Air.—The air program sets standards for: ambient air quality; emissions of hazardous and criteria air pollutants and acid deposition precursors from stationary sources; prevention of significant deterioration of air quality; and protection of the stratospheric ozone layer. This also includes the indoor environments program. EPA will also be fulfilling its role in the President’s National Action Plan for Climate Change. Water Quality.—The water quality program has as its goal the protection and restoration of the Nation’s waters. The program relies on a partnership between EPA and the States to meet the goals of the Act. The program encompasses the following major activities: (1) developing water quality standards; (2) establishing technology-based effluent limits for industrial discharges; (3) monitoring water quality and developing tools to assess programs and target efforts; (4) establishing a more fair, flexible and effective Federal Wetlands program to enhance State and local wetlands protection; (5) riskbased targeting of abatement activities to protect important habitats and watersheds through geographic initiatives; (6) issuing and enforcing requirements of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for industrial and municipal sources, for which user fees will be collected for all EPA issued permits; (7) managing the municipal wastewater facilities completion/closeout of construction grants, and managing the State Revolving Fund programs; and, (8) managing water pollution control related state grants under sections 104(b)(3), 106, and 319 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Drinking Water.—The safe drinking water program protects the Nation’s drinking water supplies from contaminants. This involves: (1) setting national drinking water standards that protect human health; (2) building strong, flexible partnerships among States, Tribes, local governments, the public, and EPA to implement drinking water regulations; (3) providing better information to consumers; and (4) directing the Agency’s activities to manage and improve ground water quality with emphasis on ground water protection. Hazardous Waste.—The hazardous waste program is designed to ensure that hazardous wastes are managed in a manner that protects public health and the environment. The program emphasizes delegation of authority to the States, permitting of operating and closed facilities, enforcement of hazardous waste regulations, and corrective action. State assumption of hazardous waste authorities will be encouraged through regulations and guidance. Pesticides.—EPA is responsible for protecting public health and the environment from unreasonable pesticide risks, taking into account the economic, social, and environmental costs and benefits from pesticide use. Major activities include: (1) review and registration of pesticide products; (2) developing and processing registration standards; (3) reregistration of pesticides as required by the 1988 amendments to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act; and, (4) developing guidelines to ensure the protection of pesticide workers, as well as assisting in the development of State plans for pesticide use that will protect ground water and endangered species. Radiation.—The radiation program develops and promulgates standards, regulations, and guidelines to reduce exposure from radiation sources. EPA will assess risks associated with high levels of naturally occurring radon, certify radon remediation contractors (for which a user fee will be collected), and provide technical assistance and guidance to States on radon. Also, the Agency will carry out its responsibilities under the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Land Withdrawal and the Energy Policy Acts. Multimedia.—The multimedia program is composed of several activities that cut across media programs. This involves: (1) all technical and legal aspects of the Agency’s enforcement and compliance assurance efforts, including compliance assistance and incentives, inspections, investigations and civil judicial and administrative actions; (2) review of environmental impact statements (EIS) on actions taken by Federal agencies; (3) Federal agencies’ compliance with statutes and regulations for pollution control; (4) the Regional funding of complex multimedia projects with significant State and local concerns due to the high risk to human health and ecosystems; and (5) the Agency’s support to increase the capability of native Indian tribes to manage environmental programs. Toxic Substances.—The toxic substances program is responsible for protecting human health and the environment from unreasonable risks posed by chemicals. The program places a balanced emphasis on evaluation and control of new and existing chemicals and the reduction of exposure through pollution prevention. Nonregulatory approaches to obtain compliance are used where appropriate. The program has developed a comprehensive lead control strategy to examine the longterm efficacy of lead abatement, and to implement the requirements of Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. The Program also provides technical assistance to implement various requirements of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 937 Federal Funds—Continued relating to chemical releases, and the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990.

