This appropriation supports the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)core programs by providing funds for independent Office of InspectorGeneral (OIG) audit, evaluation, and investigative products and advisoryservices. These products and services consistently provide significantpositive monetary return on investment and contribute substantially to riskreduction, improved environmental quality and human health, as well asimproved business practices, operational efficiency, and accountability.Specifically, the OIG performs contract audits and investigations that focuson costs claimed by contractors and assess the effectiveness of contractmanagement. Assistance agreement audits and investigations evaluate theaward, administration, and costs of assistance agreements. Program audits,evaluations, and investigations determine the extent to which the desiredresults or benefits envisioned by the Administration and the Congress arebeing achieved, and identify activities that could undermine the integrity,efficiency, and effectiveness of EPA programs. Financial statement auditsreview financial systems and statements to ensure that adequate controlsare in place and EPA's accounting information is timely, accurate, reliableand useful, and complies with applicable laws and regulations. Efficiency,risk assessment, and program performance audits review the economy,efficiency, and effectiveness of operations by examining EPA's structureand processes for achieving environmental goals, including assessing risk,setting priorities, developing implementation strategies, and measuringperformance. Information resource management audits review EPA inform-ation technology and systems to test the integrity of data and systemscontrols, as well as compliance with a variety of Federal information secur-ity laws and requirements. Investigations prevent, detect, and seek prosec-ution for criminal activity and serious misconduct in EPA programs andoperations. Major areas of investigative focus include: financial fraud; in-frastructure/terrorist threat; program integrity; employee integrity; cyber-crimes; and theft of intellectual or sensitive data. In addition, the EPA In-spector General serves as the IG for the U.S. Chemical Safety and HazardInvestigation Board, providing the full range of audit, evaluation, and in-vestigative services specified by the Inspector General Act, as amended.Additional funds for audit, evaluation, and investigative activities associatedwith the Hazardous Substance Superfund are appropriated under that ac-count and transferred to the Inspector General account.

This appropriation finances salary, travel, science, technology, environ-mental monitoring, research, and development activities including laborat-ory and center supplies, certain operating expenses (including activitiesunder the Working Capital Fund), contracts, grants, intergovernmentalagreements, and purchases of scientific equipment. In addition, the Admin-istrator will employ persons in the Office of Research and Development(ORD) under the authority provided in 42 U.S.C. 209. The Budget proposesto increase ORD's appointment ceiling under this authority and extend theauthority to the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention. Fur-thermore, the Budget proposes to extend student contractor hiring authorityfor the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention and the Officeof Water through 2027. These activities prioritize robust science andstrengthen the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) research andscientific analysis to inform EPA policy and regulatory development actionsto ensure good stewardship and positive environmental outcomes. Specific-ally in 2023, EPA will place emphasis on the following:

The Air, Climate, and Energy (ACE) research program will conduct arange of science and technology activities to develop and implementstrategies to improve air quality and take action on climate change. Theseinclude: research to inform the review of the national ambient air qualitystandards to improve understanding of ozone, particulate matter, lead,sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide; system researchand life cycle analysis to understand the production, operation, and impactsof energy systems on health and the environment; research on the genera-tion, fate, transport, and chemical transformation of air emissions toidentify individual and population health risks to inform clean air manage-ment decisions; research on the impacts of climate change on human healthand the environment; development and evaluation of new approaches formonitoring levels of air pollutants (including air toxics); development oftools to provide technical assistance to State and local governments andTribes to use in developing clean air plans to achieve air quality standards;and the production of information, decision support tools, and adaptationstrategies to enable stakeholders to account for climate change whenmaking decisions. EPA will continue to implement the renewable fuelsprovisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–58) and the EnergyIndependence and Security Act of 2007 (P.L. 110–140), and will develop,implement, and ensure compliance with regulatory programs that will sig-nificantly reduce emissions from highway and non-road sources.

