This appropriation supports EPA’s core programs, and the
Agency’s effective management goal to establish a management infrastructure that will set and implement the highest
quality standards for effective internal management and fiscal
responsibility. To assist the Agency in accomplishing this goal,
the Office of Inspector General will provide audit and investigative services to improve the performance and integrity
of its programs and operation, and to reduce the risk of loss
from fraud, waste and mismanagement. These services will
identify and recommend corrective actions on management
and administrative deficiencies. The Inspector General also
provides professional review and recommendations concerning
Agency contracting practices, administration and changes
through all phases of the procurement process. Among the
audit functions, contract audits review propriety and allowability of cost claimed or charged to EPA by prime or subcontractors. Internal and performance audits review and
evaluate all facets of Agency programs and operations, including the adequacy of management systems and controls. Financial audits review the soundness and accuracy of the financial
accounting and reporting systems. Grant audits focus on the
effectiveness and propriety of costs of individual projects. Additional funds for audit and investigative activities associated
with the Superfund Trust Fund are appropriated under that
account and transferred to the Inspector General account to
allow for proper accounting. This appropriation also supports
activities under the Working Capital Fund.

This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology, research and development activities including laboratory and center supplies, certain operating expenses (including activities under the Working Capital Fund), contracts,
grants, intergovernmental agreements, and purchases of scientific equipment. These activities provide the scientific and
technology basis for EPA’s regulatory actions. Funding for
the Office of Research and Development and activities in this
account under the Climate Change Technology Initiative are
included in the 21st Century Research Fund.
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 a
number of the Agency’s ten goals. Specifically in FY 2000,
our emphasis will be placed on the following:
Clean Air.—To ensure that every American community has
safe and healthy air to breathe, the EPA will conduct a range
of science and technology activities. These include research
on the effects to human health of toxic air pollutants, and
research on criteria air pollutants (ozone, carbon monoxide,
sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, lead, and particulate matter)
to develop the scientific basis for the EPA’s national ambient
air quality standards. The EPA will also develop control
measures for mobile sources, including the development of
cleaner engine technologies, and cleaner burning fuels.
Clean and Safe Water.—To support the goal of all Americans having drinking water that is clean and safe to drink,
the EPA will conduct research to support efforts to attain
good water quality and safe drinking water. The EPA will
also conduct the research to strengthen the scientific basis
for development of effective beach evaluation tools, and to
enhance understanding of the structure and function of aquat-

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

ic systems through the development of improved aquatic
ecocriteria.
Safe Food.—To ensure that the foods Americans eat will
be free from unsafe pesticide residues, the EPA laboratory
support program provides analytical and environmental chemistry services in support of the EPA’s registration, reregistration and tolerance/reassessment programs for food-use pesticides. Also, the pesticide laboratories will provide analytical
chemistry capabilities to validate food tolerance enforcement
methods.
Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities,
Homes, Workplaces and Ecosystems.—Pollution Prevention
and risk management strategies will be aimed at cost-effectively eliminating, reducing, or minimizing risk due to emissions and contamination. Indoor environments will be improved through technical support, analysis and producing necessary information to understand indoor air effects, and identify health risks so that risk managers can make informed
decisions.
Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated
Waste Sites, and Emergency Response.—To ensure that America’s waste will be stored, treated, and disposed of in ways
that prevent harm to people and the environment, the EPA
will research ways to reduce uncertainties associated with
groundwater/soil sampling and analysis, to develop methods
and models of contaminant transport, and to reduce the time
and cost associated with site characterization and the site
remediation activities that it guides. Field analytical methods
for characterizing soils are also intended to provide cheaper
and more timely analyses and to reduce the uncertainty of
site characterization.
Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental
Risks.—The United States will lead other nations in successful, multilateral efforts to reduce significant risks to human
health and ecosystems from climate change, stratospheric
ozone depletion, and other hazards of international concern.
The EPA will continue efforts to limit the production and
use of ozone-depleting substances and to develop safe alternative compounds. The Agency will continue to work with
the U.S. automobile industry and other government agencies
to develop a ‘‘clean car,’’ a vehicle that would meet the 2004
goals of the Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles
(PNGV) to have three times the fuel efficiency of today’s cars
(representing a 67 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions), with no sacrifice of performance, size, or affordability
while meeting stringent future safety and emission standards.
Expansion of Americans’ Right to Know About Their Environment.—To assist efforts in providing the public with information about the environment, the EPA will focus on improving data collection and data quality and on deploying new
technologies for real time and automated measurement, monitoring, and information delivery. As part of the environmental monitoring for public access and community tracking
(EMPACT) initiative, which is being established to provide
environmental information in the 75 largest U.S. metropolitan
areas, the EPA will evaluate and modify existing risk assessment tools for use by local stakeholders.
Sound Science, Improved Understanding of Environmental
Risk, and Greater Innovation to Address Environmental Problems.—The EPA will develop and apply the best available
science for addressing current and future environmental hazards, as well as new approaches toward improving environmental protection. The Agency will continue to improve its
understanding of risks to human health of the American public and the Nation’s ecosystems. The EPA will address emerging environmental issues while seeking to develop innovative,
cost-effective solutions to pollution prevention and risk reduction by working with stakeholders to identify and overcome
barriers, such as the lack of credible and independent performance data. The Agency will continue to interpret and

