The core stewardship program supports Stockpile Stewardship by maintaining core competencies at the weapons laboratories, and through research on enhanced safety and reliability of the enduring stockpile, dismantlement techniques, waste minimization, and pollution prevention. In addition, the core stewardship program maintains the capability to execute an underground nuclear test if directed by the President. Research and development on inertial confinement fusion is also included and the transfer of nonsensitive Defense Programs’ funded technology to the private sector is promoted. The program also supports facility construction and maintenance for the nuclear weapons laboratories and the Nevada Test Site. Stockpile Management.—This activity provides for the maintenance of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, capabilities to modify or produce new weapons if required, lifetime surveillance of the stockpile, and retirement and disposal of weapons and weapon components. The program supports facility construction and maintenance for the nuclear weapons production plants. This program also supports the consolidation of nonnuclear manufacturing activities. The Stockpile Management program also supports activities that include maintenance of technical and operational capabilities for responding to nuclear/radiological accidents and incidents worldwide. A major initiative under the Stockpile Management program is the dual-track strategy for a new tritium source to provide tritium for the Nation’s enduring nuclear weapons stockpile. This program also provides for nuclear materials surveillance and technical support activities including safety and safeguards/security oversight activities for nuclear materials located at Defense Program sites and former Defense Program facilities. Weapons Program Direction.—This program provides personnel and contractual services for the Federal management, direction, and the administration of selected Defense Programs’ missions. The Secretary’s streamlining goals to reduce total staffing levels, improve supervisor/employee ratios, and reduce the number of organizational components are met within this program. 433 434 ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES—Continued Federal Funds—Continued THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997 22.00 22.10 General and special funds—Continued ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES—Continued WEAPONS ACTIVITIES—Continued 23.90 23.95 24.40 Object Classification (in millions of dollars) 1995 actual Identification code 89–0240–0–1–053 11.1 11.3 11.5 11.9 12.1 13.0 21.0 23.2 23.3 Direct obligations: Personnel compensation: Full-time permanent .............................................

The 1997 budget request will support the following major program areas: Environmental Restoration.—Provides for assessments, characterization, remediation, and decontamination and decommissioning at contaminated DOE facilities and sites. Various amounts and types of waste have accumulated at these facilities and sites as a result of past departmental activities spanning nearly five decades. Waste Management.—Provides for the safe, effective and efficient management of wastes generated by defense activities, through minimization, treatment, storage or disposal of various waste types including radioactive, hazardous, mixed or sanitary wastes in compliance with applicable local, State, and Federal requirements and internal Department of Energy requirements. Technology Development.—Provides for comprehensive applied research, development demonstration, testing and evaluation activities which will develop and apply more effective technologies for meeting the Department of Energy’s environmental management goals. Environmental Science Program.—Provides for the development of a long-term basic research program for environmental problems so that breakthrough approaches will lead to significantly reduced cleanup costs and risks to workers and the public; and to bridge the gap between broad fundamental research that has wide-ranging applicability such ATOMIC ENERGY DEFENSE ACTIVITIES—Continued Federal Funds—Continued DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY as that performed in DOE’s Office of Energy Research, and the needs-driven technology development that is conducted in EM’s Office of Technology Development. Nuclear Material and Facility Stabilization.—Directs the stabilization of surplus nuclear materials, the preparation of surplus nuclear materials for disposition, and the deactivation of surplus facilities. Site Operations.—Provides Headquarters policy direction for landlord planning and budgeting including reducing site infrastructure costs and managing workforce restructuring. Further, the Office of Site Operations manages the national Transportation Program and the national Pollution Prevention Program and provides leadership for crosscutting issues raised by the field and/or Headquarters, as well as serving as an advocate for the field at Headquarters. Policy and Management.—Provides funding for crosscutting functions such as public accountability, finance, safety and health, and strategic planning. EM Program Direction.—Provides salaries and benefits and other contractual support costs for full-time equivalents at Headquarters and in the field which support the Environmental Management Program. EM Privatization.—Provides up-front funding for DOE support of privatization of various DOE environmental management projects, such as one project to support commercial demonstrations of nuclear waste treatment facilities. These projects will demonstrate the financial and technical feasibility of private sector construction and operation of radioactive waste treatment facilities, through the use of commercial capital and technology in return for service fees to be paid by DOE for processing nuclear waste. This process is estimated to save 25% in life cycle costs over the traditional approach of designing, constructing and operating a government-owned facility. In addition, $182 million in budget authority is being requested as part of a Government-wide general provision for up-front funding of other privatization efforts. This funding is part of a Government-wide effort to improve planning and budgeting for projects of this type. The EM program has made significant progress in establishing a system for measuring and improving performance. The program has developed a strategic plan with six key objectives: (1) manage and eliminate urgent risks and threats in the DOE system; (2) provide a safe workplace; (3) change system to bring it into managerial and financial control; (4) increase outcome orientation; (5) focus the technology development program on DOE’s major environmental challenges; (6) develop strong partnerships between DOE and its stakeholders. As an integral part of reinventing DOE, the Environmental Management (EM) program has begun implementing changes in order to contribute $4.4 billion in outlay savings over a five-year period, beginning in FY 1996. The savings commitment will require substantial changes in the way the EM program is run. These savings will be achieved through: • Realizing significant increases in productivity and efficiency. • Working closely with EPA and State regulators to prioritize budgets at each site. • Reauthorizing Superfund, particularly the land-use provisions in the Administration’s Superfund proposal. 12.1 13.0 21.0 22.0 23.1 23.2 23.3 24.0 25.1 25.2 25.3 25.4 25.5 26.0 31.0 32.0 41.0 42.0 Civilian personnel benefits ............................................