The Safe and Sustainable Water Resources (SSWR) research programconducts research to meet the science needs in EPA's water program, in-cluding: evaluating groups of contaminants for the protection of humanhealth and the environment; developing innovative tools, technologies, andstrategies for managing water resources (including stormwater); and sup-porting a systems approach for protecting and restoring aquatic systems.The systems approach includes: research to inform setting water qualitycriteria; establishing measures to assess and manage watersheds; and de-veloping effective source control and management methods, especially forurban uses. A major component of the research program is working tosupport EPA's Drinking Water Strategy. Within the SSWR program, re-search will assess, develop, and compile scientifically rigorous tools andmodels that will be used by the Agency, States, Tribes, and municipalitiesto address issues such as lead in drinking water and excess nutrient loading.

The Sustainable and Healthy Communities (SHC) research program, in-cluding Superfund research, implements system-based research to developa new generation of smart technologies to address environmental conditionsin a community. Superfund research costs are appropriated to the HazardousSubstance Superfund Trust Fund appropriation and transferred to this ac-count to allow for proper accounting. The SHC research program develops

decision support tools to enable communities' decision makers to solvecomplex human health and environmental problems. The program willidentify health risks and stressors, especially those that disproportionatelyimpact vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. The decisionsupport tools support critical policy, regulatory, and non-regulatory needsrelated to contaminated site remediation, children's health protection, wastemanagement, and our economy's reliance on quality ecosystem goods andservices. These tools account for the interrelationships between social,economic, health, ecological, and environmental factors with the aim tominimize unintended consequences that can result from decisions aboutland use, transportation, and solid waste management, as well as promotemore robust and efficient infrastructure.

The Health and Environmental Risk Assessment (HERA) research pro-gram develops assessments and scientific products that are used extensivelyby EPA's Program and Regional offices, and other parties, to estimate thepotential risk to public health from exposure to environmental contaminants,to develop regulatory standards, and to manage environmental clean-ups.This includes EPA's All Ages Lead Model which predicts lead concentrationin body tissues and organs for a hypothetical individual, based on a simu-lated lifetime of lead exposure. The HERA research program provides thescientific foundation for Agency actions to protect public health and theenvironment.

The Homeland Security Research Program (HSRP) will continue tosupport research efforts on evaluating chemical, biological, and radiological(CBR) analytical methods. The HSRP will conduct research on decontam-ination and methods to manage potential public health consequences anddevelop methods to protect water infrastructures and assess threats andconsequences. In 2023, decontamination research will continue to addressexisting scientific knowledge gaps in responding to and recovering fromwide-area CBR attacks on urban centers and public areas. Water Infrastruc-ture Protection Research will focus on developing and testing decontamin-ation approaches for water infrastructure and on treating CBR contaminatedwater caused by terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and/or accidents. Re-search on real-time distribution system models and methods to isolate andtreat contaminated water, clean distribution systems, redirect water, andreturn water systems to service quickly and affordably is in progress. EPAalso will continue to support water sector-specific agency responsibilitiesto protect the Nation's critical water infrastructure.

EPA's Chemical Safety for Sustainability (CSS) research program is de-signed to strengthen the Agency's ability to evaluate and predict the poten-tial environmental and human health impacts from use of manufacturedchemicals throughout their lifecycle. The CSS program supports the devel-opment and application of improved and new computational systems;models of pathways and tissues; rapid cost-efficient exposure models; anduser-friendly web-based tools for analysis and decision support. The CSSprogram will continue to develop approaches for using toxicity and exposuredata to inform screening and prioritization of the over 40,000 chemicalscurrently on the TSCA Active List, and will continue to inform the Agency'simplementation of key environmental regulations and to address contamin-ants of emerging concern, such as Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances(PFAS). As it relates to the Science and Technology account and theoverall mission of EPA, the protection of human health includes: ensuringthe availability of appropriate analytical methods for detecting pesticideresidues in food and feed; ensuring suitability for monitoring pesticideresidues; and enforcing tolerances. The program accomplishes this by de-veloping and validating multi-residue pesticide analytical methods for food,feed, and water for use by other Federal and State laboratories and EPA'sprograms and regions. Laboratories further support the estimation of humanhealth risks from pesticide use by operating the National Pesticide StandardRepository (NPSR).

