coast. 
Additionally, funding of $6,200,000 is recommended for Alaska 
coastal community mapping and coastal resiliency activities, 
and $6,600,000 is recommended for mapping of U.S. Territories 
and Possessions.
    North Atlantic Division Report on Hurricane Barriers and 
Harbors of Refuge.--The Committee continues to express the 
importance of the North Atlantic Division report on hurricane 
barriers and harbors of refuge mandated under section 1218 of 
America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018. While the Corps has 
completed an initial report focused on the New England area, 
the report is not complete. Of the funding recommended for 
Reducing Civil Works Vulnerabilities, $1,000,000 is recommended 
for this report.
    Okatibbee Reservoir-Water Storage Contract.--The Secretary 
shall update the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this 
act on opportunities to renegotiate the contract executed on 
April 23, 1965 between the U.S. and the Pat Harrison Waterway 
District [PHWD] for water storage space in Okatibbee Reservoir 
(Okatibbee Creek, Mississippi). This update should address 
opportunities to reduce or forgive PHWD obligations due under 
this contract. Municipal and industrial water supply was 
authorized as one of Okatibbee Reservoir's purposes based on 
the expectation that a reliable water supply would benefit 
future regional economic and/or population growth. However, 
since 1965, the PHWD has only used a portion of its contractual 
water storage.
    Regional Dredge Contracting.--The Committee encourages the 
Corps to continue to more fully utilize regional contracts to 
efficiently execute unobligated HMTF funds. The significant and 
consistent amounts of additional HMTF funding provides 
additional opportunities for the Corps to use a more efficient 
and holistic approach to dredge contracts. The Corps shall 
brief the Committee within 30 days of enactment of this act on 
opportunities to increase regional contracts and any 
impediments.
    Regional Sediment Management.--Additional funding is 
recommended for cooperation and coordination with the Great 
Lakes States to develop sediment transport models for Great 
Lakes tributaries that discharge to Federal navigation 
channels.
    Remote Lock Operations Transparency.--The Committee 
recognizes the need for more communication and guidance 
regarding the Corps' implementation of remote lock and dam 
operations on the inland and intracoastal waterways. The 
Committee encourages the Corps to engage in active and ongoing 
communication with the stakeholders in the navigation industry, 
including the Inland Waterways Users Board, during the conduct 
of regional assessments related to the implementation of remote 
lock and dam operations. The Corps is prohibited from using any 
funds for this effort or related efforts until the Committee is 
provided with the National assessment completed on lock and dam 
remote operations and a stakeholder engagement plan.
    Recreation Partnerships.--The Committee is concerned about 
deteriorating Corps recreational sites and facilities and urges 
the Corps to continue evaluating opportunities for partnerships 
with State and local governments and other entities to enhance 
existing recreational sites and facilities.
    Small, Remote, or Subsistence Harbors.--The Committee 
emphasizes the importance of ensuring that our country's small 
and low-use ports remain functional. The Committee urges the 
Corps to consider expediting scheduled maintenance at small and 
low-use ports that have experienced unexpected levels of 
deterioration since their last dredging. The Committee remains 
concerned that the administration's criteria for navigation 
maintenance disadvantage small, remote, or subsistence harbors 
and waterways from competing for scarce navigation maintenance 
funds. The Committee directs the Corps to revise the criteria 
used for determining which navigation maintenance projects are 
funded and to develop a reasonable and equitable allocation 
under the Operation and Maintenance account. The Committee 
supports including criteria to evaluate the economic impact 
that these projects provide to local and regional economies.
    Further, the Committee is concerned with the Corps' 
adherence to 33 U.S. Code 2242(c) for remote and subsistence 
harbors in budget requests. The Corps is directed to provide a 
report to the Committee, within 60 days of enactment of this 
act, that details projects authorized under the remote and 
subsistence harbor authority for the past 8 years, the 
construction and operation and maintenance funding levels 
requested by the Corps to advance these projects, and an 
accounting of appropriations made to the relevant projects.
    Tribal Land Transfers and Related Maintenance.--The 
Committee understands that the Corps may enter into discussions 
with entities regarding the future transfer of land to such 
entities. The Committee expects the Corps to identify for those 
entities the past operation and maintenance requirements 
associated with lands and sites to be transferred and to seek a 
commitment by the entities receiving land to address those 
requirements.
    Water Operations Technical Support.--The Committee is 
pleased with the results of Forecast Informed Reservoir 
Operations [FIRO] Phases 1 and 2 and eagerly anticipates the 
expansion of the program into regions where different storm 
types, in addition to Atmospheric Rivers, are key to heavy rain 
and flooding (e.g., tropical storms/hurricanes, large 
thunderstorm systems), and where longer forecast lead times may 
be required. The Committee recommends $17,000,000 for the FIRO 
effort, and $1,000,000 for snow informed reservoir operations. 
Additionally, the Committee recommends $4,000,000 for efforts 
to implement wildfire mitigation projects at its facilities to 
protect Federal property and neighboring communities and 
encourages the Corps to consider vegetation control and other 
resiliency measures to protect against the increasing threat of 
wildfires.
    Willamette Valley Basin Hatcheries.--The Committee notes 
that the Corps has an obligation to ensure hatcheries in the 
Upper Willamette Basin are producing salmon, steelhead, and 
game fish as restitution for the loss of natural spawning and 
rearing area with the construction of the 13 dams above the 
Willamette Falls. Failure to maintain those production levels 
is a breach of that obligation.
    Additional Funding for Ongoing Work.--The Committee cannot 
support a level of funding that does not fund operation and 
maintenance 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 being used well beyond their design life results in 
economic inefficiencies and risks infrastructure failure, which 
can cause substantial economic losses. The Committee 
recommendation includes additional funds for projects and 
activities to enhance the ation's economic growth and 
international competitiveness. Of this additional funding 
provided for other authorized project purposes, $40,000,000 is 
recommended for the costs related to international coordination 
of pre-planned or ad-hoc reservoir operations that mitigate the 
risk of flooding in the Columbia River Basin in the United 
States, including compensation to Canada for storage space. Of 
the additional funding provided for other authorized project 
purposes, $6,500,000 is recommended for control manual updates 
at projects located in States where a Reclamation facility is 
also located, in regions where coordinated FIRO projects and 
Water Control Manual Updates are underway, and where 
atmospheric rivers cause flood damages. No funding recommended 
in this bill is intended to expand the Federal dredge fleet.
    The Committee reminds the Corps that section 8132 of WRDA 
2022 supports small and underserved harbors and encourages the 
Corps to implement this new authority. The Committee is aware 
that remote islands with a single source passenger and freight 
ferry service are particularly vulnerable if that service 
cannot be provided due to a lack of dredging and encourages the 
Corps to prioritize projects located in a harbor where island 
communities depend on such services.
    When allocating the additional funding recommended in this 
account, the Corps shall consider giving priority to the 
following:
  --Ability to complete ongoing work maintaining authorized 
        depths and widths of harbors and shipping channels 
        (including small, remote, or subsistence harbors), 
        including where contaminated sediments are present;
  --Ability to address critical maintenance backlog;
  --Presence of the U.S. Coast Guard;
  --Extent to which the work will enhance national, regional, 
        or local economic development;
  --Extent to which the work will promote job growth or 
        international competitiveness;
  --Ability to obligate the funds allocated within the fiscal 
        year;
  --Ability to complete the project, separable element, project 
        phase, or useful increment of work within the funds 
        allocated;
  --Dredging and maintenance projects that would substantially 
        increase beneficial uses of and provide supplementary 
        benefits to tributaries and waterways;
  --Extent to which the work will promote recreation-based 
        benefits, including those created by recreational 
        boating;
  --For harbor maintenance activities:
  --Total tonnage handled;
  --Total exports;
  --Total imports;
  --Dollar value of cargo handled;
  --Energy infrastructure and national security needs served;
  --Designation as strategic seaports;
  --Lack of alternative means of freight movement;
  --Savings over alternative means of freight movement; and
  --Improvements to dredge disposal facilities which will 
        result in long-term savings, including a reduction in 
        regular maintenance costs.

                           REGULATORY PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $221,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     221,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     224,000,000

    The Committee recommends $224,000,000 for the Regulatory 
Program.
    Mitigation Banking.--The Committee recognizes the impact of 
limited resources on the processing of mitigation bank 
applications, but remains concerned about delays across the 
Corps in permitting of mitigation banks and approving 
mitigation bank credit releases. The unique nature of 
mitigation banks requires dedicated staff with the skills to 
facilitate these permits efficiently and expeditiously. While 
the Committee understands the influx of Federal infrastructure 
projects due to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 
[IIJA], it reminds the Corps it was given additional resources 
to address the increased demand.
    Unnecessary impediments in the mitigation bank approval 
process can lead to significant delays and increased costs for 
permittees of critical infrastructure, energy, commercial, and 
industrial development projects due to the lack of available 
mitigation credits. The Committee urges the Corps to meet its 
own regulatory review guidelines by expeditiously reviewing and 
approving new mitigation bank projects in accordance with 33 
CFR 332 and utilizing Corps Regulatory Guidance Letter No. 19-
01 to expedite credit releases when applicable.
    Regulatory Funding Report.--The Committee is concerned 
about a growing backlog in the processing of regulatory permits 
and the lack of adequate staffing to process existing permits. 
The Committee encourages the Corps to appropriately staff 
positions within the districts by hiring staff to process 
permits instead of increasing management. Importantly, IIJA 
provided $160,000,000 for the Regulatory Program. With these 
funds set to expire on September 30, 2026, the Committee 
directs the Corps to generate a report identifying how this 
funding has been utilized to improve the permitting process. 
The report should identify how this additional funding has 
created opportunities for the Corps to invest in innovative 
solutions at the Division and District level to address 
challenges, the appropriate funding level to maintain this 
progress, and bottlenecks in the permitting process. The Corps 
is directed to provide a briefing to the Committee following 
the completion of this report and the report should be 
finalized no later than six months after the date of enactment 
of this act.

            FORMERLY UTILIZED SITES REMEDIAL ACTION PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $300,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     200,285,000
Committee recommendation................................     325,000,000

    The Committee recommends $325,000,000 for the Formerly 
Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program. There are currently 18 
sites with record of decisions that carry an estimated cost of 
$3,000,000,000. Additionally, there are three other sites 
without record of decisions where the rough estimate is 
$500,000,000. When appropriate for large projects, the Corps is 
encouraged to use continuing contracts for more time and cost 
effective cleanup.

                 FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $35,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      45,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      45,000,000

    The Committee recommends $45,000,000 for Flood Control and 
Coastal Emergencies.

                                EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $216,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     231,240,000
Committee recommendation................................     224,000,000

    The Committee recommends $224,000,000 for Expenses. No 
funding is recommended for the creation of an Office of 
Congressional Affairs.
    The Expenses appropriation is an administrative and 
operational account which supports the technical, 
administrative and staff supervision functions assigned to 
Corps Headquarters, the Major Subordinate Commands (MSCs/
division offices); and the costs of those elements within four 
field operating activities providing direct support to those 
functions. The Expenses appropriation pays for two categories 
of requirements-labor and non-labor to support the Corps.
    The funds recommended in this account shall be used to 
support implementation of the Corps' Civil Works program, 
including hiring additional full time equivalents. This 
includes developing and issuing policy guidance; managing Civil 
Works program; and providing national coordination of and 
participation in forums and events within headquarters, the 
division offices, and meeting other enterprise requirements and 
operating expenses.

      OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE ARMY (CIVIL WORKS)

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $5,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................       6,400,000
Committee recommendation................................       5,500,000

    The Committee recommends $5,500,000 for the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works).
    The Committee counts on a timely and accessible executive 
branch in the course of fulfilling its constitutional role in 
the appropriations process. The requesting and receiving of 
basic, factual information is vital to maintaining a 
transparent and open governing process. The Committee 
recognizes that some discussions internal to the executive 
branch are pre-decisional in nature and, therefore, not subject 
to disclosure. However, the access to facts, figures, and 
statistics that inform these decisions are not subject to the 
same sensitivity and are critical to the appropriations 
process. The administration needs to do more to ensure timely 
and complete responses to these inquiries.

          WATER INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE AND INNOVATION PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2024....................................      $7,200,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................       7,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      10,000,000

    The Committee recommends $10,000,000 for the Water 
Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Program.

             GENERAL PROVISIONS--CORPS OF ENGINEERS--CIVIL

    Section 101. The bill includes a provision related to

                       DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT COMPLETION ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $23,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      17,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      23,000,000

    The Committee recommends $23,000,000 for the Central Utah 
Project Completion Account, which includes $4,000,000 for the 
Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Account for use by 
the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission, 
$1,900,000 for necessary expenses of the Secretary of the 
Interior, and up to $2,164,100 for the Commission's 
administrative expenses. This allows the Department of the 
Interior 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. The Committee remains committed to complete the Central 
Utah Project, which would enable the project to initiate 
repayment to the Federal Government.

                         Bureau of Reclamation


                       OVERVIEW OF RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $2,020,000,000 for the Bureau of 
Reclamation [Reclamation]. The Committee recommendation sets 
priorities by supporting our Nation's water 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 338 reservoirs with a total 
storage capacity of 140 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 11 million acres of farmland that produce 
60 percent of the Nation's vegetables and 25 percent of its 
fruits and nuts. Reclamation manages, with partners, 289 
recreation sites that have 90 million visits annually.

                       FISCAL YEAR 2025 WORK PLAN

    The Committee recommends funding above the budget request 
for Water and Related Resources. Reclamation is directed to 
submit a work plan, not later than 60 days after the date of 
enactment of this act, to the Committee proposing its 
allocation of these additional funds. 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 recommended for 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; and
  --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 shall not disqualify a 
        study or project from being funded.

                   CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING

    The Committee included congressionally directed spending, 
as defined in section 5(a) of rule XLIV of the Standing Rules 
of the Senate. The Committee funded only projects and studies 
that are authorized by law. In the interest of providing full 
disclosure of funding recommended in this Title, all projects 
requested and funded are listed in a table accompanying this 
report. All of the projects funded in this report have gone 
through the same rigorous process and approvals as those 
proposed by the President.

                         REPORTING REQUIREMENT

    Reclamation shall provide a quarterly report to the 
Committee, which includes the total budget authority and 
unobligated balances by year for each program, project, or 
activity, including any prior year appropriations.

                      WATER AND RELATED RESOURCES

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $1,751,698,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................   1,443,527,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,864,550,000

    The Committee recommends $1,864,550,000 for Water and 
Related Resources.

                              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.

         RESOURCES................
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Bostwick Division.--Reclamation shall meet with non-Federal 
water contractors in the Bostwick Division, including 
representatives of the Corps, to provide a detailed explanation 
of past operation and maintenance charges incurred at Harlan 
County Dam. At a minimum, the discussion shall include how 
joint use charges are assigned, how dam safety costs are 
determined for extraordinary maintenance projects, and 
prospectively provide operation and maintenance cost estimates, 
including any planned extraordinary maintenance projects. The 
Committee expects these engagements to occur annually. 
Reclamation shall assist in identifying financing repayment 
options of any reimbursable extraordinary maintenance costs, 
such as the Ogee Spillway repairs.
    Colorado River Basin.--Despite improving hydrology, the 
Colorado River basin reservoirs remain low after multiple years 
of drought, which poses a severe risk for Tribes, farmers, 
ranchers, cities, wildlife, and the local economies that rely 
on these water resources. Reclamation is encouraged to provide 
funding in future budget requests for activities that support 
water conservation, improve watershed scale planning, upgrade 
water infrastructure, protect land from erosion, and create 
long-term resiliency on changing landscapes.
    Columbia Basin Project.--The Committee supports 
Reclamation's partnership in the Odessa Groundwater Replacement 
Program to provide farmlands in Central and Eastern Washington 
with surface water supply through operational changes in the 
storage and delivery system and urges Reclamation to move 
forward to implement the program.
    Columbia Basin Project Report.--Reclamation is directed to 
develop a report using existing data and science on the 
continued development of the Columbia Basin Project originally 
authorized in 1945. The report shall examine the costs and 
benefits of advancing the project giving equal consideration to 
the following priorities: (1) local Tribal population, (2) 
salmon habitat including recovery and restoration, (3) 
agricultural production and employment, and (4) food security. 
Reclamation shall provide the report to the Committees on 
Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural 
Resources, and the House Committee on Natural Resources within 
18 months of enactment of this act.
    Deschutes River Conservancy.--The Committee supports the 
ongoing work of the Deschutes River Conservancy in Central 
Oregon. The Committee encourages the Bureau of Reclamation to 
restore funding for this work in future budget requests.
    Dry-Redwater, Montana.--The Committee strongly encourages 
Reclamation to expeditiously complete the Dry-Redwater Regional 
Water Authority feasibility study for the project authorized in 
Public Law 116-260. Completing the feasibility study is 
necessary before a recommended project can be federally 
authorized for construction of the system.
    Endangered Species Act [ESA] Coordination.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of ESA project compliance in a long 
term sustainable manner. Long term sustainability is 
particularly important when additional project features are 
required for the long term health and well-being of the 
endangered species. The Committee encourages Reclamation to 
collaborate with the project partners to create sustainable and 
achievable long terms plans when additional features are 
required for ESA compliance.
    Forecast Informed Reservoir Operations [FIRO] Engagement.--
The Committee directs Reclamation to conduct an economic 
analysis study of water supply and conservation benefits of 
FIRO at Section 7 reservoirs identified as candidates in the 
Corps FIRO Screening Assessment.
    Klamath A Canal.--The Committee is pleased Reclamation has 
begun a study to determine repair alternatives to address 
seepage from the A Canal. As part of the study, Reclamation is 
strongly encouraged to identify ways to provide non-
reimbursable financial support for any potential solutions.
    Klamath Basin Project.--The Committee is pleased that 
Reclamation included additional funds under the Klamath project 
for the Drought Response Agency. The Committee encourages 
Reclamation to continue funding the Drought Response Agency at 
sufficient levels.
    Lower Colorado River.--Reclamation has worked to address 
excess flows of Colorado River water to Mexico, but there still 
remains excess flows beyond the Treaty requirements. Persistent 
drought and projected long-term water demands have heightened 
this concern. To help address future impacts on the Lower 
Colorado River Basin, the Committee directs Reclamation to 
explore methods for further reducing excess flows to Mexico and 
shall report to the Committee by no later than February 2025.
    Rural Water Projects.--The Committee appreciates 
Reclamation's efforts to advance construction of Rural Water 
projects, such as the Garrison Diversion Unit, as the projects 
are critical to the health, safety, and economic development of 
Tribal Nations and rural communities in the West. The Committee 
reminds Reclamation that voluntary funding in excess of legally 
required cost shares for rural water projects is acceptable but 
should not be used by Reclamation as a criterion for allocating 
additional funding recommended by the Committee or for 
budgeting in future years.
    San Joaquin River Restoration.--Permanent appropriations, 
available for the program in fiscal year 2025, shall not 
supplant continued annual appropriations, and the Committee 
encourages Reclamation to include adequate funding in future 
budget submissions.
    St. Mary's Diversion Dam and Conveyance Works.--The 
Committee recognizes Reclamation's completion of the ability-
to-pay study assessing the cost share for rehabilitation work 
done on the St. Mary's Project and notes the study found that 
irrigators are unable to provide a local cost share for work on 
the project. The Committee further appreciates Reclamation's 
work to respond to and repair the critical failure on the St. 
Mary's Diversion and reminds Reclamation these repairs are 
eligible for additional funding in to this project Water 
Conservation and Delivery. If additional funds are provided to 
this project, such funds shall be non-reimbursable.
    WaterSMART Program.--The Committee is concerned about the 
unique water challenges faced by the non-contiguous States and 
territories and notes that Congress recently made Hawaii, 
Alaska, and Puerto Rico, as well as American Samoa, Guam, the 
Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands eligible 
applicant locations for WaterSMART grants. Reclamation is 
encouraged to conduct outreach in all non-contiguous States and 
territories about this and other available funding 
opportunities to address and mitigate water challenges in these 
jurisdictions.
    WaterSMART Program: Cooperative Watershed Management 
Program Outreach.--Reclamation is strongly encouraged to 
conduct additional outreach and prioritize program investments 
in rural, historically underserved, and Tribal communities, as 
these regions typically have less capacity to develop multi-
benefit watershed projects. Reclamation shall take additional 
steps to make the program more accessible, including continuing 
to offer funding opportunities more than once per year and 
streamlining the application process. Reclamation is directed 
to provide the Committee, within 120 days of enactment of this 
act, a briefing and report on program execution and 
recommendations to enhance long term capability and 
effectiveness.
    WaterSMART Program: Multi-Benefit Projects.--The Committee 
supports the continued development of a pipeline of high-
priority, multi-benefit water projects. Reclamation is reminded 
that non-profit conservation organizations are eligible 
applicants without needing to partner with an entity with water 
or power delivery authority for multi-benefit projects to 
improve watershed health and Environmental Water Resources 
Projects to improve the condition of a natural feature or 
nature-based feature on Federal land, so long as notice is 
provided and no objection received. The Committee directs 
Reclamation to provide a briefing, no later than 60 days after 
enactment of this act, on the progress of these efforts, 
including a review of the number of water conservation projects 
funded with a monitoring plan for an increase in streamflows or 
aquatic habitat.
    WIIN Title XVI Cost Share.--The Committee directs 
Reclamation to index the project Federal cost share cap for 
eligible projects as authorized in section 4009(c) of the WIIN 
Act to inflation.
    Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement Project.--The 
Committee strongly supports the Yakima River Basin Integrated 
Water Resource Management Plan. This innovative water 
management plan addresses water storage, water supply, fishery 
and ecosystem restoration needs for agriculture, fish, and 
municipalities within the Yakima River basin in central 
Washington. The Committee encourages Reclamation to budget 
appropriately for this work in order to move forward on 
implementing authorized components of the plan and directs 
Reclamation to accelerate implementation of the Yakima Basin 
Integrated Plan projects within the funding recommended.
    Additional Funding for Water and Related Resources Work.--
The Committee recommendation includes funds in addition to the 
budget request for Water and Related Resources studies, 
projects, and activities. Priority in allocating these funds 
shall be given to advance and complete ongoing work, including 
preconstruction activities, and where environmental compliance 
has been completed; 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. Reclamation 
is encouraged to allocate additional funding for aquifer 
recharging efforts to address the ongoing backlog of related 
projects. Reclamation is reminded that activities authorized 
under Indian Water Rights Settlements are eligible to compete 
for the additional funding under ``Water Conservation and 
Delivery.'' Reclamation shall allocate additional funding 
recommended in this account consistent with the following 
direction:
  --Of the additional funding recommended under the heading 
        ``Water Conservation and Delivery,'' $50,000,000 shall 
        be for implementing the Drought Contingency Plan in the 
        Lower Colorado River Basin to create or conserve 
        recurring Colorado River water that contributes to 
        supplies in Lake Mead and other Colorado River water 
        reservoirs in the Lower Colorado Basin or projects to 
        improve the long-term efficiency of operations in the 
        Lower Colorado River Basin, consistent with the 
        Secretary's obligations under the Colorado River 
        Drought Contingency Plan Authorization Act of 2019 
        (Public Law 116-14) and related agreements. These water 
        conservation activities may include well construction 
        and irrigation-related structural or other measures; 
        programs and projects that result in conservation of 
        surface water or groundwater; or improve water system 
        efficiency, resiliency, reliability, delivery, and 
        conveyance, including canal system improvements. None 
        of these funds shall be used for the operation of the 
        Yuma Desalting Plant and nothing in this section shall 
        be construed as limiting existing or future 
        opportunities to augment the water supplies of the 
        Colorado River.
  --Of the additional funding recommended under the heading 
        ``Water Conservation and Delivery,'' $3,000,000 shall 
        be to develop a decision support system for 
        agricultural producers, water allocation managers, 
        fisheries managers, and recreationalists, in order to 
        implement strategies to sustain and increase 
        effectiveness of water use in the Upper Missouri 
        Watershed. The purpose of the system should be to 
        better manage and deliver water more efficiently to 
        satisfy the competing needs of irrigation, 
        municipalities, power generation, and the environment.
  --Of the additional funding recommended under the heading 
        ``Water Conservation and Delivery,'' $20,000,000 shall 
        be for construction of the WEB Water expansion to the 
        Town of Aberdeen, which is a regional water supply 
        project that is part of the Water Investment in 
        Northern South Dakota [WINS] project, which will 
        provide a reliable water source to rural water 
        providers, communities, strategic economic businesses, 
        and the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate Tribe in northern South 
        Dakota.

                CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT RESTORATION FUND

                          GROSS APPROPRIATION

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $48,508,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      55,656,000
Committee recommendation................................      55,656,000

    The Committee recommends funding for the Central Valley 
Project Restoration Fund, that is fully offset by collections, 
resulting in a net appropriation of $55,656,000.
    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

Committee recommendation................................      33,000,000

    The Committee recommends $33,000,000 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.

                          DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

                       Overview of Recommendation

    The Committee recommendation sets priorities by supporting 
the Office of Science and the Advanced Research Projects 
Agency-Energy [ARPA-E], leading the world in scientific 
computing, addressing the Federal Government's responsibility 
for environmental cleanup and disposal of used nuclear fuel, 
nonproliferation, 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, 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 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 shall 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 the bill or report.
    Prior to obligating any funds for an action defined below 
as a reprogramming, the Secretary shall notify and obtain 
approval of the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress. The Secretary shall submit a detailed reprogramming 
request in accordance with section 301 of the bill, which 
shall, 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 Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress 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.

                   FINANCIAL REPORTING AND MANAGEMENT

    Mortgaging Future-Year Awards.--The Committee remains 
concerned about the Department's practice of making awards 
dependent on funding from future years' appropriations. The 
fiscal year 2024 act directed the Department to provide a 
briefing on how it can better track and provide information 
about the accounting of future-year awards by control point. 
The Committee is still awaiting this briefing and directs the 
Department to provide it immediately.
    Competitive Procedures.--The Department is directed, in 
alignment with section 989 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, to 
use a competitive, merit-based review process in carrying out 
research, development, demonstration, and deployment 
activities, to the maximum extent practicable. Further, the 
Department is directed to notify the Committee at least 30 days 
prior to any non-competitive research, development, 
demonstration, or deployment award.
    The Committee recommends the Department list regional 
councils and councils of governments as eligible entities in 
competitions for Federal funding whenever local governments or 
non-profit agencies are eligible entities for a competitive 
solicitation. Furthermore, the Committee recommends the 
Department actively seek opportunities for regional councils 
and councils of governments to serve as lead applicants and 
grantees in order to encourage and expand greater regional 
collaboration.
    Cost Share Waivers.--Section 988 of the Energy Policy Act 
of 2005 provides authority for the Secretary to waive cost 
share requirements under some circumstances. The Department is 
directed to notify the Committee at least 15 days prior to 
waiving cost share requirements for any research, development, 
demonstration, or deployment award.
    Commonly Recycled Paper.--The Department 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 comingles 
commonly recycled paper with other solid waste at any point 
from the time of collection through materials recovery.
    Future Year Energy Report.--The Department is still not in 
compliance with its statutory requirement to submit to 
Congress, at the time that the budget request is submitted, a 
future-years energy program that covers the fiscal year of the 
budget request and the four succeeding years, as required by 
law in the fiscal year 2012 act. The Department is directed to 
provide this expeditiously and in future budget requests.
    Technical Assistance.--Community assistance provides 
predictability with respect to project development. The 
Committee encourages the Department to make additional efforts 
to ensure viability and success of projects by addressing 
permitting risk, workforce, and capital formation. These 
efforts are allowable as costs under Federal cost share 
principles, and are encouraged to occur in tandem with funding 
negotiations between the Department and the project.

                         WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

    Workforce Development.--The Department is encouraged to 
prioritize training and workforce development programs that 
assist and support workers in trades and activities required 
for the continued growth of the U.S. energy efficiency and 
renewable energy sectors, including training programs focused 
on building retrofit, the construction industry, and the 
electric vehicle industry. The Department is encouraged to 
continue to work with 2-year, community and technical colleges, 
labor, and nongovernmental and industry consortia to pursue job 
training programs, including programs focused on displaced 
fossil fuel workers, that lead to an industry-recognized 
credential in the renewable energy and energy efficiency 
workforce. The Committee recognizes the Department's 
collaborations with the Department of Defense to address 
national security priorities including climate change and 
electric infrastructure. The Committee recognizes the 
Department's individual education and workforce development 
programs relating to the intersection of national security and 
energy but encourages interdepartmental coordination on the 
creation or modification of these programs.
    The Committee identifies the importance of student research 
participant programs in building a strong STEM workforce 
pipeline across DOE disciplines. The Department is directed to 
provide to the Committee not later than 90 days after enactment 
of this act a report on the resources required and 
opportunities to triple the number of student research 
participant placements within its current participant programs 
to support the cross-cutting, Department-wide initiatives, such 
as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, quantum information 
science, and basic and applied research programs. The report 
shall include information on how the Department's current 
programs and research investments can be further leveraged to 
support expanding undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and post-
doc research participant placements to build a strong STEM 
workforce pipeline.

             Department of Energy's Insider Threat Program

    The Department is directed to consult with the Office of 
Science and the Office of Critical and Emerging Technologies in 
the development of Department-wide research security policies 
and protocols.

