These activities provide the scientific and technology basis for EPA’s regulatory actions. Superfund research costs are appropriated in the Hazardous Substance Superfund appropriation and transferred to this account to allow for proper accounting. A portion of funding provided through this account to support the mobile sources program is to be derived from fees charged for motor vehicle engine certifications that are deposited in the Environmental Services special fund. This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the Agency’s five goals. Specifically in 2008, our emphasis will be placed on the following: Clean Air and Global Climate Change.—To protect and improve the air so it is healthy to breathe and to reduce risks to human health and the environment, EPA will conduct a range of science and technology activities. These include research on criteria air pollutants (ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and lead) to develop the scientific basis for EPA’s national ambient air quality standards. EPA also will support research on the effects to human health of toxic air pollutants as well as risk assessment methodologies. EPA will develop and implement regulatory programs that will significantly reduce emissions from highway and non-road sources. EPA will implement the renewable fuels provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–79). In addition, EPA will develop tools for state and local governments to use in developing clean air plans to achieve air quality standards. The Agency aims to improve indoor environments through the provision of technical support and analysis to understand indoor air effects and the identification of potential health risks. The Agency will continue to work with the U.S. automobile industry to further the development of advanced automotive technologies. This effort will focus on developing cost-effective, near-term technologies for cleaner and more efficient cars and trucks that can run on both conventional and renewable fuels. Clean and Safe Water.—To ensure drinking water is safe, restore and maintain oceans, protect watersheds and their aquatic ecosystems, support economic and recreational activities, and provide healthy habitat for fish, plants, and wildlife, EPA will conduct research to support development of water quality and safe drinking water standards. A concerted effort will be made to help small communities meet the new drinking water standards for arsenic, microbial contaminants, and disinfection byproducts. EPA will work with States, tribes, drinking water and wastewater utilities, and other partners to enhance the security of water utilities. In 2008, EPA will continue the Water Security Initiative, a standardized, costeffective approach that the water sector can implement to provide for coordinated surveillance and monitoring of drinking water systems. The Water Security Initiative will provide early warning of key threat agents. The last of the Water Security Initiative pilot systems will begin operations. Interim guidance issued in 2007 for design and consequence management will be refined to incorporate learning from the new pilot systems. Additionally, EPA will provide outreach and technical support to all water utilities serving greater than 100,000 people, including support for utility participation in emergency response exercises. EPA will also conduct research on effective beach evaluation tools, and work to enhance understanding of the structure and function of aquatic systems through the development of improved aquatic ecocriteria. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Land Preservation and Restoration.—To preserve and restore the land, EPA will conduct research to provide improved methods for site characterization, risk assessment and exposure analysis, and mitigation approaches as well as multimedia modeling, technical reports and site-specific technical support. Research will advance EPAs ability to accurately characterize the risks posed by contaminated sediments and determine the range and scientific foundation for remedy selection options. Groundwater research will focus on the transport of contaminants in that medium and the subsequent intrusion of contaminant vapors. Healthy Communities and Ecosystems.—To adequately protect or restore the health of communities and ecosystems using integrated and comprehensive approaches and partnerships, the Agency will conduct research in the areas of human health, ecosystems, mercury, global change, pesticides and toxics, endocrine disruptors, computational toxicology, nanotechnology and Homeland Security. The Agency also ensures a safe food supply by reviewing and licensing pesticides. Strong science allows the identification of the most important sources of risk to human health and the environment as well as the best means to detect, abate, and avoid possible environmental problems, and thereby guides EPAs priorities, policies, and deployment of resources. Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.—To improve environmental performance through compliance with environmental requirements, preventing pollution, and promoting environmental stewardship, and to protect human health and the environment by encouraging innovation and providing incentives for governments, businesses, and the public that promote environmental stewardship, EPA will conduct research on socioeconomics, decision making, sustainability, and new technology development. This research includes activities to encourage and support innovation and work with partners and stakeholders to effectively transfer technologies to the private sector for commercialization. The National Enforcement Investigations Center is the primary source of forensics expertise in EPA. It provides technical services not available elsewhere to support the needs of EPA Headquarters and Regional offices, other Federal agencies, and state and local environmental enforcement organizations. Enabling and Support Programs.—Enabling and Support Programs provide the people, facilities and systems necessary to operate the programs funded by the Science and Technology appropriations (S&T). The offices and the functions they perform are: Administration and Resources Management (facilities infrastructure and operations) and Environmental Information (IT/data management). 31.0 41.0 Equipment .................................................................