EPA's Forensics Support program provides expert scientific and technicalsupport for criminal and civil environmental enforcement cases, as well astechnical support for the Agency's compliance efforts. EPA's NationalEnforcement Investigations Center (NEIC) is an environmental forensic

center accredited for both laboratory and field sampling operations thatgenerate environmental data for law enforcement purposes. It is fully ac-credited under International Standards Organization 17025, the mainstandard used by testing and calibration laboratories, as recommended bythe National Academy of Sciences (see Strengthening Forensic Science inthe United States: A Path Forward, National Academy of Sciences, 2009).The NEIC maintains a sophisticated chemistry laboratory and a corps ofhighly trained inspectors and scientists with expertise across media. TheNEIC works closely with EPA's Criminal Investigation Division to providetechnical support (e.g., sampling, analysis, consultation, and testimony) tocriminal investigations. The NEIC also works closely with EPA's Programand Regional Offices to provide technical support, consultation, on-siteinspection, investigation, and case resolution services in support of theAgency's Civil Enforcement program.

EPA's internal operations programs provide centralized managementservices to ensure that EPA is fulfilling its mission. The office and thefunctions it performs is: Office of Mission Support (facilities infrastructureand operations and information technology/data management).

This appropriation includes funds for salaries, travel, contracts, grants,and cooperative agreements for pollution abatement, control, and compli-ance activities and administrative activities of the operating programs, in-cluding activities under the Working Capital Fund. This appropriationsupports core agency programs implementing environmental statutes.

To protect and improve air quality, the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) applies a variety of approaches and tools. These include: developingand implementing strategies to attain ambient air quality standards for thesix criteria pollutants; reducing regional haze through regional approaches

where significant transport of pollutants occurs; and developing controlmeasures for sources that are appropriately regulated at the Federal level.EPA develops and issues national technology-based and risk-based stand-ards using a sector-based approach to reduce the quantity of toxic air pol-lutants emitted from industrial and manufacturing processes, as well asfrom urban sources. The Acid Rain program will continue its market-basedapproach to achieving reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide, primarily fromelectric utilities. The market-based approach also will be used in otherprograms, where permitted under the Clean Air Act, to reduce emissionsof air pollutants. EPA will work with States and sources to implement theGreenhouse Gas Reporting Rule to obtain high quality data in a cost-effect-ive manner. In addition, EPA will develop and use public information andtraining to reduce public exposure to radiation. EPA will focus its domesticefforts to ensure that ozone-depleting substance production and importcaps under the Montreal Protocol and Clean Air Act continue to be met.

EPA works to protect and restore our waters to ensure that drinking wateris safe, and that aquatic ecosystems sustain fish, plants and wildlife, as wellas support economic, recreational, and subsistence activities. EPA will focuson core statutory requirements and water infrastructure. EPA will supportthe following Clean Water Act program components: water quality criteria,standards and technology; National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES); water monitoring; Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs); wa-tershed management; water infrastructure and grants management; corewetlands programs and Clean Water Act section 106 program management.EPA also will work with States and Tribes to reduce risks to drinking watercontaminants, for example, through proposed revisions to the Lead andCopper Rule. In addition, EPA will continue work with States to transitionto the next generation management and reporting tool, the Safe DrinkingWater Information System (SDWIS) Prime used by the majority of statedrinking water programs. The new SDWIS Prime management and report-ing tool will provide improvements in program efficiency and data quality,greater public access to drinking water data, facilitation of electronic report-ing, reductions in reporting burdens on laboratories and water utilities, re-ductions in data management burdens, and ultimately reduction in publichealth risk.

EPA's programs work to preserve land by ensuring proper managementof waste under multiple environmental statutes. EPA will continue to assistStates in putting in place and maintaining permits at facilities that treat,store, or dispose of hazardous waste. Although States are the primary im-plementers of the Corrective Action program, which requires facilitiesmanaging hazardous waste to clean up past releases, EPA directly imple-ments the program in six States and provides technical support and oversightfor State activities. EPA also works with Tribes to maintain tribal under-ground storage tank (UST) programs. EPA also supports the operationsand management of the Brownfields program, including training andtechnical support to assist communities to address issues associated withredevelopment or reuse of properties that may be complicated by thepresence of contamination. EPA works with State, local, and tribal partnersto help protect the public and the environment from releases of hazardoussubstances from chemical handling facilities by helping them develop area-wide emergency response and contingency plans. EPA conducts audits andinspections of those facilities handling more than a threshold quantity ofcertain extremely hazardous chemicals and that are required to implementa Risk Management Program to prevent releases.

