                                PURPOSE

    The purpose of this bill is to provide appropriations for 
fiscal year 2024, beginning October 1, 2023 and ending 
September 30, 2024, 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 April and May 2023 in connection with the 
fiscal year 2024 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.

                                TITLE I

                       CORPS OF ENGINEERS--CIVIL

                         DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

                       Corps of Engineers--Civil

                       Overview of Recommendation

    The Committee recommends $8,934,891,000 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 25,000 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 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 
        2.3 billion tons of cargo annually;
  --Flood risk management infrastructure, including 747 dams, 
        13,336 miles of levees, and multiple hurricane and 
        storm damage risk reduction projects along the coast;
  --Municipal and industrial water supply storage at 135 
        projects spread across 26 States;
  --Environmental stewardship, infrastructure, and ecosystem 
        restoration;
  --Recreation for approximately 262 million recreation visits 
        per year to Corps projects;
  --Regulation of waters under Federal statutes; and
  --Maintaining hydropower capacity of nearly 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 supported Water Resources 
Development Acts' [WRDA] directives, over several iterations, 
and encouraged the Corps to implement beneficial use of dredged 
material as part of the construction and maintenance of our 
Nation's waterways. The Committee is aware the Chief of 
Engineers released a program vision with a goal for the Corps 
to advance the practice of beneficial use to 70 percent by 
2030. The Committee applauds the Corps efforts to increase 
beneficial use across the enterprise; however, the process 
remains slow and primarily focused on operations and 
maintenance activities and authorities. The Corps is directed 
to provide the Committee with a list of projects that meet the 
guidance on beneficial use and ensure annual maintenance 
dredging of deep-draft navigation channels.

                        BUDGET STRUCTURE CHANGES

    The fiscal year 2024 budget request for the Corps proposed 
numerous structural changes, including two accounts-Harbor 
Maintenance Trust Fund [HMTF] and Inland Waterways Trust Fund 
[IWTF]; 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;
  --Projects requested in the IWTF account are shown in the 
        Construction account;
  --Dam safety modification studies requested in the 
        Investigations account 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.

                         COLUMBIA RIVER TREATY

    The Committee appreciates the work of the Corps, Bureau of 
Reclamation (Reclamation), and the Bonneville Power 
Administration, in coordination with the Department of State, 
on the Columbia River Treaty, and notes that the Department of 
State continues to negotiate the Columbia River Treaty with 
Canada. The Corps, Reclamation, and the Bonneville Power 
Administration are directed to brief the Committee, in a 
classified setting and in coordination with the Department of 
State, no later than 60 days after enactment of this act on the 
execution plan for a modernized agreement, including matters 
relating to flood control operations, power generation, and 
ecosystem restoration, as applicable. Further, no later than 90 
days after enactment of this act, the Corps shall provide the 
Committee with an updated classified detailed assessment, in 
coordination with the Department of State, of its funding 
requirements and plan for post-fiscal year 2023 flood control 
operations as dictated by the Columbia River Treaty.

                   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 Committee is deeply disappointed that the 
Administration chose not to recommend funding for the new 
starts that were previously funded with congressionally 
directed spending. This lack of funding is baffling, 
particularly when some of the new work recommended in the 
budget has no identified non-Federal partner. However, 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 strongly 
encouraged to prioritize 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 Clause as described in Engineer 
Circulars 11-2-221 and 11-2-222, and the Incremental Funding 
Clause [DFARS 252.2327-7007]. This permits the Corps to award 
the entire contract and fund the contract incrementally until 
completion. This acquisition strategy is well-suited to large, 
multi-year projects, including those with life safety, national 
security, or legal concerns, and is being used successfully at 
multiple projects nationwide. The Administration is directed to 
continue using its existing continuing contract authorities in 
accordance with the general provisions in this act as an 
efficient approach to managing large, multi-year projects.

                  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. The Corps is directed to provide 
the Committee with the work plan and future budget requests, 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 2024 budget request 
only proposes to spend $1,726,000,000 for HMTF-related 
activities, which is $1,044,946,000 below the spending target 
of $2,770,946,000 established by the CARES Act.
    Additionally, WRDA 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 $58,000,000 for donor and 
energy transfer ports. The Committee is disappointed the budget 
included none of this funding and encourages the Corps to 
include funding for this program in future budget requests.

                        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.
    Congress continues to invest in inland waterway projects 
and fully funded all ongoing work to full capability in fiscal 
year 2023. The Committee is 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.

                             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. The 
Committee is disappointed the budget request does not include 
funding for the Brandon Road Lock and Dam, Aquatic Nuisance 
Species Barrier project.
    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 2024.
    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 2024 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 Corps is encouraged to 
support opportunities to restore critical habitat and enhance 
the Nation's economic development, job growth, and 
international competitiveness.
    New Starts.--The Committee includes the five new start 
Investigations studies and one new start Construction project 
in the budget request without change. The Committee also 
includes new starts in Investigations and Construction. 
However, the Committee reminds the Administration that only new 
starts with a willing and able non-Federal sponsor should be 
recommended in the budget request.
    The recommendation also includes four new starts in 
Investigations and one in Construction. Of the new starts in 
Investigations, three shall be for flood and storm damage 
reduction studies that were authorized in WRDA 2022 and are in 
States that had a Federal Disaster Emergency declared in 2022; 
and one shall be for a Section 216 navigation study. The new 
construction start shall be for flood and storm damage 
reduction. 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;
  --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 Committee is 
disappointed an increase in funding was recommended in the 
budget for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army 
(Civil Works) while this report has yet to be provided.

                             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 2024 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.

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

    Arkansas Red River Chloride.--The Committee rejects the 
budget request to fund a disposition study of this project.
    Cahokia Heights & East St. Louis, Illinois.--The Committee 
supports the ongoing Flood Hazard Analysis in the Ping Pong 
area of Cahokia Heights and East St. Louis, Illinois. The 
analysis will provide valuable information to these 
historically disadvantaged communities about the root causes of 
flooding, as well as recommendations and cost estimates for 
improvements to alleviate future flooding. The Committee 
understands the analysis will be completed in 2023 and 
encourages the Corps to continue working with communities in 
Cahokia Heights and East St. Louis on future efforts in 
expanded areas.
    Chicago Shoreline.--The Committee reiterates the WRDA 2020 
Conference Report, which requires the Chicago Shoreline to be a 
focus area of the Great Lakes Resiliency Study.
    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 
$400,000 to continue database development and scoping of future 
needs.
    Flood Policy in Urban Areas.--The Committee has continually 
requested the Flood Policy in Urban Areas report as detailed in 
section 1211 of America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 
(Public Law 115-270) [AWIA 2018]. The Committee understands the 
report has been under review for months and directs the Corps 
to provide the report within 45 days of enactment of this act.
    Port of Port Townsend Breakwater.--The Committee strongly 
encourages the Corps to work with Port of Port Townsend to 
evaluate the existing breakwater and a future Section 216 
study.
    Research and Development--Biopolymers.--The Committee 
recommends $6,000,000 of additional funding to complete 
research on the use of biopolymers to rehabilitate, maintain, 
and increase resiliency of civil works structures against 
potential threats.
    Research and Development--Flood and Coastal Systems.--The 
Committee recognizes the importance of ensuring the integrity 
of our Nation's flood control systems and employing the most 
effective technologies to identify potential deficiencies in 
these systems. The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to complete 
the ongoing effort to automate assessment and inspection of 
flood control systems for the purpose of identifying levee 
deficiencies, such as slope instability, settlement and 
seepage, and ensuring the safety of the surrounding areas and 
communities. The Committee expects this work to contribute to 
existing operations and maintenance activities.
    Research and Development--Innovative Materials.--The 
Committee understands the Corps is utilizing funding provided 
in fiscal year 2023 to conduct a study on innovative materials 
and understands the report will be completed in 2025. The Corps 
is directed to brief the Committee within 60 days of the start 
of the study on the scope and schedule for 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.
    Research and Development--Polymer Composites.--The Corps is 
directed to provide to the Committees not later than 90 days 
after enactment of this act a briefing on the progress of the 
report funded by Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act [IIJA] 
(Public Law 117-58) and future work to be undertaken on this 
effort.
    Research and Development--Subsurface Drains.--The Committee 
encourages the Corps to fund research and development 
opportunities of subsurface drain systems as part of an 
integrated modeling system for consideration of future 
potential flood risk or coastal storm risk reduction measures 
in project development.
    River Basin Commissions.--The Corps is reminded of the 
commitment to cost share with the Susquehanna River Basin 
Commission, the Delaware River Basin Commission, and the 
Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin. The Committee 
encourages the Corps to recommend funding in future budget 
submissions.
    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.
    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 economic stability in oceanfront communities. The Committee 
understands the challenges facing local governments in 
obtaining necessary approvals for easements when no work will 
be performed on the property for which the easement is being 
required. The Committee encourages the Corps to work with local 
governments to incorporate flexibility in project agreement 
language that allows for incremental acquisition of easements 
necessary for scheduled nourishments.
    Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, AL and MS and Black Warrior 
and Tombigbee Rivers Deepening Study.--The Committee is 
disappointed that more progress has not been made on the study 
and encourages the Corps to expedite the process to determine 
the remaining course of action on the study.
    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 the Bureau of 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.
    Western Everglades Restoration Project [WERP].--The 
Committee notes that the Federal cost share for construction 
and operation of all essential and necessary water quality 
features of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan 
[CERP] is authorized to be 50 percent. Further, the Committee 
is aware that stormwater treatment areas constructed under the 
CERP were determined integral to the Federal project and 
constructed under a 50-50 cost share. The Corps is reminded 
that stormwater treatment areas and other features found 
integral to the Federal project, including within the WERP, 
should be constructed consistent with the statutory cost share. 
Further, the Corps is strongly encouraged to expeditiously 
complete the WERP study.
    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 2024.
    Additionally, the Corps shall comply with the following 
direction in allocating funds recommended for Investigations:
  --The Corps shall consider completing or accelerating ongoing 
        studies, that will enhance the Nation's economic 
        development, job growth, and international 
        competitiveness; are located in areas that have 
        suffered recent natural disasters; protect life and 
        property; or address legal requirements; and
  --The Corps is urged to consider any national security 
        benefits a project may provide.