This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each of the Agency’s five goals. Specifically in 2008, EPA will emphasize the following: Clean Air and Global Climate Change.—To ensure that every American community has safe and healthy air to breathe, EPA will apply a variety of approaches and appropriate tools. EPA will develop and implement strategies to attain ambient air quality standards for ozone and particulate matter and reduce regional haze through regional approaches where significant transport of pollutants occurs. EPA will continue to develop and issue national technology-based and riskbased standards to reduce the quantity of toxic air pollutants emitted from industrial and manufacturing processes, as well as from urban sources. EPA will also develop control measures for mobile and stationary sources that are best regulated at the Federal level. The Acid Rain program will continue its market-based approach to achieving reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides primarily from electric utilities. The market-based approach will also be used in other programs, such as implementation of the Clean Air Interstate Rule, to reduce emissions. EPA will continue to develop and implement voluntary outreach and partnership programs about indoor air quality to reduce potential risks to the public in homes, schools, and workplaces. Through these voluntary programs, EPA will disseminate information and work with State, tribal, and local governments; industry and professional groups; and the public to reduce exposures to possibly harmful indoor air pollutants, including radon. In addition, EPA will develop and promulgate standards, regulations and guidelines to reduce exposure from radiation sources. EPA will continue its domestic and international efforts to limit the production and use of ozone-depleting substances and develop safe alternative compounds under the Montreal Protocol. EPA also will continue its partnerships with businesses and other sectors to help reduce greenhouse gas intensity and contribute to cleaner air. In general, the voluntary government-industry partnership programs are designed to capitalize on the opportunities that consumers, businesses, and organizations have for making sound investments in efficient equipment, policies, practices, and transportation choices. EPA will continue to coordinate the implementation of the Methane-to-Markets initiative, which is designed to expand global efforts to capture and use methane as a clean alternative energy source. The Agency will also participate with other agencies in the AsiaPacific Partnership on Clean Development and Climate to help expand global efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Clean and Safe Water.—To provide the American public with water that is clean and safe to drink, EPA will focus on several key strategies. EPA’s strategy for helping systems provide safe drinking water over the next several years includes developing or revising drinking water standards, supporting States, Tribes, and water systems in implementing standards, promoting sustainable management of water infrastructure, and protecting sources of drinking water from contamination. To better address the complexity of the remaining water quality challenges, EPA will promote local watershed approaches to achieving the best and most cost-effective solutions to local and regional water problems. EPA will facilitate the ecosystem-scale protection and restoration of natural areas by supporting continuing efforts of all 28 National Estuary Program estuaries to implement their Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans to protect and restore estuarine resources. EPA will continue support for ecosystem management and partnership collaboration through the three Great Waterbody programs—Great Lakes, Chesapeake Bay, and Gulf of Mexico. To protect and build on the gains of the past, EPA will focus on its core water programs. To maximize the impact of each dollar, EPA will continue to strengthen its vital partnerships with States, Tribes, local governments, and other parties that are also working toward the common goal of improving the Nation’s waters. To leverage progress through innovation, EPA will promote water quality trading, water efficiency, and other market based approaches. EPA will help States implement nationally consistent water quality monitoring programs which will eventually allow the Agency to make a credible national assessment of water quality. High quality, current monitoring data is critical for EPA, States, and others to: make watershed-based decisions; develop necessary water quality standards and total maximum daily loads; and accurately and consistently portray conditions and trends. Land Preservation and Restoration.—To preserve and restore the land, EPA will use the most effective waste management and cleanup methods available. EPA will reduce adverse affects to land by reducing waste generation at its source, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY recycling waste, managing waste effectively by preventing spills and releases of toxic materials, and cleaning up contaminated properties. To reduce waste generation and increase recycling, EPA will (1) establish and expand partnerships with businesses, industries, Tribes, States, communities and consumers; (2) stimulate infrastructure development and environmentally responsible behavior by product manufacturers, users and disposers; and (3) help businesses, government, institutions and consumers reduce waste generation and increase recycling through education, outreach, training and technical assistance. EPA will continue the Resource Conservation Challenge (RCC) as a major national effort to find flexible, yet more protective ways to conserve our valuable natural resources through waste reduction, energy recovery, and recycling. Recognizing that some hazardous wastes cannot be completely eliminated or recycled, EPA will work to reduce the risks of exposure to hazardous wastes by maintaining a cradle-to-grave approach to waste management. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 contains numerous provisions that significantly affect Federal and State underground storage tank (UST) programs. The Energy Act requires that EPA and States strengthen tank release and prevention programs. In 2008, EPA will continue to focus attention on the need to bring all UST systems into compliance and keep them in compliance with the release detection and release prevention requirements. EPA’s cleanup programs have set a national goal of returning formerly contaminated sites to longterm, sustainable and productive use. This goal creates greater impetus for selecting and implementing remedies that, in addition to providing clear environmental benefits, will support future land use and provide greater economic and social benefits. To further accomplish the national cleanup goals, the Agency will forge partnerships and develop outreach and educational strategies. Healthy Communities and Ecosystems.