                        Crosscutting Initiatives

    SBIR/STTR Programs.--The Department is directed to use the 
definition of research and development as provided by the Small 
Business Innovation Development Act of 1982 and Small Business 
Administration's ``SBIR and STTR Program Policy Directive'' for 
the purposes of the Department's SBIR and STTR programs. 
Additionally, the Department is directed to continue formal 
coordination across relevant applied Departmental program 
offices regarding the proper implementation of the SBIR and 
STTR programs and to dedicate more resources to the 
administration of the SBIR and STTR programs. The Department is 
also encouraged to focus on solicitations that would advance 
commercialization and technological innovation aimed at 
decarbonization and emission reductions. Additionally, the 
Department is directed to develop program processes that are 
not burdensome to small businesses at the application stage and 
during grant management. Lastly, the Department is directed to 
develop metrics and processes for tracking private-sector 
commercialization of SBIR and STTR investments and for tracking 
the participation in SBIR and STTR programs, in accordance with 
the Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982. The 
Department shall report to the Committee 30 days after 
enactment of this act how it plans to follow through on this 
direction. Additionally, the Department is directed to 
investigate the feasibility of administering all or part of the 
SBIR and STTR programs through the Office of Technology 
Transitions and to report its findings to the Committee not 
later than 180 days after enactment of this act.
    The Committee believes that to maintain national energy 
competitiveness and leadership, the full extent of innovation 
from small, innovative enterprises should be prominently 
integrated into the DOE's efforts. The Committee is pleased 
that on February 27, 2024, the Department of Energy published 
``Phase III Awards: Statutory & Policy Provision,'' to clarify 
Department of Energy's [SBIR] and [STTR] programs policies on 
treating SBIR Phase III Provisions. The Committee encourages 
the Secretary to carry out an education and training program 
across the Department to educate contracting officials to 
ensure that the use of SBIR Phase III is well understood 
throughout the DOE enterprise.
    Grid Modernization.--The Committee recognizes the value of 
a diverse range of clean distributed energy resources. The 
Committee directs the Department to evaluate opportunities, in 
coordination with the Office of Clean Energy Demonstration, to 
deploy multi-resource microgrids that incorporate dispatchable, 
fuel-flexible, renewable-fuel-compatible, distributed 
generation technologies, including but not limited to linear 
generator technology, paired with variable output renewable 
resources and battery storage technology, in order to 
simultaneously achieve substantial carbon and criteria 
emissions reductions, ensure multi-day resilience, and improve 
energy security and independence. Further, the Department is 
directed to work with appropriate stakeholders, including, 
utilities, grid modelers and planners, and transmission owners 
to identify and develop methods and models that (1) use 
artificial intelligence [AI] to improve real-time operations 
such as resource and load forecasting, line switching, and 
demand response to optimize reliability and efficiency of 
energy delivery based on near-real-time weather forecasts and 
available grid and load data, and (2) use AI to reduce 
interconnection queues by improving interconnection reliability 
assessment and planning models and tools that will expedite 
required interconnection studies (for example, to evaluate more 
scenarios faster and more accurately) and increase reliability 
through more rigorous modeling, such as inclusion of 
electromagnetic transient simulations to identify potential 
disruptions or reliability concerns, when new generators are 
proposed.
    Carbon Dioxide Removal.--The recommendation includes not 
less than $144,000,000 for research, development, and 
demonstration of carbon dioxide removal technologies, including 
not less than $12,000,000 from the Office of Energy Efficiency 
and Renewable Energy [EERE], not less than $80,000,000 from 
Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management [FECM], and not 
less than $52,000,000 from the Office of Science.
    Within available funding, the Department is directed to 
support research, development, and demonstration of diverse 
carbon dioxide removal technologies and approaches, to be 
appropriately coordinated between FECM, the Office of Science, 
EERE, and any other relevant program offices or agencies. The 
Committee supports funding going to the Carbon Dioxide Removal 
Research, Development, and Demonstration Program authorized in 
section 5001, division Z of Public Law 116-260. Further 
Committee direction on the carbon purchasing program is 
provided within FECM.
    Equity and Justice.--The Committee notes the Department's 
continuing efforts and progress in implementing the Justice40 
Initiative, the energy justice initiative, and Executive Order 
14008.
    Critical Minerals.--The Committee supports the Department's 
coordination of critical minerals activities across the 
Department through the Critical Materials Collaboration. The 
Committee encourages the Department to work with other relevant 
Federal departments and agencies to increase domestic critical 
mining, production, processing, recycling, and manufacturing in 
order to secure supply chains for new energy development.
    The recommendation includes not less than $249,000,000 for 
research, development, demonstration, and commercialization 
activities on the development of alternatives to, recycling of, 
and efficient production and use of critical minerals, 
including not less than $168,000,000 from EERE, not less than 
$56,000,000 from FECM, and not less than $25,000,000 from the 
Office of Science. The Department is encouraged to carry out 
these activities pursuant to sections 7001 and 7002 of the 
Energy Act of 2020.
    The Committee believes we must reduce U.S. dependence on 
foreign sources of critical minerals due to environmental, 
economic, human rights, and national security concerns 
associated with sourcing critical minerals from China. To do 
so, we must invest in innovative systems and methods to improve 
the sustainability of certain critical minerals, enhance the 
reliability of critical mineral supply chains for U.S. battery 
producers and users, and minimize the landfill waste at the end 
of the useful live of these batteries. Circularity initiatives 
strengthen domestic manufacturing and support U.S. workers by 
identifying innovative technology solutions to recycle and 
reuse existing battery resources for second-life opportunities. 
The Committee directs Advanced Research Projects Agency--
Energy, the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies 
Office, and the Vehicle Technologies Office to, where 
appropriate, prioritize funding efforts to research, develop, 
prototype, and deploy technology to improve the circularity of 
battery supply chains and battery recycling in such a way to 
address critical mineral sustainability and reliability 
concerns.
    Industrial Decarbonization.--The recommendation includes 
not less than $884,000,000 for industrial decarbonization, 
including not less than $511,000,000 from EERE, not less than 
$255,000,000 from FECM, not less than $48,000,000 from Nuclear 
Energy [NE], and not less than $70,000,000 from the Office of 
Science.
    Within available funds, the Committee directs the 
Department to establish the Low-Emissions Steel Manufacturing 
Research Program in accordance with subtitle D of title IV of 
the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (42 U.S.C. 
17111a).
    The Committee believes that innovative energy sources are 
necessary for manufacturers to transition from traditional 
carbon-emitting fuels to fuels with significantly lower 
greenhouse gases on a net basis. In support of that transition, 
more data is necessary for the long-term sustainability of 
combusting non-traditional fuels. The Department of Energy's 
Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap emphasizes that greater 
research, design, and deployment into alternative fuels usage 
is necessary to reduce carbon emissions in the industrial 
sector. The Committee encourages the Department to partner with 
an institution of higher learning to conduct research on 
greenhouse gas and other air emissions from the combustion and 
energy recovery of non-traditional fuels, such as biomass, 
wood, pulp and paper, agricultural waste, plastics, and 
municipal waste in cement manufacturing. The Committee expects 
the program to compare and analyze the calorific/heating value; 
greenhouse gas & other pollutants over any possible lifecycles 
of the fuel; fuel collection, processing and supply, and the 
regulatory barriers to utilizing potential fuels over 
traditional ones. The Committee also directs the Department to 
conduct this research in consultation with other agencies, as 
necessary. The Committee directs the Department to report its 
progress of data collection to Committee within a year of 
enactment of this act.
    Grid Modernization and Artificial Intelligence.--The 
Committee includes up to $20,000,000 to the Grid Deployment 
Office and Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to 
work with appropriate stakeholders, including, utilities, grid 
modelers and planners, and transmission owners to identify and 
develop methods and models that (1) use artificial intelligence 
(AI) to improve real-time operations such as resource and load 
forecasting, line switching, and demand response to optimize 
reliability and efficiency of energy delivery based on near-
real-time weather forecasts and available grid and load data, 
and (2) use AI to reduce interconnection queues by improving 
interconnection reliability assessment and planning models and 
tools that will expedite required interconnection studies (for 
example, to evaluate more scenarios faster and more accurately) 
and increase reliability through more rigorous modeling, such 
as inclusion of electromagnetic transient simulations to 
identify potential disruptions or reliability concerns, when 
new generators are proposed.
    Energy Storage.--The Committee supports the Department's 
Energy Storage Grand Challenge [ESGC] and Long-Duration Storage 
Shot initiatives, which includes cost-shared demonstrations of 
energy storage technologies. The ESGC builds on the 
Department's prior research and development efforts in storage 
and will align Energy Storage research and development efforts 
to focus on technical, regulatory, and market issues necessary 
to achieve the technology goals. The Department is directed to 
continue to provide the Committee updates on the ESGC and make 
publically available a crosscutting research and development 
road-map through 2030 to illustrate the ESGC's goals. This 
road-map shall be focused on reducing costs and improving the 
performance of a diverse set of grid-scale storage technologies 
to meet industry needs, improve reliability and environmental 
performance of the electricity grid, and reduce greenhouse gas 
emissions. The Department is directed to carry out these 
activities in accordance with sections 3201 and 3202 of the 
Energy Act of 2020.
    The Committee is aware of the Department's efforts to 
expand the capabilities of the United States in advanced 
battery manufacturing, including for long-duration grid-scale 
energy storage and electric vehicles. As the Department 
continues its efforts to scale up a domestic advanced battery 
supply chain, including battery manufacturing demonstration 
projects, the Committee encourages the Department to seek a 
broad spectrum of battery chemistries not wholly exclusive to 
lithium-ion based battery technology.
    The recommendation includes not less than $620,000,000 for 
energy storage, including not less than $383,000,000 from EERE, 
not less than $94,000,000 from the Office of Electricity [OE], 
not less than $3,000,000 from FECM, not less than $16,000,000 
from NE, and not less than $124,000,000 from the Office of 
Science.
    Alternative Modes of Transportation.--The Committee notes 
the Department's ongoing efforts to develop technologies and 
low carbon fuels that will reduce emission in shipping, 
aviation, agricultural, and long distance transportation.
    Hastening the availability of low- and no-carbon 
alternatives to diesel fuel for locomotives will be essential 
to achieving a net-zero emissions economy while also meeting 
our Nation's projected 50 percent growth in freight 
transportation demand by 2050. As part of the U.S. National 
Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization, the Department 
States, ``Freight rail research should be prioritized to 
determine the most promising paths to decarbonization, 
including a focus on sustainable fuels and the design and 
manufacture of new locomotive propulsion and fueling systems.'' 
The Committee notes there are ongoing efforts to further the 
use of technologies that will reduce emissions in existing 
locomotive fleets, such as different blends of renewable diesel 
and biodiesel, as well as to accelerate the commercial 
viability of alternative propulsion methods, including 
batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. The Committee directs the 
Department to regularly consult with railroads and rail 
manufacturers and suppliers to determine which research 
projects will best advance the commercial viability of these 
respective technologies and help to identify the pathway to 
decarbonization for the industry.
    Further, the Committee encourages the Department to 
accelerate its work on sustainable aviation fuels, with a focus 
on getting feedstocks and biorefining processes for net-zero 
emission fuels into demonstration as it works to meet the goals 
of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenge. The Committee 
encourages the Department to develop a clear framework for 
evaluating the emissions reduction potential of different 
sustainable aviation fuel pathways and to prioritize research 
and development of fuels with the greatest potential to reduce 
GHG emissions while avoiding unintended consequences on forests 
and food supply chains. The Department is encouraged to work 
with other Federal agencies and the National labs to coordinate 
efforts to advance sustainable aviation fuels and work in 
coordination with aviation manufacturers. Additionally, the 
Committee directs the Department to factor growth in 
sustainable aviation fuel research, development, demonstration, 
and deployment into future year budget requests.
    Hydrogen.--The Committee supports the Department's 
continued coordination on hydrogen energy and fuel cell 
technologies in order to maximize the effectiveness of 
investments in hydrogen-related activities. This coordination 
shall include EERE, FECM, NE, OE, the Office of Science, and 
the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy.
    The Department is directed to report to Congress on how 
each of the hydrogen programs funded across the Department's 
program offices align with and meet the Department's stated 
targets for a domestic clean hydrogen industry. This report 
shall identify the various tracks being pursued within each 
program and roadmap how each track individually and 
collectively supports the National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and 
Roadmap.
    The recommendation includes not less than $378,000,000 for 
the Hydrogen crosscut, including not less than $215,000,000 
from EERE, not less than $109,000,000 from FECM, not less than 
$8,500,000 from NE, and not less than $45,000,000 from the 
Office of Science.
    The recommendation includes up to $65,000,000 for 
technologies to advance hydrogen use for heavy-duty 
transportation, industrial, and hard-to-electrify 
transportation applications including trains, maritime 
shipping, and aviation, and industrial applications.
    The Committee instructs the Department to again support 
updates to Argonne National Laboratory's Greenhouse gases, 
Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies [GREET] 
model, including updating GREET model defaults to match the 
best available science and data for consistency in modelling 
life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions; which means including 
innovative ways to produce hydrogen, such as geologic hydrogen 
and through the use of coal bed/coal mine methane, as well as 
other advanced pathways leveraging diverse domestic resources.
    Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program.--The Committee 
appreciates the Department's efforts, led by EERE, of the Lab-
Embedded Entrepreneurship Program [LEEP] to recruit the best 
and brightest minds from across the energy and science sectors 
through a 2-year funded fellowship that provides the support 
needed to develop and transition their ideas into the market. 
The Department is directed to provide to the Committee not 
later than 180 days after enactment of this act a report that 
details how the Department's program offices, including but not 
limited to OE, CESER, NE, FECM, and the Office of Science, may

Transportation to brief the Committee on how voluntary 
technical assistance and grants are used to reduce the time and 
costs associated with permitting, inspecting, energizing, and 
interconnecting publicly available electric vehicle supply 
equipment. The Department is encouraged through the Joint 
Office to increase deployment and accessibility of electric 
vehicle charging infrastructure in underserved or disadvantaged 
communities through grants, technical assistance, and community 
engagement and to address ``soft costs'' of installing EV 
charging infrastructure, such as permitting, interconnection 
and energization challenges, to accelerate deployment.
    Renewable Natural Gas [RNG] and hydrogen can be low-to- 
negative carbon fuels which can be sourced from a variety of 
renewable feedstocks, but deployment has been limited to RNG 
production from manure, organic wastes and biogas from 
landfills, and from hydrogen from fossil fuels or 
electrolyzers. To dramatically expand RNG and renewable 
hydrogen production to assist in meeting climate goals, 
gasification of wood wastes and other carbonaceous materials 
will need to be realized. To assist in technology solutions, 
particularly around syngas clean-up and lower carbon 
intensities for RNG and hydrogen produced, the Hydrogen and 
Fuel Cell Technologies Office in coordination with the 
Bioenergy Technologies Office, the Committee recommends

operations as well as maximizing the recovery of existing 
hydrocarbon reservoirs. To improve the environmental 
sustainability of subsurface energy production, the Committee 
encourages the Department to advance technologies related to 
increased efficiency and energy recovery from field operations.

                     CARBON MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGIES

    CCUS is a process that captures carbon dioxide emissions 
from sources and either reuses or stores it so it will not 
enter the atmosphere. The potential for these technologies is 
considerable, and the use of these technologies will decrease 
the costs for mitigating climate change in addition to 
deploying clean energy and energy efficient technologies. The 
Committee recognizes the benefits of developing carbon capture 
technologies across multiple sources, including for carbon 
dioxide removal technologies, and directs the Secretary to 
invest in a research and development portfolio of carbon 
capture technologies that will lower the cost of carbon 
capture, utilization, and storage [CCUS] through continued 
large-scale demonstration and pilot programs.
    The Committee is concerned about the cost of carbon 
capture, storage, and utilization projects and directs the 
Department to prioritize CCUS funding for projects and research 
that looks to reduce the cost of these technologies for 
commercial deployment.
    The Committee has, for the last two fiscal years, directed 
the Department to support pilot and demonstration activities 
for chemical looping hydrogen production and carbon capture. To 
date, no funding opportunities from the Department have been 
focused on a chemical looping pilot or demonstration activity. 
The Committee was pleased to see the Department issue a Notice 
of Intent to Issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement [FOA] 
(FOA No. DOE-FOA-0002614) on August 18, 2023, with an area of 
interest targeting the decarbonization of industrial processes 
using chemical looping approaches. The FOA, however, is 
expected to focus on the performance of conceptual design 
studies and laboratory validation, specifically excluding any 
pilot or demonstrations activities, contrary to our past 
directives. The Committee notes that the Department has for 
many years supported early-stage research and development of 
chemical looping, which has led to successful small-scale 
demonstrations of the technology. The Committee believes that 
the technology has been sufficiently validated as a viable 
commercial technology for hydrogen production, and therefore 
strongly reiterates its direction to the Department that it 
shall support a commercial demonstration chemical looping 
project using natural gas, coal, or biomass to validate the 
technical, operational, and economic advantages of chemical 
looping for clean hydrogen production and carbon capture in 
fiscal year 2025.
    Additional direction related to Department-wide