In collaboration with our tribal government partners, EPA works tostrengthen human health and environmental protection in Indian Country.EPA works to ensure that its environmental protection programs are imple-mented in Indian Country either by EPA or by the Tribes. EPA will continuethe direct implementation assessment to better understand EPA direct im-plementation responsibilities and activities on a program-by-program basisin Indian Country. Also, EPA provides resources and technical assistancefor federally recognized Tribes to create and maintain effective environ-mental programs by collaborating with Tribes to develop long-term EPA-Tribal Environmental Plans (ETEP) for all federally recognized Tribes.



ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS AND MANAGEMENT—Continued

To ensure that food will be free from unsafe levels of pesticide residues,EPA applies strict health-based standards in establishing and reevaluatingtolerances for residues in food or animal feed. EPA also works to expeditethe registration of reduced risk pesticides when possible, and to ensure thatolder pesticides meet current health and environmental standards. To re-spond to emerging health issues, EPA develops methods to evaluate theefficacy of products intended to combat public health pests. EPA intendsto reduce potential human and environmental risks from commercial andresidential exposure to pesticides through programs that focus on farmworker protection, pollinator health and protection, endangered speciesprotection, environmental stewardship, and integrated pest management.EPA's toxics program will continue to make substantial progress in protect-ing public health and the environment from potentially harmful industrialchemicals by assessing the safety of new and existing chemicals, reducinggaps in the availability of chemical data, strengthening management ofchemical information, and providing easier and more complete public accessto non-confidential chemical data. EPA will conduct existing chemicalprioritization and evaluations under the provisions of the Toxic SubstancesControl Act (TSCA) as amended by the Frank R. Lautenberg ChemicalSafety for the Twenty-First Century Act, and address any unreasonablerisks identified through such evaluations.

EPA will engage both bilaterally and through multilateral institutions toimprove international cooperation to prevent and address the transboundarymovement of pollution and coordinate with other nations to protect theenvironment and human health.

Combined with public demand for information, unprecedented changesin information technology are altering the way EPA, States, and Tribescollect, manage, analyze, use, secure, and provide access to quality envir-onmental information. EPA is working with the States and Tribes tostrengthen our information quality, leverage information maintained byother government organizations, and develop new tools that provide thepublic with simultaneous access to multiple data sets, allowing users tounderstand local, tribal, State, regional, and national environmental condi-tions. Key to achieving information quality will be the further developmentof the National Environmental Information Exchange Network, which isprimarily an affiliation between EPA and the States and Tribes. EPA willcontinue to reduce reporting burdens, improve data quality, and acceleratedata publications by accelerating the replacement of paper-based submis-sions with electronic reporting under the Toxic Release Inventory andother programs.

EPA works in partnership with State and tribal agencies to enforce andbuild compliance with Federal environmental laws passed by the Congressthat ensure our communities have clean air, water, and land. EPA will en-force environmental laws to correct noncompliance and promote cleanupof contaminated sites. To improve compliance with environmental laws,EPA works to provide easy access to tools that help regulated entities,Federal agencies, and the public understand these laws and find efficient,cost-effective means for putting them into practice. EPA's enforcementprogram targets inspections and other compliance monitoring activitiesaccording to the degree of health and environmental risk. The programcollaborates with the Department of Justice, States, local governmentagencies, and tribal governments to ensure consistent and fair enforcementof all environmental laws and regulations. The program seeks to aggress-ively pursue violations that threaten communities, ensure a level economicplaying field by ensuring that violators do not realize an economic benefitfrom noncompliance, and deter future violations. The Civil Enforcementprogram develops, litigates, and settles administrative and civil judicialcases against serious violators of environmental laws. The Criminal En-forcement program enforces the nation's environmental laws through tar-geted investigations of criminal conduct, committed by individual andcorporate defendants, that threatens public health and the environment.Bringing criminal cases sends a strong deterrence message to potential vi-olators, enhances aggregate compliance with laws and regulations and

protects our communities. To maximize compliance, the Agency will refo-cus efforts towards areas with significant noncompliance issues and whereenforcement can address the most substantial impacts to human health andthe environment.

