safety, reliability, and performance; expansion of scientific,
engineering, and manufacturing capabilities to enable certification of the enduring nuclear weapons stockpile; and manufacture of nuclear weapon components under a comprehensive
test ban. Weapons Activities also provides for continued maintenance and investment in the Department’s enterprise of
nuclear stewardship, including the evolution of the Nuclear
Weapons Complex to be more responsive and cost effective.
Complex Transformation will be realized through a combination of ongoing and new activities that will lead to the elimination of expensive and unneeded redundancies and ensure
improvements in efficiency. The Department also supports
the capability to return to underground testing, if so directed
by the President. The major elements of the program include
the following:
Directed Stockpile Work.—Encompasses all activities that
directly support specific weapons in the stockpile. These activities include: maintenance and day-to-day care; planned
refurbishment; reliability assessment; weapon dismantlement
and disposal; and research, development, and certification
technology efforts to meet stockpile requirements.
Campaigns.—Focuses on scientific, technical, and engineering efforts to develop and maintain critical capabilities and
tools needed to support stockpile refurbishment and continued
assessment and certification of the stockpile for the longterm in the absence of underground nuclear testing.
Readiness in Technical Base and Facilities.—Provides the
underlying physical infrastructure and operational readiness
for the Directed Stockpile Work and Campaign activities.
These activities include ensuring that facilities are operational, safe, secure, and compliant with regulatory requirements, and that a defined level of readiness is sustained
at facilities funded by the Office of Defense Programs.
Secure Transportation Asset.—Provides for the safe, secure
movement of nuclear weapons, special nuclear material, and
weapon components between military locations and nuclear
complex facilities within the United States. It includes program direction funding for couriers.
Nuclear Weapons Incident Response.—Manages strategically
placed people and equipment to provide a technically trained
response to any nuclear or radiological emergency worldwide
and continue to counter nuclear terrorism.
Facilities and Infrastructure Recapitalization.—Executes a
multi-year effort to restore the physical infrastructure of the
nuclear weapons complex and supports the responsive infrastructure requirements of the Nuclear Posture Review. This
capital renewal and sustainability program focuses on deferred maintenance reduction of mission-critical facilities and
infrastructure, and construction of selected utility line items.
The Program also is working towards institutionalizing responsible and accountable facility management within NNSA
consistent with industry best practices.
Transformation Disposition.—Eliminates excess facilities
through demolition, transfer, or sale and ensures the vitality
of the nuclear weapons complex into the future. The program
basis will be linked to Complex Transformation along with
routine excess facility disposition and Real Property Assest
Management and the inherent stewardship required for disposition of excess facilities.
Environmental Projects and Operations program.—Is responsible for management of long-term environmental stewardship at NNSA sites that have a continuing mission and
ongoing operations after cleanup is complete. Activities include groundwater treatment, environmental monitoring of
surface water and groundwater, soils and landfill remedies;
and reporting and liaison requirements for various states and
surveillance/monitoring of contaminated, excess buildings.
Defense Nuclear Security.—Provides protection for NNSA
personnel, facilities, and nuclear weapons. Provides for all
safeguards and security requirements including protective

the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD)
worldwide; 3) and eliminate or secure inventories of surplus
materials and infrastructure usable for nuclear weapons. The
program addresses the danger that hostile nations or terrorist
groups may acquire WMD or weapons-usable material, dualuse production technology or weapons of mass destruction
expertise. The major elements of the program include the
following:
Nonproliferation and Verification Research and Development.—Conducts long-term research and development leading
to prototype demonstrations and detection systems for
strengthening U.S. capabilities to respond to current and projected threats to national and homeland security posed by
the proliferation of nuclear weapons and diversion of special
nuclear material. The program interfaces directly with NNSA
and other Department of Energy (DOE) programs as well
as other U.S. Government agencies to provide innovative
tools, techniques, technologies, and capabilities to meet their
nonproliferation, counter-proliferation, and counter-terrorism
mission requirements.
Nonproliferation and International Security.—Provides policy and technical support to address the entire proliferation
spectrum to deny countries the opportunities to overtly acquire the materials, technology, and expertise necessary to
develop WMD programs. The program works to strengthen
nonproliferation treaties, regimes, and international institutions; expand the reach of the nonproliferation regime by
enhancing foreign compliance with nonproliferation norms
and obligations; and eliminate proliferation programs and
stockpiles of WMD materials thereby reducing the threat of
WMD terrorism. Specific activities include implementing and
monitoring transparent WMD reductions; strengthening indigenous international safeguards and export controls systems
in other countries; transitioning WMD expertise and infrastructure to peaceful purposes; realizing the nonproliferation
opportunities associated with the global expansion of nuclear
energy; improving associated international safeguards, export
control, and interdiction regimes; serving as the technical
edge within the interagency for various interdiction activities;
and developing and implementing transparency measures to
ensure that nuclear materials are secure.
International Nuclear Materials Protection and Cooperation.—Continues to improve the security of nuclear material
and nuclear warheads in Russia and other counties of proliferation concern by installing Material, Protection, Control
and Accounting (MPC&A) upgrades and providing sustainability support to sites with previously installed MPC&A upgrades. Reducing the potential for diversion of nuclear warheads and nuclear materials has been a critical priority for
the United States. The United States, through DOE/NNSA’s
Second Line of Defense Program, will continue to work with
international partners to enhance their capabilities to detect,
deter, and interdict illicit trafficking in nuclear and other
radioactive materials, including the screening of containerized
cargo at strategic international seaports.
Elimination of Weapons-Grade Plutonium Production.—Enhances nuclear nonproliferation by assisting Russia in ceasing
its production of weapons-grade plutonium by providing replacement power production capacity. This will result in the
shutdown of the world’s last three plutonium producing reactors, and eliminate the production of 1.2 metric tons of plutonium per year.
Fissile Materials Disposition.—Conducts activities in both
the United States and Russia to dispose of fissile materials
that would pose a threat to the United States if acquired
by hostile nations or terrorist groups. The program focuses
U.S. efforts to accomplish the Plutonium Management and
Disposition Agreement between the United States and Russia,
which commits both countries to dispose of 34 metric tons

of surplus weapons-grade plutonium; and separate efforts to
down blend surplus U.S. highly enriched uranium.
Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI).—Through the
GTRI, the Department works with Russia and works or plans
to work in over 90 other countries worldwide to reduce and
protect vulnerable nuclear and radiological material located
at civilian sites worldwide that could be used to make a
crude nuclear bomb or radiological ‘‘dirty bomb.’’ GTRI has
three goals—convert, remove, protect—that provide a comprehensive approach to achieving its mission and denying
terrorist access to nuclear and radiological materials.
Convert.—Convert research reactors from the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low enriched uranium; this
results in permanent threat reduction because the minimization, and to the extent possible, the elimination of HEU
in civilian applications means one less source of bomb material.
Remove.—Remove or dispose of excess nuclear and radiological material; this results in permanent threat reduction
because each kilogram or curie of this dangerous material
that is removed reduces the risk that a terrorist bomb
will go off.
Protect.—Protect at-risk nuclear and radiological materials from theft and sabotage; this results in threat reduction by rapidly upgrading the physical security at vulnerable sites until a permanent threat reduction solution can
be implemented.