the technology development within the Department's research and 
development portfolio.
    Carbon Dioxide Removal.--The Committee provides $15,000,000 
for research, development, and demonstration related to 
biological carbon sequestration in deep ocean water through 
macroalgae and other living marine resources.
    In fiscal year 2024, the Committee directed the Department 
to provide a report to the Committee on whether the Direct Air 
Capture Hubs, as authorized under 42 U.S. Code 16298d, should 
be broadened to include other forms of carbon removal. The 
Committee is still awaiting this report and directs the 
Department to provide this information to the Committee 
immediately.
    The Committee directs the Department of Energy to include 
carbon removal projects consistent with the objectives 
established in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 Section 969D 
(j)(2)(B), including those that ``demonstrate the capture, 
processing, delivery, and sequestration or end-use of captured 
carbon'' by absorbing carbon directly from the atmosphere or 
upper hydrosphere. Consistent with prior Committee direction, 
the Department of Energy shall include in scope carbon removal 
projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere or upper 
hydrosphere for the competitive purchasing pilot program.
    The Committee provides not less than $40,000,000 to support 
the continuation of the carbon dioxide removal pilot prize that 
the Secretary was directed to establish in the fiscal year 2023

support the CarbonSafe Initiative. The Committee recognizes the 
successful work of the Regional Carbon Sequestration 
Partnerships and the important role they play in supporting the 
regional development of carbon capture, utilization, 
transportation, and storage. The Committee supports an expanded 
focus on infrastructure development strategies through 
continued regional geological basin characterization to reduce 
uncertainties, collect data, and facilitate and inform regional 
permitting and policy challenges. The Department is again 
directed to fulfill prior commitments to the Regional Carbon 
Sequestration Partnerships. The Committee provides not less 
than $30,000,000 in support of a multiyear solicitation to 
competitively select multiple regional partnerships. The 
competitive solicitation shall encourage extensive engagement 
with CCUS stakeholders, including those that emit, transport, 
utilize, and store carbon dioxide, as well as state, Tribal and 
local governments, and communities. Within available funds, up 
to $26,000,000 should be provided for advanced storage R&D 
activities, including risk integration tools and storage 
integrity and assurance. Also within available funds, the 
Department is directed to begin characterization of offshore 
storage sites as well as investigate injection of 
CO2 in existing offshore oil and gas wells to affirm 
the integrity of the use of those wells and coordinate with the 
Department of the Interior to identify appropriate tools for 
conducting offshore CO2 storage.
    The Committee supports the use of resources provided by 
Public Law 117-58 for carbon storage validation and testing for 
the Department of Energy to support the processing of Class VI 
permits for Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide by the 
Environmental Protection Agency and by States with primary

detection technologies to isolate the source of emissions at 
the individual facility level and to explore technologies, 
including in coordination with public-private partnerships, 
that promote innovative approaches, such as detection 
technologies in support of reducing methane gas emissions. The 
recommendation includes up to $5,000,000 for advanced 
observational technologies, as validated in peer-reviewed 
publications, to globally identify and mitigate methane and 
volatile organic compound emissions from existing operations 
assisting worldwide partners and governments deploy targeted 
reduction measures. Further, the Department is directed to 
brief the Committee within 180 days of enactment of this act on 
the progress for this work.
    The Committee recognizes that the several million orphaned 
(unplugged and abandoned) wells in the United States are a 
significant source of fugitive methane emissions. A rapid, 
cost-effective method is needed for suppressing these emissions 
before the wells can be properly plugged and abandoned. In 
fiscal year 2024, the Committee recommended an additional 
$6,000,000 to provide for university-led research and 
development of biofilm based reactive barrier technologies that 
can significantly reduce atmospheric methane emissions from 
orphaned wells. The Committee encourages the Department to move 
forward on that funding and update the Committee accordingly.
    The Committee recognizes the advancements of United States 
manufacturers of Vapor Recovery Units and Devices [VRUs] in 
their development of specialized computing systems and data 
streams in the management of emissions. The Committee supports 
ongoing efforts by private industry in technologies, 
advancements, and concepts to capture and utilize fugitive 
volatile organic compounds and methane gas at the wellhead or 
individual facility level. The Department is instructed to 
collaborate with external shareholders in making use of 
commercially available VRUs to capture methane emissions 
utilizing the latest technologies to isolate the source of 
emissions at the wellhead or individual facility level and to 
explore improved technologies, including in coordination with 
public-private partnerships, that promote innovative approaches 
that also include detection and monitoring technologies in 
support of identifying and reducing methane gas emissions. The 
Committee directs the Department to support these efforts, 
including research, assessment, and deployment to support 
activities that easily demonstrate VRUs to be implementable, 
maintainable, and a safe integrated methane reduction solution.
    The Department is encouraged to collaborate with external 
stakeholders in making use of commercially available technology 
solutions to monitor methane emissions and isolate sources of 
emissions at the individual facility level or finer scales; and 
to explore, advance, and scale-up new and innovative methane 
emission detection and quantification solutions that further 
support reduction of methane emissions, including coordination 
with public-private partnerships. The Committee is encouraged 
by what the Department is doing through Advanced Scientific 
Computing Research [ASCR] at the Office of Science to better 
understand machine learning and uncertainty quantification for 
complex systems, and directs the Department to provide up to 
$10,000,000 to set up a similar program in the Office of Fossil 
Energy and Carbon Management to further evaluate advanced data 
collection, storage, and integration. Additionally, this 
program can direct the development of new data science, 
statistical modeling, and uncertainty quantification approaches 
to improve the interpretation and understanding of methane 
emissions data.

critical research to convert abundant, low-cost natural gas, 
natural gas liquids, and other gas streams to low-carbon, 
sustainable products, including chemicals and fuels, such as 
hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol while reducing or eliminating 
air emissions. Comprehensive planning approaches for 
transitioning segments of the economy (e.g., the power sector) 
using hydrogen and other low-carbon fuels (e.g., ammonia) 
should be part of the program, including analysis of the 
infrastructure required to store and transport these fuels and 
the conversion of today's fossil fuel end users, energy-
intensive industries, and disadvantaged communities alike, to 
safely and effectively adopt these fuels. This may include 
feasibility assessments on using existing infrastructure such 
as pipelines and underground storage facilities for low-carbon 
fuels. The Committee is encouraged by the collaborative efforts 
with industry under the Geothermal Energy Oil and Gas 
Demonstrated Engineering Program, and recommends up to 
$20,000,000 for the Department to launch a similar industry-led 
effort in regard underground hydrogen storage.
    The Committee encourages the Department to continue

anticipated future-year requirements for NWF oversight 
activities.

             Technology Coordination and Commercialization

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $20,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      27,098,000
Committee recommendation................................      34,500,000

    The Committee recommends $34,500,000 for Technology 
Coordination and Commercialization.
    Technology Transitions.--The Committee recommends 
$23,000,000 for Technology Transitions. Within Technology 
Transitions, the Committee recommends not less than $4,000,000 
to support the Energy Program for Innovation Clusters Program.
    Foundation for Energy Security and Innovation.--The 
Committee recommends $3,000,000 for the non-governmental 
Foundation for Energy Security.
    Crosscutting Technology Coordination.--The Committee 
continues to emphasize the importance of crosscutting 
initiatives that enable the Department to accelerate progress 
on specific goals through fully integrated science and applied 
energy research, development, demonstration, and deployment. 
These crosscutting initiatives require active coordination 
throughout the Department to ensure that the roles, 
responsibilities, programs, and funding are aligned across the 
various program offices to achieve desired outcomes. This 
coordination ensures that the Department leverages funding 
sources across programs and avoids unnecessary duplication of 
efforts, resulting in the best stewardship of taxpayer funds. 
This coordination also helps align the considerable 
capabilities of the Department's stakeholders, including 
national laboratories, universities, industry, and other 
partners. However, the Committee remains concerned with the 
proliferation of coordination mechanisms--such as crosscuts, 
Energy Earthshots, Joint Strategy Teams, Science and Energy 
Technology Teams, and Coordination Teams--that may actually 
result in confusion and redundancy instead of increased 
coordination. The Department, through the Secretary and Deputy 
Secretary, led by the Office of Policy and coordinated through 
the Joint Strategy Teams to include all relevant program 
offices, is directed to align, simplify, and consolidate these 
coordination mechanisms into a new coordination structure that 
includes clear leadership, articulates the roles and 
responsibilities of each participating program office, and 
directly informs budget formulation and execution across 
program offices. The coordination activities shall include 
staff support; coordination on strategy development, including 
Department-wide Muti-Year Program Plans [MYPPs] and national 
blueprints; and stakeholder, interagency, and interagency 
engagement. The Department is reminded that it needs to provide 
the Committee quarterly updates on how these coordination 
mechanisms are being streamlined, organized, and functioning. 
Further, the Department is directed to include in future budget 
requests funding breakdowns by account and subprogram for each 
of the crosscutting initiatives.
    Further, this structure is directed to continue 
coordinating and lead the clean industrial research, 
development, demonstrations, and deployment across the 
Department focusing on work that is both sector-specific and 
technology-inclusive for energy-intensive industries. The 
Department is reminded that it owes the Committee a DOE-wide 
Multi-Year Program Plan [MYPP] as an operational guide to 
implementing the Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap and ensure 
coordination across all participating offices. The MYPP shall 
be updated annually to reflect changes in the availability of 
funds, technology development, and reprioritization. The DOE-
wide MYPP will incorporate any plans or strategies as directed 
in previous congressional language.
    Critical and Emerging Technologies.--The Committee 
recommends $5,000,000 for Critical and Emerging Technologies 
Office. Executive Order 14110 on the Safe, Secure, and 
Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence 
requires that the Department establish an office to coordinate 
development of AI and other critical and emerging technologies 
across Department of Energy [DOE] programs and its 17 national 
laboratories. The Committee supports this coordinating entity 
and directs the Department to engage with intergovernmental 
partners to ensure proper implementation of this office from 
this Executive order.
    The Department is directed within 120 days after enactment 
of this act to provide an AI/ML 10-year roadmap for achieving 
durable frontier AI/ML capabilities for the Department's AI 
missions for defense and non-defense. The plan shall represent 
the larger DOE AI initiative and will describe efforts for 
establishing interconnected infrastructure capabilities around 
data, computing, and software across the Department. The plan 
will also outline how the Critical Emerging Technologies Office 
will coordinate with relevant intergovernmental partners to 
support this long-term mission.
    Further, the Committee recognizes that the Department of 
Energy, with its stewardship of 17 national laboratories, has 
the existing collective infrastructure and resources in 
advanced computing, data, and scientific workforce to help lead 
Federal research and development of artificial intelligence. 
The Committee supports the Department of Energy expanding its 
efforts in AI consistent with the AI for Energy Report 2024 
Report and the AI for Science, Energy, and Security Report 
released by the national laboratories in 2023 and requests that 
within 90 days after enactment of this act, the Department 
report to Congress details for the implementation of the 
Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence for Science, Security, and 
Technology [FASST] initiative. The Department is directed to 
coordinate and work its interagency partners including the 
National Science Foundation and the Office of Science and 
Technology Policy to further the goals of the National 
Artificial Intelligence Research Resource [NAIRR] pilot and 
shared equities from Executive Order 14110.
    The Committee supports the memorandum of understanding 
[MOU] between the Department and the National Institutes of 
Health [NIH] focused on using advanced computing, quantum, and 
AI/ML for biomedical research and data sourcing.

