This appropriation provides funds for audit and investigative functions to identify and recommend corrective actions
on management and administrative deficiencies that create
the conditions for existing or potential instances of fraud,
waste, and mismanagement. Additional funds for audit and
investigative activities associated with the Superfund Trust
Fund and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust
Fund are appropriated under those accounts and transferred
to the Inspector General account to allow for proper accounting. Among the audit functions, contract audits review the
propriety and allowability of costs claimed or charged to EPA
by prime or subcontractors. The Inspector General also provides professional review and recommendations concerning
agency contracting practices, administration and changes
through all phases of the procurement process. Internal and
performance audits review and evaluate all facets of Agency
programs and operations, including the adequacy of management systems and controls. Financial audits review the
soundness and accuracy of the financial accounting and reporting systems. Grant audits focus on the effectiveness and
propriety of costs of individual projects. The investigations
function provides for the detection and investigation of improper and illegal activities involving programs, personnel
and operations, including grantees and contractors. The Inspector General also works with Agency management to promote economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and the prevention
of fraud and abuse.

Congress restructured EPA’s accounts beginning in 1996.
The 1996 and 1997 columns reflect this new structure, which
combines all resources from the Research and Development
(R&D) account, program office lab costs from the Abatement,
Control and Compliance account, and payroll and travel costs
for the Office of Research and Development and for the program office labs from the Program and Research Operations
account. In 1997 Superfund research costs are appropriated
in the Hazardous Substance Superfund appropriation and
transferred to this account to allow for proper accounting.
The 1995 column represents the previous account structure
and reflects only the old R&D account.
This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology, research and development activities including laboratory and center supplies, certain operating expenses (including activities under the Working Capital Fund, contracts),
grants, intergovernmental agreements, and purchases of scientific equipment. These activities provide the scientific and
technology basis for EPA’s regulatory actions.
Air.—Science and technology activities include research on:
toxic air pollutants and their effects; criteria air pollutants
to develop the basis for the national ambient air quality
standards; motor vehicle emissions; addressing the human
health risks associated with indoor air quality; the impacts
of global climate change; and stratospheric ozone depletion
and its effects. Includes program labs for emission measurement and vehicle emission standards. This program also conducts motor vehicle testing, for which user fees are collected.
Water Quality.—Science and technology will provide the scientific information and risk management approaches to help
protect coastal and marine waters, lakes and rivers, wetlands,
and related ecosystems. Programs evaluate contaminated
sediment, aquatic ecocriteria and non-point sources of pollution.
Drinking Water.—Science and technology includes evaluating the health effects of drinking water contaminants and
methods to prevent or reduce these contaminants in a costeffective manner. Primary emphasis is focused on contaminants as disinfectant and disinfection by-products and biological contaminants such as cryptosporidium, virus and selected
bacteria. Includes a program lab that supports development
and implementation of drinking water regulations.
Hazardous Waste.—Science and technology includes providing hazardous waste measurement methods and protocols, assessing the risk from exposure to hazardous wastes, conducting research on surface cleanup, bioremediation, pollution prevention, and ground water, and developing the necessary data
to revise and implement treatment, storage and disposal
standards and regulations.

Pesticides.—Science and technology activities will support
the pesticides program through efforts that include health
and environmental exposure studies, development of exposure
protocols, and health and environmental review of new chemicals and the impacts of chemicals on sensitive sub-populations. Includes program labs that study environmental and
analytical chemistry.
Radiation.—Program laboratories that support the environmental radiation ambient monitoring system and radon analytical and assessment services.
Multimedia.—Science and technology provide cross program
support for ecosystems protection (including environmental
monitoring and assessment), human exposure, risk assessment methods, health effects, pollution prevention, heavy
metals, and innovative technologies (including the Environmental Technology and Common Sense Initiatives). Exploratory research grants and centers, fellowships, technology
transfer, quality assurance and procurement of laboratory
equipment supplies and other operating expenses are also
included. Includes a program center which is the investigative
and technical support for EPA’s enforcement program.
Toxic Substances.—Activities support the development of
scientific and technological methods to understand, predict
and manage the entry and movement of chemicals in commerce and into the environment, and to determine the effects
of these chemicals on human health and the environment.
These activities include biotechnology research.
Management and Support.—Provides executive direction,
program planning, resource and facilities management.