—To protect, sustain or restore the health of people, communities and ecosystems, EPA will focus on geographic areas with human and ecological communities at most risk. EPA is working to protect, sustain, and restore the health of natural habitats and ecosystems by identifying and evaluating problem areas, developing tools, and improving community capacity to address problems. For example, the President’s Budget provides $6 million for the Chesapeake Bay Small Watersheds Grant program to implement innovative and cost-effective nonpoint source projects, which reduce nutrient discharges to the Bay. The Budget will also provide $1 million for restoration work in Puget Sound. The Puget Sound program will help fund critical nonpoint source and habitat restoration work. To ensure that the foods the American public eats will be free from unsafe levels of pesticide residues, EPA will apply strict health-based standards to the registration of pesticides for use on food or animal feed and ensure that older pesticides meet current health standards. EPA will also work to expedite and increase the registration of safer pesticides and to decrease the use of pesticides with the highest potential to cause adverse effects. EPA intends to reduce potential human and environmental risks from commercial and residential exposure to pesticides through programs that focus on farmworker protection, endangered species protection, environmental stewardship, and integrated pest management. EPA plans to encourage the development of safer chemicals by minimizing or reducing the regulatory burdens on new chemicals that replace more hazardous chemicals already in the marketplace. The toxicity of wastes will be reduced by focusing on reductions in persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic chemicals. The Agency will also support the operations and management of the Brownfields program including training for organizations representing co-implementers of the Brownfields law and technical support for communities using Federal Funds—Continued 951 federal funding to address general issues of vacant properties and infrastructure decisions. The United States will coordinate with other nations in multilateral efforts to protect the environment and human health. EPA will continue to promote formal bilateral and multilateral environmental agreements with key countries, execute environmental components of key foreign policy initiatives, and engage in regional and global negotiations aimed at reducing potential environmental risks via formal and informal agreements. EPA will continue to cooperate with other countries to ensure that domestic and international environmental laws, policies, and priorities are recognized and implemented and, where appropriate, promoted within the multilateral development assistance and trading system. The unprecedented changes in information technology over the past few years, combined with public demand for information, are altering the way the Agency and States collect, manage, analyze, use, secure, and provide access to quality environmental information. EPA is working with the States and Tribes to strengthen our information quality, leverage information maintained by other government organizations, and develop new tools that provide the public with simultaneous access to multiple data sets, allowing users to understand local, State, regional, and national environmental conditions. Key to achieving information quality will be the further development of the National Environmental Information Exchange Network, which is primarily an affiliation between EPA and the States and Tribes. EPA will continue to develop and define an approach to integrating, managing, and providing access to environmental information. EPA will continue to reduce reporting burden, improve data quality, and accelerate data publications by accelerating the replacement of paperbased submissions with electronic reporting under the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.—EPA will ensure full compliance with laws intended to protect human health and the environment. The Agency will use new and innovative approaches for compliance assistance and compliance incentives, as well as traditional enforcement activities, to promote compliance by the regulated community; set riskbased compliance and enforcement priorities; and strategically plan and target activities to address environmental problems associated with industry sectors and communities. Preventing pollution at the source is the Agency’s preferred strategy for reducing risk and minimizing environmental impacts. The EPA works closely with industry to build pollution prevention into the design of manufacturing processes and products; and also partners with States, Tribes, and governments at all levels to find simple, voluntary, and cost-effective pollution prevention solutions. Through waste minimization partnerships, the Agency will reduce the volume of hazardous chemicals in industrial waste streams and the volume of waste generated. Enabling and Support Programs.—Enabling and Support Programs (ESPs) provide centralized management services and support to the Agency’s various environmental programs. The offices and the functions they perform within the Environmental Programs and Management appropriation are: the Offices of Administration and Resources Management (facilities infrastructure and operations, acquisition management, human resources management services and management of financial assistance grants/IAGs); Environmental Information (exchange network, information security, IT/data management); the Administrator (administrative law, civil rights/ Title VI compliance, congressional, intergovernmental and external relations, regional science and technology, science advisory board); the Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning, annual planning and budgeting, financial services, financial management, analysis, and accountability); and, General Counsel (alternative dispute resolution, legal advice). Since 952 THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 Federal Funds—Continued ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS AND 23.90 23.95 MANAGEMENT—Continued these centralized services provide support across the Agency, resources for the ESPs are allocated across the Agency’s appropriations, goals and objectives.