Of the funds requested, $95M is for assistance to nations of the former Soviet Union for protection, control and accounting of nuclear materials. This key nonproliferation program is among the Administration’s highest priorities. Nuclear Safeguards and Security.—This activity provides for the development of measures to assure adequate and effective protection of nuclear weapons, nuclear materials, and facilities against theft, sabotage, espionage, and terrorist activity. Also included is the program which protects classified and unclassified sensitive information critical to the national security. Security Investigations.—This activity ensures that the common defense and the security of the United States will not be endangered by the granting of security clearances for personnel who, in the performance of their official duties, must have access to restricted data, national security information or special nuclear material, or who occupy a designated critical sensitive position. Emergency Management.—This activity provides a single point of contact and control for all Departmental emergency management and threat assessment related activities and ensures an integrated Departmental response to emergencies affecting Departmental operations and activities or requiring Departmental assistance. Nonproliferation and National Security Program Direction.—This program provides for the personnel and contractual services for all Federal management, direction, and administration required to carryout the Nonproliferation and National Security programs’ missions. Naval Reactors.—This program performs the design, development, and testing necessary to provide the Navy with safe, militarily effective nuclear propulsion plants in keeping with the Nation’s defense requirements. In 1994, the nuclear powered fleet steamed its 100 millionth mile on nuclear power employing high standards of safety which ensured the protection of the public and the environment. During 1997, the program expects to reach 4,700 cumulative reactor-years of safe operation, and will continue to support and improve operating reactors and plant components to further this record. In addition, the program will continue to develop nuclear reactor plant components/systems for the Navy’s new attack submarine, procure equipment needs for development and testing activities, and maintain or shutdown aging facilities as appropriate. In 1997, inactivation will continue on six of the program’s eight land based prototypes which have been or will be shut down. Environment, safety and health (Defense).—The Office of Environment, Safety and Health is a corporate resource that provides Departmental leadership and management to protect the workers, public, and environment. This is demonstrated by conducting independent oversight of the Department’s environment, safety, health, and safeguards and security programs; and by providing technical assistance, resources, and information sharing. The programs in the Other Defense Activities are Oversight, Health Studies, and Program Direction. The goal of these programs is to improve the performance and effectiveness of the Department’s workforce and contractor employees in matters related to environment, safety, health, and safeguards and security through: Worker and Community Transition.—In accordance with Section 3161 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 1993, DOE is responsible for mitigating the impact on workers and communities that results from reductions in the workforce at defense nuclear facilities. This program provides for the development and implementation of plans to provide options to assist workers affected by work force restructuring including preference in hiring, outplacement assistance, relocation assistance, and incentives for early retirement or separation. These plans also provide impact assistance to local communities for economic development. Fissile Materials Disposition.—The Fissile Materials Disposition Program is responsible for the Department’s technical and management activities to provide for the safe, secure, environmentally sound future storage of all weapons-usable fissile materials and the disposition of fissile materials declared surplus to national defense needs. Near term efforts involve designing and demonstrating an integrated system to disassemble plutonium weapons components and convert the plutonium to stable, inspectable forms suitable for long-term storage and disposition. In addition, the Program directs research and development and technical demonstrations of plutonium disposition technologies and the design phase for site-specific long-term storage configurations involving a coordinated approach to the Department’s inventory of weapons-usable fissile materials. Program efforts also include technical and industrial activities associated with the conversion of surplus weapons-usable highly enriched uranium to non-weapons usable low enriched uranium suitable for use in commercial power reactors. f DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Object Classification (in millions of dollars) 1995 actual Identification code 89–0243–0–1–053 11.1 11.3 11.5 11.9 12.1 13.0 21.0 23.2 25.1 25.2 25.3 Personnel compensation: Full-time permanent ..................................................

Research in 1997 will continue to focus on studies of known fundamental particle constituents, the search for new particle constituents, and the pursuit of a unified description of the four fundamental forces in nature. In addition to contributing to breakthrough discoveries such as the existence of the top quark, high energy physics research enhances national economic competitiveness. State-ofthe-art technology developed for accelerators and detectors contribute to progress in fields such as fast electronics, highspeed computing, superconducting magnet technology, and high-power radio frequency devices. High energy physics research also continues to make major contributions to accelerator technology and provides the expertise necessary for the expansion of such technology into fields such as medical diagnostics, and applied research using synchrotron light sources. The 1997 high energy physics budget request includes a $13.2 million increase over the 1996 enacted level. The proposed increase will support the continued operation of all three of the Department’s major high energy physics facilities: the Tevatron, the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC), and the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS). In addition, increases are provided for R&D related to U.S. participation in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project at CERN and fabrication of a new detector for the new B-Factory project at SLAC. The proposed increase is consistent with the recommendations of the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel expert subpanel that advised the Department on the appropriate future path for the Department’s high energy physics program in the wake of the cancellation of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) project in 1993. The high energy physics R&D request provides funding for advanced accelerator and detector R&D that is necessary for next-generation high energy particle accelerators. The high energy physics construction request provides for continuation of the new Main Injector ring at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the B-Factory upgrade at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). A total of $205 million in budget authority is being requested for the continued construction of the Main Injector ring and the B-Factory projects. Of this amount, $133 million is being requested as a part of this appropriation for the obligations to be incurred for the projects in 1997. An additional $72 million in budget authority is being requested as part of a Government-wide general provision in order to fully fund the completion of these projects. This additional amount is part of a Government-wide effort to improve planning and budgeting for the acquisition of fixed assets. Superconducting Super Collider.—The Department will continue the orderly termination of the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) in 1997, as directed by Congress in the 1994 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act. No additional funding for such activities is requested in 1997. Nuclear Physics.—The goal of the nuclear physics program is to understand the interactions and structure of atomic nuclei and to investigate fundamental particles and forces of nature as manifested in nuclear matter. In 1997, the program will continue to focus on the role of quarks in the composition and interactions of nuclei, the application of nuclear physics methods to astrophysical problems, the properties of neutrinos, and the mechanisms by which colliding nuclei exchange mass, energy, and angular momentum. The nuclear physics program supports and provides experimental equipment to qualified scientists and research groups THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997 conducting experiments at nuclear physics accelerator facilities. In addition, nuclear physics accelerators generate many of the radioisotopes used for medical diagnosis and treatments; support several cooperative programs in biomedical research and atomic physics; and provide training opportunities for health physicists concerned with radiation-effects on humans. The CEBAF experimental program began in FY 1996 and will continue in FY 1997 with the conduct of research in all three experimental halls. Experimental operations have also been initiated at the Radioactive Ion Beam facility in Oak Ridge National Laboratory and will continue in FY 1997. Operation of ATLAS (BNL), TAGS (BNL), and the 88-inch cyclotron (LBNL) will be supported, as will the operation of the university-based accelerator laboratories. A total of $207 million in budget authority is being requested for the continued construction of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven at the revised baseline cost and schedule. Of this amount, $76 million is being requested as a part of this appropriation for the obligations to be incurred for the project in 1997. An additional $131 million in budget authority is being requested as part of a Government-wide general provision in order to fully fund this project. This additional amount is part of a Government-wide effort to improve planning and budgeting for the acquisition of fixed assets. General science program direction.—Provides direction, management, and administrative support to high energy and nuclear physics programs within general science.