Congress restructured EPA’s accounts beginning in 1996.
The 1996 and 1997 columns reflect this new structure, which
combines all Program and Research Operations payroll and
travel funds not moved to the new Science and Technology
account with Abatement Control and Compliance funds,
minus those state grants moved to the new State and Tribal
Assistance Grants account. The Environmental Programs and
Management 1995 column represents the previous account
structure and reflects only the Abatement Control and Compliance account.
This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement, control, and compliance activities and administrative
activities of the operating programs, including activities under
the Working Capital Fund.
Air.—The air program sets standards for: ambient air quality; emissions of hazardous and criteria air pollutants and
acid deposition precursors from stationary sources; motor vehicle emissions; prevention of significant deterioration of air
quality; and protection of the stratospheric ozone layer. EPA
will also be fulfilling its role in the President’s National Action Plan for Climate Change.
Water Quality.—The water quality program has as its goal
the protection and restoration of the Nation’s waters. The
program relies on a partnership between EPA and the States
to meet the goals of the Act. The program encompasses the
following major activities: (1) developing water quality standards; (2) establishing technology-based effluent limits for industrial discharges; (3) monitoring water quality and developing tools to assess programs and target efforts; (4) establishing a more fair, flexible and effective Federal Wetlands program to enhance State and local wetlands protection; (5) riskbased targeting of abatement activities to protect important
habitats and watersheds through geographic initiatives; (6)
issuing and enforcing requirements of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for industrial
and municipal sources, for which user fees will be collected
for all EPA issued permits; (7) managing the municipal
wastewater facilities completion/closeout of construction
grants, and managing the State Revolving Fund programs;
and, (8) managing water pollution control related state grants
under sections 104(b)(3), 106, and 319 of the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act.
Drinking Water.—The safe drinking water program protects
the Nation’s drinking water supplies from contaminants. This
involves: (1) setting national drinking water standards that
protect human health; (2) assisting States and Indian tribes
to implement, or directly implementing these regulatory programs; (3) targeting support for small drinking water systems;
and (4) directing the Agency’s activities to manage and improve ground water quality with emphasis on ground water
protection.
Hazardous Waste.—The hazardous waste program is designed to ensure that hazardous wastes are managed in a
manner that protects public health and the environment. The

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

program emphasizes delegation of authority to the States,
permitting of operating and closed facilities, enforcement of
hazardous waste regulations, and corrective action. State assumption of hazardous waste authorities will be encouraged
through regulations and guidance.
Pesticides.—EPA is responsible for protecting public health
and the environment from unreasonable pesticide risks, taking into account the economic, social, and environmental costs
and benefits from pesticide use. Major activities include: (1)
review and registration of pesticide products; (2) developing
and processing registration standards; (3) reregistration of
pesticides as required by the 1988 amendments to the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act; and, (4) developing guidelines to ensure the protection of pesticide workers,
as well as assisting in the development of State plans for
pesticide use that will protect ground water and endangered
species.
Radiation.—The radiation program develops and promulgates standards, regulations, and guidelines to reduce exposure from radiation sources. EPA will assess risks associated
with high levels of naturally occurring radon, certify radon
remediation contractors (for which a user fee will be collected), and provide technical assistance and guidance to
States on radon. Also, the Agency will carry out its responsibilities under the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Land Withdrawal and the Energy Policy Acts.
Multimedia.—The multimedia program is composed of several activities that cut across media programs. This involves:
(1) all technical and legal aspects of the Agency’s enforcement
efforts, including compliance assistance, inspections, investigations and judicial review; (2) review of environmental impact statements (EIS) on actions taken by Federal agencies;
(3) Federal agencies’ compliance with statutes and regulations
for pollution control; (4) the Regional funding of complex multimedia projects with significant State and local concerns due
to the high risk to human health and ecosystems; and (5)
the Agency’s support to increase the capability of native Indian tribes to manage environmental programs.
Toxic Substances.—The toxic substances program is responsible for protecting human health and the environment from
unreasonable risks posed by chemicals. The program places
a balanced emphasis on evaluation and control of new and
existing chemicals and the reduction of exposure through pollution prevention. Nonregulatory approaches to obtain compliance are used where appropriate. The program has developed
a comprehensive lead control strategy to examine the longterm efficacy of lead abatement, and to implement the requirements of Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. The Program also provides technical
assistance to implement various requirements of Title III of
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986
relating to chemical releases, and the Pollution Prevention
Act of 1990.
Management and Support.—Funds policy studies in the
management and support program.

instrumentality for the purpose of constructing secondary wastewater
treatment facilities to serve any locality that has both: (1) over
$2,000,000,000 in category I treatment needs documented and accepted
in EPA’s 1992 Needs Survey database as of February 4, 1993; and
(2) wastewater user charges for residential use of 7,000 gallons per
month based on the Ernst & Young National Water and Wastewater
1992 Rate Survey, greater than .65 percent of 1989 median household
income for the primary metropolitan statistical area as measured by
the Bureau of the Census, for which the Federal share of such grants
shall be 80 percent of the cost of construction and the non-Federal
share shall be 20 percent of the cost of construction, and for which
the State makes available to such grant recipient from State appropriations an additional amount equal to 20 percent of the cost of
construction for wastewater treatment for such locality: Provided, That
notwithstanding any other provision of law, if legislation is enacted
to establish a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, the Administrator may award to a State, from sums available under this heading
for State revolving funds, a single capitalization grant to support
both wastewater and drinking water revolving funds and may allow
the Governor of a State to transfer funds between the State’s
wastewater infrastructure and drinking water infrastructure State revolving funds to address high priority needs in the State, subject
to such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish:
Provided further, That notwithstanding any other provision of law,
beginning in fiscal year 1997 the Administrator may make grants
to States, from funds available for obligation in the State under Title
II of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act for administering the
completion and closeout of the State’s construction grants program,
based on a budget annually negotiated with the State: Provided further, That notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Administrator is authorized to make grants from funds appropriated under