                      Clean Energy Demonstrations

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $50,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     180,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     125,000,000

    The Committee recommends $125,000,000 for the Office of 
Clean Energy Demonstrations [OCED]. Within available funds, the 
Committee recommends $80,000,000 for program direction.
    OCED was established to accelerate the maturation of near- 
and mid-term clean energy technologies and systems with the 
goal of quicker commercial adoption and increased availability. 
The Committee directs the Department to continue to provide the 
quarterly briefings on OCED efforts. Further, it is expected 
that the Department avoid the practice of making awards 
dependent on funding from future years. Further, the Department 
is encouraged to pursue an OCED program with diverse and 
flexible resources, open solicitations, rapid selection 
processes, and dedicated program managers that can provide 
comprehensive support, including technical guidance and 
business strategy assistance. The Department shall provide to 
the Committee not later than 180 days after enactment of this 
act a report on how it plans to follow through on this 
direction.
    The Department is directed to conduct OCED activities on a 
competitive basis and include cost-share requirements pursuant 
to section 988 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The Committee 
encourages the OCED to prioritize technology demonstrations in 
high-emitting and historically difficult-to-abate U.S. energy 
sectors.
    As provided in the DOE detail table, the Committee notes 
the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program funding has moved 
from Nuclear Energy to Clean Energy Demonstrations. OCED shall 
continue oversight of both the advanced reactor demonstration 
program and the small modular reactor demonstration funding.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends that OCED 
develop a hydrogen transportation demonstration program. This 
program shall prioritize the demonstration of H2 ICE 
demonstration vehicles and/or H2 ICE powered equipment, with 
the objective of demonstrating the viability and efficacy of H2 
ICE technology as a drop-in replacement for diesel with 
equivalent efficiency, performance, productivity, and reduction 
in vehicle level GHG emissions.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends the 
Department focus on opportunities to reduce Nitrous oxide [N2O] 
emissions from industrial chemical processing and fertilizer 
production.
    The Department is encouraged to continue its support for 
technologies capable of generating clean firm power, available 
to meet demand at all times. The Department is also encouraged 
to fully leverage the capabilities of the national laboratories 
for technical assistance, validation, and other tools to de-
risk demonstration projects.
    The Committee recognizes there is a clear, continued need 
for high-impact, timely, large-scale energy demonstration 
programs to accelerate commercial liftoff, ensure domestic 
competitiveness, and enable a rapid, effective, and equitable 
energy transition. OCED is directed to begin developing a 
program that evaluates concepts for potential demonstration 
program opportunities within the next 15 years as identified by 
industry, investors, outside experts, and other relevant 
Department offices. The Committee recommends OCED prioritize 
next-generation geothermal power production technologies in its 
demonstration portfolio, including enhanced geothermal systems, 
deep closed-loop geothermal systems, geothermal systems which 
harness heat from temperatures at which water becomes 
supercritical, and other innovative geothermal power 
technologies that are not yet commercial but have the potential 
to greatly expand the scale and geographical range of 
geothermal power production. The Office is also recommended to 
prioritize projects using enhanced geothermal systems or deep 
closed-loop geothermal systems for industrial-sector 
applications and large-scale heating and cooling applications.

                Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $460,000,000

Committee recommendation................................    -115,000,000

    The Committee recommends $55,000,000 in administrative 
expenses for the Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program.
    The Committee again directs the Department to provide 
recommendations on how it could provide a loan-guarantee for an 
eligible project under 15 U.S.C. 720(n)(f) with existing 
appropriated dollars, any authorities the Secretary or LPO may 
utilize to carry out this statute, and the anticipated cost of 
a loan-guarantee in accordance to 15 U.S.C. 720(n)(f). Further, 
the Department shall include an estimate of the funding that 
would be necessary to start up a program that could provide a 
loan guarantee in accordance to 15 U.S.C. 720(n)(f), including 
a full credit subsidy analysis. The Committee encourages the 
Department to work with entities interested in a loan guarantee 
in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 720(n)(f) within the existing 
resources LPO has in order to get a better estimate of the 
resources that would be needed for a future loan guarantee.

        Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program

Committee recommendation................................       6,300,000

    The Committee recommends $6,300,000 for the Tribal Energy 
Loan Guarantee Program.
    The Committee recommends up to $500,000 per loan 
application for a total funding request of $6,300,000, to carry 
out financial, technical assessments, legal expenses, and 
related activities in connection with applications for loans to 
support eligible projects including renewable energy and 
transmission on or near Tribal lands, or for eligible projects 
outside of Tribal lands, provided that such expenditures by the 
Department in connection with a loan do not constitute 
prohibited Federal support under 50141(d)(2).

              Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $70,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................      95,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      70,000,000

    The Committee recommends $70,000,000 for the Office of 
Indian Energy Policy and Programs.
    The Committee encourages the Department to use its cost 
share waiver authority under section 2602 of the Energy Policy 
Act of 1992, as modified by section 8013 of the Energy Act of 
2020, when appropriate.
    Within available funds, the Committee recommends up to 
$8,000,000 for coordinated research, development, deployment, 
and training related to advanced microgrid-enabling 
technologies, with a focus on underserved and Indigenous 
communities in remote and islanded areas. The Committee 
encourages the Department to partner with organizations with 
specialized experience addressing local energy challenges, 
including community-based organizations and institutions of 
higher education, with a priority for minority-serving 
institutions.
    Congress recognizes that capacity within Indian Tribes to 
pursue energy projects, programs, strategies, and activities is 
a major barrier to energy development on and near Indian Land. 
Within available funding, the Department is encouraged to 
reserve non-competitive formula funding as authorized by 25 
U.S.C. 3502(b)(5)(A) for capacity building to advance tribal-
led energy initiatives. The Committee recommends the Director 
prioritize Tribes while leveraging Regional InterTribal 
Organizations, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and other 
entities as appropriate, to support capacity development, and 
as necessary, develop multiple formulae to support the 
development of a robust energy ecosystem within Indian Country. 
Notwithstanding actual or potential conflicts of interest or 
competitive advantage, recipients of capacity building funds 
provided under non-competitive formula awards or other 
financial assistance opportunities, may use those funds to 
build capacity to pursue energy development opportunities, 
including but not limited to, acquiring staff for the purpose 
of applying for and reporting on Federal funding, including 
U.S. Department of Energy funding opportunities.
    Further, the Department is encouraged to expand the scope 
and use of Technical Assistance funding to support clean energy 
development for American Indian and Native Alaskan communities. 
Recognizing that smaller and poorer communities often do not 
have the ability to take advantage of the economic development 
opportunities presented by clean energy development, the 
Department is encouraged to expand its Technical Assistance 
capacity building programs to include all appropriate offices 
and entities within the Department to support tribes and Tribal 
organizations, including Alaskan Native Corporations, and 
managerial capacity for Tribal energy projects. The Department 
should also support and prioritize national laboratory 
technical assistance to enable the development of Tribal energy 
regulations.
    The Committee notes support for the Office of Indian 
Energy's efforts to utilize local Subject Matter Experts to 
assist Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages in development 
of energy projects and providing support for energy planning.

    The Committee recommends $391,000,000 in funding for 
Departmental Administration. This funding is offset by 
$100,578,000 in revenue for a net appropriation of 
$290,422,000.
    International Affairs.--Within available funds, the 
Committee recommends $2,000,000 for the Israel Binational 
Industrial Research and Development [BIRD] Foundation and 
$4,000,000 to continue the U.S. Israel Center of Excellence in 
Energy, Engineering, and Water Technology.
    U.S. Energy Employment Report.--The Committee directs the 
Department to continue the annual U.S. energy employment report 
that includes a comprehensive statistical survey to collect 
data, publish the data, and provide a summary report. The 
information collected shall include data relating to employment 
figures and demographics in the U.S. energy sector using 
methodology approved by the Office of Management and Budget in 
2016.
    Within funding for the Arctic Energy Office, the Committee 
provides $1,000,000 to support external engagements including 
data sharing, technical assistance, research, development, and 
deployment of electric power technology that is cost-effective 
and well-suited to meet the needs of rural and remote regions 
of the United States, especially where permafrost is present or 
located nearby. Further, the Committee recommends up to 
$1,000,000 for the Arctic Energy Office to work with the Office 
of Nuclear Energy to help facilitate the Department of Defense 
to meet Congressional deadlines for deployment of micro-
reactors.
    The Committee encourages the Arctic Energy Office to 
explore the feasibility, scalability, and potential 
commercialization of utilizing data server waste heat from 
immersion cooling technologies as a heat source for integration 
with other renewable energy resources for heat pump district 
heating purposes.
    The Committee encourages the Department to consider 
potential steps to ensuring that all photovoltaic modules 
installed or used in the performance of an energy saving 
performance contract, utility service energy contract, or any 
other agreement with the Department that involved photovoltaic 
modules installed on Federal property, are in compliance with 
the requirements of the Buy America Act.
    The Committee directs the Office of Policy to coordinate 
with the National Energy Technology Laboratory, in consultation 
with relevant agencies, institutions, academia, and think tank 
partners as necessary, to conduct a study to determine the 
average product emissions intensity of certain goods produced 
in the U.S. compared to those from other countries. Certain 
goods shall include aluminum, articles of aluminum, cement, 
iron and steel, biofuels, crude oil, fertilizer, glass, 
hydrogen, lithium-ion batteries, natural gas, petrochemicals, 
plastics, pulp and paper, refined strategic and critical 
minerals (copper, cobalt, graphite, lithium, manganese, and 
nickel), refined petroleum products, solar cells and panels, 
uranium, and wind turbines. The report shall include a detailed 
and transparent description of the methodology used to 
determine the average product emissions intensity of a product, 
a record of all sources of data used, and a list of covered 
products.
    Due Diligence on Battery and Critical Minerals Projects.--
The committee remains concerned about the People's Republic of 
China's control over the battery and critical minerals supply 
chain. Battery and critical minerals related programs supported 
by the Inflation Reduction Act and the Infrastructure 
Investment and Jobs Act were designed to onshore these supply 
chains and limit China's control, however the Committee is 
disappointed by reports that the Department's due diligence and 
vetting process has not been sufficient and are concerned it 
could result in China benefiting from U.S. tax dollars. 
Therefore, the Committee recommends not less than $5,000,000 
for the Office of Research, Technology, and Economic Security 
which will play a significant role in ensuring the Department 
is distributing funding from the Inflation Reduction Act and 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act responsibly.

                    Office of the Inspector General

Appropriations, 2024....................................     $86,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     149,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      86,000,000

    The Committee recommends $86,000,0000 for the Office of the 
Inspector General [OIG]. The OIG is directed to continue 
providing quarterly briefings to the Committee on 
implementation of the independent audit strategy.
    The Committee notes that the report submitted on April 18, 
2024, regarding the OIG's collection of payroll information 
from Department contractors did not adequately address the 
reporting requirements set forth in the joint explanatory 
statement [JES] from the Department of Energy and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-42). The 
Committee continues to be concerned about the extensive payroll 
and other personally identifiable data that the Department has 
collected that covers thousands of employees, the numerous 
Privacy Act protection waivers, storage, and transparency of 
costs. The Committee notes that the report, as submitted, does 
not include the appropriate level of detail to satisfy the 
requirements of the JES.
    For example, although the report notes that costs to store 
the data are negligible and that costs to analyze the data 
could be up to $275,000 in fiscal year 2024, the fiscal year 
2025 budget request for the OIG includes an additional 
$5,089,000 that appears to support an increase in ``investments 
in cloud technology, forensic hardware, and software to sustain 
the data analytics program, cyber, and technical crimes 
capabilities.'' The report also failed to include any 
information related to outyear funding required for the OIG's 
efforts. The Committee continues to be concerned about the lack 
of transparency over the sources and amounts of funding that 
the Department is proposing to allocate for these efforts. 
Additionally, the report failed to include the specific 
policies that would protect sensitive personal data from abuse 
or disclosure and only generically addressed the concerns 
expressed in the JES about the proposed broad Privacy Act 
exemptions. The report also fails to include the specific 
justification for such a broad aggregation of contractor data.
    Accordingly, the Committee continues for fiscal year 2025 
the direction that was included in the JES that prior to 
obligating any funding in fiscal year 2025 to modify the 
statement of records referenced in the JES, to collect any 
additional data, or to populate it, the Department and the OIG 
shall provide a report to the Committee that is comprehensively 
responsive to the JES and shall provide a briefing to discuss 
the Committee's concerns immediately upon enactment of this 
act.