Included in this mission are basic and applied research and targeted programs in technology development and market deployment. This account provides funds for operating expenses, capital equipment and construction projects for the advancement of the various energy technologies under examination in the energy supply, research and development mission. Solar and renewable energy technology.—A strong, balanced program is proposed for FY 1997 that will contribute toward strengthening the Nation’s energy security, enhancing global sales of U.S. energy products, and increasing industrial competitiveness and federal technology transfer. Program activities range from basic cost-shared research in universities and national laboratories to applied research, development, and demonstration in full partnership with private sector manufacturers. The FY 1997 program continues to work in partnership with industry to develop and promote the use of solar energy. Specific goals or activities of solar energy programs include: (1) in photovoltaics: an industry-driven effort in research, production, engineering, and market development; (2) in solar buildings: a focus on cooperative industry and utility efforts to effectively use advanced solar technology for water heating; (3) in solar thermal: lowering the operating costs of existing trough systems and developing dish/Stirling and central receiver systems for commercial electric power generation; (4) in wind energy: developing and testing utility-grade wind turbines in collaboration with utilities and industry; and (5) in biofuels: continued R&D to achieve further reductions in biomass energy costs, and the biochemical conversion of biomass and feedstock development. In addition to these specific technologies, the FY 1997 Budget Request calls for taking advantage of the synergies between emerging biomass power technologies and new biomass liquid fuel technologies. These developments raise the prospect of profitable ‘‘energy crop’’ farming by rural Americans early in the next century, accompanied by improved rural economic development, increased environmental protection in both urban and rural areas, and new global market opportunities for power technology providers. The Solar Energy program also includes ongoing support for: (1) the interagency Committee on Renewable Commerce and Trade (CORECT), (2) commercialization and demonstration joint ventures, and (3) renewable energy, outreach information, and technical assistance programs. The Geothermal Energy program supports work with industry and the utility sector to reduce the life-cycle cost of producing electricity with geothermal resources. The Hydropower program addresses the primary environmental mitigation issues associated with licensing and sustaining hydropower production. The Electric Energy Systems program includes studies on health effects of electric and magnetic fields, and development of materials and devices employing advanced high temperature superconducting technology. Energy Storage is focused on battery energy storage for use by utilities. Production and storage of hydrogen is also supported at increased levels over FY 1996. In-house energy management.—This program had funded energy conservation retrofit projects at Department facilities. These projects were designed to improve the efficiency of DOE energy use and set an example for other Federal agencies and the private sector. For FY 1997, the program will focus on energy audits and economic analyses to support and encourage private sector third-party financing of improvements. Nuclear fission.—In 1997 the Civilian Reactor Development program places emphasis on the Light Water Reactor (LWR) program to ensure that nuclear energy continues to make a vital contribution to national energy security. This program 440 ENERGY PROGRAMS—Continued Federal Funds—Continued General and special funds—Continued ENERGY SUPPLY, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES— Continued will focus on making standardized advanced light water reactors available to assist in meeting the increased electrical capacity needs of the first decade of the next century. The program includes institutional and regulatory reform and supporting technology efforts. Cooperative programs with industry have the objective of ensuring that the designs developed are those of interest to utilities. The Advanced Radioisotope Power Systems program will continue to develop and produce nuclear power systems for use in U.S. space missions and in support of military and civilian applications. The University Nuclear Science and Reactor Support program will continue to provide educational and research grants to maintain a stable human resource base in the nuclear sciences. In cooperation with the Department of State and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Department is committed to improving the safety of nuclear power plants in Russia and the Ukraine. The focus of this activity is the comprehensive improvement in: safety culture, power plant operation and physical condition, and supporting infrastructure. This commitment is an element of the Administration’s policy of supporting former Soviet Nations as they move toward market economies, and will improve U.S. competitiveness. The Nuclear Security/Russian Production Reactor Shutdown program will ensure compliance with the U.S.-Russian 1994 agreement to cease production of weapons grade plutonium; support U.S. non-proliferation policies; address safety and nonproliferation concerns related to breeder reactors in countries of the former Soviet Union; and promote policies to reduce the need for reprocessing of nuclear fuel. The Isotope support decision unit will ensure adequate supplies of isotopes which are in the National interest. Environment, safety and health.—The Office of Environment, Safety and Health is a corporate resource that fosters Departmental excellence through innovative leadership in the protection of workers, the public, and the environment. This commitment to excellence will be demonstrated by striving for continuous improvement in developing meaningful programs and policies; conducting independent oversight of environment, safety, health and security performance; and providing technical assistance, resources and information sharing. The 1997 budget request for the Office of Environment, Safety and Health reflects these priorities. It is important to note that the budget request for the Office of Environment, Safety and Health programs is contained in two appropriations as follows: Energy Supply Research and Development.—Technical Assistance, Policy, National Environmental Policy Act program, Radiation Effects Research Foundation, Management and Administration, and Program Direction. Other Defense Activities.—Oversight, Health Studies and Program Direction. 1997 Goals for the Office of Environment, Safety and Health are: • Establish a standardized corporate independent oversight process within the Office of Environment, Safety and Health that is coordinated with field and program offices and provides a credible process for appraising the effectiveness of environment, safety, health, and safeguards and security programs. • Continue the quality, timely, efficient, and effective environment, safety and health technical assistance program that meets priority needs with higher customer satisfaction. • Continue an effective system of policies, requirements, guidance and technical standards that significantly increase protection of the environment and enhances public and worker safety and health. THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997 • Establish an integrated, state-of-the-art information management program that will: deliver information to the right customers in the right form at the right time; improve communications of lessons learned; and enhance environment, safety and health performance. • Continue process that encourages managers to use the National Environmental Policy Act in decision-making, builds public trust, and minimizes the cost and time for document preparation and review with no reduction in quality. • Implement a Department-wide business and budget planning process that: identifies environment, safety, and health vulnerabilities and reduces vulnerabilities; enables effective line program allocation of environment, safety, and health resources. Scientific and Engineering Training and Development.— This program provides for training, and professional development of technically trained professionals to staff and manage the Department’s technically complex programs and facilities. This will ensure that programs are in place to systematically analyze scientific and engineering job requirements, assess and identify the necessary technical qualifications and skills of each position and target training as appropriate, and provide a trained cadre from which the Secretary can fill the Department’s senior technical managerial positions with qualified executives. Biological and environmental research.—This program develops the knowledge base necessary to identify, understand, and anticipate the long-term health and environmental consequences of energy use and development and utilizes the Department’s unique scientific and technological capabilities to solve major scientific problems in the environment, medicine, and biology. Planned 1997 activities include programs in global climate change; terrestrial, atmospheric and marine environmental processes; molecular, cellular and systemic studies on the biological effects of radiation, including radon emissions; structural biology; and medical applications of nuclear technology and the Human Genome Program. Additional funding is provided to continue construction of the environmental and molecular sciences laboratory, and the human genome laboratory. Spill test facility.—Fulfilling the direction of Energy and Water Acts, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act, and the Clean Air Act Amendments, the overall goal is to conduct user-sponsored spill tests and mitigation responder training in support of plant and community safety and worker and community health associated with the handling, shipping and storage of hydrocarbons and related chemical industries’ materials with focused attention on liquefied gaseous fuels and other hazardous fluids. Within this goal, other Federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency conduct user-sponsored tests concerning airborne toxic substances to refine hazard concerns in programs designed in collaboration with the Department. Fusion Energy Sciences Program.—At the direction of the Congress, and with guidance from the National Academy of Sciences and the Department of Energy’s Fusion Energy Advisory Committee, the Fusion Energy Sciences Program will be significantly restructured in FY 1997. The newly restructured program will emphasize underlying basic research in plasma and fusion sciences, with the long-term goal of harnessing fusion as a viable energy source. The program centers on the following goals: 1) Advancement of plasma science in pursuit of national science and technology goals; 2) Development of fusion science, technology and plasma confinement innovations as the central theme of the domestic program; and 3) Participation in international fusion energy science and technology activities. The budget request of $256 million provides for increased basic research in plasma science, plasma containment re- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY search, and investigation of tokamak alternatives, along with continued operation of the three major U.S. experimental machines—DIII–D, Alcator C-Mod, and the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR). Unlike the President’s FY 1996 proposal, the FY 1997 budget proposes no funding for the Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX). The FY 1997 budget provides for continued U.S. participation in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Engineering and Design Activity, though at a lower level than the Administration proposed for FY 1996. ITER addresses the broad physics and engineering challenges that are generic to any next step toward the goal of fusion energy, and is also consistent with the fusion energy science mission. Moreover, ITER helps leverage the U.S. program with the European, Japanese and Russian fusion programs. Supporting research and technical analysis.—The role of these programs is to expand the scientific and engineering base for future energy technology development and to provide independent, objective evaluations of energy research activities. Support is also provided for university related research and manpower training including the use of facilities at the national laboratories for student research and education. Basic Energy Sciences.—The Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program funds basic research in the physical, biological, and engineering sciences that support the Department’s nuclear and non-nuclear technology programs. The BES program is responsible for constructing and operating large user research facilities, such as synchrotron light and neutron sources, and a combustion research facility, as well as smaller user facilities such as materials preparation and electron microscopy centers. The BES program also supports a substantial basic research budget for materials sciences, chemical sciences, and the geosciences. The program supports a number of research areas that are unique within the Federal government; in many basic research areas, such as materials science, funding provided by the BES program represents a large percentage, or even the sole source of Federal funding. The 1997 BES budget request includes a continued support to maintain utilization of the Department’s large stateof-the-art science facilities. The proposed funding will significantly enhance the quality of service and availability of facility resources to users, including university and government scientists, as well as private companies who rely on unique BES facilities for their basic research needs. The proposed funding level will also result in a more rational and efficient utilization of such high technology facilities, which are generally oversubscribed by factors of two to three. Research areas that will benefit from this initiative include structural biology, materials science, superconductor technology, and medical research and technology development. A total of $23 million in budget authority is being requested for the continued construction activities at the Combustion Research Facility, Phase II. Of this amount, $10 million is being requested as a part of this appropriation for the obligations to be incurred for the project in 1997. An additional $13 million in budget authority is being requested as part of a Government-wide general provision in order to fully fund this project. This additional amount is part of a Government-wide effort to improve planning and budgeting for the acquisition of fixed assets. In addition, the BES request includes $8 million in FY 1997 to support research and development and engineering design activities at Oak Ridge National Laboratory leading to the conceptual design of a next-generation spallation source to meet the Nation’s neutron scattering needs. The BES request also includes funding for preconceptual design activities directed towards upgrading the Department’s existing reactor and spallation sources for neutron scattering. ENERGY PROGRAMS—Continued Federal Funds—Continued 441 Without a major new neutron source or upgraded operation of an existing research reactor, the United States will forego significant scientific, technical, and economic benefits that derive from neutron scattering and materials irradiation research and the production of medical isotopes. World-class neutron sources should enable the Nation to carry out major research activities in areas such as biology, materials science, superconductivity, pharmaceuticals, electronic materials, and many other technological areas that are critical for future U.S. economic competitiveness and national security. University and Science Education.—The goal of this program is to ensure that the Department effectively utilizes and leverages the scientific and technical resources of the DOE laboratory system to support the Department’s university and science education missions. This program provides opportunities and effective mechanisms for students and faculty to use hands-on research experiences at the DOE’s laboratories to enhance the development of a diverse scientific and technical workforce, and to provide the institutional support for the education activities of all DOE’s research and technical program areas. Energy research analyses.—This activity involves the independent assessment of existing or proposed technological initiatives, including examination of the base of research that underlies energy supply and utilization technologies. Multiprogram energy laboratories facilities support.—The goal of the multiprogram energy laboratories facilities support program is to provide funds for rehabilitating, replacing or demolishing deficient common-use utilities, roads, and buildings at the multiprogram laboratories. This program also includes support to correct ES&H deficiencies and management of inactive surplus facilities. Technical information management program.—This program contributes to DOE’s missions in advancing energy and nuclear defense technologies and protecting U.S. economic and military security through the effective management and control of the Department’s scientific and technical knowledge which is contained in its information resources. Major objectives which are structured to meet the overall purpose are the effective management, control, and use of the results of DOE’s multibillion dollar research program, and the acquisition and management of results of worldwide investment in energy R&D. Environmental management.—The Environmental Management Program encompasses the following non-defense activities: Environmental Restoration.—Provides for assessments, characterization, remediation, and decontamination and decommissioning at contaminated DOE and legislatively-authorized non-government facilities. Various amounts and types of waste have accumulated at these facilities and sites as a result of past department activities spanning nearly five decades. Waste Management.—Provides for the safe, effective, and efficient management of wastes generated by Energy Supply Research and Development funded activities, through minimization, treatment, storage or disposal of various waste types including radioactive, hazardous, mixed or sanitary wastes in compliance with applicable local, State and Federal requirements and internal Department of Energy requirements. Nuclear Material and Facility Stabilization.—Directs the stabilization of surplus nuclear materials, the preparation of surplus nuclear materials for disposition, and the deactivation of surplus facilities. Site Operations.—Provides Headquarters policy direction for landlord planning and budgeting including reducing site infrastructure costs and managing workforce restructuring. 442 ENERGY PROGRAMS—Continued Federal Funds—Continued THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997 General and special funds—Continued ENERGY SUPPLY, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES— Continued Further, the Office of Site Operations manages the national Transportation Program and the national Pollution Prevention Program and provides leadership for crosscutting issues raised by the field and/or Headquarters, as well as serving as an advocate for the field at Headquarters. Policy and management.—Provides executive direction, management assistance, and administrative support to all programs within energy supply activities. Field Operations.—This account funds the Department’s multiprogram Field Operations Offices and the Office of Field Management which were previously funded in the Departmental Administration Appropriation. The four affected field operations offices are located at Chicago, Idaho, Oak Ridge, and Oakland. They perform functions in support of energy activities throughout the country. Among these functions are field procurement, engineering and construction management, environmental safety and health monitoring, property management, labor relations, legal counsel, and maintenance of personnel and financial systems. These federal FTEs conduct the management oversight of approximately 56,800 management and operating contractor employees spread across the four field installations. The Office of Field Management is responsible for strategic planning for all field elements and management coordination and oversight of all operations offices, implementing project management, cost, facilities management systems and programs. Information Management Investment Program.—This program supports the Strategic Alignment Initiative on Integrating Information Management which has a goal to realize savings through consolidating information resource acquisitions, designing an information architecture for the Department, and ensuring interoperability among all sites. The specific activity of this program is to fund prioritized corporate information management projects. Computational and Technology Research (CTR).—This program includes research in Mathematical, Information, and Computational Sciences and Advanced Energy Projects that were formerly budgeted as the Applied Mathematical Sciences and Advanced Energy Projects subprograms respectively in the Basic Energy Sciences Program. The program also includes Laboratory technology research activities formerly budgeted as the Technology Transfer program. The purpose of the CTR program is to provide an integrated program in long term computational and technology research to address complex problems. The program also supports the operation of large supercomputer user facilities.