The Budget identifies environmental justice priority areas that aim toexpand EPA's work to ensure environmental justice in underserved com-munities and cumulative impacts of environmental pollution. It includesproposed authorization language to carry out new environmental justicegrants aimed at reducing the disproportionate health impacts of environ-mental pollution and to establish an Environmental Justice Training Pro-gram charged with increasing the capacity of residents of underservedcommunities to identify and address disproportionately adverse humanhealth or environmental effects.

EPA's internal operations programs provide centralized managementservices and leadership to ensure that EPA is fulfilling its mission. Theoffices and the functions they perform within the Environmental Programsand Management appropriation are: the Office of the Administrator (civilrights/Title VII compliance; congressional, intergovernmental and externalrelations; Science Advisory Board; children's health; Small Business Om-budsman; Small Minority Business Assistance; Environmental Justice;NEPA Implementation; and regulatory and economic management andanalysis work); the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (strategic planning,annual planning, and budgeting, financial services, financial management,analysis, and accountability); the Office of General Counsel (FOIA man-agement, civil rights/Title VI compliance, alternate dispute resolution, andlegal advice); and the Office of Mission Support (facilities, infrastructureand operations; acquisition management; human resources managementservices; grants and interagency agreements; suspension and debarment;administrative law exchange network; information security; and informationtechnology/data management). Since these centralized services providesupport across EPA, many of these programs are funded across EPA's ap-propriations.

This appropriation supports core Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)programs through grants to States, Tribes and U.S. districts and Territories.Funding is provided to assist State and tribal partners in implementing theirenvironmental programs to protect human health and the environment.EPA is using common elements for State and tribal grant agreements, in-cluding Performance Partnership Grants.

The EPA will provide financial and technical assistance to assist Statesand Tribes in the development and management of their clean air plansand support solutions that address their local air quality management needs.EPA also will provide funds to States and Tribes using section 105 authorityof the Clean Air Act to operate and maintain air monitoring networks toobtain data on emissions of criteria pollutants and air toxics. EPA hasfunded State and local fine particulate monitoring using the requirementsof section 103 of the Clean Air Act, as authorized in annual appropriationbills. EPA also is committed to transitioning funding for fine particulatemonitoring into the funding authorized by section 105 of the Clean AirAct. Section 103 provides full funding for pilot programs, demonstrations,research, and other one-time activities, whereas section 105 requires Statesand local agencies to provide matching funds of at least 40 percent of theamount required for the entire continuing State or local clean air program.Using funds provided by EPA under Clean Air Act sections 103 and 105,States and Tribes will prepare State Implementation Plans and Tribal Im-plementation Plans to achieve the National Ambient Air Quality Standards,implement monitoring requirements, and support the National Air ToxicsTrends Stations monitoring network. Additionally, States may utilizefunding to support States' collection, review, and use of greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions data and permitting of large sources of GHG's. EPA alsowill implement the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act Grant Program byproviding funding through grants and rebates to continue to reduce dieselemissions in priority areas and areas of highly concentrated diesel pollution.

EPA also will support its partnerships with States, Tribes, and U.S. Ter-ritories through water grants and Performance Partnership grants to carryout core statutory requirements of the Clean Water Act and the SafeDrinking Water Act. Funding supports work to reduce human exposure tocontaminants in drinking water, fish and shellfish, and recreational watersand to protect and restore watersheds and aquatic ecosystems. Funding isprovided through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) forStates and Tribes to make low interest loans to public water systems toupgrade drinking water infrastructure to help them provide safe drinkingwater. In addition, Clean Water SRF funding provides low interest loansto communities and includes a set-aside for Tribes and U.S. Territories toconstruct wastewater treatment infrastructure, in addition to other projectsthat enhance water quality. In sum, the Federal Government has investedover $72 billion in grants to help capitalize the SRFs. With the requiredState match, additional State contributions, and funds from programleveraging, funds made available for loans total over $200 billion sincetheir inception. EPA will continue to work with its partners to enhance the




capacity of communities, States, and private investors to plan and financedrinking water and wastewater infrastructure improvements.