The Defense Environmental Cleanup program is responsible
for identifying and reducing risks and managing waste at
sites where the Department carried out defense-related nuclear research and production activities that resulted in radioactive, hazardous, and mixed waste contamination requiring
remediation, stabilization, or some other type of cleanup action. The budget displays the cleanup program by site.
Closure Sites.—Funds geographic sites that are nearing
cleanup completion or have completed cleanup and are awaiting transfer to the Office of Legacy Management or other
DOE program or private sector entity. The sites include Ashtabula, Fernald, and Miamisburg (Mound). Also, funds postclosure administration costs after physical completion.
Hanford Site.—Funds the Hanford site cleanup and environmental restoration to protect the Columbia River. Because
of the immensity of the cleanup program at the Hanford
site, the cleanup is managed by two site offices: the Richland
Operations Office and the Office of River Protection.
The Hanford site (Richland) is responsible for cleanup of
most of the geographic area on the Hanford site, and its
projects are displayed in two accounts: projects to be completed by 2012 and projects to be completed before 2035.
The primary cleanup focus is the safe storage, treatment and
disposal of Hanford’s legacy wastes and environmental restoration. Risk to the public, workers, and the environment
will be reduced by removing contamination before it migrates
to the Columbia River.
The Office of River Protection at the Hanford site is responsible for the storage, retrieval, treatment, immobilization, and
disposal of tank waste and the operation, maintenance, engineering, and construction activities in the 200 Area Tank
Farms. Its budget has two components, the operation and
maintenance of radioactive liquid waste tank farms and construction of the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant.
Idaho.—Funds the Idaho Cleanup Project, which is aimed
at reducing the risk of contamination reaching the Snake
River Plain Aquifer from nuclear and hazardous waste buried
or stored on-site. It also funds efforts to eliminate infrastructure costs by aggressively conducting cleanup operations to
reduce the site ‘‘footprint’’; stabilize legacy spent nuclear fuel
through 2012; and treat and dispose of the sodium bearing
tank wastes, close tank farms, perform initial tank soils remediation work as well as preparation of the stored high-level
waste calcine for final disposition.
NNSA Sites.—Funds the safe and efficient cleanup of the
environmental legacy at National Nuclear Security Administration sites including Los Alamos National Laboratory, Nevada Site, and the Separations Process Research Unit, as
Sfmt 3616

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

well as non-defense activities at Los Alamos and Idaho. The
cleanup strategy is a risk-based approach that focuses first
on those contaminant plumes and sources that are the greatest contributors to risk. The overall goal is to ensure that
risks to the public and workers are controlled, followed by
work to clean up soil and groundwater using a risk-based
methodology. NNSA is responsible for long-term stewardship
of its sites after physical cleanup is completed.
Oak Ridge.—Funds defense-related cleanup of the three facilities that make up the Oak Ridge Reservation: the East
Tennessee Technology Park, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Y–12 Plant. The overall cleanup strategy is
based on surface water considerations, encompassing five distinct watersheds that feed the Clinch River. Cleanup actions
will ensure that waste is contained; on-site surface water
quality is improved to meet required standards; and off-site
users of the Clinch River remain protected.
Savannah River Site.—Funds the safe stabilization, treatment, and disposition of legacy nuclear materials, spent nuclear fuel, and waste at the Savannah River site. The cleanup
funding is displayed in three accounts: projects to be completed by 2012, projects to be completed before 2035, and
projects related to the Radioactive Liquid Waste Tank Farms,
including Defense Waste Processing Facility operations. The
Savannah River cleanup strategy has four primary objectives:
1) eliminate the highest risks first through safe stabilization,
treatment, and disposition of EM-owned nuclear materials,
spent nuclear fuel, and waste; 2) significantly reduce costs
of continuing operations and surveillance and maintenance;
3) decommission all EM-owned facilities; and 4) remediate
groundwater and contaminated soils, using an area closure
approach.
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.—Funds the world’s first permitted deep geologic repository for the permanent disposal
of radioactive waste, and the Nation’s only disposal site for
defense-generated transuranic waste. The Waste Isolation
Pilot Plant, managed by the Carlsbad Field Office, is an operating facility, supporting the cleanup of transuranic waste
from waste generator and storage sites. The Waste Isolation
Pilot Plant is crucial to DOE completing its cleanup and closure mission.
Program Direction.—Funds the Federal workforce responsible for the overall direction and administrative support of
the EM program, including both Headquarters and field personnel.
Program Support.—Funds EM Headquarters policy and
oversight activities. This includes management and direction
for various crosscutting EM and Department of Energy initiatives; establishment and implementation of national and departmental policy; and analyses and integration activities
across the Department of Energy complex in a consistent,
responsible and efficient manner.
Safeguards and Security.—Funds activities to ensure protection against unauthorized access, theft, diversion, loss of
custody or destruction of Department of Energy assets and
hostile acts that may cause adverse impacts on fundamental
national security or the health and safety of Department of
Energy and contractor employees, the public or the environment.
Technology Development and Deployment.—Funds projects
to address the immediate, near- and long-term technology
needs identified by the EM sites, enabling them to accelerate
their cleanup schedules, treat orphaned wastes, improve
worker safety, and provide technical foundations for the sites’
end state visions.
Federal Contribution to the Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund.—Funds the Federal
Government’s contribution to the Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund, as required by the
Energy Policy Act of 1992.

RESCISSION OF FUNDS)¿

For Department of Energy expenses including the purchase, construction and acquisition of plant and capital equipment, and other
expenses necessary for science activities in carrying out the purposes
of the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7101 et
seq.), including the acquisition or condemnation of any real property
or facility or for plant or facility acquisition, construction, or expansion, and purchase of not to exceed ø30¿ 49 passenger motor vehicles
for replacement only, ø$4,055,483,000¿ including one law enforcement
vehicle, one ambulance, and three buses, $4,721,969,000, to remain
available until expendedø: Provided, That of the funds made available
in section 130 of division H (Miscellaneous Appropriations and Offsets) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004, Public Law 108–
199, as amended by section 315 of Public Law 109–103, for the
Coralville, Iowa, project, $44,569,000 is rescinded¿. (Energy and
Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008.)
Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

This appropriation was established by the Congress as part
of the 1993 Energy and Water Development Appropriation
(P.L. 102–377) in lieu of payment from DOE into the Nuclear
Waste Fund for activities related to the disposal of defense
high-level waste.
The program’s cost estimates reflect DOE’s best projections,
given the scope of work identified and planned schedule of
required activities. Future budget requests for the program
have yet to be established and will be determined through
the annual executive and congressional budget process.
Since passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982,
as amended, amounts have been deposited into the Nuclear
Waste Fund for costs for activities related to disposal of highlevel waste generated from the atomic energy defense activities of DOE. The Defense Nuclear Waste Disposal appropriation was established to ensure payment of the Federal Government’s contribution to the nuclear waste repository program. Through 2007, a total of approximately $3,328 million
has been appropriated to support nuclear waste repository
activities attributed to atomic energy defense activities. At
the end of 2007, the Federal Government has paid $534 million in advance for the defense share of the program cost.

High Energy Physics.—The high energy physics (HEP) program aims to understand how our universe works at its most
fundamental level, by discovering the most elementary constituents of matter and energy, probing the interactions between them, and exploring the basic nature of space and
time itself. The program encompasses both experimental and
theoretical particle physics research and related advanced accelerator and detector technology research and development
(R&D). The primary mode of experimental research involves
the study of collisions of energetic particles using large particle accelerators or colliding beam facilities.
In addition to contributing to breakthrough discoveries,
such as the existence of the invisible ‘‘dark energy’’ that permeates the universe, state-of-the-art technology developed for
accelerators and detectors contributes to progress in fields
such as fast electronics, high-speed computing, superconducting magnet technology, and high-power radio frequency devices. HEP research also makes major contributions
to accelerator technology and provides the expertise necessary
for the expansion of such technology into fields such as medical imaging and diagnostics as well as materials, biology,
and chemistry research using light sources. One notable recent example is the Linac Coherent Light Source, now completing construction at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
(SLAC); the concept and proof-of-principle for this state-ofthe-art basic energy sciences facility grew out of particle accelerator technology developed for the HEP program.
The HEP budget request supports a world leadership program at Fermilab (the Tevatron Collider and Neutrinos at
the Main Injector [NuMI]) and phase-out activities at the
SLAC B-factory, which has completed its scientific mission.
Funding is provided for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
research program, including support for software and computing, pre-operations and maintenance of the U.S. built systems that are part of the LHC detectors; and accelerator
commissioning and accelerator physics studies using the LHC.
The HEP request also supports development of new scientific opportunities for the U.S. HEP program in the next
decade that include forefront neutrino experiments, studies
to understand dark energy, strong U.S. participation in LHC
physics, and investments in R&D for a potential international
linear collider. While the future trajectory of the HEP program has a strong emphasis on the energy frontier, the proposed program will provide the U.S. with a diverse array
of world-leading efforts. Accelerator technology R&D is focused on superconducting radio frequency structures, in view
of their potential applicability to many scientific disciplines,
and the initiation of the Advanced Accelerator R&D Facility
to develop new particle acceleration mechanisms for the future.
Nuclear physics.—The nuclear physics program works to
understand the evolution and structure of nuclear matter,
from the smallest building blocks of quarks and gluons, to
the stable elements in the Universe created by stars and
to unique isotopes created in the laboratory that exist at
the limits of stability and possess radically different properties from known matter. The program focuses on three
broad but highly related research frontiers: (1) the theory