The programs support activities ranging from basic research in universities and national laboratories to applied R&D and proof-of-concept projects in private sector firms. The Fossil Energy R&D programs proposed in the 1997 budget will continue limited Federal support of company-specific technology development and demonstration activities. The program continues to fund high-priority, high risk and cross-cutting research that will improve the Nation’s ability to cleanly and efficiently use coal, and to enhance the economic recovery of our oil and gas reserves. Coal R&D.—For 1997, programs will continue to focus on meeting the new goals and objectives and changing mission the Department of Energy. An integrated research and development program consisting of: (1) Advanced Clean/Efficient 444 ENERGY PROGRAMS—Continued Federal Funds—Continued THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997 General and special funds—Continued FOSSIL ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT—Continued Power Systems, (2) Advanced Fuels Research, and (3) Advanced Research and Technology Development replaces the pre-1995 coal program which emphasized individual technologies. Advanced Power Systems research and development concentrates on a set of building-block technologies that will yield the clean coal power generation systems of the future. Typically, many technologies contribute toward advancing any single system. By focusing on building-block technologies that will improve a variety of systems, the Department’s program makes optimal use of funds for research, development and demonstration. The categories of these systems that hold great promise for commercial use include: Advanced Pulverized Coal-fired Powerplants, High Efficiency Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion, High Efficiency Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles, Indirectly Fired Cycles, and Advanced Research and Environmental Technology. The Advanced Clean Fuels Research program will conduct activities to develop clean methods to produce coal-derived liquid fuels. This research consists of Coal Preparation, Direct Liquefaction, Indirect Liquefaction, Advanced Research & Environmental Technology, and Systems for Coproducts. Oil, gas and shale.—The oil program encompasses new and improved oil recovery and related research and development, industry cost-shared demonstration of improved and advanced oil recovery methods, environmental research activities directed to facilitate environmentally acceptable exploration and production of domestic oil resources, and research directed to improve technology needed to economically upgrade domestic-use crude oils in an environmentally sound manner. Consistent with Energy Policy Act objectives, the natural gas program has been redesigned. Previously focused on unconventional gas recovery, the program now emphasizes enhanced gas production, storage technology, and high efficiency, low NOx turbines. New initiatives greatly expand the new gas program research effort. As in all other programs, industry and Gas Research Institute cost-sharing is a key feature. The Advanced Computational Technology Initiative will continue to be funded in the oil and gas programs. This initiative focuses on the transfer of Defense-developed technology to the oil and gas industry. The fuel cells program will continue under this heading since gas-fueled fuel cells will most probably be the first to be developed. Consistent with Congressional direction, the FY 1997 request also includes funding for the mining research partnership program at the Albany Research Center in Oregon, which was formerly funded by the Bureau of Mines. The health and safety research programs formerly part of the Bureau of Mines were transferred to the Department in FY 1996, and are proposed for transfer by the Administration to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in FY 1997. Program direction and management support.—This program provides the funding for all Headquarters and indirect field personnel and overhead expenses in Fossil Energy. In addition, it provides support for day-to-day project management functions. Environmental restoration.—The Department of Energy is assisting in payments for the environmental clean-up of former Fossil Energy projects as required by the Environmental Protection Agency. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) sites include the Western Superfund Site at Ft. Lewis, Washington, and the Rock Springs and Hoe Creek Sites in Wyoming. Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) efforts are underway at the Morgantown Energy Technology Center (METC) to eliminate cross-connections between sewer and storm water lines, and at the Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center (PETC) to clean up contaminated soil and monitor groundwater. Clean-up actions related to close-out of the magnetohydrodynamics program will not be conducted. In addition, as a result of internal DOE evaluations (Tiger Teams) other efforts are underway at both METC and PETC and at the National Institute of Petroleum Energy Research at Bartlesville, Oklahoma to correct a number of other environmental problems. Fuels conversion.—This program will continue regulatory reviews and oversight of the transmission of natural gas and electricity across the U.S. borders and to process certifications of alternate fuel capability.