                   PLANNING, ENGINEERING, AND DESIGN

Appropriations, 2023....................................................
Budget estimate, 2024...................................................
Committee recommendation................................     $47,024,000

    The Committee recommends $47,024,000 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 recognizes the challenges facing the Corps, 
including the growing complexity of water resources development 
projects leading to an increasing frequency of multi-billion 
dollar projects while balancing limited resources. The 
Committee is also aware of the Corps' efforts to make risk-
informed decisions in order to comply with study duration and 
cost requirements, which have led to increased construction 
cost contingencies as more work is delayed to Planning, 
Engineering, and Design. Unfortunately, the Corps' increasing 
willingness to move projects into construction with minimal 
design contributes to increased costs over the duration of 
construction, which then impacts the ability of the Committee 
and non-Federal sponsors to effectively plan resources. 
Frankly, designing a construction project while also 
constructing it should be the exception not the rule. Critical 
efficiencies in contracting and workload balancing are lost or 
never realized because the full project is not quantified at 
the outset.
    Therefore, the Committee has created this new account to 
combat some of the challenges facing the Corps and non-Federal 
sponsors. 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. 
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. A new 
start or construction authorization shall not be required to 
move a project from Investigations to Planning, Engineering, 
and Design.

    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.
    Additional Funding.--Of the additional funding recommended, 
$7,000,000 shall be for Flood Risk Management Planning, 
Engineering, and Design activities.

Funded in remaining items.
Includes funds requested in other accounts.

    Advanced Measures.--The Corps is encouraged to fully use 
the authorities granted to it under the Advanced Measures 
program to mitigate the impacts of high water levels in the 
Great Lakes Basin.
    Aquatic Plant Control Program.--Of the funding recommended 
for the Aquatic Plant Control Program, $7,200,000 shall be for 
nationwide research and development to address invasive aquatic 
plants, within which the Corps is encouraged to support cost-
shared aquatic plant management programs. Additionally, 
$13,000,000 shall be 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), and (d)(1)(A)(iv); and related monitoring. 
Finally, $6,300,000 shall be to address infestations of 
hydrilla in Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River basins. 
The Corps is encouraged to consider the benefits of 
establishing a rapid response task force to cover the 
multistate watershed.
    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 $500,000 for the Corps, in partnership with other 
Federal partners, to continue planning, designing, initial 
engineering and project management activities for construction 
of carp barriers in the Mississippi River Basin and the 
Tennessee-Tombigbee waterway.
    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 of $500,000 is recommended to execute the 
beneficial use of dredged material at Tangier Island as a 
section 1122 project. The Corps is directed to brief the 
Committee prior to any effort to solicit or select any 
additional pilot projects as authorized by AWIA 2018.
    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.
    Brandon Road.--The Committee reminds the Corps to ensure 
the Brandon Road project is in full compliance with Illinois 
State laws, including completion of all State permitting 
requirements. The Committee encourages the Corps and the State 
of Illinois to expeditiously address any remaining real estate 
acquisition and remediation issues.
    Cape Cod Canal Bridges, Massachusetts.--The legislative 
proposal to facilitate the transfer of funds to State and local 
agencies is not included in the bill. The Committee directs the 
Corps to provide a briefing not later than 30 days after 
enactment of this act on the plan to use the funds for 
rehabilitating or replacing the Cape Cod Canal Bridges.
    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.
    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.
    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.
    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 
$53,000,000 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.
    The Corps shall allow for the advancement of flood control 
projects in combination with ecological benefits using natural 
and nature-based solutions alone, or in combination with, built 
infrastructure where appropriate for reliable risk reduction 
during the development of projects under section 205 of CAP. 
Additionally, within the section 1135 CAP authority, and to the 
extent already authorized by law, the Committee encourages the 
Corps to consider projects that restore degraded wetland 
habitat and stream habitat impacted by construction of Corps 
levees.
    Environmental Infrastructure.--Of the additional funding 
recommended, not less than $11,000,000 shall be for a multi-
State environmental infrastructure program. 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.
    Kentucky Lock and Dam, Kentucky.--The Committee remains 
concerned about major delays on construction projects, 
particularly the Kentucky Lock and Dam, which was provided 
funding by IIJA, and the Administration stated will physically 
complete and fiscally close out the project. The Corps is 
strongly urged to expedite construction.
    McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System [MKARNS].--
The Committee recognizes the importance of the MKARNS as an 
established Marine Highway for waterborne commerce to include 
agriculture and aggregate commodities (sand, gravel, and rock) 
from the Gulf Coast to the Mid-West. Deepening the MKARNS to a 
consistent 12-foot navigation channel will provide tow drafts 
that are more compatible with navigation on the Mississippi 
River, which will reduce inefficient barge operations and 
transportation costs.
    The Committee understands the Corps has allocated funding 
to complete preconstruction, engineering, and design work and 
begin construction and urges the Corps to prioritize this 
project in fiscal year 2024 to accelerate construction. The 
Committee continues to encourage the Corps to provide funds for 
nonstructural activities, such as channel deepening, with low 
annual funding needs in years where appropriated funds for IWTF 
cost shared projects are sufficient to accommodate such 
projects without impacting ongoing construction projects. 
Lastly, the Committee encourages the Corps to prioritize inland 
waterways projects consistent with the update to the Capital 
Investment Strategy, pursuant to section 2002(d) of WRRDA 2014.
    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 water levels for existing activities and functions 
are maintained, as detailed in section 1319 of the WIIN Act.
    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 USC 701q).
    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. In fiscal year 2023 the Corps was provided 
additional funds to develop an action plan to proactively 
engage with tribal communities in the western United States. 
The Committee understands the action plan will be completed in 
2024 and directs the Corps to brief the Committee no later than 
90 days after enactment of this act the progress of the plan. 
Following the completion of the action plan, the Corps is 
further directed to brief the Committee on its recommendations.
    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 2024, the Committee 
directs the Corps to ensure the accuracy of all budget 
justification sheets that inform SFER Integrated Financial Plan 
documents by September 30, 2024.
    Tribal Partnership Program.--The Committee recognizes the 
value of the Corps Tribal Partnership Program, which provides a 
framework that supports collaborative work with federally 
recognized Tribes to solve complex water resources problems, 
build trust between the U.S. government and Tribal nations, 
develop more effective Corps business practices, and increase 
stakeholder buy-in for strategic planning impacting Corps' 
watershed management and environmental stewardship. The 
Committee recommends additional funding for the Tribal 
Partnership Program, 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.
    Unified Facilities Guide Specifications.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of the Unified Facilities Guide 
Specifications, but remains concerned that it references 
building materials that no longer exist. Therefore, the 
Committee encourages the Corps to update the Unified Facilities 
Guide Specifications and ensure references to lower-carbon 
cements including portland-limestone cement, are included as 
appropriate. The Committee supports the use of lower-carbon 
building materials to reduce the environmental footprint of 
infrastructure projects.
    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 recommended in this account for flood and storm damage 
reduction and flood control, $20,000,000 shall be to continue 
construction of projects that principally address drainage in 
urban areas.
    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.

    Completion of the Mississippi River and Tributaries 
Project.--The Committee appreciates the efforts to complete the 
Mississippi River and Tributaries [MR&T] project to the 
authorized Federal design. The Committee understands an 
economic update is underway on the Mississippi River Main Stem. 
The Corps is directed to provide to the Committee not later 
than 60 days after enactment of this act a briefing on the 
economic update and completion status of the MR&T system.
    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. The Corps shall use such sums as are necessary to 
carry out remaining unconstructed features of projects 
authorized by law, in response to recent flood 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.