of strong interactions among quarks and gluons (quantum
chromodynamics) and its implications and predictions for the
state of matter in the early universe, quark confinement,
the role of gluons and the structure of the proton and neutron;
(2) the structure of atomic nuclei and nuclear astrophysics,
which addresses the origin of the elements, the structure
and limits of nuclei, and the evolution of the cosmos; and
(3) developing a New Standard Model of Nature’s fundamental interactions and understanding its implications for
the origin of matter and the properties of neutrinos and
nuclei.
Fundamental research in nuclear physics will provide new
insights and advance the world’s knowledge on the nature
of matter and energy and develop the scientific knowledge,
technologies, and trained manpower that are needed to underpin DOE’s missions for nuclear-related national security, energy, and environmental quality.
The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider research program at
Brookhaven National Laboratory will continue pursuing the
characterization of new states of matter and phenomena that
occur in hot, dense nuclear matter. The Thomas Jefferson
National Accelerator Facility/Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) experimental program will continue its studies focused on understanding the substructure
of the nucleon. Doubling the electron beam energy at CEBAF
to 12 giga-electron volts (GeV) opens the opportunity for new
discoveries and an understanding of quark confinement-one
of the mysteries of modern physics. Construction activities
for the upgrade start in 2009. Operations of the Holifield
Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Argonne Tandem Linear Accelerator System at
Argonne National Laboratory will be supported for the study
of nuclear structure and nuclear astrophysics, as will the
operation of accelerator laboratories at universities. Research,
development, and conceptual design is initiated for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, which will enable a comprehensive description of nuclei, elucidate the origin of the elements
in the cosmos, provide an understanding of matter in the
crust of neutron stars, and establish the scientific foundation
for innovative applications of nuclear science to society. The
development and production of commercial and research
radioisotopes are provided for medical institutions, universities, research organizations, and industry for a wide array
of uses and applications. Activities for the production of
radioisotopes are transferred to Science from Nuclear Energy
effective in FY 2009.
Biological and Environmental Research.—This program
funds research in global climate change; environmental remediation; molecular, cellular, and systemic studies on the biological effects of radiation; structural biology; radiochemisty
and instrumentation; and DNA sequencing. The program also
supports science related to carbon sequestration. In conjunction with the advanced scientific computing research program,
a global systems application is continued to accelerate
progress in coupled general circulation model development
through use of enhanced computer simulation and modeling.
The Genomics: GTL activity will develop the science, technology, and knowledge base to harness microbial and plant
systems for cost effective renewable energy production, carbon
sequestration, and environmental remediation. The request
includes $75 million for Genomics: GTL Bioenergy Research
Centers. Research at the Centers will focus on developing
the science underpinning biofuel production.
Basic Energy Sciences.—The basic energy sciences (BES)
program funds basic research in material sciences, chemistry,
geosciences, and aspects of biosciences that support the Department’s nuclear and non-nuclear technology programs. 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 request inSfmt 3616

cludes $60 million for hydrogen and fuel cell research as
part of the President’s Hydrogen Initiative as well as funding
for basic research for electrical energy storage and an advanced nuclear fuel cycle.
The BES program operates large national user research
facilities, including synchrotron light and neutron sources and
smaller user facilities such as materials preparation and electron microscopy centers. The request includes continued support to maintain utilization of the Department’s large stateof-the-art national user facilities. Funding will maintain 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. Research areas that will benefit from
the facilities funding include structural biology, materials
science, superconductor technology, and biomedical research
and technology development.
The BES request includes $178 million for operations of
the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory to meet the Nation’s neutron scattering needs.
The request includes $19 million to continue design and fabrication of additional instruments beyond the initial instrument suite included in the SNS. The SNS will provide significant scientific, technical, and economic benefits that derive
from neutron scattering and materials irradiation research.
Reflecting the high priority given to nanoscale research, BES
funding for the multi-agency national nanotechnology program includes funding for the operation of the Nanoscale
Science Research Centers (NSRCs) at the Oak Ridge, Lawrence Berkeley, Brookhaven, and Argonne national laboratories, and for one NSRC collocated at Sandia and Los Alamos
national laboratories. The request also includes $37 million
for construction of the Linac Coherent Light Source at the
Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The BES request also
includes $93 million to finish design and start construction
of the National Synchrotron Light Source II
Fusion Energy Sciences.—The fusion energy sciences program advances plasma science, fusion science, and fusion
technology in order to establish the knowledge base necessary
for fusion to become an economically and environmentally
attractive energy source. The program is conducting a broad
range of research dealing with the many scientific issues it
faces with the eventual goal of developing a predictive capability for plasma performance, including burning plasmas;
demonstrating enhanced fundamental understanding of magnetic confinement through research on magnetic confinement
configuration optimization; and developing the fundamental
understanding of high energy density laboratory plasmas.
The budget includes $214 million for the U.S. contributions
to ITER project, an international burning plasma physics experiment being built in France in collaboration with the European Union (EU), Japan, Russia, Korea, China, and India.
The EU is providing approximately 45% of the cost of building
the facility, while the remaining parties will each provide
approximately 9%. ITER is an essential next step toward
eventually developing fusion as a commercially viable energy
source.
The budget also provides for support of basic research in
plasma science in partnership with the National Science
Foundation, investigation of innovative confinement concepts,
and continued operation of the DIII-D, Alcator C-Mod, and
the National Spherical Torus Experiment facilities to develop
a fuller understanding of the physics of magnetically confined
plasma and to identify approaches that may improve the economical and environmental attractiveness of fusion in the
long run. Fabrication of the National Compact Stellarator
Experiment will continue at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

In 2008, Congress created four separate accounts to replace
Energy Supply and Conservation: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability,
Nuclear Energy, and Legacy Management. In 2009, all Legacy
Management activities are funded under Other Defense Activities.
Prior to 2008, Environment, Safety and Health programs
were funded in two separate accounts (Energy Supply and
Conservation and Other Defense Activities). Beginning in
2008, those activities have been restructured and are now
funded by the Health, Safety and Security Program within

age investments in new, advanced nuclear plants in the
United States. The Budget continues to support the Advanced
Fuel Cycle Initiative, including the Global Nuclear Energy
Partnership, which aims to accelerate the development of
technologies that will reduce the volume of high-level waste
from spent nuclear fuel, reduce the long-term radiotoxicity
of spent nuclear fuel, reduce the long-term proliferation threat
posed by civilian inventories of plutonium in spent nuclear
fuel, and recover the energy content in spent nuclear fuel
in a manner that enhances proliferation-resistance. The Budget also supports the Generation IV Nuclear Energy Systems
Initiative (Gen IV), through which the United States will
participate in multinational research and development
projects in support of next generation nuclear reactors. The
Budget further supports the Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative,
which will develop advanced technologies that can be used
in tandem with Gen IV nuclear plants to generate economic,
commercial quantities of hydrogen to support a sustainable,
clean energy future for the United States. It is important
to note that two Nuclear Energy activities, the Mixed Oxide
Fuel Fabrication Facility and Safeguards and Security for
Idaho National Laboratory are funded under the Other Defense Activities appropriation.
Nuclear Energy programs also support the Department’s
critical infrastructure necessary to enable research on advanced nuclear power systems for U.S. national security and
other federal agencies, and to maintain and operate the Department’s nuclear facilities in a safe, environmentally compliant, and cost-effective manner.