This has included routine operation and maintenance, development and exploration drilling, environmental and conservation work, and construction and installation of on-reserve facilities and related systems required for the collection, storage, and distribution of produced petroleum and related products. In order to maximize the return on the taxpayer’s investment and the return to the Treasury and as part of the Administration’s proposal to reinvent the Department of Energy, Public Law 104–106 authorizes the Department to sell the Government’s interest in Elk Hills, the major oil and natural gas field located near Bakersfield, California that accounts for the bulk of this program. Under procedures established in Public Law 104–106, a minimum acceptable price shall be established for Elk Hills and the sale shall be conducted on a competitive basis to be completed not later than February 10, 1998. The Department shall also conduct a study of the remaining petroleum and oil shale reserves to determine which of the following options would maximize the value of these reserves to the Government. These options include (1) retention and operation, (2) transfer to another Federal agency, (3) lease, or (4) sale. This law also authorizes the Department to produce Elk Hills at the maximum economic rate. Elk Hills was originally set aside to provide oil for the Navy as it converted from coal to oil near the start of this century. Oil and gas from the field has been produced there with contractor assistance and sold commercially since 1976. Producing and selling this oil and natural gas is a commercial, not a governmental activity, which is more appropriately performed by the private sector. Restructuring at Elk Hills is consistent with the Administration’s commitment to reinvent the government, subjecting public organizations to market dynamics where this can be done in a way to obtain the best value for the taxpayer’s dollar. In addition to the sale price and future tax receipts on profits to be paid by industry, the government would be freed from the obligation to pay some $200 million needed each year to operate and maintain the field.