    Advanced Maintenance.--The Committee recognizes that many 
ports have draft limitations that restrict their ability to 
receive large container vessels. To assure maximum capabilities 
of the Nation's Federal shipping channels to support global 
commerce and to deliver near term supply chain solutions, the 
Committee urges the Corps to use available authorities, 
including advanced maintenance, to alleviate navigation 
restrictions in the Nation's Federal channels.
    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 in our Nation's water 
resources. 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; and to advance state-of-the-art unmanned aerial 
system based detection, monitoring, and mapping of invasive 
aquatic plant species.
    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 Corps is directed to provide 
the report within 60 days of enactment of this act.
    Asset Management/Facilities and Equipment Maintenance 
[FEM]--Structural Health Monitoring.--Of the funding 
recommended, $5,000,000 shall be to support the structural 
health monitoring program to facilitate research to maximize 
operations, enhance efficiency, and protect asset life through 
catastrophic failure mitigation.
    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 Corps led, multi-university efforts 
to identify engineering frameworks to address coastal 
resilience needs; to develop adaptive pathways that lead to 
coastal resilience; that measure the coastal forces that lead 
to infrastructure damage and erosion during extreme storm 
events; and to improve coupling of terrestrial and coastal 
models. Funding in addition to the budget request is also 
recommended for the Corps to continue work with the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's [NOAA] National Water 
Center on protecting the Nation's water resources.
    Coastal Ocean Data System [CODS].--The Committee is 
disappointed the budget did not recommend adequate funding for 
the base CODS programs and recommends $10,500,000 to continue 
these efforts. Additionally, no less than $6,500,000 shall be 
for long-term coastal wave and coastal sediment observations, 
research, and data products that support sustainable coastal 
and navigation projects.
    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 funds 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].--The Committee is impressed 
with the positive impact on the environment this program 
provides. 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 encourages the Corps to 
explore coastal restoration optimized for blue carbon 
CO2 sequestration as appropriate. 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, $5,000,000 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, $7,500,000 is 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.
    Inland Water Navigation Charts.--Of the funding recommended 
$2,000,000 shall be for the eHydro program to modernize and 
enhance the distribution of the navigation charts, and an 
additional $2,000,000 shall be to support the transition of the 
National Dredging Quality Management Program's automated 
dredging monitoring data to a cloud environment.
    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. Maintenance dredging of the Kennebec is essential to 
the safe passage of newly constructed Navy guided missile 
destroyers to the Atlantic Ocean. The Committee directs the 
Secretary to continue collaborating with the Department of the 
Navy to ensure regular maintenance dredging of the Kennebec.
    Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund Targets.--The Committee is 
disappointed that the Corps has twice failed to recommend HMTF 
work to meet the section 102 WRDA 2020 targets. The Committee 
is perplexed the Corps did not put a single dollar towards the 
donor and energy port target in the fiscal year 2023 work plan. 
Donor and energy ports are critical to our National supply 
chain and stable HTMF funding for expanded uses is fundamental 
to maintaining international competitiveness. This funding can 
assist with capital improvements at these critical ports which 
already pay a significant share of the collected tax. The 
Committee expects the Corps to meet the donor and energy target 
in the fiscal year 2024 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 2023 and 
strongly encourages the continued investment in this critical 
water system. Finally, in conjunction with the fiscal year 2024 
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.
    Levee Rehabilitation Projects in the Northwestern 
Division.--The Committee is concerned with the high number of 
levees in need of repair across the Northwestern Division, 
particularly in the Seattle District area of responsibility. Of 
the funding recommended for Other Authorized Project Purposes, 
$200,000 shall be for the Corps to provide a report no later 
than 1 year after enactment of this act outlining potential 
solutions and associated costs for developing a programmatic 
tool to address levee projects located on the same river basin. 
The report shall identify existing authorities that could be 
utilized to develop a levee rehabilitation program, as well as 
barriers to execution of such a program, and recommend 
additional authorities and programmatic solutions that are 
necessary to implement a levee rehabilitation program. 
Specifically, the report should include an analysis of the 
feasibility of a programmatic Endangered Species Act [ESA] 
consultation on subsets of levee projects and an analysis of 
additional staffing or training needs necessary to efficiently 
move projects forward. Subject to appropriate funds transfer 
authority, funds recommended may be transferred to U.S. Fish 
and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service to 
assist in the preparation of the report, as participation from 
these agencies is necessary for success. Finally, the 
feasibility of programmatic compliance with other major laws 
such as the Clean Water Act, National Environmental Policy Act, 
and section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act is 
also encouraged. The Corps is directed to brief the Committee 
within 60 days of enactment of this act on the plan for 
executing this report.
    Mobile Bay Beneficial Use of Dredged Material.--The 
Committee recognizes the critical importance of periodic 
shoreline restoration and 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 Dauphin Island as a 
potential beneficial use site.
    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, particularly 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 understands this research has proven valuable 
and, within available funds for ongoing work, directs the Corps 
to continue this research at not less than the fiscal year 2023 
level. The goal of the continued funding is to support the 
ongoing research. Of the funding recommended $4,000,000 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.
    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 
AWIA 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 Response to Climate Change, 
$700,000 shall be for this report.
    Regional Sediment Management.--Additional funding of 
$600,000 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.
    Regional Sediment Management--Geophysical Modeling.--Rising 
sea levels and the increasing severity and frequency of weather 
events continues to impact coastlines, rivers, and related 
habitats. The Committee understands $3,000,000 was recommended 
in the budget for these efforts and recommends additional 
funding of $1,000,000 to continue research using geophysical 
computational modeling.
    Rehabilitation of Pump Stations.--The Committee understands 
that section 8152 of WRDA 2022 allows the Corps to carry out 
rehabilitation of eligible pump stations. The Committee 
encourages the Corps to expeditiously move out on determining 
eligible pump stations and request adequate funding to 
rehabilitate such pumps.
    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 economic impact that 
these projects provide to local and regional economies.
    Surveillance of Northern Boundary Waters.--The Corps 
supports activities related to the Boundary Waters Treaty 
between the U.S. and Canada via participation in binational 
boards established by the International Joint Commission, 
including monitoring of hydrologic conditions, leading outreach 
and engagement, and collecting data related to boundary and 
transboundary water levels and flows. The Committee is 
concerned that the Corps has repeatedly reduced the funding 
requests for such work in the Surveillance of Northern Boundary 
Waters line item. The Corps is highly encouraged to include 
appropriate funding in future budget submissions for these 
activities.
    Tenkiller Ferry Lake.--The Committee is encouraged by the 
Corps' effort to use flows out of the surge tank to feed the 
fishery downstream of the Tenkiller Ferry Lake, and strongly 
encourages the Corps to complete the ongoing assessment as soon 
as possible.
    Water Operations Technical Support--Forecast Informed 
Reservoir Operations [FIRO].--The Committee is pleased with the 
results of 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.
    Water Operations Technical Support--Urban Flood Damage 
Reduction and Stream Restoration in Arid Regions.--The 
Committee recommends additional funds of $3,500,000 to continue 
the work on the management of water resources projects that 
promote public safety, reduce risk, improve operational 
efficiencies, reduce flood damage in arid and semi-arid 
regions, sustain the environment, and position water resources 
systems to adapt to the implications of a changing climate. The 
Corps shall continue its focus on addressing needs for 
resilient water resources infrastructure.
    Water Operations Technical Support--Water Control Manual 
Updates.--The Committee recommends additional funding of 
$2,000,000 for water control manual updates for non-Corps owned 
high hazard dams where: (1) the Corps has a responsibility for 
flood control operations under section 7 of the Flood Control 
Act of 1944; (2) the dam requires coordination of water 
releases with one or more other high-hazard dams for flood 
control purposes; and (3) the dam owner is actively 
investigating the feasibility of applying forecast informed 
reservoir operations technology.
    Wildfire Resiliency.--The Committee is increasingly 
concerned by the threat of wildfire to Corps projects and 
encourages the Corps to continue and expand efforts to 
implement wildfire mitigation projects at its facilities to 
protect Federal property and neighboring communities. The 
Committee encourages the Corps to consider vegetation control 
and other resiliency measures to protect against the increasing 
threat of wildfires.
    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 Nation's economic growth and 
international competitiveness.
    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. 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, 2023....................................    $218,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     221,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     221,000,000

    The Committee recommends $221,000,000 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 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. The Congress 
has invested in this program and expects to see progress.
    Permit Application Backlogs.--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. The Corps is directed 
to provide a report within 90 days of enactment of this act on 
staffing levels and permit backlogs in each of the last 5 
years, as well as a plan for rectifying the staffing shortages. 
The Corps is also directed to brief the Committee on the 
results of the report upon completion.
    Shellfish Permitting.--The Committee recognizes the strain 
of resources on the Corps to review and certify permitting 
applications for Nationwide 48 permits for State specific 
aquaculture activities. The Corps is directed to address 
staffing shortages and reduce aquaculture permit application 
backlogs, particularly in the Northwestern division. The Corps 
is directed to brief the Committee no later than 45 days of 
enactment of this act on the plan and progress of these 
efforts.