Direct grants also are provided to help address the significant water andwastewater infrastructure needs of Alaska Native Villages. EPA has imple-mented a management plan that optimizes the pace of the program. EPAwill continue to strengthen State core water quality protection and waterenforcement programs.

The Budget proposes funds for the America's Water Infrastructure Actand Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act grant programsthat will assist in lead testing in schools, reducing lead in drinking water,increasing resiliency at drinking water systems, sewer overflow control,and water infrastructure workforce investment. These resources wouldcomplement State and local drinking water and wastewater infrastructureinvestments as well as funding provided through other Federal channels.

The Budget proposes funds for several new grants authorized by theDrinking Water Infrastructure Act of 2021 (DWWIA). The Budget proposesfunds for several new grants authorized by the Drinking Water InfrastructureAct of 2021 (DWWIA). DWWIA takes important steps towards providingeveryone in this country with access to clean, safe, and affordable water.It authorizes increased funding for new and existing drinking water,wastewater, and stormwater programs that will help to provide critical re-sources to communities across the country. While much more needs to bedone, including acting upon President Biden's ambitious proposals for ad-dressing our water infrastructure problems, DWWIA makes importantcontributions to the tremendous task of fixing our failing infrastructure.

Consistent with the Biden-Harris Lead Pipe and Paint Action Plan, theBudget includes a lead pipe inventory of existing funding that tracks Ad-ministration-wide investments in lead pipe replacement. This crosscut canbe found in the Supplemental Materials of the Analytical Perspectivespublished by the Office of Management and Budget.

EPA's Brownfields program supports land revitalization by providinggrants to States, Tribes, and local communities to assess and clean up realproperty which may be complicated by the presence or potential presenceof a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. EPA Brownfields as-sessment and clean-up projects assist local communities in paving the wayfor the productive reuse of contaminated properties and abandoned sites.

Hazardous and non-hazardous wastes on the land can migrate to the air,groundwater, and surface water, contaminating drinking water supplies,causing acute illnesses or chronic diseases, and threatening healthy ecosys-tems in urban, rural, and suburban areas. Under the Resource Conservationand Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, EPA provides grants to States tostrengthen their ability to implement hazardous waste programs. Whenappropriate, EPA also may provide financial and technical assistance toeligible tribal governments and inter-tribal consortia to conduct hazardouswaste work in Indian Country. The Budget proposes resources for carryingout section 302(a) of the Save our Seas 2.0 Act.

In addition, EPA provides grants to assist States, Tribes, and other partnerswith worker safety activities, protection of endangered species and watersources, and promotion of environmental stewardship. To protect, sustainor restore the health of people, communities and ecosystems, EPA focuseson the geographic areas with human and ecological communities at mostrisk. EPA is working to protect, sustain, and restore the health of naturalhabitats and ecosystems by identifying and evaluating problem areas, de-veloping tools, and improving community capacity to address problems.

Under Federal environmental statutes, EPA is responsible for protectinghuman health and the environment in Indian Country. EPA works withover 560 federally recognized Tribes located across the United States toimprove environmental and human health outcomes. Indian Country totalsmore than 70 million acres, with reservations ranging from less than 10acres to more than 14 million acres. EPA will provide funding to build andenhance the capacity of Tribes to address environmental and public healthchallenges in Indian Country, including lack of access to safe drinking

water, sanitation, adequate waste facilities, and other environmental safe-guards taken for granted elsewhere.

EPA will provide funding to States, U.S. Territories, Tribes, and inter-tribal consortia to help them develop their information management andtechnology capabilities. The purpose of this support is two-fold: to assistthe Agency in providing ready access to real-time environmental informa-tion; and to allow States and Tribes to better integrate and share their en-vironmental information.

To promote compliance with laws intended to protect human health andthe environment, EPA will continue to award State and tribal grants to assistin the implementation of compliance and enforcement provisions of envir-onmental laws. EPA provides funding to States and Tribes for complianceassurance activities including inspections and enforcement case supportactivities. EPA programs will provide Pesticide Program State and TribalAssistance Grants that support pesticide product and user compliance withprovisions of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act(FIFRA) through cooperative agreements with States and Tribes. The co-operative agreements support State and tribal compliance and enforcementactivities under FIFRA.