Programs within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) undertake research, development, and
deployment activities to advance the use of renewable energy
and energy efficiency technologies and related practices to
help meet the growing need for clean and affordable energy.
EERE also provides grants to States for energy efficiency
improvements. Specific 2009 activities include:
Hydrogen Technology.—This program develops hydrogen
production, storage, and delivery and fuel cell technologies
that are more energy efficient, cleaner, safer, and lower in
cost. The long-term aim is to develop hydrogen technology
that will allow the Nation to aggressively move forward to
achieve a vision of a cleaner, more secure energy future. Current research aims to enable industry to commercialize a hydrogen infrastructure and fuel cell vehicles by 2020.
Biomass.—This program funds research, development, and
technology validation on advanced technologies that could enable future biorefineries to sustainably and economically convert cellulosic biomass to fuels, chemical, heat, and power.
The program’s goal is to help make cellulosic ethanol cost
competitive by 2012 using a wide array of regionally available
biomass sources.
Solar Energy.—Through the Solar America Initiative, the
program will help accelerate the market competitiveness of
photovoltaic systems using several industry-led consortia
which are focused on lowering the cost of solar energy through
manufacturing and efficiency improvements. Concentrating
solar power activities are focused on lowering the cost of
solar energy using centralized generation and development
of thermal storage to provide baseload power on demand.
Wind Energy.—This program develops technology in partnership with industry to allow wind power to be cost-competitive in various locales across the more prevalent, lower-wind
speed areas. The program also supports activities to help
reduce barriers to electric grid interconnection as well as
other issues related to technology acceptance in the market.
Water Power.—This new effort will initially focus on conducting technology characterizations, resource assessments,
and facilitating the advancement of water power technologies.
Vehicle
Technologies.—This
program
supports
the
FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership and the 21st Century
Truck Partnership with industry. Program activities encompass a suite of technologies needed for hybrid, plug-in hybrid,
and fuel cell vehicles, including lightweight materials, electronic power control and electric drive motors, and advanced
energy storage devices. This program also supports research
to improve the efficiency of advanced combustion engines,
using fuels with formulations developed for such engines, and
incorporating non-petroleum based components. In general,
program R&D seeks technology breakthroughs that will enable America’s highway transportation to greatly reduce petroleum use. The program also includes community-based outreach via Clean Cities coalitions, competitive awards, and
other activities to facilitate the market adoption of alternative
fuels and highly efficient automotive technologies.
Building Technologies.—In partnership with the buildings
industry, the program develops, promotes, and integrates energy technologies and practices to make buildings more efficient and affordable. The Building Technologies program accelerates the availability of highly efficient building technologies and practices through research and development; increases the minimum efficiency of buildings and equipment
through the promotion of model building efficiency codes and
the promulgation of national lighting and appliance standards; and encourages the use of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies and practices in residential and commercial buildings.
Industrial Technologies.—The program funds cost-shared
research in critical technology areas identified in partnership
with industry. It also funds energy audits and training proSfmt 3616

grams to help U.S. industrial firms reduce their energy use.
The program targets energy efficiency research opportunities
in manufacturing processes and crosscutting energy systems
as well as accelerating near-term market adoption of emerging technologies.
Federal Energy Management Program.—This program reduces the amount, cost, and environmental impact of the Federal Government’s energy use by advancing energy efficiency,
water conservation and renewable energy in Federal facilities,
including DOE facilities.
Facilities and Infrastructure.—The Budget includes funding
for general plant projects and general purpose equipment at
the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Weatherization and Intergovernmental Activities.—This effort includes multiple programs targeted at assisting government and Tribal entities. The State Energy Program provides
financial assistance to States through formula and competitive grants, which help facilitate fulfillment of State roles
in utility policy, building codes, and other areas as well as
enable States to individually tailor energy efficiency projects
to meet local needs. The Tribal Energy Program helps Tribal
leaders develop energy plans and incorporate renewable energy technologies on Tribal lands. The Asia Pacific Partnership—which includes Australia, China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the U.S., and now Canada—encourages clean
energy technology deployment and helps meet goals for energy security, national air pollution reduction, and climate
change. Significant programmatic changes in 2009 include the
elimination of the Weatherization Assistance program and
the Renewable Energy Production Incentive program.

The Fossil Energy Research and Development program supports high-priority, high-risk research that will improve the
Nation’s ability to use coal cleanly and efficiently. The program funds research and development that strengthens the
technology base industry uses in developing new products
and processes to support these national goals. Fossil Energy
R&D supports activities ranging from early concept research
in universities and national laboratories to applied R&D and
proof-of-concept projects in private-sector firms.
President’s Coal Research Initiative.—The goal of
FutureGen is to demonstrate coal-based electricity generation
with carbon capture and storage, through cost-shared
partnering between government and industry. The Clean Coal
Power Initiative (CCPI) also demonstrates advanced coal technology through projects that are cost-shared between government and industry. The Budget includes $241 million towards
the Government’s share of FutureGen and CCPI demonstration projects. Other supporting coal activities include: 1) R&D
for advanced coal-fueled power systems that support carbon
capture and sequestration, including Integrated Gasification
Combined Cycle, hydrogen turbine technology and hydrogen
separation technologies; 2) Sequestration R&D, which focuses
on greenhouse gas capture and sequestration; and 3) Advanced research, which through early concept research,
bridges fundamental research and engineering development.
The Department will continue to increase involvement of the
private sector and academia to help conduct and direct research toward the most critical challenges to coal use for
power generation in the United States.
Fuel Cells.—Fuel cells focuses on fuel cell technology for
distributed and central power generation systems.
Oil and Gas.—The Oil and Gas programs will effect an
orderly termination of activities. No additional funding is required for termination.
Program Direction and Management Support.—The program provides the funding for all headquarters and field personnel and overhead expenses in Fossil Energy R&D and
Clean Coal Technology, including research by Federal employees. In addition, it provides support for day-to-day project
management functions. No funding is proposed for the Alaska
Natural Gas Transportation Project Loan Guarantee program
because existing balances are sufficient to address current
project activity. Also included is the Import/Export Authorization program which will continue regulatory reviews and oversight of the transmission of natural gas across the U.S. borders.
Environmental Restoration.—DOE is managing the environmental cleanup of former and present Fossil Energy project
sites. Activities include environmental protection, onsite
cleanup, and cleanup at several former offsite research and
development locations in Wyoming and Connecticut and environmental efforts at the National Energy Technology Laboratory Morgantown and Pittsburgh sites, and the Albany Research Center.

In 2005, congressional budget subcommittees implemented
a number of structural changes, including the unification of
energy efficiency and renewable energy programs under a
single subcommittee. Consequently, programs formerly funded
under Energy Conservation were funded through the Energy
Supply and Conservation account.

The object of this program is to reduce the vulnerability
of the United States to energy supply disruptions by maintaining a crude oil stockpile capable of rapid deployment at
the direction of the President. This program enables the
President to meet the Nation’s membership commitments
within the International Energy Agency’s coordinated energy
emergency response plans and programs to deter intentional
energy supply disruptions and to take effective, coordinated
action should an energy supply disruption occur.
This account provides for ongoing storage site operations
and maintenance activities, planning activities, drawdown
testing/readiness of the Reserve, planning studies, and program administration. The FY 2009 budget continues to provide further insurance against oil supply disruptions that
could harm the U.S. economy by doubling America’s protection from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) by expanding it from its current size of 695 million barrels (MB) to
1.5 billion barrels. Expansion began in FY 2007 with incremental fill using Federal royalty oil. In FY 2008 DOE will
use $584 million in available balances for the purchase of
additional SPR oil, and will continue to fill using Federal
royalty oil until 727 MB is achieved in FY 2009. Capacity
expansion from 727 million barrels to 1.5 billion barrels will
begin in FY 2008 with land acquisition activities.
The key measure of program performance is expressed as
capability to comply with Level 1 Technical and Performance
Criteria. These criteria are specifically engineered performance and reliability standards applied to critical inventory
storage, drawdown, and distribution systems required for
drawing down and distributing crude oil inventory.