            FORMERLY UTILIZED SITES REMEDIAL ACTION PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $400,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     200,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     400,000,000

    The Committee recommends $400,000,000 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 cost and time 
effective cleanup.

                 FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $35,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      40,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      35,000,000

    The Committee recommends $35,000,000 for Flood Control and 
Coastal Emergencies.

                                EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2023....................................    $215,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     212,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     212,000,000

    The Committee recommends $212,000,000 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. The Committee encourages the Corps to 
pursue updating the 2011 U.S. Army Manpower Analysis Agency 
staffing analysis based on current Civil Works needs.

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

Appropriations, 2023....................................      $5,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................       6,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       5,000,000

    The Committee recommends $5,000,000 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, 2023....................................      $7,200,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................       7,200,000

                       DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                CENTRAL UTAH PROJECT COMPLETION ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2023....................................     $23,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................      19,556,000
Committee recommendation................................      19,556,000

    The Committee recommends $19,556,000 for the Central Utah 
Project Completion Account, which includes $4,650,000 for the 
Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Account for use by 
the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission, 
$1,750,000 for necessary expenses of the Secretary of the 
Interior, and up to $1,990,000 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 $1,921,799,000 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 2024 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.

                         COLUMBIA RIVER TREATY

    The Committee appreciates the work of the Corps, 
Reclamation, and the Bonneville Power Administration, in 
coordination with the Department of State, on the Columbia 
River Treaty, and notes that the Department of State continues 
to negotiate the Columbia River Treaty with Canada. The Corps, 
Reclamation, and the Bonneville Power Administration are 
directed to brief the Committee, in a classified setting and in 
coordination with the Department of State, no later than 60 
days after enactment of this act on the execution plan for a 
modernized agreement, including matters relating to flood 
control operations, power generation, and ecosystem 
restoration, as applicable.

                   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.

                           DROUGHT RESILIENCY

    The Committee remains intently focused on the need for 
improving drought resiliency as well as finding opportunities 
for agencies to combine water supply benefits with other 
mission priorities. The impacts of the current severe drought 
in the west demonstrate there is more work to be done. The 
Committee continues to invest in the drought resiliency 
programs authorized in the WIIN Act and believes a solution to 
these chronic droughts is a combination of additional storage, 
substantial investments in desalination and recycling, improved 
conveyance, and increased efficiencies in the uses of water 
both for agriculture and potable purposes. As the West has 
consistently been the fastest growing part of the country, it 
is incumbent on Reclamation to lead the way in increasing the 
water that is available from year to year and to incentivize 
more efficient use of the water that is available.

                         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.

                              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................
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Anadromous Fish Screen Program.--The Committee appreciates 
Reclamation's efforts to devote additional resources to 
completing work on the last two remaining priority unscreened 
diversions on the Sacramento River, which have been 
specifically identified as priorities in the California Natural 
Resources Agency Sacramento Valley Salmon Resiliency Strategy. 
Of the funding recommended for Fish Passage and Fish Screens at 
least $6,000,000 shall be for the Anadromous Fish Screen 
Program.
    Aging Infrastructure Program.--The Committee does not 
support allowing increases or decreases in transfer amounts at 
this time. The Committee is aware that the application 
requirements for receiving IIJA funding from this account can 
be cumbersome and delay funding for projects with multiple 
beneficiaries. The Committee is concerned that these 
requirements are creating unnecessary barriers for important 
infrastructure projects in a time of unprecedented drought in 
the west. The Committee directs Reclamation to remove 
unnecessary barriers streamlining the process while ensuring 
the repayment obligations of all funding recipients of this 
account.
    Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program.--The Committee 
recommends an additional $5,500,000 for studies or projects 
that will develop alternative pumping sites in a location to 
produce multiple benefits including dewatering of river 
segments, improved water quality, and reliable water delivery.
    B.F. Sisk Dam.--The Committee is aware of seismic issues at 
B.F. Sisk Dam and supports Reclamation's safety of dams 
modification project to remediate this reservoir. Reclamation 
is directed to work collaboratively with the State of 
California to finalize a cost share agreement for the project 
that accounts for the State of California's in-kind 
contributions (including contributions elsewhere in the State) 
and credits; and to work to ensure the B.F. Sisk Dam Safety of 
Dams Modification project can move forward as expeditiously as 
possible.
    Colorado River Basin Report.--A train derailment along the 
Colorado River could have significant impacts on the beneficial 
uses of the river, the water itself, and the ecosystem. 
Reclamation understanding and preparing for such an event is 
critical. Of the additional funding recommended under the 
heading ``Water Conservation and Delivery'', $300,000 shall be 
for a report on the potential impacts on water resources from a 
derailment of a train transporting hazardous material along the 
Colorado River.
    Colorado River Basin Collaboration.--The Committee 
understands growing water-thrifty crops in the Colorado River 
Basin could, if voluntarily planted by Basin farmers, help keep 
agricultural lands in production and support rural economies 
while adjusting to diminishing water supplies from the Colorado 
River. The Committee directs Reclamation to provide a briefing 
within 30 days of enactment of this act on the ability to 
partner with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to fund 
research and provide technical support for this effort. The 
briefing should identify existing authorities that could be 
used and recommend additional authorities that would be 
required.
    Columbia Basin Project.--The Committee is aware that the 
Odessa Ground Water Replacement Program within the Columbia 
Basin Project delivers surface water to the Odessa Subarea but 
the Subarea groundwater is being withdrawn at a rate beyond the 
aquifer's capacity to recharge. 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.
    Drought Contingency Plans.--The Committee commends 
Reclamation, the Department of the Interior, and the seven 
Colorado River Basin States for completing drought contingency 
plans to conserve water and reduce risks from ongoing drought 
for the Upper and Lower Colorado River basins. The completion 
of these plans marks a major milestone in protecting a critical 
water source in the western United States. The Committee 
encourages Reclamation to provide sufficient funding for 
activities that support these plans.
    Dry-Redwater, Montana.--The Committee strongly encourages 
Reclamation to engage with the Dry-Redwater Regional Water 
Authority to complete the feasibility study for the project 
authorized in Public Law 116-260 by the end of 2023.
    Friant-Kern Canal, San Luis Canal, Delta Mendota Canal.--Of 
the additional funding recommended for planning, 
preconstruction, or construction activities of critical 
Reclamation canals, at least $5,000,000 shall be for the 
Friant-Kern Canal, San Luis Canal, and Delta Mendota Canal.
    Garrison Diversion Unit.--The Committee directs Reclamation 
to brief the Committee within 45 days of enactment of this act 
on how Reclamation accounts for costs related to compliance 
with the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 under Public Law 89-
108, as modified by the Dakota Water Resources Act of 2000.
    Ground Based Cloud Ionization.--The Committee understands 
Reclamation is currently investing in winter-season orographic 
cloud-seeding research and pilot activities in Colorado and the 
lower Colorado Basin Region. The Committee strongly encourages 
Reclamation to continue these pilots and look for opportunities 
to expand these efforts.
    Groundwater Recharge, Aquifer Storage, and Water 
Substitution.--Section 40910 of the IIJA allows Reclamation to 
provide financial and technical assistance for groundwater 
recharge, aquifer storage and recovery, and water substitution 
for aquifer protection projects. This assistance could help 
communities throughout the West better tackle water storage and 
conservation challenges by helping communities get innovative 
projects off the ground. The Committee reminds Reclamation that 
these activities are eligible for the additional funding 
recommended.
    Klamath A Canal.--The Committee is aware of the emergent 
situation regarding seepage from the A Canal that appears to be 
contributing to flooding in the local community. While the 
Klamath Irrigation District has worked to identify temporary 
fixes, Reclamation's expertise is needed to quickly rectify and 
repair the immediate damage. Reclamation is directed to 
evaluate if the current situation constitutes an emergency and 
report the result to the Committee. Further, the Committee 
understands the difficulty that repeated low water years has 
placed on the Klamath Irrigation District, particularly how it 
affects the ability to modernize infrastructure. Reclamation is 
strongly encouraged to identify ways to provide non-
reimbursable financial support for modernization efforts for 
irrigation districts without stable funding streams due to 
persistent, prolonged drought.
    Klamath Basin Project.--The Committee encourages 
Reclamation to continue to collaborate on agreements with State 
agencies to support groundwater monitoring efforts in the 
Klamath Basin. 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.
    Research and Development: Desalination and Water 
Purification Program.--Of the funding recommended for this 
program, $12,000,000 shall be for desalination projects as 
authorized in section 4009(a) of Public Law 114-322. Congress 
also invested significant funds for desalination projects in 
the IIJA yet administrative project cost caps can disadvantage 
larger state of the art projects. The Committee understands 
that as part of the implementation of the IIJA, funding 
modifications to the current standards have been considered. In 
line with those efforts Reclamation shall not impose 
administrative project cost caps and shall use the statutory 
limit of 25 percent Federal cost share for section 4009(a) 
projects.
    Research and Development: Science & Technology Program.--
Better snow modeling and estimates of snow water may improve 
water resource decision-making, specifically for water 
allocations and flood control. Within the Science and 
Technology Program, $5,000,000 shall be for Reclamation's 
Airborne Snow Observatory [ASO] Program to support 
implementation of ASO flights. An additional $1,500,000 shall 
be to support the U.S. Department of Agriculture and NOAA 
efforts to improve real-time and derived snow water information 
such that it can be immediately used for water resources 
decision-making.
    Rural Water Projects.--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.
    Salton Sea.--The Committee supports the Memorandum of 
Understanding signed between the Department of the Interior and 
the California Natural Resources Agency to support management 
activities at the Salton Sea. The Committee is pleased 
Reclamation recently committed funding from the Inflation 
Reduction Act to assist with Salton Sea mitigation. It is 
critical that Reclamation continues to fund research and 
development projects to support current and future efforts to 
reduce the likelihood of severe health and environmental 
impacts. The Committee encourages Reclamation to include 
adequate funding for the Salton Sea in future budget requests 
and reminds Reclamation additional work is eligible for 
additional funding recommended in this account.
    San Joaquin River Restoration.--Permanent appropriations, 
available for the program in fiscal year 2024, 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 study and design rehabilitation options for the St. 
Mary's Diversion and Headworks and the Fresno Dam, and 
encourages Reclamation to complete this work as expeditiously 
as possible.
    WaterSMART Program.--The Committee encourages Reclamation 
to prioritize environmental water resource projects and 
eligible water conservation projects that will provide water 
supplies to meet the needs of threatened and endangered 
species.
    WaterSMART Program: Open Evapotranspiration System.--The 
Committee is intrigued by the evapotranspiration in the Central 
Valley and California Delta to help measure how much water is 
consumed by crops and other plants. Reclamation is encouraged 
to utilize the Open Evapotranspiration system designed to 
provide real-time and historical evapotranspiration 
information, primarily on irrigated crop lands. Reclamation is 
directed to provide to the Committee not later than 90 days 
after enactment of this act a briefing on the potential 
application of this system to Reclamation missions.
    WaterSMART Program: Outreach.--Reclamation is strongly 
encouraged to conduct additional outreach on opportunities 
within the WaterSMART program. Specifically, Reclamation is 
encouraged to conduct outreach in all non-contiguous States and 
territories because of the unique water challenges in Hawaii, 
Alaska, and Puerto Rico, as well as American Samoa, Guam, the 
Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 
Additionally, Reclamation is encouraged to conduct specific 
outreach for the Cooperative Watershed Management program and 
prioritize program investments in rural, historically 
underserved, and Tribal communities, as these regions can have 
less capacity to develop multi-benefit watershed projects. 
Reclamation is directed to take additional steps to make the 
program more accessible, including offering funding 
opportunities more than once per year and streamlining the 
application process.
    WaterSMART Program: Title XVI Water Reclamation & Reuse 
Program.--Of the funding recommended for this program, not less 
than $20,000,000 shall be for water recycling and reuse 
projects as authorized in section 4009(c) of the WIIN Act.
    W.C. Austin Project.--The Committee encourages Reclamation 
to expeditiously reimburse the Lugert-Altus Irrigation District 
for expenses related to extraordinary maintenance for ongoing 
design work on the gate replacement project per section 5944 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 
(Public Law 117-263).
    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'', $134,000,000 shall 
        be for water storage projects as authorized in section 
        4007 of the WIIN Act.
  --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,'' not less than 
        $20,000,000, shall be for planning, preconstruction, or 
        construction activities related to projects found to be 
        feasible by the Secretary and which are ready to 
        initiate for the repair of critical Reclamation canals 
        where operational conveyance capacity has been 
        seriously impaired by factors such as age or land 
        subsidence, especially those that would imminently 
        jeopardize Reclamation's ability to meet water delivery 
        obligations.
  --Of the additional funding recommended under the heading 
        ``Environmental Restoration or Compliance'', not less 
        than $20,000,000 shall be for activities authorized 
        under sections 4001 and 4010 of the WIIN Act or as set 
        forth in Federal-State plans for restoring threatened 
        and endangered fish species affected by the operation 
        of Reclamation's water projects.