927

Federal Funds—Continued

integrate scientific information to help make better regulatory
decisions and provide national leadership in addressing
emerging environmental issues. The EPA will seek to reduce
uncertainties in risk assessment and help to prevent and
manage risk by using cost-effective approaches.
A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance
with the Law.—The National Enforcement Investigations Center is the primary source of forensics expertise in the EPA.
It provides technical services not available elsewhere to support the needs of the EPA Headquarters and Regional offices,
other Federal Agencies, and state and local environmental
enforcement organizations.

This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement, control, and compliance activities and administrative
activities of the operating programs, including activities under
the Working Capital Fund. In addition, activities in this account under the Climate Change Technology Initiative are
included in the 21st Century Research Fund.
This appropriation supports core Agency programs and each
of the Agency’s ten goals. Specifically in FY 2000, EPA will
emphasize the following:
Clean Air.—To ensure that every American community has
safe and healthy air to breathe, EPA will develop and implement new strategies to attain ambient air quality standards
for ozone and particulate matter, and reduce regional haze
through geographic initiatives in areas where significant
transport of pollutants occurs. EPA will continue to develop
and issue national technology-based standards to reduce the
quantity of toxic air pollutants emitted from industrial and
manufacturing processes. EPA will also develop control measures for stationary and other sources that are regulated at
the Federal level.
Clean and Safe Water.—To provide all Americans with
drinking water that is clean and safe to drink, EPA will
emphasize developing new drinking water standards for
microbiological contaminants, disinfectant and disinfection byproducts, and other pollutants identified as posing potentially
high risks. EPA will also work with its State and Tribal
partners to address protection of drinking water sources. EPA
will provide the tools and guidance for its partners to better
protect the Nation’s waters, and protect and restore wetlands.
EPA and its partners will make progress toward completing
Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for impaired U.S. waters and improving implementation of TMDL programs. EPA
will work with its partners to assure effective implementation
of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System,
pretreatment, and biosolids program. EPA will also work with
its partners to address sources of polluted runoff.
Safe Food.—To ensure that the foods Americans eat will
be free from unsafe pesticide residues, EPA will continue
to set terms and conditions of food/feed-use registration, marketing and use. Through the registration, reregistration, and
special review programs, food/feed-use pesticides will undergo
extensive review and evaluation of health data. EPA intends
to decrease the use of pesticides with the highest potential
to cause adverse effects and increase the number of registrations of safer pesticides.
Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities,
Homes, Workplaces and Ecosystems.—Pollution prevention
and risk management strategies will be aimed at cost-effectively eliminating, reducing, or minimizing emissions and contamination. EPA intends to reduce public and ecosystem risks
from non-food/feed-use pesticides through its registration and
reregistration programs and public education and training
activities, including worker protection, endangered species