Toxic Substance Compliance Grants are provided to States and Tribesto prevent or eliminate unreasonable risks to human health or the environ-ment and to ensure compliance with toxic substance regulations. The grantssupport inspection programs associated with the Asbestos Hazard Emer-gency Response Act (AHERA), lead-based paint (402(a), 406(b), and theRenovation, Repair and Painting rule [RRP]), and polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs). The compliance monitoring activities conducted by the States willbe a cooperative endeavor addressing the priorities of the Federal ToxicSubstances Control Act program and State toxics program issues.

Fee Spending Restrictions. Current statutory language in the Federal In-secticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) restricts the activitiesthat Environmental Protection Agency can fund from collections depositedin the Reregistration and Expedited Processing Revolving Fund. The Budgetproposes language to clarify the Agency's authority to utilize resources inthe Fund to review existing pesticide registrations for their compliancewith current FIFRA standards, ensuring market access for pesticide regis-trants. Specifically, fees collected would be available for the followingpesticide regulatory activities: processing and review of submissions madeunder FIFRA, data submitted in association with a current registration, in-formation submitted pursuant to section 6(a)(2), processing and review ofadditional uses registered by States under section 24(c), applications foremergency exemptions, and notifications; laboratory support; administrativeand systems support; development of policy and guidance; rulemaking


support; information collection activities; and the portions of salaries relatedto work in these areas.

This appropriation provides funds for the implementation of the Compre-hensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980,as amended (CERCLA). This appropriation supports core EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) programs.

To preserve and restore land and to protect human health and the envir-onment, EPA reduces the risks posed by releases of hazardous substances,pollutants, and contaminants, and protects against unacceptable exposureby cleaning up contaminated sites and restoring ground water to beneficialuse. EPA applies the most effective and scientifically sound methods toaddress the risks associated with the presence of hazardous substances,pollutants, and contaminants, improve response capabilities, and maximizethe effectiveness of response and cleanup actions. Cleanup and responseactivity at contaminated sites addresses environmental concerns, such asthe removal of contaminated soil and treatment of contaminated groundwa-ter, to reduce human exposures to hazardous substances, pollutants, andcontaminants, and to provide long-term human health protection. EPAworks to ensure that all releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, andcontaminants into the environment are appropriately addressed by respond-ing to incidents and providing technical support. To prepare for and respondto incidents of national significance, EPA includes among its efforts im-proving decontamination readiness. EPA conducts research to improvemethods and models and to accelerate scientifically defensible and cost-effective decisions for cleanup at complex contaminated sites in accordancewith CERCLA. EPA also works to maximize responsible parties' particip-ation in site cleanups and pursue greater recovery of EPA's cleanup costs.

EPA protects communities and helps return contaminated properties toproductive use by ensuring that responsible parties pay for and/or conductcleanups. The enforcement program recovers Federal cleanup funds fromresponsible parties to save taxpayer dollars. The goal is to maximize theparticipation of liable and viable parties in performing and paying forcleanups in both the remedial and removal programs. EPA investigatesand refers for prosecution criminal and civil violations of CERCLA.

EPA's internal operations programs provide centralized managementservices to ensure that EPA is fulfilling its mission. The offices and thefunctions they perform within the Superfund appropriation are: the Officeof the Administrator (environmental justice); the Office of Chief FinancialOfficer (strategic planning, annual planning and budgeting, financial ser-vices, and financial management, analysis, and accountability); the Officeof General Counsel (alternate dispute resolution and legal advice); and theOffice of Mission Support (facilities infrastructure and operations; acquis-ition management; human resources management services; grant and inter-agency agreement management; suspension and debarment; exchangenetwork; information security; and information technology/data manage-ment) Because these centralized services provide support across EPA, theinternal operations programs are funded across EPA's appropriations.