                               TITLE III

                          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;

                   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 2023 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

    The Committee recommends no funds for the planning and 
construction of a new national laboratory.

                         WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

    Workforce Development.--The Committee recognizes the need 
to ensure that our Nation has a ready, capable workforce both 
for today and the next generation to meet changing energy 
demands and safeguard our National nuclear security. The 
Department has a long history in and unique opportunity of 
training and supporting the science, technology, engineering, 
and mathematics workforce. The fiscal year 2020 Act directed 
the Department to provide a report that includes an inventory 
of workforce development and readiness programs supported 
throughout the Department. The inventory was required to 
include current programs, past programs over the past 10 years, 
and recommendations for the Department to improve or expand its 
workforce development efforts. The report was required to 
include specific recommendations addressing workforce readiness 
to meet the Department's nuclear security missions. The 
Committee is still awaiting this report and directs the 
Department to provide the report immediately.
    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

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, and 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 Committee is alarmed by the findings of the Government 
Accountability Office's [GAO] recent report that identified 
significant problems with the Department's Insider Threat 
Program. The Committee recognizes that the Department and NNSA 
have many competing priorities; however, ensuring that the 
agency is guarding against insider threats is important. To 
better understand how DOE is planning to address these 
concerns, the Department is directed to provide the Committee 
with the Department's annual reports to the Secretary of Energy 
on the agency's Insider Threat Program-including any 
information on the resources needed to maintain and support the 
program within 30 days of issuance of each report. The 
Committee also directs the Department to provide a briefing to 
the Committee within 90 days of the issuance of each report. 
The briefings shall include information on actions the 
Department is taking to address recommendations from GAO and 
other entities to improve the program.

                            NATIONAL STUDIES

    The Committee is concerned that the Department of Energy is 
not including Hawaii and Alaska in national needs studies or 
resource mapping and assessments. The Committee notes this 
results in an increasing data gap between Alaska and Hawaii and 
the rest of the United States. If the Department publishes a 
study that is national in scope but fails to include all 50 
States, the Department is directed to provide an explanation 
of: (1) why certain States were not included; (2) what steps 
the Department is taking to ensure that all States are included 
in subsequent versions of the study; and (3) what resources or 
authorities the Department requires if the Department was 
unable to include all 50 States in the study.

                        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 establish and 
maintain 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.
    Grid Modernization.--The Department shall brief the 
Committee not later than 90 days after enactment of this act on 
the revised Grid Modernization Initiative strategy, plans to 
reflect new decarbonization targets in strategy enhancements, 
the funding profiles, portfolio of funding opportunities, 
programmatic investments for the Initiative, and the roles and 
responsibilities of each participating program office. Further, 
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.
    Carbon Dioxide Removal.--The recommendation provides not 
less than $155,732,000 for research, development, and 
demonstration of carbon dioxide removal technologies, including 
not less than $22,000,000 from the Office of Energy Efficiency 
and Renewable Energy [EERE], not less than $66,000,000 from 
Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management [FECM], and not 
less than $67,000,000 from the Office of Science.
    The Committee recommends $20,000,000 to continue a 
competitive purchasing pilot program that the Secretary was 
directed to establish in the fiscal year 2023 Energy and Water 
joint explanatory statement, consistent with Division D of 
Public Law 117-328, for the purchase of carbon dioxide removed 
from the atmosphere or upper hydrosphere. The Department is 
encouraged to make purchases through the pilot program that 
supports approaches such as those included in Section 5001, 
Division Z of Public Law 116-260, and to emphasize methods that 
minimize removal reversibility and maximize storage duration. 
Within 180 days of enactment of this act, the Department is 
directed to provide a report to the Committee on the progress 
of the competitive purchasing pilot program.
    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 Minerals Initiative. The 
Committee encourages the Department to work with other relevant 
Federal departments and agencies to increase domestic critical