                    ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES


                NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

    The Committee recommendation for the National Nuclear 
Security Administration [NNSA] continues funding for 
recapitalization of our nuclear weapons infrastructure, while 
modernizing and maintaining a safe, secure, and credible 
nuclear deterrent without the need for underground testing.
    The Committee supports continuing important efforts to 
secure and permanently eliminate remaining stockpiles of 
nuclear and radiological materials both here and abroad to 
reduce the global danger from the proliferation of weapons of 
mass destruction. The Committee also supports Naval Reactors 
and the important role they play in enabling the Navy's nuclear 
fleet.
    A highly skilled and diverse workforce is required to 
maintain and modernize the nuclear weapons stockpile and 
execute the global nonproliferation initiatives of the NNSA. 
The Committee commends the NNSA for considerable progress made 
to recruit and retain this unique workforce.
    NNSA maintains that its mission is driven by military 
requirements and the global world landscape. But too often NNSA 
has over-promised, over-spent, and under-delivered on its 
important commitments. It is imperative, both in responsibility 
to the taxpayers and our national security, that NNSA maintain 
its focus on improving the management of projects and programs. 
This responsibility is not without a roadmap. The Government 
Accountability Office [GAO] has made numerous recommendations 
to NNSA to improve management of its projects and programs. As 
of June 2024, GAO considers 72 recommendations it has made to 
NNSA as open. Some of these recommendations have remained open 
since 2015. The Committee therefore directs NNSA to continue 
providing quarterly briefings on the status and progress of 
GAO's open recommendations to NNSA. These briefings shall 
detail the actions NNSA has taken or plans to take to address 
each open recommendation, timeframes for completion, and any 
barriers to implementing the recommendation.
    The Committee acknowledges the ongoing work with GAO to 
update the March 2020 report on the Uranium Processing Facility 
[UPF] to identify the causes of UPF cost growth and schedule 
slippage; corrective actions to address these problems; and the 
scope, cost, and schedule of activities funded by the Uranium 
Modernization program. Further, NNSA is directed to continue 
working with GAO as they carry out this work to identify and 
address any downstream effects of the delays.
    The Committee notes that NNSA has yet to furnish the report 
required by Senate Report 118-72 detailing the requirements 
(e.g. statutory/regulatory, executive orders, Nuclear Weapons 
Council, internal directives, policy, etc.) that NNSA operates 
under and how NNSA negotiates, prioritizes, and balances them; 
examples of requirements considered through the Nuclear Weapons 
Council that NNSA either modified or rejected as infeasible; 
examples of significant changes in NNSA requirements over the 
past decade and the negative effects that were realized when 
NNSA could not meet its original requirements; the extent to 
which some requirements may be changed to better match agency 
capabilities or capabilities that may be expanded to meet 
requirements; and based on current and planned weapons 
modernization, a rank ordering of the production infrastructure 
most urgently needed over the next 20 years. NNSA is directed 
to provide this report immediately upon enactment of this act.

                           PROJECT MANAGEMENT

    The Committee notes NNSA's inability to properly estimate 
costs and timelines for large projects. NNSA is encouraged to 
assess and reassess as needed current performance on projects 
costing more than $750,000,000, and make appropriate project 
management changes. When reassessing, the Committee encourages 
NNSA to identify problems in cost and schedule estimates early, 
and provide updated information to the Committee immediately.

                           Weapons Activities

Appropriations, 2024.................................... $19,108,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................  19,848,644,000
Committee recommendation................................  19,930,000,000

    The Committee recommends $19,930,000,000 for Weapons 
Activities to ensure the safety, security, reliability, and 
effectiveness of the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile without 
the need for underground nuclear testing.
    University Collaboration.--The Committee continues to note 
the progress of the NNSA Center of Excellence in supporting 
collaborative research for stockpile applications and the 
student pipeline for the human resource needs of the national 
security enterprise. Within available funds, the Committee is 
also supportive of expanding the partnerships with the whole 
enterprise using artificial intelligence and data analytics 
applications. NNSA is encouraged to continue these efforts, 
including developing a recruiting pipeline capability across 
the enterprise, in consultation with institutions that have an 
existing track record with institutions traditionally 
underrepresented in the nuclear security industry, including 
Minority Serving Institutions.
    Streamlining Construction of Non-Nuclear Facilities.--Last 
year, Congress directed NNSA to evaluate options to streamline 
construction of non-nuclear facilities and brief the Committee 
on proposed pilot projects. To date, the Department has not 
provided that brief. The Department is directed to provide the 
requested brief within 120 days after enactment of this act.

                          STOCKPILE MANAGEMENT

    Plutonium Pit Production.--The Committee continues to be 
concerned that NNSA is not fully accounting for risk to 
schedule and cost for its two-site pit production strategy. A 
September 2020 GAO Report on the W87-1 Warhead Program 
recommended that NNSA's plutonium program office ensure that 
the integrated master schedule for pit production meet NNSA 
Integrated Master Schedule [NIMS] standards, consistent with 
best practices for schedule development. In January 2023, GAO 
found that NNSA's pit production schedule does not meet minimum 
qualifications to be considered an integrate master schedule. 
As of June 2024, this recommendation is still considered unmet. 
NNSA is directed to brief the Committee on the progress of 
meeting this recommendation immediately upon enactment of this 
act.
    The Committee supports investment in pit production in 
recognition of new threats and challenges maintaining readiness 
on aging systems. The Committee recommends not less than 
$10,000,000 for next-generation machining and assembly 
technology development for high volume pit production.
    As the Committee directed in Public Law 118-42, NNSA must 
enter into an agreement with the scientific advisory group 
known as JASON to conduct an assessment of the September 2021 
report entitled ``Research Program Plan for Plutonium and Pit 
Aging.'' As previously directed, the assessment is required to 
include the following: (1) Review whether that report meets the 
criteria for appropriate pit aging research described by JASON 
in its 2019 Pit Aging Letter Report (JSR-19-2A); (2) suggest 
any improvements or additions to that report; (3) review the 
initial data collected by the national laboratories under that 
report to determine if it is possible to update the expected 
lifetime of plutonium pits; and (4) if unable to update the 
expected lifetime of plutonium pits, JASON shall provide an 
estimate of when such an update is possible. In accordance with 
previous Committee direction, NNSA is once again directed to 
enter into an agreement with JASON immediately upon enactment 
of this act, and brief the Committee on the anticipated 
timeline for the assessment.
    Stockpile Major Modernization.--The Committee is concerned 
at the lack of detail and level of specificity provided by NNSA 
in response to requests for obligation reports of previously 
appropriated funds and spend plans for future funding on the 
SLCM-N program. The Committee is also concerned by the high 
level of uncosted balances on the SLCM-N program as of July 
2024, and the lack of sufficient justification for the 
$70,000,000 requested in the FY25 Unfunded Priorities List. 
NNSA is directed to provide in writing to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a detailed five-year 
spend plan that will include a breakdown of which sites are 
receiving W80-X Alteration-SLCM funds, what is being studied 
and worked on at each site and for what purpose, and a detailed 
explanation of why resources are necessary for carrying out 
that work at each specific site. The spend plan should also 
include how NNSA is utilizing funding in collaboration with the 
Department of Defense to meet DOD's timeline for W80-X 
Alteration-SLCM-N development. The report shall be provided to 
the Committees within 90 day of enactment.

             STOCKPILE RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING

    The Committee recommends $3,379,510,000 for Stockpile 
Research, Technology, and Engineering.
    Academic Programs.--The Committee recommends $128,188,000 
for Academic Programs, recognizing the importance of the 
Academic Programs in supporting fundamental science and 
technology research at universities that support stockpile 
stewardship, the development of the next generation of a highly 
trained workforce, and the maintenance of a strong network of 
independent technical peers. Of the funds provided for the 
NNSA's Academic Alliances Programs, $12,000,000 is designated 
for the Tribal Colleges and Universities Partnership Program 
and $45,000,000 for the Minority Serving Institution 
Partnership Program. NNSA is directed to fully distribute this 
designated funding.
    Inertial Confinement Fusion Ignition and High-Yield.--The 
Committee recommends $760,000,000 for the inertial confinement 
fusion [ICF] ignition and high-yield campaign. The Committee 
supports prioritization of facility sustainment efforts at the 
three leading ICF facilities consistent with NNSA's ICF 
sustainment facility and infrastructure plan submitted to 
Congress. Within available funds, not less than $462,000,000 
for the National Ignition Facility [NIF], not less than 
$93,000,000 for the Z Facility, not less than $105,000,000 for 
the OMEGA laser facility, and not less than $32,000,000 for Los 
Alamos National Laboratory. A predictable and sustained 
availability of targets is essential to the operations of 
NNSA's ICF facilities. As such, the Committee provides not less 
than $45,000,000 for target research, development, and 
fabrication to cost-effectively operate the NIF, Z, and OMEGA 
facilities.
    Advanced Simulation and Computing.--The Committee 
recommends $879,500,000 for Advanced Simulation and Computing. 
The Committee directs the Department to continue developing a 
multi-year program, leveraging public-private partnerships to 
co-design and co-develop leading edge post-Exascale Computing 
Initiative [ECI] advanced computing technologies vital for 
continued U.S. world leadership in scientific discovery, 
national security, and economic well-being.
    Strategic Computing Complex Satellite Campus Feasibility 
Study.--The Committee recognizes that Los Alamos National 
Laboratory's growth is currently constrained by limited housing 
stock and insufficient electrical power supply. As such, NNSA 
is directed to spend up to $2,000,000 to conduct a land 
development study evaluating the feasibility of locating 
successor computing systems at a satellite facility. The 
feasibility study should include consideration of Espanola, 
Pojoaque, and White Rock, New Mexico. The study should evaluate 
the potential satellite location's physical, environmental, 
legal, and regulatory issues of the potential site, as well as 
consideration of the site's water and electrical resources, 
soil quality, topography, drainage, utilities, and housing 
availability. NNSA should solicit input from tribes and local 
governments. NNSA is directed to provide a copy of the 
finalized study and brief the Committee immediately upon 
completion.
    Tritium and Domestic Uranium Enrichment.--The nuclear 
deterrent relies on an efficient and reliable system to process 
tritium in quantities that meet current and future stockpile 
stewardship requirements. The Committee recognizes the 
Department's multi-program research and development efforts to 
assess tritium requirements and capabilities that can be used 
in the near term to mature technology and deploy in a relevant 
environment, as well as evaluating future facility investments. 
The Committee directs NNSA to provide a briefing to the 
Committee not less than 60 days after enactment of this act on 
its plan to develop, test, and validate new surveillance and 
processing technologies associated with tritium operations that 
are cost effective and provide greater efficiency, and 
reliability.

                     INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS

    Operations.--As part of implementing the Department of 
Energy's Environmental Impact Statement [EIS] 0293, NNSA is 
directed to spend up to $500,000 to conduct a study of portions 
of Tract A-14 (Rendija Canyon) that may be suitable for 
conveyance for residential use. Suitable land means subtracts 
that have been identified by NNSA in consultation with the U.S. 
Army Corps of Engineers that meet the requirements for 
conveyance under Public Law 105-119, require minimal 
remediation, and will meet the Department of Energy Order 458.1 
and National Environmental Policy Act requirements for 
conveyance. NNSA shall submit to the House and Senate 
Appropriations Committees a report with the results of the 
study immediately upon completion.