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

protection, environmental stewardship, and integrated pest
management programs. EPA will also support development
of safer chemicals by minimizing or eliminating regulatory
burdens on new chemicals that replace riskier substances already in the marketplace. The toxicity of wastes will be reduced by focusing on reductions in persistent, bioaccumulative
and toxic (PBTs) chemicals. The quantity of wastes will also
be reduced through source reduction and recycling.
Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated
Waste Sites, and Emergency Response.—To ensure that America’s waste will be stored, treated, and disposed of in ways
that prevent harm to people and to the natural environment,
EPA will continue its Hazardous Waste Minimization and
Combustion Strategy, including setting new standards for
hazardous waste incinerators and cement kilns that burn hazardous waste. In addition, the Agency will focus on controlling
human exposures and groundwater releases at Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) facilities designated as
high priority for corrective action. EPA will also develop and
promulgate standards, regulations, and guidelines to reduce
exposure from radiation sources.
Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental
Risks.—The United States will lead other nations in successful, multilateral efforts to reduce significant risks to human
health and ecosystems from climate change, stratospheric
ozone depletion, and other environmental hazards of international concern. EPA will implement 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 environmental risks via formal and informal
agreements. EPA will 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. EPA will also emphasize
domestic and international efforts to limit the production and
use of ozone-depleting substances and develop safe alternative
compounds, and demonstrate and promote public/private partnership programs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Expansion of Americans’ Right to Know About Their Environment.—Easy access to a wealth of information about the
state of their local environment will expand citizen involvement and give people tools to protect their families and their
communities as they see fit. To achieve this goal, EPA will
increase education, outreach, and data availability programs.
The Agency will expand the coverage of pollutants, pollution
sources, and data elements in EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory,
and ensure compliance with reporting requirements. The
Agency will also improve electronic access to information by
significantly expanding the type and amount of information
available on the Internet.
Sound Science, Improved Understanding of Environmental
Risk, and Greater Innovation to Address Environmental Problems.—EPA will maximize the potential to reduce uncertainties in risk assessment, and help to prevent and manage
risk, by using cost-effective approaches such as the placeand facility-based strategies (e.g., the Community-Based Environmental Protection strategy).
A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance
With the Law.—To ensure full compliance with laws intended
to protect human health and the environment, EPA will promote compliance by the regulated community, set risk-based
enforcement and compliance priorities, and strategically plan
and target activities to address environmental problems associated with industry sectors and communities. EPA will use
traditional activities of compliance monitoring, civil enforcement and criminal enforcement actions as well as new and
innovative approaches such as compliance assistance and
compliance incentives.

929

Federal Funds—Continued

Effective Management.—EPA will improve the quality of
its internal management, contract administration, and fiscal
responsibility efforts. The Agency will invest in its employees
through training, education and implementation of automated
and streamlined human resources processes. The Agency will
focus its contracting efforts on performance-based service contracts instead of the traditional cost-plus, level-of-effort contracting, relying on guidance developed by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy. EPA will concentrate on resolution
of material weaknesses previously identified in the area of
grants closeouts, and on implementation of the best practices
identified government-wide by the General Accounting Office
(GAO) for information resources management and integration
of information technology investments. EPA will also provide
support for electronic reporting to reduce the burden to the
Agency’s highest-volume submitters.

This appropriation supports core Agency programs and a
number of the Agency’s ten goals.
Clean and Safe Water.—This Agency goal is to ensure people are provided clean and safe water to drink, and to protect
and restore America’s water bodies to improve public health,
enhance water quality, reduce flooding, and provide wildlife
habitat. In support of this goal, EPA will provide funds for
capitalization grants to States for Clean Water State Revolving Funds (SRFs), the purpose of which are to make low
interest loans to communities and grants to Indian Tribes
and Native Alaska Villages to construct wastewater treatment
infrastructure, and fund other projects to enhance water quality. Since 1989, the Federal Government has invested approximately $15 billion in grants to help capitalize the 51 SRFs.
With required State match, additional State contribution, and
funds from program leveraging, funds available for such loans
total approximately $27 billion. The Administration’s goal is
for the Clean Water SRFs eventually to provide an average
of $2 billion a year in loans. Appropriations language is being
proposed to address the growing funding needs of States and
tribes to address non-point source pollution.