    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 & 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 & 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
    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 provides not less than $570,000,000 for 
energy storage, including not less than $330,000,000 from EERE, 
not less than $84,000,000 from the Office of Electricity [OE], 
not less than $5,000,000 from FECM, not less than $21,000,000 
from NE, and not less than $123,000,000 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.
    The recommendation provides not less than $361,000,000 to 
further the research, development, testing, and demonstration 
of innovative technologies and solutions for low- or no-
emission alternative fuels for ongoing efforts to develop 
technologies and low carbon fuels that will reduce emission in 
shipping, aviation, agricultural, and long distance 
transportation. This funding level includes not less than 
$285,000,000 from EERE, not less than $33,250,000 from FECM, 
not less than $33,250,000 from the OE, and not less than 
$9,500,000 from the Office of Science.
    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 recommendation provides not less than $390,000,000 for 
the Hydrogen crosscut, including not less than $205,000,000 
from EERE, not less than $121,000,000 from FECM, not less than 
$21,000,000 from NE, and not less than $47,000,000 from the 
Office of Science.
    The recommendation provides 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.
    Further, the Department is encouraged to engage on codes 
and standards for fast-developing fuel cell and hydrogen 
markets such as heavy-duty trucks, aviation, maritime, 
locomotives, transportation of hydrogen by rail, and other 
areas as needed.
    The Committee instructs the Department to support updates 
to Argonne National Laboratory's Greenhouse gases, Regulated 
Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies, also known as the 
GREET model, including updating model defaults to match the 
best available science and data for consistency in modelling 
life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions; 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.
    Transformers.--Currently, the power sector is experiencing 
long manufacturer lead-times to fulfill orders of distribution 
transformers. It has been reported that lead-times to fulfill 
orders for utilities are up to over 2 years compared to 2 to 4 
months in 2019. This delay risks reliability, resilience, 
national security and defense readiness, and affordability of 
the electric grid due to the critical role of this equipment.
    The recommendation includes further funding to enhance the 
domestic supply chain for the manufacture of transformers and 
electric grid components derived from unobligated advanced 
emergency appropriations funding.
    Further, the Committee is concerned about the Proposed 
Rulemaking (88 Federal Register 1722): Energy Conservation 
Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Distribution 
Transformers and its effect on materials that could go into the 
development of transformers and manufacturers ability to meet 
growing demand. The Department is directed to recognize the 
national security implications of changing the manufacturing 
process on critical grid components and to work with relevant 
stakeholders in developing future efficiency standards for 
distribution transformers. The Department is further directed 
to respond to Congressional and outside stakeholders regarding 
their comments on this proposed rule. The Department is further 
directed to report to the Committee within 30 days of passage 
of this act, regarding the status of this proposed rule and how 
it will address these concerns.
    Battery Grants.--The Committee is concerned about reports 
that the Department of Energy is attempting to include 
additional requirements that were not mandated in the 
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for projects that have 
been selected to negotiate a Battery Manufacturing and 
Recycling or a Battery Materials Processing award. The 
Committee encourages the Department to proceed expeditiously in 
negotiations to finalize awards without further delay due to 
requirements not mandated by law.

            Industrial Emissions and Technology Coordination

Appropriations, 2023....................................................
Budget estimate, 2024...................................................
Committee recommendation................................      $3,500,000

    The recommendation provides a separate appropriation for 
Industrial Emissions Coordination. The Department is directed 
to coordinate 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. Further, 
within 180 days of enactment of this act the Department is 
directed to develop a Department-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 Department-wide MYPP 
will incorporate any plans or strategies as directed in 
previous congressional language.
    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 has grown 
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 is directed to align, 
simplify, and consolidate these coordination mechanisms into 
one function, so the resulting coordination mechanism includes 
clear leadership, articulates the roles and responsibilities of 
each participating program office, and plays a leading role in 
budget formulation and execution across program offices. The 
Department is directed to provide to the Committee not later 
than 90 days after enactment of this act a briefing on how 
these coordination mechanisms will achieve these goals and 
become institutionalized. Further, the Department is directed 
to include in future budget requests funding breakdowns by 
account and subprogram for each of the crosscutting 
initiatives. For this purpose, the crosscutting initiatives 
shall include: carbon dioxide removal, energy storage, 
hydrogen, critical minerals and materials, industrial 
decarbonization, agriculture, electricity sector, 
transportation sector, and buildings sector.

communities. Within available funds, the Committee recommends 
up to $10,000,000 to support stakeholder engagement and 
capacity building through the regional project partner 
organizations in the ETIPP Island, Remote Community Stakeholder 
Engagement Regional Project Partners, and the ETI Energy 
Transitions Playbook to support cross-region collaboration and 
the design, planning, and implementation of viable energy 
transition projects within their respective regions.
    Additionally, the Committee encourages the Department to 
work with Regional Partners to support technical assistance 
recipient communities across cohorts, prior to and following 
the technical assistance engagements, to create continuity 
across Federal investments. To facilitate continued improvement 
of this initiative, the Department is directed to: (1) develop 
a plan to expedite the implementation of projects developed by 
communities under the guidance and support of the ETIPP 
program; (2) develop a plan to provide support and technical 
assistance to communities and regional partners around the 
future of projects developed and finalized by ETIPP 
communities; and (3) develop written guidance for wrap-around 
support provided by the lab consortium and regional partner 
network to support projects through financing processes and 
potential final project implementation. The plans and guidance 
outlined above shall be briefed to the Committee no later than 
180 days after enactment of this act.
    The Committee recognizes the importance of EERE efforts to 
ensure that clean energy technologies provide jobs and benefits 
to a diverse range of communities across the Nation. The 
Committee encourages offices across EERE to more effectively 
coordinate approaches to ensure maximum impact for 
stakeholders, while reducing unnecessary burdens for 
historically disadvantaged communities.

    Within available funds, the Committee recommends up to 
$35,000,000 with a 50 percent industry cost-share to continue 
the SuperTruck III program and further address the energy 
efficiency, CO2 reduction potential, and freight 
efficiency of heavy and medium duty long and regional haul 
vehicles, including Class-8 long haul trucks and associated 
charging infrastructure.
    Vehicle Technologies.--The Committee recommends 
$455,000,000 for Vehicle Technologies.
    The Committee recommends $250,000,000 for Battery and 
Electrification Technologies. The Committee recognizes the 
increasing domestic manufacturing opportunities for electric 
battery production for vehicles. The Committee also recognizes 
the challenges associated with domestically sourcing 
necessarily minerals for battery production. The Committee 
encourages the Department to work to expand domestic 
manufacturing opportunities for electric vehicle batteries and 
to further address consumer barriers to adoption, including 
work with academic institutions that have demonstrated strong 
connections and support for regional energy storage industries.
    The Committee strongly encourages the Department's efforts 
in the development of advanced materials and technologies in 
support of next-generation lithium-ion batteries in direct 
support of the Vehicle Technologies Office's applied battery 
research.
    The Committee provides up to $15,000,000 for the Battery 
Recycling Retail Initiative. Within available funds, the 
Committee provides up to $5,000,000 for store retrofits to meet 
new California fire standards for battery recycling, to be 
administered to recipients of the Battery Recycling Retail 
Initiative. The Department is directed to brief the Committee 
on the volume of battery material feedstock necessary to 
support the Department's investments in battery recycling 
facilities and ways to offset the cost to consumers and 
retailers gathering feedstock at retail locations.
    The Committee directs the Department to continue to support 
the Clean Cities program, which supports the Nation's Clean 
Cities Coalitions' work to deliver lower air emissions and meet 
customer needs with vehicles powered by biofuels, electricity, 
hydrogen, natural gas, renewable natural gas, propane, and 
renewable propane. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends not less than $65,000,000 for deployment through the 
Clean Cities program, including not less than $20,000,000 with 
the Clean Cities Coalitions and not less than $40,000,000 for 
competitive grants to support alternative fuel, infrastructure, 
new mobility, and vehicle deployment activities. When issuing

Committee recommendation................................     892,000,000

    The Committee recommends $892,000,000 for Fossil Energy 
Research and Development. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends $79,000,000 for program direction.
    Additional direction related to Department-wide 
crosscutting initiatives is provided under the heading 
Crosscutting Initiatives in the front matter of the Department 
of Energy.
    The Committee continues to support the budget request, 
which refocuses funding toward industrial emission reduction 
and climate-centric activities focused on decarbonization. The 
Department is encouraged to prioritize Carbon Capture 
Utilization and Storage [CCUS] funding on projects and research 
that look to reduce the cost of these technologies for 
commercial deployment.
    The Propane Education and Research Act [PERA] of 1996 
authorized the establishment of the Propane Education and 
Research Council [PERC], which is known as a Federal ``checkoff 
program'' designed to support R&D for the propane industry. 
PERA authorizes the propane industry to collect a fee 
(currently $.005) on every gallon of propane sold in the U.S. 
and spend the majority of funds on research and development. 
The Committee is concerned to learn that PERC was potentially 
spending larger amounts of its funding for ``consumer education 
activities'', including on anti-electrification campaigns in 
New York State. The Committee directs the Department to do a 
review of this program and whether it is following its 
underlying statutory authorities and report to the Committee 
not later than 30 days after enactment of this act on its 
findings.

recommendation provides not less than $94,000,000 for the 
research, development, and demonstration of solid oxide fuel 
cell systems and hydrogen production, transportation, storage, 
and use. Further, the Committee encourages studies to assess 
solutions to decrease potential NOx emissions from the direct 
combustion of hydrogen in natural gas fired power plants. These 
studies shall be conducted through both laboratory and in-field 
testing, in geographically diverse areas, and should include 
participation by electric power research organizations, 
universities, national labs, environmental organizations, and 
utilities. The Committee recognizes the importance of advancing 
solid oxide fuel cell systems, especially for distributed and 
central power generation electrolysis, combined heat and power, 
and storage applications.