                    Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $2,581,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   2,465,108,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,630,000,000

    The Committee recommends $2,630,000,000 for Defense Nuclear 
Nonproliferation. The Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation program 
is critically important to our National security by preventing 
nuclear materials and weapons from falling into the wrong 
hands, including non-nuclear weapon States, terrorist 
organizations, and non-state actors. This program helps protect 
our Nation from emerging and ever evolving threats.

       UNIVERSITY CONSORTIA FOR NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION RESEARCH

    The Department of Energy's four University Consortia for 
Nuclear Nonproliferation Research link basic university 
research with applied laboratory research to advance technical 
capabilities in support of nuclear security and 
nonproliferation missions of NNSA, and enable an effective 
pipeline of talented next-generation experts to contribute to 
the future success of the National laboratories. The Committee 
recognizes the importance of this program and fully funds these 
efforts within Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and 
Development.
    Nonproliferation Stewardship Program.--The recommendation 
provides $165,000,000 for the Nonproliferation Stewardship 
Program. NNSA is encouraged to support additional research, 
workforce development and buildout of infrastructure to address 
national security challenges related to uranium processing, 
enrichment, and weaponization by foreign actors.

                             Naval Reactors

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $1,946,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   2,118,773,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,077,000,000

    The Committee recommends $2,077,000,000 for Naval Reactors.

               COLUMBIA-CLASS REACTOR SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT

    The Committee recommends $45,610,000 for Columbia-Class 
Reactor Systems Development. Columbia-class submarines remain 
vital to maintaining our survivable deterrent.
    The Committee recommends $868,380,000 for Naval Reactors 
Development. The Committee directs Naval Reactors to continue 
providing quarterly briefings to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress outlining its 
research and development program's direction and plan for the 
future. Within the available funds, the Committee recommends 
$94,750,000 for the Advanced Test Reactor.

                     Federal Salaries and Expenses

Appropriations, 2024....................................    $500,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................     564,475,000
Committee recommendation................................     564,000,000

    The Committee recommends $564,000,000 for Federal Salaries 
and Expenses. The Committee continues to support funding for 
the necessary recruitment and retention of the highly-skilled 
personnel needed to meet NNSA's important mission. NNSA is 
directed to continue providing monthly updates on the status of 
hiring and retention. NNSA is experiencing its highest work 
tempo in decades as it seeks to modernize the nuclear weapons 
stockpile and its supporting infrastructure. At the same time, 
changing geopolitics are challenging nonproliferation and arms 
control regimes, affecting how NNSA pursues its programmatic 
objectives. NNSA's Federal workforce is essential to the 
success of its missions, and the Committee is concerned that 
morale in the agency is impacting its ability to maximize 
success. As such, the Committee directs GAO to undertake a 
review of morale at NNSA with a specific focus on (1) the 
factors at NNSA that contribute to both positive and negative 
morale, (2) any initiatives that are underway to improve morale 
and how those initiatives have been designed and their outcomes 
measured, and (3) any additional opportunities the agency can 
take to address morale challenges. This could include examining 
how other agencies that have faced morale challenges. GAO shall 
provide the results of this assessment to the House and Senate 
Appropriations Committees no later than 18 months after 
enactment.

                     Defense Environmental Cleanup

Appropriations, 2024....................................  $7,285,000,000
Budget estimate, 2025...................................   7,059,695,000
Committee recommendation................................   7,550,000,000

    The Committee recommendation for Defense Environmental 
Cleanup is $7,550,000,000. Within available funds, the 
Department is directed to provide $10,000,000 for the hazardous 
waste worker training program
    Future Budget Requests.--The Committee continues to direct 
the Department to include out-year funding projections in the 
annual budget request by control point for Environmental 
Management, and an estimate of the total cost and time to 
complete each site.
    Richland.--The Committee reminds the Department that while 
Hanford's tank waste mission is directly tied to commitments 
between the Department, the Environmental Protection Agency, 
and the Washington State Department of Ecology, Richland is 
integral to the health and success of Hanford overall and must 
receive the support it needs. The Committee remains concerned 
about risks stemming from contamination beneath Building 324 
and directs the Department to consider conducting additional 
groundwater monitoring in this area.
    The Committee recognizes that the Volpentest Hazardous 
Materials Management and Emergency Response Federal Training 
Center [HAMMER] offers nationally recognized, comprehensive 
safety and emergency response training for workers across the 
Department's complex and beyond. Therefore, the Committee 
encourages the Department to prioritize HAMMER to the greatest 
extent possible, including for training needs associated with 
the High-Level Waste Facility. Further, the Committee provides 
$5,000,000 for the preservation of historic structures at the 
Hanford site associated with the Manhattan Project National 
Historical Park. Within 90 days of enactment of this act, the 
Department, in coordination with the National Park Service, 
shall provide the Committee an updated list of preservation 
projects at the site, in priority order.
    Office of River Protection.--The Committee recommends 
$2,208,105,000 for the Office of River Protection. Funding 
above the request is provided for design, engineering, 
procurement, and construction of the High-Level Waste Treatment 
Facility. The Committee notes that the Department has reached a 
holistic agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency and 
the Washington State Department of Ecology. The Department is 
reminded that compliance with this agreement will require 
significant funding increases in future years. The Department 
is directed to request adequate funding to meet the obligations 
laid out in the holistic agreement in future budget requests.
    Any unused funds in the 18-D-16 Waste Treatment and 
Immobilization Plant--LBL/Direct Feed LAW construction line-
item may be used for Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant 
commissioning and operations.
    Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.--Waste Isolation Pilot Plant 
[WIPP] road infrastructure funding was provided to the State of 
New Mexico with section 15(a) of the WIPP LWA (LWA, Public Law 
102-579, as amended by Public Law 104-201) from 1999 through 
2012. Provisions of section 15 of the LWA included payments to 
New Mexico of $20,000,000 annually indexed for inflation, for a 
14-year period. The Committee continues to recognize the 
importance of well-maintained roadways throughout approved 
transportation routes for promoting public safety and safe 
transportation of transuranic waste to the WIPP. A September 
2023 Department of Energy Report, ``Evaluation of New Mexico 
Roadway Condition and Usage in Support of the Waste Isolation 
Pilot Plant,'' found that 59 percent of WIPP routes are rated 
as ``fair'' or lower, with 21 percent rated as ``poor.'' The 
deteriorated roadway conditions near the WIPP pose a safety 
risk to both WIPP staff and transuranic [TRU] shipments. Given 
the deteriorated conditions of roadways, the Committee 
recommends the Department make a voluntary payment of 
$40,000,000 in fiscal year 2025 to the State of New Mexico for 
WIPP route related road infrastructure projects. These funds 
shall only be used for projects mutually agreed upon by the 
Department and the State of New Mexico.
    Oak Ridge Reservation.--The Office of Environmental 
Management [EM] continues to support the Department of Energy's 
science and defense missions at Oak Ridge through environmental 
remediation, demolition of excess facilities, and the 
disposition of legacy and newly generated waste. The Committee 
encourages the respective programs to continue to work together 
effectively and efficiently to ensure cleanup of sites and 
managing waste. The Department is directed to brief the 
Committee within 120 days after enactment of this act on EM's 
ongoing operations in Oak Ridge, to include the costs of EM's 
activities, use of EM facilities in Oak Ridge by other programs 
or sites, and current cost sharing arrangements.
    Technology Development.--The Committee notes that funding 
designed for nuclear cleanup R&D has declined since 2000. An 
October 2021 report by the U.S. Government Accountability 
Office found the Department of Energy's Office of Environmental 
Management should incorporate risk-informed decision-making to 
set cleanup priorities within and across its sites. 
Furthermore, GAO said a comprehensive approach to prioritizing 
R&D that follows a risk-informed decision-making framework 
would provide sites with more valuable guidance for R&D 
spending beyond their immediate operational needs and help 
direct its limited R&D resources to the highest priorities. The 
Committee directs the Office of Environmental Management to 
develop a report outlining technology development R&D projects 
in priority order on an annual basis and share this report with 
the Committees on Appropriations on an annual basis. The report 
shall include funding necessary to carry out each project and a 
rationale for the R&D work including how it is related to 
reducing the future costs of the Office of EM's cleanup 
efforts. Given the need to prioritize R&D funding within a 
risk-informed decision-making framework, the Committee includes 
no funding set-asides within the Office of Environmental 
Management's Technology Development account to ensure it has 
the latitude to set priorities based on mission needs and 
opportunities.
    Containment Ventilation Systems.--The Committee supports 
the Department's efforts to expand its research and technology 
development and demonstration activities to address its long-
term and technically complex cleanup challenges. The Committee 
encourages the Department to continue its work on 
qualification, testing and research to advance the state-of-
the-art containment ventilation systems, and directs the 
Department to brief the Committee on its progress and any 
future budget requirements necessary to address the 
Department's other research and technology development 
challenges within 120 days of enactment of this act.

    The Commission is directed to provide budget request 
amounts rounded to the thousands in all tables in future budget 
request submissions.
    Integrated University Program.--The Commission is directed 
to use $16,000,000 of prior year, unobligated balances for the 
Integrated University Program, including for grants to support 
research projects that do not align with programmatic missions 
but are critical to maintaining the discipline of nuclear 
science and engineering. Because the Commission has already 
collected fees corresponding to these activities in prior 
years, the Committee does not include these funds within the 
fee base calculation for determining authorized revenues, and 
does not provide authority to collect additional offsetting 
receipts for their use.
    Reactor Oversight and Safety.--The Commission is directed 
to continue to provide regular briefings to the Committee on 
the Commission's current reactor oversight and safety program 
and on any proposed changes before they are implemented.
    Budget Execution Plan.--The Commission is directed to 
provide to the Committee not later than 30 days after enactment 
of this act a specific budget execution plan. The plan shall 
include details at the product line level within each of the 
control points.
    Telework Plan.--The fiscal year 2024 directed the 
Commission to provide a report with detailed metrics to 
evaluate staff performance and productivity as a part of 
implementing its telework policy. The Committee still awaits 
this analysis and directs the Commission to provide this report 
expeditiously.
    Advanced Nuclear Reactor Regulatory Infrastructure.--The 
recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the development of 
regulatory infrastructure for advanced nuclear technologies, 
which is not subject to the Commission's general fee recovery 
collection requirements. The fiscal year 2024 act directed the 
Commission to provide a report on organizational effectiveness 
and is still awaiting the report. The committee remains 
concerned about the Commission's preparedness to review and 
approve license applications for first-of-a-kind reactor 
technology and directs the commission to provide this report 
expeditiously.
     Fusion Regulatory Infrastructure.--As the Commission 
updates consolidated guidance, the Commission is directed to 
evaluate risk- and performance-based licensing evaluation 
techniques and guidance for the use of mass-manufactured fusion 
energy systems, in consultation with Agreement States and the 
private fusion industry. The Commission is also encouraged to 
evaluate the Federal Aviation Administration's design, 
manufacturing, and operations certification process for 
aircraft as a potential model for mass-manufactured fusion 
energy system regulations.

         DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS

    The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the 
purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should 
make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money.
    As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the 
Senate, the term ``congressionally directed spending item'' 
means a provision or report language included primarily at the 
request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a 
specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit 
authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, 
loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure 
with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality 
or congressional district, other than through a statutory or 
administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process.
    For each item, a Member is required to provide a 
certification that neither the Member nor the Member's 
immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such 
congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are 
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee 
on Appropriations (https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/
congressionally-directed-spending-requests).
    Following is a list of congressionally directed spending 
items included in the Senate recommendation discussed in this 
report, along with the name of each Senator who submitted a 
request to the Committee of jurisdiction for each item so 
identified. Neither the Committee recommendation nor this 
report contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff 
benefits as defined in rule XLIV.

                                                         CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS