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) provides
timely, accurate and relevant energy information to meet the
requirements of government, industry, and the public in a
manner that promotes sound policymaking, efficient markets,
and public understanding. In carrying out its legislative mandate, EIA conducts survey and data collection operations, produces energy analyses and forecasts, and publishes data and
analyses primarily through the Internet and other electronic
media. These programs require that the agency design, develop and maintain information systems on petroleum, natural gas, coal, nuclear, electricity, alternate fuel sources, and
energy consumption. Activities include collecting data and ensuring its accuracy; preparing forecasts of alternative energy
futures; and preparing reports on energy sources, end-uses,
prices, supply and demand, and associated environmental,
economic, international, and financial matters. In addition,
through its National Energy Information Center, EIA ensures
that all information and data products can be accessed
through the agency’s website, http://www.eia.doe.gov and responds to inquiries from the Congress, the Administration,
state and local government, industry, news media, financial
institutions, academia, and the public. Finally, EIA provides
survey and statistical design standards, documentation standards, and energy data public-use forms clearance and burden
control services.

The Commission supports competitive markets, assures access
to abundant, reliable energy, promotes the development of
a strong energy infrastructure, and prevents market manipulation. Regulated businesses pay fees and charges sufficient
to recover the Commission’s full cost of operations.
On August 8, 2005, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct
2005) was signed into law. This law made fundamental
changes by amending the major statutes implemented by the
Commission: the Federal Power Act (FPA); the Public Utility
Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA); the Public Utility Holding
Company Act (PUHCA); the Natural Gas Act (NGA); and
the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA). As noted below, the
changes made by EPAct 2005 enhance the Commission’s authority to promote the development of electric and natural
gas infrastructure, wholesale competition in the electric industry, electric and natural gas market transparency, and consumer protections. This request includes the resources needed
to continue implementing the Commission’s increased responsibilities under EPAct 2005.
Energy Infrastructure.—The Commission seeks to promote
the development of a strong energy infrastructure to meet
market and operational demands. The Commission has two
primary objectives in this area: stimulate appropriate infrastructure development and maintain a reliable and safe infrastructure.
The Commission determines rates for the interstate transportation of natural gas and oil on jurisdictional pipelines
and rates for the interstate transmission and wholesale sales
of electric energy. The Commission has authorized tariff provisions, as appropriate, to allow the natural gas and oil pipelines and public utilities to adjust their services to meet their
customers’ needs to meet competition in their respective markets. The Commission will continue to develop pricing policies
and incentive mechanisms to encourage the development of
the Nation’s energy infrastructure, to promote capital investment, and to support competitive markets. For example, the
Commission now has guidelines for regional transmission organizations (RTOs) operating organized electric markets and
providing long-term financial transmission rights. These
guidelines will increase long-term transmission price certainty
in the organized electricity markets and allow for new investments and other long-term power supply arrangements. In
addition, the Commission has issued a final rule to offer incentives, where appropriate, for potential investors to build
electric transmission facilities. The final rule seeks to ensure
investment in the Nation’s aging transmission infrastructure,
promote electric power reliability and lower costs for consumers by reducing transmission congestion. Furthermore, in
Order No. 890, the Commission increased the ability of customers to access new generation resources by, among other
things, requiring an open, transparent, and coordinated transmission planning process. Such a process will help eliminate
opportunities for discriminatory treatment and provide customers with information to help them decide whether potential investments would reduce congestion or enable integration of new resources.
Among the other fundamental changes, EPAct 2005 also
granted the Commission, for the first time, siting authority
to relieve congestion within certain interstate transmission
corridors when states do not have the authority to act on
transmission proposals or withhold approval of such proposals
for more than one year. While this authority is more limited
than the Commission’s natural gas pipeline siting authority,
it should lower the regulatory barriers to investment in the
transmission grid. The Commission has adopted rules to implement this new authority in accordance with the specific
criteria established in EPAct 2005. Similarly, the Commission
has adopted rules implementing its new authority to grant
market-based rates for natural gas storage and, in November
2006, issued its first order granting such rates. With regard

to liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal facilities, located onshore or in state waters, EPAct 2005 clarified the
Commission’s exclusive jurisdiction to authorize such facilities. Furthermore, the Commission issues preliminary permits, exemptions, licenses, and relicenses for non-federal hydroelectric projects, enforces their terms and conditions, and
performs dam safety inspections. It regulates over 1,700 nonfederal dams, which supply about 5 percent of the electric
energy generated in the United States. The Commission determines the amount of headwater benefits derived from federally owned and FERC-licensed headwater improvements,
collects this amount from licensees, and returns it to the
U.S. Treasury.
The Commission will continue to ensure that landowner
and environmental concerns involving energy projects are
properly addressed and that the public interest is protected
when proposed hydropower projects are licensed or existing
projects are relicensed, and when it authorizes new natural
gas facilities and services. EPAct 2005 adopts procedures that
better coordinate the review process for natural gas infrastructure, allowing final decisions to be rendered in a more
timely manner. Specifically, the Commission is designated as
the lead agency for the purpose of coordinating all applicable
authorizations and performing the environmental review on
the siting and authorization of LNG import terminal facilities,
and interstate natural gas pipelines and storage facilities.
In its role as the lead agency, the Commission establishes
a schedule that all other permitting agencies must follow
and maintains a consolidated record of decisions made or
actions taken that will serve as the record for any judicial
reviews of such actions. In support thereof, the Commission
is in the process of implementing integrated licensing and
pre-filing processes and interagency agreements facilitating
hydropower licensing, pipeline and storage certification, and
LNG facility authorization.
In 2007, the Commission continued to coordinate closely
with representatives of all agencies having a role in natural
gas safety and security matters, including the U.S. Coast
Guard, the Department of Transportation, the Department
of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
and State and local law enforcement. In addition, the Commission placed increased emphasis on plant security measures
and improvements in conducting biennial inspections of jurisdictional LNG facilities and in implementing an agreement
to coordinate security and safety reviews of these facilities
with the Coast Guard and the Office of Pipeline Safety. In
the hydropower program, the Commission continued to emphasize its Hydropower Security Program by leading interagency coordination on federal infrastructure, conducting
workshops on dam site security and emergency action planning, reviewing over 1,000 Commission-required vulnerability
and security assessments of dams, and monitoring the implementation of security upgrades.
The Commission’s electric grid reliability efforts are bolstered by its authority under EPAct 2005. For example, the
Commission oversees the development and enforcement of
mandatory reliability standards for all users, owners, and
operators of the bulk power system as well as enforcement
procedures for violations of those standards. In March 2007,
the Commission, having already certified the ERO, approved
and made mandatory 83 of the 102 initial reliability standards submitted by the ERO for Commission approval. These
standards address critical utility and grid operations and
practices and numerous aspects of monitoring, coordination,
communication, and emergency situations needed to ensure
reliability. The Commission’s continued work to promote electric grid reliability will focus on: 1) overseeing the developVerDate Aug 31 2005

ment and enforcement of mandatory electric reliability standards to protect the bulk power system, including cyber security standards; 2) addressing and improving infrastructure
security; and 3) coordinating efforts with Canada and Mexico
to address reliability standards and other cross-border reliability issues.
Competitive Markets.—The Commission believes that competition, combined with effective regulation, is consistent with
national policy for wholesale energy markets. To that end,
the Commission develops rules that encourage fair and efficient competitive markets and works to prevent the accumulation and exercise of market power.
The Commission continues to promote market transparency
and promulgate and approve clear market rules. Order No.
888 set the foundation upon which to attain competitive electric markets ten years ago. The industry that existed in 1996
when Order No. 888 was issued has changed considerably.
In February 2007 in Order No. 890, the Commission reformed
its open access transmission tariff to ensure that it continues
to remedy opportunities for undue discrimination in the provision of transmission services. Chief among these reforms was
the elimination of transmission providers’ discretion in calculating the available transfer capability, which determines
whether transmission capacity is available. In addition, Order
No. 890 adopted new services which reduce barriers to entry
and facilitate the use of clean energy resources such as wind
power. For wholesale power markets, the Commission has
also amended its rules governing the qualification for marketbased rate authority for public utilities. The Commission routinely places restrictions on affiliate power sales at marketbased rates that may affect ‘‘captive customers.’’ Furthermore,
when authorizing market-based rates, the Commission requires entities to submit triennial market analyses and electronic quarterly reports. Also in 2007, the Commission issued
its second staff report to Congress on demand response in
electricity markets. In addition, the Commission created a
new Energy Innovations Sector tasked with examining demand response, energy efficiency, renewables, and other innovative energy resources in order to determine how these can
be better incorporated into the overall energy markets.
With the enactment of EPAct 2005, the Commission has
additional authority to protect customers. For example, EPAct
2005 repealed the substantive restrictions imposed under
PUHCA 1935, but enacted new statutory provisions, PUHCA
2005, giving the Commission new access to books and records
of holding companies and their associated companies. In October 2006, the Commission adopted uniform accounting, reporting and record keeping requirements for holding companies
and centralized service companies within holding company
systems. These new requirements will provide greater accounting transparency and help protect ratepayers from the
pass-through of improper service company costs. In addition,
the Commission will use its strengthened merger and corporate review authority to continue to ensure that mergers
and consolidations will not harm the public interest. In 2007,
the Commission issued a supplemental policy statement clarifying the information to be filed in merger applications; proposed additional blanket authorization for disposition by a
public utility of its limited voting interests to a holding company; and proposed to codify restrictions on transactions between franchised public utilities with captive customers and
their market-regulated power sales affiliates and their nonutility affiliates to protect against affiliate cross-subsidization.
To further support competitive markets, EPAct 2005 also reforms the PURPA treatment of qualifying facilities, eliminating certain ownership restrictions and allowing the Commission to terminate mandatory purchase obligations in certain circumstances. The Commission has adopted rules implementing these statutory changes.

Enforcement.—The Commission has adjusted its regulatory
policies to meet the dramatic changes that have occurred
in both the natural gas and electric industries, in particular
the change to greater reliance on competition to set prices.
It is important that the Commission understands market dynamics in order to detect violations of statutory and regulatory requirements quickly. The Commission seeks to prevent
violations of its rules, enforce compliance with its jurisdictional laws, publicize misconduct where appropriate, and take
prompt action to prevent future misconduct. The Commission
can identify violations by many methods, including review
of market information required to be filed by market participants; investigations of significant price spikes or market
anomalies; periodic audits of compliance with Commission tariffs, rules and regulations; referrals from RTO and independent system operator market monitors; tips and complaints from the public and market participants; and selfreports of violations by companies. (The Commission’s October
2005 Enforcement Policy Statement encourages companies to
self-report violations to mitigate remedies).
Perhaps most important, the Commission must ensure that
jurisdictional utilities have effective internal monitoring and
compliance programs in place to help assure that they are
following established Commission rules and regulations. The
Commission periodically audits the compliance with Commission rules, regulations, and other statutory requirements.
To help market participants and regulated entities comply
with the Commission’s rules, the Commission works with
stakeholders to explain the intent and requirements of its
rules and the laws it administers. In 2006, the Commission
adopted rules detailing prohibitions on energy market manipulation. The Commission has also adopted procedures to allow
companies to challenge the findings of operational audits before a final order is issued. The Commission also has initiated
a ‘‘no action letter’’ process to permit market participants
to seek advice on whether staff would recommend action
against specific transactions in light of the relevant laws and
policies. Such initiatives will provide greater clarity and regulatory certainty.
The Commission’s enforcement tools were greatly reinforced
when EPAct 2005 conferred expanded authority which provided, for the first time, penalty authority for violations of
the NGA and all of Part II of the FPA. It further provided
or increased (for violations of the NGPA) the level of penalties
to $1 million each day for the duration of the violation. Penalties of this magnitude also are applicable, pursuant to
EPAct 2005 amendments to the FPA and NGA, to any entity
(not just companies traditionally subject to the Commission’s
jurisdiction) that manipulates wholesale gas or electric markets by engaging in fraud or deceit in connection with jurisdictional transactions. Armed with this expanded authority,
the Commission intends to create an even stronger and more
effective compliance and enforcement program to protect the
public interest.
Management Initiatives.—The Commission has initiatives
underway and processes in place to support its three strategic
goals and the President’s Management Agenda. These activities, including alternative dispute resolution and litigation,
and the effective management of human capital, agency resources, and information technology help the Commission
work more efficiently both within and across program areas.
The Commission also relies on various methods to communicate its policies and actions to the public. Open lines of
communication with affected parties are critical for effective
functioning of the Commission’s operations.

The Budget proposes to transfer $149 million in prior-year
balances to the Fossil Energy Research and Development program. These balances are no longer needed to complete active
projects in the Clean Coal Technology program. The Budget
proposes to redirect these funds for work on FutureGen and
Clean Coal Power Initiative projects to demonstrate carbon
capture for coal-fired power plants.

The alternative fuels program was established in 1980 for
the purpose of expediting the development and production
of alternative fuels from coal.
Upon default of the borrower in 1985 under a Department
of Energy Federal loan guarantee, the Department acquired
ownership of the Great Plains Coal Gasification Project plant
by foreclosure. On October 31, 1988, the Department completed an asset purchase agreement of the Great Plains Gasification Plant by Dakota Gasification Company (DGC).
Negotiated settlement agreements dated February 16, 1994,
resolved all past disputes as well as restructured the Gas
Purchase Agreements pricing provisions.
Funds in this account are used to pay for expenses and
responsibilities related to the Department’s prior operation
of the Great Plains Coal Gasification Project and the administration of the Asset Purchase Agreement and related contracts and agreements which transferred the facility to the
private sector. Remaining outstanding obligations are for carrying out contractual obligations to the termination of the
contract in 2009. The largest recent costs were for technical
analysis to determine the reduction in net synthetic natural
gas production at the Great Plains Synfuels Plant caused
by the operation of an Anhydrous Ammonia Synthesis Plant
within the larger gasification facility, and its effect on revenues. The Federal revenue sharing receipts are based on this
review and analysis.

ELK HILLS SCHOOL LANDS FUND

Title XXXIV, Subtitle B of Public Law 104–106 required
the Department to sell the government’s interest in Naval
Petroleum Reserve No. 1 (Elk Hills) pursuant to the terms
of the Act. The sale occurred in February 1998. Section 3415
of the Act required, among other things, that the Department
make an offer of settlement based on the fair value of the
State of California’s longstanding claims to two parcels of
land (‘‘school lands’’) within the Reserve. Under the Act, nine
percent of the net proceeds were reserved in a contingent
fund in the Treasury for payment to the State. In compliance
with the Act and in order to remove any cloud over title
which could diminish the sales value of the Reserve, the Department entered into a settlement agreement with the State
on October 11, 1996. That agreement calls for payment to
the State, subject to appropriations, of nine percent of the
net proceeds of sale, payable over a seven-year period (without interest), commencing in 1999. Under the settlement
agreement and provided that funds are appropriated, the first
five installments are for $36 million each year, and the remaining balance is to be paid in two equal installments in
years six and seven unless the seventh payment needs to
be deferred in whole or in part due to the equity finalization
schedule. Under the settlement agreement, $300 million has
been paid to the State of California. There is no request
for funding in FY 2009. The timing and levels of any future
budget request are dependent on the schedule and results
of the equity finalization process.

The Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve assures a home
heating oil supply for the Northeast States during times of
very low inventories and significant threats to immediate supply. Two million barrels of heating oil will protect the Northeast against a disruption for 10 days, the time required for
ships to carry heating oil from the Gulf of Mexico to New
York Harbor.
Contracts for the storage, operation and maintenance of
the reserve were awarded on August 7, 2007. A sale of 35,000
barrels was conducted to offset storage costs. Repurchase of
the oil sold is planned for FY2008. Contracts were awarded
to Amerada Hess (for 1,000,000 barrels in New York harbor)
to Morgan Stanley (for 750,000 barrels in New Haven, CT),
and to Amerada Hess (for 250,000 barrels in Groton, CT).