    The Committee supports the continuation of the Energy 
Department's Cooperative Agreements to develop cost sharing 
partnerships to conduct basic, fundamental, and applied 
research that assist industry in developing, deploying, and 
commercializing efficient, low-carbon, nonpolluting energy 
technologies that could compete effectively in meeting 
requirements for clean fuels, chemical feedstocks, electricity, 
and water resources.

                     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.
    National Carbon Capture Center.--The Committee recommends

consistent with the cooperative agreement. The Department is 
directed to use funds within Carbon Management Technologies for 
research and development across a broad range of technology and 
fuel applications as it determines to be merited.
    The Department is directed to conduct CCUS activities, 
including front-end engineering and design studies, large pilot 
projects, and demonstration projects that capture and securely 
store commercial volumes of carbon dioxide from power plants, 
industrial facilities, or directly from the air consistent with 
the objectives of title IV of the Energy Act of 2020.
    In order to mitigate the detrimental effects of climate 
change and to meet net-zero goals, it is necessary to 
accelerate the use of methods for carbon removal and storage, 
including the use and management of natural systems to 
sequester carbon and to store it permanently underground via 
mineralization processes. The Department is directed to 
establish a program to support research and development of 
novel, proof-of-principle carbon containment projects with the 
goal of finding and de-risking methods and locations to remove 
atmospheric carbon dioxide that are effective, safe, low cost, 
and scalable. The recommendation provides up to $35,000,000 to 
support work at multiple sites to pursue research, development, 
and deployment of carbon containment technologies, including 
carbon mineralization, and proximate carbon dioxide capturing 
systems that also meet regional economic and ecological 
restoration policy goals such as catastrophic wildfire 
mitigation and job creation.
    The Committee recognizes the benefits of a clear regulatory 
process for ocean carbon dioxide removal pathways and provides 
$250,000 to coordinate with the Council on Environmental 
Quality [Council] to develop a regulatory framework report that 
provides clarity and guidance of existing laws and regulations 
that are relevant for the advancement of ocean carbon dioxide 
removal pathways. The Department and the Council are encouraged 
to collaborate with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the 
U.S. Coast Guard, the Environmental Protection Agency, Fish and 
Wildlife Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration, and other relevant agencies to coordinate

The Committee is encouraged by OCED's preliminary plan to 
conduct administrative and project management responsibilities 
for technology demonstrations and is directed to continue to 
provide the Committee quarterly briefings on these efforts. 
Further, it is expected that the Department avoid the practice 
of making awards dependent on funding from future years.
    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 Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations prioritize 
technology demonstrations in high-emitting and historically 
difficult-to-abate U.S. energy sectors.
    With available funds, the Committee recommends the 
Department, through the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, 
continue to demonstrate hydrogen end uses for transportation, 
including hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine production 
and advanced hydrogen fueling solutions. Further, the 
Department is encouraged to improve the engine efficiency and 
power density of hydrogen fueled transportation solutions and 
fueling station technologies in order to cover a wide range of 
applications and be a drop-in solution replacement for many of 
today's diesel applications.
    The Committee expects that the Department will make 
selections for award negotiation by the end of the calendar 
year 2023 to support the timely development of Regional Clean 
Hydrogen Hubs.

Committee recommendation................................................

    The Committee recommends $70,000,000 in administrative 
expenses for the Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program.
    The Committee is aware that Congress has twice supported 
authorizing loan guarantees for eligible projects under 15 
U.S.C. 720(n)f. The Department has sufficient existing 
authorities to carry out this statute. Therefore, the 
Department is required to provide this Committee, no later than 
90 days after this bill is signed into law, 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.
    Energy Infrastructure Refinancing.--The Committee 
emphasizes that the Energy Infrastructure Reinvestment program 
has two distinct uses: 1) to enable operating energy 
infrastructure to avoid, reduce, utilize, or sequester air 
pollutants or anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and 
2) to retool, repower, repurpose, or replace energy 
infrastructure that has ceased operations. The Committee 
directs the Department to give full and fair consideration and 
support to both types of projects in a fuel- and technology-
neutral manner, including proposals to add emissions controls 
to operating coal and natural gas power plants when such 
proposals meet the requirements of the Energy Infrastructure 
Reinvestment program, sections 1702 and 1706 of the Energy 
Policy Act of 2005, as amended.

    The Committee recommends $6,300,000 for the Tribal Energy 
Loan Guarantee Program.
    Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee Program, the Committee 
recommends up to $500,000 per loan application for a total 
funding request of $5,000,000, to carry out financial and 
technical assessments, 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, 2023....................................     $75,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................     110,050,000
Committee recommendation................................      75,000,000

    The Committee recommends $75,000,000 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.
    The Committee supports the budget request to provide 
financing options to help provide power to Tribal homes that 
current lack electricity. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends up to $45,000,000 to advance technical assistance, 
demonstration, and deployment of clean energy for households 
and communities in Tribal nations to improve reliability, 
resilience, and alleviate energy poverty. The Department is 
encouraged to prioritize households and communities that lack 
connection to the electric grid. The Department is encouraged 
to collaborate with the Office of EERE, including the Solar 
Energy Technologies Office, and the Office of Electricity in 
issuing these funds.
    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.
    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 Lab 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 
energy projects and providing support for energy planning.

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.
    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

                    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.
    Although NNSA today views its mission as driven by military 
requirements and near-term schedules, it is equally important 
that the agency be a trusted and good steward of taxpayer 
dollars. Too often, NNSA has over-promised, over-spent, and 
under-delivered on its important commitments, such as pit 
production. It is therefore imperative that NNSA maintain its 
focus on improving its management of projects and programs. The 
Government Accountability Office [GAO] has made numerous 
recommendations to NNSA to improve management of its projects 
and programs. As of May 2023, GAO considers 60 recommendations 
it has made to NNSA as open. Although most are more recent, 
some of these recommendations have remained open since 2015. 
NNSA is directed to provide to the Committee not later than 60 
days after enactment of this act, and quarterly thereafter, 
briefings on the status and progress of GAO's open 
recommendations to NNSA. NNSA is directed to use GAO's Open 
Recommendations Database as the basis for these briefings to 
ensure the agency addresses all recommendations GAO considers 
open. As part of the quarterly briefings, NNSA shall provide 
information on the actions NNSA has taken or plans to take to 
address each open recommendation, timeframes for completion, 
and any barriers to implementing the recommendation. NNSA may 
choose to provide information about recommendations where GAO 
and the agency have differences of opinion on their status.
    GAO reported in March 2020 that NNSA's Uranium Processing 
Facility [UPF] at the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12) was 
on schedule and budget-construction to be complete in 2025 and 
cost no more than $6.5 billion. It also reported NNSA had 
identified over $800,000,000 through 2026 in Uranium 
Modernization program costs. In the fiscal year 2024 budget 
request, NNSA now says costs have increased by over 
$2,000,000,000 and the project completion date has slipped 4 
years to 2029. GAO shall update its 2020 report and focus on: 
the identified cause(s) of UPF cost growth and schedule 
slippage; corrective actions to address these cost and schedule 
problems; the impact of these cost and schedule problems on 
underway and planned weapons modernization efforts; and the 
scope, cost, and schedule of activities funded by the Uranium 
Modernization program through the currently proposed Future 
Years Nuclear Security Program (Fiscal Years 2024-2028). GAO is 
directed to provide to the Committee not later than 90 days 
after enactment of this act an initial briefing on its 
assessments.
    NNSA frequently cites the urgent, requirements-driven 
nature of the cost, scope, and schedule of its program of 
record, particularly for its weapons and infrastructure 
programs. The Committee understands that requirements come in 
many forms. Requirements may come from: the President; the 
military through the joint DOE-DOD Nuclear Weapons Council; 
statute and regulations; agency policies; and international 
standards, treaties, and agreements. But not all of these 
myriad requirements are created or treated equally. Some 
``requirements'' appear to be remarkably flexible and subject 
to change. Requirements, writ large, may be a convenient 
blanket phrase for NNSA as it justifies its ever-increasing 
budget and efforts to trim schedules by reducing or eliminating 
important analytical and management controls. However, the 
ever-increasing emphasis on requirements, which then are often 
not met, belies the agency's insistence that it is meeting its 
mission. For example, the Committee notes that a succession of 
national lab Directors and U.S. Strategic Command [STRATCOM] 
Commanders have attested for over two decades that the U.S 
nuclear stockpile remains safe, secure, and effective. As such, 
the blanket requirements phrase, devoid of further explanation, 
has little meaning to the Committee, especially as the agency's 
projects' and programs' costs and schedules continue to 
experience growth and delays. The Committee must know what are 
the crucial priorities needed to sustain the stockpile in to 
the future and see evidence that these are held firm from a 
program or project's baseline through its completion. To 
provide additional context and justification, NNSA is directed 
to provide to the Committee not later than 60 days after 
enactment of this act a report including the following 
information: the types of 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 may not 
obligate more than 80 percent of the funds provided until it 
submits this information to the Committee.