These programs carry out the Department’s responsibility under the bipartisan Energy Policy Act of 1992 and other major pieces of authorizing legislation. The dollar benefits of our carefully constructed programs— to industries, homeowners, and commercial firms—far exceed program costs. Furthermore, the technologies developed in these programs create jobs and global market opportunities for U.S. firms. When the benefits to national security and the environment are included, it is clear that these programs represent investments in a clean, productive future. In total, the Department’s energy efficiency programs are projected to save homeowners $17 billion and businesses $12.5 billion per year by the year 2005 and to create almost 125,000 jobs. Energy efficiency programs for industry are projected to save U.S. firms $5.8 billion annually by the year 2000 and create 57,000 jobs. Our transportation technologies are projected to reduce oil imports by 2.3 million barrels a day by the year 2000, creating a trade deficit reduction of $14 billion per year. The activities and programs contained in the 1997 Budget Request represent a balanced portfolio of research and development, applied research and demonstration, and market introduction. Virtually all of the research and development programs are conducted jointly with industrial partners who share significantly in research costs, often paying 33–50 percent or more. Similarly, demonstration and deployment programs are specifically designed to leverage the existing programs and the efforts of utilities and existing state and local government programs in energy efficiency and pollution prevention. Within these programs, a single federal dollar is matched by anywhere from 1:1 to as much as a 10:1 ratio of private and other governmental contributions. The budget structure within the Energy Conservation account has been modified this year, with most of the State and local programs (which focus on buildings and construction) being integrated with the building-sector R&D activities. The new organizational unit is shown below as the Buildings, State, and Community Sector. Building, State and Community Sector.—In fiscal year 1997, research and development to improve the energy efficiency of appliances, building equipment, and the building envelope is complemented by new incentive programs designed to move advanced technologies into the marketplace and produce near-term energy savings with associated economic and environmental benefits. Voluntary partnerships for lowering the barriers to cost-effective, new technologies based on the Energy Policy Act of 1992 represent collaborations with many stakeholders, including manufacturers, utilities, State and local organizations, and the general public. Programs to develop appliance and lighting test procedures, to improve the use of building efficiency codes, and to reengineer and improve the collaborative processes for developing appliance and building codes provide the base from which the expanded voluntary and technology introduction programs can successfully penetrate the building sector. The State and Local Partnership Program, which includes the Weatherization Assistance Program, the State Energy Program (a consolidated program including the former State Energy Conservation Program and the Institutional Conservation Program), and the Municipal Energy Program, is designed to promote the adoption of energy efficient and renewable technologies among States, municipalities, institutions, and by private citizens. Federal Energy Management Program.—The Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) will continue to reduce the cost of government by advancing energy efficiency and water conservation, and to use solar and other renewable energy as a means to reduce energy costs. FEMP’s major fiscal year 1997 emphasis will be on using private sector investments to retrofit federal facilities using energy savings performance contracting, thus stretching federal leveraging to the maximum. Industrial Sector.—The fiscal year 1997 program consists of cost-shared technology development which is developed collaboratively with industry and its vision of future challenges and needs. Demand-reduction program areas include: the reduction of industrial wastes, which has both energy-efficiency and environmental benefits; improved electric motor systems; materials processing technologies; chemicals and petroleum refining; pulp and paper production; and advanced materials development. Supply activities include: efforts to understand and mitigate the emissions from combustion of municipal wastes; more efficient industrial cogeneration with emphasis on advanced turbine systems; and development of chemical industry feedstocks from cellulosic resources. The portfolio is balanced with market deployment programs such as Motor Challenge, the National Industrial Competitiveness through Energy, Environment and Economics (NICE3) program, Climate Wise, and the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Centers. In support of the ‘‘Industries Visions of the Future’’ theme, cost-shared Environmental Technology Partnerships will be initiated to conduct research, demonstrations, and deployment of environmentally sound technologies in heavy process industries and in small- and medium-sized industries. Transportation Sector.—The FY 1997 program continues development and commercialization of technologies which can radically alter current projections of U.S. and world demand for energy, particularly oil. The program represents a major portion of the Partnership for the Next Generation of Vehicles with its significant improvements in fuel economy and environmental emissions. Program priorities reflect work on technologies which are most critical to achieve a tripling of light duty vehicles fuel economy, including hybrid vehicles, fuel cells, and advanced materials technologies that improve engine efficiency and reduce weight. In addition, the program will continue to develop alternative fuels and vehicles, and advanced batteries that enable the use of electricity as an alternative fuel. These activities include demonstrating ad- ENERGY PROGRAMS—Continued Federal Funds—Continued DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY vanced alternative fuel vehicles that provide improved range and reduced emissions, with performance equivalent to conventional vehicles; accelerating the use of alternative fuels and vehicles through implementation of Energy Policy Act programs; and demonstrating continued progress in improving range and performance for electric and hybrid vehicles. Utility Technologies.—The Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) program has assisted States in evaluating cost-effective resource allocation options for utility planning. The IRP program has been in existence since 1986 and has substantially completed its mission. In FY 1996 the program is being phased out. Policy and Management.—This activity supports management in the development of policy and program evaluation for energy conservation programs to ensure effective program delivery. 10.00 447 Total obligations ........................................................ 215 264 224 Budgetary resources available for obligation: Unobligated balance available, start of year: Uninvested balance ................................................... 22.00 New budget authority (gross) ........................................ 20 244 49 287 72 221 264 –215 336 –264 293 –224 49 72 69 21.40 23.90 23.95 24.40 40.00 40.25 42.00 Total budgetary resources available for obligation New obligations .............................................................

Hearings and appeals.—The Office of Hearings and Appeals issues all final orders of an adjudicatory nature other than those over which the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or the Board of Contract Appeals has jurisdiction. It decides appeals of petroleum enforcement actions and adverse Freedom of Information Act and Privacy Act determinations, examines requests for exception relief, and administers refund proceedings involving funds obtained as a result of petroleum enforcement actions. This office is also responsible for (a) conducting hearings and issuing initial agency decisions on ‘‘whistleblower’’ complaints made under the DOE Contractor Employee Protection Program, (b) issuing final agency decisions on appeals of disputed ‘‘Payment-Equal-to-Taxes’’ determinations made under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended, and (c) conducting personnel security administrative review hearings, and performing administrative reviews of initial determinations. The FY 1997 funding request is limited to expenses related to Petroleum overcharge cases. Object Classification (in millions of dollars) 1995 actual 1996 est. 1997 est.

Such regulation includes issuing licenses and certificates for construction of facilities, approving rates, inspecting dams, implementing compliance and enforcement activities, and providing other services to regulated businesses. In 1997, these businesses will pay fees and charges sufficient to fully offset the Commission’s cost of providing licenses, inspections, and other services. Natural gas and oil.—The Commission regulates 150 natural gas pipeline companies, and 130 common carrier oil pipeline companies, including the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS). Responsibilities include: issuing certificates of public convenience and necessity for natural gas pipelines, determining rates for the transportation of natural gas in interstate commerce and rates for the transportation of oil by pipeline; and establishing applicable tariff provisions to carry out the Commission’s responsibilities under the Natural Gas Act and the Natural Gas Policy Act. In the post-Order No. 636 environment, the Commission is addressing the new issues that arise in the more competitive marketplace. The Commission has developed policies to permit more flexibility in pricing and is looking at potential solutions to long-term pipeline capacity usage issues. The Commission will be working to assure a healthy, viable pipeline industry while continuing to protect the public interest. Hydropower.—The Commission issues preliminary permits, exemptions, and licenses, including relicenses, for non-federal hydroelectric projects, enforces their terms and conditions, and performs dam safety inspections. The Commission regulates more than 1,600 hydroelectric projects which supply about 5 percent of the electric energy generated in the United States. The Commission also performs investigations to determine the amount of headwater benefits that are derived from Federally-owned and FERC-licensed headwater improvements and returned more than $6 million in revenues to the U.S. Treasury in 1995. Electric power.—The Commission is responsible for determining rates for the interstate sale or transmission of wholesale electric energy for more than 200 electric utilities and for overseeing electric utility corporate transactions. The Commission approves rates for all Federal power marketing agencies except TVA. Implementing the Energy Policy Act of 1992 will result in many changes in the electric power industry to meet increasing generating capacity needs of the 1990’s, primarily through nontraditional sources in response to economic forces in the marketplace. The Commission has the authority to order the provision of transmission service upon request. The Commission also certifies cogenerators, small power producers, and exempt wholesale generators. 166 131 159 37 164 –161 39 159 –137 61 164 –155 39 61 70 11.1 11.3 11.5 Personnel compensation: Full-time permanent ..................................................