Since 1989, the Federal government has invested approximately $13 billion in grants to help capitalize the 51 State revolving funds. With required State match, additional State contributions, and funds from program leveraging, funds available for loans total approximately $20 billion. Funds are also provided for capitalization grants to the new Drinking Water State Revolving Funds for the purpose of making low interest loans to public water systems and grants to Indian Tribes and Alaska Villages to help them comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act. These resources will allow States and others to fund both construction of needed infrastructure improvements for drinking water systems to ensure protection of public health and improve compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act requirements. In support of the U.S.-Mexico Border Environmental Plan, funds are provided to address the serious environmental and human health problems associated with untreated industrial and municipal sewage along the U.S.-Mexico Border, including the impoverished colonias in Texas. Funds are also provided to help address the significant water and wastewater needs of rural and Alaska Native Villages and for U.S. cities that are facing both exceptionally high capital needs and user charges. The 1996 appropriation provided the EPA Administrator with the authority to allow States and Indian tribes to consolidate numerous existing media-specific (e.g., air, water) or multimedia grants appropriated through this account into one or more Performance Partnership grants.

EPA received authority to establish a Working Capital Fund WCF and was designated a franchise fund pilot under Public Law 103–356, the Government Management and Reform Act of 1994. EPA’s WCF became operational in FY 1997 and includes two activities: Enterprise Technology Services Division’s computer operations and Agency postage. The 1998 amount reflects only base resources and may change during the year as programmatic needs change. The franchise fund concept is intended to increase competition for government administrative services resulting in lower costs and higher quality. The budget requests permanent WCF authority to institutionalize fee-for-service as the mechanism to fund certain administrative services and strengthen customer office accountability for administrative support in carrying out the Agency’s mission.

This Act provides authority for responding to and cleaning up hazardous substance emergencies and cleaning up abandoned, uncontrolled hazardous waste sites. Legislation will be proposed to extend the taxes supporting the trust fund through 2007. Financial responsibility for the program is shared by the Federal and State governments as well as industry. EPA will allocate funds from its appropriation to other Federal agencies to carry out the Act. Risks to public health and the environment at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites qualifying for EPA’s National Priorities List (NPL) are reduced and addressed through a process involving site assessment and analysis, and the design and implementation of cleanup remedies. Throughout this process, cleanup activities may also be supported by shorter-term removal actions to reduce immediate risks. NPL cleanups and removals are conducted and financed by EPA, private parties, or other Federal agencies. Through 1996, construction of cleanup remedies had been completed at a total of 410 NPL sites and 4,605 removal actions had been taken at 3,450 sites. The 1998 request includes additional funds to honor the President’s commitment to clean up two thirds of NPL sites by the year 2000, and to clean up brownfields sites.

The Trust Fund was financed by a 0.1 cent a gallon tax on motor fuels, that became effective January 1, 1987 and expired December 31, 1995. Legislation will be proposed to extend this tax through September 30, 2007. Funds are allocated to the States through cooperative agreements to clean up those sites posing the greatest threat to human health and environment. Funds are also used for grants to non-state entities, including Indian Tribes, under section 8001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. EPA supports cleanup and enforcement programs which are implemented by the States. Risks from releases at leaking underground petroleum tanks are reduced and addressed by cleanup actions. To measure performance, the LUST program tracks the number of cleanups completed, which includes all sites where the State determines risks have been addressed through completed corrective actions. The complexity of cleanups is increasing due to issues such as contaminated groundwater; therefore, cleanups will take longer and the number of cleanups completed will slow in the near future. Cleanups are conducted by the State or the responsible party. LUST Trust Fund dollars can be used for State-lead cleanups and for State oversight of responsible party cleanups.

These programs will continue to be funded out of General Fund appropriation accounts. To minimize administrative burdens, an amount would be transferred from the LUST Trust Fund to the General Fund to reimburse the General Fund for the cost of these programs. Once authorizing legislation has been enacted, appropriations language will be transmitted to Congress. Use of funding for this purpose will not result in a shortage of funding for cleanups of leaking underground storage tanks, which remain the priority for funding from the Trust Fund. 25 Object Classification (in millions of dollars) Identification code 20–8153–0–7–304 61 47 1 1 1 1 61 1 Personnel Summary 19 0299 0799 Total obligations ........................................................ 1 1 1 1 51 2 87.00 Total balance, start of year ...................................... 1,019 1,057 1,071 Cash income during the year: Governmental receipts: 0200 Transfer from the general fund amounts equivalent to taxes, Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund, EPA .................................................... 48 ................... ................... 0201 Governmental receipts ............................................... ................... 23 162 Intragovernmental transactions: 0240 Earnings on investments, Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund, EPA .............................. 59 49 45 0297 Income under present law ............................................. 107 49 45 0298 Income under proposed legislation ............................... ................... 23 162 Total cash outgo (–) ......................................................