LUST funds are allocated to States through cooperative agreements toclean up sites posing the greatest threat to human health and the environ-ment as authorized under section 9003(h) of the Solid Waste Disposal Actof 1965, as amended, and also to implement the activities authorized byTitle XV, Subtitle B of EPAct. Funds also are used for grants to non-stateentities under section 8001 of the Resource Conservation and RecoveryAct of 1976, as amended. Federally recognized Tribes receive grant fundingunder Public Law 105–276. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)supports oversight, clean-up, and enforcement programs which are imple-mented by the States. LUST Trust Fund dollars can be used for state-ledclean-ups and for State oversight of responsible party clean-ups. The LUSTprogram promotes effective responses to releases from federally regulatedunderground storage tanks containing petroleum by enhancing State, local,and tribal enforcement and response capability. This appropriation supportscore agency programs.

To protect the Nation's groundwater and drinking water from petroleumreleases from Underground Storage Tanks (UST), EPA provides complianceassistance tools, technical assistance and training to promote and enforceUST systems compliance and clean-ups. EPA also focuses its LUST re-search efforts on assessing sites and evaluating the implications of altern-ative remediation technologies, policies, and management actions to assessand cleanup leaks at fueling stations.

EPA's internal operations programs provide centralized managementservices to ensure that EPA is fulfilling its mission. The offices and thefunctions they perform are: Office of Mission Support (facilities infrastruc-ture and operations, and acquisition management); and the Office of ChiefFinancial Officer (strategic planning; annual planning and budgeting; fin-ancial services; and financial management, analysis, and accountability).

This appropriation provides for the Environmental Protection Agency's(EPA) responsibilities for prevention, preparedness, response, and enforce-ment activities authorized under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA). This appropriationsupports core Agency programs.

EPA's Oil Spill program protects U.S. waters by preventing, preparingfor, responding to, and monitoring oil discharges. Under the regulatoryframework established by the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeas-ure (SPCC) and Federal Response Plan (FRP) regulations, EPA conductsoil spill prevention, preparedness, inspection, and enforcement activitiesassociated with more than 600,000 non-transportation-related oil storagefacilities. The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contin-gency Plan (NCP) identifies EPA's jurisdiction over inland oil spills andsets forth the framework for response. EPA accesses the Oil Spill LiabilityTrust Fund, administered by the U.S. Coast Guard, to obtain reimbursementfor site-specific spill response activities. More than 30,000 oil and hazardoussubstance discharges occur in the United States every year, with a signific-ant portion of these discharges occurring in the inland zone over whichEPA has jurisdiction.

EPA develops and manages the regulations and protocols under SubpartJ of the NCP which require manufacturers of various oil spill responseproducts to test their products prior to listing on a Product Schedule. TheProduct Schedule identifies those oil spill remediation agents, such as dis-persants and surface washing agents, which could be authorized for use byan On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) on an oil discharge. Product testing ensurestheir effectiveness and provides toxicity information used by OSCs andRegional Response Teams in making informed decisions regarding the useof certain products in response to specific spills. EPA focuses its oil spillresearch efforts on human health impacts, ecological effects, and shorelineand coastal impacts from oil discharges and use of dispersants and otherchemical agents, as well as spill remediation alternatives and innovative

technology development and evaluation, including green technologies.Spill response is a priority for the Agency, and EPA has been instrumentalin providing guidance for various response technologies. A key factor inproviding guidance on spill response technologies is developing a firmunderstanding of the science behind spill behavior in the environment.

Appropriated funds for the Inland Oil Spill Programs support work de-signed to prevent oil spills using civil enforcement and compliance assist-ance approaches, as well as to prepare for and respond to any oil dischargesaffecting the inland waters of the United States. Pursuant to Clean WaterAct section 311 (Oil Spill and Hazardous Substances Liability) require-ments, EPA's Civil Enforcement program develops policies; issues admin-istrative clean-up and removal orders and orders protecting public health;pursues administrative remedies and/or refers civil judicial actions to theDepartment of Justice; assesses civil penalties for discharges into the envir-onment or violations of administrative orders or oil pollution preventionregulations; assists regulated entities in understanding their legal require-ments under the Clean Water Act; and assists in the recovery of clean-upcosts expended by the Government.

EPA's internal operations programs provide centralized managementservices to ensure that EPA is fulfilling is mission. The office and functionis Office of Mission Support (facilities infrastructure and operations).