However, EPA faces difficulties in getting States, which receive over 38 percent of EPA’s budget, to report consistent, meaningful performance information. To address this issue, EPA will develop standardized templates for State grants that all States will use to submit their State grant agreements, including Performance Partnerships. The new template will clearly link to EPA’s strategic plan, reducing or eliminating the need to translate State workplan information into EPA’s strategic and annual goals. This action will increase accountability and make it easier to compare and analyze performance data over time and across States. Clean Air and Global Climate Change.—To ensure that every American community has safe and healthy air to breathe, EPA will offer media-specific and multi-media Performance Partnership grants, and technical assistance to States and Tribes. This financial and technical aid will assist them in the development of their Clean Air Plans and support solutions that address local air needs. EPA will provide funds to States under section 105 of the Clean Air Act to improve air monitoring networks to obtain better data on emissions of particulate matter, ozone, air toxics, and regional haze. EPA will also provide funds to implement the clean diesel grant provisions of Title VII, Subtitle G of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–79). Preference for these competitive grants will be given to applicants in areas that have not attained National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Clean and Safe Water.—This Agency goal is to ensure people are provided clean and safe water to drink. In support of this goal, EPA will provide capitalization grants for Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs). The SRFs make low interest loans to communities and includes a set-aside for Tribes and Alaska Native Villages to construct wastewater treatment infrastructure, in addition to other projects that enhance water quality. As of early 2006, the Federal Government has invested more than $23 billion in grants to help capitalize the 51 SRFs. With the required State match, additional State contributions, and funds from program leveraging, funds made available for such loans total approxi- 954 THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 Federal Funds—Continued STATE AND TRIBAL ASSISTANCE GRANTS—Continued (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS OF FUNDS)—Continued mately $55 billion. EPA’s goal is for the Clean Water SRFs to attain an average long-term revolving level of $3.4 billion annually. Capitalization grants are also provided for the Drinking Water SRFs, which make low interest loans to public water systems and to Tribes and Alaska Native Villages to upgrade drinking water infrastructure to help them provide safe drinking water. The Administration committed to capitalizing the Drinking Water SRF through 2018, with the goal of an average annual long-term revolving level of $1.2 billion. Direct grants are also provided to help address the significant water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Alaska Native Villages. To address concerns identified in program reviews, the Agency is developing grant regulations for more transparent oversight of 100 percent of grant funds. EPA will support its partnerships with States and Tribes through media-specific and multi-media, and/or Performance Partnership grants to: (1) increase the number of community drinking water systems that meet all existing health-based standards, (2) protect watersheds by reducing point and nonpoint source pollution, (3) decrease the net loss of wetlands, and (4) address agricultural and urban runoff and storm water. EPA will work with its State and Tribal partners to develop and implement broad-based and integrated monitoring and assessment programs that strengthen their water quality standards, improve decision-making, target restoration within the watershed, address significant stressors, and report on condition. Land Preservation and Restoration.—Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), EPA provides grants to States to strengthen their ability to implement hazardous waste programs. EPA also provides financial and technical assistance to eligible tribal governments and inter-tribal consortia. In 2008, EPA will provide grants or cooperative agreements for new activities authorized by Title XV, Subtitle B of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 that are not otherwise provided for in Section 2007 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA). There will also be direct assistance through mediaspecific, and multimedia and/or Performance Partnership grants to enable Tribes to implement hazardous waste programs. Healthy Communities and Ecosystems.—This Agency goal is to protect and restore America’s water bodies, reduce exposure to lead, support brownfields projects, mitigate cross-border risks and provide quality environmental information. To protect, sustain or restore the health of people, communities and ecosystems, EPA will focus on geographic areas with human and ecological communities at most risk. EPA is working to protect, sustain, and restore the health of natural habitats and ecosystems by identifying and evaluating problem areas, developing tools, and improving community capacity to address problems. EPA will help contribute to the President’s goal of increasing wetlands through its innovative partner-based wetlands and stream corridor restoration programs. EPA will fund brownfields projects resulting in 1,000 assessments, paving the way for productive reuse of these properties and bringing the cumulative number of sites assessed to over 9,000. The Agency will provide direct grant assistance for water and wastewater infrastructure projects on the U.S.-Mexico border. EPA has met its NAFTA commitment to provide a total of $700 million for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure needs in the area. However, in recognition of the continuing environmental and public health needs in the border area, the budget continues funding for these activities while taking into account the program’s $300 million in unobligated balances. EPA plans to provide $13 million to States, territories, tribes, and inter-tribal consortia to help them develop their information management and technology capabilities. The purpose of this support is two-fold: to assist the Agency in providing ready access to real-time environmental information and to allow States to better integrate and share their environmental information. Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.—To promote compliance with laws intended to protect human health and the environment, EPA will offer media specific and multimedia funding to States and Tribes for compliance assurance activities including compliance assistance and incentives, inspections and enforcement activities. EPA also plans to offer media-specific and multimedia, and/or Performance Partnership grants to States and Tribes, focusing on pollution prevention.

This appropriation supports core Agency programs in four of the Agency’s five goals. Specifically in 2008, emphasis will be placed on the following: Land Preservation and Restoration.—To preserve and restore land and to protect human health and the environment, EPA will prevent and reduce the risks posed by releases of harmful substances and will clean up and restore contaminated sites to beneficial use. EPA will apply the most effective methods to control the risks of harmful substances, improve response capabilities, and maximize the effectiveness of response and cleanup actions. EPAs cleanup and response work at contaminated sites will address environmental problems, such as contaminated soil and groundwater, in order to reduce human exposures to hazardous pollutants and provide long-term human health protection. EPA will ensure that all releases of harmful substances to the environment are appropriately addressed by responding to incidents and providing technical support. To effectively prepare for and respond to incidents of national significance, EPA will improve decontamination readiness, establish a nationwide environmental laboratory network, and maintain a highly skilled, trained, and equipped response workforce. EPA will conduct research to improve methods and models and provide technical support to accelerate scientifically defensible and cost-effective decisions for cleanup at complex contaminated sites in accordance with CERCLA. EPA will also work to maximize responsible parties participation in site cleanups while promoting fairness in the enforcement process, and pursue greater recovery of EPA’s cleanup costs. To further carry out the responsibilities of CERCLA, EPA will also allocate funds from its appropriation to Federal agency partners. Compliance and Environmental Stewardship.—EPA will investigate and refer for prosecution criminal and civil violations of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980. Enabling and Support Programs.—Enabling and Support Programs (ESPs) provide centralized management services ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 959 Trust Funds—Continued and support to the Agency’s various environmental programs. The offices and the functions they perform within the Superfund appropriation are: the Offices of Administration and Resources Management (facilities infrastructure and operations, acquisition management, human resources management services and management of financial assistance grants/IAGs); Environmental Information (exchange network, information security, IT/data management); the Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning, annual planning and budgeting, financial services, financial management, analysis, and accountability) and General Counsel (alternative dispute resolution, legal advice). Because these centralized services provide support across the Agency, resources for the ESPs are allocated across the Agency’s appropriations, goals and objectives. 25.3 Other purchases of goods and services from Government accounts .................................................