STATE

AND

TRIBAL ASSISTANCE GRANTS

(Legislative proposal, not subject to PAYGO)

Congress restructured EPA’s accounts beginning in 1996.
The 1996 and 1997 columns reflect this new structure, which
combines those State grants moved from the Abatement, Control and Compliance account with the Water Infrastructure/
State Revolving Fund account. The State and Tribal Assistance Grants 1995 column represents the previous account
structure and reflects only the Water Infrastructure/State Revolving Fund account.
The 1997 appropriation provides the EPA Administrator
with the authority to allow States and Indian tribes to consolidate numerous existing media-specific (e.g., air, water) or
multimedia grants into one or more Performance Partnership
grants.
The Administrator is also provided with authority to allow
States, in effect, to consolidate the Clean Water and Drinking
Water State Revolving Funds into a Performance Partnership.
This appropriation provides funds for capitalization grants
to States for Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs), the
purpose of which is to make low interest loans to communities
to construct municipal wastewater treatment infrastructure.
Since 1989, the Federal government has invested approximately $11.5 billion in grants to help capitalize the 51 State
revolving funds. With required State match, additional State
contributions, and funds from program leveraging, funds
available for loans total approximately $16.3 billion.
In support of the U.S.-Mexico Border Environmental Plan,
funds are provided to address the serious environmental and
human health problems associated with untreated industrial
and municipal sewage along the U.S.-Mexico Border, including the impoverished colonias in Texas. Funds are also provided to help address the significant wastewater needs of
Alaska Native Villages and for U.S. cities that are facing
both exceptionally high capital needs and user charges.
Funds are provided, upon enactment of authorizing legislation, for capitalization grants to new Drinking Water State
Revolving Funds for the purpose of making low interest loans
to help municipalities comply with the Safe Drinking Water

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, authorizes appropriations from the general fund to finance activities conducted
through the Hazardous Substance Superfund. The authorization for general fund payments to the Superfund expired in
1995. The Administration will support an extension of this
authority as part of Superfund reauthorization.

A special fund was established for the deposit of fee receipts
associated with environmental programs, including radon
measurement proficiency ratings and training; motor vehicle
engine certifications; and water pollution permits. Receipts
in this special fund will be appropriated to the Science and
Technology, and the Environmental Programs and Management accounts to meet the expenses of the programs that
generate the receipts.
Legislation will be proposed to impose user fees on manufacturers of pesticides to recover the costs of EPA’s Pesticide
Registration Program. Congressional action is required to activate a user fee rule promulgated by EPA that was subsequently suspended by Congress. After enactment of the authorization, appropriations language will be transmitted.

EPA’s Working Capital Fund (WCF) was chosen as a pilot
franchise fund under P.L. 103–356, the Government Management and Reform Act of 1994. EPA’s WCF is a revolving
fund used to supply common administrative services on a
fee-for-service basis. As a result, the funding for the WCF

This appropriation provides funds for the implementation
of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities under the Working Capital Fund. This Act provides authority for responding to and cleaning up hazardous
substance emergencies and abandoned, uncontrolled hazardous waste sites.
Financial responsibility for the program is shared by the
Federal and State governments as well as industry. EPA will
allocate funds from its appropriation to other Federal agencies
to carry out the Act.
Risks to public health and the environment at uncontrolled
hazardous waste sites qualifying for EPA’s National Priorities
List (NPL) are reduced and addressed through a process involving site assessment and analysis, and the design and
implementation of cleanup remedies. Throughout this process,
cleanup activities may also be supported by shorter-term removal actions to reduce immediate risks. Removal actions
may include removing contaminated material from the site,
providing an alternative water supply to people living nearby,
and installing security measures. NPL cleanups and removals
are conducted and financed by EPA, private parties, or other
Federal agencies.
Through 1995, construction of cleanup remedies had been
completed at a total of 346 NPL sites and 4,271 removal
actions had been taken at 3,245 sites.

Personnel Summary

The Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust
Fund, authorized by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, as amended by the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990, provides funds for responding to
releases from leaking underground petroleum tanks, including
activities under the Working Capital Fund. The Trust Fund
is financed by a 0.1 cent a gallon tax on motor fuels, that
became effective January 1, 1987.
Funds are allocated to the States through cooperative
agreements to clean up those sites posing the greatest threat
to human health and environment. Funds are also used for
grants to non-state entities, including Indian Tribes, under
section 8001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
EPA supports cleanup and enforcement programs which are
implemented by the States.
Risks from releases at leaking underground petroleum
tanks are reduced and addressed by cleanup actions. To measure performance, the LUST program tracks the number of
cleanups completed, which includes all sites where the State
determines risks have been addressed through completed corrective actions. The complexity of cleanups is increasing due
to issues such as contaminated groundwater; therefore, cleanups will take longer and the number of cleanups completed
will slow in the near future. Cleanups are conducted by the
State or the responsible party. LUST Trust Fund dollars can
be used for State-lead cleanups and for State oversight of
responsible party cleanups.