Budget authority in the fund in recent years has only been needed to support one FTE to monitor the remaining active agreements and assets of the program. In 1992, that person’s position was incorporated into the geothermal R&D activity, so no new budget authority will be needed in this account in FY 1997. CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY (INCLUDING RESCISSION AND DEFERRAL) Of the funds made available under this heading for obligation in fiscal year 1997 by previous appropriations Acts, as amended, $325,000,000 are rescinded, and an additional $312,879,000 of such funds shall not be available for obligation until October 1, 1997: Provided, That all funds available in fiscal year 1997 under this head shall be available for any ongoing project regardless of the separate request for proposal under which the project was selected: Provided further, That not to exceed $17,000,000 available in fiscal year 1997 may be used for administrative oversight of the Clean Coal Technology program. Note.—A regular 1996 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time this budget was prepared. The 1996 amounts included in this budget are based on the levels provided in three continuing resolutions: P.L. 104–91, P.L. 104–92, and P.L. 104– 99. Public Law 99–190, making continuing appropriations for 1986, provided $400 million from funds in the Energy Security Reserve in the Department of the Treasury for a new Clean Coal Technology program in the Department of Energy. This program was authorized under the Clean Coal Technology Reserve proviso of Public Law 98–473 to subsidize the construction and operation of facilities to demonstrate the potential commercial feasibility of such technologies. Termination of the Clean Coal Technology program, after completion of projects now underway, is part of the President’s realignment of the Department of Energy. The Administration’s policy calls for limiting existing projects which have been selected under contract. If a project is cancelled, the cancelled project’s funding will either be used to meet the needs of remaining on-going projects, or will be rescinded if the funds are not needed by the program. The Department is proposing a rescission of $325 million from the program in FY 1997. The proposed rescission would reduce the total amount appropriated from $2.550 billion to $2.225 billion. In addition, a provision in the request would prevent the Department from obligating $175 million in FY 1997 unobligated budget authority not needed by the program until FY 1998. The Department plans to review the current suite of projects and intends to make project termination decisions to meet the proposed rescission amounts with minimum impact on overall program objectives. Decisions regarding spe- 452 ENERGY PROGRAMS—Continued Federal Funds—Continued THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997 87.00 General and special funds—Continued CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY—Continued (INCLUDING RESCISSION AND DEFERRAL)—Continued cific project terminations and/or restructurings are expected to be made by the end of FY 1996 to achieve the savings in the rescission proposal.

When the Synthetic Fuels Corporation was declared to be operational in 1982, the uncommitted and unobligated funds remaining in the program were transferred to the Energy Security Reserve for use by the Synthetic Fuels Corporation, with the exception of the loan guarantee for the Great Plains Gasification Project, which remained under the jurisdiction of the Department of Energy. The Department exercised its authority to borrow from the Treasury to repay the Federal Financing Bank upon default of the borrower in 1985. This loan was repaid, along with accrued interest, by a Supplemental appropriation in 1986. The Department acquired ownership of the Great Plains plant by foreclosure, which was completed on July 14, 1986, and continued operation of the plant without the expenditure of appropriated funds. On October 31, 1988, the Department completed the process of establishing an asset purchase agreement for the Great Plains Gasification Plant by settlement with Basin Electric Power Cooperative Association. Responsibilities for other related agreements—Trust Agreement, Gas Transportation Agreement, Gas Purchase Agreement—were also settled. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement a check for $85 million was provided to the Government as an initial payment. These agreements are currently the subject of litigation between the Department, Dakota Gasification Company and the four pipeline companies which purchase the synthetic gas from the plant. Future revenue sharing payments to the Department are dependent upon the outcome of this litigation as well as natural gas prices. The parties to litigation negotiated settlement agreements in principle in December 1993. Settlement agreements dated February 16, 1994, have been signed. These settlement agreements resolve all past disputes as well as restructure the Gas Purchase Agreements pricing provisions. The settlement agreements are contingent upon final Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approval. One of the four pipeline companies, which purchases 20 percent of the plant’s output of synthetic natural gas, has received Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval for its settlement agreement. On December 29, 1995, FERC Administrative Law Judge, Michel Levant, issued an initial decision that found the remaining three settlement agreements imprudent based on a comparison of settlement costs versus the costs under the original gas purchase agreements (as modified by the ALJ decision). The ALJ further decided that the modification made to the agreements should be applied retroactively to May 1, 1993. The Department of Energy filed a Brief on Exceptions on January 29, 1996. FERC has committed to taking final action on this case by December 31, 1996. 72.40 PAYMENTS TO 4 ................... ................... f STATES UNDER FEDERAL POWER ACT Unavailable Collections (in millions of dollars) Identification code 89–5105–0–2–806 Outlays (gross), detail: 86.98 Outlays from permanent balances ................................ 4 ................... ................... 1995 actual 1996 est. 1997 est.

SEPA sells wholesale power primarily to publicly and cooperatively-owned electric distribution utilities using wheeling and pooling agreements with the region’s large private utilities to provide firm power to its customers. SEPA does not own or operate any transmission facilities. Its long-term contracts provide for periodic electric rate adjustments to ensure that the Federal Government recovers costs of operation and capital invested in power, with interest, in keeping with statutory requirements. The SEPA program includes the following activities: Program direction.—Provision is made for negotiation and administration of power contracts, collection of revenues, development of wholesale power rates, the amortization of power investment, investigation and planning of proposed water resources projects, scheduling and dispatch of power generation, scheduling storage and release of water, administration of contractual operation requirements, and determination of methods of operating generating plants individually and in coordination with others to obtain maximum utilization of resources. Proprietary receipts deposited in the Treasury were $146 million for 1995 and are estimated to be $156 million for 1996 and $165 million for 1997. Purchase power and wheeling.—Provision is made for the payment of wheeling fees and for the purchase of electricity in connection with disposal of power under contracts with utility companies. For display purposes only, the unobligated balances of this account include a continuing fund of $50 thousand, maintained from receipts from the transmission and sale of electric power in the southeastern area, which is available to defray expenses necessary to ensure continuity of services (16 U.S.C. 825s–2).

Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is the Federal electric power marketing agency in the Pacific Northwest. BPA markets hydroelectric power from 21 multipurpose water resource projects of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and 9 projects of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, plus some energy from non-Federal generating projects in the region. These generating resources and BPA’s transmission system, planned by the end of 1997 to consist of an estimated 14,800 circuit miles of high-voltage transmission lines and 400 substations, are operated as an integrated power system with operating and financial results combined and reported as the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). BPA is the largest power wholesaler in the Northwest and provides about one-half of the region’s electric energy supply and about fourfifths of the region’s electric power transmission capacity. BPA is responsible for meeting the net firm power requirements of its requesting customers through a variety of means, including energy conservation programs, acquisition of renewable and other resources, and power exchanges with utilities both in and outside the region. BPA will finance its operations on the basis of the selffinancing authority provided by Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act of 1974 (Transmission Act) (Public Law 93–454) and the new borrowing authority provided by 461 the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Pacific Northwest Power Act) (Public Law 96–501) for energy conservation, renewable energy resources and capital fish facilities. Authority to borrow is available to the BPA on a permanent, indefinite basis. The amount of borrowing outstanding at any time cannot exceed $3.75 billion. Operating expenses: Marketing, Conservation and Production.—Provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective resources including fuel switching and conservation measures. Also includes protection, mitigation and enhancement of fish and wildlife affected by hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River and its tributaries in accordance with the Pacific Northwest Power Act. Provides for forecasting regional demand; negotiating power sales and wheeling contracts, billing, and servicing these contracts; reviewing and establishing wholesale power and wheeling rates and scheduling power. These resources are needed to serve BPA’s portion of the region’s forecasted net electric load requirements. Residential Exchange.—Provides for extending the benefits of low cost Federal power to the residential and small farm customers of investor-owned and publicly-owned utilities, in accordance with the Pacific Northwest Power Act. Transmission Services.—Provides funding from revenues for electric transmission research and development and program support of the capital investment program described below for transmission services. Provides for operating an estimated 14,800 miles of line and 400 substations, and for maintaining the facilities and equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 1997. Planning Council.—Provides for activities of the Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council required by the Pacific Northwest Power Act. Interest.—Provides for payments to the U.S. Treasury for interest on borrowings to finance BPA’s transmission services, conservation, capital equipment, fish and wildlife, and associated projects capital programs under $3.75 billion borrowing authority provided by the Transmission Act as amended by the Pacific Northwest Power Act and replenished by Public Law 98–50. This category also includes interest on Corps of Engineers, BPA and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation appropriated debt. Associated project costs.—Provides for repayment of the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs of the 30 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation power generating projects, and amortization on the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation capital investment in power generating facilities and irrigation assistance at Bureau facilities. Reimbursable.—Provides for reimbursable power purchases, and for services such as construction, operation and maintenance of transmission facilities when requested and financed by other entities. Also includes the coordination agreement payments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Capital Investments: Marketing, Conservation & Production.—Provides for funding of cost-effective conservation measures. Transmission Services.—Provides for the planning, design and construction of transmission lines, substation and control system additions, replacements, and enhancements to the FCRPS transmission system for a reliable, efficient and costeffective regional transmission system. During FY 1997, Bonneville plans to complete testing and commence operation of the new Munro Control Center, near Spokane, Washington, along with continued construction and completion of a variety of upgrades and additions to existing facilities. Provides for planning, design, and construction work to repair or replace existing transmission lines, substations, control systems, and general facilities of the FCRPS transmission system. 462 POWER MARKETING ADMINISTRATIONS—Continued Federal Funds—Continued THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997 Public enterprise funds—Continued Balance Sheet (in millions of dollars) BONNEVILLE POWER ADMINISTRATION FUND—Continued Capital equipment.—Provides for general purpose ADP equipment, office furniture and equipment, and software capital development in support of all BPA programs. Environment, Fish and wildlife.—Provides for capital investments to implement environmental activities, and protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife affected by hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River and its tributaries, in accordance with the Pacific Northwest Power Act. Associated Projects-Capital.—Provides for direct funding of additions, improvements, and replacements at existing Federal hydroelectric projects in the Northwest. BPA’s 1997 budget includes direct funding for four Bureau of Reclamation projects and one Corps of Engineers project. Contingencies.—Although contingencies are not specifically funded, the need may arise to provide for purchase of power in low-water years; for repair and/or replacement of facilities affected by natural and man-made emergencies, including the resulting additional costs for contracting, construction, and operation and maintenance work; for unavoidable increased costs for the planned program due to necessary but unforeseen adjustments, including engineering and design changes, contractor and other claims and relocations, or for payment of a retrospective premium adjustment in excess nuclear property insurance. Financing.—The Transmission Act provides for the use by BPA of all receipts, collections, and recoveries in cash from all sources, including the sale of bonds, to finance the annual budget programs of BPA. These receipts result primarily from the sale of power and wheeling services. The Transmission Act also provides for authority to borrow from the U.S. Treasury at rates comparable to borrowings at open market rates for similar issues. As amended by the Pacific Northwest Power Act and replenished by Public Law 98–50, it allows for $3.75 billion of borrowing to be outstanding at any time. The fiscal year 1997 capital obligations are estimated to be $287 million. To the extent BPA capital borrowing authority is insufficient in 1997, BPA would use cash reserves generated by revenues from customers, if available, to finance some of these investments. In FY 1995, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $1,000 million and also expects to make payments of $800 million in 1996 and $835 million in 1997. The 1997 payment will be distributed as follows: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service O&M ($124 million), Colville Settlement ($15 million), interest on bonds and appropriations ($394 million), irrigation assistance ($25 million), and amortization ($277 million). Direct loans.—During FY 1997, no new direct loan obligations may be made. Operating results.—Total revenues and reimbursements are forecast at approximately $3.4 billion in 1997. It should be noted that BPA’s revenue forecasts are based on several critical assumptions about both the supply of and demand for Federal energy. During the operating year, deviation from the conditions assumed in a rate case may result in a variation in actual revenues of several hundred million dollars from the forecast.

Western’s operation and maintenance and power marketing expenses for the Colorado River storage project, the Colorado River Basin project, the Seedskadee project, the Dolores project and the Fort Peck project are financed from power revenues. Western operates and maintains approximately 4,000 miles of transmission lines, substations, switchyards, communications and control equipment associated with this fund. The compensation and related expenses for all these activities are qualified under Program Direction. Wholesale power is provided to utilities over interconnected high-voltage transmission systems. In keeping with statutory requirements, long-term power contracts provide for periodic rate adjustments to ensure that the Federal Government recovers all costs of operation and all capital invested in power, with interest. Colorado River storage project.—Western markets power and operates and maintains the power transmission facilities of the Colorado River storage project. Western also purchases electricity and pays wheeling fees to meet firm and nonfirm commitments. Colorado River Basin project.—The Colorado River Basin project includes Western’s expenses associated with the Central Arizona project and the United States entitlement from the Navajo coal-fired powerplant. Revenues in excess of operating expenses are deposited in the Lower Colorado River Basin development fund. Fort Peck project.—Revenue collected by Western is used to defray construction, operation and maintenance and power marketing expenses associated with the power generation and transmission facilities of the Fort Peck project, Corps of Engineers—Civil, and emergency expenses to ensure continuous operation. The Corps operates and maintains the power generating facilities, and Western operates and maintains the transmission system and performs power marketing functions. Seedskadee project.—Activity under the Seedskadee project at Fontenelle Dam in Wyoming was previously included in the Colorado River Storage project. In 1994, separate reporting was initiated to comply with power repayment requirements. Dolores project.—Activity under the Dolores project at McPhee Dam in southwestern Colorado was previously included in the Colorado River Storage project. The facilities were transferred from the Bureau of Reclamation to Western late in 1994. Separate reporting was initiated in 1994 to comply with power repayment requirements. Energy sales and revenue from the Colorado River storage project, the Seedskadee project, the Dolores project and the Colorado River Basin project are shown in the table below. Revenue from the Fort Peck project is integrated with PickSloan Missouri Basin program revenue and included in the revenue totals shown in Western’s construction, rehabilitation, operation and maintenance account. 1995 actual Energy sales (millions of kilowatt hours) ...................................

In the past, most of the funding for these goods and services has been requested in Departmental Administration, and was provided in a way many agency consumers perceived as ‘‘free.’’ Establishment of the working capital fund should help the Department reduce waste and improve efficiency, since funding for the goods and services is requested by the program office consumers who purchase what they need through the working capital fund. The total FY 1997 revenues of the fund are estimated at $93 million.