                           PROJECT MANAGEMENT

    The Committee notes NNSA's inability to properly estimate 
costs and timelines for large projects. The 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 the NNSA to identify problems in cost and schedule 
estimates early, and provide updated information to the 
Committee immediately. NNSA is reminded that the Antideficiency 
Act prohibits Federal agencies from obligating or expending 
Federal funds in advance or excess of appropriation. The 
Committee also reminds NNSA to remain within appropriated 
levels when spending funds in advance of appropriations or 
reprogrammings.

                           Weapons Activities

Appropriations, 2023.................................... $17,116,119,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................  18,832,947,000
Committee recommendation................................  18,832,947,000

    The Committee recommends $18,832,947,000 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 notes progress in 
developing the scope for establishment of the Center of 
Excellence regarding lifetime extension and materials 
degradation issues, including its expansion to the entire 
nuclear security enterprise. 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 and 
Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
    Streamlining Construction of Non-Nuclear Facilities.--The 
Committee directs NNSA to evaluate the use of existing 
authorities, including capital lease, the quit claim deed 
process, and purchase, to streamline construction of non-
nuclear facilities. Further, the Committee directs NNSA to 
create no less than four pilot projects across multiples sites 
to maximize use of commercial standards to non-nuclear 
facilities. NNSA shall brief the Committee on Appropriations of 
both Houses of Congress on the proposed pilot projects within 
90 days of enactment of this act.

                          STOCKPILE MANAGEMENT

    Plutonium Pit Production.--The Committee believes that NNSA 
is not fully accounting for risk to schedule and cost for its 
two-site pit production strategy. The Committee previously 
directed, in the fiscal year 2023 Act, NNSA to provide a plan 
to establish a two-site Integrated Master Schedule covering the 
entirety of the work required to produce 80 pits per year and a 
timeline that NNSA has high confidence will achieve this 
critical requirement. NNSA is directed to provide this plan 
immediately after 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 in previous years, NNSA and the Department of Defense 
have stressed that the timeline for achieving 80 pits per year 
will extend beyond 2030. The Committee is yet to receive an 
updated contingency plan, as directed in the fiscal year 2023 
Act. NNSA is directed to provide the Committee on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress with an updated 
contingency plan, coordinated with the Department of Defense 
and based on current pit production timelines immediately after 
enactment of this act. Additionally, the Committee notes that 
independent assessment of plutonium pit production aging is an 
important component to a holistic approach to the pit 
production mission. The Committee directs NNSA to seek to enter 
into an agreement with the scientific advisory group known as 
JASON to conduct an assessment of the report entitled 
``Research Program Plan for Plutonium and Pit Aging.'' 
Published in September 2021. The assessment will: (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.
    High Explosives & Energetics.--The Committee notes the 
importance of the High Explosives and Energetics program, a 
necessary pillar for an effective and safe stockpile. However, 
the Committee is concerned by NNSA's decision to delay the HE 
Synthesis, Formulation, and Production facility [HESFP], as it 
had previously been described to the Committee as urgently 
essential. Additionally, it has come to the Committee's 
attention that NNSA intends to continue investing heavily in 
high explosives production capabilities at Naval Surface 
Warfare Center Indian Head Division [NSWC IHD]. Within 180 days 
of enactment, the Committee directs NNSA to provide a 
comprehensive roadmap, complete with schedule and budgetary 
estimates for its long-term approach to its high explosives and 
energetics strategy at Holston, NSWC IHD, and ultimately HESFP.

             STOCKPILE RESEARCH, TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING

    The Committee recommends $3,420,111,000 for Stockpile 
Research, Technology, and Engineering.
    Academic Programs.--The Committee recommends $152,271,000 
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 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, $10,000,000 is designated 
for the Tribal Colleges and Universities Partnership Program 
and $45,000,000 for the Minority Serving Institution 
Partnership Program.
    Inertial Confinement Fusion Ignition and High-Yield.--The 
Committee recommends $685,000,000 for the inertial confinement 
fusion ignition and high-yield campaign. Within available 
funds, not less than $410,000,000 for the National Ignition 
Facility, not less than $85,000,000 for the Z Facility, not 
less than $99,400,000 for the Omega laser facility, and not 
less than $30,000,000 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 $42,000,000 for target 
research, development, and fabrication to cost-effectively 
operate the NIF, Z, and OMEGA facilities.
    Advanced Simulation and Computing.--The Committee 
recommends $824,077,000 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 advanced 
computing technologies vital for continued U.S. world 
leadership in scientific discovery, national security, and 
economic well-being.

Appropriations, 2023....................................  $2,490,000,000
Budget estimate, 2024...................................   2,508,959,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,596,522,000

    The Committee recommends $2,596,522,000 for Defense Nuclear 
Nonproliferation.
    Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation 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. Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation helps protect our 
Nation from emerging and ever evolving threats.
    The Committee continues to support work to pack and ship 
material from Y-12 to a domestic commercial processor to 
produce limited quantities of HALEU.
    The Committee recognizes the challenges inherent in 
commercializing Molybdenum-99 production technologies and 
encourages a whole-of-government collaboration regarding the 
financial sustainability of domestic production of this medical 
isotope. The Committee therefore recommends $50,000,000 for 
Laboratory and Partnership Support to expedite the 
establishment of stable domestic sources of Molybdenum-99 
without the use of highly enriched uranium. These funds are 
recommended in order to extend and/or add funding to the 
cooperative agreements that were previously competitively-
awarded through a funding opportunity announcement. The 
additional funding shall be awarded through an internal 
competition.

       UNIVERSITY CONSORTIA FOR NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION RESEARCH

    The Department of Energy's three University Consortia for 
Nuclear Nonproliferation Research educate undergraduate and 
graduate students in specialized fields essential to sustaining 
the workforce in nonproliferation technology, while 
contributing research and development to the Department's 
nuclear complex. The Committee recognizes the importance of 
this program and fully funds these efforts within Defense 
Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development.

Management, and an estimate of the total cost and time to 
complete each site.
    Richland.--As a signatory to the Tri-Party Agreement, the 
Department is required to meet specific compliance milestones 
toward the cleanup of the Hanford site. Among other things, the 
Department committed to provide the funding necessary to enable 
full compliance with its cleanup milestones. The Committee 
recognizes that significant progress has been made at the 
Hanford site, but greater funding will be necessary to meet 
compliance milestones. In order to fund the Department's

provided for full engineering, procurement, and construction 
work on the High-Level Waste Treatment Facility, for design and 
engineering on the Pre-Treatment Facility, to ensure compliance 
with the 2016 Consent Decree and Tri-Party Agreement 
milestones, and to continue tank waste retrievals.
    Containment Ventilation Systems.--The Committee supports 
the Department's efforts to expand technology development and 
demonstration to address its long-term and technically complex 
cleanup challenges. Within the amount recommended, up to 
$7,000,000 is recommended for work on qualification, testing 
and research to advance the state-of-the-art containment 
ventilation systems.
    Program Direction.--The Committee recognizes the need to 
prepare the next generation of environmental management 
workforce and encourages the Department to continue mentoring, 
training, and recruiting the next generation of environmental 
management workforce.

    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 Commission is directed to provide to 
the Committee a report with detailed metrics to evaluate staff 
performance and productivity as a part of implementing its 
telework policy. In each successive year, the Commission shall 
provide to the Committee an analysis of how the staff is 
meeting those detailed metrics.
    Advanced Nuclear Reactor Regulatory Infrastructure.--The 
recommendation includes $34,200,000 for the development of 
regulatory infrastructure for advanced nuclear technologies, 
which is not subject to the Commission's general fee recovery 
collection requirements. The Committee encourages the 
Commission to incorporate nuclear safeguards and security 
requirements into its development of the advanced reactor 
regulatory infrastructure and to work with the Department of 
Energy, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and other 
groups in the formulation of its licensing requirements. 
Further, to facilitate the licensing of new reactors, not later 
than 90 days after enactment of this act, the Commission is 
directed to submit to Congress a report providing options on 
how to improve organizational management to review and advanced 
reactor license applications for first-of-a-kind nuclear 
reactors. The report shall review and assess the NRC's existing 
organizational structure and identify potential gaps in the 
current organizational licensing approach. The report shall 
also make recommendations to improve organizational management, 
such as establishing a dedicated review team with the 
leadership, expertise, capacity, and orientation to enable the 
issuance of a license in a timely, efficient, and safe manner.
    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.

NOTE.--Consistent with the funding recommended in the bill as an emergency requirement and as disaster relief in

  Deficit Control Act of 1985, the Committee anticipates that the Budget Committee will provide, at the
  appropriate time, a 302(a) allocation for the Committee on Appropriations reflecting a net upward adjustment
  of $1,362,000,000 in budget authority plus the associated outlays.

         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