Specifically in 2008, emphasis will be placed on the following: Land Preservation & Restoration.—The Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST) program promotes rapid and effective responses to releases from Federally-regulated underground storage tanks (USTs) containing petroleum by enhancing state, local, and Tribal enforcement and response capability. In 2008, EPA’s LUST Program priorities will continue to focus on increasing the efficiency of LUST cleanups nationwide; addressing contaminants of concern; and promoting the continued use, reuse, and long-term management of LUST sites. EPA will continue to help states and Tribes improve the LUST cleanup performance by targeting source water areas using a drinking water mapping application, continuing to develop and promote the use of innovative tools such as multi-site and geographical cleanup approaches, and optimizing the use of cleanup technologies and streamline cleanup decisions and processes. EPA also will continue its efforts to monitor the soundness of state cleanup funds and will continue to work with the states to complete cleanups and reduce the backlog of cleanups not yet completed. Enabling and Support Programs.—Enabling and Support Programs provide the infrastructure of people, facilities and systems necessary to operate the programs funded by the Leaking Underground Storage Tank appropriation. The offices and the functions they perform are: Administration and Resources Management (facilities instrastructure and operations, acquisition management, and human resources management services); Environmental Information (IT/data management); and, the Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning, annual planning and budgeting, financial services, financial management, analysis, and accountability). 85 86 84 86 69 73 ¥76 ¥71 ¥71 ¥9 ................... ................... 92.01 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, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, and the Energy Policy Act of 2005, 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 per gallon tax on motor fuels, which will expire after September 30, 2011. LUST funds are allocated to the states through cooperative agreements to clean up those sites posing the greatest threat to human health and the environment as authorized under Secton 9003(h) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA). Funds are also used for grants to non-state entities under section 8001 of the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act. Federally-recognized Indian Tribes receive grant funding under P.L. 105–276. EPA supports oversight, cleanup and enforcement programs which are implemented by the states. LUST Trust Fund dollars can be used for state-lead cleanups and for state oversight of responsible party cleanups. In addition, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 expanded the authorized activites for the underground storage tank program. H.R. 6111 recently amended section 9508 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to authorize expeditures from the Trust Fund for such activities. The program remains committed to completing 13,000 LUST cleanups, and continues to request funds only for cleanup purposes from the Trust Fund in 2008 in order to ensure a separate, dedicated source of cleanup funding. The Administration requests increased funding for preventative underground storage tank activities in the State and Tribal Grants account, while exploring options for funding those activities via the Trust Fund in 2009.

This appropriation provides for EPA’s responsibilities for prevention, preparedness, and response activities authorized under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), including activities under the Working Capital Fund. This appropriation supports core Agency programs and the Agency’s waste management goal. Specifically in 2008, emphasis will be placed on the following: Land Preservation and Restoration.—EPA will work to ensure that regulated facilities comply with the oil spill prevention, control and countermeasure provisions of the OPA. EPA will also direct response actions when appropriate. Funding of oil spill cleanup actions is provided through the Department of Homeland Security under the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. Oil spill research focuses on test protocol development, fate and transport modeling, and remediation. Enabling and Support Programs.—Enabling and Support Programs provide the infrastructure of people, facilities and systems necessary to operate the programs funded by the Oil Spill Response appropriation. The offices and the functions they perform are: Administration and Resources Management (facilities infrastructure and operations) and Environmental Information (IT/data management). 17 10 10.00 90.00 961 17 17 For fiscal year 2008, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 6303(1) and 6305(1), the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, in carrying out the Agency’s function to implement directly Federal environmental programs required or authorized by law in the absence of an acceptable tribal program, may award cooperative agreements to federally-recognized Indian Tribes or Intertribal consortia, if authorized by their member Tribes, to assist the Administrator in implementing Federal environmental programs for Indian Tribes required or authorized by law, except that no such cooperative agreements may be awarded from funds designated for state financial assistance agreements. The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency is authorized to collect and obligate pesticide registration service fees in accordance with section 33 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (as added by subsection (f)(2) of the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003), as amended. Notwithstanding other provisions of law, all grants issued under Title VII, Subtitle G of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, as amended, will be given only to eligible entities for projects in areas not in attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for a criteria air pollutant. Section 9005(c)(2) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act (42 U.S.C. 6991d(c)(2)) is amended by inserting after ‘‘as appropriate, shall’’, 962 ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS—Continued a subparagraph number ‘‘(A)’’; by deleting the period at the end and adding ‘‘; or’’; and by adding the following new subparagraph (B) at the end: ‘‘(B) implement an alternative inspection program as a component of an integrated underground storage tank enforcement program, as approved by EPA. Such a program shall require owners or operators of underground storage tanks to conduct an annual self-evaluation and certification of each underground storage tank, and shall require each state to annually conduct targeted and for cause inspections and a statistically valid number of random inspections.’’. None of the funds provided in this Act may be used, directly or through grants, to pay or to provide reimbursement for payment of the salary of a consultant (whether retained by the Federal Government or a grantee) at more than the daily equivalent of the rate paid for level IV of the Executive Schedule, unless specifically authorized by law.