The Nuclear Waste Disposal Account provides funding to
implement the Federal policy for permanent geologic disposal
of commercial spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive.
The amounts included for 2008 in the budget reflect the
levels provided by the FY 2008 Consolidated Appropriations
Act (P.L. 110–161, Division C, as amended).
This appropriation was established by the Congress as part
of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (P.L. 97–425) , as
amended, for purposes of radioactive waste disposal activities
particularly for the disposal and storage of high-level radioactive waste, spent nuclear fuel, and low-level radioactive
waste as well as for research, development, and demonstration regarding disposal of high-level radioactive waste and
spent nuclear fuel.
The Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management
(OCRWM) will move into the next phase of the program with
its planned submission to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) of a license application to receive a construction authorization to build and operate a permanent geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. During the next three to
four years, OCRWM’s primary focus will be defending the
license application to the NRC, and all program activities
are oriented towards this effort.
Enactment of the Administration’s proposed legislation, the
Nuclear Waste Management and Disposal Act, remains a priority for OCRWM in the coming years. Receiving a construction authorization and enactment of the legislative proposal
are the key remaining steps to ensure the opening of the
Yucca Mountain repository, the establishment of the National
and Nevada waste transportation systems, and the completion
of the activities required to support and emplacement of spent
nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste at the repository.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2009

cprice-sewell on PROD1PC71 with BUDGET PAG

TITLE 17 INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY LOAN GUARANTEE LOAN
PROGRAM—Continued

The Loan Guarantee Program Office will consider and coordinate Departmental action on all loan guarantee applications submitted to the Department of Energy in compliance
with Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Section
1703 of that Act authorizes the Department to provide loan
guarantees for renewable energy systems, advanced nuclear
facilities, coal gasification, carbon sequestration, energy efficiency, and many other types of projects. These projects must
avoid, reduce, or sequester air pollutants or anthropogenic
emissions of greenhouse gases; employ new or significantly
improved technologies compared to commercial technologies
in service in the United States at the time the guarantee
is issued; and offer a reasonable prospect of repayment of
the principal and interest on the guaranteed obligation.
On October 23, 2007, the Department published in the Federal Register final regulations for the loan guarantee program
as authorized by Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005
(EPAct). The final rule was the culmination of a public rulemaking process, which began with a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published on May 16, 2007. DOE is implementing
this program under authorizing law that allows borrowers
to pay the credit subsidy costs of these loan guarantees. DOE
is not seeking appropriations for the credit subsidy costs.
On October 4, 2007, the Department invited 16 project
sponsors, who submitted pre-applications under the first solicitation in the Fall of 2006, to submit full applications for
loan guarantees. These projects include advanced technologies
involving the use of biomass, fossil energy, solar, industrial
energy efficiency, electricity delivery and energy reliability,
hydrogen, and alternative fuel vehicles. The decision to issue
loan guarantees will depend on the merits and benefits of
particular project proposals and their compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.
During fiscal year 2008 through 2011, commitments to
guarantee loans under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005, will total $38.5 billion. In the Energy and Water
Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008,
Congress authorized the Department to issue loan guarantees
under the Title XVII program until September 30, 2009. The
Budget now extends that authorization through fiscal years
2010 and 2011, and specifies amounts and uses of loan guarantee authority for those periods consistent with Congressional guidance accompanying the FY 2008 appropriations
act. Of the total provided, $20.0 billion will be available
through fiscal year 2010 to support eligible projects other
than nuclear power plants. The remaining $18.5 billion will
be available through fiscal year 2011 to support nuclear power
plants. The $38.5 billion provided in FY 2008 through 2011
will be in addition to the $4.0 billion in authority provided
in FY 2007 under P.L. 110–05 Section 20320(a). Loan volume
utilized may not be reused.
Because DOE has not yet evaluated the potential subsidy
costs for any projects that might be eligible for Title XVII
loan guarantees, the fiscal year 2009 budget reflects
placeholder estimates for borrower paid loan guarantee subsidy costs, based on an illustrative portfolio. These estimates
are not related to any specific project proposals.
DOE will calculate the credit subsidy cost of any loan guarantee on a case-by-case basis in accordance with FCRA and
OMB Circular A–11. For any project, the terms and conditions
of the guaranteed debt, the risks associated with the project,
and any other factor that affects the amount and timing of
such cash flows will affect the credit subsidy cost calculation.
The Loan Guarantee Program Office will centralize loan
guarantee services for the Department to ensure all processes
and criteria are applied uniformly in accordance with established requirements, procedures and guidelines. The Department requests $19.9 million in funding in fiscal year 2009

to run the Office and support personnel and associated costs.
This request will be offset by collections authorized under
EPACT 2005. To ensure that the Department meets statutory
requirements and implements effective management and oversight of its loan guarantee activities, program funding also
will support the procurement of outside expertise in areas
such as finance, project engineering, and commercial market
assessment.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any
year), as well as administrative expenses of this program.
The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis;
the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

CONTINUING FUND, SOUTHEASTERN POWER ADMINISTRATION

The Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern)
markets power generated at 22 Corps of Engineers’ hydroelectric generating plants in an eleven-State area of the
Southeast. Power deliveries are made by means of contracting
for use of transmission facilities owned by others.
Southeastern sells wholesale power primarily to publicly
and cooperatively-owned electric distribution utilities. Southeastern 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
the costs of operations and the capital invested in power
facilities, with interest, in keeping with statutory requirements.
Program direction.—Provision is made for negotiation and
administration of transmission and power contracts, collection
of revenues, development of wholesale power rates, amortization of the Federal power investment, energy efficiency and
competitiveness program, 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
Purchase power and wheeling.—Provision is made for the
payment of wheeling fees and for the purchase of electricity
in connection with the disposal of power under contracts with
utility companies. Customers are encouraged to use alternative funding mechanisms, including customer advances and
net billing to finance these activities. Offsetting collections
to fund these ongoing operating services are also available
up to $50 million. Estimates for these activities reflect average water levels over the past 20 years and prevailing electricity prices in 2007.
Reimbursable Program.—The FY 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 110–161) provided Southeastern with authority to accept advance payment from customers for
reimbusable work associated with operations and maintenance activities, consistent with those authorized in section
5 of the Flood Control Act of 1944. Funds received from any
State, municipality, corporation, association, firm, district or
individual as an advance payment for reimbursable work will
be credited to Southeastern’s account and remain available
until expended.

A continuing fund maintained from receipts from the sale
and transmission of electric power in the Southeastern service
area, is available to defray emergency expenses necessary
to ensure continuity of service (16 U.S.C. 825s–2). The fund
will be activated in fiscal year 2008 to finance power purchases associated with below normal hydro power generation
due to severe drought. Consistent with sound business practices, the Southeastern Power Administration has implemented a policy to recover all emergency costs associated

A Continuing Fund maintained from receipts from the sale
and transmission of electric power in the Southwestern service area, is available permanently for emergency expenses
necessary to ensure continuity of electric service and continuous operation of the facilities. The fund is also available
on an ongoing basis for paying for purchase power and wheeling expenses when the Administrator determines that such
expenses are necessary to meet contractual obligations for
the sale and delivery of power during periods of below-average
generation (16 U.S.C. 825s–1 as amended further by Public
Law No. 101–101). Consistent with sound business practices,
Southwestern has developed a policy to recover emergency
costs associated with purchased power and wheeling within
one year from the time funds are expended, as proposed in
the 2008 Budget.