931

Capitalization grants are also provided for the Drinking
Water SRFs, which make low interest loans to public water
systems and grants to Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages to help them comply with the Safe Drinking Water
Act. The Administration’s goal is for the Drinking Water
SRFs eventually to provide an average of $500 million a year
in loans. In FY 2000, another two million people will receive
the benefit of secondary treatment of wastewater, for a total
of 181.3 million people.
Direct grants are also provided to help address the significant water and wastewater infrastructure needs of Alaska
Native Villages, and for U.S. cities that are facing exceptionally high capital needs and user charges.
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.
Clean Air.—To ensure that every American Community has
safe and healthy air to breathe, EPA will provide funds to
states to upgrade and improve air monitoring networks to
obtain better data on emissions of particulate matter, air
toxics in urban areas, ozone in rural areas, and acidic deposition. EPA will offer media-specific and multi-media, and/or
Performance Partnership grants to States and Tribes, and
technical assistance to aid in the development of State and
Tribal Implementation Plans to support solutions that address local air needs.
The Budget includes $200 million for a new Clean Air Partnership Fund that will enable the development of smart
multi-pollutant strategies to protect our health and our climate. The Fund will be used to capitalize local revolving
funds and provide money for other financing mechanisms to
fund projects that achieve innovative and early air pollution
and greenhouse gas emission reductions.
Preventing Pollution and Reducing Risk in Communities,
Homes, Workplaces and Ecosystems.—EPA will offer mediaspecific and multi-media, and/or Performance Partnership
grants to States and Tribes, and technical assistance to foster
source reduction and recycling. Best approaches for encouraging recycling of non-hazardous industrial wastes will also be
identified through work with the State and Tribal partners.
Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated
Waste Sites, and Emergency Response.—To ensure that America’s waste will be stored, treated, and disposed of in ways
that prevent harm to people and to the natural environment,
EPA will work with States, tribes and local governments to
put environmental protection and decision making in the
hands of those closest to the problems, while maintaining
a Federal leadership role. There will be direct assistance
through media-specific, and multi-media and/or Performance
Partnership grants to enable tribes to implement hazardous
waste programs.
A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance
With the Law.—To ensure full compliance with laws intended
to protect human health and the environment, EPA will provide grant assistance to States and Tribes for both compliance
monitoring and compliance assistance activities. EPA will also
provide direct grant funding to States and Tribes to conduct
compliance inspections and compliance assurance activities
under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
Reduction of Global and Cross-Border Environmental
Risks.—The Agency will provide direct grant assistance to
address the serious environmental and human health problems associated with untreated and industrial and municipal
sewage on the U.S.-Mexico border. EPA will identify waste-

A special fund was established for the deposit of fee receipts
associated with environmental programs, including motor vehicle engine certifications. Receipts in this special fund will
be appropriated to the Science and Technology account in
2000 to finance the expenses of the programs that generate
the receipts. Contingent appropriations language is being proposed to impose user fees on manufacturers of pesticides to
recover the costs of EPA’s Pesticide Registration Program and
use those fees to fund the program. The appropriations language is contingent upon the enactment of legislation that
authorizes the fees. Congressional action is required to activate a user fee rule promulgated by EPA that was subsequently suspended by Congress. A similar approach is being
used to put into effect a proposal to modifiy the cap on the
allowable fee that can be charged to recover the costs of
EPA’s Premanufacture Notification program, for which EPA
will issue a rulemaking. Enactment of this appropriations
language would generate $20 million in receipts that would
be discretionary under the Budget Enforcement Act.