The Western Area Power Administration (Western) markets
electric power in fifteen central and western states from federally-owned power plants operated primarily by the Bureau
of Reclamation, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the International Boundary and Water Commission. Western operates
and maintains about 17,000 circuit-miles of high-voltage
transmission lines, more than 290 substations/switchyards
and associated power system controls, and communication and
electrical facilities for 15 separate power projects. Western
also constructs additions and modifications to existing facilities.
In keeping with statutory requirements, Western’s longterm power contracts allow for periodic rate adjustments to
ensure that the Federal Government recovers costs of operations, other costs allocated to power, and the capital investment in power facilities, with interest.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Power is sold to wholesale customers such as municipalities,
cooperatives, irrigation districts, public utility districts, State
and Federal Government agencies, and private utilities. Receipts are deposited in the Reclamation Fund, the Falcon
and Amistad Operating and Maintenance Fund, the General
Fund, the Colorado River Dam Fund and the Colorado River
Basins Power Marketing Fund.
Systems operation and maintenance.—Provides essential
electrical and communication equipment replacements and
upgrades, capitalized moveable equipment, technical services,
and supplies and materials necessary for safe reliable operation and cost-effective maintenance of the power systems.
Purchase power and wheeling.—Provision is made for the
payment of wheeling fees and for the purchase of electricity
in connection with the distribution of power under contracts
with utility companies. Customers are encouraged to contract
for power and wheeling on their own, or use alternative funding mechanisms, including customer advances, net billing and
bill crediting to finance these activities. Ongoing operating
services are also available on a reimbursable basis. As in
past years, the budget continues to provide certain receipt
financing for purchase power and wheeling expenses from
the use of discretionary offsetting receipts collected to recover
these expenses.
System Construction.—Western’s construction and rehabilitation activity emphasizes replacement and upgrades of existing infrastructure to sustain reliable power delivery to its
customers, to contain annual maintenance costs, and to improve overall operational efficiency. Western will continue to
participate in joint construction projects with customers to
encourage more widespread transmission access.
Program Direction.—Provides compensation and all related
expenses for the workforce that operates and maintains Western’s high-voltage interconnected transmission system (systems operation and maintenance program), and those that
plan, design, and supervise the construction of replacements,
upgrades and additions (system construction program) to the
transmission facilities.
Utah Mitigation and Conservation.—This account is primarily for environmental mitigation expenditures covering
fish and wildlife, and recreation resources impacted by the
Central Utah Project and the Colorado River Storage Project
(CRSP) in the State of Utah.
Reimbursable Program.—This program involves services
provided by Western to others under various types of reimbursable arrangements.
Western will continue to spend out of the Colorado River
Dam Fund for operations and maintenance activities associated with the Boulder Canyon Project via a reimbursable
arrangement with the Interior Department’s Bureau of Reclamation. The Colorado River Dam Fund is a revolving fund
operated by the Bureau of Reclamation. Authority for Western
to obligate directly from the Colorado River Dam Fund comes
from section 104(a) of the Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984.

Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) is a 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 10 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, consisting
of over 15,000 circuit miles of high-voltage transmission lines
and 237 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 provides about thirty five percent of the region’s electric energy supply and about three-fourths 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 borrowing authority provided by 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 from the U.S. Treasury
is available to the BPA on a permanent, indefinite basis.
The amount of borrowing outstanding at any time cannot
exceed $4.45 billion. BPA finances its approximate $3.5 billion
annual cost of operations and investments primarily using
power revenues and loans from the U.S. Treasury.
BPA released its Long-Term Regional Dialogue Policy and
Record of Decision in July 2007. The Regional Dialogue Policy
is focused on defining how BPA will market its wholesale
power after 2011 and to ensure it does so in a way that
meets key regional and national energy goals and ensures
BPA’s ability to meet its Treasury obligations.
Operating Expenses: Transmission Services Business Line.—
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 about 15,000 miles of transmission
line and 237 substations, and for maintaining the facilities
and equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 2009.
Power Services.—Provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective resources.
These resources are needed to serve BPA’s portion of the
region’s forecasted net electric load requirements. This activity 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. This activity provides for payVerDate Aug 31 2005

ment of the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs of the
31 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation hydro projects, and amortization on the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation capital investment in power generating facilities and irrigation assistance at Bureau facilities. This activity also provides for the planning, contractual acquisition and
oversight of reliable, cost effective conservation. It also 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 and 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 $4.45 billion of borrowing authority provided by the Transmission Act as amended by the Pacific Northwest Power Act and replenished by
Public Law 98–50 and Public Law 108–7. This category also
includes interest on Corps of Engineers, BPA and U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation appropriated debt.
Capital Investments: 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 cost-effective regional transmission system.
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.
Capital Investments Power Services.—Provides for direct
funding of additions, improvements, and replacements at existing Federal hydroelectric projects in the Northwest. It also
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. This activity provides for the planning, contractual
acquisition and oversight of reliable, cost effective conservation. The 2009 capital obligations are estimated to be $560
million.
Capital Equipment/Capitalized Bond Premium.—Provides
for capital information technologies, and office furniture and
equipment, and software capital development in support of
all BPA programs. It also provides for bond premiums incurred for refinancing of bonds.
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 transmission 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 and
Public Law 108–7, it allows for $4.45 billion of borrowing
from the U.S. Treasury to be outstanding at any time. The
amount of BPA’s current outstanding bonds with the U.S.

Treasury is $2.24 billion. BPA also currently has $6.55 billion
of non-Federal debt outstanding, including Energy Northwest
bonds. BPA will rely primarily on its capital borrowing authority to finance capital projects, but may also elect to use
cash reserves generated by revenues from customers to finance some of these investments.
In 2007, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $1,045
million and also expects to make payments of $774 million
in 2008 and $673 million in 2009. The 2009 payment will
be distributed as follows: interest on bonds and appropriations
($363 million), amortization ($276 million), and other ($34
million). BPA also received credits totaling $70.5 million applied against its Treasury payments in 2007 to reflect
amounts diverted to fish mitigation efforts in the Columbia
and Snake River systems.
BPA considers other strategies to sustain funding for its
infrastructure investment requirements as well. These additional strategies include optimization of Energy Northwest
debt, reserve financing of some amount of transmission investments, and seeking, when feasible, third party financing
sources. BPA, in collaboration with Energy Northwest, is pursuing the refinancing of certain Energy Northwest bonds as
part of an ongoing debt optimization program. Through this
program, BPA uses the reductions in debt service for its Energy Northwest bonds to make advance payments on its Federal debt. Advance payment estimates in the 2009 budget
include $63 million in FY 2008 and $78 million in FY 2009,
consistent with power rate case documentation. Implementation of the refinancing components will be subject to favorable
market conditions and interest rate environment.
Direct Loans.—During 2009, no new direct loan obligations
may be made.
Operating Results.—Total revenues are forecast at approximately $3.4 billion in 2009.
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.
Consistent with Administration policy, BPA will continue
to fully recover, from the sale of electric power and transmission, funds sufficient to cover the full cost of Civil Service
Retirement System and Post-Retirement Health Benefits for
its employees. The entire cost of BPA employees working
under the Federal Employees Retirement System is already
fully recovered in wholesale electric power and transmission
rates.

Western Area Power Administration’s (Western) operation
and maintenance (O&M) 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.
Program Direction.—Western operates and maintains approximately 4,000 miles of transmission lines, substations,
switchyards, communications and control equipment associated with this fund. The personnel compensation and related
expenses for all these activities are quantified 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 O&M, 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 consisting of four major
storage units: Glen Canyon on the Colorado River, Flaming

RECLASSIFICATION

OF

RECEIPTS

The Administration supports reclassification of receipts
from mandatory to discretionary (net zero appropriations) for
the annual operating expenses of Southeastern, Southwestern,
and Western Area Power Marketing Administrations (PMAs).
Reclassification of receipts in this manner would allow the
PMA programs to benefit from the alignment of PMA receipts
with their annual (non-capital) expenditures provided by appropriations. This alignment would foster increased planning
certainty for the PMA programs, which would ultimately improve the reliability and operating efficiency of the Federal
power system. The Administration will continue to pursue
reclassification of receipts through changes to the existing
authorizing statutes or by other means.