Fees are paid by industry for Federal services in establishing tolerances for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on
food and animal feed. Tolerance fees are no longer deposited
in the revolving fund for certification and other services, but
are deposited in the Reregistration and Expedited Processing
Revolving Fund.

Fees are paid by industry to offset costs of accelerated
reregistration, expedited processing of pesticides, and establishing tolerances for pesticide chemicals in or on food and
animal feed, as authorized in the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act Amendments of 1988, as amended
by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996.

Division’s computer operations and Agency postage. The 2000
amount reflects only base resources and may change during
the year as programmatic needs change. The Agency received
permanent authority for the WCF in P.L. 105–65, which
among other things is intended to increase competition for
government administrative services resulting in lower costs
and higher quality.

This appropriation provides funds for the implementation
of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA) including activities under the Working Capital Fund. Funding for
activities in this account for the Office of Research and Development are included in the 21st Century Research Fund.
This appropriation supports core Agency programs and a
number of the Agency’s ten goals. Specifically in FY 2000,
emphasis will be placed on the following:
Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated
Waste Sites, and Emergency Response.—EPA will complete
cleanups at 85 sites, conduct 300 removal actions, and fund
brownfields site assessments in 50 communities and cleanups
in 100 communities. Through 1998, cleanups had been completed at 585 sites, and 5,498 removal actions had been taken
at 3,987 sites. 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. EPA will allocate funds from its appropriation to other Federal agencies to carry out the Act.
Legislation will be proposed to extend the taxes supporting
the trust fund.
Sound Science, Improved Understanding of Environmental
Risk, and Greater Innovation to Address Environmental Problems.—EPA will develop methods to assess and control the
potential health and environmental risks posed by contaminated waste sites. EPA will also conduct risk management
research which focuses on the remediation of surface and
subsurface contaminated soils, sludge, sediments, buildings,
debris, and groundwater.
A Credible Deterrent to Pollution and Greater Compliance
With the Law.—EPA will investigate and refer for prosecution
criminal violations of the Comprehensive Environmental Re-

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 and the Taxpayer Relief Act of
1997, provides funds for responding to releases from leaking
underground petroleum tanks, including activities under the
Working Capital Fund. The Trust Fund is financed by a 0.1
cent a gallon tax on motor fuels, that will expire after March
30, 2005.
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 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.
This appropriation supports core Agency programs and two
of the Agency’s ten goals. Specifically in FY 2000, emphasis
will be placed on the following:
Better Waste Management, Restoration of Contaminated
Waste Sites, and Emergency Response.—To ensure that America’s waste will be stored, treated, and disposed of in ways
that prevent harm to people and to the natural environment,
EPA will support State and Tribal efforts to design and implement risk-based corrective action programs. These programs
will help to reduce the backlog of Underground Storage Tank
(USTs) sites with confirmed releases waiting to be addressed,
and to enforce the 1998 UST leak detection and upgrade
standards.
Effective Management.—To support the States’ and EPA’s
efforts to regulate and oversee the cleanup of Leaking Underground Storage Tanks, EPA will establish a management infrastructure that will set and implement the highest quality
standards for effective internal management and fiscal responsibility.

øNot later than March 31, 1999, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall issue regulations amending 40 C.F.R.
112 to comply with the requirements of the Edible Oil Regulatory
Reform Act (Public Law 104–55). Such regulations shall differentiate
between and establish separate classes for animal fats and oils and
greases, and fish and marine mammal oils (as described in that
Act), and other oils and greases, and shall apply standards to such
different classes of fats and oils based on differences in the physical,
chemical, biological, and other properties, and in the environmental
effects, of the classes. None of the funds made available by this
Act or in subsequent Acts may be used by the Environmental Protection Agency to issue or to establish an interpretation or guidance
relating to fats, oils, and greases (as described in Public Law 104–
55) that does not comply with the requirements of the Edible Oil
Regulatory Reform Act.¿ (Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999.)
